ions, other id, if given horized by ition of an >on in any )n to make nder shall, icts herein PAGE ough r LOEW'S Loew's Theatres, Inc. ("Loew's") was organized in 1954 under the laws of the State of New York. Its executive offices are located in New York City. Loew's is principally a holding company, owning directly or indirectly the capital stock of a number of operating subsidiaries. The principal Loew's subsidiary, Lorillard Corporation ("Lorillard"), was acquired by Loew's on November 29, 1968, by a statutory merger of Loew's P. L. Co., Inc. ("LPL"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Loew's, into Lorillard; upon consummation of that merger, the existence of LPL ceased and Lorillard, the surviving corporation, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Loew's. This merger is referred to herein as the "Loew's-Lorillard Merger." As used herein, the terms "Loew's" and "Company" refer to Loew's Theatres, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Lorillard, unless the context otherwise requires. Loew's operates 14 hotels in the United States and the Caribbean and is engaged in the business of exhibiting motion pictures in the United States and Canada through owning or operating 110 motion picture theatres and the related real estate and other facilities connected with such theatres in the United States and Canada, owns a combination office-luxury apartment building in New York City and is constructing another such building in New York City. Loew's has also derived income from its portfolio of marketable securities. Through Lorillard, Loew's is also engaged in the manufacture and sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products. The business of Loew's conducted through Lorillard and its subsidiaries also includes the production and sale of pet food and candy. USE OF PROCEEDS Loew's will add to its general corporate funds the proceeds of any exercises of the Warrants and of the stock options to be received from time to time. 3

(c) Because of the decline in market prices of securities during the latter part of the fiscal year ended August 31, 1966, a reserve for unrealized losses of $1,990 (less taxes of $440) was established.

This change in lives resulted in reducing depreciation expense by $1,048 and increasing net income by $528 ($.04 per share) for the year ended August 31, 1967. 5

(2) Assumes that Lorillard stockholders apply Debentures at par as payment upon the exercise of Warrants at the assumed exercise price. (3) After giving effect to the 3 for 1 stock split of Loew's Common Stock effected as of November 27, 1968. For accounting purposes, the Debentures and Warrants have been assigned a combined value equal to the principal amount of the Debentures. An Opinion of the Accounting Principles Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, which would require that values be assigned to the Debentures and the Warrants based on their 7espective fair market values, was suspended pending further study by the Board. The Board has recently issued a draft of an Opinion for comment in which it proposes that the latter accounting be reinstated retroactively. If a final Opinion taking the position in the above draft is issued, Loew's will record the value of the Warrants as Additional Paid-in Capital, and charge the portion attributable to discount on the Deb- entures to deferred debt discount, to be amortized over the life of the Debentures and the remainder, if any, to Excess Cost of Investment in Lorillard over Equity in Net Assets. It is estimated that, in such event, the discount to be recorded would be approximately $40,130,000 and the approximate annual amortization, before taxes, (computed on the "compound interest" method) would range over the life of the issue from a_ low of $900,000 in the first year to a high of $2,050,000 in the 13th year, then declining to $1,600,000 in the 25th year. In this event, Excess Cost of Investment ir Lorillard over Equity in Net Assets would be increased by approximately $63,430,000, Other Assets (deferred debt discount) would be increased by $40,130,000 and Additional Paid-in Capital would be increased by approximately $103,560,000 over the amounts which appear in the condensed pro forma combined balance sheet appear- ing on the following page. 7

Its executive offices art located in New York City. Loew's is principally a holding company, owning directly or indirectly the capital stock of a number of operating subsidiaries. Loew's operates 14 hotels in the United States and the Caribbean and is engaged in the business of exhibiting motion pictures in the United States and Canada through owning or operating 110 motion picture theatres and the related real estate and other facilities connected with such theatres in the United States and Canada, owns a combination office-luxury apartment building in New York City and is con- structing another such building in New York City. Loew's has also derived income from its portfolio of marketable securities. Through Lorillard, Loew's has recently become engaged in the production and sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products, candy and pet food.

No interest expenses or general and administrative expenses have been allocated to securities transactions or dividend income, and accordingly income from these sources may be overstated to this extent and income from other sources correspondingly understated. In addition, no interest has been charged on intercompany transactions. Hotel operations and theatre operations include allocations of rent and other income.

Because of the decline in market prices of securities during the latter part ot the hscal year ended August 31, 1966, Loew's established a reserve for unrealized losses of $1,990,000. The unused portion of the reserve, amounting to $1,862,000, which was no longer required, was restored to income in the fiscal year ended August 31, 1967. If the excess of cost over market values of the Company's portfolio at August 31, 1966 had not required the establishment of this reserve, income from securities transactions for the year then ended, as shown in the foregoing table, would have amounted to $1,550,000 (i.e., $1,990,000 less taxes of $440,000). The restoration of the unused portion of the reserve in the fiscal year ended August 31, 1967, increased income from securities transactions in the year then ended by $1,422,000 ($1,862,000 less taxes of $440,000) over the amounts which would otherwise have been reported for that period. Income from securities transactions for the year ended August 31, 1968, was not affected. See "Other Interests" for information regarding Loew's transactions in stock of Commercial Credit Company (now Control Data Corporation). Hotel Activities and Properties Loew's now operates 14 hotels of which five are in New York City, one is in Chicago and one is in San Francisco, four are resort hotels (one in San Juan, Puerto Rico, one in Bal Harbour, Florida, one in Paradise Island, Nassau, Bahamas and one in Atlantic City, New Jersey) and three are motor hotels (in New York City). A 500 room hotel to be operated by Loew's under a lease agreement is under construction in London, England and is expected to open during 1970. A new hotel in Washington, D. C., on land owned by Loew's is in the planning stage, but no date for commercement of construction can presently be set. Loew's regularly has under review opportunities for expansion of its hotel business. The following table sets forth information and operational data concerning hotels operated by Loew's during at least 11 months of the years ended on the dates indicated : Year Ended August 31, Number of Hotels Number of Rooms Percentage of Occupancy Average Rate per Occupied Room 1963 .................... 3 2,946 75.18 $18.63 1964 .................... 7 4,979 77.31 20.23 1965 .................... 8 5,623 82.32 20.55 1966 .................... 11 7,439 81.44 20.31 1967 .................... 11 7,449 83.63 21.55 1968 .................... 12 7,887 83.36 23.38 No one hotel property contributed as much as 10oJo to the net earnings of Loew's in the fiscal year ended August 31, 1968, although on an interim basis one or more resort hotels may make a greater contribution to earnings due to seasonal factors. The principal sources of revenue of the hotels are rentals of rooms (54.6% in fiscal 1968) and receipts from the sale of food and beverages (34.2%). Additional revenues are received from supplemental services customarily offered in hotels such as parking, telephone and valet services, from a gaming casino in the hotel in Puerto Rico and from rentals of stores and shops comprising parts of the hotels. In addition to the usual dining room facilities, the hotels contain specialty restaurants, cocktail lounges and bars. Some of the supplemental services and facilities are operated directly by the hotels, while others are operated by lessees or concessionaires. The hotels are subject to mortgage indebtedness aggregating approximately $77,400,000 at interest rates ranging from 5 jc to 6/ % and maturing from 1970 to 1988. Apartment buildings referred to below are subject to mortgages aggregating approximately $11,100,000 at interest rates of 6/ % and 6/ c/`c and maturing in 1986 and 1998.

s in paren- :mber heatres 2 1 1 1 > Other Interests Exchange Offer for Cosiz;nercial Credit Conipany Common Stock: In April, 1968, Loew's announced that it had acquired 1,000,700 shares of common stock of Commercial Credit Company ("Commercial"), and would make an Exchange Offer to the holders of common stock of Commercial to exchange their shares for Loew's 5% ~/'o Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 1993, convertible at any time into Common Stock of Loew's at $30.00 a share. A Registration Statement was thereafter filed which became effective on June 13, 1968. Loew's acquired through such Exchange Offer, which expired on June 28, 1968, 11,787 shares of Commercial for which it issued $530,400 principal amount of its 5/% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 1993. Control Data Corporation ("Control Data") sold its assets to Com- mercial for stock, effective on or about August 15, 1968. Subsequent to the expiration of the Exchange Offer through November 15, 1968 Loew's sold Commercial stock and Control Data stock for a profit of approximately $28,500,000 before related taxes and expenses. At November 15, 1968, Loew's held approximately 5,300 shares of Control Data stock. Marketable Seciirities: In order to pursue di, ersified acquisition opportunities and for other purposes Loew's has maintained a significant cash position. In order to utilize this cash productively pending application to such purposes, Loew's has invested a portion of it in marketable securities. The market value of these securities was in excess of $48,000,000 (including Control Data stock) on August 31, 1968. Income from transactions in such portfolio and dividends on portfolio securities contributed significantly to the total income of Loew's in fiscal 1968. There can be no assurance that such income will be derived in the future. Loew's does not employ an investment adviser ; its transactions in market- able securities are under the direction of one of its employees who receives a fixed salary for such services. These services are performed under the supervision of the chief executive officer of Loew's, who devotes less than 10% of his time to such supervision, and under the general supervision of an investment committee of the Board of Directors which periodically receives reports of and reviews such portfolio transactions. Primary emphasis is placed on the possibility of capital appreciation and lesser importance is attached to achieving current income. Loew's has on occasion engaged in short sales, but Loew's had no short sales contracts on August 31, 1968. Westchester Foraon: Loew's has an 80ofo interest in a partnership which has been designated as the sponsor of the commercial portion of an Urban Renewal Project Plan by the City of `Vhite Plains, New York. The project has not been commenced and is subject to fulfillment of various conditions. See "Management-Certain Transactions . Tower 53: Loew's operates on leased land located on the northeast corner of Seventh Avenue and 53rd Street, New York Citt•. a 39-story combination commercial and apartment building. Construction was completed in September, 1967. The commercial portion consists of 8 stories completely rented to J. C. Penney Company, Inc. under a long-term lease and ground floor space leased to Chelsea National Bank. The residential portion contains 213 apartments, all of which were rented as of August 31, 1968. Tower 58: Loew's is constructing a 33-story apartment building, comprising 169 apartments, 4 floors of commercial space and an underground garage, located on 57th and 58th Streets, between Fifth Avenue and Avenue of the Americas in New York City. Construction is expected to be completed during 1969. Loew's has agreed to sell the leasehold interest nz this building for $5,000,000, with an obligation to repurchase such interest payable at the rate of (a) $400,000 per annum plus (b) 50ofo of the net annual rental income less the sum of $448,000, for a period of 40 years. 89th & Madison: On August 28, 1968 Loew's sold, at a price in excess of its investment its 50~fo intere: t in a partnership which is engaged in construction of a luxury apartment complex with cor.i- mercial space, located at 89th Street and Madison Avenue, New York City. The purchaser also agreed to indemnify a subsidiary of Loew's against any liability which may arise under a guaranty of completion niade by the subsidiary of Loew's and Loew's partner, jointly and severally, in connection with a building loan mortgage of $7,750,000 obtained by the partnership. 15 ~

Capitol Theatre Property: The land under the Capitol Theatre on Broadway in New York City, together with adjoining property owned by Loew's has been leased for an initial term of 43 years to a developer who is presently demolishing the theatre and buildings on the property and is erecting a new office building which will contain no less than 1,000,000 square feet. Concurrent with the lease, Loew's purchased the adjoining premises (which is a part of the leased premises) at the northwest corner of 50th Street and Broadway. Other Pi'operties: Loew's also operates four commercial office buildings located respectively in New York City ; Syracuse, New York ; Kansas City, Missouri ; and Los Angeles, California ; and owns approximately 6,700 acres of unimproved land in Brevard and Volusia Counties in Florida. Competition Loew's considers its hotels and tneatres to L)e leading establishments in the areas in which they are located in respect to desirability of location, size, facilities, physical condition and quality of service. The business of providing hotel accommodations and services is highly competitive. There is sub- stantial competition from other hotels, some of which are owned by local competitors and some of which are owned by international or nationwide chains. The business of motion picture exhibition is also highly competitive. Loew's is one of several theatre chains which are nationwide in scope. Loew's operates theatres in certain areas of the United States which are heavily saturated with the theatres of various national and local exhibitors. Conseouently, Loew's faces intense competition from locally signif;cant competitors. In addition to competition from other motion picture theatre operators, Loew's film exhibition business is confronted with other forms of competition in the entertainment field, including television. Employee Relations Loew's employed approximately 9,650 persons as of August 31, 1968. A substantial part of such personnel are represented by labor unions under separate contracts with many local unions which expire at varying times and are then severally renegotiated and renewed. Loew's considers its employee rela- tions satisfactory. The Company has amended the Retirement Plan for Employees of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer ("M-G-M") which covered the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries prior to March 1, 1959. All "eligible employees", as therein defined, of the Company and its subsiuiaries are entitled to share in the benefits provided in the amended Plan. BUSINESS OF LOEW'S CONDUCTED THROUGH LORILLARD Products Cigarettes-Cigarettes represented approximately 90% of Lorillard's consolidated net sales in 1967. The principal filter cigarette brands of Lorillard are KENT, NEWPORT (menthol), TRUE and TRUE (menthol), OLD GOLD Filters and SPRING (menthol) and the principal non-filter cigarette brand is OLD GOLD Straights. In 1967 distribution of CENTURY 100's filter cigarettes was begun in a limited number of areas. Other Tobacco Products-Other tobacco products represented approximately 5ojo of consolidated net sales in 1967. Lorillard's more important smoking tobacco brands are BRIGGS, UNION LEADER, FRIENDS, INDIA HOUSE and BURGL'NDY. Its chewing tobacco brands are BEECH-NUT, BAGPIPE and HAVANA BLOSSOM. Lorillard's little cigar brands are BETWEEN THE ACTS, MADISON and filter-tipped OMEGA, and it also markets a small cigar brand, ERIK.

Subsidiaries In February, 1965, a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of Lorillard, now known as Usen Products Company, acquired substantially all of the assets, business and goodwill of Usen Canning Co., a Massa- chusetts corporation, and assumed substantially all of its liabilities in exchange for shares of the Common Stock of Lorillard. For accounting purposes, the transaction was accounted for in accordance with the "pooling of interests" concept. Usen Products Company is a leading producer of canned cat food with a national distribution of its Tabby and 3 Little Kittens brands. In August, 1968, a subsidiary of Usen Products Company acquired three fishing vessels to supply raw material to its Louisiana cat food factory. In April, 1966, a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of Lorillard named Reed Candy Company acquired substantially all of the assets, business and goodwill as a going concern of Reed Candy Company, an Illinois corporation, and assumed certain of its liabilities in exchange for shares of the Common Stock of Lorillard. For accounting purposes, the transaction was accounted for in accordance with the "pooling of interests" concept. Reed Candy Company produces packaged hard candies and rolls under the REED'S label. In July, 1967, Golden Nugget Candy Company, a Delaware subsidiary of Lorillard (which had acquired for cash certain assets and the business and goodwill as a going concern of Golden Nugget Sweets, Ltd., a California corporation, in November, 1965) was merged into Reed Candy Company and is operated as a division thereof. The Golden Nugget Division, which until recently principally produced five-cent nougat candy bar7 with distribution of its B_a Hurrx and Loox bars in eleven Western states, has a(lded the five-cent and the ten-cent nougat candy bar SIR to its line and has increased its area of distribu- tion to 35 states. In September, 1968, substantially all the assets of Lorillard's wholly-owned subsidiary, Federal Tin and Paper Products, Inc., and the factory in Baltimore, Maryland, leased by Lorillard to such subsidiary were sold for cash approximately equivalent to the book value of such assets. Such subsidiary manufac- tured and sold to Lorillard and to others metal and paper packaging for a variety of products. In 1967 such subsidiary accounted for about 1°fo of consolidated net sales. Competition All of Lorillard's products are sold in highly competitive markets. '."he following table, which sets forth the total unit production of all cigarettes in the United States and the total unit sales of all cigarettes by Lorillard, indicates the relative position in the industry of Lorillard : Calendar Year Industry* (000) Company (000) Company to Industry 1963 ..................... 550,558,727 57,168,726 10.4qo 1964 ..................... 540,906,845 50,941,646 9.47fo 1965 ..................... 556.80r 053 51,211,701 9.2% 1966 ..................... 567.264.483 53,051,966 9.4% 1967 ..................... 576.182,539 57,566,575 10.070 * Source: Reports and bulletins of Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Lorillard for many years has occupied a leading position in the scrap chewing tobacco field. Lorillard's little cigar brands, bIADisoN, BETwEErr TaE ACTS, and filter-tipped OMEGA, accounted for a substantial share of the total little cigar market in 1967. On the basis of information currently available, Lorillard ranks fifth among the major producers of tobacco products in the country. 17

Advertising and Sales Promotion Lorillard's principal brands are advertised and promoted extensively. Advertising and sales promo- tion expenses, accordingly, have been substantial during the past years, and the policy of Lorillard is to continue substantial expenditures for these purposes. The advertising media used by Lorillard include television, radio, magazines, newspapers, outdoor advertising and point-of-sale display materials. In addition, Lorillard nationally distributes Gift Star coupons on its SPRING, OLD GOLD Filters, and OLD GOLD Straights cigarette brands. Sales promotion activities are carried on Uy Lorillard through salesmen, by distribution of samples, point-of-sale display advertising and personal contract with distributors, retailers and consumers. Lorillard's as well as the industry's sales of cigarettes declined following the publication in January 1964 of the report of the Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General, which purported to associate smoking with a number of diseases. (See "Statement of Consolidated Earnings" herein.) Pursuant to Federal legislation, effective January 1, 1966, packages of cigarettes are required to bear the following statement :"Caution : Cigarette Smoking May Be Hazardous To Your Health." The same legislation also provided that no statement relating to smolcing and health would be required in cigarette advertising, if the packages of such cigarettes were labled in conformity with its provisions. Such provision with respect to cigarette advertising will terminate, unless extended, on July 1, 1969. The Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare is directed by such legislation to transmit a report to Congress not later than July 1, 1967 and annually thereafter, concerning (A) current information on the health consequences of smoking and (B) such recommendations for legislation as he may deem appropriate. The Federal Trade Commission is also directed to submit a report to Congress at the same time concerning (A) the effectiveness of cigarette labeling, (B) current practices and methods of cigarette advertising and promotion and (C) such recommendations for legislation as it may deem appropriate. Such reports were submitted to Congress in 1967 and 1968 with recommendations for legislation. Included in such recom- mendations are legislation to ban or limit cigarette advertising on television and radio, to require a revised caution notice in all advertisements and on all cigarette packages reading "Warning : Cigarette Smoking is Dangerous to Health And May Cause Death From Cancer And Other Diseases", and to require a statement setting forth tar and nicotine content on packages and in all advertising. None of such recom- mendations has been enacted. The nine leading manufacturers of cigarettes in the United States, including Lorillard, voluntarily established a Cigarette Advertising Code, effective January 1, 1965, which imposed uniform standards for cigarette advertising for the member companies. Under the Code, no advertising may be used t:nless it has first been subnr" --d to an indel endent Code Administrator and determined by him to comply with the Code standards which relate primarily to such matters as health representations and advertisements directed toward persons under twenty-one years of age. On March 25, 1966, the Federal Trade Commission announced that a factual statement of the tar and nicotine content in cigarette smoke on cigarette labels and advertising would not violate its Cigarette Advertising Guides provided no col- lateral representation is made as to reduction or elimination of health hazards. As Lorillard believed that the Commission's policy as expressed in such announcement provided a greater opportunity to develop and market cigarettes low in tar and nicotine content for thos:e consumers who desire such products, Lorillard resigned from the Code. In so resigning, Lorillard stated that it still intended to adhere to the principles underlying the Code's limitations on advertising to youth. It is the intention of Lorillard to utilize data regarding tar and nicotine content in cigarette smoke ,o wherever appropriate in future advertising. v O- It is not possible to predict the effect of the foregoing developments on Lorillard's sales and earnings. EJ .p n- Distribution Methods Lorillard secures its products distribution through direct sales to jobbers who in turn service retail outlets, and through chain store organizations and vending machines operators who purchase their ,4 I c I S si 11' S m P H A co P.

Lorillard tobacco products aic stocked in public warehouses throughout the country to provide for rapid distribution to customers. International Operations About 8ofo of Lorillard's total unit sales of cigaretts in 1967 were manufactured in the United States and exported. Such exports sales were made directly by Lorillard and through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, P. Lorillard Pan American, Inc., a Western Hemisphere Trade Corporation which services marketing areas in Central and South America and Canada, and P. Lorillard International S. A., Zug, Switzerland, which primarily services the marketing areas of Europe and Africa. License agreements are in effect with thirteen cigarette manufacturers in foreign countries for the manufacture and sale of Lorillard's products on a royalty basis. P. Lorillard Limited, owned jointly by P. Lorillard International S. A. and the stockholders of Lorillard's former licensee and manufacturer in Hong Kong, manufactures certain of Lorillard's brands and other cigarettes for markets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. In 1968 P. Lorillard (Asia) Limited, a subsidiary of P. Lorillard Limited, commenced the manufacture and sale of OMEGA little cigars in Thailand under license from Lorillard. P. Lorillard s.a.r.l., a Luxembourg corporation jointly owned by P. Lorillard International S. A. and Lorillard's former licensee and manufacturer in Luxembourg, also manufactures certain of Lorillard's brands for markets in the Benelux countries, France, Italy and parts of Africa. In 1967, the number of cigarettes manufactured abroad by such affiliates and by other licensees exceeded the export unit sales from the United States. In several countries ownership of some of Lorillard's brands is claimed by others and in several other countries prior registrations of the name "KENT", or a variation thereof, are claimed by others. About 11% of Lorillard's net earnings in 1967 were attributable to exports, foreign licensees and other foreign operations. There are no restrictions as to repatriation of Lorillard's foreign earnings at present and, to Lorillard's knowledge, none is anticipated. Tobacco and Tobacco Prices The two main classes of tobacco grown in the United States are flue-cured tobacco, grown mostly in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida; and burley, grown mostly in Kentucky and Tennessee. Lorillard purchases flue-cured tohac-) primarily for use in cigarettes and purchases burley tobacco for use in cigarettes and smoking tobacco. Lorillard also purchases Maryland tobacco for use in cigarettes and cigars. Most of the tobacco of these classes used by Lorillard is purchased by its own buyers and commission buyers at tobacco auctions. Lorillard also purchases various types of Near Eastern tobacco, most of which is grown in Turkey and Greece. In addition, Lorillard uses seed leaf tobacco, which is grown mostly in Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsyl- vania and Connecticut, in the maufacture of various brands of chewing tobacco and cigars. These tobaccos are largely purchased directly from the growers by Lorillard representatives. Due to varying size and quality of the annual crops and other economic factors, tobacco prices have in the past been subject to wide fluctuations. Among those economic factors are government control of acreage-poundage in the flue-cured producing areas and acreage control in the burley areas. These con- trols together with support prices substantially affect the market prices of tobacco. In the five years ended 1967, the national average auction price per pound for all grades of flue-cured tobacco varied from a low of 58.0 cents in 1963 to a high of 66.9 cents in 1966. Over the same period, the national average auction price per pound for all grades of burley leaf increased from a low of 59.2 cents in 1963 to a high of 71.9 cents in 1967. The price paid by Lorillard increased with such trend. In addition to purchases at auction warehouses, Lorillard purchased substantial quantities of aged tobacco from various sources, principally cooperatives financed under the Commodity Credit Corporation program, to supplement tobacco inventories during those years. Lorillard believes that its current leaf inventories are adequately balanced for its present production requirements. 19
Page 22: kgq90e00 Log in for more options!
In view of the fact that the process of aging tobacco normally requires approximately two years, Lorillard at all times has on hand large quantities of leaf tobacco. In accordance with generally recog- nized trade practice, Lorillard averages the cost of tobacco in inventory and charges to the cost of cur- rent production the tobacco used from inventory at the then average cost. Accordingly, increases or decreases in prices paid for tobacco currently purchased are reflected only partly in current production costs. Borrowings The cash requirements of Lorillard are usually at a maximum between September and March, because of heavy leaf buying during this period, and at a mini.num in the summer, prior to such buying season. It is customary in the industry to borrow short-term funds in order to finance these seasonal purchases of leaf tobacco. During 1967 short-term borrowings ranged between a minimum and maximum of $5,000,000 and $54,300,000, respectively. Such short-term borrowings on September 16, 1968 were $38,050,000. Sales Prices The list prices per thousand of Lorillard's principal cigarette brands are as follows : 100 mm. filter, $9.95 ; and filter and non-filter king-size, crush-proof box and regular size, $9.45. Such figures reflect a price increase, announced on June 2, 1967, of 75¢ per thousand for 100 mm. filter cigarettes and 250 per thousand for filter and non-filter king-size and crush-proof box, filter regular size and non-filter regular size cigarettes and a price increase effective November 2, 1968 of 200 per thousand for non-filter regular size cigarettes. The prices include Federal excise tax at the rate of $4 per thousand and are subject to the usual 2% cash discount if paid within ten days. State and Local Taxes At September 15, 1968, excise taxes on cigarettes, which are levied upon and paid by the distributors, were in effect in forty-nine States and the District of Columbia. Such taxes, many of which have been recently increased, range from 2% cents to 15 cents per package of twenty cigarettes. In addition, many municipal taxing authorities impose taxes on cigarettes. Employees On September 15, 1968, Lorillard and it~ subsidiaries had approximately 7,000 employees, of whom 4,300 were hourly rated production and service employees covered by collective bargaining agreements. The remaining 2,700 employees were salaried, hourly, or sales employees not covered by collective bar- gaining agreements. For more than the last five years Lorillard has not experienced a major inter- ruption in operations involving any labor disputes. Collective bargaining agreements for a term of 3 years and covering approximately 4,000 production employees represented by the Tobacco Workers' International Union of Lorillard's plants in Greensboro, North Carolina, Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky, and Danville, Virginia, were entered into in the Spring of 1968. Included in the settlements were : hourly rate increases, wage adjustments for certain jobs, improvements in employee benefits coverage and increased pensions. The projected increased costs of these contractual settlements will approximate $2,718,000 for 1968, an additional $882,000 in 1969, and an additional $987,000 in 1970. Collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 500 other employees of Lorillard and of its subsidiaries are scheduled to expire at various dates to February, 1970. Pursuant to a commitment made in the course of collective bargaining negotiations in 1965, Lorillard has a deferred Profit Sharing Plan which became effective on January 1, 1968. Contributions under such plan, which are based upon annual earnings, will be made to a trust fund for the benefit of all regular and full-time employees of Lorillard and its tobacco subsidiaries, including directors and officers, who have completed 36 months of continuous service (and to certain seasonal employees) in 20 prc ter: eff: par gat is i Loi inst of t Prc the prol by1 and Lou and mat sq. as w tuck of al acre plan Com in a The Calif Soutl Incor ceedi Act a tion z of tha enter ] conse upon sition I

Distributions from the trust will be made after termination of employment except discharges for cause as defined in such plan. If such plan had been in effect in 1967, approximately 4,400 employees, including nineteen directors and officers, would have participated therein and payments by Lorillard for 1967 to the trust under such plan would have aggre- gated approximately $2,000,000 (deductible for Federal income tax purposes). Lorillard has separate non-contributory retirement plans for hourly-rated employees. (Reference is made to note 7 to the Lorillard Financial Statements for further information concerning such plans.) Lorillard also has a discretionary bonus program for members of its sales organization and group life insurance, disability and major medical insurance plans. Similar plans are also in effect for employees of the subsidiary companies. Property The properties of Lorillard are employed generally in the processing and storing of tobacco and in the manufacture of Lorillard's tobacco products and storage of such manufactured products. Its principal properties are owned in fee and are located as set forth below. With minor exceptions, all machinery used by Lorillard is owned by it. All properties are in good condition, and the cigarette-making machinery and the cigarette-wrapping and packing machinery are of modern design and of high-speed type. Lorillard has plants for manufacture of its tobacco products at Greensboro, North Carolina, and Louisville, Kentucky. The Greensboro plant is devoted exclusively to the manufacture of cigarettes and is a modern, one-story air-conditioned building of approximately 700,000 sq. ft. on a plot of approxi- mately eighty acres. The Louisville plant, consists of multi-storied buildings totaling about 800,000 sq. ft. of floor space on a plot of about twenty-four acres, is utilized for the manufacture of cigarettes, as well as little cigars, chewing tobacco and smoking tobacco. Lorillard also has facilities for receiving, processing and storing leaf tobacco at Lexington, Ken- tucky; Danville, Virginia; and Lancaster, Pennylvania. Construction of a research facility to consist of about 70,000 sq. ft. at the Greensboro plant at an estimated cost of $3,000,000, was recently begun. Usen Products Company has a plant and facilities of approximately 103,600 sq. ft. on a sixty-two acre plot in Woburn, Massachusetts and in 1966 it commenced operations in a processing and canning plant of approximately 57,500 sq. ft. on a five-acre plot in Golden Meadow, Louisiana. Reed Candy Company has plant space of about 70,000 sq. ft. ir. Chicago, Illinois and has recently begun operations in a 72,0)0 sq. ft. manufacturing facility on approximately fifty-three acres at Campbellsville, Kentucky. The Golden Nugget Division of Reed Candy Company leases a 10,000 sq. ft. plant in San Francisco, California. Lorillard leases executive offices at 200 East 42nd Street, New York, New York 10017. PENDING LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Consent Judgznent. The Consent Judgment entered by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on Feburary 6, 1952, in The United States of America v. Loew's Incor-5orated, et al., represented, as to the M-G-M and Loew's enterprises, the culmination of pro- ceedings instituted in 1938 by the United States Department of Justice under Section 4 of the Sherman Act against the major companies in the United States engaged in the integrated film production, distribu- tion and exhibition businesses. Under the Consent Judgment the District Court has retained jurisdiction of the cause in order to ensure and enforce compliance with its numerous substantive provisions and to entertain motions thereto requesting construction or modification of such provisions. L oew's was required by the terms of the Consent Judgment to file with the District Court its consent to be bound by the terms of certain provisions. Loew's may acquire additional theatres only upon a showing to the court that the acquisition will not unduly restrain competition, unless such acqui- sitions are replacements as defined in the Consent Judgment. 21 f

I Other Antitrust Litigation. Three civil suits for damages, injunctive relief or both for alleged viola- tions of Federal antitrust laws were pending on August 31, 1968, against Loew's and other exhibitors, producers and distributors of motion pictures, in each of which actions either Loew's or one of its theatre subsidiaries was named a defendant or in connection with which Loew's will be liable for a portion of any damages awarded, pursuant to a Reorganization Agreement with M-G-M entered into as a result of the 1952 Consent Judgment. 117anagement is of the opinion that the outcome of these suits will not adversely affect the business or assets of Loew's. The only one of these suits wherein the amount sought as damages from all defendants exceeds 15~f'o of the current assets of Loew's and its consolidated sub- sidiaries as of August 31, 1968 is Broadway and 96th Street Realty Company, et al., v. Loew's Incor•- porated, et al., commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on or about June 1, 1953. Although neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is named as a defendant in this action, Loew's Incorporated (now M-G-M) is sued as an exhibitor as well as a producer and distributor, and consequently the Company will be liable, pursuant to the Reorganiza- tion Agreement, for a portion of costs, counsel fees and other expenses of M-G-M and of any damages awarded against M-G-M. Plaintiffs seek an injunction and treble damages amounting to $14,382,996. Messrs. Davis Polk & Wardwell, counsel for M-G-M, have expressed the opinion that M-G-M has valid defenses to this litigation which should be established successfully in court. Other Litigation. Except as noted above, Loew's is involved in only two legal proceedings which are not routine in nature. An action was commenced on October 20, 1967 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Count}, of "New York by Ruth Jody, a shareholder of Loew's, naming Loew's as a nominal defendant and each of its directors as defendants. Onh- the Company and Messrs. Laurence A. Tisch, Preston R. Tisch and Charles B. Benenson have been served with process. Plaintiff seeks in said action : (a) to impress a trust for the benefit of Loew's upon certain real property located in Chicago, Illinois, purchased by Laurence A. Tisch, Preston R. Tisch and Charles B. Benenson; (b) an accounting and damages (from the directors) ; and (c) a judgment directing Laurence A. Tisch, Preston R. Tisch and Charles B. Benenson to offer Loew's an opportunity to purchase the real property upon the terms and conditions under which they acquired it. Messrs. Laurence A. Tisch, Preston R. Tisch and Charles B. Benenson have interposed answers denying the material allegations of the complaint and asserting various affirmative defenses. An action was commenced on May 1, 1968, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, by the lessor of the Mark Hopkins Hotel, claiming that the option granted to Loew's in the lease of the Mark Hopkins Hotel to extend the term of the lease from 1989 to 2062 was included in the Agreement under a mistake of fact. The lessor does not seek monetary damages. An answer has been interposed by Loew's denying the material allegations of the complaint. Messrs. Goldstein, Barceloux & Goldstein, counsel for Loew's in the litigation, have expressed the opinion that Loew's has meritorious defenses to this litigation which should be established successfully in court. Lorillard. The following summarizes material legal proceedings to which Lorillard is a party and for which its insurance carriers or other parties have not assumed full responsibility. By decree dated November 16, 1911, of the Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York, in a suit entitled United States o f America v. The American Tobacco Company and others, under the Sherman Act, each of fourteen corporations, including Lorillard, was prohibited from taking specified action, including (1) making transfers of its property to any other of those corporations, (2) making any agreements of specified types with any other of those corporations, including agreements relative to the control or management thereof, relative to the price or terms of purchase or sale of tobacco or tobacco products and relative to the apportionment among those corporations of trade or business either as to customers or localities, (3) holding stock in a corporation whose stock is also held by another of those corporations and (4) with stated exceptions, requiring a jobber to buy another brand or brands from such corporation in order to be able to buy a particular brand. Lorillard is a defendant, along with one or more other tobacco manufacturers, in three cases which involve claims that the respective plaintiff or plaintiffs' decedents contracted cancer or other involvement of the lung as a result of the use of tobacco products. Damages which range from $9,999 to $1,208,000 are alleged. None of stich cases has yet been tried. D he Se. 19( he of cor. T_o Cei Ex 22

Certain Transactions Loew's on March 5, 1968, entered into an agreement to direct, supervise and manage the Traymore Hotel, located in Atlantic City, New Jersey, owned by Tisch Hotels, Inc. The Board of Directors of Loew's in authorizing the agreement adopted the recommendation of Laventhol, Krekstein, Horwath & Horwath, independent certified public accountants who were retained by the Board to recommend a fair and reasonable compensation to Loew's for its management services. See "Management-Principal Shareholders" and "Business of Loew's-Hotel Activities and Properties." During the first half of 1966, Mr. Charles B. Benenson, a director of Loew's, who also renders services to the Company as a real estate consultant (see "Management-Remuneration of Directors and Officers"), invited Loew's to participate in the sponsorship of the commercial portion of an Urban Renewal Project planned by the City of White Plains, New York. The project contemplates the redevel- opment by the sponsor of approximately 20 acres of land in downtown White Plains, including the con- struction of approximately 10 office buildings, with parking, promenades, shops and plaza. A subsidiary of Loew's entered into an agreement with Mr. Benenson on October 19, 1966 to form a Limited Partner- ship to be known as Westchester Forum Associates. The subsidiary is the General Partner and Mr. Benenson is a Limited Partner. The funds required by the General Partner will be supplied by Loew's.

The principal amount of any of the Debentures (in amounts of $100 or integral multiples thereof) held by a warrant holder may be applied by him in payment of the purchase price upon the exercise of said warrant. The warrants will expire at the close of business on November 29, 1980. Adjustments to Purchase Price and Nugnber of Shares of Common Stock-The purchase price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable are subject to adjustment in certain events, including the following : payment of dividends or distribution in shares of Common Stock of the Company, subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, issuance of rights or warrants. distribution of evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding any cash dividends out of earnings retained in the business) or subscription rights. No adjustment in the purchase price is required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1 fo in such price. Fractional Warrants and Shares-Loew's is not required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon exercise of warrants. As to any final fraction of a share of Common Stock which any person holding one or more warrant certificates, the rights under which are exercised in the same transaction, Loew's is required to pay a cash adjustment therefor based upon the value of the fraction on the business clay which next precedes the day of exercise. Stock Options Loew's Key Employees' Qualified Stock Option Plan-In September, 1968, Loew's adopted a Key Employees' Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Loew's Plan"), which was approved by the share- holders of the Company on November 26, 1968. The Loew's Plan authorizes the granting of options to purchase a total of 808,905 shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to adjustment in the event of certain changes in the shares of the Company. The shares to be optioned are to be made available from either authorized but iulissued shares or shares issued and reacquired by the Company. Options may be granted under the Loe«'s Plan up to September 27, 1978. The Loew's Plan provides that Key Employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including officers and employees who are directors of the Company, are eligible to receive options. Holders of 5% or more of the shares of Common Stock of the Company and members of the Board of Directors who are not officers or employees of the Company are not eligible. The Loew's Plan is administered by a Stock Option Commit- tee of the Board of Directors appointed by the Board of Directors. The Committee, or in the case of employees who are members of the Committee, the Board of Directors, will determine the employees to whom options will be granted, the number of shares to be optioned to each employee, the dates of the option grants, the option price and certain other terms and conditions governing the option. An option granted under the Loew's Plan will be exercisable after the expiration of such period or the happening of such events as the Committee (or the Board of Directors) may determine. There is no limitation in the Loew's Plan with respect to the number of shares available under the Loew's Plan which may be optioned to any one employee or group of employees. Except for options substituted for Lorillard options, the option price at which shares may be purchased shall be the fair market value of the shares on the date the option is granted. The option price must be paid in full at the time of exercise of an option. Any option granted under the Loew's Plan must expire not later than five years from the date of its grant. Options will not be transferable, except by will or by the laws or descent and distribution. If employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, provision is made in the Loew's Plan for the exercise of an option under certain circumstances within specified periods. Shares subject to an option which expires or is terminated will again be available for option under the Loew's Plan. Adjustments may be made in the number, character and price of shares covered by the options in the event of a corporate reorganization, recapitalization, stock split or stock dividend or other event affecting the shares of Common Stock of the Company. 27

The Board of Directors may alter, suspend or discontinue the Loew's Plan. However, the Board may not, without shareholder approval, increase the number of shares subject to options, or decrease the option price, except as specified in the preceding paragraph. All options to be granted under the Loew's Plan are intended to be "qualified stock options" under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. For the Section to be applicable, each employee, except in the case of death, must hold any stock acquired upon the exercise of an option for three years from the date the stock is transferred to him and must be in the employ of the Company or a subsidiary at all times from the date of the grant of an option until three months prior to its exercise. If the conditions of Section 422 are met, an employee will not realize taxable income upon the exercise of an option ; any difference between the option price and the amount received on a subsequent sale of the stock would be treated as long-term capital gain or loss; and the Company will not be allowed an income tax deduction in connection with the granting or exercise of an opt ion. Except for the options granted in substitution for options to purchase shares of Common Stock of Lorillard, no qualified options have, as of November 29, 1968 been granted under the Loew's Plan. Restricted Stock Option Plan-In October, 1957 Lorillard adopted a Restricted Stock Option Plan (the "1957 Plan") which provided for the granting to key employees of Lorillard, including officers, of restricted stock options (as defined in Section 421 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954) to acquire shares of Common Stock of Lorillard. The 1957 Plan expired by its terms on November 1, 1967 and no further options can be granted thereunder. The 1957 Plan specifies a maxinntm term for options granted thereunder of ten years f: om the date of grant and all outstanding options are fc. a Lerm of ten years. Each outstanding option agreement contains a provision under which the employee agrees to remain in the employ of Lorillard for at least two years. Except under specified circumstances, an employee is not permitted, within two years after the date upon which an option shall have been exercised with respect to any share, to make a sale or other disposition of such share within the meaning of Section 425 (c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended by the Revenue Act of 1964. As of November 15, 1968, 27 key employees, including 11 officers and directors_ of Lorillard held options granted on June 20, 1962 to purchase at $43.50 per share an aggregate of 27,800 shares of Common Stock of Lorillard. Such option price was not less than 95% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time the options were granted. Included in such total were options for a total of 14,300 shares to persons who were directors or officers, including options held by the following : Mr. Bennett 3,000 shares; and Mr. Jordan 1,000 shares. On November 29, 1968, the effective date of the Loew's-Lorillard Merger, options to purchase shares of Common Stock of Loew's were substituted for these options to purchase shares of Common Stock of Lorillard. The number of such substitute options was determined by dividing (a) the product of the market price of the Lorillard Common Stock on November 29, 1968 multiplied by the number of shares of Lorillard Common Stock previously covered by such stock options, by (b) one-third of the market price of the Loew's Common Stock on November 29, 1968 (without giving effect to the three-for-one stock split which became effective on November 27, 1968). Stock Purchase, Option and Incentive Plan-In April, 1963, Lorillard adopted a Stock Purchase, Option and Incentive Plan (the 1963 Plan) under which its Common Stock could be sold through stock purchase or subscription arrangements or through stock options to key employees, including officers, of Lorillard. The stock option provisions under the 1963 Plan are generally similar to those in the 1957 Plan except that, among other things, the option price must be equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. As of November 15, 1968, 41 key employees, including 16 officers and directors, held options under the 1963 Plan to purchase an aggregate of 77,400 shares of Common Stock of Lorillard. Of these, options for 26,200 shares were granted on July 31, 1963 for a period of ten years at the price of $44.75 per share, and options for 51,200 shares were granted on December 1, 1965, 28 I

In each case the option price was not less than 100oJo of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time the option was granted. Included in such options granted in 1963 were options for a total of 14,400 shares to persons who were directors or officers, including options held by the following: Mr. Bennett 3,000 shares; and Mr. Jordan 2,000 shares. Included in such options granted in 1965 were options for a total of 45,600 shares to persons who w ere directors or officers, including options held by the following : Mr. Bennett 7,500 shares ; Mr. Jordan 5,000 shares; Mr. Levathes 5,000 shares; and Mr. Yellen 10,000 shares. On November 29, 1968, the effective date of the Loew's-Lorillard Merger, options to purchase shares of Common Stock of Loew's were substituted for these options to purchase shares of Common Stock of Lorillard. The number of such substitute options was determined by dividing (a) the product of the market price of the Lorillard Common Stock on November 29, 1968 multiplied by the number of shares of Lorillard Common Stock previously covered by such stock options, by (b) one-third of the market price of the Loew's Common Stock on November 29, 1968 (without giving effect to the three-for-one stock split which became effective on November 27, 1968). 1967 Stock O ption Plan-In April 1968, the stockholders of Lorillard approved the 1967 Stock Option Plan (the "1967 Plan") which provides for the granting to key employees of Lorillard, including officers, of qualified stock options or non-qualified stock options to acquire shares of Common Stock of Lorillard. The 1967 Plan specifies a maximum term for options granted thereunder of 10 years from the date of grant. All outstanding qaalified stock options are for a term of 5 years and all outstanding non-qualified stock options are for a terul of 10 years. The option price under the 1967 Plan must be equal to at least 100~f'o of the fair market value of the Common Stock of Lorillard on the date of grant. Each outstanding option agreement contains a provision under which the employee agrees to remain in the employ of Lorillard for at least 2 years or is required to so agree as a condition of the exercise of the option. On November 15, 1968, 41 key employees, including 14 officers and directors held qualified stock options granted on September 20, 1967 to purchase at $49.25 per share an aggregate of 75,500 shares of Common Stock of Lorillard. Included in such total were qualified stock options for a total of 56,000 shares to persons who were directors or officers, including options held by the following: Mr. Bennett, 6,500 shares; Mr. Jordan, 7,500 shares: Mr. Levathes, 6,000 shares and Mr. Yellen, 10,000 shares. In addition, on November 15, 1968, 34 key employees, including 2 officers, held non-qualified stock options granted on September 20, 1967 to purchase at $49.25 per share an aggregate of 14,500 shares of Common Stock of Lorillard. On November 29, 1965. the effective date of the Loew's-Lorillard Merger, options to purchase shares of Common Stock of Loew's were granted pursuant to the Loew's Plan in substitution for these qualified options to purchase shares of Common Stock of Lorillard. The number of such substitute options was determined by dividing (a) the product of the market price of the Lorillard Common Stock on November 29, 1968 multiplied by the number of shares of Lorillard Common Stock previously covered by such stock optic.ns, by (b) one-third of the market price of the Loew's Common Stock on November 29, 1968 (without giving effect to the three-for-one stock split which became effective on November 27, 1968). FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Upon the exercise of the Warrants by payment of the exercise price in cash, no gain or loss will be recognized by the holder thereof, whether or not such holder reports gain from the exchange of his Lorillard Common Stock on the installment method. His tax basis for the shares of Loew's Common Stock acquired upon such exercise will be his tax basis for the Warrants exercised plus the amount of cash paid on the exercise thereof. There is no clear authority as to whether, or to what extent, gain or loss will be recognized by a holder of Warrants who elects to malce payment of all or part of the exercise price thereof by the surrender of an appropriate face amount of Loew's Debentures. lt is possible that no gain or loss would be recognized on such surrender or that capital gain or loss would be recognized to the extent of the 29
Page 32: kgq90e00 Log in for more options!
difference between the holder's tax basis for his Debenture and the face arrLount thereof. It is the opinion of Loew's counsel however, that the appropriate tax treatment to a holder of a Loew's Debenture who surrenders such Debenture on the exercise of any Warrants will be the recognition of capital gain or loss measured by the difference between his tax basis for the Debenture surrendered and the lower of (i) the face amount of such Debenture or (ii) the fair market value of such Debenture on the date of surrender. Counsel for Loew's believes that this treatment will apply whether or not the Debenture holder reports his gain from the exchange of his Lorillard Common Stock on the installment method. His basis for the shares of Loew's Common Stock acquired upon exercise of any warrants will, in the opinion of such counsel, be equal to the sum of: (i) his tax basis for the Debenture surrendered, increased by any gain and decreased by any loss recognized upon such surrender, (ii) his tax basis for the Warrants exercised, and (iii) the amount of any cash paid on the exercise of such Warrants. It is suggested, in view of the absence of clear authority at present, that any Warrant holder who pays a portion of the Warrant exercise price by the surrender of Debentures consult his own tax adviser at the time for advice as to the appropriate tax treatment of the transaction. DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK Full-Paid Character; Preemptive Rights; Rights on Liquidation. All of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at the date hereof are, and all of the shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to exercise of the Warrants and stock options upon issuance thereof will be, fully-paid and non-assessable. Holders of the Common Stock have no preemptive or subscription rights, and are entitled to share ratably in all assets of Loew's available for distribution in the event of liquidation or dissolution. Dividend Rights. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to dividends if and when declared by the Board of Directors. The Board's present policy, subject to availability of funds and other considerations, is to declare quarterly dividends of 10¢ per share on the stock as now constituted without giving effect to the 3 for 1 stock split ,vhich became effective on November 27, 1968; there is no assurance that such policy will be continued. The Indenture pursuant to which the 6%oJo Subordinated Debentures due 1993 are issued, which contains the most restrictive of the Company's funded debt covenants concerning funds available for dividends provides that so long as any of such Debentures remain outstanding Loew's will not pay or declare dividends or distributions on its Common Stock (other than dividends payable in Common Stock) and will not purchase any of its Capital Shares unless the sum of $5,000,000 and net earnings after August 31, 1968, at least equals the sum of such dividends and distributions and purchases ; provided, however, that the amount spent for stock purchases is reduced for this purpose by the amount received from stock sales, the surrender of Debentures to exercise Warrants and certain other credits. Voting Rights: Nosz-Cuircvlative Voting. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held and have the sole right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters requiring shareholders' action. The Common Stock has non-cumulative voting rights. This means that the holders of more than 50 fo of the Common Stock voting for the election of directors can elect 100oJo of the directors if they choose to do so, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining less than 50 fo of the shares voting for the election of directors will not be able to elect any person or persons to the Board of Directors. Miscellaneous. The foregoing summary of the terms of the Common Stock does not purport to be complete or to give full effect to pertinent statutory or common law, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable provisions of the Amended Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws. The outstanding Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and said Exchange has listed, subject to official notice of issuance, the Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of the Warrants and the stock options.

Approximately 19 other insignificant companies were acquired and approximately 12 insignificant com- panies were liquidated during this period. The Company's equity in the net book assets of consolidated subsidiaries at August 31, 1968 exceeded its net investments in and advances to such subsidiaries by $41,729,327 after intercompany eliminations.

LORILLARD MERGER: On November 26, 1968, the Company's shareholders approved proposals (a) to authorize issuance, in exchange for all the outstanding common stock of Lorillard, of approximately $401,305,000 of 6% % Subordinated Debentures due 1993 and Warrants to purchase approximately 6,477,357 shares of the Com- pany's Common Stock, (b) to authorize an increase in the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock from 15,000,000 to 30,000,000 and to split each share three for one, and (c) to establish an em- ployees' qualified stock option plan.

It is the general policy of the companies to provide for depreciation of property, plant, and equipment on the straight-line method over the estimated service lives of individual units or classes of properties. The principal service lives used in computing provisions for depreciation are as follows : Property Years Buildings ................................ 40 Hotel building fixtures ..................... 10 to 40 Hotel equipment ........................... 4 to 12 Theatre and other equipment ................ 10 L.easeholds are amortized over the terms of the related leases (including optional renewal periods "•here appropriate) or the lives of improvements, if less.

LOEW'S THEATRES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized. When a significant operating unit is disposed of in its entirety, the cost and accunullated depre- ciation are removed from the accounts and profit or loss on such disposal is recognized in the accounts at that time. Fully depreciated equipment is eliminated from the asset and depreciation allowance accounts without regard to whether such assets are still in use. Proceeds of equipment sold are generally credited to income. 4. LONG-TERM DEBT : Aggregate maturities of long-term debt at August 31. 1968 were as follows : Due within one year ..................... $ 6,702,871 Maturities during years ending August 31, 1970 ................................ $ 5,324,545 1971 ................................ 5,993,943 1972 ................................ 5,561,354 1973 ................................ 11,247,230 Subsequent maturities through 1998 ... .. .. . 80,951,792 Due after one year ....................... $109,078,864 Interest rates on long-term debt range principally from 5%ofo to 7%ofo per annum.

In accordance with authorization of the Board of Directors, 790,111 shares of common stock held in the Company's treasury were cancelled as of October 31, 1967. The related reductions in earnings retained in the business and in additional paid-in capital have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements. At August 31, 1968 there \ere 16,350 i shares of common stock reserved for issuance on conversion of the Company's 5% o convertible subordinated debentures. 10.

LOEW'S THEATRES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 11. EARNINGS RETAINED IN THE .BUSINESS : Under the terms of one of the Company's loan agreements, approximately $48,000,000 of retained earnings at August 31, 1968 was available for cash dividends. Under the indenture for the 6% % subordinated debentures (see Note 2), the sum of $5,000,000 of retained earnings at August 31, 1968 plus net earnings after August 31, 1968 are available for cash dividends. 12. UNITED STATES INCObiE TAXES : The Company and its includible subsidiaries file consolidated federal income tax returns. Federal income taxes for the Company (separately) have been accrued at corporate rates on the basis of book income before taxes, reduced by the Company's share of benefits arising from the consolidated return. Deferred income taxes charged against consolidated income relate principally to the excess of accel- erated depreciation deducted for tax purposes over normal depreciation provided in the financial state- ments. 13. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS: Because of the decline in market prices of securities during the latter part of the fiscal year ended August 31, 1966, the Company and subsidiaries (consolidated) established as a reserve against the cost of marketable securities the entire net capital gain of $1,990,122 realized during that year. The Company (separately) established a $400,972 reserve against the cost of marketable securities, equivalent to the excess of the cost of its marketable securities over corresponding market prices at August 31, 1966. The unused portions of the reserves for decline in market prices of securities established at August 31, 1966, amounting to $1,862,100 for the Company and subsidiaries (consolidated) and $400,972 for the Company (separately), were reversed to iucome in the year ended August 31, 1967. Costs of securities sold are determined on the identified certificate basis. 14. RETIREhIENT PLAN: The retirement plan provides retirement benefits for eligible employees on a noncontributory basis and also provides for additional benefits on a voluntary contributory basis. Eligibility is restricted to certain employees who have been in the employ of the companies for five years, and normal retirement age is 65. All contributions by the companies anc' voluntary contributions by employees are paid to a corporate trustee for investment and payment of benefits pursuant to the plan. The plan is voluntary and may be discontinued at the option of the companies. As the result of substantial actuarial gains, no provisions for contributions to the employees' retire- ment trust have been made since August 31, 1961. The Kwasha Lipton Company, Consulting Actuaries, report $21,466 as the plan's overfunded actuarial reserve as of February 29, 1968. F-9

Lorillard Company) and subsidiary companies as of December 31, 1967 and the related statement of consolidated earnings for the five full years then ended and statement of consolidated surplus for the three full years then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accord- ingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. In our opinion, the above-mentioned consolidated balance sheet and statements of consolidated earn- ings and consolidated surplus present fairly the financial position of the companies at December 31, 1967 and the results of their operations for the stated years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

PART II LORILLARD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Three Years Ended December 31, 1967 And (Unaudited) The Six Months Ended June 30, 1968 Six Month5 Ended June 30,1968 (U - u na $ 28,872,418 159,151 $ 29,031,569 $155,930,161 14,091,738 170,021,899 171,500 8,409,618 3920,000 01,118 20,781 1. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION, ACQUISITIONS AND GENERAL MATTERS The financial statements include the Company and its subsidiary companies all of which are wholly- owned. The financial statements of the Swiss subsidiary were translated into United States currency at the approximate rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the balance sheet, there having been no material fluctuation in such rate since organization of the subsidiary. At December 31, 1967 and June 30, 1968 the net assets of the subsidiaries exceeded the amount at which the investments are carried on the books of the Company by $16,565,304 and $17,614,880, respectively, which amounts represent undistributed earnings since date of acquisition or organization and have been included in earnings retained for use in the business. On February 24, 1965 and April 5, 1966, respectively, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company acquired the businesses and substantially all the assets and assumed substantially all the liabilities of Usen Canning Co. (Usen) and Reed Candy Company (Reed.). In consideration, the Company issued to Usen 156,250 shares of its common stock (of which 74,056 were unissued shares and 82,194 were treasury shares) and to Reed 74,913 shares of its common treasury stock. These transactions have been accounted for as poolings of interests and, accordingly, in the accompanying financial statements the accounts of Usen and Reed have been combined with those of the Company. The excess of the par value of unissued shares plus the cost of treasury shares issued and the expenses of pooling over the stated value of Usen's capital stock was charged in part ($999,280) to additional paid-in capital and in part ($2,514,461) to retained earnings in the year ended December 31, 1964; the excess of the cost of the treasury shares issued plus expenses of pooling over the stated value of Reed's capital stock has been charged to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings as shown in the accompanying statement of consolidated surplus. On November 8, 1965, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company purchased the business and certain assets of Golden Nugget Sweets, Ltd. Of the total cost, $2,157,421 was allocated to trade-marks and goodwill. On April 9, 1968 P. Lorillard Company (a New Jersey corporation) was merged into Lorillard Corporation (a Delaware corporation), the surviving corporation. As a part of the merger the 98,000 ollt5tanding shares of 7% cumulative preferred stock of P. Lorillard Company were converted into $13,720,000 principal amount of 6%% subordinated debentures due April 1, 1993 of Lorillard Corporation aud each issued share of common stock, par value $5 per share, of P. Lorillard Company was converted into a share of coinmon stock, par value $5 per share, of Lorillard Corporation. The excess of the principal amount of the debentures over the par value of the preferred stock, amounting to $3,920,000, was charged to retained earnings. On September 9, 1968, substantially all the assets of a subsidiary, Federal Tin and Paper Products, Inc., subject to certain liabilities assumed by the buyer, and certain real estate owned by the Company, were sold for $3,000,000, subject to adjustment upon completion of an audit of Federal Tin and Paper Products, Inc. In the opinion of the Company, such sale will have no material effect upon the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company. 2. I N VENTORIES The entire inventory of leaf tobacco has been classified as a current asset in accordance with a generally recognized trade practice although, due to the duration of aging processes, the tobacco on hand includes requirements beyond the period of one year. It is not practicable to determine the amount not realizable within one year. Inventories at the beginning and end of each of the years 1965-1967, inclusive and at June 30, 1968, priced at average cost, were as follows: December 31, 1964, $256,802,654; 1965, $252,458,806; 1966, $241,390,612 ; 1967, $262,208,083 ; and June 30, 1968, $243,835,156. 3. DEPRECIATION It is the policy of the companies to provide for depreciation based on the estimated useful lives and cost of the various classes of property. With the exception of certain equipment (cost at December F-15

LORILLARD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-Continued 31, 1967 and June 30, 1968 approximately $4,900,000), depreciation on which is provided on a unit of production basis, the provisions for depreciation have been computed on the straight-line method at, with minor exceptions, the following annual rates : buildings and building equipment-principal items, 2°fo, other items, 5%; machinery and equipment-principal items, 5ofo, other items, 10% and 2000 ; office tnachinery-10oJo to 25oJo ; automobiles, 25oJo. Upon the retirement or other disposition of property. accumulated depreciation is charged with the amount therein applicable to such property, and profit or .;)ss is taken up in earnings. Maintenance, repairs, and renewals are charged to earnings as incurred. Betterments are capitalized. 4. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES For Federal income tax purposes, alternative methods of computing depreciation are used for certain assets. The Federal tax reduction resulting from the use of such alternative methods has been compensated in the accompanying statement of consolidated earnings by charges for deferred Federal income tax. At December 31, 1967 and June 30, 1968 the accumulated reserves for deferred Federal income tax (arising from the use of alternative methods of computing depreciation for tax purposes for the years 1957-1967 and for the six month period ended June 30, 1968) amounted to $5,018,746 and $5,114,473, respectively. From this amount the prepaid Federal income tax applicable to the reserves for employee benefits has been deducted. leaving net credit balances at December 31, 1967 and June 30, 1968 of $1,225,800 and $1,048,712, respectively, as shown in the consolidated balance sheet. The Federal income tax liabilities of the companies have been settled up to and including 1958. While the liabilities for subsequent years are subject to final determination, the amount provided in the consolidated balance sheet is believed to be adequate to cover any additional assessments which may be made by the Treasury Department. The companies have followed the practice of reducing their provision for Federal income tax by the estimated permanent tax saving resulting from the investment credit, the amounts of which have not been material. 5. LONG-TERM DEBT The sinking fund requirements under the debenture indentures during each of the five years ending June 30, 1973, less debentures held by the Company for sinking fund purposes, are as follows : 1969- $1,265,000; 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1973-$2,625,000. Covenants limiting the payment of dividends on common stock and the purchase, redemption, or retirement of such stock are contained in the debenture indentures. Under the most restrictive of these covenants the amount which could have been expended for the foregoing purposes at December 31, 1967 and June 30, 1968 was limited to approximately $87,000,000 and $78,000,000, respectively. The covenants also prohibit the Company from creating, guaranteeing or assuming any non-subordinated long-term debt if, after giving effect to such additional debt, the excess of consolidated tangible assets over consolidated current liabilities shall be less than 200°fo of consolidated funded debt (as defined). At December 31, 1967 and June 30, 1968 consolidated tangible assets less consolidated current liabilities exceeded 200% of such consolidated funded debt by $164,000,000 and $171,000,000, respectively. 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES At December 31, 1967 and June 30, 1968 outstanding commitments for the purchase of property, plant, and equipment amounted to approximately $3,173,000 and $4,917,000, respectively. At December 31, 1967 and June 30, 1968 the Company was a defendant, along with one or more other tobacco manufacturers, in three cases which involve claims that the respective plaintiff or plaintiffs' decedents contracted cancer or other involven~ent of the Iung as a restut of the use of tobacco product-~. Damages which range from $9,999 to $1,208,000 in such cases are alleged, none of which has yet been trHed. 7. RETIRE The C production employee 1 plans.

PART II LORILLARD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-Continued 7. RETIREMENT PLANS The Company and its subsidiaries have non-contributory retirement plans for eligible salaried and production employees. The companies' policy is to fund the accrued pension cost relating to all salaried employee plans and to maintain reserves for the accrued pension cost relating to production employee plans. Retirement plan costs charged to earnings ($2,332,040 in 1967 and $1,379,703 in the six months ended June 30, 1968) represent as to the funded plans, normal cost plus amortization over 20 years of unfunded prior service cost and as to the unfunded plans, normal cost plus interest on unfunded prior service cost. In prior years, the retirement plan costs of the unfunded plans were based upon the value of benefits for employees becoming eligible to retire during the year; the change to a normal cost plus interest basis did not have a significant effect on net earnings. An independent actuary has estimated that the unfunded past service cost applicable to the retirement plans at December 31, 1967 approximated $10,966,000. 8. INCENTIVE COMPENSATION Incentive compensation for officers and key personnel pa~able under the By-Laws (based on consolidated income, as defined), was as follows : 1965, $1,519,668 ; 1966, $1,884,825 ; 1967, $2,078,496. During the six months ended June 30, 1968 $947,000 was provided for incentive ec _npensation. 9. PROFIT SHARING PLAN The Profit Sharing Plan of the Company, approved by stockholders on April 4, 1967, became effective January 1, 1968. During the six months ended June 30, 1968, $999,000 was provided for the con- tributions (based upon consolidated income, as defined) to be made under such plan. 10.

Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
