Business Hubbell Incorporated (herein referred to as "Hubbell", the "Company" or the "registrant", which references shall include its divisions and subsidiaries as the context may require) was founded as a proprietorship in 1888, and was incorporated in Connecticut in 1905. For over a century, Hubbell has manufactured and sold high quality electrical and electronic products for a broad range of commercial, industrial, telecommunications, and utility applications. Since 1961, Hubbell has expanded its operations into other areas of the electrical industry and related fields. Hubbell products are now manufactured or assembled by seventeen divisions and subsidiaries at twenty-six locations in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, United Kingdom and Singapore. Hubbell also participates in joint ventures with partners in Germany and Taiwan, and maintains sales offices in Malaysia, Indonesia, Germany, Hong Kong, South Korea, and the Middle East. Hubbell is primarily engaged in the engineering, manufacture and sale of electrical and electronic products. These products can be divided into three general segments: products primarily used in low-voltage applications, products primarily used in high-voltage applications and products that either are not directly related to the electrical business, or, if related, cannot be clearly classified on a voltage application basis. Hubbell defines "low-voltage" as being 600 volts and less and "high-voltage" as greater than 600 volts. Reference is made to page 35 for information relative to Industry Segment and Geographic Area Information for 1993, 1992 and 1991. In March, 1993, Hubbell acquired the stock of E. M. Wiegmann & Co., Inc. ("Wiegmann"). Wiegmann, located in Freeburg, Illinois, manufactures and sells a wide range of cabinets, panels, consoles and other enclosures used to mount and protect transformers, industrial controls, wireway ducts and fittings. Additional information relating to the Wiegmann acquisition can be found on page 6 of this document under "Outlet Boxes, Enclosures and Fittings." On January 19, 1994, in reporting its fourth quarter - 1993, and full year - 1993, results, Hubbell announced implementation of a restructuring program which will include the consolidation of all or a portion of ten manufacturing facilities, a reduction in labor force of approximately 6%, the reorganization of certain operation's management structure, and a realignment of warehousing and product distribution capabilities. As noted on page 37, the Company announced on March 16, 1994, that it had entered into an agreement to purchase A. B. Chance Industries, Inc. ("Chance"). Chance, with facilities in Centralia and Mexico, Missouri; Ontario, Canada; and Bristol, England, manufactures products used in the electrical transmission, distribution and telecommunications industries, including electrical apparatus (overhead and underground distribution switches, fuses, contacts, enclosures and sectionalizers); anchors; hardware; insulators (porcelain and polymer); and hot-line tools and other safety equipment. The transaction is subject to completion of certain conditions under the agreement and obtaining of regulatory approvals. PRODUCTS USED IN LOW-VOLTAGE APPLICATIONS Electrical Wiring Devices The Wiring Device Division of Hubbell specializes in the manufacture and sale of highly durable and reliable wiring devices which are supplied principally to industrial and commercial customers. These products, comprising several thousand catalog items, include plugs, receptacles, (including surge 3 Page 3 suppressor units), wall outlets, connectors, adapters, floor boxes and switches (including automatic motion sensing switches). The Wiring Device Division's pin-and-sleeve devices have incorporated improved water and dust-tight construction and impact resistance.

Hubbell also has sales offices in Malaysia, Indonesia, Germany, Hong Kong, Mexico, South Korea and the Middle East. Raw Materials Principal raw materials used in the manufacture of Hubbell products include steel, brass, copper, aluminum, bronze, plastics, phenolics, elastomers and petrochemicals. 8 Page 8 Hubbell also purchases certain electrical and electronic components, including solenoids, lighting ballasts, printed circuit boards, integrated circuit chips and cord sets, from a number of suppliers. Hubbell is not materially dependent upon any one supplier for raw materials used in the manufacture of its products and equipment and, at the present time, raw materials and components essential to its operation are in adequate supply. Patents Hubbell has approximately 450 active United States and foreign patents covering many of its products, which expire at various times. While Hubbell deems these patents to be of value, it does not consider its business to be dependent upon patent protection. Hubbell is licensed under patents owned by others and grants licenses under certain of its patents. Working Capital Hubbell maintains sufficient inventory to enable it to provide a high level of service to its customers. The inventory levels, payment terms and return policies are in accord with the general practices of the electrical products industry and standard business procedures. Backlog Backlog of orders believed to be firm at December 31, 1993 and 1992 were approximately $60,400,000 and $54,700,000, respectively. Most of the backlog is expected to be shipped in the current year. Although this backlog is important, the majority of Hubbell's revenues result from sales of inventoried products or products that have short periods of manufacture. Competition Hubbell experiences substantial competition in all categories of its business, but does not compete with the same companies in all its product categories. The number and size of competitors vary considerably depending on the product line. Hubbell cannot specify with exactitude the number of competitors in each product category or their relative market position. However, some of its competitors are larger companies with substantial financial and other resources. Hubbell considers product performance, reliability, quality and technological innovation as important factors relevant to all areas of its business and considers its reputation as a manufacturer of quality products to be an important factor in its business. In addition, product price and other factors can affect Hubbell's ability to compete. Environment Compliance with Federal, State and local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, is not believed to have any material effect upon the financial position or the competitive position of Hubbell. 9 Page 9 Employees As of December 31, 1993, Hubbell had approximately 5,885 full-time employees, including salaried and hourly personnel. Approximately 1,750 of Hubbell's United States employees are represented by seven labor unions. Hubbell considers its labor relations to be satisfactory. Item 2.

14 Page 14 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Management views liquidity on the basis of the Company's ability to meet operational needs, fund additional investments, including acquisitions, and make dividend payments to shareholders. At December 31, 1993, the Company's financial condition remained strong with working capital of $131.9 million and a current ratio of 1.6 to 1. Cash and temporary cash investments increased by $16.0 million primarily as a result of increased cash generated by operations. Net cash provided by operations increased due to higher sales and profitability after adjusting for the impact of the non-cash restructuring charge recorded in 1993 and a reduction in the level of inventories and receivables. This decline reflects the Company's aggressive management of inventory and receivables while maintaining emphasis on continued improvement in order fill rates and cycle times and overall customer service. The level of net cash used in investing and financing activities in 1993 is more in line with the Company's historic patterns. In 1992 as part of managing its financial investment structure, the Company re-allocated funds from temporary cash investments into longer-term securities with higher investment yields and entered into unsecured short-term borrowings primarily to fund the purchase of Hipotronics, Inc. At December 31, 1993 total borrowings, consisting of notes payable of $91.1 million and long-term debt of $2.7 million, were 16.8% of shareholder equity. Capital expenditures in 1993 increased slightly over 1992 as the Company continued to invest in new machinery and equipment as part of the on-going product development programs, as well as the continued emphasis on improvements in operating efficiencies. Although no significant commitments had been made at December 31, 1993, the Company anticipates that capital expenditures will be between $40.0 million and $50.0 million annually during the next three years reflecting the historic capital investment pattern and the capital investment portion of the planned restructuring program. The Company believes that currently available borrowing facilities, and its ability to increase its credit lines if needed, combined with internally generated funds should be more than sufficient to fund capital expenditures as well as the increased working capital that would be required to accommodate a higher level of business activity. The Company actively seeks to expand by acquisition as well as through the growth of its present businesses. While a significant acquisition may require additional borrowings, the Company believes it would be able to obtain financing based on its favorable historical earnings performance and strong financial position. As noted on page 37, the Company has entered into an agreement to purchase A. B. Chance Industries, Inc. The transaction is subject to completion of certain conditions under the agreement and regulatory approvals. The Company will pay for the acquisition out of internally available funds and additional short term borrowing of up to $40,000,000. 15 Page 15 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 1993 Compared With 1992 Consolidated net sales increased 6% on improved sales through distributors and home centers; continued growth at the Ohio Brass subsidiary; inclusion of Hipotronics Inc. acquired in November 1992 and the E. M. Wiegmann & Co., Inc. acquired in March 1993. These improvements were offset by lower activity at the Pulse Communications subsidiary and foreign operations. In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company recorded a $50,000,000 pretax charge ($31,000,000 net of tax, or $.98 per share) for the estimated costs of a restructuring program. The program includes the consolidation of all or a portion of several manufacturing plants, a reduction in labor force of approximately 6%, the reorganization of certain operations management and structure, and a realignment of warehousing and product distribution capabilities. The restructuring charge is approximately equally divided between personnel costs (severance and postemployment benefits), plant and equipment relocation and costs associated with disposal of plant and equipment. At the end of 1993, $7,250,000 has been expended with an additional $14,000,000 anticipated in 1994 with the balance to be expended approximately equally in 1995 and 1996. After an approximate three year implementation the annual savings and cost avoidance could be as much as $25,000,000. Excluding the impact of the restructuring charge, segment total operating income increased 2% as a large portion of the sales growth was in lower margin products combined with strong price competition during this period of slow economic growth. Additionally, the Company has continued to increase expenditures for product and market development, as well as, customer service enhancements. The Low Voltage Segment sales for the year increased 2% on higher shipments of fluorescent lighting products and improved demand for products in the commercial and industrial markets off-setting weakness in overseas markets. Segment operating income before restructuring charges increased 2% in line with the growth in sales. Sales of the High Voltage Segment increased by more than 23% from the inclusion of Hipotronics, Inc. and higher shipments of insulators and surge arrestors. Sales of power cable were essentially even with last year due to the depressed worldwide market conditions for cable. Segment operating income before the restructuring charge increased 35% on higher sales volume and improved operating rates. Other Industry Segment net sales increased by more than 4% due to the acquisition of E. M. Wiegmann & Co., Inc. in March, 1993, and increased sales of components for wire management, voice and data signals, which off-set the reduced shipments of telecommunication products and equipment. Segment operating income prior to the restructuring charge decreased 10% reflecting the reduced shipment of higher marginal products and increased expenditures for development of the next generation of telecommunication products. General corporate expenses were slightly lower than last year due to continued productivity improvements. Investment income increased 10% on a higher level of funds invested in long-term securities. The higher level of interest expense is due to the utilization of short-term borrowings by the Company. The increase in other expenses reflects the charges for the establishment of a corporate owned life insurance program. The effective tax rate was 19% in 1993, 28% in 1992, and 30% in 1991. The decline in the effective tax rate reflects an increased portion of earnings from Puerto Rico operations and continued emphasis on generating tax-exempt income combined with the tax effect of the restructuring charge recorded in 1993. The recent tax law changes may in future years reduce the tax benefit arising from the Company's Puerto Rico operations. 16 Page 16 1992 Compared With 1991 Consolidated net sales increased by 4% due to the strong sales growth at the Pulsecom and Ohio Brass subsidiaries; moderate increases in other operating units due to the gradual but mixed economic recovery; and inclusion of Bryant Electric, Inc., which was acquired in March 1991 and Hipotronics, Inc., which was acquired in November 1992. These improvements were offset by the continuing soft demand for power cable and the disposal of the Hermetic Refrigeration operation in November 1991. Segment total operating income was essentially even with last year as the modest sales growth was offset by increased expenditures to enhance sales and marketing programs, continued product development programs and strong price competition during this period of slow economic growth. Income before the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principles and the related earnings per share increased 4% due to the higher level of investment income and a lower effective tax rate. The Company recorded a one-time, non-cash charge of $16,506,000 net of tax or $0.52 per share for the cumulative effect on prior years of the change in accounting principles due to the adoption of the Statements of Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 106 - Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions, No. 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes and No. 112 - Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits. Net income, as adjusted for these changes was $77,584,000 or $2.45 per share. Based on the restructuring of benefit programs which began in 1989, the impact on the Company's financial position was not significant (3% of shareholder's equity) and the required on-going annual expense will not have a material effect on operating results. Low Voltage Segment sales for the year increased by 2% on a higher level of shipments of industrial wiring devices and fluorescent lighting products combined with the inclusion of Bryant Electric for the full year. This improvement was offset by highly competitive market conditions and the disposal of the Hermetic Refrigeration operations in November 1991. Operating income increased by 1% reflecting the increased sales, especially of lower margin lighting products, and market introduction costs for new products which were approximately offset by the effect of the acquisition of Bryant Electric and disposal of Hermetic Refrigeration. Sales of High Voltage products were 3% lower than last year due to the depressed worldwide market for power cable products which negated the higher sales of insulators and surge arresters and inclusion of Hipotronics, Inc. Operating income was more than 20% below 1991 due to the impact from the cable operation of maintaining marketing programs and reduced manufacturing volumes. Inflation In times of inflationary cost increases, the Company has historically been able to maintain its profitability by improvements in operating methods and cost recovery through price increases. In large measure the reported operating results have absorbed the effects of inflation since the Company's predominant use of the LIFO method of inventory accounting generally has the effect of charging operating results with costs (except for depreciation) that contain current price levels. 17 Page 17 Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Hubbell Incorporated In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index on page 44 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hubbell Incorporated and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

See notes to consolidated financial statements 23 Page 23 Hubbell Incorporated and Subsidiaries STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries; all significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications, which were not significant, have been made in prior period financial statements to conform to the 1993 presentation. Foreign Currency Translation The assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year, and income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the year. The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on the translated amounts of foreign currency assets and liabilities are included as translation adjustments in shareholders' equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in income of the period. Cash and Temporary Cash Investments Temporary cash investments consist of liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. The carrying value of cash and temporary cash investments approximates fair value because of their short maturities. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of substantially all domestic inventories, 82% of total inventory value, is determined on the basis of the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of inventory accounting. The cost of foreign inventories and certain domestic inventories is determined on the basis of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory accounting. Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, principally using accelerated methods. Purchase Price in Excess of Net Assets of Companies Acquired The cost of companies acquired in excess of the amount assigned to net assets is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 40 year period. Deferred Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequence of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities by applying the currently enacted statutory tax rates. The effect of a change in statutory tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Federal income taxes have not been provided on the undistributed earnings of the Company's international subsidiaries as the Company has reinvested all of these earnings indefinitely. 24 Page 24 Retirement Benefits The Company's policy is to fund pension costs within the ranges prescribed by applicable regulations. In addition to providing pension benefits, in some circumstances the Company provides health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. The Company's policy is to fund these benefits through insurance premiums or as actual expenditures are made. Earnings Per Share Earnings per share is based on reported income and the weighted average number of shares of common stock and equivalents outstanding. Change in Accounting Principles In 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106 - Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, No. 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes and No. 112 - Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits. As part of adopting the new accounting standards as of January 1, 1992, a one-time non-cash charge of $16,506,000 net of tax or $0.52 per share was recorded. Also deferred taxes were recorded for business acquisitions completed before January 1, 1992 which increased the previously allocated purchased adjustments to inventories, property, plant and equipment. The impact of these accounting changes on 1992 financial results were not significant. 25 Page 25 Hubbell Incorporated and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Restructuring Charge In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company recorded a $50,000,000 pretax charge ($31,000,000 net of tax benefits, or $.98 per share) for the estimated costs of a restructuring program. The program entails the consolidation of manufacturing facilities, reduction in labor force and a realignment of warehousing and distribution activities. The restructuring charge is approximately equally divided between personnel costs (severance and postemployment benefits), plant and equipment relocation, and costs associated with disposal of plant and equipment. At December 31, 1993, the restructuring accrual was $42,750,000 of which $14,000,000 is classified as a current liability. Acquisitions In March 1993, the E. M. Wiegmann & Co., Inc. was acquired. Wiegmann fabricates a wide range of cabinets, panels, consoles and other enclosures used to mount and protect transformers, industrial controls, and wireway duct and fittings. The total cost of the acquired business has been allocated on a preliminary basis to current assets, property, plant and equipment, goodwill, and other liabilities pending final appraisal. In November 1992, Hipotronics, Inc., was acquired. Hipotronics, Inc. manufactures high voltage test equipment which is sold to electric utility and industrial companies in the United States and abroad. In March 1991, the net assets and business of the Bryant Electric Division (Bryant Electric) of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation were acquired. Bryant Electric manufactures a line of high quality wiring devices including plugs, connectors, receptacles, switches, lamp holders and wall plates. In October 1991, the net assets and business of the Lexington Switch and Controls Division, a manufacturer of transfer switches and fire pump controls, were acquired from the Paulworth Corporation. The acquisitions in 1993, 1992 and 1991 were for cash and were recorded under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations for the acquired businesses have been included in the consolidated statement of income only from their respective acquisition dates. If the businesses had been acquired on the first day of 1991, unaudited consolidated net sales would have been $836,902,000 in 1993, $822,832,000 in 1992, $808,159,000 in 1991, and there would have been no material effect on reported earnings for the respective years. 26 Page 26 Investments Investments consist primarily of mortgage-backed securities and marketable securities. Marketable equity securities are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market. Other investments are carried at cost with the purchase premium or discount amortized over the estimated life of the security. Certain portfolio securities that may be affected by changes in interest rates are hedged with futures contracts for U.S. Treasury notes and bonds (at December 31, 1993, future contracts totaled $7,500,000).

As discussed in the Change in Accounting Principles note, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109 as of the beginning of the year 1992. The deferred tax provision for 1991 was determined under prior accounting principles in effect at that time and has not been restated for adoption of SFAS No. 109. The components of the net deferred tax (asset) liability at December 31, (in thousands) were as follows:
1993 1992 ---- ---- Deferred tax assets: Inventory $ 3,778 $ 3,566 Pensions 7,970 7,094 Postretirement and postemployment benefits 10,549 10,707 Accrued restructuring charge 16,245 --- Accrued liabilities 21,996 20,939 Miscellaneous other 6,888 3,407 ---------- --------- Total deferred tax asset 67,426 45,713 ---------- --------- Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant, and equipment 18,360 18,755 Leasing subsidiary 20,096 20,782 LIFO inventories of acquired businesses 10,830 10,564 Miscellaneous other 6,837 5,490 ---------- --------- Total deferred tax liability 56,123 55,591 ---------- --------- Net deferred tax (asset) liability $(11,303) $ 9,878 ========== =========
Deferred taxes are classified in the financial statements as a net short-term deferred tax asset of $15,875,000 and a net long-term deferred tax liability of $4,572,000. At December 31, 1993, United States income taxes had not been provided on approximately $15,600,000 of undistributed international earnings. Payments of income taxes were $33,106,000 in 1993, $32,819,000 in 1992 and $34,200,000 in 1991. 29 Page 29 Income Taxes (continued) The consolidated effective income tax rates varied from the United States federal statutory income tax rate for the years ended December 31, as follows:
1993 1992 1991 ---- ---- ---- Federal statutory income tax rate 35.0% 34.0% 34.0% State income taxes, net of federal benefit 2.6 3.0 3.0 Partially tax-exempt income (5.7) (2.8) (2.3) Non-taxable income from Puerto Rico operations (11.1) (6.3) (6.2) Other, net (2.2) 0.1 1.5 ------ ------ ------ Consolidated effective income tax rate 18.6% 28.0% 30.0% ====== ====== ======
The decline in the consolidated effective income tax rate to 18.6% in 1993 is a result of the decline in pre-tax income following the charge for restructuring. The dollar amount of all items in the table above which reconcile the statutory rate to the effective rate remained at relatively consistent levels for all three years. 30 Page 30 Other Non-Current Liabilities Other Non-Current Liabilities consists of the following at December 31, (in thousands):

Pension Benefits The Company and its subsidiaries have a number of non-contributory defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans covering substantially all employees. The pension plans provide pension benefits that are based on a combination of years of service and either compensation levels or specified dollar amounts. The following table sets forth the components of pension cost for the years ended December 31, (in thousands):
1993 1992 1991 ---- ---- ---- Benefits earned $ 6,704 $ 6,126 $ 5,290 Increase in present value of benefits earned in prior years 10,706 9,798 8,973 Actual return on plan assets (15,312) (10,576) (21,720) Deferred gain or (loss) 4,560 792 12,488 Amortization of actuarial gains and losses and prior service cost (294) 64 (991) --------- --------- --------- Net Pension Cost $ 6,364 $ 6,204 $ 4,000 ========= ========= ========= ASSUMPTIONS USED IN DETERMINING PENSION COST: Discount rate 8.0% 8.0% 8.5% Long term rate of compensation increase 6.5% 6.5% 6.5% Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets 9.0% 9.0% 9.5%

The projected benefit obligations were determined using discount rates of 7.5% in 1993 and 8.0% in 1992 and assumed average long-term rate of compensation increase of 5% in 1993 and 6.5% in 1992. At December 31, 1993, approximately $70,800,000 of plan assets were invested in common stocks, including Hubbell Incorporated common stock with a market value of $8,600,000. The balance of plan assets are invested in short term money market accounts, government and corporate bonds. Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions The Company and its subsidiaries have a number of health care and life insurance benefit plans covering eligible employees who reached retirement age while working for the Company, providing they retired prior to 1992. These benefits were discontinued in 1991 for substantially all future retirees. For retirees prior to 1992, some of the plans provide for retiree contributions, which are periodically increased. The plans anticipate future cost-sharing changes that are consistent with the Company's past practices. The plans are funded either on a monthly premium basis or as benefits become due. At December 31, 1993, the recorded liability for providing these postretirement benefits was based on a 7% discount rate and assumed health care cost trend rate of 20.0% declining to 5.5% over fifteen years. The costs recognized for providing these benefits in 1993, 1992, and 1991 were $1,300,000, $1,400,000, and $1,800,000 respectively. The costs for 1993 and 1992 were primarily interest while 1991 was determined under prior accounting pronouncements in effect at that time and have not been restated for the adoption of SFAS No. 106. 32 Page 32 Debt The following table sets forth the components of the Company's debt structure at December 31, (in thousands):
1993 1992 ------- ------- Notes Payable Term Loan $ 75,000 $ 60,000 Revolving Credit 16,100 13,800 -------- -------- Total $ 91,100 $ 73,800 ======== ======== Long Term Debt Industrial Development Bonds, due 2001, interest rate 11 1/4% $ 2,700 $ 2,700 ======== ========
The term loan is due on November 25, 1994 and has a variable rate based on LIBOR plus 0.25% which equalled 3.50% at December 31, 1993. The revolving credit loan agreement matures on November 19, 1994 and may be extended based on approval of the bank. The maximum amount available under the agreement is $25,000,000 and carries a daily interest rate based on the bank's overnight rate which was 3.46% at December 31, 1993. A fee of 0.1% is due on the average daily unused portion of the credit agreement. Payments of interest and fees were $3,280,000 in 1993. As part of the borrowing agreements, the Company is required to maintain a minimum shareholder equity of $400,000,000 and can not have total debt of more than $250,000,000. The Company is in compliance with the terms and conditions under the borrowing agreements. Leases Total rental expense under operating leases was $5,600,000 in 1993, $6,600,000 in 1992 and $6,800,000 in 1991. The minimum annual rentals on non-cancelable, long-term, operating leases in effect at December 31, 1993 will approximate $1,500,000 in 1994, $1,200,000 in 1995, and will decline thereafter. Research, Development and Engineering Expenses for new product development and ongoing improvement of existing products were $15,400,000 in 1993, $13,800,000 in 1992, and $8,500,000 in 1991. Expenses in 1993 included an increase in expenditures for the development of the next generation of telecommunication products. Concentration of Credit Risks Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risks consist of trade receivables and temporary cash investments. The Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business to its customers. Due to the diversity of its product segments, the Company has a diverse customer base including electrical distributors and wholesalers, electric utilities, equipment manufacturers, electrical contractors, retail and hardware outlets. As part of its ongoing procedures, the Company monitors the credit worthiness of its customers. Bad debt write-offs have historically been minimal. The Company places its temporary cash investments with financial institutions and limits the amount of exposure to any one institution. 33 Page 33 Capital Stock Share activity in the Company's preferred and common stocks is set forth below for the three years ended December 31, 1993:

                                   ARTICLE I

                                    PURPOSE

         1.1  The purpose of this Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan") is
to provide incentive compensation to executive and administrative employees of
Hubbell Incorporated (the "Company") and its subsidiaries who have contributed
effectively to the success of the Company by their ability, industry, loyalty
or exceptional services and to encourage continuance of their services with the
Company by a form of recognition of their efforts in contributing significantly
to the success and growth of the Company in the preceding fiscal year.

         1.2  The persons eligible to participate in the Plan shall be those
employees who are primarily responsible in an administrative or executive
capacity for the direction of the functions and operations of the divisions and
departments within the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.


                                   ARTICLE II

                                 ADMINISTRATION

         2.1  The Board of Directors shall appoint in each year from among
their number at least three directors, none of whom shall be an employee of the
Company, to be known as the Bonus and Salary Committee (the "Committee"), to
serve at the pleasure of the Board.  Vacancies in the Committee shall be filled
by the Board.

         2.2  The Committee shall administer the Plan in a nondiscriminatory
manner under such rules, regulations and criteria as it shall prescribe.  It
shall designate a member thereof as secretary to keep minutes and records of
its proceedings.  It shall report its doings to the Board of Directors.  Its
decisions in the administration and interpretation of the Plan shall be final
as to all interested parties and shall be and constitute acts of the Company.

         2.3  The Committee shall from time to time designate the employees
eligible for participation in the Plan.  The persons so designated by the
Committee are hereinafter called "participants".  In making such designations
the Committee shall give consideration to the recommendations and criticisms of
the executive officers of the Company.





                                     - 1 -

         2.4  The Committee in its discretion shall determine after the close
of each fiscal year the amount, if any, of the incentive payment to be awarded
for such fiscal year to each participant.  In determining the amount thereof
the Committee shall consider the responsibility and position of the participant
during such fiscal year, the accomplishments of the division or department
under his direction during such fiscal year, the amount of his annual salary
during such fiscal year and such other factors as the Committee  deems
pertinent.  The amount of incentive payment to any participant shall not be
greater than the annual salary paid to him during such fiscal year.  The total
of the incentive payments awarded by the Committee with respect to each fiscal
year shall not exceed the total amount of the incentive compensation fund as
determined under Article III.


                                  ARTICLE III

                                  COMPUTATION
                         OF INCENTIVE COMPENSATION FUND

         3.1  Incentive payments under the Plan shall be made out of the
incentive compensation fund.  The amount of the incentive compensation fund

amend, suspend or terminate, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions
