ITEM 1. BUSINESS -----------------
PIMCO Advisors L.P. (the "Partnership" or "PA"), formerly known as Thomson Advisory Group L.P., is one of the nation's largest publicly traded investment management firms, with as of December 31, 1994, approximately $72.2 billion of assets under management. The Partnership offers a broad range of investment management services and styles to institutional and retail investors, combining the substantial fixed income-oriented institutional investment management operations of Pacific Investment Management Company and four smaller affiliated domestic and international equity investment management firms with the equity-oriented investment management and retail mutual fund operations of Thomson Advisory Group L.P., including the operations of its former Columbus Circle Investors division. The Partnership provides investment management services (i) to large institutional clients through separate accounts, (ii) to medium and smaller-sized institutional clients through the PIMCO Advisors Institutional Funds (formerly known as the PFAMCo Funds) and the PIMCO Funds and (iii) to retail investors through the PIMCO Advisors Funds (formerly known as the Thomson Fund Group), which are sold principally through the broker-dealer community.
The Partnership's strategy is to pursue growth by capitalizing on the investment management expertise, performance record and reputation of its six institutional investment management firms (the "Investment Management Firms") by (i) continuing to provide quality investment performance and service to institutional clients through separate account and pooled fund management of assets, (ii) offering an expanded family of retail mutual funds utilizing the proprietary portfolio management techniques developed for the Partnership's institutional clients by the Investment Management Firms and (iii) marketing its family of institutional mutual funds to the defined contribution pension market, principally 401(k) plans. The Investment Management Firms are five Delaware partnerships: Pacific Investment Management Company ("PIMCO"), Columbus Circle Investors ("CCI"), Cadence Capital Management ("Cadence"), NFJ Investment Group ("NFJ") and Parametric Portfolio Associates ("Parametric"); and one United Kingdom limited partnership, Blairlogie Capital Management ("Blairlogie").
The Partnership's six Investment Management Firms are structured as separate and largely autonomous subpartnerships. The Partnership believes this decentralized structure enables the Investment Management Firms to implement their own distinct investment strategies and philosophies, providing financial and other incentives for the managers of each of the firms to render superior performance and client service. The Managing Directors of the Investment Management Firms have a significant profits interest in their respective Investment Management Firms, as well as substantial economic interests in the Partnership. These economic interests relate primarily to Class B Units, distributions on which currently are subordinated to the annual $1.88 per Unit priority distribution on the Class A Units as described below.
RECENT EVENTS -------------
The scope of the Partnership's business and the ownership of the Partnership changed significantly in 1994 as a result of the consolidation (the "Consolidation") of the business of Thomson Advisory Group L.P. with certain of the investment advisory businesses of Pacific Financial Asset Management Corporation ("PFAMCo"), an indirect subsidiary of Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Mutual"), in November 1994 and a concurrent public offering (the "Offering").
Prior to the Consolidation, the Partnership conducted its investment advisory business under the name of Thomson Advisory Group L.P. and its affiliate, Thomson Investor Services Inc., now named PIMCO Advisors Distribution Company ("PADCo" or the "Distributor"), served as the distributor for the Partnership's mutual funds. On November 15, 1994, these businesses were combined with the investment management and related businesses of PFAMCo. Subsequent to the Consolidation, PIMCO Partners, G.P., a newly-organized California general partnership ("PIMCO GP"), was admitted as the general partner of the Partnership and the prior general partner, Thomson Advisory Group Inc. ("TAG Inc.") withdrew. PIMCO GP has two general partners: (i) PIMCO Partners, LLC ("PPLLC"), a newly-formed California limited liability company, all of the interests of which are held directly by the Managing Directors of PIMCO and (ii) Pacific Investment Management Company, a California corporation ("PIMCO Inc."), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Mutual. In connection with the Consolidation:
. the Partnership declared a 106% Unit distribution effective October 9, 1994, payable to holders of its then outstanding limited and general partner Units;
. the Partnership adopted the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement (the "Partnership Agreement") providing, among other things, for (i) the establishment of two classes of limited partner interest, Class A Units and Class B Units, (ii) the reclassification of 8,798,764 outstanding limited partner units held by public Unitholders as Class A Units, (iii) the conversion of the 412,000 General Partner Units ("GP Units") and 11,389,180 LP Units held by TAG Inc. prior to the Consolidation into 800,000 GP Units, 5,100,590 Class A Units and 8,260,826 Class B Units, (iv) a new management structure vesting Partnership management authority in the Operating Board, its Operating Committee and the Equity Board and (v) the grant of discretionary powers to the general partner to restructure (the "Restructuring") the Partnership in anticipation of taxation of the Partnership as a corporation, expected to occur no later than January 1, 1998;
. PIMCO Inc. (through PIMCO GP) transferred the PIMCO investment advisory business to the Partnership, and PIMCO Inc. and PPLLC contributed cash in the amount necessary for such assets to meet a minimum net worth requirement, in exchange for the issuance to PIMCO GP and its partners, PIMCO Inc. and PPLLC, of an aggregate of 21,875,000 Class A Units and 21,875,000 Class B Units.
. PFAMCo contributed its businesses and the businesses of Cadence, Parametric, NFJ and Blairlogie to the Partnership in exchange for the issuance to PFAMCo, certain of its subsidiaries and certain newly formed limited partnerships owned by those subsidiaries and the Managing Directors of Cadence, NFJ and Parametric of an aggregate of 2,700,000 Class A Units and 2,700,000 Class B Units;
. 5,297,000 options to purchase Class B Units were issued pursuant to the 1994 Option Plan as hereinafter described, and amendments were made to existing options for 2,442,130 Class A Units granted under the Partnership's 1993 Option Plan;
. PIMCO GP borrowed approximately $130 million, approximately $119.3 million of which was loaned and contributed by PIMCO GP to TAG Inc., primarily to finance TAG Inc.'s purchase of approximately 61% of its outstanding common stock for approximately $116.3 million, and approximately $8.7 million of which was used by PIMCO GP to purchase approximately 5% of TAG Inc.'s outstanding common stock;
. TAG Inc. transferred the ownership of PADCo to the Partnership in exchange for 218,801 Class A Units of limited partner interest; and
. concurrently with such stock purchases, the remaining 34% of the outstanding common stock of TAG Inc. was exchanged by its holders for an aggregate of 2,028,386 shares of non-voting Series A Preferred Stock of TAG Inc. and 2,839,742 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of TAG Inc. Until the earlier of December 31, 1997 or a Restructuring, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to one vote per share and vote as a single class with the holders of the outstanding shares of common stock of TAG Inc. (approximately 2,145 shares) on all matters, including the election of directors, except amendments to the charter which would adversely affect the Series B Preferred Stock. As a result of the voting rights of the Series B Preferred Stock, PIMCO GP will not have control over TAG Inc. until the earlier of December 31, 1997 or a Restructuring, when the Series B Preferred Stock will become non-voting (except under limited circumstances).
Subsequent to the Consolidation, when PIMCO GP was admitted as general partner of the Partnership and TAG Inc. withdrew as general partner, the 800,000 of the Class A Units held by PIMCO GP were reclassified as GP Units and the 800,000 GP Units held by TAG Inc. were reclassified as Class A Units.
In the Offering in November 1994, the Partnership sold 1,200,000 Class A Units and certain selling Unitholders sold an aggregate of 3,400,000 Class A Units. At the closing of the Offering, the holders of approximately 1.17 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock of TAG Inc. exchanged those shares with PIMCO Inc. pursuant to a contractual exchange arrangement for approximately 1.09 million Class A Units, which were included among the Class A Units sold by selling Unitholders in the Offering.

A principal component of the Partnership's marketing strategy is the historical performance of its investment management activities relative to selected benchmarks over long periods of time. For example, PIMCO stresses its record in equaling or exceeding client-selected performance benchmarks over a long period through a measured risk taking approach that emphasizes preservation of capital. Over the last 10 years, PIMCO's Total Return composite (of full discretion accounts), representing approximately 56% of PIMCO's total assets under management at December 31, 1994, outperformed the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index by approximately 120 basis points (11.2% compared to 10.0%) annually on a compound basis after adjusting for the fees paid to PIMCO. Similarly, CCI uses in its marketing the record of the PIMCO Advisors Growth Fund, which has been the twentieth ranked growth stock mutual fund within a universe of 132 such funds over the last ten years by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., and the PIMCO Advisors Opportunity Fund, which has been the first ranked growth fund within a universe of 46 such funds over the last ten years by the same source.
PRIMARY MARKETS AND STRATEGY FOR GROWTH
The two primary markets for the investment management services offered by the Partnership's Investment Management Firms are the institutional market and the retail mutual fund market. Several of the Investment Management Firms also accept individually managed private accounts over a certain threshold size for high net worth individuals.
INSTITUTIONS. The institutional market for investment management services includes corporate, government and labor union pension plans, charitable endowments and foundations, and corporations purchasing investment management services for their own account. Each of the Investment Management Firms serves the institutional market and conducts its own institutional marketing activities through client service representatives as well as through direct marketing contact by investment principals. In general, the Investment Management Firms' marketing approach targets Fortune 1,000 companies and other large institutional investors primarily through independent consultants who analyze the performance of investment advisors. The Investment Management Firms seek to develop client relationships through investment management performance and focused and responsive client service. Their business strategies also involve increasing assets under management for non-U.S. clients, expanding the array of fixed income and equity products offered to clients, seeking to expand market share with medium and smaller institutional investors by offering pooled investment vehicles such as the PIMCO Funds and the PIMCO Advisors Institutional Funds, and otherwise seeking to diversify and expand their businesses by asset class, method of delivery and markets.
The Partnership's business strategy divides the institutional market into two primary segments: defined benefit pension plan accounts and defined contribution pension plan accounts.
Defined Benefit. The defined benefit market is composed primarily of corporate, government and labor union pension plans. The defined benefit market has grown substantially in recent years.
The Partnership serves the defined benefit market primarily through separate accounts and its institutional mutual funds. The PIMCO Funds and the PIMCO Advisors Institutional Funds provide medium and smaller sized institutional investors in this market access to the Investment Management Firms' expertise.
Defined Contribution. The defined contribution market has also grown rapidly in recent years, primarily as a result of 401(k) plans. According to Bernstein Research's The Future of Money Management in America 1994 Edition, defined contribution plans now constitute a larger market than defined benefit plans in terms of the number of plan participants, with approximately 12 million people becoming defined contribution plan participants since 1983.
The Partnership believes that the combination of Investment Management Firms resulting from the Consolidation provides a potentially significant source of growth for the Partnership in providing services to the defined contribution plan market. The Partnership offers the PIMCO Advisors Institutional Funds, which allow 401(k) plan sponsors and institutional investors to choose from a broad array of equity and fixed income investment funds managed by one or more of the Partnership's six Investment Management Firms. In addition, the Partnership plans to "bundle" its investment services with a full range of plan administrative and supplementary services offered by third parties, including record keeping capabilities and relationships with custodians, thereby offering plan sponsors a fully integrated product.
Other. The Partnership also serves other institutional investors, consisting primarily of endowments and foundations.
RETAIL MUTUAL FUNDS. Like the institutional market for investment management services, the mutual fund market has expanded rapidly in recent years.
The mutual fund industry is highly competitive and is characterized by a high degree of fragmentation and a large and rapidly increasing number of product offerings. The mutual fund industry has become a consumer product business where marketing strategies, product development, business development, sales expertise and servicing are increasingly important. The traditional channel for the distribution of mutual funds (other than money market funds) is through brokerage firms that are not affiliated with the funds' sponsor organization and that are compensated primarily through front-end sales loads deducted from the purchaser's investment at the time of the sale. More recently, a number of other distribution arrangements and channels have become important. These include "no-load" or "low-load" funds, sold primarily through direct marketing efforts or captive sales forces affiliated with the sponsor organization; "private label" and "proprietary" funds managed by and offered primarily through, or to customers of, a financial organization such as a brokerage firm, insurance company or bank; and "back-end load" or "level load" funds offered through brokerage and other third-party channels, but with compensation to the selling brokers being funded through commission advances from the funds' sponsor which are recovered through ongoing charges against fund assets assessed under Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act, contingent deferred sales charges assessed against shareholders at the time they redeem their investments, or a combination of such sources.
The Partnership's retail strategy centers on the PIMCO Advisors Funds, a family of 13 predominantly equity-based retail mutual funds. The addition of PIMCO and four other Investment Management Firms in the Consolidation is expected to enable the Partnership to develop new products to offer to the retail investor. In particular, the Partnership's new fixed income expertise provides the opportunity to expand the breadth of its mutual funds beyond their recent historical emphasis on equities. In addition, the Partnership sells the PIMCO Funds through aggregators such as Charles S. Schwab and Jack White to retail clients.
The Partnership's strategy is to build a "brand name" awareness of the fund group both at the broker-dealer level and the retail investor level, creating a valuable, long-term franchise. Leveraging off the depth and expertise of the six Investment Management Firms, the Partnership is currently developing new funds to fill gaps in its product line in terms of investment objectives and styles. After the Consolidation, PIMCO Advisors Funds commenced offering two new funds: (i) total return fixed income managed by PIMCO and (ii) innovation/technology equity managed by CCI. Possible new PIMCO Advisors Fund offerings also under consideration include funds based on (i) value equity managed by NFJ, (ii) global fixed income managed by PIMCO, (iii) emerging markets equity managed by Blairlogie and (iv) "growth at a reasonable price" (GARP) equity managed by Cadence. In addition, through its increased capabilities, the Partnership also intends to upgrade its 401(k) products for smaller plans, offer a family of variable annuity products, and ultimately develop a series of "lifestyle portfolios" that would invest in a combination of existing PIMCO Advisors Funds.
The Partnership currently distributes its retail mutual funds on a "front-end" and "level load" basis. The Partnership is considering the introduction of "back-end load" shares for the PIMCO Advisors Funds and is contemplating a variety of financing opportunities in connection therewith.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FIRMS
PACIFIC INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT COMPANY (PIMCO)
General. Pacific Investment Management Company had aggregate assets under management at December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 of $56.9 billion and $53.0 billion, respectively, of which 91.7% and 91.8%, respectively, consisted of fixed income accounts and 8.3% and 8.2%, respectively, consisted of equity- related accounts. PIMCO's clients principally include large and medium-sized corporate pension and profit sharing plans, public pension plans, multi-employer (Taft-Hartley) pension plans and foundations and endowment funds. Its client list includes many of the nation's largest pension funds, foundations and endowments and other institutional investors; in this regard, an independent survey recently indicated that 28% of the nation's 200 largest pension funds are PIMCO clients.
Investment Strategy. PIMCO believes that its strength in the management of fixed income assets is derived from its investment philosophy, which stresses active management, measured risk-taking and the application of strong analytical capabilities across all fixed income market sectors. Under PIMCO's investment philosophy, longer term macro-economic trends (rather than short-term market movements) determine portfolio strategy and moderate portfolio duration ranges are favored to reduce volatility in return relative to client- specified benchmarks. PIMCO's investment strategy process begins with a "top- down" approach utilizing an intensive review of long-term and cyclical trends to anticipate interest rates, volatility, yield curve shape and credit trends. These forecasts become the basis for the major portfolio strategies. PIMCO then uses a "bottom up" process to select specific portfolio investments.
In managing fixed income investment advisory accounts, PIMCO uses investment grade and below-investment grade securities, as well as derivatives (which use dates back to 1980) in seeking to manage portfolio risk and exploit market inefficiencies. PIMCO's use of derivatives has generally been confined to futures, options and mainstream mortgage derivatives (such as collateralized mortgage obligations, or CMOs); however, PIMCO at times has also held positions in client portfolios in interest-only and principal-only strips (IOs and POs) and, in special situations, structured notes and swaps. Although certain of these derivative securities can have higher degrees of interest rate risk, illiquidity and counterparty credit risk, PIMCO approaches derivatives much as it does other complex fixed income instruments-as potential investments to be analyzed, monitored and used when appropriate to enhance a portfolio's return or manage its risk. PIMCO has developed and employs, in the case of derivatives as well as other securities, various risk controls at the portfolio and individual security levels in an effort to evaluate and monitor interest rate, liquidity and credit quality risk. PIMCO believes its use of derivatives has contributed positively to portfolio returns and PIMCO has not suffered any material claims or made any material payments to clients related to its use of derivatives.
PIMCO relies on internally developed, proprietary computer software programs in managing its clients' assets rather than using analytical models purchased from outside sources. PIMCO believes that its proprietary computer technology provides it with an important competitive advantage.
PIMCO has sought to expand its client base beyond the traditional defined benefit pension market, and has increased its presence in the defined contribution pension market with $3.3 billion of such assets under management at December 31, 1994. PIMCO's strategy also involves focusing on "aggregators" of retail assets such as unaffiliated sponsors of mutual funds and other registered investment advisors (including fee-based financial planners) who recommend the use of "no-load" mutual funds such as the PIMCO Funds to their clients. In addition, PIMCO seeks to increase both institutional and retail assets under management for non-U.S. investors, for which it does not currently have a well- established presence.
Investment Products. PIMCO offers a range of investment services for both fixed income and equity assets.
Fixed Income Portfolios. PIMCO offers a variety of strategies for ----------------------- clients with fixed income portfolios, with the adoption of a particular strategy reflecting the particular client's investment objective.
. Total Return Portfolios--PIMCO structures total return portfolios with the objective of realizing maximum total return, consistent with the preservation of capital and prudent investment management across the spectrum of fixed income securities. This strategy generally results in a portfolio duration of three to six years. The total return strategy is PIMCO's flagship investment management service; portfolios utilizing this strategy represented approximately 60% of PIMCO's total assets under management at December 31, 1994.
. Low Duration Portfolios--PIMCO has actively managed low duration accounts since 1979. The objectives in the low duration portfolios are to preserve principal through investment in low- volatility instruments, while seeking to achieve superior risk- adjusted returns.
. Other Duration Specific or Sector Specific Portfolios-PIMCO also offers clients active management of portfolios based upon specific duration targets (e.g., long duration portfolios or Guaranteed Investment Contract alternative products which are designed to mimic Guaranteed Investment Contracts) or sector emphases (e.g., international, high-yield, or mortgages).
Equity Portfolios. PIMCO offers two equity strategies, StocksPLUS(R) ----------------- and a growth style portfolio. StocksPLUS(R) represents a proprietary technique developed by PIMCO that combines the active management of stock index futures (to provide a proxy for equity market returns) with active management of a short-term fixed income portfolio using much of the same technology as is used by PIMCO in its fixed income portfolios. PIMCO's growth style equity strategy utilizes quantitative and fundamental equity analysis to identify stocks that it believes to have above-average market appreciation potential over a full market cycle.
PIMCO Funds. Founded in 1987, the PIMCO Funds, a series of no-load ----------- mutual funds (with a minimum investment of $1 million), enable medium and smaller U.S. institutional investors and high net worth individuals who do not satisfy PIMCO's minimum investment requirement for separate account management services ($75 million at December 31, 1994) to obtain PIMCO's investment management services on a commingled basis. The PIMCO Funds are also sold to retail clients through "aggregators." The PIMCO Funds include 12 separate funded portfolios, principally in the fixed income area. PIMCO's investment strategies in managing these portfolios in large measure reflect the investment strategies used by PIMCO for its separately managed accounts. At December 31, 1994, the PIMCO Funds had $9.9 billion of assets under management (excluding separate account assets invested in PIMCO Funds portfolios), with $6.7 billion invested in total return portfolios, $2.4 billion in low duration portfolios, $365 million in foreign portfolios and $528 million in other strategies.
International and Other Portfolios. PIMCO, as investment advisor to a ---------------------------------- series of offshore funds, provides fixed income investment advice to non-U.S. investors. Assets under management for these funds totaled $132.6 million and $145.7 million at December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, respectively. PIMCO also serves as subadvisor for a series of trusts investing in mortgage related securities that are marketed to Japanese investors. These trusts had assets of $2.3 billion and $2.1 billion at December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, respectively. PIMCO also serves as subadvisor for nine families of U.S. mutual funds sponsored by other mutual fund complexes. Total assets under management for these nonaffiliated funds at December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 were $1.2 billion and $967 million, respectively.
Set forth below is a table showing PIMCO's assets under management and number of portfolios by investment strategy at the dates indicated:
(1) Includes the managed assets of the PIMCO Funds.
Performance Based Fees. PIMCO's fee schedules are typically computed as a percentage of assets under management. PIMCO's StocksPLUS(R) product, which accounted for $4.6 billion of assets under management at December 31, 1994, generally is subject to a performance-based fee schedule in which under- performance relative to the S&P 500 index over a particular time period results in no fees being paid by clients and superior performance results in incentive fees that are not subject to a cap. The StocksPLUS(R) fee arrangement can materially affect PIMCO's total revenues from period to period.
In addition to the StocksPLUS(R) accounts, several large fixed income accounts also have performance-based fee arrangements. For these accounts, PIMCO must outperform a specified fixed income benchmark over a particular time period in order to receive a performance-based fee, but generally is entitled to a base fee determined with reference to the value of assets under management. Such arrangements can significantly affect PIMCO's revenues, but also provide an opportunity to earn higher fees than could be obtained under fee arrangements based solely on a percentage of assets under management.
Employees. PIMCO's ten Managing Directors have an average of 19 years of industry experience. Of the ten Managing Directors, three (William H. Gross, William F. Podlich, III and James F. Muzzy) have been associated with PIMCO since its founding and the other seven have been with PIMCO for an average of nine years. At December 31, 1994, the firm-wide staff of 232 included 35 investment professionals, of whom 12 are Chartered Financial Analysts. PIMCO's portfolio managers, including the fixed income staff (14 professionals) and equity staff (three professionals), are responsible for research and trading. Account managers (18 professionals) are primarily responsible for client relationship management and/or marketing.
COLUMBUS CIRCLE INVESTORS (CCI)
General. CCI, based in Stamford, Connecticut and established in 1975, manages discretionary accounts for entities such as corporate, government and union pension and profit sharing plans, foundations and educational institutions, as well as accounts for "high net worth" individuals. In addition, CCI has a private collective investment program for accredited investors. The assets under management and revenues of CCI have increased significantly in recent years. As of December 31, 1994, assets under management by CCI, exclusive of the approximately $3.5 billion of assets of the PIMCO Advisors Funds and the Cash Accumulation Trust under CCI management, were approximately $6.8 billion for 158 clients.
CCI's principal equity product consists of its "core" portfolios, which accounted for approximately $6.8 billion (or 66%) of its assets under management at December 31, 1994. CCI uses its "positive momentum & positive surprise" style for these portfolios, which principally consist of "large cap" U.S. equity securities. CCI also applies its "positive momentum & positive surprise" style to manage "small cap" portfolios aggregating approximately $1.4 billion (or 14%) of its assets under management at December 31, 1994; "mid cap" portfolios aggregating approximately $853 million (or 8%) of its assets under management at December 31, 1994; and "equity income" portfolios aggregating approximately $185 million (or 2%) of its assets under management at December 31, 1994. CCI also manages relatively small fixed income, balanced and specialized equity portfolios.
Investment Strategy. CCI's investment strategy has remained essentially unchanged since 1975. CCI's investment philosophy is based on the premise that companies producing results which exceed the expectations of investors and Wall Street equity research analysts will have rising stock prices, while companies with disappointing results will experience stock price decline. CCI's investment discipline focuses on the potential for "positive momentum & positive surprise." CCI monitors numerous factors, including political and economic developments, secular trends and industry and group dynamics, in addition to company-specific events, to determine which companies are best-positioned to achieve revenue and earnings acceleration. In addition to meeting the criteria for potential "positive momentum & positive surprise," thorough fundamental analysis is completed prior to making an investment decision. Depending upon market conditions, CCI seeks to enhance investment performance by writing "covered" call and stock index options on securities held in equity accounts.
The equity funds of the PIMCO Advisors Funds (plus the Tax Exempt Fund and the Money Market Fund) currently are managed by the same individuals who manage CCI's individual and institutional private accounts. Accordingly, the CCI investment philosophy and techniques described above are also applied to such equity and fixed income funds. CCI's policy is to accept only new accounts of $10 million or more (except in its accredited investors program).
Employees. Two of CCI's five Managing Directors, Irwin F. Smith and Donald A. Chiboucas, have been with CCI since its founding in 1975. Mr. Smith also served as Chairman of the Partnership from March 1993 until the Consolidation. At December 31, 1994, CCI had 66 employees, of whom 25 were investment professionals.
CADENCE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (CADENCE)
General. Cadence, based in Boston, Massachusetts and established in 1988, specializes in disciplined, growth-oriented management of equity securities. At December 31, 1994, Cadence had $1.8 billion of assets under management, managed separate account portfolios for 53 clients and subadvised four portfolios within the PIMCO Advisors Institutional Funds.
Investment Strategy. Cadence is a "growth at a reasonable price" equity manager. Cadence's philosophy is to participate in the long-term growth of the equity markets by constructing fully invested portfolios of stocks selling at reasonable valuations in relation to the fundamental prospects of the underlying companies. Cadence uses a disciplined, "bottom-up" investment process which utilizes quantitative screening for favorable fundamental and valuation attributes, followed by "hands-on" qualitative research to confirm the apparent business trends. Cadence structures its portfolios to be broadly based, typically including 80 to 100 issues.
Cadence's investment strategy involves the application of a proprietary investment management process to different universes of equity securities which are usually differentiated by market capitalization into four categories: large cap (the top 1,000 market cap issues), mid cap (market cap of over $500 million excluding the largest 200 issues), small cap ($50 million to $500 million) and micro cap (up to $100 million). Through this strategy, Cadence is able to differentiate its investment products while remaining focused on a single investment style.
Employees. The Managing Directors of Cadence include David B. Breed, a founder of the firm who serves on the Operating Board of the Partnership, and William Bannick, who joined Cadence in 1992. Mr. Breed is the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Cadence and is responsible for the original development and ongoing maintenance of the investment process. Mr. Bannick is responsible for investment management and client service. Cadence had a total of 21 employees at December 31, 1994, including five portfolio managers in addition to Messrs. Breed and Bannick.
PARAMETRIC PORTFOLIO ASSOCIATES (PARAMETRIC)
General. Parametric, based in Seattle, Washington and established in 1987, specializes in the use of highly quantitative techniques to manage U.S. and international equity portfolios for large U.S. corporate and public pension plans. Parametric's objective is to provide superior returns relative to a specified benchmark such as the S&P 500, the Russell 1000, EAFE or other customized indices. For pension plans, Parametric's strategy is to target those larger plans having passive index programs. In the mutual fund area, Parametric's strategy involves customizing its investment management product to a specified benchmark of the fund. Parametric focuses its institutional marketing efforts on pension consultants for large pension funds, which tend to be current users of index products. Parametric also seeks to develop client relationships with family trusts. At December 31, 1994, Parametric had assets under management of $1.5 billion, managed separate accounts for 18 clients and served as subadvisor for three PIMCO Advisors Institutional Funds and two unaffiliated families of funds.
Investment Strategy. Parametric structures its clients' portfolios to meet specific risk return objectives. Parametric believes that portfolios which track generally accepted performance benchmarks, such as the S&P 500, are not the most efficient portfolios because the benchmark simply represents the aggregate of current investor holdings. Parametric seeks to improve portfolio efficiency by changing the relative weightings of securities in its clients' portfolios relative to the selected benchmark, using rigorous and highly quantitative analysis of the historical return pattern of the selected benchmark and of securities within that benchmark.
Parametric uses a proprietary computer model to analyze the return pattern of the thousands of portfolios that can be constructed from securities in a given benchmark. In structuring its clients' portfolios, Parametric seeks to meet all of the following criteria simultaneously: higher returns than the benchmark in both favorable and unfavorable markets; total volatility no greater than that of the selected benchmark; and limited underperformance both in magnitude and in the number of underperforming periods. Parametric's typical U.S. benchmark-managed portfolios contain 200 to 225 stocks, while its international portfolios average 200 to 250 stocks.
Employees. At December 31, 1994, Parametric's staff included Mark England-Markun and William Cornelius as Managing Directors and 12 other employees.
NFJ INVESTMENT GROUP (NFJ)
General. NFJ, based in Dallas, Texas and established in 1989, is a disciplined, value-oriented manager of equity securities. NFJ's specialty is investing in a combination of low P/E stocks with high dividends selected through a proprietary screening model. NFJ's business strategy involves targeting the U.S. pension and mutual fund markets with specific attention to the pension consultants which dominate the pension market. NFJ believes that its value niche and conservative investment style is attractive to prospective clients because it naturally complements the styles of other growth or core equity managers. At December 31, 1994, NFJ had assets under management of $1.1 billion, managed separate account portfolios for 27 clients and also served as manager for three PIMCO Advisors Institutional Funds and four unaffiliated families of funds.
Investment Strategy. NFJ's investment philosophy is based on research showing that portfolios with a combination of low P/E stocks and high dividends consistently outperform market indices. The low P/E bias is based on the belief that "out of favor" stocks are not normally subjected to significant negative earnings surprises because their low P/E ratios already incorporate the market's negative expectations. The high dividend component offers an "income cushion" to protect returns when market conditions are unfavorable. Another important concept is NFJ's belief that diversification across industries is an important criterion for adding value. To avoid portfolios heavily concentrated in particular industries, NFJ has divided its 2,000-stock universe into numerous industry groups and selects its 50-stock portfolios from that universe.
NFJ has developed a structured process with a systematic buy/sell discipline based on fundamental research and computer modeling. NFJ analyzes all buy candidates to verify the low multiple of all stocks, based on trailing operating earnings, positive forward earnings, and acceptable relative price momentum.
Employees. At December 31, 1994, NFJ had a staff of 11, including Managing Directors Christopher Najork, Ben Fischer and John Johnson. Prior to joining NFJ in January 1989, these three individuals worked as a group for over 15 years at NCNB Texas (successor organization to First Republic Bank), and as a group they have over 75 years of investment experience.
BLAIRLOGIE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (BLAIRLOGIE)
General. Blairlogie, based in Edinburgh, Scotland and founded in late 1992, specializes in international equity investments. Blairlogie provides an international investment product that combines the country selection strategies with the systematic application of an investment process more typically used by U.S. investment firms. Blairlogie focuses its marketing efforts in the U.S. and seeks to capitalize on increased demand for international investment products by U.S. pension funds and retail-oriented U.S. mutual funds. Blairlogie's future business strategy may also include the development of investment management relationships in the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe.
Blairlogie is a newly organized firm and has operated at a loss since its inception. PFAMCo accordingly has agreed to reimburse Blairlogie for future operating losses, if any, through 1996, subject to 50% recoupment out of operating profits. At December 31, 1994, Blairlogie had approximately $500 million of assets under management including PIMCO Advisors International Fund, which had assets of approximately $280 million as of December 31, 1994.
Investment Strategy. Blairlogie's investment strategy involves the application of fundamental valuation criteria to country allocations and then to stock selection in order to enhance client returns over time, while seeking a relatively low level of overall portfolio risk. Blairlogie applies this strategy to all countries and stocks, regardless of whether they are developed or emerging or are large or small capitalization stocks. Blairlogie's investment process is a disciplined screening process that is based on active management at both the country selection and stock selection levels. Country allocation is generally the major single influence in Blairlogie's risk/reward decision, both in its global and emerging market models.
Employees. At December 31, 1994, Blairlogie had a staff of 18, including Managing Directors and firm founders Gavin R. Dobson, James G.S. Smith and Robert Stephens, with 17, 13 and 21 years of investment experience, respectively.
PARTNERSHIP MUTUAL FUNDS
In addition to the PIMCO Funds, which are offered and managed by PIMCO, the Partnership offers and manages two families of mutual funds, the PIMCO Advisors Funds for retail investors and the PIMCO Advisors Institutional Funds for institutional investors. The Partnership provides investment management and advisory services to these funds under investment advisory agreements with each of the funds.
Retail Mutual Funds. The PIMCO Advisors Funds are a family of 13 retail mutual funds (two of which commenced operations in December 1994) sold to retail investors principally through the broker-dealer community. The Partnership determines the investment policy and manages and supervises the administrative affairs of each fund. An Investment Management Firm acts as subadvisor and manages the day-to-day investments of these funds, except for the Precious Metals Fund. In the case of the Precious Metals Fund, an independent party acts as subadvisor. The following table presents the net assets of the retail funds at the dates indicated (excluding the Money Market Fund):
______ (1) Currently closed to new investors.
Marketing and Distribution. Marketing and distribution activities of certain of PIMCO Advisors Funds is conducted by the Distributor, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership. The Partnership uses the Distributor to distribute the PIMCO Advisors Funds through a large, diversified network of unaffiliated retail broker-dealers, including most leading full-service broker- dealers. Since October 1990, the Distributor has entered into selling agreements with over 700 broker-dealers and banks. The sales and marketing personnel develop and support sales and marketing strategies between the Partnership and the different retail broker-dealers. Additionally, the relationships fostered by this group allow the Distributor's wholesalers to have access to the branch offices and sales representatives of the retail broker-dealers.
As a captive sales, marketing and distribution company of the Partnership, the Distributor has in the past operated on essentially a break- even basis or at a loss. Revenues consist of payments made to it by the mutual funds as distribution, administrative and servicing fees pursuant to plans adopted under Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act, contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSCs") or "back-end loads," reimbursement of distribution expenses and net commissions on the sale of front-end load funds. The mutual fund distribution contracts and Rule 12b-1 plans must be renewed annually by the trustees of the mutual funds, including a majority of the trustees considered "disinterested." The Distributor incurs expenses in marketing and promoting the PIMCO Advisors Funds, with the largest expense being the commissions which are paid to broker-dealers and their salesmen for the sale of the PIMCO Advisors Funds.
Institutional Mutual Funds. The PIMCO Advisors Institutional Funds are a series of 18 institutional mutual funds, each with its own investment objective and policies. The Partnership provides the administrative, advisory and certain marketing services to these funds and the Investment Management Firms act as subadvisor and manage the day-to-day investments of 16 of these funds. The PIMCO Advisors Institutional Funds are designed primarily to provide pension and profit sharing plans, employee benefit trusts, foundations and endowment funds, corporations, other institutions and high net worth individuals with access to the professional investment management services of the Investment Management Firms. Each is an "open-end" fund which continuously offers to sell and redeem its shares at prices based on the net asset value of the fund's portfolios. Shares of these Funds are offered in both an institutional class and an administrative class. At December 31, 1994, the PIMCO Advisors Institutional Funds collectively had approximately 465 shareholders and $1.2 billion of assets under management.
The following table sets forth the assets under management of the institutional mutual funds:
REGULATION
Virtually all aspects of the investment management business of the Partnership are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations. The Partnership and its Investment Management Firms are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"), and are registered under applicable state securities laws. The Advisers Act imposes numerous obligations on registered investment advisors including fiduciary, recordkeeping, operational and disclosure obligations. Blairlogie is also a member of the Investment Management Regulatory Organization in the United Kingdom. PIMCO and Parametric are registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as Commodity Trading Advisors and are members of the National Futures Association. PIMCO and its subsidiary are also registered as Commodity Pool Operators. The funds are registered with the Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, shares of these funds are registered with the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the shares of each such fund are qualified for sale (or are exempt) under applicable state securities laws in all states in the United States and the District of Columbia in which shares are sold.
The Partnership and its Investment Management Firms are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and to regulations promulgated thereunder, insofar as they are "fiduciaries" under ERISA with respect to many of their clients.
The foregoing laws and regulations generally grant supervisory agencies and bodies broad administrative powers, including the power to limit or restrict any of the Investment Management Firms from conducting their business in the event that they fail to comply with such laws and regulations. Possible sanctions that may be imposed in the event of such noncompliance include the suspension of individual employees, limitations on the Investment Management Firm's business activities for specified periods of time, revocation of the Investment Management Firm's registration as an investment advisor, and other censures and fines. Changes in these laws or regulations could have a material adverse impact on the profitability and mode of operations of the Partnership and its Investment Management Firms.
The officers, directors and employees of the Partnership and its Investment Management Firms may from time to time own securities which are also owned by one or more of their clients. Each firm has internal policies with respect to individual investments and requires reports of securities transactions and restricts certain transactions so as to minimize possible conflicts of interest.
The Distributor is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is subject to regulation by the Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and other federal and state agencies. As a registered broker-dealer, it is subject to the Commission's net capital rule and certain state securities laws designed to enforce minimum standards regarding the general financial condition and liquidity of a broker-dealer. Under certain circumstances, these rules limit the ability of the Distributor's parent to make withdrawals of capital and receive dividends from such broker-dealer. The securities industry is one of the most highly regulated in the United States, and failure to comply with related laws and regulations can result in the revocation of broker-dealer licenses, the imposition of censures or fines and the suspension or expulsion from the securities business of a firm, its officers or employees.
COMPETITION
The investment management business is highly competitive. The Partnership and its Investment Management Firms compete with a large number of other domestic and foreign investment management firms, commercial banks, insurance companies, broker-dealers and others, although as a practical matter the Investment Management Firms typically compete with other firms offering comparable investment services and having comparable performance records. Some of the financial services companies with which the firms compete have greater resources and assets under management and administration than the Partnership and the Investment Management Firms and offer a broader array of investment products and services.
The Partnership believes that the most important factors affecting its competition for clients are the range of products offered, the abilities, performance records and reputations of its investment managers, management fees and the development of new investment strategies and marketing, although the importance of these factors can vary depending on the type of investment management service involved. Client service is also an important competitive factor. The Partnership's ability to increase and retain client assets could be adversely affected if client accounts underperform the market or if key investment managers leave the firms. The ability of the Partnership and the Investment Management Firms to compete with other investment management firms is also dependent, in part, on the relative attractiveness of their investment philosophies and methods under prevailing market conditions. There are relatively few barriers to entry by new investment management firms in the institutional managed accounts business, which increases competitive pressure.
Selection of advisors by institutional investors often is subject to a competitive review process relying heavily upon historical performance. As a result, new firms such as Blairlogie typically require a three to five year start-up period during which they experience losses and require subsidies.
A large number of mutual funds are sold to the public by investment management firms, broker-dealers, insurance companies and banks in competition with mutual funds sponsored by the Partnership. Many competitors apply substantial resources to advertising and marketing their mutual funds which may adversely affect the ability of Partnership-sponsored funds to attract new clients and to retain assets under management. The ability to attract and retain mutual fund assets in the load mutual funds which the Partnership offers is dependent to a significant degree on the ability to attract, retain and motivate retail brokerage salespersons.
POSSIBLE CONSTRAINTS ON GROWTH AND OPERATIONS
Distributions. Cash that is used to pay distributions on the Partnership's Class A Units, GP Units and Class B Units will not be available for other Partnership uses, including investments in new business opportunities. Because distributions on Class B Units are currently subordinated to the first-priority distributions on Class A and GP Units and since members of the Partnership's Operating and Equity Boards (which determine the amounts to be distributed to Unitholders) have an economic interest in a substantial number of Class B Units, there is a risk that the Partnership may distribute cash that could otherwise be used for other Partnership purposes. Also, there is a risk that the Operating and Equity Boards could cause the Partnership in certain circumstances to defer or forego the possibility of making an acquisition of a business venture in the best interest of the Partnership which could be made through the issuance of additional Class A Units because such an acquisition could result in a diminution in distributions paid to the holders of the Class B Units.
Effect of Covenants and Restrictions in Certain Debt Obligation of General Partner. The operations of the Partnership and the Investment Management Firms may be affected by the terms of a note agreement PIMCO GP entered into concurrently with the closing of the Consolidation, pursuant to which PIMCO GP issued notes in the principal amount of $130 million. Although this indebtedness will not constitute an obligation of the Partnership or any of the Investment Management Firms and the documents governing the indebtedness will not be binding on the Partnership or any of the Investment Management Firms, it is anticipated that the businesses of the Partnership and the Investment Management Firms will be conducted in compliance with the operating restrictions in the documents governing the indebtedness in order to avoid a default thereunder, even though contrary courses of action may be in the best interests of the Partnership or the Investment Management Firms. The operating restrictions under the note agreement, among other things, include restrictions on incurrence of indebtedness and liens, investments, asset sales, mergers and consolidations, affiliate transactions, issuance of additional Units and amendment of the Partnership Agreement. In addition, the note agreement includes cash flow and interest coverage requirements; these financial covenants could have the effect of inhibiting the Partnership's use of cash for any purpose other than for distributions. The operating restrictions in the note agreement will remain in effect until the debt matures in 2001 unless prepaid. The note agreement indebtedness will be non-recourse to PIMCO GP and will be secured by, among other things, a pledge of certain Units owned by PIMCO GP and indirectly by a pledge of certain of the Units held by TAG Inc. In the event of a default under this indebtedness, the lenders could foreclose upon and cause a sale of the pledged Units, which would reduce the economic interests in the Partnership of the General Partner and its beneficial owners, including Managing Directors of PIMCO, and which could adversely affect the market price of the Units.
19a
DERIVATIVES
The use of derivatives by investment managers has recently received national attention because of losses suffered on investments in derivatives. As a result of such losses, some of those investment managers have been sued for using or inadequately disclosing their use of derivatives or have made payments to clients to compensate for losses. As part of its investment philosophy, PIMCO has used deriviatives since 1980 in various ways in seeking to manage portfolio risk and exploit market inefficiencies. Its use of derivatives has generally been confined to futures, options and mainstream mortgage derivatives (such as collateralized mortgage obligations); however, PIMCO has at times also held positions in client portfolios in interest-only and principal-only strips (IOs and POs) and, in a few special situations, structured notes and swaps. Although certain of these derivative securities can have relatively higher degrees of interest rate risk, illiquidity and counterparty credit risk, PIMCO approaches derivatives much as it does other complex fixed income instruments -- as potential investments to be analyzed, monitored and used, when appropriate, to enhance a portfolio's return or manage its risk. PIMCO has developed and employs, in the case of derivatives as well as other securities, various risk controls at the portfolio and individual security levels in an effort to evaluate and monitor interest rate, liquidity and credit quality risk. PIMCO believes its use of derivatives has contributed positively to portfolio returns and PIMCO has not suffered any material claims or made any material payments to clients related to its use of derivatives.
RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL AND PROFIT-SHARING PAYMENTS
The ability of the Partnership and the Investment Managment Firms to attract and retain clients is dependent to a large extent on their ability to attract and retain key employees, including skilled portfolio managers. Certain of these employees are responsible for significant client relationships. In particular, the Partnership will depend to a signficant extent on the services of William H. Gross of PIMCO, Irwin F. Smith and Donald A. Chiboucas of CCI, and David B. Breed of Cadence. Mr. Gross is one of the best known fixed income portfolio managers in the United States, and the loss of his services could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership. In order to help retain these and other key personnel, each of the six Investment Management Firms has a policy of reserving a substantial percentage of its adjusted net book income for profit-sharing payments (45% in the case of PIMCO and CCI and in the case of the other Investment Management Firms, 15% of the first $3 million of such income, 25% of the next $2 million of such income, 40% of the next $5 million of such income and 45% of such income in excess of $10 million). These profit-sharing payments will signficantly reduce the amount of the Investment Management Firms' profits that will be distributed to the Partnership and become available for distribution to Unitholders. There can be no assurance that key personnel will be retained.
19b
FACTORS AFFECTING FEE REVENUES
General Considerations. Investment management agreements between investment management firms and their clients typically provide for fees based on a percentage of the assets under management, determined at least quarterly and valued at current market levels. The percentage of the fee applicable to a particular classification of assets under management is a function of several factors, including that investments which have higher degree of risk and uncertainty command a higher percentage fee. Therefore, significant fluctuations in securities prices or in the investment patterns of clients that result in shifts in assets under management can have a material effect on the Partnership's consolidated revenues and profitability. Such fluctuations in asset valuations and client investment patterns may be affected by overall economic conditions and other factors influencing the capital markets and the net sales of mutual fund shares generally, including interest rate fluctuations.
Virtually all of the Partnership's revenues are derived from investment management agreements with clients that are terminable at any time or upon 30 to 60 days' notice, as is the case generally in the investment management industry. Any termination of agreements representing a significant portion of assets under management could have an adverse impact on the Partnership's results of operations.
The investment management business is highly competitive and fees vary among investment managers. Some of the Investment Management Firms' fees are higher than those of many investment managers relative to the average size of accounts under management. Each Investment Management Firm's ability to maintain its fee structure in the competitive environment is dependent to a large extent on the ability of its investment managers to provide clients with service and investment returns that will cause clients to be willing to pay those fees. There can be no assurance that the Investment Management Firms will be able to retain their clients or sustain their fee structures in the future.
Reliance on Performance-Based Fees. On a pro forma combined basis, approximately 3.4% and 10.5% of the Partnership's revenues for the year ended December 31, 1994 and the year ended December 31, 1993, respectively, were derived from performance-based fees. Most of these revenues are attributable to PIMCO's operations. To earn a performance-based fee with respect to an account, the relevant Investment Management Firm must generally outperform a specific benchmark over a particular period. Performance-based fee arrangements can have a significant effect on revenues, but also provide an opportunity to earn higher fees than could be obtained under fee arrangements based solely on a percentage of assets under management. PIMCO's StocksPLUS (R) product, which accounted for $4.6 billion of assets under management at December 31, 1994, is subject to a performance-based fee schedule in which under-performance relative to the S&P 500 over a particular time period results in no fees being paid by clients, while superior performance results in incentive fees that are not subject to a cap. In addition to the Stocks PLUS (R) accounts, several large fixed income accounts also have performance-based fee arrangements. PIMCO's performance-based fee arrangements, including the StocksPLUS (R) fee arrangement, can materially affect PIMCO's revenues, and thus those of the Partnership, from period to period.
19c
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS; ANTICIPATED FUTURE RESTRUCTURING
Partnership Tax Considerations. In general, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), entities classified as partnerships are not subject to federal income tax. Instead, all holders of partnership interests are taxable on their allocable share of a partnership's income or gain for tax purposes, whether or not such income or gain is distributed. The Partnership has been advised that the Partnership should be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and the Investment Management Firms should not be treated as associations taxable as corporations for federal income tax purposes.
Loss of Partnership Tax Status. Under current law, the Partnership will cease being classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, and will be treated as a corporation, immediately after December 31, 1997 (or sooner if the Partnership adds a substantial new line of business or otherwise fails to satisfy certain requirements) unless the Partnership's limited partner interests cease to be publicly traded prior to such time. As a corporation, the Partnership would be subject to tax on its income and its shareholders would be subject to tax on dividends.
Anticipated Future Restructuring of the Partnership. In an effort to preserve partnership tax treatment after December 31, 1997 for nonpublic Unitholders, the Partnership Agreement confers on the General Partner broad authority to effect a Restructuring of the Partnership in connection with, or in anticipation of, such a change in tax status. While the precise form of a Restructuring cannot now be determined and will depend upon the facts and circumstances existing at the time a Restructuring is implemented, it is generally expected that, following a Restructuring, public Unitholders will hold their equity participation in the business of the Partnership through publicly traded stock issued by an entity treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, allowing the nonpublic Unitholders to continue to hold their equity participation in the Partnership directly or through some other entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. The Partnership does not currently expect to change its distribution policy following a Restructuring, and it is anticipated that the corporate entity generally would distribute all cash received by it from the Partnership other than cash needed for payment of taxes and operational expenses. Because of federal, state and other income taxes on such entity's income, cash available for dividends to the holders of the corporate entity's publicly traded securities would be substantially less than the cash distributed to the corporate entity by the Partnership.
The Partnership Agreement limits the liability of the General Partner with respect to a restructuring as described in Item 13 of this Report.
Internal Revenue Code Section 754 Election ------------------------------------------
The Partnership has made the election to adjust the basis of Partnership property as provided in Internal Revenue Code Section 754. The effect of this election, in conjunction with Internal Revenue Code Section 197, is generally to allow partners acquiring Units after April 30, 1992 to amortize and receive deductions for the amortization of the portion (if any) of their purchase price allocable to goodwill or intangibles. Amortization must occur over a fifteen year period, on a straight-line basis. Deductions for amortization reduce a partner's basis in his interest and must be recaptured as ordinary income upon the disposition of that interest.
With respect to options granted under the Unit Option Plans described in Item 11 below, the Partnership has been advised that: (i) upon the exercise of an option, the option holder will recognize ordinary compensation income for federal income tax purposes equal to the excess of the fair market value of the option Unit acquired over the exercise price of the option; and (ii) the Partnership will have an ordinary compensation deduction for federal income tax purposes equal to the amount of compensation income described in (i) and this deduction should be allocated among the units of partner interest in the Partnership outstanding immediately prior to exercise and should not be shared by the option Units.
The compensation deduction would be allocated among units of partner interest in the Partnership for tax purposes only if it were incurred in a taxable year of the Partnership beginning before January 1, 1998 (or any later year in which the Partnership has retained its status as a partnership as a result of a Restructuring or otherwise). Under current law, for taxable years of the Partnership beginning after December 31, 1997, the Partnership will be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes unless a Restructuring is effected to prevent that outcome.
ITEM 2.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES -------------------
The Partnership's principal offices are currently located at 840 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA where it occupies approximately 4,200 square feet of space under a sub-lease with PIMCO expiring on December 31, 1996 and at 2187 Atlantic Street where it and PADCo occupy approximately 17,200 square feet of space under a sub-lease expiring on July 31, 2002. Each location is a modern office building and the demised space is adequate for the Partnership's current operations, but more space may be necessary should the Partnership's business expand.
ITEM 3.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS ----------------------------------------------------------
On October 31, 1994, the holders of Units of limited partner interest consented to the following actions:
(i) the Agreement and Plan of Consolidation for PIMCO Advisors L.P. was approved -- For 4,695,320; Against 70,329; Abstaining 110,436; (ii) the PIMCO Advisors L.P. 1994 Class B Unit Option Plan was approved -- For 16,035,641; Against 114, 824; Abstaining 111,709; and (iii) the amendments to the existing option agreements under the Partnership's 1993 Unit Option Plan were approved -- For 16,036,053; Against 115,236; Abstaining 111,709.
ITEM 5.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prior to the Consolidation, the Partnership's limited partner units were listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "TAG" and after the Consolidation, the Class A Units have been listed on the NYSE under the symbol "PA." The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low closing prices for each limited partner unit or Class A Unit, as the case may be, as reported on the NYSE and the total cash distributions paid per limited partner Unit or Class A Unit, as the case may be, and GP Unit, as adjusted for the distribution of 1.06 Units per Unit effective October 9, 1994.
On March 23, 1995, the closing price of the Partnership's Class A Units as reported on the NYSE was $17.50 per unit. On March 15, 1995, there were approximately 721 holders of record of the Partnership's Class A Units.
The Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute to Unitholders on a quarterly basis cash in an amount equal to Operating Profit Available for Distribution less any amount the General Partner deems may be required for capital expenditures, reserves or otherwise in the business of the Partnership. The Partnership Agreement defines Operating Profit Available for Distribution as the sum of (i) the net income of the Partnership for such quarter determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and (ii) certain non-cash charges resulting from the amortization of goodwill and certain other intangible assets and non-cash compensation expenses related to options and restricted Units. The General Partner believes that the amounts withheld for capital expenditures, reserves or otherwise will not be substantial and intends to cause the Partnership to distribute cash to Unitholders in an amount which represents substantially all of the Partnership's Operating Profit Available for Distribution.
For each quarter commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 1994 and ending with the quarter ending December 31, 1997 (the "Interim Period"), distributions will be made first to holders of Class A Units and GP Units until such holders have received $0.47 per Unit per calendar quarter (aggregating to $1.88 per Unit per year) since the date of the Consolidation, second to holders of Class B Units until such holders have received $0.47 per Unit per calendar quarter on a cumulative basis within a calendar year but not carried over from year to year and third to all holders of Units pro rata. Distributions with respect to Class A and GP Units will be made within 45 days of the end of each calendar quarter in the Interim Period and thereafter within 60 days after the end of the calendar quarter, and with respect to Class B Units will be made within 60 days of the end of the calendar quarter, in all cases to holders of record on the 30th day after the end of the quarter.
After December 31, 1997, or earlier upon the occurrence of an Adverse Tax Event, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, the priority distributions will cease, distributions thereafter will be made on a pro rata basis among all Units then outstanding and any remaining cumulative shortfalls in the quarterly priority amounts will not be carried over. If, immediately prior to that time, the Class B Unit distribution were less than the Class A Unit distribution, upon termination of the subordination feature of the Class B Units, distributions to holders of Class A Units would decrease. Although not currently anticipated, a change in current law or the addition of a substantial new line of business may result in the occurrence of an Adverse Tax Event. If a Restructuring occurs prior to December 31, 1997, the General Partner will make (i) a final quarterly distribution for the quarter preceding the Restructuring in the priorities stated above and (ii) a cash distribution in an amount which the General Partner, in its good faith discretion, determines will not be required for expenses, for capital expenditures, as reserves or otherwise in the business of ongoing restructured entity in the priorities stated above. If an Adverse Tax Event has not occurred prior to the Restructuring, the first-priority distributions to the holders of Class A Units and GP Units will continue until the earlier of December 31, 1997 or the occurrence of an Adverse Tax Event.
No assurances can be given as to the Partnership's future earnings levels. Distributions made by the Partnership will depend on the Partnership's profitability and the profitability of the Investment Management Firms, which in turn, will be affected in part by overall economic conditions and other factors affecting capital markets generally, which are beyond the Partnership's control. In addition, the General Partner may, in determining the amount of distributions, deduct from Operating Profit Available for Distribution any amount the General Partner deems may be required for capital expenditures, reserves or otherwise in the business of the Partnership. To the extent the Partnership retains profits in any year, Unitholders may have taxable income from the Partnership that exceeds their cash distributions.

ITEM 7.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS ================================================================================ OF OPERATIONS =============
GENERAL
PIMCO Advisors L.P. and subsidiaries ("PA") was formed on November 15, 1994 ("Date of Consolidation"), when Pacific Financial Asset Management Group ("PFAMCo Group") merged (the "Consolidation") certain of its investment management businesses and substantially all of its assets into Thomson Advisory Group L.P. ("TAG"). The PFAMCo Group comprised the operations of Pacific Financial Asset Management Corporation ("PFAMCo"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Mutual"), and certain of its wholly-owned investment management subsidiaries. The businesses of PFAMCo Group contributed to PA were then contributed to the following newly formed subsidiaries:
. Pacific Investment Management Company ("Pacific Investment Management") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, StocksPLUS Management, Inc. ("StocksPLUS"), managing primarily Fixed Income, with approximately $56.9 billion in assets under management; . Cadence Capital Management ("Cadence") managing Equities, with approximately $1.8 billion in assets under management; . Parametric Portfolio Associates ("Parametric"), managing Equities, with approximately $1.5 billion in assets under management; . NFJ Investment Group ("NFJ"), managing Equities, with approximately $1.1 billion in assets under management; . Blairlogie Capital Management ("Blairlogie"), managing Equities, with approximately $500 million in assets under management.
As a result of the Consolidation, the PFAMCo Group businesses described above and Columbus Circle Investors ("CCI"), formerly a division of TAG, managing primarily Equities, with approximately $10.3 billion in assets under management, were organized and now conduct their businesses as separate, autonomous subsidiaries of PA. The subsidiaries are each a registered investment advisor and collectively they provide a broad array of investment management and advisory services for clients using distinctive investment management styles.
In addition to the investment management subsidiaries, PA sponsors three mutual fund families: PIMCO Funds (12 funds for institutions); PIMCO Advisors Funds (13 retail funds and Cash Accumulation Trust); and PIMCO Advisors Institutional Funds (18 funds for institutional and 401(k)/defined contribution investors).
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the Consolidation is accounted for as an acquisition of TAG by PFAMCo Group, even though the legal form was the reverse. Therefore, the historical financial statements include the operations of PFAMCo Group, in its corporate form, prior to the Consolidation and the combined results of PA, in its partnership form, for the period since the Consolidation.
Due to the different bases of presentation and resulting difficulties in analyzing comparative historical financial information as a result of the required accounting presentation, management has included below certain pro forma financial information as if the Consolidation occurred at the beginning of 1993. Pro forma results eliminate the significant comparative differences in the historical results of operations arising primarily from different taxation of corporations and partnerships, from the inclusion of the former TAG's results of operations in the pro forma results from the beginning of 1993 (as opposed to only from the date of Consolidation reflected in the historical financial statements), and from certain transactions and restructuring effected by the Consolidation, principally related to the creation and amortization of intangibles and revised profit sharing arrangements.
PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following table summarizes the unaudited condensed pro forma results of operations as if the Consolidation discussed above had occurred on January 1, 1993. The pro forma operating results give effect to:
(i) The Consolidation of PFAMCo Group and TAG; (ii) The amendment of existing options under TAG's 1993 Unit Option Plan; (iii)The adoption of the Class B Limited Partnership Unit Option Plan; (iv) The contribution of PIMCO Advisors Distribution Company ("PADCO") to PA in exchange for Class A Limited Partnership Units; and (v) Certain transactions effected by PFAMCo Group and TAG in connection with the consolidation, primarily related to intangible amortization and profit sharing .
The pro forma information given above is not intended to reflect the results that actually would have been obtained if the operations were consolidated during the periods presented.
PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR 1994 COMPARED TO 1993
PA derives substantially all its revenues and net income from advisory fees for investment management services provided to its institutional and individual clients and advisory, distribution and servicing fees for services provided to its proprietary families of mutual funds ("Proprietary Funds").
Generally, such fees are determined based upon a percentage of client assets under management and are billed quarterly to institutional clients, either in advance or arrears, depending on the agreement with the client, and monthly in arrears to Proprietary Funds. Revenues, therefore, are determined in large part based upon the level of assets under management which are dependent upon market conditions, client decisions to add or withdraw assets from PA's management and from PA's ability to attract new clients, among other factors. In addition, PA has certain accounts which are subject to performance based fee schedules wherein performance relative to the S&P 500 Index or other benchmarks over a particular time period can result in additional fees. Such performance based fees can have a significant effect on revenues, but also provide an opportunity to earn higher fees than could be obtained under fee arrangements based solely on a percentage of assets under management.
PA's consolidated pro forma 1994 revenues, including those of its wholly- owned distributor PADCO, were $269.1 million compared to $255.5 million in 1993, up $13.6 million. Advisory revenues were $231.5 million in 1994 compared to $222.4 million in 1993, up $9.1 million. PADCO's revenues were $37.6 million in 1994 compared to $33.1 million in 1993, up $4.5 million. Revenue increases resulted from the commitment of new assets by institutional clients and to a lesser extent from favorable investment performance and increases in mutual fund assets under management. These increases were partially offset by a decline in performance based fees which were 3.4% of revenues in 1994, versus 10.5% of revenues in 1993. The decline in performance based fees occurred primarily from under performance in a product line that seeks to outperform the S&P 500 Index.
Pro forma revenues by operating entity were as follows:
/(1)/ Includes PA's Institutional Services (formerly PFAMCo) and Mutual Funds divisions and Blairlogie.
Compensation and benefits expenses in 1994 of $119.0 million were $5.4 million higher than 1993 reflecting additional staffing, primarily in Pacific Investment Management's client support and administration areas, offset by lower profit sharing expenses which are based on profits of each of the investment advisor subsidiaries.
Commission expenses increased by $2.9 million to $23.1 million in 1994. Commission expenses are incurred by PADCO and are paid primarily to broker- dealers and their sales people for the sale of PA's retail oriented mutual funds. Commissions include amounts paid at the time of sale of the mutual funds ("up-front" commissions) and "trail" commissions for the maintenance of assets in the mutual funds and servicing fees for services provided to mutual fund shareholders. The level of commission expense will vary according to the level of assets in the mutual funds (on which trail and service fee commissions are determined) and sales of mutual funds (on which up-front commissions are paid at the time of sale). Trail and service fee commissions are generally paid quarterly beginning one year after sale of the mutual funds. Therefore, at any given time, trail and service fee commissions will be paid on only the mutual fund assets that qualify for such payments. In 1994, trail and service fee commissions increased to $16.3 million from $9.1 million in 1993 as a result of an increase in the amount of qualifying assets. Up-front commissions decreased by $4.3 million to $6.8 million in 1994 as a result of lower current levels of retail mutual fund sales.
Other expenses increased $6.1 million to $33.4 million. This resulted from increases in occupancy costs, commensurate with increases in personnel described above, marketing and promotional expenses for the Proprietary Funds and the increased use of outside professional services.
Other income includes interest and dividend income and pro forma expense reimbursements under agreements with Pacific Mutual. Other income in 1993 included approximately $2.0 million of expense reimbursement related to the operations of PA's Institutional Services division which is the maximum amount that can be received under the agreement. In actuality, this reimbursement agreement became effective on the date of Consolidation and reimbursement will be realized subsequent to the date of Consolidation.
Intangible assets of approximately $284.9 million created by the Consolidation represent the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets of TAG deemed acquired by PFAMCo Group. Approximately $80.7 million of the intangible assets represents the value assigned to PA's Master Limited Partnership ("MLP") structure. Under current tax law, an MLP is exempt from Federal and most state and local income taxes through December 31, 1997. The value attributed to the MLP structure is being amortized through the period ended December 31, 1997. The remainder is being amortized over its estimated life of twenty years.
Net income per unit is computed under the two-class method which allocates net income to Class A and Class B Limited Partnership units in proportion to the Operating Profit Available for Distribution for each class. Operating Profit Available for Distribution is defined by PA's partnership agreement and is computed as the sum of net income plus non-cash charges from the amortization of intangible assets and non-cash compensation expenses arising from option and restricted unit plans. Since Class A Limited Partnership and General Partner units are entitled to a priority distribution, the amount of Operating Profit Available for Distribution allocated to such units is greater than the amount for Class B Limited Partnership units. As a result, the net income per Class A Limited Partnership and General Partner unit is greater than the net income per Class B Limited Partnership unit. Due to the priority distribution, any dilution to net income per unit from the assumed exercise of unit options is currently applied entirely to Class B Limited Partnership units.
The General Partner and Class A Limited Partnership units are entitled to a priority distribution of $1.88 per unit per year. Actual unit distributions in February 1995 were 23.9 cents for the General Partner and Class A Limited Partnership units and in March 1995 were 7.7 cents for the Class B Limited Partnership units. These amounts reflect Operating Profit Available for Distribution for the 46 day period from the date of Consolidation through December 31, 1994.
HISTORICAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The historical financial statements reflect the results of PFAMCo Group during 1992 and 1993. The results for 1994 include PFAMCo Group, in its corporate form for the period January 1, 1994 to November 15, 1994 and PA's post-Consolidation combined results in its partnership form from November 16, 1994 to December 31, 1994. This accounting treatment, known as "reverse acquisition" accounting, is required under generally accepted accounting principles.
Therefore, many of the comparative differences in the results of operations between 1994 and 1993 are due to the reorganization of PFAMCo Group into partnership form, the inclusion of the former TAG operations in combination with PFAMCo Group's operations from November 16, 1994 to December 31, 1994, and from transactions and restructuring which occurred in the Consolidation. The 1994 results also include certain first-time non-cash expenses related to the amortization of intangible assets created by the Consolidation and from expenses related to option and restricted unit plans.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR 1994 COMPARED TO 1993
PA's 1994 revenues, including PADCO, were $180.3 million compared to $165.9 million in 1993, up $14.4 million. The increase in revenues results primarily from the inclusion of the former TAG in the results of PA's operations since the Consolidation.
Compensation and benefits which primarily includes salaries, employee benefits and incentive compensation is PA's largest expense category. Incentive compensation consists of profit-sharing and other incentive awards which are primarily formula driven and based upon profitability of the investment management subsidiaries. Incentive compensation also includes discretionary bonus amounts. Prior to the Consolidation, profit-sharing awards ranged from 40% to 80% of the profits, as defined, of the operating subsidiaries of PFAMCo Group. Awards range from 15% to 45% of such profits after the Consolidation.
Commission expenses include the up-front, trail and service fee commissions from PADCO's operations. Restricted Unit and Option Plan expense results from grants to key employees of restricted units and options to purchase units at substantially reduced prices. Such plans have 5-year vesting provisions and other restrictions and the associated expense is being amortized over the 5-year period. There were no similar items in the 1993 results of operations for commissions and Restricted Unit and Option Plan expenses.
General and administrative expenses are primarily comprised of supplies, telephone, printing, books and periodicals, and electronic research fees.
Marketing and promotional includes sales literature, marketing fees, sales promotion, travel and entertainment, and public relations costs. The increase in 1994 over 1993 results from the inclusion of $1.4 million of TAG's costs, primarily related to PADCO, since the Consolidation and from promotional spending for the marketing of the PIMCO Funds.
Occupancy and equipment includes $0.9 million of TAG's costs and increased over 1993 due to facility expansion primarily at Pacific Investment Management.
Professional fees include costs of outside services for legal, accounting, audit and consultants. The expense for 1994 includes approximately $0.4 million from TAG's operations. The increase in total professional fees over 1993 is largely due to professional services rendered in connection with the Consolidation.
Equity in income of partnerships represents earnings from Pacific Investment Management's investment in a limited partnership, StocksPLUS, L.P., a pooled investment vehicle whose investment objective is to create returns for clients above the S & P 500 index. The amount earned by Pacific Investment Management will vary from year-to-year and will depend on the relative investment performance of StocksPLUS, L.P.
Income tax expense represents the current and deferred provision for Federal and state income taxes. Following the Consolidation, PA is organized as a partnership whose income is generally not subject to tax at the partnership entity level. PA does, however, have two corporate subsidiaries that may be subject to Federal and state income taxes.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR 1993 COMPARED TO 1992
No revenue or expense of the former TAG operations are included in this comparison.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1993 increased 38% as compared to the year ended December 31, 1992, primarily from assets under management increasing 30.8%. Performance based fees increased from $14 million for the year ended December 31, 1992 to $26.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1993. This increase in performance based fee revenue is directly related to the performance of these accounts exceeding their benchmarks in 1993 as compared to 1992 as well as an increase in the number of performance based accounts.
Operating expenses increased 41.3% for the year ended December 31, 1993 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1992, primarily from increased employee compensation and benefits resulting from certain profit sharing programs tied to profitability and the addition of staff to support an increased client base and assets under management. Employees increased to 276 at December 31, 1993 from 204 at December 31, 1992. Overall, expenses increased to 79.3% of revenues in 1993 as compared to 77.4% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 1992.
Income before income tax expense increased 24.8% for the year ended December 31, 1993 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1992 primarily as a result of the factors noted above. The effective tax rate for the year ended 1993 was slightly higher than the expected rate due to the foreign operations of Blairlogie not being included as part of the tax provision calculation.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
PA's and its predecessor entities' combined business has not historically been capital intensive. Prior to the Consolidation, working capital requirements have been satisfied out of operating cash flow or short-term borrowings. PA will make quarterly profit-sharing payments and distributions to its unitholders. PA may need to finance profit sharing payments using short-term borrowings.
PA had approximately $55.0 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1994 compared to approximately $9.3 million at December 31, 1993. The increase in cash was due primarily to the receipt of approximately $20 million of net proceeds raised in a public offering of primary units shortly after the Consolidation and approximately $14.6 million derived from the consolidation of the former TAG businesses acquired. PA's liquidity will be used for general corporate purposes including profit-sharing payments and brokers' commissions on sales of mutual fund shares distributed without a front-end sales load. PA believes that the level of such commissions may increase in the future due to the introduction of new products and mutual fund pricing structures which may require an internal financing source; however, PA has made no formal decision as to the source or necessity of such financing.
PA currently has no long-term debt. The Partnership does expect to obtain a $25 million four-year revolving line of credit for working capital purposes.
ECONOMIC FACTORS
The general economy including interest rates, inflation and client responses to economic factors will affect, to some degree, the operations of PA. As a significant portion of assets under management are fixed income funds, fluctuations in interest rates could have a material impact on the operations of PA. PA's advisory business is generally not capital intensive and therefore any effect of inflation, other than on interest rates, is not expected to have a significant impact on its operations or financial condition. Client responses to the economy, including decisions as to the amount of assets deposited may also impact the operations of PA. These fluctuations may or may not be recoverable in the pricing of services offered by PA.

PIMCO ADVISORS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
PIMCO Advisors L.P. ("PA") is a registered investment advisor that provides a broad array of investment management and advisory services to institutional and retail mutual funds and to separate accounts of institutional clients.
PA was formed on November 15, 1994, when Pacific Financial Asset Management Group ("PFAMCo Group") merged (the "Consolidation") certain of its investment management businesses and substantially all of its assets into Thomson Advisory Group L.P. ("TAG"). The PFAMCo Group comprised Pacific Financial Asset Management Corporation ("PFAMCo"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Mutual"), and certain of PFAMCo's wholly-owned investment management subsidiaries. The businesses of PFAMCo Group contributed to PA were then contributed to newly formed subsidiaries of PA.
For the period after the Consolidation, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PA and its subsidiaries. The investment advisor subsidiaries included in these consolidated financial statements are as follows:
. Pacific Investment Management Company ("Pacific Investment Management") manages a variety of predominantly fixed income portfolios primarily for institutions and mutual funds;
. Columbus Circle Investors ("CCI") manages primarily equity securities using a positive momentum/positive surprise approach, principally for institutions and mutual funds;
. Cadence Capital Management ("Cadence") specializes in disciplined, growth-oriented management of equity securities primarily for institutions and mutual funds;
. Parametric Portfolio Associates ("Parametric") specializes in highly quantitative management of domestic and international equity portfolios primarily for institutions and mutual funds;
. NFJ Investment Group ("NFJ") is a value-oriented manager of equity securities primarily for institutions and mutual funds; and
. Blairlogie Capital Management ("Blairlogie") specializes in international equity securities from its office in Edinburgh, Scotland primarily for institutions and mutual funds.
The investment advisor subsidiaries are supported by additional incorporated subsidiaries:
. PIMCO Advisors Distribution Company ("PADCO") serves as the distributor of institutional and retail mutual funds (the "Proprietary Funds") for which PA and the investment advisor subsidiaries provide investment management and administrative services; and
. StocksPLUS Management, Inc. ("StocksPLUS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Investment Management, owns approximately 0.2 percent interest in, and is the general partner of StocksPLUS, L.P. (Note 13).
PIMCO ADVISORS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pacific Investment Management, CCI, Cadence, Parametric, NFJ and Blairlogie are registered investment advisors. PADCO is a registered broker/dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Institutional mutual funds managed consist of the PIMCO Funds (the "PIMCO Funds") and the PIMCO Advisors Institutional Funds, formerly the PFAMCo Funds, both of which are open-end investment management companies. The PIMCO Funds include 12 predominantly fixed income funds. The PIMCO Advisors Institutional Funds are a series of 18 equity and fixed income funds. The retail mutual funds managed consist of 14 funds included within two open-end investment management companies, the PIMCO Advisors Funds ("PAF"), formerly the Thomson Funds, and the Cash Accumulation Trust ("CAT").
The accompanying financial statements for the period prior to the Consolidation include the accounts of PFAMCo and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, reflected on a combined basis.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Cash and Short-Term Investments - PA invests certain cash balances in money market funds. At December 31, 1994, this investment was approximately $41,000,000, of which approximately $32,000,000 is invested in the National Money Market Fund of CAT. At December 31, 1993, approximately $2,514,000 was invested in money market funds. Management considers investments in money market funds to be cash equivalents for purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates market.
b. Investment Advisory Fees - PA records investment advisory fees on an accrual basis. Investment advisory fees receivable for private and separate accounts consist primarily of accounts billed on a quarterly basis. Private accounts may also generate a fee based on investment performance, which is recorded as income when earned and not subject to forfeiture. Investment advisory fees for the Proprietary Funds are received monthly.
c. Depreciation and Amortization - Office equipment, furniture and fixtures are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally five years. Automobiles are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives, generally three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining terms of the related leases or the useful lives of such improvements, whichever is shorter.
d. Income Taxes - Subsequent to the Consolidation, PA and its subsidiaries are predominantly partnerships and, as a result, are generally not subject to Federal or state income taxes. PA is subject to an unincorporated business tax in a certain jurisdiction in which it operates. All partners of PA are responsible for taxes, if any, on their proportionate share of PA's taxable income.
PADCO and StocksPLUS are subject to Federal and state income taxes and file separate tax returns and account for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109.
PIMCO ADVISORS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
e. Investments - The investments in Proprietary Funds as of December 31, 1994 represent primarily investments in PAF and CAT. The investments are carried at market value in accordance with SFAS No. 115. The investments in Proprietary Funds as of December 31, 1993 are primarily invested in the PIMCO Funds with a short-term duration objective and are carried primarily at the lower of cost or market value. Cost approximated market value as of December 31, 1993.
f. Foreign Currency Translation - The assets and liabilities of Blairlogie, PFAMCo UK Limited and Blairlogie's predecessor Company have been translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange existing at year-end. Revenues and expenses were translated at the average of the monthly exchange rates then in effect.
g. Net Income Allocation - Net income is allocated in accordance with the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of PA. Net income is allocated among unit holders in the same proportions as cash distributions. PA's cash distribution policy provides for a first priority distribution to General Partner and Class A Limited Partnership units followed by a second priority distribution to Class B Limited Partnership units. During the period from the Consolidation through December 31, 1994, the second priority distribution was less than the first priority distribution.
h. Earnings per Unit - Earnings per unit are computed based on the weighted average number of units outstanding, assuming the exercise of dilutive unit options. Proceeds from the exercise of such unit options are assumed to be used to repurchase outstanding Limited Partnership units under the treasury stock method.
The weighted average number of units used to compute earnings per unit was as follows:
General Partner and Class A Limited Partnership Units 41,802,420 Class B Limited Partnership Units 32,960,826
i. Other - Certain items have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. All significant intercompany items have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
3. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
For accounting purposes, the Consolidation between PFAMCo Group and TAG is treated as a purchase and recapitalization of TAG by PFAMCo Group, or a "reverse acquisition." Intangible assets of approximately $284.9 million represent the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets of TAG deemed acquired in the Consolidation. A portion of the intangible assets represents the value assigned to PA's Master Limited Partnership ("MLP") structure. Under current Internal Revenue Code guidelines, an MLP is exempt from Federal and most state and local income taxes through December 31, 1997. The value attributed to the MLP structure will be amortized over the period ending December 31, 1997. The remainder will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated life of twenty years. During the year ended December 31, 1994, approximately $5.0 million of amortization has been charged to expense.

4. PRO FORMA RESULTS (UNAUDITED) The following represents the unaudited pro forma results of operations as if the Consolidation discussed in Note 1 had occurred on January 1, 1993, except for the period from November 15, 1994 through December 31, 1994 which reflects actual results. The pro forma operating results give effect to:
(a) The Consolidation of PFAMCo Group and TAG; (b) The amendment of existing options under TAG's 1993 Unit Option Plan; (c) The adoption of the Class B Limited Partnership Unit Option Plan; (d) The contribution of PADCO to PA in exchange for Class A Limited Partnership Units; and (e) Certain transactions effected by PFAMCo Group and TAG in connection with the Consolidation, primarily related to the intangible amortization and profit sharing.
The pro forma information above is not intended to reflect the results that actually would have been obtained if the operations were consolidated during the periods presented.
PIMCO ADVISORS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. NOTES RECEIVABLE
Pacific Investment Management has granted loans to certain employees as part of programs designed to ensure the long-term retention of those employees. These loans are primarily non-interest bearing and are generally due within one year of issuance.
6. FIXED ASSETS
The major classifications of fixed assets are as follows:
Fixed assets of certain of the subsidiaries were revalued at their estimated fair market values in connection with the Consolidation.
7. INCOME TAXES
Prior to the Consolidation, PFAMCo's operations and those of its domestic subsidiaries were included in the combined domestic Federal income tax returns of Pacific Mutual. PFAMCo's operations and its domestic subsidiaries were included in the combined California franchise tax return of Pacific Financial Holding Company ("PFHC"), the parent of PFAMCo. Certain subsidiaries filed separate state income or franchise tax returns. PFAMCo and its domestic subsidiaries were allocated an expense or a benefit based principally on the effect of including their operations in the combined provision as if the companies filed a separate return in accordance with a tax sharing agreement between PFAMCo and PFHC.
Included on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as "other assets" are deferred tax assets (liabilities) as of December 31, 1993 related to the following components:
PIMCO ADVISORS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The provision for income taxes prior to the Consolidation was as follows:
Reconciliations of the statutory federal income tax rates to the effective income tax rates prior to the Consolidation are as follows:
After the Consolidation, PA incurred a tax liability of $19,250 principally related to the activities of a corporate subsidiary.
8. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of December 31, 1994, the payable to affiliates includes cash received by PA and several of the subsidiaries for advisory fees which pre-dated the Consolidation. This amount is payable to affiliates of Pacific Mutual.
Prior to the Consolidation, PFAMCo and a subsidiary had credit agreements with PFHC, which provided for borrowings up to $40,000,000. The outstanding balance incurred a rate of interest as defined in the agreement. As of December 31, 1993, the applicable interest rate averaged 3.5% on outstanding borrowings of $18,000,000 which were included in payable to affiliates in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
PIMCO ADVISORS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pacific Mutual provided certain support services to PFAMCo Group prior to the Consolidation. Services for certain of PFAMCo Group's employees include participation in a pension plan maintained by Pacific Mutual (Note 9f). Charges for support services, including pension plan participation, amounted to approximately $2,335,000, $2,272,000 and $2,158,000 for the period ended November 15, 1994 and the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Dividends declared of $7,258,012 for the year ended December 31, 1993 were satisfied through a reduction in intercompany accounts.
9. BENEFIT PLANS
a. Profit Sharing and Incentive Programs - PA and its subsidiaries have several profit sharing and incentive programs that compensate participants on the basis of profitability and discretionary bonuses. Compensation under these programs was approximately $10,091,000 for the period from the Consolidation through December 31, 1994.
Prior to the Consolidation, PFAMCo Group had nonqualified profit sharing plans (the "Profit Sharing Plans") covering certain key employees and other employees. The Profit Sharing Plans provided for awards based on the profitability of the respective subsidiary. Such profitability was primarily based on income before income taxes and before profit sharing. The awards ranged from 40% to 80% of such amounts depending on the level of profitability. Profit sharing awards were fully vested at the date of the Consolidation. Profit sharing expense relating to the Profit Sharing Plans of approximately $68,387,000, $86,286,000 and $60,711,900 are included in compensation and benefits in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period ended November 15, 1994 and the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
b. Long-Term Compensation - Long-term compensation includes amounts payable to certain officers of a subsidiary in connection with the discretionary bonuses discussed above. The amounts payable will be paid on specified dates and are subject to cancellation upon the occurrence of certain events.
In addition, certain key employees of the PFAMCo subsidiaries participated in Long-Term Incentive Plans that provided compensation under the Profit Sharing Plans for a specified period of time subsequent to their termination of employment. These plans were terminated as of the Consolidation.
c. Savings and Investment Plans - PA and its subsidiaries have several defined contribution employee benefit plans covering substantially all employees. PA and Pacific Investment Management are the sponsors of certain defined contribution employee savings and investment plans.

ITEM 9.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE --------------------
On December 15, 1994, the Operating Committee of the Operating Board of the Partnership, with the consent of the Audit Committee of the Equity Board of the Partnership, appointed the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Partnership's auditor, to replace the firm of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., which served in that position until it was dismissed in connection with the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP.
The change in auditors was made by the Partnership as a result of the Consolidation, which occurred November 15, 1994. As reported above, in the Consolidation, the businesses of the Partnership were consolidated with the principal businesses of PFAMCo and certain of its subsidiaries. The firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP had served as auditors of the PFAMCo businesses, which after the Consolidation comprised the majority of the Partnership's operations. Accordingly, the Partnership believed it to be appropriate that Deloitte & Touche LLP serve as auditor for the Partnership.
The change in auditors did not arise from any disagreement during the Partnership's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period up to December 15, 1994 with Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in any of its reports. The financial statements prepared by Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. for 1992 and 1993 have not contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
ITEM 10.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT -------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT
GENERAL
The Partnership carries on its combined businesses (i) directly through the Partnership with respect to the Partnership's administrative, accounting and legal functions, its retail mutual fund business and certain mutual fund businesses and distribution activities of the PIMCO Advisors Institutional Funds and (ii) through six largely autonomous Investment Management Firms which carry on the respective businesses of PIMCO, CCI, Cadence, Parametric, NFJ and Blairlogie.
PARTNERSHIP
Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner has delegated substantially all of the management and control of the Partnership to two management boards, the Operating Board and the Equity Board. For Partnership governance purposes, the Operating Board and the Equity Board are intended to function comparably to a board of directors of the Partnership. Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, governance matters are allocated generally to the Operating Board, which has, in turn, delegated the authority to manage day-to-day operations and policies of the Partnership to the Operating Committee. Accordingly, the members of the Operating Committee, together with certain other officers of the Partnership, fulfill the functions of executive officers of the Partnership.
The members of the Operating Board and the Operating Committee are as set forth below:

Thereafter, the Operating Board will consist of at least 11 members designated by the Investment Management Firms in accordance with their relative contributions to the income of the Partnership and may include additional members.
The Operating Committee, which is appointed by the Operating Board, is required to be composed of no fewer than three members, including the Chief Executive Officer of the Partnership and one member who is a Managing Director of an Investment Management Firm other than PIMCO. The management board of an Investment Management Firm may appeal any decision made by the Operating Committee which may have a material adverse effect on such Investment Management Firm to the full Operating Board which, after any such appeal, will have the sole power and authority (subject to the referral to the Equity Board in certain circumstances) with respect to the resolution of such matter.
The authority of the Operating Board and the Operating Committee to take certain specified actions is subject to the approval of an Equity Board. The Equity Board has jurisdiction over any decision of the Operating Board with which three members of the Operating Board disagree and which is expected to have a material adverse effect on an Investment Management Firm. In addition, the Equity Board's approval is required for certain material transactions, including amendment of the Partnership Agreement or the partnership agreement of an Investment Management Firm, incurring large amounts of debt or making significant investments, making certain material changes in the business of the Partnership or of an Investment Management Firm or material acquisitions or dispositions by the Partnership or an Investment Management Firm, the authorization of additional Units, the selection of the Chief Executive Officer of the Partnership, the removal of any Managing Director of an Investment Management Firm (to the extent such approval is required by the Investment Management Firm), declaring distributions on Units, material transactions with affiliates, any increase in the compensation of a Managing Director of an Investment Management Firm, and the adoption of any policy or any action by one Investment Management Firm that materially burdens another.
The members of the Equity Board are as set forth below:

Thereafter, the then serving Equity Board will appoint an Equity Board consisting of 13 members who shall consist of the Chairperson of the Operating Board, the Chief Executive Officer of the Partnership and 11 other members, including at least three independent directors, allocated in a manner reasonably determined by the Equity Board to represent most effectively the interests of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of Units, including the public Unitholders.

If his contract is terminated without cause prior to December 31, 1996, he receives accrued but unpaid salary and guaranteed bonus plus pro-rata guaranteed bonus to date of termination plus any discretionary bonus that may be declared plus a severance payment of the greater of (i) $500,000 or (ii) a continuation until December 31, 1996 of his salary and guaranteed bonus. If his contract is terminated without cause between December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1998, he shall be entitled to the same payments described in the prior sentence except that the amount of the severance payment shall be fixed at $500,000. In the event of any such terminations, all his options and Restricted Units which have not vested shall automatically vest.
Irwin F. Smith, a member of the Operating Committee, Operating Board and Equity Board, as well as Chief Executive Officer of CCI, entered into an Employment Agreement with CCI through December 31, 1998, under which he will receive an annual base salary of $350,000, which will increase to $400,000 on January 1, 1997. During the term of his Employment Agreement, Mr. Smith will be prohibited from diverting or taking away funds with respect to which CCI is performing investment management services or from competing with the investment management services offered by the Partnership or any of the Investment Management Firms. Upon a voluntary termination or a termination for cause, until January 1, 1999, Mr. Smith will not engage in certain prohibited competition activities and until December 31, 2000, Mr. Smith will also be prohibited from soliciting clients or soliciting or working with professional employees of CCI. Mr. Smith's existing option agreement was amended in certain respects. Mr. Smith is also eligible to participate in the profit sharing plan adopted by CCI.
William S. Thompson, Jr., a member of the Operating Committee, Operating Board and Equity Board, entered into an Employment Agreement with PIMCO under which he will receive an annual base salary (including taxable fringe benefits) of $236,000. In addition, Mr. Thompson will be eligible to participate in the profit sharing plan adopted by PIMCO. Mr. Thompson's Employment Agreement provides that, during his term of employment with PIMCO, he will be prohibited from diverting or taking away funds with respect to which PIMCO is performing investment management services and from competing with the investment management services offered by the Partnership or any of the Investment Management Firms. The Partnership also granted Mr. Thompson options to purchase up to 230,000 Class B Units under the 1994 Unit Option Plan.
John O. Leasure, a Senior Vice President of the Partnership and President and a Director of PADCO, entered into an Employment Agreement with the Partnership through December 31, 1996 under which he will receive an annual base salary of $275,000 and an annual bonus of at least 50% of such amount (with such bonus expected to be within the range of 50% to 150% of such salary). In the event of an Involuntary Termination (as defined) 100% of his options under the 1993 Unit Option Plan (described below) and at least 60% of his options under the 1994 Unit Option Plan (described below) will vest.
Kenneth M. Poovey, General Counsel of the Partnership, will act in such capacity in return for a monthly payment of $25,000 (plus travel expenses) to his law firm, Latham & Watkins. This arrangement will be reviewed quarterly and adjusted if appropriate. In addition, his firm will also bill the Partnership for the fees and expenses of other professionals employed by such firm who render services to the Partnership at the firm's usual rates.
Brian J. Girvan, a Senior Vice President of the Partnership, has entered into a Severance Agreement with the Partnership which provides that, until his termination date (currently anticipated to be August 31, 1995), he will be paid a salary at his 1995 rate and a bonus (pro-rata based upon his 1994 regular bonus) payable in July and the remainder at termination. He will also be paid a retention bonus pro rata for time worked in 1995 based upon his 1995 base salary, a transition bonus in the range of $50,000 to $100,000 and a severance payment equal to four weeks salary for each year worked starting in 1983. With respect to his options under the 1993 Unit Option Plan, the Class II options with an exercise price of $4.855 vested and are exercisable as of January 20, 1995 and the Class I options with an exercise price of $2.425 vest and become exercisable on June 30, 1995. With respect to his options under the 1994 Unit Option Plan, 50% of his options vest on his termination date.
RESTRICTED UNIT GRANTS TO MANAGEMENT ------------------------------------
The Partnership has a Restricted Unit Plan for the benefit of certain key employees of the Partnership pursuant to which 100,000 Class A Units and 100,000 Class B Units were awarded to William D. Cvengros and 25,000 Class A Units and 25,000 Class B Units were awarded to Steven T. Bailey. No additional Units are available for award under the Restricted Unit Plan. Such Class A Units or Class B Units are forfeited to the General Partner in the event of certain terminations of employment with the Partnership prior to vesting; this arrangement was agreed upon because Class A Units and Class B Units that otherwise would have been issued to the General Partner in the Consolidation were allocated to the Restricted Unit Plan.
OPTION PLANS ------------
The Partnership adopted the 1994 Class B LP Unit Option Plan (the "Option Plan") to provide incentives and rewards to certain key employees of the Partnership and/or the Investment Management Firms. The Option Plan is administered by the Unit Incentive Committee of the Equity Board of the Partnership. Currently there are outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 5,223,000 Class B Units most of which were issued at an exercise price equal to 71.4% of the average trading price of the Partnership's limited partner units for the 20 trading day period prior to the closing of the Consolidation to officers of the Partnership, Managing Directors of the Investment Management Firms and certain other employees. These options generally will vest in five equal annual installments beginning December 31, 1994 and generally are not exercisable until January 1, 1998. Options to purchase an additional 377,000 Class B Units are available under the Option Plan at exercise prices to be determined by the Unit Incentive Committee, which consists of members of the Equity Board who are not eligible to receive grants of options under the Option Plan. As part of the Consolidation, the Chief Executive Officer and two of the Investment Management Firms have the right to recommend to the Unit Incentive Committee the persons to whom an aggregate of 127,000 of such 377,000 remaining options shall be granted.
In addition, 2,442,130 options are outstanding under the Partnership's 1993 Unit Option Plan for the purchase of Class A Units at prices ranging from $2.425 to $4.855 per Class A Unit. It is not expected that any further options will be granted under the 1993 Unit Option Plan.

ITEM 13.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS --------------------------------------------------------
ANTICIPATED FUTURE RESTRUCTURING OF THE PARTNERSHIP
General. Under current law, the Partnership will cease being classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, and will be treated as a corporation, immediately after December 31, 1997 (or sooner if the Partnership adds a substantial new line of business or otherwise fails to satisfy certain requirements) unless the Partnership's limited partner interests cease to be publicly traded prior to such time. As a corporation, the Partnership would be subject to tax on its income and its shareholders would be subject to tax on distributions. In an effort to preserve partnership tax treatment after December 31, 1997 for the nonpublic Unitholders, the Partnership Agreement confers on the General Partner broad authority to effect one or more Restructurings of the Partnership in connection with, or in anticipation of, such a change in tax status.
While the precise form of a Restructuring cannot now be determined and will depend on the facts and circumstances existing at the time a Restructuring is implemented, it is generally expected that, following a Restructuring, public Unitholders will hold their equity participation in the business of the Partnership through publicly traded stock issued by an entity treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, allowing the nonpublic Unitholders to continue to hold their equity participation in the Partnership directly or through some other entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. The Partnership does not currently expect to change its distribution policy following a Restructuring, and it is anticipated that the corporate entity generally would distribute all cash received by it from the Partnership other than cash needed for payment of taxes and operational expenses. Because of federal, state, and other taxes on such entity's income, cash available for dividends to the holders of the corporate entity's publicly traded securities would be substantially less than the cash distributed to the corporate entity by the Partnership. If the Restructuring were carried out in the manner currently anticipated, under current law the amount of such taxes imposed on such entity would be reduced by the entity's carrying over the balance of the amortizable Section 197 Intangibles associated with the publicly traded Class A Units immediately prior to the Restructuring and claiming amortization deductions with respect to such amount. No assurance can be given, however, that the Restructuring will take a form that will allow this result.
While the Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner may impose restrictions on the transfer of Units as part of a Restructuring (which could have the effect of preserving the Partnership's status as a partnership), the General Partner currently believes that trading restrictions will not be necessary to accomplish the Restructuring absent legal or other developments. It is anticipated that the holders of interests in a partnership entity will have the right from time to time to exchange the partnership interests for equity interests in the corporate entity in order to achieve liquidity.
The Restructuring in the form currently anticipated could result in the publicly traded corporation being classified as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act. If the corporation is so classified, the corporation would be required to comply with the terms of the Investment Company Act which, among other things, could entail additional expenditures and restrictions on transactions with affiliates. In order to avoid such status, the General Partner could cause the corporation to become a general partner of the Partnership, in which case the corporation would be jointly and severally liable with the General Partner for obligations of the Partnership.
The federal income tax consequences of a Restructuring will depend upon the final form of the Restructuring and therefore it is not possible to predict the tax consequences of a Restructuring. However, assuming the public Unitholders hold their interest in an entity treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, whether as a result of a Restructuring or by operation of law on January 1, 1998, it is generally expected that the exchange or conversion pursuant to which public Unitholders become treated as shareholders in a corporation for federal income tax purposes will be treated as a tax-free transaction under Code Section 351, provided that certain requirements, some of which are beyond the control of the Partnership and the General Partner, are satisfied. In general if the transaction qualifies under Code Section 351, (i) the holding periods for the shares received by the public Unitholders will include the holding periods for their Class A Units, (ii) the public Unitholders will have an
initial tax basis in their shares equal to their adjusted tax basis in their Class A Units immediately prior to the exchange or conversion (reduced by their share, if any, of Partnership liabilities immediately prior to such exchange or conversion) and (iii) gain (or loss) on disposition of shares of any such corporate entity will be capital gain or loss (long-term or short-term as the case may be).
Restructuring Authority. Because of possible changes in tax law or regulations and other factors, it cannot now be predicted with certainty what actions the General Partner may take in connection with a Restructuring, if any. Section XVIII of the Partnership Agreement confers on the General Partner broad power and authority to take all such actions it may deem necessary or appropriate in connection with, in anticipation of or to effect a Restructuring, without consent of or other action on the part of any other Unitholder and whether or not such actions or omissions may treat public Unitholders differently than nonpublic Unitholders and result in different and more favorable treatment of the nonpublic Unitholders. The Partnership Agreement imposes no obligations on the General Partner to effect any Restructuring and gives the General Partner authority to choose the timing (subject to certain limitations) of a Restructuring. The Partnership Agreement provides no appraisal or similar rights to any Unitholder with respect to any Restructuring, nor does it require that the General Partner obtain an opinion as to the fairness of any Restructuring to the public Unitholders. The General Partner has advised the Partnership that it does not currently contemplate that any such opinion will be delivered to Unitholders at the time of a Restructuring.
The Partnership Agreement provides that, in effecting a Restructuring, the General Partner may not subject any holder of a Unit to liability to Partnership creditors without such holder's consent.
Limited Duty to Unitholders Related to Restructuring. In order to assure that it is clear that the General Partner may effect the anticipated Restructuring in a form which will preserve partnership taxation for the nonpublic Unitholders even though the public Unitholders will be subject to corporate level tax, the Partnership Agreement releases the General Partner and its directors, officers, employees and affiliates from any liability based upon actions taken or omitted to be taken by the General Partner with respect to any Restructuring, to the extent that such actions or omissions may treat public Unitholders differently and less favorably than nonpublic Unitholders. Section 6.13(a) provides that the General Partner shall not be liable for errors in judgment or for breach of fiduciary duty unless it is proved by clear and convincing evidence that the General Partner's action or failure to act involved an act or omission undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the Partnership or was undertaken with reckless disregard for the best interests of the Partnership.
The Partnership is organized under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the "Delaware Act"). Section 17-1101(d) of the Delaware Act expressly provides that, to the extent that at law or in equity, a partner has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to a limited partnership or to another partner, the partner's duties and liabilities may be expanded or restricted by provisions in the partnership agreement. General partners of a Delaware limited partnership have been held in court cases to owe duties of ordinary care and of utmost good faith, fairness and loyalty to the partnership and to the other partners. The effect of Section 6.13 is to substitute the requirement that the General Partner act in good faith for the more comprehensive duties and liabilities that the General Partner would otherwise owe to the Partnership and to any other partner with respect to any Restructuring.
LOSS REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS
As part of the Consolidation, PFAMCo transferred to the Partnership certain assets and liabilities of PFAMCo (excluding the businesses of the Investment Management Firms) (the "PFAMCo Operation"). Until December 31, 1996, PFAMCo has agreed to reimburse the Partnership for losses up to an aggregate of $2 million incurred by the PFAMCo Operation.
In addition, from the date of the Consolidation until the end of 1996, if the Subpartnership conducting the business of Blairlogie (the "Blairlogie Subpartnership") incurs net losses as a result of ordinary business operations, PFAMCo has agreed to pay the amount of such net losses to the Blairlogie Subpartnership. If the Blairlogie Subpartnership subsequently earns net profits as a result of ordinary business operations, 50% of these profits will be paid to PFAMCo until the amount of any loss reimbursement, plus accured interest, has been repaid. The Partnership has retained the right to dispose of or liquidate the Blairlogie Subpartnership without recourse for such advances by PFAMCo after December 31, 1996.
INDEBTEDNESS OF MANAGEMENT
Brent R. Harris and William C. Powers, each a Managing Director of PIMCO and Member of the Operating Board, are indebted to PIMCO for short-term, interest-bearing loans amounting to $88,650 and $91,550, respectively.
OTHER CONFLICTS
Withdrawal and Removal of General Partner. The general partner has agreed that it may withdraw as general partner of the Partnership only if such withdrawal is approved by holders of a majority of the LP Units (other than the general partner and its Affiliates) and if counsel renders an opinion that the limited partners do not lose their limited liability pursuant to Delaware law or the Partnership Agreement (a "Limited Liability Determination"), and provides certain other opinions relating to the status of the Partnership as a partnership for federal income tax purposes (a "Tax Determination") and the continuation of the Partnership's advisory agreements (an "Assignment Determination"). The general partner may be removed by a vote of Unitholders holding 80% or more of all outstanding Units if a successor general partner is appointed, counsel makes a Limited Liability Determination, a Tax Determination and an Assignment Determination and such removal is approved by the successor general partner. However, by virtue of PIMCO GP's ownership of Units, PIMCO GP can veto any such removal. Also, interests in the general partner may be sold or transferred without any prior approval or consent of the holders of Class A Units.
In the event of withdrawal or removal of the general partner, the general partner will have the option to require a successor general partner (if any) to acquire all of the general partner's GP units for a cash payment equal to their fair value as of the effective date of the general partner's departure. Such value will be determined by agreement between the general partner and the successor general partner or, if no agreement is reached, by an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert selected by the general partner and the successor general partner (or if no expert can be agreed upon, by the expert chosen by agreement of each of the experts selected by each such general partner). If the option is not exercised by the general partner, the GP Units of the general partner will be converted into an equal number of Class A Units.
The general partner, TAG Inc., certain affiliates of PIMCO GP and Pacific Mutual and certain individuals have registration rights as to Units that they own or have the right to acquire.
Indemnification. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership will indemnify the general partner or any general partner which has withdrawn or been removed (a "Departing Partner"), any Person (as defined) who is or was an Affiliate of the general partner or any Departing Partner each shareholder of the general partner or of the parent company of the general partner, shareholder or the general partner or of any departing general partner and any member of the Equity Board, Operating Board or Operating Committee, any officer of the Partnership or any of its Investment Management Firms or divisions. The Partnership may also enter into indemnification agreements with certain other Persons.
The Partnership Agreement also provides that neither general partner nor any indemnitee will be liable to the Partnership or the Unitholders for errors in judgment or for breach of fiduciary duty (including breach of any duty of care or any duty of loyalty) unless it is proved by clear and convincing evidence that the general partner's action or failure to act involved an act or omission undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the Partnership or was undertaken with reckless disregard for the best interests of the Partnership.
