Item 1. Business
GENERAL
Comdisco, Inc. (with its subsidiaries, the "Company" or "Comdisco") is primarily engaged in the buying, selling and leasing of new and used computer and other high technology equipment and in providing disaster recovery services (also referred to as "business continuity services"). In addition, the Company provides technology planning and asset management services, integrating leasing and business continuity services with customized asset acquisition, asset management software tools and data center moves and/or consolidations, disposition and migration strategies. These services are designed to provide integrated, long-term, cost effective asset and technological planning to users of high technology equipment.
Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 42 of the Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended September 30, 1995 is incorporated herein by reference (said footnote contains information regarding discontinued operations).
The Company was founded in 1969 and incorporated in Delaware in 1971. The executive offices of the Company are located in the Chicago area, at 6111 North River Road, Rosemont, Illinois 60018, and its telephone number is (708) 698-3000. At September 30, 1995, the Company had approximately 2,100 full-time employees.
The Company does not own any patents, trademarks, licenses, or franchises which would be considered significant to the Company's businesses.
The Company's businesses are not seasonal, however, quarter-to-quarter results from operations can vary significantly.
The amount of backlog orders is not applicable to the Company's businesses.
The Company's operations are conducted through its principal office in the Chicago area and approximately fifty offices in the United States, Canada, Europe and the Pacific Rim. The Company also operates in South America, however, it does not maintain local offices. Subsidiaries in Europe and Canada offer services similar to those offered in the United States, although the Company's European leasing operations are predominately in the computer marketplace. The Company's disaster recovery activities include the domestic, Canadian and European marketplaces.
See "International Operations" on page 30 of the Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995 (which is incorporated herein by reference) for a discussion of the Company's geographic results of operations in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 and Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 46 and 47 of the Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended September 30, 1995, which includes geographic segment and export sales information and is incorporated herein by reference.
LEASING
In its leasing activities, the Company specializes in central processing units, desktop equipment, electronics, telecommunications equipment and, through a subsidiary, medical equipment.
The Company offers its customers alternatives in managing high technology equipment needs, including the leasing of equipment. The Company works closely with its customers to develop strategies governing when and where to acquire equipment, when to upgrade existing equipment and when to order new equipment to take advantage of current technology. The Company also has the ability to act as an outlet for the equipment being displaced.
The Company's customers include "Fortune 1000" corporations or companies of a similar size as well as smaller corporations. A substantial portion of the Company's transactions are with repeat customers. The Company's business is not dependent on any single customer or on any single source for the purchasing, selling or leasing of equipment.
Computer: Central Processing Units: The Company buys or leases, and in turn sells, leases or subleases IBM computer equipment as well as equipment manufactured by others. The Company's sale and lease transactions include the "mainframe" central processing units, midrange, and/or various peripherals, such as printers, tape and disk drives and other equipment used with a mainframe.
The mainframe industry has been characterized by rapid and continuous technological advances permitting broadened user applications. The introduction of new equipment and/or technology by IBM or other manufacturers does not cause existing equipment to become technically obsolete, but usually results in adjustments in the "price/performance ratio" (the number of computations or relative performance per dollar of cost) of the existing equipment. Users upgrade equipment as their existing equipment becomes inappropriate for their needs or as a result of changes in the required amount of data processing capacity. To the extent equipment replaced by newer models becomes available for remarketing, a secondary market in used equipment is created. Recent technological advances in mainframe technology by International Business Machines ("IBM") have focused on "parallel processing" systems. These systems include transaction processing and database server models, designed for both "legacy" and newer technologies in open systems.
See "Leasing" on pages 27 and 28 of the Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995 for a discussion of mainframes and client/server (which is incorporated herein by reference).
The focus of the Company's activities with respect to particular models of computer equipment changes periodically as a result of changes in market conditions and advances in computer technology. During the last eighteen months, the mainframe market has remained strong. Recent announcements by the major manufacturers indicate a backlog in orders. In September, 1994, IBM began shipping the first of its CMOS-based parallel processors, which have been positioned as price-competitive replacements models for pre-1990 IBM mainframes and the Company includes these models in its activities. Additionally, Hitachi Data Systems has announced the "Skyline" family of processors that are expected to begin shipment in late 1995. In addition to mainframes there are technological advances in both direct access storage devices and tape drives. The Company remains an active participant in the mainframe, client/server and related peripheral markets.
Advances in technology affect the market for computer products and may also have an impact on the way the Company conducts its leasing activities.
Desktop: The Company leases PC's and workstations made by most of the leading manufacturers. The Company's lease transactions also include high-end servers,
printers and other desktop related equipment. The Company's integrated asset management software tools let customers order, track and manage their inventory of desktop equipment. The Company has business partnerships and/or vendor leasing programs with major workstation manufacturers.
Other services: In fiscal 1994, the Company formed a systems integration group to address the needs of the developing open systems market, including client/server (client/server computing is a type of processing in which a client requests a service or information from a server that performs the service and/or returns the requested information to the client). The Company provides services and consultants to assist customers in implementing or utilizing an open systems platform. These services, which are designed to complement the company's computer leasing activities, include transitional strategies, integration planning and implementation, financing (hardware and software), and business continuity planning. The Company, together with its consultants and strategic alliances with client/server product providers, provides customers with solutions based on requirements and goals.
The Company's asset management services assist customers in: planning and implementing major data center relocations and consolidations; evaluating information technology needs and system assessments; equipment procurement strategies and timing.
Other High Technology Equipment: Medical: Through its subsidiaries, the Company leases medical and other high technology equipment to healthcare providers, including used, reconditioned medical equipment. The Company's portfolio includes angiography, MRI systems, CT Scanners and nuclear imaging devices. Additionally, the Company has a comprehensive medical equipment refurbishing facility and has earned ISO 9002 certification for its facility.
Electronics: The Company leases new and used electronic manufacturing, testing and monitoring equipment, including semiconductor production equipment, automated test equipment, assembly equipment and scientific/analytical instrumentation. Additionally, the Company maintains a dedicated refurbishing and sales facility in the Silicon Valley area.
Telecommunications: The Company buys, sells, and leases new and refurbished telecommunications equipment throughout North America. The Company also provides its customers with a market for, and a source of, used equipment. The telecommunications portfolio includes PBX systems, VSATs, voice mail, modems and bridges, routers and concentrators. The Company also reconditions and configures used systems.
Other: The Company buys, sells and leases new and used point-of-sale terminals and leases other office equipment such as fax machines and copiers, test equipment such as oscillascopes, analyzers and testers and laboratory equipment such as microscopes and centrifuges.
The Company competes in the leasing marketplace as a lessor and as a dealer of new and used computer and selected other high technology equipment. The Company competes with different firms in each of its activities. The Company's competition includes equipment manufacturers such as IBM, Hewlett Packard, Amdahl, Hitachi Data Systems, AT&T, Rolm, Hitachi Medical Systems, Siemens Medical Systems and General Electric, other equipment dealers, brokers and leasing companies (including captive or related leasing companies of IBM, AT&T and General Electric and others) as well as financial institutions, including commercial banks and investment banking firms. While its competitive methodologies will differ, in general, the Company competes mainly on the basis of its expertise in remarketing equipment, terms offered in its transactions, its reliability in meeting its commitments, its manufacturers' independence and its ability to develop and offer alternative solutions and options to high technology equipment users. The Company believes it is a full service lessor. Primarily as a result of technological changes, competition has increased in the leasing industry and the number of companies offering competitive services, such as asset management and other high technology equipment leasing, has increased. Competitive alliances have also impacted the leasing industry.
In mainframes the Company believes that it competes primarily with the manufacturers and their captive or related leasing companies, if any, and with a few other leasing companies. The Company also believes that, aside from IBM and its captive leasing company, IBM Credit Corp., it is one of the largest purchasers, sellers and lessors of IBM equipment. The Company does not believe that a significant amount of used IBM equipment is sold independently by owner-users of the equipment to other owner-users. The Company's continued ability to compete effectively may be affected by policies of IBM.
In desktop, medical, electronics and telecommunications, the Company believes it competes with the manufacturers and their captive leasing companies and approximately five significant leasing companies, as well as banks and other lessors and financial and lending institutions throughout the United States and Canada. In its other services, the Company competes with manufactures and other national and regional consulting and services organizations.
The Company's continued ability to compete is also affected by its ability to attract and retain well qualified personnel and the availability of financing.
DISASTER RECOVERY SERVICES
These services include emergency data processing backup, principally for large system users of IBM and IBM-compatible equipment, business (end user) recovery, including workarea and voice recovery capabilities, consulting services in business continuity planning, network services and data protection, as well as other related data processing services, throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. These services are designed to help minimize the impact of a significant interruption of the operations of, or inaccessibility to, the customer's data processing facility and/or communications network. The Company also provides backup capabilities for Digital Equipment Corporation, IBM midrange processors, Unisys, Hewlett Packard, Stratus, and Tandem System equipment users.
The Company believes that it competes with approximately two significant domestic companies, IBM and SunGard Data Systems, Inc., as well as other regional firms in the domestic, Canadian and European marketplace, which provide contract disaster recovery services and that it is the largest international provider of such services.
Through its network and facilities strategy entitled CDRS Net, the Company offers customers access to its North American facilities, including a range of data processing recovery services at hot sites, Customer Control Centers ("CCC") and shell sites. Hot sites are equipped computer facilities that include central processing units, peripherals and communications equipment. A CCC interfaces customers to geographically separated hot sites by means of telecommunications lines. Most facilities also include workarea, voice, and network capabilities. Capabilities also include client/server platforms and midrange systems.
Of the Company's thirty-one locations, nine serve as data center recovery environments providing hot site and/or shell site services. These nine regional recovery centers serve major commercial centers, including New York, Chicago, Northern and Southern California, Texas, Georgia, as well as a location in Southern New Jersey that serves the Mid-Atlantic region and a center located in Toronto, Canada. Each recovery center has at least one hot site or CCC and
includes telecommunications capabilities, conference rooms, office space, support areas, and appropriate on-site technical personnel.
Item 2.

Item 2. Properties
The Company owns its principal executive office building in Rosemont, Illinois that has approximately 269,000 square feet, and has pledged the property as part of a mortgage agreement. The Company leases office space for sales offices in various domestic and international locations. The Company's technical services division utilizes a 250,000 square foot building owned by the Company in Schaumburg, Illinois. This space is used primarily for refurbishing, maintenance and equipment storage. The Company's disaster recovery services division presently occupies eight recovery centers owned by the Company, including 151,000 square feet in Illinois, 34,000 square feet in Texas, 42,000 square feet in Georgia, 56,000 square feet in Toronto, Canada, two recovery centers each in New Jersey of 81,000 and 72,000 square feet, and California of 52,000 and 38,000 square feet. The Company's disaster recovery services division also leases 255,000, 14,000 and 10,000 square feet in New Jersey, Missouri, and Canada, respectively. Existing Company-owned facilities can be enlarged and expanded as required to support additional growth. The Company's disaster recovery services division also owns and leases facilities in several European countries. The Company's medical refurbishment subsidiary leases approximately 100,000 square feet in Wood Dale, Illinois. The Company's electronic group leases approximately 35,000 square feet in San Jose, California, to be used primarily for refurbishing, maintenance and equipment storage.

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
STOCK SPLIT
On November 7, 1995, the Board of Directors authorized a three-for-two split of the Company's common stock to be distributed on December 8, 1995, to holders of record on November 17, 1995. Accordingly, all references in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders' for the year ended September 30, 1995 and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1995 to common share data have been adjusted to reflect the split.
PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK
Price Range of Common Stock on page 30 of the Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended September 30, 1995 is incorporated herein by reference.
COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
During fiscal 1995, the company purchased 5,260,167 shares of its outstanding common stock at an aggregate cost of $86 million. These purchases, when added to the shares purchased in prior years, bring the total number of common shares purchased to 24.1 million (1.5 million shares were issued upon conversion of a 6% convertible subordinated promissory note in fiscal 1995 and an additional 2.9 million shares were distributed as a common stock dividend on March 30, 1992), at an aggregate cost of $283 million. At September 30, 1995, the company had a remaining authorization of approximately $16 million to purchase common stock. An additional 760,200 shares of common stock were purchased between September 30, 1995 and November 7, 1995 at a cost of $14 million. On November 7, 1995, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $50 million for the company's stock repurchase program.
SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN
On November 18, 1987, the Board adopted a shareholders rights plan and pursuant thereto declared a dividend distribution of one Right for each outstanding share of common stock of the Company to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 27, 1987 (the "Record Date"). The shareholder rights plan was amended and restated as of November 7, 1994. Each Right entitles the registered holder under certain circumstances to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at a Purchase Price of $63.49, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The Purchase Price is to be paid in cash. The Rights become exercisable if (i) a person or group (other than any holder of 20% or more of the common stock on the Record Date and its successors) (an "Acquiring Person") becomes the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the outstanding common stock (and the Company does not redeem the Rights within 15 days thereafter), (ii) a person or group makes a tender or exchange offer which upon consummation would result in such person or group beneficially owning 15% or more of the common stock (and the Company does not redeem the Rights within 15 days thereafter) or (iii) the Board of Directors determines that a beneficial owner of 10% or more of the common stock is an Adverse Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement). Upon the occurrence of any such event, each Right (other than those held by an Acquiring Person or Adverse Person) will become exercisable for one share of common stock at an adjusted Purchase Price equal to 20% of the then market price of the common stock. The terms of the Rights are set forth in the amended and restated Rights Agreement, dated as of November 7, 1994 (the "Rights Agreement"), between the Company and Chemical Bank, N.A. (formerly Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company), as Rights Agent. The Rights Agreement and a related form of the rights certificate is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 4.04 filed with the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on December 6, 1994, File No. 1-7725. The foregoing description of the shareholder rights plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
DIVIDENDS
The Company has paid cash dividends quarterly since February 1979. Cash dividends paid on common stock were $13 million in both fiscal 1995 and 1994. The most recently declared quarterly common stock cash dividend, $.07 per share, was paid on December 8, 1995 to stockholders of record on November 17, 1995. Subject to the prior right of the holders of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, there are no restrictions on the Company's present or future ability to pay common dividends, except its agreement to maintain a debt to net worth ratio pursuant to, and certain other limitations contained in, the Company's multi-option and global revolving credit agreements, none of which have any current application. The Company expects to continue its policy of paying regular cash dividends, although there is no assurance as to future dividends because they are dependent upon the Company's profit levels and capital requirements as well as financial and other conditions existing at the time. Common stock cash dividends paid were $.24 per share in fiscal 1995 and $.23 per share in fiscal 1994.
