                 NOTE TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                 ---------------------------------------

     The attached condensed financial information has been prepared
in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, does
not include all financial note information which might be necessary
for a fair presentation in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Such condensed financial information is
unaudited, but in the opinion of management, includes all adjust-
ments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and
accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the
periods indicated. The net income reported for the periods should
not necessarily be regarded as indicative of net income on an
annualized basis; however, significant variations from the results
for the same period of the previous year, if any, have been
disclosed in the accompanying management's discussion and analysis.

                 Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                 ---------------------------------------

              Financial Condition and Results of Operations
              ---------------------------------------------


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

    The working capital ratio at June 30, 1994 was 2.1 to 1 as compared to
2.0 to 1 at December 31, 1993, reflecting the continuation of an adequate
level of liquidity necessary to support operations.  The company's net cash
position (cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments less
short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt and capital
lease) declined $11.9 million during the first six months of 1994.  This
was due primarily to a cash investment of approximately $3.5 million in a
joint venture, cash outlays of about $1.5 million related to the company's
1993 repositioning program and increased short-term borrowings in the U.S.
associated with (i) seasonal cash needs, (ii) the replacement of maturing
long-term obligations with short-term debt, (iii) increases in non-cash
(primarily accounts receivable) working capital.  Working capital increased
$1.2 million in the first half of 1994 mainly as a result of the
aforementioned increases in non-cash working capital.

    On March 24, 1994, the formation of the above-noted joint venture with
Fluid Recycling Services was completed.  In addition to the initial
contribution, additional investments are expected over the next few years
based on the growth of the venture.

Comparison of Six Months 1994 with Six Months 1993
- --------------------------------------------------

    Consolidated net sales for the first half of 1994 decreased $7.3
million (7%) while comparative income from operations improved $.8 million
(12%) versus the first half of 1993.  The decrease in sales was due to a 2%
reduction associated with currency translation; a decline of 1% from price
and product mix; and a 4% decrease associated with the net result of
acquisitions and divestitures.  The company's major markets continue to be
characterized by customers focused on increasing efficiencies in the usage
of chemical products and lowering their costs by demanding more value-added
services and exerting price pressures on suppliers.  In addition, there are
signs that raw material prices for many commodity chemicals are starting to
rise.  Operating conditions in the United States appear to be sustainable
at the present pace at least into early 1995.  In Europe, some positive
trends have been apparent, but the timing of an overall recovery is
difficult to predict.  Continued improvement in operating results during
1994 is largely dependent on both the timing of the European economic
recovery and the acceleration of the effectiveness of the company's
service activities in the United States.


                                  - 8 -



    Operating margins as a percentage of sales improved in the first half
of 1994 when compared to the corresponding period in 1993 as improved sales
mix, lower raw material costs, and cost savings associated with the
company's 1993 repositioning program offset the negative leverage effect of
fixed costs on reduced sales volume.  The after-tax financial benefit
generated in the first half of 1994 due to the 1993 repositioning program
was approximately $.05 per share in each quarter.  Other income rose
primarily as a result of increased royalty income.  Interest income
declined due to lower cash holdings by the company.  The effective tax rate
in the first half of 1994 decreased 6% when compared to the first half of
1993 due in large part to the negative influence on the prior year rate of
non-deductible expenses related to both goodwill and a second quarter
repositioning charge.  The decrease in equity in net income from associated
companies was primarily due to lower earnings from the company's Japanese
affiliate which is being hampered by sluggish demand in the Japanese steel
industry and business development investments in the joint venture
mentioned above.  The negative influence of currency translation on first
half 1994 net income was $.02 per share.

Comparison of Second Quarter 1994 with Second Quarter 1993
- ----------------------------------------------------------

    Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 1994 decreased $4.0
million (8%) while comparative income from operations improved $.9 million
(30%) versus the second quarter of 1993.  The decrease in sales was
primarily due to an 8% decrease associated with the net result of
acquisitions and divestitures as volume improvements of 2% were offset by a
decline of 1% each from price and product mix, and currency translation.

    The operating margin improvement in the second quarter of 1994 over
1993 resulted from more favorable sales mix and cost savings associated
with the company's 1993 repositioning program.  The reasons for the change
in Other Income, Interest Income and the effective tax rate in the second
quarter 1994 versus 1993 are basically the same as the six-month period.
