Note 1
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
adjustments, 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 (see accompanying Management's Discussion
and Analysis-Other Significant Items); 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
Net cash flow provided by operating activities amounted to $1.8 million in
the first half of 1998 compared to $2.9 million in the same period of 1997. The
decrease was principally due to changes in working capital offset by the timing
of payments related to the 1996 repositioning program.
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)
decreased $14.5 million primarily as a result of cash required as part of the
formation of a majority owned joint venture in Brazil, the acquisition of a
small business in Italy, and changes in working capital. The current ratio
decreased to 1.9 to 1 at June 30, 1998 as compared to 2.1 to 1 at December 31,
1997 due principally to the decrease in the Company's net cash position. On June
25, 1998, the formation of the above mentioned joint venture with Siderquimica
Ltda. and acquisition were completed. In addition to the initial contribution,
certain earn out provisions may require additional investments. The acquisition
and the cash consideration the Company paid to obtain majority control of the
joint venture resulted in approximately $6.5 million of goodwill which is being
amortized over 20 years.
Operations
Comparison of Six Months 1998 with Six Months 1997
Consolidated net sales for the first half of 1998 increased by 7% over the
first half of 1997. The increase in sales was the net result of a 10% increase
in volume (steel, metalworking, and aircraft producer markets), a 1% increase
due to pricing initiatives and sales mix, offset by a 4% decrease due to foreign
currency translation rates.
Operating income improved 33% to $10.7 million as compared to $8.1 million
(excluding the $2.6 million gain on the European pulp and paper business) in the
same period of 1997. The improvement was mainly attributable to the higher level
of sales and expanded gross margins. The Company's gross profit margin as a
percentage of sales increased 1.1% primarily as a result of an improved sales
mix and generally stable raw material costs. Selling, administrative and general
expenses as a percentage of sales decreased 0.5% as compared to 1997 due to the
upside operating leverage provided at the higher sales level.
The decrease in other income was due to the absence of unusually high
favorable transactional exchange gains in 1997. Minority interest increased as a
result of improved performances by the Company's consolidated joint ventures in
China and Australia and earnings from the Company's consolidated joint venture
in India which was formed in the fourth quarter of 1997. Basic earnings per
share of $.73 were 14% higher than the prior year (excluding the gain on the
sale of the European pulp and paper business) despite a negative foreign
currency translation impact of approximately $.05 per share due to the
strengthening of the dollar, primarily against the Dutch guilder.
10
Comparison of Second Quarter 1998 with Second Quarter 1997
Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 1998 increased by 8% over
the first half of 1997. The increase in sales was the net result of a 9%
increase in volume (steel, metalworking, and aircraft producer markets), a 2%
increase due to pricing initiatives and sales mix, offset by a 3% decrease due
to foreign currency translation rates.
The reasons for changes in operating margin percentages, other income, and
equity in net income of associated companies in the second quarter 1998 versus
the second quarter 1997 are basically the same as those previously mentioned for
the comparative six-month periods. Basic earnings per share of $.40 were 18%
higher than the prior year (excluding the gain on the sale of the European pulp
and paper business) despite a negative foreign currency translation impact of
approximately $.02 per share due to the strengthening of the dollar, primarily
against the Dutch guilder.
Other Significant Items:
The Company is actively engaged in assessing and solving its Year 2000
problem. Historically, certain computer programs have been written using two
digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year. Any of the
Company's programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, which could result in
miscalculations or system failures. The Company has completed an assessment of
its key systems (both IT and non-IT systems) and expects to have these compliant
on a timely basis. Expenditures (historical and future) to be incurred in
addressing any Year 2000 problems in the Company's systems are not expected to
be material and are currently estimated to be approximately $750 thousand.
Furthermore, the Company is also actively seeking from its third-party providers
written assurances that each will be Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis. To
date, the Company has received affirmative responses from a majority of its
third-party providers and will pursue additional responses from its material
third-party providers who have failed to respond to the initial enquiry. In
addition, the Company will also be seeking similar assurance as to Year 2000
compliance from its key customers.
During 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 131 - Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.
SFAS No. 131 is effective in 1998. The Company is currently assessing the impact
this new standard will have on its financial statements. SFAS No. 131 requires
the disclosure of segment information utilizing the approach that the Company
uses to manage its internal organization. Also, SFAS No. 131 requires the
reporting of segment information on a condensed basis for interim periods
beginning in 1999.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The
standard is effective January 1, 2000. It is not expected that the adoption of
this standard will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition.
Forward Looking and Cautionary Statements
Except for the historical information and discussions contained herein,
statements contained in this Form 10-Q may constitute 'forward looking
statements' within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. These statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected in such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, significant increase in raw material costs, worldwide economic and
political conditions, and foreign currency fluctuations that may affect
worldwide results of operations. Furthermore, the Company is subject to the
same business cycles as those experienced by those manufacturers and their
customers (the majority of which are automobile, appliance, or durable good
manufactures or in the construction industry).
