(1) The table does not include awards of 23,242 and 12,992 in Series 1 awards (at maximum) in fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 8,661 (at maximum) in Series 2 awards in fiscal year 2012, all of which were forfeited during the nine months ended April 30, 2014.

(2) The percentage vesting for the 2014 performance shares award is based on the target award, which is 66.67% of the maximum award. The expected percentage of vesting is currently estimated at 60% of the target award for the fiscal year 2014 Award.

Series 1: For the fiscal year 2014 awards, vesting is subject to performance requirements composed of certain objectives including average annual return on invested capital and annual compound growth rate in the Company’s earnings per share. The percentage of vesting for the Fiscal Year 2014 award is based on the target award, which is at 66.67% of the maximum award. For the fiscal year 2013 awards, vesting is subject to performance requirements composed of certain objectives including average annual return on invested capital and annual compound growth rate in the Company’s diluted earnings per share. For the fiscal year 2012 award, vesting for the Series 1 awards is subject to a performance requirement composed of certain earnings per share or revenue growth objectives and average annual return on invested capital measured across a three year period. These objectives are measured quarterly using the Company’s budget, actual results and long-term projections. For each of the Series 1 awards, the expected percentage of vesting is evaluated through April 30, 2014, and reflects the percentage of shares projected to vest for the respective awards at the end of their measurement periods.

Series 2: Vesting for the Series 2 awards is subject to performance requirements pertaining to the growth rate in the Company’s basic earnings per share over a three year period. The achievement of performance requirements is measured quarterly using the Company’s budget, actual results and long-term projections. For fiscal year 2012 awards, the expected percentage of vesting is evaluated through April 30, 2014, and reflects the percentage of shares projected to vest for the respective awards at the end of their measurement periods.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of performance awards outstanding was $16.47 and $17.66 at April 30, 2014 and August 1, 2013, respectively.

The table does not include certain performance-based awards granted to Christopher T. Fraser on February 25, 2014. Such grants to Mr. Fraser included (i) a performance-based Series 3 award for 10,000 shares of common stock (at maximum) having the same performance requirement as those of the 2014 Series 3 awards, and (ii) a performance-based Series 3 award for 4,000 shares of common stock (at maximum) having certain personal objectives as a performance requirement, and in each case such awards vest and are measured over a one year period beginning August 1, 2013 and ending July 31, 2014. As of April 30, 2014, the Series 3 award granted to Mr. Fraser is not expected to vest and the Series 3 award based on personal objectives is expected to vest at 100%.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the performance-based awards granted for fiscal year 2014 was $14.88. The expected percentage of vesting and the percentage of shares projected to vest for the respective awards at the end of their measurement periods are evaluated quarterly.

A summary of activity for time-based stock awards for the nine months ended April 30, 2014 is presented below:

	Shares			Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Non-vested on August 1, 2013		—
Granted(1)		72,868		$	18.84
Vested(2)		(21,268	)		18.29
Non-vested on April 30, 2014		51,600			19.06

(1) Includes 21,600 shares granted to certain executives and employees on February 25, 2014 which generally vest over one, two or three year service periods from the grant date or commencement of their employment. Additionally, the Company granted a time-based award for 30,000 shares to Christopher T. Fraser, when he became the Company’s full-time President and CEO on September 24, 2013. These time-based shares vest in equal installments of 6,000 shares each over one, two, three, four and five years, respectively, from the date of grant. Compensation expense will be recorded over the vesting period using the straight-line method. The September 24, 2013 grant date fair value was approximately $662,000 using the Company’s closing stock price of $22.07 on the grant date.

(2) Reflects 5,760 shares, 6,380 shares, 4,000 shares and 5,128 shares granted to non-employee directors on April 30, 2014, January 31, 2014, October 31, 2013 and August 27, 2013 respectively, for service for the three months ended April 30, 2014, the three months ended January 31, 2014, the two months ended October 31, 2013 and the three months ended August 31, 2013, respectively. The shares vest on the date of grant and the Company recognizes compensation expense related to the awards over the respective service periods in accordance with GAAP.

Mr. Fraser was granted 50,000 shares upon becoming President and CEO. The shares vested on the date of grant on September 24, 2013, and the Company recognized compensation expense of the grant date fair value of $1.1 million based on the closing stock price on that date.

The Company’s board of directors granted 4,900 shares and 1,000 shares of common stock to certain employees on February 25, 2014 and April 8, 2014, respectively. These shares were vested on the date of grant and related compensation expense of the grant-date fair value of approximately $90,000, based on the closing stock price at respective grant dates, was recognized during the three months ended April 30, 2014.

The total fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $1.6 million and $363,000, respectively.

10. Long-Term Debt

The Company’s debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

	April 30, 2014		July 31, 2013
	(Amounts in thousands)
Senior secured debt:
Note purchase agreement, maturing on December 31, 2014, interest rate of 7.43%	$	20,000	$	20,000
Revolving loan facility, maturing on April 30, 2018, variable interest rates based on LIBOR plus 2.00% at April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013		52,000		65,000
Total debt		72,000		85,000
Current maturities of long-term debt		20,000		—
Long-term debt, net of current maturities	$	52,000	$	85,000

To finance the acquisition of the electronic chemicals business in December 2007, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement and a note purchase agreement. The amended and restated credit agreement is now with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and with Bank of America, N.A. The note purchase agreement is now with The Prudential Insurance Company of America and Pruco Life Insurance Company.

Initially, the amended and restated credit agreement included a revolving loan facility and a term loan facility. The term loan was paid off in fiscal year 2012, and that aspect of the facility has been removed. The Company amended these facilities several times, most recently in April and in May 2013 to increase the amount that may be borrowed under the revolving loan up to $110.0 million, to include an accordion feature that allows for an additional revolving loan increase of up to $25.0 million from current or additional lenders willing to participate, to extend the maturity date of the revolving loan facility to April 30, 2018, and to include a mandatory reduction in revolving loan commitment of $10.0 million each year from September 30, 2014 to September 30, 2017 totaling $40.0 million. The matrix for the calculation of interest payable on the revolving loan facility and the method for the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio were also revised.

The revolving loan bears interest at a varying rate of LIBOR plus a margin based on our funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).

Ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA	Margin
Equal to or greater than 2.5 to 1.0		2.25	%
Equal to or greater than 2.0 to 1.0, but less than 2.5 to 1.0		2.00	%
Equal to or greater than 1.5 to 1.0, but less than 2.0 to 1.0		1.75	%
Less than 1.5 to 1.0		1.50	%

Advances outstanding under the revolving loan bear interest at 2.15% and 1.69% as of April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013, respectively. The amount outstanding on the revolving loan at April 30, 2014 was $52.0 million, and an additional $3.5 million is reserved for outstanding letters of credit. The amount that may be borrowed under the revolving facility is limited by a covenant for funded debt to pro-forma earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation, and at April 30, 2014 that limitation restricts the Company’s borrowing capacity to $19.9 million.

The note purchase agreement is for $20.0 million. Advances under the note purchase agreement mature on December 31, 2014, and bear interest at 7.43% per annum. Principal is payable at maturity. At April 30, 2014, $20.0 million was outstanding under the note purchase agreement.

Loans under the amended and restated credit agreement and the note purchase agreement are secured by the Company’s assets, including inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, intangible assets, and real property. The credit facility and the note purchase agreement have restrictive covenants, including that the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 or greater, a ratio of funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (as adjusted for extraordinary items, with lender consent) of 3.0 to 1.0 or below, and a current ratio of at least 1.5 to 1.0.

11. Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the interim periods was computed using the effective tax rate based on the application of an estimated annual effective income tax rate applied to year-to-date income before income tax expense. In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, we analyze various factors, including forecasts of projected annual earnings and the ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carry forwards. The overall effective income tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2014 is 34.9% and 110.5%, respectively, primarily due to the valuation allowances recorded during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 against the Company’s current and prior period operating losses for its Italian subsidiary, as a result of the restructuring of those operations. Excluding the Italian results, the estimated annual effective tax rate on ordinary income is 31.3% and 32.0% for the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2014, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2013, the overall effective rate was 26.2% and 34.1%. In general, differences between the effective tax rates and the rate of 35.0%, excluding for the effect of restructuring charges and operational results in Italy, are primarily due to foreign and state income taxes, and the distribution of income between the U.S. and foreign operations. In addition, the Company recognized $190,000 of discrete items benefits in the three months ended April 30, 2014.

12. Litigation and Other Contingencies

The Company is subject to contingencies, including litigation relating to environmental laws and regulations, commercial disputes and other matters. Certain of these contingencies are discussed below. The ultimate resolution of these contingencies is subject to significant uncertainty, and should the Company fail to prevail in any of them or should several of them be resolved against the Company in the same reporting period, these matters could, individually or in the aggregate, be material to the consolidated financial statements. The ultimate outcome of these matters, however, cannot be determined at this time, nor can the amount of any potential loss be reasonably estimated, and as a result except where indicated no amounts have been recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company records legal costs associated with loss contingencies as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

A lawsuit was filed against the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, KMG de Mexico, relating to the title to the land on which its facility in Matamoros is located. The plaintiffs claim that their title to the land is superior to the person from whom our subsidiary bought the land. The plaintiffs are seeking to have our subsidiary’s purchase overturned, and to recover the land and certain improvements or their value. The lawsuit was initially filed in 1998 in Matamoros, Mexico underAdolfo Cazares Rosas, et al vs. KMG de Mexico and Guillermo Villarreal. In January 2008, the case was sent by the appeals court back to the lower court to obtain additional factual information, and on April 20, 2009 the plaintiffs were required to re-file the case in the First Civil Court in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico asAdolfo Cazares, Luis Escudero and Juan Cue vs. KMG de Mexico and Guillermo Villarreal. In June 2011 the lower court ruled against KMG de Mexico, and held that the plaintiffs had superior title to the land, but that verdict was overturned on appeal in May 2012, and the case will be returned to the trial court for further action. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend KMG de Mexico.

The Company’s subsidiary in Italy has filed suit in the Provincial Tax Court in Milan, Italy to contest assessments by the taxing authority in Italy pertaining to the three year period ended July 31, 2011. In the aggregate, the amount of the assessments, including interest and penalties, is €1.8 million. If all the adjustments are sustained, the additional liability for the years 2009 through 2011 would total approximately $2.4 million, including interest and penalties through April 30, 2014 (at an exchange rate of 1.36 $/€). The Company recorded a liability for an uncertain tax position for items in the amount of $437,000. The Company intends to vigorously pursue its position before the court, but the ultimate outcome of this litigation is subject to uncertainty.

The Company’s subsidiary in Italy has filed suit in the Provincial Court in Milan, Italy to contest the assessment of additional registration tax against the Company’s subsidiary in Italy based on an increased valuation of assets purchased from Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. in December 2007. The amount of the assessment, including interest and penalties through April 30, 2014, is €784,000 (or approximately $1.1 million, at an exchange rate of 1.36 $/€). The ultimate outcome of this assessment is subject to uncertainty.

The Company is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations and potential liabilities relating to the protection of the environment and human health and safety including, among other things, the cleanup of contaminated sites, the treatment, storage and disposal of wastes, the emission of substances into the air or waterways, and various health and safety matters. The Company expects to incur substantial costs for ongoing compliance with such laws and regulations. The Company may also face governmental or third-party claims, or otherwise incur costs, relating to cleanup of, or for injuries resulting from, contamination at sites associated with past and present operations. The Company accrues for environmental liabilities when a determination can be made that they are probable and reasonably estimable.

13. Restructuring Events

In October 2013, the Company announced that as part of global restructuring of its electronic chemicals operations, the Fremont, California manufacturing site acquired in the acquisition from OM Group will be closed, and production shifted primarily to the Company’s Hollister, California and Pueblo, Colorado facilities. In November 2013, the Company announced that it will close a facility in Milan, Italy, and shift production to facilities in France and the United Kingdom. The Company will continue to operate the warehouse facility in Milan. The Company estimates that restructuring charges, exclusive of accelerated depreciation, will range between $7.0 million and $9.0 million cumulatively over fiscal years 2014 and 2015, and that accelerated depreciation with respect to the closed facilities will be approximately $4.0 million over those two fiscal years.

At April 30, 2014, the accrued liability associated with restructuring and other related charges consisted of the following:

	Employee Costs			Decommissioning and Environmental		Non-Cash Accelerated Depreciation		Other			Total
Charges	$	2,629		$	710	$	1,719	$	34		$	5,092
Payments		(273	)		—		—		—			(273	)
Adjustment		30			5		22		(6	)		51
Accrued liability at April 30, 2014		2,386			715		1,741		28			4,870

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We manufacture, formulate and distribute specialty chemicals globally. We operate businesses engaged in electronic chemicals and industrial wood treating chemicals. Our electronic chemicals are sold to the semiconductor industry, where they are used primarily to clean and etch silicon wafers in the production of semiconductors. Our wood treating chemicals, pentachlorophenol (“penta”) and creosote are used by our industrial customers primarily to extend the useful life of utility poles and railroad crossties.

Acquisition

We completed our acquisition of the ultra pure chemicals (“UPC”) business subsidiaries of OM Group, Inc., in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. The purchase price was $62.6 million. The UPC subsidiaries sell high purity, wet process chemicals to the semiconductor industry.

Restructuring

In October 2013, we announced that, as part of global restructuring of our electronic chemicals operations, we would close our Fremont, California manufacturing site acquired in the UPC acquisition, and shift production primarily to our Hollister, California and Pueblo, Colorado facilities. As planned, we ceased production at the Fremont facility, and expect to complete site decommissioning by the end of the fiscal year. In November 2013, we announced that we would close a facility in Milan, Italy, and shift production to our facilities in France and the United Kingdom. We will continue to operate our warehouse facility in Milan. We have begun decommissioning certain manufacturing equipment in Milan, and have started to transition products from there to other sites in Europe. Overall, the consolidation of our global operations remains on schedule. Total costs related to restructuring accrued for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2014 was approximately $1.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively. See Note 13 to the financial statements included in this report. We estimate that restructuring charges, exclusive of accelerated depreciation, will range between $7.0 million and $9.0 million cumulatively over fiscal years 2014 and 2015, and that accelerated depreciation with respect to the closed facilities will be approximately $4.0 million over those two fiscal years.

Results of Operations

Three and Nine Month Periods Ended April 30, 2014 compared with the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended April 30, 2013

Segment Net Sales

Segment data is presented for our two reportable segments for the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2014 and 2013. The segment data should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

	Three Months Ended April 30,				Nine Months Ended April 31,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
	(Amounts in thousands)
Sales
Electronic chemicals	$	61,542	$	36,333	$	187,422	$	111,487
Wood treating chemicals		22,851		23,525		74,710		70,408
Total sales for reportable segments	$	84,393	$	59,858	$	262,132	$	181,895

Net Sales

Net sales for reportable segments increased $24.5 million, or 41.0%, to $84.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 from $59.9 million for the same period of the prior year. For the nine months ended April 30, 2014, net sales for reportable segments increased $80.2 million, or 44.1%, to $262.1 million from $181.9 million in the prior year period. The increase in net sales was because of the UPC acquisition in our electronic chemicals segment.

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, the electronic chemicals segment had net sales of $61.5 million, an increase of $25.2 million, or 69.4%, as compared to $36.3 million for the prior year period. For the nine month periods, net sales in the electronic chemicals segment increased $75.9 million, or 68.1%, to $187.4 million from $111.5 million. Net sales in both the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal year 2014 increased over the prior year periods, because of the UPC acquisition. That acquisition has allowed us to expand our global presence, and expand our ability to serve a broader spectrum of our semiconductor customers’ requirements.

Net sales of wood treating chemicals decreased $674,000, or 2.9%, to $22.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to $23.5 million for the prior year period. For the nine month comparison, net sales in the wood treating segment increased $4.3 million, or 6.1%, to $74.7 million from $70.4 million, because of a greater volume of creosote shipments to customers that service the crosstie market. Although our creosote volume increased, demand for creosote is impacted by customers continuing to pre-treat railroad ties with borate to increase the service life of the crosstie. This practice has the effect of reducing the amount of creosote used to treat the tie, and Class I railroads intend to continue purchasing a portion of their ties with the borate treatment. Penta product sales declined approximately $1.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, and declined $2.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2014. Penta sales were down primarily on lower pricing for hydrochloric acid that is a byproduct of penta production. Penta sales in the Southeast remained weak due to limited timber availability and the absence of severe weather conditions.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by $8.4 million, or 51.6%, to $24.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 from $16.3 million in the same quarter of the prior year. For the nine month period, gross profit increased $23.4 million or 44.8%, to $75.5 million from $52.1 million in the prior year period. The increase in aggregate gross profit for the quarter and the nine months period was due to sales attributable to the UPC acquisition. Gross profit as a percentage of sales improved to 29.3% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 from 27.3% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, while gross profit as a percentage of sales was flat for the nine month periods ended April 30, 2014 and 2013. The increase in consolidated gross profit in the quarterly and nine month comparisons came from increased gross profit in our electronic chemicals segment, despite declines of about 13.0% in gross profits for each of the comparable periods in our wood treating chemicals business.

Other companies may include certain costs that we record in cost of sales as distribution expenses or selling, general and administrative expenses, and may include certain of the costs that we record in distribution expenses or selling, general and administrative expenses as a component of cost of sales, resulting in a lack of comparability between our gross profit and that reported by other companies.

17

Distribution Expenses

Distribution expenses were up by $5.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 to $12.0 million from $6.4 million in the prior year period, an 87.1% increase. Distribution expenses were approximately 14.2% and 10.7% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively. Distribution expenses for the nine month periods ending April 30, 2014 and 2013 were $37.0 million and $19.4 million, respectively, an increase of $17.6 million, or 90.9%, in fiscal year 2014 over the prior year period. Distribution expense as percent of revenue of the nine month periods ending April 30, 2014 and 2013 were 14.1% and 10.6% of net sales, respectively. Distribution expense is heavily concentrated in our electronic chemicals business, and the increases in the quarterly and nine month comparisons for that expense in fiscal year 2014 reflect greater volume shipments from UPC-related sales and from expenses for chemical management operations in Singapore. Distribution expense in our Singapore operations were 34.0% of sales in the three months ended April 30, 2014, due to personnel costs in chemical management operations.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $3.2 million, or 58.0%, to $8.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 from $5.6 million in the same quarter of fiscal year 2013. Those expenses were 10.4% and 9.3% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the nine month period, those expenses increased $11.0 million, or 60.6%, to $29.1 million from $18.1 million. Approximately 49.0% and 43.0% of the increase in selling, general and administrative expense in the three and nine months ending April 30, 2014, respectively, as compared with the prior year periods, was attributable to the acquired UPC business, and approximately 31.0% and 27.0% of the increase in the fiscal year 2014 periods over the prior year periods was due to higher professional services, employee-related costs and integration expenses for our UPC acquisition. For the nine months ended April 30, 2014, approximately 12.0% of the increase over the prior year period was due to CEO transition expense. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2014 selling, general and administrative expenses increased over the prior year period, by $1.5 million in professional services, $1.3 million of stock-based compensation expense related to our new CEO, and by $2.0 million of other employee related costs. In the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2013, we incurred $80,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, of acquisition-related expense for the UPC acquisition that we were then pursuing.

Segment Income from Operations

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, operating income in the electronic chemicals segment was $3.2 million, an increase of $197,000, or 6.1%, as compared to $3.0 million for the prior year period. The improvement in the quarterly comparison was due to the effect of the UPC acquisition electronic chemicals business. This increase was partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $1.6 million. For the nine month period, operating income in the electronic chemicals segment decreased $971,000, or 9.3%, to $9.5 million from $10.5 million. The decrease in the nine month comparison was due primarily to increased depreciation and amortization of $5.0 million, partially offset by operating profits from the acquired UPC business.

In our wood treating chemicals segment, operating income decreased approximately $454,000, or 17.8%, to $2.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to $2.6 million for the prior year period. For the nine month period, operating income in the wood treating segment decreased $2.4 million or 29.8%, to $5.7 million from $8.1 million. Operating income in wood treating chemicals was down in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 and for the nine months due to lower pricing of the hydrochloric acid that is a byproduct of penta production and lower penta sales in the Southeast. Although creosote volume improved in the quarter and in the nine month period over the prior year, we experienced lower pricing and higher logistics costs, including cleaning costs in the second quarter for a barge that was returned to its owner.

Other corporate expenses are not allocated to segments in calculating a segment’s income from operations. Other corporate expense primarily represents employee stock-based compensation expenses and those public entity expenses such as board compensation, audit expense, fees related to the listing of our stock, and expenses incurred to pursue potential acquisition opportunities. See Note 9 to the financial statements included in this report. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2014, respectively, other corporate expense includes $1.5 million and $3.3 million for professional services, $300,000 and $1.5 million for stock based compensation. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2013, respectively, other corporate expense includes $750,000 and $2.0 million for professional services and $50,000 and $100,000 for stock based compensation

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense was $926,000 and $388,000 in the third quarter of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively, and was $2.3 million and $1.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increases in the periods were due to greater amounts outstanding on our revolving loan facility borrowed to consummate our UPC acquisition in May 2013.

Income Taxes

The overall effective income tax rate for the three and nine month period ended April 30, 2014 was 34.9% and 110.5%, respectively, primarily due to restructuring charges and operational results in Italy for which we will not be able to realize a tax benefit. With the consolidation of our European manufacturing facilities, it is more likely than not that our subsidiary in Italy will not generate a sufficient profit in the near future to recover the restructuring charges. The impact on our Italian subsidiary’s tax provision was approximately $1.4 million, and was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014. Excluding the Italian results, the estimated annual effective tax rate on ordinary income was 31.3% and 32.0% for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2014. The overall effective rate for continuing operations was 26.2% and 34.1% for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2013, respectively.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations reflected a loss before income taxes of $33,000 and $187,000 for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2013, respectively. Those costs were related to the animal health business that was discontinued in March 2012, and to dismantling equipment relating to the agricultural chemicals business that was discontinued in fiscal year 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

For the nine months ended April 30, 2014, operating cash flows were favorably impacted by an increase in accrued liabilities of $5.4 million and a decrease of $7.4 million in inventories, primarily in our wood treating chemicals business. Accrued liabilities increased primarily due to recognition of restructuring charges and bonus accruals. Operating cash flows were negatively impacted by a decrease in accounts payable of $3.5 million primarily in connection with our wood treating segment from the timing of payments for creosote purchases. Net borrowings decreased by $13.0 million, because of payments on our revolving line of credit.

Working Capital

We have a revolving line of credit of $110.0 million under an amended and restated credit agreement. At April 30, 2014, we had $52.0 million outstanding under the revolving facility, and an additional $3.5 million was reserved for outstanding letters of credit, with up to an additional $54.5 million of additional borrowing capacity. However, the amount that may be borrowed under the revolving facility is limited by a covenant for funded debt to pro-forma earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (“EBITDA”), and at April 30, 2014 that limitation restricted our borrowing capacity to $19.9 million. We reduced the principal outstanding on our revolving loan by payments of $7.0 million and $13.0 million in the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2014. Management believes that our current revolving credit facility, combined with cash flows from operations, will adequately provide for our working capital needs for current operations for the next twelve months, and to extend or replace $20.0 million of indebtedness that matures on December 31, 2014. Management is in the process of accomplishing that extension or replacement, and is reviewing several viable alternatives.

Long Term Debt

To finance the acquisition of the electronic chemicals business in December 2007, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement and a note purchase agreement. The amended and restated credit agreement is now with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and with Bank of America, N.A. The note purchase agreement is now with The Prudential Insurance Company of America and Pruco Life Insurance Company.

Initially, the amended and restated credit agreement included a revolving loan facility and a term loan facility. The term loan was paid off in fiscal year 2012, and that aspect of the facility has been removed. We amended the facilities and the note purchase agreement several times, most recently in April and in May 2013 to increase the amount that may be borrowed under the revolving loan up to $110.0 million, to include an accordion feature that allows for an additional revolving loan increase of up to $25.0 million from current or additional lenders willing to participate, to extend the maturity date to April 30, 2018, and to include a mandatory reduction in revolving loan commitment of $10.0 million each year from September 30, 2014 to September 30, 2017 totaling $40.0 million. The matrix for the calculation of interest payable on the revolving loan facility and the method for the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio were also revised.

19

The revolving loan matures April 30, 2018, and bears interest at a varying rate of LIBOR plus a margin based on our funded debt to EBITDA ratio, as described below.

Ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA	Margin
Equal to or greater than 2.5 to 1.0		2.25	%
Equal to or greater than 2.0 to 1.0, but less than 2.5 to 1.0		2.00	%
Equal to or greater than 1.5 to 1.0, but less than 2.0 to 1.0		1.75	%
Less than 1.5 to 1.0		1.50	%

Advances under the revolving loan bear interest at 2.15% and 1.69% as of April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013, respectively. At April 30, 2014, $52.0 million was outstanding on the revolving loan, and an additional $3.5 million was reserved for outstanding letters of credit.

The note purchase agreement is for $20.0 million. Advances under the note purchase agreement mature on December 31, 2014, and bear interest at 7.43% per annum. Principal is payable at maturity. At April 30, 2014, $20.0 million was outstanding under the note purchase agreement.

Loans under the amended and restated credit agreement and the note purchase agreement are secured by our assets, including stock in subsidiary inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, intangible assets and real property. The credit facility and the note have restrictive covenants, including that the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 or greater, and funded debt to EBITDA (as adjusted for extraordinary items, with lender consent) of no more than 3.0 to 1.0, and a current ratio of at least 1.5 to 1.0. On April 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, such as financing or unconsolidated variable interest entities, other than operating leases.

Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements

We are including the following discussion to inform our existing and potential security holders generally of some of the risks and uncertainties that can affect us and to take advantage of the “safe harbor” protection for forward-looking statements that applicable federal securities law affords. From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf make forward-looking statements to inform existing and potential security holders about our company. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of our operations. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this report that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures, business strategy, competitive strengths, goals, growth of our business and operations, plans and references to future successes may be considered forward-looking statements. Also, when we use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “may,” “should,” “budget,” “goal,” “expect,” “probably” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. Many risks and uncertainties may impact the matters addressed in these forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and we will not update forward-looking statements unless the securities laws require us to do so.

Some of the key factors which could cause our future financial results and performance to vary from those expected include:

• the loss or significant reduction in business from primary customers;

• the loss of key suppliers;

• the integration of our UPC acquisition taking longer or being more costly than currently believed, or the failure to achieve all the planned benefits of that integration;

• penta being banned or restricted as a persistent organic pollutant under the Stockholm Convention Treaty;

• the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system taking longer or being more costly than currently believed;

• our ability to implement productivity improvements, cost reduction initiatives or facilities expansions;

• market developments affecting, and other changes in, the demand for our products and the entry of new competitors or the introduction of new competing products;

20

• availability or increases in the price of energy, our primary raw materials and active ingredients;

• the timing of planned capital expenditures;

• our ability to identify, develop or acquire, and market additional product lines and businesses necessary to implement our business strategy and our ability to finance such acquisitions and development;

• the condition of the capital markets generally, which will be affected by interest rates, foreign currency fluctuations and general economic conditions;

• cost and other effects of legal and administrative proceedings, settlements, investigations and claims, including environmental liabilities which may not be covered by indemnity or insurance;

• the effects of weather, earthquakes, other natural disasters and terrorist attacks;

• the ability to obtain registration and re-registration of our products under applicable law;

• the political and economic climate in the foreign or domestic jurisdictions in which we conduct business; and

• other United States or foreign regulatory or legislative developments which affect the demand for our products generally or increase the environmental compliance cost for our products or impose liabilities on the manufacturers and distributors of such products.

The information contained in this report, including the information set forth under the heading “Risk Factors”, identifies additional factors that could cause our results or performance to differ materially from those we express in our forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of these assumptions and, therefore, the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions, could themselves prove to be inaccurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements which are included in this report and the exhibits and other documents incorporated herein by reference, our inclusion of this information is not a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business, arising primarily from changes in interest rates and to a lesser extent foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Generally we do not utilize derivative financial instruments or hedging transactions to manage that risk. Our exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk is discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013. There has been no material change in that information.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period covered by this Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
