NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Statement of Accounting Policy
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Myers Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (Company), and have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in con-junction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2000, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.
(2) Acquisitions
On February 4, 1999, the Company acquired all of the shares of the entities comprising Allibert Equipement, the material handling division of Sommer Allibert S.A. and acquired Allibert-Contico, LLC, a joint venture between Sommer Allibert and Contico International, Inc. for a total purchase price of approximately $150 million. The acquired businesses have five manufacturing facilities in Europe and one in North America.
In August 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the Dillen Products Companies of Middlefield, Ohio for approximately $50 million and all of the outstanding shares of Listo Products, Ltd. of Canada for approximately $15 million. Dillen and Listo are leading manufacturers of plastic horticultural containers including pots, trays, saucers and decorative planters for customers including greenhouses and nurseries as well as retail garden centers and mass merchandisers.
The acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the dates of acquisition, and the acquisition costs have been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values. The purchase price allocations have been based on estimates with the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired of approximately $166 million being amortized over lives of 15 to 40 years.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased $34.9 million or 27 percent on the strength of higher unit volumes and contributions from acquired companies in our Manufacturing segment. Sales in the Manufacturing segment increased $35.8 million or 38 percent with approximately 80 percent of the increase due to acquired companies not included in the prior year period. Without the impact of acquired companies, sales in the Manufacturing segment increased 8 percent primarily as a result of higher unit volumes. Sales in the Company’s Distribution segment decreased $1 million or 3 percent from the prior year reflecting lower unit volumes.
Total sales and sales in the Manufacturing segment were reduced $3.4 million by the translation effect of weaker foreign currencies, particularly the Euro, on sales of foreign subsidiaries. Without this reduction, total sales would have increased 30 percent and Manufacturing segment sales would have increased 42 percent compared to the first quarter in 1999. The translation effect also decreased net income for the quarter by $150,000 or $.01 per share.
Cost of sales increased $25.1 million or 32 percent based on the higher sales levels in the current year period. Gross profit as a percentage of sales declined to 35.2 percent in the current year from 37.3 percent in the first quarter a year ago. The deterioration of gross margin was primarily the result of higher raw material costs experienced in the Manufacturing segment.
Total operating expenses for the quarter increased $6.8 million or 23 percent from the prior year. This increase reflects the higher selling costs associated with the increase in sales combined with the additional operating expenses of acquired businesses. Expressed as a percentage of sales, operating expenses were 22.9 percent in the current period compared with 23.8 percent in the first quarter a year ago. This improvement in operating expense leverage is principally due to the seasonality of sales for certain acquired businesses that were not included in the prior year period.
Net interest expense increased $3.2 million to $5.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared with $2.4 million in the prior year. Approximately 28 percent of this increase is due to higher average interest rates with the remainder resulting from the increased borrowing levels from business acquisitions.
Income taxes as a percent of income before taxes was 42 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared with 43.4 percent in the prior year. The lower effective tax rate in 2000 is attributable to a reduction in the relative impact of non-deductible amortization expense combined with a change in the effect of foreign tax rate differences.

Results of Operations (Con’t)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash provided by operating activities was $19.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared with $23.1 million for same period in the prior year. Long-term debt decreased by $6.8 million during the quarter and debt as a percentage of total capitalization at March 31, 2000 was 58 percent, virtually unchanged from December 31, 1999. Working capital increased slightly to $106.0 million at March 31, 2000 and the Company’s current ratio was 2.0 to 1.
Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $7.8 million and the Company anticipates total capital expenditures in the range of $30 million to $35 million for the full year. Management believes that anticipated cash flows from operations and available credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its capital expenditures and meet its short-term and long-term needs.
