AMPCO-PITTSBURGH CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1997,
the consolidated statements of income for the nine and
three month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the
nine month periods then ended have been prepared by the
Corporation without audit. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Corporation's annual report to
shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1996. The
results of operations for the periods ended September
30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the full year.
2. Acquisitions
Effective July 1, 1997, the Corporation acquired F. R.
Gross Co., a small Ohio manufacturer of heat transfer
rolls for the plastics, packaging, printing and other
industries for approximately $9,400,000 cash, including
debt assumed and retired. The acquisition was accounted
for as a purchase transaction. The excess of the
purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net
assets acquired (goodwill) amounted to approximately
$4,500,000.
Effective August 1, 1997, the Corporation acquired
Atlantic Grinding & Welding Inc. for approximately
$2,600,000 cash, including debt assumed and retired.
This small manufacturer of feed screws, with operations
in New Hampshire and South Carolina, will expand New
Castle Industries' market coverage to the plastics
processing industry. The acquisition was accounted for
as a purchase transaction.
- 6 -
The consolidated financial statements include the
results of operations of F. R. Gross and Atlantic
Grinding & Welding from their acquisition date of July 1
and August 1, 1997, respectively. The consolidated
results of operations on a pro forma basis as though
those businesses had been acquired as of January 1,
1996 are as follows (in thousands except for per share
information):
Nine Months Three Months
Ended Sept. 30, Ended Sept. 30,
1997 1996 1997 1996
Net sales $132,393 $130,263 $42,018 $42,225
Net income $ 13,060 $ 8,034 $ 4,550 $ 2,561
Net income
per share $ 1.36 $ .84 $ .48 $ .27
The pro forma financial information is not necessarily
indicative either of results of operations that would
have occurred had the purchases been made at the
beginning of the period, or of future results of
operations of the combined companies. The 1997 periods
include gains from investments (see Note 4).
The Assets Purchase Agreements for F. R. Gross and
Atlantic Grinding & Welding provide for additional
payments to the former owners contingent on future
earnings. Any additional payments made, when the
contingencies are resolved, will be accounted for as
goodwill and amortized over the remaining life of the
original goodwill.
3. Inventory
Inventories, principally valued on the LIFO method, are
comprised of the following:
September 30, December 31,
1997 1996
Raw materials $ 6,174,988 $ 6,384,104
Work-in-process 24,560,720 20,945,337
Finished goods 3,616,868 3,885,851
Supplies 1,866,995 2,007,818
$ 36,219,571 $ 33,223,110
4. Investments
In connection with the sale of its remaining
investments, including the stock holdings of
Northwestern Steel and Wire Company previously
- 7 -
classified as available for sale, the Corporation
recognized pre-tax gains of $3,489,228 and $2,552,653
during the nine and three month periods ended September
30, 1997, respectively.
5. Net Income Per Common Share
Net income per common share is computed on the basis of
the weighted number of shares of Ampco-Pittsburgh
Corporation's common stock outstanding, which has
remained unchanged at 9,577,621 shares for the periods
presented.
6. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS
No. 128 establishes new standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share and is effective for the
year ending December 31, 1997. The adoption of SFAS No.
128 is not expected to have an effect on the
Corporation's calculation of earnings per share as there
are currently no potential additional shares of common
stock issuable.
In September 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income", and SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information". SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components. The Corporation is required to adopt the
provisions of SFAS No. 130 beginning with its
consolidated financial statements for the three months
ending March 31, 1998. SFAS No. 131 requires certain
disclosures about segment information in interim and
annual financial statements and related information
about products and services, geographic areas and major
customers. The Corporation must adopt the provisions of
SFAS No. 131 for its consolidated financial statements
for the year ending December 31, 1998.
The adoptions of SFAS No. 130 and SFAS No. 131 are not
expected to have a material effect on the measurement of
the Corporation's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows; the Corporation is reviewing
possible changes in disclosures that may be necessary.

AMPCO-PITTSBURGH CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operations for the Nine and Three Month Periods Ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996
Net sales for the nine and three month periods of 1997 were
$125,554,000 and $41,628,000 compared to $120,363,000 and
$38,497,000 for the same periods of the prior year.
Excluding the additional sales from the acquisitions of
F. R. Gross and Atlantic Grinding & Welding during the
third quarter of 1997, overall sales increased by 2% and 1%
for the first nine months and third quarter of 1997,
respectively, compared to the prior year. While several of
the Corporation's operations experienced higher shipment
levels due to continued growth in export business and
improved economic activity, other operations experienced
modest declines in sales. The order backlog stood at
$118,200,000 at September 30, 1997 compared to $114,100,000
at December 31, 1996. The increase in the backlog is due
primarily to the businesses acquired in 1997.
The cost of products sold relationships for the nine and
three months ended September 30, 1997 were 68.8% and 69.3%,
respectively. This compares with the prior comparable
periods at 71.0% and 71.5%, respectively. A more
profitable sales mix together with increased margins
resulted in improved ratios of cost of products sold to
sales in 1997.
Selling and administrative expenses in 1997 increased by
$446,000 for the year-to-date period and $684,000 for the
third quarter, both compared to the prior year, principally
due to the impact of the businesses acquired during the
third quarter 1997. The relationships of selling and
administrative expenses to net sales for the nine and three
months ended September 30, 1997 were 14.5% and 15.2%,
respectively. This compares with the prior comparable
periods, both at 14.7%.
Depreciation expense of $5,033,000 and $1,697,000 for the
nine and three months ended September 30, 1997 increased
approximately 7% and 9%, respectively, compared to the
prior year due principally to an increase in capital
expenditures.
- 9 -
Income from operations increased 28% for the nine month
period and 26% for the three month period, both ended
September 30, 1997 compared to the corresponding 1996
periods. These increases are principally a result of
improved margins, a more profitable sales mix and slightly
higher volumes.
Gains of $3,489,000 and $2,553,000 were recognized in the
nine and three month periods ended September 30, 1997,
respectively, from the sale of investments.
The Corporation had net income for the nine and three
months ended September 30, 1997 of $12,677,000 and
$4,550,000, respectively. This compares with net income
for the prior year comparable periods of $7,928,000 and
$2,369,000, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash flow from operating activities was positive in
1997 and 1996 at $14,007,000 and $12,422,000, respectively.
Operating cash flow in 1997 benefitted from a $3,468,000
increase in income from operations.
Capital expenditures for 1997 totaled $12,258,000 compared
to $6,264,000 in 1996. The Corporation anticipates capital
expenditures for 1997 to approximate $16,000,000 with the
major expenditure being for plant and equipment at Union
Electric Steel's plants to be completed by the end of the
year. Unexpended industrial revenue bond proceeds of
$9,767,000 were available to fund a portion of this capital
program and $7,245,000 of these proceeds were drawn down
during the first nine months of 1997. Funds generated
internally are expected to be sufficient to finance the
balance of the capital expenditures.
The net cash outflow from investing activities in 1997
includes $11,967,000 for the purchases of F. R. Gross and
Atlantic Grinding & Welding during the third quarter. The
Corporation disposed of all of its stock and other
investment interests, including its stock holdings in
Northwestern Steel and Wire Company, receiving proceeds of
$4,907,000 in 1997.
Cash outflows with respect to financing activities in 1997
reflect an increase in the quarterly dividend rate to $.06
per share compared to $.025 per share in 1996, and an
additional prior year-end dividend of $960,000 in 1997 or
$.10 per share, as compared to $.05 per share paid in 1996.
- 10 -
The Corporation maintains short-term lines of credit and a
revolving credit agreement in excess of the cash needs of
its businesses. The total available at September 30, 1997
was $14,500,000.
With respect to environmental concerns, the Corporation has
been named a potentially responsible party at certain third
party sites. The Corporation has accrued its share of the
estimated cost of remedial actions it would likely be
required to contribute. While it is not possible to
quantify with certainty the potential cost of actions
regarding environmental matters, particularly any future
remediation and other compliance efforts, in the opinion of
management, compliance with the present environmental
protection laws and the potential liability for all
environmental proceedings will not have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition, results of operations or
liquidity of the Corporation.
The nature and scope of the Corporation's business brings
it into regular contact with a variety of persons,
businesses and government agencies in the ordinary course
of business. Consequently, the Corporation and its
subsidiaries from time to time are named in various legal
actions. The Corporation does not anticipate that its
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity
will be materially affected by the costs of known, pending
or threatened litigation.
