Medusa Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in the company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995.
2. Use of the percentage depletion method in 1996, a lower
effective state tax rate, and other permanent tax adjustments
reduced the company's effective tax rate for the second quarter
of 1996 and 1995 to 31.1% and 34.5%, respectively, and for the
first six months of 1996 and 1995 to 31.2% and 34.5%,
respectively, from the federal statutory rate of 35%.
3. At both June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, 50,000,000 common
shares, without par value were authorized. At June 30, 1996,
16,315,547 shares were outstanding (16,329,901 at December 31,
1995).
4. Primary net income per share is computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of Common Shares and Common Share
equivalents (options) outstanding during the period. Fully
diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted
average number of Common Shares and Common Share equivalents
outstanding during the period, as if the convertible
subordinated notes were converted into Common Shares at the
beginning of the period after giving retroactive effect to the
elimination of interest expense, net of income tax effect,
applicable to the subordinated notes.

and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
All per share amounts are on a fully diluted basis.
Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared With Three Months
Ended June 30, 1995
Net income for the second quarter of 1996 of $15.0 million, or
$.87 per common share, compares to a net income of $12.7
million, or $.74 per common share, in 1995.
Net sales for the second quarter of 1996 increased to $86.0
million from $80.2 million in 1995. Cement net sales rose 8%
over last year's second quarter on a 3% increase in volume and
a 5% increase in prices, which is directly related to announced
increases of April 1, 1996. These increases were achieved
despite adverse weather during the second quarter of 1996 which
hampered each of the cement, aggregate and highway safety
construction operations as well as the related construction
industries which they serve.
A 5% increase in unit sales volume for Aggregate operations
resulted in a 7% increase in sales for the second quarter of
1996 compared to 1995. In addition, the quarter reflected a 2%
increase in sales for the company's highway and safety
construction operation.
Cost of sales as a percent of sales fell to 60.3% in the second
quarter of 1996 compared to 61.7% in same period of 1995 due
primarily to increased company sales. The effect of higher
volumes and prices were partially offset by a 5% increase in
clinker production costs as a result of increased repair and
maintenance charges (related to unplanned outages), and to a
$1.2 million one-time pre-tax charge ($.8 million after-tax, or
$.04 per common share) for the company's voluntary early
retirement incentive program ("VERIP") negotiated at the Wampum
cement plant. Unplanned outages occurred during June at both
the Charlevoix and Clinchfield plants resulting in clinker
production volume losses aggregating about 35,000 tons.
Consequently, cement capacity utilization for the quarter was
99% in 1996 compared to 102% in 1995.
- -7-
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (cont'd)
Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared With Three Months
Ended June 30, 1995
The $1.2 million one-time charge, or $.04 per common share, for
the VERIP allows the company to effect a workforce reduction of
19 hourly employees at the Wampum cement plant and quarry.
This allows for increased flexibility in plant quarrying
operations and greater integration of operations with the
company's West Pittsburg aggregates quarry located adjacent to
the cement quarry. This quarry integration will provide future
cost saving opportunities.
Second quarter depreciation and amortization expense for 1996
of $4.7 million compares to $4.0 million in 1995. Increases in
restricted share amortization and 1995's level of capital
expenditures impact on 1996's depreciation expense.
Selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of
sales increased to 8.1% in 1996 from 7.2% in 1995. Higher
personnel related costs and increased incentive compensation
were the principle causes of this overall increase.
Operating profit for the second quarter of 1996 of $22.1
million compares to $20.9 million in 1995. The improvement in
operating results are attributable to the above mentioned
reasons.
Pretax and net income improved from 12.1%, and 17.9%, to $21.7
million and $14.7 million, respectively, over the prior year's
second quarter. A $1.0 million reduction in interest expense
resulting from the payoff of the company's $35.0 million 10%
notes on December 15, 1995 and the improved operating profit
account for the improved pretax income. These reasons coupled
with a lower effective tax rate account for the net income
improvement.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (cont'd)
Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared With Six Months Ended
June 30, 1995
Net income for the first six months of 1996 of $16.2 million,
or $.97 per common share, compares to a net income of $12.4
million, or $.76 per common share, in 1995.
Net sales for the first half of 1996 increased to $131.1
million from $125.8 million in 1995. Cement net sales rose 6%
over last year's first half. Cement unit volume for the period
was flat due primarily to inclement weather conditions.
Successful implementation of April 1, 1996 price increases
resulted in 6% higher cement prices over 1995.
Aggregates' group sales for the first half of 1996 fell 2%
compared to 1995. Unit sales of the aggregates group were 7%
less than 1995, as a result of poor weather. Sales for the
company's highway and safety construction operation were off
4%.
Cost of sales as a percent of sales fell to 65.3% in the first
half of 1996 compared to 68.0% in same period of 1995 due
primarily to increased cement prices. The effect of higher
prices was partially offset by the $1.2 million one-time charge
for the VERIP at the Wampum plant and higher cement plant
repair and maintenance costs. Cement capacity utilization was
83% in 1996 compared to 86% in 1995. See discussion above
regarding cost of sales for the quarter related to capacity
utilization.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.1 million to
$8.0 million from $6.9 million in 1995. The increase was due
to increased restricted share amortization and the impact from
1995's level of capital expenditures on 1996's depreciation
expense.
Selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of
sales increased to 9.5% in 1996 from 9.1% in 1995. Higher
personnel related costs, incentive compensation and other
inflationary pressures caused this overall increase.
Operating profit for the first half of 1996 of $25.0 million
compares to $21.9 million in 1995. The improvement in
operating results is mainly attributable to the increases in
cement prices as offset by the above mentioned reasons.
- -9-
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (cont'd)
Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared With Six Months Ended
June 30, 1995
From the prior year, interest income fell $360,000 while
interest expense was down $1.8 million. Both of these result
from the company's payment of $35.0 million 10% unsecured notes
on December 15, 1995, effectively reducing outstanding debt and
invested cash.
Use of the percentage depletion method and other permanent tax
adjustments reduced the company's federal effective tax rate
for the first six month's of 1996 and 1995 to 31.2% and 34.5%,
respectively, from the federal statutory rate of 35%. A lower
effective state tax rate further reduced the 1996 federal
effective rate in 1996.
The company's business is highly seasonal and particularly
sensitive to weather conditions. Interim results are not
indicative of annual results.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 1996, the company had $7.6 million of cash and
short-term investments. The company has available an unsecured
$20.0 million five-year revolving credit facility for short-
term seasonal working capital needs that expires December 31,
1996, and unsecured bank lines of credit totaling $15.0
million. At June 30, 1996, no amounts were outstanding under
any of these facilities.
Working capital at June 30, 1996, was $23.9 million greater
than at June 30, 1995, due principally to $35.0 million of 10%
unsecured Senior Notes which were due and paid on December 15,
1995 being classified as current at the June 30, 1995 date.
The increase also reflects both higher levels of receivables as
a result of increased sales and inventories and, the company
having begun the 1996 year with higher inventory levels than
was the case in 1995. Income taxes payable reflects a $3.8
million decrease from prior year as a required federal
estimated quarterly tax payment was made in June 1996, whereas
no June payment was required in June, 1995. The ratio of
current assets to current liabilities was 3.0:1 at June 30,
1996, 1.6:1 at June 30, 1995, and 2.8:1 at December 31, 1995.
-10-
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (cont'd)
Capital expenditures for the first six months of 1996 were
$11.7 million compared to $11.3 million for the first six
months of 1995. This level of capital expenditures relates to
the company's commitment to make capital improvements designed
to enhance productivity, reduce operating costs and expand
clinker capacity,.
The company expects that its cement plants will continue to
operate at practical capacity for the remainder of 1996. The
company anticipates that demand trends evident in the second
quarter will continue, causing its cement shipments for the
year to exceed 1995's levels by around 4%. Cement imports,
which rose significantly in 1995 have declined about as
expected so far this year. Should current trends continue, the
company expects the supply/demand for cement will remain
favorable into 1997.
On April 1, 1996 cement price increases of up to $5 per ton
became effective in most of the company's southern markets and
up to $4 per ton in its northern markets.
