weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reported period.
Diluted EPS includes additional dilution from potential common stock issuable
pursuant to the exercise of stock options outstanding
6. Gain on Sale of Mineral Rights
As previously announced, the Company sold most of its trona mineral leases in
Wyoming for approximately $22.5 million to Solvay Minerals, Inc., which was due
in annual payments beginning on January 5, 1999 and concluding on January 5,
2011. The Company received its initial payment of $3.0 million and recorded a
note receivable from Solvay for the present value of the remaining payments of
approximately $13.9 million using estimated market discount rates. This, when
combined with the initial receipt, resulted in a gain of approximately $11.8
million.
The Company is negotiating to assign and sell the note to an insurance company
for an amount that approximates the carrying amount on April 2, 1999.
7. Impairment and Other Items
As previously announced, the Company recorded a charge for impairment and
certain other items relating to a planned plant shutdown late in 1999 which
includes the rationalization of both toothpaste and powder laundry detergent

10. Subsequent Event
On May 7, 1999, the Company exercised its option and purchased an additional 35%
interest in two Brazilian bicarbonate/carbonate-related chemical companies. The
acquisition, costing approximately $9.1 million, had approximately $4.2 million
allocated to Goodwill and was financed by short-term borrowing. An additional
amount of approximately $2.0 million, may be payable in March, 2001, contingent
upon the performance of the two Brazilian companies.
11. Contingencies
The Company, in the ordinary course of its business, is the subject of, or a
party to, various pending or threatened legal actions. The Company believes that
any ultimate liability arising from these actions will not have a material
adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.
12. Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform with the
current year presentation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
For the quarter ended April 2, 1999, net income was $12.4 million, equivalent to
basic earnings of $.64 per share, from $5.9 million or $.30 per share, in last
year's first quarter. Diluted earnings were $.61 per share compared to $.30 per
share last year. These results include a net pre-tax gain of $6.5 million or
$.19 per share from two previously announced events - the sale of trona mineral
leases in January, less a charge for impairment and certain other items related
to the planned plant shutdown later in 1999. Excluding this one-time net gain,
net income would have increased by 43% to $8.5 million, or $.42 per diluted
share.
Net sales increased by 15% to $174.7 million from $152.0 million in the same
period last year. All major consumer product lines - oral and personal care,
deodorizing and laundry and cleaning products - were well ahead of last year.
Animal nutrition was particularly strong in the specialty products business
Gross margin was 44.1% in the first quarter, as compared with 44.5% last year.
The major reasons for the decline was the shift in the high margin specialty
cleaning business from having its results fully consolidated in 1998 to being
accounted for as an equity investment in 1999 and the use of co-packers to meet
higher than expected order requirements. These items were partially offset by a
favorable product sales mix.
Advertising, consumer and trade promotion expenses increased by $3.8 million to
$44.6 million in the current quarter. This is due to high promotion costs in
support of both the oral and personal care and deodorizing product lines.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.7 million versus last
year. This increase is primarily due to higher personnel-related costs and
outside service costs, particularly in information systems.
Earnings from affiliates increased due to the formation of the ArmaKleen Company
as a 50% owned affiliate, which product line prior to this quarter was fully
consolidated, and increases in earnings from the Armand Products Company and the
Brazilian affiliate.
Interest expense was virtually unchanged from last year, while investment income
increased slightly.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company considers cash and short-term investments as the principal
measurement of its liquidity. At April 2, 1999, cash, including cash equivalents
and short-term investments totaled $23.2 million as compared to $18.2 million.
During the first quarter of 1999, the Company generated $15.5 million of cash
flow from operating activities, received an initial payment of $3.0 million from
the sale of mineral rights and received $2.6 million from stock options
exercised. Significant expenditures include the partial repayment of debt of
$7.0 million, additions to property, plant and equipment of $5.4 million, the
payment of cash dividends of $2.3 million and the purchase of treasury stock of
$1.7 million.
Year 2000 Update
- ----------------
As outlined in the 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company has
developed plans to address the possible exposures related to the impact on its
computer systems of the Year 2000. These plans have not changed materially in
terms of scope or estimated costs to complete, and are progressing according to
previously identified time schedules.
Total expenditures incurred on Y2K-related projects through the first quarter of
1999 are estimated at approximately $11.5 million. While the costs of the
remaining required changes is not yet fully known, we expect the total estimated
costs of the Y2K-related projects to be in the $13 million to $14 million range.
