Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
NOTE A. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X. Consequently, they do not
include all the disclosures required under generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of the
management of National Sanitary Supply Company ("National"), the financial
statements presented herein contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, the
results of operations, and cash flows of National and its subsidiaries for the
periods indicated. For additional information concerning the accounting policies
of National, refer to the consolidated financial statements included in the 1995
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 1996.
NOTE B. Earnings per common share are computed on the basis of the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective
periods. The dilution that would result from shares issuable under National's
1986, 1988, and 1995 Stock Incentive Plans is not material.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
National Sanitary Supply Company's sales for the third quarter ended September
30, 1996 were $80,652,000, a 10% decrease from sales of $89,396,000 in the third
quarter of 1995. Net income for the third quarter of 1996 was $1,812,000, an 8%
decrease from net income of $1,977,000 in the prior-year third quarter.
Earnings per share of $0.30 for the third quarter of 1996 decreased 9% from
earnings per share of $0.33 in the comparable prior-year quarter.
National's third-quarter results reflect the effects of the previously announced
loss of a large fast-food customer in the first quarter of 1996. It was
anticipated that the loss of this large customer in our southwest operating
group would constrain our 1996 sales and profit growth, especially in the third
quarter which was traditionally the strongest quarter for this customer.
Strong performances in the core sanitary maintenance business in many locations
and controlled operating expenses helped to temper the lost business.
The gross profit margin for the third quarter of 1996 improved 2.5% points from
31.0% in 1995 to 33.5% in 1996. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales in
the third quarter of 1996 increased 2.4% points from 26.5% in 1995 to 28.9% in
1996, offsetting the improvement in the gross profit margin. The gross profit
margin improvement reflects the loss of low-margin sales to the large fast-food
customer, which correspondingly had lower associated operating expenses.
The decline in Chemed interest expense from $508,000 in the third quarter of
1995 to $391,000 in the third quarter of 1996 reflects the continued improvement
in National's financial condition. Debt as a percent of total capital decreased
from 28.8% at September 30, 1995 to 20.9% at September 30, 1996.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, National's sales of $235,139,000
decreased 8% from sales of $255,760,000 in the comparable period of 1995. Net
income for the first nine months of 1996 was $3,965,000, a 3% decline from the
prior-year nine months net income of $4,106,000. Earnings per share of $0.65
for the first nine months of 1996 decreased 4% from earnings per share of $.68
for the comparable period of 1995. The year-to-date performance reflects the
loss of the large fast-food account and a significant increase in cash flow due
to a reduction in working capital.
The gross profit margin improvement of 1.7% points after nine months compared
with the same period of 1995 was offset by a similar increase in operating
expenses as a percent of sales. The change in both categories was primarily due
to a shift in the sales mix with the loss of the large fast-food account.
The decrease in Chemed interest expense from $1,709,000 in the first nine months
of 1995 to $1,208,000 in the first nine months of 1996 reflects a $7,308,000
reduction in debt with Chemed Corporation from September 30, 1995 to September
30, 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The decrease in accounts receivable and inventories primarily reflects the loss
of the large fast-food account. The cash flow from these accounts was used
primarily to repay loans to Chemed which decreased $5,843,000 from $6,989,000 at
December 1995 to $1,146,000 at September 30, 1996.
Management believes that the company's cash flow from operations and other
sources of liquidity are sufficient for its needs.
