The notes to the consolidated financial statements including management's discussion in Part 1, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q are incorporated as part of these consolidated financial statements. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements. Note 2 -- Net income per share figures in the consolidated Condensed Statement of Income are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding as indicated for each period. No effect has been given to stock options or restricted stock awards outstanding as no dilutive effect would result from the inclusion of these items. Note 3 -- The following are included as components of Common Stock and Paid-In Capital. COMMON STOCK & PAID-IN CAPITAL MARCH 31, DECEMBER 31, MARCH 31, (IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) 1996 1995 1995 - ------------------------------ --------- ------------ --------- Common stock $24,984 $24,984 $24,984 Paid-in capital 12,510 12,316 12,061 Unrealized losses on investments (300) (128) (910) Unearned compensation on restricted stock (1,549) (1,583) (896) Pension liability adjustment (473) (473) -------- ---------- --------- $35,172 $35,116 $35,239 ======== ========= ========= 6 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of The Dexter Corporation We have reviewed the accompanying condensed statement of financial position of The Dexter Corporation as of March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related condensed statements of income and cash flows for the three month periods then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted audited standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated statement of financial position of The Dexter Corporation as of December 31, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows, and changes in shareholders' equity for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 1, 1996, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed statement of financial position as of December 31, 1995, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived. /s/ Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.
