MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
BALANCE SHEET
The Company's strong financial condition and liquidity were maintained in the
1996 first quarter. Cash and equivalents represented 32% of total assets at
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995. The ratio of current assets to current
liabilities was 3.7 at March 31, 1996 compared to 3.6 at December 31, 1995.
INCOME STATEMENT
Comparison Between Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
Net sales increased 7% between the first quarters of each year. The bonded
fibers segment had modest growth as a solid increase in tobacco filters was
partially offset by softness in writing instrument and medical diagnostic test
kit components. The plastic products segment growth was led by the Canadian
flexible packaging company with a smaller increase by the plastic extrusion
companies. Investment income increased 14% between the first quarters primarily
as a result of the higher level of investments.
Costs and expenses increased 6%. Cost of products sold increased at about the
same rate as sales. Selling, research, administrative and general expenses
decreased slightly.
Bonded fibers segment operating earnings decreased from an exceptionally strong
1995 first quarter because a shift in the mix of products sold resulted in lower
operating margins. The plastic products segment posted substantially increased
operating earnings that more than offset the decline by bonded fibers
demonstrating the benefit of the Company's diversity. Overall performance of the
plastic extrusion companies was very strong and the Canadian flexible packaging
company had a very modest loss compared to the large loss in 1995's first
quarter. The combination of these factors produced a 15% increase in pretax
income.
Income taxes increased 13% reflecting the higher level of income partially
offset by a slightly lower estimate of the effective tax rate for 1996.
Therefore, net income and related earnings per share increased by 16% and 17%.
