MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company has entered into a letter of intent for the acquisition of all of
its outstanding stock for a per share cash price of $46.52 (see Note B of Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
BALANCE SHEET
The Company's strong financial condition and liquidity were maintained in the
1997 first half. Cash and equivalents represented 38% of total assets at
June 30, 1997 compared to 37% at December 31, 1996. The ratio of current assets
to current liabilities was 4.0 at June 30, 1997 compared to 3.8 at December 31,
1996. The accounts receivable increase from the historically lower year-end
amount reflects the higher level of business activity in the first half. The
change in other liabilities arose primarily from the January, 1997 distribution
of performance shares for the three-year period ended December 31, 1996 and the
adjustment of related deferred income taxes.
INCOME STATEMENT
Comparison Between Three-Month and Six-Month Periods Ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996
Net sales increased 3% between the second quarters and 7% between the six months
of each year. The bonded fibers segment had lower sales for the second quarter
as a decrease in tobacco filter sales from the strong 1996 period more than
offset increased sales in other product lines. The plastic products segment
sales growth resulted from a solid increase by the plastic extrusion companies
offsetting expected lower sales of the Canadian flexible packaging company.
-6-
Investment income increased 30% between the second quarters and 21% between the
six months of each year primarily as a result of the higher level of
investments.
Costs and expenses increased 3% between the second quarters and 6% between the
six months of each year which were generally in line with the sales increases.
Cost of products sold increased at lower rates than the sales increases while
selling, research, administrative and general expenses increased at somewhat
higher rates in the periods.
The bonded fibers segment second quarter operating earnings decreased from the
strong 1996 period because of the sales decrease; however, for the six months
earnings were well ahead of the prior year's six-month period. The plastic
products segment posted substantially increased earnings for the second quarter
and six months compared to the 1996 periods. Overall performance of the plastic
extrusion companies was very good in both periods and the Canadian flexible
packaging company recorded profits compared to losses in last year's periods.
The combination of these factors produced pretax income increases of 10% between
the second quarters and 19% between the six months of each year.
Income taxes increased 14% between the second quarters and 23% between the six
months of each year reflecting the higher level of income and estimate of the
effective tax rate for 1997. Therefore, net income and related earnings per
share increased by 9% and 6% between the second quarters and by 18% and 15%
between the six months of each year.
