Total comprehensive net income was derived from net income of $5,207 and other comprehensive income of $449. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, comprehensive net income was $7,621 consisting of net income of $7,932 offset by other comprehensive losses of $311. The only matter contributing to the other comprehensive income and losses was the currency translation adjustment. - 6 - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of - ------ -------------------------------------------------- Operations and Financial Condition ---------------------------------- This discussion should be read in connection with the information contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements and Selected Notes to Financial Statements. Results of Operations - --------------------- Consolidated net sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 decreased $3.1 million, or 3.5%, versus the three months ended June 30, 1997. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, consolidated net sales decreased by $13.5 million or 8.0%. Refer to the table below for sales detail by market, product and geography for both periods.

Sales to the Chemical/Pharmaceutical market decreased by $1.8 million or 24.7% due primarily to a 27.2% decline in worldwide Advanced Separation Technologies (AST) sales. Product performance and reliability difficulties related to equipment in fabrication or shipped prior to the acquisition of AST by the - 7 - Company continue to require warranty work. Substantial efforts to complete this work reduced revenue recognized from new projects. Sales to the Original Equipment Manufacture's category were up by $2.5 million or 19.1% primarily due to increased carbon shipments to Japanese customers. The decline in the Environmental, Municipal market of $3.2 million or 16.2% was the net effect of lower initial fills and potable water equipment sales in the United Kingdom and reduced shipments to United States water plants partially offset by increased initial fills in Japan. The decline for European sourced sales includes a $1.0 million reduction due to foreign currency translation. If this effect is excluded, European sourced sales would have declined by $6.7 million or 20.3%. Sales of the recently acquired Charcoal Cloth unit increased 42.6% in the second quarter of 1998 as compared to the second quarter of 1997. Worldwide, Advanced Oxidation Technologies (AOT) sales were virtually the same in the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 versus the comparable 1997 quarter. Overall, new product sales (sales of products introduced in the past sixty months) were 15% of total sales in the first quarter of 1998 versus 11% for the comparable period in 1997. On a year-to-date basis, worldwide AST sales declined by 57.4% and worldwide AOT sales declined by 3.8% while Charcoal Cloth sales increased by 32.3%. Included in the decline for sales that originated in Europe was a decrease related to foreign currency translation of $2.3 million. Excluding this adjustment, the European sales decline would have been $13.7 million or 22.9%. Gross profit, before depreciation, as a percentage of net sales, for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 was 37.3% compared to 38.4% for the three months ended June 30, 1997. This 1.1 percentage point decline was the result of a less profitable mix of sales of carbon products and reduced service sales, which carry higher margin rates than other categories. For the year-to-date period, this rate in 1998 was 38.1% compared to 38.5% in the comparable 1997 period. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 increased $.3 million over the comparable period in 1997 and by $.5 million versus the six-month period ended June 30, 1997. Included in these increases are legal fees relating to the Powell Duffryn and AST litigations and increases associated with the consolidation of Calgon Far East Co., Ltd. (CFE) which was reported via the equity method of accounting for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively level excluding these legal fees and the CFE accounting method related increase. Research and development costs remained level at approximately $2.1 million per quarter of 1998. The relative stability of these expenses reflects successful cost control measures instituted by the Company during the first quarter of 1998. Interest income for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998 decreased $.1 million versus the comparable period in 1997. Interest expense increased $.3 million over the second quarter of 1997 and by $.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998 versus the similar 1997 period due to higher utilization of short-term credit lines in 1998. In addition, the first six months of 1998 includes $.1 million in interest expense for the CFE operations which under the equity method of accounting was not reflected in consolidated interest expense in 1997. The interest rate at June 30, 1998 was 5.1% versus 5.4% at June 30, 1997. - 8 - The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998 was 37.2% versus 37.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease is primarily related to a mix shift towards a higher proportion of United States based income which is taxed at a lower rate than European based income. Net income after tax for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 was $5.2 million versus $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Of the $2.0 million, or 28.2% decrease, $1.4 million is attributed to the drop off in sales activity in Europe. Another contributing factor involves legal expenses incurred in 1998 that were not incurred in the comparable 1997 period. It is anticipated that legal expenses for future quarters will be substantially less due to the recent favorable Motion of Summary Judgement which has been granted in the litigation with Powell Duffryn Terminals, Inc. Financial Condition ------------------- Working Capital and Liquidity ----------------------------- Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, primarily from net earnings before non-cash charges of depreciation and amortization offset by increased investment in working capital. The working capital increase was caused by increased inventory levels and decreased payables and was partially offset by lower receivables and other current assets. Inventory increased $5.2 million to $56.1 million at June 30, 1998 as a result of a combination of several factors including the buildup of inventory levels to support sales requirements resulting from scheduled plant maintenance shutdowns, timing of consumer charcoal sales in the second quarter of 1998 which are expected to occur in the third quarter of 1998, and softer than expected sales relative to production. Days sales outstanding, a measure of Accounts Receivable turnover into cash, showed significant improvement to 65 days at June 30, 1998 from 76 days at December 31, 1997. Currently maturing debt and short-term borrowings increased $7.8 million to $17.4 million at June 30, 1998. The impact of foreign currency translation resulting from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar reduced working capital by $.6 million. Total debt at June 30, 1998 was $88.8 million, an increase of $6.9 million, primarily resulting from increased short-term borrowings for working capital usage. The Company's existing credit availability is principally from its United States and German credit facilities. At June 30, 1998, unused and available credit was $37.8 million under its two 364-day United States revolving credit lines and 25 million German Marks ($13.8 million) from its German credit facility. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1998 of $10.1 million was temporarily higher than normal operating levels, excess cash will be used to paydown short term debt. The Company expects that cash from operating activities plus cash balances and available external financing will be sufficient to meet its operating, dividend and capital requirements. - 9 - Restructuring of Operations - --------------------------- In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company recorded a restructuring charge which includd costs associated with the closing of the Brilon-Wald, Germany plant. As of June 30, 1998, the only incomplete aspect of that plan is the demolition of that plant as discussions continue with parties interested in purchasing the plant. The reserve balance for demolition, disposition and environmental costs totaled $6.1 million at June 30, 1998 and is deemed adequate. Capital Expenditures and Investments - ------------------------------------ Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment totaled $10.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998 compared to expenditures of $16.2 million for the same period in 1997. Investment in new information systems accounted for $4.3 million of these expenditures while $2.7 million and $2.2 million were expended on cost reduction efforts in the United States and Europe, respectively. Total capital expenditures are currently expected to be $22.0 to $24.0 million for the year 1998. The 1997 cash flow for purchase of businesses reflects $.5 million relating to a purchase price adjustment for Advanced Separation Technologies Incorporated. Year 2000 - --------- The Company is engaged in a program to modernize and replace its computerized production control and management information systems. Although not the primary purpose of the program, the new systems are scheduled to be in place by mid-1999 and are expected to be Year 2000 compliant. A task force has been established to identify other potential areas related to Year 2000 compliance. This task force is currently reviewing all of the Company's worldwide manufacturing processes which use computers or other microprocessor-based devices for monitoring and control. This project, including any required actions, will be completed during the third quarter of 1999. Based on information available at this time, management believes that the incremental costs associated with achieving Year 2000 compliance will not be material to the operating results. Discussion of the Company's efforts and management's expectations relating to Year 2000 compliance are forward-looking statements; therefore, actual results to achieve Year 2000 compliance may differ from those suggested herein. New Accounting Pronouncements - ----------------------------- In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes standards for the way companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires disclosure of selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports - 10 - issued to shareholders. The Statement also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Statement requires companies to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company is currently identifying its reportable segments and expects to adopt the Statement and disclose segment information in the annual report for the year ending December 31, 1998. Adoption of the Statement is expected to impact only financial statement disclosures. Other Matters - ------------- In a press release dated February 19, 1998, the Company announced the engagement of Morgan Stanley & Co. to explore alternatives by which shareholder value might be enhanced. Subsequent to that date, Morgan Stanley & Co. has initiated contact with parties who have expressed an interest in acquiring or merging with the Company and discussions with them are underway. - 11 - PART II - OTHER INFORMATION --------------------------- Item 4.
