Tyler Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1) Discontinued Operations
On December 1, 1995, Tyler Corporation ("the Company") sold all the
outstanding capital stock of Swan Transportation Company ("Swan") to
Union Acquisition Corporation ("Union"), an Alabama corporation. In
the same transaction, Tyler Pipe Industries, Inc. ("Tyler Pipe"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, sold substantially all of its
assets to Union, and Union assumed substantially all the liabilities
of Tyler Pipe. The results of these entities are included as
discontinued operations. The assets Tyler Pipe sold and the
liabilities Union assumed included all those relating to Tyler Pipe's
business of manufacturing and marketing cast iron pipe and fittings,
excluding cash and certain other assets and liabilities. Swan is a
motor-carrier company that provided transportation services to Tyler
Pipe prior to the closing.
Based on a July 1, 1995 balance sheet, Union paid a net amount of
$66,139,000 for the stock of Swan and assets of Tyler Pipe of which
$58,540,000 was received at closing on December 1, 1995, and the net
remaining payment was received in January 1996. In addition, Tyler
Pipe distributed cash of approximately $17,700,000 to the Company from
July 1, 1995 through closing.
The net assets of discontinued operations at June 30, 1995, consist
principally of working capital (including accounts receivable,
inventories, accounts payable and accrued liabilities), property,
plant and equipment, and intangibles and other assets of Tyler Pipe.
Net sales of discontinued operations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1995, were $59,612,000 and $109,428,000, respectively.
Results of discontinued operations include interest expense on debt
associated with discontinued operations of $912,000 and $1,757,000,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995.
Income tax of $835,000 and $916,000, respectively, for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1995, has been provided on discontinued
operations based on the income tax resulting from inclusion of the
discontinued segment in the Company's consolidated federal income tax
return.
Subsequent to the closing, Tyler Pipe was renamed TPI of Texas, Inc.
("TPI"). TPI is subject to various environmental laws and regulations
and, as such, is involved in environmental matters related to the
manufacturing operations conducted prior to the sale of TPI. TPI is
also involved in legal actions, including allegations of
anticompetitive business practices and claims arising in the ordinary
course of business. Certain contingent liabilities related to these
matters were retained by TPI in the transaction. See "Commitments and
Contingencies" footnote.

(2) Commitments and Contingencies
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy
("NJDEPE") has alleged that a site where Jersey-Tyler Foundry Company
("Jersey-Tyler"),a former affiliate of TPI, once operated a foundry
contains lead and possible other priority pollutant metals and may
need on-site and off-site remediation. The foundry was operated on
the site from the early part of this century to 1969 when it was
acquired by Jersey-Tyler. Jersey- Tyler operated the foundry from
1969 to 1976, at which time the foundry was closed. Subsequently, the
property was sold to other persons who have operated a salvage yard on
the site. TPI and the NJDEPE have agreed to an administrative consent
order for TPI to perform a remedial investigation. While TPI has not
committed to further action, it is probable that the NJDEPE will seek
to require TPI to remediate the site. TPI denies liability because it
never owned the property. In connection with the sale of the assets
of TPI to Union, an affiliate of McWane, Inc., on December 1, 1995,
pursuant to an acquisition agreement among the Company, TPI and Union
(the "Acquisition Agreement"), Union agreed to manage and direct the
prosecution or defense of these matters on behalf of TPI. In
addition, Union agreed to reimburse TPI the first $3,000,000 of
certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
investigation or remediation of the site, and one-half of such
expenses in excess of $3,000,000. Under any circumstances, however,
the maximum amount that Union agreed to reimburse TPI in connection
with this matter is $6,500,000. Union, on behalf of TPI, is
proceeding against predecessor owners and operators of the site, as
well as others, to bear their share of the cost of the investigation
and any other costs, including any remediation incurred by TPI. Some
costs may also be covered by insurance although the insurance carriers
are expected to deny coverage. TPI expects Union, on its behalf, to
proceed against such insurance carriers seeking coverage of
remediation costs. Environmental consultants have been engaged to
estimate the extent of environmental contamination.
In June 1992 Anaheim Foundry Co. ("Anaheim") sued TPI in federal
district court in the Central District of California alleging that TPI
violated various antitrust laws and making other common law claims of
anticompetitive business practices. Anaheim seeks unspecified actual
damages (which may be trebled under antitrust laws), punitive damages,
attorneys' fees and injunctive relief. Union, on behalf of TPI, is
defending this lawsuit vigorously. In September 1995, the court
granted TPI's motion for partial summary judgement. In July 1996, the
court denied Anaheim's request to reconsider partial summary judgement
and Anaheim's request to amend the complaint. The court has not set
the case for trial.
- 8 -

On January 18, 1988, the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA")
notified TPI that it is a potentially responsible party at the Novak
Sanitary Landfill Superfund site in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania (the
"Novak Site"). TPI has recently negotiated a settlement agreement
with other potentially responsible parties at the Novak Site.
Although there is some possibility that the matter could be reopened
and Tyler continues to be required to guarantee its portion of the
cleanup costs, the settlement agreement should resolve TPI's liability
for the site. The settlement agreement is based in part on TPI's
payment of $213,500 and certain amounts previously paid. TPI will be
reimbursed by Union for these amounts, pursuant to the Acquisition
Agreement.
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Union agreed to manage and
direct the prosecution or defense of certain matters on behalf of TPI,
including but not limited to the Anaheim suit and remediation of the
Novak Site, and to reimburse related costs and expenses. Union agreed
to reimburse TPI the first $750,000 of all costs and expenses incurred
in connection with each such matter, and one-half of such expenses in
excess of $750,000. The maximum amount that Union agreed to reimburse
TPI in connection with all of these matters excluding Jersey- Tyler is
$8,000,000.
Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of legal or
regulatory proceedings, based on the Company's negotiations and
activities before the sale of TPI's business, the Company believes
that substantially all of the costs, expenses and damages, if any,
resulting from the legal proceedings and environmental matters
described above will be reimbursed by Union pursuant to the
Acquisition Agreement.
In connection with the sale of assets of Tyler Pipe, the Company
retained some additional legal exposure. However, the Company
believes that the resolution of any potential legal proceedings would
not be material.
In June 1995 Forest City Auto Parts Company ("Forest City") was sued
by a former executive in the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga County,
Ohio alleging that Forest City terminated the plaintiff because of his
age and making other common law claims arising out of his termination.
The plaintiff seeks damages in excess of $16,000,000. Forest City is
defending this lawsuit vigorously. The case has subsequently been
moved to federal district court in Cleveland. The Company expects
that the outcome of this lawsuit will not have a material adverse
effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations
and believes that any amounts paid in connection with this lawsuit not
covered by insurance will be immaterial.
Other than ordinary course, routine litigation incidental to the
business of the Company and except as described herein, there are no
material legal proceedings pending to which the Company or its
subsidiaries are parties or to which any of its properties are
subject.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Analysis of Results of Continuing Operations
The operations data for 1995 exclude the results of operations of Tyler Pipe
unless otherwise stated. Interest expense has been charged to discontinued
operations based on debt associated with discontinued operations. Continuing
operations consist principally of the operations of Forest City and
Institutional Financing Services ("IFS").
For the quarter ended June 30, 1996, Tyler Corporation recorded a loss before
income tax benefit of $2.5 million versus a $3.2 million loss from continuing
operations last year. Sales declined 6% to $26.6 million. For the first half
of 1996, Tyler had a loss before income tax benefit of $2.7 million compared to
a $6.1 million loss from continuing operations in 1995. Sales were $57.4
million, down 2%.
Forest City sales for both the six months and the three months ended June 30,
1996, advanced 3% while same-store sales grew 5%. Forest City's store count
declined to 63 locations after closing two unprofitable stores and relocating
one store since June 30, 1995. A higher gross margin, partially offset by
operating expenses associated with the new point- of-sale computer system,
significantly boosted operating profit during the first six months of 1996.
IFS domestic sales for the first half of 1996 declined 12% from the comparable
1995 period. The company's withdrawal from its international markets resulted
in an additional 3% drop in sales. IFS's core middle and high school markets
have become much more competitive in recent years as new entrants scramble to
make inroads. Heightened competition and the loss of selling days to harsher
winter-weather conditions contributed to a reduction in order count. IFS
domestic sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996, declined 35% with an
additional 5% decrease as a result of the closure of international markets.
Easter was earlier in 1996 shifting one week's sales from the second quarter to
the first quarter making second-quarter sales comparisons with 1995 even more
difficult. IFS historically has posted an operating loss in the first nine
months of the year and must rely on a strong fourth quarter for its annual
operating profit. The operating loss for the first half of 1996 was smaller
than the amount for the same period in 1995. The sales shortfall was offset by
a 1.6% improvement in gross margin and lower operating expenses.
Corporate expense was reduced significantly through lower expenditures and a
gain produced through the sale of an asset. This reduction, coupled with
interest income as opposed to interest expense, helped reduce the pretax loss.
The effective tax rate declined from 57% in 1995 to 54% in 1996. Although
proceeds from the sale of Tyler Pipe eliminated the Company's outstanding debt,
accounting conventions caused a large portion of interest expense to be
allocated to continuing operations in 1995.
-10-
11
In May 1996, the Company negotiated a one-year, $14-million credit facility
with its banks of which $4 million was outstanding letters of credit. Interest
rates are negotiated with the participating banks and are based on current
market conditions as evidenced by the LIBOR and Eurodollar rates. Even though
the Company had $15.5 million in cash at June 30, 1996, a portion of this
credit facility may be needed to fund the seasonal working capital requirements
of IFS. Seasonal loans, if any, would be repaid by year end.
In August 1996, the Company announced discontinuance of discussions relating to
the sale of Forest City and withdrawal of that company from the market. Talks
regarding a sale at approximately $35 million stalled because of inability to
conclude an agreement. The Company will continue to operate Forest City and in
so doing will be expansion-minded. In addition the Company will be looking at
broadening opportunities for IFS through supplementary acquisitions and market
expansion. The Company always tries to be alert for expansion opportunities
through supplementary acquisitions and market expansions as well as to
divestiture opportunities that could immediately benefit shareholders. The
Company intends to remain aggressively in business with Forest City and IFS and
to step up their acquisition search activity in an effort to diversify and
enlarge their business base.
June 30, 1996 vs. December 31, 1995
Cash and cash equivalents increased $12.3 million primarily due to the
settlement of outstanding amounts at December 31, 1995, related to the sale of
Tyler Pipe and seasonal working capital declines. In January 1996, the Company
received the net remaining payment of $7.6 million from Union for the sale of
Tyler Pipe. A substantial seasonal working capital decrease occurred at IFS,
offset somewhat by a modest increase in working capital at Forest City.
Historically, IFS generates approximately 60% of its sales in the fall.
Working capital builds from July through December with subsequent liquidations
when the company collects accounts receivable for fall sales.
In connection with the 1991 acquisition of Forest City, the Company made a
final payment of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 1996 to former
shareholders and executives of Forest City as the result of achieving certain
cumulative profit objectives. The amount paid was accrued at December 31,
1995.
Other assets and accrued liabilities each include a decline of approximately
$1.8 million relating to the settlement of certain employee benefit plans which
were primarily funded through insurance policies that the Company redeemed in
the first half of 1996.
-11-
12
June 30, 1996 vs. June 30, 1995
Working capital at June 30, 1996, rose $19.9 million from June 30, 1995,
principally due to the cash retained from the sale of Tyler Pipe which
eliminated the Company's debt and significantly lower accrued liabilities.
Inventories decreased primarily at Forest City from June 30, 1995. Forest City
store locations have declined from 65 locations at June 30, 1995 to 63
locations at June 30, 1996.
Income tax receivable increased mainly due to the tax benefit associated with
the loss on the sale of Tyler Pipe.
In connection with the sale of Tyler Pipe to Union on December 1, 1995, and
pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement among the Company, Tyler
Pipe and Union, the Company froze benefit accruals for all Tyler Pipe employees
and agreed to transfer the benefit obligation relating to the Tyler Pipe
employees and the related assets to a new plan established by Union ("the Union
Plan"). As a result, in April of 1996 the Company transferred the Tyler Pipe
employees' obligation and related asset amounts to the Union Plan. The
Company's prepaid pension expense at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 also
increased approximately $2.5 million. The Company is seeking approval to
terminate the defined benefit pension plan and expects to record a loss upon
settlement of the plan of approximately $3.0 to $4.0 million later in the year.
However, because the plan is overfunded, the Company does not anticipate any
cash contributions will be necessary to terminate the Plan.
Prior to the sale of Tyler Pipe to Union on December 1, 1995, the Company
maintained a savings and investment plan primarily for the employees at Tyler
Pipe and certain other employees of the Company. As a result of the sale, the
Company ceased substantially all contributions as of December 1, 1995. The
Company transferred all Tyler Pipe employee account balances to a new plan
established by Union in the first quarter of 1996 and anticipates terminating
the remaining savings and investment plan sometime in 1996 after obtaining all
necessary governmental approvals. Substantially all expenses relating to the
savings and investment plan are included in discontinued operations.
The deferred income tax benefit decline from June 30, 1995 is due to
recognizing benefit of foreign abandonment losses recorded in 1994 and deferred
tax related to the pension plan curtailment gain recorded in December 1995.
Accrued liabilities at June 30, 1995 were higher than 1996 due to $2.3 million
interest on related bank debt, $1.7 million for certain employee benefit plans
and $1.3 million of accrued earnout subsequently paid to former shareholders
and executives of Forest City.
