Operating results for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended August 30,
1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the fiscal year ending November 29, 1997.
The Company's fiscal year is the fifty-two or fifty-three week period
ending on the Saturday nearest to November 30. The quarter and year-to-date
periods ended August 31, 1996, and August 30, 1997, each include thirteen and

TECNOL MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Net income per common and common equivalent share was computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common
stock equivalents outstanding during the periods. Stock options are the only
common stock equivalents.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), "Earnings per Share." This
Statement establishes and simplifies standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 128 the
first quarter of fiscal year 1998. SFAS 128 replaces primary and fully diluted
earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company does
not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 128 to have a material impact on earnings
per share.

NOTE 6 -- RECLASSIFICATION
Prior to August 30, 1997, the Company classified amortization expense
related to goodwill and noncompete agreements as other expense and amortization
expense related to other purchased intangible assets and patents and trademarks
as general and administrative expense. Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal
1997, all amortization expense is shown as a component of operating income.
This change in classification has no effect on reported net income. These
amounts in prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform
to the current year presentation.
NOTE 7 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On September 4, 1997, Tecnol entered into a definitive agreement with
Kimberly-Clark Corporation ("Kimberly-Clark") and Vanguard Acquisition Corp., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Kimberly-Clark ("Sub"), which provides for the
merger of Sub with and into Tecnol, with Tecnol surviving as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Kimberly-Clark. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
agreement, each share of Tecnol stock (other than shares of Tecnol stock owned
directly or indirectly by Tecnol or Kimberly-Clark, which will be canceled)
will be converted into 0.42 of a share of Kimberly-Clark common stock. The
merger is subject to certain conditions, including approval by holders of a
majority of shares of Tecnol stock and certain regulatory approvals.
Kimberly-Clark is a leading global manufacturer and marketer of personal care,
consumer tissue, and away-from-home products. The merger is expected to take
place by the end of 1997.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
This analysis of the Company's operations encompassing the quarter and
year-to-date periods ended August 31, 1996, and August 30, 1997, should be
considered in conjunction with the condensed consolidated balance sheets,
statements of income and statements of cash flows.
Results of Operations
Net sales increased 8.3% from $36.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal
1996 to $38.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1997. For the nine month
period, net sales increased 8.0% from $107.6 million in fiscal 1996 to $116.1
million in fiscal 1997. The growth in net sales was principally the result of
increases in unit sales of existing products and, to a lesser extent, new
product introductions and increased sales from contract manufacturing. The
International Division experienced a sales increase of approximately 1.6% for
the third quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1996
and an increase of 9.9% for the nine month period of 1997 compared to the nine
month period of 1996. Sales of the U.S. Hospital Division increased 9.7% for
the third quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal
1996 and increased 6.9% for the nine month period in fiscal 1997 as compared to
fiscal 1996. Sales of the Specialty Markets Division increased 14.2% for the
third quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1996
and increased 8.4% for the nine month period in fiscal 1997 as compared to
fiscal 1996. The Orthopedic Division experienced a sales increase of 13.6% for
the third quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal
1996 and a sales increase of 6.3% for the nine month period in fiscal 1997 as
compared to fiscal 1996. Sales of the Industrial Products Division increased
15.4% for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to the third quarter of
fiscal 1996 and increased 2.7% for the nine month period in fiscal 1997 as
compared to fiscal 1996. Contract manufacturing generated sales of
approximately $2.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to
approximately $2.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1996. For the nine
month period, contract manufacturing sales increased 20.1% from $6.9 million in
fiscal 1996 to $8.3 million in fiscal 1997.
The gross profit margin increased from 37.8% in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996 to 44.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 1997. Gross profit margin
in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 was lower in part due to adjustments made
to inventory which amounted to approximately $1 million, the majority of which
were related to potentially obsolete inventory. For the nine month period, the
gross profit margin increased from 42.1% in fiscal 1996 to 44.8% in fiscal
1997. Gross profit margin was positively impacted by efficiency gains created
by a decrease in manufacturing employee turnover, reduction of overtime hours
worked, and an improvement in manufacturing quality. This positive impact was
partially offset by an increase in contract manufacturing, which provides a
lower gross profit margin than sales to distributors. Operating margin from
contract manufacturing is consistent with the corporate average, as minimal
selling expenses are incurred.
Selling expenses increased 13.5% from $5.5 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996 to $6.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1997. For the nine
month period, selling expenses increased 6.2% from $17.5 million in fiscal 1996
to $18.6 million in fiscal 1997. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses
increased from 15.4% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 to 16.1%
of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 and decreased from 16.2% in
the first nine months of fiscal 1996 to 15.9% in the first nine months of 1997.
The Company did not increase the number of sales
10
11
territories or sales professionals as total sales increased. Additionally, the
increase in contract manufacturing has been accomplished with minimal sales
support.
General and administrative expenses decreased 16.9% from $3.1 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 1996 to $2.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal
1997. During the third quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company incurred additional
bad debt expense of approximately $1.1 million attributable to rebate disputes
anticipated to result in uncollectible accounts receivable and the insolvency
of an Italian distributor. For the nine month period, general and
administrative expenses have increased 5.0% from $7.0 million in fiscal 1996 to
$7.4 million in fiscal 1997. As a percentage of net sales, general and
administrative expenses were 8.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 (6.5% in
the first nine months of 1996) compared to 6.7% in the third quarter of fiscal
1997 (6.3% in the first nine months of 1997).
Income from operations increased 89.1% from $3.9 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 1996 to $7.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 as a
result of the foregoing factors. For the nine month period, income from
operations increased 29.3% from $17.8 million in fiscal 1996 to $23.0 million
in fiscal 1997. Operating margin increased from 10.9% in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996 to 19.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 1997. For the nine month
period, operating margin increased from 16.6% in fiscal 1996 to 19.8% in fiscal
1997.
Other income (expense) represented expense of approximately $743,000 in
the third quarter of fiscal 1996, compared to income of approximately $113,000
in the third quarter of fiscal 1997. During the third quarter of fiscal year
1996, the Company tentatively agreed to settle a class action lawsuit brought
against the Company and certain of its senior executives. In connection with
the settlement agreement the Company reserved and expensed $550,000. For the
nine month period, other expense totaled approximately $961,000 in fiscal 1996,
compared to income of approximately $72,000 in fiscal 1997. The Company has
incurred lower interest expense, as certain long-term debt has been repaid.
Interest income has increased as the Company's cash balance has increased.
Tecnol's effective income tax rate increased from 33.3% in the third
quarter of fiscal 1996 (33.4% for the first nine months of fiscal 1996) to
36.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 (35.5% for the first nine months of
fiscal 1997). The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 1996 is lower
than the statutory rate due to revisions in estimated reserves required for
federal income taxes. The Company expects the effective tax rate to be
approximately 36.5% for the remainder of fiscal 1997.
Net income increased 125.6% from $2.1 million in the third quarter of 1996
to $4.8 million in the third quarter of 1997 as a result of the foregoing
factors. For the nine month period, net income increased 32.6% from $11.2
million in fiscal 1996 to $14.9 million in fiscal 1997. Net income per share
increased 118.2% from $0.11 in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 to $0.24 in the
third quarter of fiscal 1997. For the nine month period, net income per share
increased 32.1% from $0.56 in fiscal 1996 to $0.74 in fiscal 1997.
Over the past few years, legislation designed to significantly reform the
way health care services are provided in the United States has been proposed.
The Company cannot predict whether any significant legislation will be enacted
into law or, if enacted, what effect the legislation will have on its business.
There are also changes in the structure and business methods within the health
care industry initiated by the private sector through hospital group purchasing
organizations, managed
11

care, and other strategies. The objective of some of these changes is to reduce
costs of health care, including the hospital cost of medical devices. These
changes include changes in the methods and strategies used in the sales,
marketing, distribution, and purchasing of medical devices. The Company cannot
quantify what effect, if any, these changes will have on its business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company believes that cash flow from operations, existing cash, and
periodic utilization of its line of credit will be sufficient to meet working
capital requirements and normal capital expenditures for the foreseeable
future.
Tecnol owns 25 acres of land in Fort Worth, Texas on which the Company
plans to build a central distribution facility for finished goods, with
completion expected in fiscal 1998 at an estimated cost of $10 million. These
plans are subject to change as a result of the recent agreement to merge with
Kimberly-Clark. The Company owns approximately 10 acres of land in Acuna,
Mexico, on which the Company is nearing completion of a 91,000 square foot
facility to be used for office space, manufacturing, and warehousing. The cost
of the land and this facility is expected to be approximately $3.5 million. The
Company is nearing completion of a project to add space for engineering and
product development to its headquarters building and is also planning to add
approximately 56,000 square feet to its headquarters building in order to add
additional manufacturing space. The estimated cost for both projects is $4.45
million, with completion expected in 1998. The size of the addition, and the
estimated cost, is subject to change as a result of the recent agreement to
merge with Kimberly-Clark. The Company may use long-term bank financing, or
alternative financing if more desirable, for these facilities projects and any
acquisition opportunities that may arise.
The Company's working capital increased from $48.5 million at the end of
fiscal 1996 to $54.5 million at August 30, 1997. Net cash generated by
operating activities for the nine months ended August 30, 1997, totaled $19.7
million. For the nine month period of fiscal 1997, cash generated by operating
activities was used to repay approximately $3.4 million of long-term debt and
to purchase approximately $9.4 million of property, plant, and equipment. Net
cash and cash equivalents at August 30, 1997, totaled approximately $11.1
million.
On August 30, 1997, the Company had no amount outstanding and $12,500,000
available under its bank line of credit. The line of credit, which carries an
interest rate of prime on all funds drawn, expires March 14, 1998. On August
30, 1997, the Company also had $3,850,000 available under a reducing revolving
bank line of credit (at prime interest rate).
Subsequent Event
On September 4, 1997, Tecnol entered into a definitive agreement with
Kimberly-Clark Corporation ("Kimberly-Clark") and Vanguard Acquisition Corp., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Kimberly-Clark ("Sub"), which provides for the
merger of Sub with and into Tecnol, with Tecnol surviving as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Kimberly-Clark. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
agreement, each share of Tecnol stock (other than shares of Tecnol stock owned
directly or indirectly by Tecnol or Kimberly-Clark, which will be canceled)
will be converted into 0.42 of a share of Kimberly-Clark common stock. The
merger is subject to certain conditions, including approval by holders of a
majority of shares of Tecnol stock and certain regulatory approvals.

Kimberly-Clark is a leading global manufacturer and marketer of personal care,
consumer tissue, and away-from-home products. The merger is expected to take
place by the end of 1997.
New Accounting Standard
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), "Earnings per Share." This
Statement establishes and simplifies standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 128 the
first quarter of fiscal year 1998. SFAS 128 replaces primary and fully diluted
earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company does
not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 128 to have a material impact on earnings
per share.
Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Statements, either written or oral, which express the Company's
expectation for the future with respect to financial performance or operating
strategies can be identified as forward-looking statements. These statements
are made to provide the public with management's assessment of the Company's
business.
Caution must be taken to consider these statements in the context in which
they are made, including assumptions which are explicitly or implicitly
included in the statements, and in light of the following factors and
assumptions: current and contemplated cost-containment measures will be
successfully implemented; products in development will be introduced
successfully and on schedule; the Company will make acquisitions which
contribute to profitability; key distributors will make purchases at the same
level as their sales; demand for the Company's products will follow recent
growth trends; the Company will continue to expand into markets other than U.S.
hospitals; competitors will not introduce new products which will substantially
reduce Tecnol's market share or pricing in its significant product lines;
conversion from standard face masks to specialty face masks will continue in
the markets Tecnol serves; and the Company will continue to manufacture high
quality products at competitive costs and maintain or increase product pricing.
In the event any of the above factors do not occur as management
anticipates, actual results could differ materially from the expectations
expressed in the forward-looking statements. The Company may or may not update
information contained in previously released forward-looking statements and
does not assume the duty to do so.
