PENWEST, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation for
the interim periods presented have been included. Operating results
for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending August 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
PENWEST's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August
31, 1996.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with
current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on
previously reported results of operations.
2. Other Income
During the first quarter of fiscal 1997 the Company sold its remaining
Southern California air credits that related to the operations of
Great Western Malting Co., a division of the Company sold in 1989.
The sale of the credits resulted in a pretax gain of $1.2 million that
is included in other income for the six months ended February 28,
1997.
3. Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended
February 28, 1997 were 30% and 32%, respectively, compared to the
statutory rate of 34%. The effective tax rate in the similar prior
year periods was 31%. The effective rate was lower than the statutory
rate due to state tax refunds received by the Company in fiscal 1996
and 1997.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity
At February 28, 1997, PENWEST had working capital of $27.8 million, a $35.0
million unsecured credit agreement under which there was $20.3 million
outstanding, and several uncommitted lines of credit aggregating $15.0 million
with two banks that may be used for overnight borrowings under which there was
$9.6 million outstanding. The Company used operating cash flow and debt to
finance capital expenditures and operating activities during the first six
months of the fiscal year. Cash flow from operations for the six months ended
February 28, 1997 was $8.7 million compared to $8.6 million in the
corresponding period a year ago.
The Company paid dividends of $0.05 per share on December 6, 1996 and March 7,
1997.
Capital Resources
Additions to property, plant and equipment during the six months ended February
28, 1997 were $13.6 million. Second quarter additions of $5.1 million were
primarily for capacity expansion at Penwest Foods' facility in Richland,
Washington and ongoing improvements at Penford Products' facility in Cedar
Rapids, Iowa.
Results of Operations
Net income was $1.3 million, or $0.18 per share, for the second quarter
compared to net income of $908,000, or $0.13 per share, for the corresponding
period a year ago. Net income for the six months was $2.7 million, or $0.38
per share, which is unchanged from the comparable prior year period. The first
quarter of fiscal year 1997 included other income of $1.2 million representing
$800,000 after tax, or $0.11 per share, from the sale of the remaining Southern
California air credits related to the operations of Great Western Malting Co.,
a division of the Company sold in 1989.
Sales increased in the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal year
1997 to $48.3 million and $97.6 million, respectively, representing increases
of 4.3% and 6.2%, respectively, from the corresponding periods a year ago. The
increases were primarily due to higher volumes at Penford and Penwest Foods.
Sales volume increases of Penford Gums, Penford's family of hydroxyethylated
starches, were attributable to stronger demand from our paper industry
customers as well as market share improvement. Corn costs, a key component
used in pricing Penford's paper chemical products, decreased significantly in
the second quarter as compared to the same quarter a year ago, partially
offsetting the volume increases reflected in total sales. Penwest Foods' sales
increased as a result of stronger demand for its food grade potato starches.
Gross margin in the second quarter improved to 25.3% from 24.0% in the
corresponding period a year earlier primarily as a result of decreased corn
prices and improved operating effectiveness. Volume gains on Penford's starch
copolymer products, a higher gross margin product, also had a positive impact.

8
Operating expenses in the second quarter rose $612,000, or 7.2%, as compared to
the prior year period. For the six month period ended February 26, 1997,
operating expenses increased 4.0%. The increase in operating expenses is
primarily due to increased investment at Penwest Pharmaceuticals Group.
Net interest expense for the first half of fiscal year 1997 was $2.6 million
compared to $2.3 million for the corresponding period a year ago. The increase
reflects lower investment income and higher debt levels throughout the current
year.
Recent Development
On February 19, 1997, Penwest Pharmaceuticals Group and Leiras OY, a subsidiary
of Schering AG, announced that a Product License Application (the equivalent
of a U.S. New Drug Application) had been submitted in Europe for a controlled
release tablet version of Leiras' anti- incontinence drug, Oxybutynin, marketed
as Cystrin(R). This controlled release version of Cystrin uses PPG's patented
TIMERx(R) controlled release delivery system. This submission is the first
regulatory filing for the TIMERx(R) technology.
Forward-looking Statements
The above discussion contains forward-looking statements. There are certain
important factors that could cause results to differ materially from those
anticipated by the statements made above. These factors include, but are not
limited to, the market price of corn and corn by- products, the economic
condition of the paper industry, competition, product development risks, patent
and intellectual property matters, and regulatory and manufacturing issues.
Additional information on these and other factors which could affect the
Company's financial results is included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report to
Shareholders, its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, and its
Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 1996, on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
