Note C - Revenue Recognition
Chart Industries, Inc. ("Chart" or the "Company") uses the percentage of
completion method of accounting for significant contracts. In other cases,
revenue is recognized using the completed contract method. Management performs a
monthly assessment of major significant contracts to determine if contract costs
will exceed contract revenues. For those projects where the estimated costs
exceed estimated revenues, appropriate estimated losses are recorded. The
effects of any change orders are accounted for when agreed to by Chart's
customers.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Backlog at Chart continued to climb, reaching a record high this quarter. For
the quarter ended March 31, 1996, backlog was $112.9 million, a gain of $54.7
million, or 94 percent, over the 1995 first quarter level of $58.2 million.
Backlog rose $1.9 million, or 1.8 percent, above the $111 million level reported
at the end of the fourth quarter of 1995. New orders continued to outpace sales,
even as sales reached record levels. Strong order activity was experienced in
nearly all product markets.
Sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 were $34.7 million versus
$25.5 million for the comparable 1995 period, an increase of $9.2 million, or
36.1 percent. Chart's 1996 first quarter sales performance improved $3.7
million, or 12 percent, from sales of $31 million reported in the three-month
period ended December 31, 1995. Higher prices and higher throughput of brazed
aluminum heat exchangers, cryogenic storage tanks and transport vehicles
resulted in the majority of the increased sales when compared with the same
period last year and the prior quarter. The LIGO project which began September
1995 generated $1.3 million of sales during the 1996 first quarter.
Strong market conditions resulting in better pricing and volume, as well as
Company-wide productivity improvements, especially at Process Engineering,
produced gross profit of $10 million for the three-month period ended March 31,
1996, versus $6.6 million for the comparable period in 1995, an improvement of
$3.4 million, or 51.6 percent. This result also compared favorably to gross
profit of $9 million reported in the fourth quarter of 1995. Gross profit margin
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 improved to 28.8 percent from
25.9 percent in Chart's 1995 first quarter. Factors supporting this improved
first quarter margin performance were higher prices for brazed aluminum heat
exchangers, cryogenic storage tanks and transport vehicles. The slight decrease
in gross margin percentage from the 1995 fourth quarter figure of 29.1% is
attributed to writedowns taken in connection with the Flxible/DART LNG bus
program, on which work has currently been halted.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense for the three-month period
ended March 31, 1996 was $4.9 million, approximately the same level as in the
first quarter of 1995, and $0.2 million higher than in the fourth quarter of
1995. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expense dropped to 14.1 percent for the
1996 first quarter versus 19.1 percent and 15.2 percent for the first and fourth
quarters of 1995, respectively. The drop in this percentage was the result of an
increase in sales volume without a corresponding increase in fixed overhead
cases.
Net interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 was
$237,000, versus $463,000 and $405,000 in the 1995 first and fourth quarters,
respectively. Interest expense decreased because of lower debt levels resulting
from an increase in the Company's cash flow due to the improving operations.

As a result of extensive state and federal tax planning and restructuring over
the last few years, the Company has been able to reduce its effective tax rate
from 38% in 1995's first quarter to 34% in the first quarter of 1996.
As a result of the foregoing, Chart reported net income for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1996 of $3.4 million, or $.34 per share, versus net
income of $780,000, or $.08 per share, in the first quarter of 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash provided by operations during the three month period that ended March 31,
1996 was $9.4 million, compared to cash used by operations of $900,000 in 1995's
first quarter and cash provided by operations of $6.8 million in 1995's fourth
quarter. The Company's 1996 first quarter cash flow reflected the improved
operating performance of the Company as well as improved working capital
management after the early 1995 build-up to respond to increased backlog.
Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 1996 were $762,000, compared to
$334,000 for the same period in 1995. The majority of the 1996 expenditures
related to building improvements and the continued development of the Chart
Coastal Fabrication facility.
The Company anticipates sufficient cash flow from operations and available
borrowings to fund interest payments, dividends, capital expenditures and the
repayment of scheduled maturities of debt from the acquisition of CVI. As of
March 31, 1996, the Company's borrowings on its $25 million credit facility
totaled $4.0 million, a decrease of $7.5 million since year-end. The Company was
in compliance with all covenants related to this facility at March 31, 1996.
BACKLOG
Chart's consolidated firm order backlog at March 31, 1996 was $112.9 million, an
increase of $1.9 million from December 31, 1995.
Air separation equipment bookings continued at a strong rate, with orders
totaling $17.7 million in the 1996 first quarter. The improved order level
resulted in backlog of $46.8 million at March 31, 1996, an increase of $5.2
million from December 31, 1995.
Hydrocarbon processing equipment backlog stood at $19.2 million at the end of
the 1996 first quarter, which was unchanged from the December 31, 1995 level.
New orders and sales during the quarter each totaled $7.6 million. The expected
margin on the current backlog exceeds 35%. The 1996 first quarter margins were
below 35% due to the charges taken related to the Flxible/DART LNG bus program.
Cryogenic and high-vacuum equipment backlog was $44.2 million at March 31, 1996.
New orders totaling $4.8 million reflected continued demand for Chart's standard
cryogenic products and a new telescope coater order. This area will continue to
be dominated by LIGO for the next two years.
8
9
Specialty products backlog totaled $2.7 million at March 31, 1996, a reduction
of $2.7 million from the year-end 1995 figure as several rocket fuel road
transport trailers under contract for the U.S. Air Force were completed. The low
level of backlog in this area is not always indicative of future sales as the
redrawn stainless steel tube market runs on a few-week lead time basis.
