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
Sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996, were $38 million
versus $26.7 million for the comparable 1995 period, an increase of $11.2
million, or 42.1 percent. Sales growth was primarily driven by a $10.1 million
increase in sales of brazed aluminum heat exchangers, cryogenic tanks and
coldbox assemblies to the air separation equipment market. Compared with the
second quarter of 1996, sales for the third quarter of 1996 rose $7.4 million,
or 24 percent, also as a result of increased activity in the air separation
market.
Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $103.3 million versus
$81.5 million for the comparable 1995 period, an increase of $21.8 million or
26.8 percent. The increase in sales comes mainly from the brazed aluminum heat
exchanger and cryogenic tank businesses.
Gross profit for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996, was $11.3
million versus $7.3 million for the comparable period in 1995, an improvement of
$4 million, or 55.2 percent, reflecting increased sales of the Company products,
particularly brazed aluminum heat exchangers, cryogenic tanks, cold boxes, and
LIGO progress. The gross profit margin of 29.7 percent represents a 2.5
percentage point improvement over the same quarter in 1995, and is the second
best quarterly performance in the Company's history, falling slightly below the
record 32 percent reported for the 1996 second quarter. Improved productivity,
good product mix, favorable capacity utilization and increased LIGO
contributions contributed to the strong gross margin performance and offset
start-up investments at Chart Coastal and cost problems on several new product
programs.
As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was
consistent at 14 percent for the third quarter of 1996 versus 14.1 percent and
14.3 percent, for the third quarter of 1995 and the second quarter of 1996,
respectively. SG&A expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996,
was $5.3 million, approximately $1.6 million higher than in the third quarter of
1995. Compared with the second quarter of 1996, SG&A expense for the 1996 third
quarter increased $900,000 as a result of a special project to increase
throughput at ALTEC and an increase in bonus and profit sharing expense.
Net interest expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996, was
$133,000 versus $529,000 and $181,000, for the third quarter of 1995 and the
second quarter of 1996, respectively. Benefiting from strong cash flow in the
first half of 1996, the Company reduced its debt level, and as a result interest
charges declined in year-over-year and consecutive quarterly comparison. Chart
obtained a $5 million IRB for plant expansion in Wisconsin during the 1996 third
quarter; however, this had little impact on net interest as the funds are held
in an interest-bearing escrow account until expenditures are incurred.
The 1996 third-quarter effective tax rate of 34.5 percent reflects the favorable
tax structure of the Company. The Company expects an on-going effective tax rate
between 34 and 36 percent into 1997.
Chart reported net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996,
of $3.8 million, or $.38 per share, versus $2.1 million, or $.20 per share, for
the third quarter of 1995, and $3.5 million, or $.35 per share, for the second
quarter of 1996. For the ninth consecutive quarter, Chart reported improved
profitability.

Chart's nine-month net income of $10.6 million, or $1.04 per share, surpasses
the Company's best annual performance and represents an increase of $6.1
million, or 135.7 percent, over the same period of 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash used by operations during the three-month period ended September 30, 1996,
was $552,000 compared to $1 million provided by operations in 1995's third
quarter. The Company's 1996 third-quarter cash flow reflects current earnings
being completely offset by an increase in accounts receivable. The Company
expects increased cash flow in the fourth quarter as the receivables, which
built up from record third quarter sales, are collected.
During the first nine months of 1996, cash flow provided by operations was $19.2
million, an improvement of $17.2 million over 1995's same period figure of $2
million. The large cash flow in 1996 is due roughly half to earnings improvement
and half to improved customer advances and progress payments which resulted as
business conditions improved and as strategic initiatives to reduce working
capital took effect.
Capital expenditures for the third quarter of 1996 were $1.3 million compared to
$750,000 for the same period in 1995. The majority of these 1996 expenditures
relate to the plant expansion at ALTEC and the purchase of equipment for Chart
Coastal Fabrication as it nears expected operating levels.
As the Company has experienced strong financial results and maintains an outlook
for further growth, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly
dividend to $.09. This is an increase of 29% over the previous quarterly
dividend of $.07.
The Company expects 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 IRB in Wisconsin. As of
September 30, 1996, the Company's borrowings on its $25 million credit facility
totaled $4 million, an increase of $2 million since June 30, 1996. The Company
was in compliance with all covenants related to this facility as of September
30, 1996.
BACKLOG
Chart's consolidated firm order backlog at September 30, 1996, was $125.5
million versus $124.4 million at June 30, 1996. The Company's backlog at the end
of the 1996 third quarter was the highest in Chart's history, despite record
sales during this same quarter.
Air separation equipment bookings continued at strong levels, with orders
totaling $18.3 million for the 1996 third quarter. The strong order level
virtually offset the record sales of $19.4 million, accounting for the
relatively steady backlog of $44.7 million at September 30, 1996.
Hydrocarbon processing equipment backlog stood at $37.7 million on September 30,
1996, an increase of $3.8 million over June 30, 1996, levels. New orders during
the quarter totaled $11 million against sales of $6.9 million. The largest
orders in this sector were for heat exchangers supporting natural gas and LNG
processing.
8
9
Cryogenic and high vacuum equipment backlog was $41.2 million at September 30,
1996. This represents a slight decrease from the previous quarter as work
continued on LIGO, but was partially offset by slightly higher order volume.
Specialty products backlog totaled $2 million at September 30, 1996, a decrease
from $2.6 million at June 30, 1996, reflecting larger shipments for pipe hangers
and supports.
