CHART INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
June 30, 1997
Note A - Basis of Preparation
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 Article 10 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 have
been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Chart Industries,
Inc. and Subsidiaries' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1996.
All share and per-share amounts have been adjusted for a 3-for-2 stock split
which was distributed to shareholders on June 30, 1997.
Note B - Inventories
The components of inventory consist of the following:

======================
Note C - Earnings per Share
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.
At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used
to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new
requirements for calculating basic earnings per share, the dilutive effect of
stock options will be excluded. The impact is expected to result in basic
earnings per share for the six-months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 of $.63 and
$.45 per share, respectively. Fully diluted earnings per share for these
quarters should not be materially different then the currently disclosed
earnings per share.

Note D - 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.
Note E - Subsequent Event
On July 31, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of Cryenco Sciences,
Inc. ("Cryenco") (NASD: CSCI). Total consideration for the merger consisted of
$20.7 million for all outstanding common stock, preferred stock, and common
stock warrants.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sales for the three-month period that ended June 30, 1997, were $41.8 million
versus $30.6 million for the comparable 1996 period, an increase of $11.1
million, or 36.4 percent. The growth in sales was primarily the result of the
continued strength in brazed aluminum heat exchanger sales for both the air
separation and hydrocarbon processing equipment markets. Also showing strong
sales for the quarter compared to last year's second quarter, were NRU coldboxes
and high-vacuum equipment related to the LIGO project.
Sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $84.2 million versus $65.3
million for the comparable 1996 period, an increase of $18.9 million or 28.9
percent. As in the quarterly analysis, the increase in sales comes mainly from
the brazed aluminum heat exchanger businesses in both air separation and
hydrocarbon processing.
Gross profit for the three-month period that ended June 30, 1997 was $13.5
million versus $9.8 million for the comparable period in 1996, an improvement of
$3.7 million, or 37.7 percent. For the first quarter of 1997, gross profit was
$12.2 million. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $25.6
million versus $19.8 million for the comparable 1996 period, an increase of $5.8
million. Strong market conditions, particularly in the air separation equipment
market and increasingly in the hydrocarbon processing equipment market,
continued to support good pricing and higher throughput. Gross profit margin for
the three-month period that ended June 30, 1997, was 32.3 percent and tracks
well to the excellent 32 percent performance for the 1996 second quarter. Second
quarter performance also reflects recovery from 28.7 percent for the 1997 first
quarter. Products supporting this strong second quarter margin performance
included brazed aluminum heat exchangers, cold box design and fabrication, and
certain high-vacuum products including LIGO fabrication and cryopumps.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense for the three-month period
that ended June 30, 1997, was $6.3 million, approximately $1.9 million higher
than the second quarter of 1996 and $900,000 higher than the first quarter of
1997. The increase in SG&A expense in the second quarter of 1997 compared with
the year-ago quarter was primarily the result of increased efforts to position
the Company better in both its product and financial markets. As a percentage of
sales, SG&A expense was 15.1 percent for the second quarter of 1997 versus 14.3
percent and 12.7 percent for the second quarter of 1996 and the first quarter of
1997, respectively.
Net interest expense for the three-month period that ended June 30, 1997, was
$26,000 versus $181,000 for the second quarter of 1996. For the first quarter of
1997, the Company reported net interest income of $8,000. The company has
significantly reduced its level of borrowings from last year but still has
borrowings from time to time as cash needs vary.
As a result of the foregoing, Chart reported record net income for the
three-month period that ended June 30, 1997, of $4.7 million, or $.32 per
share, versus $3.6 million, or $.23 per share for the second quarter of 1996
and $4.5 million, or $.30 per share, for the first quarter of 1997. The
improvement in net income from the previous quarter represents the company's
twelfth consecutive quarter of improved profitability. The six month 1997 net
income was $9.2 million or $.62 per share, compared to $6.8 million or $.45 per
share in 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash provided by operations during the three-month period that ended June 30,
1997, was $619,000 compared with $10.4 million for 1996's second quarter and
$3.5 million for 1997's first quarter. The six month 1997 cash provided by
operations was $4.1 million compared to $19.8 million in 1996. The company's
1996 cash flow represented earnings in addition to significant cash flow from
customer advances and milestone billings on many jobs in backlog, especially
the LIGO project. During the second quarter of 1997, much of the work
progressed against the aforementioned milestone billings, thus incurring costs
without new inflows of cash. This trend is expected to continue into the third
quarter when Chart will reach several major milestones on the LIGO project.
Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 1997 were $2.1 million compared
with $847,000 for the same period in 1996. The level of capital expenditures in
1997 is related to the expansion at the ALTEC facility. These expenditures have
been and will continue to be funded, for the most part, from the recent
Industrial Revenue Bond.
The company anticipates sufficient cash flow from operations and available
borrowings to fund interest payments, dividends, the acquisition of Cryenco and
planned capital expenditures. As of June 30, 1997, the company's borrowings on
its $25 million credit facility totaled $2.5 million. The company negotiated a
new $45 million credit facility to enable it to complete the acquisition of
Cryenco.
BACKLOG
Chart's consolidated firm order backlog at June 30, 1997, was $126.6 million
versus $118.1 million at March 31, 1997.
AIR SEPARATION EQUIPMENT bookings continued at strong levels, with orders
totaling $19.4 million for the 1997 second quarter. Backlog at June 30, 1997,
was $45.4 million after supporting strong quarterly sales of $16.9 million.
HYDROCARBON PROCESSING EQUIPMENT backlog reached $53.2 million at June 30, 1997,
an increase of $13.8 million over March 31, 1997 levels. New orders during the
quarter totaled $23.0 million against sales of $9.8 million. The new orders
included numerous brazed aluminum heat exchangers and LNG Core-in-Kettle(R)
units as well as an order to fabricate several large coldboxes for export to
Trinidad. The company has experienced strong demand for hydrocarbon processing
equipment, including the innovative Core-in-Kettle(R) products from the growth
of the international ethylene market.
9
10
CRYOGENIC AND HIGH-VACUUM EQUIPMENT backlog was $24.9 million at the end of the
1997 second quarter, with the LIGO project accounting for $16.5 million of this
backlog. New orders totaled $2.5 million, reflecting continued demand for
Chart's standard cryogenic products, including helium systems and large
cryopumps.
SPECIALTY PRODUCTS backlog totaled $3.1 million at June 30, 1997, down $1.1
million from the first quarter of 1997.
