PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) General Development of Business
Chemi-Trol Chemical Co. ("the Company") was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Ohio in 1952.
(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments
The sales and operating profit of each industry segment and the
identifiable assets attributable to each industry segment for the three years
ended December 31, 1997 are set forth in Note 13 (Information pertaining to
industry segments) of the Notes to Financial Statements, which note is
incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Narrative Description of Business
PRESENT ORGANIZATION
The Company is organized on an operational basis into two divisions: Tank
Division, located in Fremont, Ohio and the Chemical Group, located in
Gibsonburg, Ohio. Each division is headed by a General Manager who reports
directly to the Company's executive officers in Gibsonburg, Ohio. In addition
the Company has a Leasing and Finance Division for the purpose of offering to
its qualified customers two alternate methods of financing the purchase of its
tank products. In 1997, consistent with the Company's prior practice, income and
expense of the Leasing and Finance Division are recorded either in the Tank
Division or in unallocated corporate income and expense.
The Company announced on December 6, 1996 it had retained McDonald &
Company to advise it in connection with the possible sale of two of its non-core
businesses, the Cal-Van Tools and the Cory Orchard & Turf Divisions. After a
strategic review of the Company's business segments Chemi-Trol's Board of
Directors determined that to maximize future growth and profitability it should
concentrate on its Chemical and Tank Segments, which offer the best opportunity
for sustained earnings growth for the Company.
On March 25, 1997, the Company sold its Cory Orchard and Turf Division to
Terra International, Inc. for approximately $4.8 million under an asset purchase
agreement.
On November 18, 1997, the Company completed the sale of certain assets of
its Cal-Van Tools Division to Eagle Tools, Inc. (Eagle), an Affiliate of Horizon
Tool, Inc. Eagle purchased inventory, machinery, equipment, fixtures, dies and
the Cal-Van Tools name for a cash payment of $1.5 million and a note of
approximately $2.3 million. Chemi-Trol retained and is currently collecting
accounts receivable of approximately $4.8 million. Real estate with an
approximate cost of $1.7 million and a carrying value of approximately $900,000
was also retained by Chemi-Trol and is being leased to Eagle under a one-year
lease expiring November 1998.
AGREEMENT FOR ACQUISITION OF THE COMPANY
On February 20, 1998 the Company and Harsco (NYSE:HSC) executed an
Agreement and Plan of Merger providing for the acquisition of the Company by
Harsco for approximately $46 million or $23.00 per share. Completion of the
transaction is subject to the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of
the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and the expiration or
early termination of the applicable waiting period for antitrust review of the
transaction, among other conditions. The Company anticipates closing the
transaction in the Spring of 1998.

TANK DIVISION
PRODUCTS
Through its Tank Division, the Company manufactures steel pressure tanks
for above ground and underground storage of liquefied petroleum gas ("LPG") and
anhydrous ammonia ("NH3") at its plant located in Fremont, Ohio. The steel tanks
are manufactured in sizes ranging from 120 gallon water capacity to 1990 gallon
water capacity for LPG tanks and from 250 gallon water capacity to 2050 gallon
water capacity for NH3 tanks. Approximately 95% of the tanks manufactured by the
Company are for the storage of LPG. The Tank Division accounted for 75%, 72%,
and 71% of the Company's total revenues for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
Sales of the Company's tanks are made directly by the Company to either
regional independent dealers or major multi-state marketers within a marketing
radius of approximately 1,000 miles from Fremont, Ohio. The 20 largest
industrial customers of the Company accounted for approximately one third of the
net sales of this division for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.
The Company stimulates sales through the efforts of its own sales
personnel, personal telephone calls to existing and potential customers, direct
mail advertising, publication and distribution of catalogues, advertisements in
trade journals and attendance at various trade shows. Sales of the Company's
tanks to major multi-state marketers are made by the Tank Division's sales
manager from its principal office located in Fremont, Ohio. Sales to independent
dealers are made through Company salesmen and independent sales representative
organizations. Each of the independent sales organizations is assigned an
exclusive territory and are compensated by commissions based upon sales in their
respective territory under agreements terminated with notice by either party.
The Company transports its steel tanks to its customers by means of its own
truck fleet.
FINANCING OF CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS
Sales of this division's products are normally made on a net basis. The
Company does, however, offer to its qualified customers two alternate methods of
financing the purchase of its steel tanks, which are explained under "Leasing
and Finance Division," on page 4.
RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES
Steel plate is the major raw material used by the Company in the
manufacture of steel pressure tanks. The Company purchases steel plate from a
variety of domestic and foreign sources. Although the Company believes that it
will be able to obtain its steel plate requirements from multiple sources on a
competitive basis, the inability of the Company to obtain a satisfactory supply
of steel plate could have a materially adverse effect on its tank manufacturing
operations.
BACKLOG
The dollar amounts of backlog of the Tank Division believed to be firm as
of March 1, 1998 and 1997 were $4,560,000 and $4,514,000, respectively. All of
the 1998 backlog is expected to be filled during 1998.
COMPETITION
The markets for the Company's steel tanks are highly competitive and the
Company competes with other companies having a higher total sales volume and
greater financial resources than the Company. The competition in these markets
is based primarily on service and price. Two of the Company's largest
competitors are Trinity Industries, Inc. of Dallas, Texas and American Welding
and Tank Co. of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

REGULATIONS
The manufacture of steel pressure tanks by the Company is subject to close
regulation. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers ("ASME") prescribes
minimum standards and specifications relating to (i) the size and chemical
properties of steel plate, (ii) the manufacturing process (including welding
procedures and testing) and (iii) the pressure capacity of steel tanks and
valves. These standards are enforced by the National Board of Boiler and
Pressure Vessels Inspectors, which commissions inspectors who perform
independent inspection through insurance companies. These inspectors inspect all
phases of the manufacturing process as well as the finished product. Steel tanks
manufactured by the Company must be certified by these inspectors to be in
compliance with the regulations prescribed by the ASME, and all propane vessels
are registered with the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessels Inspectors
prior to their sales to the customers of the Company. Although the manufacture
of steel pressure tanks is subject to close regulation, the Company may be held
liable, by warranty or otherwise, for damages resulting from tank failure,
including damages to the environment.
CHEMICAL GROUP
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The Chemical Group's operations are divided into two divisions: the
Contracting Division & CADCO, the material distribution division.
The Contracting Division is comprised of the pavement marking and the
vegetation management departments. The pavement marking department provides,
under contract, various forms of pavement marking. These services include fast
dry alkyd, fast dry water-borne, and polyester paint striping, the installation
of preformed plastic and the measurement, determination and marking of
"no-passing" zones on highways. The vegetation management department applies
under contract various types of vegetation control materials including selective
herbicides for weed, brush and grass control, as well as nonselective herbicides
for total vegetation control.
The CADCO division sells herbicides, adjuvants, plant growth regulators,
sprayers, pavement marking products and other related equipment and products.
The Chemical Group accounted for 25%, 28% and 29% of the Company's revenues
for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
Sales of the products and services offered by the Chemical Group are made
throughout 21 states in the midwestern, eastern and southern parts of the United
States. Approximately 95% of the total net sales of the Chemical Group are to
various state, county, municipal and township highway departments, drainage
commissions and toll road authorities. The balance of the net sales of this
division are derived primarily from public utilities, pipeline companies,
railroads, general contractors and other industrial, commercial and
noncommercial users. During the past three years, approximately 90% of the net
sales of this division were derived from contracts entered into with various
governmental authorities located in the states of Ohio, West Virginia, Michigan,
Indiana, New York, Kentucky and Tennessee.
The work performed by the Chemical Group is seasonal inasmuch as warm dry
weather is needed to apply pavement marking and vegetation control materials.
The season in the Company's general area of operations is from April 1 through
November 30. This season is extended on occasions when the Company is able to
obtain contracts in Southern states where the more favorable weather conditions
allow work to be performed December through March.
The Chemical Group's highway operations with various governmental
authorities are generally conducted under fixed price contracts awarded by the
governmental authorities for a fixed period of time ranging from a few months to
two years. These contracts generally require the Company to comply with
standards and specifications relating to (i) the type and amount of chemicals,
paints and polyesters used by the Company, (ii) the type, size and number of
applicating units used by the Company, (iii) the training, work experience and
licensing of the
3
5
personnel used by the Company and (iv) the method of application of chemicals,
paints, polyesters and plastics used by the Company.
The Company owns the equipment it uses in its operation of the Chemical
Group.
SUPPLIES
The principal supplies used by the pavement marking department are paint,
polyester, glass beads, and preformed plastic materials. The Company obtains
these materials from a wide range of suppliers. Herbicides used in vegetation
management and CADCO material sales are obtained from a wide range of suppliers.
The Company does not believe that the loss of any one source of supply would
have a material effect on its business.
BACKLOG
The dollar amounts of backlog of the Chemical Group believed to be firm as
of March 1, 1998 and 1997 were approximately $6,011,000 and $2,909,000,
respectively. Dollar amounts of backlog can vary significantly based upon the
timing of bid lettings and the division's success in obtaining contracts and are
not necessarily indicative of the results for the year. All of the contracts
comprising the 1998 backlog are expected to be completed during 1998.
COMPETITION
The business done by the Chemical Group is highly competitive. Most
contracts are awarded on the basis of price, reputation, experience and ability
to perform. The number of competitors is greatly reduced as the size of the job
and the complexity of tasks to be performed are increased. Generally, the
competitors of the Company are local companies operating in a particular
geographical area. Although reliable statistics are not available, the Company
believes that based on annual net sales of the Chemical Group, it is one of the
larger contractors in the states in which it operates in the application of
highway vegetation control materials and of highway pavement marking and
striping materials.
Since the Company obtains all of its public contracts through competitive
bidding, there can be no assurance that the Company will retain all of its
present contracts after their respective dates of expiration nor is there any
assurance that the Company's record of obtaining additional contracts will
continue. Although the Company believes that its relationship with its customers
is good, loss of existing contracts due to expiration or cancellation could have
a materially adverse effect on the Company's net sales and net income.
REGULATIONS
Much of the Chemical Group's business is oriented to highway safety
considerations. Regulations applicable to the various public authorities with
whom the Company contracts affect the demand and specifications for highway
striping and vegetation control performed by the Company.
LEASING AND FINANCE DIVISION
Through the Company's Leasing and Finance Division, its qualified customers
are offered two alternate methods of financing the purchase of the Company's
steel tanks (the "Tank Finance Plan" and the "Tank Lease Plan").
Under the Tank Finance Plan, the Company finances 90% of the sales price
over a 24 to 48 month period at an effective annual interest rate which during
1997 was approximately 10.25%. The Company retains a security interest in the
tanks as additional security for the payment of the financed amount. The
installment paper evidencing the customer's obligation is either held by the
Company as an investment, sold with recourse for the principal amount thereof to
the Company's profit sharing plan or pledged as collateral for borrowings over a
like period. In 1997, the Company did not borrow under the latter arrangement
but sold with recourse $1,672,000 in notes to the Company's profit sharing plan.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, approximately 15% of the total net
sales of the Tank Division were sold to customers under the Tank Finance Plan.
4
6
Under the Tank Lease Plan, leases of liquid propane gas tanks to customers
for noncancellable terms of five or ten years are recorded as sales at
inception. The present value of the minimum payments is included in net sales
and the cost of the tanks is charged to cost of sales. Estimated residual values
of the leased tanks are not significant. During the fiscal year ended December
31, 1997, the Leasing and Finance Division invested in approximately $395,220 in
customer sales type leases. Approximately 1% of the total net sales of the Tank
Division for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 were made under the Tank
Lease Plan.
In 1997, consistent with the Company's prior practice, income and expense
of the Leasing and Finance Division are recorded in the Tank Division and in
unallocated corporate income and expense.
PATENTS, LICENSES, FRANCHISES AND CONCESSIONS
The Company does not own any patents nor is it licensed under any patent
licenses. It does not hold any franchises or concessions from any governmental
body.

to a collective bargaining agreement between the Company and the United
Steelworkers of America, AFL-CIO-CLC, Local 1915. The current agreement will
expire April 30, 1999.
Seasonal employees in the Company's Chemical Group are subject to a
collective bargaining agreement between the Company and Laborers International
Union Local 480, which will expire March 1, 1999.
The Company believes that its relations with its Union and other employees
is good, and does not anticipate problems in negotiating new collective
bargaining agreements.
ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT
The Company consumes electricity, propane gas, natural gas and various
fuels in manufacturing, in selling its products and services and in lighting and
heating the facilities it operates. Although the Company has never experienced
any significant interruptions of its operations due to shortages of energy,
there can be no assurance that a serious curtailment of the availability of such
fuels or acceptable substitutes would not adversely affect the Company's
operations.
Federal, state and local authorities are considering various legislation
and regulations related to environmental and energy matters. The Company is not
aware of any presently existing legislation relating to such matters which has
or will have a materially adverse effect upon the Company's operations or which
will require material capital expenditures in the next two years; however, the
Company cannot predict the effect of future legislation or regulations.

(1) The Company believes that its properties are adequately maintained, are in
good condition and are suitable and adequate for its business as presently
conducted.
(2) The Company believes these facilities are being used to approximately 75 to
100 percent of their capacity.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company, along with fourteen other parties, has been designated in a
letter dated July 13, 1995, as a potentially responsible party by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") at the County Line Landfill,
Fremont, Ohio under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended. The EPA is requesting that the potentially
responsible parties initiate an Engineering Evaluation and Cost Analysis (EECA)
to evaluate what future response activities may be necessary at the site, which
was licensed and operated as a landfill from 1969 to 1984. The potentially
responsible parties have commenced participation in an engineering evaluation at
the site. There is no volumetric ranking of the parties available. Although the
EPA takes a position that any potentially responsible party is liable jointly
and severally for response costs, the Company is only one of many parties
believed to have used the site. There is also no information as to the extent
and nature of any necessary future response action to the site. During the
period in question the Company maintained various insurance policies and
management is exploring the availability of coverage of claims which may arise.
Because of the preliminary state of this matter and lack of information, it is
not possible to estimate the financial impact or range of probable financial
impact on the Company. During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company
expensed $9,132, its portion of the expenses of the current engineering
evaluation. Since 1995 the Company has not reflected any amount or accrued
expenses to cover any future cost of additional evaluation or remediation
relating to the site. While the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot now be
predicted, the Company believes, based on the facts now known to it, that costs
arising out of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's shareholders during
the last quarter of the period covered by this report.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is the measure of a company's ability to generate adequate funds
to meet its needs. Funds can be generated internally from operations or
externally by borrowing. Primary measures of liquidity include the amount of
working capital, the working capital ratio and the ability to borrow funds. As
shown in the following chart, the Company's ability to borrow funds remains
strong as evidenced by the working capital ratio, the unused commitment for term
financing and the unpledged notes and leases at December 31, 1997.
1997 1996 1995
----------- ----------- -----------
Working capital....................................... $11,317,456 $11,945,525 $14,430,716
Working capital ratio................................. 2.3 to 1 1.6 to 1 1.9 to 1
Unused commitment for term financing of customer notes
and leases.......................................... $ 7,000,000 $ 4,780,500 $ 2,076,500
Unpledged notes and leases from Tank customers........ $ 6,016,264 $ 1,407,022 $ 1,310,185
During 1997 both working capital and the working capital ratio increased as
proceeds from the sale of the Cory Orchard and Turf Division and the sale, late
in the year, of the Cal-Van Tools Division improved the Company's overall
liquidity. In 1997 cash flow provided by discontinued operations was $2,412,214
from operating activities and $6,299,533 from the cash proceeds from the sales
of discontinued operations.
The decreases in working capital and working capital ratio in 1996 were
largely the result of the balloon payment on the mortgage note, which is secured
by the Tank Production facility and was due in October of 1997. The Company
elected to refinance this note on a long-term basis and paid an additional
$1,500,000 towards principal late in 1997.
A substantial amount of the Company's working capital over the past three
years has been provided from operations. Long-term borrowings of $3,379,808 in
1996 and $8,300,500 in 1995 were used to finance customer sales type leases or
notes receivable for the purchase of steel tanks produced by the Company's Tank
Division, pursuant to the arrangements described under ITEM 1 BUSINESS Leasing
and Finance Division. This financing has been arranged through area banks. The
Company has a commitment to provide term financing for tank notes and leases
extended to customers for amounts up to $7,000,000, of which all $7,000,000 was
available at year end. The total amounts borrowed with collateral under the
lease and finance plans at December 31, 1997 were $-0- and $1,548,210,
respectively.
Due to the seasonal nature of the operations of the Company's Chemical
Group and extension of fall payment terms in the Tank division, the Company has
an uneven cash flow pattern. Operations of the Chemical Group begin
approximately mid-April and run through November. There are substantial cash
requirements in the second quarter for this division associated with inventory
build up and the purchase of equipment and supplies. Since the majority of the
contracts performed by this division are for political subdivisions and the
contracts stretch over the entire summer season, a fair percentage of the
payments are not received until mid-September and October. This creates a cash
shortage from June to October which has made it necessary for the Company to
borrow short-term funds. For this reason, the Company has arranged a short-term
borrowing line of
8
10
$15,750,000 through local banks. In 1997 the Company used amounts ranging from
month-end amounts of $2,965,000 to $-0- at year end of its short-term credit
line.
Cash flows used by financing activities were $11,027,501 in 1997 and
$3,128,022 in 1996 compared to cash flows provided by financing activities of
$809,704 in 1995. The elimination of short term borrowings and the payments of
long term debt were the primary use of cash by financing activities in 1997.
Capital expenditures during 1997 increased slightly to $890,864 from the
previous year expenditures of $821,059. Expenditures during 1995 included the
addition of a 31,750 square foot warehouse to provide Cal-Van with better
storage of its inventory and a more efficient production layout.

Capital expenditures............................ $890,864 $821,059 $1,747,523
Capital expenditures are budgeted at $1,913,485 for 1998 and includes
budgeted additions of $1,331.000 in machinery and equipment at the Tank
Division. The Company intends to make these expenditures with funds provided
from operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant events affecting the Company's earnings and financial condition
during the years included in the accompanying financial statements. The
Company's continuing operations are in two operating segments in separate
industries. The Tank Division produces and sells steel pressure tanks for the
storage of liquid propane gas and anhydrous ammonia primarily to customers in
the U. S. and Canada. The Chemical Group operations involve the sale and
application of highway pavement marking and vegetation control materials
primarily in the northeastern quarter of the U. S. In March of 1997 the Company
sold its Cory Orchard and Turf Division and in November of 1997 the Company
completed the sale of certain assets of its Cal Van Tools Division. Accordingly,
these operations, have been reclassified and reported as discontinued
operations.
Except for historical information, all of the statements, expectations and
assumptions contained in the following are forward looking statements that
involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including possible adverse weather
conditions. Although the Company has made its best efforts to be accurate in
making these forward-looking statements it is possible that the assumptions made
by management may not materialize.
(a) 1997 versus 1996
Revenues from continuing operations increased by 7.9% to record levels of
$51,199,519 and resulted in operating profit increasing by 61.2% to $3,528,274
from 1996 levels of $2,188,471. The increase in operating profit was led by
record performance of the Company's Tank Division.
1997 revenues of the Tank division increased by 12.7% to $38,509,519 while
operating profits increased by 19.8% to $5,057,046 from $4,221,715 in 1996. Both
revenues and profits were at record levels. The increase in revenues was
comprised of a 13.3% increase in net sales and a reduction of 9.8% in interest
and financing income. The increase in net sales was the result of a 16.0%
increase in units shipped which was partially offset by a lower net average
selling price. Demand for the division's products and the division's geographic
sales area continued to increase and were responsible for the increase in net
sales. Selling and general administrative expenses decreased slightly by 1.6%.
The Chemical Group finished the year with a strong fourth quarter and while
sales for the year were down by 4.8% to $12,633,559 operating profits increased
by 13.3% to $764,904, the highest level during the past five years. 1997 was
also the third consecutive year the division has increased operating profit over
the prior year level. During 1997, the Group continued to concentrate on better
margin sales and cost controls to increase overall profitability. More selective
bidding and the loss of some very low margin sales resulted in sales in the
Contract Division decreasing by 4.3% and sales in CADCO, the material sales
division, decreasing by 6.5%. Gross profits in the Contract Division were down
slightly, by 1. 1% largely as a result of the reduction in sales, while gross
profits in the CADCO Division rebounded sharply by 36.8% and combined to
increase the Group's
9
11
gross profit by 4.3%. Selling and general administrative expenses decreased by
8.0% from 1996 levels largely as a result of decreases in the sales staff made
possible by the continuing trend toward bidding of work in the Contract
Division.
For the Company as a whole, net sales from continuing operations increased
by 8.1%, while cost of sales increased by the lesser rate of 6.9% resulting in
higher gross profits and margins. Selling expenses decreased by 7.0% while
general and administrative expenses increased by 4.9%. Interest expense
decreased sharply, by 44.4%, as the proceeds from the sale of discontinued
operations were used to significantly lower average borrowings during the year.
Interest and financing income decreased by 3.7% as the investment in tank
customer notes and leases continued to decrease. The effective income tax rate
increased from 40.0% in 1996 to 41.7% in 1997 largely as a result of increased
state and local taxes. The Company reported income from continuing operations of
$2,057,274, or $1.03 per share, in 1997 an increase of 56.6% over income from
continuing operations of $1,313,471, or $.66 per share, in 1996.
In March of 1997, the Company sold its Cory Orchard & Turf division
("Cory") and in November of 1997 sold certain assets of the Cal-Van Tools
division ("Cal-Van"). See Note 2 to the financial statements for a further
discussion of these transactions. Operating results through the dates of sale of
these divisions are classified as discontinued operations. After provision for
applicable income taxes, the Company reported a loss from operations of
discontinued operations of $310,863, or $.16 per share, compared to a loss of
$55,188, or $.03 per share, in 1996. The sale of Cory resulted in a net gain
after income taxes of $270,000 while the sale of Cal-Van resulted in a net loss
of approximately $876,000 after a tax credit of $610,000. After provision for
applicable income taxes, the Company reported a combined loss on disposal of the
divisions of $605,950, or $.30 per share. After applicable tax credits, the
total loss from discontinued operations for 1997 was $916,813 compared to a loss
of $55,188 in 1996.
The Company reported net income of $1,140,461 or $.57 per share in 1997
compared to net income of $1,258,283 or $.63 per share in 1996.
(b) 1996 versus 1995
Despite the fact that the Company's revenues for the first half were down
record sales in both the third and fourth quarters resulted in total revenues
decreasing only slightly, by 2.9%, from last year's record levels. 1996 Income
from Continuing Operations decreased by 4.2% to $1,313,471 or $.66 per share.
Revenues of the Tank Division, which accounted for 72.0% of the total
Company revenues, decreased by 1.2% from the prior year record level, while
operating profit increased by 1.2%. The decline in revenues was comprised of a
.9% decrease in net sales to $33,291,086 and a 13.3% decrease in interest and
financing income. Cost of sales decreased at the higher rate of 2.0% and
resulted in an increase of 7.1% in gross profit. Increases of 9.0% in selling
expense and 15.9% in general and administrative expenses combined to result in
operating profit increasing at the lesser rate of 1.2%.
Net sales of the Chemical Group decreased by 6.7%, while operating profit
increased by 17.4%. The decrease in sales was comprised of a 6.6% decrease in
sales of the Contract Division and a 7.1% decrease in sales of the material
sales division, CADCO. An emphasis on better margins and more selective bidding
caused sales to decrease somewhat, but was responsible for the increase in gross
and operating profits. The increase in the Group's operating profit was largely
the result of increased gross profits of 22.0% in the Contract Division, which
accounted for 80.2% of the Group's sales during the year. Selling and general
administrative increased by 3.3% over the prior year levels largely as a result
of a $19,700 increase in bad debt expense.
For the Company as a whole, net sales decreased by 2.6%, while cost of
sales decreased by 3.9% bettering margins and resulting in an increase in gross
profit of 7.9%. Selling expenses increased by 6.1% during the year. General and
administrative expenses increased by 11.8% largely as a result of increased bad
debt expenses. Interest and financing income decreased by 15.1% largely as a
result of reductions in the average balances of notes and leases receivable
outstanding during the year. Interest expense increased by 4.5% as average
borrowings to fund working capital needs increased over the prior year levels.
The effective income tax rate increased from 39.7% in 1995 to 40.0% in 1996.
Income from continuing operations decreased by 4.2% to $.66 per share from $.69
per share in 1995. Discontinued operations reported a loss of $55.188 or $.03
per share
10
12
compared to income of $103,256 or $.05 per share in 1995. For the year, net
income decreased by 14.7% to $1,258,283, or $.63 per share.
IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES ON SALES AND INCOME FROM OPERATIONS
The rate of inflation during recent years has not been such an important
consideration but the Company uses the following procedures to help monitor its
effects. First, selling prices of the Company's products are carefully and
constantly scrutinized so that selling prices reflect current costs. Price
increases can only be instituted, of course, to the extent that the Company's
prices remain competitive within the business segments in which the Company
operates. As a result, the Company constantly monitors alternative suppliers to
assure the lowest possible costs. The Chemical Group can reasonably account for
inflation in bidding on fixed price contracts because a majority of the
contracts are bid early in the year with completion dates during the current
year. Labor rates are generally established prior to the bid and these are
generally fixed for the duration of the contract. Materials necessary to perform
a contract can be price protected by purchasing under early order programs or by
purchasing sufficient quantities of the materials necessary to complete the
contract at the time it is awarded. This allows these costs to be considered at
the time a bid is prepared. The Company uses the LIFO method of accounting for
the cost of goods sold for the majority of its products. This charges current
costs to the results of operations for both financial reporting and income tax
purposes and during periods of inflation results in improved cash flow due to
lower income taxes paid by providing a closer matching of revenues and expenses.
Finally, increasing of productivity levels in all of the Company's operating
divisions has helped to lessen the effects of inflation in the past and will
continue to be part of the Company's objective for controlling the effects of
inflation in the future.
ENVIRONMENTAL
In 1995, the Company was named a potentially responsible party (PRP) for
site investigation and possible cleanup costs under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (Superfund) or similar
state laws with respect to a certain site. The Company has notified third party
insurers about this matter and management is exploring the availability of
coverage of claims which may arise. See Item 3 Legal Proceedings for additional
information. Because of the preliminary state of this matter and lack of
information, it is not possible to estimate the financial impact or range of
probable financial impact on the Company. While the ultimate outcome cannot now
be predicted, the Company believes, based upon the facts now known to it, that
costs arising out of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position, but could have a material impact on results of
operations or cash flows for a particular quarter or annual period.
IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
The Company has developed and initiated its plans to address the possible
exposures related to the impact of the Year 2000 on its software and computer
systems. Key financial information and operational systems have been assessed
and detailed plans have been implemented to address modifications required prior
to December 31, 1999. The Company expects these modifications will be completed
and tested by that time. The financial impact of making the required changes
will be comprised of internal costs, the costs required to upgrade and replace
systems and equipment in the normal course of business, and is not expected to
be material to the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations. The Company currently does not have any direct interface systems
with suppliers or customer. However, the Company, has initiated communications
with its significant suppliers or customers to ensure they have appropriate
plans to resolve Year 2000 issues where failure of their systems could adversely
affect the Company's results of operations.

CHEMI-TROL CHEMICAL CO.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CREDIT PRACTICES
Credit terms are granted and periodically revised based on general industry
practices and evaluations of the customers' credit reports, payment history and
financial condition. The Company retains a security interest in products sold on
the installment basis. Credit losses are provided for in the financial
statements and consistently have been within management's expectations.
INVENTORY VALUATION
Substantially all inventories are valued at the lower of cost, determined
by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, or market.
NOTES RECEIVABLE
Notes receivable are due in installments from customers for sales of liquid
propane gas tanks. The notes are issued for three or four year terms and bear
interest based on the prevailing interest rate. At December 31, 1997, the
carrying value of notes receivable approximates their fair value based on the
Company's current incremental lending rates.
LEASES
Leases of liquid propane gas tanks to customers for noncancellable terms of
five or ten years are recorded as sales at inception. The present value of the
minimum payments is included in net sales, and the cost of the tanks is charged
to cost of sales. Estimated residual values of the leased tanks are not
significant. The leases are financed through notes payable to banks with terms
similar to the leases. The obligations to the banks are included in long-term
debt. Interest income computed at the rates implicit in the leases is recognized
on the interest method.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues for product sales are recognized when goods are shipped to
customers in accordance with their purchase orders. Contracts within the
Chemical segment are typically completed by December 31 of each year. On an
interim basis, these contracts are accounted for based on percentage completion.
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets.
NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
In 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." The
standard replaces the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per
share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Amounts presented in all years
reflect the requirements of the new standard. Basic net income per common share
is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 2,004,930,
after giving retroactive effect to the 10% stock

its Cal-Van Tools Division to Eagle Tools, Inc. (Eagle), an affiliate of Horizon
Tool, Inc. Eagle purchased inventory, machinery, equipment, fixtures, dies and
the Cal-Van Tools name for a cash payment of $1.5 million and a note of
approximately $2.3 million. Chemi-Trol retained and is currently collecting
accounts receivable of approximately $4.8 million. Real estate with an
approximate cost of $1.7 million and a carrying value of approximately $900,000
was also retained by Chemi-Trol and is being leased to Eagle under a one-year
lease expiring November 1998. The sale resulted in a net loss of approximately

7. COMMON STOCK
In March 1995, the Company issued a 10% stock dividend. Income and cash
dividends per common share amounts for all years presented in the statements of
income and shareholders' equity have been adjusted to reflect the stock
dividend.
The Company has adopted a Shareholders' Rights Plan designed to ensure that
all of the Company's shareholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event
of any proposal to acquire control of the Company. Under the Rights Plan, each
right will entitle shareholders to buy one one-hundredth of a share of common
stock of the Company at an exercise price of $42.97 (as adjusted for the 10%
stock dividend issued in March 1995). The rights will be exercisable only if a
person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 20 percent or more of the
Company's common stock or announces a tender or exchange offer after which such
person or group would beneficially own 30 percent or more of the common stock
without the prior approval of the Company's Board of Directors, or if they
determine that any person is an "Adverse Person." Under certain circumstances,
the rights will become exercisable for common stock or other assets or
securities of the Company or common stock of the surviving corporation in a
merger involving the Company. In such event, the rights would entitle the
holders thereof to purchase such stock at 50% of the then-current market value
of the stock.
The Board of Directors of Chemi-Trol Chemical Co., except as otherwise
provided in the Rights Plan, will generally be able to redeem the rights at one
cent per right at any time during a 10-day period following any of the events
which result in the rights becoming exercisable. During this 10-day period, the
Board may also extend the time during which it may redeem the rights. The rights
are not exercisable until the expiration of the redemption period and will
expire upon the earlier to occur of May 27, 2003 or their redemption in
accordance with provisions of the plan.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE.
James R. LaBenne, Former General Manager at the Cal-Van Tools Division, was
delinquent in filing a Form 4 Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership, to
report the sale of 435 shares of stock in May of 1997, but timely filed Form 5
to rectify the delinquency. John P. Simcox inadvertently filed a 1997 Form 5
late to report the purchase of 50 shares of common stock in June of 1997. The
Company believes that all other Directors and Officers have timely filed all
reports required by Section 16(a) of the Act.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR KEY EMPLOYEES
In 1997, Chemi-Trol Chemical Co. (the "Company") adopted the Deferred
Compensation Plan for Key Employees (the "Plan"). Pursuant to the Plan, certain
key employees participating in the Plan (the "Participants") were granted vested
interests in life insurance policies the Company had previously purchased on
their lives. If a Participant terminates employment for any reason other than
death, the Participant is entitled to the cash value of the policy. If the
Participant dies while employed by the Company, the Participant is entitled to
one-half of the death benefit under the policy. The Company has entered into a
Trust Agreement pursuant to which the insurance policies have been contributed
to a grantor trust.
EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
In August 1996, the Company entered into agreements to employ Mr. Robert W.
Woolf as the President and Chief Operating officer, Mr. John P. Simcox as Vice
President and General Manager of the Tank Division, and Mr. Kevin D. Lauck, as
Secretary and Controller for terms of three years. The employment agreements
provide for annual base compensation equal to an amount which is not less than
the officers annual base compensation on the date of the agreement and for an
annual bonus which is not less than the greater of 15% annual base compensation
or the bonus paid in the preceding fiscal year. In addition the employment
agreements provide that during the term of the agreement and for one year
thereafter, the officers shall not compete with any business carried on by the
Company (provided that no change of control shall have occurred). The agreements
further provide that if the officer's employment is terminated following a
change of control, other than for cause, disability or retirement, the officer
shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of any salary or bonuses payable under the
agreement, an amount equal to three times the present value of his annual base
compensation and bonus plus the cash surrender value of all life insurance
maintained by the Company on the officer's life.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The Compensation Committee consists of Arthur F. Doust and Robert W. Woolf,
each of whom is an executive officer of the Company, and Robert H. Moyer and W.
Burton Lloyd, independent directors.
Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation
This report sets forth the compensation policies of the Compensation
Committee applicable to the Company's executive officers and the relationship of
corporate performance to executive compensation.
The Company's compensation package for its executive officers consists of
base salary, annual performance-based bonus and participation in the Company's
Profit Sharing Plan and the deferred compensation plan. These particular
elements are further explained herein.
Base salaries are determined primarily on the basis of salaries being paid
in the competitive marketplace, Company-wide performance and each executive
officer's responsibilities, individual performance, knowledge, ability, time in
position and prior experience. Salaries are adjusted annually as determined by
individual performance, the competitive marketplace, Company-wide performance
and changes in the cost of living, subject to minimum specified in employment
contracts with certain key employees of the Company. In general, base salaries
are set at levels believed by the Committee to be sufficient to attract and
retain qualified individuals when considered with the other components of the
Company's compensation structure.
Annual performance-based bonuses are determined at year end by the
Committee for each executive officer, with the amount for each depending upon
individual accomplishments and the overall performance of the Company, as
weighted and applied on an individual basis by the Compensation Committee.
Performance bonuses for executive officers have historically not exceeded
one-third of base compensation.
The Company's Profit Sharing Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code and is for the benefit of all employees who complete a
specified number of hours of service to the Company each Plan year and are
employees through year-end. The Board of Directors of the Company determines the
amount to be contributed from income to the Plan for each year based upon
Company performance, historical contribution levels and other factors deemed
appropriate by the Board. Company contributions to the Plan are allocated to the
accounts of eligible employees pro rata according to each employee's annual
compensation, without any variance of such formula for executive officers.
Retirement, disability or death benefits under the Plan commence on the earlier
of retirement, disability or death of an eligible employee, based upon the
employee's Plan account balance. Upon termination of employment for reasons
other than retirement, disability or death, rights of eligible employees depend
upon their number of years of service to the Company. All executive officers of
the Company are currently participating in the Profit Sharing Plan.
The foregoing report has been furnished by members of the compensation
committee of the Board of Directors.
