NOTE 4 — Income Statement Information

In fiscal 1999, due to the downturn in the Company’s Energy Systems business segment, the Company analyzed its capacity requirements for these products. As a result, on February 10, 1999, the Company recorded a charge of $4,200,000 for the closure and relocation of the Company’s Fairfield, California, manufacturing operations. As of August 31, 2000, all costs except for environmental costs related to the closure of the facility have been paid in full. Following is a progression of the environmental cost liability:

(In thousands)
Liability at August 31, 2000 $ 836
Cash payments made (51 )
Change in estimated liability (550 )

Liability at February 28, 2001 $ 235

Due to the Company’s remediation efforts to date and ongoing discussions with the California Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) the Company has reduced the estimated liability by $550,000 as of February 28, 2001. The timing of payments for the remaining liability for environmental costs is dependent on the final ruling by the California EPA. The Company estimates that the payment period will not exceed five years.

The Company incurred additional expenses relating to the Fairfield plant closure of $132,000 and $293,000 in the three and six month periods ended November 30, 1999 and February 29, 2000, respectively. These costs were for employee transfers, equipment relocation and training of new employees at the Texas facility.

In an unrelated transaction, during the quarter ending February 28, 2001 the Company paid $525,000 in settlement of its portion of environmental remediation costs at a facility formerly leased by the Company.

NOTE 9—Subsequent Event

On April 16, 2001, the Company announced that it will consolidate operations in England, Mexico, and Asia-Pacific in order to strengthen its market presence and achieve a more effective channel to market. In addition, the Company will discontinue selective product offerings in the Chemineer and Moyno businesses in order to improve long-term competitive positioning through a more cost-effective product focus. In the third quarter the Company will incur a one-time charge of $2,300,000 with approximately $1,200,000 related to severance and other costs associated with the regional consolidations, and the balance related to discontinuing product offerings. There will be additional costs in the second half of fiscal 2001 of approximately $400,000 that will be expensed as incurred primarily for equipment relocation, marketing and employee training.

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 were $104.2 million compared to $95.8 million, an increase of $8.4 million or 8.8% from the same period of the prior year. Year to date sales of $200.3 million increased $11.0 million or 5.8% from the same period of the prior year.

The Process Systems segment had sales of $75.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to $75.4 million in fiscal 2000. Year to date sales of $146.3 million decreased $4.9 million or 3.2% from the same period of the prior year. Volume levels were slightly higher than last year; however, the weakening of the euro and to a lesser extent the British pound sterling, against the U.S. dollar had a negative translation effect on sales of $2.5 million in the second quarter and $7.0 million year to date. Capital spending in the specialty chemical market remains low as operating rates and profitability levels have been low. Incoming orders in this segment were $159.0 million in the first half of fiscal 2001 compared to $166.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2000, and $153.6 million in the second half of fiscal 2000. The improved orders versus the second half of fiscal 2000 are attributed to continued strength in the semiconductor and electronics markets. Backlog in this segment increased to $85.9 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from $72.8 million at August 31, 2000.

The Energy Systems segment had sales of $28.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to $20.4 million in fiscal 2000, an increase of 39.7%. Year to date sales of $53.9 million increased $15.9 million or 41.8% from the same period of the prior year. These increases reflect the impact of higher crude oil and natural gas prices. This increase in prices has spurred an increase in exploration and production

activities. Incoming orders in this segment improved to $57.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2001, compared to $43.3 million in the first half of fiscal 2000, and $49.2 million in the second half of fiscal 2000. Backlog increased to $11.6 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from $7.6 million at August 31, 2000.

The gross margin percentage decreased from 35.3% to 33.5% for the quarter and from 34.5% to 34.0% year to date from the prior year periods. The decrease in gross margin is attributed to lower pricing in the Process Systems segment due to softening in end user markets. In addition, the Company’s U.K. businesses have had to lower prices in order to maintain market share against continental Europe competitors. Higher energy costs also had a negative impact on gross margin. Finally, the weakened European currencies against the dollar caused a negative translation effect of $.2 million in the second quarter and $.8 million year to date.

SG&A expenses increased by $.1 million and $.3 million for the quarter and year to date periods ending February 28, 2001, but decreased as a percentage of sales from 23.4% to 21.5% for the second quarter and 22.8% to 21.7% year to date. The percentage decrease is due to the savings from reduced employment levels and severance actions taken in the Process Systems segment in fiscal 1999 as well as cost savings from the Fairfield, CA, plant closure and administrative consolidation in the Energy Systems segment.

In fiscal 2001, other expense is the net of a $.525 million payment to settle the Company’s portion of environmental remediation costs at a facility formerly leased by the Company and the reversal of $.550 million of the Company’s liability for the Fairfield facility environmental costs. In fiscal 2000, other expense is from ongoing costs to close and transfer the operations of the Fairfield, CA, manufacturing plant.

Interest expense decreased by $.3 million in the second quarter and $.6 million for the year. This was due to lower average debt levels.

The effective tax rate is 34.0% in fiscal 2001 compared to 36.0% in fiscal 2000. The decrease results from increased benefit of the Foreign Sales Corporation tax incentive driven by increased Energy Systems’ exports.

The increase in net income and diluted net income per share can be attributed to the recovery in the Energy Systems business. However, the translation effect of the European currencies into the dollar reduced diluted net income per share for the quarter by $0.01 and $0.04 for the year compared to fiscal 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash uses in the first six months of fiscal 2001 were $7.6 million for capital expenditures, and $2.8 million to purchase certain assets of Rodec. Cash generated from operations of $7.2 million and borrowings from the Company’s Bank Credit Agreement funded these cash uses.

Cash uses in the first six months of fiscal 2000 were $9.1 million for capital expenditures and , $3.2 million to purchase Company stock and Convertible Subordinated Notes under the fiscal 1999 share buyback program. Cash generated from operations of $13.6 million funded these cash uses and also was used to reduce debt by $.3 million.

The Company expects operating cash flow to be adequate for the remainder of fiscal year 2001 operating needs, capital expenditures, scheduled debt service and shareholder dividends. The major cash requirement for the remainder of fiscal 2001 is planned capital expenditures of approximately $10 million. Capital expenditures are related to additional production capacity, cost reductions and replacement items.
