NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, the consolidated financial position of Farrel
Corporation ("Farrel" or "the Company") as of June 28, 1998, the consolidated
results of its operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 28,
1998 and June 29, 1997, and its consolidated cash flows for the six-month
periods ended June 28, 1998 and June 29, 1997. These results are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto,
included in the Company's Annual Report and Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997.

NOTE 3 - ASSET PURCHASE
On December 19, 1997, the Company acquired certain assets of the
Francis Shaw Rubber Machinery operations ("Shaw") from EIS Group PLC ("EIS") for
approximately $10.9 million. The Asset Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") provided
for a reduction in the purchase price to the extent that the value of the
closing date inventory was less than the contract amount. During June 1998, the
Company and EIS agreed to a revised inventory valuation as of December 19, 1997.
The inventory value, as per the Agreement, was reduced by approximately $2.7
million and a payment in that amount was received from EIS. Subsequent to
recording the inventory valuation in the preliminary purchase accounting an
additional inventory reduction of approximately $.9 million was recorded with a
corresponding increase in goodwill.
In addition, if the acquired assets do not generate at least (pound)1.0
million (approximately $1.67 million) of pre-tax profit, as defined, the
Agreement provides for a reduction in the purchase price. Included in total
assets, with a corresponding reduction in goodwill, is an amount due from the
seller calculated under the terms of the Agreement based upon the year to date
results.
The results of operations of Shaw are included in the consolidated
results of operations of the Company for the 1998 periods. The seller did not
maintain and the Company was not provided historical financial information for
the Shaw operations. Therefore, the proforma results for the six months ending
June 29, 1997 are not avaliable. Based on the limited information available, the
Company estimates that the pro forma revenues and net income for the six months
ended June 29, 1997, would not vary materially from the historical amounts
recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
NOTE 4 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". Standard No. 130 establishes
new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components; however, the adoption of the statement had no impact on the
Company's net income or stockholders equity.

PART I - ITEM 2 -
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION & RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENTS UNDER PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
Certain statements contained in the Company's public documents,
including in this report and in particular in this "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" may be forward
looking and may be subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Various
factors could cause actual results to differ materially from these statements.
These factors include, but are not limited to pricing pressures from competitors
and/or customers; continued economic and political uncertainty in certain of the
Company's markets; the Company's ability to maintain and increase gross margin
levels; the Company's ability to generate positive cash; changes in business
conditions, in general, and, in particular, in the businesses of the Company's
customers and competitors; and other factors which might be described from time
to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 28, 1998 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 29, 1997
Year to date net sales in 1998 and 1997 were $40.9 million and $42.3
million, respectively. The 1998 amount includes net sales of approximately $5.4
million by Farrel Shaw Limited ("Shaw") which was acquired on December 19, 1997.
Excluding Shaw sales, net sales would have declined $6.8 million during the six
months ended June 28, 1998 compared to June 29, 1997. This decrease is largely
due to the timing of when customer orders shipped in each period were received.
A substantial portion of the 1997 shipments reflect several individually large
orders received in 1996. Management believes the Company operates in markets
which are extremely competitive. Many of our customers and markets operate at
less than full capacity and certain markets, in particular, the Far East, remain
particularly competitive and difficult to penetrate.
The Company received $50.3 million in orders including approximately
$7.6 million from the newly acquired Shaw operations and several individually
large orders during the first six months of 1998 compared to $35.0 million
during the same period of 1997. In the case of major equipment orders, up to 12
months are required to complete the manufacturing process. Accordingly, revenues
reported in the statement of operations may represent orders received in the
current or previous fiscal quarters. In addition, the cyclical nature of
industry demand and, therefore, order intake, may affect the Company's quarterly
results of operations. The Company's ability to maintain and increase net sales
depends upon a strengthening and stability in the Company's traditional markets.
There can be no assurance that any such improvement will lead to increased
orders for the Company's products. Firm backlog at June 28, 1998 was $56.3
million, including $8.2 million at Shaw, compared to $46.5 million at December
31, 1997 and $42.9 million at the end of the second quarter of 1997. Backlog at
August 5, 1997 was $51.8 million.
Year to date gross margin in 1998 and 1997 was $10.3 million and $8.7
million, respectively. the margin percentage increased to 25.2% from 20.5%
largely due to the mix of products sold in the two periods. The 1998 shipments
include a higher relative proportion of spare parts, rebuild and repair sales
than in 1997 which generate higher margins than the new machine sales. In
addition, 1997 included several large new machine shipments with relatively
lower gross margins.
Year to date operating expenses increased $.4 million to $8.4 million
in 1998 compared to 1997. The 1998 amount includes selling expenses of $.3
million and general and administrative expenses of $.6 million at the newly
acquired Shaw operations. Excluding the impact of the Shaw operations, operating
expenses decreased by $.5 million to $7.5 million in the six month period ended
June 28, 1998. The decrease is largely attributed to reductions in marketing
programs, professional fees, insurance and continuing effects to steadily
control expenses. The Company intends to consolidate the operations of Shaw into
manufacturing and administrative facilities in Rochdale, England. The Company
expects the consolidation to be accomplished in the first half of 1999. The
Company has reduced headcount at Shaw to 110 at June 28, 1998 compared to 218 at
December 31, 1997. Research and development costs declined primarily as a result
of reduced headcount.
Page 8 of 13
<PAGE>
Year to date interest expense at June 28, 1998, was $.4 million, an
increase of $.3 million from 1997. The increase is due to borrowings associated
with the acquisition of the Shaw operations. Interest income was $.1 million for
the six month period ended June 28, 1998 and June 29, 1997.
Other income, net of other expense, includes approximately $.2 million
for the six month period ended June 28, 1998 from the disposal of machinery and
equipment the Company will no longer use and $.5 million for the same period in
1997. The impact of foreign currency on the consolidated results of operations
for 1998 compared to 1997 was not significant.
The effective income tax rate in 1998 and 1997 was 39.9% and 35.5%,
respectively. The Company provides for income taxes in the jurisdictions in
which it pays income taxes at the statutory rates in effect in each jurisdiction
adjusted for differences in providing for income taxes for financial reporting
and income tax purposes.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 28, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 29, 1997.
Net sales for the second quarter of 1998 were $24.9 million, compared
to the $26.2 million for the second quarter of 1997. Order intake in the second
quarter of 1998 was $20.1 million including approximately $1.6 million from the
Shaw operations, compared to $19.4 million in the second quarter of 1997. Sales,
orders and backlog levels varied when comparing the two quarters due to the same
reasons previously discussed.
Gross margin in the second quarter of the current year was $6.1 million
compared to $5.3 million in the second quarter of 1997 and the margin percentage
increased to 24.4% from 20.4%, respectively. These variations in margin dollars
and percentages are also attributed to the same reasons previously discussed.
Total operating expenses increased $.4 million from the second quarter
of 1997 to $4.6 million in the second quarter of 1998. The second quarter
includes selling expenses of $.2 million and administrative expenses of $.4
million at the newly acquired Shaw facilities. Excluding the impact of the Shaw
operations, operating expenses would have declined approximately $.2 million
during the second quarter of 1998. The changes in operating expenses are due to
the reasons previously discussed.
Interest expense, for the second quarter of 1998, was $.2 million an
increase of $.2 million from the second quarter of 1997. The increase is due to
borrowings associated with the acquisition of the Shaw operations.
Other income, net of other expense in the second quarter of 1998 and
1997 includes approximately $.2 million for the disposal of excess machinery and
equipment. The impact of foreign currency on the consolidated results of
operations for the second quarter of 1998 compared to 1997 was not significant.
The tax rate in the second quarter of 1998 and 1997 was 39.9% and
35.9%, respectively. The Company provides for income taxes in the jurisdictions
in which it pays for income taxes at the statutory rates in effect in each
jurisdiction adjusted for differences in providing for income taxes for
financial reporting and income tax purposes.
MATERIAL CONTINGENCIES
The Company and The Black & Decker Corporation entered into a
Settlement Agreement pursuant to which Black & Decker agreed to assume full
responsibility for the investigation and remediation of any pre-May, 1986
environmental contamination at the Company's Ansonia and Derby facilities as
required by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). A
preliminary environmental assessment of the Company's properties in Ansonia and
Derby, Connecticut has been conducted by Black & Decker. On the basis of the
preliminary data now available there is no reason to believe that any
remediation activities which might be required as a result of the findings of
the assessment will have a material effect upon the capital expenditures,
earnings or the competitive position of the Company. This forward looking
statement could, however, be influenced by the results of any further
investigation which the DEP might require, by DEP's conclusions and requirements
based upon its review of complete information when such is available,
unanticipated discoveries, the possibility that new or different environmental
laws might be adopted and the possibility that further regulatory review or
litigation might become necessary or appropriate.
Page 9 of 13
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES; CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Working capital and the working capital ratio at June 28, 1998 were
$14.7 million and 1.5 to 1, respectively, compared to $13.8 million and 1.6 to 1
at December 31, 1997, respectively. During the first six months of 1998, the
Company paid a dividend of $.04 per share. The Company has also declared a
dividend of $.04 per share to be paid in the third quarter of 1998. The
Company's ability to pay dividends in the future is generally limited under its
credit facility described below to the aggregate of (a) 25% of net income during
the most recently completed four fiscal quarters after deducting distributions
previously made and (b) purchases by the Company of its common stock during the
same period, without the consent of and/or waiver by the Company's bank. The
Company received a waiver from its bank with respect to dividends paid between
April 23, 1997 through June 30, 1998.
Due to the nature of the Company's business, many sales are of a large
dollar amount. Consequently, the timing of recording such sales may cause the
balances in accounts receivable and/or inventory to fluctuate dramatically
between quarters and may result in significant fluctuations in cash provided by
operations. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant problems
regarding the collection of accounts receivable. The Company has also generally
financed its operations with cash generated by operations, with progress
payments from customers and with borrowings under its bank credit facilities.
The Company made capital expenditures of $1.1 and $.3 million during the first
six months of 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The Company has a worldwide multi-currency credit facility with a major
U.S. bank in an amount of $25.0 million consisting of an $18.5 million revolving
credit facility for direct borrowings and letters of credit and up to (pound)3.0
million for foreign exchange contracts and a five year term loan. The facility
contains limitations on direct borrowings and letters of credit combined based
upon stipulated levels of accounts receivable, inventory and backlog. The
facility also contains covenants specifying minimum and maximum thresholds for
operating results and selected financial ratios. There were $6.5 million and
$7.1 million in direct borrowings under this facility at June 28, 1998, and
December 31, 1997, respectively. There were $ 5.3 million and $6.0 million of
letters of credit outstanding at June 28, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
respectively. The revolving credit facility expires on December 31, 1999, the
term note matures on December 31, 2002.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". Standard No. 130 establishes
new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components; however, the adoption of this Statement had no impact on the
Company's net income or stockholder's equity. Statement 130 requires the
Company's foreign currency translation and minimum pension liability which,
prior to adoption, were reported separately in stockholders' equity to be
included in other comprehensive income. Prior year financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the requirements of Standard No. 130.
For the six months ended June 28, 1998 and June 29, 1997, total
comprehensive income amounted to $.8 million and $.5 million, respectively.
