ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Consolidated net sales of $9.9 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995 represents a decline of $1.1 or 10.2
percent as compared to the corresponding prior year period.
The decrease in consolidated net sales mainly reflects lower
volume related to a general global slowdown; however, the
outlook for sales remains positive. The fluctuation in
foreign currency exchange rates resulted in a $700,000
translation increase in net sales.
The $191,000 or $.12 per share consolidated net loss for the
quarter ended September 30, 1995 represents an improvement of
$61,000 or $.04 per share over the same period in 1994, and is
primarily due to realized foreign exchange gains of
approximately $635,000. These exchange gains represent a
recovery of a large portion of the foreign currency exchange
losses which had been previously accrued during the prior
year.
Gross margins declined from 22.2 percent during the first
quarter of 1995 to 17.5 percent during the first quarter of
1996. This decrease is primarily due to the continued impact
of higher raw material costs. The cost of pulp and latex, two
primary raw materials for the Company's products, increased 85
percent and 38 percent, respectively, over the past eighteen
months. However, during the month of September, consolidated
gross margins showed improvement as compared to the same
period last year. Gross operating margins are projected to
continue to improve because of higher volumes, increased
selling prices, lower raw material costs, and the impact of
various cost control measures.
Seasonality exists in that the first half of each fiscal year is
typically lower in volume than the second half, which is
largely due to customers' scheduled vacations, shutdowns, and
holidays. Consequently, the results of operations during the
first quarter of each fiscal year historically have been
losses. Additionally, the first half of each fiscal year has
been traditionally at break-even. Excluding the effects of
non-recurring and non-operating type items (i.e., adoption of
FAS 109), over the past five years, the Company has not been
profitable during the first quarter, except one year.
Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percent
of net sales increased 2.5 percent to 24.6 percent during the
first quarter of fiscal 1996, as compared to the corresponding
prior year period. The increase in SG&A percentage is mainly
due to the decrease in sales. Overall, SG&A costs remained
stable, as compared to the same period last year. SG&A costs
are expected to decline throughout the year reflecting the
impact of various cost control measures.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The consolidated financial condition of the Company remains
positive. Consolidated equity for the Company totaled $10.9
million at the end of September 1995. Financial ratios at
September 30, 1995 declined from a year ago because of
operating losses. Working capital decreased by almost $3.6
million to $869,000, because of cash requirements for
operations, reclassification of certain long-term debt and the
various planned plant and equipment additions. Excluding the
effects of the long-term debt reclassification, working
capital declined $2.1 million to $2.3 million. The
fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates resulted in a
translation increase of $1.3 million in consolidated total
assets.
The decrease in cash balances is mainly due to funding of
operations and planned capital additions, as well as the
exchange of US dollar deposits at favorable exchange rates.
Trade accounts receivables decreased by $423,000 to $11.8
million, and is primarily because of reduced sales.
The $1.9 million increase in inventories to $7.7 million
mainly corresponds to higher raw material costs and the
procurement of certain inventories at favorable prices, prior
to the consumption of existing higher cost inventories.
The $1.6 million increase in Property, Plant and Equipment
(PP&E) is largely due to the capital additions relating to the
wastewater treatment projects at the Company's manufacturing
facilities.
Accounts payable and short-term borrowings increased $2.5
million, which primarily correlates to the higher inventory
balances, as well as foreign currency translation adjustments.
As a result of the decrease in various financial ratios
relating to certain long-term debt, the Company obtained a
waiver from such requirements at June 30, 1995. The Company
has not received a waiver for the period September 30, 1995,
but management expects to receive additional waivers from such
requirements. Since there is no assurance the Company will
obtain future waivers, the long-term debt has been classified
as current. Management believes that existing credit
facilities will be sufficient to meet future operating and
capital requirements.
