Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
include all adjustments,consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, which
are, in the opinion of management of the registrant, necessary for a fair
statement of the operating results for the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996. These financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all
information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations, and changes in cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Note 2 - Earnings per Share
Earnings per common share is computed after dividends paid on preferred
stock. Common shares reserved for outstanding options under the stock option
and incentive plans would have a negligible dilutive effect on earnings per
common share. The shares held by the Stock Compensation Trust are not included
for earnings per share calculations.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS 128,
Earnings per Share. The company will adopt this statement for its December 31,
1997 financial statements and will restate prior period earnings per share
amounts, if necessary. Presentation of both "basic" and "dilutive" earnings per
share is required. The company does not expect any material impact on earnings
per common share.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Consolidated sales for the second quarter of 1997 were $129,245,000
compared with $123,879,000 for the second quarter of 1996. Sales for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 were $242,718,000 compared with $239,250,000 for
1996.
Net income for the 1997 second quarter was $5,055,000, or $1.l0 per share,
compared with 1996 second quarter income of $3,756,000, or 76 cents per share.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $8,659,000, or $1.88 per
share, compared with $6,895,000, or $1.37 per share in 1996.
Sales improvements in the second quarter are largely attributable to the
acquisition in April 1997 of the majority interest in a South African
affiliate, MSA Africa (Pty.) Ltd., which is now wholly owned. The company
previously held a minority position in the ownership and management control of
this affiliate.
Generally flat sales for the six months reflect the continued absence of
U.S. military gas mask business, offset by improvements in U.S. commercial
safety equipment sales, particularly in the company's new fall protection
equipment product line (acquired in the second half of 1996), and also by
continued growth in specialty chemicals.
Modest local currency sales growth in the European operations has been more
than offset by adverse exchange rate movements related to the strong U.S.
dollar. Sales in other international markets, excluding MSA Africa, were flat
in the second quarter.
Despite generally modest sales growth, net income has improved,
particularly in U.S. operations, due to higher gross margins on a more
favorable product mix and improved manufacturing cost control.
Profits from international operations have improved marginally, with flat
income in Europe being slightly offset by modest improvement in other
international operations.
The improved financial results during the first half of 1997 compared to
1996 are the positive outcome of ongoing cost control initiatives and the
ability to improve gross margins by replacing lower margin U.S. military sales
with commercial safety product sales.
The second half of 1996 produced significantly higher profits than the
first half. Matching this performance in the second half of 1997 will be
challenging, especially in view of the anticipated moving and learning curve
costs related to the consolidation (announced at the end of last year) of U.S.
safety manufacturing facilities. The movements in some manufacturing
processes require temporary holdings of inventory to assure a high level of
customer service during the transition, which will affect ongoing performance
in inventory reduction throughout the balance of the year. However, there are
some related offsets to the factory consolidation costs, and earnings per share
for 1997 are expected to remain above the prior year. Earnings per share
continue to benefit from a reduction in shares outstanding due to the purchase
of shares by the company.
Cash outlays related to the planned U.S. restructuring efforts referred
to previously were modest in the first half; however, more significant outlays
are expected later in 1997.
Currency exchange adjustments charged directly to the equity cumulative
translation adjustments account are shown below. Significant 1997 year-to-
date losses relate primarily to Germany and Italy. Significant year-to-date
1996 losses related primarily to Germany.

Available credit facilities along with internal cash resources are
adequate to provide for ensuing capital requirements. The company's financial
position and liquidity continue to be adequate. The current ratio and term
debt in relation to capital as of June 30, 1997 were 2.5 and 6.1%, respectively,
as compared to 2.5 and 6.2% at December 31, 1996.
