PENWEST, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
interim periods presented have been included. Operating results for the
three and nine month periods ended May 31, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
August 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in PENWEST's annual
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with
current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on
previously reported results of operations.
2. OTHER INCOME
During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company sold its remaining
Southern California air credits related to the operations of Great
Western Malting Co., a division of the Company sold in 1989. The sale
of the credits resulted in a pretax gain of $1.2 million, which is
included in other income for the nine months ended May 31, 1997.
3. INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the quarter ended May 31, 1997 was 34%. The
effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended May 31, 1997 was 33%
compared to the statutory rate of 34%. The effective rate over nine
months was lower than the statutory rate due to state tax refunds
received by the Company during the second quarter of fiscal 1997.
4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted
on February 28, 1998. At that time, the Company will be required to
change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to
restate all prior periods. Under the new requirements for calculating
primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will
be excluded. The impact is expected to result in no effect to primary
earnings per share for the fiscal quarter ending May 31, 1997 and a
$0.01 increase to primary earnings per share for the nine months ended
May 31, 1997. The impact of Statement 128 on the calculation of fully
diluted earnings per share is not expected to be material.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity
At May 31, 1997, PENWEST had working capital of $30.8 million, a $35.0 million
unsecured credit agreement under which there was $20.3 million outstanding, and
several uncommitted lines of credit aggregating $15.0 million with two banks
that may be used for overnight borrowings under which there was $7.7 million
outstanding. Cash flow from operations for the nine month period was $14.1
million compared to $12.0 million in the corresponding period a year ago. The
Company used operating cash flow and debt to finance capital expenditures and
operating activities during the nine months ended May 31, 1997.
The Company paid quarterly dividends of $0.05 per share on December 6, 1996,
March 7, 1997, and June 5, 1997.
Capital Resources
Third quarter and year-to-date additions to property, plant and equipment of
$4.5 million and $18.1 million, respectively, were primarily for projects
related to capacity expansion at Penwest Foods' facility in Richland, Washington
and various ongoing improvements at Penford Products' facility in Cedar Rapids,
Iowa.
Results of Operations
Net income was $1.8 million, or $0.26 per share, for the third quarter compared
to net income of $1.0 million, or $0.15 per share, for the corresponding period
a year ago. Net income for nine months of the fiscal year was $4.5 million, or
$0.64 per share, compared with $3.7 million, or $0.52 per share, in the prior
year period. The first quarter of fiscal year 1997 included other income of $1.2
million representing $800,000 after tax, or $0.11 per share, from the sale of
Southern California air credits related to the operations of Great Western
Malting Co., a division of the Company sold in 1989.
Sales increased in the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal year
1997 to $50.0 million and $147.6 million, respectively, representing increases
of 1.8% and 4.7%, respectively, from the corresponding periods a year ago. The
third quarter increase is primarily due to higher sales volumes of manufactured
products at Penford Products and Penwest Foods. Penford Products, accounting for
approximately 75% of all revenues, operated at near capacity levels. The volume
increases reflected in total sales were partially offset by lower corn costs, a
key component used in pricing the sales of Penford's paper chemical products.
The gross margin for the three month period ended May 31, 1997 was 28.1%
compared to 23.5% in the corresponding period a year ago and 25.2% and 24.7% for
the nine months ended May 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The improvement in
gross margin is due, in part, to a decline in corn prices compared to last year.
The effect of more volume moving through the Penford and Penwest Foods
manufacturing facilities and the increase in sales volume of Penford's starch
copolymer products also positively affected the gross margin percentage.
7
<PAGE> 8
Operating expenses in the third quarter rose $1.1 million, or 12.2%, compared to
the same period in the previous year. For the fiscal year, operating expenses
have increased $1.8 million, or 6.8%. These increases are primarily due to
increased investment in research and development at Penwest Pharmaceuticals as
well as higher selling and performance-based incentive expenses.
Net interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was $1.4 million
compared to $1.9 million for the corresponding period a year ago. For the year,
net interest expense was $4.0 million compared to $3.5 million a year ago mainly
reflecting lower amounts of capitalized interest.
Recent Development
On June 11, 1997, Penwest Pharmaceuticals and its licensee, Mylan Laboratories
Inc., announced that a Paragraph IV Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) had
been filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for controlled
release nifedipine tablets incorporating Penwest Pharmaceuticals' patented
TIMERx(R) controlled release delivery system. The filing was made by Mylan and
represents the first generic alternative to Procardia XL, a calcium channel
blocker for treating hypertension with a U.S. market of approximately $950
million in 1996.
Forward-looking Statements
The above discussion contains forward-looking statements. There are certain
important factors that could cause results to differ materially from those
anticipated by the statements made above. These factors include, but are not
limited to, the market price of corn and corn by-products, the economic
condition of the paper industry, competition, product development risks, patent
and intellectual property matters (including the possibility of patent
infringement litigation), dependence on collaborative partners, and regulatory
and manufacturing issues (including the difficulty of predicting FDA approvals).
Additional information on these and other factors which could affect the
Company's financial results is included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report to
Shareholders, its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, and its
Forms 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended November 30, 1996 and February 28,
1997, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

3. Agreement of the Banks and the Companies. The Banks and the Companies agree

(c) All representations and warranties contained herein are true and
correct as of the Effective Date.
6. Reservation of Rights. Each Company acknowledges and agrees that execution

7. Miscellaneous.
(a) Except as herein expressly amended, all terms, covenants and
provisions of the Credit Agreement are and shall remain in full force and effect
and all references therein to such Credit Agreement shall henceforth refer to

understands and agrees that this document (and any other document required
herein) may be delivered by any party thereto either in the form of an executed
original or an executed original sent by facsimile transmission to be followed
promptly by mailing of a hard copy original, and that receipt by the Agent of a
facsimile transmitted document purportedly bearing the signature of a Bank or a
Company shall bind such Bank or such Company, respectively, with the same force
and effect as the delivery of a hard copy original. Any failure by the Agent to
receive the hard copy executed original of such document shall not diminish the
binding effect of receipt of the facsimile transmitted executed original of such
document of the party whose hard copy page was not received by the Agent.

(e) This Amendment supersedes all prior drafts and communications with
respect thereto. This Amendment may not be amended except in accordance with the
provisions of Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.

prohibited by or invalid under any applicable law, such provision shall be
invalidated without affecting the remaining provisions of this Amendment or the
