PART 1. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The registrant's financial position at January 31, 1994
reflected a strong current ratio of 1.9:1, a low debt to equity
ratio of .3:1, and cash and securities of $6.3 million.
Capital expenditures in fiscal 1994 are projected to be
approximately $23 million which is greater than fiscal 1993 capital
expenditures of almost $20 million. Larger projects for fiscal 1994
include a new semi-bulk distribution facility at the Bayport
chemical manufacturing plant, replacement of the existing aircraft,
and new laboratory and manufacturing office facilities for Eurochem
operations in Kirkby, England. Capital expenditures during the
first quarter were $3.5 million.
First quarter revenues totaled $93.6 million, compared with
$80.2 million the year before. Revenues for the Industrial,
International and Tretolite divisions of the Chemicals Group showed
strong improvement resulting in a double digit increase over the
prior period. This increase was due in part to the prior year
Welchem acquisition, a strong demand for cold flow improvers due to
colder temperatures, and an increase in hydrogen sulfide abatement
programs in both domestic and international markets. The Eurochem
division increased its sales due primarily to higher demand for oil
treatment programs in the Middle East while the Polymers division
revenues decreased modestly. Petreco Division revenues were up
sharply as equipment shipments increased.
Net earnings in the first quarter, before adoption of
accounting changes in both the current and prior periods, increased
12% to $5.4 million or $.48 per share, from $4.8 million, or $.43
per share. The aforementioned accounting changes consisted of a
one-time, non-cash tax credit of $2.0 million, or $.48 per share
taken this quarter applicable to the adoption of FAS 109 and a non-
recurring charge of $6.5 million, or $.58 per share, taken a year
ago to cover medical and
-5-
<PAGE> 6
other post-retirement benefits associated with the adoption of FAS 106. Net
earnings inclusive of the above accounting changes were $7.5 million, or $.66
per share this year as compared to a net loss of $1.7 million or $.15 per share
last year.
For the Chemicals Group, the improvement in earnings was
reflective of the improvement in revenues for the Industrial and
International divisions. Margins in the Tretolite division,
however, continued to be squeezed in the highly competitive domestic
oilfield market, and the division posted a decline in earnings. The
Polymers division posted improved earnings due to a more favorable
product mix while both the Eurochem and Petreco divisions improved
earnings were due to increased revenues.
