Note C - Revenue Recognition

Chart Industries, Inc. ("Chart" or the "Company") uses the percentage of
completion method of accounting for significant contracts. In other cases,
revenue is recognized using the completed contract method. Management performs a
monthly assessment of major significant contracts to determine if contract costs
will exceed contract revenues. For those projects where the estimated costs
exceed estimated revenues, appropriate estimated losses are recorded. The
effects of any change orders are accounted for when agreed to by Chart's
customers.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales for the three-month period that ended June 30, 1996, were $30.6 million
versus $29.2 million for the comparable 1995 period, an increase of $1.4
million, or 4.7 percent. The growth in sales was primarily the result of the
continued strength of the large cryogenic tank business at PEI. Sales of brazed
aluminum heat exchangers also continued at a brisk pace in both the air
separation and hydrocarbon processing equipment markets.

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $65.3 million versus $54.7
million for the comparable 1995 period, an increase of $10.6 million or 19.3
percent. As in the quarterly analysis, the increase in sales comes mainly from
the cryogenic tank and brazed aluminum heat exchanger businesses.

Gross profit for the three-month period that ended June 30, 1996, was $9.8
million versus $7.9 million for the comparable period in 1995, an improvement of
$1.9 million, or 24.4 percent. For the first quarter of 1996, gross profit was
$10 million. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $19.8
million versus $14.5 million for the comparable 1995 period, an increase of $5.3
million. Strong market conditions, particularly in the air separation equipment
market, and increasingly in the hydrocarbon processing equipment market,
continued to support better pricing and higher throughput. A favorable sales mix
at PEI also contributed to the year-over-year improvement in profitability.
Gross profit margin for the three-month period that ended June 30, 1996,
improved to 32.0 percent from 26.9 percent for the 1995 second quarter and 28.8
percent for the 1996 first quarter. Products supporting this improved second
quarter margin performance were primarily cryogenic storage tanks, brazed
aluminum heat exchangers and cold box design and fabrication.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense for the three-month period
that ended June 30, 1996, was $4.4 million, approximately $400,000 lower than
the second quarter of 1995 and $500,000 lower than the first quarter of 1996.
The decrease in SG&A expense in the second quarter of 1996 compared with the
first quarter of 1996 was the result of the high level of first quarter expenses
as well as decreasing employee benefit costs and commissions. As a percentage of
sales, SG&A expense was 14.3 percent for the second quarter of 1996 versus 16.2
percent and 14.1 percent for the second quarter of 1995 and the first quarter of
1996, respectively.

Net interest expenses for the three-month period that ended June 30, 1996, was
$181,000 versus $462,000 and $237,000 for the second quarter of 1995 and first
quarter of 1996, respectively. Six month interest expense was $418,000 in 1996
verus $925,000 in 1995.

The company has significantly reduced its level of borrowings but expects
commitment fees and amortization of loan costs to generate $75,000 per quarter
of interest expense. Early in the third quarter of 1996, the company secured a
$5 million IRB to fund the expansion of ALTEC's brazed aluminum heat exchanger
facility in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

As a result of the foregoing, Chart reported record net income for the
three-month period that ended June 30, 1996, of $3.5 million, or $.35 per share,
versus $1.6 million, or $.16 per share, in the second quarter of 1995 and $3.2
million, or $.32 per share, for the first quarter of 1996. The improvement in
net income from the previous quarter represents the company's eighth consecutive
quarter of improved profitability. The six month 1996 net income was $6.8
million or $.67 per share, compared to $2.4 million or $.24 per share in 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operations during the three-month period that ended June 30,
1996, was $10.4 million compared with cash provided by operations of $1.9
million for 1995's second quarter and $9.4 million for 1996's first quarter. The
six month 1996 cash provided by operations is $19.8 million compared to $1.0
million in 1995. The company's 1996 cash flow represents current earnings in
addition to significant cash flow from customer advances and milestone billings
on many jobs in backlog, especially the LIGO project.

Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 1996 were $847,000, excluding the
PSI property purchase, compared with $592,000 for the same period in 1995. The
company completed the purchase of the PSI building and some adjoining land for
$3.6 million as fulfillment of an agreement made at the time of the original
acquisition of PSI in 1991. Increased capital expenditures in the next 12 months
are expected as the company begins expansion at the ALTEC facility. These
expenditures will be funded for the most part from the recent IRB.

The company anticipates sufficient cash flow from operations and available
borrowings to fund interest payments, dividends and capital expenditures. As of
June 30, 1996, the company's borrowings on its $25 million credit facility
totaled $2 million, a decrease of $2 million since March 31, 1996.

BACKLOG

Chart's consolidated firm order backlog at June 30, 1996 was $124.4 million
versus $112.9 million at March 31, 1996.

Air separation equipment bookings continued at strong levels, with orders
totaling $12.1 million for the 1996 second quarter. Backlog at June 30, 1996,
was $45.8 million after supporting strong quarterly sales of $13.1 million.

Hydrocarbon processing equipment backlog reached $33.8 million at June 30, 1996,
an increase of $14.6 million over March 31, 1996 levels. New orders during the
quarter totaled $20.7 million against sales of $6.1 million. The new orders
included a nitrogen rejection unit for AMOCO and numerous brazed aluminum heat
exchangers and Core-in-Kettle units. The company has experienced strong demand
for hydrocarbon processing equipment, including the innovative Core-in-Kettle
products from the growth of the ethylene market, especially overseas.

Cryogenic and high-vacuum equipment backlog was $42.2 million at the end of the
1996 second quarter, with the LIGO project reflecting $35.1 million of this
backlog. New orders totaled $2.7 million and reflect continued demand for
Chart's standard cryogenic products, including helium systems and large
cryopumps.

Specialty products backlog totaled $2.6 million at June 30, 1996, essentially
even with the first quarter of 1996.
