Note A - Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Chart
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Chart" or the "Company") have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and

financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30,
1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Chart
Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997.

All share and per-share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the 3-for-2 stock
split effective June 30, 1998.

Note D - Revenue Recognition

The Company uses the percentage of completion method of accounting for
significant contracts. Otherwise, revenue is reconized when the products are
completed or shipped. 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.

Note E - Acquisitions

On March 27, 1998, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Chart
Marston Limited ("Chart Marston"), acquired the net assets of the industrial
heat exchanger division of IMI Marston Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of IMI
plc., for 21 million Pounds Sterling (approximately U.S. $34.6 million). The
Company borrowed 11 million Pounds Sterling (approximately U.S. $18.5 million)
to fund the acquisition.

On July 31, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Cryenco
for $20.8 million.

The pro forma unaudited results of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997, assuming consummation of both acquisitions as of
January 1, 1997 and only the Chart Marston acquisition as of January 1, 1998,
would not have been materially different than those reported. The pro forma
unaudited sales would have been $178,005 and $179,957 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Note F - Comprehensive Income

As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." Statement 130 establishes
new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components; however, the adoption of Statement 130 had no impact on the
Company's net income or shareholders' equity. Statement 130 requires foreign
currency translation adjustments to be included in other comprehensive income.

The Company did not incur any foreign currency translation adjustments prior to
its acquisition of Chart Marston on March 27, 1998. As a result, total
comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 was
$6,499 and $5,791, respectively. Total comprehensive income for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 was $21,713 and $14,973, respectively.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Order intake during the third quarter of 1998 slowed as a result of several
factors: the troubled Asian economies, continued softness in the industrial gas
market and delays in order releases in the hydrocarbon processing market. The
recent rise in the yen will have a positive material effect on the Company's
competitive position going forward. The Company continues to see and respond to
strong inquiry activity for hydrocarbon processing equipment and vacuum system
jobs, and is aggressively working to capitalize on these opportunities in order
to help offset the currently weak industrial gas market.

Sales for the third quarter of 1998 were $57.8 million versus $51.9 million for
the third quarter of 1997, an increase of $5.9 million, or 11.3 percent. The
addition of Chart Marston, acquired on March 27, 1998, contributed $8.9 million
in incremental sales to the third quarter of 1998. Third quarter sales to the
special products market decreased $1.9 million from the third quarter of 1997
primarily due to the LIGO project successfully winding down.

Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $171.0 million versus
$136.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of
$34.8 million, or 25.6 percent. Cryenco, acquired on July 31, 1997, and Chart
Marston contributed $32.0 million in incremental sales to the first nine months
of 1998.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 1998 was $19.7 million versus $16.7
million for the third quarter of 1997, an improvement of $3.1 million or 18.5
percent. Gross profit margin for the third quarter of 1998 was 34.1 percent
versus 32.1 percent for the third quarter of 1997. Gross profit performance
remained strong largely supported by good margins on the Company's hydrocarbon
processing equipment sales, which accounted for approximately 25 percent of
sales at a gross margin of nearly 48 percent.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 of $60.2 million, or
35.2 percent of sales, increased 42.3 percent from $42.3 million, or 31.1
percent of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The Company was
able to achieve its strong gross profit performance largely due to the support
of the hydrocarbon processing equipment market, which accounted for
approximately 27 percent of sales at a gross margin just over 45 percent.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense for the third quarter of 1998
increased to $9.2 million from $7.4 million for the third quarter of 1997. SG&A
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $25.8 million versus
$19.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in SG&A
expense was primarily due to the additions of Cryenco and Chart Marston. Some
implementation refinements in SG&A and gross margin reporting for Chart Marston
are still to be completed. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expense was 16.0
percent for the third quarter of 1998, up from 14.2 percent for the third
quarter of 1997.



                                       9
<PAGE>   10


Net interest expense for the third quarter of 1998 was $353,000 versus $358,000
for the third quarter of 1997. Net interest expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 increased to $746,000, from $376,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997. The increase in net interest expense for the nine
month period was due to borrowings related to the acquisition of Chart Marston.
At September 30, 1998, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $12.2 million
on its $45 million credit facility and was in compliance with all related
covenants.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported net income for the third
quarter of 1998 of $6.7 million, or $.28 per share, versus $5.8 million, or $.26
per share, for the third quarter of 1997. Net income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 was $21.9 million, or $.89 per share, versus $15.0 million,
or $.67 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operations during the third quarter of 1998 was $9.0 million
compared with $7.5 million for the third quarter of 1997. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, cash provided by operations was $21.5 million versus
$11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The Company's 1998
third-quarter and year to date cash flow reflects current earnings and
depreciation and amortization as working capital needs were relatively steady
and did not significantly impact cash flow.

Capital expenditures for the third quarter of 1998 were $765,000 compared with
$1.4 million for the corresponding quarter in 1997. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, capital expenditures were $4.1 million, versus $5.7 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

In November 1996, the Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase
2,250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. During the third quarter of
1998, the Company paid $4.1 million to acquire 483,700 shares of its Common
Stock, leaving approximately 700,000 shares able to be repurchased under this
program.

The Company expects sufficient cash flow from operations and available
borrowings to fund principal and interest payments, dividends and capital
expenditures.

BACKLOG

Chart's consolidated firm order backlog at September 30, 1998, was $107.3
million. The Company's ending backlog for the second quarter of 1998 and the
third quarter of 1997 was $134.8 million and $125.6 million, respectively.
Orders for the third quarter of 1998 totaled $30.4 million, compared with orders
of $47.8 million for the second quarter of 1998.

Industrial gas equipment backlog at September 30, 1998, was $55.6 million, down
from $70.2 million at June 30, 1998. Orders for the third quarter of 1998
totaled $18.6 million, compared with $26.2 million for the second quarter of
1998.

Hydrocarbon processing equipment backlog at September 30, 1998, was $42.1
million, down from $51.4 million at June 30, 1998. Orders for the third quarter
of 1998 were $5.3 million compared with $12.9 million for the second quarter of
1998. Although the Company experienced a decline in hydrocarbon processing
orders during the third quarter of 1998, this was due to delays in order
authorizations as opposed to project cancellations.

Special products backlog at September 30, 1998, totaled $9.6 million, down from
$13.2 million at June 30, 1998. The balance of the LIGO project, scheduled to be
completed in 1998, accounted for $1.9 million of the September 30, 1998 backlog.
Orders for the third quarter of 1998 were $6.5 million compared with $8.7
million for the second quarter of 1998.

YEAR 2000 PROBLEM

The Year 2000 Problem is the result of the inability of hardware, software and
control systems to properly recognize and process two-digit references to
specific years, beginning with the year 2000. The Year 2000 Problem could result
in system failures or miscalculations causing disruptions of the operations of
the Company, its suppliers and its customers.

In 1997, the Company completed a preliminary assessment of its exposure to the
Year 2000 Problem and determined that no critical software systems would be
impacted that could not be made compliant by January 1, 1999. In June 1998, the
Company initiated a formal assessment plan by identifying a lead person at each
of its locations to be responsible for ensuring that the location will be
compliant. The first phase of the formal assessment plan, which was completed in
the third quarter of 1998, included an inventory of all information technology
systems and control systems with embedded chip technology. Results of the
inventory indicated that all information technology systems are or should be
compliant by the year 2000, primarily because none of these systems involve
internally developed software and compliant versions are readily available. The
necessary modifications to ensure compliance relate primarily to purchased
software and some hardware replacement. The Company produces a limited number of
products utilizing control systems with embedded chip technology, and is
contacting the vendors who provide these embedded chips to determine compliance.
This project will be completed in the first quarter of 1999. The Company
believes that the third parties whose Year 2000 Problems pose the greatest risks
for the Company include its banks that maintain depository accounts, its payroll
processing company, its suppliers of the major materials used in production
processes, its utility providers and its providers of freight services. The
Company has communicated with these third parties to determine if they have an
effective plan in place to address the Year 2000 Problem, and have received
positive responses from the majority of these third parties. However, the
Company provides no assurance that these third parties will be year 2000
compliant or that their noncompliance will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company.

The Company currently estimates that it will spend less than $1 million to
ensure that its information technology systems are compliant, of which more than
half has been committed or spent through September 30, 1998. Accordingly, the 
Company expects cash flow from operations and available borrowings to be 
sufficient to fund these expenditures.

Based upon the results of year 2000 compliance efforts underway, the Company
believes that all critical information technology systems and control systems
with embedded chip technology will be compliant and will allow the Company to
continue to operate beyond the year 2000 without a material adverse effect on
its results of operations or financial position. However, unanticipated
problems which may be identified in the ongoing year 2000 preparation program
could result in an undetermined financial risk. Based upon the Company's
assessment of its year 2000 compliance and the indicated compliance of the third
parties it has contacted to date, the Company is developing contingency plans
as deemed necessary.
