Note D - Revenue Recognition

The Company uses the percentage of completion method of accounting for
significant contracts. Otherwise, revenue is recognized 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. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price
included in the June 30, 1998 condensed consolidated balance sheet is based upon
management's best estimates and may be subject to further revisions.

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 six months ended June 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 $120,182 and $113,932 for the six months ended June 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 June 30, 1998 and 1997 was
$7,198 and $4,701, respectively. Total comprehensive income for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $15,214 and $9,182, respectively.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's sales and profit growth for the second quarter and first half of
1998 were very strong and in line with Chart's expectations. The Company
continued to achieve good throughput and excellent project performance, and
coupled with a favorable mix of hydrocarbon processing equipment, again earned
high gross profit margins. The additions of Cryenco and Chart Marston
contributed to the substantial sales growth over the same periods of last year.

The Asian economic situation, continued softness in the industrial gas market,
and a strong dollar, particularly against the Japanese Yen, have adversely
affected the Company's order intake of baseload equipment (particularly brazed
aluminum heat exchangers) in both volume and gross margin. Some impact will be
reflected in late 1998, however, sustained conditions would affect the Company's
1999 outlook in this product area.

Mitigating the above are favorable trends in other businesses. The hydrocarbon
baseload business continues strong with many projects in quotation. The
distribution and storage equipment business and vacuum business are growing and
active in bidding. The Company's strategic growth plans continue to position
Chart for global growth through internal and acquisition routes.

Sales for the second quarter of 1998 were $57.0 million versus $41.8 million for
the second quarter of 1997, an increase of $15.3 million, or 36.6 percent. The
additions of Cryenco, acquired on July 31, 1997, and Chart Marston, acquired on
March 27, 1998, contributed $14.8 million in incremental sales to the second
quarter of 1998. Sales in Chart's core markets grew $18.2 million and offset a
$2.9 million decrease in sales to the special products market largely related to
the LIGO project successfully winding down.

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $113.1 million versus $84.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $28.9 million, or
34.4 percent. Cryenco and Chart Marston contributed $21.8 million in incremental
sales to the first half of 1998. Sales in Chart's core markets grew $34.6
million, offsetting the $5.6 million decrease in sales to the special products
market related to the LIGO project successfully winding down.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 1998 was $20.1 million versus $13.5
million for the second quarter of 1997, an improvement of $6.6 million, or 49.1
percent. Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 1998 was 35.2 percent
versus 32.3 percent for the second quarter of 1997. Strong gross profit
performance continued in the second quarter of 1998, supported by hydrocarbon
processing equipment, which accounted for 25 percent of sales at a gross margin
of 45 percent. An additional gross margin contribution resulted from increased
profit recognition on LIGO as the project continues to successfully near
completion this year.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1998 of $40.5 million, or 35.8
percent of sales, increased $14.8 million from $25.6 million, or 30.5 percent of
sales, for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The shift in the sales mix to the
higher margin hydrocarbon processing equipment, combined with better
productivity and contributions from the LIGO project, led to the increase in
gross profit.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense for the second quarter of
1998 increased to $8.4 million from $6.3 million for the second quarter of 1997.
SG&A expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $16.6 million versus
$11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in SG&A
expense was primarily due to the additions of Cryenco and Chart Marston and the
increased commission and incentive related expenses. As a percentage of sales,
SG&A expense was 14.8 percent for the second quarter of 1998, down from 15.1
percent for the second quarter of 1997.

Net interest expense for the second quarter of 1998 was $583,000 versus $26,000
for the second quarter of 1997. The Company's outstanding borrowings were $16.7
million at June 30, 1998 on its $45 million credit facility. Borrowings were
used to finance the Chart Marston acquisition. The Company was in compliance
with all covenants related to this facility at June 30, 1998.

                                       9
<PAGE>   10


As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported net income for the second
quarter of 1998 of $7.2 million, or $.29 per share, versus $4.7 million, or $.21
per share, for the second quarter of 1997. Net income for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 was $15.2 million, or $.62 per share, versus, $9.2 million, or
$.41 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 1997.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operations during the second quarter of 1998 was $4.9 million
compared with $600,000 for the second quarter of 1997. For the six months ended
June 30, 1998, cash provided by operations was $12.5 million compared with $4.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The significant increase in
operating cash flow was due to the rise in net income and increased depreciation
and amortization resulting from recent acquisitions.

Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 1998 were $2.0 million compared
with $2.1 million for the corresponding quarter in 1997.

The Company forecasts 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 June 30, 1998 was $134.8 million. The
Company's ending backlog for the first quarter of 1998 and the second quarter of
1997 was $144.0 million and $126.6 million, respectively. Orders for the second
and first quarters of 1998 totaled $47.8 million and $46.7 million, 
respectively.

Industrial gas equipment backlog at June 30, 1998 was $70.1 million, down from
$75.9 million at March 31, 1998. Orders for the second quarter of 1998 totaled
$26.0 million, compared with $27.0 million for the first quarter of 1998.

Hydrocarbon processing equipment backlog at June 30, 1998 was $51.4 million
versus $53.2 million at March 31, 1998. Orders for the second quarter of 1998
were $12.9 million compared with $11.5 million for the first quarter of 1998.
The Company won a major multi-million dollar, baseload equipment hydrocarbon job
late in the second quarter of 1998. This dehydrogenation plant is for a
Malaysian project and includes brazed aluminum heat exchangers and significant
cold box engineering and manufacturing work for the Company.

Special products backlog at June 30, 1998 totaled $13.3 million, down from $15.2
million at March 31, 1998. The balance of the LIGO project, scheduled to be
completed in 1998, accounts for $3.8 million of the June 30, 1998 backlog. Chart
has won a major contract from Bharat Heavy Plate And Vessels of Visakhapatnam,
India for thermal vacuum equipment for a satellite testing chamber. This is the
second order of this type received by the Company within the last six months
from Asia. The value of these two contracts is in excess of $7.5 million.

Item 4.     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

            The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company was held on
            April 30, 1998. The following matter was voted on at the
            meeting:

            1.  Election of Don A. Baines as a Director of the Company for
                a term of three years. The nominee was elected as a
                Director with the following votes:

                Don A. Baines

                For                   14,950,454
                Against                      -0-
                Abstain                   10,065

                For a description of the bases used in tabulating the
                above-referenced votes, see the Company's definitive Proxy
                Statement used in connection with the Annual Meeting of
                Stockholders on April 30, 1998.

                The Company entered into a Rights Agreement, dated as of
                May 1, 1998, between the Company and National City Bank as
                Rights Agent (the "Rights Agreement"). Under the terms of
                the Rights Agreement, one junior participating preferred
                stock purchase right was issued as a dividend on each
                outstanding share of the Company's Common Stock on June
                15, 1998, to shareholders of record on June 1, 1998. The
                rights are represented by and trade with the Common Stock,
                and there is no separate certificate for the Rights.
                Details of the plan were distributed in a mailing to
                shareholders on June 15, 1998. The Rights are redeemable
                by the Company's Board of Directors at a price of $.01 per
                right at any time prior to the acquisition by a person or
                group of beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the shares
                of the Company's Common Stock.
