NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1995
Note 1. Income Taxes
The income tax provision for the period is based on the effective tax rate
expected to be applicable for the full year. The difference between the
estimated effective tax rate of 39.5% and the Federal statutory rate of 35% is
primarily due to state and foreign income taxes.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information for commercial and industrial companies and 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 fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 1995. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1994.
Note 3. Stock Option Plan
The Company has a stock incentive plan which provides for the grant of
incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options and restricted share
awards. The aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock which may
be issued upon exercise of the stock options and pursuant to the restricted
share awards under the stock incentive plan is 600,000 shares. The option
price for each stock option which may be granted under the plan may not be less
than fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. In
December 1994, by action of the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board
of Directors, certain officers and other management personnel were granted
nonstatutory stock options to purchase a combined total of 377,500 shares of
the Company's Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $14.25 per share.
The options are exercisable in various share amounts based on the attainment
of certain market value levels of Class A Common Stock, but, in the absence of
such events, are exercisable in full during the period December 9, 1999 through
December 16, 1999. The options are not exercisable before June 9, 1995 and
expire December 9, 2004 if not exercised.
Note 4. Stock Split
Fiscal 1994 earnings and dividends per share and average share information have
been restated for the 15-for-1 common stock split which occurred in July 1994.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth certain income statement data of the Company
expressed as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated.
Six months ended Years ended

(1) Excludes the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles for
the adoptions of SFAS No. 106 and SFAS No. 109.
Sales for the six months ended March 31, 1995 were $82.2 million and were
$4.5 million, or 5.7%, higher than sales of $77.7 million for the first six
months of fiscal 1994. The increase for the first six months of fiscal 1995
reflected higher sales in all three of the Company's segments. The Marking
Products segment generated the largest sales increase, up 12.2% over the first
six months of fiscal 1994. The increase in this segment's sales is the result
of higher sales volume, principally in Europe and Australia. Bronze segment
sales for the first six months of fiscal 1995 were up 5.3% over the same period
of fiscal 1994 reflecting improvements in both selling price and unit volume.
Graphic Systems sales for the first six months of fiscal 1995 were up only
slightly over the first six months of fiscal 1994 as both sales volume and unit
prices were relatively consistent with the prior year. The Graphic Systems
sales volume also reflected a temporary decline in demand for printing plates
used in the corrugated packaging industry.
Gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 1995 was $37.3 million, or
45.4% of sales, compared to $34.8 million, or 44.7%, for the first six months
of fiscal 1994. The increase in gross profit of $2.5 million, or 7.2%, and the
increased percentage of gross profit to sales for the first six months of
fiscal 1995 were attributable principally to the higher sales levels of each
of the Company's segments and a reduction in certain employee benefit expenses
and other overhead costs for the period offset partially by increased prices
for certain raw materials.
Selling and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 1995
were $24.6 million, representing an increase of $2.3 million, or 10.2%, from
$22.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 1994. Selling and
administrative expenses increased in connection with higher sales for the
period and also reflected an increase in domestic advertising costs of the
Marking Products segment combined with higher selling expenses in Australia and
Operating profit for the six months ended March 31, 1995 was $12.7 million and
was $227,000, or 1.8%, higher than operating profit of $12.5 million for the
first six months of fiscal 1994. Increased sales and related gross profit in
the Bronze and Marking Products segments were the primary factors contributing
to the higher operating profit level offset partially by an increase in
consolidated selling and administrative expenses.
Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 1995 was approximately
$40,000, compared to $191,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1994. The
decrease in interest expense was principally a result of the repayment of all
amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement during fiscal 1994.
Other income and deductions (net) for the six months ended March 31, 1995
resulted in a $526,000 increase in income before income taxes compared a
$104,000 increase for the first six months of fiscal 1994. Other income and
deductions (net) for the first six months of fiscal 1995 primarily reflected
an increase in interest income as a result of a higher cash position during the
current period and an increase in interest rates.
The Company's effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 1995 was
39.5%, compared to 40.8% for the year ended September 30, 1994. The lower
effective tax rate for fiscal 1995 is primarily the result of a reduction in
the effect of foreign income taxes on the Company's consolidated tax position.
The difference between the Company's effective tax rate and the Federal
statutory rate of 35% is primarily the impact of state and foreign income
taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.6 million for the six months
ended March 31, 1995, compared to $7.5 million for the first six months of
fiscal 1994. Operating cash flow for the first six months of both fiscal 1995
and 1994 was primarily generated by the Company's net income of $8.0 million
and $7.3 million, respectively.
Cash used in investing activities approximated $1.6 million for the six months
ended March 31, 1995, representing an increase of $64,000 over the same period
a year ago. Capital expenditures for the six months ended March 31, 1995
amounted to $2.3 million, compared to capital expenditures of $2.0 million for
the same period in fiscal 1994. The increase is due primarily to an increase
in the capital budget for fiscal 1995 and the timing of capital spending
projects in comparison to the prior period. The capital budget of the Company
for fiscal 1995 is $12.0 million. Capital spending for property, plant and
equipment has averaged approximately $6.4 million for the last three fiscal
years. The Company expects to generate sufficient cash from operations to fund
all anticipated capital spending projects.
Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 1995 was
$1.3 million reflecting the payment of dividends ($.12 per share for the six
month period) and repayments under the Company's capital lease agreements.
Cash used in financing activities in the first six months of fiscal 1994 was
$9.5 million primarily consisting of repayments under the Company's Term Loan
Agreement and treasury stock redemptions under the Employees' Stock Purchase
Plan. Dividends for the first six months of fiscal 1994 were $.02 per share.
The Company currently has available lines of credit of approximately $11
million. There were no outstanding borrowings on any of the Company's lines
of credit at March 31, 1995. As of such date, the Company's outstanding
long-term debt, which consisted of capital lease obligations, was $961,000.
At March 31, 1995 and September 30, 1994 and 1993, the Company's current ratio
was 3.8, 2.9 and 3.0, respectively. The Company had cash and cash equivalents
at March 31, 1995 and September 30, 1994 of $28.9 million and $24.3 million,
respectively. Net working capital at March 31, 1995 was $49.0 million. The
Company believes that its current liquidity sources, combined with its
operating cash flow and additional borrowing capacity, are presently sufficient
to meet its capital needs (excluding acquisitions) for the next 12 months.
Stock Option Plan
The Company has a stock incentive plan which provides for the grant of
incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options and restricted share
awards. The aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock which may
be issued upon exercise of the stock options and pursuant to the restricted
share awards under the stock incentive plan is 600,000 shares. The option
price for each stock option which may be granted under the plan may not be less
than fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. In
December 1994, by action of the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board
of Directors, certain officers and other management personnel were granted
nonstatutory stock options to purchase a combined total of 377,500 shares of
the Company's Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $14.25 per share.
The options are exercisable in various share amounts based on the attainment
of certain market value levels of Class A Common Stock, but, in the absence of
such events, are exercisable in full during the period December 9, 1999 through
December 16, 1999. The options are not exercisable before June 9, 1995 and
expire December 9, 2004 if not exercised.
Other Matters
The Company recently announced the appointment of David M. Kelly as President
and Chief Operating Officer of Matthews International Corporation. Prior to
the appointment, this position had been vacant. Mr. Kelly joins Matthews
International Corporation following a 22-year career with Carrier Corporation
where he was most recently responsible for worldwide operations of its
