MINE SAFETY APPLIANCES COMPANY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Third quarter sales compare favorably to the same period of 1993 which were low due to adverse economic conditions. The main factor in the nine months sales growth is the inclusion of HAZCO Services, Inc., which was acquired in the last half of 1993. Equipment rentals to the hazardous materials/environmental market by HAZCO have grown significantly since the acquisition. The U.S. market for safety products is generally flat. Shipments to the U.S. military are essentially even with the prior year. Sales of instruments and specialty chemicals have continued to grow. Economic conditions have stabilized in Europe, and sales have recovered somewhat in Germany, Sweden and Spain. Other international markets are generally firm, with notable growth occurring in Australia, Canada, Brazil, Chile and Japan. The decrease in the third quarter 1994 other income as compared to the third quarter of 1993 is primarily the result of fixed asset losses and decreased research subsidies. Net income in 1994 reflects higher sales in the areas previously described and cost reductions in our major operations achieved through restructuring. These results compare favorably to 1993 which was depressed by adverse economic conditions and the timing impact of inventory adjustments. Ongoing process reengineering has resulted in significant reductions in U.S. manufacturing inventories. Some of these reductions resulted in a liquidation of LIFO values calculated at lower costs incurred prior to 1994. The approximate effect of this liquidation in 1994 has been to reduce cost of sales by $2,000,000 and to increase net income by $1,200,000, or 20 cents per share. Earnings per share have benefitted from higher net income and reduced shares outstanding as a result of the share repurchase program. These results show further improvement towards higher levels of performance. The company maintains its strategy of particularly emphasizing innovation in products, services and business processes with the goals of improved customer response and lower cost. This will enhance growth in expanding markets and improve profitability in weak markets. The company will also continue selective geographic extension of its activities. The lower third quarter 1993 effective tax rate is due primarily to the more proportionate impact of the tax benefit of foreign subsidiaries losses which have higher effective tax rates. Comparative foreign currency exchange losses charged to income are as follows:

Available credit facilities along with internal cash resources are adequate to provide for ensuing capital requirements. The company's financial position and liquidity continue to be adequate. The current ratio and term debt in relation to capital as of September 30, 1994 were 3.6 and 7.6%, respectively, as compared to 3.7 and 11.0% at December 31, 1993.
