Note 4 – Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The total comprehensive income (loss) for the three-months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was ($218) and $260, respectively. Total comprehensive income (loss) differs from net income (loss) due to gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translation, which are reflected separately in the shareholders’ equity section of the balance sheet under the caption “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income.

Note 5 – Income From Investees and Subsequent Event

The Company owns a 45% interest in Carbontronics LLC and a 25% interest in Carbontronics Fuels LLC and Carbontronics II LLC. These interests were obtained as part of contracts to build four synthetic fuel production plants during 1998. The Company has no basis in these equity investments or requirement to provide future funding. Any income arising from these investments is dependent upon tax credits (adjusted for operating losses at the fuel plants) being generated as a result of synthetic fuel production, which will be recorded as received. The Company received no distributions in fiscal 2004, nor the quarter ended December 31, 2004, and did receive distributions of $13,428 and $1,526, during 2003 and 2002 respectively.

In 2003, the Company was notified by its investee General Partner that the income tax returns for its synthetic fuel producing partnership are being audited. As previously reported, the Limited Partners may declare a “Tax Event” and suspend further distributions indefinitely. The Company was informed that the Limited Partners have declared a “Tax Event” and therefore future distributions had ceased.

On January 5, 2005, the Company was informed that the IRS had concluded its examination of the investees with no material adverse findings. As a result, distributions suspended since August of 2003 resumed and on January 11, 2005, the Company received $24.1 million in cash distributions. These distributions are subject to state and Federal income taxes.

Future benefits from our synthetic fuel investments depend on whether the production from these plants will continue to qualify for tax credits under Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code; and the ability to economically produce and market the synthetic fuel produced by these plants; future IRS reviews, and as well the world price of crude oil. Any one of these eventualities may interrupt, reduce, or terminate further distributions.

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

Results of Operations

Net sales for the quarters ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $9.1 million and $11.9 million, respectively. Domestic sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 were $8.8 million reflecting a decrease of $2.8 million from year ago levels. Domestic sales were lower than the prior year’s quarter due to the timing of finalizing certain orders and delays in customers obtaining required permits. The Company’s revenues are concentrated in the asphalt-related business and subject to a seasonal slow-down during the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year. Foreign sales were unchanged from the prior year.

Gross margins as a percent of net sales decreased by 3.5% during the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from year ago levels due to lower sales volumes not fully absorbing overhead in the quarter.

Product engineering and development costs combined with selling and administrative expenses have decreased from year ago levels. Selling and administrative expense last year includes $270 of costs related to the tender offer withdrawn in December 2003.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 increased by $35, from the first quarter of fiscal 2004, reflecting an increase in interest rates and an increase in debt balance.

Income tax expense decreased by $.3 million from year ago levels, reflecting the decrease in pre-tax income.

The Company received no distributions in fiscal 2004, nor the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from its interest in Carbontronics LLC, Carbontronics Fuels LLC and Carbontronics II LLC. Distributions suspended since August 2003 resumed and on January 11, 2005, the Company received $24.1 million in cash distributions. Future distributions from these partnerships depend upon the production of these operations continuing to qualify for tax credits under Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code and the ability to economically produce and market synthetic fuel produced by the plants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On August 1, 2003, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement with PNC Bank, N.A. The Agreement established a three year revolving $20 million credit facility. The facility provides for advances based on accounts receivable, inventory and real estate. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had $6.0 million borrowed on the facility. The facility includes a $2 million limit on letters of credit. At December 31, 2004, the Company had $.3 million of letters of credit outstanding. The interest rate at December 31, 2004, is at prime less .25% (5.00%) and subject to change based upon the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The Company is required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.1:1. There are no required repayments as long as there are no defaults and there is adequate eligible collateral. Substantially all of Company’s assets are pledged as security under the Agreement.

Seasonality

The Company is concentrated in the asphalt-related business and is subject to a seasonal slow-down during the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year. Traditionally, the Company’s customers do not purchase new equipment for shipment during the summer and fall months to avoid disrupting their peak season for highway construction and repair work. This slow-down often results in lower reported sales and earnings and or losses during the first and fourth quarters of the Company’s fiscal year ended September 30.

Forward-Looking Information

This Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which represent the Company’s expectations and beliefs, including, but not limited to, statements concerning gross margins, sales of the Company’s products and future financing plans. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control. Actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors, including the financial condition of the Company’s customers, changes in the economic and competitive environments and demand for the Company’s products.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company operates manufacturing facilities and sales offices principally located in the United States and the United Kingdom. The Company is subject to business risks inherent in non-U.S. activities, including political and economic uncertainty, import and export limitations, and market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s principal currency exposure against the U.S. dollar is the British pound. Periodically, the Company has used derivative financial instruments consisting primarily of interest rate hedge agreements to manage exposures to interest rate changes. The Company’s objective in managing its exposure to changes in interest rates on its variable rate debt is to limit the impact of such changes on earnings and cash flow and to reduce its overall borrowing costs.

At December 31, 2004, the Company had $6.0 million of debt outstanding. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company’s borrowings will bear interest at variable rates based upon the prime rate. The Company performed a sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 1% adverse movement in the interest rates on the debt outstanding at the end of December 2004. Such a movement in interest rates would cause the Company to recognize additional quarterly interest expense of approximately $15 along with a corresponding decrease in cash flows.

The above sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk excludes accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities because of the short-term maturity of such instruments. The analysis does not consider the effect on other variables such as changes in sales volumes or management’s actions with respect to levels of capital expenditures, future acquisitions or planned divestitures, all of which could be significantly influenced by changes in interest rates and cause the results to differ significantly from those indicated by the sensitivity analysis.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s President and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days of the filing date of this quarterly report. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed is included in the reports that it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or, to the knowledge of the management of the Company, in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the evaluation date.
