MINE SAFETY APPLIANCES COMPANY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The sales increase was mainly due to the inclusion of HAZCO Services, Inc., Dayton, Ohio, which was acquired in the last half of 1993. This acquisition added equipment rental services to the hazardous materials/environmental market. Commercial safety equipment sales in the U.S. were hampered by the adverse effects of severe weather and earthquakes on customers early in the year (which also affected MSA's operations). Such sales strengthened considerably by the end of the quarter. Sales of gas detection and monitoring instruments and specialty chemicals continued robust growth. Shipments of gas masks to the U.S. military were below prior years but are expected to increase as the year continues. International sales declined somewhat, mainly due to continued economic weakness in Germany. The increase in net income was due to higher U.S. sales and continued cost control. European operations, especially Germany, remain depressed by economic conditions, although improvement is expected as the year goes on as a result of restructuring. Earnings in Brazil were hurt by currency exchange effects from the latest bout of political and economic instability. Earnings per share benefitted from higher net income and reduced shares outstanding as a result of the share repurchase program. Comparative foreign currency exchange losses charged to income are as follows:

At their meeting on April 27, 1994, the Board of Directors renewed an authorization for the company to repurchase up to 300,000 shares of its common stock from time to time in private transactions and on the over-the-counter market. The shares repurchased will be used for employee stock options and awards and other general business purposes. The timing and amount of the company's purchases will depend upon price and availability of shares. 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 March 31, 1994 were 3.8 and 11.0%, respectively, as compared to 3.7 and 11.0% at December 31, 1993.
