MINE SAFETY APPLIANCES COMPANY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The sales growth is due to several factors. U.S. commercial safety equipment revenues are moderately up, led by increases in sales of self- contained breathing apparatus to fire services, of protective helmets to general safety markets and of exports. Sales of gas detection and monitoring instruments continue to increase, especially to the industrial cooling market. Rental revenues to the environmental services market also are higher. Shipments of gas masks to the U.S. military have declined somewhat, as expected. (However, the effect of this was more than offset by better production cost performance.) International sales are higher, assisted in part by changes in currency transla- tion rates. In local currency, the most notable sales increases have occurred in Brazil and Europe. The growth in net income has occurred in several areas. The profitability of U.S. operations has improved with higher sales and manufacturing levels com- bined with cost reductions from enhanced productivity and careful expense management. Earnings from European operations remain at relatively low levels, but are slowly improving with increased sales and lower costs. Profits from MSA's Brazil operation have improved substantially following governmental economic reforms implemented in July of 1994. Improvement in Latin American earnings accounts for a significant proportion of the corporate earnings growth. Consolidated earnings per share benefitted from higher net income and reduced shares outstanding as a result of a share repurchase program. A higher level of performance has been achieved so far in 1995. The company is going at a pace to reach our short term goals for this year, although our longer term objectives are still a good journey ahead. The company's profits in the first half of 1994 were relatively low, but were stronger in the second half of that year. While we are working for further performance improvements, it is not realistic to expect quarterly earnings percentage growth above last year's results to be as high for the remainder of this year. The higher effective tax rates for the quarter and the six months ended June 30,1994 were primarily the result of currency translation losses not deductible for tax purposes. Excluding the effects of currency translations, the comparative 1995 effective tax rate would be higher for both the quarter and the six-month period, due primarily to the impact of taxes being provided in 1995 by an international affiliate that previously was in a tax-loss- carryforward status. Comparative foreign currency exchange losses charged to income are as follows:

Currency exchange adjustments charged directly to the equity cumulative translation adjustments account are shown below. Significant second quarter 1995 gains relate to Germany and Japan; year to date translation gains relate also to Germany and Japan.

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 June 30, 1995 were 3.6 and 6.5%, respectively, as compared to 3.4 and 7.5% at December 31, 1994.
