Net Income $ 4,564,299 $ 5,157,922
Net income per share (based on the average number of shares
outstanding during the period):
Based on the assumption that earnings were allocated to
Class A and Class B Common Stock to the extent that
dividends were actually paid for the year and the re-
mainder were allocated as they would be received by
shareholders in the event of liquidation, that is, equally
to Class A and Class B shares, share and share alike:
Class A $ .29 $ .34
Class B $ .45 $ .50
Due to the special characteristics of the Company`s two classes
of stock (see Note 1), earnings per share can be calculated upon the basis of
varying assumptions, none of which, in the opinion of management, would be
free from the claim that it fails fully and accurately to represent the true
interest of the shareholders of each class of stock and in the earnings
retained for use in the business.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 1994
NOTE 1 - CAPITAL STOCK AND RETAINED EARNINGS
Class A Common Stock is entitled to cumulative dividends of 2 cents a
share per year after which Class B Common Stock is entitled to non-cumulative
dividends up to 1 cent a share per year. Further distribution in any year
must be made in proportion of 1 cent a share for Class A Common Stock to 1-1/2
cents a share for Class B Common Stock. The Class A Common Stock shall have
no voting power nor shall it be entitled to notice of meetings of the
stockholders, all rights to vote and all voting power being vested exclusively
in the Class B Common Stock unless four quarterly cumulative dividends upon
the Class A Common stock are in default. There is no cumulative voting. The
Company has acquired 7,087,463 Class A and Class B Common Stock for
treasury at a cost of $36,855,742 which was appropriately charged against
earnings retained for use in the business. Included in the above are 13,302
shares of Class B Common Stock acquired in 1994 for $515,455.
NOTE 2 - DIVIDENDS PER SHARE
The following dividends per share were paid during the period
indicated:
Three Months Ended
January 31,
1994 1993
Class A Common Stock $.36 $.36
Class B Common Stock $.52 $.52
NOTE 3 - CALCULATION OF NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share was calculated using the following number of
shares for the periods presented:
Class A Common Stock - 5,436,586 shares
Class B Common Stock - 6,688,648 shares
NOTE 4 - INVENTORIES
Inventories are comprised principally of raw materials.
NOTE 5 - RESTATEMENT
The 1991, 1992 and 1993 financial statements have been restated to
reflect the adoption, retroactive to November 1, 1990, of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".
In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 109, the Company recorded a one
time adjustment that resulted in a reduction of the deferred income tax
liability and the recording of a deferred tax asset. Certain prior year
amounts in the Company's financial statements have been restated. The effect
on net income for the three months ended January 31, 1993 was a reduction in
net income of $157,000.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As indicated in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, elsewhere in this
report and discussed in greater detail in the 1993 Annual Report to
Shareholders, the Company is dedicated to maintaining a strong financial
position. It is our belief that this dedication is extremely important during
all economic times.
As discussed in the 1993 Annual Report, the Company is subject to the
economic conditions of its customers. During this period, the Company has
been able to utilize its developed financial position to meet its continued
business needs.
The current ratio as of January 31, 1994 is an indication of the
continuation of the Company's strong liquidity.
Capital expenditures were $9,930,227 during the three months ended
January 31, 1994. These capital expenditures were principally needed to
replace and improve equipment.
Results of Operations
Historically, revenues or earnings may or may not be representative
of future operations because of various economic factors. The following
comparative information is presented for the 3-month periods ended January 31,
1994 and January 31, 1993.
Net sales to customers increased during the current quarter compared
to the previous period. This increase was principally the result of an
increase in the Company's business. The results of operations decreased due
to competitive price pressures of the Company's products, coupled with
increases in certain of its raw materials.
