LYDALL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.   The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lydall, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or the “Registrant”). All financial information is unaudited for the interim periods reported. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the same accounting principles followed in the preparation of the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, except as disclosed herein. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the December 31, 2003 audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management believes that all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods reported, have been included. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Certain prior year components of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to be consistent with current year presentation. As described in Note 7, the accompanying December 31, 2003 condensed consolidated balance sheet has been restated to reflect the change in accounting for inventory from the last-in, first-out method to the first-in, first-out method.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded a $6.8 million non-cash investing and financing transaction to increase “Other assets, net” and “Pension and other long-term liabilities” on its accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2004 to reflect the construction activities of the new automotive facility in St. Nazaire, France.

 

2.   Basic and diluted earnings per common share are calculated in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per common share are equal to net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share are equal to net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of stock options and stock awards, where such effect is dilutive.
