CHART INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – June 30, 2010

(Dollars and shares in thousands, except per share amounts)

NOTE A — Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Chart Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Chart”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.

Principles of Consolidation: The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in affiliates where the Company’s ownership is between 20 percent and 50 percent, or where the Company does not have control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operations or financial policy, are accounted for under the equity method.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Nature of Operations: The Company is a leading global supplier of standard and custom-engineered products and systems serving a wide variety of low-temperature and cryogenic applications. The Company has developed an expertise in cryogenic systems and equipment, which operate at low temperatures sometimes approaching absolute zero. The majority of the Company’s products, including vacuum insulated containment vessels, heat exchangers, cold boxes and other cryogenic components, are used throughout the liquid-gas supply chain for the purification, liquefaction, distribution, storage and end-use of industrial gases and hydrocarbons. The Company has domestic operations located across the United States, including the principal executive offices located in Ohio and an international presence in Asia, Australia and Europe.

Reclassification: In 2010, the Company determined shipping and handling revenues should be recorded in sales and related shipping and handling costs should be recorded in cost of sales. Previously, both shipping and handling revenues and costs were netted within sales. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Cost of Sales: Any expenses associated with manufacturing are included in cost of sales. These costs include all materials, direct and indirect labor, inbound freight, purchasing and receiving, inspection, internal transfers and distribution and warehousing of inventory. In addition, shop supplies, facility maintenance costs, manufacturing engineering, project management and depreciation expense for assets used in the manufacturing process are included in cost of sales.

Selling, general and administrative costs (“SG&A”): SG&A includes selling, marketing, customer service, product management, design engineering, and other administrative costs not directly supporting the manufacturing process as well as depreciation expense associated with non-manufacturing assets. In addition, SG&A includes corporate operating expenses for executive management, accounting, tax, treasury, human resources, information technology, legal, internal audit, risk management and stock-based compensation expense.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all investments with an initial maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 balances include money market investments.

Short-Term Investments: From time to time, the Company invests in short-term, highly liquid, variable rate instruments, which have stated maturities of greater than three months but less than six months. These short term investments are recorded at cost which approximates fair value. The Company has determined that its investment securities are available and intended for use in current operations and, accordingly, classifies investment securities as current assets. There are no short term investments at June 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

NOTE A — Basis of Preparation – Continued

 

Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The components of inventory are as follows:

 

     June 30,
2010
   December 31,
2009

Raw materials and supplies

   $ 24,754    $ 22,795

     35,294      42,808
             
   $ 80,500    $ 85,570
             

Revenue Recognition: For the majority of the Company’s products, revenue is recognized when products are shipped, title has transferred and collection is reasonably assured. For these products, there is also persuasive evidence of an arrangement, and the selling price to the buyer is fixed or determinable. For brazed aluminum heat exchangers, cold boxes, vacuum-insulated pipe, liquefied natural gas fueling stations and engineered tanks, the Company uses the percentage of completion method of accounting. Earned revenue is based on the percentage that incurred costs to date bear to total estimated costs at completion after giving effect to the most current estimates. The cumulative impact of revisions in total cost estimates during the progress of work is reflected in the period in which these changes become known. Earned revenue reflects the original contract price adjusted for agreed upon claims and change orders, if any. Losses expected to be incurred on contracts in process, after consideration of estimated minimum recoveries from claims and change orders are charged to operations as soon as such losses are known. Pre-contract costs relate primarily to salaries and benefits incurred to support the selling effort and, accordingly, are expensed as incurred. Change orders resulting in additional revenue and profit are recognized upon approval by the customer based on the percentage that incurred costs to date bear to total estimated costs at completion. Certain contracts include incentive-fee arrangements clearly defined in the agreement and are recognized as revenue when the criteria have been met. The incentive fees in such contracts can be based on a variety of factors but the most common are the achievement of target completion dates, target costs, and/or other performance criteria. Incentive fee revenue is not recognized until it is earned. Timing of amounts billed on contracts varies from contract to contract and could cause a significant variation in working capital requirements.

Product Warranties: The Company provides product warranties with varying terms and durations for the majority of its products. The Company records warranty expense in cost of sales. The changes in the Company’s consolidated warranty reserve during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: The Company does not amortize goodwill or other indefinite lived intangible assets, but reviews them at least annually, and on an interim basis if necessary, for impairment using a measurement date of October 1st. The Company amortizes intangible assets that have finite lives over their useful lives.

The Company determines the fair value of any indefinite lived intangible assets using a discounted cash flow method, compares the fair value to its carrying value and records an impairment loss if the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Goodwill is tested utilizing a two-step approach. After recording any impairment losses for indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company determines the fair value of each reporting unit and compares the fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill, of such reporting unit (step one). To test for impairment, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit. The reporting units are also the reportable segments: Distribution & Storage, Energy & Chemicals, and BioMedical. The Company uses the income and market approaches to develop fair value estimates, which are weighted equally to arrive at a fair value estimate for each reporting unit. With respect to the income approach, a model has been developed to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit. This fair value model incorporates estimates of future cash flows, estimates of allocations of certain assets and cash flows among reporting units, estimates of future growth rates and management’s judgment regarding the applicable discount rates to use to discount those estimated cash flows. With respect to the market approach, a

NOTE A — Basis of Preparation – Continued

 

guideline company method is used selecting companies with similar assets or businesses to estimate fair value of each reporting unit. Changes to these judgments and estimates could result in a significantly different estimate of the fair value of the reporting units, which could result in a different assessment of the recoverability of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no impairment loss would be recognized. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit may be impaired. The amount of the impairment, if any, would then be measured in step two, which compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill.

The following table displays the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for all intangible assets.

Stock-based Compensation: The Company records stock-based compensation according to current accounting guidance which requires all share-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of employee stock options, to be measured at fair value on the date of grant.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company granted 241 stock options and 187 shares of restricted stock and stock units. The stock options vest over a four year period and the restricted stock and unit awards vest over a three year period.

Stock-based compensation expense was $1,361 and $803 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $2,261 and $1,648 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, the total stock-based compensation expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years is $5,717.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance as codified in ASC 810-10, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (previously SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”). This guidance is intended to improve financial reporting by providing additional guidance to companies involved with variable interest entities (“VIE’s”) and by requiring additional disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities. This guidance is generally effective for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

NOTE B — Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels of input. The three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is:

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

NOTE B — Fair Value Measurements – Continued

 

Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts to manage the volatility associated with foreign currency purchases and certain intercompany transactions in the normal course of business. Contracts typically have maturities of less than one year. Principal currencies include the euro, British pound, Japanese yen, and Czech koruna. The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts do not qualify as hedges as defined by accounting guidance. Changes in their fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as foreign currency gains or losses. The changes in fair value generated net losses of $666 and $703 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and a net loss of $86 and a net gain of $27 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

At June 30, 2010, the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities representing foreign currency forward contracts was $575. These were recorded on the balance sheet as other current liabilities. As of June 30, 2010, the Company held forward currency contracts to sell (i) 15,000 euros against the Czech koruna, (ii) 900 euros against the U.S. dollar, (iii) 386,853 Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar, and (iv) $90 against the British pound. The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are not exchange traded instruments and, accordingly, are classified as being valued using level 2 inputs which are based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.

The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The fair value of the Company’s Term Loan that is part of its Senior Credit Facility is estimated based on the present value of the underlying cash flows discounted at the Company’s estimated borrowing rate. Under this method, the fair value of the Company’s Term Loan approximated its carrying value at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The fair value of the Subordinated Notes is estimated based on a third party’s bid price. The fair value approximated the carrying value of $163,175 at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

NOTE C — Debt and Credit Arrangements

On May 18, 2010, the Company completed refinancing its prior senior secured credit facility with a $200,000 senior credit facility (“Senior Credit Facility”). As a result, the Company wrote off $1,706 of deferred financing fees related to the prior senior credit facility. The new Senior Credit Facility consists of a $65,000 term loan (the “Term Loan”), all of which remains outstanding and a $135,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with a scheduled maturity date of May 18, 2015. As part of the refinancing, the Company used cash to pay off $15,000 of its prior $80,000 term loan. The Revolver includes a $25,000 sub-limit for the issuance of swingline loans and a $50,000 sub-limit to be used for letters of credit. There is a foreign currency limit of $40,000 under the Revolver which can be used for: foreign currency denominated letters of credit and borrowings in a foreign currency, in each case in currencies agreed with the lenders. In addition, the facility permits borrowings up to $40,000 under the Revolver made by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Chart Industries Luxembourg S.à r.l. The Company also has $163,175 of 9 1/8 % senior subordinated notes (the “Subordinated Notes”) outstanding.

        The Senior Credit Facility matures on May 18, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”). Beginning September 30, 2010, the Company will begin repaying the principal balance of the Term Loan in quarterly installments of $1,625 with the balance of the indebtedness due on the Maturity Date. The base interest rate is determined at the Company’s election. The Company may select a Eurocurrency Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing. If the Company elects the Eurocurrency Borrowing, the base rate for the elected period equals the applicable Adjusted LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility). If the Company elects an ABR Borrowing, the base rate for any day equals an applicable interest margin (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) plus the greatest of the Prime Rate in effect on such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 0.5%, and the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for a one month interest period on such day plus 1.0%. The applicable interest margin on the Senior Credit Facility could change based upon the leverage ratio calculated at each fiscal quarter end. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.3% and 0.5% of the unused Revolver balance and a letter of credit participation fee equal to the daily aggregate letter of credit exposure at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Revolving Facility Borrowings (ranging from 2% to 3.5%, depending on the leverage ratio calculated at each fiscal quarter end). A fronting fee must be paid on each letter of credit that is issued equal to 0.125% per annum of the stated dollar amount of the letter of credit. The obligations under the Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company and substantially all of its U.S. subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of the Company’s Material (as defined by the Senior Credit Facility) non-U.S. subsidiaries that are owned by U.S. subsidiaries.

The Subordinated Notes are due in 2015 with interest payable semi-annually on April 15th and October 15th. Any of the Subordinated Notes may be redeemed solely at the Company’s option beginning on October 15, 2010, except as restricted by the Senior Credit Facility. The initial redemption price is 104.563% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. Also, any of the notes may be redeemed solely at the Company’s option at any time prior to October 15, 2010 (except as restricted by the Senior Credit Facility), plus accrued interest and a “make-whole” premium. The Subordinated Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior debt of the Company, including the Senior Credit Facility, pari passu in right of payment with all future senior subordinated indebtedness of the Company, and senior in right of payment with any future indebtedness of the Company that expressly provides for its subordination to the Subordinated Notes. The Subordinated Notes are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by substantially all of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries.

The Senior Credit Facility agreement and provisions of the indenture governing the Subordinated Notes contain a number of customary covenants, including but not limited to restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens or other encumbrances, sell assets, enter into sale and lease-back transactions, make certain payments, investments, loans, advances or guarantees, make acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations, pay dividends or distributions, and make capital expenditures.

As of June 30, 2010, there was $65,000 outstanding under the Term Loan, $163,175 outstanding under the Subordinated Notes and $21,785 in letters of credit issued but no other borrowings outstanding under the Revolver.

Chart Ferox, a.s. (“Ferox”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, maintains secured credit facilities with borrowing capacity, including overdraft protection, of up to 200,000 Czech korunas (“CSK”). Ferox maintains two separate facilities. Under the first facility, the revolving credit portion allows Ferox to make borrowings in CSK, euros and U.S. dollars. Borrowings in CSK are at PRIBOR, borrowings in Euros are at EURIBOR and borrowings in U.S. dollars are at LIBOR, each with a fixed margin of 1.0%. The second facility does not allow for revolving credit borrowings. Both facilities allow for overdraft protection in CSK, euros and U.S. dollars. Borrowings in CSK are at PRIBOR, borrowings in euros are at an overnight European indexed average and borrowings in U.S. dollars are at LIBOR, with a fixed margin of 0.6 – 1.0%. Ferox is not required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under either facility in respect to the unutilized commitments thereunder. Ferox must pay letter of credit and guarantee fees equal to 0.70% on the face amount of each guarantee. Ferox’s land, buildings and accounts receivable secure the credit facilities. At June 30, 2010, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Ferox credit facilities. However, there were $4,439 of bank guarantees supported by the Ferox revolving credit facilities.

NOTE D — Restructuring Activities

In April 2010, Caire Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, announced its plan to close its liquid oxygen therapy manufacturing facility in Plainfield, Indiana and relocate the manufacturing and customer service operations to a facility close to existing BioMedical operations in Canton, Georgia. The Plainfield facility was acquired as part of the 2009 acquisition of the liquid oxygen therapy business of Covidien plc. The total anticipated cost of the restructuring is approximately $6,000 which includes asset impairment charges. The Company expects the closure to be completed during the first quarter of 2011. The cost will include cash expenditures for employee retention and separation benefits as well as lease exit costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded $1,897 and $1,932, respectively, related to the closure of the Plainfield, Indiana BioMedical facility and the write-down to net realizable value of certain assets at the facility. These charges for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were recorded in cost of sales ($986), selling, general and administrative expenses ($246) and asset impairment charges ($700).

The Company initiated cost containment programs, commencing in the second quarter of 2009 to appropriately align its cost structure with expected market conditions. The programs consisted primarily of planned workforce reductions and the shutdown of its Denver, Colorado BioMedical facility. The planned workforce reductions were substantially completed during the fourth quarter of 2009 and the shutdown of the BioMedical facility was completed in the third quarter of 2009.

The following tables summarize the Company’s restructuring activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2009.

NOTE G — Acquisitions

On April 2, 2010, Chart Japan Co., Ltd. completed the acquisition of Covidien Japan Inc.’s liquid oxygen therapy business for $1,008 in cash. The fair value of the assets acquired at closing was $2,132 which exceeded the cash paid and, accordingly, resulted in a gain on acquisition of business of $1,124 during the three months ended June 30, 2010. Available public information indicated that Covidien sought to streamline its business portfolio in an expeditious manner and reallocate resources to other businesses, therefore, the liquid oxygen therapy business was considered a non-core asset.

On November 27, 2009, Caire Inc. and other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company completed the acquisition of Covidien’s liquid oxygen therapy business, including the design, manufacturing, and worldwide sales and service functions, for $9,082 in cash in the initial closing. The fair value of the assets acquired in the initial closing of $16,036 exceeded the cash paid and, accordingly, resulted in a gain on acquisition of business of $6,954 in 2009. Net sales of $28,012 were added to the

NOTE J — Reporting Segments

The structure of the Company’s internal organization is divided into the following three reportable segments: Energy and Chemicals (“E&C”), Distribution and Storage (“D&S”) and BioMedical. The Company’s reportable segments are business units that are each managed separately because they manufacture, offer and distribute distinct products with different production processes and sales and marketing approaches. The E&C segment sells brazed aluminum and air-cooled heat exchangers, cold boxes and liquefied natural gas vacuum-insulated pipe to natural gas, petrochemical processing and industrial gas companies who use them for the liquefaction and separation of natural and industrial gases. The D&S segment sells cryogenic bulk storage systems, cryogenic packaged gas systems, cryogenic systems and components, beverage liquid CO2 systems, cryogenic flow meter systems and cryogenic services to various companies for the storage and transportation of both industrial and natural gases. The BioMedical segment sells medical respiratory products, biological storage systems and other oxygen products. Due to the nature of the products that each segment sells, there are no intersegment sales. Corporate includes operating expenses for executive management, accounting, tax, treasury, human resources, information technology, legal, internal audit, risk management and stock-based compensation expenses that are not allocated to the reporting segments.

         The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on operating income or loss from continuing operations before net interest expense, financing costs amortization expense, foreign currency gain or loss, income taxes and noncontrolling interest. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

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

Overview

Chart Industries, Inc. (the “Company,” “Chart,” or “we”) is a leading independent global manufacturer of highly engineered equipment used in the production, storage and end-use of hydrocarbon and industrial gases. We supply engineered equipment used throughout the global liquid supply chain. The largest portion of end-use applications for our products is energy-related. We are a leading manufacturer of standard and engineered equipment primarily used for low temperature and cryogenic applications. We have developed an expertise in cryogenic systems and equipment, which operate at low temperatures sometimes approaching absolute zero (0 kelvin; -273° Centigrade;—459° Fahrenheit). The majority of our products, including vacuum insulated containment vessels, heat exchangers, cold boxes and other cryogenic components are used throughout the liquid gas supply chain for the purification, liquefaction, distribution, storage and end-use of hydrocarbon and industrial gases.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, orders were $275.5 million and backlog has increased to $199.9 million compared to $185.1 million at December 31, 2009. We experienced declines in our sales, gross profit and operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. This was largely due to the reduction in project backlog at E&C due to the completion of several LNG projects during 2009, lower volume in our brazed aluminum heat exchanger business and the lack of new orders in our systems business. The underutilized capacity and a drawn-out return of capital projects continue to have an unfavorable impact on E&C volume and margins. This was partially offset by benefits from acquisitions in our BioMedical business including the liquid oxygen therapy business of Covidien (“Covidien Acquisition”) in the fourth quarter of 2009, as well as the related Japanese assets in the second quarter of 2010, and Chengdu Golden Phoenix Liquid Nitrogen Container Co. Ltd., in the second quarter of 2009. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $257.4 million compared to sales of $338.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, reflecting a decrease of $81.0 million, or 23.9%. Acquisitions added $31.5 million in sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Our gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $71.9 million, or 27.9% of sales, as compared to $118.6 million, or 35.0% of sales, for the same period in 2009. In addition, our operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $16.2 million compared to $63.4 million for the same period in 2009.

We continue to see an improving global market in all our business segments as industrial activity, especially in China and Asia, continues to improve. Order intake began to improve during the third quarter of 2009 and has continued to improve sequentially through the second quarter of 2010 in our D&S and BioMedical businesses. Current concerns regarding the strength of the economic recovery continue to have an impact on capital projects which impact our E&C business, but quote activity continues to be strong. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico had no impact on our business as our products historically have not been used in offshore drilling applications. A new $200 million senior secured credit facility (“Senior Credit Facility”) was executed during the second quarter 2010, which extended the debt maturity to 2015 as the prior facility was due to expire in October 2010. We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility should be adequate to meet our working capital, capital expenditure, debt service and other operational funding requirements for the remaining six months of 2010.

Sales

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $139.1 million compared to $156.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, reflecting a decrease of $17.6 million, or 11.2%. E&C segment sales were $31.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with sales of $70.8 million for three months ended June 30, 2009, which reflected a decrease of $39.4 million or 55.6%. The significant decline in sales occurred in the systems product line due to the lack of substantial new orders and a number of projects being completed in 2009. Brazed aluminum heat exchanger sales also decreased significantly due to reduced volume and lower pricing. The delay of new capital projects due to uncertainty in the economic recovery continues to have an unfavorable impact on E&C volume and pricing. D&S segment sales increased $3.6 million, or 5.6%, to $68.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $64.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to higher volume resulting from increased demand in package gas systems, particularly in China. The increases in volume in packaged gas systems were partially offset by decreased volume in bulk tanks. In addition, D&S segment sales were negatively affected in the second quarter of 2010 by the weakening of the euro and the Czech koruna against the U.S. dollar as compared to exchange rates experienced during the same period in 2009. BioMedical segment sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $39.6 million compared to $21.4 million for the same period in 2009, which reflected an increase of $18.2 million, or 85.0%. The increase was primarily driven by the Covidien Acquisition, which added $15.1 million of medical respiratory sales. Biological storage systems sales also increased $4.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010. These increases were partially offset by the weakening of the euro against the U.S. dollar during the second quarter of 2010.

Gross Profit and Margin

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $37.6 million, or 27.0% of sales, versus $55.9 million, or 35.7% of sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 resulting in an $18.3 million decrease. E&C segment gross profit decreased $24.3 million and its margin decreased 25.2 percentage points, primarily due to lower volume and price due to the delay of new capital projects and underutilized capacity in the industry as a result of uncertainty in the economic recovery. The 2009 quarter also included favorable cost revision estimates on a number of projects that were nearing completion as well as cancellation fees on other orders in accordance with contract terms which improved margin approximately 4%. Gross profit for the D&S segment decreased $0.7 million, as margin declined 2.6 percentage points, largely due to mix and higher material costs, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. The BioMedical gross profit increased $6.6 million as margin increased 1.2 percentage points, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume and favorable product mix for medical respiratory products and biological storage systems which was partially offset by a non-cash charge of $0.6 million related to the write up of acquired inventory to fair value in the acquisition of Covidien’s Japanese liquid oxygen therapy business that was sold during the three months ended June 30, 2010. BioMedical’s restructuring charges impacted margin percentages in both periods by about 5% with the Plainfield, Indiana facility shutdown in 2010 and the Denver, Colorado facility shutdown in 2009.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $25.5 million, or 18.3% of sales, compared to $23.5 million, or 15% of sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2009. SG&A expenses for the E&C segment were $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $1.8 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower variable compensation and sales commission costs related to reduced sales volume. D&S segment SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $7.2 million compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $0.4 million. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower compensation costs due to the reduction in workforce in 2009. SG&A expenses for the BioMedical segment were $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase of $3.1 million was primarily attributable to increased compensation and integration costs, associated with the Covidien Acquisition. In addition, restructuring costs of $0.3 million related to the shutdown of the Plainfield, Indiana facility contributed to the increase. Corporate SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $7.2 million compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This increase of $1.1 million was attributable to higher stock-based compensation expense and higher employee related costs.

Asset Impairment Charge

An asset impairment charge of $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was the result of certain equipment at the Plainfield facility, which was acquired in the Covidien Acquisition, being written down to its net realizable value as part of the planned closure of the facility. An asset impairment charge of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was the result of certain equipment at the BioMedical facility in Denver, Colorado being written down to its net realizable value as part of the facility shutdown.

Amortization Expense

Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $2.8 million, or 2.0% of sales, compared to $2.6 million, or 1.7% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase of $0.2 million results from amortization of intangible assets that arose from the Covidien Acquisition.

Operating Income

As a result of the foregoing, operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $8.6 million, or 6.2% of sales, a decrease of $20.7 million compared to operating income of $29.3 million, or 18.7% of sales, for the same period in 2009.

Net Interest Expense and Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs

Net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $4.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was primarily attributable to slightly higher variable interest rates on the term loan portion of our Senior Credit Facility. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase of $1.6 million was due to the $1.7 million write off of the remaining deferred financing costs related to the previous senior credit facility, which was refinanced in May 2010.

Gain on Acquisition of a Business

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized a $1.1 million gain as a result of the acquisition of Covidien’s Japanese oxygen therapy business in April 2010. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimates of fair value at the date of acquisition. The estimates of fair value exceeded the cash paid and, accordingly, resulted in a gain on acquisition of business.

Other Expense and Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, foreign currency losses were $0.3 million as compared to gains of $1.0 million for the same period in 2009. The currency losses occurred due to the weakening of the euro against the U.S. dollar during the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense of $0.8 million and $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, represents taxes on both U.S. and foreign earnings at an effective income tax rate of 25.0% and 31.5%, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to lower domestic earnings, which are taxed at higher rates than our foreign earnings and to a permanent tax difference on the gain on acquisition of the Japanese assets associated with the Covidien Acquisition.

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing, reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $2.4 million and $17.8 million, respectively.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

Sales

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $257.4 million compared to $338.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, reflecting a decrease of $81.0 million, or 23.9%. E&C segment sales were $57.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with sales of $161.2 million for the same period in 2009, which represented a decrease of $103.6 million, or 64.3%. A significant decline in sales occurred in the systems product line due to the lack of substantial new orders while a number of projects were completed in 2009. Brazed aluminum heat exchanger sales also decreased significantly due to reduced volume and lower pricing. D&S segment sales decreased $8.2 million, or 6.1%, to $127.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $135.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Bulk storage system sales decreased $12.7 million, which was partially offset by an increase in package gas system sales of $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Bulk storage system sales decreased due to lower demand. In addition, D&S segment sales were negatively affected during the six months ended June 30, 2010 from the weakening of the euro and the Czech koruna against the U.S. dollar. BioMedical segment sales increased $30.8 million, or 73.5%, to $72.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $41.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was primarily driven by the Covidien Acquisition, which added $28.0 million of medical respiratory sales during the six months ended June 30, 2010. Biological storage systems sales also increased $4.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010. These increases were partially offset by the discontinuation of magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) sales in 2009.

Gross Profit and Margin

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $71.9 million, or 27.9% of sales, versus $118.6 million, or 35.0% of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 resulting in a $46.7 million decrease. E&C segment gross profit decreased $53.1 million, or 20.8 percentage points in the 2010 period compared to the 2009 period, primarily due to lower volume as a result of the absence of large projects due to continuing concern regarding the recovery of the global economy. Gross profit for the D&S segment decreased $3.3 million, or 0.8 percentage points, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to lower volume and unfavorable product mix. BioMedical gross profit increased $9.8 million, as margin declined 2.0 percentage points, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The BioMedical gross profit margin decreased in 2010 primarily due to restructuring costs of $1.0 million related to the planned closure of the Plainfield, Indiana facility and non-cash charges of $2.1 million related to the write up of acquired inventory to fair value, as a result of the Covidien Acquisition, that was sold during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

SG&A

        SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $49.5 million, or 19.2% of sales, versus $49.4 million, or 14.6% of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2009. SG&A expenses for the E&C segment were $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $15.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $5.5 million. The decrease for the E&C segment was primarily the result of lower variable incentive compensation expenses and sales commissions due to lower volume during 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. D&S segment SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $14.4 million compared to $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $0.9 million. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower employee compensation costs due to workforce reductions in 2009. SG&A expenses for the BioMedical segment were $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an

Table of Contents

increase of $5.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was largely due to increased employee and integration costs as a result of the Covidien Acquisition and restructuring costs of $0.3 million related to the planned closure of the Plainfield, Indiana facility. Corporate SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $13.9 million compared to $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This increase of $1.5 million was attributable to higher stock-based compensation costs and consulting fees.

Amortization Expense

Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $5.5 million, or 2.1% of sales, compared to $5.3 million, or 1.6% of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase of $0.2 million results from amortization of intangible assets that arose from the Covidien Acquisition.

Asset impairment charge

An asset impairment charge of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was the result of certain equipment at the Plainfield, Indiana facility, which was acquired in the Covidien Acquisition, being written down to its net realizable value as part of the closure of the facility. An asset impairment charge of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was the result of certain equipment at the BioMedical facility in Denver, Colorado being written down to its net realizable value as part of the facility shutdown.

Operating Income

As a result of the foregoing, operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $16.2 million, or 6.3% of sales, a decrease of $47.2 million compared to operating income of $63.4 million, or 18.7% of sales, for the same period in 2009.

Net Interest Expense and Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs

Net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $8.2 million and $7.8 million, respectively. This increase in interest expense of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was primarily attributable to higher variable interest rates on the term loan portion of our Senior Credit Facility. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase of $1.6 million was due to the $1.7 million write off of the remaining deferred financing costs related to the senior credit facility which was refinanced in May 2010.

Gain on Acquisition of a Business

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized a $1.1 million gain as a result of the acquisition of Covidien’s Japanese oxygen therapy business in April 2010. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimates of fair value at the date of acquisition. The estimates of fair value exceeded the cash paid and, accordingly, resulted in a gain on acquisition of business.

Other Expenses and Income

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, foreign currency losses were $1.4 million as compared to currency gains of $0.3 million for the same period in 2009. The currency losses occurred due to the weakening of the euro against the U.S. dollar during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense of $1.4 million and $17.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, represents taxes on both domestic and foreign earnings at an annual effective income tax rate of 26.2% and 32.2%, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in domestic earnings, which are taxed at a higher rate as compared to foreign earnings.

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $3.8 million and $37.2 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Debt Instruments and Related Covenants

        On May 18, 2010, the Company completed the refinancing of its prior credit facility with a $200.0 million senior credit facility (“Senior Credit Facility”). The new Senior Credit Facility consists of a $65.0 million term loan and a $135.0 million revolving credit facility with a scheduled maturity date of May 18, 2015. Under the terms of the new facility, 10% of the $65.0

million term loan is payable in quarterly installments of $1.6 million with the balance due in 2015. As part of the refinancing, the Company used cash to pay off $15.0 million of its prior $80.0 million term loan.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $163.2 million outstanding under the senior subordinated notes (“Subordinated Notes”) and $21.8 million of letters of credit and bank guarantees supported by the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility. The Company is in compliance with all covenants, including its financial covenants, under the Senior Credit Facility and Subordinated Notes. Availability on the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility was $113.2 million at June 30, 2010.

Sources and Use of Cash

Cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $14.6 million compared with cash provided by operations of $58.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in cash provided by operations of $44.2 million in the 2010 period was primarily attributable to decreased net income.

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $13.0 million compared to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $7.9 million compared with $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, $1.0 million of cash was used to acquire the Japanese liquid oxygen therapy business of Covidien. In addition, the final purchase payments for Chengdu Golden Phoenix Liquid Nitrogen Container Company, Ltd. (“Golden Phoenix”) of $4.1 million were paid during the 2010 period. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, $5.2 million of cash, net of cash acquired was used for two acquisitions: the equity interests of Golden Phoenix and substantially all of the assets of Tri-Thermal, Inc. Also, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, certain short-term investments matured and the proceeds totaled $2.0 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company made a $15.0 million principal payment on the term loan portion of the credit facility as part of the refinancing. The Company also paid $2.5 million in financing costs related to the credit facility refinancing.

The Company does not anticipate any unusual cash requirements for working capital needs, but expects to use $10.0 to $14.0 million of cash for capital expenditures for the remaining six months of 2010. A significant portion of the capital expenditures are expected to be used for the construction of new BioMedical manufacturing facilities in Canton, Georgia as part of the Company’s restructuring plan.

During 2010, the Company has and will continue to consider making acquisitions as part of its strategic growth initiatives and expects to fund these acquisitions with primarily cash or stock.

For the remaining six months of 2010, cash requirements for debt service are forecasted to be approximately $8.3 million for scheduled interest payments under our Senior Credit Facility and the Subordinated Notes and $3.3 million of required quarterly principal payments under the term loan portion of our Senior Credit Facility. We may also from time to time seek to purchase a portion of our Subordinated Notes outstanding through cash purchases on the open market, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements and our debt covenants. For the remainder of 2010, we expect to use approximately $6.6 million of cash for both U.S. and foreign income taxes and to contribute approximately $0.4 million of cash to our defined benefit pension plan to meet ERISA minimum funding requirements.

Orders and Backlog

We consider orders to be those for which we have received a firm signed purchase order or other written contractual commitment from the customer. Backlog is comprised of the portion of firm signed purchase orders or other written contractual commitments received from customers that the Company has not recognized as revenue under the percentage of completion method or based upon shipment. Backlog can be significantly affected by the timing of orders for large projects, particularly in the E&C segment, and it is not necessarily indicative of future backlog levels or the rate at which backlog will be recognized as sales. Orders included in our backlog may include customary cancellation provisions under which the customer could cancel part or all of the order at times subject to the payment of certain costs and/or penalties. Backlog as of June 30, 2010 was $199.9 million compared to $204.6 million as of March 31, 2010.

E&C orders for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $29.9 million compared to $46.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. E&C backlog totaled $106.2 million at June 30, 2010 compared to $107.7 million at March 31, 2010. The decrease of $16.1 million, or 35%, in orders is due to a large order to supply components to an existing ammonia plant received during the first quarter of 2010 with no similar order in the second quarter of 2010. Order flow in the E&C segment is historically volatile due to project size and it is not unusual to see order intake fluctuate significantly quarter to quarter.

D&S orders for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $69.6 million compared to $57.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. D&S backlog totaled $84.0 million at June 30, 2010 compared to $84.6 million at March 31, 2010. Orders for both bulk systems and package gas systems increased during the three months ended June 30, 2010 versus the three months ended March 31, 2010.

BioMedical orders for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $36.7 million compared to $36.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. BioMedical backlog at June 30, 2010 totaled $9.6 million compared to $12.3 million at March 31, 2010.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in the Securities Act.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

In particular, judgment is used in areas such as revenue recognition for long-term contracts, determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation reserves, goodwill, indefinite lived intangibles, environmental remediation obligations, product warranty costs, pensions and deferred tax assets. There have been no significant changes in accounting policies since December 31, 2009.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as the same may be updated from time to time. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the filing date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In the normal course of business, the Company’s operations are exposed to continuing fluctuations in foreign currency values and interest rates that can affect the cost of operating and financing. Accordingly, the Company addresses a portion of these risks through a program of risk management.

The Company’s primary interest rate risk exposure results from the various floating rate pricing mechanisms on the Senior Credit Facility. If interest rates were to increase 200 basis points (2 percent) from June 30, 2010 rates, and assuming no changes in debt from the June 30, 2010 levels, the additional annual expense would be approximately $1.3 million on a pre-tax basis.

The Company has assets, liabilities and cash flows in foreign currencies creating exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations in the normal course of business. Chart’s primary exchange rate exposure is with the euro, the British pound, the Czech koruna, the Japanese yen and the Chinese yuan. Monthly measurement, evaluation and forward exchange rate contracts are employed as methods to reduce this risk. The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge anticipated and firmly committed foreign currency transactions. Chart does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The terms of the contracts are generally one year or less. At June 30, 2010, the Company had foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts of (i) 15.0 million euros against the Czech Koruna, (ii) 0.9 million euros against the U.S. dollar, (iii) 386.9 Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar, and (iv) $0.1 million against the British pound. At June 30, 2010, a hypothetical 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar would not materially affect the Company’s financial statements. See Note B – Fair Value Measurements for additional information.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2010, an evaluation was performed, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, such officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company is undertaking a phased implementation and upgrade of its existing J D Edwards global Enterprise Resource Planning software system and one site went “live” during the fourth quarter of 2009. The Company believes it is maintaining and monitoring appropriate internal controls during the implementation period and that its internal controls will be enhanced as a result of the implementation of the new system.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
