3 ALBANY INTERNATIONAL CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Management Opinion In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995. 2. Other Expense, Net Included in other expense, net for the nine months ended September 30 are: currency transactions, $1.7 million income in 1996 and $1.8 million income in 1995, debt related costs, $.8 million in 1996 and $1.2 million in 1995, interest rate protection agreements, $.8 million income in 1996 and $.6 million income in 1995 and other miscellaneous expenses, none of which are significant, in 1996 and 1995. Included in other expense, net for the three months ended September 30 are: currency transactions, $.2 million expense in 1996 and $.9 million income in 1995, debt related costs, $.3 million in 1996 and $.5 million in 1995, interest rate protection agreements, $.5 million income in 1996 and other miscellaneous expenses, none of which are significant, in 1996 and 1995. 3. Earnings Per Share Primary earnings per share on common stock are computed using the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock outstanding during each year. Options granted under the Company's stock option plans were not dilutive to primary earnings per share at September 30, 1996 and 1995. As discussed in Note 5, the convertible subordinated debentures were redeemed in March 1996 and therefore excluded from the 1996 earnings per share calculation. The convertible subordinated debentures are not common stock equivalents and did not affect 1995 primary earnings per share. At Septemnber 30, 1995, the combined effect of the options and the convertible subordinated debentures were dilutive and were therefore included in the computation of fully diluted earnings per share. The weighted average number of shares outstanding, assuming full dilution, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 was 36,663,381 and 36,441,128, respectively. Net income for the fully diluted earnings per share calculation, assuming interest savings from the conversion of the subordinated debentures, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $13.0 million and $35.2 million, respectively. 4. Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was 39% as compared to 40% for the same period last year and approximates the anticipated effective tax rate for the full year 1996. 4 5. Debt In February 1996, the Company amended its existing $150 million revolving credit agreement, with its principal banks in the United States, to increase the banks' commitment to $300 million with more favorable terms. The banks' commitment will decline to $150 million in 2001 with the final maturity in 2002. The terms of the revolving credit agreement include a facility fee and allow the Company to select from various loan pricing options. On March 15, 1996, the Company redeemed the $150 million, 5.25% convertible subordinated debentures at a redemption price of 91.545%. This redemption resulted in an extraordinary charge of approximately $1.3 million, net of tax. 6. Supplementary Cash Flow Information Interest paid for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $14.7 million and $17.4 million, respectively. Taxes paid for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $13.2 million and $8.1 million, respectively. 7. Acquisition In August 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase substantially all of the assets of Schieffer Door Systems, a manufacturer of high-speed, high-performance industrial doors located in Germany, for approximately $25 million. The Company has received government approval and plans to close on the transaction in November 1996. 5 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased 4.8% compared to the same period in 1995. The effect of the stronger U.S. dollar as compared to the third quarter of 1995 was to decrease net sales by $1.3 million. Excluding this effect, third quarter net sales increased 5.6% over 1995. For the three months ended September 30, 1996, net sales increased in all geographic regions except Canada. Net sales increased 5.6% to $510 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared with the same period in 1995. Dollar rate effects were not significant. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, sales increased in all geographic regions. The sales gains were made despite a 4.7% reduction in paper production and a 2.8% reduction in board production during the first nine months of 1996 in the United States. In Europe, total production of paper and board in Western Europe fell in the first nine months of 1996, but there is evidence that strengthening is beginning in some paper grades. Gross profit was 42.3% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 41.8% for the same period in 1995 bringing the nine month result to 41.9% for 1996 as compared to 41.7% for 1995. Year to date variable costs as a percent of net sales increased from 32.8% in 1995 to 32.9% for the same period in 1996, due mainly to increased sales of product lines with higher cost to sales dollar ratios. Selling, technical, general and research expenses increased 8.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The translation of non-U.S. currencies into U.S. dollars had no significant effect on these expenses. Increased wages and benefit costs and additional costs generated by acquisitions made in the second half of 1995 accounted for a significant portion of the increase. Operating income as a percentage of net sales was 13.3% for the nine months ended September 30,1996 as compared to 13.8% for the comparable period in 1995 and was 14.2% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 14.8% for the same period last year due to items discussed above. Interest expense decreased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996, despite higher total debt, due to an average interest rate of 6.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 7.3% over the same period in 1995. 6 In August 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase substantially all of the assets of Schieffer Door Systems, a manufacturer of high-speed, high-performance industrial doors located in Germany, for approximately $25 million. The Company has received government approval and plans to close on the transaction in November 1996. Reasons for the changes in operating results for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding period in 1995 are similar to those which affected the nine month comparisons, except where specifically noted. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: Although inventories increased $11.1 million from December 31, 1995, the increase in the third quarter was only $.9 million, a significant improvement over the first six month's performance. Accounts receivable are about even with the level at December 31, 1995, in spite of the 5.6% increase in net sales. Management expects further improvements in working capital in the fourth quarter. In February 1996, the Company amended its existing $150 million revolving credit agreement, with its principal banks in the United States, to increase the banks' commitment to $300 million with more favorable terms. The banks' commitment will decline to $150 million in 2001 with the final maturity in 2002. The terms of the revolving credit agreement include a facility fee and allow the Company to select from various loan pricing options. Management believes that the unused line, in combination with expected free cash flows, should be sufficient to meet operating requirements and for business opportunities and acquisitions which support corporate strategies. On March 15, 1996, the Company redeemed the $150 million, 5.25% convertible subordinated debentures at a redemption price of 91.545%. This redemption resulted in an extraordinary charge of approximately $1.3 million, net of tax. The debentures were redeemed by utilizing the revolving credit agreement and short-term debt. The Company's current debt structure has resulted in lower interest expense and currently provides approximately $200 million in committed and available unused long-term debt capacity with financial institutions. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $34.3 million as compared to $30.9 million for the same period last year. The Company anticipates that capital expenditures, excluding South Korea, will be approximately $45 million for the full year. An additional $8 million will be spent for construction of a manufacturing facility in South Korea. The Company will finance these expenditures with cash from operations and existing credit facilities. Cash dividends of $.10 per share were paid in the first three quarters of 1996 and were related to the fourth quarter of 1995 and the first two quarters of 1996. The Company also declared a cash dividend of $.10 per share for the third quarter of 1996, which will be paid in the fourth quarter of this year. 7 Part II - Other Information Item 6.

(4) Incremental shares of unexercised options are calculated based on the higher of the average price of the Company's stock or the ending price for the respective period. The calculation includes all options whose exercise price is below the higher of the average or ending stock price. (5) The convertible subordinated debentures were redeemed in March 1996 and therefore removed from the fully diluted calculation. In 1995, the subordinated debentures were convertible into 5,712,450 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. There were no conversions as of September 30, 1995. Upon any conversion, the Company would realize an after-tax income adjustment based on the effective interest expense on the bonds less the corresponding income tax deduction. The full amount of the shares and the income adjustment are included in the calculation only when they cause dilution to net income per share.
