INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

 

Item 12.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On June 4, 2004 the Company distributed a press release that contained the following information:

 

KMG Chemicals, Inc. (NASDAQ Small Cap: KMGB), a global provider of specialty chemicals in carefully focused markets, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third fiscal 2004 quarter ended April 30, 2004.

 

For the third fiscal 2004 quarter, KMG reported net income of $651 thousand or $0.08 per diluted share, versus net income of  $530 thousand or $0.07 per diluted share reported for the same quarter in fiscal 2003. Fiscal third quarter net sales were $12.4 million, up from $9.0 million during the year earlier period.

 

For the nine months ended April 30, 2004, net income was $829 thousand or $0.11 per diluted share, down from $1.2 million or $0.15 per diluted share for the same period last year.  Net sales were $29.3 million compared to $23.3 million last year.

 

At the end of the third fiscal 2004 quarter, KMG had total assets of $38.5 million and long-term debt of $8.9 million.  The company had $1.0 million of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter.

 

“Third quarter results were significantly improved versus the previous quarter, as well as the same period last year,” David Hatcher, chairman and president of KMG Chemicals said.  “On a year-to-year basis, sales increased in all of our product groups during the third quarter.  Management feels the business is on an upswing and is expecting fourth quarter operating results to be a great deal better than last year. The initiatives previously undertaken by management are beginning to produce positive results.”

 

The company acquired the assets of Wood Protection Products, a distributor of pentachlorophenol (“penta”) solutions, during the previous fiscal quarter.  Penta is sold to industrial wood treaters to protect utility poles from mold, mildew, fungus and insects.  “The Wood Protection Products transaction was a strategic acquisition that strengthened KMG’s position in this important market.  It has proved to be accretive to earnings and cash flow and should add $6 million in annual revenue.  We expect to announce additional successes in our acquisition program within the next couple of weeks,” concluded Hatcher.
