Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- ------------------------------------------
These interim statements and management's related discussion and analysis should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and their
related notes and management's discussion and analysis of results of operations
and financial condition included in the Company's 2004 Annual Report on Form
10-K. These interim statements are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company's
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
the interim periods have been made.
Note 1. New Accounting Pronouncements:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment
("FAS 123 (R)"), was issued in December 2004. The standard is effective for the
first annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. FAS 123 (R)
supersedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees. The Statement establishes standards for the
accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments
for goods or services and requires companies to record stock option expense in
its financial statements based on a fair value methodology. The Company has
three alternatives available for implementation and is evaluating which
alternative it will choose as well as the impact of adopting this standard under
each alternative.
Note 2. Stock Plans:
The Company applies the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related Interpretations in accounting for its stock plans. No compensation
expense for stock options is reflected in net earnings, as all options granted
under such plans had an exercise price not less than the market value of the
common stock on the date of grant. The Company granted RSU's in March 2005 as an
element of its equity compensation plans for all eligible U.S. - based employees
and a majority of eligible overseas employees. Vesting of the RSU's for the
Company's senior management is both performance and time based, and for the
remainder of the eligible employees, vesting is time based; the vesting period
is generally three years from date of grant. For a small group of primarily
overseas employees, the Company continues to issue stock options. Net income, as
reported, includes pre-tax compensation expense related to restricted stock and
restricted stock units ("RSU's") of $2.2 million and $4.7 million in the second
quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2005, respectively, and $1.7 million
and $2.6 million for all equity-based awards in the second quarter and six-month
period ended June 30, 2004, respectively.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per
share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 for the periods presented:

------------------------------------------------------------------
(Dollars in thousands except per share amounts) 2005 2004 2005 2004
- ------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- --------------- -------------- ------------
Net income, as reported $ 56,713 $ 56,502 $109,256 $112,860
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense
determined under fair value method for all stock option awards,
net of related tax effect 1,913 2,896 3,797 7,473
--------------- -------------- ------------- ------------
Pro-forma net income $ 54,800 $ 53,606 $105,459 $105,387
=============== ============== ============== ============
Net income per share:
Basic - as reported $0.60 $0.60 $1.16 $1.20
Basic - pro-forma $0.58 $0.57 $1.12 $1.12
Diluted - as reported $0.60 $0.59 $1.14 $1.19
Diluted - pro-forma $0.58 $0.56 $1.10 $1.11
These pro-forma amounts may not be representative of future results because the
estimated fair value of stock options is amortized to expense over the vesting
period, and additional options may be granted in future years.
Note 3. Net Income Per Share:
Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding. A reconciliation of the shares used in the computation of basic and
diluted net income is as follows:
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
- --------------------------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------
(Shares in thousands) 2005 2004 2005 2004
- --------------------------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- --------------------
Basic 93,876 94,136 94,100 94,085
Assumed conversion under stock plans 1,379 1,194 1,540 1,143
Diluted 95,255 95,330 95,640 95,228
Stock options to purchase 819,500 and 686,181 shares were outstanding for the
second quarter and the first six months of 2005, respectively, and 872,250 and
887,500 shares for the second quarter and first six months of 2004,
respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted net income per
share for the respective periods because the options' exercise prices were
greater than the average market price of the common shares in the respective
periods.
Note 4. Segment Information:
The Company manages its operations by major geographical region: North America,
Europe, India, Latin America and Asia Pacific. The global expenses caption
represents corporate and headquarters-related expenses which include legal,
finance, human resources and other administrative expenses that are not
allocable to an individual geographic region. Flavors and fragrances have
similar economic and operational characteristics including research and
development, the nature of the creative and production processes, the type of
customers and the methods by which products are distributed. Accounting policies
used for segment reporting are identical to those described in Note 1 of the
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's 2004
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company evaluates the performance of its geographic regions based on segment
profit which is income before taxes on income, excluding interest expense, other
income and expense and the effects of restructuring and other charges and
accounting changes. Transfers between geographic areas are accounted for at
prices that approximate arm's-length market prices.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies:
The Company is party to a number of lawsuits, claims and allegations. The
lawsuits and claims are related primarily to flavoring supplied by the Company
to manufacturers of butter flavor popcorn. Certain allegations have been made
concerning food flavorings provided by the Company. These allegations concern
flavorings that may contain contaminants not manufactured by the Company that
may exist in a flavor compound provided by the Company. The Company assesses the
merits of each lawsuit, claim and allegation and the related potential financial
impact. The Company recorded its expected liability with respect to the lawsuits
and claims in Other Liabilities and expected recoveries from its insurance
carrier group in Other Assets; amounts recorded are not material. Where an
insurance receivable has been recorded, the Company believes that realization of

the financial strength of the insurance carrier group and the payment experience
to date of the carrier group as it relates to these claims. The Company has not
recorded an insurance receivable related to the product contamination issue. All
known costs related to this issue have been recorded. Although the outcome of
any litigation cannot be assured, the Company believes the ultimate resolution
of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Financial Condition
- --------------------
Executive Overview
- ------------------
The Company is a leading creator and manufacturer of flavor and
fragrance compounds used to impart or improve the flavor or fragrance in a wide
variety of consumer products.
Fragrance compounds are used in perfumes, cosmetics, toiletries, hair
care products, deodorants, soaps, detergents and softeners as well as air care
products. Flavor products are sold to the food and beverage industries for use
in consumer products such as prepared foods, beverages, dairy, food and
confectionery products. The Company is also a leading manufacturer of synthetic
ingredients used in making fragrances.
Changing social habits resulting from such factors as increases in
personal income and dual-earner households, leisure time, health concerns,
urbanization and population growth stimulate demand for consumer products
utilizing flavors and fragrances. These developments expand the market for
products with finer fragrance quality, as well as the market for colognes and
toiletries. Such developments also stimulate demand for convenience foods, soft
drinks and low-fat food products that must conform to expected tastes. These
developments necessitate the creation and development of flavors and fragrances
and ingredients that are compatible with newly introduced materials and methods
of application used in consumer products.
Flavors and fragrances are generally:
- created for the exclusive use of a specific customer;
- sold in solid or liquid form, in amounts ranging from a few kilograms to
many tons depending on the nature of the end product in which they are
used;
- a small percentage of the volume and cost of the end product sold to the
consumer; and
- a major factor in consumer selection and acceptance of the product.
Flavors and fragrances have similar economic and operational
characteristics, including research and development, the nature of the creative
and production processes, the manner in which products are distributed and the
type of customer; many of the Company's customers purchase both flavors and
fragrances.
The flavor and fragrance industry is impacted by macroeconomic factors in
all product categories and geographic regions. In addition, pricing pressure
placed on the Company's customers by large and powerful retailers and
distributors is inevitably passed along to the Company, and its competitors.
Leadership in innovation and creativity mitigates the impact of pricing
pressure. Success and growth in the industry is dependent upon creativity and
innovation in meeting the many and varied needs of the customers' products in a
cost-efficient and effective manner, and with a consistently high level of
timely service and delivery.
The Company's strategic focus is:
- To improve customer service, in terms of both on-time deliveries and
responsiveness to new product development initiatives, and to improve
the win rate for new business with the Company's customers.
- To critically evaluate the profitability and growth potential of the
Company's product portfolio, and to focus on those categories and
customers considered to be the best opportunities for long-term
profitable growth.
- To focus research and development initiatives on those areas
considered to be most likely, in the long-term, to yield the greatest
value to the Company's customers and shareholders.
The Company has made strides to implement a number of these initiatives. On time
delivery and continuous improvement in operations are supported by the global
implementation of the enterprise requirements planning software package ("SAP"),
and related initiatives. Product and category growth and strategic analysis of
these objectives is a continual focus for management and a number of new
ingredients are employed in flavor and fragrance compounds in 2005.
Operations
- ----------
Second quarter 2005 sales totaled $515.6 million, declining 2% in comparison
to the prior year, as reported. Sales for the 2005 quarter benefited from the
strengthening of various currencies, particularly the Euro, in relation to the
U.S. dollar. Had exchange rates remained constant, sales for the quarter would
have decreased 4% in comparison to the prior year quarter. Fragrance sales
increased 5% while flavor sales decreased 9%; on a local currency basis,
fragrance sales grew 2% while flavor sales declined 11%.
Flavor sales in the 2005 second quarter were impacted by the disposition, in
the second half of 2004, of the Company's European fruit preparations
business. On an as-adjusted basis, excluding $21.6 million in sales
attributable to the fruit business from the 2004 second quarter, consolidated
sales for the quarter would have increased 3% in dollars and been flat in
local currency; on the same basis, flavor sales would have declined 2% in
local currency and been flat in dollars. Flavor sales, most notably in North
America and Europe, were also unfavorably impacted by lower selling prices for
naturals, mainly vanilla. Also in the quarter, the Company experienced a
slowdown in flavor sales for products that included a contaminated raw
material received from a supplier; as a result of associated production and
shipment delays while quarantined raw materials were tested, second quarter
sales were negatively impacted by approximately $5.0 million (1.0% of the
quarter's sales).
Fragrance sales were led by fine fragrances which increased 12% in dollars and
9% in local currency; the fine fragrance performance reflected the benefit of
a number of new product wins. Chemical sales increased 6% in dollars and 3% in
local currency while sales of functional fragrances were flat in dollars and
declined 2% in local currency.
Sales performance by region for the 2005 second quarter compared to the prior
year quarter follows:
- North America flavor sales declined 10% and fragrance sales were flat; in
total, regional sales declined 5%. Aroma chemical and functional fragrance
sales declined 2% and 3%, respectively, while fine fragrances increased 4%.
New fine fragrance wins of $3.5 million drove the fine fragrance
performance for the quarter. New fragrance wins completely offset the
volume and price declines. New flavor wins of approximately $4.0 million
partially offset the effects of product erosion and decline due to price
and volume impacts.
- - European fragrance sales increased 8% while flavor sales declined 21%; in
total, regional sales declined 5%. Reported sales benefited from the
strength of the Euro and Pound Sterling; local currency sales declined 9%.
Local currency fragrance sales increased 2%; aroma chemical and fine
fragrance sales increased 4% and 11%, respectively, while functional
fragrances declined 8%. New wins accounted for $7.2 million and was the
prime driver for the fine fragrance sales growth. Functional fragrance wins
did not offset the volume and price declines. Local currency flavor sales
declined 25%, mainly as a result of the disposition of the fruit
preparations business. On an as-adjusted basis, excluding sales
attributable to this business from the 2004 results, 2005 flavor sales
would have increased 4% in dollars and decreased 1% in local currency; this
local currency decline was primarily the result of the raw material matter,
previously discussed.
- Asia Pacific sales declined 2% as a result of a local currency sales
decline of 4%. Fragrance sales decreased 6% in dollars and 8% in local
currency. Local currency functional fragrance sales declined 15%, mainly
due to weak demand in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Australia. In both
flavors and fragrances approximately $4.0 million of the decline is related
to erosion or the price and volume effects of existing products. Local
currency flavor sales declined 1%, resulting in a 1% increase in reported
dollars. For the region, Greater China, Vietnam and Singapore were
strongest, with respective local currency flavor sales increases of 11%,
11% and 17%; the flavor growth was offset by weakness in the Philippines,
Indonesia and Australia which declined 7%, 9% and 6%, respectively.
- Latin American sales increased 13% with fragrance and flavor sales
increasing 13% and 14%, respectively. For the region, sales growth was
strongest in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico which grew 21%, 17% and 15%,
respectively. Fragrance sales were strongest in Argentina, Brazil and
Mexico, with respective increases of 27%, 15% and 15%. Fragrance sales grew
in all categories with increases of 15%, 12% and 14% in fine fragrances,
functional fragrances and aroma chemical sales, respectively. Fine
fragrance sales benefited primarily from new wins while functional
fragrances benefited both from new wins and volume growth in the region.
Flavor sales were led by respective increases of 18%, 21% and 23% in
Mexico, Columbia and Brazil. In both flavors and fragrances new wins of
$5.0 million and volume increases of $6.0 million offset some declines in
existing products.
- India reported 16% sales growth in local currency and 17% in dollars. Local
currency fragrance sales increased 16% and 18% in dollars, while flavor
sales increased 17% in both local currency and dollars. In both flavors and
fragrances, the sales performance reflected the benefit of new product
introductions; however, flavor growth was also aided by substantial volume
improvements.
The percentage relationship of cost of goods sold and other operating expenses
to sales for the second quarter 2005 and 2004 are detailed below.
Second Quarter
-------------------------
2005 2004
----------- -----------
Cost of Goods Sold 58.0% 56.4%
Research and Development Expenses 8.6% 8.5%
Selling and Adminstrative Expenses 16.1% 15.9%
In the quarter, cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, was
58.0% compared to 56.4% in the prior year. The increase was mainly
attributable to increased raw material costs and customer resistance to price
increases, as well as lower selling prices for naturals, most notably vanilla.
Cost of goods sold was also impacted by costs attributable to the raw material
contamination matter noted above; in the quarter, the Company expensed
approximately $3.0 million in associated costs, comprised mainly of additional
testing costs and the write-off of affected materials. As previously announced
the Company will seek full indemnification from its supplier, the supplier's
insurers and, to the extent required, its own insurers with regard to any
potential costs and customer claims.
Research and Development ("R&D") expenses totaled 8.6% of sales compared to
8.5% in the prior year quarter, consistent with the Company's intended level
of R&D spending.
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses, as a percentage of
sales, increased to 16.1% from 15.9%. SG&A expenses include $1.6 million of
RSU and equity compensation expense compared to $1.1 million expense included
in the 2004 second quarter results. However, this increase was offset by lower
accruals under the Company's various incentive plans compared to the 2004
quarter.
Even though interest rates rose since the prior year quarter, interest expense
decreased 1%, as a result of lower average debt levels compared to the prior
year. The weighted average interest rate on total borrowings during the second
quarter of 2005 was 3.2% compared to 2.9% for the 2004 second quarter.
The effective tax rate for the 2005 second quarter was 30.8% compared to 31.2%
reported in the prior year quarter. Variations in the effective rate are
mainly attributable to fluctuations in earnings in the countries in which the
Company operates.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, sales totaled $1,038.6 million,
declining 2% in comparison to the prior year period, as reported. Reported
sales for 2005 benefited from the strengthening of various currencies,
particularly the Euro, in relation to the U.S. dollar. Had exchange rates
remained constant, sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 would
have decreased 4% compared to the prior year period. For the 2005 period,
fragrance sales increased 4% while flavor sales declined 9%; on a local
currency basis, fragrance sales grew 2% while flavor sales declined 11%.
Flavor sales in the 2005 period were impacted by the disposition, in the
second half of 2004, of the Company's European fruit preparations business. On
an as-adjusted basis, excluding $46.2 million in sales attributable to the
fruit business from the 2004 period, 2005 sales would have increased 1% in
dollars and declined 2% in local currency. Flavor sales, most notably in North
America and Europe, were also unfavorably impacted by lower selling prices for
naturals, mainly vanilla, and by the raw material matter that occurred in the
2005 second quarter, as discussed above.
Sales performance by region for the 2005 six-month period compared to the
prior year follows:
- - North America fragrance and flavor sales declined 2% and 9%, respectively;
in total, regional sales declined 5%. Functional fragrance and fine
fragrance sales declined 5% and 1%, respectively, while aroma chemical
sales increased 3%. Sales of both fragrances and flavors had a difficult
comparative with the first half of 2004 when sales grew 10% and 11%,
respectively. New flavor wins of approximately $6.0 million could not
offset the effects of price erosion and volume.
- - Europe sales declined 10% in local currency and 5% in dollars. Fragrance
sales increased 2% in local currency, resulting in an 8% increase in
reported dollar sales. Local currency fine fragrance sales increased 14%,
driven mainly by new wins of $12.2 million while functional fragrances
declined 7% and aroma chemical sales were flat. Local currency flavor sales
declined 25% mainly as a result of the disposition of the fruit
preparations business. On an as-adjusted basis, excluding sales
attributable to this business from the 2004 results, 2005 flavor sales
would have increased 4% in dollars and declined 1% in local currency.
Product contamination issues also impacted flavor sales in Europe, as
discussed above.
- - Local currency sales in Asia Pacific decreased 1%, resulting in a 1%
increase in reported dollar sales. Fragrance sales decreased 3% in local
currency and 2% in reported dollars; local currency flavor sales increased
1% and 3% in reported dollars. For the region, sales growth was strongest
in Vietnam and China, with respective local currency increases of 59% and
4%. For the six-month period, new wins in flavors and fragrances were
approximately $3.5 million and erosion was approximately $4.0 million.
- - Latin American sales increased 9% in comparison to the prior year. Flavor
sales increased 10%, benefiting from increases of 9%, 15% and 26% in
Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, respectively. Fragrance sales increased 9%
with Argentina, Mexico and Brazil increasing 22%, 7% and 11%, respectively.
New wins in all product categories were approximately $11.0 million and
volume increases exceeded the effects of existing product erosion.
- - India sales increased 15% in local currency and 16% in reported dollars.
This performance was led by both a 17% local currency and reported dollar
increase in flavor sales with fragrance sales increasing 13% in local
currency and 15% in reported dollars in comparison to the prior year
period. In both flavors and fragrances, the sales performance reflected the
benefit of new wins which exceeded product erosion and volume improvements
that approximated 9% of the increase.
The percentage relationship of cost of goods sold and other operating expenses
to sales for the first six months 2005 and 2004 are detailed below.
First Six Months
-----------------
2005 2004
------ ------
Cost of Goods Sold 58.5% 56.9%
Research and Development Expenses 8.6% 8.4%
Selling and Administrative Expenses 16.1% 16.3%
Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, increased in the first half
and was mainly attributable to increased raw material costs and customer
resistance to price increases, as well as declining selling prices for naturals,
most notably vanilla and a slowdown in order and sales activity related to
product contamination. Cost of goods sold was also impacted by lower expense
absorption attributable to the facility closure in Dijon and the cost of
transfer of related production to other manufacturing locations; production at
the Dijon facility ceased in March 2005.
R&D expenses totaled 8.6% of sales compared to 8.4% in the prior year period,
consistent with the Company's intended level of R&D spending.
SG&A expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 16.1% from 16.3%. SG&A
expenses include $3.3 million of RSU and equity compensation expense compared to
$1.4 million expense included in the 2004 results; however, this added expense
was offset mainly by lower accruals under the Company's various incentive plans
than those recorded in the prior year based on the first six months quarter's
sales and operating performance.
Interest expense declined 7% from the prior year as a result of lower debt
levels compared to the prior year. The weighted average interest rate on total
borrowings during the first six months of 2005 was 3.2% compared to 2.8% for the
first six months of 2004.
The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2005 was 31.0% compared to
31.3% for 2004. Variations in the effective rate are mainly attributable to
fluctuations in earnings in the countries in which the Company operates. The
2005 tax rate does not contemplate the effect, if any, that may arise as a
result of repatriation from overseas subsidiaries as envisioned under the
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004; the Company expects to determine the amounts
and sources, if any, of foreign earnings to be repatriated in the second half of
2005.
Restructuring and Other Charges
- -------------------------------
As described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's
2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company undertook a significant
reorganization, including management changes, consolidation of production
facilities and related actions, the actions of which were completed in 2004.
Movements in the liabilities related to the restructuring charges, included in
Restructuring and other charges or Other Liabilities as appropriate, were (in
millions):
Asset-
Employee- Related and
Related Other Total
------------- ------------ ------------
Balance December 31, 2004 $ 28.2 $ 14.9 $ 43.1
Cash and other costs (15.9) (4.0) (19.9)
------------ ------------ ------------
Balance June 30, 2005 $ 12.3 $ 10.9 $ 23.2
============ ============ ============
The balance of the employee-related liabilities are expected to be utilized by
2006 as obligations are satisfied; the asset-related and other charges are
expected to be utilized by 2006.
Financial Condition
- -------------------
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $60.2 million at June
30, 2005. Working capital at June 30, 2005 was $42.6 million compared to $561.8
million at December 31, 2004. Gross additions to property, plant and equipment
during the second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2005 were $22.5
million and $38.1 million, respectively. The Company expects additions to
property, plant and equipment to approximate $90.0 to $95.0 million for the full
year 2005 as it completes work on its new chemical facility in China and its new
creative center in India.
At June 30, 2005, the Company's outstanding commercial paper had an average
interest rate of 3.3%. Commercial paper maturities did not extend beyond July
22, 2005. Bank borrowing, overdrafts and the current portion of long-term debt
is $523.1 million at June 30, 2005, including $499.4 million of the Company's
Notes maturing in May 2006. The Company currently anticipates that all financing
requirements will be funded from operations and from credit facilities currently
in place. The Company expects to be able to renew its credit facilities at terms
comparable to its existing facilities. Cash flows from operations are expected
to be sufficient to fund the Company's anticipated normal capital spending,
dividends and other expected requirements for at least the next twelve to
eighteen months.
In January and April 2005, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $.175
per share to shareholders; an increase from the prior year quarter of $.16 per
share. In May 2005, the Board of Directors increased the dividend by 5.7% to
$.185 per share effective with the July payment.
Under the share repurchase program of $100.0 million authorized in July 2004,
the Company repurchased approximately 0.8 million shares and 1.6 million shares
in the three - and six - month periods ended June 30, 2005 at a cost of $31.0
million and $61.0 million, respectively. At June 30, 2005, the Company had
$14.6 million remaining under this repurchase plan. In May 2005, the Company's
Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program of $200.0 million;
this program is expected to be completed over the next 24 to 30 months.
Repurchases will be made from time to time on the open market or through private
transactions as market and business conditions warrant. The repurchased shares
will be available for use in connection with the Company's employee benefit
plans and for other general corporate purposes.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
- ---------------------------
The discussion of the Company's 2005 second quarter and six-month results
exclude the impact of certain restructuring and other charges recorded in 2004
related to the Company's reorganization plan as well as the effects of exchange
rate fluctuations and certain non-core businesses disposed of in 2004. Such
non-core business information, as included in this form 10-Q as well as further
detailed in a report on form 8-K filed on July 27, 2005, is supplemental to
information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) and is not intended to represent a presentation in accordance
with GAAP. In discussing its historical and expected future results and
financial condition, the Company believes it is meaningful for investors to be
made aware of and to be assisted in a better understanding of, on a
period-to-period comparative basis, the relative impact of the 2004
restructuring and other charges as well as ongoing exchange rate fluctuations
and the non-core businesses disposed of in 2004 may have on the Company's
operating results and financial condition. In addition, management reviews the
non-GAAP financial performance measure to evaluate performance on a comparative
period-to-period basis in terms of absolute performance and trend performance
related to the Company's core business.

based on management's reasonable current assumptions and expectations. Such
forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors, which
may cause the actual results of the Company to be materially different from any
future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, and
there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from
management's expectations. Such factors include, among others, the following:
general economic and business conditions in the Company's markets, including
economic, population health and political uncertainties; interest rates; the
price, quality and availability of raw materials; the Company's ability to
implement its business strategy, including the achievement of anticipated cost
savings, profitability and growth targets; the impact of currency fluctuation or
devaluation in the Company's principal foreign markets and the success of the
Company's hedging and risk management strategies; the outcome of uncertainties
related to litigation; uncertainties related to any potential claims and rights
of indemnification or other recovery for customer and consumer reaction to the
contamination issue; the impact of possible pension funding obligations and
increased pension expense on the Company's cash flow and results of operations;
and the effect of legal and regulatory proceedings, as well as restrictions
imposed on the Company, its operations or its representatives by foreign
governments. The Company intends its forward-looking statements to speak only as
of the time of such statements and does not undertake to update or revise them
as more information becomes available or to reflect changes in expectations,
assumptions or results.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
There are no material changes in market risk from the information provided in
the Company's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
- -------------------------------
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the
assistance of other members of the Company's management, have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end
of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such
evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are
effective.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have also
concluded that there have not been any changes in the Company's internal control
over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
--------------------------
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
-----------------
The Company is subject to various claims and legal actions in the
ordinary course of its business.
Since September 2001, the Company has been involved in actions where
plaintiffs allege respiratory injuries in the workplace due to the use by their
employers of an International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. ("IFF") and/or Bush
Boake Allen Inc. ("BBA") flavor. See the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the period ended March 31, 2005 under "Legal Proceedings". In June 2005 the
Company was dismissed from an action against it by a current worker at a Sioux
City, Iowa facility which is pending in U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of Iowa on the grounds that it did not sell to the employer of this
worker the flavor alleged to have caused the worker's alleged injury. Although
not served, the Company was informed in July 2005, that it has been joined,
along with a number of other flavor and chemical suppliers, in an action in the
Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois by one former employee of a Chicago area
facility alleging respiratory injuries due to alleged exposure in the workplace
of such facility to flavoring products containing diacetyl. As regards the cases
pending in the Circuit Court of Jasper County, Missouri, on May 31, 2005 one
case was resolved by a confidential settlement, and on July 19, 2005, there was
a jury verdict in favor of an additional plaintiff and his spouse, awarding
approximately $2.75 million in compensatory damages. IFF believes that the
verdict is not supported by the evidence or the law and is evaluating an appeal
of this decision.
The Company believes that all IFF and BBA flavors at issue in these
matters meet the requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and are
safe for handling and use by workers in food manufacturing plants when used
according to specified safety procedures. These procedures are detailed in
instructions that IFF and BBA provide to all its customers for the safe handling
and use of their flavors. It is the responsibility of the Company's customers to
ensure that these instructions, which include the use of appropriate engineering
controls, such as adequate ventilation, proper handling procedures and
respiratory protection for workers, are followed in the workplace.
At each balance sheet date the Company reviews the status of each of
these claims, as well as its insurance coverage for such claims with due
consideration of potentially applicable deductibles, retentions and reservations
of rights under its insurance policies, and, on an ongoing basis, the advice of
its outside legal counsel, with respect to all of these matters. Ultimate
outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty; management
believes that adequate provision has been made with respect to such pending
claims. In addition, based on information presently available and in light of
the merits of its defenses and the availability of insurance, the Company does
not expect the outcome of the above cases, singly or in the aggregate, to have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of
operation or liquidity. There can be no assurance, however, that future events
will not require the Company to increase the amount it has accrued for any
matter or accrue for a matter that had not been previously accrued because it
was not considered probable.
