7.       Goodwill

"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on December 30, 2001. As required by
SFAS 142, the Company has completed the transitional impairment test on

residual values of all acquired intangible assets. No adjustments or
reclassifications were required by this reassessment, and only goodwill was
determined to have an indefinite life. Goodwill amortization in fiscal 2001 was
$345 thousand on an after-tax basis, or $0.14 per share. Goodwill amortization
for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001 was $123 thousand and
$255 thousand, respectively, on an after-tax basis, or $0.05 per share and $0.10
per share, respectively. Based upon these amounts, the as adjusted net income
and diluted earnings per share for the three months and six months ended June
30, 2001 was $0.733 million and $0.30 and $1.840 million and $0.74,
respectively.

ITEM     2. MANAGEMENT"S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         For the second quarter and first six months of 2002, K-Tron reported
net income of $ 0.814 million and $1.565 million, respectively, compared to
$0.610 million and $1.585 million for the same periods in 2001. On July 31,
2001, we sold our Hasler heavy feeder business ("Hasler"), and on November 30,
2001 we acquired Pneumatic Conveying Systems Limited ("PCS") in the United
Kingdom, which transactions are more fully discussed in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2001.

         We are an international company and derived approximately 57% and 60%
of our revenues for the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively, from
products manufactured in, and services performed from, our facilities located
outside the United States, primarily in Europe. Since we operate globally, we
are sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates ("foreign exchange
rates"), which can affect both the translation of financial statement items of
foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars as well as transactions where the
revenues and related expenses may initially be accounted for in different
currencies, such as sales made from our Swiss manufacturing facility in
currencies other than the Swiss franc.

         The following table sets forth our results of operations expressed as a
percentage of total revenues for the periods indicated:

         As previously noted, more than half of our revenues are normally
derived from activities in foreign jurisdictions. Consequently, our results can
be significantly affected by changes in foreign exchange rates, particularly in
U.S. dollar exchange rates with respect to the Swiss franc, euro and British
pound sterling and, to a lesser degree, the Singapore dollar and other
currencies. When the U.S. dollar strengthens against these currencies, the U.S.
dollar value of non-U.S. dollar-based sales decreases. When the U.S. dollar
weakens against these currencies, the U.S. dollar value of non-U.S. dollar-based
sales increases. Correspondingly, the U.S. dollar value of non-U.S. dollar-based
costs increases when the U.S. dollar weakens and decreases when the U.S. dollar
strengthens. Overall, since we typically receive a majority of our revenues in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar, we generally benefit from a weaker dollar
and are adversely affected by a stronger dollar relative to major currencies
worldwide, especially those identified above. In particular, a general weakening
of the U.S. dollar against other currencies may positively affect our total
revenues, gross profit and operating income as expressed in U.S. dollars,
whereas a general strengthening of the U.S. dollar against such currencies would
have the opposite effect.

         In addition, our revenues and income with respect to particular
transactions may be affected by changes in foreign exchange rates where sales
are made in currencies other than the functional currency of the facility
manufacturing the product subject to the sale, including in particular the U.S.
dollar/Swiss franc (for inter-company transactions) and the Swiss franc/euro and
Swiss franc/British pound sterling (for sales from the Company"s Swiss
manufacturing facility) exchange rates.

         For the second quarter and first six months of 2002 and 2001, the
changes in certain key exchange rates were as follows:

         Total revenues decreased by $2.4 million or 12.6% in the second quarter
of 2002 and by $7.2 million or 17.7% in the first six months of 2002 compared to
the same periods in 2001. Without Hasler, revenues decreased by $0.8 million or
4.6% in the second quarter of 2002 and by $3.7 million or 9.8% in the first six
months of 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001, driven by declines in
EMEA/Asia and to a lesser extent in the Americas, due to a weaker global economy
with reduced capital spending in the process industries we serve, partially
offset by two full quarters of revenues from the November 30, 2001 PCS
acquisition and the positive effect of a weaker U.S. dollar when translating the
results of foreign operations. If the average foreign exchange rates for the
second quarter and first six months of 2001 were applied to the same periods of
2002, total revenues for 2002 (excluding Hasler) would have decreased by $1.7
million or 9.4% for the second quarter and by $4.4 million or 11.8% for the
first six months versus the same periods in 2001.

         Gross profit as a percent of revenues increased to 42.6% for the second
quarter and first six months of 2002 compared to 39.8% and 40.6% for the same
periods in 2001. The improvement in gross profit was primarily due to the change
in sales mix as a result of the July 31, 2001 sale of the Hasler business and a
reduction in fixed costs, including the elimination of goodwill expense as the
Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on December 30, 2001. Goodwill amortization for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2001 was $123 thousand and $255
thousand, respectively.

         Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense decreased by $0.6
million or 9.5% (same SG&A level without Hasler) for the second quarter of 2002
and decreased by $1.8 million or 14.6% ($0.6 million or 5.1% without Hasler) for
the first six months of 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001. The decrease
in 2002 SG&A was primarily due to lower commissions on the reduced revenues,
fewer employees and the elimination of Hasler SG&A, offset in part by higher
foreign exchange translation rates (weaker U.S. dollar). As a percent of total
revenues, SG&A for the second quarter and first six months of 2002 was 31.4%
compared to 30.4% and 30.3% for the same periods in 2001.

         Research and development (R&D) expenditures decreased by $186 thousand
or 4.1% for the second quarter of 2002 and by $229 thousand or 15.1% for the
first six months of 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001. R&D expenses
decreased due to lower staff costs, partially offset by an increase in tooling
costs and by higher foreign exchange translation rates (weaker U.S. dollar). R&D
expense as a percent of total revenues was 3.5% for the second quarter of 2002
and 3.8% for the first six months of 2002 compared to 4.0% and 3.7% for the same
periods in 2001.

         Interest expense decreased by $146 thousand or 53.1% for the second
quarter of 2002 and by $284 thousand or 48.5% for the first six months of 2002
compared to the same periods in 2001, primarily due to lower interest rates and
debt reductions.

         Income before income taxes was $1.178 million for the second quarter of
2002 and $2.183 million for the first six months of 2002 compared to $0.777
million and $2.121 million for the same periods in 2001. The changes during the
periods were the result of the items discussed above, with the second quarter
and first six months of 2002 income before income taxes improving versus a year
ago, despite lower revenues, primarily as a results of the Hasler sale and the
globalization and cost reduction initiatives which we implemented during 2001.

         The effective tax rates for the second quarter and first six months of
2002 were 30.9% and 28.3% compared to 21.5% and 25.3% for the same periods in
2001. The higher effective tax rates in 2002 were primarily due to a higher
proportion of total taxable income being in the United States. On July 1, 2002,
New Jersey approved legislation for corporation income tax reform. There were
several changes made to the law that will likely increase the Company's
effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2002.

         The order backlog of non-Hasler customer orders decreased by 16.4% at
the end of the second quarter of 2002 compared to year-end 2001 and by 19.6%
compared to the end of the second quarter in 2001, in each case at constant
foreign exchange rates. The decrease as compared to the end of 2001 was
primarily the result of lower orders received at our facility in Switzerland in
the first half of 2002, while the decrease as compared to the second quarter of
2001 was the result of lower orders received at our facilities in both
Switzerland and the United States, and also from the fact that the second
quarter 2001 numbers did not include orders received by PCS which was acquired
on November 30, 2001.

         Total debt decreased by $0.663 million in the first six months of 2002,
or by $1.46 million when adjusted to a constant foreign exchange rate, with U.S.
debt decreasing by $1.46 million. At June 29, 2002, we had $5.0 million of
unused borrowing availability under our U.S. revolving credit agreement and $1.8
million of unused borrowing availability under our foreign loan agreements. In
July 2002 the $5.0 million U.S. revolving credit agreement was extended through
July 2004.

         At June 29, 2002, working capital was $17.1 million compared to $15.6
million at December 29, 2001, and the ratio of current assets to current
liabilities at those dates was 2.11 and 2.18, respectively.

         In the first six months of 2002 and 2001, we utilized internally
generated funds to meet our working capital needs.

         Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.9 million in the first
six months of 2002 compared to $2.5 million in the same period of 2001. The
increase in operating cash flow during the first six months of 2002 compared to
the same period in 2001 was primarily due to a reduction in inventory and an
increase in accounts payable partially offset by an increase in prepaid
expenses, a smaller reduction in accounts receivable and lower amortization.

         Net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2002
and 2001 was primarily for capital additions.

         Cash used in financing activities in the first six months of 2002 was
primarily for debt reduction.

         Of the total increase in shareholders' equity of $3.7 million in the
first six months of 2002, $2.1 million was attributable to changes in foreign
exchange rates, particularly the strengthening of the Swiss franc and euro
compared to the U.S. dollar.
