HARSCO CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

Harsco Corporation (the “Company”) has prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements based on Securities and Exchange Commission rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) that are necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The December 31, 2010 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information contained in this Form 10-Q was derived from the 2010 audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for an annual report. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Segment information for prior periods has been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2010, the Harsco Minerals businesses, which were previously a component of an “All Other” Category, are reported with the Harsco Metals Segment to form the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment. This reflects the increasing operating synergies of these businesses within the Company’s global markets as well as the combined management of these businesses. The remaining businesses of the “All Other” Category are reported as the Harsco Industrial operating segment, which also reflects the combined management of these businesses. The “All Other” Category is no longer utilized.

The Company’s management has evaluated all activity of the Company and concluded that subsequent events are properly reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes as required by U.S. GAAP.

Operating results and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

2. Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The following accounting standards have been adopted in 2011:

On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued changes related to the accounting for revenue recognition when multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements are present. The changes eliminated the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. This method requires a vendor to use its best estimate of selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence of selling price exists when evaluating multiple deliverable arrangements. The adoption of these changes did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted FASB issued changes to disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The changes required a reporting entity to disclose, in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), separate information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). The adoption of these changes did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The following accounting standards have been issued and become effective for the Company at various future dates:

In May 2011, the FASB issued changes related to fair value measurement and disclosure. The changes are the result of convergence with International Financial Reporting Standards and relate to how to measure fair value and expand on existing disclosure requirements. These changes become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of these changes but does not believe that the changes will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In June 2011, the FASB issued changes related to the presentation of comprehensive income. The changes remove certain presentation options and require entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. There is no change to the items that are reported in other comprehensive income. The changes become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. Other than the sequencing of financial statements, management has determined these changes will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisitions

Certain of the Company’s acquisitions in prior years included contingent consideration features for which defined goals needed to be met by the acquired business in order for payment of the consideration. Each quarter until settlement of these contingencies, the Company assessed the likelihood that an acquired business would achieve the goals and the resulting fair value of the contingency. In accordance with accounting standards for business combinations, these adjustments were recognized in operating income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of the Other (income) expenses line item. The Company’s assessment of these performance goals resulted in the following reductions to previously recognized contingent consideration liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

	Three Months Ended June 30				Six Months Ended June 30
(In thousands)	2011		2010		2011		2010
Reduction of contingent consideration liabilities	$	—	$	1,367	$	3,966	$	9,631

All contingent consideration liabilities have been settled and there was no recorded contingent consideration liability as of June 30, 2011. The recorded contingent consideration liability was $3.9 million at December 31, 2010.

Dispositions - Assets Held-for-Sale

Throughout the past several years and in conjunction with the Fourth Quarter 2010 restructuring of the Harsco Infrastructure Segment, management approved the sale of certain long-lived assets throughout the Company’s operations. At December 31, 2010, assets held-for-sale of $24.8 million were recorded in Other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and represented the fair market value less the estimated cost to sell the assets related to two lines of business in the Harsco Infrastructure Segment. In June 2011, the Company sold these two lines of business and realized a gain of $0.9 million in operating income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of Other (income) expenses. At June 30, 2011, the Company had $0.6 million of assets held-for-sale recorded in Other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

4. Accounts Receivable and Inventories

Accounts receivable consist of the following:

	Accounts Receivable
(In thousands)	June 30 2011			December 31 2010

The Company determined that as of June 30, 2011, no interim goodwill impairment testing was necessary. The Company’s annual goodwill impairment testing will be completed during the fourth quarter of 2011. There can be no assurance that goodwill impairment testing will not result in a charge to earnings. Should the Company experience a further degradation in the overall markets served by the Harsco Infrastructure Segment, impairment losses for assets associated with this segment may be required. Any necessary impairment could result in the write down of the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value.

8. Income Taxes

Income tax expense from continuing operations increased primarily due to higher earnings from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. The effective income tax rate related to continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was 25.4% and 25.3%, respectively. The effective income tax rate related to continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was 27.3% and 26.6%, respectively. The effective income tax rate decreased primarily due to the recognition of income tax benefits from the expiration of the statutes of limitations for uncertain tax positions in certain jurisdictions.

An income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on technical merits. The unrecognized income tax benefit at June 30, 2011 was $52.3 million including interest and penalties. Within the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that up to $11.2 million of such amount will be recognized upon settlement of tax examinations and the expiration of various statutes of limitations.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental

The Company is involved in a number of environmental remediation investigations and cleanups and, along with other companies, has been identified as a “potentially responsible party” for certain waste disposal sites. While each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, it is probable that the Company will agree to make payments toward funding certain of these activities and it is possible that some of these matters will be decided unfavorably to the Company. The Company has evaluated its potential liability, and its financial exposure is dependent upon such factors as the continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements, the availability and application of technology, the allocation of cost among potentially responsible parties, the years of remedial activity required and the remediation methods selected. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 include accruals in Other current liabilities of $2.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively, for environmental matters. The amounts charged against pre-tax income related to environmental matters totaled $0.6 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The amounts charged against pre-tax income related to environmental matters totaled $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

In December 2010, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) issued a Notice of Violation in connection with the Warren, Ohio site of the Company’s Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment. The EPA and the Company entered into negotiations to settle this matter and have agreed on a penalty of $154,000. The penalty includes the funding of a voluntary supplemental environmental project (“SEP”) in the Warren, Ohio area.

The Company evaluates its liability for future environmental remediation costs on a quarterly basis. Actual costs to be incurred at identified sites in future periods may vary from the estimates, given inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental exposures. The Company does not expect that any sum it may have to pay in connection with environmental matters in excess of the amounts recorded or disclosed above would have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Gas Technologies Divestiture

In November 2009, Taylor-Wharton International (“TWI”), the purchaser of the Company’s Gas Technologies business, filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As part of its filing, TWI filed a motion to reject certain executory contracts, including the parties’ Asset and Stock Purchase Agreement dated at December 7, 2007 (the “ASPA”). In May and June 2010, the bankruptcy court entered orders confirming TWI’s plan of reorganization and approving TWI’s rejection of certain executory contracts, including the ASPA. On June 15, 2010, the reorganized TWI emerged from bankruptcy. On August 23, 2010, TWI commenced an adversary proceeding against the Company and certain third party tort plaintiffs in the Bankruptcy Court seeking an order declaring that the rejection order excuses TWI’s contractual assumption of the assumed liabilities. On November 23, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court issued an opinion and entered an order granting the Company’s motion to dismiss and holding that TWI’s assumption of certain assumed liabilities was not rejected during the bankruptcy. On February 8, 2011, TWI, the Company and certain insurers reached a settlement regarding these matters, the terms of which are confidential.

The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $5.0 million in 2010 related to potential and contingent third party tort claims and this charge was recorded in Loss on disposal of discontinued business. The Company believes at this time that sufficient coverage for claims relating to these matters exists, both as a result of the settlement and as a result of

Table of Contents

established reserves. Claims are inherently uncertain and, as a result, potential claims could be resolved at an amount significantly above the amount recorded.

Value-Added and Service Tax Disputes

The Company is involved in a number of tax disputes with federal, state and municipal tax authorities in Brazil. These disputes are at various stages of the legal process, including the administrative review phase and the collection action phase, and include assessments of fixed amounts of principal and penalties, plus interest charges that increase at statutorily determined amounts per month and are assessed on the aggregate amount of the principal and penalties. In addition, the losing party at the collection action or court appeals phase could be subject to a charge to cover statutorily mandated legal fees, which are generally calculated as a percentage of the total assessed amounts due, inclusive of penalty and interest. A large number of the claims relate to value-added (“ICMS”) and services (“ISS”) tax disputes, and the largest proportion of the assessed amounts relate to ICMS claims filed by the State Revenue Authorities from the State of São Paulo, Brazil (the “SPRA”), encompassing the period from January 2002 to May 2005.

In October 2009, the Company received notification of the SPRA’s final administrative decision regarding the levying of ICMS in the State of São Paulo in relation to services provided to a customer in the State between January 2004 and May 2005. As of June 30, 2011, the principal amount of the tax assessment from the SPRA with regard to this case is approximately $4 million, with penalty, interest and fees assessed to date increasing such amount by an additional $31 million. All such amounts include the effect of foreign currency translation. The increase in such aggregate amount since the Company’s last Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-Q is due primarily to an increase in the assessed interest and statutorily mandated legal fees.

The second major ICMS tax case involving the SPRA refers to the tax period from January 2002 to December 2003, and is still pending at the administrative phase, where the aggregate amount assessed by the tax authorities in August 2005 was $16 million (the amounts with regard to this claim are valued as of the date of the assessment since it has not yet reached the collection phase), comprised of a principal amount of approximately $4 million, with penalty and interest assessed through that date increasing such amount by an additional $12 million. All such amounts include the effect of foreign currency translation.

The Company continues to believe that it is not probable it will incur a loss for these assessments by the SPRA and continues to believe that sufficient coverage for these claims exists as a result of the Company’s customer’s indemnification obligations and such customer’s pledge of assets in connection with the October 2009 notice, as required by Brazilian procedure. The Company intends to continue its practice of vigorously defending itself against these claims under various alternatives, including judicial appeal. The Company will continue to evaluate its potential liability with regard to these claims on a quarterly basis; however, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of the SPRA and other tax-related disputes in Brazil.

Other

The Company has been named as one of many defendants (approximately 90 or more in most cases) in legal actions alleging personal injury from exposure to airborne asbestos over the past several decades. In their suits, the plaintiffs have named as defendants, among others, many manufacturers, distributors and installers of numerous types of equipment or products that allegedly contained asbestos.

The Company believes that the claims against it are without merit. The Company has never been a producer, manufacturer or processor of asbestos fibers. Any component within a Company product that may have contained asbestos would have been purchased from a supplier. Based on scientific and medical evidence, the Company believes that any asbestos exposure arising from normal use of any Company product never presented any harmful levels of airborne asbestos exposure, and moreover, the type of asbestos contained in any component that was used in those products was protectively encapsulated in other materials and is not associated with the types of injuries alleged in the pending suits. Finally, in most of the depositions taken of plaintiffs to date in the litigation against the Company, plaintiffs have failed to specifically identify any Company products as the source of their asbestos exposure.

The majority of the asbestos complaints pending against the Company have been filed in New York. Almost all of the New York complaints contain a standard claim for damages of $20 million or $25 million against the approximately 90 defendants, regardless of the individual plaintiff’s alleged medical condition, and without specifically identifying any Company product as the source of plaintiff’s asbestos exposure.

At June 30, 2011, there are 19,212 pending asbestos personal injury claims filed against the Company. Of these cases, 18,720 are pending in the New York Supreme Court for New York County in New York State. The other claims, totaling 492, are filed in various counties in a number of state courts, and in certain Federal District Courts (including New York),

Table of Contents

and those complaints generally assert lesser amounts of damages than the New York State court cases or do not state any amount claimed.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company has obtained dismissal by stipulation, or summary judgment prior to trial, in 25,461 cases.

In view of the persistence of asbestos litigation nationwide, the Company expects to continue to receive additional claims. However, there have been developments during the past several years, both by certain state legislatures and by certain state courts, which could favorably affect the Company’s ability to defend these asbestos claims in those jurisdictions. These developments include procedural changes, docketing changes, proof of damage requirements and other changes that require plaintiffs to follow specific procedures in bringing their claims and to show proof of damages before they can proceed with their claim. An example is the action taken by the New York Supreme Court (a trial court), which is responsible for managing all asbestos cases pending within New York County in the State of New York. This Court issued an order in December 2002 that created a Deferred or Inactive Docket for all pending and future asbestos claims filed by plaintiffs who cannot demonstrate that they have a malignant condition or discernable physical impairment, and an Active or In Extremis Docket for plaintiffs who are able to show such medical condition. As a result of this order, the majority of the asbestos cases filed against the Company in New York County have been moved to the Inactive Docket until such time as the plaintiffs can show that they have incurred a physical impairment. At June 30, 2011, the Company has been listed as a defendant in 1,056 Active or In Extremis asbestos cases in New York County. The Court’s Order has been challenged by plaintiffs.

Except with regard to the legal costs in a few limited, exceptional cases, the Company’s insurance carrier has paid all legal and settlement costs and expenses to date. The Company has liability insurance coverage under various primary and excess policies that the Company believes will be available, if necessary, to substantially cover any liability that might ultimately be incurred on these claims.

The Company intends to continue its practice of vigorously defending these cases as they are listed for trial. It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of asbestos-related lawsuits, claims and proceedings due to the unpredictable nature of personal injury litigation. Despite this uncertainty, and although results of operations and cash flows for a given period could be adversely affected by asbestos-related lawsuits, claims and proceedings, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these cases will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is subject to various other claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arose in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, all such matters are adequately covered by insurance or by established reserves, and if not so covered, are without merit or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, as would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Insurance liabilities are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred for a particular event and the amount of loss associated with the event can be reasonably estimated. Insurance reserves have been estimated based primarily upon actuarial calculations and reflect the undiscounted estimated liabilities for ultimate losses including claims incurred but not reported. Inherent in these estimates are assumptions that are based on the Company’s history of claims and losses, a detailed analysis of existing claims with respect to potential value, and current legal and legislative trends. If actual claims differ from those projected by management, changes (either increases or decreases) to insurance reserves may be required and would be recorded through income in the period the change was determined. When a recognized liability is covered by third-party insurance, the Company records an insurance claim receivable to reflect the covered liability. Insurance claim receivables are included in Other receivables in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for additional information on Accrued Insurance and Loss Reserves.

11. Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value

The Company uses derivative instruments, including foreign currency forward exchange contracts, commodity contracts and cross-currency interest rate swaps, to manage certain foreign currency, commodity price and interest rate exposures. Derivative instruments are viewed as risk management tools by the Company and are not used for trading or speculative purposes.

All derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives used to hedge foreign-currency-denominated balance sheet items are reported directly in earnings along with offsetting transaction gains and losses on the items being hedged. Derivatives used to hedge forecasted cash flows associated with foreign currency commitments or forecasted commodity purchases may be accounted for as cash flow hedges, as deemed appropriate and if the criteria for hedge accounting are met. Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are deferred as a separate component of equity and reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the timing of the earnings impact of the hedged transactions. Generally, at June 30, 2011, these deferred gains and losses relate to foreign currency commitments and will be reclassified to earnings over 10 to 15 years from the balance sheet date. The ineffective portion of all hedges, if any, is recognized currently in earnings.

Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts

The Company conducts business in multiple currencies and, accordingly, is subject to the inherent risks associated with foreign exchange rate movements. The financial position and results of operations of substantially all of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Foreign currency-denominated

Table of Contents

assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates, and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates during the respective periods. The aggregate effects of translating the balance sheets of these subsidiaries are deferred and recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss or income, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge cash flows related to foreign currency fluctuations. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $228.9 million and $214.2 million of contracted amounts, respectively, of foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding. These contracts are part of a worldwide program to minimize foreign currency exchange-related operating income and balance sheet exposure by offsetting foreign currency exposures of certain future payments between the Company and its various subsidiaries, vendors or customers. The unsecured contracts outstanding at June 30, 2011 mature at various times within six months and are with major financial institutions. The Company may be exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the contract counterparties. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of the counterparties and does not expect default by them. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts are used to hedge commitments, such as foreign currency debt, firm purchase commitments and foreign currency cash flows for certain export sales transactions.

The following tables summarize, by major currency, the contractual amounts of the Company’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts in U.S. dollars at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The “Buy” amounts represent the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to purchase foreign currencies, and the “Sell” amounts represent the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to sell foreign currencies. The recognized gains and losses offset amounts recognized in cost of services and products sold principally as a result of intercompany or third party foreign currency exposures.

In addition to foreign currency forward exchange contracts, the Company designates certain loans as hedges of net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company recorded pre-tax net losses of $2.3 million and $9.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and pre-tax net losses of $32.8 million and $52.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, into Accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swaps

The Company uses cross-currency interest rate swaps in conjunction with certain debt issuances in order to secure a fixed local currency interest rate. Under these cross-currency interest rate swaps, the Company receives interest based on a fixed or floating U.S. dollar rate and pays interest on a fixed local currency rate based on the contractual amounts in dollars and the local currency, respectively. The cross-currency interest rate swaps are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, with changes in value attributed to the effect of the swaps’ interest spread recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is a separate component of equity. Changes in value attributed to the effect of foreign currency fluctuations are recorded in the income statement and offset currency fluctuation effects on the debt principal.

Fair Value of Derivative Assets and Liabilities and Other Financial Instruments

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that the Company believes market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique.

The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

· Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

· Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

· Level 3—Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

In instances in which multiple levels of inputs are used to measure fair value, hierarchy classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The following table indicates the different financial instruments of the Company at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances for liabilities measured on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three and six months ended June 30:

Balance at end of period	$	—	$	4,094		$	—		$	4,094

The Company primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavors to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs, such as forward rates, interest rates, the Company’s credit risk and counterparties’ credit risks, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company is able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. Commodity derivatives, foreign currency forward exchange contracts and cross-currency interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2 fair value based upon pricing models using market-based inputs. Model inputs can be verified, and valuation techniques do not involve significant management judgment.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the total fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, was $924.4 million and $905.0 million, respectively, compared to carrying value of $859.0 million and $853.7 million, respectively. Fair values for debt are based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.

14. Restructuring Programs

Fourth Quarter 2010 Harsco Infrastructure Program

On December 8, 2010, the Company approved a restructuring plan for the Harsco Infrastructure Segment (the “Fourth Quarter 2010 Harsco Infrastructure Program”). This restructuring initiative was in response to global economic and financial conditions that were adversely affecting this segment’s end markets. These conditions included such factors as the following:

· a continued lack of meaningful commercial and multi-family construction activity in various regions of the world served by the Harsco Infrastructure Segment;

· pricing pressures as customers worldwide continued to seek lower cost solutions; and

· postponements, deferrals and cancellation of jobs and projects.

This restructuring initiative is part of an ongoing transformation strategy within the Harsco Infrastructure Segment to improve organizational efficiency and enhance profitability and stockholder value. The strategy includes optimizing the segment as a more streamlined, efficient, cost-effective, disciplined and market-focused global platform. Objectives of the program include balancing short-term profitability goals with long-term strategies to establish a platform upon which the business can grow with limited fixed investment and generate annual operating expense savings to strengthen 2011 and future performance. Under this restructuring program, the Harsco Infrastructure Segment further reduced its branch structure; consolidated and/or closed administrative office locations; further reduced its global workforce; and rationalized its product lines.

At June 30, 2011, the Company had completed workforce reductions of 429 employees of a total expected workforce reduction of 494 employees. The remaining workforce reductions and exit activities are targeted for completion during the remainder of 2011.

Total	$	30,800	$	326		$	(14,586	)	$	738	$	17,278

(a) Adjustments to previously recorded restructuring charges resulted from changes in facts and circumstances in the implementation of these activities as well as the timing of additional expenses recognized under U.S. GAAP.

The majority of the remaining cash expenditures of $17.3 million related to these actions are expected to be paid throughout 2011 and 2012.

Prior Restructuring Programs

The Company implemented other actions throughout 2010 to further reduce its cost structure and close certain facilities as a result of the continued financial and economic downturn. These actions were in addition to the Fourth Quarter 2010 Harsco Infrastructure Program, which is described above. Through June 30, 2011, the Company had completed all workforce reductions related to these actions of 249 employees for the Harsco Infrastructure Segment; and reductions of 83 employees of a total expected workforce reduction of 242 employees for the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment. Remaining workforce reductions and costs to exit activities are targeted for substantial completion during the remainder of 2011.

The restructuring accrual for the previous restructuring programs at June 30, 2011 and the activity for the six months then ended are as follows:

(In thousands)	Accrual December 31 2010		Adjustments to Previously Recorded Restructuring Charges (a)			Cash Expenditures			Foreign Currency Translation		Remaining Accrual June 30 2011

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as well as the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which includes additional information about the Company’s critical accounting policies, contractual obligations, practices and the transactions that support the financial results, and provides a more comprehensive summary of the Company’s outlook, trends and strategies for 2011 and beyond.

Throughout this discussion, segment information for prior periods has been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2010, the Harsco Minerals businesses, which were previously a component of an “All Other” Category, are reported with the Harsco Metals Segment to form the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment. This reflects the increasing operating synergies of these businesses within the Company’s global markets as well as the combined management of these businesses. The remaining businesses of the “All Other” Category are reported as the Harsco Industrial operating segment, which also reflects the combined management of these businesses. The “All Other” Category is no longer utilized.

Executive Overview

Revenues for the Company during the second quarter of 2011 were $875.1 million compared with $786.5 million in the second quarter of 2010. Foreign currency translation increased revenues by $61.8 million for the second quarter of 2011 in comparison with the second quarter of 2010. The Company generated higher revenues in the second quarter of 2011 in the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment due to increased customer steel production and in the Harsco Industrial Segment due to increased demand. These increases were partially offset by the timing of shipments within the Harsco Rail Segment, while business activity in the Harsco Infrastructure Segment remained stable.

Operating income from continuing operations for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 was $64.4 million and $93.5 million, respectively, compared with $61.9 million and $90.1 million for the same periods in 2010. The increase in operating income for the first half of 2011 was driven by stabilizing market conditions in the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment and the Harsco Industrial Segment. Additionally, the Harsco Infrastructure Segment continued to realize cost savings benefits from restructuring initiatives implemented in the fourth quarter of 2010. Offsetting these increases in operating income was the impact of the timing of shipments in the Harsco Rail Segment. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2011 were $0.47 compared with $0.40 for the second quarter of 2010. For the first half of 2011, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.62 compared with $0.50 in the first six months of 2010.

The Company continues to have significant available liquidity and remains well-positioned from a financial flexibility perspective. For the first half of 2011, the Company generated net cash from operating activities of $66.9 million compared with $125.7 million for the first half of 2010. Capital expenditures in the first six months of 2011 were higher than in the first six months of 2010. However, cash proceeds from asset sales totaled $33.4 million in the first six months of 2011 compared with $16.3 million in the first six months of 2010. Balance sheet debt increased slightly from December 31, 2010 and the Company’s debt to capital ratio increased from 37.6% at December 31, 2010 (the lowest ratio in the last twelve years) to 38.0% at June 30, 2011. The Company’s debt to total capital ratio was 40.0% at June 30, 2010. See Liquidity and Capital Resources under Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Operating Results” for further discussion of cash flows.

Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment:

The Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment generated higher revenues and operating income in the first half of 2011 compared with 2010 due principally to the increased global steel production of its customers and the overall weaker U.S. dollar.

Significant Effects on Revenues (In millions)	Three Months Ended June 30		Six Months Ended June 30
Revenues — 2010	$	376.2	$	720.5
Net increased price and volume	13.2		48.3
Impact of foreign currency translation	34.4		46.7
Revenues — 2011	$	423.8	$	815.5

Significant Effects on Operating Income:

· An overall increase in global steel production which is expected to remain stable for the remainder of 2011. Customers’ production increased approximately 6% compared with the first half of 2010.

· Continued positive effects of cost control and business transformation initiatives.

· Strong performance of the on-site services to metal producers during the second quarter.

· Negative impact due to reduced commodity prices in the minerals and recycling technologies product group.

· Net restructuring expense, which includes property gains, costs for exit activities and termination benefits and other items, increased $2.3 million from the second quarter of 2010 and $3.0 million from the first half of 2010.

· Foreign currency translation in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 increased operating income for this segment by $3.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively, compared with the second quarter and first six months of 2010.

Table of Contents

Harsco Infrastructure Segment:

The Harsco Infrastructure Segment generated higher revenues and a smaller operating loss in the second quarter and first half of 2011 compared with 2010 primarily due to cost savings from restructuring initiatives implemented in 2010 and the overall weaker U.S. dollar.

Significant Effects on Revenues (In millions)	Three Months Ended June 30		Six Months Ended June 30
Revenues — 2010	$	262.7	$	513.3
Net increased price and volume	9.9		15.5
Impact of foreign currency translation	25.7		31.1
Revenues — 2011	$	298.3	$	559.9

Significant Effects on Operating Income:

· In the second quarter and first half of 2011, this segment’s operating results improved due to the realization of forecasted cost savings resulting from restructuring initiatives implemented in the fourth quarter of 2010.

· Rental rates were down compared to second quarter 2010 and the first half 2010, but operating income from rentals increased due to improved equipment utilization, principally in Eastern Europe, France and Scandinavia. That increase was offset by lower margins on equipment sales and erection and dismantling services, principally in Europe.

· Results for the second quarter of 2011 and first half of 2011 include a $0.9 million gain related to the sale of two lines of business (see Note 3, “Acquisitions and Dispositions,” in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements).

Harsco Rail Segment:

The Harsco Rail Segment generated lower revenues, operating income and margins in the first half of 2011 compared with 2010 due principally to the timing of unit deliveries.

Net decreased volume	(9.8		)	(43.2		)
Impact of foreign currency translation	1.4			2.0
Revenues — 2011	$	77.9		$	140.5

Significant Impacts on Operating Income:

· As expected, this segment’s operating income for the first half of 2011 was lower than the first half of 2010 due principally to the timing of shipments of rail equipment. Shipments for the first half of 2011 were expected to be less than prior year due to the scheduled timing of deliveries. The majority of rail equipment shipments for 2011 are expected to occur in the third and fourth quarter, principally in the fourth quarter. Conversely, in 2010 the majority of rail equipment shipments occurred in the first half of the year.

· Operating income was positively impacted in the second quarter of 2011 due to a change in estimated costs related to the first phase of the China Ministry of Railways equipment order. This change in estimated costs resulted in a total of $8 million in lower costs which were recognized in the second quarter as a reduction of cost of goods sold. The Company does not anticipate any further significant changes in estimated costs as the first phase of the China Ministry of Railways equipment order is now completed.

Harsco Industrial Segment:

The Harsco Industrial Segment generated higher revenues in the second quarter and first half of 2011 compared with 2010. The segment generated lower operating income in the second quarter 2011 compared with 2010 and higher operating income in the first half of 2011 compared with the first half of 2010. The increase in revenues was primarily due to increased market demand for industrial products across all businesses.

Significant Effects on Operating Income:

· Increased demand across all Harsco Industrial businesses improved operating income for the second quarter and first half of 2011.

· Operating income was negatively impacted by higher inventory costs, higher commodity prices and product mix.

Outlook, Trends and Strategies

Despite the still-fragile U.S. economy and continued uncertainties throughout several major global economies, particularly in non-residential construction markets in the U.K. and certain Western European countries, the Company believes it is well-positioned to capitalize on opportunities in the near to long-term based on its strong market positions in all its businesses, a strong balance sheet, available liquidity and ability to generate strong operating cash flows, as well as its demonstrated ability to execute appropriate countermeasures. Countermeasures such as ongoing cost-reduction initiatives; the Company’s OneHarsco initiative; and the Company’s continuous improvement program have significantly reduced, and should continue to reduce, the Company’s cost structure and further enhance its financial strength without sacrificing its solution-based services and products. The Company’s expansion of its global footprint in targeted growth markets; its diversity of services and products in industries that are fundamental to global growth; its long-term mill services and minerals supply contracts; the portability and mobility of its Harsco Infrastructure services equipment; and its large Harsco Infrastructure services customer base help mitigate the Company’s overall long-term exposure to changes in the economic outlook in any single economy. However, any further deterioration of global economies could still have an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In addition to the items noted in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, the following significant items, risks, trends and strategies are expected to affect the Company for the remainder of 2011 and beyond:

· The Company will continue to place a strong focus on corporate-wide expansion into targeted emerging markets to grow and improve the balance of its geographic footprint. More specifically, the Company’s global growth strategies include steady, targeted expansion, particularly in the Gulf Region of the Middle East and Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America to further complement the Company’s already-strong presence throughout Europe and North America. Growth is also expected to be achieved through the provision of additional services to existing customers; new contracts in both developed and targeted growth markets; and targeted joint ventures and partnerships in strategic countries and market sectors. This strategy is expected to result in approximately 35% of revenue from emerging markets by 2015. This growth will come both organically and through targeted joint venture investments. Over time, a balanced geographic footprint should also benefit the Company through further diversification of its customer base.

· Management will continue to be very selective and disciplined in allocating capital, choosing projects with the highest EVA potential and return on capital employed.

· The Company announced in 2010 that it has embarked upon a business transformation strategy as part of its OneHarsco initiative, which is designed to create significant operating and cost efficiencies by improving the Company’s supply chain costs, logistics, scheduling and integration throughout its worldwide operations. This project is expected to contribute to the Company’s EVA growth but could result in near-term cost increases and capital expenditures.

· The Company has maintained a capital structure with a balance sheet debt to capital ratio approximating 40% for the last several years. That ratio was 38.0% at June 30, 2011 primarily due to prudent cash management. This will

Table of Contents

provide financial flexibility for investing in strategic initiatives, including joint ventures and capital outlays, particularly for growth initiatives. However, such future spending may require short-term borrowing.

· A majority of the Company’s revenue is currently generated from customers located outside of the United States, and a substantial portion of the Company’s assets and employees are also located outside of the United States. United States’ income tax and foreign withholding taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings for certain non-U.S. subsidiaries as the Company considers such earnings as indefinitely reinvested in the operations of those subsidiaries. The Executive Branch of the U.S. Government (the “Administration”) has indicated that future tax reform may be structured with more of the business community’s concerns in mind; however, the Administration has provided no indication that intended reform will be any more favorable to U.S. multi-national corporations with earnings indefinitely reinvested abroad. Any tax reform that reduces the Company’s ability to defer U.S. taxes on earnings indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States could have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to compete in the global marketplace.

· Fluctuations in the U.S. dollar can have significant effects in the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment and Harsco Infrastructure Segment, as approximately 80% of the revenues generated in these segments are outside the United States. If the U.S. dollar weakens, sales and operating income would generally improve. If the U.S. dollar strengthens, sales and operating income would generally be lower.

· Volatility in energy and commodity costs (e.g., diesel fuel, natural gas, steel, etc.) and worldwide demand for these commodities could impact the Company’s operations, both in cost increases or decreases to the extent that such increases or decreases are not passed on to customers. However, volatility in energy and commodity costs may provide additional service opportunities for the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment as customers may outsource more services to reduce overall costs. Volatility may also affect opportunities in the Harsco Infrastructure Segment for additional plant maintenance and capital improvement projects and in the Harsco Industrial Segment for natural gas projects.

· The Company may be required to record future impairment charges to the extent it cannot generate future cash flows at a level sufficient to recover the net book value of a reporting unit. As part of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment testing, estimates of fair value are based on assumptions regarding future operating cash flows and growth rates of each reporting unit, discount rates applied to these cash flows and current market estimates of value. Based on the uncertainty of future growth rates and other assumptions used to estimate goodwill recoverability, future reductions in a reporting unit’s cash flows could cause a material non-cash impairment charge of goodwill, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment:

· The long-term outlook for this segment remains favorable. This segment foresees further new contract signings in the second half of 2011 and a continuation of strong bidding activity long-term. Looking ahead specifically to the second half of 2011, the Company expects lower stainless steel scrap pricing to negatively affect the minerals and recycling technologies product group but this should be more than offset by continued favorable performance in the on-site services to metal producers. Overall this segment is expected to show year over year improvement for the second half of 2011.

· The new 25-year environmental solutions contract for onsite metal recovery in China that was awarded in July 2011 to the Company’s previously-announced joint venture company with Taiyuan Iron & Steel (Group) Co., Ltd. (TISCO) will effectively address the environmentally beneficial processing and metal recovery of TISCO’s stainless and carbon steel slag production by-products across a range of potential commercial applications. The Company anticipates that the joint venture has the potential to generate new revenues of an estimated $30 million per year initially, ramping up to a projected run rate of approximately $50 million to $60 million per year when fully operational. The Company and TISCO will respectively share a 60%-40% relationship in the partnership and the Company will consolidate the financial statements of the joint venture.

· The Company anticipates that tightening environmental regulations will compel customers to address their production waste streams as an opportunity to maximize environmental compliance. This should provide additional revenue opportunities for the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment. The Company will continue to pursue growth opportunities in environmental services as increasing regulatory and public demand for environmental solutions creates additional outsourced opportunities in slag management.

· The industrial abrasives and roofing granules business within the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment generates value by collecting and processing boiler slag, a coal combustion by-product (“CCP”) into commercially useful products that put this material to beneficial use in products such as roofing materials and blasting abrasives. In May 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) released a proposed rule that set out two different options with regard to the regulation of CCPs produced by coal-fired utility boilers. One option would regulate CCPs as hazardous waste when the CCPs are destined for disposal in landfills and surface impoundments. The second option would regulate the disposal of CCPs as solid waste by issuing minimum national criteria for proper management of these nonhazardous, solid wastes. Neither proposal changes the EPA’s prior determination that beneficially used CCPs, including the

Table of Contents

Company’s products, are exempt from the hazardous waste regulations. The adoption, terms and timing of any new regulation controlling disposal of CCPs remain uncertain and there can be no assurance that any CCP regulation will continue to provide for an exemption for beneficial use of CCPs. The Company will continue to closely monitor the EPA’s proposal.

Harsco Infrastructure Segment:

· As expected, this segment is beginning to realize the anticipated savings resulting from the successful implementation of the major restructuring plan announced at the end of 2010. The Company continues to expect such savings will approximate $40 million in 2011, with full annualized savings of $60 million starting in 2012. While average rental rates and utilization rates have stabilized in recent quarters, uncertainties remain in key end markets, particularly in the United Kingdom, several other European countries and, to a lesser degree, the United States.

· The outlook for this segment continues to be underpinned by the expected restructuring savings. This segment should continue to show sequential improvement from the second quarter of 2011 but is still expected to post operating losses in the third and fourth quarters. Longer-term, the full annualized cost savings of approximately $60 million starting next year is expected to position the business to achieve break-even or better in 2012.

· The Company has initiated strategies to reposition the Harsco Infrastructure Segment and is focusing increasingly on projects in the global industrial maintenance and civil infrastructure construction sectors, and further developing this business in economies outside the United States and Western Europe that have greater prospects for both near-term and long-term growth. The segment is shifting from small, essentially independent branches that serve smaller projects to an integrated business with resources able to focus on larger projects that will have a longer duration and which require highly engineered solutions. Local focus on the customer will continue, but customer service will improve through coordinated asset management, sales effectiveness and operational excellence.

Harsco Rail Segment:

· The outlook for this segment continues to be favorable and results in the second half of 2011 should exceed last year’s second half. However, this year’s second half results are expected to be impacted by the timing of a major machine sale to China which had been expected to be delivered late in the fourth quarter of 2011, but is now expected to be delivered early in the first quarter of 2012. The near and long-term outlook for the Harsco Rail Segment remains favorable. The global demand for railway maintenance-of-way equipment, parts and services continues to be strong. Additionally, the Class I railroads in the United States continue to report improved earnings and increased freight shipments, which could possibly lead to further opportunities for the Rail business going into 2012.

· International demand for Harsco Rail’s track maintenance services, solutions and equipment has been strong as reflected in global bidding activity. This is expected to continue in the long-term. The Harsco Rail Segment expects to develop a larger presence in certain developing countries as track construction and maintenance needs grow. Additionally, new service and sales opportunities, along with strategic acquisitions and/or joint ventures in the Harsco Rail Segment, will be considered if the appropriate strategic opportunities arise.

Harsco Industrial Segment:

· The outlook for this segment continues to be favorable as the business expands across the globe. Bidding activity is very strong. The second half 2011 performance is expected to slightly improve over last year’s comparable period.

· The Company has implemented strategies to help mitigate the potential impact that increases in steel and other commodity prices could have on operating income. If steel or other commodity costs associated with the Company’s manufactured products increase and the costs cannot be passed on to the Company’s customers, operating income would be adversely affected. Conversely, reduced steel and other commodity costs would improve operating income to the extent such savings do not have to be transferred to customers.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, restructuring costs were incurred principally in the Harsco Metals & Minerals and Harsco Infrastructure Segments. Net gains from sale of non-core assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 included a $0.9 million gain from the sale of two lines of business within the Harsco Infrastructure Segment. Contingent consideration adjustments of $4.0 million and $9.6 million were recognized in the Harsco Infrastructure Segment during the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $2.8 million and $6.9 million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared with 2010. The decrease compared with 2010 was primarily due to an October 2010 debt refinancing which resulted in a significantly lower interest rate than the prior debt, partially offset by incremental interest expense related to higher commercial paper levels during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Income Tax Expense from Continuing Operations

The increase in expense for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the same periods in 2010 was due to higher earnings from continuing operations. The effective income tax rate relating to continuing operations for the second quarter of 2011 was 25.4% versus 27.3% for the second quarter of 2010. The effective income tax rate related to continuing operations for the first six months of 2011 was 25.3% versus 26.6% for the first six months of 2010. The effective income tax rate decreased primarily due to the recognition of income tax benefits from the expiration of the statutes of limitations for uncertain tax positions in certain jurisdictions.

Table of Contents

Income from Continuing Operations

Increases in income from continuing operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 compared with the same periods in 2010 resulted from net higher volumes in the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment, due principally to increased steel production by the Company’s customers, and net increased volumes in the Harsco Infrastructure and the Harsco Industrial Segments; partially offset by an overall lower level of rail equipment shipments in 2011 in the Harsco Rail Segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The Company continues to have sufficient available liquidity and has been able to obtain all necessary financing. The Company currently expects operational and business needs to be covered by cash from operations and sales of non-core assets for the remainder of 2011, although borrowings may be made from time to time due to historical patterns of seasonal cash flow and for the funding of various projects.

The Company continues to implement and perform on capital efficiency initiatives to enhance liquidity. These initiatives have included prudent reduction of capital spending to projects where the highest returns can be achieved while redeploying existing capital investments; optimization of worldwide cash positions; reductions in discretionary spending; and frequent evaluation of customer and business-partner credit risk. These initiatives have been successful in helping counteract strained global financial markets. While global financial markets have improved for certain highly rated credit issuers, the stresses the markets have been under since 2008 are still reflected in tightened credit conditions for the funding of non-residential construction projects, particularly commercial construction. These tightened credit conditions, along with the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and the Middle East and economic austerity measures implemented in the United Kingdom, have restrained growth in the Harsco Infrastructure Segment. These unfavorable conditions in the credit markets also continue to affect some of the Company’s current and potential customers.

During the first half of 2011, the Company generated $66.9 million in operating cash flow, a decrease from the $125.7 million generated in the first half of 2010. Approximately $15 million of cash was disbursed in the first half of 2011 for restructuring costs associated with the Fourth Quarter 2010 Harsco Infrastructure Program. This included approximately $11 million of cash for charges that were accrued at December 31, 2010 and approximately $4 million of program charges that were incurred in 2011 due to timing of recognition under U.S. GAAP. The Company estimates that additional net cash of approximately $8 million will be disbursed for the program during the remainder of 2011. In the first half of 2011, the Company invested $166.9 million in capital expenditures (approximately 46% of which were for revenue-growth projects), compared with $74.6 million invested in the first half of 2010. The Company paid $33.0 million in stockholder dividends in the first six months of 2011 and 2010.

The Company’s net cash borrowings increased by $62.1 million in the first half of 2011 to fund capital expenditures and reflected seasonal cash fluctuations for the Company. The Company’s debt to total capital ratio increased slightly to 38.0% at June 30, 2011 from 37.6% at December 31, 2010, which was the lowest debt to total capital ratio in at least twelve years. The Company’s debt to total capital ratio was 40.0% at June 30, 2010.

Despite the difficult end markets for the Harsco Infrastructure Segment, the Company expects to continue to generate strong operating cash flows in the near and long term. The Company plans to sustain its balanced portfolio through its strategy of redeploying discretionary cash for disciplined organic growth and international or market-segment diversification; for potential strategic joint ventures and partnerships; for growth in long-term, high-return and high-renewal-rate services contracts for the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment, principally in targeted growth markets or for customer diversification; and for strategic investments or possible acquisitions. The Company also foresees continuing its long and consistent history of paying dividends to stockholders.

The Company continues its focus on improving working capital efficiency. Globally integrated enterprise initiatives, such as OneHarsco, are being used to continue to further improve the effective and efficient use of working capital, particularly accounts receivable and inventories in the Harsco Infrastructure Segment, Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment and the Harsco Rail Segment.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash from operations and borrowings under its various credit agreements, augmented periodically by cash proceeds from non-core asset and business sales. The primary drivers of the Company’s cash flow from operations are the Company’s revenues and income. The Company’s long-term Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment’s contracts, in addition to the backlog of certain equipment orders and the long-term nature of certain service contracts within the Harsco Rail Segment, provide predictable cash flows for the near-term years. Cash returns on capital investments made in prior years, for which no cash is currently required, are a significant source of cash

from operations. Depreciation expense related to these investments is a non-cash charge. The Company also continues to maintain working capital at a manageable level based upon the requirements and seasonality of the businesses.

Major uses of operating cash flows and borrowed funds include: capital investments, principally in the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment; payroll costs and related benefits; dividend payments; pension funding payments; inventory purchases for the Harsco Rail Segment and the Harsco Industrial Segment; income tax payments; debt principal and interest payments; insurance premiums and payments of self-insured casualty losses; and machinery, equipment, automobile and facility lease payments. Cash is also used for targeted, strategic acquisitions as appropriate opportunities arise.

Resources available for cash requirements — The Company meets its ongoing cash requirements for operations and growth initiatives by utilizing cash from operations; by accessing the public debt markets; and by borrowing from banks. Public markets in the United States and Europe are accessed through the Company’s commercial paper programs and through discrete-term note issuance to investors. The Company has various bank credit facilities that are available throughout the world. The Company expects to utilize public debt markets, bank credit facilities and cash from operations to meet its cash requirements in the future.

The following table illustrates the amounts outstanding and available under bank credit facilities and commercial paper programs at June 30, 2011:

	At June 30, 2011

Credit Ratings and Outlook — The following table summarizes the Company’s current debt ratings:

	Long-term Notes	U.S.-Based Commercial Paper	Outlook
Standard & Poor’s	BBB+	A-2	Stable
Moody’s	Baa2	P-2	Stable
Fitch	A-	F2	Stable

The Company’s euro commercial paper program has not been rated since the euro market does not require it. A downgrade to the Company’s credit ratings may increase borrowing costs to the Company, while an improvement in the Company’s credit ratings may decrease borrowing costs to the Company. Additionally, future downgrades in the Company’s credit ratings may result in reduced access to credit markets.

(b) Does not total due to rounding

Working capital increased $17.2 million in the first six months of 2011 due principally to the following factors:

· Net trade accounts receivable increased $114.0 million primarily due to higher sales activity (second quarter 2011 compared with fourth quarter 2010) in all segments, as well as a $24.1 million increase due to foreign currency translation;

· Inventories increased $23.9 million primarily due to the increased business activity in all segments, particularly in Harsco Industrial, as well as a $6.0 million increase due to foreign currency translation;

· Other current liabilities decreased by $22.5 million primarily due to reduced customer advance payments in the Harsco Rail Segment.

These working capital increases were offset by the following:

· Notes payable and current maturities increased by $57.8 million primarily due to higher outstanding commercial paper balances and, in conjunction with a decrease in cash of $28.9 million, reflected seasonal fluctuations in the cash needs of the Company;

· Other current assets decreased by $32.1 million primarily due to the sale of two lines of business in the Harsco Infrastructure Segment which had been classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2010 (see Note 3, “Acquisitions and Dispositions,” in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements); and

· Accounts payable increased $21.0 million primarily due to increased business activity in the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment and the Harsco Industrial Segment, as well as a $10.3 million increase due to foreign currency translation.

Certainty of Cash Flows — The certainty of the Company’s future cash flows is underpinned by the long-term nature of the Company’s metals services contracts, the order backlog for the Company’s railway track maintenance services and equipment, and the strong discretionary cash flows (operating cash flows in excess of the amounts necessary for capital expenditures to maintain current revenue levels) generated by the Company. Historically, the Company has utilized these discretionary cash flows for growth-related capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions, debt repayment and dividend

payments. As the Company has demonstrated since the end of 2008, it has the ability to substantially reduce its capital expenditures in the Harsco Infrastructure Segment due to the mobility of its existing capital investment base as well as a more disciplined globally integrated capital allocation approach. The existing capital base can be redeployed for use in growth projects, thus limiting the need for new investment, especially for the Harsco Infrastructure Segment. The Company has continued to grow in countries with increased demand through prudent redeployment of its existing equipment.

The types of products and services that the Company provides are not subject to rapid technological change, which increases the stability of related cash flows. Additionally, each of the Company’s businesses in its balanced portfolio is among the top three companies (relative to sales) in the industries and markets the Company serves. Due to these factors, the Company is confident in its future ability to generate positive cash flows from operations.

Cash Flow Summary

The Company’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, are summarized in the following table:

Summarized Cash Flow Information	Six Months Ended June 30
(In millions)	2011			2010
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	66.9		$	125.7
Investing activities	(129.7		)	(84.2		)

Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(28.9	)(a)	$	8.3

(a) Does not total due to rounding

Cash Provided by Operating Activities — Net cash provided by operating activities in the first half of 2011 was $66.9 million, a decrease of $58.8 million from the first half of 2010. The decrease reflected increased Trade accounts receivable, Inventories and Accounts Payable related to increased business activity. Also negatively impacting cash from operating activities were cash outflows of approximately $15 million associated with the Fourth Quarter 2010 Harsco Infrastructure Restructuring Program.

Cash Used by Investing Activities — In the first half of 2011, cash used by investing activities totaled $129.7 million. Capital investments totaled $166.9 million and increased $92.3 million compared with the first half of 2010. Growth capital investment expenditures constituted approximately 46% of investments made in the first half of 2011, and were predominantly in the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment and Harsco Infrastructure Segment. Throughout the remainder of 2011, the Company plans to continue to manage its balanced portfolio and consider opportunities to invest in value-creating projects.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities — Net cash provided by financing activities in the first half of 2011 was $30.4 million, an increase of $59.3 million from the first half of 2010. The increase was primarily due to higher outstanding commercial paper balances at June 30, 2011. The following table summarizes the Company’s debt and capital positions at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

(Dollars in millions)	June 30 2011			December 31 2010

Long-term debt	855.5			849.7
Total debt	948.5			884.9

Total capital	$	2,497.6		$	2,353.0
Total debt to total capital (a)	38.0		%	37.6		%

(a) Calculated as Total debt/Total capital.

The Company’s debt as a percent of total capital increased in the first half of 2011 due to higher outstanding commercial paper balances at the end of the quarter.

Debt Covenants

The Company’s credit facilities contain a covenant stipulating a maximum debt to capital ratio of 60%. One credit facility also contains a covenant requiring a minimum net worth of $475 million, and another limits the proportion of subsidiary consolidated indebtedness to 10% of consolidated tangible assets. The Company’s 5.75% and 2.70% notes include covenants that permit the note holders to redeem their notes at 101% of par in the event of a change of control of the Company or disposition of a significant portion of the Company’s assets in combination with a downgrade in the Company’s credit rating to non-investment grade. At June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with these covenants with a debt to capital ratio of 38.0% and total net worth of $1.5 billion. Based on balances at June 30, 2011, the Company could increase borrowings by approximately $1.4 billion and still be within its debt covenants. Alternatively, keeping all other factors constant, the Company’s equity could decrease by approximately $0.9 billion and the Company would still be within its debt covenants. The Company expects to continue to be compliant with these debt covenants one year from now.

Cash and Value-Based Management

The Company has various cash management systems throughout the world that centralize cash at various bank accounts where it is economically justifiable and legally permissible to do so. These centralized cash balances are then redeployed to other operations to reduce short-term borrowings and to finance working capital needs or capital expenditures. Due to the transitory nature of cash balances, they are normally invested in bank deposits that can be withdrawn at will or in very liquid short-term bank time deposits and government obligations. The Company’s policy is to use banks located in the various countries in which the Company operates rated “A” or better, or if no such banks exist, to use the largest banks within those countries. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its banks and when appropriate will adjust its banking operations to reduce or eliminate exposure to less creditworthy banks.

The Company plans to continue with its strategy of targeted, prudent investing for strategic purposes for the foreseeable future and to make more efficient use of existing investments. The long-term goal of this strategy is to create stockholder value by improving the Company’s EVA. Under this program, the Company evaluates strategic investments based upon the investment’s economic profit. EVA equals after-tax operating profits less a charge for the use of the capital employed to create those profits. Therefore, value is created when a project or initiative produces a return above the cost of capital. In the first six months of 2011, EVA improved compared with the first six months of 2010 due to higher operating profits.

The Company currently expects to continue paying dividends to stockholders. In May 2011, the Company paid its 244th consecutive quarterly cash dividend. In June 2011, the Company also declared its 245th consecutive quarterly cash dividend.

The Company’s financial position and debt capacity should enable it to meet current and future requirements. As additional resources are needed, the Company should be able to obtain funds readily and at competitive costs. The Company is well-positioned financially and intends to continue investing in high-return, organic growth projects and prudent, strategic alliances and joint ventures; reduce debt; and pay cash dividends as a means of enhancing stockholder value.
