<P><FONT size="2">On March&nbsp;18, 2002, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a
cash dividend of $.14 per share as well as a four-for-three stock split. The

dividend was paid on the number of shares outstanding prior to the stock
split. Shareholders entitled to fractional shares resulting from the stock
dividend received cash in lieu of such fractional share based on the
closing price of the Company&#146;s stock on March&nbsp;29, 2002.
Cash dividends paid April&nbsp;12, 2002 totaled $403,500.

initiated after June&nbsp;30, 2001. SFAS&nbsp;141 also requires that
the Company recognize acquired intangible assets apart from goodwill

useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and
cease amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful
life. SFAS&nbsp;142 is required to be applied in fiscal years

<P><FONT size="2">Weather patterns can have an impact on the Company&#146;s operations. Weather
conditions influence pest population by impacting gestation cycles for
particular pests and the effectiveness of some of the Company&#146;s products, among
other factors. The end user of some of the Company&#146;s products may, because of
weather patterns, delay or intermittently disrupt field work during the
planting season which may result in a reduction of the use of some of the
Company&#146;s products.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">Because of elements inherent to the Company&#146;s business, such as differing and
unpredictable weather patterns, crop growing cycles, changes in product mix of
sales, ordering patterns that may vary in timing, and promotional/early order
programs, measuring the Company&#146;s performance on a quarterly basis, (gross
profit margins on a quarterly basis may vary significantly) even when such
comparisons are favorable, is not as meaningful an indicator as full-year
comparisons. The primary reason is that the use cycles do not necessarily
coincide with financial reporting cycles. Because of the Company&#146;s cost
structure, the combination of variable revenue streams, and changing product
mixes, results in varying quarterly levels of profitability.

2000. The acquisition of AAA significantly increased the Company&#146;s capacity
while also providing flexibility and geographic diversity. Management
believes, as the Company looks to acquire additional product lines, AAA will
allow the Company to produce compounds that could not be manufactured at the
Company&#146;s Los Angeles (Commerce, California) facility and will further
complement the Company&#146;s toll manufacturing capabilities. The Company began
the commissioning phase of AAA during the third quarter of 2001 and it is
anticipated that this phase will be completed sometime during the third quarter
of 2002. The Company intends to focus its efforts, in addition to acquiring
new product lines and expanding the use of its current products, on discussions
with companies that in this time of consolidation in the Company&#146;s industry,
may be interested in utilizing the Company&#146;s toll manufacturing capabilities of
AAA.

$25,000,000 of a $45,000,000 maximum credit facility. The bank will act as
sole administrative agent arranger and syndication agent and a syndicate of

$35,000,000 and a $10,000,000 senior secured term loan. The senior secured

</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board finalized FASB Statement No.&nbsp;141, Business Combinations
(SFAS&nbsp;141), and No.&nbsp;142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets (SFAS&nbsp;142). SFAS&nbsp;141 requires the use of the
purchase method of accounting and prohibits the use of the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations
initiated after June&nbsp;30, 2001. SFAS&nbsp;141 also requires that
the Company recognize acquired intangible assets apart from goodwill
if the acquired intangible assets meet certain criteria.
SFAS&nbsp;141 applies to all business combinations initiated after
June&nbsp;30, 2001 and for purchase business combinations completed
on or after July&nbsp;1, 2001.
</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">SFAS&nbsp;142 requires, among other things, that
companies no longer amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for
impairment at least annually. In addition, SFAS&nbsp;142 requires
that the Company identify reporting units for the purposes of
assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the
useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and
cease amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful
life. SFAS&nbsp;142 is required to be applied in fiscal years
beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2001 to all goodwill and other
intangible assets recognized at that date. SFAS&nbsp;142 requires the
Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test six
months from the date of adoption.
</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">The Company&#146;s previous business combinations
were accounted for using the purchase method. The net carrying amount
of goodwill and other intangible assets was $10,049,500 and
$9,830,500 as of December&nbsp;31, 2001 and March&nbsp;31, 2002,
respectively. SFAS&nbsp;141 and SFAS&nbsp;142 were adopted on the
effective dates, and did not result in any material effects on the
Company&#146;s financial statements.
</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">SFAS&nbsp;143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations, was issued in June 2001 and is effective for fiscal
years beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2002. SFAS&nbsp;143 requires that
any legal obligation related to the retirement of long-lived assets be
quantified and recorded as a liability with the associated asset
retirement cost capitalized on the balance sheet in the period it is
incurred when a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the
liability can be made. SFAS&nbsp;143 will be adopted on the effective
date, and adoption is not expected to result in any material effects
on the Company&#146;s financial statements.

<P><FONT size="2">SFAS&nbsp;144, Accounting for the Impairment of
Disposal of Long-lived Assets, was issued in August 2001 and is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2001.
SFAS&nbsp;144 provides a single, comprehensive accounting model for
impairment and disposal of long-lived assets and discontinued
operations. SFAS&nbsp;144 was adopted on the effective date, and did
not result in any material effects on the Company&#146;s financial
statements.
