declared a cash dividend of $.14 per share as well as a 4-for-3 stock
split. Both dividends were distributed on April&nbsp;12, 2002 to stockholders
of record at the close of business on March&nbsp;29, 2002. The cash dividend
was paid on the number of shares outstanding prior to the 4-for-3 stock
split. Stockholders entitled to fractional shares resulting from the
stock split received cash in lieu of such fractional shares based on the
closing price of the Company&#146;s stock on March&nbsp;29, 2002. Accordingly, all
weighted average share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect
the stock split.</FONT></TD>

long-term credit agreement. The Company&#146;s primary bank (the &#147;Bank&#148;) acted
as sole administrative agent arranger and syndication agent. The Bank
syndicated the new credit facility with another bank. The $45,000,000
credit facility consists of a senior secured revolving line of credit of
$35,000,000 and a $10,000,000 senior secured term loan. The borrowings
under the credit agreement bear interest at the prime rate (&#147;Referenced
Loans&#148;), or at the Company&#146;s option, at a fixed rate of interest offered by
the Bank (&#147;Fixed Loans&#148;) for terms of one, two, three, six, nine or twelve
months. Interest on the Referenced Loans are payable quarterly, in
arrears, on the last day of each March, June, September, and December, and
on the maturity date of such loan in the amount of interest then accrued
but unpaid. Interest on the Fixed Loans are payable on the last day of
the interest period, provided that, with an interest period longer than
three months, interest is payable on the last day of each three-month
period after the commencement of such interest period. The senior secured
revolving line of credit matures on May&nbsp;31, 2005. The term loan matures
on May&nbsp;31, 2007. The principal payments of the term loan are payable in
equal quarterly installments of $625,000 each, on or before the last
business day of each February, May, August and November, commencing May
31, 2003 and in one final installment in the amount necessary to repay the
remaining outstanding principal balance of the term loan in full on the
maturity date.</FONT></TD>

(SFAS 142). SFAS 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
141 also requires that the Company recognize acquired intangible assets
apart from goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet certain
criteria. SFAS 141 applies to all business combinations initiated after

useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease
amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. SFAS 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 142

<P><FONT size="2">SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, was issued in June
2001 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2002. SFAS
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 143 will be adopted on the effective date, and adoption is not expected

<P><FONT size="2">SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-lived Assets, was
issued in August 2001 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after

for impairment and disposal of long-lived assets and discontinued operations.
SFAS 144 was adopted on the effective date, and did not result in any material

<P><FONT size="2">In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No.&nbsp;145, Rescission of FASB
Statements 4, 44,and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;13, and Technical
Corrections (SFAS 145). This statement eliminates the current requirement
that gains and losses on debt extinguishment must be classified as
extraordinary items in the income statement. Instead, such gains and losses
will be classified as extraordinary items only if they are deemed to be
unusual and infrequent, in accordance with the current GAAP criteria for
extraordinary classification. In addition, SFAS 145 eliminates an
inconsistency in lease accounting by requiring that modifications of capital
leases that result in reclassification as operating leases be accounted for
consistent with sale-leaseback accounting rules. The statement also contains
other nonsubstantive corrections to authoritative accounting literature. The
changes related to debt extinguishment will be effective for fiscal years
beginning after May&nbsp;15, 2002, and the changes related to lease accounting will
be effective for transactions occurring after May&nbsp;15, 2002. Adoption of this
standard will not have any immediate effect on the Company&#146;s
consolidated financial
statements.

<P><FONT size="2">In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No.&nbsp;146, Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS&nbsp;146), which addresses accounting for restructuring
and similar costs. SFAS 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance,
principally Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)&nbsp;Issue No.&nbsp;94-3. The Company will adopt
the provisions of SFAS 146 for restructuring activities initiated after
December&nbsp;31, 2002. SFAS 146 requires that the liability for costs associated
with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is
incurred. Under EITF No.&nbsp;94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at
the date of a company&#146;s commitment to an exit plan. SFAS 146 also establishes
that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value.
Accordingly, SFAS 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future
restructuring costs as well as the amount recognized.

The facility, termed Amvac Axis, Alabama (&#147;AAA&#148;) is one of three such units
located on DuPont&#146;s five hundred and ten acre complex in Axis, Alabama. The
acquisition of AAA consisted of a long-term ground lease of twenty-five acres
and the purchase of all improvements thereon. AAA is a multipurpose plant
designed primarily to manufacture pyrethroids and organophosphates, including
Fortress&#174;, a corn soil insecticide that the Company purchased from DuPont in
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

<P><FONT size="2">In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) finalized FASB
Statements No.&nbsp;141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141), and No.&nbsp;142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). SFAS 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
141 also requires that the Company recognize acquired intangible assets apart
from goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet certain criteria. SFAS
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 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize
goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In
addition, SFAS 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 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 142
requires the Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test six
months from the date of adoption.

assets was $10,049,500 and $11,384,900 as of December&nbsp;31, 2001 and June&nbsp;30,
2002, respectively. SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 were
adopted on the effective dates, and did not result in any material effects on
the Company&#146;s financial statements.

<P><FONT size="2">SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, was issued in June 2001
and is effective for fiscal years beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2002. SFAS 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.

effects on the Company&#146;s financial statements.

Statements 4, 44,and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;13, and Technical
Corrections (SFAS 145). This statement eliminates the current requirement that
gains and losses on debt extinguishment must be classified as extraordinary
items in the income statement. Instead, such gains and losses will be
classified as extraordinary items only if they are deemed to be unusual and
infrequent, in accordance with the current GAAP criteria for extraordinary
classification. In addition, SFAS 145 eliminates an inconsistency in lease
accounting by requiring that modifications of capital leases that result in
reclassification as operating leases be accounted for consistent with
sale-leaseback accounting rules. The statement also contains other
nonsubstantive corrections to authoritative accounting literature. The changes
related to debt extinguishment will be effective for fiscal years beginning
after May&nbsp;15, 2002, and the changes related to lease accounting will be
effective for transactions occurring after May&nbsp;15, 2002. Adoption of this
standard will not have any immediate effect on the Company&#146;s
consolidated financial
statements.

<P><FONT size="2">In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No.&nbsp;146, Accounting for Costs Associated

principally Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)&nbsp;Issue No.&nbsp;94-3. The Company will adopt
the provisions of SFAS 146 for restructuring activities initiated after
