protection. These chemicals which include insecticides, fungicides, molluscicides, growth regulators, and soil fumigants, are marketed in liquid, powder, and granular forms. AMVAC&#146;s business is continually undergoing an evolutionary change.
Years ago AMVAC considered itself a distributor-formulator, but now AMVAC primarily manufactures, distributes, and formulates its own proprietary products or custom manufactures or formulates for others. </FONT></P> <P

Although AMVAC considers that, in the aggregate, its trademarks, licenses, and patents constitute a valuable asset, it does not regard its business as being materially dependent upon any single or several trademarks, licenses, or patents.
AMVAC&#146;s products also receive protection afforded by the effect of FIFRA legislation that makes it unlawful to sell any pesticide in the United States unless such pesticide has first been registered by the EPA as well as under similar state
laws. Substantially all of AMVAC&#146;s products are subject to EPA registration and re-registration requirements and are conditionally registered in accordance with FIFRA. This licensing by EPA is based, among other things, on data demonstrating
that the product will not cause unreasonable adverse effects on human health or the environment when it is used according to approved label directions. All states where any of AMVAC&#146;s products are used require a registration by that specific
state before it can be marketed or used. State registrations are renewed annually, as appropriate. The EPA and state agencies have required, and may require in the future, that certain scientific data requirements be performed on registered products
sold by AMVAC. AMVAC, on its own behalf and in joint efforts with other registrants, has, and is currently furnishing, certain required data relative to specific products. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under FIFRA, the federal government requires registrants to submit a wide range of scientific data to support U.S.
registrations. This requirement results in operating expenses in such areas as testing and the production of new products. AMVAC expensed $2,939,600, $2,433,300 and $2,555,200 during 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively, related to gathering this
information. Based on facts known today, AMVAC estimates it will spend approximately $3,300,000 in 2003. Because scientific analyses are constantly improving, it cannot be determined with certainty whether or not new or additional tests may be
required by the regulatory authorities. Additionally, while FIFRA Good Laboratory Practice standards specify the minimum practices and procedures which must be followed in order to ensure the quality and integrity of data related to these tests
submitted to the EPA, there can be no assurance the EPA will not request certain tests/studies be repeated. AMVAC expenses these costs on an incurred basis. See also PART I, Item 7 of this Annual Report for discussions pertaining to research and
development expenses. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Raw Materials </I></FONT></P> <P

twenty-five acres and the purchase of all improvements thereon. AAA is a multipurpose plant designed primarily to manufacture pyrethroids and organophosphates, including Fortress</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"

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 re-commissioning phase of AAA during the third quarter of 2001 and, for the most part,
completed the re-commissioning in the latter part 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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

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, 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 31, 2005. The term loan matures on May 31, 2007. The principal payments of the term loan are payable in equal quarterly installments of $625,000 each,

subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used to evaluate elements of property. The impairment test for identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization consists of a comparison of the fair value
of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss, if any, is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. As of January 1, 2002, the Company had an immaterial amount of goodwill and

been divesting themselves of products that fall into such smaller niche markets. These smaller niche markets require significant and intensive management input and ongoing product research and are near product maturity. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be successful in these smaller niche markets or, if it is successful in one or more niche markets, that it will continue to be successful in such niche markets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

to laws administered by federal, state and foreign governments, including regulations requiring registration, approval and labeling of its products. The labeling requirements restrict the use of and type of application for our products. More
stringent restrictions could make our products less desirable which would adversely affect our revenues and profitability. Substantially all of the Company&#146;s products are subject to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)
registration and re-registration requirements, and are conditionally registered in accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (&#147;FIFRA&#148;). Such registration requirements are based, among other things, on data
demonstrating that the product will not cause unreasonable adverse effects on human health or the environment when used according to approved label directions. All states where any of the Company&#146;s products are used also require registration
before they can be marketed or used in that state. Governmental regulatory authorities have required, and may require in the future, that certain scientific data requirements be performed on the Company&#146;s products. The Company, on its behalf
and in joint efforts with other registrants, have and are currently furnishing certain required data relative to its products. Under FIFRA, the federal government requires registrants to submit a wide range of scientific data to support U.S.
registrations. This requirement has significantly increased the Company&#146;s operating expenses in such areas as testing and the production of new products. The Company expects such increases to continue in the future. Because scientific analyses
are constantly improving, it cannot be determined with certainty whether or not new or additional tests may be required by regulatory authorities. Responding to such requirements may cause delays in the sales of our products which delays would
adversely affect our profitability. While FIFRA Good Laboratory Practice standards specify the minimum practices and procedures which must be followed in order to ensure the quality and integrity of data related to these tests submitted to the U.S.
EPA, there can be no assurance the EPA will not request certain tests or studies be repeated. In addition, more stringent legislation or requirements may be imposed in the future. The Company can provide no assurance that any testing approvals or
registrations will be granted on a timely basis, if at all, or that its resources will be adequate to meet the costs of regulatory compliance. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

rights associated with its product acquisitions. The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (&#147;SFAS&#148;) No. 142, &#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142,
identifiable intangibles with finite lives are amortized and those with indefinite lives are not amortized. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset to the Company is based upon a number of factors including the effects of
demand, competition, and expected changes in the marketability of the Company&#146;s products. The Company tests identifiable intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business
plans and future cash flows. Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used to evaluate elements of property. The impairment test for identifiable intangible assets
not subject to amortization consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss, if any, is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. As of
January 1, 2002, the Company had an immaterial amount of goodwill and amortization related to the goodwill. As such, the adoption of SFAS 142, did not have a material impact on the Company&#146;s financial statements. </FONT></P> <P

senior secured term loan (see note 2). The borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at the prime (4.25% as of December 31, 2002) 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 is 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. The senior secured revolving line of credit matures on May 31, 2005. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

countries. The case was also filed as a class action on behalf of other workers so exposed in these four countries. For the last five years, the focus of the case has been on procedural issues. The defendants moved to dismiss under the doctrine of

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Plaintiffs wish to keep the cases in the United States and have them remanded to state court. The Plaintiffs also contend that the federal court does not
have jurisdiction. In September 1998, the court granted defendants&#146; motion to dismiss based on the grounds of <I>forum non conveniens</I>. A number of conditions were imposed including consent to jurisdiction in the four foreign countries for
the ten named Plaintiffs, use of discovery taken in the United States, the requirement that the Plaintiffs file suits in their home countries by December 9, 1998, and the agreement by defendants to pay any judgment, if any, that might be entered in
the foreign countries. The court order also provided that the Plaintiffs could return to the United States if the foreign countries refused to accept jurisdiction. The court then dismissed the case on March 8, 1999. The Plaintiffs subsequently
appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal. Oral arguments were heard in the Ninth Circuit on August 9, 2000. The Ninth Circuit issued its decision on May 30, 2001, holding that the federal court did not have jurisdiction. A petition for writ of
certiorari (a writ of a superior court to call up the records of an inferior court or quasi-judicial body) was filed in United States Supreme Court on October 5, 2001. As of December 31, 2002 and up to the present, the case is pending before the
U.S. Supreme Court. Oral argument was held on January 22, 2003. A decision will not likely be issued for several months. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

on AMVAC in March 2001, however no defendant has been required to answer. Suits in the other countries have not been served. No discovery has taken place on the individual claims of the Plaintiffs. However, AMVAC product did not reach two of the
four countries involved. It is too early to provide any evaluation of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome at this time. Likewise, it is too early to determine whether the Plaintiffs&#146; attorneys will attempt to include other banana workers
as Plaintiffs in this case or somewhere else. Without such discovery, it is unknown whether any of the Plaintiffs was exposed to AMVAC&#146;s product or what statute of limitation defense may apply. The Company intends to continue to vigorously

Standard Fruit and Steamship Co., Dole Food Co., Inc., Dole Fresh Fruit Co., Chiquita Brands, Inc., Chiquita Brands International, Inc. and Del Monte Fresh Produce, N.A. The cases were filed in the Circuit Court of Harrison County, First Judicial
District of Mississippi. Each case alleged damages sustained from injuries caused by Plaintiffs&#146;(who are former banana workers and citizens of various Central American countries) exposure to DBCP while applying the product in their native
countries. These cases have been removed to U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, Southern Division. The federal court granted defense motions to dismiss in each case pursuant to the doctrine of <I>forum non conveniens</I>.
On January 19, 2001, the court issued an unpublished decision, finding that there was jurisdiction in federal court, but remanded just one case back to the trial court to determine if a stipulation which limited the Plaintiff&#146;s recovery to
fifty thousand dollars was binding. If the stipulation is binding, that case will be remanded to state court. If the stipulation is not binding, that case will be dismissed along with the others, requiring the Plaintiffs to litigate in their native
countries. No discovery has taken place on the individual claims of these Plaintiffs. However, AMVAC product was not used in at least two of the countries involved. Without discovery, it is unknown whether any of the Plaintiffs was exposed to the
Company&#146;s product or what statute of limitation defense may apply. AMVAC intends to contest the cases vigorously. It is too early to provide an evaluation of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome at this time. </FONT></P> <P

from alleged exposure to DBCP (punitive damages are also sought). The Plaintiffs are primarily from the countries of the Philippines, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Equador. In November 1999, the cases were removed to the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Louisiana. The Plaintiffs filed a motion to remand the cases back to the state court in December 1999. In February 2000, the Plaintiffs&#146; attorneys withdrew their motion to remand the cases to state court without

matters involve an earlier round of litigation by foreign banana workers. The complaints filed in the United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit entitled <I>Franklin Rodriquez Delgado, et al., Jorge Colindres Carcamo, individually and on behalf
of all other similarly situated, et al., Juan Ramon Valdez, et al., and Isae Carcamo v. Shell Oil Company, et al</I>. The complaints are for personal injuries from alleged exposure to DBCP. AMVAC was not sued by the Plaintiffs but was sued on a
third party complaint by Dow Chemical Company. These cases were originally filed in various state courts in Texas and removed by the defendants to federal court. By order dated July 11, 1995, the United States District Court granted defendants&#146;
motion to dismiss pursuant to the doctrine of <I>forum non conveniens</I>, requiring the Plaintiffs to sue in their native countries. The court required the defendants to consent to jurisdiction in the foreign countries along with other conditions.
As AMVAC had not been sued by the Plaintiffs directly, it refused to consent to jurisdiction in the foreign countries for these Plaintiffs. In 1995, Dow Chemical Company dismissed its third party complaint against AMVAC without prejudice.
Subsequently, Dow Chemical Company settled with these Plaintiffs as well as with about fifteen thousand other banana workers represented by the Plaintiffs&#146; law firm. Dow Chemical Company was then dismissed by the Plaintiffs with prejudice in
September 1997. Two intervenors have filed a motion in opposition to this dismissal. The Plaintiffs appealed to the Fifth Circuit on the order of dismissal under <I>forum non conveniens</I>. In October 2000, the Fifth Circuit found federal court
jurisdiction and affirmed the dismissals based on <I>forum non conveniens</I>. The United States Supreme Court refused to accept a hearing at that time. The Plaintiffs want the court to hear this case if it decides to hear the Patrickson Case. While
AMVAC is not presently a party in this lawsuit having been dismissed without prejudice, the case is still pending, with the focus now shifted to the jurisdiction in the foreign countries. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
