and profitability. Substantially all of our products are subject to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (&#147;EPA&#148;) 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 our 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 our products. We, on our behalf and in joint efforts with other registration holders, have and are currently furnishing certain required data relative to our products. Under FIFRA, the federal
government requires us to submit a wide range of scientific data to support U.S. registrations. This requirement has significantly increased our operating expenses in such areas as testing and the production of new products. We expect 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 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. We can
provide no assurance that any testing approvals or registrations will be granted on a timely basis, if at all, or that our resources will be adequate to meet the costs of regulatory compliance. </FONT></P> <P

a competitive bid process. As a result we may not be the successful bidder for a desirable product or if successful, we may pay a higher price for such product than if there was no competitive bid process. Further, acquisitions may involve a number
of special risks or effects, including diversion of management&#146;s attention, failure to retain key acquired personnel, unanticipated events or circumstances, minimum purchase quantities, legal liabilities and amortization of acquired intangible
assets and other one-time or ongoing acquisition related expenses. Some or all of these special risks or effects could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Client satisfaction or performance problems associated with
a product line could have a material adverse impact on our reputation. In addition, there can be no assurance that acquired product lines, if any, will achieve anticipated revenues and earnings. </FONT></P> <P

STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">American Vanguard Corporation is a Delaware corporation. Under Delaware law, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to an action (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of his service as a director or officer of the corporation, or his service, at the corporation&#146;s request, as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) that are actually and reasonably incurred by him, and judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that are actually and reasonably incurred by
him, in connection with the defense or settlement of such action (collectively, &#147;Expenses&#148;), provided that he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Although Delaware law permits a corporation to indemnify any person referred to above against Expenses in connection with the
defense or settlement of an action by or in the right of the corporation, provided that he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests, if such person has been judged
liable to the corporation, indemnification is only permitted to the extent that the Court of Chancery (or the court in which the action was brought) determines that, despite the adjudication of liability, such person is entitled to indemnity for
such Expenses as the court deems proper. The determination as to whether a person seeking indemnification has met the required standard of conduct is to be made (i) by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested members of the board of directors,
or (ii) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, if such a quorum does not exist or if the disinterested directors so direct, or (iii) by the stockholders. The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware also provides for mandatory
indemnification of any director, officer, employee or agent against Expenses to the extent such person has been successful in any proceeding covered by the statute. In addition, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides the
general authorization of advancement of a director&#146;s or officer&#146;s litigation expenses in lieu of requiring the authorization of such advancement by the board of directors in specific cases, and that indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by the statute shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement or otherwise. </FONT></P> <P
