March&nbsp;8, 2007 &#150; American Vanguard Corporation (NYSE:AVD), today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">For the fourth quarter, net sales were $55.1 million compared to $61.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, primarily due to substantially lower sales of the Company&#146;s corn soil insecticides, as anticipated. Operating income was
$10.7 million, compared to $13.2 million, primarily due to the lower sales level, as well as product mix and the associated margins, which was mitigated by a 21% decrease in operating expenses. The Company incurred greater interest expense due to
increased debt levels coupled with higher interest rates. Net income was $5.4 million or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to $7.9 million or $0.30 per diluted share in the final quarter of 2005. The effective income tax rate in the fourth quarter
of 2006 was 45%, including a non-recurring retroactive true-up of 4%, versus an effective income tax rate of 38.5% in the fourth quarter of 2005. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For the
year, net sales were $193.8 million, up 2% from 189.8&nbsp;million in 2005. Sales were affected by the aforementioned decrease in sales of corn soil insecticides, as well as the previously announced adverse impact of pest and weather related factors
on Bidrin<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000"><SUP>&reg;<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000"></FONT></SUP><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000"></FONT></FONT>, the Company&#146;s cotton insecticide,

mosquito adulticide. Operating income was $29.2 million versus $32.3 million, and net income was $15.4 million or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to $19.0 million or $0.74 per diluted share in 2005. Profitability was impacted by the aforementioned
product mix and associated margins, as well as interest expense. Fiscal 2006 results also reflect the Company&#146;s expensing of stock options, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 123R, which totaled approximately $576,000,
versus zero in 2005. The effective income tax rate in 2006 was 42%, including a non-recurring retroactive true-up of 1%, versus an effective income tax rate of 38.6% in 2005. </FONT></P> <P

Vanguard and our industry as a whole. As expected, our results for the fourth quarter and year were impacted by the acceptance of genetically modified corn, which had a significant bearing on our traditional corn soil insecticide market. While we
are disappointed with our results, 2006 marked our 10</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000"><SUP>th</SUP></FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000"> consecutive year of revenue growth, and we were able to
generate an 8% net profit margin in the face of substantial increases in energy and transportation costs.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute continued, &#147;With
regard to the corn market, acreage is projected to reach record levels, and at the same time, prices are rising, driven largely by ethanol production. As a result, farmers should be in a much stronger financial position than in recent years, giving
them the means to use inputs to generate maximum yields. Our Company offers the leading variety of corn soil insecticide options, which positions us to benefit from the expected overall health of the corn market, despite the wide acceptance of
genetic seed. Additionally, we are actively marketing our corn soil insecticides, sold through our SmartBox<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000"><SUP>&reg;<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000"></FONT></SUP><FONT

As we announced in mid-January, through an agreement with DuPont, Impact has been incorporated in the TruChoice Opportunity Program, a financing program offered by Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., a DuPont subsidiary. A percentage of total
purchases made on products in the TruChoice program are returned to the farmer in the form of interest paid on loans, which is compelling for farmers since very few of them operate on an all-cash basis. We are very enthusiastic about this program,
and see it as an endorsement of Impact. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;During the fourth quarter, we also began generating sales of Counter<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"

&#147;We remain confident in American Vanguard&#146;s business model and optimistic about the Company&#146;s prospects for fiscal year 2007. We fully expect to achieve improved results this year as compared to 2006, based upon: (1)&nbsp;continued
growth in Impact, which is participating in a $200 million marketplace; (2)&nbsp;annualized sales from Counter; (3)&nbsp;greater sales of our corn soil insecticides; and (4)&nbsp;a return to historic sales levels of Bidrin and Dibrom, based on
normal pest pressure and rainfall. However, based on information to date, we believe much of this growth will occur in mid- to late 2007. With regard to future product licenses and acquisitions, the environment certainly remains attractive, and we
are well positioned to capitalize on those opportunities.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Conference Call </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
