<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Many of such competitors are larger and have substantially greater financial and technical resources than AMVAC. AMVAC&#146;s ability to compete depends on
its ability to develop additional applications for its current products and expand its product lines and customer base. AMVAC competes principally on the basis of the quality of its products, its price and the technical service and support given to
its customers. The inability of AMVAC to effectively compete in several of AMVAC&#146;s principal products would have a material adverse effect on AMVAC&#146;s results of operations. </FONT></P> <P

suppression. AMVAC has attempted to position itself in smaller niche markets which are no longer of strong focus to larger companies. These markets are small by nature, require significant and intensive management input, ongoing product research,
and are near product maturity. These types of markets tend not to attract larger chemical companies due to the smaller volume demand, and larger chemical companies have been divesting themselves of products that fall into such niches as is evidenced
by AMVAC&#146;s successful acquisitions of certain product lines. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Intellectual Property </I></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.

pesticide has first been registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (&#147;EPA&#148;) 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 in that state. 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 furnished, and is
currently furnishing, certain required data relative to specific products. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;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 $2,013,000, $2,884,000 and $2,853,000 during 2007, 2006
and 2005 respectively, related to gathering this information. 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 as incurred basis. See also PART II, Item&nbsp;7 of this Annual Report for discussions pertaining to research and development expenses.

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The chemical industry in general is cyclical and demands for its products tend to be slightly seasonal. Seasonal usage follows varying agricultural
seasonal patterns, weather conditions and weather related pressure from pests, and customer marketing programs and requirements. Weather patterns can have an impact on the Company&#146;s operations. The end user of some of its 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 products and therefore may reduce our revenues and profitability. There can be no assurance that the
Company will adequately address any adverse seasonal effects. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:2%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>The industry in which the Company does business is extremely

any kind is broad in scope, there being more than one way or one product for treatment, eradication, or suppression. The Company faces competition from many domestic and foreign manufacturers, marketers and distributors participating in its
marketplace. Competition in the marketplace is based primarily on efficacy, price, safety and ease of application. Many of the Company&#146;s competitors are larger and have substantially greater financial and technical resources. The Company&#146;s
ability to compete depends on its ability to develop additional applications for its current products, and to expand its product lines and customer base. The Company competes principally on the basis of the quality of its products, and the technical
service and support given to its customers. There can be no assurance that the Company will compete successfully with existing competitors or with any new competitors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s products are subject 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 EPA registration and re-registration requirements, and are conditionally registered in accordance with FIFRA. 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:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:2%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>The Company faces risks related to

additional product lines from these larger competitors. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional product lines, or successfully integrate any acquired product lines without
substantial expenses, delays or other operational or financial problems. There is an increasing trend in selling mature product lines through 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 the Company&#146;s financial and operating results. Client satisfaction or performance problems associated with a business or product line could have a material adverse impact on the Company&#146;s
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"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

the Company will be successful in the marketplace. In addition, there can be no assurance that products or technologies (e.g., genetic engineering) developed by others will not render the Company&#146;s products noncompetitive or obsolete, which

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

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AMVAC and the Company were served with complaints in February 1997. The actions were filed in the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit, State of Hawaii
entitled <I>Board of Water Supply of the County of Maui v.&nbsp;Shell Oil Co., et. al.</I> The suit named as defendants the Company, AMVAC, Shell Oil Company, The Dow Chemical Company, Occidental Chemical Company, Occidental Petroleum Corporation,
Occidental Chemical Corporation, and Brewer Environmental Industry, Inc. Maui Pineapple Company was joined as a cross-defendant. The Complaint alleged that between two and four of the Board&#146;s wells had been contaminated with DBCP in excess of
the maximum contaminant level (&#147;MCL&#148;). In addition, the Board of Water Supply contended that future wells may exceed the MCL level and would need remediation. On August&nbsp;2, 1999, a global settlement was reached, which included the
remediation of the existing contaminated wells in addition to the installation of filtration devices on other wells for the next forty years on the island of Maui. The cash settlement was three million dollars ($3,000,000) of which AMVAC&#146;s (and
the Company&#146;s) portion was five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000). The settlement agreement obligates the defendants to pay for the installation of filtration devices on other wells that become contaminated later and for the ongoing operation
and maintenance of the filtration devices for up to forty years. The annual costs of operation and maintenance per well is estimated to be approximately sixty-nine thousand dollars ($69,000), to be adjusted annually by the consumer price index. The
obligations of the defendants under this agreement are secured by a twenty million-dollar letter of credit obtained by Dow Chemical. In connection with the settlement, in October 2005, AMVAC paid for a share of a permanent filtration system in the
amount of $222,198. In June 2007, AMVAC paid $23,654 for its share of operations and maintenance expenses for 2005 and 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In October 1997, AMVAC was served with a Complaint(s) in which it was named as a defendant, filed in the Circuit Court, First Circuit, State of Hawaii and
in the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit, State of Hawaii (two identical suits) entitled <I>Patrickson, et. al. v. Dole Food Co., et. al</I> (&#147;Patrickson Case&#148;) alleging damages sustained from injuries caused by plaintiffs&#146; exposure
to DBCP while applying the product in their native countries. Other named defendants are: Dole Food Co., Dole Fresh Fruit, Dole Fresh Fruit International, Pineapple Growers Association of Hawaii, Shell Oil Company, Dow Chemical Company, Occidental
Chemical Corporation, Standard Fruit Company, Standard Fruit&nbsp;&amp; Steamship, Standard Fruit Company De Costa Rica, Standard Fruit Company De Honduras, Chiquita Brands, Chiquita Brands International, Martrop Trading Corporation, and Del Monte
Fresh Produce. (American Vanguard Corporation has not been sued in these actions.) The ten named plaintiffs are citizens of four countries&#151;Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, and Ecuador. Punitive damages are sought against each defendant. The
plaintiffs were banana workers and allege that they were exposed to DBCP in applying the product in their native countries. The case was also filed as a class action on behalf of other workers so exposed in these four countries. The plaintiffs
allege sterility and other injuries. The suits were removed to federal court and for the last several years, the focus of the case has been on procedural issues, including the dismissal of the case based on the doctrine of forum non conveniens. This
doctrine would require the plaintiffs to pursue their claims in their native countries. On April&nbsp;22, 2003, the United States Supreme Court issued a decision on the procedural posture of the case, holding there was no jurisdiction in federal
court and remanded the case to state court. Starting in early 2004, there had been no activity in the case for about two years. However, a status conference was held on June&nbsp;1, 2006 at the request of the plaintiffs&#146; attorneys, who
expressed a desire to pursue the class action aspect or add other individuals. Plaintiffs&#146; counsel now claims that his class members will include workers from mainland U.S. and other countries. On September&nbsp;12, 2006, the court ordered the
transfer of venue from Maui County to Oahu. The court held a status conference on April&nbsp;16, 2007 and tentatively set the case for trial for February&nbsp;16, 2009. The plaintiffs were requested to file a preliminary motion for class
certification but have not done so to date. All parties expect that the case will not be certified as a class action as a matter of law, but the plaintiffs&#146; attorney then wants to add several thousand other individuals as plaintiffs here or in
some other action. No discovery has taken place on the individual claims of the plaintiffs. Without such discovery, it is unknown whether any of the plaintiffs was exposed to AMVAC brand DBCP, what are the actual injuries, or what statute of
limitation defenses may apply. AMVAC intends to contest the cases vigorously. However, it is too early to provide an assessment as to the probability of an unfavorable outcome in these matters. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Further, the plaintiffs&#146; attorneys reported that the ten plaintiffs filed suit in their home countries in 1998, based on the prior order of forum
non conveniens, alleging damages in excess of two million United States dollars ($2,000,000) per plaintiff. The suit in Guatemala was served on AMVAC in March 2001, but no defendant has been required to answer. Suits in the other countries have not
been served. AMVAC has engaged local attorneys in the countries to defend these foreign suits. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I><U>Adams v. Dole Food Co. et al </U></I>

Fresh Food, Pineapple Growers Association, AMVAC, Shell Oil Co., Dow Chemical Co. and Occidental Corporation. Plaintiff Mark Adams alleges he was exposed to DBCP in 1974 and 1975 while working on Dole&#146;s plantation on Oahu. Plaintiff Nelson Ng
alleges he was exposed between 1971 and 1973 while working in Lanai City, Lanai. AMVAC answered the complaint on or about December&nbsp;14, 2007. While no discovery has taken place, AMVAC denies that any of its product could have been used at the
times and locations alleged by these plaintiffs. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

the Patrickson plaintiffs in Hawaii.) The complaints are brought by plaintiffs Edgar Arroyo-Gonzalez, Eulogio Garzon-Larreategui, ValentinValdez, Amilcar Belteton-Rivera, and Carlos Nicanor Espinola-E against one or more of the following named
defendants: Coahoma Chemical Co. Inc., Shell Oil Company, Dow Chemical Co., Occidental Chemical Co., Standard Fruit Co., 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 a Central American country) exposure to DBCP while applying the product in their native countries. These cases were 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&nbsp;19, 2001, the court issued an unpublished decision, finding that there was jurisdiction in federal court, but
remanded just one case (Espinola) back to the trial court based on a stipulation which limited the plaintiff&#146;s recovery to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). No activity has taken place on this matter since 2001. Without discovery, it is unknown
whether this plaintiff was exposed to the Company&#146;s product or what defenses may apply. AMVAC intends to contest the cases vigorously. It is too early to provide an evaluation of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in this case.

Dole Food, Chiquita Brands, Tela Railroad Company, Compania Palma Tica, and Del Monte Fresh Produce. American Vanguard Corporation is not named as a defendant. These suits were filed in 1996, but they were not served until November 1999. Following a
dismissal of most of the plaintiffs from the action (in light of the fact that they had previously settled their claims in other actions), the complaints, with Soriano as the lead case, allege personal injuries to 314 persons (167 from Ecuador, 102
from Costa Rica, and 45 from Guatemala) from alleged exposure to DBCP (punitive damages are also sought). With the United States Supreme Court holding there was no federal court jurisdiction in the Patrickson case, the federal court judge remanded
the cases to Louisiana state court in June 2003. In state court, the three cases were assigned to two different judges. On November&nbsp;17, 2006, the state court separated the cases handled by attorney Scott Hendler from the cases being pursed only
against the growers handled by different counsel. Subsequently, the cases against the growers were settled and all those actions were dismissed. The cases handled by Mr.&nbsp;Hendler were supposed to be placed in a new action, which was not done.

injuries for complete sterility (azoospermia) or in one case, severely reduced sperm count. They claim exposure from working on banana plantations in Nicaragua from dermal contact with DBCP and inhalation of vapors. The plaintiffs also claimed
exposure to DBCP in groundwater that they ingested, but testing of wells in October 2005 did not reveal the presence of any DBCP contamination and this claim of exposure through groundwater was dropped. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AMVAC was served with the complaint on April&nbsp;12, 2004 and filed an answer on May&nbsp;5, 2004. On May&nbsp;6, 2004, Dow Chemical removed the case
from state court to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The case was subsequently remanded to state court. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">On September&nbsp;2, 2004, the plaintiffs were permitted to file an amended complaint that dropped seven plaintiffs and added 18 others, so that there were a total of 36 plaintiffs. Since that time, 18 plaintiffs have been dismissed, four
others who have not yet obtained U.S. visas to come to the United States for their depositions, and one making a cancer related claim have been transferred to the <I>Mejia </I>case listed below, reducing the total to 13. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In March 2007, AMVAC settled with the 13 plaintiffs for a total of $300,000 without any admission of liability. The case proceeded to a jury trial
against the Dole Food and Dow Chemical defendants in July 2007 for 12 plaintiffs as one was transferred to the <I>Mejia </I>case. On November 5, 2007, the jury found for the defendants on the claims of six of the plaintiffs and found for the
plaintiffs on the other six for a total award of approximately $3.3 million. For five of the six plaintiffs, the jury allocated 80% of the liability to Dole on fraudulent concealment and strict liability causes of action and 20% to Dow (and 40% on
the other plaintiff) on strict products liability. In further deliberations, the same jury awarded $500,000 in punitive damages to each of five plaintiffs as against the Dole entities for fraudulent concealment for a total of an additional $2.5
million. Motions for new trial are pending. On March 7, 2008, the trial court in Tellez granted Dole&#146;s motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict as to punitive damages thereby reversing the award of punitive damages ($2.5 million) against
Dole. In reaching its decision, the court found that any award of punitive damages as against Dole would be violative of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as the claimed injuries to plaintiffs and Dole&#146;s acts occurred outside
of California. As this case impacts the other DBCP suits, the Company is monitoring these developments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">This case, like the other pending
banana workers suits, demonstrates the difficult issues of law and fact to all parties and the potential of large verdicts, at least in cases involving claims of complete sterility (azoospermia) that defendants cannot explain. In all of these banana
worker cases, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to avoid an adverse judgment or that the size of any such judgment will not have an adverse effect upon the Company&#146;s financial performance. If plaintiffs continue to be
successful, it is likely that other banana workers from Nicaragua will file suit in California. </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">In May 2005, two suits filed in Nicaragua in 2004 were received that name AMVAC, The Dow Chemical
Company, Dole Food Co., Dole Fresh Fruit, and Standard Fruit Company. The two suits for personal injuries for sterility and reduced sperm counts have been filed on behalf of a total of 15 banana workers: <I>Flavio Apolinar Castillo et al. v. AMVAC
Chemical Corporation et al.</I>, No.&nbsp;535/04 and <I>Luis Cristobal Martinez Suazo et al. v. AMVAC Chemical Corporation et al.</I>, No.&nbsp;679/04. In December 2005, AMVAC received six additional, similar lawsuits filed on behalf of a total of
30 plaintiffs. These plaintiffs each claim $1 million in special and general damages and $5 million in punitive damages. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AMVAC has
retained an attorney in Nicaragua and understands that the receipt of these eight suits constitutes first notice and an invitation to attend mediation. All but one of these suits is based on Nicaraguan Public Law 364 issued in October 2000 that is
directed solely at DBCP and requires the posting of a $100,000 bond, sets forth a lessened standard of proof to show that the claimed injuries are due to DBCP, and establishes an unreasonable amount of minimum compensation for injuries. This law
also provides that there is no statute of limitations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On January&nbsp;25, 2006, AMVAC was served with the Flavio Apolinar Castillo and
Luis Cristobal Martinez Suazo suits listed above. In March 2006, counsel in Nicaragua filed objections to jurisdiction over Amvac in these two cases. The court finally ruled on all the defendants&#146; objections on March&nbsp;20, 2007 by denying
each objection to jurisdiction. Appeals are pending at the appellate level in Nicaragua. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A review of court filings in Chinandega,
Nicaragua, by local counsel has found 85 suits filed pursuant to Public Law 364 that name AMVAC and include approximately 3,592 plaintiffs. However, only the two <I>Castillo</I> <I></I>and <I>Suazo</I> cases have been served on Amvac. Each of these
plaintiffs claims $1 million in special and general damages and $5 million in punitive damages. It is anticipated that the plaintiffs&#146; attorneys will continue to file additional actions on a monthly basis in Nicaragua. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In an earlier round of suits brought in Nicaragua against Dow, Shell, and Standard Fruit only, the Nicaragua court issued judgments for $490 million in
December 2002 based on claims of 583 banana workers, despite defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and the unconstitutionality of Public Law 364. It has been reported that in 2003, the United States District Court in Los Angeles refused to
enforce these judgments on the basis that the judgments did not properly name the defendants. The U.S. District Court did not reach the issue of due process under Public Law 364. An appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is
pending. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AMVAC contends that the Nicaragua courts do not have jurisdiction over it and that Public Law 364 violates international due
process of law. AMVAC intends to contest personal jurisdiction and demand under Law 364 that the claims be litigated in the United States. Thus far, it appears that the Nicaraguan courts have denied all requests of other defendants under Law 364
that allow the defendants the option of consenting to jurisdiction in the United States. It is not presently known as to how many of these plaintiffs actually claim exposure to DBCP at the time AMVAC&#146;s product was allegedly used nor is there
any verification of the claimed injuries. Based on the precedent of the earlier suits in Nicaragua, it would appear likely that the Nicaragua courts will, over the defendants&#146; objections, enter multi-million dollar judgments for the plaintiffs
and against all defendants in these cases. One such judgment was entered in August 2005 for $97 million for 150 plaintiffs against Dole Food and other entities. It has also been reported that on December&nbsp;1, 2006, the Nicaraguan court rendered a
judgment for $802 million against Dow, Shell, Occidental, and Standard Fruit for some 1200 plaintiffs. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>E. Ivory Coast Cases

which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division as Case No.&nbsp;1:07-CV-1236-CC. In this action, plaintiff seeks damages and injunctive relief for alleged antitrust violations arising from
AMVAC&#146;s purchase of the patent relating to the EZ Load<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> closed delivery system. Aceto, which has sold a generic version of the insecticide phorate through the EZ Load system, was
licensee under a license with the former patent holder which permitted Aceto to use the EZ Load system through August&nbsp;1, 2007. Aceto seeks, among other things, to enjoin AMVAC from asserting its patent rights following the expiration of
Aceto&#146;s license. AMVAC believes that this case has no merit and plans to defend it vigorously. The hearing on plaintiff&#146;s motion for a preliminary injunction concluded on October&nbsp;26, 2007, and, on December&nbsp;17, 2007, the court
entered an order under which is denied plaintiff&#146;s motion for preliminary injunction, finding that Aceto had not met its burden of establishing a likelihood of success on the merits of any claim. Plaintiff has filed a notice of appeal of the

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 the changing product mixes, results in varying quarterly levels of profitability. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as
equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent&#146;s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS
160 clarifies that changes in a parent&#146;s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains it controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a
parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded
disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is
prohibited. The Company is evaluating the adoption of SFAS 160 and its impact on the Company&#146;s consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS No.&nbsp;159 is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently.
SFAS No.&nbsp;159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No.&nbsp;159 is effective
for the Company as of January&nbsp;1, 2008. The Company has not completed its evaluation of SFAS No.&nbsp;159 but it does not expect the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;159 to have a material effect on its operating results or financial position.

recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. This statement was effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December&nbsp;15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 158 did not have a

provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (&#147;SFAS&#148;) No.&nbsp;142, &#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;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 at least annually, 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. Fair value is typically estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis,
which requires the Company to estimate the future cash flows anticipated to be generated by the particular asset(s) being tested for impairment as well as select a discount rate to measure the present value of the anticipated cash flows. When
determining future cash flow estimates, the Company considers historical results adjusted to reflect current and anticipated operating conditions. Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment by the Company in such areas as future
economic conditions, industry-specific conditions, product pricing and necessary capital expenditures. The use of different assumptions or estimates for future cash flows could produce different impairment amounts (or none at all) for long-lived

variable rate of interest, which fluctuates with changes in the lender&#146;s reference rate. At December&nbsp;31, 2007, the Company&#146;s outstanding indebtedness was $60,261. A 1% change in the reference rate during 2007 would have increased or
decreased the Company&#146;s interest expense, based on the weighted outstanding balance, by approximately $778. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. </FONT></P> <P

and will continue to mitigate a portion of its currency exchange exposure through operation of decentralized foreign operating companies in which the majority of all costs are local-currency based. A 10% change in the value of all foreign currencies
would have an immaterial effect on the Company&#146;s financial position and cash flows. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:18px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention

SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s compensation program has several objectives. First, we believe that our compensation should attract and retain top-quality executives. Many of our executives have transferred to the Company from our competitors, which are
typically much larger organizations. In addition, we realize that our key executives could find work in the industry very easily. We must, therefore, be mindful that we do not fall below the standard observed by other public companies of a similar
size in paying executives. In February 2006, the Compensation Committee commissioned its compensation consultant, ECG Advisors, to review compensation of the top 10 most highly paid executives at the Company, including benchmarking against public
companies having annual revenues of between $225 million and $400 million. According to that study, the Company&#146;s executive salaries were between 4 percent above and 5 percent below the 50th percentile, executive bonuses were approximately 5
percent above the 50th percentile for target bonuses, and option values were 1 percent above the market. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Second, we believe in paying for
performance. Performance, however, is not limited to company-wide objectives or personal goals. In fact, we hold our executives as a group accountable for both company-wide performance (typically in terms of net sales and net earnings) and
individual performance, which varies by position. In 2007 we revisited the issue of individual performance standards and established revised annual </FONT>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">
<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">standards for all managers within the Company. We are mindful of the fact that an executive may have an off-year, while the Company has an excellent year,
and vice versa. We take these factors into account in determining compensation, particularly incentive-based compensation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Third, we
believe that compensation decisions should be made with the benefit of as much current information as possible. Compensation decisions that are rigorously tied to formulas can fail to take into account unforeseen matters beyond an employee&#146;s
control, may lead to undesirable results, and can fail to reward positive conduct. Indeed, it is very difficult to catalog in advance all of the factors that should be taken into account in making compensation decisions. While we do set company-wide
goals and individual performance goals for our executives, when applying those criteria, we do take into account real market conditions, compensation trends, peer practices, and other factors in making compensation decisions. Thus, for example, if
the entire industry is down due to unusual weather conditions, and our company has performed well compared to our peers, we will take that into account in setting compensation. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Fourth, we compensate, in part, so that our executives have a long-term interest in the Company&#146;s success. This is especially so in the case of
equity awards. Through granting options with a 7 to 10 year term, for example, we give the optionee motivation to plan for the long-term, rather than to seek solely to maximize short-term returns at the expense of long-term returns. Equity awards
also serve to align our executives&#146; interests with those of our shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Elements of Compensation </I></B></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our named executive officers receive a base salary and certain benefits (including paid vacation, subsidized health and dental insurance, subsidized life
insurance, and an automobile allowance). In addition, they participate in an annual incentive compensation plan and, from time to time, receive awards of equity, typically in the form of stock options. Further, they may choose to participate in
voluntary benefit programs, such as a 401K plan and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Base salary&#151;base salary provides the executive
with a reasonable standard of living and permits the Company to put certain other elements of compensation at risk. Further, it would be virtually impossible to attract or retain qualified executives without this element of compensation. It forms
the bulk of the executive&#146;s compensation. This is the portion of compensation that does not vary with annual changes in company-wide performance or stock market fluctuations. The executive can count on his or her salary and can plan around it.
In 2007, base salary accounted for more than half of total compensation among named executive officers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Benefits&#151;because health and
dental insurance subsidies are also universally paid to executives in virtually all industries, including our industry, the Company must provide these subsidies in order to remain competitive. In addition, these subsidies are a good investment by
the employer, as they serve to help keep the executives healthy or, when injury or sickness strikes, to bring them back to productive service. These coverages also help the executive to limit family medical expenses that, if not otherwise insured,
might cause the executive severe financial hardship. Life insurance subsidies serve as a mechanism by which the Company can give something of value back to the executive&#146;s family or other beneficiaries in the case of death. We believe that when
our executives join the Company, they are not alone in making a commitment to us; their families are making a commitment as well. Finally, the automobile allowance serves to help the executive to offset the increasingly high cost of operating a
motor vehicle. It is also a common perquisite, which the Company offers in order to remain competitive. The size of the allowance is consistent with ensuring that the executive will have reliable transportation to and from work. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Voluntary benefits&#151;our 401K plan is a tool that serves to encourage the executive to plan for retirement now. The Company matching contribution

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">effect both in recruitment and retention. Similarly, the American Vanguard Corporation Stock Purchase Plan serves as a means for retaining executives. It
gives our executives (and other employees) the opportunity to acquire equity at a discount, which right is not available to outsiders. It also provides a means for acquiring stock at a discounted price through relatively minimal payroll deductions
over a period of time. Further, the ESPP is a mechanism by which the executive can put some &#147;skin in the game&#148; by investing in the Company. Equity ownership helps to align the executive&#146;s interests with that of our shareholders and
serves to foster a long-term perspective in the executive. In addition, equity can serve as a surrogate for a pension plan with executives. Equity awards and voluntary participation in the 401K plan are the only two forms of long-term compensation
offered to executives by the Company. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our policy for allocating between long-term (equity) and current compensation depends largely on the
perceived value of the equity. For example, to the extent that the Company&#146;s stock price has appreciated continuously over multiple quarters and industry prospects look promising, we would tend to place a greater value on an award of equity.
Conversely, if the stock price has exhibited volatility or lost value over time, then we might place a lesser value on equity awards, particularly if industry conditions are fair to poor. In the former case, we would place a greater emphasis on
equity awards, while, in the latter case, we would place a greater emphasis on current compensation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Compensation Committee, working
with its compensation consultant, regularly visits the question of whether, when and how to award equity. In making its recommendation, the Committee considers the length of time since the last equity award, the total shareholder return over the
past several years, the impact upon earnings, the consequent dilution to shareholders, and other criteria relating to long term performance of the company. The Committee&#146;s recommendations are also guided by the research of its compensation
consultant, including benchmarking of similarly situated companies as to the prevalence of equity awards and total compensation among senior executives. In addition, the Committee maintains a relatively continuous discourse with the Chief Executive
Officer on both the performance and the expectations of senior management. Through this process, the Committee selects grant dates and recommends awards that are perceived to be of value, that are consistent with those made by our peers, that have a
reasonable financial impact on the Company, that are not unreasonably dilutive, and that are warranted by the Company&#146;s and executives&#146; performance. The Committee is mindful of avoiding grants while in possession of material non-public
information and, with respect to option grants in particular, pursuant to the Company&#146;s 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, sets the strike price of the grant to be the closing price of the Company&#146;s common stock as of the date of the award.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company is currently reviewing potential equity ownership guidelines for all of its executives. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We do take into account the accounting and tax treatments for the Company of all forms of compensation. For example, in order to maximize the
Company&#146;s ability to deduct the executive compensation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (&#147;IRC&#148;) Section 162(m), we have historically limited the number of Incentive Stock Option awards given to an individual in a
given year to those having a fair market value of under $100,000. Further, under the terms of the Change of Control Agreements, benefits paid thereunder will be reduced to the extent that they would constitute a nondeductible &#147;excess parachute
payment&#148; under IRC Section 280G or nondeductible &#147;employee remuneration&#148; under Section 162(m). We follow all applicable accounting rules and tax laws in respect of all forms of compensation; for example, we expense options and stock
awards. Because the timing of this expense depends upon the vesting of these equity awards, we set vesting schedules to optimize deferring costs into the future. In making equity awards, we do consider the tax impact upon the recipient. </FONT></P>

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Compensation Committee retains considerable discretion to structure and adjust compensation with respect to both individuals and executives as a
group. We do not follow a formulaic approach toward setting compensation. While formulaic approaches do tend to lead to greater certainty in results, they can also have unintended consequences. It is very difficult to capture in a formula all of the
factors that should be taken into account when setting or adjusting compensation. We believe that, in making compensation decisions, it is important to consider not only corporate performance, but also individual performance and further, that
corporate performance should be considered in the context of the industry. Thus, for example, if company performance was behind plan in a down market, but the executive team performed well, rather than make no incentive awards, the Compensation
Committee might adjust the incentive pool downward and make reduced awards to executives. Conversely, if company performance was ahead of plan in a solid market, but certain executives were not contributing, then the Committee might reduce awards to
those certain individuals. The Compensation Committee has used discretion to make lower bonus awards to executives who have, in that committee&#146;s estimation, underperformed, and has made higher bonus awards to executives who have exceeded
individual performance expectations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Chief Executive Officer defines performance goals for his direct reports (which include all of
the other named executive officers) and, working with the board and the management team, defines financial performance goals for the Company. These goals serve as the foundation upon which the Compensation Committee can build a compensation scheme
in keeping with other information, including studies performed by the Committee&#146;s compensation consultant as well as its own research and experience. Throughout the year, the Committee maintains an open dialogue with the CEO with respect to
compensation philosophy, changing business conditions, and executive performance. Further, annually, the CEO provides the Committee with recommendations for defining the incentive pool and allocating that pool among employees generally. The CEO
serves as a source of information for the Committee, and, in making its own decisions, the Committee does give consideration to the CEO&#146;s recommendations. However, the Committee makes independent decisions with respect to compensation and
freely draws upon all sources that it deems necessary for guidance in making those decisions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">With respect to evaluating the
corporation&#146;s performance, the Company considers several factors. First, we consider top and bottom line performance, specifically in terms of net sales and earnings per share. Specifically, we observe whether we have grown net sales and net
earnings with respect to the prior year, the past several years, and the budget contained within the Company&#146;s financial plan. Second, we look at the relative performance of each of our product lines and compare that performance to each product
line budget. Third, we consider the relative performance of our company, particularly net sales and net earnings, with that of our peer companies. Fourth, we analyze whether we have met our strategic goals. </FONT></P> <P

Under the terms of those agreements, the employee is entitled to receive certain payments in the event that there is a change of control during the term of agreement and such employee is either terminated (for reasons other than cause) or resigns
for good reason. If the employee is terminated for cause or due to death or disability, he is not entitled to severance under the agreement. Provided the conditions for payment are met, employee is entitled to receive a lump sum amount equal to two
years&#146; base salary, 24 months&#146; worth of COBRA coverage for medical insurance, executive level outplacement costs, and acceleration of unvested options (or other securities to which employee may have a right). For purposes of these
agreements, &#147;change in control&#148; is defined to mean, in effect, either (i) a merger or consolidation of the Company in which those who were shareholders immediately before the effective time of the merger or consolidation have less than 50%
of the voting power of the new corporation or entity; (ii) a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company&#146;s assets; or (iii) when any person (as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
directly or indirectly owns more than 50% of the common stock of the Company. As a condition to payment, the employee must enter into a written release of claims against the Company. </FONT></P> <P

acquisitions. The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (&#147;SFAS&#148;) No.&nbsp;142, &#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.&#148; Under the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;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 at least annually, 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. Fair value is
typically estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, which requires the Company to estimate the future cash flows anticipated to be generated by the particular asset(s) being tested for impairment as well as selecting a discount rate to
measure the present value of the anticipated cash flows. When determining future cash flow estimates, the Company considers historical results adjusted to reflect current and anticipated operating conditions. Estimating future cash flows requires
significant judgment by the Company in such areas as future economic conditions, industry-specific conditions, product pricing and necessary capital expenditures. The use of different assumptions or estimates for future cash flows could produce
different impairment amounts (or none at all) for long-lived assets, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. There were no impairment losses for the year ended December 31, 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as
equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent&#146;s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS
160 clarifies that changes in a parent&#146;s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains it controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a
parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded
disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is
prohibited. The Company is evaluating the adoption of SFAS 160 and its impact on the Company&#146;s consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. This statement was effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December&nbsp;15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 158 did not

interpretation of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;109, <I>Accounting for Income Taxes</I>. FIN&nbsp;48 requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not
(i.e.&nbsp;a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of
being realized upon ultimate settlement. Upon adoption, the cumulative effect of applying the recognition and measurement provisions of FIN&nbsp;48, if any, shall be reflected as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. FIN&nbsp;48
requires that subsequent to initial adoption a change in judgment that results in subsequent recognition, derecognition or change in a measurement of a tax position taken in a prior annual period (including any related interest and penalties) be
recognized as a discrete item in the period in which the change occurs. Currently, we record such changes in judgment, including audit settlements, as a component of the Company&#146;s income tax provision. Thus, the Company&#146;s reported
quarterly income tax rate may become more volatile. This change will not impact the manner in which we record income tax expense on an annual basis. FIN&nbsp;48 also requires expanded disclosures including identification of tax positions for which
it is reasonably possible that total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months, a description of tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdiction, a tabular reconciliation of the
total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning and end of each annual reporting period, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate and the total amounts of interest and
penalties recognized in the statements of operations and financial position. FIN&nbsp;48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2006. The standard did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In December 2006, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with a syndicate of commercial lenders led by the Company&#146;s primary bank as the administrative agent and a lender
along with six other banks, for a $165,000 secured credit facility. This credit facility replaced the Company&#146;s previous Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with its primary bank and syndicate of other commercial lenders. The new credit
facility consists of a $75,000 revolving line of credit, $60,000 term loan and an accordion term feature of $30,000. These loans bear interest at the prime rate (&#147;Prime Rate Loans&#148;), or at the Company&#146;s option, a fixed rate of
interest offered by the Bank (such as adjusted LIBOR rate plus certain margins, in each case dependent on certain debt ratios (&#147;Eurodollar Rate Loans&#148;)). The principal payments of the term loan are payable in equal quarterly installments
of $1,000 on or before the last business day of each March, June, September and December, commencing March&nbsp;31, 2007 through December&nbsp;31, 2009, and in equal quarterly installments of $2,000 on or before the last business day of each March,
June, September and December, commencing March&nbsp;31, 2010 through September&nbsp;30, 2013. One final installment in the amount necessary to repay the remaining outstanding principal balance of the term loan is due in full on the maturity date.
Interest accruing on Prime Rate Loans is payable monthly. Interest accruing on the Eurodollar Rate 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 December&nbsp;15, 2011 and term loan matures on December&nbsp;15, 2013. These loans contain certain covenants
(with which the Company is in compliance) as defined in the agreement. The Company had $75,000 of availability under its revolving line of credit as of December&nbsp;31, 2007. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P

realized in the normal course of business. Undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for United States federal and state income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon

evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes.

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AMVAC and the Company were served with complaints in February 1997. The actions were filed in the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit, State of Hawaii
entitled <I>Board of Water Supply of the County of Maui v.&nbsp;Shell Oil Co., et. al.</I> The suit named as defendants the Company, AMVAC, Shell Oil Company, The Dow Chemical Company, Occidental Chemical Company, Occidental Petroleum Corporation,
Occidental Chemical Corporation, and Brewer Environmental Industry, Inc. Maui Pineapple Company was joined as a cross-defendant. The Complaint alleged that between two and four of the Board&#146;s wells had been contaminated with DBCP in excess of
the maximum contaminant level (&#147;MCL&#148;). In addition, the Board of Water Supply contended that future wells may exceed the MCL level and would need remediation. On August&nbsp;2, 1999, a global settlement was reached, which included the
remediation of the existing contaminated wells in addition to the installation of filtration devices on other wells for the next forty years on the island of Maui. The cash settlement was three million dollars ($3,000,000) of which AMVAC&#146;s (and
the Company&#146;s) portion was five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000). The settlement agreement obligates the defendants to pay for the installation of filtration devices on other wells that become contaminated later and for the ongoing operation
and maintenance of the filtration devices for up to forty years. The annual costs of operation and maintenance per well is estimated to be approximately sixty-nine thousand dollars ($69,000), to be adjusted annually by the consumer price index. The
obligations of the defendants under this agreement are secured by a twenty million-dollar letter of credit obtained by Dow Chemical. In connection with the settlement, in October 2005, AMVAC paid for a share of a permanent filtration system in the
amount of $222,198. In June 2007, AMVAC paid $23,654 for its share of operations and maintenance expenses for 2005 and 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In October 1997, AMVAC was served with a Complaint(s) in which it was named as a defendant, filed in the Circuit Court, First Circuit, State of Hawaii and
in the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit, State of Hawaii (two identical suits) entitled <I>Patrickson, et. al. v. Dole Food Co., et. al</I> (&#147;Patrickson Case&#148;) alleging damages sustained from injuries caused by plaintiffs&#146; exposure
to DBCP while applying the product in their native countries. Other named defendants are: Dole Food Co., Dole Fresh Fruit, Dole Fresh Fruit International, Pineapple Growers Association of Hawaii, Shell Oil Company, Dow Chemical Company, Occidental
Chemical Corporation, Standard Fruit Company, Standard Fruit&nbsp;&amp; Steamship, Standard Fruit Company De Costa Rica, Standard Fruit Company De Honduras, Chiquita Brands, Chiquita Brands International, Martrop Trading Corporation, and Del Monte
Fresh Produce. (American Vanguard Corporation has not been sued in these actions.) The ten named plaintiffs are citizens of four countries&#151;Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, and Ecuador. Punitive damages are sought against each defendant. The
plaintiffs were banana workers and allege that they were exposed to DBCP in applying the product in their native countries. The case was also filed as a class action on behalf of other workers so exposed in these four countries. The plaintiffs
allege sterility and other injuries. The suits were removed to federal court and for the last several years, the focus of the case has been on procedural issues, including the dismissal of the case based on the doctrine of forum non conveniens. This
doctrine would require the plaintiffs to pursue their claims in their native countries. On April&nbsp;22, 2003, the United States Supreme Court issued a decision on the procedural posture of the case, holding there was no jurisdiction in federal
court and remanded the case to state court. Starting in early 2004, there had been no activity in the case for about two years. However, a status conference was held on June&nbsp;1, 2006 at the request of the plaintiffs&#146; attorneys, who
expressed a desire to pursue the class action aspect or add other individuals. Plaintiffs&#146; counsel now claims that his class members will include workers from mainland U.S. and other countries. On September&nbsp;12, 2006, the court ordered the
transfer of venue from Maui County to Oahu. The court held a status conference on April&nbsp;16, 2007 and tentatively set the case for trial for February&nbsp;16, 2009. The plaintiffs were requested to file a preliminary motion for class
certification but have not done so to date. All parties expect that the case will not be certified as a class action as a matter of law, but the plaintiffs&#146; attorney then wants to add several thousand other individuals as plaintiffs here or in
some other action. No discovery has taken place on the individual claims of the plaintiffs. Without such discovery, it is unknown whether any of the plaintiffs was exposed to AMVAC brand DBCP, what are the actual injuries, or what statute of
limitation defenses may apply. AMVAC intends to contest the cases vigorously. However, it is too early to provide an assessment as to the probability of an unfavorable outcome in these matters. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Further, the plaintiffs&#146; attorneys reported that the ten plaintiffs filed suit in their home countries in 1998, based on the prior order of forum
non conveniens, alleging damages in excess of two million United States dollars ($2,000,000) per plaintiff. The suit in Guatemala was served on AMVAC in March 2001, but no defendant has been required to answer. Suits in the other countries have not
been served. AMVAC has engaged local attorneys in the countries to defend these foreign suits. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I><U>Adams v. Dole Food Co. et al </U></I>

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In May 1996, AMVAC was served with five complaints in which it is named as a defendant. (These complaints were filed by the same attorneys representing the Patrickson plaintiffs in Hawaii.) The complaints are brought
by plaintiffs Edgar Arroyo-Gonzalez, Eulogio Garzon-Larreategui, ValentinValdez, Amilcar Belteton-Rivera, and Carlos Nicanor Espinola-E against one or more of the following named defendants: Coahoma Chemical Co. Inc., Shell Oil Company, Dow Chemical
Co., Occidental Chemical Co., Standard Fruit Co., 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 a Central American country) exposure to DBCP while
applying the product in their native countries. These cases were 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&nbsp;19, 2001, the court issued an unpublished decision, finding that there was jurisdiction in federal court, but remanded just one case (Espinola) back to the trial court based on a stipulation which
limited the plaintiff&#146;s recovery to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). No activity has taken place on this matter since 2001. Without discovery, it is unknown whether this plaintiff was exposed to the Company&#146;s product or what defenses may
apply. AMVAC intends to contest the cases vigorously. It is too early to provide an evaluation of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in this case. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

filed in 1996, but they were not served until November 1999. Following a dismissal of most of the plaintiffs from the action (in light of the fact that they had previously settled their claims in other actions), the complaints, with Soriano as the
lead case, allege personal injuries to about 314 persons (167 from Ecuador, 102 from Costa Rica, and 45 from Guatemala) from alleged exposure to DBCP (punitive damages are also sought). With the United States Supreme Court holding there was no
federal court jurisdiction in the Patrickson case, the federal court judge remanded the cases to Louisiana state court in June 2003. In state court, the three cases were assigned to two different judges. On November&nbsp;17, 2006, the state court
separated the cases handled by attorney Scott Hendler from the cases being pursed only against the growers handled by different counsel. Subsequently, the cases against the growers were settled and all those actions were dismissed. The cases handled
by Mr.&nbsp;Hendler were supposed to be placed in a new action, which was not done. After a hearing on January&nbsp;29, 2008, the court ruled on February&nbsp;8, 2008 that these plaintiffs could still proceed in the existing cases rather than in a

Los Angeles County, California, claiming personal injuries from alleged exposure to DBCP while working on banana plantations in their home country. The named defendants are Dole Food Company, Inc., Dole Fresh Fruit Company, Standard Fruit Company,
Standard Fruit and Steamship Company, Dow Chemical Company, and AMVAC Chemical Corporation. American Vanguard was not named as a defendant. Punitive damages were also sought against all defendants. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The plaintiffs, all field workers, claim personal injuries for complete sterility (azoospermia) or in one case, severely reduced sperm count. They claim
exposure from working on banana plantations in Nicaragua from dermal contact with DBCP and inhalation of vapors. The plaintiffs also claimed exposure to DBCP in groundwater that they ingested, but testing of wells in October 2005 did not reveal the
presence of any DBCP contamination and this claim of exposure through groundwater was dropped. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AMVAC was served with the complaint on
April&nbsp;12, 2004 and filed an answer on May&nbsp;5, 2004. On May&nbsp;6, 2004, Dow Chemical removed the case from state court to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The case was subsequently remanded to state
court. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On September&nbsp;2, 2004, the plaintiffs were permitted to file an amended complaint that dropped seven plaintiffs and added 18
others, so that there were a total of 36 plaintiffs. Since that time, 18 plaintiffs have been dismissed, four others who have not yet obtained U.S. visas to come to the United States for their depositions, and one making a cancer related claim have
been transferred to the <I>Mejia </I>case listed below, reducing the total to 13. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In March 2007, AMVAC settled with the 13 plaintiffs for
a total of $300,000 without any admission of liability. The case proceeded to a jury trial against the Dole Food and Dow Chemical defendants in July 2007 for 12 plaintiffs as one was transferred to the <I>Mejia </I>case. On November 5, 2007, the
jury found for the defendants on the claims of six of the plaintiffs and found for the plaintiffs on the other six for a total award of approximately $3.3 million. For five of the six plaintiffs, the jury allocated 80% of the liability to Dole on
fraudulent concealment and strict liability causes of action and 20% to Dow (and 40% on the other plaintiff) on strict products liability. In further deliberations, the same jury awarded $500,000 in punitive damages to each of five plaintiffs as
against the Dole entities for fraudulent concealment for a total of an additional $2.5 million. Motions for new trial are pending. On March 7, 2008, the trial court in Tellez granted Dole&#146;s motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict as to
punitive damages thereby reversing the award of punitive damages ($2.5 million) against Dole. In reaching its decision, the court found that any award of punitive damages as against Dole would be violative of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment as the claimed injuries to plaintiffs and Dole&#146;s acts occurred outside of California. As this case impacts the other DBCP suits, the Company is monitoring these developments. </FONT></P> <P

The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages against each defendant. The suit has been assigned to the same judge for case management and trial as in the <I>Tellez</I> matter. These plaintiffs allege that they were all

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In prior descriptions of pending litigation and other matters, several suits filed in Nicaragua in January 2003 on behalf of banana workers claiming
exposure to DBCP were mentioned. It was reported that AMVAC had been named in these suits, but was not served with the complaints. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In May
2005, two suits filed in Nicaragua in 2004 were received that name AMVAC, The Dow Chemical Company, Dole Food Co., Dole Fresh Fruit, and Standard Fruit Company. The two suits for personal injuries for sterility and reduced sperm counts have been
filed on behalf of a total of 15 banana workers: <I>Flavio Apolinar Castillo et al. v. AMVAC Chemical Corporation et al.</I>, No.&nbsp;535/04 and <I>Luis Cristobal Martinez Suazo et al. v. AMVAC Chemical Corporation et al.</I>, No.&nbsp;679/04. In
December 2005, AMVAC received six additional, similar lawsuits filed on behalf of a total of 30 plaintiffs. These plaintiffs each claim $1 million in special and general damages and $5 million in punitive damages. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AMVAC has retained an attorney in Nicaragua and understands that the receipt of these eight suits constitutes first notice and an invitation to attend
mediation. All but one of these suits is based on Nicaraguan Public Law 364 issued in October 2000 that is directed solely at DBCP and requires the posting of a $100,000 bond, sets forth a lessened standard of proof to show that the claimed injuries
are due to DBCP, and establishes an unreasonable amount of minimum compensation for injuries. This law also provides that there is no statute of limitations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On January&nbsp;25, 2006, AMVAC was served with the Flavio Apolinar Castillo and Luis Cristobal Martinez Suazo suits listed above. In March 2006, counsel in Nicaragua filed objections to jurisdiction over Amvac in
these two cases. The court finally ruled on all the defendants&#146; objections on March&nbsp;20, 2007 by denying each objection to jurisdiction. Appeals are pending at the appellate level in Nicaragua. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A review of court filings in Chinandega, Nicaragua, by local counsel has found 85 suits filed pursuant to Public Law 364 that name AMVAC and include
approximately 3,592 plaintiffs. However, only the two <I>Castillo </I>and <I>Suazo</I> cases have been served on Amvac . Each of these plaintiffs claims $1 million in special and general damages and $5 million in punitive damages. It is anticipated
that the plaintiffs&#146; attorneys will continue to file additional actions on a monthly basis in Nicaragua. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In an earlier round of suits
brought in Nicaragua against Dow, Shell, and Standard Fruit only, the Nicaragua court issued judgments for $490 million in December 2002 based on claims of 583 banana workers, despite defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and the
unconstitutionality of Public Law 364. It has been reported that in 2003, the United States District Court in Los Angeles refused to enforce these judgments on the basis that the judgments did not properly name the defendants. The U.S. District
Court did not reach the issue of due process under Public Law 364. An appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is pending. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

litigated in the United States. Thus far, it appears that the Nicaraguan courts have denied all requests of other defendants under Law 364 that allow the defendants the option of consenting to jurisdiction in the United States. It is not presently
known as to how many of these plaintiffs actually claim exposure to DBCP at the time AMVAC&#146;s product was allegedly used nor is there any verification of the claimed </FONT>

plaintiff claims bodily injuries from exposure to DBCP while residing or working on banana or pineapple plantations in that country from the 1970s to the present. The suits name AMVAC, Dow Chemical, Shell Oil Company, and Dole Food as defendants.
All these suits also seek punitive damages, and the action filed in federal court alleges a claim under the Alien Tort Claims Act, alleging that the sale and use of DBCP amounted to genocide in the Ivory Coast. AMVAC did not sell any DBCP into the

case management judge as in the <I>Tellez</I> and <I>Mejia</I> suits in May 2007. Limited discovery has been permitted to focus on preliminary issues as to which DBCP product was used in the Ivory Coast and which defendants, if any, belong in these

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia No.&nbsp;1:06-CV-1770-CAP, in which a class of Georgia plaintiffs seek damages, including
punitive damages, in an unspecified amount for personal injuries and diminution in property value allegedly arising from the airborne release of propyl mercaptan and ethoprop from a waste treatment facility operated by PSC Recovery Services
(&#147;PSC&#148;) in Fairburn, Georgia. Plaintiffs, residents living in the vicinity of the PSC plant, allege trespass, nuisance and negligence on behalf of defendants in handling, storing and treating waste which was generated by AMVAC&#146;s Axis,
Alabama facility. After having completed class certification discovery, and prior to a ruling from the court on certification of the class, the parties engaged in mediation on September&nbsp;19, 2007 before a neutral mediator. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Working in conjunction with their insurance carriers at the mediation, defendants AMVAC and PSC have agreed in principle to settle the matter with a
settlement class of approximately 2,000 households for payment of cash consideration. The settlement process involves multiple steps to be taken over several months and requires both preliminary and final court approval. As currently proposed, the
settlement would not have an adverse effect upon the Company&#146;s financial performance. However, the settlement is not yet final, members of the settlement class remain free to opt out of the settlement and to preserve their individual rights,
and it is not anticipated that the settlement will include mutual releases between co-defendants. In addition, each co-defendant&#146;s insurance carrier has reserved all rights under applicable insurance policies, including rights to subrogation
and contribution. On a related note, on April&nbsp;16, 2007, AMVAC executed a draft consent order (including an agreement to pay a civil penalty with the option to perform a supplemental environmental project in partial payment thereof) with the
Alabama Department of Environmental Management (&#147;ADEM&#148;) for resolution of alleged violations of hazardous waste regulations arising from AMVAC&#146;s storage of washwater and other materials that were returned to AMVAC by PSC in connection
with activities that are the subject of the <I>McLendon</I> litigation; the consent order has been finalized, and ADEM has approved AMVAC&#146;s proposed supplemental environmental project. </FONT></P> <P

for preliminary injunction by Aceto Agricultural Chemicals Corporation (&#147;Aceto&#148;) in a matter entitled <I>Aceto Agricultural Chemicals Corporation v. AMVAC Chemical Corporation,</I> which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division as Case No.&nbsp;1:07-CV-1236-CC. In this action, plaintiff seeks damages and injunctive relief for alleged antitrust violations arising from AMVAC&#146;s purchase of the patent relating to the EZ
Load<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> closed delivery system. Aceto, which has sold a generic version of the insecticide phorate through the EZ Load system, was licensee under a license with the former patent holder which
permitted Aceto to use the EZ Load system through August&nbsp;1, 2007. Aceto seeks, among other things, to enjoin AMVAC from asserting its patent rights following the expiration of Aceto&#146;s license. AMVAC believes that this case has no merit and
plans to defend it vigorously. The hearing on plaintiff&#146;s motion for a preliminary injunction concluded on October&nbsp;26, 2007, and, on December&nbsp;17, 2007, the court entered an order under which is denied plaintiff&#146;s motion for
preliminary injunction, finding that Aceto had not met its burden of establishing a likelihood of success on the merits of any claim. Plaintiff has filed a notice of appeal of the court&#146;s order. It is too early in this case, however, to make an
assessment of the likelihood of there being an adverse judgment against AMVAC or whether such judgment could have an adverse effect upon the Company&#146;s financial performance. </FONT></P> <P

Facility into its Expedited Remedial Action Program (&#147;ERAP&#148;). Under this program, the Facility must prepare and implement an environmental investigation plan. Depending on the findings of the investigation, the Facility may also be
required to develop and implement remedial measures to address any historical environmental impairment. The environmental investigation and any remediation activities related to ten underground storage tanks at the Facility, which had been closed in

Potential remediation activities may be initiated in 2008 or 2009. These investigation and potential remediation activities are required at all facilities that currently have, or in the past had, hazardous waste storage permits. Because AMVAC
previously held a hazardous waste management permit, AMVAC is subject to these requirements. It is uncertain whether the cost associated with the potential remediation activities will have a material impact on the Company&#146;s financial

engaged in a willful or grossly negligent failure to perform duties as an Executive or officer of American Vanguard (other than as a result of incapacity due to disability), (ii)&nbsp;has committed an act of dishonesty, gross carelessness, or other
misconduct in connection with his duties under this Agreement, (iii)&nbsp;has committed any act or series of acts without the Board of Directors&#146; consent which would likely have a direct, substantial and adverse effect on American Vanguard, its
business or reputation, (iv)&nbsp;has engaged in habitual misuse of alcohol or any non-prescription drug or intoxicant which has adversely effected the performance of his duties under this Agreement, or (v)&nbsp;conviction in a criminal proceeding
against Executive involving a felony (collectively &#147;Cause&#148;). In the event of termination of Executive&#146;s employment for Cause, all rights of Executive (and his spouse and children) under Section&nbsp;3, 4 and 5 shall cease as of the
date of such termination. If termination is &#147;for cause&#148; under this section, the Board of Directors shall, within seven days of such termination provide written notice to Executive of all contractual basis for such termination, and a
general statement of the facts allegedly supporting such termination for cause. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(b) <U>Termination Due to Death or
Disability</U>. If Executive, due to physical or mental disability or incapacity, is unable substantially to perform his duties hereunder, American Vanguard, at its sole discretion, shall have the right to terminate Executive&#146;s employment
hereunder on thirty (30)&nbsp;days&#146; prior written notice. If Executive is able to and recommences rendering services and performing his duties hereunder within such thirty (30)-day notice period, such notice shall be vitiated. In addition, in
the event of Executive&#146;s death or disability, Executive or his personal representatives shall be entitled to receive all earned but unpaid compensation through the date of termination of Executive&#146;s employment (on a prorated basis). In
addition, in the event of Executive&#146;s death or disability, Executive of his personal representatives shall be entitled to receive all earned but unpaid compensation up to and including the date of termination of Executive&#146;s employment and
one full year thereafter. Nothing in this section shall affect or offset employee&#146;s right to receive payment pursuant to a disability insurance policy or state/federal disability payments. The Company further agrees that as a part of
Executive&#146;s compensation hereunder, it shall continue to provide for the term of this Agreement, for Executive&#146;s benefit a disability insurance policy at least equal to that coverage currently in place. </FONT></P> <P
