<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">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 STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Generally, the treatment against pests of any kind is
broad in scope, there being more than one way or one product for treatment, eradication, or 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

Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (&#147;FIFRA&#148;) legislation that makes it unlawful to sell any pesticide in the United States unless such 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 registration 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 $3,410, $2,013 and $2,884 during 2008, 2007 and 2006 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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

previously held a hazardous waste management permit, AMVAC is subject to these requirements. At this stage, the extent of further investigation and potential remediation activities is uncertain. Further, it is uncertain whether the cost associated

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 that would adversely affect our profitability. While FIFRA Good Laboratory Practice standards specify the minimum practices and procedures that must be followed in order

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

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. On September&nbsp;12, 2006, the state 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 filed a preliminary motion for class certification, which was denied by the court on June&nbsp;4, 2008. The plaintiffs&#146; attorney has advised that he wants to add
several thousand other individuals as plaintiffs here or in some other action, but has not attempted to do so thus far. Discovery has just begun and two of the plaintiffs have stated that they no longer wish to be parties. The court rescheduled the
trial to commence on January&nbsp;19, 2010. It is unknown whether any of the plaintiffs were 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.
Defendants intend to schedule depositions of the plaintiffs in the near future. At this stage, the Company believes that, while possible, a loss is neither probable, nor reasonably estimable and, accordingly, it has not accrued a loss contingency
therefor. </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

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.

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. At this stage, the Company believes that, while possible, a loss is neither probable nor reasonably estimable and, accordingly, it has not accrued a loss

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

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On March&nbsp;26, 2004, 25 plaintiffs, all residents of Nicaragua, filed suit in state court in 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. 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">In March 2007, AMVAC settled with the 13 remaining plaintiffs for a total of $300,000 without any admission of liability. This settlement was approved by the court on April&nbsp;24, 2007. 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&nbsp;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. On
March&nbsp;7, 2008, the trial court granted Dole&#146;s motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict as to punitive damages thereby reversing the award of punitive damages of $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. The court also reversed the
finding of strict products liability against Dole. Both sides have filed appeals. 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 are ultimately successful in this action, it is likely that other banana workers from Nicaragua will file suit in California. </FONT></P> <P

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;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 (which plaintiffs in
these cases have waived), 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. </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"
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.
Presently pending before the U.S. District Court in Miami, Florida, is an enforcement action against Dole and Dow for the $97 million judgment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On May&nbsp;30, 2008, an action entitled <I>Kurt Shenkel and Carol Ann Shenkel v. Western
Exterminator Company, et al</I>. [<I>including AMVAC Chemical Corporation]</I> was filed with the Superior Court of the State of California, Central District as Case No. BC391795, in which plaintiff Kurt Shenkel, who worked as a landscaper and
gardener in Southern California between 1967 and 2007, alleges that he suffered personal injury&#151;specifically, Parkinson&#146;s disease&#151;from toxins in the several dozen herbicides and pesticides (including AMVAC&#146;s Vapam) distributed
and sold by the 29 co-defendants during plaintiff&#146;s work history. Plaintiff alleges negligence, strict liability, breach of implied warranty and loss of consortium by defendants for which he seeks compensatory and punitive damages in
unspecified amounts, AMVAC believes that the action has no merit and intends to defend it vigorously. Defendants have filed numerous demurrers and motions to dismiss with the court, which, in turn, has stayed consideration of such motions for the
time being. At this point, the Company believes that, while possible, a loss in this matter is neither probable nor reasonably estimable, and, accordingly, it has not accrued a loss contingency therefor. </FONT></P> <P

offset by a number of factors. We experienced lower demand for our cotton insecticide Bidrin<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT>, driven by reduced cotton acres under cultivation in the USA. Our granular corn soil
insecticide products underperformed compared to 2007&#151;as a result of very adverse weather conditions which persisted during the Midwest planting season. Furthermore, sales of our leading corn herbicide product Impact<FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> have been lower in 2008&#151;as some key distributors managed inventory levels through the 2008 season. Sales improved in the last few months of 2008, but did not make up for the slow start to the year. Industry
field data shows that actual on-the-ground applications of Impact applied during 2008 have been very strong. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our cost of sales for 2008
was $136,407 or 57% of sales. This compared to $120,932 or 56% of sales for the same period in 2007. Raw material prices have moved dramatically during the year, increasing significantly in the first half of the year and declining in the second half
of the year. Major cost movements&#151;both up and down&#151;have been seen in raw materials based on petroleum, sulfur and phosphorus. We have worked hard to manage this exposure with focused inventory purchasing decisions and entering into
favorable long-term purchase commitments. In addition, we have instituted some selective product line selling price increases. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During the
latter part of 2007 we acquired our manufacturing facility in Hannibal, MO, and then in the early part of 2008, we acquired our facility in Marsing, ID. These facilities previously provided product for the company. Also, during 2008 we have carried
out some third party tolling activities. These activities are targeted at improving overall manufacturing asset utilization. The products identified for tolling contracts are based on chemistries that fit well with our manufacturing capabilities and
equipment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Finally, our new products Orthene, Turfside and Terraclor generate combined gross margins that are in line with our average

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s average overall indebtedness for 2008 increased by $8,040 to end at $86,657 as
compared to $78,617 for 2007. The company increased revolver debt to support a major capital investment in a Metam facility at our Axis plant and increased inventory levels. Our results have been favorably impacted by movement in the LIBOR rate
during 2008. LIBOR is the base for our syndicated borrowings and as can be seen from the table above, our effective interest rate was 4.6% in 2008 as compared to 7.0% in 2007. As also shown in the table, the Company had $329 in interest adjustments
in 2008, including capitalized interest of $254 and interest income of $75. In 2007, the Company had interest expenses adjustments of $244 including capitalized interest of $30 and interest income of $214. </FONT></P> <P

effective rate of 39% for 2007. The lower tax rate reflects the impact of our domestic manufacturing and greater costs incurred in R&amp;D activities during the year. (See note&nbsp;3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional analysis
of the changes in income tax expense.) </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Net income increased by $1,291 to end at $20,019 or $.73 per diluted share in 2008 compared to
$18,728 or $.68 per diluted share in 2007. This is a 7% year on year net income improvement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Weather patterns can have an impact on the
Company&#146;s operations. Weather conditions influence pest population by impacting gestation cycles for particular pests and the effectiveness of some of the Company&#146;s products, among other factors. The end user of some of the Company&#146;s
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 of the Company&#146;s products. During 2008, weather patterns had significant impact
as noted above. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

patterns, crop growing cycles, changes in product mix of sales, ordering patterns that may vary in timing, and promotional programs, measuring the Company&#146;s performance on a quarterly basis, (gross profit margins on a 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 FACE="Times New Roman"

and were 12% higher than sales for the same period in 2006 of $193,771. Our granular soil insecticides performed well driven by sales of new product line Counter and established brand Aztec, both of which had strong sales performances. In addition
our leading herbicide Impact and our fumigants product range both had exceptionally strong sales performances. Finally, our international sales continue to grow strongly. Led by soil fumigant products on vegetable crops in Mexico, Central and South
America; Thimet<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> and Counter<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> on corn and vegetables in Asia; and fungicide products in Canada, our international sales increased
strongly, ending 91% higher than the same period of 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:3px;line-height:95%; vertical-align:top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">These performances were
offset by a below expectation performance in our insecticides products particularly for our cotton insecticide Bidrin<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT>, This was driven by reduced cotton acres under cultivation in the USA.
Despite the continued reduction in our sales for this highly efficacious product line, our field reports indicate that our share is growing. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

third party tolling activities. This was a strong element of our performance in 2006 mainly driven by one toll manufacturing product. Despite a good start in 2006, this did not translate to significant sales in 2007. </FONT></P> <P

relatively stable during the year, although there was some price pressure on petroleum based materials towards the end of 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Gross

maintain a certain consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, (4)&nbsp;The Company must maintain a certain modified current ratio. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008 the Company met all the covenants listed above. This was the position as of

particularly in these current volatile times. The Company&#146;s main bank is Bank of the West, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the French bank, BNP Paribas. Bank of the West has been the Company&#146;s bank for more than 25 years. Bank of the West is
the syndication manager for the Company&#146;s loans and acts as the counterparty on the Company&#146;s derivative transactions. The Company reviews the creditworthiness of its banks on a quarterly basis via both credit agencies and face-to-face
meetings with senior management of the banks. Management believes that the Company has an excellent working relationship with Bank of the West and the other financial institutions in the Company&#146;s banking syndicate. In addition, we have
recently spoken directly to three of the lenders in the syndicate, all of which have expressed an appetite to support the Company with additional loan facilities, in the right circumstances. </FONT></P> <P

October&nbsp;10, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;)&nbsp;issued FSP FAS 157-3. This position paper seeks to clarify the application of FASB 157, <I>Fair Value Measurements</I>, in a market that is not active and
provides illustrative examples for determining fair value of a financial asset where the market for that financial asset is not active. This statement is effective on issuance. Currently, American Vanguard has no financial assets where there is
little or no market activity at the measurement date. Accordingly, we believe that this FSP has no applicability for the Company as at December&nbsp;31, 2008. We will reconsider the applicability of this statement should our business circumstances
change. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On September&nbsp;12, 2008, FASB issued FSP FAS 133-1. This FSP seeks to clarify the application of SFAS 133, <I>Accounting for

Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, requiring additional disclosures related to payment/risk. Finally, this FSP clarifies the effective date of SFAS 161, <I>Disclosure about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities</I>. It is effective for reporting periods (annual or interim) ending after November&nbsp;15, 2008. We have reviewed the position paper and concluded that we do not participate in the derivatives selling market,

November&nbsp;15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity&#146;s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged

instruments and hedge activities</I></B>&#151;In accordance with SFAS 133, <I>Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities</I>, the Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either other assets or other liabilities at fair or
market value on the balance sheet. In accordance with the hierarchy contained in SFAS No.&nbsp;157, <I>Fair Value Measurements </I>(&#147;SFAS 157&#148;), the Company calculated fair value using observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices
(Level 2). The Company has put in place as a hedge against the foreign currency exposure of a foreign currency denominated forecast purchase transaction. The Company re-evaluates the effectiveness of its derivative instruments using the dollar
offset ratio and the cumulative dollar offset method for ineffectiveness. These re-evaluations are performed at the end of each quarter. The Company also has in place two interest rate swap contracts that are accounted for under SFAS 133. The
Company qualifies for the short cut method for these swaps and performs quarterly re-evaluations to determine continued qualification for this method. Any gains or losses on derivative instruments that are deemed effective are taken as an adjustment
to other comprehensive income (loss). If any contracts are deemed ineffective, then gains and losses in those contracts are taken as an adjustment to operating income. As at December&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company&#146;s derivative instruments have been
tested and a charge of $174 has been taken to other income as a result. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets</I></B>&#151;The
primary identifiable intangible assets of the Company relate to product rights associated with its product 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 re-evaluates whether these intangible assets are
impaired on an annual basis , relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and future cash flows. Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to
that used to evaluate elements of property. The impairment test for identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization consisting 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. The Company has performed an
impairment review for the year ending December 2008 and there were no impairment losses recorded. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:18px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

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 easily 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 June 2008, 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, on average, 4 percent above the 50th percentile, executive bonuses were approximately 4 percent above the 50th
percentile for target bonuses, and total annual compensation (including salaries, incentive bonus, and equity awards) were approximately 3 percent below 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, Accordingly, 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 2008 we revisited the issue of individual performance standards and established revised annual 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, </FONT>

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">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

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 2008, 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 (dollar for dollar up to five percent (5%)&nbsp;of base salary) has a strong 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:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;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.

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&nbsp;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. Further, under the terms of the Change of Control Agreements, benefits paid there under will be reduced to the extent that they would constitute a nondeductible &#147;excess
parachute payment&#148; under IRC Section&nbsp;280G or nondeductible &#147;employee remuneration&#148; under Section&nbsp;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> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Compensation Policies and Benchmarking </I></B></FONT></P> <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 </FONT>

define 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">In making awards of performance-based compensation, the Compensation Committee considers historical trends for awards both in the aggregate and as per each executive under evaluation. Individual award trends tend to
put an executive&#146;s current performance in context. Thus, for example, if an executive has shown a pattern of increasingly smaller bonus awards versus his peers, the Committee will tend to question his long term suitability. Historical trends
relating to the overall bonus pool enable the Committee to define the pool with some consistency given past financial performance. </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
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">With respect to individual performance, without discussing more specific factors that are competition sensitive, we consider the following general
factors in making compensation decisions. We believe that the factors listed below as well as undisclosed, competition-sensitive factors are reasonable and attainable by our executives. Further, to the extent that any of these factors relate to the
Company&#146;s financial plan, we do not disclose such plan publicly; it is an internal document generated to give subject executives an incentive to achieve a desired level of financial performance. As such, our financial plan includes both
objective and subjective measures. Disclosure of our financial plan would potentially give our competitors an unfair view into our business and might be construed as financial guidance by our investors. We believe that it is reasonably possible for
the Company to achieve the Company&#146;s financial plan and, consequently, reasonably possible for President and Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President of Sales to meet performance factors relating to the achievement of that plan.

Change of Control Severance Agreement dated as of January&nbsp;1, 2004 and expiring December&nbsp;31, 2008. During its meeting of March&nbsp;7, 2008, the Corporation&#146;s Board of Directors authorized the Corporation to extend the term of those
agreements five years, that is, until December&nbsp;31, 2013. 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)&nbsp;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)&nbsp;a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the company&#146;s assets; or (iii)&nbsp;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 STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The company chose the three change of control events to protect these key executives in the event of new ownership. Our executive
team has helped to build this company over many years into what it is today. In recognition of the team&#146;s contribution, and out of a sense of fairness, we believe it is appropriate to make provision for the executive team in advance, given that
a new owner would not likely have any allegiance to the team. Further, these arrangements would give current management a disincentive to undercut an otherwise desirable merger and serve to quantify the cost of termination of subject executives for
any potential acquiror. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Compensation Committee Report </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

2008. During its meeting of March&nbsp;7, 2008, the Corporation&#146;s Board of Directors authorized the Corporation to extend the term of those agreements five years, that is, until December&nbsp;31, 2013. 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)&nbsp;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)&nbsp;a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company&#146;s assets; or (iii)&nbsp;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 STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

to employees and directors using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;123 (revised 2004), &#147;Share-Based Payment,&#148; (&#147;SFAS&nbsp;123(R)&#148;). When applying the provisions of SFAS 123(R), the Company also applies the

December&nbsp;31, 2005. In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 123(R) in 2006, the Company changed its method of attributing the value of stock-based compensation to expense from the accelerated multiple-option approach to the straight-line single
option method. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income for periods subsequent to December&nbsp;31, 2005 has been reduced for forfeiture as required by SFAS 123(R). Estimated forfeitures recognized in the
Company&#146;s Consolidated Statement of Income exceed actual forfeitures incurred at December&nbsp;31, 2008 by $18. The Company estimates that 8 percent of all restricted stock grants will be forfeited. Estimated forfeitures for option awards are
immaterial. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company had approximately $35 of unamortized stock-based compensation expenses related to

will be recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.6 years. This projected expense will change if any stock options and restricted stock are granted or cancelled prior to the respective reporting periods or if there are any changes required to

active and provides illustrative examples for determining fair value of a financial asset where the market for that financial asset is not active. This statement is effective on issuance. Currently, American Vanguard has no financial assets where
there is little or no market activity at the measurement date. Accordingly, we believe that this FSP has no applicability for the Company as at December&nbsp;31, 2008. We will reconsider the applicability of this statement should our business

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to require disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including embedded credit derivatives. Furthermore, the FSP amends FASB Interpretation No 45 (FIN 45), Guarantor&#146;s Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, requiring additional disclosures related to payment/risk. Finally, this FSP clarifies the effective date of SFAS 161, <I>Disclosure about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities</I>. It is effective for reporting periods (annual or interim) ending after November&nbsp;15, 2008. We have reviewed the position paper and conclude that we do not participate in the derivatives selling market, nor

the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (&#147;GAAP&#148;) in the United States (the
GAAP hierarchy). The objective of this standard is to ensure that the GAAP hierarchy is clearly directed to the entity because it is the entity (not its auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that
are presented in conformity with GAAP. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB and is issuing this Statement to achieve that result. The Company is currently

hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity&#146;s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years and interim periods beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity&#146;s financial statements; how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No.&nbsp;133, <I>Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities</I> (&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;133&#148;); and how derivative instruments and related hedged items

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
distribution of earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both United States income taxes (subject to adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries.
Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred United States income tax liability is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

first step is to 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

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

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. On
September&nbsp;12, 2006, the state 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 filed a
preliminary motion for class certification, which was denied by the court on June&nbsp;4, 2008. The plaintiffs&#146; attorney has advised that he wants to add several thousand other individuals as plaintiffs here or in some other action, but has not

testicular cancer due to DBCP exposure: <I>Adams v. Dole Food Co. et al</I> in the First Circuit for the State of Hawaii. The complaint was filed on June&nbsp;29, 2007 and names Dole Food Co,, Standard Fruit and Steamship Company, Dole 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

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. At this stage, the Company

filed suit in state court in 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. 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">In March 2007, AMVAC settled with the 13
remaining plaintiffs for a total of $300,000 without any admission of liability. This settlement was approved by the court on April&nbsp;24, 2007. 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&nbsp;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. On March&nbsp;7, 2008, the trial court granted
Dole&#146;s motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict as to punitive damages thereby reversing the award of punitive damages of $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. The court also reversed the finding of strict products liability against Dole.
Both sides have filed appeals. As this case impacts the other DBCP suits, the Company is monitoring these developments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

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

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

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,

and use of DBCP amounted to genocide in the Ivory Coast. AMVAC did not sell any DBCP into the Ivory Coast at any time and intends to defend these cases vigorously. Discovery has not yet begun in these cases. </FONT></P> <P

amounted to a fraudulent joinder of those defendants by plaintiffs to defeat federal jurisdiction. However, the federal court remanded all of those cases on its own motion back to state court. These state cases were reassigned to the same complex
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
cases. The plaintiffs&#146; attorney is unwilling to dismiss any defendant at this time. A further status conference is scheduled for April&nbsp;16, 2009. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

genocide and unlawful distribution of pesticide claims with prejudice, and dismissed the remaining claims with leave to amend. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in April 2007 regarding only the claims for relief for crimes against humanity
and racial discrimination and omitting the claims that the court had dismissed. Defendants jointly filed a motion to dismiss that was heard on May&nbsp;21, 2007 and was granted after being taken under submission. The plaintiffs appealed to the Ninth

Service Corporation etc. et al (including AMVAC), </I>which was filed in the Superior State Court of Fulton County, State of Georgia No.&nbsp;2006CN119863 and subsequently removed to the 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. Working in conjunction with their insurance carriers at the mediation, defendants AMVAC and PSC have agreed to settle the matter with a settlement class of approximately
2,000 households for payment of cash consideration of $4 million, which amount shall be divided evenly between co-defendants and paid by their respective insurance carriers. The cost of claims administration, class notice, plaintiffs&#146;
attorneys&#146; fees, and class relief will be paid out of the $4 million settlement fund. On September&nbsp;15, 2008, the court entered an order giving its preliminary approval of the class settlement. The class settlement notice was mailed to
class members the last week of October 2008. Class members had until January&nbsp;30, 2009 either (i)&nbsp;to submit the claim form required for a monetary payment from the settlement fund, or (ii)&nbsp;either to object to the settlement, or seek to
be excluded from the settlement. As of this date, approximately 850 class members have returned claim forms; the parties are reviewing forms for completeness and validity. The Court will consider final approval of the class settlement at a hearing
currently scheduled for April&nbsp;17, 2009, and we anticipate the Court will enter the final order approving the settlement on or shortly after that date. Payments to class members who complete a valid claim form will be made 45 days after final
approval of the settlement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As currently proposed, the settlement would not have an adverse effect upon the Company&#146;s financial
performance. Further, in light of the fact that the settlement is being paid through insurance, the Company does not believe that a loss to the Company is probable and has not set up a loss contingency therefor. 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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Toxic Substances Control (&#147;DTSC&#148;) accepted the 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

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. At this stage, the extent
of further investigation and potential remediation activities is uncertain. Further, it is uncertain whether the cost associated with such investigation and potential remediation activities will have a material impact on the Company&#146;s financial

hazardous waste longer than 90 days. Although this practice was discontinued several years prior, federal regulations require AMVAC to formally close out the permit. Formal regulatory closure actions began in 2005 and were completed in 2008, as
