     SALES REVENUE

     Net sales revenue for the second quarter in fiscal 2001 was 5.6% higher
than in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 but was essentially unchanged when
the first six months of fiscal 2001 are compared with the same period of the
prior fiscal year. The improvement in the quarterly comparison was because
the Company began to make sales of its herbicide product line, MSMA, in the
second quarter of this fiscal year. The Company acquired the MSMA product
line in October 2000. The selling season for MSMA products is largely in the
last half of the Company's fiscal year. Net sales revenue from the Company's
wood treating products, however, was lower in both the second quarter and the
first six months of this fiscal year than in the comparable periods in
fiscal 2000. In particular, the Company has continued to experience lesser
creosote sales revenue due to deferral of railroad crosstie replacement by
major railroads. Management believes that demand for its wood treating
chemicals will remain soft during the remainder of fiscal 2001.

     GROSS PROFIT

     Gross profit for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2001
was approximately $137 thousand and $372 thousand less than in the same
periods of the prior fiscal year. The Company's gross profit margin was down
3.7% for the second quarter and down 2.0% for the first six months of this
fiscal year as compared to the


                                       6



last fiscal year. The decrease in gross profit margin is largely attributable
to the fact that in fiscal 2000 the Company benefitted from a combination of
lower raw material costs and higher penta production rates.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter and
for the first six months of fiscal 2001 were $179 thousand higher and
$57 thousand less than in that same periods of the prior fiscal year. However,
selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately 22% of net
sales revenue in both the first six months of this fiscal year and the first
six months of the last fiscal year.

     OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

     The improvement in other income and expense is attributable to the
combination of higher cash balances held by the Company during the second
quarter and the first six months of the current fiscal year, higher interest
rates realized on those cash balances during the early months of the current
fiscal year and a decline in interest paid on the Company's term loan.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     During the first six months of fiscal 2001, the Company invested
approximately $343 thousand in capital improvements. The Company also paid an
initial installment of $1.3 million to purchase the MSMA products line and
has accrued the second installment of $1 million, payable when the MSMA
products production equipment is delivered. These payments are being financed
out of the Company's working capital. The principal balance of the Company's
term loan with SouthTrust Bank of Alabama, National Association (SouthTrust)
was approximately $3.0 million as of January 31, 2000. As of that same date,
the Company had no borrowings under its revolving loan with SouthTrust but
its borrowing base availability under that loan was $3.5 million. In the
coming quarter, the Company will draw substantial amounts under the revolving
loan for working capital for the MSMA product line.
