2.   SALE OF NOTES WITH RECOURSE

          The Company at June 30, 1996 has a contingent liability of $2,830,000
     for customers' installment notes sold with recourse to the Chemi-Trol
     Chemical Company Profit Sharing Plan. The credit risk associated with these
     notes is minimal as the Company retains a security interest in the products
     sold on the installment basis.

3.   NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

          Net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of
     shares outstanding of 2,004,930, after giving retroactive effect to the 10%
     stock dividend issued in March of 1995. Shareholders' rights, which may
     have a potentially dilutive effect, have been excluded from the weighted
     average shares computation as conditions to the exercisability of such
     rights have not been satisfied.

SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1996, VS. SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

     The Company's earnings and revenues decreased from prior year record levels
for the second quarter ended June 30, 1996. Revenues decreased by 7.4% to $19.6
million while net income decreased by 50.9% to $358,000 or 18 cents per share.

     Revenues of the Tank Division decreased by 15.6% from prior year record
levels, while operating profits decreased by 53.8%. The decrease in revenues was
comprised of a 15.4% decrease in net sales and a 22.9% decrease in interest and
financing income.

                                      - 6 -


   7

     The Chemical Group's sales decreased by 12.1% while operating profit
decreased by 9.3%. The decrease in sales was comprised of a 17.9% decrease in
sales of the Contract Division and a 10.2% decrease in the sales of CADCO, the
materials sales division. Rainfall in the Company's prime market area was nearly
double the normal levels during the quarter and was largely responsible for the
decrease in sales.

     During the second quarter ended June 30, 1996, Cal-Van Tools revenues
increased by 14.3% to record levels, while cost of sales increased at a higher
rate of 22.5% causing margins to tighten. The disproportionate increase in cost
of sales was largely responsible for the 21.9% decrease in operating profit from
prior year second quarter levels. Selling and general administrative expenses
decreased by 5.9% during the quarter.

     Cory Orchard & Turf increased operating profits by 23.5% even though
revenues for the quarter were down 6.0% from prior year levels. Decreases in
cost of sales and divisional operating expenses which fell at higher rates of
7.8% and 6.4%, respectively, coupled to increase operating profits.

     For the Company as a whole, net sales decreased by 7.2%, while cost of
sales decreased by 4.4%, thus decreasing gross profits by 22.4%. During the
quarter selling expenses increased by 2.4%, while general and administrative
expenses decreased by 29.0%. The decrease in general and administrative
expenses was the result of lower bonus and profit sharing allocations at the
lower profit level. Interest and financing income decreased by 23.2%. Interest
expense increased by 28.6%, largely as a result of the increase in average
borrowings outstanding during the second quarter of 1996. For the quarter the
Company recorded net income of $358,222 or $.18 per share as compared to a
record net income of $729,594 or $.36 per share in 1995.


     FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1996 VS. FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1995

     For the six months ended June 30, 1996, revenues totaled $31.8 million
versus $35.7 million for the first half of 1995.

     The Tank Division, which during the first half of 1996 accounted for 42% of
the Company's revenues and 54% of the operating profit, saw revenues decrease by
18.6% over prior record levels and operating profit decrease by 50.5%. A
temporary slow-down in demand, caused in part by adverse weather across much of
the midwest, led to the decrease in revenues. The lower sales level, as well as
period costs associated with a production slow-down to adjust inventories, were
largely responsible for the first half decrease in operating profit of the
division.

                                      - 7 -


   8

     During the first half of 1996, the Chemical Group's revenues decreased by
21.8% while operating profit fell by a lessor 14.4%. The increase in gross
profit margins of .3% and reduction in selling and general administration
expenses of 26.3% were responsible for the disproportionate decrease in
operating profit.

     Cal-Van Tools sales rose by 16.8% to record levels of $8.9 million during
the first six months of 1996. Ongoing mergers and consolidations of customers in
this mature market have caused increases in sales and market share but at the
cost of reduced margins. Gross profit decreased by 9.2% and was largely
responsible for the 52.5% decrease in operating profit over the prior year six
month levels. Selling and general administrative expenses increased by 5.4%
during the six months.

     A very cold March and very wet April and May had a negative effect on first
half results of the Cory Orchard & Turf Division. First half 1996 sales
decreased by 12.3% while operating profits decreased by the lessor rate of 8.3%.
Improved margins were somewhat offset by selling and general administrative
expenses which were down by a disproportionate 8% to hold the decrease in
operating profit to 8.3%.

     For the Company as a whole, cost of sales decreased by 8.6%, somewhat less
than the 10.9% decrease in net sales, and resulted in tighter margins. During
the six months, selling expenses increased by 8.0% while general and
administrative expenses decreased by 21.7%. Interest income was down by 7.9%.
Interest expense increased by approximately 33.4%, largely as a result of the
increase in average borrowings outstanding during the first half of 1996. For
the period the Company recorded net income of $230,828 or $.12 per share as
compared to net income of $1,010,600 or $.50 per share in 1995. The effective
tax rate increased from 39.3% in 1995 to 42.6% in 1996, largely as a result of
the effects of comparable non-deductible expenses at the lower profit level.

     The Company remains optimistic and the general outlook appears strong for
the rest of the year. The Company believes that some of the work lost due to the
rainy-cold weather that hurt the first half can be made up in the second half of
the year.

                                   (continued)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Total working capital of the Company at June 30, 1996, was $14,914,883.
This is an increase of $484,167 over working capital of $14,430,716 at December
31, 1995. The working capital ratio has decreased from 1.89 to 1.64 over this
same period; however, the ratio of 1.64 to 1 indicates that the Company remains
in a satisfactory position to meet its short term obligations. The decrease in
the working capital ratio is primarily caused by the seasonal nature of the
Chemical Group operations.

     Due to the seasonal nature of the operations of the Chemical Group and
extended fall payment terms in the Tank and Cory Orchard & Turf Divisions, the
Company has an uneven cash flow pattern. Operations of the Chemical Group begin
approximately mid-April and run through November, resulting in an inventory and
accounts receivable build-up and additional expenditures for the purchase of
equipment and supplies, principally during May through July. Since the majority
of the contracts performed by this division are for political subdivisions and
the contracts stretch over the entire summer season, a high percentage of the
payments are not received until mid-October, making it necessary for the Company
to borrow short-term funds. For this reason, the Company has arranged a
short-term borrowing limit of $15.75 million through local banks. At June 30,
1996 and 1995, the Company had borrowings under these lines of credit of
$8,419,917 and $5,916,184, respectively.

     Long-term borrowings are primarily used to finance customers' installment
notes receivable and customers' sales-type leases of tanks sold by the Tank
Division. The total outstanding amount borrowed to finance notes receivable was
$7,083,490 and to finance sales-type leases was $2,222,437 at June 30, 1996. The
Company has a commitment from an area bank to provide long-term financing for
tank notes or leases extended to customers for an additional $7.5 million during
the current year, provided the combination of short-term borrowings outstanding
and current year long-term financing does not exceed $15.75 million.

     The capital expenditure budget for 1996 is $794,000. The Company intends to
make these expenditures with funds provided from operations.
