NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
NOTE A - Basis of Presentation
- ------------------------------
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the requirements of Regulation S-X and Form 10-Q. The statements
reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for interim periods. For further information, refer to the audited
financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Operating results for the six months ended June 30 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the year due to the seasonal nature
of the Company's business.
Note B - Acquisition of Pro-Lawn Division of Agway, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------
In January 1996, the Company acquired for $11,268,000 certain assets of the
Pro-Lawn Division of Agway, Inc. in a cash transaction. These assets included
inventories ($7,098,000) and fixed assets ($170,000) along with Pro-Lawn's sales
organization, key administrative personnel, customer listings,
licenses/trademarks and supply/distribution agreements. The remaining $4,000,000
represents intangible assets which are being amortized over their useful lives.
Pro-Lawn's sales are primarily directed to customers in the northeastern United
States and consequently the acquisition allows the Company to increase its
market penetration, particularly to the golf course and governmental entity
marketplace. The acquisition was financed by the Company's credit facility.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
------------------------------------
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
For the second quarter ended June 30, 1996, sales increased 46.1% to
$104,444,000 from $71,465,000 in 1995. Sales for the first six months of 1996
increased 33.1% to $157,977,000 from $118,702,000 in 1995. Sales volumes for
both consumable and hard goods increased without significant price increases
compared to the previous year periods with Pro-Lawn sales contributing to the
consumable product increase. The Company increased its Service Centers in
operation to 196(which includes three golf Superstores) as of June 30, 1996
compared to 169 Service Centers in operation as of June 30, 1995. The addition
of the 23 Stores in 1996 concludes the 1996 expansion with a similar number of
openings planned in 1997. Same store sales for the second quarter and the first
six months of 1996 compared to 1995 increased 19.8% and 13.9%, respectively.
Gross profit as a percent of sales was 31.7% in second quarter 1996 compared to
33.9% in 1995 with the first six months gross profit as a percent of sales in
1996 being 32.3% compared to 33.5% in 1995. Gross profit margins increased for
fertilizer products which were offset by decreases in margins for turf
protection products for both the quarter and year-to-date. Pro-Lawn sales are
generally lower margin sales with the above periods reflecting the effects of
the lower margins on a year-to-year comparative basis.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 23.9% of sales in the
second quarter of 1996 compared to 26.6% in second quarter 1995 and 28.7% of
sales for the first six months of 1996 compared to 29.5% in 1995. This decrease
is due to the reduction of Service Center costs as a percent of sales for both
the second quarter and six months ended June 1996. The increase in Service
Center cost was $1,363,000 in the second quarter 1996 compared to 1995 and
$3,086,000 year-to-date 1996 compared to 1995. This reflects the increasing
leverage of Service Center operating costs in 1996 when 23 units were opened
compared to 35 units opened in 1994 and 1995. The remaining selling, general and
administrative expenses of the Company as a percentage of sales remained
relatively unchanged.
Interest expense increased for both the quarter and year-to-date primarily due
to the increased borrowing levels related to the Pro-Lawn acquisition
($11,268,000) and to fund working capital for the Company's sales increase.
Other deductions-net include customer finance charges which total $649,000 in
second quarter 1996 compared to $569,000 in 1995 and year-to-date 1996 of
$1,187,000 compared to $910,000 in 1995.
The Company's effective tax rate for the second quarter and year-to-date 1996
and 1995 is 39%.

Financial Condition
- -------------------
Total assets of the Company were $188,401,000 as of June 30, 1996 compared to
$139,035,000 as of June 30, 1995 and $137,821,000 as of December 31, 1995.
Accounts receivable increased to $70,886,000 as of June 30, 1996 from
$48,951,000 as of June 30, 1995 and $47,695,000 as of December 31, 1995. The
increase from June 1995 to June 1996 relates to sales increases while the
increase from December 1995 to June 1996 relates to seasonality. Inventories
increased to $78,926,000 as of June 30, 1996 from $63,991,000 as of June 30,
1995 and $60,773,000 as of December 31, 1995. The 23.3% increase from June 1995
to 1996 relates to sales increases with the primary increase being Pro-Lawn and
Service Center inventories. The increase from December 31, 1995 to June 30, 1996
relates to the Pro-Lawn acquistion and seasonality.
Funding for asset growth and the acquisition was provided by an increase in
long-term debt and accounts payable. The Company's long-term debt increased to
$67,578,000 as of June 1996 compared to $45,050,000 as of June 1995 and
$43,258,000 as of December 1995. The debt increase as of June 1996 includes the
$11,268,000 funding of the Pro-Lawn acquisition. Accounts payable increased to
$44,450,000 as of June 1996 compared to $25,541,000 as of June 1995 and
$23,670,000 as of December 1995. The increase from June 1995 to June 1996
relates to business volume increases as well as a change in vendor terms
delaying payment until the third quarter of 1996. The change from December 1995
to June 1996 is seasonal in nature.
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had $9,000,000 available under its credit
facility. The Company is currently reviewing various financing alternatives
which address required borrowing levels beyond 1996. Capital expenditures in the
first six months of 1996 total $2,276,000 and relate primarily to the opening of
Service Centers as noted above and improvements in the Company's information
systems.
