2. Sale of Notes With Recourse
---------------------------
The Company at March 31, 1997 has a contingent liability of $2,671,927
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.
4. Discontinued Operations
-----------------------
On March 25, 1997, Chemi-Trol Chemical Co. sold its Cory Orchard and
Turf Division to Terra International, Inc. "Terra" for approximately $4.8
Million under an asset purchase agreement. The sale resulted in a gain of
$270,198 after taxes of $179,697. Terra is a Delaware Corporation having
an address of 600 Fourth Street, PO Box 6000 Sioux City, IA 51202-6000.
Summary operating results of the discontinued Cory Orchard and Turf
operations for the quarter ended March 31st are as follows: 1997 1996 1995
Revenues $ 911,943 $ 1,126,495 $1,465,170

--------- ----------- ----------
Net income (loss) $ (40,721) $ (17,385) $ 14,631
========= =========== ==========
Interest on borrowings under the Company's general credit facilities
was allocated to discontinued operations based on the ratio of net assets
of the discontinued Cory Orchard and Turf operations to the total net
assets of the Company plus existing debt under the Company's general
credit facilities. Interest expense allocated to discontinued operations
during the first quarter totaled $18,567 in 1997, $27,901 in 1996 and
$21,567 in 1995.

First quarter ended March 31, 1997 vs. first quarter ended March 31, 1996
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company's 1997 first quarter revenues were the highest in the Company's
history. Revenues from continuing operations rose 26.7% to $14,090,839 from
$11,036,005 in the first quarter of last year. Income from continuing operations
made a sharp rebound from the year-ago quarter to $409,567, or 20 cents a share,
versus a loss of $110,010, or 5 cents a share, in 1996's quarter. Net earnings
totaled $639,044, or 32 cents per share, compared to a loss of $127,395, or 6
cents per share, in the prior year.
On March 25, 1997, the Company announced that it had successfully completed
the sale of the assets of its Cory Orchard and Turf Division to Terra
International, Inc. for approximately $4.8 million. The disposition was pursuant
to a plan announced by the Company in December 1996 to concentrate on its core
businesses: the Tank Division and the Chemical Group.
The Tank Division scored record sales for the first quarter, up 49.5% to
$9,395,372 from the prior year's $6,284,381. Operating profit from manufacturing
rose 227% to 13% of sales or $1,224,063, from the year earlier's $374,102, or 6%
of sales. Total operating profit which includes the leasing and finance
operations, was $1,446,262 against $667,224 a year earlier.

The Company's Chemical Group sales rose 105.5% to $891,703 from $433,832 from
the prior year when adverse weather led to a late spring season. This division
had an operating loss of $47,586 for 1997's first quarter versus an operating
loss last year of $84,335. The Chemical Group's first quarter is normally
dominated by start-up costs associated with contracting, and primary earnings
for this segment are generated in the second and third quarters.
The Cal-Van Tools segment reported $3,576,702 in sales, down from a record
$4,016,773 in 1996's first quarter. The operating loss for the division totaled
$82,426 compared to a loss of $63,445 a year earlier. The overall automotive
market was slow in the earlier part of the quarter but began to pick up in both
February and March.
On April 28, 1997 Chemi-Trol Chemical Co. and Ronald A. Peterson, Inc.
jointly announced that they had signed a non-binding letter of intent under
which Peterson will acquire Chemi-Trol's Cal-Van Tools unit for an undisclosed
consideration. The transaction is contingent upon the parties negotiating a
mutually satisfactory definitive agreement.
For the Company as whole, net sales from continuing operations increased by
29.1% while cost of sales increased at a lessor rate of 23.2% and resulted in a
75.3% increase in gross profit. Selling expenses decreased by 15.3% largely as a
result of the decrease in selling expenses at the Cal-Van Tools Division.
General administrative expenses increased 45.8% largely as a result of increased
bonus and profit sharing allocations at the higher profit level. Interest income
decreased by approximately 24.6% as operations in the Leasing and Finance
Division slowed. Interest expenses from continuing operations decreased sharply,
by 42.8%, as average borrowings for working capital needs decreased during the
first quarter of 1997. For the quarter the Company recorded income from
continuing operations of $409,567, or 20 cents per share, compared to a loss of
$110,010, or 5 cents per share in 1996. Current quarter income from discontinued
operations totaled $299,477, or 12 cents per share, which was comprised of a
$270,198 gain from the disposal of Cory Orchard and Turf Division combined with
a current operating loss of $40,721. Net income totaled $639,044, or 32 cents
per share, compared to a loss of $127,395 or 6 cents per share, in 1996's first
quarter.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Liquidity is the measure of a company's ability to generate adequate
funds to meet its needs. Funds can be generated internally from operations or
externally by borrowing. Primary measures of liquidity include the amount of
working capital, the working capital ratio and the ability to borrow long-term
funds. As shown in the following chart, the Company remains in a good position
as the ability to borrow funds remains strong as evidenced by the unused
commitment for term financing and the unpledged notes and leases at March 31,
1997.
March 31, 1997 March 31, 1996
-------------- --------------
Working capital $11,514,818 $13,931,144
Working capital ratio 1.7 to 1 1.7 to 1
Unused commitment for term financing
of customer notes and leases 4,780,500 2,076,500
Unpledged notes and leases 1,483,293 1,121,170
A substantial amount of the Company's working capital over the past two
years has been provided from operations. Long-term borrowings are 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 $6,070,250 and to finance sales-type leases was
$1,479,355 at March 31, 1997. The Company has a commitment for year ended May 2,
1998 to provide long-term financing for tank notes and leases extended to
customers for an additional $7 million beyond amounts currently outstanding on
May 2, 1997.
Due to the seasonal nature of the operation of the Company's Chemical
Group and extended payment terms in certain other divisions, the Company has an
uneven cash flow pattern. Operations of the Chemical Group begin approximately
late-March and run through November. There are substantial start-up expenses for
this division associated with inventory build-up and the purchase of equipment
and supplies. Since the majority of the contracts performed by this division are
for political sub-divisions and the contracts stretch over the entire summer
season, a high percentage of the payments are not received until mid-September
and October. As a result it is 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. The Company had not borrowed on its line at
March 31, 1997.
The capital expenditure budget for 1997 is $782,000. The Company
intends to make these expenditures with funds provided from operations.
