  ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

  On November 18, 1997 Chemi-Trol Chemical Co. "Chemi-Trol" completed the sale
  of certain assets of its Cal-Van Tools Division "Cal-Van" to Eagle Tools, Inc.
  "Eagle" an Ohio Corporation having its principal office in Guilford County,
  North Carolina. Eagle is a newly-formed corporation having common ownership 
  with Horizon Tool, Inc. "Horizon" a privately owned company located in
  Greensboro, North Carolina. Eagle purchased inventory, machinery, equipment,
  fixtures, dies and the Cal-Van Tools name for a cash payment of $1.5 million
  and a note of approximately $2.4 million. Chemi-Trol retained accounts
  receivable of approximately $4.8 million and inventory having an estimated net
  market value of $400,000. The majority of retained receivables and inventory
  are expected to be liquidated within six months in accordance with
  Chemi-Trol's plans to exit this business. Eagle signed a related one year
  lease for the Cal-Van land and building not sold as a part of the business.
  All of the obligations of Eagle under the acquisition agreement, the lease and
  the note have been guaranteed by Horizon and certain obligations have been
  guaranteed by Eagle's and Horizon's principle shareholders.

  Chemi-Trol plans to use the sale proceeds and the subsequent cash collected
  from accounts receivable and inventory net of payments on accounts payable and
  accrued liabilities related to the discontinued business to reduce current
  outstanding long-term debt and fund future working capital needs.

                             CHEMI-TROL CHEMICAL CO.
                    NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(A)    The Pro forma Condensed Statements of Income for the year ended December
       31, 1996 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997 present
       the operating results of Chemi-Trol Chemical Co. "Chemi-Trol", assuming
       that the sale of certain assets and liquidation of certain assets and
       liabilities of the Cal-Van Tools Division "Cal-Van" had taken place as of
       January 1, 1996. The statements include all material adjustments
       necessary to present the historical results to reflect the assumptions.
       The Pro forma Condensed Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1997 presents
       Chemi-Trol's financial position assuming the sale and subsequent
       liquidations had taken place at September 30, 1997.

       The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of operating
       results or the financial position which may have actually been obtained
       if the sale transaction had been consummated on the dates indicated. In
       addition, the pro forma financial information does not purport to be
       indicative of operating results or financial position which may be
       obtained in the future. Chemi-Trol has prepared these proforma financial
       statements based upon assumptions deemed reasonable by management. The
       pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with
       Chemi-Trol's historical financial statements and notes thereto contained
       in the 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 1996 and the
       Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of September 30, 1997.

(B)    Included in this adjustment was cash received of $1,500,000, inventory
       and fixed assets sold of $4,871,000, notes received of $2,707,000,
       liabilities incurred as a result of sale of $852,000, estimated income
       tax benefit of $606,000 and the estimated after tax loss on sale of
       $910,000. The change in net assets sold between the actual sale date and
       September 30, 1997, was reflected through an increase in the pro forma
       notes receivable adjustment of approximately $307,000 over the actual
       note received at November 18, 1997.

(C)    In conjunction with Chemi-Trol's disposition of Cal-Van, the liquidation
       of the remaining assets and liabilities were recorded as having taken
       place on September 30, 1997. Included in this adjustment was collection
       of accounts receivable of $5,325,000, sale of remaining inventory of
       $400,000, payment of accounts payable of $794,000, and payment of accrued
       liabilities of $1,140,000. The net cash effect of these receipts and
       payments plus the $1,500,000 of proceeds from Note (B) above were used to
       eliminate short-term borrowings of $2,364,000 and reduce long-term debt
       by $2,927,000.

(D)    The presentation of the historical Statement of Income has been revised
       from the 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 1996 to
       reflect the 

                                                                               6

       discontinued operations of the Cory Orchard and Turf Division which was
       sold on March 25, 1997.

(E)    Revenue, cost of sales, selling expenses, and general and administrative
       expenses for Cal-Van were eliminated based on actual results of
       operations. The adjustment in interest expense was calculated based on
       the ratio net assets of Cal-Van operations to the total net assets of
       Chemi-Trol plus existing outstanding debt.

(F)    The income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments referred to in Notes
       (B) and (E) were recorded at 40 percent, the combined Federal and State
       statutory income tax rate.
