(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


      (a)  Basis of Presentation

           The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the 
           accrual basis and present the equity available to participants in the
           Melamine Chemicals, Inc. Employee 401 (K) Thrift Plan (The Plan) and 
           changes in equity of the Plan.
        
           The Plan is administered by the Thrift Committee (a Committee of 
           three individuals appointed by the Melamine Chemicals, Inc. Board of
           Directors).
        
      (b)  Investment in Trust Fund Managed by the Trustee

           Under the terms of a trust agreement between Melamine Chemicals, 
           Inc. (The Company), and Premier Bank, N.A.  (trustee), the trustee
           maintains a trust fund on behalf of the Plan.  The trust fund is
           segregated into five investment funds as follows:  (1) a Government
           Fixed Fund (Fund A), (2) an Equity Fund (Fund B), (3) a Company Stock
           Fund (Fund C), (4) a Participant Loan Fund (Fund D) and (5) a
           Certificate of Deposit Fund (Fund E).  Contributions allocated to the
           Government Fixed and Equity Funds were invested in a contract with
           Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York (MONY) through December 31,
           1993.  On January 1, 1994 MONY sold its pension operations to AEGON
           USA, Inc. who is administering the funds through Diversified
           Investment Advisors.  Contributions allocated to the Company Stock
           Fund are invested in the common stock of the Company.  The Loan Fund
           is used to maintain notes receivable from participants resulting from
           loans.  Contributions allocated to the Certificate of Deposit Fund
           are managed by the First National Bank of Atlanta. Participants in
           the Plan are permitted to direct the investment of both employee and
           company contributions to the Plan in any of the funds available to
           the Plan, except Fund D.  Prior to April 1, 1988, all employer and
           employee contributions were invested in

                                                                     (Continued)

           a contract with Mutual of New York Life Insurance Company in either
           the  Guaranteed Income or Equity Funds.  Melamine Chemicals, Inc.
           common stock and investment in the Government Fixed and Equity Funds
           are carried at current value in the accompanying statement of net
           assets available for plan benefits.  Current value is determined by
           the Trust Department of Premier Bank, which, for Melamine Chemicals,
           Inc. common stock, is based upon the closing sales price at June 30,
           1995.

           The number of participants by fund at June 30, 1995, was as follows:

           Since, within certain limitations, investments may be made or held

      (2)  Contributions and Benefits

           The Plan is a contributory savings plan sponsored by the Company.
           Employees who have completed one year of service with the Company
           are eligible to participate in the plan.  Participants may elect to
           make tax- deferred contributions to the Plan of up to 16% of
           compensation.  The total amount of tax-deferred contributions is
           limited by federal tax legislation.  Additionally, the Company
           matches 100% of the participant's contribution up to, but not
           exceeding, 4% of such participant's compensation. Participants pay
           no federal income tax on their tax-deferred contributions, on the
           employer contributions, or on any earnings on their accounts, until
           withdrawals or distributions are made from their accounts.

           Subject to the break-in-service provisions of the Plan, a
           participant becomes fully vested in their account balance derived
           from Company matching contributions upon the earliest of the
           following occurrences:

                 - Completion of five years of service

                 - Attainment of normal retirement age or early retirement date

                 - Death

                 - Total disability, as defined in the Plan

           Participants are at all times fully vested in their account balance
           derived from their own contributions, including any earnings or
           losses thereon.

           Withdrawals of vested account balances by a participant prior to
           retirement, death or disability are permitted if the participant
           suffers financial hardship as defined by the Plan.





                                                                     (Continued)

                         Notes to Financial Statements



           A participant may elect an immediate distribution of the vested
           portions of employee and company contributions, plus income and
           earnings thereon, as soon as practicable following termination of
           employment.  If an immediate distribution is not requested by the
           participant upon termination, benefits shall be paid, or commence
           upon such participant's normal or early retirement date, subject to
           the death benefit provision which provides for a single lump sum
           distribution upon a participant's death.  Upon termination, other
           than described above, the non-vested employer contributions and
           earnings are forfeited by participants and such amounts reduce
           employer contributions under the Plan.

           A participant may borrow from the vested portions of their account
           balance subject to several specific rules as defined by the Plan. No
           loan from the Plan may be in excess of the lesser of i) $50,000
           reduced by the participant's highest outstanding loan balance during
           the preceding twelve-month period or ii) one half the participant's
           vested interest in the Plan.  No loan may be for less than $1,000.
           The term of the loan shall not exceed 5 years unless the loan is to
           be used to purchase the participant's principal residence, in which
           case, the term of the loan may be 10 years.  The annual loan
           interest rate shall be determined by the Thrift Committee, but in no
           instance should be more than the Premier Bank Certificate of Deposit
           rate plus 2%.  Participants borrow from their Government Fixed Fund
           balances first and then their Equity, Certificate of Deposit and
           Company Stock Fund balances.  Only one loan may be outstanding at
           one time.  Loan repayments are automatically deducted from the
           participant's paychecks and replenish the funds that current
           contributions are being made to.

           Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
           contribution and an allocation of (a) the employer's contribution
           and (b) Plan earnings.  Earnings are allocated based upon the
           participant's investment of his account balance in each of the
           funds.  Forfeitures of terminated participants' non-vested accounts
           are used to reduce future employer contributions.  The benefit to
           which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided
           from the participant's account.  The Plan document and subsequent
           amendments more fully explain the details of the Plan and are made
           available to Plan participants by the Plan administrator.

      (4)  Federal Income Taxes

           The Company has received a favorable determination letter on
           February 25, 1988 from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the
           Plan qualifies under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the
           Internal Revenue Code.

      (5)  Fees and Expenses

           The Company, as the Plan's sponsor, has absorbed the cost of the
           personnel required to maintain accounting records and allocate the
           assets of the Plan to participants' accounts.  Fees and expenses
           paid by the Plan are generally reimbursed by the Company.



                                                                     (Continued)

      (6)  Contracts with Insurance Companies

           As of July 1, 1985, the Company entered into a contract with Mutual
           Life Insurance Company of New York (MONY).  The contract provided
           for two investment options; (1) Guaranteed Income Fund and (2)
           Equity Fund.  MONY guarantees that the interest will be credited to
           the participants' accounts in the Guaranteed Income Fund at the rate
           determined annually by MONY in accordance with the contract.  On
           February 19, 1992, the Guaranteed Income Fund was replaced with the
           Government Fixed Fund.  All previous deposits in the Guaranteed
           Income Fund were transferred to the Government Fixed Fund.
           Contributions allocated to the Equity Fund were invested in various
           types of securities at the sole discretion of MONY, subject to
           limitation by applicable state law.  Participants' accounts are
           expressed in terms of units which are valued based upon the fair
           market value of the fund's assets at the valuation date.  The dollar
           value of a unit in the Equity Fund may increase or decrease and was
           not guaranteed by MONY.  On January 1, 1994 MONY'S pension operation
           was sold to AEGON USA, Inc. and is now administered through
           Diversified Investment Advisors (DIA).

      (7)  Plan Termination

           The Board of Directors of the Company expects to continue the Plan
           indefinitely; however, they reserve the right to amend, modify or
           discontinue the plan at any time.  In the event of Plan termination,
           participants will become fully vested in their accounts.

      (8)  Investment Management Agreement

           As of July 1, 1990, the company entered into an investment
           management agreement with The First National Bank of Atlanta.  The
           agreement provides for an investment option in the Certificate of
           Deposit Fund of the First Wachovia Diversified Funds for Retirement
           Trusts.  The fund is invested in large certificates of deposit
           issued by federally insured banks, who have a Keefe Bruyette rating
           of B or better.  The fund is valued monthly.  Unit value remains a
           constant $100.
