NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The consolidated financial statements for the three and nine-month periods
ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 have not been audited by independent accountants,
but in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
balance sheet, consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement
of cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated have been made.
Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results of operations for the respective full years.

2. INCOME TAXES

     The Company has reached an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) in connection with their audit of fiscal years 1987 through 1994.  The
IRS has allowed additional tax basis for certain assets purchased in fiscal
1987.  The impact of the agreement is a net tax benefit of $594,700.  The
Company expects to receive $325,000 in refunds in fiscal 1996 and the remainder
of the benefit will be realized in subsequent years.  The tax benefit of the
agreement reached was recognized in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1995.

3. CONTINGENCIES

     Various legal actions are pending against the Company which seek relief or
damages including an action seeking contribution to cleaning costs of a
Superfund site by plaintiff parties identified by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In addition, in March 1995, the Company
received notice that it had been named a potentially responsible party (PRP) at
another Superfund site located near Iota, Louisiana.  The EPA is attempting to
recover approximately $4.7 million from approximately 350 PRP's, including the
Company.  While the final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with
certainty at this time, management believes, after consulting with counsel,
that the ultimate liability, if any, will not have a material effect on the
consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company.



Item 2.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity and Capital Resources

    During the third quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company's cash position and
working capital continued to improve. This improvement was caused primarily by:

    -   improved earnings; and
    -   a low level of capital expenditures in the third quarter.

    During the third quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company incurred capital
expenditures of approximately $441,000. Capital expenditures are now expected
to total approximately $1.5 million for the year.  While funds from operations
are expected to be adequate to pay for capital expenditures, any unexpected
shortfall can be funded from the Company's $7.5 million lines of credit which
expire on April 1, 1996.  The Company has requested the banks to extend these
lines for one year.  No response has been received as of the date of this
filing.

</TABLE>

    Sales volume for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 decreased as compared to
the third quarter of fiscal 1994 and as compared to the immediately preceding
quarter.  Demand in both the U.S. and Europe is increasing as the economic
recovery continues.  However, the Company is continuing to hold back on sales
volume because of the low level of inventory on hand.  The Company hopes to
increase its inventory from its current level of about a two week supply.

    Sales prices in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 were 29% higher than the
year before and 13% higher than the immediately preceding quarter.  These
increases reflect the impact on demand of improving economies.  Sales prices in
the next few quarters are expected to increase further as supply and demand
come more into balance and under the pressure of increasing raw material costs.
The Company expects to announce another overall price increase effective July
1, 1995.

    The cost of sales per pound in the three-months ended March 31, 1995 was 6%
above the same period last year and 15% above the prior quarter.  The increases
were mainly due to higher raw material prices.

    Raw material prices for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 are expected to
increase cost of sales by 4.5c./pound as compared to the third fiscal quarter.
The Company will attempt to offset any raw material price increases by further
increasing sales prices, but the ultimate success of this effort is impossible
to predict.

    During the nine months ended March 31, 1995, research and development costs
increased over the level of the same period in the previous year.  While the
absolute dollar increase was not significant, the percentage increase reflects
the Company's increased research efforts in commercializing melamine modifiers
and finding new uses for melamine.

    Interest expense for the three-months and nine-months ended March 31, 1995
decreased as compared to the same periods in the prior year.  The decrease is
due to the decreased level of borrowing in fiscal 1995 as compared to fiscal
1994.

    Miscellaneous income increased significantly for the quarter as compared to
the prior year and as compared to the prior quarter.  All of the increase was
due to currency exchange gains recognized during the quarter because of the
weakening U.S. dollar.

     The Company has reached an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) in connection with their audit of fiscal years 1987 through 1994.  The
IRS has allowed additional tax basis for certain assets purchased in fiscal
1987.  The impact of the agreement is a net tax benefit of $594,700.  The
Company expects to receive $325,000 in refunds in fiscal 1996 and the remainder
of the benefit will be realized in subsequent years.  The tax benefit of the
agreement reached was recognized in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1995.
