NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The consolidated financial statements for the three and six-month
periods ended December 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.       CONTINGENCIES

         Various legal actions are pending against the Company which seek
relief or damages including actions seeking contribution to cleaning costs of
two Superfund sites by plaintiff parties identified by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency.  During the second fiscal quarter of 1996, the
Company received from the United States Environmental Protection Agency a
settlement offer for the Superfund site located near Iota, Louisiana.  The
Company has accepted the offer to settle for less than $1,000.  While the final
outcome of the other action cannot be predicted with certainty at this time,
management believes, after consulting with cousel, 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 second quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company continued to
generate cash from operating activities.  However, the cash position of the
Company was reduced, primarily because of capital expenditures.  During the
second quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company incurred capital expenditures of
approximately $1.4 million.  Capital expenditures are now expected to total
approximately $3.2 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.

         The level of trade receivables at December 31, 1996, was lower than at
June 30, 1995 because of a smaller percentage of sales to foreign customers
where the payment terms tend to be longer than the terms extended to domestic
customers.

         The level of inventory increased significantly as compared to June 30,
1995.  The increase was the result of the Company's attempt to build inventory
from a one week supply to approximately a 30 day supply.

Results of Operations

         The results for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31,
1995 and 1994 follow:

         Sales volume for the quarter and the six months ended December 31,
1995 were lower than for the comparable period in fiscal 1995 primarily because
of the Company's attempt to increase its inventory level to more acceptable
levels.  In addition, during the second quarter of fiscal 1996 the Company had
no sales to one of its customers which historically had accounted for
approximately 10% of total sales.  This customer was obtaining melamine from a
competitor at lower prices than were offered by the Company.  The Company has
received no purchase orders from that customer for the third fiscal quarter of
1996.

         Sales prices for the quarter and the six months ended December 31,
1995 were much higher than the prior year because of stronger demand in both
the U.S. and Europe.  However, during the second quarter of fiscal 1996, the
Company did sense weakening demand in the domestic market.  it is not
anticipated that prices in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 will change
significantly from the second quarter level.

         Production volume in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 was lower than
in the prior year and in the prior quarter.  The decrease was due to the annual
maintenance shutdown taken in the quarter ended December 31, 1995.

         The cost of sales per pound in the three-months and six-months ended
December 31, 1995 was more than 30% higher than in the same periods last year.
The increase as compared to last year was due almost entirely to an increase in
the price of raw materials.

         Raw material prices for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 are expected
to increase cost of sales by 3.5 cents per pound as compared to the second
fiscal quarter.  Additionally, increases in the price of natural gas are
expected to increase cost of sales by 1.5 cents per pound.  The Company does
not expect to be able to increase prices to offset these cost increases.

         Interest income for the three-months and six-months ended December 31,
1995 increased as compared to the same periods in the prior year.  The increase
was due to the increased level of cash balances invested and also from $208,000
interest earned on tax refunds received from the Internal Revenue Services.

         The effective tax rate in fiscal 1996 is expected to be 32% rather
than the 36% rate in fiscal 1995.  The reduction in the rate is due to the
expected benefit of the Company's foreign sales corporation.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

         accepted the offer to settle for less than $1,000.
