4)       Acquisitions

         On October 12, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of the
stock of Nobel's Pharma Chemistry Business ("Nobel/Profarmaco") from Akzo Nobel
for approximately $126,000.  The business consists of Nobel Chemicals AB in
Karlskoga, Sweden, Profarmaco Nobel S.r.l. in Milan, Italy, and sales companies
in Germany, England and the United States.  Nobel/Profarmaco manufactures fine
chemical intermediates and bulk active ingredients for pharmaceutical products.
The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and was financed with the
Company's new credit agreement, and resulted in goodwill of $45,756 which is
being amortized on a straight line basis over 17.5 years.

         On January 31, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of the
assets of Hexcel Corporation's fine chemicals business located in
Middlesbrough, England, for approximately $7,400 and the assumption of certain
current liabilities in the amount of $2,100.  The business, now known as Seal
Sands Chemicals Ltd. ("Seal Sands"), manufactures chemical intermediates used
in the pharmaceutical, photographic, water treatment, health care, and plastics
industries.  On May 27, 1994, the Company purchased the Topanol product line
from Zeneca Limited to complement the Seal Sands operations for $4,600.  These
transactions were accounted for as purchases and were financed with the
Company's credit agreement, and resulted in goodwill of $1,881 for Seal Sands
and $504 for Topanol which are being amortized on a straight line basis over
17.5 years and 5 years, respectively.

         Unaudited pro forma results as if the Nobel/Profarmaco and Seal Sands
acquisitions and the Topanol product line purchase had occurred at January 1 of
1994 are presented below.  The pro forma financial information is not
necessarily indicative of results of operations that would have occurred had
the combinations been in effect at the beginning of the periods nor of future
results of operations of the combined companies.

Net revenues for the first quarter 1995 increased 83% to $93,389 from $51,047
reported in the first quarter 1994.  The $42,342 increase was due to the
acquisitions of Nobel Chemicals in Sweden and Profarmaco in Italy, and to
increased sales in the specialty and fine chemicals and agricultural
intermediates and additives categories.  The table below shows the contribution
of the Nobel/Profarmaco acquisition to the product categories and changes in
the base business.

</TABLE>

Health and Pharmaceuticals' revenues increased $33,084 with Nobel and
Profarmaco contributing sales of $32,682.  Revenues from the base business had
increases in a new intermediate for dextromephorphan, an over-the-counter cough
suppressant, and from a pharmaceutical used for ulcerative colitis.  These
increases more than offset the $1,500 lost sales from hydrogels and Wickhen
cosmetic lines which totaled $1,500 in the first quarter 1994.

Specialty and Fine Chemicals' revenues increased $8,740 (66%) over 1994.  The
acquisition of Nobel Chemicals accounted for $4,004 of this increase.  Revenues
from the base business increased $4,736 (36%) from first quarter 1994.  This
was due to an increase in several fine chemical products including sales of a
dye receptor in acrylic yarns, cross-linking agents to improve the performance
of polycarbonate resins, a polymer used in instant film, a tin based catalyst
used in silicone caulks and adhesives, and products used in soaps, lubricants
and flavors.

Agricultural Intermediates and Additives' revenues increased $1,392 (10%) from
1994.  The increase was due to growth in our existing business, with no
contribution from the acquisitions compared to the first quarter 1994.  The
sales of animal feed additives decreased slightly compared to the first quarter
1994.  Sales of organo-arsenical feed additives used to control disease and to
enhance chicken growth and improve feed performance increased due to wider
market demand.  This increase was offset by declines in sales of feed grade
Vitamin B3 and intermediates which decreased due to a decision to maintain
price increases at the expense of lower volume.  The sales of products used in
the manufacture of herbicides and insecticides were up $1,561 from the first
quarter 1994.  Sales of pyridine, the largest item in this group, were up 20%
from 1994, and sales of another pyridine compound used in the manufacture of a
herbicide increased from 1994 due to the customer's order pattern.

Performance Chemicals' and Coatings revenues were at the same level as 1994.

Export Sales from the U.S. were $7,564 in the first quarter 1995 versus $10,084
in the first quarter 1994 mainly due to the reduced shipments of feedgrade
Vitamin B3 and its intermediates.  International sales from all European
operations totaled $41,769 versus $2,451 in the first quarter 1994 due to the
acquisitions of Nobel/Profarmaco and Seal Sands in 1994.

Gross profit in the first quarter 1995 of $24,485 (26.2%) compared to $11,403
(22.3%) in the first quarter 1994.  The acquisition of Nobel/Profarmaco
contributed $10,300 to the increased gross profit.  The base business had an
increase of $2,800.  The gross profit percentage of the base business increased
to 24.7% versus 22.3% in 1994.  Improved pricing added approximately $2,400 to
the base business' gross profit; and sales volume increases added $700.  Cost
decreased $1,700 due to improved plant efficiencies.  The improvement in plant
efficiencies was due to a return to more normal weather conditions compared to
the extremely low temperatures encountered in the first quarter of 1994.  Some
of this improvement was offset by approximately $2,000 in increased raw
material costs.

Raw materials used in pyridine products decreased in price in the first quarter
1995 versus the fourth quarter 1994 but are above the first quarter 1994
levels.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues
was 15%, which was the same as the first quarter 1994.  The marketing and
research and development expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased
particularly in our agricultural intermediates and additives and performance
chemicals business areas due to continued effects of cost improvements.  These
decreases were offset by increases in administrative expenses associated with
the acquisition of Nobel/Profarmaco.

Net interest expense of $3,443 in the first quarter 1995 increased $3,080 over
1994.  This increase was due to the additional borrowings for acquisitions and
an increase in the interest rate of approximately 2%.

The provision for income taxes for the first quarter 1995 resulted in an
effective tax rate of 39% vs. 37% in 1994.  This increase was due to higher
effective tax rates attributable to the Company's Profarmaco operation in
Italy.

The Company's net income increased 106% to $4,394 compared with a net income of
$2,128 in the first quarter 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash flow from operations was $3,920 for the first quarter 1995 compared
with $1,958 in the first quarter 1994.  The increase in cash flow is primarily
due to increased earnings and additional depreciation and amortization.

Capital expenditures were $8,131 in the first quarter 1995 as compared to
$3,861 in the first quarter 1994.  The largest expenditures were for (1)
continued construction of a new facility at the Salsbury site in Charles City,
Iowa to increase production levels for several products and to generate steam;
and (2) a facility at Nobel Chemicals in Karlskoga, Sweden to increase capacity
for pharmaceutical intermediates.  Capital expenditures are in line with the
projected spending in 1995 of $33,000.

The Company has undrawn borrowing capacity of approximately $46,500 under the
Credit Agreement as of March 31, 1995, which can be used for general corporate
purposes.  Management is of the opinion that these amounts, together with other
available sources of capital, are adequate for meeting the Company's
anticipated financing and capital requirements.

During the first quarter 1995, the Company paid cash dividends of $0.05 per
share.
