have been prepared from the records of the Company. In the opinion of
management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only
normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These interim financial statements should be read in

(3)   Earnings Per Common Share

      Earnings per common share of common stock are computed on the basis of the
weighted average shares of common stock outstanding plus common stock equivalent
shares arising from the effect of dilutive stock options, using the treasury
stock method.

      On July 24, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved a
three-for-two stock split of the Company's Common Stock, $0.10 par value,
effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend to holders of record on July 8,
1996. All share and per share data, including stock option plan information have
been adjusted to reflect the impact of the three-for-two stock split. The effect
of the split was presented retroactively within stockholders' equity at December
31, 1996 by transferring the par value for the additional shares issued from
additional paid-in capital to common stock.

4)    Future Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      The AICPA's Statement of Position 96-1 "Environmental Remediation
Liabilities" requires that environmental remediation liabilities including
related legal costs be accrued when it is probable that an environmental
remediation will be required and such remediation efforts can be reasonably
estimated. The Company has adopted this standard on January 1, 1997. The Company
currently considers the criteria of this standard in establishing its
environmental liabilities with the exception of the requirement to accrue for
certain future external legal costs. The adoption of this standard did not have
a material impact on its result of operations.

      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share"
changes the reporting requirements for earnings per share (EPS) for publicly
traded companies by replacing primary EPS with basic EPS and changing the
disclosures associated with this change. The Company is required to adopt this
standard in the fourth quarter of 1997 and is currently evaluating the impact of
this standard.

5)    Short-term Debt

      Short-term debt at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 consists of the

(6)   Long-term Debt, continued

      As of March 31, 1997, the Company has opted to borrow $72,500 of the
$100,000 available under the revolving credit facility and completely pay the
balance due on the term loan of $66,000. The revolving credit facility is due
October 11, 1999.

      The Company met all the bank covenants for the first quarter of 1997.

(7)   Shares Held in Trust

      In 1995, the Company amended its non-qualified deferred compensation plan
to permit plan participants to defer receipt of Company stock which would
otherwise have been issued to the participants upon the exercise of Company
stock options. Such shares are held in trust and thus are included as a
reduction of equity. The Company has established a corresponding liability to
the plan participants in the amount of $718 which is included in other
noncurrent liabilities at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

(8)   Contingencies

      Refer to Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, for
disclosure of existing contingencies related to environmental issues.

</TABLE>

Gross sales in the first quarter 1997 decreased to $93,141 compared to $96,717
in the first quarter 1996 due, in part, to a $1.4 million sales reduction
attributed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations or transactions
denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies,
primarily in our Pharmaceutical bulk actives product category. All product
categories experienced decreases except organic intermediates.

Pharmaceutical bulk actives of $27,152 were $688 below the first quarter 1996
due to the effect of foreign currency movements, as volumes were consistent with
the prior year. Sales volume had decreased in products for cardiovascular
preparations as a result of low fourth quarter 1996 production levels, however,
sales for 1997 are expected to be at 1996 levels. This decrease was offset by
the continued strong demand of 5-ASA.

Pharmaceutical intermediates of $18,964 were $506 below the first quarter 1996
due to no sales of PMPA and lower sales of cyclohexenylethlamine to the
Dextromethorphan (Dextro) market (cough suppressant). The PMPA business will not
return as the contract was cancelled in 1996, but the other products involved in
the Dextro market are predicted to recover when excess Dextro inventories are
depleted by customers. Part of this reduction was offset by the 2nd shipment of
an intermediate for a protease inhibitor used in the treatment of AIDS and the
sales of aminopyridines from our new facility in England.

Organic intermediates of $18,320 were $631 above the first quarter 1996 due to
higher sales of 3-Nitro (up $2.0 million), a poultry feed additive, due to
higher production volumes, and increased pyridine sales for herbicides. These
increases were offset by a sale of $3.0 million in 2-Cyanopyridine inventory in
the first quarter 1996 as a result of a renegotiated contract.

Performance enhancers of $17,812 were $1,635 below the first quarter 1996. Key
decreases occurred in photographic products and in pyridine derivatives, both of
which experienced unusually high first quarter 1996 volumes and are now at
expected levels.

Polymer systems of $10,893 were $1,378 lower than the first quarter 1996 in the
coatings and engineering plastics markets. The coatings products were $0.8
million below last year partly due to lower production capacity available for
all customer shipments. Sales of a monomer for polyether sulphone plastics was
affected by lower demand from the major customer.

Export sales from U.S. businesses of $11,251 in the first quarter 1997 compared
to $12,130 in the first quarter 1996 due to the decreased demand in the
Dextromethorphan markets, primarily in India. International sales from our
European operations totaled $39,010 for the same period in 1997 as compared with
$41,431 in 1996.

Total gross profit of $27,739 increased by $1,273, or 5%, from 1996 resulting in
a higher gross margin percentage (as a percentage of gross sales) which
increased to 29.8% from 27.4%. The gross margin improvement was due to improved
plant operations, good product mix in pharmaceutical bulk actives, continued
review of lower margin products, and reduced plant spending, partially offset by
increased raw materials costs in our manufacture of pyridine derivatives.

Selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses as a
percentage of gross sales was 16.6%, up from 15.6% in the first quarter 1996.
The first quarter 1997 expense of $15,448 was $406 (3%) above 1996. This
increase was due to added administrative and research costs at our subsidiaries,
partially offset by the reorganization efforts in our Swedish facility.

Net interest expense of $1,132 reflected a decrease of $660 from 1996. This
decline was due to the additional cash flow from operations used to pay down a
net $24.5 million of outstanding loans from March, 1996. The average interest
rate was 7.5% in the first quarter 1997 vs. 7.3% in 1996.

The provision for income taxes for the first quarter resulted in an effective
rate of 32% versus 35% in the comparable period in 1996. This was due to the
implementation of tax planning strategies and the projected composition of
taxable income between domestic and international operations. However, actual
results may differ in the event of changes in tax regulations or deviations from
projections.

The Company's first quarter net income increased 20% to $7,448 compared with a
net income of $6,197 in 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company generated cash flows
from operations totaling $239,000, a decrease of $4.5 million over the
comparable period in 1996. This decrease in cash flow was primarily due to an
increase in inventory levels and a decrease in accounts payable, partially
offset by the increased net income ($1.3 million). Additionally, increases in
long-term debt ($6.4 million) were utilized by the Company to expend $8.3
million on capital expenditures. The increase in the cash balance for the first
quarter 1997 was $202,000.

Capital expenditures were $8,261 in the first three months of 1997 as compared
to $7,450 in the first three months of 1996. The major portion of the funds were
used for construction of the pilot plants at our Salsbury, Iowa and Zeeland,
Michigan facilities which are expected to be completed by the third quarter,
1997.

Effective July 24, 1996, the Board of Directors approved a three-for-two split
of the Company's Common Stock, $.10 par value, in the form of a 50% stock
dividend.

As of March 31, 1997, the Company has opted to borrow $72,500 of the $100,000
available under the revolving credit facility to prepay the remaining balance
due on the term loan of $66,000. This decision was based on the lower interest
rate available under the revolving credit facility. The unutilized borrowing
capacity of approximately $27,500 under the revolving credit facility of the
Credit Agreement as of March 31, 1997 can be drawn on 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 1997, the Company paid cash dividends of $0.05 per
share.

The Company's primary market risk relates to exposure to foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations on transactions entered into by our foreign
operations which are primarily denominated in the U.S. dollar, Deutsche mark and
British pound sterling. The Company uses foreign currency forward exchange and
put and call option contracts to mitigate the effect of short-term foreign
exchange rate movements on the Company's operating results. The notional amount
of these contracts is $31,391 which the Company estimates to be approximately
50% of the foreign currency exposure during the period covered resulting in a
deferred currency loss of $1,538 at March 31, 1997. An additional $4,736 (8%) of
the foreign currency exposure is protected through export financing.
