         	NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            	(UNAUDITED)

Note 1.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested these
interim consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report for the year ended February 29, 2000.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made.
Operating results for the three month period ended May 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
February 28, 2001.

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ag Services of
America, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Ag Acceptance
Corporation.  All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

According to the terms related to the asset backed securitized financing
program as described in Note 3 of the consolidated condensed financial
statements, the Company formed Ag Acceptance Corporation, a wholly owned,
special purpose corporation.

Unless otherwise noted, all amounts present are in thousands except per share
amounts.

Note 2.	Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments:

In the normal course of business, the Company makes various commitments that
are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial
statements.  These  include  various  commitments  to extend credit to
customers.  At May 31, 2000 and February 29, 2000 the Company had
approximately $119,000 and $91,000, respectively, in commitments to supply
farm inputs.  No material losses or liquidity demands are anticipated as a
result of these commitments.

Contingencies:

The Company is named in lawsuits in the ordinary course of business.  Counsel
for the Company has advised the Company, while the outcome of various legal
proceedings is not certain, it is unlikely that these proceedings will result
in any recovery which will materially affect the financial position or
operating results of the Company.

                                    -5-
<PAGE>

The availability of lines of credit to finance operations and the existence of
a multi-peril crop insurance program are essential to the Company's operations.
If the federal multi-peril crop insurance program currently in existence were
terminated or negatively modified and no comparable private or government
program were established, this could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's future operations.  The government has from time to time evaluated
the federal multi-peril insurance program and is likely to review the program
in the future, and there can be no assurance about the outcome of such
evaluations.

Note 3.	Pledged Assets and Related Debt

The Company entered into a five-year asset backed securitized financing
program through fiscal 2004, with a maximum available borrowing amount of $325
million.  Under the terms of the five-year facility, the Company sells and
may continue to sell or contribute certain notes receivable to Ag Acceptance
Corporation ("Ag Acceptance"), wholly owned, special purpose subsidiary of the
Company.  Ag Acceptance pledges its interest in these notes receivable to a
commercial-paper market conduit entity on $255 million of the facility which
incurs interest at variable rates in the commercial paper market and the
remaining $70 million is a three-year term note with interest at a variable
cost of LIBOR plus 25 basis points. The agreement contains various restrictive
covenants including, among others, restrictions on mergers, issuance of stock,
declaration or payment of dividends, transactions with affiliates, and requires
the Company to maintain certain levels of equity and pretax earnings. Advances
under the facility are made subject to portfolio performance, financial
covenant restrictions and borrowing base calculations.  At May 31, 2000, the
Company had a maximum amount available under the asset backed securitized
financing program of approximately $0.2 million based on borrowing base
computations as provided by the agreement.

In conjunction with the securitized financing program, the Company currently
maintains an $8.5 million revolving bank line of credit through July 2000.
The line of credit is accessible to cover any potential deficiencies in
available funds financed through the securitization program.  At May 31, 2000
the Company had a maximum amount available under the agreement of
approximately $1.0 million based on the borrowing base computation as provided
by the agreement.

During 1998, the Company negotiated an additional bank line of credit with
a maximum available borrowing amount of $12 million.  The line of credit is
accessible to cover the Company's funding requirements for its intermediate
loan program and extends its terms through July 2000. At May 31, 2000,
the Company had approximately $0.9 million available under the
line of credit based on the borrowing base computation as provided by the
agreement.

Subsequent to end of the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company received
a commitment for a $30 million term loan.  The term loan will be due in
equal annual installments beginning in July of 2002 through maturity in
July 2005.  In conjunction with this $30 million five-year term note,
the Company will extend the terms and increase their $8.5 million revolving
bank line of credit to $15 million dollars.  Also, the Company's will use
the proceeds from the $30 million term loan to pay off and terminate the
$12 million line of credit.

Note 4.	Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
In computing diluted earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options
during the periods presented as well as the effect of contingently issuable
shares also increase the weighted average number of shares.

	       FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth percentages of net revenues represented by the
selected items in the unaudited condensed statements of income of the Company
for the three months ended May 31, 2000 and 1999.  In the opinion of
management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair
statement of the results for such periods have been included.  The operating
results for any period are not necessarily indicative of results for any
future period.

                                                 ========  ========

Net Revenues:

Net revenues increased $22.9 million or 17.3% during the three months ended
May 31, 2000, compared with the three months ended May 31, 1999.  The Company
reached this record level through greater market penetration with the
increased name recognition gained by the Company's Agri-Flex Credit(R) program
in its 30 state market area.  Financing income as a percentage of net income

                                   -8-
<PAGE>

increased to 3.9% for the three months ended May 31, 2000 from 3.6%
the previous year.  This increase was primarily a result of an increase in the
prime lending rate by 100 basis points, which is the base rate used by the
Company to charge interest on a variable rate basis to its customers, as
compared to a year ago.

Cost of Revenues:

The total cost of revenues increased to 94.8% of net revenues for the three
months ended May 31, 2000 as compared to 94.4% for the period ended May 31,
1999.  The gross margin on the sale of farm inputs decreased to 4.9% for the
three months ended May 31, 2000 compared to 5.3% for the three months ended
May 31, 1999.  The decrease in gross margin on the sale of farm inputs was
the result of sales mix shift into non-traditional crops such as sugar beets
and potatoes, which results in a shift to lower margin inputs.  Concerning
the gross margin on financing income alone, the percentages decreased to
53.1% for the three months ended May 31, 2000 from 59.9% for the three months
ended May 31, 1999.  The decrease in gross margin percentage from last year
is the result of continued increase in leverage and financing fees associated
with changes in the commercial paper program over the same fiscal quarter on
year ago.  The provision for doubtful notes decreased slightly to 1.8% of net
revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2000 as compared to 1.9% for
May 31, 1999, as a result of improved portfolio performance of the Company.

Operating Expenses:

Operating expenses increased slightly to 2.0% from 1.9% of net revenues for
the three months ended May 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in
operating expense is a result of infrastructure development of Powerfarm,
the Company's e-commerce initiative.  Operating expenses as a percentage of
net revenues exclusive of Powerfarm declined to 1.8% of net revenues as a
result of increased economies of scale.  The increase in the dollar amount of
operating expenses is attributed primarily to the Company's growth.  Payroll
and payroll related expenses increased to $2,047 for the three months ended
May 31, 2000 from $1,845 for the three months ended May 31, 1999.

Discontinued Operations:

During fiscal 2000 the Company decided to discontinue the operations for the
three retail service centers in Northwestern Illinois.  The Company began
leasing the three retail service centers in May of 1997 as a pilot program to
increase its customer base in Northwestern Illinois, as well as create
synergies to improve margins on the sale of fertilizer and agricultural
chemicals.  Due to changes in market conditions at the retail level, the
Company was not successful in developing a profitable customer base in the
area.  In addition, management's long-term strategies for continued growth and
profitability are focused on services, information and technology rather than
bricks and mortar.  Net operating (loss) from discontinued operations were
none and ($26), for the periods ended May 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Net Income:

Net income increased 1.6% to $3,125 for the three months ended May 31, 2000
from $3,077 for the three months ended May 31, 1999.  The increase in net
income is attributable to the increase in net revenues and the corresponding
increase in gross profit.  The percentage increase in net income was
less than the increase in net revenue due to the expenses associated with
infrastructure development of Powerfarm.com, the Company's e-commerce
initiative, and lower farm input margins as discussed above.

Powerfarm:

Powerfarm.com has compiled the most comprehensive assortment of agriculture
products, services and credit options available on the Internet today.
Products currently available include seed, fertilizer and crop protection
chemicals, along with headline ag news, market quotes and weather.
Growers can shop at their convenience day or night for products and sign
up for additional services like crop insurance, grain marketing programs,
crop scouting and soil sampling services.  Within the Powerfarm Community,
growers can post questions for the Company's agronomists and Certified Crop
Advisors.  The Company continues discussions with additional suppliers
serving the $250 billion agriculture industry.

Powerfarm's impact on first quarter earnings resulted in a decline of
approximately $0.04 per share on diluted basis.  Powerfarm's results
included revenues of approximately $400,000 and expenses related to
infrastructure and web site development and the ongoing operations
of Powerfarm of $354,000 resulting in a net loss of $221,000 for
Powerfarm operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2001.  The Company
expects Powerfarm operations to operate at a loss during fiscal 2001.

Inflation:

The Company does not believe the Company's net revenues and income from
continuing operations were significantly impacted by inflation or changing
prices in fiscal 2000 or the first quarter of fiscal 2001.

Seasonality:

The Company's revenues and income are directly related to the growing cycle
for crops.  Accordingly, quarterly revenues and income vary during each fiscal
year.  The following table shows the Company's quarterly net revenues and net
income for fiscal 2000 and the first quarter of fiscal 2001.  This information
is derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements which include, in
the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments which
management consider necessary for a fair statement of results of those
periods.  The operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative
of the results for any future period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

At May 31, 2000 the Company had working capital of $53,099 an increase of
$7,038 over a year ago and an increase of $7,960 since February 29, 2000.

                                -10-
<PAGE>

The components of this net increase, since February 29, 2000, were (i) $7,881
resulting from operating activities, consisting of approximately, $3,125 in
net income, $92 in depreciation, $81 in amortization, and the remainder from
a net change in other working capital items, (ii) capital expenditures of
approximately $124 related to the acquisition of equipment and furniture, and
(iii) net proceeds of $203 from the issuance of common stock upon exercise of
options and sales of stock through the employee stock purchase plan.

The Company entered into a five-year asset backed securitized financing
program through fiscal 2004 with a maximum available borrowing amount of $325
million.  Under the terms of the five-year facility, the Company sells and
may continue to sell or contribute certain notes receivable to Ag Acceptance
Corporation ("Ag Acceptance"), wholly owned, special purpose subsidiary of the
Company.  Ag Acceptance pledges its interest in these notes receivable to a
commercial paper market conduit entity on $255 million of the facility which
incurs interest at variable rates in the commercial paper market and the
remaining $70 million is a three-year term note with interest at a variable
cost of LIBOR plus 25 basis points.  The agreement contains various
restrictive covenants, including, among others, restrictions on mergers,
issuance of stock, declaration or payment of dividends, transactions with
affiliates, and requires the Company to maintain certain levels of equity and
pretax earnings.  Advances under the facility are made subject to portfolio
performance, financial covenant restrictions and borrowing base calculations.

At May 31, 2000, the Company had a maximum amount available under the asset
backed securitized financing program of approximately $0.2 million, based on
borrowing base computations as provided by the agreement.

In conjunction with the securitized financing program, the Company currently
maintains an $8.5 million bank line of credit through July 2000.  The line of
credit is accessible to cover any potential deficiencies in available funds
financed through the securitization program.  All borrowings are
collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company.  The agreement
also requires that the total outstanding borrowings be repaid in full for 10
consecutive days during the Company's second fiscal quarter.  The agreement
contains various restrictive covenants, including, among others, restrictions
on mergers, issuance of stock, declaration or payment of dividends, loans to
stockholders, and requires the Company to maintain certain levels of equity
and pretax earnings.  At May 31, 2000, the Company had a maximum amount
available under the agreement of approximately $1.0 million based on the
borrowing base computation as provided by the agreement.

During 1998, the Company negotiated an additional bank line of credit with
a maximum available borrowing amount of $12 million.  The line of credit is
accessible to cover the Company's funding requirements for its intermediate
loan program.  All borrowings are collateralized by substantially all assets
of the Company.  The agreement contains various restrictive covenants,
including, among others, restrictions on mergers, issuance of stock,
declaration or payment of dividends, loans to stockholders, and requires the
Company to maintain  certain  levels  of  equity  and pretax earnings.
Advances under the line of credit agreement are also subject to portfolio
performance, financial covenant restrictions, and borrowing base calculations.
At May 31, 2000, approximately $0.9 million was available based on the
borrowing base computation as provided by the agreement.

Subsequent to end of the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company received
a commitment for a $30 million term loan.  The term loan will be due in equal
annual installments beginning in July of 2002 through maturity in July 2005.
In conjunction with this $30 million five-year term note, the Company will
extend the terms and increase their $8.5 million revoloving bank line of credit
to $15 million dollars.  Also, the Company's will use the proceeds from the
$30 million term loan to pay off and terminate the $12 million line of credit.

Management believes that the financial resources available to it, including
its bank lines of credit, asset backed securitization program, five-year term

                                 -11-

note, trade credit, its equity and internally generated funds, will be
sufficient to finance the Company and its operations in the foreseeable
future.  The Company currently has no significant capital commitments.
