The Board of Directors
Germain's, Inc. and W-L Research, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Germain's, Inc. and 
W-L Research, Inc. (subsidiaries of Berisford International, plc) as of 
September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related combined statements of operations 
and accumulated deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These combined
financial statements are the responsibility of Germain's, Inc. and W-L Research,
Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted out audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting 
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present 
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Germain's, Inc. and 
W-L Research, Inc. (subsidiaries of Berisford International, plc) as of 
September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their combined operations and 
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

                    Notes to Combined Financial Statements

                          September 30, 1995 and 1994


(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
    ------------------------------------------

    (a) Business
        --------

        The combined financial statements include the activities of Germain's,
          Inc. (Germain's) and W-L Research, Inc. (W-L) collectively referred to
          as "the Companies." The Companies are both wholly owned subsidiaries
          of Berisford Holdings, Inc. which is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary
          of Berisford International, plc, of London, England. All significant
          intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
          combination.

        Germain's, founded in 1871 in California, focuses on the sale of alfalfa
          seed, hybrid seed corn, turf seed and other seed and nonseed products
          to dealers, distributors and large growers under the "Germain's" and
          "El Camino" brand names.

        W-L is a proprietary alfalfa seed breeding, production and marketing
          company that was founded in California in 1958. W-L sells or licenses
          proprietary varieties of dormant, semi-dormant and nondormant alfalfa,
          on a worldwide basis, through franchised distributors and private
          label customers. Germain's is W-L's largest franchised distributor.
          The Companies share administrative headquarters in Fresno, California.
          Research and customer service headquarters for W-L are located in
          Evansville, Wisconsin. W-L also maintains four alfalfa breeding and
          testing stations in the United States with facilities located in
          Wisconsin, California, Washington and Pennsylvania.

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
          and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
          liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
          date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
          and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
          from those estimates.

    (b) Inventories
        -----------
  
        Inventories, primarily consisting of seed products and supplies, are 
          valued at the lower of actual cost or market.
     
    (c) Depreciation and Amortization
        -----------------------------

        Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided over the
           estimated useful lives of the respective assets ranging between 3 to
           40 years using the straight-line method.

                    Notes to Combined Financial Statements 

(d) Intangible Assets
    -----------------

        The intangible assets primarily consist of genetic breeding bases for
various proprietary plant varieties. The genetic breeding bases, with an
original allocated cost of $12,500,000 are amortized over their expected life of
nine years using the straight-line method.

(e) Investment in Associated Entity
    -------------------------------

        The investment in associated entity represents a 50 percent ownership 
interest in SeedBiotics, a joint venture, which was incorporated into a limited 
liability corporation effective January 1, 1996. SeedBiotics is in the business 
of coating and treating seed and is located in Caldwell, Idaho. The investment 
in SeedBiotics is recorded using the equity method of accounting.

(f) Income Taxes
    ------------

        Income taxes are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this method, deferred 
income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" 
between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing 
assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax 
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

        The Companies are included in the consolidated tax return of Berisford 
Holdings, Inc. Income tax expense or benefit applicable to the Companies has 
been computed on a stand-alone basis.

(g) Common Stock
    ------------
    
        Germains is authorized to issue 1,000 shares of $0.01 par value common
stock. As of September 30, 1995 and 1994, 1,000 shares are outstanding. W-L is
authorized to issue 500,000 shares of $1 par value common stock. As of September
30, 1995 and 1994, 6,107 shares are outstanding.      

(h) Revenue Recognition
    -------------------

        The Companies recognized revenue on sales of their products when the 
products are shipped from the warehouse, reduced by a reserve for estimated 
returns. Additionally, the Companies consign out inventory to certain 
distributors. Accordingly, sales to these distributors and related gross profits
are recorded when products are resold by the distributors.

        The Companies had foreign sales of $5,852,525 and $4,683,232 in 1995 and
1994, respectively.

      (i)  Research and Development Costs
           ------------------------------

           Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and
             development expense for the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994
             was $1,003,322 and $1,277,538, respectively.

(4)   Income Taxes
      ------------

      The Companies, if treated on a stand alone basis, have incurred losses
        for income tax purposes. Utilization of these losses as carryforwards
        to offset future taxable income is dependent on the Companies having
        taxable income. The net operating losses will expire, if unable to be
        utilized, as follows:

<TABLE>

</TABLE>      

      The tax benefit of the net operating loss carryforward has been fully
        offset by a valuation allowance since the Companies cannot currently
        conclude that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be
        realized.

(5)   Benefit Plans
      -------------

      The Companies had a Supplemental Retirement Plan, which was frozen in 
        1988. The Supplemental Retirement Plan was a defined benefit plan which
        covered certain executives of the Companies. The projected benefit
        obligation as of September 30, 1995 and 1994, which is included in
        accrued expenses, is $801,251 and $758,488, respectively. The Companies
        have recorded pension expense for the years ended September 30, 1995 and
        1994 of $88,127 and $87,376, respectively.

                              GERMAIN'S, INC. AND
                              W-L RESEARCH, INC.

                    Notes to Combined Financial Statements


     The Companies participate in a noncontributory defined benefit plan for
       certain subsidiaries of Berisford Holdings that covers substantially all
       employees, not covered by collective bargaining agreements. The plan
       provides for retirement, death and disability benefits. Plan benefits
       vest 100 percent after an employee completes 5 years of service. Plan
       benefits were frozen effective September 30, 1995, thus limiting
       participation solely to those employees who had entered the plan as
       participants prior to September 30, 1995. The Companies have recorded
       pension expense for the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 of
       $79,002 and $69,684 respectively. The actuarial present value of
       accumulated plan benefits was $1,462,768 as of December 31, 1995. The net
       assets available for plan benefits was $1,095,522 as of December 31,
       1995.

     The Companies participate in a defined contribution plan which covers
       substantially all employees who have completed one year of employment.
       The Companies will match 50 percent of the participant's contribution for
       the first 5 percent of the participant's salary. Participants do not vest
       in the Companies' contribution until after five years, at which time they
       become 100 percent vested. The Companies made contributions of $124,462
       and $122,956 for the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,
       respectively.

(6)  Commitments and Contingencies
     -----------------------------

     The Companies contract with growers to produce seed which the Companies
       are obligated to purchase upon delivery by the growers. These contracts
       are typically for one to three growing seasons.

     In the normal course of business, the Companies have been named as
       defendant in certain lawsuits. Management believes that the final outcome
       of the lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the
       accompanying combined financial statements.

(7)  Subsequent Event
     ----------------
    
     In November 1995, Germain's sold assets pertaining to its cotton seed
       operations. The sales price was approximately $1,800,000 and Germain's
       recorded approximately a $500,000 gain on the sale.      
    
     AgriBio Tech, Inc. (ABT) purchased substantially all of the assets of the
       Companies effective September 1, 1996. The transaction also included the
       acquisition by ABT of the 50 percent ownership interest in SeedBiotics.
       The transaction was recorded by ABT using the purchase method of
       accounting. The net purchase price (paid in cash) of $15,997,034 included
       operating assets and liabilities, and trademark rights and proprietary
       rights to certain crop varieties, as well as the genetic breeding base
       for the development of additional varieties.

(1) Presentation of Unaudited Combined Financial Statements
    -------------------------------------------------------

     The unaudited combined financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and,
therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position, results of operations and accumulated
deficit and cash flows, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. The information furnished, in the opinion of management reflects all
adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for
the nine-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. The Companies' business is
subject to wide seasonal fluctuations and, therefore, the results of operations
are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for any other
interim period or for the year as a whole.

                                  (Unaudited)

        The following pro forma combined summary of operations combines the
results of operations of ABT, ATSS, CSI, B-H, and W-L/G for the year ended June
30, 1996 and for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996. The business
of these entities is subject to wide seasonal fluctuations and, therefore, the
results of operations for periods less than twelve months may not be indicative
of annual results. The pro forma combined summary of operations should be read
in conjunction with the historical statements. A pro forma combined balance
sheet is not presented because the acquisitions are reflected in ABT's
consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1996 filed in ABT's September 30,
1996 Form 10-QSB.
