     This Amendment No. 2 on Form 8-K/A to the Current Report on Form 8-K ("Form
8-K") for August 28, 1998 of AgriBioTech, Inc., a Nevada Corporation ("the
Company") is submitted in order to provide additional pro forma financial
information and reflect adjustments to pro forma information previously filed.

of the Company's historical financial information.

                    Pro Forma Combined Financial Information

                                  (Unaudited)


The following pro forma combined summary of operations combines the results of
operations of AgriBioTech, Inc. ("ABT"), Lofts Seed, Inc. and Budd Seed, Inc.
(collectively "Lofts"), Seed Corporation of America and Green Seed Company
Limited Partnership (collectively "SeedCo"), Oseco Inc. ("Oseco"), Allied Seed
Division of Agway, Inc. ("Allied"), and other individually insignificant
acquisitions since July 1, 1997 (collectively "Other Acquisitions") as if all
acquisitions occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.  The pro forma
combined summary of operations reflects known changes resulting from the
acquisitions but does not reflect impacts of any changes in operations,
anticipated efficiencies and synergies from consolidation.

The pro forma combined summary balance sheet as of June 30, 1998 reflects ABT's
consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1998 combined with the balance sheets
of Oseco, Allied, and Other Acquisitions to the extent such acquisitions
occurred after June 30, 1998, as if such acquisitions occurred as of June 30,
1998. All such acquisitions are reflected in ABT's consolidated balance sheet
included in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.

The pro forma combined financial information does not purport to represent what
ABT's financial position or results of operations would actually have been if
such transactions had, in fact, occurred on the above dates and are not
necessarily representative of any future period. The pro forma adjustments are
based on preliminary estimates, available information, and certain assumptions
that management deems appropriate and may be revised as additional information
becomes available. The pro forma combined financial information should be read
in conjunction with the historical financial statements of ABT, Lofts, SeedCo,
Oseco, and Allied previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

               Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Information

                                  (Unaudited)

(A)  The year ended June 30, 1998 for ABT includes the operations of Lofts and
     SeedCo for the period from January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998, and the
     operations of Other Acquisitions for the period from their respective
     acquisition dates through June 30, 1998.  The amounts under the Lofts and
     SeedCo columns are for the six-month period ended December 31, 1997.  The

     eliminated.

(B)  To reflect depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization
     of intangible assets based on market value adjustments in connection with
     applying purchase accounting.  Intangible assets resulting from the
     application of purchase accounting include goodwill (amortized over 10 to
     40 years, with a weighted average of 27 years) and covenants not to compete
     (amortized over 6 to 8 years).

(C)  To adjust interest expense for the cash purchase price of the acquisitions.
     The pro forma amounts assume that payments required to be made in the
     acquisitions would be obtained through approximately $83.2 million of
     proceeds from the sale of the Company's common stock in private placement
     transactions from December 1997 through August 1998 and the balance of
     $30.2 million from the Company's existing or similar short-term credit
     facilities.  Interest expense was computed using an average interest rate
     of 8.5% for the year ended June 30, 1998 and 11.6% for the three months 
     ended September 30, 1998.

(D)  To reflect the impact on average shares outstanding of shares of ABT common
     stock issued in connection with the acquisitions (2,448,961 for the year 
     ended June 30, 1998 and 52,962 for the three months ended September 30, 
     1998) and private placements (5,259,403 for the year ended June 30, 1998
     and 278,530 for the three months ended September 30, 1998) of the Company's
     common stock as if they had been outstanding for the entire period.  The
     dilutive impacts of options and warrants included in ABT's historical
     operations has been eliminated since there is a loss on a pro forma basis.

(E)  To eliminate intercompany sales and other revenue.

(F)  Prospective reductions in compensation of former owners of acquired
     entities, employee benefits, management fees, and property rent resulting
     from employment agreements, property purchased directly from former owners
     and other contractual arrangements entered into in connection with
     acquisitions.

(G)  Impact of using the first-in, first-out method of accounting for inventory
     accounted for using the last-in, first-out method prior to acquisition.

(H)  Acquisition costs expensed by acquired entities that are not applicable to
     ongoing operations.

(I)  Reflects adjustment to income taxes on pro forma combined loss before
     income taxes adjusted for nondeductible goodwill amortization.

(J)  The consolidated balance sheet of ABT as of June 30, 1998 includes the
     accounts of Lofts and SeedCo.  The amounts under the Oseco and Allied
     columns reflect their accounts as of June 30, 1998.

     assets and liabilities of acquired businesses not subject to purchase
     agreements) to the Oseco and Allied acquisitions and, to the extent
     effective after June 30, 1998, the Other Acquisitions. The total purchase
     price of $52.2 million was to be paid through the issuance of approximately
     340,505 shares of the Company's common stock valued at approximately $5.5
     million and cash of approximately $46.7 million.

(M)  To reflect the sale of 1,752,820 shares of common stock and warrants to
     purchase 886,410 shares of common stock and the application of the proceeds
     therefrom used to fund acquisitions aggregating $17,438,649.

(N)  To eliminate the operations of the fertilizer division of Willamette Seed
     Company that when purchased on August 21, 1998 was intended to be sold. In
     November 1998, the Company entered into a letter of intent to sell the
     fertilizer division that is anticipated to be consummated in December 1998.

(O)  The three months ended September 30, 1998 for ABT includes the operations
     of Lofts and SeedCo for the entire period, the operations of Allied from
     August 28, 1998 through September 30, 1998, the operations of Oseco from

     columns include such acquisitions for periods from July 1, 1998 through
     their respective acquisition dates.
