The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company’s financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2006 filed with the Commission on June 16, 2006.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” SFAS No. 158 requires the recognition of the funded status of a defined benefit plan in the statement of financial position, requires that changes in the funded status be recognized through comprehensive income and expands disclosures. SFAS No. 158 is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2007. The Company does not expect a material impact as a result of adopting SFAS No. 158 on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This statement establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company starting in fiscal 2009. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, the adoption of this statement will have on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108), to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires that the Company quantify misstatements based on their impact on each of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. SAB 108 is effective as of the end of our 2007 fiscal year, allowing a one-time transitional cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as the beginning of the fiscal year for errors that were not previously deemed material, but are material under the guidance in SAB 108. The Company does not expect the impact of adopting SAB 108 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

On June 23, 2005, the Company and the former Universal Chemicals principals (the “defendants”) executed a settlement agreement in full and final resolution of the Company’s claims, as well as any claims the defendants may have or may have had against the Company. The settlement agreement required the defendants to surrender to the Company 75,358 shares of the Company’s common stock, which they received as consideration for the May 2000 acquisition. The 75,358 shares represent a partial reimbursement for the $3.0 million settlement paid by the Company in fiscal 2004. Both the original $3.0 million settlement paid by the Company and the settlement received from the Universal Chemicals shareholders were recorded within the litigation settlement line of the Statements of Income. The agreement also terminated the non-competition provisions of the Company’s agreements with the defendants, relieving the Company of the obligation to pay $500,000 to the defendants over the next five years as consideration for these provisions. The settlement agreement called for the parties to execute mutual releases and a stipulation of dismissal. Litigation settlement income of $1,015,826 was recorded in the Pharmaceutical segment during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 as the Company received the 75,358 shares and the executed final releases and stipulations.

The Company is involved in various legal actions arising from the normal course of business. Management is of the opinion that any judgment or settlement resulting from pending or threatened litigation would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

The Company has two leases of land, and at the end of the lease term (currently 2018 if the leases are not renewed), the Company has a specified amount of time to remove the equipment and buildings. At the end of the specified amount of time, anything that remains on the land becomes the property of the lessor, and the lessor has the option to either maintain the property or remove the property at the Company’s expense. The Company has not been able to reasonably estimate the fair value of the asset retirement obligations, primarily due to the combination of the following factors: the leases do not expire in the near future; the Company has a history of extending the leases with the lessor and currently intends to do so at expiration of this lease period; the lessor does not have a history of terminating leases with its tenants; and because it is more likely than not that the buildings will have value at the end of the lease life and therefore, may not be removed by either the lessee or the lessor. Therefore, in accordance with SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” and FASB Interpretation 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations- an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143,” the Company has not recorded an asset retirement obligation as of December 31, 2006. The Company will continue to monitor the factors surrounding the requirement to record an asset retirement obligation and will recognize the fair value of a liability in the period in which it is incurred and a reasonable estimate can be made.

Sales increased $2,686,189, or 7.8%, in the three months ended December 31, 2006, and $13,849,245, or 13.0%, in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the same periods a year ago. Sales of bulk chemicals, including caustic soda, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 were approximately 33% and 35% of total sales, respectively, and were approximately 35% and 36% for the same respective periods in the previous year. Industrial segment sales increased by $1,897,950 or 8.9% in the three months ended December 31, 2006 and increased by $8,638,260 or 14.1% in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the same respective periods in 2005. The sales increase for the three and nine-months ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily a result of increased sales volumes within existing product lines. Caustic soda volumes sold during the nine months ended December 31, 2006 were comparable to the prior year period. Water Treatment segment sales increased by $1,473,978 or 14.1% and $6,116,133 or 16.0% respectively, in the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the same respective periods in 2005. During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2006, the Water Treatment segment sales increases were attributable to selling price increases connected with material cost increases and successful expansion of existing product lines to new and existing customers. Pharmaceutical sales declined by 27.4% to $1,816,563 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and declined by 12.0% to $6,662,951 for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006. The decrease in sales was due primarily to restrictions placed on the Company’s ability to sell certain products by the Minneapolis District Office of the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) and, to a lesser extent, competitive pressures. The FDA matter is described in more detail below.

In September 2006, the Company received a warning letter from the FDA. The Company responded to this letter and subsequently received a letter from the FDA in November 2006 requesting that the Company cease shipments of certain products until it resolved certain issues with the FDA with respect to the validation of packaging configurations and expiration dating for those products. The Company is working to resolve this matter as promptly as possible and suspended shipment of the affected products to customers until

the matter is resolved. The FDA has also requested that the Company cease shipments of certain other pharmaceutical products until this matter is resolved and the Company is complying with this request. The Company has received clearance from the FDA to sell some of the products initially affected, however sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 are expected to decrease in comparison to the prior year and to be relatively consistent with the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The Company currently has approximately $100,000 of Pharmaceutical products in inventory that it is not permitted to sell as a result of this matter. At this time, the Company is unable to determine the impact of the FDA letter on future results of operations for the Pharmaceutical segment, however the Company does not expect a material impact to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.

Gross margin, as a percentage of sales, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 was 18.9% and 24.0%, respectively, compared to 21.0% and 24.2%, respectively, for the comparable periods of 2005. For the Industrial segment, gross margin, as a percentage of sales, was 15.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to 16.6% in the prior year and 19.5% for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 compared to 18.9% for the comparable period in 2005. The decrease for the three months ended December 31, 2006 was primarily attributable to the LIFO method of valuing inventory, which negatively impacted the gross margin as a result of changes in the cost of caustic soda and inventory levels, and to a lesser extent a change in product mix. Gross margin, as a percentage of sales, for the Water Treatment segment was 25.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to 27.6% in the comparable period of 2005 and 30.3% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2006 compared to 31.6% for the comparable period of 2005. The decreases were primarily attributable to the LIFO method of valuing inventory, which negatively impacted the gross margin as a result of changes in material costs and inventory levels and changes in product mix. For both the Industrial and Water Treatment segments, the Company attempts to maintain relatively constant dollar margins as the cost of caustic soda and other raw material costs increase or decrease. The product costs are normally subject to fluctuations, which are expected to continue in future periods. By maintaining relatively stable dollar margins, the gross margin percentage will decrease when the cost of the product is increasing and will increase when the cost of the product is decreasing. Gross margin, as a percentage of sales, for the Pharmaceutical segment was 24.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to 31.7% in the comparable period of fiscal 2005 and was 29.3% for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 compared to 30.3% for the same period a year ago. The decreases were primarily attributable to the decrease in sales associated with the FDA matter as discussed above as sales were not at a level sufficient to cover fixed costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2,007,678, or 42.6% and $4,038,509, or 25.6%, for the three and nine-months ended December 31, 2006, respectively. A significant portion of the increase was due to costs associated with the Company’s implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, including consultants and contractors, depreciation, and employee overtime. Consulting and contractor fees were approximately $670,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2006, which is expected to remain relatively consistent for the three months ended April 1, 2007 and are expected to gradually decrease in fiscal 2008. To a lesser extent, increased staff to support sales growth also contributed to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Excluding the costs associated with the implementation of the ERP, employee compensation and benefits comprise the majority of the selling, general and administrative expenditures.

Investment income increased $388,822 for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a loss of $211,859 recognized during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and a loss of $30,595 recognized during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 related to a decline in the market value of an investment that was deemed other than temporary, and a higher rate of return on the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities during the current period.

The effective income tax rate was 50.4% and 38.4% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006, respectively compared to 33.6% and 35.4% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005, respectively. The significant increase for the three months ended December 31, 2006 was due to an increase in the estimated effective rate for fiscal 2007 from 37.6% to 38.4% due to changes in the estimated benefit for the deduction of qualified production activities.

For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2006, cash provided by operations was $7,558,850 compared to $4,327,666 for the same period in the prior year. Fluctuations in inventory and accounts payable were principally responsible for the increase in cash provided by operating activities. Due to the nature of our operations, which includes purchases of large quantities of bulk chemicals, timing of purchases can result in significant changes in operating cash flow. Cash used in investing activities decreased by $1,592,070, primarily due to a $1,526,673 decrease in capital expenditures during fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006. Capital expenditures during the nine months ended December 31, 2006 consisted primarily of facility improvement projects and ERP-related additions. Capital expenditures for the remainder of this fiscal year are expected to be relatively comparable with the three previous years and are expected to relate primarily to facilities improvement projects.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments (excluding held-to-maturity investments of $371,581 at December 31, 2006 and $365,000 at April 2, 2006) decreased slightly from $25,790,392 as of April 2, 2006 to $25,483,255 as of December 31, 2006. Cash equivalents consist of money market accounts and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less. Investments available-for-sale consists of investment contracts with high-rated, stable insurance companies; marketable securities consisting of corporate and municipal bonds; U.S. Government agency securities and a mutual fund carried at fair value. The Company’s investment objectives in order of importance are the preservation of principal, maintenance of liquidity and rate of return. The fixed income portfolio consists primarily of investment grade securities to minimize credit risk, and they generally mature within 10 years. The Company invests in a mutual fund with characteristics similar to its fixed income portfolio to enhance its investment portfolio diversification. The Company monitors the maturities of its investments to ensure that funding is available for anticipated cash needs. At December 31, 2006 and April 2, 2006, respectively, $3,294,110 and $5,293,341 of available-for-sale investments were classified as non-current assets as they were determined to be temporarily impaired and have maturity dates of one year or longer. These investments were not determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired as the Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments for a period of time sufficient to allow a recovery of fair value. Expected future cash flows from operations, cash equivalents and investments included within current assets are expected to fund the Company’s short-term working capital needs.

At December 31, 2006, the Company had an investment portfolio of fixed income securities valued at $6,754,048, a mutual fund investment valued at $7,541,785, and $11,559,003 classified as cash and cash equivalents and variable rate securities. The fixed income securities, like all fixed income instruments, are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value if market interest rates increase. However, while the value of the investment may fluctuate in any given period, the Company intends to hold its fixed income investments until maturity. Consequently, the Company would not expect to recognize an adverse impact on net income or cash flows or the amount ultimately realized on the investment. The value of the mutual fund that the Company is invested in, like all mutual funds, may increase or decrease due to market volatility. The Company recorded losses of $30,595 and $242,454 during the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, due to declines in market value that were deemed other than temporary. The mutual fund held by the Company as of December 31, 2006 is a short-term bond fund that invests primarily in U.S. Government securities.

Expected future cash flows from operations, coupled with the Company’s strong financial position, puts the Company in a position to fund both short and long-term working capital and capital investment needs with internally generated funds. Management does not, therefore, anticipate the need to engage in significant financing activities in either the short or long-term. If the need to obtain additional capital does arise, however, management is confident that the Company’s total debt to capital ratio at December 31, 2006 puts it in a position to obtain debt financing on favorable terms.

Management periodically reviews opportunities to enhance the value of the Company through strategic acquisitions, other capital investments and strategic divestitures; and at this time, no material commitments for such investments or divestitures exist. Until appropriate investment opportunities are identified, the Company will invest excess cash in conservative investments.

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company’s financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2006. The accounting policies used in preparing the Company’s interim fiscal 2007 financial statements are the same as those described in the Company’s Annual Report.

In preparing the financial statements, the Company follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company re-evaluates its estimates on an on-going basis. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company considers the following policies to involve the most judgment in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements.

Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes revenue when title passes to our customers, which occurs primarily when product has been shipped, if there is evidence that the customer has agreed to purchase the products, performance has occurred, the price and terms of sale are fixed, and collection of the receivable is reasonably assured.

Investments – Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 59, “Accounting for Noncurrent Marketable Equity Securities,” and FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS No. 115-1 and FAS No. 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” provide guidance on determining when an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired. Investments are reviewed quarterly for indicators of other-than-temporary impairment. This determination requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, we evaluate, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost; the general market conditions, including factors such as industry and sector performance, rating agency actions, and our intent and ability to hold the investment. Investments with an indicator are further evaluated to determine the likelihood of a significant adverse effect on the fair value and amount of the impairment as necessary. If market, industry and/or investee conditions deteriorate, we may incur future impairments.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. Substantially all of the Company’s receivables are due from customers located in the United States. The estimated allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon the age of the outstanding receivables and the payment history and credit worthiness of each customer. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on a quarterly basis. There can be no assurance that our estimates will match actual amounts ultimately written off.

Inventories – Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. On a quarterly basis, management assesses the inventory quantities on hand to estimated future usage and sales and, if necessary, writes down the value of inventory deemed obsolete or excess to market. Though management considers these reserves adequate and proper, changes in sales volumes due to unexpected economic or competitive conditions are among the factors that could materially affect the adequacy of this reserve.

LIFO Reserve – Inventories are primarily valued with cost being determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. We may incur significant fluctuations in our gross margins due primarily to changes in the cost of a single, large-volume component of inventory. The price of this inventory component may vary depending on the balance between supply and demand. Management reviews the LIFO reserve on a quarterly basis.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization and property, plant, and equipment, when events and changes in circumstances warrant such a review, such as prolonged industry downturn or significant reductions in projected future cash flows. The carrying value of long-lived assets is considered impaired when the projected future undiscounted cash flows from such assets are less than their carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Significant judgments and assumptions are required in the forecast of future operating results used in the preparation of the estimated future cash flows. We periodically review the appropriateness of the estimated useful lives of our long-lived assets. Changes in these estimates could have a material effect on the assessment of long-lived assets.

Self Insurance – The Company is self insured for employee medical benefits and third party insurance is carried for what is believed to be the major portion of potential exposures that would exceed the Company’s self-insured retentions. The Company has established a liability for potential uninsured claims. The Company considers factors such as known outstanding claims, historical experience, and other relevant factors in setting the liability. These reserves are monitored and adjusted when warranted by changing circumstances. Though management considers these balances adequate, a substantial change in the number and/or severity of claims could result in materially different amounts for this item.

Income Taxes – In the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, management calculates income taxes. This includes estimating the current tax liability as well as assessing temporary differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and book accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded on the balance sheet. These assets and liabilities are analyzed regularly and management assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. A valuation allowance is established to the extent that management believes that recovery is not likely. Reserves are also established for potential and ongoing audits of federal and state tax issues. The Company routinely monitors the potential impact of such situations and believes that it is properly reserved. Valuations related to amounts owed and tax rates could be impacted by changes to tax codes, changes in statutory tax rates, the Company’s future taxable income levels and the results of tax audits.

At December 31, 2006, the Company had an investment portfolio of fixed income securities of $6,754,048, a mutual fund investment valued at $7,541,785, investment contracts of $3,533,871 and cash and cash equivalents of $8,025,132. The fixed income securities, like all fixed income instruments, are subject to interest rate risks and will decline in value if market interest rates increase. However, while the value of the investment may fluctuate in any given period, the Company intends to hold its fixed income investments until maturity. Consequently, the Company would not expect to recognize an adverse impact on net income or cash flows during the holding period. The value of the mutual fund, like all mutual funds, may increase or decrease due to market volatility. The mutual fund consists primarily of U.S. Government securities. The investment contracts are variable rate contracts with high-rated, stable insurance companies that reset on a quarterly basis. A hypothetical 1% change in rates would impact investment income by approximately $35,000, based upon the amount of variable rate investment contracts held at December 31, 2006. The Company adjusts the carrying value of its investments down if an impairment occurs that is other than temporary.

The Company is subject to the risk inherent in the cyclical nature of commodity chemical prices. However, the Company does not currently purchase forward contracts or otherwise engage in hedging activities with respect to the purchase of commodity chemicals. We generally attempt to pass changes in material prices to our customers; however, there are no assurances that we will be able to pass on the increases in the future.

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our published financial statements and other disclosures included in this report. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter ended December 31, 2006 pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the purposes for which they were designed as of the end of such quarter because implementation and transitional issues encountered with implementation of our new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system, discussed in more detail below, resulted in our inability to file this report within the filing period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

We implemented the new ERP system in October 2006. ERP systems are highly complex and as a result of the implementation there were significant changes in our internal controls, processes and procedures during the quarter ended December 31, 2006. These changes primarily affect recording and reporting of revenues, inventory and expenditures. We also encountered implementation and transitional issues with the new ERP system, including significant issues related to business segment reporting. To address these issues, we modified ongoing processes and controls during the implementation period. These modifications included putting in place a number of manual controls and procedures as management could not test or rely on certain of the internal controls that are part of the ERP system. Management is in the process of planning and implementing actions to replace the majority of these manual controls and procedures with automated controls in subsequent quarters. We were unable to timely file this report as significant additional resources and efforts were required in order to prepare our condensed financial statements as of and for the quarter ended December 31, 2006.

Other than as described above, there was no change during the quarter in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2006, as updated by the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed since that date.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
