NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED):

1.   BASIS OF REPORTING


     The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited
     and do not include certain information and disclosures included in the
     Annual Report on Form 10-K of American Pacific Corporation (the "Company").
     The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2001 was derived
     from the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual
     Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2000.  Such statements
     should therefore be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
     Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on
     Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2000.  In the opinion of
     Management, however, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
     accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The
     operating results and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods
     ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that will
     be achieved for the full fiscal year or for future periods.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
     principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.  Significant
     estimates used by the Company include estimated useful lives for
     depreciable and amortizable assets, the estimated valuation allowance for
     deferred tax assets, and estimated cash flows in assessing the
     recoverability of long-lived assets.  Actual results may differ from these
     and other estimates.

     RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued two
     new pronouncements:  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
     No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and other
     Intangible Assets".  SFAS 141 prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interest
     method for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and also
     applies to all business combinations accounted for by the purchase method
     that are completed after June 30, 2001.  There are also transition
     provisions that apply to business combinations completed before July 1,
     2001, that were accounted for by the purchase method.  SFAS 142 is
     effective for fiscal years beginning after December 14, 2001 to all
     goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in an entity's balance
     sheet at that date, regardless of when those assets were initially
     recognized.  The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS 141
     and SFAS 142 and has not adopted such provisions in its June 30, 2001
     financial statements.

2.   NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE


     Basic per share amounts are computed by dividing net income by average
     shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted per share amounts are
     computed by dividing net income by average shares outstanding plus the
     dilutive effect of common share equivalents.  The effect of stock options
     and warrants outstanding to purchase approximately 3.0 million shares of
     common stock were not included in diluted per share calculations during the
     three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, since the
     average exercise price of such options and warrants was greater than the
     average price of the Company's common stock during these periods.

</TABLE>

4.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     Trace amounts of perchlorate chemicals have been found in Lake Mead.  Clark
     County, Nevada, where Lake Mead is situated, is the location of Kerr-McGee
     Chemical Corporation's ("Kerr-McGee") ammonium perchlorate ("AP")
     operations, and was the location of the Company's AP operations until May
     1988.  The Company is cooperating with State and local agencies, and with
     Kerr-McGee and other interested firms, in the investigation and evaluation
     of the source or sources of these trace amounts, possible environmental
     impacts, and potential remediation methods.  Until these investigations and
     evaluations have reached definitive conclusions, it will not be possible
     for the Company to determine the extent to which, if at all, the Company
     may be called upon to contribute to or assist with future remediation
     efforts, or the financial impact, if any, of such cooperation,
     contributions or assistance.  Accordingly, no accrual for potential costs
     has been made in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial
     Statements.

     In 1999, two lawsuits were filed in Utah state court against the Company
     and certain unrelated equipment and product manufacturers claiming
     unspecified monetary damages as a result of a fire and explosion on July
     30, 1997 at the Company's AP production facility that resulted in the death
     of one employee and the injury of three employees.  In March 2001, the
     Company was dismissed without prejudice from these lawsuits.

5.   ELECTRIC ENERGY

     Electric energy is one of the Company's primary raw material costs for the
     production of AP. The Company is a party to an agreement with Utah Power
     ("UP") for its electrical requirements. The agreement provided for the
     supply of power for a minimum of a ten-year period, which began in 1989.
     This agreement had a three year notice of termination provision and, on
     April 7, 1999, UP provided written notice of termination, effective April
     7, 2002.

     The Company recently experienced unusual increases in its monthly power
     bills at its Utah production facilities as compared to average historical
     monthly amounts. For the months of November and December 2000, and January
     2001, the Company received power bills from UP totaling approximately $1.9
     million, which were approximately $1.5 million in excess of average
     historical monthly amounts. The Company claimed that UP had improperly
     calculated replacement energy costs and breached the agreement by failing
     to comply with the advance notice provisions of the agreement. Accordingly,
     the Company disputed all power bills received from UP since January 1999,
     claiming it had been overcharged by approximately $2.9 million through
     January 2001.

     A partial settlement of this dispute has been reached in which the Company
     and UP have entered into an amendment of the electric supply agreement
     dated February 21, 2001. Under the terms of the amendment, the Company has
     been placed on the equivalent of Utah's Electric Service Schedule No. 9.
     Under this rate schedule, the Company's estimated monthly power bills will
     be approximately 20% to 30% higher than historical monthly amounts prior to
     the dispute. As a result, the Company will

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

     experience an estimated annual increase in power costs that could be as
     much as $0.6 million. This amendment has been approved by the Utah Public
     Service Commission.

     In May 2001, the Company and UP reached a settlement on the remaining
     disputed matters. The settlement includes both a cash payment from UP to
     the Company and a demand curtailment arrangement under Utah's Electric
     Service Schedule No. 71. Under the curtailment, the Company has accepted
     UP's offer to curtail demand during the months of June, July and August
     2001. As a result of the Company's lower perchlorate sales volumes expected
     in fiscal 2001, the Company believes it can operate at lower total and peak
     electric energy consumption levels during these months and, at the same
     time, operate efficiently and meet its customers' product delivery
     requirements. The Company estimates that the settlement and curtailment
     arrangement will result in approximately an additional $2.0 million in cash
     flow (over the amount which would otherwise be expended on monthly power
     bills under the February 21, 2001 amendment described above) to the
     Company. Through June 30, 2001, the Company had realized and recognized
     (initially as an adjustment to inventories) approximately $1.1 million
     resulting from the settlement and curtailment arrangement. However, there
     can be no assurances given with respect to this estimate. The ultimate
     amount of incremental cash flow to the Company will depend upon the
     Company's ability to effectively operate under the curtailment arrangement.

6.   INCOME TAXES

     The Company's effective income tax rates were approximately 37% and 0%
     during the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
     In fiscal 1997, the Company established a deferred tax valuation allowance.
     In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company released its deferred tax
     valuation allowance and recognized approximately $15.4 million in net
     deferred tax assets.

7.   REAL ESTATE EQUITY INVESTMENTS

     The Company's interest in Gibson Ranch Limited Liability Company ("GRLLC")
     is accounted for using the equity method.  GRLLC operates on a calendar
     year.  The Company recognizes its share of the earnings in GRLLC (after
     amortization of differences in basis) on a current quarterly basis.
     Summarized financial information for GRLLC as of and for the three-month
     and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2001 was as follows:

8.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

     The Company's three reportable operating segments are specialty chemicals,
     environmental protection equipment and real estate sales and development.
     These segments are based upon business units that offer distinct products
     and services, are operationally managed separately and produce products
     using different production methods.

     The Company evaluates the performance of each operating segment and
     allocates resources based upon operating income or loss before an
     allocation of interest expense and income taxes. The accounting policies of
     each reportable operating segment are the same as those of the Company.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

     The Company's specialty chemicals segment manufactures and sells
     perchlorate chemicals used principally in solid rocket propellants for the
     space shuttle and defense programs, sodium azide used principally in the
     inflation of certain automotive airbag systems and Halotron(TM) I, a clean
     gas fire extinguishing agent designed to replace Halon 1211. The specialty
     chemicals segment production facilities are located in Iron County, Utah.

     The Company's environmental protection equipment operating segment designs,
     manufactures and markets systems for the control of noxious odors, the
     disinfection of waste water streams and the treatment of seawater. These
     operations are also located in Iron County, Utah.

     At June 30, 2001, the Company's real estate operating segment had
     approximately 58 remaining acres of improved land in the Gibson Business
     Park near Las Vegas, Nevada, that is held for development and sale. Recent
     activity has consisted of sales of land parcels. Although not included in
     operating activities, this segment also has an equity investment in a
     residential joint venture that is located across the street from the Gibson
     Business Park. (See Note 7).

     Additional information about the Company's operations, by segment, for the
     three months and nine months ended June 30, is provided below.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The Company is principally engaged in the production of AP for the aerospace and
national defense industries.  In addition, the Company produces and sells sodium
azide, the primary component of a gas generant used in certain automotive airbag
safety systems, and Halotron(TM), a chemical used in fire extinguishing systems
ranging from portable fire extinguishers to airport firefighting vehicles.  The
perchlorate, sodium azide and Halotron facilities are located on the Company's
property in Southern Utah and the chemicals produced and sold at these
facilities collectively represent the Company's specialty chemical segment.  The
Company's other lines of business include the development of real estate in
Nevada and the production of environmental protection equipment, including waste
and seawater treatment systems.

During 1998, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Kerr-McGee.  On
March 12, 1998, the Company sold $75.0 million of Senior Unsecured Notes (the
"Notes"), consummated an acquisition (the "Acquisition") of certain assets from
Kerr-McGee and repurchased the remaining $25.0 million principal amount balance
outstanding of subordinated secured notes (the "Azide Notes").  Upon
consummation of the Acquisition, the Company effectively became the sole North
American producer of AP.

Sales and Operating Revenues.  Sales of the Company's perchlorate chemical
----------------------------
products, consisting almost entirely of AP sales, accounted for approximately
60% and 68% of revenues during the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and
2000, respectively.  In general, demand for AP is driven by a relatively small
number of DOD and NASA contractors; as a result, any one AP customer usually
accounts for a significant portion of the Company's revenues.

Sodium azide sales accounted for approximately 18% and 17% of revenues during
the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  The
Company's principal sodium azide customer accounted for in excess of 75% of such
revenues.

Sales of Halotron(TM) amounted to approximately 8% and 4% of revenues during the
nine-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  Halotron(TM) is
designed to replace halon-based fire extinguishing systems.  Accordingly, demand
for Halotron depends upon a number of factors including the willingness of
consumers to switch from halon-based systems, as well as existing and potential
governmental regulations.

Real estate and related sales amounted to approximately 6% and 5% of revenues
during the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  The
nature of real estate development and sales is such that the Company is unable
reliably to predict any pattern of future real estate sales or the recognition
of the equity in earnings of real estate ventures.

Environmental protection equipment sales accounted for approximately 8% and 6%
of revenues during the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.  As of July 31, 2001, this segment had no significant backlog.

Cost of Sales.  The principal elements comprising the Company's cost of sales
--------------
are depreciation and amortization, raw materials, electric power, labor,
manufacturing overhead and the basis in real estate sold.  The major raw
materials used by the Company in its production processes are graphite, sodium
chlorate, ammonia, hydrochloric acid, sodium metal, nitrous oxide and HCFC 123.
Significant increases in the cost of raw materials may have an adverse impact on
margins if the Company is unable to pass along such increases to its customers.
During the first six months of fiscal 2001, the Company purchased greater
quantities of certain raw materials because of recent excessive power costs (see
Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).  Prices paid by the
Company for raw materials have historically been relatively stable, although the
Company has recently experienced cost increases on certain raw materials,
particularly on HCFC 123 and those requiring substantial energy costs to
produce.  All the raw materials used in the Company's manufacturing processes
have been available in commercial quantities and the Company has had no
difficulty obtaining

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

necessary raw materials. A substantial portion of the total costs of operating
the Company's specialty chemical plants, consisting mostly of labor and
overhead, are largely fixed in nature.

Income Taxes.  The Company's effective income tax rates were approximately 37%
------------
and 0% during the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
In fiscal 1997, the Company established a deferred tax valuation allowance.  In
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company released its deferred tax
valuation allowance and recognized approximately $15.4 million in net deferred
tax assets.

Net Income.  Although the Company's net income and diluted net income per share
----------
have not been subject to seasonal fluctuations, they have been and are expected
to continue to be subject to variations from quarter to quarter and year to year
due to the following factors, among others: (i) as discussed in Note 4 of the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company may incur material
costs associated with certain contingencies; (ii) the timing of real estate and
related sales and the equity in earnings of real estate ventures is not
predictable; (iii) the recognition of revenues from environmental protection
equipment orders not accounted for as long-term contracts depends upon orders
generated and the timing of shipment of the equipment; (iv) weighted average
common and common equivalent shares for purposes of calculating diluted net
income per share are subject to significant fluctuations based upon changes in
the market price of the Company's Common Stock due to outstanding warrants and
options; and (v) the results of periodic reviews of impairment issues; (vi) the
ability to pass on increases in raw material costs, including electric power
costs, to customers; and (vii) the magnitude, pricing and timing of AP, sodium
azide, Halotron(TM), and environmental protection equipment orders in the future
is uncertain. (See "Forward Looking Statements/Risk Factors" below.)

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2000

Sales and Operating Revenues.  Sales decreased $1.6 million, or 10%, during the
----------------------------
three months ended June 30, 2001, to $15.3 million  from $17.0 million in the
corresponding period of the prior year.  This decrease was principally
attributable to lower specialty chemical sales.  This decrease was partially
offset by an increase in environmental protection equipment and real estate
sales of approximately $3.0 million.

Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales decreased $1.8 million, or 16%, in the three
-------------
months ended June 30, 2001, to $9.1 million from $10.9 million in the
corresponding period of the prior year.  As a percentage of sales, cost of sales
was 60% during the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to 64% during
the same period last year.  These decreases were principally due to a decrease
in sales, slightly better margins associated with the Company's specialty
chemicals segment and differences in the mix of sales and associated margins.

Operating Expenses.  Operating (selling, general and administrative) expenses
------------------
decreased $0.2 million, or 8%, in the three months ended June 30, 2001, to $2.4
million from $2.6 million in the corresponding period of 2000.

Net Interest Expense.  Net interest and other expense was approximately $0.7
--------------------
million during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2000

Sales and Operating Revenues.  Sales decreased $12.2 million, or 23%, during the
----------------------------
nine months ended June 30, 2001, to $42.1 million from $54.3 million in the
corresponding period of the prior year.  The decrease was principally due to a
decrease in specialty chemical sales.  Such decrease resulted principally from
decreased perchlorate and sodium azide shipments.

In March 2000, the Company received notification from Thiokol Propulsion
("Thiokol") of a change in the fiscal 2000 purchase order for AP that resulted
in a decrease of approximately 3.23 million pounds of AP (from 10.48

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

million pounds of AP). The Company submitted a price adjustment claim under the
change order and, in September 2000, negotiated and settled the claim which
resulted in a $3.0 million payment from Thiokol. Sales volume levels for AP
declined from approximately 20.2 million pounds in fiscal 1999 to approximately
16.4 million pounds in fiscal 2000. The Company estimates sales volumes for AP
in fiscal 2001 will decrease further to between 12.5 million and 13.0 million
pounds. The recent weakness in sales volumes is primarily attributable to lower
requirements for applications in certain commercial space launch vehicles used
primarily in satellite launches, particularly telecommunication satellites. In
addition, purchases of AP for use in the solid rocket motors for the Space
Shuttle, as evidenced by the change order referred to above, have declined as a
result of existing excess inventory levels. The Company believes that such
excess should be reduced over the next few years by reason of the number of
shuttle flights planned for the construction and servicing of the International
Space Station. The Company also understands that existing plans call for
significant AP requirements over the next several years for use in the Minuteman
program. Accordingly, the Company believes that the estimated future AP
requirements for these two programs should bring North American demand for AP
back to an annual level of between 16.0 and 20.0 million pounds over the next
few years, although there can be no assurance given with respect to these
estimates. The Company has no ability to influence the demand for AP.

Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales decreased $6.5 million, or 19%, in the nine months
-------------
ended June 30, 2001, to $28.1 million from $34.6 million in the corresponding
period of the prior year.  As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 67%
during the first nine months of this fiscal year as compared to 64% during the
same period last year.  The increase in the percentage of cost of sales to sales
was principally attributable to lower specialty chemical sales volumes and the
significant increase in power costs (mostly in the first quarter of fiscal 2001)
discussed in Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses were $7.2 million during the nine-month
------------------
period ended June 30, 2001 compared to $7.8 million in the corresponding period
of the prior year.  Operating expenses during the nine-month periods ended June
30, 2001 and 2000 include approximately $0.8 million and $0.6 million,
respectively, in costs associated with the investigation and evaluation of trace
amounts of perchlorate chemicals found in Lake Mead.  (See Note 4 to the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Net Interest Expense.  Net interest and other expense decreased to $2.0 million
--------------------
in the nine months ended June 30, 2001, from $2.9 million in the corresponding
period of the prior year, principally as a result of lower average debt
balances.

Segment Operating Income.  Operating income of the Company's industry segments
------------------------
during the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 was as follows:

</TABLE>

The decreases in operating income in the Company's specialty chemical industry
segment was primarily attributable to lower sales and increased power costs (See
Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Inflation

General inflation did not have a significant effect on the Company's sales and
operating revenues or costs during the three-month or nine-month periods ended
June 30, 2001 or 2000.  General inflation may have an effect on gross profit in
the future as certain of the Company's agreements with AP and sodium azide
customers require

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

fixed prices, although certain of such agreements contain escalation features
that should somewhat insulate the Company from increases in costs associated
with inflation. As discussed above, the Company has recently experienced
significant increases in certain raw material costs and power costs, although
the Company believes that such increases are not specifically related to the
effects of general inflation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In March 1998, the Company sold Notes in the principal amount of $75.0 million,
acquired certain assets from Kerr-McGee for a cash purchase price of $39.0
million and paid $28.2 million to repurchase the remaining $25.0 million
principal amount outstanding of the Azide Notes.  In June 1999 and September
1998, the Company repurchased and retired $3.0 million and $5.0 million,
respectively, in principal amount of Notes.  The Company incurred extraordinary
losses on debt extinguishment of approximately $0.2 million on each of these
transactions principally as a result of writing off costs associated with the
issuance of the Notes.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company
repurchased and retired approximately $8.8 million in principal amount of Notes.
The Company incurred extraordinary losses on debt extinguishment of
approximately $0.6 million on these transactions.  In April and May 2000, the
Company repurchased and retired an additional $14.0 million in principal amount
of Notes.  Since the original issuance of the Notes, the Company has repurchased
and retired approximately $30.8 million in principal amount at a weighted
average cost of approximately 102.7% of par.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $4.5 million and $11.7 million
during the nine-months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  The decrease
in cash flows from operating activities was principally due to lower sales and
operating profits as described above.  The Company believes that its cash flows
from operations and existing cash balances will be adequate for the foreseeable
future to satisfy the needs of its operations.  However, the resolution of
contingencies and litigation, and the timing, pricing and magnitude of orders
for AP, sodium azide and Halotron(TM), may have an effect on the use and
availability of cash.

Capital expenditures were $1.3 million during the nine months ended June 30,
2001, compared to $2.2 million during the same period last year.  Capital
expenditures are budgeted to amount to approximately $2.5 million in fiscal 2001
and are expected to relate primarily to specialty chemical segment capital
improvement projects.

During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company received cash of
approximately $4.6 million attributable to the return of capital invested in
GRLLC.  The Company currently anticipates that cash returns of invested capital
and equity in earnings will continue through the conclusion of the project
currently projected to be the end of calendar 2001.

During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company spent
approximately $0.3 million on the repurchase of its Common Stock.  The Company
may (but is not obligated to) continue to repurchase its Common Stock but is
limited in its ability to use cash to repurchase stock by certain covenants
contained in the Indenture governing the Notes.

Forward-Looking Statements/Risk Factors

Certain matters discussed in this Report may be forward-looking statements that
are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are
not limited to, the risk factors set forth below.

The following risk factors, among others, may cause the Company's operating
results and/or financial position to be adversely affected from time to time:

    1.  (a)  Weakness in demand (including excess customer inventories) or
        downward pricing pressure for the Company's products as a result of
        general or specific economic conditions, (b) governmental budget
        decreases affecting the DOD or NASA that would cause a decrease in
        demand for AP, (c) the results achieved by the Suspension Agreement
        resulting from the

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

        Company's anti-dumping petition against foreign sodium azide producers
        and the possible termination of such agreement, (d) technological
        advances and improvements with respect to existing or new competitive
        products causing a reduction or elimination of demand for AP, sodium
        azide or Halotron(TM), (e) the ability and desire of purchasers to
        change existing products or substitute other products for the Company's
        products based upon perceived quality, environmental effects and
        pricing, (f) future power costs including the ultimate impact of the
        settlement of the Company's disputes concerning its power agreement, and
        (g) the fact that perchlorate chemicals, sodium azide, Halotron(TM) and
        the Company's environmental products have limited applications and
        highly concentrated customer bases.

    2.  Competitive factors including, but not limited to, the Company's
        limitations respecting financial resources and its ability to compete
        against companies with substantially greater resources, significant
        excess market supply in the sodium azide market and recently in the
        perchlorate market, potential patent coverage issues, and the
        development or penetration of competing new products, particularly in
        the propulsion, airbag inflation and fire extinguishing businesses.

    3.  Underutilization of the Company's manufacturing facilities resulting in
        production inefficiencies and increased costs, the inability to recover
        facility costs and reductions in margins.

    4.  Risks associated with the Company's real estate activities, including,
        but not limited to, dependence upon the Las Vegas commercial, industrial
        and residential real estate markets, changes in general or local
        economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations affecting the
        availability and cost of financing, the performance by the managing
        partner of its residential real estate joint venture (GRLLC) and
        regulatory and environmental matters that may have a negative impact on
        sales or costs.

    5.  The effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies,
        laws and regulations and other activities of governments, agencies or
        similar organizations, including, but not limited to, environmental,
        safety and transportation issues.

    6.  The cost and effects of legal and administrative proceedings,
        settlements and investigations, particularly those investigations
        described in Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
        Statements and claims made by or against the Company relative to patents
        or property rights.

    7.  The results of the Company's periodic review of impairment issues under
        the provisions of SFAS No.  121.

    8.  The dependence upon a single facility for the production of most of the
        Company's products.

    9.  Provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws and
        Series D Preferred Stock, dividend of preference stock purchase rights
        and related Rights Agreement could have the effect of making it more
        difficult for potential acquirors to obtain a control position in the
        Company.
