Notes to Unaudited Financial Highlights
Nine Months and Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 and 2002
(unaudited)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation Certain reclassifications have been made to the Financial Highlights for 2002 to conform to the Financial Highlights presentation for 2003.

Note 2: In December 2002, the Company completed the sale of all of the operating assets of two of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries formerly included in the Chemical Business, principally in the packaged explosive business, which business was not considered by the Company to be part of its core Chemical Business. The operations of the sold subsidiaries are reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying Financial Highlights for 2002.

Note 3: Net income (loss) applicable to common stock is computed by adjusting net income (loss) by the amount of preferred stock dividends. Basic income (loss) per common share is based upon net income (loss) applicable to common stock and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding and the assumed conversion of dilutive convertible securities outstanding, if any, after appropriate adjustment for interest, net of related income tax effects on convertible notes payable, as applicable.

Note 4: Information about the Company's operations in different industry segments for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, is detailed on the following page.
