NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the nine months ended May 31, 2003 and 2002

(1)   The Company’s accounting policy regarding revenue recognition is to recognize revenue when products are shipped to unaffiliated customers.
 
    The Company provides tolling services as a fee for processing of material provided and owned by customers. On some occasions, the Company is required to provide certain amounts of its materials, such as additives or packaging. These materials are charged to the customer as an addition to the tolling fees. The only amounts recorded as revenue related to tolling are the processing fees and the charges related to materials provided by the Company.
 
    The accounting policies for the periods presented are the same as described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002.
 
    The intrinsic value method is used to measure compensation cost for stock-based compensation plans. Compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of the grant over the amount the employee would pay to acquire the shares.
 
    The following table represents the impact on net income and earnings per share had the fair value based method been applied to measure compensation cost:
