On June 9, 2004, the Company distributed a press release that contained the following information:

 

KMG Chemicals, Inc. (NASDAQ Small Cap: KMGB), a global provider of specialty chemicals in carefully focused markets, today announced its acquisition of the Ravap insecticidal product line of Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc.

The acquisition is effective as of June 8, 2004.

 

Ravap is an insecticide spray used by domestic poultry and livestock growers to protect animals from flies, ticks, lice and other pests.  Tetrachlorvinphos (“Rabon”) is the main active ingredient used in Ravap.  KMG already offers the market a product portfolio consisting of Rabon oral larvicides and Rabon insecticidal powders.  KMG is the only supplier of Rabon products to the agricultural markets in the United States.

 

David Hatcher, chairman and president of KMG, said, “Ravap is an important addition to our Rabon product line and broadens our product offering to poultry and livestock growers.  We are committed to this segment of the agricultural market and we are encouraged by the potential for growth in this segment.  Besides the opportunities we see domestically, we are also looking for partnerships to expand the growth of the Rabon product lines internationally.”

 

Management expects the acquisition to add approximately $1 million in annualized revenues, and be immediately accretive to earnings.  The acquisition consists of inventory and intangible assets associated with the Ravap product line.

 

“This is the second acquisition we closed in this fiscal year. Our discipline, patience, and conservative approach to the acquisition process is bearing fruit,” continued Hatcher.  “Management believes we will close a third attractive acquisition in this fiscal year ending July 31, 2004.”
