("Miller") Upon the closing, Ag-Bag sold Miller substantially all of our operating assets, and Miller assumed liabilities relating to the purchased assets and the operation of our business arising after the closing. Certain of our assets were excluded. Miller assumed liabilities relating to the purchased assets and business that arise after the closing, and paid us cash consideration in the approximate amount of $6,629,000. This amount was calculated by adding the value of inventory on hand at closing, plus the depreciated book value of equipment, and an amount of approximately $1,200,000. The value of certain prepaid inventory items and the amount of warranty expense accrued by us during the 12 months prior to the closing were subtracted.

("Miller"). The transaction involved Ag-Bag selling substantially all of its operating assets to Miller. After the sale, Ag-Bag would be left with only those assets not acquired by Miller in the transaction. The transaction closed on November 30, 2004. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements reflect a preliminary purchase price based upon Ag-Bag's assets to be acquired as of the balance sheet date presented herein in this pro forma presentation. The preliminary purchase price is subject to finalization based upon the actual assets acquired and liabilities assumed by Miller on the date of completion of this transaction, which was November 30, 2004. The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet of Ag-Bag gives effect to the transaction as if it occurred on September 30, 2004. The unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 give effect to the transaction as if it occurred on January 1, 2003. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements are presented in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if the transaction had been consummated on January 1, 2003, or the financial position if the transaction had been consummated on September 30, 2004, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial position. The pro forma adjustments are based upon information and assumptions available at the time of the filing of this Form 8-K and result in a preliminary allocation of the purchase price based on estimates of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in Ag-Bag's Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, and on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Management cannot assure you that Ag-Bag will not incur charges in excess of those included in the pro forma total consideration related to the transaction.

See accompanying notes to unaudited pro forma condensed financial data. AG-BAG INTERNATIONAL LIMITED NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 1. Preliminary Purchase Price The preliminary purchase price reflects the payment to be made by Miller for the assets purchased and liabilities acquired of Ag-Bag as if the transaction closed on September 30, 2004. The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet does not reflect the application of the proceeds from the asset sale based upon the preliminary purchase price. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements, the following table presents the components of the preliminary purchase price consideration. Preliminary Net Book Value Purchase Price Inventory $ 6,384,617 $ 6,111,980 Equipment (net) 294,226 294,226 Intangible assets (net) 7,637 - ---------------- ---------------- $ 6,686,480 6,406,206 ================ Plus: Premium to be paid by Miller 1,200,000 Less: Accrued warranty expense (76,286) ---------------- Preliminary purchase price $ 7,529,920 ================ The asset purchase agreement provided that Miller would pay us as follows: Inventory - new inventory to be acquired at cost and used equipment to be acquired at the lower of cost or net book value (cost minus accumulated reserves) times 85%. Equipment - valued at the depreciated net book value of each item. 2. Excluded Assets Because Miller is an existing company with its own manufacturing facilities, Miller will not need our real estate, paint booths and systems, or Visual computer system. Also excluded from the asset purchase agreement is our cash and accounts receivable. The following table sets forth the net book value of the excluded assets as of September 30, 2004. Net Book Value ----------------- Cash $ 89,102 Accounts receivable 1,435,236 Real estate 1,609,912 Paint booths and systems 136,549 Visual computer system 187,346 ----------------- Property and equipment (net) 1,933,807 ----------------- Total $ 3,458,145 ================= 3. Transactional Purchase Price Adjustments The transactional costs of approximately $175,000 consist primarily of legal and accounting fees, printing costs, and other costs directly related to this transaction and the annual meeting of shareholders, where the shareholders are being asked to approve this transaction. As of September 30, 2004, $38,568 of transactional costs had been prepaid. 4. Termination Payments As a result of the asset sale to Miller, Ag-Bag will terminate most of its employees and be required to pay termination benefits, make payments pursuant to change of control agreements and incur contract termination costs. The following table outlines these anticipated expenses as of September 30, 2004: One-time termination benefits $ 130,500 Change of control payments 1,200,000 Payment of unused sick/vacation benefits 46,000 Contract termination costs 10,500 Other costs 60,000 ------------------ Total $ 1,447,000 ================== 5. Income Taxes Based upon the assumptions used in this transaction, we would recognize gain for federal income tax purposes on the sale of the assets in this asset sale of approximately $843,000. We will have available sufficient net operating loss carryforwards to completely offset this gain we estimate recognizing as a result of this transaction, and that alternative minimum tax and state tax liabilities will be immaterial. AG-BAG INTERNATIONAL LIMITED PRO-FORMA CONDENSED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004

1. The excluded assets column represents revenues and expenses related to the assets excluded from the assets acquired by Miller as part of the asset purchase agreement. The assets excluded were, our cash and accounts receivable, real estate, paint booths and systems, and visual computer system. This unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations assumes that the Company has leased its remaining real estate and paint booth and systems for approximately $.40/sq.ft and has not sold its remaining real estate which is currently held for sale. 2. This adjustment represents the elimination of interest expense associated with the Company's operating line of credit plus debt associated with equipment purchased by Miller which was all assumed to be paid off from the proceeds of the asset sale. 3. The Company sold its investment in its German Joint Venture in May of 2004. It is assumed for this unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations, that the Joint Venture would have been sold to Miller as part of the asset purchase agreement for $500,000 (the same amount the Company realized upon the sale in May of 2004). Under this assumption, the Company would have reversed $36,562 in gain from the sale of assets which it recognized in 2004 and Miller would have received all royalty payments and joint venture earnings. 4. This adjustment reflects the estimated earnings on the remaining funds after paying off all liabilities as of January 1, 2003 (except the debt remaining on assets not acquired by Miller) and paying its operating expenses at an assumed earnings rate of 4%. 5. Material nonrecurring charges for termination costs ($1,447,000) and transactional costs ($175,000) were not considered in the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations. (See also notes to unaudited condensed pro forma Balance Sheet items 3 and 4). 6. The Company has not recognized any income taxes as it has sufficient net operating loss carryforwards for both federal and state tax purposes, to absorb the tax on the income earned.
