<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The by-laws of the Registrant generally provide for the mandatory indemnification of
directors, officers and other corporate agents to the fullest extent permitted by the New Jersey
Business Corporation Act, as amended (&#147;NJBCA&#148;), as do various indemnification agreements entered
into by the Company and its directors and certain officers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The NJBCA generally provides that a New Jersey corporation has the power to indemnify a
director, officer or other agent against his or her expenses and liabilities in connection with any
proceedings involving the director, officer or agent by reason of his or her being or having been
such a director, officer or agent other than proceedings by or in the right of the corporation, if
such director, officer or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and with respect to any criminal
proceeding, such director, officer or agent had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her
conduct was unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The indemnification and advancement of expenses shall not exclude any other rights, including
the right to be indemnified against liabilities and expenses incurred in proceedings by or in the
right of the corporation, to which a director, officer or agent may be entitled under a certificate
of incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or otherwise; provided that no
indemnification shall be made to or on behalf of a director, officer or agent if a judgment or
other final adjudication adverse to the director, officer or agent establishes that his or her acts
or omissions (a)&nbsp;were in breach of his or her duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
shareholders, (b)&nbsp;were not in good faith or involved a knowing violation of law or (c)&nbsp;resulted in
receipt by the director, officer or agent of an improper personal benefit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that
directors and officers of the Registrant shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its
shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the Registrant or its shareholders, except
that a director or officer shall not be relieved from liability for any breach of duty based upon
an act or omission (a)&nbsp;in breach of such person&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its
shareholders, (b)&nbsp;not in good faith or involving a knowing violation of law or (c)&nbsp;resulting in

This registration statement covers shares of common stock of K-Tron International, Inc. (the

amended (the "Securities Act"), this registration statement also covers an indeterminate
number of shares of common stock that may be issued upon stock splits, stock dividends or
similar transactions in accordance with Rule 416 promulgated under the Securities Act.
(2)
The maximum offering price per share has been calculated pursuant to Rule 457(h) and (c)
under the Securities Act, solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee, based
upon the average of the high and low prices of our common stock as reported on The NASDAQ

Associated with each share of common stock is the preferred stock purchase right, par value
$0.01 per share, or the "Rights", which entitles the holder to purchase from the Registrant
one one-hundredth of a share of the Registrant's Series B Junior Participating Preferred
Stock, par value $0.01 per share, pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated as of October 16,
2001, by and between the Registrant and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Rights
Agent. The Rights do not carry a separate purchase price or necessitate an additional filing
fee.
(4)
Calculated pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Securities Act and Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") Rule 457(h) promulgated under the Securities Act.

Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The by-laws of the Registrant generally provide for the mandatory indemnification of
directors, officers and other corporate agents to the fullest extent permitted by the New Jersey
Business Corporation Act, as amended ("NJBCA"), as do various indemnification agreements entered
into by the Company and its directors and certain officers.
The NJBCA generally provides that a New Jersey corporation has the power to indemnify a
director, officer or other agent against his or her expenses and liabilities in connection with any
proceedings involving the director, officer or agent by reason of his or her being or having been
such a director, officer or agent other than proceedings by or in the right of the corporation, if
such director, officer or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and with respect to any criminal
proceeding, such director, officer or agent had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her
conduct was unlawful.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses shall not exclude any other rights, including
the right to be indemnified against liabilities and expenses incurred in proceedings by or in the
right of the corporation, to which a director, officer or agent may be entitled under a certificate
of incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or otherwise; provided that no
indemnification shall be made to or on behalf of a director, officer or agent if a judgment or
other final adjudication adverse to the director, officer or agent establishes that his or her acts
or omissions (a) were in breach of his or her duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
shareholders, (b) were not in good faith or involved a knowing violation of law or (c) resulted in
receipt by the director, officer or agent of an improper personal benefit.
In addition, the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that
directors and officers of the Registrant shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its
shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the Registrant or its shareholders, except
that a director or officer shall not be relieved from liability for any breach of duty based upon
an act or omission (a) in breach of such person's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its
shareholders, (b) not in good faith or involving a knowing violation of law or (c) resulting in
receipt by such person of an improper personal benefit.
The
Registrant has purchased a Directors' and Officers' indemnity insurance policy.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in
this registration statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if this registration statement
is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in
this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be
the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i) If the Registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(A) Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be
part of this registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and
included in this registration statement; and
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part
of this registration statement or in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to
Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section
10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in this registration
statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness
or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the
prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person
that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of this
registration statement relating to the securities in this registration statement to which that
prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
Provided, however,
that no statement made in this registration
statement or prospectus that is part of this registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into this registration statement or prospectus
that is part of this registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale
prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in this registration
statement or prospectus that was part of this registration statement or made in any such document
immediately prior to such effective date; or
(ii) If the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)
as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements
relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to
be part of and included in this registration statement as of the date it is first used after
effectiveness.
Provided, however,
that no statement made in this registration statement or
prospectus that is part of this registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference into this registration statement or prospectus that is part of this
registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first
use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in this registration statement or prospectus
that was part of this registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such
date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act
to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the
undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting
method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such
purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a
seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the
offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the
undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing
material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of
the undersigned Registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
Registrant to the purchaser.
The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
