5.   LINE OF CREDIT

     In July 1997, the Company entered into a $4,000,000 line of credit
     arrangement, as amended, with a bank. Such line is collateralized by
     accounts receivable and inventories. The line contains certain financial
     covenants including a minimum quick ratio and tangible net worth. As of
     March 31, 2000, $3,100,000 was outstanding which was the maximum available
     under the then current amendment to the line of credit. As of March 31,
     2000, the Company was in compliance or had received waivers for all
     financial covenants. The effective interest rate was 10% at March 31, 2000.
     The line expired on April 30, 2000, but the bank agreed to an extension
     through May 10, 2000, at which time the obligation was settled in full with
     proceeds from a new credit facility. As of May 8, 2000, the Company entered
     into a new $6,000,000 credit facility with a financial institution,
     expiring in May 2003. Such facility is collateralized by eligible accounts
     receivable and inventories. Interest is payable monthly at the rate of the
     financial institution's prime rate plus 1% subject to a minimum interest
     charge of $50,000 per quarter. The credit facility contains certain defined
     net income and tangible net worth financial covenants. Additionally, the
     Company is currently seeking new financing arrangements through
     subordinated debt and/or equity providers.

7.   CONTINGENCIES

     On or about November 17, 1998, Michael Walczak et al, on behalf of himself
     and other similarly situated shareholders of EPL filed a purported class
     action and derivative suit in the U.S. District Court (the "Court") in San
     Diego, California against PIC, PSL, EPL and their respective former and
     current officers and directors. The named plaintiffs allege breach of
     contract, certain fraud claims, civil RICO, breach of fiduciary duty and
     conversion and seek monetary damages. The named plaintiffs in the action
     are allegedly current EPL shareholders who hold less than two percent (2%)
     of the outstanding shares of EPL's common stock, in the aggregate. The
     plaintiffs applied for a preliminary injunction to halt the sale of the
     assets of EPL to PIC and to prevent the dissolution of EPL.

     On November 25, 1998, the Court granted a temporary restraining order
     without a hearing and before opposition could be submitted. On December 30,
     1998, the Court held a hearing on whether a preliminary injunction should
     be issued in connection with such action. The Court entered a preliminary
     injunction based on the plaintiffs' (a) alleged claim for fraudulent
     conveyance in connection with PSL's license agreement with EPL and (b)
     alleged claim for breach of fiduciary duty. The preliminary injunction
     enjoins the further consummation of the asset purchase transaction and
     prevents EPL from completing its liquidation and dissolution until further
     notice from the Court. The preliminary injunction will last until the case
     is tried on its merits or until the preliminary

                                       8
<PAGE>

     injunction is otherwise dismissed. The Court ordered the Walczak plaintiffs
     to post a bond in the amount of $100,000, which bond has been posted. PIC
     appealed the Court's preliminary injunction ruling, which appeal was
     subsequently denied.

     The Prolong defendants successfully moved to change venue and the case was
     ordered transferred to the federal court in Orange County, California,
     where PIC's principal office is located. In December 1999, plaintiffs'
     counsel was disqualified from the matter on the grounds of unwaivable
     conflict of interest. It is still unclear who the plaintiffs have selected
     as new counsel. At this time, due to plaintiffs lack of counsel, there are
     no mediation conferences scheduled. Therefore, final resolution of the
     matter cannot presently be determined. The Prolong defendants have each
     filed and served motions to dismiss the complaint pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6)
     of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. There has been no ruling to date
     on the Walczak plaintiffs' request to certify the class as a class action.
     PIC and PSL and their respective current officers and directors continue to
     believe that there is no merit to the plaintiffs' claims and plan to
     vigorously defend against the claims.

     PIC and its subsidiaries are subject to legal proceedings, claims and
     litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.  PIC's management
     does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have
     a material adverse effect on PIC's consolidated financial position, results
     of operations or cash flows.

8.   COMMITMENTS

     The Company has outstanding noncancelable inventory purchase commitments
     with a contract packager of approximately $930,000 as of March 31, 2000.
     Under the terms of the agreement, the packager purchases components,
     manufactures, warehouses and distributes certain car care products for the
     Company. When inventories held by the packager exceed approximately 75 days
     from the date of production, the Company may be obligated to pay a storage
     handling fee of 1 1/2% per month, and/or purchase these inventories at the
     option of the packager.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 1999

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were approximately
$7,760,000 as compared to approximately $9,750,000 for the comparable period of
the prior year, a decrease of $1,990,000 or 20.4%. Revenues for the three month
period ended March 31, 2000 were derived from the following sources: Retail
sales of $6,900,000 ($6,393,000 of lubricant products and $507,000 of
appearance); direct response television sales of $168,000 ($82,700 of lubricant
products and $85,300 of appearance); industrial sales of $73,000; and,
international and other sales of $619,000. Revenues for the three month period
ended March 31, 1999 were derived from the following sources: Retail sales of
$8,012,000 ($5,849,000 of lubricant products and $2,163,000 of appearance);
direct response television sales of $1,054,000 ($719,000 of lubricant products
and $335,000 of appearance); industrial sales of $199,000; and, international
and other sales of $485,000.

During the first quarter of 2000, retail sales were 88.9% of total revenues
direct response television sales comprised 2.2% of total revenues. During the
first quarter of 1999, retail sales were 82.2% of total revenues while direct
response television sales comprised 10.8% of total revenues. This shift in the
mix of sales resulted from a continuing pursuit of sales to retail stores and
mass merchandisers. The lower retail sales for the period ended March 31, 2000
versus the same period a year ago are mainly attributable to a decrease in
appearance sales of

                                       10
<PAGE>

approximately $1,656,000. The appearance products were launched in the first
quarter of 1999 when initial stocking orders were filled at several major
retailers. In the first quarter of 2000, the demand for the appearance products
declined, while retail lubricant sales rebounded slightly. The decrease in the
direct response sales of approximately $886,000 is a direct result of a
strategic decision to evaluate other cost effective advertising programs. These
new programs will be rolled out in the second and third quarters of 2000.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was approximately
$1,727,000 as compared to $2,658,000 for the comparable period of the prior
year, a decrease of $931,000 or 35.0%. As a percentage of sales, cost of goods
sold decreased from 27.3% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to 22.3% for
the three months ended March 31, 2000. This decrease was mainly attributable to
the shift in product mix with the lubricant products yielding higher gross
margins than the appearance products.

Selling and marketing expenses of $3,313,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2000 represented a decrease of $2,261,000 over the comparable period of the
prior year. This 40.6% decrease was primarily the result of decreased expenses
for endorsement and sponsorship payments, promotional activities to promote
product awareness, expenditures for media and print advertising and television
air-time purchases. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales were
42.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 versus 57.2% for the comparable
period of the previous year.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000
were approximately $1,428,000 as compared to $1,665,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999, a decrease of $237,000 or 14.2%. This decrease is
primarily attributable to a decrease in legal expenses.

Net interest expense of $152,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000
represented an increase of $103,000 over the comparable period in 1999.  The
increase is attributable to the increase in borrowings against the line of
credit.

Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 was approximately
$641,000 as compared to a net loss of approximately $128,000 for the comparable
period in the prior year, an increase of $769,000.  The increase is a result of
the factors discussed above.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company utilizes funds generated from operations and borrowings from an
existing credit facility to meet its working capital requirements, which consist
mainly of inventory purchases and to support the increasing receivables balance.
At March 31, 2000, the Company had net working capital of $3,062,000 as compared
to $41,000 at December 31, 1999 or an increase of $3,021,000.

During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company generated $550,000
from operations, which was provided by net income and a reduction in deferred
taxes and to fund increases in receivables, inventories, and prepaid television
time, and $895,000 used in financing activities primarily payments on bank
loans. In July 1997, the Company entered into a $4,000,000 line of credit
arrangement, as amended, with a bank. Such line is collateralized by

                                       11
<PAGE>

accounts receivable and inventories. The line contains certain financial
covenants including a minimum quick ratio and tangible net worth. As of March
31, 2000, $3,100,000 was outstanding which was the maximum available under the
then current amendment to the line of credit. As of March 31, 2000, the Company
was in compliance or had received waivers for all financial covenants. The
effective interest rate was 10% at March 31, 2000. The line expired on April 30,
2000, but the bank agreed to an extension through May 10, 2000, at which time
the obligation was settled in full with proceeds from a new credit facility. As
of May 8, 2000, the Company entered into a new $6,000,000 credit facility with a
financial institution, expiring in May 2003. Such facility is collateralized by
eligible accounts receivable and inventories. Interest is payable monthly at the
rate of the financial institution's prime rate plus 1% subject to a minimum
interest charge of $50,000 per quarter. The credit facility contains certain
defined net income and tangible net worth financial covenants. The Company is
currently seeking additional new financing arrangements through subordinated
debt and/or equity providers. At March 31, 2000, the Company had an accumulated
deficit of approximately $3,230,000. As a result, the Company is continuing to
evaluate all expenditures and manpower requirements, improve its credit and
collection functions and revise vendor payment terms to the extent possible.
There are also continued efforts to convert certain assets to cash on an
accelerated basis. Management will also continue to vigorously defend the
litigation described in Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements. Management believes that these plans will provide adequate financial
resources to sustain the Company's operations and enable the Company to continue
as a going concern.


ITEM 3:
- -------

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

PIC's financial instruments include cash and long-term debt.  At March 31, 2000
and December 31, 1999, the carrying values of PIC's financial instruments
approximated their fair values based

                                       12
<PAGE>

on current market prices and rates. It is PIC's policy not to enter into
derivative financial instruments. PIC does not currently have any significant
foreign currency exposure since it does not transact business in foreign
currencies. Due to this, PIC did not have significant overall currency exposure
at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999.


RISK FACTORS AND FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains certain forward looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve risks and
uncertainties. In addition, the Company may from time to time make oral forward
looking statements. Actual results are uncertain and may be impacted by the
factors discussed in more detail in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In particular, certain risks and uncertainties that may impact the
accuracy of the forward looking statements with respect to revenues, expenses
and operating results including without limitation, the risks set forth in the
risk factors section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999, which risk factors are hereby incorporated into this report
by this reference. As a result, the actual results may differ materially from
those projected in the forward looking statements.

Because of these and other factors that may affect the Company's operating
results, past financial performance should not be considered an indicator of
future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate
results or trends in future periods.
