Liquidity and Capital Resources:

The primary sources of the Registrant's liquidity are its operations, short-term
borrowings  from a  commercial  bank  pursuant  to a  revolving  line of  credit
arrangement, and other borrowings.

The  total  borrowings  under  the line are  secured  by trade  receivables  and
inventories  and can aggregate a maximum amount of $5,000,000.  The line matures
in August,  2001.  Under the terms of the line,  the  Registrant  is required to
maintain minimum working capital of $1,500,000,  a debt to tangible net worth of
ratio 2 to 1 and debt service coverage of 1.1 times.

On March 25, 1999,  The  Registrant  borrowed  $400,000  from an entity owned by
certain  officers of the Company.  The obligation  requires  monthly payments of
principal and interest at prevailing rates through maturity during April,  2004,
when a final balloon payment is due.

The  Registrant  is  involved  in  making  sales  in the  Canadian  market  and,
accordingly,  is subject  to the  fluctuations  of the  Canadian  currency.  The
Registrant  does not engage in  currency  hedging  and deals with such risk as a
pricing issue.


Results of operations for the three month period July 1- September 30:

Gross sales increased approximately 5% or $244,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999 when compared to the same quarter of the preceding year.
Management attributes this primarily to increased sales of new products
introduced late last year and a sales price increase on selected products
initiated during the first quarter of 1999.

Cost of goods sold decreased as a percentage of net sales when comparing
the quarter ended September 30, 1999 with the comparable quarter in 1998. The
percentages were 70.1% and 73.8% for the quarters during 1999 and 1998,
respectively. This change was due the aforementioned sales price increase,
increased absorption of manufacturing overhead at the Company's Alabama plant
and is somewhat offset by increasing raw chemical costs.

Advertising and promotion  decreased  approximately $ 53,000 comparing the three
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. This was primarily due to a planned
decrease in the advertising budget.

Selling and administrative expenses increased approximately $ 48,000 when
comparing the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. Such change is
attributable to increased personnel costs and anticipated incremental costs of
operations.

Interest expense which aggregated approximately $101,000 for the current quarter
was substantially unchanged when comparing the September 30, 1999 quarter to the
corresponding quarter in 1998.

Results of operations for the nine month period January 1 - September 30:

Gross sales increased 13% or approximately $1,382,000 when comparing the nine
month periods of 1999 and 1998. Management attributes this primarily to
increased sales of new products introduced late last year and a sales price
increase on selected products initiated during the first quarter of 1999.

Cost of goods sold decreased to 68.3% as a percentage of net sales versus 70.2%
when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to the comparable period
in the preceding year. This change was due the aforementioned sales price
increase, increased absorption of manufacturing overhead at the Company's
Alabama plant and is somewhat offset by increasing raw chemical costs.

Advertising and promotion expenses decreased approximately $122,000 when
comparing the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. This was primarily due to a planned decrease in the
advertising budget.

Selling and administrative expenses increased for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 by approximately $119,000 or 6% when compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1998. This was attributable to increased personnel
costs and anticipated incremental costs of operations.

Interest expense increased during the nine month period in 1999 by approximately
$43 ,000 when compared to the nine month period of 1998 reflecting the higher
levels of borrowings during the earlier periods of 1999.
