                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


l. The  information  contained  in this Report is  unaudited,  but  reflects all
adjustments  which are, in the opinion of the  management,  necessary for a fair
statement of results of the interim periods, consisting only of normal recurring
accruals. The results for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the full year.

ITEM 2   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
            CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


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 April 1- June 30:

Gross sales increased  approximately  16% or $506,600 for the quarter ended June
30, 1999 when  compared to the same quarter of the  preceding  year.  Management
attributes  this primarily to increased  sales of new products  introduced  last
year and a sales price increase on selected products.

Cost of goods sold  increased as a percentage of gross sales when  comparing the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 with the comparable quarter in 1998. The percentages
were 59.5 % and 57.8% for the quarters ended 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  This
change was  primarily  due to increasing  raw chemical  costs and  manufacturing
overhead at the Company's Alabama plant.

Selling and administrative  expenses aggregated  approximately $718,000 which is
substantially identical to the prior year when comparing the quarters ended June
30, 1999 and June 30, 1998.

Advertising and promotion  decreased  approximately  $95,900 comparing the three
months  ended  June 30,  1999 and  1998.  This was  primarily  due to a  planned
decrease in the advertising budget.

Interest expense which aggregated approximately $103,000 for the current quarter
was  substantially  unchanged  when  comparing  the June 30, 1999 quarter to the
corresponding quarter in 1998.


Results of Operations For the Six Month Period January 1 - June 30:

Gross Sales  increased 19% or  approximately  $1,138,000  when comparing the six
month  periods  of 1999  and  1998.  Management  attributes  this  primarily  to
increased sales of new products  introduced last year and a sales price increase
on selected products.

Cost of Goods Sold  decreased  to 60.5% as a  percentage  of gross sales  versus
61.3% when comparing the six months ended June 30, 1999 to the comparable period
in the preceding year.
This change is not viewed as significant.

Advertising and promotion expenses  decreased  approximately 21% or $68,400 when
comparing  the six months  ended June 30, 1999 to the six months  ended June 30,
1998. This was primarily due to a planned decrease in the advertising budget.

Selling and administrative  expenses increased for the six months ended June 30,
1999 by  approximately  $71,400 or 5.5 % when  compared to the six months  ended
June  30,  1998.  This  was not due to any one  factor  other  than  anticipated
increased administrative expenses.

Interest expense  increased during the six month period in 1999 by approximately
$40,100  when  compared to the six month  period of 1998  reflecting  the higher
levels of borrowings in the first quarter of 1999.
