                      OCEAN BIO-CHEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

Certain financial statement items for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 have been
reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation.

Item 2.          Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                 Financial Conditions 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,
inventories, and other assets, and can aggregate a maximum amount of $3,500,000.
Borrowings  under the line are due on demand  from the bank.  Under the terms of
the line,  the  Registrant is required to maintain  minimum  working  capital of
$1,500,000,  a  maximum  debt to  tangible  net worth of ratio of 2.5 to 1 and a
minimum debt service coverage factor of 1.15 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 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:
- ---------------------

Gross sales increased  approximately  8% or $232,500 for the quarter ended March
31, 2000 when compared to the same quarter of the preceding  year. Such increase
was consistent with prevailing trends and not associated with any single product
or customer.

Cost of goods sold  decreased as a percentage  of net sales when  comparing  the
quarter  ended  March  31,  2000  with  the  comparable  quarter  in  1999.  The
percentages  were 69.1 % and 69.3% for the quarters  ended during 2000 and 1999,
respectively. This change was not significant and is not attributable to any one
individual factor.

Selling and administrative  expenses increased approximately $89,500 or 14% when
comparing the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.  This change was primarily
due to increased personnel costs and professional fees. The Company has recently
announced  the pending  introduction  of a new  automotive  product line and has
opted to charge off costs  associated  with this project as incurred rather than
deferring  them until the quarter in which  revenues  commence.  It is currently
anticipated  that initial revenues will be earned during the quarter ending June
30, 2000.
                                        7


<PAGE>



Advertising and promotion increased  approximately  $84,900 or 86% comparing the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.  This was primarily due to increased
catalog costs and co- operative advertising. The Company has previously reported
intentional  levels  of  decreased  advertising  in prior  quarters  and has now
strategically  decided to expand  advertising  efforts  of the Star brite  brand
during the current fiscal year.

Interest expense increased by approximately $23,300 when comparing the March 31,
2000  quarter to the  corresponding  quarter  in 1999.  This  increase  resulted
primarily due to recently promulgated prime interest rate increases.

Forward-looking Statements:
- --------------------------

Certain statements contained herein,  including without limitation  expectations
as to future sales and operating results, constitute forward-looking statements.
For  this  purpose,  any  statements  contained  in  this  report  that  are not
statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements.  Without
limiting  the  generality  of the  foregoing,  words  such  as  "may",  "will"',
"expect"',  "anticipate",  "intend",  "could" or the negative  other  variations
thereof or  comparable  terminology  are  intended to  identify  forward-looking
statements.  These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the
Company to be  materially  different  from any future  results,  performance  or
achievements  expressed or implied by such forward-looking  statements.  Factors
which may affect the  Company's  results  include,  but are not  limited to, the
highly  competitive  nature of the Company's  industry;  reliance on certain key
customers;  consumer  demand for marine,  recreational  vehicle  and  automotive
products;  advertising and promotional  efforts,  and other factors. The Company
will not undertake and specifically declines any obligation to update or correct
any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or  unanticipated
events.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item l - Legal Proceedings:  Not applicable.

Item 2 - Changes in Securities:

During March, 2000, 195,390 shares of the Registrant's  Common Stock were issued
to shareholders pursuant to the recently announced 5% stock dividend; and 88,000
shares of the Common Stock were issued to certain employees as a bonus for their
respective  services to the  Company.  Such  awards were not made  pursuant to a
formal Employee Bonus Plan. The financial  impact of these issuances  aggregated
approximately  $45,900 which was charged to operations  during the quarter ended
March 31, 2000.

Item 3 - Defaults Upon Senior Securities:  Not applicable

Item 4 - Submission of Matters to Vote of Security Holders:  Not
              applicable

Item 5 - Other Matters:  Not applicable

Item 6 - Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K: Not applicable
