                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. 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 three and six months ended June 30,
1999 have been reclassified to conform with the 2000 presentation.


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,
inventories, and other assets, and can aggregate a maximum amount of $5,000,000.
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
$2,500,000,  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.

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.

In connection with the previously  announced  Automotive Oils and Related Fluids
Program, the Company expended approximately $440,000 of its resources during the
six months  ended  June 30,  2000.  Such  amount  was net of the  balance  which
remained  in escrow from its Alabama  Industrial  Revenue  Bond Issue for future
equipment  needs  aggregating  $285,000 at January 1, 2000 and  represented  new
equipment,  personnel  and  related  costs  associated  with  the  Program.  The
financial impact of these  transactions was a short-term  reduction in liquidity
and  profitability.  Production  commenced  and  initial  customer  orders  were
received during late July, 2000. The Program comprises  approximately forty (40)
new line  items in the  Company's  product  line and  represents  the  Company's
re-entry into the automotive aftermarket.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD APRIL 1- JUNE 30:

Gross sales increased  approximately 11 % or $444,400 for the quarter ended June
30, 2000 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.




                                        7


<PAGE>




Cost of goods sold  increased as a percentage  of net sales when  comparing  the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 with the comparable quarter in 1999. The percentages
were  68.1% and 65% for the  quarters  ended 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  This
change was  primarily  due to increasing  raw chemical  costs and  manufacturing
overhead at the Company's Alabama plant.

Selling and  administrative  expenses  increased  approximately  $109,000 or 13%
comparing the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999.  Such increase was
primarily due to increased professional fees and personnel costs associated with
the new automotive line of products.

Advertising  and promotion  increased  approximately  $9,200 or 6% comparing the
three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.  This was  primarily due to a planned
increase in the advertising budget.

Interest  expense  increased  approximately  $29,300 during the current quarter.
This change was primarily due to the Federal  Reserve's  recently enacted series
of interest rate increases which was passed on by the Company's lender.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD JANUARY 1 - JUNE 30:

Gross Sales  increased 10 % or  approximately  $730,700  when  comparing the six
month  periods  of 2000  and  1999.  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 to 68.6 % as a percentage of net sales versus 67.1%
when  comparing the six months ended June 30, 2000 to the  comparable  period in
the preceding  year.  This change was  primarily due to increasing  raw chemical
costs and manufacturing overhead at the Company's Alabama plant.

Advertising and promotion expenses  increased  approximately 37% or $94,200 when
comparing  the six months  ended June 30, 2000 to the six months  ended June 30,
1999. This was primarily due to a planned increase in the advertising budget.

Selling and administrative  expenses increased for the six months ended June 30,
2000 by  approximately  $198,300 or 14.6% when  compared to the six months ended
June 30, 1999.  Such increase was primarily due to increased  professional  fees
and personnel costs associated with the new automotive line of products.

Interest expense  increased during the six month period in 2000 by approximately
$52,500 when compared to the six month period of 1999. This change was primarily
due to the Federal Reserve's  recently enacted series of interest rate increases
which was passed on by the Company's lender.
