                           THE FLAMEMASTER CORPORATION
               NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                  JUNE 30, 1999

Note 2:        The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have
               been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
               principles for interim financial information and with the
               instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
               Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
               footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
               for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
               all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals),
               considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
               Operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 are not
               necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
               the year ending September 30, 1999 . For further information,
               refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
               thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
               the year ended September 30, 1998.

               SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES INVESTMENT IN DEBT AND
               EQUITY SECURITIES The Company adopted Statement of Financial
               Accounting Standards No: 115 ("SFAS No: 115"), Accounting for
               Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, effective
               January 1,1995. Management determines the appropriate
               classification of its investments in debt and equity securities
               at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determination at
               each balance sheet date. Debt securities for which the Company
               does not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity are
               classified as available for sale, along with the Company's
               investment in equity securities. Securities available for sale
               are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses
               reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity net of
               income taxes, until realized. At June 30, 1999 the Company had no
               investments that qualified as trading or held to maturity.
               The amortized cost of zero-coupon debt securities classified as
               available for sale is adjusted for accretion of discounts to
               maturity. Such amortization and interest are included in interest
               income. Realized gains and losses are included in other income or
               expense. The cost of securities sold is based on specific
               identification method.

THE FLAMEMASTER CORPORATION
Item 2:
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS:

JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND
JUNE 30, 1999  COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 1998.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY:
The Company's financial condition is strong, current assets were $6,453,740
compared to current liabilities of $660,707 at June 30, 1999 for a current ratio
of about 9.8 to 1.
Working capital stood at $5,793,033 on June 30, 1999 compared to $4,977,648 on
September 30, 1998. Accounts receivable increased to $640,133 from $439,216 at
June 30,1998.
The increases are atttributable to the Company's strong financial performance.
Inventories rose to $870,563 from $654,551 at year end due to higher volume of
business.
Revenues for the three months expanded to $1,441,400 from $927,550 in the
previous year's quarter due to an increase in U.S.Government business as well as
acceptance of the Company's new product introductions.
For the nine months sales increased to $3,444,822 from $2,866,323 in the prior
year's period.

Management believes that future working capital requirements will be provided
primarily from operations and that the Company's liquidity and working capital
requirements are adequate for the foreseeable future. Management believes that
the Company's creditworthiness is substantial relative to its size.

The Company is in the process of upgrading its computer systems and has
completed a review of year 2000 requirements. Some minor adjustment will be
needed to be compatible with year 2000 requirements. The Company also plans to
be cautious with respect to raw material requirements and plans for unexpected
delays in delivery by increasing inventory levels. No other year 2000 issues are
anticipated. Even if all of the Company's computer systems completely fail to
meet year 2000 requirements, the Company can continue to function with limited
interuption through backup manual systems. Management believes that capital
expenditure for upgrading its computer systems as well as being Y2K compliant
will not exceed $25,000 over the next six months.
The Company paid a $.03 dividend on its common stock in April 1999 and the Board
of Directors declared a $.03 cash dividend to be paid on August 5, 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
For the three months ended June 30, 1999 net income was $364,619 compared to
$165,969 in the prior year. The rise in net income was due to expanded volume
and increase in sales of high margin products. Per share net income primary was
$.22 vs $.10 in the year earlier and fully diluted $.22 vs $.09.
For the nine months ended June 30, 1999 net income was $692,457 vs $428,200 for
the June 30, 1998 period, while per share earnings primary expanded to $.42 from
$.26. For the three month period cost of sales as a percentage of sales declined
significantly to 40% from 54% in the previous year's quarter due to the volume
increase and sales of higher margin products. Selling expense also declined as a
percentage of sales benefiting from the volume increase. Laboratory costs
including research and development for the quarter increased to $75,591 from
$66,094 in the previous year. For the nine month period cost of sales decreased
to 45% of sales from 52.5% of sales in the June 30, 1998 period, while general &
administrative expenses declined to 13% from 15.77% in the year earlier due to
greater efficiency as well as growth in sales volume.
