1. Basis of reporting
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. 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, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
Company's financial position at September 30, 2000, and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the nine months then ended. The results of
operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. It is
suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31,
1999 included in Five Star Products, Inc.'s Form 10-K.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
The Company had income before income taxes of $110,000 and $850,000 for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to income before
income taxes of $312,000 and $860,000 for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1999. The slight decrease in income before taxes for the nine
months is the result of increased sales and gross margin, which was more than
offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses, and increased
interest expense. The decrease in income before income taxes for the quarter
ended September 30, 2000 of $202,000 was due to increased general,
administrative and interest expenses described below.
Sales
The Company had sales of $24,931,000 and $73,811,000 for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, compared to sales of $21,241,000 and
$65,527,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999. The
increased sales were attributable to the expansion of Five Star's sales
territory through the addition of an established, dedicated sales force
servicing the Mid Atlantic States, as far south as Virginia, as well as internal
growth within the Company's established customer base.
Gross margin
Gross margin increased to $4,217,000 or 16.9% and $12,928,000 or 17.5% of net
sales for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to
$3,835,000 or 18.1% of net sales and $11,116,000 or 17.0% of net sales for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increased gross margin was
the result of the increased sales volume generated by the Company during the
nine months of 2000. The increased gross margin percentage for the nine months
was due to increased operating and purchasing efficiencies during the first six
months of 2000 partially offset by rising warehouse costs in the third quarter
of 2000.
Selling, general and administrative expense
The Company had Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense of $3,496,000
and $10,290,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000,
compared to $3,036,000 and $8,917,000 for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30,1999. The increased SG&A expense in 2000 is attributable to
<PAGE>
increased selling and delivery expenses resulting from the increased sales
volume and the increase of fuel prices, as well as initial costs incurred to
integrate the new customer base and sales force in the Mid Atlantic States.
Interest expense
The Company had interest expense of $581,000 and $1,698,000 for the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to interest expense of $457,000
and $1,249,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,1999. The
increased interest expense in 2000 is the result of both increased short-term
borrowings, used to finance increased levels of inventory, and increased
interest rates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2000 the Company had cash of approximately $56,000. Five Star
has a $25,000,000 loan and security agreement with a group of banks. The credit
facility allows Five Star to borrow up to 50% of eligible inventory and up to
80% of eligible accounts receivable. At September 30, 2000, the Company had
borrowed $18,215,000 and had $2,151,000 of additional availability under the
loan agreement.
The Company believes that cash generated from operations and borrowing
availability under existing credit agreements will be sufficient to fund the
working capital requirements of Five Star for at least the next twelve months.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains certain forward-looking statements reflecting management's
current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These
forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements, all of which are difficult to predict and many of
which are beyond the control of the Company, but not limited to the risk that
Five Star will not achieve the projected levels of profitability and revenues,
and those risks and uncertainties detailed in the Company's periodic reports and
registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
