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.

                    FIVE STAR PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

           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.
