              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)

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  March  31,  2000,  and  the  results  of its
operations,  changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the three months
then ended.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 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 the Company'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 $333,000  for the quarter  ended
March 31, 2000 as compared to income  before  income  taxes of $263,000  for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999.  The  increased  income is the result of increased
sales and gross  margin,  partially  offset by  increased  selling,  general and
administrative expenses.

Sales

The Company had sales of $24,038,000  for the three months ended March 31, 2000,
compared to sales of $21,160,000  for the three months ended March 31, 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  by  $856,000 to  $4,124,000  or 17.2% of sales for the
quarter  ended March 31, 2000,  as compared to  $3,268,000 or 15.4% of sales for
the quarter ended March 31, 1999.  The increased  gross margin was the result of
the increased sales volume  generated by the Company during the first quarter of
2000, as well as increased gross margin percentage for the period. The increased
gross  margin   percentage  was  due  to  increased   operating  and  purchasing
efficiencies during the first quarter of 2000.

Selling, general and administrative expense

The Company had Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense of $3,267,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2000,  compared to $2,553,000 for the three
months ended March 31,1999.  The increased SG&A expense in 2000 is  attributable
to increased  selling and delivery  expenses  resulting from the increased sales
volume, 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 $494,000  for the three months ended March
31,  2000,  compared to interest  expense of $422,000 for the three months ended

<PAGE>

March  31,1999.  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 March 31, 2000 the Company had cash of $79,000.  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 March 31, 2000, the Company had borrowed $21,029,000 and
had $1,937,000 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.

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.
