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

Company's financial position at June 30, 2000, and the results of its operations
and cash flows for the six months then ended.  The results of operations for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the

statements  be read in  conjunction  with the financial  statements  and related
disclosures for the year ended December 31, 1999 included in Five Star Products,

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

The Company had income  before  income  taxes of $407,000  and  $740,000 for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to income  before  income
taxes of $285,000  and  $548,000  for the quarter and six months  ended June 30,
1999.  The increased  income is the result of increased  sales and gross margin,
partially offset by increased selling,  general and administrative expenses, and
increased interest expense.

Sales

The Company had sales of  $24,842,000  and  $48,880,000  for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 2000, compared to sales of $23,126,000 and $44,286,000 for
the  quarter  and six  months  ended June 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  $4,587,000  or 18.5% and  $8,711,000  or17.8% of net
sales for the  quarter  and six  months  ended June 30,  2000,  as  compared  to
$4,013,000  or 17.4% of net sales and  $7,281,000  or 16.4% of net sales for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 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 six months of 2000.

Selling, general and administrative expense

The Company had Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense of $3,527,000
and $6,794,000  for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000,  compared to
$3,328,000 and $5,881,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30,1999. 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.

<PAGE>

Interest expense

The Company had interest  expense of $623,000 and $1,117,000 for the quarter and
six months  ended June 30,  2000,  compared to interest  expense of $370,000 and
$792,000  for the  quarter  and six months  ended June  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 June 30, 2000 the Company  had cash of $91,000.  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 June 30, 2000, the Company had borrowed $21,680,000 and
had $1,700,000 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.
