                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE 1:   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
MileMarker International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, MileMarker, Inc.
(collectively "the Company"). All necessary adjustments to the financial
statements have been made, and significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, which are
for interim periods, do not include all disclosures provided in the annual
consolidated financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the footnotes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998 of Mile-Marker International, Inc.,
as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The summary December 31,
1998 balance sheet was derived from audited consolidated financial statements,
but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles at December 31, 1998.

          In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring
nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. The
results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the complete fiscal year.

          Per share data was computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period. The difference between
basic and diluted earnings per share is immaterial for the quarters ended March
31, 1999 and 1998.



NOTE 2:   RECLASSIFICATION

         Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified for comparative
purposes.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on
Form 10-QSB.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following table summarizes the results of operations, stated as a
percentage of sales, for the three months ended March 31, 1999, and 1998:

  Net Income                                 5.3%           2.2%
</TABLE>

         Sales of $1,173,911 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, were
$161,758, or approximately 16% more than comparable 1998 sales of $1,012,153.
Approximately 75% of this increase in sales was attributable to the Company's
building special order products that were neither hubs nor winches. Hub sales
also increased over the same period in 1998 due to different weather conditions.
However, winch sales were less than in 1998, and the Company believes that this
was due in large part to unfair competition in the U.S. market (see Part II
"Legal Proceedings"), causing winches to account for only 24% of total sales
during the March 1999 quarter.

         The Company's quarterly gross profit margin improved by approximately
5% of sales in the March 1999 quarter from the same period in 1998, reflecting
lower product costs. Selling costs, however, increased by approximately $13,000
in the first three months of 1999 to $115,920 from $102,842 - an increase of
about 13% when compared to the same period in 1998.

         General and administrative expenses for the three months ended 
March 31, 1999 increased by $65,725, or about 32%, from $204,714 in 1998 to 
$270,439 in 1999. The most significant increase in general and administrative 
expenses from the first three months of 1998 related primarily to salaries. 
1998 officer salaries were significantly less due to the 1998 salary refunds 
made by the executive officers to meet loan covenants. Interest and loan 
amortization costs were higher in absolute terms in the first quarter of

                                      - 8 -

1999 than in 1998 due to greater borrowings. Relative to sales, the 1999 first
quarter's total general and administrative costs increased by about 3% of sales
from the comparable period in 1998.

         The Company's income from operations for the first three months of 1999
was approximately 50% more than in the same period in 1998 - $128,840 versus
$86,394 due improved profit margins. Other income and expense other than
interest expense in the first three months was approximately the same in both
1999 and 1998. Net income of $62,017 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was
almost triple the $22,935 of net income earned in the same period in 1998. The
Company's earnings per share in the first quarter of 1999 were $.01 compared to
an immaterial amount in the first three months of 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's current assets increased by $121,987 to $2,928,709 at
March 31, 1999, compared to $2,806,722 at December 31, 1998. Most of this
increase is reflected in increased cash of $112,083 and increased accounts
receivable of $142, 950 at March 31, 1999, partially offset by an $120,358
decrease in inventory. Net working capital increased by $93,843 from $885,346 on
December 31, 1998, to $979,189 on March 31, 1999, and the Company's current
ratio increased to 1.50 at March 31, 1999, compared to 1.46 at December 31,
1998. Borrowings under the Company's line of credit increased by $45,776 from
December 31, 1998. At the same time, the Company's term loan was reduced by
$25,131 during the March 1999 quarter.

         The Company funds its operations principally through the daily
collection of its trade receivables, supplemented with asset-based borrowings.
On March 31, 1999, the Company renewed and increased its asset-based line of
credit from $1,500,000 to $1,750,000 and extended the maturity of both its
line of credit and term loan until March 31, 2000. The entire credit facility
includes an interest rate of 3.5% above prime in addition to certain banking
fees and requires as collateral a security interest in all of the assets of
MileMarker, Inc., including its inventory and accounts receivable, as well as
the pledge of all of the stock held by MileMarker International, Inc. in
MileMarker, Inc. and the key man life insurance on the Company's
President/Chairman.

         The Company has no material commitments outstanding for major capital
expenditures during 1999.

         The Company has converted its computer system to be Year 2000
compliant at a cost of approximately $16,000. New computer hardware and
software was installed during 1998 to achieve Year 2000 compliance

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        From time to time, the Company is a party to business disputes arising
in the normal course of its business operations. The Company's management
believes that none of these actions, standing alone, or in the aggregate,
currently are material to the Company's operations or finances.

        On March 4, 1999, the Company filed suit against Peterson Publishing and
Warn Industries, Inc. in Broward Circuit Court for defamation, civil conspiracy
and interference with business practices in connection with a November 1997
published test of its hydraulic winch and power source. The Company alleges that
Peterson Publishing conspired with its advertiser, Warn Industries, to
deliberately misrepresent the quality and performance of the Company's product
to its potential consumers, thereby adversely affecting its sales and profits.
The Company seeks significant damages in an amount not yet determined, and the
Company's management is therefore unable at this time to quantify the effects of
this action upon the Company's finances or operations.

ITEM 2   CHANGES IN SECURITIES
         None.

ITEM 3   DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
         None

ITEM 4   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
         None

ITEM 5   OTHER INFORMATION

         On April 15, 1999, the Company received notice from the United States
Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command of the Department of the Army that
its wholly-owned subsidiary, MileMarker, Inc. had been awarded an initial
contract for the delivery of approximately 289 hydraulic winch/bumper assemblies
within 180 days. The value of this order is $557,230. The Company anticipates
that MileMarker, Inc. will be receiving substantial additional military orders
for its patented hydraulic winches for use on Humvee vehicles.

ITEM 6   EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8K

         SEC Form 8K filed on April 20, 1999 by the Company announcing
receipt of the initial military order for the Company's hydraulic winch.
