To the Board of Directors
R-B Rubber Products, Inc.

We have made a review of the condensed balance sheets of R-B Rubber Products,
Inc. as of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the related condensed
statements of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and
1997, and the related condensed statements of cash flows for the three month
periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, in accordance with standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

A review of the interim financial information consists principally of obtaining
an understanding of the system for the preparation of interim financial
information, applying analytical review procedures to financial data, and making
inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is
substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the condensed financial statements referred to above for them to be
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial information included herein for the quarterly periods ended March
31, 1998 and 1997 and the financial information as of March 31, 1998 is
unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows for the interim periods. The interim financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included
in the Company's 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-KSB. The results
of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2.  INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at lower of cost, using average costs, which approximates
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or market, and include materials, labor
and manufacturing overhead.  Unsalable or unusable items are carried at scrap
value and reprocessed.

NOTE 3.  EARNINGS PER SHARE
Beginning December 31, 1997, basic earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS are
computed using the methods prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE (SFAS 128). Basic EPS is calculated using
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and
diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and
dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding.  Prior period amounts have been
restated to conform with the presentation requirements of SFAS 128.  

Following is a reconciliation of basic EPS and diluted EPS:

NOTE 4.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT - ACQUISITION
On April 1, 1998, the Company announced the acquisition of substantially all 
of the assets of certain operations of Iowa Mat Company for $600,000 in cash 
and 66,667 shares of the Company's Common Stock.  In addition, based upon 
achieving certain revenue goals from Iowa Mat Company products, the Company 
is required to issue an additional $200,000 of the Company's Common Stock to 
the sellers of Iowa Mat Company based upon the then current market price of 
the Company's Common Stock.  A majority of the $600,000 cash payment was 
financed with the Company's existing bank facilities. 

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
                                          
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, including Management's Discussion and
Analysis or Plan of Operation, contains forward-looking statements that involve
a number of risks and uncertainties.  Future market conditions are subject to
supply and demand conditions and decisions of other market participants over
which the Company has no control and which are inherently very difficult to
predict.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company's revenues or
gross margins will improve.  In addition, there are other factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially, including competitive pressures,
increased demand for, or diminished supply of, the Company's raw materials,
unanticipated difficulties in integrating acquired technologies or businesses
and the risk factors listed from time to time in the Company's Securities and
Exchange Commission reports, including, but not limited to, the report of Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997.  The Company wished to caution the
reader that these forward looking statements, such as the statements concerning
new product introductions and future tire chip processing capabilities, are only
predictions and are not statements of historical fact.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales increased 18 percent to $1.9 million for the first quarter of 1998
from $1.6 million for the first quarter of 1997. The increase was primarily
attributable to the Company's continued expansion in its primary markets.

Gross profit increased 16 percent to $760,000 (39.5 percent of net sales) for
the first quarter of 1998 from $653,000 (40.2 percent of net sales) for the
first quarter of 1997.  The slight decrease as a percentage of sales is
primarily a result of increased raw material costs due to an inadequate supply
of truck tire chips, which necessitated supplementing raw materials with
buffings, offset by efficiencies gained with increased sales.  The Company is
currently working to replace its supplies of truck tire chips, but anticipates
that its raw material costs will continue to be higher compared to prior periods
until that replacement is completed.

Selling expenses increased 59 percent to $230,000 for the first quarter of 1998
(11.9 percent of net sales) compared to $145,000 (8.9 percent of net sales) for
the first quarter of 1997.  The increase is primarily a result of increased
spending on product promotion and advertising.  In addition, the Company has
increased sales personnel.

General and administrative expenses increased 6 percent to $322,000 (16.7
percent of net sales) for the first quarter of 1998 from $305,000 (18.7 percent
of net sales) for the first

                                       7
<PAGE>

quarter of 1997, primarily as a result of continued growth of the Company.  
The decrease as a percentage of net sales is a result of efficiencies gained 
with a larger sales base.

Income tax expense, totaling $67,000 for the first quarter of 1998, was recorded
at an estimated effective rate of approximately 33.6 percent, compared to
$61,000 in the first quarter of 1997 at an effective rate of approximately 33.5
percent.

Net income increased to $133,000 (6.9 percent of net sales) for the first
quarter of 1998 from $120,000 (7.4 percent of net sales) for the first quarter
of 1997, as a result of the individual line item changes discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 1998 working capital was $1.0 million, including $274,000 of cash
and cash equivalents.  In the first quarter of 1998, working capital decreased
by $256,000 and the current ratio decreased to 1.9:1 from 3.1:1 at December 31,
1997.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $18,000 primarily due to $149,000 provided
by operations and $329,000 provided by net short-term borrowings, offset by
$495,000 used for the purchase of property and equipment.

Accounts receivable decreased $23,000 to $887,000 at March 31, 1998 compared to
$910,000 at December 31, 1997.  Days sales outstanding increased to 42 days at
March 31, 1998 compared to 37 days at December 31, 1997.  The increase in days
sales outstanding is primarily a result of increased sales late in the quarter. 
One account, totaling $170,000 at March 31, 1998, has been subsequently
collected.

Inventories increased $228,000 to $920,000 at March 31, 1998 from $692,000 at
December 31, 1997 due primarily to building of finished goods inventory in order
to help ensure adequate quantities are available to meet anticipated demand.
Inventory turned approximately six times on an annualized basis for the first
quarter of 1998 compared to nine times for all of 1997.

Capital expenditures of $497,000 during the first quarter of 1998 primarily
resulted from the addition of equipment to automate the production and handling
of the Company's mat products as well as continued expansion of the Company's
rubber processing facility.  Total capital expenditures are expected to be not
more than $3.5 million during 1998 and will be incurred primarily to purchase
and/or refurbish existing rubber processing equipment in order to further
increase production capacity and to increase the capability to use additional
tire chips instead of buffings and to purchase production equipment to diversify
the Company's product offerings.  The $3.5 million of capital expenditures will
be financed primarily through the use of existing tax credits available to the
Company.

On April 1, 1998, the Company announced the acquisition of substantially all of
the assets of certain divisions of Iowa Mat Company for $600,000 in cash and
66,667 shares of the Company's Common Stock.  In addition, based upon achieving
certain revenue goals from Iowa Mat Company products, the Company is required to
issue an additional $200,000 of the Company's Common Stock to the sellers of
Iowa Mat Company based upon the then

                                       8

current market price of the Company's Common Stock.  A majority of the 
$600,000 cash payment was financed with the Company's existing bank 
facilities.
