                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The  Company's  working  capital  ratio of 2.56:1 at September 30, 1995
declined slightly from the ratio of 2.97:1 at December 31, 1994 due to increased
short  term  debt  required  for the  increases  in  current  assets.  Inventory
increased  due to improved  sales  volume  during the first nine months of 1995.
Unused lines of bank credit and the Company's  working capital are considered by
management,  to be sufficient to support operations and fixed asset acquisitions
for the immediate future.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Sales  increased  24% and 17% during  the three and nine month  periods
ended  September 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994.  Sales of all
the Company's balsa and shrimp products increased during the period. The Company
is unable to forecast future sales trends due to the changing  commodity pricing
of its shrimp  product and the effect of  economical  pressures  on the pleasure
boating industry, the largest user of the Company's balsa products.

         Costs and expenses as a percentage  of sales  declined by 3.4% and 2.2%
for the three and nine month period ended  September  30, 1995 as compared  with
the same period in 1994.  The decline was due to a more complete  utilization of
fixed costs as a result of increased sales. No unusual expenses were incurred in
the first nine months of 1995.

            Foreign  exchange  losses  increased  in the  three  and nine  month
periods of 1995, and are caused by the  relationship  of the U. S. Dollar to the
foreign currencies in the countries where the company has operations.  The gains
or losses arise when  translating  foreign  currency  balance  sheets into U. S.
Dollars  for  the  purpose  of  presenting  consolidated  financial  statements.
Management  is unable to forecast the impact of  translation  gains or losses on
future periods due to the unpredictability of foreign exchange rates.

         On September 6th, 1995 the Company entered into an agreement with Airex
AG of Sins,  Switzerland to become the sole North  American  source of Airex and
AirLite/Herex  structural PVC foam products effective  immediately.  The Company
does not expect  sales or income to be generated  from these new products  until
1996.  The addition of these  products  should  solidify our  leadership  in the
structural core market and give us a growth opportunity in the future.

         For the reasons  discussed  above, the Company realized a net income of
$257,596  ($0.10 per share) and  $1,282,450  ($0.51 per share) for the three and
nine month  periods  ended  September  30,  1995,  as  compared to a net loss of
($123,454)  ($.05 per share)  during the third  quarter of 1994 and an income of
$578,907 ($0.23 per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
