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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's working capital ratio of 2.83:1 at June 30, 1995 declined
slightly  from the ratio of 2.97:1 at December 31, 1994 due to  increased  short
term debt required to sustain the increases in current  assets.  Current  assets
(accounts  receivable  and  inventory)  increased  due to improved  sales volume
during  the  first six  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  11% and 14%  during  the three and six month  periods
ended June 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, remained approximately the
same  during the second  quarter of 1995 as  compared  to the second  quarter of
1994,  but  declined  by 1.8% for the six month  period  ended June 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 half of 1995.

         Foreign exchange losses increased in the three and six 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.

         For the reasons  discussed  above, the Company realized a net income of
$512,387  ($0.20 per share) and  $1,024,854  ($0.41 per share) for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1995, as compared to $577,264 ($0.23 per share)
and $702,361 ($0.28 per share) for the same periods in 1994.
