1. Basis of reporting

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Five Star Products,
Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Five Star") 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
recurring items), which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
Company's financial position at June 30, 2002, and the results of its operations
and cash flows for the quarter and six months then ended. The results of
operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. It is
suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31,
2001 included in the Company's Form 10-K.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out
(FIFO) method, or market. Inventory consists solely of finished products.


3. Subsequent events

On August 2, 2002, the Company entered into a transaction to reduce its
long-term debt to GP Strategies. The principal amount of said debt was reduced
by $500,000 to a new principal amount of $4,500,000. The Company executed a new
promissory note to GP Strategies but under the same terms and conditions as the
original note. In connection with this debt reduction, GP Strategies received
2,272,727 shares of the Company's common stock. Of these shares, 2,003,496
shares were newly issued and 269,231 shares had been held in treasury. The
transaction valued the Company's stock at $0.22 a share, which was at a premium
to the open market value at that time. As a result of this transaction, GP
Strategies' ownership of the Company has increased to approximately 47% from 37%
of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock.

FIVE STAR PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBISIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

The Company had income before income taxes of $133,000 and $491,000 for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to income before income
taxes of $121,000 and $418,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
2001. The increased income before income taxes for the second quarter of 2002 is
the result of reduced interest expense, partially offset by reduced gross
margin.

Sales

The Company had sales of $25,289,000 and $50,779,000 for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 2002, compared to sales of $25,413,000 and $49,879,000 for
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001. The reduced sales for the second
quarter of 2002 were attributable to reduced sales volume among the Company's
existing customer base; sales volume was adversely affected by uncharacteristic
weather patterns as well as a slowdown in the general economic recovery.

Gross margin

Gross margin decreased to $4,170,000 or 16.5% and $8,350,000 or 16.4% of net
sales for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to
$4,314,000 or 17% of net sales and $8,446,000 or 16.9% of net sales for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001. The decreased gross margin for the
second quarter of 2002 was the result of reduced sales combined with a decreased
gross margin percentage. The decreased gross margin percentage was due to
increased competitive pressures throughout the Company's sales territory,
partially offset by reduced warehousing costs.

Selling, general and administrative expense

The Company had selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense of $3,702,000
and $7,207,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to
$3,722,000 and $7,043,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001.
SG&A expense for the second quarter was largely unchanged in amount.





Interest expense

The Company had interest expense of $316,000 and $614,000 for the quarter and
six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to interest expense of $456,000 and
$951,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001. The reduced
interest expense for the second quarter of 2002 is the result of reduced
interest rates as well as lower average short-term borrowings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2002 the Company had cash of $56,000. 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, 2002 the Company had borrowed $17,666,000 and
had $3,657,000 of additional availability under the loan agreement.

Management believes that cash generated from operations and borrowing
availability under existing credit agreements will be sufficient to fund the
Company's working capital requirements.

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
the Company 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.
