Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The primary sources of our liquidity is cash from operations, short-term
borrowings under our revolving line of credit with Regions Bank, a commercial
bank, other borrowings.

We renewed our line of credit with Regions Bank in July 2004, in which we
increased our credit line from $ 5 million to $6 million. This line of credit is
secured by a security interest in our accounts receivable and inventory. The
line of credit bears interest the lender's prime rate plus .25% and matures on
May 31, 2005. The maximum amount of credit that can be extended under the
agreement is $6 million. Under this line of credit, we are required to maintain
certain financial ratios as of each fiscal year end. As of June 30, 2004, the
amount outstanding pursuant to the working capital line of credit was
$5,325,000.

We have obtained financing under industrial development revenue bonds from the
city of Montgomery, AL beginning in 1997. As of June 30, 2004, the amount
outstanding under our industrial development bonds is $5,895,000. The interest
rate on the bonds is a floating rate and as of June 30, 2004, the interest rate
was approximately 1.3%

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 COMPARED TO THE
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003
- --------------------------------

Gross sales increased 15% to approximately $6,295,400 for the three months ended
June 30, 2004 compared to gross sales of approximately $5,462,300 for the three
months ended June 30, 2003. Management attributes this increase primarily to
sales of recently introduced new marine oil products and to the timing of
certain customer orders.

Cost of goods sold increased to 74.42% of net sales during the three months
ended June 30, 2004 compared to 71.03% of net sales in the three months ended
June 30, 2003. The increase in the cost of goods is attributed to increasing oil
and other raw material costs announced during the second quarter and subsequent
to previously promulgated sales price increases to certain of our customers.
Management is currently evaluating the possibility of an another round of sales
price increases to absorb these additional costs, but has deferred an additional
increase in prices until it become clearer that these higher material costs will
stabilize.

Selling and administrative expenses increased approximately $58,800 or 7 % in
the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in the prior
year. Such change was primarily due to increased personnel costs and other
normal recurring increases in operating expenses.

7


Advertising and promotion increased approximately $143,400 or 76% in the three
months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in the prior year. This
resulted primarily from increased co-op advertising associated with increased
sales to certain customers and the timing of various advertising programs in
2004.

Interest expense was substantially unchanged in the three months ended June 30,
2004 and 2003 and amounted to approximately $73,600 and $77,600, respectively.

Our income from operations was approximately $121,600 in the three months ended
June 30, 2004 compared to $407,300 during the three months ended June 30, 2003.

Our net income was approximately $62,600 in the three months ended June 30, 2004
compared to $408,100 in the three months ended June 30, 2003.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gross Sales increased 17% to approximately $10,199,400 in the six months ended
June 30, 2004 compared to $8,686,100 for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Management attributes this increase to mild weather in the northern states
causing an early start of the boating season and thereby increased sales of
marine products

Cost of goods sold decreased to 75.91% of net sales for the six months ended
June 30, 2004 compared to 77.38% of net sales in the six months ended June 30,
2003. This change resulted from various factors, some of which negatively
impacted margins and others which mitigated these factors. Specifically,
petroleum products have costs which are higher than those experienced in prior
periods and currently represent a higher portion of manufacturing efforts. In
addition, a price increase was passed along on certain products during the first
quarter of 2004, and margins are favorably impacted by spreading fixed elements
of overhead over increased revenues.

Advertising and promotion expenses increased approximately $140,100 or 43% for
the 2004 period when compared to expenses in the same time period in the
previous year. This increase resulted primarily from increased co-op advertising
associated with increased sales to certain customers and the timing of various
advertising programs in 2004.

Selling and administrative expenses increased by approximately $114,200 or 7% in
the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the six months ended June 30,
2003. Such change was primarily due to increased personnel costs and other
normal recurring increases in operating expenses.

Interest expense for the 2004 period decreased approximately $6,700 or 4.6% when
compared to the same six month period of 2003. This change was primarily due to
the impact of lower interest rates.

Our loss before income taxes was $189,875 in the six months ended June 30, 2004
compared to a net loss before income taxes of $273,954 in the six months ended
June 30, 2003.

Our benefit for income taxes amounted to $46,500 for the six months ended June
30, 2004 and reflected based on available tax net loss carry-back provisions. We
did not have any benefit for income taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2003.

As a result of the foregoing, our net loss from amounted to approximately
$143,400 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to a net loss of
approximately $274,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial and
commodity market prices and interest rates. We are exposed to market risk in the
areas of changes in borrowing rates in the United States and changes in foreign
currency exchange rates Historically and as of June 30, 2004, we have not used
derivative instruments or engaged in hedging activities to minimize market risk.

INTEREST RATE RISK

As or June 30, 2004, we had floating interest rates on our industrial
development revenue bonds and our credit facility. As of June 30, 2004, the
interest rate on our $5,895,000 outstanding balance of industrial revenue bonds
was 1.3% per annum and the interest rate on our credit facility approximated
4.75% which is prime plus .25%. We do not expect any changes in the interest
rate to have a significant impact on our operations during fiscal 2004.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

We sell products in Canada, based on the Canadian dollar. Thereby, we have
exposure to changes in exchange rates. Changes in the Canadian dollar/U.S.
dollar exchange rates may positively or negatively affect our gross margins,
operating income and retained earnings. We do not believe that near-term changes
in the exchange rates, if any, will result in a material effect on our future
earnings, fair values or cash flows, and therefore, we have chosen not to enter
into foreign currency hedging transactions. We cannot assure you that this
approach will be successful, especially in the event of a significant and sudden
change in the value of the Canadian dollar.

CONCENTRATION AND CREDIT RISK

We maintain cash balances at several financial institutions which are insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At times, the cash
balances may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses
in such accounts and we believe the risk related to these deposits is minimal.
At June 30, 2004, approximately 18% of the Company's cash was subject to such
risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Within 90 days prior to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information
required to be included in our periodic SEC reports. It should be noted that the
design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about
the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design
will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions, regardless of how remote. In addition, we reviewed our internal
controls, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to
the date of their last evaluation.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item l - Legal Proceedings: See our Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2003.

Item 2 - Changes in Securities: On April 7, 2004, we granted an aggregate of
140,500 shares of our common stock to certain officers, directors and
employees as bonus shares. We issued these shares in reliance upon
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, because each person who
received the shares was knowledgeable, sophisticated and had access
to comprehensive information about us. We placed legends on the
certificates stating that the securities were not registered under
the Securities Act and set forth the restrictions on their
transferability and sale.
