Note 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
------------------------------------------
INVESTMENT IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES:
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No:
115 ("SFAS No: 115"), Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities, effective January 1,1995. Management determines the
appropriate classification of its Investments in debt and equity
securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determination
at each balance sheet date. Debt securities for which the Company does
not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity are classified as
available for sale, along with the Company's investment in equity
securities. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value,
with the unrealized gains and losses reported in a separate component
of shareholders' equity net of income taxes, until realized. At March
31, 2004 the Company had no investments that qualified as trading or
held to maturity. The amortized cost of zero-coupon debt securities
classified as available for sale is adjusted for accretion of
discounts to maturity. Such amortization and interest are included in
interest income. Realized gains and losses are included in other
income or expense. The cost of securities sold is based on specific
identification method.

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
---------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations:
----------------------
March 31, 2004 compared to September 30, 2003 and
March 31, 2004 compared to March 31, 2003.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY:
----------------------------------
The Company's financial condition is strong with current assets of $4,168,549
compared to current liabilities of $368,014 at March 31, 2004 for a current
ratio of more than 11.3 to 1. Working capital stood at $3,800,535 on March 31,
2004 compared to $7,008,375 at September 30, 2003. The decrease is attributable
to the divestiture of StarBiz in the form of a stock dividend. Accounts
receivable increased moderately to $704,795 from $640,047 in the prior year's
quarter ended March 31, 2003. Inventories were up modestly to $1,100,523 from
$1,032,856 on March 31, 2003 and $1,004,240 at year-end September 30, 2003 in
order to handle the increased order flow.
Revenues for the March 31, 2004 quarter remained steady at $1,231,140 from the
$1,231,958 in the year earlier period. For the six months period ended March 31,
2004 revenues were $2,305,701 as compared to $2,408,415 the modest decline were
attributable to lower interest and investment income. Sales of aircraft sealant
expanded slightly, while coatings declined slightly.
Management believes that future working capital requirements will be provided
primarily from operations and that the Company's liquidity and working capital
requirements are adequate for the next 12 months of operation. Management
believes that the Company's creditworthiness is substantial relative to its
size.
Flamemaster paid a .023 dividend in the Company's common stock during the
quarter, however future dividends will be adjusted to reflect the 12.5% stock
dividend paid on May 7, 2004.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
----------------------
For the three months ended March 31, 2004, net income remained steady at
$123,745 compared to $124,038 in the year earlier period. For the six-month
period, net income declined to $196,439 from $253,848 or $.13 per share vs. $.18
per share in the prior year's period. The decline in earnings was due to higher
health insurance costs and increased reporting requirements of the SEC and
NASDAQ. Laboratory costs, including Research and Development for the quarter
were steady at $101,204 from $102,400 in the year earlier quarter, but for the
six months Laboratory expenses rose moderately to $222,758 from $198,196 the
year before, due to increased product development costs and testing costs for
new qualifications. General and Administrative expenses also increased
moderately to $212,381 in the quarter from $184,639 of the prior year, while the
six months G & A expense climbed to $383,059 from $350,992 in the 2003 period.
The increases were due to increased salaries and rent expense.
