                                  Part I

Item 1.  Business.

Background.

      Fountain  Powerboat  Industries, Inc. (the "Company"),  through  its
wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Fountain Powerboats, Inc.  (the  "Subsidiary"),
designs, manufactures, and sells offshore sport boats, sport fishing boats
and  sport  cruisers  intended for that segment of the recreational  power
boat  market  where speed, performance, and quality are the main  criteria
for  purchase.   The  Company  also produces military  support  craft  for
domestic  and  international  government agencies,  including  the  United
States Customs Service, the United States Navy and the United States Coast
Guard.   The Company's strategy in concentrating on these segments of  the
market  is  to  maximize its use of the reputation  of  its  Chairman  and
President,  Reginald  M.  Fountain, Jr., as an internationally  recognized
designer and builder of high speed power boats.

      The  Company's  products are sold through a  network  of  authorized
dealers worldwide.  The Company has targeted that segment of the market in
which  purchase decisions are generally predicated to a relatively greater
degree  on  the product's image, style, speed, performance,  quality,  and
safety.

Products.

      The majority of the company's recreational products are based upon a
deep V-shaped fiberglass hull with a V-shaped pad, a notched transom,  and
a  positive  lift  step hull.  This design enables  the  boat  to  achieve
performance and stability standards which the Company believes are greater
than those offered by any of its competitors worldwide.  As a result,  the
Company maintains that its boats are among the fastest, smoothest, safest,
and best-handling boats of their kind.

       The  Company's  sport  boats,  ranging  from  27'  to  47'  are  of
inboard/outboard  design.  These boats are propelled by single,  twin,  or
triple gasoline or diesel engines ranging from 300 HP to more than 900  HP
each.   The  Company  also  builds custom racing boats,  outboard  powered
center  consoles, and outboard or stern drive cabin model  offshore  sport
fishing  boats  ranging  from 23' through 38'.  During  Fiscal  2001,  the
Company completed tooling and design of a 38' wide-beam cruiser, and a 38'
wide-beam  fishing  boat.  During Fiscal 2002, the Company  completed  the
development  of a 48' wide-beam cruiser and a 34' wide-beam fishing  boat.
These  wide-beam  models form a new product line aimed  at  the  important
middle market of family oriented cruisers.

      In addition to Sportboats, Fishing boats, and the new Cruiser Lines,
the Company also produces a line of military/governmental boats of various
configurations.   These  boats  are  commercial  versions  of  the   large
sportboats  and  fishing boats, and along with the rigid inflatable  boats
(RIB), form a separate military/commercial product line.  The Company also
has  a joint agreement with Marine Technologies Inc. (MTI) to produce  the
Fountain Scism 42' High Performance Catamaran boat designed and tooled  by
Randy  Scism.   The Company produces race boat hulls and decks  which  Mr.
Scism completes and sells.  The Company builds a pleasure boat version  of
this Catamaran that is sold to its dealer network.

      The  Company's 47' Lightning Sport Boat operates at speeds of 75  to
100  mph and is very stable and suited for long range cruising in offshore
waters.   Its  sleek styling makes it particularly attractive.   Depending
primarily upon the type of engines and options selected, this boat retails
at  prices  ranging  from  $437,000 to  $664,000.   This  boat's  standard
features include a custom windshield, integrated swim platform, flush deck
hatches,  and an attractively appointed cockpit and cabin.  This boat  has
been  cited by Powerboat Magazine as "The Outstanding Offshore Performance
Boat".

      The  Company's  42'  Lightning, designed with the  second-generation
positive lift hull, comes with a full wrap around windshield, as  well  as
an  impressive  range  of  speed, stability and ride  comfort.   This  top
selling  model  equipped with special engines currently  holds  the  world
speed record for V-bottom boats at 143.946 mph.


                                     2

      The 38' Lightning or Fever operates at speeds of between 70 and  100
mph.   The  retail  price  ranges  from $270,000  to  $341,000,  depending
primarily  upon  the type of engines selected.  This model  was  cited  by
Powerboat Magazine as "Offshore Performance Boat of the Year".    It  also
captured  an award from The Hot Boat Magazine for "Boat of the Year".   In
Fiscal  2002,  the  38' Lightning incorporated a new superventilated  hull
that  is  the  most advanced superventilated hull produced by Fountain  to
date and it is based on their successful design, enhancing performance and
interior space.

     The 35' Lightning Sport Boat was totally redesigned and introduced in
Fiscal  2000 to go with a higher freeboard, new twin-step design, and  new
deck  and  interior.  It operates at speeds between 70 and 100 mph.   This
boat  won the 2001 Offshore Boat of the Year and has proven itself as  the
fastest boat in Factory II history, setting the kilo record at 94.187 mph.
This  boat's  retail  price ranges from $220,000  to  $290,000,  depending
primarily upon the type of engines selected.

      The  29'  Fever  is one of the most popular boats.  It  operates  at
speeds of 65 to 85 mph and retails between $113,000 and $150,000 depending
on  engine  size.  It has great balance and speed for a single engine  and
operates  in  offshore sea conditions with superior safety  and  handling.
This  boat  is  also offered with twin small block engines.   The  Company
introduced a new 29' deck in Fiscal 2001.  This model has been awarded the
2001 Outstanding Sport Boat Performance Award and has set the 2000 APBA F-
1 record at 89.873 mph.

      The  Company also builds and markets a sport fishing line.  The  31'
sport  fish  model  features  a  center  console  with  T-Top  design  and
incorporates the same high performance, styling, and structural  integrity
as  the sport boat models.  It has a deck configuration engineered for the
knowledgeable,  experienced  sport  fisherman.   This  boat  has  won  the
Southern  Kingfish Association's World Championship for five of  the  last
eleven years.

      The  additional  models include the 29' twin engine  center  console
model   and   23'  single  engine  center  console  model.   The   design,
construction,  and performance of these models, together with  the  proven
features  of  the 31' center console model, makes a line that  appeals  to
many experienced sport fishermen, in addition to the weekend warrior.

      To  further enhance its sport fishing line, the Company added a  31'
walk  around  cabin  model based upon the proven 31' center  console  hull
design.  This model features a deck design that incorporates a cabin  with
standup  headroom, an enclosed head with shower, and a full galley.   With
twin  outboard engine power, this model is produced either  as  a  fishing
machine or as a recreational cruiser.

      The  Company  also produces both a 23' and a 29' walk  around  cabin
fishing boat with outboard engine power and a single stern drive 29' and a
32' walk around cabin fishing model with twin stern drive power.

      During  Fiscal 2001, the Company launched its new wide  beam  craft.
The 38' fish boat was introduced in the latter part of calendar 2000.  The
38'  fish boats feature triple engines and speeds above 69 mph.  At cruise
speed,  the boat has a 500 mile range.  The 38' Cruiser was introduced  at
the  Miami  Boat Show in February of 2001. The 38' Express Cruiser  offers
the  customer the luxury and space of a full Cruiser while maintaining the
performance and handling of a Fountain sport boat.  Both boats  have  been
extremely well received by the market.

      In  Fiscal 2002, the Company introduced the latest in their  cruiser
and  wide-beam lines.  The 48' wide-beam cruiser debuted offering a  whole
new  level  of comfort and luxury.  With speeds of up to 65 mph,  the  48'
Express  Cruiser  launched the Company into a new expanding market segment
with an edge in performance and class.  This boat retails between $650,000
-  $824,000, depending upon engine choice and option configurations.   The
34' wide-beam fish boat introduced in Fiscal 2002 retails between $168,000
-  $193,000  depending  upon engine selection, and will  reach  speeds  in
excess  of  68  miles  per  hour.  This model  has  been  sold  out  since
introduction, and orders for this model extend into January 2003.

     The Company conducts research and development projects for the design
of  its  plugs and molds for hull, deck, and small parts production.   The
design,   engineering,   and   tooling   departments   currently    employ
approximately 21 full-time employees.  Amounts spent on design,  research,
and development to build new plugs and molds in recent years were:

          Fiscal 2000                 $926,486            $1,154,908


      For  Fiscal 2003, design, research and development planned  expenses
are  estimated to be $500,000 and plug and mold construction  expenditures
are  estimated  to  be $750,000.  These expenditures  will  complete  work
already  in  progress to update existing tooling and finalize a  new  deck
modification for the Company's 38' wide beam cruiser.

      Manufacturing capacity is sufficient to accommodate approximately 30
to   40  boats  in  various  stages  of  construction  at  any  one  time.
Construction   of  a  current  model  boat,  depending  on   size,   takes
approximately   three  to  five  weeks.   The  Company,  with   additional
personnel,  currently  has the capacity to manufacture  approximately  450
sport and fishing boats, and 100 cruisers per year.

      The manufacturing process for the hulls and decks consists primarily
of  the hand "lay-up" of vinylester resins and high quality stitched,  bi-
directional and quad-directional fiberglass over a foam core in the  molds
designed  and  constructed  by  the  Company's  engineering  and   tooling
department.   This  creates a composite structure with  strong  outer  and
inner  skins  with  a  thicker, light core in between.   The  "lay-up"  of
fiberglass  by  hand rather than using chopped fiberglass  and  mechanical
blowers, results in superior strength and appearance.  The resin  used  to
bind  the  composite structure together is vinylester, which is  stronger,
better  bonding, and more flexible than the polyester resins used by  most
other  fiberglass boat manufacturers.  Decks are bonded to the hulls using
bonding  agents,  rivets,  screws  and fiberglass  to  achieve  a  strong,
unitized construction.

                                     4

      As  one  of  the most highly integrated manufacturers in the  marine
industry,  the Company manufactures many metal, plexiglass,  plastic,  and
small  parts  (such  as  fuel tanks, seat frames, instrument  panels,  bow
rails,  brackets,  T-tops, and windscreens) to  assure  that  its  quality
standards are met.  In addition, the Company also manufactures all of  its
upholstery  to  its own custom specifications and benefits from  receiving
these  parts  just  in time for assembly.  All other component  parts  and
materials  used  in  the manufacture of the Company's  boats  are  readily
available  from a variety of suppliers at comparable prices  exclusive  of
discounts.  However, the Company purchases certain supplies and  materials
from  a  limited  number of suppliers in order to obtain  the  benefit  of
volume discounts.

      Certain  materials used in boat manufacturing, including the  resins
used  to  make  the decks and hulls, are toxic, flammable,  corrosive,  or
reactive  and  are  classified by the federal  and  state  governments  as
"hazardous  materials."  Control of these substances is regulated  by  the
Environmental Protection Agency and state pollution control agencies which
require  reports and inspect facilities to monitor compliance  with  their
regulations.    The  Company's  cost  of  compliance  with   environmental
regulations has not been material.  The Company's manufacturing facilities
are   regularly   inspected  by  the  Occupational   Safety   and   Health
Administration and by state and local inspection agencies and departments.
The  Company  believes that its facilities comply with  substantially  all
regulations.  The Company, however, has been informed that it may incur or
may have incurred liability for re-mediation of ground water contamination
at  a  hazardous  waste disposal site resulting from  the  disposal  of  a
hazardous  substance  at those sites by a third-party  contractor  of  the
Subsidiary. (See Legal Proceedings.)

     Recreational powerboats must be certified by the manufacturer to meet
U.S.  Coast  Guard  specifications.  Their safety is  subject  to  federal
regulation  under  the  Boat Safety Act of 1971, as amended,  pursuant  to
which   boat  manufacturers  may  be  required  to  recall  products   for
replacement  of  parts  or  components  that  have  demonstrated   defects
affecting safety.  The Company has never had to conduct a product  recall.
In  addition,  boats manufactured for sale in the European Community  must
meet CE Certification Standards.


Sales and Marketing.

      Sales  are  made through approximately 32 dealer shipping  locations
throughout  the  United  States.  The Company  also  has  3  international
dealers.  Most of these dealers are not exclusive to the Company and carry
the boats of other companies, including some boats that may be competitive
with the Company's products.  The territories served by any dealer are not
exclusive to the dealer.  However, the Company uses discretion in locating
new dealers in an effort to protect the interests of the existing dealers.

Following is a table of sales by geographic area for the last three fiscal
years:

     The Company targets a portion of its advertising program into foreign
countries  through various advertising media.  It continues  to  seek  new
dealers  throughout  Europe, South America, the Far East  and  the  Middle
East.   In general, the Company requires payment in full or an irrevocable
letter of credit from a domestic bank before it will ship a boat overseas.
Consequently,  there is no credit risk associated with its  foreign  sales
nor risk related to foreign currency fluctuation.

      For  Fiscal  2002,  one dealer accounted for  11.8%  of  sales,  one
accounted  for  11.7% of sales and two each accounted for 8.0%  of  sales.
For Fiscal 2001, one dealer accounted for 11.5% of sales, one for 10.5% of
sales and one for 6.0% of sales.  For Fiscal 2000 one dealer accounted for
7.4%  of  sales,  one for 6.1% of sales and one for 5.7%  of  sales.   The
Company believes that the loss of any particular dealer would not  have  a
materially adverse affect on sales, and is actively pursuing the  addition
of  new,  quality  dealers.   As sales continue  to  grow  through  dealer
additions, it is reasonable to assume the Company will grow less dependent
on any one dealer.

      Field  sales representatives call upon existing dealers and  develop
new dealers.  The field sales force is headed by the National Director  of
Sales  who  is  responsible for developing a full dealer organization  for
sport  boats,  sport fishing boats and express cruisers.  The  Company  is
seeking  to  establish  separate sport boat,  fishing  boat,  and  cruiser
dealers in most marketing areas due to the specialization of each type  of
boat and the different sales programs required.

      Although a sales order can be cancelled at any time, most boats  are
pre-sold  to  a  dealer  before entering the  production  line.  To  date,
cancellations have not had a material effect on the Company.  The  Company
normally does not manufacture boats for its own inventory.

      The Company ships boats to some dealers on a cash-on-delivery basis.
However,  the  majority of the Company's shipments are  made  pursuant  to
commercial  dealer  "floor plan financing" programs in which  the  Company
participates on behalf of its dealers.  Under these arrangements, a dealer
establishes lines of credit with one or more third-party lenders  for  the
purchase  of showroom inventory.  When a dealer purchases a boat  pursuant
to  a floor plan arrangement, it draws against its line of credit and  the
lender  pays  the  invoice  cost  of the boat  directly  to  the  Company.
Generally, payment is made to the Company within five business days.  When
the  dealer  sells  the boat to a retail customer, the dealer  repays  the
lender,  thereby  restoring its available credit line.  The  dealers  make
curtailment  payments (principal payments) on the boats when  required  by
their  particular  commercial lenders.  Similar sales  promotion  programs
were in effect during fiscal years 2001 and 2000.

      Each  dealer's  floor  plan credit facilities  are  secured  by  the
dealer's inventory, letters of credit, and perhaps other personal and real
property.   In  connection with the dealer's floor plan arrangements,  the
Company  (together  with substantially all other major manufacturers)  has
agreed  to repurchase any of its boats which a lender repossesses  from  a
dealer and returns to the Company in a new or like new condition.  In  the
event  that  a  dealer defaults under a credit line, the lender  may  then
invoke  the  manufacturers' repurchase agreements  with  respect  to  that
dealer.   In  that  event, all repurchase agreements of all  manufacturers
supplying a defaulting dealer are generally invoked regardless of the boat
or  boats  with  respect  to  which the dealer  has  defaulted  (See  also
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations).   The  Company participates in floor plan  arrangements  with
several  major third-party lenders on behalf of its dealers, most  of  who
have  financing  arrangements  with  more  than  one  lender.   Except  as
described  above,  or where it has a direct repurchase  agreement  with  a
dealer,  the  Company is under no material obligation to repurchase  boats
from  its  dealers.   From  time  to time  the  Company  will  voluntarily
repurchase a boat for the convenience of the dealer or for another  dealer
who  needs a particular model not readily available from the factory.  The
marketing of boats to retail customers is primarily the responsibility  of
the  dealer,  whose  efforts  are  supplemented  by  the  Company  through
advertising in boating magazines, and by participation in boat shows.

     Additionally,  in  order to further promote  its  products  over  the
years,  the  Company has developed racing programs to participate  in  the
major  classes  of offshore powerboat races, many of which  are  regularly
televised on networks such as ESPN, TNN, Outdoor Channel and Speed Vision.
Additionally,  Fountain  single,  twin  and  triple  engine  racing  boats
continue  to  hold their respective world speed records.   The  result  of
these  racing  victories  and  world speed  records  has  established  the
Company's products as the highest performing and safest designed  offshore
boats.   The  Company believes that the favorable publicity  generated  by
these  performance programs contributes to its sales volume.  The  Company
Founder  and  C.E.O.,  Reggie Fountain, has won  numerous  races  in  both
factory and customer boats; he has also set numerous speed records in both
factory and customer boats.

        As  part  of  the marketing program for its line of sport  fishing
boats,  the  Company  sponsors several outstanding sport  fishermen.   One
Fountain  fisherman, Clayton Kirby, placed in the top ten in the prominent
Southern Kingfish Association, eight out of the last ten years.   He  also
won  the  coveted  King Mackerel Tournament in 2000, and  is  a  four-time

                                     6

winner  of  the  Greater  Jacksonville  King  Fish  Tournament.   Fountain
fishermen have won the coveted SKA `Angler of the Year' title 5 out of the
last  11  years, more than any other boat manufacturer.  Another  Fountain
fisherman,  Chuck  Arnold, has won the brand new  Division  Four  American
Striper  Association (ASA).  The ASA is held throughout the  northeast  in
areas  ranging from Virginia to Maine.  The Fountain fishing teams winning
records  have given the sport fishing boats favorable exposure to  serious
sport fishermen, in particular with respect to the superior performance of
Fountain's fishing boat line.

Product Warranty.

     The Company warrants its boat hull and deck structure against defects
in  material  and  workmanship for a period  of  six  years.   Other  boat
components  are  covered  in accordance with the  manufacturer's  warranty
through the Company.  The engine manufacturer warrants engines included in
the  boats.   Warranty  expenses of $1,936,600  or  5.16%  of  sales  were
incurred in Fiscal 2002, and $1,380,800 of expense or 3.00% of sales  were
incurred  in  Fiscal  2001 and charged against  net  income.   A  $870,000
reserve for warranty expenses estimated to be incurred in future years had
been established at June 30, 2002.

Competition.

      Competition within the powerboat manufacturing industry is  intense.
While  the  high  performance sports boat market comprises  only  a  small
segment  of all boats manufactured, the higher prices commanded  by  these
boats  make it a significant market in terms of total dollars spent.   The
manufacturers that compete directly with the Company in its market segment
include:

          Formula, a Division of Thunderbird Products Corporation
              Baja Boats, a Division of Brunswick Corporation
                        Cigarette Racing Team, Inc.
                      Donzi, American Marine Holdings

      The Company believes that in its market segment, speed, performance,
quality,  image, and safety are the main competitive factors,  with  style
and price also being a consideration.

     Market demographics and industry experience indicate that the cruiser
market  is  the  best potential growth market.  Next in line  are  fishing
boats;  however, there are more fishing boat manufacturers than there  are
sport boat manufacturers.

      The  Company believes the current product owners, many of whom  have
purchased  multiple  and  increasingly  larger  boats  from  the  Company,
regenerate a market ready for expansion into the cruiser segment.

Employees.

      As of September 2002 the Company had 348 employees, of whom ten were
executive  and management personnel.  Seventeen were engaged primarily  in
administrative  positions including accounting, personnel,  marketing  and
sales  activities.   None  of  the Company's  employees  are  party  to  a
collective  bargaining  agreement.  The  Company  considers  its  employee
relations to be excellent.   The Company  is an affirmative  action, equal
opportunity employer.


Item 2.  Properties.

      The  Company's  executive offices and manufacturing  facilities  are
located  on  66  acres along the Pamlico River in Beaufort  County,  North
Carolina.   All of the land, buildings and improvements are owned  by  the
Company and are held as collateral on notes and mortgages payable having a
balance  of  $9,640,808 at June 30, 2002.  The operating facility contains

200,000  square  feet  of concrete paving surrounding  the  buildings  and
providing  guest  or  employee  parking.   The  present  plant  site   can
accommodate  an  addition of up to 300,000 square  feet  of  manufacturing

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

     As  of June 30, 2002, the Company's chief operating subsidiary was  a
defendant  in  1 product liability suit and 4 alleged breach  of  warranty
suits.   In  the Company's opinion these lawsuits are without  merit  and,
therefore, the Company intends to vigorously defend its interest  in  such
suits.   The  Company carries sufficient liability and  product  liability
insurance  to cover attorney's fees and any losses that may occur  from  a
product  liability or breach of contract suit, over and  above  applicable
insurance  deductibles.  The management of the Company believes that  none
of such current proceedings will have a material adverse effect.

     The   Company's   subsidiary  was  notified  by  the  United   States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Health and Natural Resources that it had been identified  as
a potentially responsible party in the remediation of contamination at two
clean  up  sites.  The Group Administrator/Counsel estimated the Company's
future share of remediation cost not to exceed approximately $20,000.

Item  7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition  and
Results of Operations.

      As described more fully below at "Business Environment", most of the
Company's   shipments  to  dealers  were  financed  through   floor   plan
arrangements with third-party lenders pursuant to which the Company may be
required  to  repurchase boats repossessed by the lenders  if  the  dealer
defaults  under  his  credit arrangement.  The balance  of  shipments  was
C.O.D.  or  payment prior to shipment, in which case, the Company  has  no
repurchase liability.

     The Company has developed criteria for determining whether a shipment
should  be  recorded  as  a sale or as a deferred sale  (a  balance  sheet
liability).  The criteria for recording a sale are that the boat has  been
completed  and  shipped  to  a customer, that  title  has  passed  to  the
customer, and that there is no direct commitment to repurchase the boat or
to  pay  floor plan interest beyond the sales program terms. This  is  the
method  of  sales  recognition  believed  to  be  in  use  by  most   boat
manufacturers.

      At  June  30,  2002, 2001, and 2000, there were  no  commitments  to
dealers to pay the interest on floor plan financed boats in excess of  the
time  period  specified in the Company's written sales program  and  there
were  no  direct repurchase agreements.  There were no deferred  sales  or
cost of sales estimated at June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000.

      The Company has a contingent liability to repurchase boats where  it
participates in the floor plan financing made available to its dealers  by
third-party  finance companies.  This liability amounted to  approximately
$16,066,953  and  $23,747,900  at June 30, 2002  and  2001,  respectively.
Sales  to  participating  dealers are approved by the  respective  finance
companies.   If a participating dealer does not satisfy its obligation  to
the  lender  and the boat is subsequently repossessed by the lender,  then
the Company may be required to repurchase the boat.

Business Environment.

      Fiscal  2002  presented the Company with an assortment of  difficult
challenges.   Indicators  early in the year led  management  to  expect  a
complicated  sales scenario for the 2002 fiscal period.  Other  challenges
faced the Company in the form of an aging dealer inventory and a sales mix
that  obliged the Company to build a heavier percentage of fish boats than
ever before.

      Fiscal  year  sales  were  down from  Fiscal  2001  over  19%,  from
$46,081,634 to $37,546,692 in Fiscal 2002.  The Company made the  decision
to  assist  its  dealers in retailing their aged inventory,  issuing  over
$2,000,000  in  special discounts, approximately 23% of  the  Fiscal  2002
decrease.

      Dealer  inventory levels were monitored and managed with the Company
ending  the  year at a dealer inventory level that was the lowest  of  the
last  six  years,  costing the Company during the Fiscal  2002  year,  but
setting the stage for Fiscal 2003 new product sales.

      During  the  year, the Company completed the tooling and  design  of
their two newest models in the wide-beam line, the 34' wide-beam fish boat
and the 48' wide-beam cruiser.  These units were first introduced into the
market  in  February 2002 at the Miami International Boat Show. These  two
lines  were  well  accepted by the market.  Since  their  introduction  in
February  2002, sales of these two models accounted for approximately  10%
of  2002  annual sales.  Sales from the new lines introduced in the  Miami
2001 Show sold strong during the year, with the 38' wide-beam fish and the
38' wide-beam cruiser generating over 20% of the Fiscal 2002 total sales.

     The  sales  mix  was perhaps the biggest challenge.   While  the  new
larger  fish  boats  show  profitable  margins,  the  previously  existing
fishboat models tended toward a very small profit for the Company.  Ending
the  year with total mix at almost 40% fish boats in an overall low volume
fiscal year, the Company faced significant difficulties operating with low
gross margins from their sales.

                                     10
<PAGE>





     No  boats  were  repurchased  in  Fiscal  2002,  2001,  and  2000  in
connection  with  floor plan arrangements.  At June 30,  2002,  2001,  and
2000, the Company had recorded a $200,000 reserve for losses which may  be
reasonably expected to be incurred on boat repurchases in future years.

      The  Company  also  completed  refinancing  its  long-term  debt  in
November  2001.  Total proceeds from the note were $10,000,000  which  was
used  to  payoff  an  existing note, to provide working  capital,  and  to
complete the cruiser tooling projects.

      For  the  coming  year, Fiscal 2003, the Company has  established  a
management  team  from  its top level, senior  managers.   This  team  has
launched  the  year  with a plan for significant  improvement.   The  plan
requires strict administration of cost savings and expense cuts, but a new
sales  strategy provides the essential basis for the plan's success, hence
a profitable and successful Fiscal 2003.

Results of Operations.

     Fiscal 2002 net loss for the Company was ($7,031,593) or ($1.49)  per
share.  This compares to a net loss of ($899,526) or ($.19) per share  for
Fiscal 2001.  The discounts issued to move aging dealer inventory, the low
sales volume and poor sales mix resulted in the Fiscal 2002 loss.

     Operating  losses increased to ($5,238,138) from ($2,443,431)  Fiscal
2001.   The  reduction in income was driven by the market decline,  and  a
less  favorable  sales mix as shipments of smaller fish boats,  which  are
lower margin, proved strong during the year.

     Overhead expenses increased slightly as a percent of sales, a  result
of  the drop in the volume level required to cover fixed factory overhead.
This  volume  decrease is reflected in the decline in gross  margins  from
13.46% in 2001 to 4.14% in Fiscal 2002.

      Depreciation expense was $2,294,254 for Fiscal 2002, $2,293,284  for
Fiscal  2001,  and  $2,397,085 for Fiscal 2000.  Depreciation  expense  by

     Interest  expense net of amounts capitalized was $809,571 for  Fiscal
2002,  $700,965 for Fiscal 2001, and $1,065,514 for Fiscal 2000.  Interest
expense increased slightly in Fiscal 2002 primarily from the new long-term
debt amortization.

Based  upon  the  Company experiencing consecutive  operating losses,  the
Company  established  a  valuation allowance of  approximately  $2,600,000
against  deferred  tax assets because of the uncertainty  surrounding  the
realization of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards.  The amount
of  and  ultimate realization of the benefits from the net operating  loss
carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the  tax
laws  in  effect, the Company's future earnings, and other future  events,
the  effects  of  which cannot be determined.  Management recognizes  that
these  net operating loss carryforwards will be available to offset future
taxable income upon their return to profitability.

Liquidity and Financial Resources.

      Net cash used by operations in Fiscal 2002 amounted to ($1,734,962).
Net  loss  plus  adjustments to reconcile net loss to  net  cash  used  by
operating activities including depreciation expense of $2,294,254  and  an
impairment  on  the  long-lived assets of $1,182,320  and  other  non-cash
transactions  used  ($2,635,695)  before  other  changes  in  assets   and
liability  accounts.  $1,395,518 was provided by decrease in  inventories.
The ending cash balance was $329,640.

       Net  cash  provided  by  operations  in  Fiscal  2001  amounted  to
$4,284,701.  Net loss plus adjustments to reconcile net loss to  net  cash
provided  by  operating  activities  including  depreciation  expense   of
$2,293,284  changes  in  deferred  taxes  and  gain  on  sale  of   assets
contributed $500,446 and provided net cash of $483,801 before  changes  in
asset  and  liability accounts.  However, relatively  large  amounts  were
needed  to continue investment activities in constructing property, plant,
equipment, and molds.  The ending cash balance was $796,606.

     Net   cash  provided  by  operations  in  Fiscal  2000  amounted   to
$3,989,220.   Net income plus adjustments to reconcile net income  to  net
cash  provided by operating activities including depreciation  expense  of
$2,397,085  changes in deferred taxes of $1,020,970 and loss  on  sale  of
assets of $12,846 provided net cash of $4,689,243 before changes in  asset
and liability accounts.  However, relatively large amounts were needed  to
complete  investment activities in purchasing property, plant,  equipment,
inventory and molds.  The ending cash balance was $1,983,439.

     Investing  activities for Fiscal 2002 required $1,820,959,  of  which
$1,370,526  was  used  to complete construction of new  molds  and  plugs,
$231,080  was used to purchase property, plant and equipment, and $219,536
was  used for payments increasing the cash surrender value of certain  key
man life insurance policies.

     Investing  activities for Fiscal 2001 required $1,875,972,  including
$590,591  used  for  property, plant and equipment,  $2,819,252  used  for
construction of molds and plugs, $216,849 used for payments increasing the
cash surrender value of life insurance policies and proceeds of $1,750,720
generated from the sale of property and equipment.

     Investing  activities for Fiscal 2000 required $2,400,549,  including
$1,678,236  for  property, plant and equipment, $1,154,908 for  additional
molds and plugs, $122,637 for payments increasing the cash surrender value
of  life  insurance policies and proceeds of $555,232  from  the  sale  of
equipment.

     Financing  activities  for  Fiscal  2002  provided  $3,088,955.   The
proceeds from the notes payable and long term debt contributed $3,955,644.
Payments  on  long-term debt used $560,181, and payments of deferred  loan
costs were $306,508.

     Financing  activities for Fiscal 2001 used $3,595,562.   Included  in
this  amount are proceeds from issuance of notes payable from Northwestern
Mutual  Life  for $150,000 and debt repayment to General Electric  Capital
Corporation and others in the amount of $3,745,562.

     Financing  activities for Fiscal 2000 used $1,822,534.   Included  in
this amount are proceeds from issuance of notes payable and long-term debt
to  Northwestern  Mutual  Life  Insurance  and  General  Electric  Capital
Corporation for $760,212 and debt repayment in the amount of $2,582,746.

                                     13
<PAGE>


     The  net decrease in cash for Fiscal 2002 was $466,966, primarily due
to  the net loss resulting from decreased sales volume and sales discounts
issued  to  move  aging dealer inventory.  The net decrease  in  cash  for
Fiscal  2001  was $1,186,833, primarily due to the repayment of  long-term
debt, and the investment in equipment and molds.  The net decrease in cash
for  Fiscal  2000  was  $233,862,  primarily  due  to  the  investment  in
facilities,  equipment,  and  molds.   The  Company  has  implemented   an
aggressive  budget  for  Fiscal 2003 that  they  believe  will  result  in
significant improvement in sales and yield improved net results during the
year and at their year-end.

Effects of Inflation.

      The  Company  has  not  been materially  affected  by  the  moderate
inflation  of  recent years.  Since most of the Company's  plant  and  its
equipment  are  relatively  new, expenditures  for  replacements  are  not
expected to be a factor in the near-term future.

      When  raw material costs increase because of inflation, the  Company
attempts  to  minimize the effect of these increases by using alternative,
less costly materials, or by finding less costly sources for the materials
it uses.  When the foregoing measures are not possible, selling prices are
increased to recover the cost increases.

      The  Company's products are targeted at the segment of the powerboat
market  where retail purchasers are generally less significantly  affected
by  price or other economic conditions.  Consequently, management believes
that  the impact of inflation on sales and the results of operations  will
not be material.

Cautionary  Statement  for  Purposes of "Safe Harbor"  Under  the  Private
Securities Reform Act of 1995.

      The  Company may from time to time make forward-looking  statements,
including  statements projecting, forecasting, or estimating the Company's
performance  and  industry trends.  The achievement  of  the  projections,
forecasts,  or  estimates  contained in these  statements  is  subject  to
certain risks and uncertainties, and actual results and events may  differ
materially from those projected, forecast, or estimated.

      The applicable risks and uncertainties include general economic  and
industry  conditions that affect all businesses, as well as  matters  that
are  specific to the Company and the markets it serves.  For example,  the
achievement  of  projections, forecasts, or  estimates  contained  in  the
Company's  forward-looking  statements may be  impacted  by  national  and
international economic conditions; compliance with governmental  laws  and
regulations;  accidents  and acts of God; and all  of  the  general  risks
associated with doing business.

      Risks  that are specific to the Company and its markets include  but
are  not  limited to compliance with increasingly stringent  environmental
laws and regulations; the cyclical nature of the industry; competition  in
pricing and new product development from larger companies with substantial
resources; the concentration of a substantial percentage of the  Company's
sales  with  a few major customers, the loss of, or change in demand  from
dealers, any of which could have a material impact upon the Company; labor
relations  at  the  Company and at its customers and  suppliers;  and  the
Company's  single-source supply and just-in-time inventory strategies  for
some  critical boat components, including high performance engines,  which
could  adversely affect production if a single-source supplier  is  unable
for any reason to meet the Company's requirements on a timely basis.

Item 8.  Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.


                       INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



To the Board of Directors
FOUNTAIN POWERBOAT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Washington, North Carolina


We  have  audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fountain
Powerboat  Industries, Inc. and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2002  and  2001,
and  the  related  consolidated  statements of  operations,  stockholders'
equity  and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2002, 2001  and  2000.
These  consolidated  financial statements are the  responsibility  of  the
Company's  management.   Our responsibility is to express  an  opinion  on
these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits in accordance with generally accepted  auditing
standards  in the United States of America.  Those standards require  that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the  financial  statements are free of material  misstatement.   An  audit
includes  examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts  and
disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing
the   accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made   by
management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  financial   statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable  basis  for
our opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated financial statements  audited  by  us
present  fairly,  in  all  material respects, the  consolidated  financial
position of Fountain Powerboat Industries, Inc. and Subsidiary as of  June
30,  2002  and 2001, and the consolidated results of their operations  and
their  cash  flows  for the years ended June 30, 2002, 2001  and  2000  in
conformity  with generally accepted accounting principles  in  the  United
States of America.

The  accompanying  financial statements have been  prepared  assuming  the
Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 16 to  the
financial  statements, the Company, has current liabilities in  excess  of
current  assets  and  has  incurred recent losses.   These  factors  raise
substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a  going
concern.   Management's  plans  in  regards  to  these  matters  are  also
described  in  Note  16.   The financial statements  do  not  include  any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

            FOUNTAIN POWERBOAT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Nature of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies.

  Nature  of  the  Business:  Fountain  Powerboat  Industries,  Inc.   and
  Subsidiary  (the  Company)  manufacture  high-performance  sport  boats,
  sport  cruisers, sport fishing boats, custom offshore racing  boats  and
  super  cruiser yachts.  These boats are sold to the Company's  worldwide
  network  of  approximately  32  dealers.   The  Company's  offices   and
  manufacturing facilities are located in Washington, North  Carolina  and
  the  Company  has  been  in business since 1979.   The  Company  employs
  approximately  350  people  and  is an  equal  opportunity,  affirmative
  action employer.

  Principles  of  Consolidation:  The  consolidated  financial  statements
  include  the  accounts of the Company and its wholly  owned  subsidiary,
  Fountain  Powerboats, Inc.  All significant inter-company  accounts  and
  transactions have been eliminated in consolidation

  Fiscal  Year: The Company's fiscal year-end is June 30th, which  is  its
  natural business year-end.

  Accounting  Estimates:  The  preparation  of  financial  statements   in
  conformity  with generally accepted accounting principles in the  United
  States  of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities,  the
  disclosures  of  contingent assets and liabilities at the  date  of  the
  financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and  expenses
  during  the  reporting period.  Actual results could differ  from  those
  estimated by management.

  Cash  and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the statement of cash flows,
  the  Company  considers  all  highly  liquid  debt  instruments  with  a
  maturity  of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At  June  30,
  2002  and 2001, the Company had $229,640 and $694,606, respectively,  in
  excess of federally insured amounts held in cash.

  Inventories:  Inventories are stated at the lower  of  cost  or  market.
  Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method (See Note 2).

  Property,  Plant, and Equipment and Depreciation: Property,  plant,  and
  equipment  are  carried at cost.  Depreciation on property,  plant,  and
  equipment  is  calculated using the straight-line method  and  is  based
  upon the estimated useful lives of the assets (See Note 3).

  Fair  Value of Financial Instruments:  Management estimates the carrying
  value  of financial instruments on the consolidated financial statements
  approximates their fair values.

  Dealer  Territory  Service Accrual: The Company had, in  prior  periods,
  established a sales program to pay a service award to dealers  for  boat
  deliveries  into  their  market territory for which  they  will  perform
  service. The service award is a dollar amount based on the model of  the
  boat  sold,  combined with a factor for the dealer's service performance
  rating.   The  Company  had accrued estimated dealer  territory  service
  awards   at   June  30,  2002  and  2001  of  $491,710   and   $958,581,
  respectively.

  Allowance  for  Boat Repurchases: The Company provides an allowance  for
  boats,  financed by dealers under floor plan finance arrangements,  that
  may  be  repurchased from finance companies under certain  circumstances
  where  the  Company  has a repurchase agreement with  the  lender.   The
  amount  of the allowance is based upon probable future events which  can
  be reasonably estimated (See Note 9).

  Internal  Use  Software: The Company accounts for internal use  software
  and  development cost in accordance with the Statement of Position (SOP)
  98-1,  "Accounting for Computer Software Developed for or  Obtained  for
  Internal  Use".   The SOP requires the capitalization  of  certain  cost
  incurred  in  connection  with  developing  or  obtaining  software  for
  internal use.

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Nature  of  the  Business  and Significant  Accounting  Policies.
          [Continued]

  Revenue   Recognition:  The  Company  generally  sells  boats  only   to
  authorized dealers and to the U.S. Government.  A sale is recorded  when
  a  boat is shipped to a dealer or to the Government, legal title and all
  other  incidents of ownership have passed from the Company to the dealer
  or  to  the Government, and an account receivable is recorded or payment
  is  received from the dealer, from the Government, or from the  dealer's
  third-party  commercial lender.  This is the method of sales recognition
  in use by most boat manufacturers.

  The  Company has developed criteria for determining whether  a  shipment
  should  be  recorded as a sale or as a deferred sale  (a  balance  sheet
  liability).   The criteria for recording a sale are that  the  boat  has
  been  completed and shipped to a dealer or to the Government, that title
  and  all  other incidents of ownership have passed to the dealer  or  to
  the  Government, and that there is no direct or indirect  commitment  to
  the  dealer or to the Government to repurchase the boat or to pay  floor
  plan  interest for the dealer beyond the normal, published sales program
  terms.

  The  sales  incentive  floor plan interest expense for  each  individual
  boat  sale  is  accrued for the six months (180 days)  interest  payment
  period  in the same fiscal accounting period that the related boat  sale
  is  recorded.  The entire six months' interest expense is accrued at the
  time  of  the  sale because the Company considers it a  selling  expense
  (See  Note 9).  The amount of interest accrued is subsequently  adjusted
  to  reflect the actual number of days of remaining liability  for  floor
  plan  interest  for  each  individual boat  remaining  in  the  dealer's
  inventory and on floor plan.

  Income  Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance  with
  issued  Statement  of  Financial Accounting Standards  (SFAS)  No.  109,
  "Accounting for Income Taxes "(See Note 7).

  Advertising  Cost:  Cost  incurred in connection  with  advertising  and
  promotion  of  the  Company's products are expensed as  incurred.   Such
  costs  amounted  to $775,524, $1,123,976 and $1,456,592  for  the  years
  ended 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

  Earnings  Per  Share:  The Company accounts for earnings  per  share  in
  accordance  with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  (SFAS)
  No.  128  "Earnings  Per Share," which requires the Company  to  present
  basic  and diluted earnings per share.  The computation of basic earning
  per  share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding
  during  the periods presented.  The computation of diluted earnings  per
  shares  is  based  on the weighted average number of outstanding  common
  shares  during the year plus, when their effect is dilutive,  additional
  shares  assuming  the  exercise of certain vested and  non-vested  stock
  options  and  warrants, reduced by the number of shares which  could  be
  purchased from the proceeds (See Note 14).

  Warranties:  The  Company warrants the entire deck and  hull,  including
  its  supporting  bulkhead  and  stringer  system,  against  defects   in
  materials  and workmanship for a period of six years.  The  Company  has
  accrued a reserve for these anticipated future warranty costs.

  Stock  Based  Compensation: The Company has adopted the disclosure  only
  provisions of SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"  to
  account  for  stock  based  compensation accordingly,  the  Company  has
  elected  to  determine  net income using previous accounting  standards.
  This  statement establishes an accounting method based on the fair value
  of  equity  instruments awarded to employees as compensation.   However,
  companies   are  permitted  to  continue  applying  previous  accounting
  standards  in  the  determination of net income with disclosure  in  the
  notes  to  the financial statements of the differences between  previous
  accounting  measurements  and those formulated  by  the  new  accounting
  standard.

  Reclassifications:   The financial statements for years  prior  to  June
  30,   2002   have  been  reclassified  to  conform  with  headings   and
  classifications used in the June 30, 2002 financial statements.

Note 5.  Long-term Debt and Pledged Assets.  [Continued]

  On  November 2, 2001, the Company signed a $10,000,000 credit  agreement
  with  General Electric Capital Corporation.  Under the terms of the  new
  credit  agreement,  the  Company refinanced  substantially  all  of  its
  interest bearing debt and borrowed additional funds to complete  tooling
  projects  and  for working capital.  The credit agreement  involves  two
  notes,  both  with an interest rate of prime plus 2%.  Combined  monthly
  payments  are  $128,005.  The $7,000,000 note has  monthly  payments  of
  approximately  $85,000  and a  ten year amortization  with  a  five-year
  balloon  payment  and is secured by a first lien on the Company's  plant
  and  property.   The second note of $3,000,000 has monthly  payments  of
  approximately  $45,000,  a  seven  year amortization  with  a  five-year
  balloon payment, and is secured by a second lien on the Company's  plant
  and  property.   This  second note is guaranteed by  the  United  States
  Department  of  Agriculture.  These notes  are  further  secured  by  an
  assignment  of a $1,000,000 key man life insurance policy to the  lender
  and  the personal guarantee of the Company's President with real  estate
  valued at approximately $1,000,000.

  statements.


Note 7.  Income Taxes.

  The  Company  accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement  of
  Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109.  SFAS 109  requires  the
  Company  to provide a net deferred tax asset or liability equal  to  the
  expected   future   tax  benefit  or  expense  of  temporary   reporting
  differences between book and tax accounting and any available  operating
  loss or tax credit carryforwards.

  At  June  30, 2002 and 2001, the totals of all deferred tax assets  were
  $1,132,181  and  $1,469,937, respectively.  The totals of  all  deferred
  tax  liabilities were $962,879 and $759,577, respectively.   The  amount
  of  and  ultimate  realization of the benefits  from  the  deferred  tax
  assets for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax  laws
  in  effect, the Company's future earnings, and other future events,  the
  effects of which cannot be determined.

  The   Company   has   an  unused  federal  and  state   operating   loss
  carryforwards   at  June  30,  2002  of  approximately  $6,269,213   and
  $9,368,943, respectively, which expires in various years through 2022.

Note 8. Research and Development.

  The  Company  expenses  the costs of research and  development  for  new
  products  and  components  as  the costs  are  incurred.   Research  and
  development  costs  are included in the cost of sales  and  amounted  to
  $952,332  for  Fiscal 2002, $813,710 for Fiscal 2001, and  $926,486  for
  Fiscal 2000.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies.

  Employment  Agreement:  The Company entered into a  one-year  employment
  agreement in 1989 with its Chairman, Mr. Reginald M. Fountain, Jr.   The
  agreement  provides for automatic one-year renewals at the end  of  each
  year  subject to Mr. Fountain's continued employment.  During 1998,  the
  Company  entered  into  a  three  year  employment  agreement  with  the
  Company's Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President.

  Dealer  Interest:  The  Company regularly pays  a  portion  of  dealers'
  interest  charges  for  floor  plan financing.  These  interest  charges
  amounted  to  $596,111 for Fiscal 2002, $953,600  for  Fiscal  2001  and
  $1,164,561  for  Fiscal  2000.  They are included  in  the  accompanying
  consolidated  statements of operations as part of selling  expense.   At
  June  30,  2002 and 2001 the estimated unpaid dealer incentive  interest
  included   in  accrued  dealer  incentives  amounted  to  $178,857   and
  $224,098, respectively.

  Product  Liability  and  Other Litigation: There  were  various  product
  liability and warranty lawsuits brought against the Company at June  30,
  2002.   The Company intends to vigorously defend its interests in  these
  matters.  The Company carries sufficient product liability insurance  to
  cover  attorney's  fees  and  any losses, which  may  occur  from  these
  lawsuits over and above the insurance deductibles.  The Company is  also
  involved  from  time  to  time in other litigation  through  the  normal
  course  of  its  business.   Management  believes  there  are  no   such
  undisclosed  claims which would have a material effect on the  financial
  position of the Company.

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  Manufacturer Repurchase Agreements: The Company makes available  through
  third-party  finance  companies floor plan financing  for  many  of  its
  dealers.   Sales to participating dealers are approved by the respective
  finance  companies.   If a participating dealer  does  not  satisfy  its
  obligations under the floor plan financing agreement in effect with  its
  commercial  lender(s)  and  boats are subsequently  repossessed  by  the
  lender(s), then under certain circumstances the Company may be  required
  to  repurchase  the  repossessed boats if it has executed  a  repurchase
  agreement  with the lender(s).  At June 30, 2002 and 2001,  the  Company
  had  a  contingent liability to repurchase boats in the event of  dealer
  defaults  and  if  repossessed by the commercial  lenders  amounting  to
  approximately  $16,066,953 and $23,747,900, respectively.   The  Company
  has  reserved for the future losses it might incur upon the repossession
  and  repurchase  of boats from commercial lenders.  The  amount  of  the
  reserve  is  based upon probable future events, which can be  reasonably
  estimated.   At  June  30,  2002  and  2001,  the  allowance  for   boat
  repurchases was $200,000.

  401  (k) Payroll Savings Plan: During Fiscal 1991, the Company initiated
  a  401(k)  Payroll  Savings Plan (the 401(k) Plan)  for  all  employees.
  Eligible  employees may elect to defer up to fifteen  percent  of  their
  salaries.   The  amounts deferred by the employees are fully  vested  at
  all   times.   The  Company  currently  matches  fifty  percent  of  the
  employee's  deferred salary amounts limited to a maximum of six  percent
  of  their  salaried  amounts, or a maximum of  three  percent  of  their
  salaries.   Amounts contributed by the Company vest at a rate of  twenty
  percent  per  year of service.  Mr. Fountain, by his own election,  does
  not  participate  in  the  401(k) Plan.  There  are  no  post-retirement
  benefit plans in effect.

  Environmental:   The  Company  was  notified  by   the   United   States
  Environmental  Protection Agency (the EPA) that it has  been  identified
  as  a  potentially responsible party (a PRP) and may incur, or may  have
  incurred,  liability  for  the  remediation  of  contamination  at   the
  Seaboard  waste  disposal site, located in High Point,  North  Carolina,
  also  referred  to as the Jamestown, North Carolina site resulting  from
  the  disposal  of hazardous substances at those sites by a  third  party
  contractor  of  the  Company.   The Company  disposed  of  approximately
  19,000  gallons  of  hazardous  waste at  the  Seaboard  disposal  site,
  according  to  PRP  Group records.  The total of estimated  gallons  for
  this  site  is  approximately 14.3 million.  Accordingly, the  Company's
  share  is  .148%  of the total estimated assessment of cleanup  cost  or
  approximately $40,000.  The Group Administrator has confirmed that  this
  is  a  revised  estimate  and  that, under worst  case  conditions,  the
  Company's  potential liability at this site is now  expected  to  be  no
  more  than  $20,000,  and  could be less if eligible  for  a  settlement
  agreement  likely to be proposed by the EPA in early 2003.  If  approved
  by  the  North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural  Resources
  and  EPA,  the  Company's share could be as low as $18,000 according  to
  the Group Administrator.

Note 11.  Transactions with Related Parties.

  The  Company expensed the following amounts for apartment rentals  owned
  or  controlled  by  Reginald M. Fountain, Jr., the  Company's  Chairman,
  President,  and  Chief Executive Officer: for Fiscal 2002,  $22,013;  in
  Fiscal  2001,  $22,734; and in Fiscal 2000, $9,880.  At June  30,  2002,
  the Company owed Reginald M. Fountain, Jr. $1,100 for these rentals.

  The  Company  paid $41,361, $199,442, and $345,049 for  the  year  ended
  June  30,  2002,  2001  and 2000 for advertising  and  public  relations
  services  from  an entity owned by a director of the Company.   At  June
  30, 2002,  the Company owed an entity  owned by a director  $145,257 for
  these services.

  A  Director  of  the  Company is an owner of a marine dealership,  which
  accounted for 4% of the Company's sales in Fiscal 2002.

Note 12.  Concentration of Credit Risk.

  Concentration of credit risk arises due to the Company operating in  the
  marine industry, particularly in the United States. In Fiscal 2002,  one
  dealer  accounted  for 11.8% of sales, one dealer  for  11.7%,  and  two
  other   dealers  for  8%  individually.   For  Fiscal  2001  one  dealer
  comprised  11.5%  of sales, one dealer 10.5% of sales,  and  four  other
  dealers  4  to  6% of sales individually.  For Fiscal 2000,  one  dealer
  accounted  for 7.4% of sales, a dealer accounted for 6.1% of sales,  and
  a dealer accounted for 5.7% of sales.

Note 13.  Gain on Insurance Claims from Hurricanes.

  During  September  1999,  the  Company  experienced  flooding  and   the
  temporary  closure of the production facility as a result of  Hurricanes
  "Dennis"  and "Floyd" hitting Eastern North Carolina.  As  a  result  of
  the  hurricanes, the Company sustained damages of $277,172 to  inventory
  and  $389,063 to property, plant and equipment, which includes  $300,000
  in  damages  to  the  Company's yacht mold  and  $51,658  in  additional
  expenses.   The Company filed a business interruption claim for  damages
  due  to  loss  revenues from the closure of the production facility  and
  inefficiencies  due  to  storm  preparation,  cleanup  and  work   force
  shortages.   During  2000, the insurance carriers  paid  $1,058,618  for
  damages  to  the inventory, property plant, and equipment including  the
  Yacht  Mold  and  other  expenses, and  $725,000  towards  the  business
  interruption  claim.   During  October 2000,  the  Company  received  an
  additional   $1,350,000   as  final  and  full   payment   of   business
  interruption claims.  During the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000  the
  Company  recorded  a  gain on insurance claims from  the  hurricanes  of
  $1,107,819 and $1,065,725, respectively.

  The  Company had at June 30, 2002 options to purchase 135,000 shares  of
  common  stock at prices ranging from $1.34 to $5.00 per share that  were
  not  included in the computation of  loss per share because their effect
  was anti-dilutive.


Note 15. Extraordinary Item / Gain on Settlement of Lawsuit

  During  April  2000,  the Company recognized an  extraordinary  gain  of
  $790,041 net of income taxes of $523,183 from the settlement of a  class
  action  lawsuit alleging antitrust violations against a  vender  of  the
  Company who is in the sterndrive and inboard engine business.


Note 16. Going Concern

  During  the  current  fiscal  year,  the  Company  incurred  significant
  expenses associated with the new product development of their 34 and  48
  foot  wide  beam  cruisers.  The resulting working capital  deficiencies
  and  net  loss  raise substantial doubt about the Company's  ability  to
  continue  as a going concern.  Having completed these capital  projects,
  the  Company  has  halted  all major capital expenditures,  choosing  to
  focus  their  resources on existing sales order backlogs  and  improving
  their  production processes.  The Company is further seeking  to  obtain
  additional  debt  financing.   While there  is  no  assurance  that  the
  Company  will  be  successful in implementing these plans,  the  Company
  believes  it is able to improve its position with proper management  and
  expects  evidence  of such will result from the production  of  existing
  retail   sales   orders  and  continued  progress   with   aged   dealer
  inventories.  The consolidated financial statements do not  include  any
  adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
