      NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The  accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company
  without  audit.   In  the opinion of management, all adjustments  (which
  include  only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present  fairly
  the  financial  position,  results  of  operations  and  cash  flows  at
  September 30, 2002 and for all periods presented have been made.

  Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally  included  in
  financial  statements  prepared in accordance  with  generally  accepted
  accounting  principles  in  the  United  States  of  America  have  been
  condensed   or   omitted  for  purposes  of  filing  interim   financial
  statements  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.    It   is
  suggested  that  these  condensed  financial  statements  be   read   in
  conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included  in
  the  Company's June 30, 2002 audited financial statements.  The  results
  of   operations  for  the  period  ended  September  30,  2002  is   not
  necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

  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

  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  September
  30,  2002  and  June 30, 2002, the Company had $630,491 and  $229,640  ,
  respectively, in excess of federally insured amounts held in cash.

  Recently  Enacted Accounting Standards: During quarter  ended  September
  30,   2002,   the  Company  adopted  Emerging  Issue  Task  Force   01-9
  "Accounting  for  Consideration  Given  by  a  Vendor  to   a   Customer
  (including a Reseller of the Vendor's Products)", requiring the  Company
  to  reclassify dealer incentive interest paid to resellers from  Selling
  Expense  to  Net  Sales.   Prior  year financial  statements  have  been
  reclassified to reflect the change in accounting principle.

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

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

      NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION [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  Government,  and  an  accounts receivable  is  recorded  or  payment
  received  from  the dealer, the Government, or 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  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.

  The  sales  incentive interest payment program for  each  boat  sale  is
  accrued  for  the  entire interest period in the same fiscal  accounting
  period  that  the  related sale is recorded.   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.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

  As  of  September 30, 2002, accounts receivable were $1,489,949  net  of
  the  allowance  for bad debts of $27,841.  This is a decrease  from  the
  $3,003,992  in net accounts receivable recorded at June  30,  2002.   Of
  the  balance  at  September  30, 2002, $815,346  has  subsequently  been
  collected  as  of  October  11,  2002, and  the  remaining  $674,603  is
  believed to be fully collectible.

NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

  Inventory  is  carried at the lower of cost or market  with  cost  being
  determined  on  a  first  in  first out  method  and  consisted  of  the
  following at September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002:

NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK

  During  September 2002, a director of the Company exercised  his  option
  to  purchase 12,500 shares of the Company's common stock at  $1.344  per
  share.

  During  December  2001, the Company issued 10,000  options  to  purchase
  common  stock  to  a  consultant for services to be rendered  valued  at
  $12,342.   The options are exercisable at $1.45 per share, vest  through
  December  2004  and  expire  December 2009.  During  the  quarter  ended
  September 30, 2002, the Company recorded consulting expense of $991.

  During  January  2002,  the Company issued 20,000  options  to  purchase
  common  stock  to  a  consultant for services to be rendered  valued  at
  $27,953.   The options are exercisable at $1.67 per share, vest  through
  January  2004  and  expire  January  2009.   During  the  quarter  ended
  September 30, 2002, the Company recorded consulting expense of $3,425.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  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 September  30,
  2002,  the Company had a total contingent liability to repurchase  boats
  in  the  event  of dealer defaults and if repossessed by the  commercial
  lenders  amounting  to  approximately  $17,676,647.   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
  allowance  is based upon probable future events which can be  reasonably
  estimated.   At  September 30, 2002, the allowance for boat  repurchases
  was $200,000.

  Dealer  Interest  -  The Company regularly pays a  portion  of  dealers'
  interest  charges  for  floor plan financing.   These  interest  charges
  amounted  to  approximately  $237,574 and the  estimated  unpaid  dealer
  incentive  interest  included in accrued expenses amounted  to  $295,222
  for the first three months ended September 30, 2002.


NOTE 6 - TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

  At  September  30, 2002, the Company had receivables and  advances  from
  employees of the Company amounting to $12,506.

  During  the  three  month period ended September 30, 2002,  the  Company
  paid  $4,300  for services rendered to entities owned or  controlled  by
  the Company's Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.

  The  Company  paid $4,000 during the three month period ended  September
  30,  2002  for advertising services received from an entity owned  by  a
  Company director.

  During  September 2002, a director of the Company exercised  options  to
  purchase 12,500 shares of common stock at $1.344 per share.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES

  For  the  three  month period ended September 30,  2002  and  2001,  the
  Company paid $0 and $9,785 for current income taxes and incurred  a  tax
  expense/(benefit) for deferred income taxes of $181,441 and  ($308,232),
  respectively.

NOTE 8 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

  The  computations of earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings  per
  share  amounts are based upon the weighted average number of outstanding
  common  shares during the periods, plus, when their effect is  dilutive,
  additional  shares  assuming  the  exercise  of  certain  vested   stock
  options,  reduced by the number of shares which could be purchased  from
  the  proceeds from the exercise of the stock options assuming they  were
  exercised.  Diluted earnings per share for the three month period  ended
  September 30, 2001, was not presented as its effect was anti-dilutive.

  The   weighted  average  common  shares  and  common  equivalent  shares
  outstanding  for  purposes  of calculating earnings  per  share  was  as
  follows:

                                                  September 30, September 30,
                                                      2002          2001

                                                  ____________  ____________

  At  September 30, 2002 there were 516,000 unexercised stock options,  of
  which  480,000  were held by officers and directors of  the  Company  at
  prices  ranging from $3.58 to $5.00 per share that were not included  in
  the  computation  of  earnings per share because  the  effect  is  anti-
  dilutive.

NOTE 9 - GOING CONCERN

  The  accompanying financial statements have been prepared in  conformity
  with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States which
  contemplate  continuation of the Company as a going  concern.   However,
  the  Company has current liabilities  in excess of current assets  which
  raises substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as
  a  going concern.  In this regard, management has accelerated efforts to
  introduce  new products,  has executed  plans  and  actions that  reduce
  expenses  through   direct  labor  and  overhead   cost  cuts,  and  has
  implemented   significant  reductions  to  selling   and   general   and
  administrative expenses.  Management believes it could raise  additional
  funds through  debt or equity financing.  There is no assurance that the
  Company  will  be  successful  in raising  this  additional  capital  or
  achieving sustained profitable operations.  The financial statements  do
  not  include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
  uncertainties.

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

Results of Operations.

Net sales were $12,002,119 for the first quarter ended September 30, 2002,
an increase of over 45% from the same period last year which had net sales
of  $8,238,779.   Unit sales volume for three months ended  September  30,
2002 was 85 boats versus 59 boats for the three months ended September 30,
2001.

Gross  margin on sales for the three months ended September 30,  2002  was
$1,905,951 or 15.9% compared to $475,472 or 5.8% gross margin for the same
period  of  the previous year.  Margins improved as a result of  increased
sales  volume,  with  model mix for those sales  improving  over  previous
periods, and cost savings in factory overhead.

The operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $663,268
or  $.14  per  share compared to an operating loss for the  first  quarter
ended September 30, 2001 of ($672,173) or ($.14) per share.  The operating
income as a percent of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2002
was  5.53%  versus (8.16%) for the three months ended September 30,  2001.
Net  earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2002 were  $204,202
or $.04 per share up from a net loss of ($506,643) or ($.11) per share for
the three months ended September 30, 2001.

Selling  expenses were $832,978 for the three months ended  September  30,
2002  as  compared  to $659,920 for the three months ended  September  30,
2001.    Selling   expenses  increased  due  to  higher  sales   salaries,
commissions, and consulting fees resulting from the improvement  in  sales
between the years.  Race expenses and advertising also rose from the prior
year as the Company promoted their new products and their improved pricing
structure.

General and administrative expenses were $409,705 or 3.4% of net sales for
the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $487,727 or 5.9%  of
net  sales  for  the three months ended September 30, 2001.   Decrease  in
expenses resulted from a temporary pay decrease of over 70% taken  by  the

Financial Condition.
The Company's cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2002 are
summarized as follows:
     Net cash provided by operating activities     $ 825,054
     Net cash provided by investing activities      (203,405)
     Net cash used in financing activities          (220,798)
     Net increase in cash                          $ 400,851

This  net increase compares to a ($469,312) decrease for the three  months
ended  September  30, 2001.  Cash provided by operating activities  during
the  three  months  ended  September 30, 2002  was  largely  generated  by
decrease  in  accounts receivable balances since June 30, 2002.   Accounts
payable  decreased over $500,000 for the three months ended September  30,
2002.

For  the next fiscal quarter and for the remainder of the year ending June
30,  2003 the Company believes that it will continue to improve upon prior
years  operating  results.  Management has developed a plan  that  budgets
expenses and clearly outlines certain sales goals and expectations for the
remainder  of  the fiscal year.  After surpassing this plan in  the  first
quarter  of  Fiscal 2003, management anticipates that continued operations
under this plan will result in a profitable and successful year.


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, forecasted, 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,
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.
