Results of Operations

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 increased by 12.6% to 
$3,039,900 in 1999 from $2,699,500 in 1998.  These increases were primarily 
the result of  increased unit sales of the Company's pool panel products 
along with increased unit sales of the Company's IceStorT products.

Cost of goods sold was relatively stable in absolute dollars at $1,772,200 
in the first quarter of 1999 compared with $1,763,400 in the first quarter 
of 1998 while decreasing from 65.3% of net sales  to 58.3% of net sales from 
the first quarter of 1998 to the first quarter of 1999.  This decrease in 
cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales were due primarily to 
increased efficiencies in the production process which allowed the Company 
to produce more product with fewer employees.

Marketing and selling expenses were increased slightly in absolute dollars at
$529,100 in the first quarter of 1999 compared with $505,600 in the first 
quarter of 1998 while decreasing from 18.7% of net sales to 17.4% of net 
sales  in the first quarter of 1999.

General and administrative expenses were relatively stable at $368,300 in the
first quarter of 1999 compared with $344,800 in the same quarter in 1998 
while decreasing from 12.8% of net sales in the first quarter of 1998 to 
12.1% of net sales in the first quarter of 1999.
 
Research and development expenses increased to $101,700 (3.3% of net sales) 
in 1999 from $45,500 (1.7% of net sales) in the first quarter of 1998 due 
mainly to an increase in the number of engineering projects which are 
targeted on introducing new and improved products in the next few years.  

Net interest expense decreased to $24,500 (0.8% of net sales) in the first 
quarter of 1999 from $35,100 (1.3% of net sales) in the first quarter of 
1998.  This decrease was due primarily to lower average daily borrowing in 
1999 than in 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's cash position decreased from $477,500 at 1998 fiscal year end 
to $249,900 at March 31, 1999 principally due to increased accounts 
receivable partially offset by decreased inventories and increased accounts 
payable.
 
At March 31, 1999, the Company's accounts payable and other accrued expenses 
had increased to $1,126,000 from $1,065,600 at December 31, 1998.  This 
increase is primarily due to decreased cash flow during the first quarter of 
1999 as a result of the Company's "Early Buy" program for Above Ground Pool 
systems.

At March 31, 1999, the Company's net accounts receivable had increased to 
$2,607,500 from $1,876,600 at December 31, 1998 due mainly to the Company's 
"Early Buy" program for Above Ground Pool systems. 

At March 31, 1999, the Company's net inventories had decreased to $1,067,200 
from $1,265,400 at December 31, 1998 due mainly to sales being higher than 
planned during the first quarter of 1999. 


Part I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

At March 31, 1999 the Company's current ratio was 2.62 to 1 compared with 
2.72 to 1 at December 31, 1998.  The Company had working capital of 
$2,758,000 at March 31, 1999 compared with $2,637,200 at December 31, 1998.  
Total assets exceeded total liabilities by $3,066,100 at March 31, 1999 
compared with $2,886,400 at December 31, 1998.

The Company believes that its cash flow from operations along with its 
available line of credit will be sufficient to support operations during the 
next twelve months.
