Item l.  Business

General: The Company was organized on November 13, 1973 under the laws of the
state of Florida. The Company is principally engaged in the manufacturing,
marketing and distribution of a broad line of appearance and maintenance
products for boats, recreational vehicles, automotive, and aircraft under the
Star brite name.

The Registrant's trade name has been trademarked and the Registrant has had no
incidents of infringement. In the event of such infringement, the Registrant
would defend its trade name vigorously. The Registrant has two patents which it
believes are valuable in limited product lines, but not material to its success
or competitiveness in general.

Products of the Company:

Set forth is a general description of the products which the Company
manufactures and markets:

Marine: The Marine line consists of polishes, cleaners, protectants and waxes of
various formulations. The line also includes various vinyl protectants,
cleaners, teak cleaners, teak oils, bilge cleaners, hull cleaners, silicone
sealants, polyurethane sealants, polysulfide sealants, gasket materials,
lubricants and antifouling additives and anti-freeze coolants.

Recreational vehicle: The Recreational vehicle products are made up of cleaners,
polishes, detergents, fabric cleaners and protectors, silicone sealants,
waterproofers, gasket materials, degreasers, vinyl cleaners and protectors and
anti-freeze coolants.

Automotive: Through December 31, 1999, this line was primarily composed of
anti-freeze, windshield washes, and polishes. The Company intends to introduce a
line of oils, lubricants and other engine fluids during the early part of fiscal
2000.

Aircraft: The Aircraft product line consists primarily of polishes and cleaners.

Although the above products are utilized for different types of vehicles and
boats, it is management's view that they all constitute one industry segment.

Manufacturing: The Company manufactures and packages its products as well as
contracts with unrelated companies to package its products which are
manufactured to the Company's specifications, using the Company's formulas for
each product. All raw materials used in manufacturing are readily available.
Each external packager enters into a confidentiality agreement with the Company.
The Company has patent protection on some of its products. The Company designs
its own packaging and supplies the external manufacturers with the appropriate
design and packaging. Manufacturing is primarily performed by the Company and
two independent entities located in the northeastern area of the country. The
Company believes that its internal manufacturing capacity as well as the
arrangements with the present outside manufacturers are adequate for its present
needs. In the event that these arrangements are discontinued with any
manufacturer, the Company believes that substitute facilities can be found
without substantial adverse effect on manufacturing and distribution.

On February 27, 1996, the Registrant, through a wholly-owned operating
subsidiary, Kinbright, Inc. (an Alabama corporation), acquired certain assets of
Kinpak, Inc.,(a Georgia corporation) ("Kinpak"), and assumed two (2) leases of
land and facilities leased by Kinpak from the Industrial Development Board of
the city of Montgomery, Alabama and the Alabama State Docks Department. On
December 20, 1996, the registrant entered a new agreement with the Industrial
Development Board of the City of Montgomery, Alabama to issue new Industrial
Development Bonds in the amount of $4,990,000 to repay certain financing costs
and to expand the capacity of the Alabama facility. The leased premises consist
of a manufacturing and distribution facility containing approximately 110,000
square feet located on approximately 20 acres of real property and a docking
facility located on the Alabama River. In addition, Registrant purchased the
machinery, equipment and inventory located on the leased premises. Subsequent to
the acquisition, the Registrant changed the name of its subsidiary, Kinbright,
Inc. to Kinpak Inc. (an Alabama corporation). The Company started producing a
private label line of antifreeze and packaging products for the Registrant and
unrelated customers during 1997 at such facility.

Marketing: The Company's marine products and recreational vehicle products are
sold through national retail chains such as Wal-mart and K mart and through
specialized marine retailers such as West Marine and Boat America Corporation.
The Company also uses distributors who in turn sell its products to specialized
retail outlets for that specific market. Currently the Company has one customer
(West Marine, Inc.) to which sales exceed 10% of consolidated revenues. The
Company markets its products through internal salesmen and approximately 250
independent sales representatives who work on an independent
contractor-commission basis. The Officers of the Company also participate in
sales. The Company also aids marketing through advertising campaigns in national
magazines related to specific marketplaces. The products are distributed
primarily from the Company's manufacturing and distribution facility in Alabama.
As of this date, the Company has no significant backlog of orders. The
Registrant does not give customers the right to return product. The majority of
the Company's products are non-seasonal and are sold throughout the year.

Competition: The Company has two major and a number of smaller regional
competitors in the marine marketplace. The principal elements of competition are
brand recognition, price, service and the ability to deliver products on a
timely basis. In the opinion of management no one or few competitors holds a
dominant market share. Management believes that it can increase or maintain its
market share through its present methods of advertising and distribution.

The recreation vehicle appearance and maintenance market is parallel to that of
the marine market. In this market the Company competes with two major and a
number of smaller competitors none of which singly or as a few have a dominant
market share. Management is of the opinion that it can increase or maintain the
Company's market share by utilizing similar methods as those employed in the
marine market.

Personnel: The Company employs approximately 19 full time employees at its
corporate office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. These employees are engaged in
administration, clerical, and accounting functions. In addition, the Company
and/or its subsidiaries employ the following personnel:

New Product Development: The Company continues to develop specialized products
for the marine and recreational vehicle trade. During fiscal 2000, the
Registrant anticipates launching a line of automotive oils, fluids and related
products. The Company believes that its current operations and working capital
financing arrangement are sufficient to meet development expenditures without
securing external funding.

Item 2, Properties

The Registrant's executive offices and warehouse are located in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida and are held under a lease with an entity owned by officers of the
Company. The lease covers approximately 12,700 square feet of office and
warehouse space. On May 1, 1998, the Registrant entered into a new lease
agreement for a term of ten years. The lease calls for an initial annual rental
of $94,800 increasing by 2% per annum on the annual anniversary of the lease for
the term thereof. Additionally, the landlord is entitled to its pro-rata share
of all taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, operating charges, maintenance
charges and any other expenses which arise from ownership.

                                        4


<PAGE>




During November 1994, the Company leased an approximately 10,000 square foot
building in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for manufacturing, warehousing and office
space. Such lease terminates on October 31, 2000. The Company anticipates
renewing this lease on a short term basis while it considers alternative real
estate options. Rent charged to operations during the year ended December 31,
1999 amounted to approximately $96,000. .

The Montgomery, Alabama facility contains approximately 110,000 square feet of
office, plant and warehouse space located on 20 acres of land (the "Plant") and
also includes a leased 1.5 acre docking facility on the Alabama River located
eleven miles from the Plant. The Registrant financed the facility and its
improvements with an Industrial Revenue Bond in the amount of $4,990,000. At
December 31, 1999, approximately $285,200 was held in trust to pay for equipping
the addition to the facility.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

The Company from time to time, in the ordinary course of business, is named as a
defendant in law suits. In management's opinion, the potential impact of an
unfavorable outcome from such lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements contained herein as Item 14.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

The primary sources of the Registrant's liquidity are its operations and
short-term borrowings from a commercial bank. The Registrant's line of credit
aggregates $3.5 million, is due on demand, bears interest at prime less .25%,
and is secured by the Registrant's trade receivables, inventory, and other
assets. The Registrant is required to maintain a minimum working capital of $1.5
million and meet other financial covenants during the term of the agreement.

The Registrant obtained a letter of credit in order to market its Alabama
Industrial Revenue Bonds at favorable rates. Under such letter of credit
agreement the Company is required to maintain working capital of $1.5 million,
debt to tangible net worth of 2 to 1, and a debt service coverage of 1.1 times.
As of year end, the Registrant was in compliance with all such terms.

In connection with the purchase and expansion of the Alabama facility, the
Registrant closed on an Industrial Revenue Bond for the repayment of certain
advances used to purchase the Alabama facility and to expand such facility for
the Registrant's future needs. During March, 1997, the Registrant refinanced
$4,990,000 of such bonds of which approximately $285,200 was held in trust at
December 31, 1999 for equipping the expansion.

The bonds are marketed weekly at the prevailing rates for such instruments.
Currently such bonds carry interest between 5.25% to 5.75% annually. Interest
and principal are payable quarterly. The Registrant believes that current
operations are sufficient to meet these obligations.

The Registrant is involved in making sales in the Canadian market and must deal
with the currency fluctuations of the Canadian currency. The Registrant does not
engage in currency hedging and deals with such currency risk as a pricing issue.

During the past few years, the Registrant has introduced various new products to
the marketplace. This has required the Registrant to carry greater amounts of
overall inventory and has resulted in lower inventory turnover rates. The
effects of such inventory turnover have not been material to the overall
operations of the Registrant. The Registrant believes that all required capital
to maintain such increases can continue to be provided by operations and current
financing arrangements.

Year ended December 31, 1999:

Fourth Quarter Results:

Comparing the quarters ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, net sales increased
approximately $530,000 or 18% and similarly gross profit percentages improved
from 25.5% to 27.8%. These changes were consistent with those experienced for
the entire year; new products and increased private label sales and improved
utilization of the Company's manufacturing plant's capacity. Additionally, the
trend in Company's selling, general and administrative expenses were consistent
with those of the entire year. The pre-tax income (loss) amounts for the fourth
quarter of 1999 and 1998 were approximately $10,800 and ($101,000),
respectively.

Results of Operations:

Calendar year 1999/1998: Sales and earnings varied when comparing the year ended
December 31, 1999 to 1998 principally due to the factors enumerated below.

Net sales - Net sales increased 13% or approximately $1,612,000 comparing the
year ended December 31, 1999 with the 1998 period. This was primarily due to
increased sales of anti-freeze, private label product sales, and sales of
brushes and straps.

Cost of goods sold - Cost of goods sold decreased from 71% to 69% as a
percentage of net sales when comparing 1999 to 1998. This change was primarily
attributable to a differing product mix and improved utilization of the
Company's manufacturing plant's capacity.

Advertising and promotion - Advertising expense decreased approximately $141,200
or 20% when comparing 1999 to 1998. This was primarily due to planned decreases
in media advertising expenditures and lower customer co-op advertising.

Selling, general and administrative - Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased approximately $175,700 or 7% when comparing 1999 to 1998.
This change was attributable to increased personnel costs and normal
inflationary trends.

Interest expense - Interest expense incurred during 1999 increased by
approximately $47,800 or 13% over 1998. The increase was primarily due to
increased borrowings and interest rates.

Calendar year 1998/1997: - Sales and earnings varied when comparing the year
ended December 31, 1998 to 1997 principally due to the factors enumerated below.

Net sales - Net sales increased 9.5% or approximately $1,106,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1998 over the 1997 period. This was primarily due to
increased sales of anti-freeze, private label sales, and sales of brushes and
straps.

Cost of goods sold - Cost of goods sold decreased 0.6% as a percentage of gross
sales when comparing 1998 to 1997. This change is not significant.

Advertising and promotion - Advertising expense decreased approximately $114,000
or 14% when comparing 1998 to 1997. This was primarily due to decreased
expenditures in customer co-op advertising and magazine advertisement.

Selling, general and administrative - Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased approximately $50,000 or 1.9% when comparing 1998 to 1997.
This change is not significant.

approximately $61,000 or 14% over 1997. The decrease was primarily due to
lower interest rates and lower levels of debt outstanding on the Industrial
Revenue Bonds.

</TABLE>

*Includes options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock as follows:

On March 25, 1999, the Company granted Messrs. Dornau and Tieger a five
year option for 100,000 shares each at an exercise price of $.89 representing
the market price at the time of grant. Such grants were awarded in consideration
of their making a loan to the Company in the amount of $400,000 from an
affiliated company in which they are 50% co-shareholders.

Pursuant to the Company's various stock option plans, Mr. Dornau has options to
acquire 70,000 shares of the Company's common stock of which 21,000 shares are
exercisable within 60 days of the issuance of the Registrant's December 31, 1999

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

On May 1, 1998, the Company entered into a ten year lease for approximately
12,700 square feet of office and warehouse facilities in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida from an entity owned by officers of the Registrant. The lease requires a
minimum rental of $94,800 the first year increasing by 2% on the anniversary of
the lease throughout the term. Additionally, the landlord is entitled to its
pro-rata share of all taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, operating charges,
maintenance charges and any other expenses which arise from ownership. The
Registrant believes that the terms of this lease are comparable to those of
similar properties in the same geographic area of the Company available from
unrelated third parties.

The Registrant acquired the rights to the "Star brite" name and products only
for the United States and Canada in conjunction with its original public
offering during March, 1981. The President of the Registrant is the beneficial
owner of three companies which market Star brite products outside the United
States. The Registrant has advanced monies to assist in such foreign marketing
in order to establish an international trademark. As of December 31, 1999 and
1998 amounts owed to Registrant by these companies were approximately $737,800
and $ 691,000, respectively. These amounts have been advanced to such affiliates
with repayment requirements of between five and seven years bearing interest at
the rate charged to the Registrant pursuant to its line of credit. Sales to such
affiliates aggregated approximately $252,500 and $156,500 during the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

                                       11

A subsidiary of the Registrant currently uses the services of an entity which is

received $30,000 per year for the years 1999, 1998 and 1997 under such
relationship.

basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present

                      OCEAN BIO-CHEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997

Note 1 - Organization and summary of significant accounting policies:

Organization - The Company was organized during November, 1973 under the laws of
the state of Florida and operates as a manufacturer and distributor of products
to the recreational vehicle and marine aftermarkets. On October 11, 1984, the
Board of Directors approved a change in the corporate name to Ocean Bio-Chem,
Inc. (the parent company) from its former name, Star Brite Corporation.

Principles of consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Inventories - Inventories are primarily composed of raw materials and finished
goods and are stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out method,
or market.

Prepaid advertising and promotion - During the years ended December 31, 1999 and
1998, the Company introduced certain new products in the marine and recreational
vehicle aftermarket industries. In connection therewith, the Company produced
new promotional items to be distributed over a period of time and increased its
catalog advertising. The Company follows the policy of amortizing these costs
over a one year basis. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the accumulated cost of
materials on hand and other deferred promotional costs which will be charged
against the subsequent year's operations amounted approximately to $41,000 and
$29,000, respectively.

Property, plant and equipment - Property, plant and equipment are stated at
cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets using the straight-line method.

On February 27, 1996, the Registrant purchased the assets of Kinpak, Inc., a
subsidiary of Kinark, Inc. The plant currently consists of a manufacturing and
distribution facility of approximately 110,000 square feet on approximately 20
acres in Montgomery, Alabama. The facility has filling and blow-molding
capacity. The cost of the facility was $1,850,000 including an assumption of
debt of $990,000. During October, 1997, the Company completed an addition to the
Alabama facility at a cost of $1.7 million to be utilized as a distribution
center.

Stock based compensation - The Company follows the rules of APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, to record compensation costs. Opinion
No. 25 requires that compensation cost be based on the difference, if any,
between the quoted market price of the stock and the price the employee must
pay to acquire the stock depending on the terms of the award. The Company has
not adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 to record such
compensation costs. Statement No. 123 requires accounting for such cost at fair
value using an option pricing model such as the Black-Scholes or a bimodal
distribution.

Use of estimates -The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

                                        7



<PAGE>






Concentration of credit risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts
receivable. Concentrations of credit with respect to accounts receivable are
limited because the majority of the accounts receivable are with large retail
customers. The single largest customer's receivable represents approximately 11%
of the consolidated balance.

As of December 31, 1999, the Company had funds aggregating approximately
$275,000 on deposit at a financial institution in excess of underlying
governmental insurance protection.

Fair Value of financial instruments - The carrying amount of cash approximates
its fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates at
which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities, and the
carrying amount approximates fair value.

Income taxes - The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated income tax
returns. The Company has adopted application Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The
only temporary differences included therein are attributable to differing
methods of reflecting depreciation for financial statement and income tax
purposes.


Trademarks, trade names and patents - The Star brite trade name and trademark
were purchased in 1980 for $880,000. The cost of trademarks and trade names is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 40 years. The
Company has two patents which it believes are valuable in limited product lines,
but not material to its success or competitiveness in general. There are no
capitalized costs for these two patents. The Company's trade name has been
trademarked and there have been no incidents of infringement.

Translation of Canadian currency - The accounts of the Company's Canadian
subsidiary are translated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 52, which requires that foreign currency assets and liabilities be
translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Results
of operations are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing
throughout the period. The effects of unrealized exchange rate fluctuations on
translating foreign currency assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars are
accumulated as the cumulative translation adjustment in shareholders' equity.
Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net
earnings for the period. Fluctuations arising from inter-company transactions
that are of a long term in nature are accumulated as cumulative translation
adjustments.

Reclassifications - Certain items in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 have been reclassified
to conform with the 1999 presentation.

On February 27, 1996, the Company purchased the assets of Kinpak, Inc. a
subsidiary of Kinark, Inc. In order to meet the Company's future needs, it
entered into an agreement with the City of Montgomery to issue Industrial
Revenue Bonds to cover an expansion of the Alabama facility (see Note 4). The
expansion consisted of an additional building, which was completed during
October, 1997, bringing the current facility to approximately 110,000 square
feet. Such facility serves as a manufacturing and distribution center.
Obligations for future payments attributable to this capitalized lease are
discussed in Note 4.

Note 3 - Note payable, bank:

During 1999, the Company secured a revolving line of credit with a credit limit
of $3.5 million from a commercial bank. Such financing is due on demand and
carries an annual interest rate of prime less .25%. Pursuant to this agreement,
the Company is required to maintain minimum working capital of $1.5 million, a
ratio of debt to tangible net worth of at least 2.5:1, and debt coverage ratio
of at least 1.15 times. The line is collateralized by the Company's inventory,
trade receivables, equipment and other assets. As of December 31, 1999, the
Company was obligated under this arrangement for $2,900,000 and was in
compliance with the applicable loan covenants.

Note 6 - Litigation:

The Company from time to time, in the ordinary course of business, is named as a
defendant in lawsuits. In management's opinion, the ultimate liability, if any,
from such lawsuits is not considered to be material to the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.

Note 7 - Related party transactions:

At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had amounts due from affiliated
companies which are directly or beneficially owned by the Company's president
aggregating approximately $847,000 and $870,000, respectively. Such advances
were made primarily to international affiliates that are in the process of
expanding sales of the Company's products in Europe, Asia and South America.
These amounts have been advanced by the Company on open account with
requirements of repayment between five and seven years. $80,000 of such advances
were repaid during February, 2000. Advances and inter-company charges bear
interest at the rate of interest charged to the Company on its line of credit.
Sales of Company products to such affiliates aggregated approximately $252,500
and $156,500 during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Note 8 - Commitments:

On May 1, 1998, the Company entered into a ten year lease for
approximately 12,700 square feet of office and warehouse facilities in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida from an entity owned by certain officers of the Company. The
lease required a minimum rental of $94,800 for the first year increasing by 2%
on the anniversary of the lease throughout the term. Additionally, the landlord
is entitled to its pro-rata share of all taxes, assessments, insurance premiums,
operating charges, maintenance charges and any other expenses which arise from
ownership. Rent charged to operations during the year ended December 31, 1999
amounted to approximately $94,800.

The Company has entered into a corporate guaranty of the mortgage note
obligations of such affiliate. The obligations are primarily secured by the real
estate leased to the Company.

In November, 1994, the Company leased an approximately 10,000 square foot
building in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for manufacturing, warehousing and office
space. Such lease terminates on October 31, 2000. Rent charged to operations
under this lease during the year ended December 31, 1999 amounted to
approximately $ 96,000.

Under the three option plans adopted by the Company, at the discretion of the
Board of Directors, grants are given to selected executives and other key
employees. Options typically have a five year life with vesting occurring at 20%
per year on a cumulative basis with forfeiture at the end of the option, if not
exercised.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model with the following assumptions for 1999, 1998 and 1997: risk free
rate 6.5%, no dividend yield for all years, expected life of five years and
volatility of 31.6%.

Note 11 - Major customer:

The Company has one major customer, West Marine, Inc., with sales in excess of
10% of consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999. Sales to
this customer represent approximately 16%. The Company enjoys good relations
with this customer. However, the loss of this customer could have an adverse
impact on the Company's operations.

Note 12 - Earnings per share:

Basic earnings per common share for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998
and 1997 were calculated on the basis of 3,796,764, 3,753,017 and 3,708,053
weighted average common shares outstanding, respectively pursuant to the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128. Fully
diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 1999 were
calculated on the basis of 3,869,491 shares. Diluted earnings (loss)
per share were not computed for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 as
the effect of any common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.
Common stock equivalents consist of stock options.
