MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.          In January 2000, the Board of Directors of RPC, Inc. (“RPC”) announced that it planned to spin off to RPC stockholders the business conducted through Chaparral Boats, Inc. (“Chaparral”), RPC’s Powerboat Manufacturing Segment (the “spin-off”).  RPC’s Board of Directors subsequently approved the spin-off on February 12, 2001.  RPC accomplished the spin-off on February 28, 2001 by contributing 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Chaparral to Marine Products Corporation (a Delaware corporation) (“Marine Products”), a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of RPC,  and then distributing the common stock of Marine Products to RPC stockholders.  RPC stockholders received 0.6 share of Marine Products Common Stock for each share of RPC Common Stock owned as of the record date.  Based on an Internal Revenue Service Private Letter ruling, subject to certain assumptions, the spin-off will be tax-free to RPC and RPC’s stockholders,   except for cash received for any fractional shares.  Immediately after the spin-off was completed, RPC owned no shares of Marine Products Common Stock, and Marine Products became an independent public company.  A total of 17,012,277 shares of Marine Products Common Stock were distributed in connection with the spin-off.  As part of the spin-off, RPC transferred $13.8 million in cash and marketable securities to Marine Products Corporation.  Also as part of the spin-off, a $53.6 million receivable from RPC was cancelled.

2.          GENERAL

             The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.

             In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2001, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, and the cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.

             The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3.          EARNINGS PER SHARE

             Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the respective pro forma weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods.

4.          RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

             Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.  It requires entities to recognize all instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.  As amended, the adoption of SFAS No. 133, effective for the Company as of January 1, 2001, did not impact the results of operations or financial condition of the Company as the Company is not a party to any derivative transactions that fall under the provisions of this statement.

5.          BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

As the Company has only one reportable segment – its power boat manufacturing business – the majority of the disclosures required by SFAS No. 131 do not apply to the Company.  In addition, the Company’s results of operations and its financial condition are not significantly reliant upon any single customer or the Company’s foreign operations.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000

Net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2001, decreased $1,567,000 or 4% to $36,318,000 compared with $37,885,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.  The decline in net sales was due to a decrease in the number of boats sold, as the company shifted production to larger boats, partially offset by an increase in the average sales price per boat.

Cost of goods sold for the first quarter ended March 31, 2001 was $27,833,000 compared to $29,499,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $1,666,000 or 6%.  Cost of goods sold, as a percent of net sales, decreased from 78% in 2000 to 77% in 2001.  The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was due to a favorable model mix as compared to the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter ended March 31, 2001 were $4,626,000 compared to $4,467,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000, an increase of  $159,000 or 4%. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales increased from 12 percent in 2000 to 13 percent in 2001.

Operating profit for the first quarter ended March 31, 2001 was $3,859,000, a decrease of $60,000 compared to an operating profit of $3,919,000 in 2000.

Interest income was $116,000 in the first quarter of 2001 compared to $59,000 in the first quarter of 2000.   As part of the spin-off from RPC, Inc., Marine Products received $13.8 million in cash.  Marine Products generates interest income from investment of its available cash primarily in marketable securities.

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, was $2,465,000 or $0.14 pro forma diluted earnings per share compared to net income of $6,696,000 or $0.39 pro forma diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.  In the first quarter of 2000, Marine Products recorded a pre-tax gain of $6,817,000 ($4,227,000 after-tax), or $0.25 after-tax diluted earnings per share related to settlement of a claim.  Net income excluding the gain would have been approximately $2,469,000 or $0.14 diluted earnings per share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $1,127,000 compared to $7,441,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, a $6,314,000 or 85% decrease.  Included in the $7,441,000 balance at March 31, 2000 was a $4,227,000 after tax gain on settlement of a claim.

Cash used for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $547,000 compared to $1,845,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2000, a $1,298,000 or 70% decrease.  The decrease relates primarily to lower capital expenditures.  See footnote 1 to the consolidated financial statements where the transfer of cash and marketable securities from RPC, Inc. to the company in connection with the spin-off is discussed.

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was  $614,000 compared to cash used for financing activities of $8,263,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2000, a $8,877,000 decrease.   These cash flows relate to the changes in accounts receivable owed to the company by RPC, Inc, during the respective periods.  See footnote 1 to consolidated financial statements where the elimination of the Receivable from RPC, Inc in connection with the spin-off is discussed.

Funding for future liquidity and capital resource requirements is expected to be provided from cash generated from operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Marine Products Corporation maintains an investment portfolio, comprised of U.S. Government and corporate debt securities, which is subject to interest rate risk exposure. This risk is managed through conservative policies to invest in high-quality obligations.  Marine Products Corporation has performed an interest rate sensitivity analysis using a duration model over the near term with a 10 percent change in interest rates. Marine Products Corporation’s portfolio is not subject to material interest rate risk exposure based on this analysis.   Marine Products Corporation does not expect any material changes in market risk exposures or how those risks are managed.
