Ocean Bio-Chem President and CEO Peter Dornau stated, "I am extremely pleased with the financial results of the Company for both the second quarter and six month period. Despite the many negative economic factors, the Company reported record sales for both the quarter and six month periods. The Company's earnings per share before taxes (both basic and diluted) for the second quarter were $0.04 compared to no earnings per share before taxes for the comparative quarter 2008. For the six month period ending June 30, 2009, earnings per share before taxes (both basic and diluted) were $.07 compared to a loss of $0.04 per share for the comparative prior years six month period. Due to the high taxable income and resulting high tax provision, we feel the earnings per share after taxes do not demonstrate the operating and financial strength and success of the Company. We therefore will report earnings per share -- before taxes on a consistent, ongoing basis." Mr. Dornau continued, "We are seeing signs of recovery in the boating industry. We believe as the boating industry picks up and more people use their boats, the Company will continue to be the benefactor of increased sales, and market share. As part of the Company's overall strategic Marketing Plan, the Company is continuing to invest in advertising, customer and consumer promotions, and building brand awareness. Increasing brand awareness, we believe, will continue to make Starbrite(R) and StarTron(R) products the consumers' number one choice of products. Our sales and marketing efforts are focused on increasing sales both in our core marine market as well as outside of our core market into automobile after market, recreational vehicles, hardware/lawn & garden/small engines, and motorcycles markets being lead by StarTron(R). As we enter the second half of the year, I am cautiously optimistic that we could report record pretax profits for the full year."
