No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory.
The amendments require an entity
to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs.
The amendments eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The Company adopted these
provisions in the first quarter of 2018, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.
The amendments are intended to help
companies and other organizations evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets
or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and
consolidation. The amendments provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business.
The Company adopted these provisions in the first quarter of 2018 and will apply these provisions as it completes future acquisitions.
The Company does not expect the adoption of these provisions to have an ongoing material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.

No. 2017-09 —Compensation —Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.
The provisions are
applicable when there are changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments require an entity
to apply modification accounting for the effects of changes to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award unless
certain conditions including fair value, vesting conditions and classification are met. The Company adopted these provisions in
the first quarter of 2018 and will apply these provisions if changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award
are made. The Company does not expect the adoption of these provisions to have an ongoing material impact on its consolidated

ASU
No. 2016-02 —Leases (Topic 842).
Under this guidance, lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease
liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease), at the commencement
of the lease term. The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability,
subject to certain adjustments, including initial direct costs and lessor provided incentives. As part of its preparation to adopt
the standard, the Company has established an initial project governance framework, selected a working group and hired a third
party service provider to assist with the implementation. The Company plans to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of
2019 and
currently does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the recognition, measurement
or presentation of lease expenses on its financial statements.

ASU
No. 2018-11 —Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.
The amendments provide entities with an additional (and optional)
transition method to adopt the new leases standard by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained
earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, an entity’s reporting for the comparative periods presented in the financial
statements in which it adopts the new leases standard will continue to be in accordance with current GAAP in Topic 840, Leases.
The Company plans to use the optional transition method to adopt ASC 842 in the first quarter of 2019.

No. 2017-08 —Receivables —Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased
Callable Debt Securities.
The amendments shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium
and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. However, the amendments do not require an accounting change
for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments are effective starting in
the first quarter of 2019 with early application permitted. The amendments are to be applied on a modified retrospective basis
through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The entity
is required to provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle in the period of adoption. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of adopting these provisions on its consolidated financial statements.

No. 2017-04 —Intangibles —Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.
To simplify
the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim,
goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment
charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however,
the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments are effective
for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning in 2020 applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted
for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of adopting these provisions on its consolidated financial statements.

for the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement and align the requirements for capitalizing
implementation costs that are incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the costs incurred to develop
or obtain internal-use software. The provisions may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The amendments are effective

Accounting Policy:
MPC’s contract revenues are generated principally
from selling: (1) fiberglass motorized boats and accessories and (2) parts to independent dealers. Revenue is recognized when obligations
under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. Satisfaction of contract terms occur with the transfer of title
of our boats, accessories, and parts to our dealers. Net sale is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in
exchange for transferring the goods to the dealer. The amount of consideration we expect to receive consists of the sales price
adjusted for dealer incentives. The expected costs associated with our base warranties continue to be recognized as expense when
the products are sold as they are deemed to be assurance-type warranties (see Note 7). Incidental promotional items that are immaterial
in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. Fees charged to customers for shipping and handling are included in net
sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and the related costs incurred by the Company are included in cost
of goods sold.
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Nature of goods:
MPC’s performance obligations within its contracts
consists of: (1) boats and accessories and (2) parts. The Company transfers control and recognizes revenue on the satisfaction
of its performance obligations (point in time) as follows:
|
·
|
Boats
and accessories (domestic sales) – upon delivery and acceptance by the dealer
|
|
·
|
Boats
and accessories (international sales) – upon delivery to shipping port
|
|
·
|
Parts
– upon shipment/delivery to carrier
|
Payment terms:
For most domestic customers, MPC manufactures and delivers
boats and accessories and parts ahead of payment - i.e., MPC has fulfilled its performance obligations prior to submitting an invoice
to the dealer. MPC invoices the customer when the products are delivered and receives the related compensation, typically within
seven to ten business days after invoicing. For some domestic customers and all international customers, MPC requires payment prior
to transferring control of the goods. These amounts are classified as deferred revenue and recognized when control has transferred,
which generally occurs within three months of receiving the payment.
When the Company enters into contracts with
its customers, it generally expects there to be no significant timing difference between the date the goods have been delivered
to the customer (satisfaction of the performance obligation) and the date cash consideration is received. Accordingly, there is
no financing component to the Company’s arrangements with its customers.
Significant judgments:
Determining the transaction
price
The transaction price for MPC’s
boats and accessories is the invoice price adjusted for dealer incentives. The Company utilizes the expected value method to estimate
the variable consideration related to dealer incentives. Key inputs and assumptions in determining variable consideration includes:
|
·
|
Inputs:
Current model year boat sales, total potential program incentive percentage, prior model year results of dealer incentive activity
(i.e. incentive earned as a percentage of total incentive potential)
|
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
|
·
|
Assumption:
Current model year incentive activity will closely reflect prior model year actual results, adjusted as necessary for dealer purchasing
trends or economic factors
|
Other:
Our contracts with dealers do not
provide them with a right of return. Accordingly, we do not have any obligations recorded for returns or refunds.

Basic and diluted earnings per share
are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods. In addition,
the Company has periodically issued share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are therefore
considered participating securities. The following table shows the restricted shares of common stock (participating securities)

Marine Products’ marketable securities are held
with a large, well-capitalized financial institution. Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at
the time of purchase and reevaluates such designations as of each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale
because the Company does not have the intent to hold the securities to maturity. Available-for-sale debt securities are stated
at their fair values, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders’
equity. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses, declines in value
judged to be other than temporary, interest and dividends on available-for-sale debt securities are included in interest income.

WARRANTY COSTS AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES
|
Warranty Costs:
For our Chaparral and Robalo products, Marine Products
provides a lifetime limited structural hull warranty, a five-year limited structural deck warranty, and a transferable one-year
limited warranty to the original owner. Warranties for additional items are provided for periods of one to five years and are not
transferrable. Additionally, as it relates to the third subsequent owner, a five-year transferrable hull warranty and the remainder
of the original one-year limited warranty on certain components are available. The five-year transferable hull warranty terminates
five years after the date of the original retail purchase. Claim costs related to components are generally absorbed by the original
component manufacturer.
The manufacturers of the engines, generators, and navigation
electronics included on our boats provide and administer their own warranties for various lengths of time.
An analysis of the warranty accruals for the nine months
ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:

Repurchase Obligations:
The Company is a party to various agreements with third
party lenders that provide floor plan financing to qualifying dealers whereby the Company guarantees varying amounts of debt on
boats in dealer inventory. The Company’s obligation under these guarantees becomes effective in the case of a default under
the financing arrangement between the dealer and the third party lender. The agreements provide for the return of repossessed boats
to the Company in new and unused condition subject to normal wear and tear as defined, in exchange for the Company’s assumption
of specified percentages of the debt obligation on those boats, up to certain contractually determined dollar limits by the lenders.
The Company had no material repurchases of inventory under contractual agreements during the nine months ended September 30, 2018
and September 30, 2017.
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management continues to monitor the risk of defaults and
resulting repurchase obligations based in part on information provided by third-party floor plan lenders and will adjust the guarantee
liability at the end of each reporting period based on information reasonably available at that time.
The Company currently has an agreement with one of the
floor plan lenders whereby the contractual repurchase limit is 16 percent of the amount of the average net receivables financed
by the floor plan lender for our dealers during the prior 12 month period, which was $14.4 million as of September 30, 2018. The
Company has contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of approximately
$5.7 million with various expiration and cancellation terms of less than one year, for an aggregate repurchase obligation with
all floor plan financing institutions of approximately 20.1 million as of September 30, 2018.

The Company determines its periodic income tax provision
based upon the current period income and the annual estimated tax rate for the Company adjusted for discrete items including tax
credits and changes to prior year estimates. The estimated tax rate is revised, if necessary, as of the end of each successive
interim period during the fiscal year to the Company's current annual estimated tax rate.
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Income tax provision for the third quarter of 2018 reflects
an effective tax rate of 22.9 percent, compared to an effective tax rate of 32.4 percent for the comparable period in the prior
year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the effective tax rate reflects an income tax provision of 19.7 percent compared
to 29.1 percent for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the corporate
income tax rate reduction from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) enacted in the fourth quarter of 2017 to be effective January
1, 2018. The effective tax rate in both periods includes the effect of beneficial permanent differences including tax-exempt interest
income and beneficial discrete adjustments related to stock-based compensation awarded to employees.
As part of implementation of the provisions of the Act,
the Company recorded adjustments relating to changes in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities during the fourth quarter
ended December 31, 2017. The Company filed its 2017 Federal income tax return in the second quarter of 2018; accordingly, all items
related to 2017 are substantially complete.
The Company continues to analyze information related to
its accounting for the income tax effects of the Act as it pertains to the 2018 deduction for executive compensation, including
the impact for compensation that is paid pursuant to a binding contract that would have been deductible under the prior tax regulations.
Based on our current interpretation of the transition rules, we believe the Company will be able to deduct executive compensation
related to these plans.
As additional guidance and clarifications are provided
under the transition rules, we will make appropriate changes in our analysis within the measurement period as provided in SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 118.

The Company made contributions to this plan of $770 thousand
during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
The Company permits selected highly compensated employees
to defer a portion of their compensation into a non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The
Company maintains certain securities in the SERP that have been classified as trading. The SERP assets are stated at fair value
and totaled approximately $6,264,000 as of September 30, 2018 and $6,031,000 as of December 31, 2017. The SERP assets are reported
in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets and changes to the fair value of the assets are reported in selling,
general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Trading gains related to the SERP assets totaled approximately $211,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to trading gains of approximately $300,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2017.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
|
The various inputs used to measure assets at fair value
establish a hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s assumptions
(unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three broad levels as follows:
1. Level 1 –
Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
2. Level
2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments
in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in
the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

3. Level 3 –
Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants
would use.

On October 23, 2018, the Board of Directors
approved a $0.10 per share cash dividend in addition to a special cash dividend of $0.10 per share both payable December 10,
2018 to stockholders of record at the close of business November 9, 2018.
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Marine Products Corporation, through our wholly
owned subsidiaries Chaparral and Robalo, is a leading manufacturer of recreational fiberglass powerboats. Our sales and profits
are generated by selling the products that we manufacture to a network of independent dealers who in turn sell the products to
retail customers. These dealers are located throughout the continental United States and in several international markets. Many
of these dealers finance their inventory through third-party floorplan lenders, who pay Marine Products generally within twelve
days after delivery of the products to the dealers.
The discussion on business and financial strategies
of the Company set forth under the heading “Overview” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2017 is incorporated herein by reference. There have been no significant changes in the strategies since
year-end.
In executing these strategies and attempting
to optimize our financial returns, management closely monitors dealer orders and inventories, the production mix of various models,
and indications of near term demand such as consumer confidence, interest rates, dealer orders placed at our annual dealer conferences,
and retail attendance and orders at annual winter boat show exhibitions. We also consider trends related to certain key financial
and other data, including our historical and forecasted financial results, market share, unit sales of our products, average selling
price per boat, and gross profit margins, among others, as indicators of the success of our strategies. Our financial results are
affected by consumer confidence — because pleasure boating is a discretionary expenditure, interest rates — because
many retail customers finance the purchase of their boats, and other socioeconomic and environmental factors such as availability
of leisure time, consumer preferences, demographics and the weather.
Our net sales were higher during the third
quarter of 2018 compared to the third quarter of 2017 primarily due to an increase in average selling prices coupled with an increase
in unit sales as well as an increase in accessory sales.
Operating income increased 37.8 percent during
the third quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher
selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher incentive
compensation consistent with improved operating results. Dealer inventory in units as of September 30, 2018 was lower than at the
end of the second quarter of 2018 but slightly higher than at the end of the third quarter of 2017.
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
OUTLOOK
The discussion of the outlook for 2018 is incorporated
herein by reference from the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.
We believe that recreational boating retail
demand in many segments of the industry continue to be favorable. The 2018 retail selling season was strong, as the U.S. domestic
economy grew, unemployment fell, and consumer confidence grew. A potential impediment to improving boat sales, however, is the
increase in market interest rates. Since most consumers finance their boat purchases, higher interest rates increase the cost of
boat ownership.
Although industry wide retail boat sales remain
lower than they were prior to the 2008 financial crisis, retail boat sales have increased each year since 2011. We believe retail
boat sales will continue to improve due to a growing U.S. economy. However, retaliatory tariffs recently imposed on U.S. manufactured
products by countries such as Canada, Mexico and the European Union in response to U.S. tariffs on imported steel and aluminum
from those countries could weaken international sales during the near term. Fluctuations in fuel prices can impact our industry,
although they have been relatively stable in 2018 and we do not believe that they have recently impacted sales. In general, the
overall cost of boat ownership has increased, especially in the sterndrive recreational boat market segment, which comprises approximately
37 percent of the Company’s unit sales for the last three months. The higher cost of boat ownership discourages consumers
from purchasing recreational boats. For a number of years, Marine Products, as well as other boat manufacturers have been improving
their customer service capabilities, marketing strategies and sales promotions in order to attract more consumers to recreational
boating as well as improve consumers’ boating experiences. The Company provides financial incentives to its dealers for receiving
favorable customer satisfaction surveys. In addition, the recreational boating industry conducts a promotional program which involves
advertising and consumer targeting efforts, as well as other activities designed to increase the potential consumer market for
pleasure boats. Many manufacturers, including Marine Products, participate in this program. Management believes that these efforts
have incrementally benefited the industry and Marine Products. As in past years, Marine Products enhanced its selection of models
for the 2019 model year which began on July 1, 2018. We continue to emphasize the larger Chaparral and Robalo models, as well as
the Surf Series, a line of Chaparral models first introduced for the 2017 model year. In addition, we are experiencing a favorable
consumer reception to our Chaparral H2O outboard boats. We believe that these boat models will expand our customer base, and leverage
our strong dealer network and reputation for quality and styling. During 2018, we expanded our nationally advertised fixed retail
pricing to include more of our models. We plan to continue to develop and produce additional new products for subsequent model
years. Marine Products has benefited from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) enacted during the fourth quarter
of 2017. We estimate that our annual effective tax rate for 2018 will be in the low 20 percent range compared to 35.6 percent for
2017. Since Marine Products believes that it will generate continued positive financial results, the Company will benefit from
this lower income tax rate through increased net earnings in 2018.
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Our financial results for the full year of
2018 will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited, to interest rates, consumer confidence, the availability of
credit to our dealers and consumers, fuel prices, retaliatory tariffs imposed on the export of our products to countries on which
the U.S. has imposed tariffs, the continued acceptance of our new products in the recreational boating market, our ability to compete
in the competitive pleasure boating industry, and the costs of labor and certain of our raw materials and key components.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 COMPARED
TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
Net sales
for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased
$12.8 million or 21.6 percent compared to the same period in 2017. The change in net sales during the quarter compared to the prior
year was due primarily to a 12.6 percent increase in the average selling price per boat coupled with a 7.9 percent increase in
the number of units sold. The increase in the average selling price per boat is primarily due to a model mix which included larger
boats, such as our larger Chaparral 277 and 347 SSX models, as well as several of our larger Robalo models. The increase in unit
sales was due to an increase in Robalo sales coupled with an increase in SSX sales, partially offset by a decrease in unit sales
of our Vortex jet boats. In the third quarter of 2018, net sales outside of the United States accounted for 3.1 percent of net
sales compared to 6.1 percent of net sales in the third quarter of 2017. This decrease is primarily due to the recently imposed
tariffs on boat imports by Canada, Mexico and the European Union, coupled with the strong U.S. dollar. Domestic net sales increased
25.5 percent to $69.8 million and international sales decreased 37.9 percent to $2.2 million compared to the third quarter of the
prior year.
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Cost of goods sold
for the three months
ended September 30, 2018 was $55.8 million compared to $45.7 million for the comparable period in 2017, an increase of $10.1 million
or 22.1 percent. Cost of goods sold increased slightly to 77.5 percent of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2018
from 77.3 percent of net sales for the comparable period in 2017, primarily due to increased labor cost, partially offset by a
favorable model mix.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were $7.0 million compared to $6.8 million for the comparable period in 2017, an
increase of $0.2 million or 3.0 percent. This increase was primarily due to higher incentive compensation consistent with improved
operating results. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 9.7 percent in the third
quarter of 2018 from 11.5 percent in the third quarter of 2017 primarily due to the relatively fixed nature of a majority of these
expenses during the short term.
Operating income
for the three months ended
September 30, 2018 increased $2.5 million or 37.8 percent compared to the same period in 2017 due to higher gross profit, partially
offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses due to the leverage of higher net sales over fixed expenses.
Interest income
was $102 thousand during
the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $81 thousand for the comparable period in 2017.
Income tax provision
for the third quarter
of 2018 reflects an effective tax rate of 22.9 percent, compared to an effective tax rate of 32.4 percent for the comparable period
in the prior year. The decrease in effective rate is primarily due to the corporate income tax rate reduction from the recently
enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The effective rate in both periods includes the effect of beneficial permanent differences including
tax-exempt interest income and discrete adjustments related to stock-based compensation awarded to employees and liabilities related
to state income taxes.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 COMPARED
TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
Net sales
for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased
$34.8 million or 17.3 percent compared to the same period in 2017. The change in net sales during the year compared to the prior
year was due primarily to a 9.9 percent increase in the average selling price per boat coupled with a 6.6 percent increase in the
number of units sold. The increase in average selling price per boat was due to a model mix which included larger boats, coupled
with sales of our new Surf Series models. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net sales outside of the United States
accounted for 7.4 percent of net sales compared to 6.2 percent of net sales during the comparable period of 2017. Domestic net
sales increased 15.8 percent to $219.1 million and international sales increased 39.8 percent to $17.5 million compared to the
first nine months of the prior year.
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Cost of goods sold
for the nine months
ended September 30, 2018 was $183.2 million compared to $157.1 million for the comparable period in 2017, an increase of $26.1
million or 16.7 percent. Cost of goods sold decreased to 77.5 percent of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2018
from 77.9 percent of net sales for the comparable period in 2017, primarily due to model mix.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $23.9 million compared to $22.4 million for the comparable period in 2017, an
increase of $1.5 million or 7.0 percent. This increase was primarily due to expenses that vary with sales and profitability, such
as incentive compensation, commissions and warranty costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales decreased slightly to 10.1 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from 11.1 percent for the comparable period
in 2017.
Operating income
for the nine months ended
September 30, 2018 increased $7.1 million or 31.8 percent compared to the same period in 2017 due to higher gross profit, partially
offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.
Interest income
was $220 thousand during
the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $189 thousand for the comparable period in 2017.
Income tax provision
for the first nine
months of 2018 reflects an effective tax rate of 19.7 percent, compared to an effective tax rate of 29.1 percent for the comparable
period in the prior year. The decrease in effective rate is primarily due to the corporate income tax rate reduction from the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act. The effective rate in both periods includes the effect of beneficial permanent differences including tax-exempt
interest income and beneficial discrete adjustments related to stock-based compensation awarded to employees.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2018 decreased $236 thousand compared to the comparable period in 2017. This decrease is primarily due to an unfavorable
change in working capital, as described in more detail below, partially offset by an increase in net income.
The major components of the net unfavorable change in
working capital were as follows: an unfavorable change of $12.9 million in inventories primarily due to buy-ahead engine
purchases coupled with the timing of shipments of finished boats; and a $3.7 million favorable change in accounts payable,
due primarily to timing of payments.
Cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended September
30, 2018 was approximately $5.2 million compared to $5.9 million used for investing activities for the same period in 2017. The
decrease in cash used for investing activities is primarily due to decreased net purchases of marketable securities in the current
period, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures.
Cash used for financing activities for the nine months ended September
30, 2018 increased approximately $3.5 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to a 42.9 percent
increase in the quarterly common stock dividend paid, coupled with an increase in open market share repurchases in 2018.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
The Company believes that the liquidity provided by existing cash,
cash equivalents and marketable securities, its overall strong capitalization and cash generated by operations will provide sufficient
capital to meet the Company’s requirements for at least the next twelve months. The Company’s decisions about the amount
of cash to be used for investing and financing purposes are influenced by its capital position and the expected amount of cash
to be provided by operations.
Cash Requirements
The Company currently expects that capital expenditures during 2018
will be approximately $3.0 million, of which $1.9 million has been spent through September 30, 2018.
The Company participates in a multiple employer Retirement Income
Plan, sponsored by RPC, Inc. (“RPC”). The Company made a cash contribution of $770 thousand to this plan in the second
quarter of 2018, and does not expect to make any additional contributions for the remainder of 2018.
As of September 30, 2018, the Company has repurchased a total of
5,909,717 shares in the open market under the Company stock repurchase program, which began in 2002. There are 2,340,283 shares
that remain available for repurchase under the current authorization. There were 172,769 shares repurchased under this program
during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
On October 23, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a $0.10
per share cash dividend in addition to a special cash dividend of $0.10 per share both payable December 10, 2018 to
stockholders of record at the close of business November 9, 2018. The Company expects to continue to pay cash dividends to
common stockholders, subject to the earnings and financial condition of the Company and other relevant factors.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
To assist dealers in obtaining financing for the purchase of its
boats for inventory, the Company has entered into agreements with various third-party floor plan lenders whereby the Company guarantees
varying amounts of debt for qualifying dealers on boats in inventory. The Company’s obligation under these guarantees becomes
effective in the case of a default under the financing arrangement between the dealer and the third-party lender. The agreements
provide for the return of all repossessed boats to the Company in a new and unused condition as defined, in exchange for the Company’s
assumption of specified percentages of the debt obligation on those boats, up to certain contractually determined dollar limits
which vary by lender. The Company had no material repurchases of inventory under contractual agreements during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017.
Management continues to monitor the risk of defaults and resulting
repurchase obligations based in part on information provided by the third-party floor plan lenders and will adjust the guarantee
liability at the end of each reporting period based on information reasonably available at that time.
The Company currently has an agreement with one of the floor plan
lenders whereby the contractual repurchase limit is 16 percent of the amount of the average net receivables financed by the floor
plan lender for our dealers during the prior 12 month period, which was $14.4 million as of September 30, 2018. The Company has
contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of approximately $5.7
million with various expiration and cancellation terms of less than one year, for an aggregate repurchase obligation with all financing
institutions of approximately $20.1 million as of September 30, 2018.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In conjunction with its spin-off from RPC in 2001, the Company and
RPC entered into various agreements that define their relationship after the spin-off. RPC charged the Company for its allocable
share of administrative costs incurred for services rendered on behalf of Marine Products totaling approximately $667 thousand
for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and approximately $630 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The discussion of Critical Accounting Policies is incorporated herein
by reference from the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. There have been no
significant changes in the critical accounting policies since year-end.
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial
Statements for a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and expected effects
on results of operations and financial condition, if known.
SEASONALITY
Marine Products’ quarterly operating results are affected
by weather and general economic conditions. Quarterly operating results for the third quarter have historically recorded the highest
sales volume for the year because this corresponds with the highest retail sales volume period. The results for any quarter are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in any future period.
INFLATION
The market prices of certain materials used
in manufacturing the Company’s products, especially resins that are made with hydrocarbon feedstocks, copper and steel, have
at certain periods been volatile. During 2017, the costs of several of these raw materials increased slightly. In addition, the
cost of certain components used in the manufacturing of the Company’s products has increased due to high demand, limited
supplier capacity as well as tariffs on steel, aluminum and other materials used in OEM parts. As a result, it is possible the
Company will incur higher materials purchase costs for the remainder of 2018. In addition, the Company is currently experiencing
shortages of skilled labor, which may lead to labor cost increases during the remainder of 2018. Higher materials prices and labor
costs would increase the costs of manufacturing the Company’s products, and could negatively affect our profit margins, due
to the competitive nature of the selling environment for recreational boats.
New boat buyers typically finance their purchases.
Higher inflation typically results in higher interest rates that could translate into an increased cost of boat ownership. During
the third quarter of 2018, there were indications that inflation in the general economy was beginning to increase, and general
market interest rates have increased as well. If these trends continue during 2018, prospective buyers may choose to forego or
delay their purchases or buy a less expensive boat in the event that interest rates rise or credit is not available to finance
their boat purchases.

belief that its liquidity, capitalization and cash expected to be generated from operations, will provide sufficient capital to
meet the Company’s requirements for at least the next twelve months; the Company’s expectation about contributions

“expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,”
“project,” “estimate,” and similar expressions used in this document that do not relate to historical facts
are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by our
management in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments
and other factors it believes to be appropriate. We caution you that such statements are only predictions and not guarantees of
future performance and that actual results, developments and business decisions may differ from those envisioned by the forward-looking
statements. Risk factors that could cause such future events not to occur as expected include the following: economic conditions,
unavailability of credit and possible decreases in the level of consumer confidence impacting discretionary spending; business
interruptions due to adverse weather conditions, increased interest rates, unanticipated changes in consumer demand and preferences,
deterioration in the quality of Marine Products’ network of independent boat dealers or availability of financing of their
inventory; our ability to insulate financial results against increasing commodity prices; the impact of rising gasoline prices
and a weak housing market on consumer demand for our products; competition from other boat manufacturers and dealers; potential
liabilities for personal injury or property damage claims relating to the use of our products; our ability to successfully identify
suitable acquisition candidates or strategic partners, obtain financing on satisfactory terms, complete acquisitions or strategic
alliances, integrate acquired operations into our existing operations, or expand into new markets; changes in various government
laws and regulations, including environmental regulations and recent U.S. Government action concerning tariffs on goods; the possibility
of retaliatory tariffs imposed on the export of our products to countries on which the U.S. has imposed tariffs; the existence
of certain anti-takeover provisions in our governance documents, which could make a tender offer, change in control or takeover
attempt that is opposed by Marine Products’ Board of Directors more difficult or expensive; and insurance companies that
insure a number of Marine Products’ marketable securities have been downgraded, which may cause volatility in the market
price of Marine Products’ marketable securities. Additional discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ
from management’s projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations is contained in Marine Products Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking
statements. forecasts, estimates and expectations is contained in Marine Products Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
