PART I

Item 1. Business

General:

We are principally engaged in the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of a broad line of appearance, performance, and maintenance products for the marine, automotive, power sports, recreational vehicle and outdoor power equipment markets, under the Star brite®, Star Tron®, and other trademarks within the United States of America and Canada. In addition, we produce private label formulations of many of our products for various customers and provide custom blending and packaging services for these and other products. Unless, the context indicates otherwise, we sometimes refer to Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries as “the Company," "we" or "our.”

Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. was incorporated in 1973 under the laws of the state of Florida. In 1981, we purchased, from Peter G. Dornau and Arthur Spector, the co-founders of the Company, rights to the Star brite® trademark and related products for the United States and Canada. Mr. Dornau, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, has retained rights to these assets with respect to all other geographic areas. Accordingly, products that we manufacture that are sold outside of the United States and Canada are purchased from us and distributed by two companies owned by Mr. Dornau. Net sales to the two companies in 2012 totaled approximately $1,487,000, or 4.8% of our net sales. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information.

On May 10, 2010, the Company announced the formation of OdorStar Technology LLC (“OdorStar”), a joint venture between the Company and BBL Distributors, LLC. OdorStar owns patents that relate to a formula and delivery system, for use with products containing chlorine dioxide, designed to safely prevent and eliminate all types of odors relating to mold, mildew, and other sources of unpleasant odors. The Company and BBL Distributors LLC share equally in profits or losses from OdorStar. Because the Company manages OdorStar, it has consolidated OdorStar in its financial statements.

Products:

The products that we manufacture and market include the following:

Marine: Our marine line consists of polishes, cleaners, protectants and waxes under the Star brite® brand name, enzyme fuel treatment under the Star Tron® brand name, and private label products. The marine line also includes motor oils, boat washes, vinyl cleaners, protectants, teak cleaners, teak oils, bilge cleaners, hull cleaners, silicone sealants, polyurethane sealants, polysulfide sealants, gasket materials, lubricants, antifouling additives and anti-freeze coolants. In addition, we manufacture a line of brushes, poles, tie-downs and other related marine accessories.

Automotive: We manufacture a line of automotive products under the Star brite® and Star Tron® brand names The automotive line includes fuel treatments for both gas and diesel engines, motor oils, greases and related items. In addition, we produce anti-freeze and windshield washes under the Star brite® brand and under private labels for customers. We also produce automotive polishes, cleaners and other appearance items.

Recreational Vehicle/Power Sports: We also market Star Tron® fuel treatment to the recreational vehicle market, including snow mobiles, all terrain vehicles and motorcycles. Power sports enthusiasts have found Star Tron® a viable solution to a number of problems associated with E-10 fuel, which contains ethanol. Other recreational vehicle/power sports products include cleaners, polishes, detergents, fabric cleaners and protectors, silicone sealants, waterproofers, gasket materials, degreasers, vinyl cleaners and protectors, toilet treatment fluids and anti-freeze coolants.

Outdoor Power Equipment/ Lawn & Garden: We market Star Tron® as a viable solution to help rectify a number of operating engine problems in commercial lawn equipment and other home and garden power equipment associated with using E-10 fuel, which is fuel containing 10% ethanol.

Contract Filling and Blow Molded Bottles: We blend and package a variety of chemical formulations to our customers’ specifications. In addition, we manufacture for sale to various customers assorted styles of both PVC and HDPE blow molded bottles.

Mold/Mildew Odor Control: We manufacture and market a variety of products under the Star brite® name that help prevent and eliminate all types of mold, mildew, and other unpleasant odors, through OdorStar’s patented delivery system. Our odor control products are effective for homes, automobiles, boats and recreational vehicles.

Although our products are utilized for different types of vehicles and boats, and for home care, we believe our operations constitute one industry segment.

Manufacturing: We produce the majority of our products at the manufacturing facilities of our subsidiary, Kinpak, Inc. ("Kinpak"), in Montgomery, Alabama. In addition, we contract with various unaffiliated companies located in the northeastern and mid-western areas of the country to manufacture our other products, which are manufactured to our specifications using our provided formulas. Each third party packager enters into a confidentiality agreement with us.

We purchase raw materials from a wide variety of suppliers; all raw materials used in manufacturing are readily available from alternative sources. We design our own packaging and supply our outside manufacturers with the appropriate design or packaging. We believe that our internal manufacturing capacity and our arrangements with our current outside manufacturers are adequate for our present needs.

In the event that arrangements with any third-party manufacturer are discontinued, we believe that we will be able to locate substitute manufacturing facilities without a substantial adverse effect on our manufacturing and distribution.

Marketing and Significant Customers: Our products are sold through national retailers such as Wal-Mart, Tractor Supply,West Marine, and Bass Pro Shops. We also sell to national and regional distributors that sell our products to specialized retail outlets. Currently we have two customers to whom sales exceeded 10% of consolidated net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012. Sales to these two customers represented approximately 37% of consolidated net sales. Sales to our five largest unaffiliated customers for the year ended December 31, 2012, amounted to approximately 49% of our consolidated net sales, and at December 31, 2012, outstanding accounts receivable balances from our five largest unaffiliated customers aggregated approximately 23% of our consolidated accounts receivable.

We market our products through internal salesmen and approximately 40 sales representatives who work on an independent contractor commission basis. Our personnel also participate in sales presentations and trade shows. In addition, we market our brands and products through advertising campaigns in national magazines, television, newspapers and product catalogs. Our products are distributed primarily from Kinpak’s manufacturing and distribution facility in Montgomery, Alabama. Since 2008, we have participated in a vendor managed inventory program with one major customer.

Backlog, seasonality, and selling terms: We had no significant backlog of orders at December 31, 2012. We do not give customers the absolute right to return product. The majority of our products is non-seasonal and is sold throughout the year. Normal trade terms offered to credit customers range from 30 to 60 days. However, at times we offer extended payment terms or discount arrangements as purchasing incentives to customers. These initiatives do not materially affect customary margins.

Competition:

Competition with respect to our principal product lines is described below: The principal elements of competition affecting all of our product lines are brand recognition, price, service and the ability to deliver products on a timely basis.

Marine: We have several national and regional competitors in the marine marketplace. We do not believe that any competitor or small group of competitors hold a dominant market share. We believe that we can increase or maintain our market share through expenditures directed to our present methods of advertising and distribution.

Automotive: There are a large number of companies, both national and regional, that compete with us. Many are more established and have greater financial resources than we do. While our market share is small, the total market size is substantial. We believe that we have established a reasonable market share through our present methods of advertising and distribution, considering the large size of this market.

Recreational Vehicle/Power Sports: We compete with national and regional competitors. We do not believe that any competitor or small group of competitors hold a dominant market share. We believe that we can increase or maintain our market share by utilizing similar methods to those we use in the marine market.

Outdoor Power Equipment/Lawn & Garden: We compete with several established national and regional competitors. We do not believe that any competitor or small group of competitors hold a dominant market share. We have attempted to make inroads in this market by emphasizing Star Tron®’s unique formulation and by increasing our advertising and attendance at trade shows.

Trademarks: We have obtained registered trademarks for Star brite®, Star Tron® and other trade names used on our products. We view our trademarks as significant assets because they provide product recognition. We believe that our intellectual property is protected, but we cannot assure that our intellectual property rights can be successfully asserted in the future or will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged.

Patents: In 2010, the Company acquired an interest in patents held by OdorStar. The patents relate to a delivery system, for use with products containing chlorine dioxide, designed to safely prevent and eliminate all types of odors relating to mold, mildew, and other unpleasant odors. The patents expire in 2022.

New Product Development: We continue to develop specialized products for the marine, automotive, recreational vehicle/power sports and outdoor power equipment/lawn and garden markets. Expenditures for new product development have not been significant and are charged to operations in the year incurred.

Personnel: At December 31, 2012, we had 117 full-time employees. The following table provides information regarding personnel working for the Company and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2012:

Location	Description	Full-time Employees
Fort Lauderdale, Florida	Administrative	28
Fort Lauderdale, Florida	Manufacturing and distribution	7
Montgomery, Alabama	Manufacturing and distribution	82

Item 1A. Risk Factors

If we do not compete effectively, our business will suffer.

We confront aggressive competition in the sale of our products. In each of the markets in which we sell our products, we compete with a number of national and regional competitors. Competition in the automotive market is particularly intense, with many national and regional companies marketing competitive products. Many of our competitors in the automotive market are more established and have greater financial resources than we do. Our inability to successfully compete in our principal markets would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Economic conditions can adversely affect our business.

We are subject to risks arising from adverse changes in general domestic and global economic conditions, including recession or economic slowdown and disruption of credit markets, which may impair the ability of our customers to satisfy obligations due to us. In addition, adverse economic conditions in recent years have adversely affected discretionary spending, which can have an indirect adverse effect on our product lines, particularly those directed to the marine and recreational vehicle markets. A continued economic slowdown or a decline in economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Failure to effectively utilize or successfully assert intellectual property rights could materially adversely affect our competitiveness.

We rely on trademarks and trade names in connection with our products, the most significant of which are Star brite® and Star Tron®. OdorStar also owns patents we consider important to our business. We rely on trademark, trade secret, patent and copyright laws to protect our intellectual property rights. We cannot assure that these intellectual property rights will be effectively utilized or, if necessary, successfully asserted. There is a risk that we will not be able to obtain and perfect our own intellectual property rights, or, where appropriate, license from others intellectual property rights necessary to support new product introductions. Our intellectual property rights, and any additional rights we may obtain in the future, may be invalidated, circumvented or challenged in the future. Our failure to perfect or successfully assert intellectual property rights could make us less competitive and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Environmental matters may cause potential liability risks.

We must comply with various environmental laws and regulations in connection with our operations, including those relating to the handling and disposal of hazardous wastes and the remediation of contamination associated with the use and disposal of hazardous substances. A release of such substances due to accident or intentional act could result in substantial liability to governmental authorities or to third parties. In addition, we are subject to reporting requirements with respect to certain materials we use in our manufacturing operations. In January 2011, Kinpak, which owns our manufacturing facility in Montgomery, Alabama, became subject to a consent agreement and final order with the United States Environmental Protection Agency relating to its alleged failure to complete and submit certain required forms with respect to toxic and hazardous chemicals used at its facilities. Under the consent agreement and final order, Kinpak paid a civil penalty of $110,000. It is possible that we could become subject to additional environmental liabilities in the future that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our variable rate indebtedness exposes us to risks related to interest rate fluctuation.

The Company has a revolving line of credit with a variable interest rate. At December 31, 2012, the Company did not have any borrowings outstanding under the revolving line of credit. However, during 2012 the highest amount outstanding under the revolving line of credit was $1,700,000. Interest on the revolving line of credit is payable at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 1.74% per annum (unless the Company’s debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, falls below 2.0 to 1, in which case the additional percentage will be 2.75% per annum). In no event will the interest rate be less than 2.0% per annum. If interest rates were to increase significantly, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

Our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer is a majority shareholder who controls us, and his interest may conflict with or differ from the Company's interests.

Peter G. Dornau, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, owns approximately 55% of our Common Stock. As a result, Mr. Dornau has the power to elect all of our directors and effectively has the ability to prevent any transaction that requires the approval of our Board of Directors and our shareholders. Products that we manufacture and that are sold outside of the United States and Canada are purchased from us and distributed by two companies owned by Mr. Dornau, which we refer to as the “affiliated companies.” Sales to the affiliated companies aggregated approximately $1,487,000 and $1,764,000 during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. An affiliated company owns the rights to the Star brite® and Star Tron® trademarks and related products outside of the United States and Canada.

In addition, we provided administrative services to the affiliated companies for fees aggregating approximately $335,000 and $332,000 during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. While the terms of the sales to the affiliated companies differed from the terms of sale to other customers, the affiliated companies bear their own warehousing, distribution, advertising, selling and marketing costs, as well as their own freight charges (we pay freight charges in connection with sales to our domestic customers on all but small orders). Moreover, we do not pay sales commissions with respect to products sold to the affiliated companies. As a result, we believe our profit margins with respect to sales to the affiliated companies are similar to the profit margins we realize with respect to sales to our larger domestic customers. Management believes that the sales to the affiliated companies did not involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features. We have entered into other transactions with entities owned by Mr. Dornau. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information.

Trading in our Common Stock has been limited, and our stock price could potentially be subject to substantial fluctuations.

Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, but trading in our stock has been limited. Our stock price could be affected substantially by a relatively modest volume of transactions.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Item 2. Properties

Our executive offices and one of our manufacturing facilities is located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and are leased from an entity controlled by our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The lease covers approximately 12,700 square feet of office, manufacturing, and warehouse space. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information.

We own Kinpak’s Alabama facility, which currently contains approximately 300,000 square feet of office, plant and warehouse space on 20 acres of land. We also lease a 1.5 acre docking facility on the Alabama River, located approximately eleven miles from these facilities.

The Company has not paid any cash dividends since its incorporation. The Company does not currently intend to pay any cash dividends, but instead will utilize available cash to fund operations.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

Not applicable.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements contained herein as Item 8.

Overview:

We are principally engaged in the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of a broad line of appearance, performance, and maintenance products for the marine, automotive, power sports, recreational vehicle and outdoor power equipment markets, under the Star brite® and other trademarks within the United States of America and Canada. In addition, we produce private label formulations of many of our products for various customers and provide custom blending and packaging services for these and other products. We sell our products through national retailers and to national and regional distributors who, in turn, sell our products to specialized retail outlets.

Critical accounting estimates:

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

We have identified the following as critical accounting estimates, which are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, are the most pervasive and important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.

Revenue recognition and collectability of accounts receivable

Revenue from product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of a contract exists, the sales price is fixed and determinable, the title of goods pass to the customer, and collectability of the related receivable is probable. With respect to a customer for whom the Company manages the inventory at the customer's location, revenue is recognized when the products are sold to a third party. In the ordinary course of business, we grant non-interest bearing trade credit to our customers on normal credit terms. In an effort to reduce our credit risk, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and customers’ creditworthiness, as determined by our review of their current credit information. We monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based upon our historical experience, specific customer collection issues and reviews of agings of trade receivables based on contractual terms. We generally do not require collateral on trade accounts receivable. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our historical collection experience and expected collectability of the accounts receivable, considering the period an account is outstanding, the financial position of the customer and information provided by credit rating services. The adequacy of this allowance is reviewed each reporting period and adjusted as necessary. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $73,000 and $75,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which was approximately 2.4% and 2.8%, respectively, of gross accounts receivable. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, or if unexpected events or significant future changes in trends were to occur, additional allowances may be required, resulting in increased bad debt expense.

Inventories

Inventories primarily are composed of raw materials and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method. We maintain a reserve for slow moving and obsolete inventory to reduce the carrying value of our inventories to reflect the diminution of value resulting from product obsolescence, damage or other issues affecting marketability by an amount equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market value. The adequacy of this reserve is reviewed each reporting period and adjusted as necessary. We regularly compare inventory quantities on hand against historical usage or forecasts related to specific items in order to evaluate obsolescence and excessive quantities. In assessing historical usage, we also qualitatively assess business trends to evaluate the reasonableness of using historical information as an estimate of future usage. A complete physical count of the inventory is conducted annually.

Our slow moving and obsolete inventory reserve was $271,994 and $276,703 at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to reflect the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The temporary differences are attributable to differing methods of financial statement and income tax depreciation and reserves for trade accounts receivable and inventories.

The likelihood of a material change in the Company's expected realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on, among other factors, future taxable income and settlements with tax authorities. While management believes that its judgments and interpretations regarding income taxes are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience may require future adjustments to our tax assets and liabilities, which could be material.

We are also required to assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets. We evaluate positive and negative evidence and use judgments regarding past and future events, including operating results and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets. Based on this assessment, we determine when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred tax assets may not be realized, in which case we would be required to apply a valuation allowance to offset our deferred tax assets in an amount equal to future tax benefits that may not be realized. We currently do not apply a valuation allowance to our deferred tax assets. However, if facts and circumstances change in the future, valuation allowances may be required.

Significant judgment is required in determining income tax provisions and in evaluating tax positions. We establish additional provisions for income taxes when, despite the belief that tax positions are fully supportable, there remain certain positions that do not meet the minimum probability threshold, which is a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. In the normal course of business, we and our subsidiaries are examined by various federal and state tax authorities. We regularly assess the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years in determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. We adjust the income tax provision, the current tax liability and deferred taxes in any period in which facts that give rise to an adjustment become known. The ultimate outcomes of the examinations of our income tax returns could result in increases or decreases to our recorded tax liabilities, which could affect our financial results.

Trademarks, trade names and patents - We acquired the rights to the Star brite® trademark and related products for the United States and Canada in conjunction with our initial public offering during March 1981 for $880,000. The cost of these intangible assets was amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 40 years through December 31, 2001. Effective January 1, 2002 and pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (now codified in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other"), we determined that these intangible assets have indefinite lives and therefore, we no longer recognize amortization expense. In addition, our 50% owned joint venture, OdorStar Technology, LLC, owns patents we use in our business. The Company amortizes these patents over their remaining life on a straight line basis. We review the carrying values of the trademarks and patents periodically for possible impairment. Our impairment review is based on a discounted cash flow approach that requires significant judgment with respect to unit volume, revenue and expense growth rates, and the selection of an appropriate discount rate. Management uses estimates based on expected trends in making these assumptions. All impairment charges would be recorded for the difference between the carrying value and the net present value of estimated future cash flows, which represents the estimated fair value of the asset. Management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual valuations. Indicators such as unexpected adverse economic factors, unanticipated technological change, distribution losses, competitive activities and acts by governments and courts may indicate that an asset has become impaired.

Results of Operations:

Net sales were approximately $31,039,000 in 2012 compared to $31,681,000 in 2011, a decrease of $642,000 or 2.0%. The sales decrease reflects a decline in sales to one of our largest customers, which engaged in an inventory reduction program in 2012. The customers’ inventory reduction program is not expected to continue in 2013. This sales decrease was partially offset by sales to new customers and increased sales to other established customers. Net sales also reflected continued growth of our enzyme fuel treatment product, Star Tron®, into the retail markets to which our products are directed.

Cost of goods sold and gross profit – Cost of goods sold during 2012 decreased approximately $585,000 or 2.8%, to approximately $20,412,000 from approximately $20,997,000 in 2011. The decrease was principally due to the decrease in sales.

Our gross profit percentage (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) increased approximately 0.5%, from 33.7% in 2011 to 34.2% in 2012. This increase primarily was a result of improved product sales mix and a reduction of cost of goods sold. The $57,000 decrease in gross profit reflects lower net sales, somewhat mitigated by the increase in gross profit percentage.

Advertising and promotion expense was approximately $2,418,000 in 2012, an increase of approximately $438,000 or 22.1% from approximately $1,980,000 in 2011. As a percentage of net sales, advertising and promotion expense increased from 6.2% in 2011 to 7.8% in 2012. The increase in advertising expenditures was designed to support the expansion of Star Tron® products into new markets, including automotive, power sports, motorcycle, small engine and outdoor power equipment markets . We sponsored several television programs targeted to potential customers for our products and purchased print advertisements in several national magazines targeted to automotive, boating and engine maintenance and repair enthusiasts, as well as in specific industry magazines. In addition, we increased expenditures for customer cooperative advertising allowances to promote our Star Tron® and Star brite® products in catalogs and sales promotion flyers.

Selling and administrative expenses increased by about $136,000 or 2.7%, from approximately $4,990,000 in 2011 to approximately $5,126,000 in 2012. The increase is principally due to an increase in sales-related expenses mainly increased staffing and related expenses including travel and entertainment expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses increased from 15.8% in 2011 to 16.5% in 2012.

Interest expense decreased approximately $52,000 to $98,000 in 2012, compared to $150,000 in 2011. The decrease principally reflects the reduction in our short-term and long-term indebtedness during 2012. In addition, the reduction reflects reduced financing costs resulting from the July 2011 refinancing of both our short term borrowing and long term debt at lower interest rates.

Operating income – As a result of the foregoing, operating income decreased to approximately $3,082,000 in 2012, compared to approximately $3,714,000 in 2011, a decrease of $632,000 or 17.0%.

Income taxes – We had a tax expense of approximately $1,055,000 in 2012 or 35.3% of pretax income, compared to $1,280,000 in 2011 or 35.4% of pretax income. For additional information, see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.

Net Income and Net income attributable to Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. As a result of the items described above, net income decreased approximately 17.2% or approximately $401,000 to $1,934,000 from $2,335,000 in 2011. Net income attributable to Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. (excluding the loss attributable to non-controlling interests) was approximately $1,962,000 in 2012, a decrease of approximately $431,000 or 18% from approximately $2,393,000 in 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Our cash balance was approximately $1,508,000 at December 31, 2012 compared to approximately $585,000 at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012 there were no borrowings under our revolving line of credit compared to $850,000 outstanding at December 31, 2011.

Cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $2,775,000 compared to about $621,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in cash provided from operations is primarily due to the reduction in inventories of approximately $376,000 in 2012 as compared to the increase in inventories of approximately $1,849,000 in 2011. In 2011, management increased inventory levels of petroleum based products in anticipation of rising oil prices in early 2012.

Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $771,000 compared to $435,000 in 2011. In 2012 we continued to upgrade and replace older less efficient equipment in our Kinpak manufacturing facility and made capital improvements to our principal executive offices.

Cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $1,081,000 compared to $215,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in cash used in financing activities in 2012 is due to net repayments on our line of credit of $850,000 in 2012 compared to net borrowings of $850,000 in 2011. In addition, in 2011 we paid the entire balance of approximately $472,000 on a related party note held by our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, as described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report. These increases were partially offset by the lower net reduction of approximately $400,000 in long-term debt in 2012 compared to the net reduction of approximately $658,000 in 2011. We also received approximately $169,000 from the exercise of stock options in 2012 compared to approximately $65,000 in 2011.

Net trade accounts receivable aggregated approximately $2,931,000 at December 31, 2012 and $2,563,000 at December 31, 2011, an increase of 14.4%. This increase in accounts receivable is due to increased sales in December 2012.

Inventories were approximately $9,257,000 and $9,628,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, representing a decrease of approximately $371,000 or 3.9% in 2012. The higher levels of 2011 inventories compared to 2012 levels reflect management's 2011 decision to increase inventory levels of petroleum-based products in anticipation of rising oil prices.

On July 6, 2011, we, together with our subsidiary, Kinpak Inc. (“Kinpak”), entered into a Credit Agreement with Regions Bank (and, pursuant to an Equipment Finance Addendum to the Credit Agreement, Regions Equipment Finance Corporation (“REFCO”)) under which (a) our revolving line of credit with Regions Bank was renewed, and (b) REFCO provided a new term loan in the amount of $2,430,000, the proceeds of which were used to pay the Kinpak’s remaining lease obligations in connection with the previously outstanding 2002 Series of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds issued by the City of Montgomery, Alabama (the “2002 Bonds”). The 2002 Bonds were used to fund the expansion of Kinpak’s facilities and acquisition of related equipment.

Under the term loan, we pay principal, together with interest at the fixed rate of 3.54% per annum, in 72 consecutive monthly payments of $37,511 over the six year period beginning on August 6, 2011, with the final payment due on July 6, 2017. In the event our debt service coverage ratio falls below 2.0 to 1, interest on the term loan will increase by 1.01% per annum. For the year ended December 31, 2012, our debt service coverage ratio exceeded 6.0 to 1.

The Credit Agreement defines “debt service coverage ratio“ as meaning net profit plus taxes, interest, depreciation, amortization and rent expense divided by debt service plus interest and lease/rent expense. The Credit Agreement contains various covenants, including financial covenants requiring a minimum debt coverage ratio of 1.75 to 1.00, tested on a rolling four-quarter basis, and a maximum debt to capitalization ratio (funded debt divided by the sum of total net worth and funded debt) of 0.75 to 1, tested quarterly. At December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with these covenants.

Under the renewed revolving line of credit, we may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $6 million and (ii) a borrowing base equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory. Interest on the revolving line of credit is payable at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 1.74% per annum (unless our debt service coverage ratio falls below 2.0 to 1, in which case the additional percentage will be 2.75% per annum). In no event will the interest rate be less than 2.0% per annum. Outstanding amounts under the revolving line of credit are payable on demand. If no demand is made, we may repay and reborrow funds from time to time. Interest payments are made in monthly installments on outstanding average balances with all outstanding principal and interest payable on July 6, 2014. At December 31, 2012 there were no borrowings under our revolving line of credit.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by our accounts receivable and inventory, as well as real property and equipment at the Kinpak’s Montgomery, Alabama facility.

In addition to the revolving line of credit and term loan, we have obtained financing through capital leases for both manufacturing and office equipment, totaling approximately $37,600 and $62,400 at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Our sales in the Canadian market are subject to currency fluctuations relating to the Canadian dollar. We do not engage in currency hedging and address currency risk as a pricing issue. In the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded approximately $6,000 in foreign currency translation adjustments (increasing shareholders equity by $6,000).

During the past few years, we have introduced a number of new products. At times, new product introductions have required us to increase our overall inventory and have resulted in lower inventory turnover rates. The effects of reduced inventory turnover have not been material to our overall operations. We believe that all required capital to maintain such increases will continue to be provided by operations and our current financing arrangements.

Many of the raw materials that we use in the manufacturing process are petroleum or chemical based and commodity chemicals that are subject to fluctuating prices. The nature of our business does not enable us to pass through the price increases to our national retailers and distributors, as promptly as we experience increases in raw material costs. This may, at times, adversely affect our margins.

At December 31, 2012 and through the date of this report, we did not and do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures, nor do we have any other present commitment that is likely to result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.

We believe that funds provided through operations and our existing sources of financing will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements over at least the next twelve months.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures:

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") at the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act are (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding the disclosure.

Change in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. No change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management evaluated the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, management used the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). As a result of this assessment and based on the criteria in the COSO framework, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012. Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. and Subsidiaries’ management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

OCEAN BIO-CHEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

Note 1 – Organization and summary of significant accounting policies:

Organization – The Company was incorporated in November 1973 under the laws of the state of Florida and operates as a manufacturer and distributor of products principally under the Star brite® brand to the marine, automotive, recreational vehicle, and outdoor power equipment aftermarkets.

Basis of presentation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and a joint venture in which the Company has a controlling interest. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior-period data have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Revenue recognition – Revenue from product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of a contract exists, the sales price is fixed and determinable, the title of goods passes to the customer, and collectability of the related receivable is probable. Reported net sales are net of customer prompt pay discounts, contractual allowances, authorized customer returns, consumer rebates and other sales incentives.

Collectability of accounts receivable – Trade accounts receivable at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are net of allowances for doubtful accounts aggregating approximately $73,000 and $75,000, respectively. Such amounts are based on management's estimates of the creditworthiness of its customers, current economic conditions and other historical information. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company had no net bad debt expense.

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.

Shipping and handling costs – All shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs totaled approximately $1,165,000 and $1,174,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Advertising and promotion expense – Advertising and promotion expense consists of advertising costs and catalog costs. Advertising costs are expensed in the period in which the advertising occurs and totaled approximately $2,418,000 and $1,980,000 in 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company capitalizes the direct cost of producing and distributing its catalogs. Capitalized catalog costs are amortized, once a catalog is distributed, over the expected net sales period, which is generally from one to 12 months. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the carrying value of capitalized catalog costs was not material.

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

Research and development costs – Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and recorded in selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred approximately $76,000 and $58,000 of research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively.

Stock based compensation – The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC") Topic 718, "Accounting for Stock Compensation," which establishes accounting standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. Under ASC Topic 718, we recognize an expense for the fair value of our outstanding stock options and grants as they vest, whether held by employees or others.

Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of credit risk; dependence on major customers – Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company’s five largest unaffiliated customers represented approximately 49% and 51% of consolidated net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and 23% and 40% of consolidated accounts receivable at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company has a longstanding relationship with each of these entities and previously has collected all open receivable balances from these entities. The loss of any of these customers could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations (see Note 11).

F-8

Concentration of cash – At various times during the year and at December 31, 2012, the Company had a concentration of cash in one bank in excess of prevailing insurance offered through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation at such institution. Management does not consider the excess deposits to be a significant risk.

Fair value of financial instruments – ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines “fair value” as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

ASC 820 also sets forth a valuation hierarchy of the inputs (assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability) used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into the following three levels:

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, certain accrued expenses, revolving line of credit, and notes payable to related parties, approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. 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 of the long-term debt approximates fair value.

Impairment of long-lived assets – Potential impairments of long-lived assets are reviewed annually or when events and circumstances warrant an earlier review. In accordance with ASC Subtopic 360-10, "Property, Plant and Equipment – Overall," impairment is determined when estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with an asset are less than the asset’s carrying value.

Income taxes – The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method. The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. These differences are measured using tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are recovered or settled. We recognize the effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

We record a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce our deferred tax assets to the net amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.

We recognize tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if we believe that it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the positions. We establish and adjust reserves with respect to uncertain tax positions to address developments related to these positions, such as the closing of a tax audit, the expiration of a statute of limitations or the refinement of an estimate. The provision for income taxes includes the effects of any reserves with respect to uncertain tax positions that are considered appropriate, as well as the related net interest and penalties.

The Company has been audited by the Internal Revenue Service through the year ended December 31, 2009.

F-9

Trademarks, trade names and patents – The Company purchased the Star brite® trade name and trademark in 1980 for $880,000. The cost of the trade mark and trade name initially were amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 40 years. Effective January 1, 2002 and in accordance with ASC Topic 350, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other," the Company determined that these intangible assets have indefinite lives and therefore, the Company no longer recognizes amortization expense. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment every year and at other times when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is reasonably possible that an impairment may exist. In addition, the Company’s 50% owned joint venture, OdorStar Technology, LLC, owns patents for a delivery system that enables the precise control of release rates of chlorine dioxide (ClO2) products to safely help prevent and eliminate odors caused by mold, mildew and other sources of unpleasant odors. The Company amortizes these patents over their remaining life on a straight line basis. The company amortized approximately $51,000 and $77,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively.

Foreign currency adjustments – Translation adjustments result from translating the Company’s Canadian subsidiary’s financial statements into U.S. dollars. The Company’s Canadian subsidiary’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are included in Shareholders’ Equity and as a component of comprehensive income.

Earnings per share – The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share," which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings (loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options under the treasury stock method and the related income tax effects. See Note 12 - Earnings per share.

Note 2 – Inventories:

The composition of inventories at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

	2012			2011
Raw materials	$	4,055,812		$	4,431,651

The inventory reserves shown in the table above reflect slow moving and obsolete inventory.

The Company operates a vendor managed inventory program with one of its customers to improve the promotion of the Company's products. The Company manages the inventory levels at this customer’s warehouses and recognizes revenue as the products are sold by the customer. The inventories managed at the customer’s warehouses amounted to approximately $487,000 and $570,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Note 4 – Revolving Line of Credit:

On July 6, 2011, the Company, together with its subsidiary, Kinpak Inc. (“Kinpak”), entered into a Credit Agreement with Regions Bank (and, pursuant to an Equipment Finance Addendum to the Credit Agreement, Regions Equipment Finance Corporation (“REFCO”)). Under the Credit Agreement, the Company’s revolving line of credit with Regions Bank was renewed. The terms of the revolving line of credit, as renewed, provide that the Company may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $6 million or (ii) a borrowing base equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory. Interest on the revolving line of credit is payable at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 1.74% per annum (unless the Company’s debt service coverage ratio (net profit plus taxes, interest, depreciation, amortization and rent expense divided by debt service plus interest) falls below 2.0 to 1, in which case the interest is payable at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 2.75% per annum). In no event will the interest rate be less than 2.0% per annum. Outstanding amounts under the revolving line of credit are payable on demand. If no demand is made, the Company may repay and reborrow funds from time to time. The Company’s obligations under the revolving line of credit are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory, as well as real property and equipment at Kinpak’s Montgomery, Alabama facility. The Company’s obligations under the revolving line of credit and the term loan discussed in footnote 6 below are cross-collateralized. Interest on amounts borrowed under the revolving line of credit is payable in monthly installments on outstanding average balances, with all outstanding principal and interest payable on July 6, 2014. The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants requiring a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.75 to 1.00, tested on a rolling four-quarter basis, and a maximum debt to capitalization ratio (funded debt divided by the sum of total net worth and funded debt) of 0.75 to 1, tested quarterly. At December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The Company’s principal obligations under the revolving line of credit were $0 and $850,000 at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Note 6 – Long-term debt:

On July 6, 2011, under the Equipment Finance Addendum to the Credit Agreement, REFCO provided to the Company a $2,430,000 term loan with a fixed interest rate of 3.54%. Principal and interest on the term loan are payable in equal monthly installments through July 6, 2017, the date the term loan matures. The proceeds of the term loan were used to pay the Kinpak’s remaining lease obligations in connection with the previously outstanding 2002 Series of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds issued by the City of Montgomery, Alabama (the “2002 Bonds”). The 2002 Bonds were used to fund the expansion of Kinpak’s facilities and acquisition of related equipment. At December 31, 2012 approximately $1,902,000 was outstanding under the term loan.

At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company was obligated under various capital lease agreements covering equipment utilized in the Company’s operations. The capital leases, aggregating $37,552 and $62,400 at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, have varying maturities through 2015 and carry interest rates ranging from 7% to 14%.

Note 8 – Related party transactions:

During 2012, as in previous years, the Company sold products to companies affiliated with its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The affiliated companies distribute the products outside of the United States and Canada. The Company also provides administrative services to these companies. Sales to the affiliated companies aggregated approximately $1,487,000 and $1,764,000 during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and administrative fees aggregated approximately $335,000 and $332,000 during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company had accounts receivable from the affiliated companies in connection with the product sales and administrative services aggregating approximately $556,000 and $495,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Transactions with the affiliated companies were made in the ordinary course of business While the terms of the sales to the affiliated companies differed from the terms of sale to other customers, the affiliated companies bear their own warehousing, distribution, advertising, selling and marketing costs, as well as their own freight charges (the Company pays freight charges in connection with sales to its domestic customers on all but small orders). Moreover, the Company does not pay sales commissions with respect to products sold to the affiliated companies. As a result, the Company believes its profit margins with respect to sales to the affiliated companies are similar to the profit margins it realizes with respect to sales to its larger domestic customers. Management believes that the sales transactions did not involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features.

A subsidiary of the Company currently uses the services of an entity that is owned by the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company to conduct product research and development. The Company paid the entity $42,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, under this arrangement.

The Company leases office and warehouse facilities in Fort Lauderdale, Florida from an entity controlled by its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company believes that the rental payments are below market rates. See Note 9 for a description of the lease terms.

On December 6, 2010, the Company redeemed a warrant held by its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer to purchase 500,000 shares of its Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.836 per share. The warrants initially were issued to him in connection with financing he provided to the Company in December 2005. The aggregate redemption price of the warrant was $471,950, which was based on the difference between the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on December 6, 2010 and the exercise price of the warrant. The Company issued a note to the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer in an amount equal to the redemption price, which bore interest at the rate of 3% per annum. On January 5, 2011, the Company paid all outstanding principal and interest on the note. The redemption, which was approved by the independent directors of the Board of Directors, was effected in order to prevent the dilutive effect of the exercise of the warrant.

A director of the Company is Regional Executive Vice President of an entity from which the Company sources most of its insurance needs at an arm’s length competitive basis. During each of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company paid in aggregate of approximately $600,000 in insurance premiums on policies obtained through the entity.

Note 9 – Commitments

The Company leases its executive offices and warehouse facilities in Fort Lauderdale, Florida from an entity controlled by its President and Chief Executive Officer. On May 1, 2008, the Company renewed the lease for a term of ten years. The lease requires minimum base rent of $94,800 and provides for a maximum annual 2% increase in subsequent years, although the entity has not raised the minimum rent since the Company entered into the lease agreement in 1998. Additionally, the leasing entity is entitled to reimbursement of all taxes, assessments, and any other expenses that arise from ownership. Each of the parties to the lease has agreed to review the terms of the lease every three years at the request of the other party. Rent expense under the lease during each of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $96,000.

The Company leases from the Alabama State Port Authority a 1.5 acre docking facility on the Alabama River, located approximately eleven miles from the Company’s Alabama manufacturing facility. The lease expires on September 30, 2014, and requires the Company to pay rent and additional expenses totaling approximately $7,800 annually.

The following is a schedule of minimum future rentals on the Company’s non-cancelable operating leases.

Note 10 - Stock options and awards:

On June 3, 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved the Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is designed (i) to meet the Nasdaq listing requirements, (ii) to enable compensation attributable to grants under the Plan to qualify for an exemption from the deduction limit under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”) and (iii) to enable incentive stock options to meet the requirements of the Code.

As a result of the adoption of the Plan, no further stock option grants will be made under the Company’s 2002 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, 2002 Incentive Stock Option Plan, 2007 Incentive Stock Option Plan, 2008 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan and 2008 Incentive Stock Option Plan.

Qualified options previously granted typically have a five-year term with vesting in equal 20% increments on each anniversary of the date of grant. Non-qualified options previously granted to outside directors have a 10-year term and are immediately exercisable. The last tranche of non-qualified options previously granted terminate on April 25, 2020.

The Company’s top five unaffiliated customers represented approximately 49% and 51%, of consolidated net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 23% and 40% of consolidated trade accounts receivables at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. While the Company enjoys good relations with these customers, the loss of any of these customers could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations.

Note 12 – Earnings per share:

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Ocean-Bio Chem, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional dilution from potential common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share, as well as a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a diluted basis.

	Year Ended December 31 ,
	2012		2011
Earnings per common share –Basic

Net income attributable to OBCI	$	1,962,288	$	2,392,637

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		8,229,720		7,953,329

Earnings per common share – Basic	$	0.24	$	0.30

Earnings per common share – Diluted

Net income attributable to OBCI	$	1,962,288	$	2,392,637

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		8,229,720		7,953,329

Effect of employee stock-based awards		326,387		442,018

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - assuming dilution		8,556,107		8,395,347

Earnings per common share - Diluted	$	0.23	$	0.28

The Company had no stock options outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, that were anti-dilutive and therefore not included in the diluted earnings per common share calculation.
