GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which consisted of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

A group that includes the Company’s Chairman of the Board, R. Randall Rollins and his brother Gary W. Rollins, who is also director of the Company, and certain companies under their control, controls in excess of fifty percent of the Company’s voting power.

2.	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

●

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The amendments in this ASU requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of thereof, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward. The only exception would be if the deferred taxes related to these items are not available to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position either by statute or at the entity’s choosing. In such cases, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The Company adopted these provisions in the first quarter of 2014 and adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:

●

Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements —Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The provisions in this ASU are intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Currently, financial statements are prepared under the presumption that the reporting organization will continue to operate as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. This going concern basis of accounting is critical to financial reporting because it establishes the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities. This ASU provides guidance regarding management’ s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and the related footnote disclosures. The amendments are effective for the year ending December 31, 2016, and for interim periods beginning the first quarter of 2017, with early application permitted. The Company plans to adopt the provisions for the year ending December 31, 2016 and will provide such disclosures as required if there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company currently does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

●

Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU affects any entity using U.S. GAAP that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply a five step process – (i) identifying the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company plans to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of 2017 and is currently evaluating the impact of these provisions on its financial statements. Early adoption is not permitted.

●

Accounting Standards Update 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in the ASU require that only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. Examples include a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The new guidance also requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The amendments in the ASU are effective in the first quarter of 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of 2015 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods. The basic and diluted calculations differ as a result of the dilutive effect of stock options and time lapse restricted shares included in diluted earnings per share, but excluded from basic earnings per share. In addition, the Company has periodically issued share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are therefore considered participating securities.

A reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding is as follows:


	Three months ended September 30 ,						Nine months ended September 30,
(In thousands except per share data )	2014			2013			2014			2013
Net income available for stockholders	$	1,882		$	2,002		$	6,873		$	5,386

Basic shares outstanding:
Common stock		35,642			35,556			35,710			35,516
Restricted shares of common stock		1,262			1,271			1,240			1,263
		36,904			36,827			36,950			36,779
Diluted shares outstanding:

		37,190			37,180			37,236			37,058

Inclusion of all participating securities in the computation of Earnings Per Share (EPS) under the two-class method had no impact on the Basic EPS amounts reported for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and a reduction of $0.01 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

The effect of the Company’s stock options as shown below have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the following periods, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive:

The total fair value of shares vested was approximately $2,356,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $1,457,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Tax benefits for compensation tax deductions in excess of compensation expense totaling approximately $311,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $108,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were credited to capital in excess of par value and classified as financing cash flows.

Other Information

5.	MARKETABLE 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 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 securities are included in interest income.

6.	WARRANTY COSTS AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES

Warranty Costs

The Company warrants components of the boat, excluding the engine, against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year. Cockpit upholstery and canvas is warranted for three years. The Company also warrants the structural hull, including its transom and supporting stringer system, against defects in materials and workmanship for ten years. The structural deck is warranted for a period of five years to the original purchaser. An analysis of the warranty accruals for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:


(in thousands)	2014			2013
Balance at beginning of period	$	3,410		$	2,522

Balance at September 30	$	4,223		$	3,415

The warranty accruals are reflected in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

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 expects to incur obligations for inventory repurchases totaling approximately $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 resulting from dealer defaults on floor plan financing. The Company recorded costs in connection with these repurchases of approximately $60 thousand during the third quarter of 2014 as a reduction to net sales. The Company had no material repurchases of inventory during the year ended December 31, 2013 or during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company currently has an agreement with one of the floor plan lenders whereby the contractual repurchase limit is to not exceed 16 percent of the amount of the average net receivables financed by the floor plan lender for dealers during the prior 12 month period, which was $8.1 million as of September 30, 2014. The Company has contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of approximately $4.6 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 $12.7 million as of September 30, 2014.

7.	BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has only one reportable segment, its powerboat manufacturing business; therefore, the majority of segment-related disclosures are not relevant to the Company. In addition, the Company’s results of operations and its financial condition are not significantly reliant upon any single customer or product model.

8.	INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of the following:


(in thousands)	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Raw materials and supplies	$	15,479	$	15,901
Work in process		5,638		7,435
Finished goods		3,456		5,523
Total inventories	$	24,573	$	28,859

9.	INCOME TAXES

The Company determines its periodic income tax provision (benefit) based upon the current period income and the annual estimated tax rate for the Company adjusted for any change 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

For the third quarter of 2014, the income tax provision reflects an effective tax rate of 30.1 percent, compared to an effective tax rate of 30.5 percent for the comparable period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 the income tax provision reflects an effective tax rate of 30.1 percent, compared to an effective tax rate of 24.8 percent in the comparable period in the prior year. The effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is the result of continued beneficial permanent differences including tax-exempt interest income and a favorable U.S. manufacturing deduction. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflects both the 2013 research and experimentation credit and the full year impact of the 2012 research and experimentation credit which was retroactively enacted into law in 2013.

10.	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company participates in a multiple employer pension plan. The following represents the net periodic benefit (credit) cost and related components for the plan:

11.	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 Nine 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.

The following table summarizes the valuation of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

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 seven to ten 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, 2013 is incorporated herein by reference. There have been no significant changes in the strategies since year-end.

In implementing these strategies and attempting to optimize our financial returns, management closely monitors dealer orders and inventories, the production mix and profitability of its various models, and indications of near term demand such as consumer confidence, interest rates, fuel costs, 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 market share, unit sales of our products, average selling price per unit, and gross profit margins, among others, as indicators of the success of our strategies. Marine Products’ financial results are specifically affected by consumer confidence, because pleasure boating is a discretionary expenditure. Our financial results are also affected by interest rates and credit availability, because many retail customers finance the purchase of their boats and our dealers finance the purchase of their inventory. In addition, our financial results are affected by other socioeconomic and environmental factors such as availability of leisure time, consumer preferences, demographics and the weather.

Our net sales were lower during the third quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2014 and the third quarter of 2013 because of lower unit sales of our Chaparral model lines, partially offset by increased unit sales of Robalo as well as our recently introduced Vortex Jet Boat.

Operating income decreased 7.9 percent during the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year due to lower gross profit, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased during the quarter compared to the prior year due to costs that vary with sales and profitability, such as officer incentive compensation and sales commissions. Dealer inventory in units as of September 30, 2014 was lower than at the end of the second quarter of 2014 but higher than at the end of the third quarter of 2013.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

OUTLOOK

The discussion on the outlook for 2014 is incorporated herein by reference from the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

We believe that recreational boating retail demand in many segments of the industry is improving. Attendance and sales during the most recent winter boat shows were moderately higher than the prior season, and residential real estate markets and consumer confidence have stabilized. We also believe that there is improved demand from consumers who have delayed purchasing a boat over the past few years due to economic uncertainty.

Although industry wide retail boat sales remain lower than they were prior to the financial crisis, sales volumes expanded in 2013 and the first nine months of 2014, and we expect this to continue for the remainder of 2014. We believe improvements in retail boat sales will be modest due to the lack of strong economic improvement, which tends to discourage consumers from purchasing large discretionary goods such as pleasure boats. Fluctuations in fuel prices can impact our sales, and during the third quarter fuel prices decreased compared to both the prior quarter and the prior year. In general, the overall cost of boat ownership has increased, especially in the sterndrive recreational boat market segment, which comprises the majority of the Company’s sales. The higher cost of boat ownership also 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 2015 model year which began on July 1, 2014. We are continuing to emphasize the value-priced Chaparral and Robalo models, as well as larger models in the Chaparral line-up including the SSX’s, and new Robalo bay boat models. In addition, we continue to be pleased with the reception of our new Vortex Jet Boat, and plan to introduce an additional larger model for the 2015 model year for production beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014. We believe that these jet boat models will expand our customer base, and leverage our strong dealer network and reputation for quality and styling. We will continue to develop and produce additional new products for the 2015 model year.

Our financial results for the full year of 2014 will depend on a number of factors, including interest rates, consumer confidence, the availability of credit to our dealers and consumers, fuel costs, 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, 2014 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $4.1 million or 9.7 percent compared to the comparable period in 2013. The change in net sales during the quarter compared to the prior year was due primarily to a 8.9 percent decrease in the number of units sold, coupled with a 3.1 percent decrease in average selling price per boat. The decrease in net sales was due to lower unit sales of most of our Chaparral model lines during the quarter as compared to the prior year, partially offset by increased unit sales of Robalo as well as sales of our new Vortex jet boats. Average selling prices declined primarily due to changes in the model mix in several of our Chaparral model lines during the quarter as compared to the prior year. In the third quarter of 2014, sales outside of the United States accounted for 13.7 percent of net sales compared to 13.5 percent of net sales in the prior year third quarter. International net sales decreased 8.4 percent during the third quarter of 2014 to $5.2 million and domestic net sales decreased 9.9 percent to $32.8 million compared to the third quarter of the prior year.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $31.0 million compared to $34.3 million for the comparable period in 2013, a decrease of $3.3 million or 9.6 percent. The decrease in cost of goods sold is consistent with the decrease in net sales.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $4.4 million compared to $4.9 million for the comparable period in 2013, a decrease of $0.5 million or 11.0 percent. This decrease was due to lower warranty expense as well as other costs that vary with sales and profitability, such as sales commissions and incentive compensation. Warranty expense was lower due to favorable claims experience. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales declined to 11.6 percent in the third quarter of 2014 from 11.8 percent in the third quarter of 2013.

Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $0.2 million or 7.9 percent compared to the comparable period in 2013 due to lower gross profit, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

Interest income was $116 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $83 thousand for the comparable period in 2013. This increase was primarily due to a decrease in realized loss, coupled with an increase in the average balance of our marketable securities portfolio.

Income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $810 thousand compared to $877 thousand for the comparable period in 2013. The income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2014 reflects an effective tax rate of 30.1 percent compared to an effective tax rate of 30.5 percent for the comparable period in the prior year. The effective rates include the effect of beneficial permanent differences including tax-exempt interest income and a favorable U.S. manufacturing deduction.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased $5.1 million or 4.0 percent compared to the comparable period in 2013. The change in net sales was due to a 3.7 percent increase in the average gross selling price per boat, partially offset by a 1.0 percent decrease in the number of boats sold. Unit sales decreased primarily due to lower sales of our SSi models, partially offset by increased unit sales of Robalo as well as our new Vortex jet boats. Average selling prices increased due to a favorable model mix that included higher sales of our larger Chaparral H2O models, larger Robalo models and our large SSX Sportsboats, introduced in the 2014 model year, partially offset by sales of our new Vortex jet boats. In the first nine months of 2014, sales outside of the United States accounted for 17.2 percent of net sales compared to 18.8 percent of net sales for the comparable period in 2013. International net sales decreased 4.9 percent to $23.0 million while domestic net sales increased 6.0 percent to $110.6 million compared to the comparable period in the prior year.

Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $108.4 million compared to $106.3 million for the comparable period in 2013, an increase of $2.1 million or 1.9 percent. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, decreased primarily due to a favorable model mix, lower incentive costs, improved margins on parts and accessories sales and enhanced production efficiencies.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $15.8 million compared to $15.4 million for the comparable period in 2013, an increase of $0.4 million or 2.3 percent. This increase was due to expenses that vary with sales and profitability, such as incentive compensation and sales commissions, partially offset by a decrease in warranty expense due to favorable claims experience. Warranty expense was 1.4 percent of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 1.7 percent for the comparable period in the prior year.

Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased $2.7 million compared to the comparable period in 2013 due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

Interest income was $359 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $410 thousand for the comparable period in 2013. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in realized gains, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of our marketable securities portfolio.

Income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $3.0 million compared to $1.8 million for the comparable period in 2013. The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflects an effective tax rate of 30.1 percent compared to an effective tax rate of 24.8 percent for the prior year. The 2014 rate is a result of continued beneficial permanent differences including tax-exempt interest income and a favorable U.S. manufacturing deduction. The 2013 effective tax rate also benefited from the impact of research and experimentation credits for both 2013 and the full year of 2012 when the credit was retroactively enacted into law in the first quarter of 2013.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2014 were $5.3 million compared to $5.1 million at December 31, 2013. In addition, the aggregate of short-term and long-term marketable securities was $44.5 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $36.6 million at December 31, 2013.

The following table sets forth the cash flows for the applicable periods:


	Nine months ended September 30,
( in thousands )		2014			2013

Net cash provided by operating activities		$	13,148		$	9,573
Net cash used for investing activities			(8,221	)		(1,476	)
Net cash used for financing activities		$	(4,745	)	$	(3,891	)

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased approximately $3.6 million compared to the comparable period in 2013. This increase is primarily due to an increase in net income, coupled with a favorable change in working capital. The major components of the net favorable change in working capital were as follows: a favorable change of $3.7 million in inventories due to inventory management and timing of shipments; $0.8 million favorable change in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities, largely attributable to timing of payments related to warranties and lower retail incentives; a favorable change of $0.7 million in accounts receivable primarily due to timing of customer payments; and a $2.7 million unfavorable change in accounts payable, due primarily to timing of payments.

Cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $8.2 million compared to $1.5 million used for investing activities for the same period in 2013. The increase in cash used for investing activities is primarily due to increased purchases of marketable securities in the current period resulting from increases in cash provided by operations.

Cash used for financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased approximately $0.9 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to an increase in share repurchases, coupled with an increase in shares purchased for withholding taxes related to the vesting of restricted shares.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 2014 will be approximately $600 thousand of which $345 thousand has been spent through September 30, 2014.

The Company participates in a multiple employer Retirement Income Plan, sponsored by RPC, Inc. (“RPC”). The Company made a $135 thousand cash contribution to this plan during the first nine months of 2014 and does not expect to make any additional contributions for the remainder of 2014.

The Company expects to incur obligations for inventory repurchases totaling approximately $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 resulting from dealer defaults on floor plan financing. The Company recorded costs in connection with these repurchases of approximately $60 thousand during the third quarter of 2014 as a reduction of net sales. As of September 30, 2014 there are no outstanding amounts due to lenders for inventory repurchases. See further information regarding repurchase obligations in Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements and in the section below titled “Off Balance Sheet Arrangements.”

As of September 30, 2014, the Company has purchased a total of 5,133,785 shares in the open market under the Company stock repurchase program and there are 3,116,215 shares that remain available for repurchase under the current authorization. The Company repurchased 100,000 shares under this program during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

On October 29, 2014, the Board of Directors approved a $0.03 per share cash dividend in addition to a special dividend of $0.04 per common share, both payable December 10, 2014 to stockholders of record at the close of business November 10, 2014. 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.

The Company warrants components of the boat, excluding the engine, against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year. Cockpit upholstery and canvas is warranted for 3 years. The Company also warrants the structural hull, including its transom and supporting stringer system, against defects in materials and workmanship for ten years. The structural deck is warranted for a period of 5 years to the original purchaser. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detail of activity in the warranty accruals during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 during the year ended December 31, 2013 or the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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 expects to incur obligations for inventory repurchases totaling approximately $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 resulting from dealer defaults on floor plan financing. The Company expects to redistribute this dealer inventory among existing dealers.

The Company currently has an agreement with one of the floor plan lenders whereby the contractual repurchase limit is to not exceed 16 percent of the amount of the average net receivables financed by the floor plan lender for dealers during the prior 12 month period, which was $8.1 million as of September 30, 2014. The Company has contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of approximately $4.6 million with various expiration and cancellation terms of less than one year, for an aggregate repurchase obligation with all financing institutions of approximately $12.7 million as of September 30, 2014.

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 $501 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $433 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company purchased 100,000 shares for total consideration of $775,000, from one of its directors who is also an executive officer. The purchase was completed under the stock buyback program approved by the Board of Directors that is currently in effect.

SEASONALITY

Marine Products’ quarterly operating results are affected by weather and general economic conditions. Quarterly operating results for the second quarter historically have reflected the highest quarterly sales volume during the year with the first quarter being the next highest sales quarter. However, the results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in any future period.

INFLATION

The market prices of certain material and component costs used in manufacturing the Company’s products, especially resins that are made with hydrocarbon feedstocks, copper and stainless steel, were very volatile as a result of the financial crisis of 2008, the ensuing global recession and the subsequent economic recovery. During the third quarter of 2014, the prices of many of these commodities were constant. Although the potential exists for these costs to remain volatile, we believe that the Company’s material costs will remain relatively stable for the remainder of 2014. In the event that the prices of these commodities increase in the future and result in higher raw materials costs, we cannot be confident that the Company will be able to institute sufficient price increases to its dealers to compensate for these increased materials costs, or that the Company will be able to implement manufacturing strategies that will significantly reduce usage of raw materials that will compensate for any increased materials costs.

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. Should higher inflation and increased interest rates occur, 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.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this report that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, the expected effect of recent accounting pronouncements on the Company’s consolidated financial statements; the Company’s estimate for warranty accruals; our favorable outlook for the near-term selling environment for our products; our belief that recreational boating retail demand in many segments of the industry is improving; our belief that there is improved demand from consumers who have delayed purchasing a boat over the past few years due to economic uncertainty; our belief that the recent expansion of industry sales volumes will continue for the remainder of 2014; our belief that improvements in retail boat sales will be modest due to the lack of economic improvement; the Company’s belief that the recreational boating industry promotional program has incrementally benefited the industry and Marine Products; our plans to continue to emphasize the value-priced Chaparral and Robalo models as well as larger models in the Chaparral line-up including the SSX’s and new Robalo bay boat models; our plans to introduce a larger Vortex jet boat model for the 2015 model year and the anticipated timing for production of those models; our belief that these jet boat models will expand our customer base and leverage our strong dealer network and reputation for quality and styling; our plans to continue to develop and produce additional new products for the 2015 model year; the Company’s 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 expectations about capital expenditures during 2014; the Company’s expectation about contributions to its pension plan in 2014; the Company’s belief about the amount and timing of inventory repurchases; the Company’s belief that material costs will remain relatively stable in 2014; the Company’s belief that it may not be able to institute sufficient price increases to compensate for increased material costs or implement manufacturing strategies that will significantly reduce usage of raw materials to compensate for any increased material costs; the Company’s expectation regarding market risk of its investment portfolio; and the Company’s expectations about the effect of litigation on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The words “may,” “should,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “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, 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, 2013. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Marine Products does not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes and, as of September 30, 2014, did not hold derivative financial instruments that could expose the Company to significant market risk. Also, as of September 30, 2014, the Company’s investment portfolio, totaling approximately $44.5 million and comprised primarily of municipal and corporate debt securities, is subject to interest rate risk exposure. This risk is managed through conservative policies to invest in high-quality obligations that are both short-term and long-term in nature. Because Marine Products’ investment portfolio mix has been allocated towards securities with similar term maturities compared to the end of fiscal year 2013, the risk of material market value fluctuations is not expected to be significantly different from the end of fiscal year 2013 and the Company currently expects no such changes through the remainder of the current year.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures – The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, September 30, 2014 (the “Evaluation Date”), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the Evaluation Date.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting – Management’s evaluation of changes in internal control did not identify any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

All such meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such place or places within or without the State of Delaware, as may from time to time be fixed by the board of directors or as shall be specified and fixed by the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof.

Each stockholder entitled to vote shall, at every meeting of the stockholders, be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy, signed by him, for each share of voting stock held by him, but no proxy shall be voted on after the meeting of stockholders for which such proxy was solicited and which has been adjourned sine die. Such right to vote shall be subject to the right of the board of directors to close the transfer books or to fix a record date for voting stockholders as hereinafter provided and if the directors shall not have exercised such right, no share of stock shall be voted on at any election for directors which shall have been transferred on the books of the corporation within twenty days next preceding such election.

DIRECTORS

FOURTH: The property and business of this corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a board of up to nine directors.

Subject to the foregoing sentence, there shall be no limitation on the number of directors that may be designated to a particular class. At each Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that time shall be elected to hold office for the term of three years to succeed those whose term expires, so that the term of office of one class of directors shall expire in each year.

To confer on any officer of the corporation the power of selecting, discharging or suspending such employees.

To determine by whom and in what manner the corporation’s bills, notes, receipts, acceptances, endorsements, checks, releases, contracts or other documents shall be signed.

NINTH: It shall be the duty of the chairman to preside at all meetings of stockholders and directors; to have general and active management of the business of the corporation; and to see that all orders and resolutions of the board of directors are carried into effect.

TWENTY-THIRD: Any stockholder or director may waive, in writing, any notice, required to be given under these by-laws whether before or after the time stated therein.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS,

OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES

TWENTY-FOURTH: The corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, in the manner and to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the DGCL, any person (or the estate of any person) who was or is a party to, or is involved in or threatened to be made a party to, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether or not by or in the right of the corporation and whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or general counsel of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, general counsel of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans. The indemnification provided herein shall be made if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that, except as provided in the following paragraph, the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors. To the full extent permitted by law, the indemnification provided herein shall include all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person. The corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon the receipt by the corporation of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance and an undertaking by or on behalf of such claimant that the claimant will repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this ARTICLE TWENTY-FOURTH or otherwise. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided herein (a) shall not be deemed to limit the right of the corporation to indemnify any other employee or agent and advance any such expenses to the full extent provided by the law, nor shall it be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification and advancement of expenses from the corporation may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, (b) is intended to be retroactive and shall be available with respect to events occurring prior to adoption of this ARTICLE TWENTY-FOURTH, and (c) shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director of officer and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. The corporation may, to the full extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such person against any liability which may be asserted against such person.

If a claim under this of this ARTICLE TWENTY-FOURTH is not paid in full within 30 calendar days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid the reasonable expense of prosecuting the claim. It shall be a defense to any such action to enforce a right to indemnification (but not to an action to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the DGCL to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation.

No repeal or modification of this ARTICLE TWENTY-FOURTH shall in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any person in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior to any such repeal or modification. If any provision of this ARTICLE TWENTY-FOURTH shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this ARTICLE TWENTY-FOURTH shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

The corporation shall not be liable to indemnify any indemnitee under this ARTICLE TWENTY-FOURTH for any amounts paid in settlement of any proceeding (or part thereof) effected without the corporation’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or for any judicial award if the corporation was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense of such proceeding. The board of directors may establish reasonable procedures for the submission of claims for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE TWENTY-FOURTH, determination of the entitlement of any person thereto, and review of any such determination.

NON-DISCRIMATION STATEMENT

TWENTY-FIFTH: Consistent with the corporation’s equal employment opportunity policy, nominations for the elections of directors shall be made by the board of directors and voted upon by the stockholders in a manner consistent with these by-laws and without regard to the nominee’s race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, age, national origin, veteran status, or disability.

NOTICE OF NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS

TWENTY-SIXTH: Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the corporation.

In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for a giving of a stockholder’s notice under this ARTICLE TWENTY-SEVENTH.

To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the secretary must set forth as to each matter of Business such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the Business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such Business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and record address of such stockholder and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (iii)(A) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner and any Stockholder Associated Person, directly or indirectly (“Stockholder Associated Person” of any stockholder shall mean (i) any person controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such stockholder, (ii) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the corporation owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder and (iii) any person controlled by or under common control with such Stockholder Associated Person), (B) any Derivative Instrument directly or indirectly owned beneficially by such stockholder, beneficial owner or Stockholder Associated Person and any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the corporation owned by any of them, (C) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship pursuant to which such stockholder, beneficial owner or Stockholder Associated Person has a right to vote any shares of any security of the corporation or any person has the right to vote their shares, (D) any short interest in any security of the corporation of such stockholder, beneficial owner or Stockholder Associated Person (for purposes of this provision a person shall be deemed to have a short interest in a security if such person directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any decrease in the value of the subject security), (E) any rights to dividends on the shares of the corporation owned beneficially by such stockholder, beneficial owner or Stockholder Associated Person that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the corporation, (F) any proportionate interest in shares of the corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which such stockholder, beneficial owner or Stockholder Associated Person is a general partner and (G) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that such stockholder, beneficial owner or Stockholder Associated Person is entitled to base on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, as of the date of such notice, including without limitation any such interests held by members of such person’s immediate family sharing the same household (which information shall be supplemented by such person or beneficial owner, if any, not later than 10 days after the record date for the meeting to disclose such ownership as of the record date), (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such Business by such stockholder or beneficial owner and any material interest of such stockholder, beneficial owner or Stockholder Associated Person in such Business, (v) the names and addresses of other stockholders and beneficial owners known by the stockholder or beneficial owner proposing such Business to support the proposal, and the class and number of shares of the corporation’s capital stock known to be beneficially owned by such other stockholders and beneficial owners, (vi) a representation that such stockholder or beneficial owner intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such Business before the meeting, and (vii) whether such stockholder or beneficial owner has delivered or intends to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the corporation’s voting shares required to carry the proposal (an affirmative statement of such intent a “Solicitation Notice”).

No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of stockholders except Business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this ARTICLE TWENTY-SEVENTH, provided, however, that, once Business has been properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this ARTICLE TWENTY-SEVENTH shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such Business. If the chairman of an annual meeting determines that business was not properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the chairman of the meeting may declare to the meeting that the business was not properly brought before the meeting and such business shall not be transacted.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of ARTICLE TWENTY-SEVENTH, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in these by-laws; provided, however, that any references in these by-laws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements of these by-laws applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to these by-laws, regardless of the stockholder’s intent to utilize Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or other federal laws or rules. Nothing in these by-laws shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of preferred stock if and to the extent required by law, the certificate of incorporation or these by-laws.

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of the capital stock of the corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this ARTICLE TWENTY-EIGHTH.
