NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY:
Pride Automotive Group, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State
of Delaware in March 1995. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of a
reorganization in March 1995, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of its common
stock to Pride, Inc. (an entity incorporated in the State of Delaware), thereby
making the Company a majority owned subsidiary of Pride, Inc., in exchange for
all of the issued and outstanding shares held by Pride, Inc. of Pride Management
Services, Plc., (PMS) a consolidated group of operating companies located in the
United Kingdom. The PMS companies are engaged in the leasing of motor vehicles
primarily on contract hire to local authorities and select corporate customers
throughout the United Kingdom. This exchange of stock resulted in PMS becoming a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company, its subsidiary PMS, and
PMS's subsidiaries are referred to as the "Company" unless the context otherwise
requires.
On November 29, 1996, the Company, through its newly formed, 70%, majority
owned subsidiary, AC Automotive Group Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary AC
Car Group Limited (registered in the United Kingdom), completed the acquisition
of certain assets of AC Cars Limited and Autocraft Limited. These two companies
were engaged in the manufacture and sale of specialty automobiles. The purchase
price of approximately $6,067,000 was financed with the proceeds of a private
offering of the Company's common stock and by loans. Fixed assets recorded as a
result of this acquisition aggregated $3,038,182. In April 1997, the Company,
through the services of an independent third-party expert, determined that the
value of such fixed assets acquired was actually $6,643,365 at the date of
acquisition. A portion of this increase ($1,990,215) was previously reflected as
an intangible asset, which has now been reclassified. The balance of the
increase of $1,614,968, recorded as negative goodwill, has been offset against
non-current assets acquired. The balance sheet as of November 30, 1996 (year
end) included herein has therefore been restated to reflect this corrected
valuation as follows: Fixed Assets has been increased by $1,990,215 and
Intangible Assets has been reduced by $1,990,215. In addition financial
statements for the year ended November 30, 1996 have been restated to correct an
error in the method by which the Company was reflecting the minority
shareholders' interest in AC Automotive Group, Inc. The effect of this
restatement was to increase the minority interest liability and decrease
additional paid-in capital as of November 30, 1996 in the amount of $482,486.
The Company is in the process of preparing an amended Form 10-KSB to be filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission to reflect such restatements.
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 to
the Company's consolidated financial statements included in its Annual report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended November 30, 1996 which is incorporated herein by
reference. Specific reference is made to this report for a description of the
Company's securities and the notes to consolidated financial statements included
therein.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY (Continued):
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim
consolidated condensed financial statements of Pride Automotive Group, Inc. and
its wholly owned subsidiaries, contain all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the Company's financial position as of May 31, 1997 and the results of
its operations for the six and three month periods ended May 31, 1997 and 1996
and its cash flows for the six month periods ended May 31, 1997 and 1996.
The results of operations for the six and three month periods ended May 31,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.
NOTE 2 - FIXED ASSETS:
Fixed assets consists of the following:
May 31, November 30,
1997 1996
Building and improvements $ 1,719,415 $ 1,719,415
Revenue producing vehicles 22,218,436 17,282,095

Less: accumulated depreciation 4,934,115 3,898,795
------------- ------------
$24,670,809 $20,671,854
NOTE 3 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
Intangible assets consist of goodwill which arose in connection with the
acquisition of certain subsidiaries of PMS. Goodwill is being amortized over a
period of 10 - 20 years on a straight-line basis. Accumulated amortization as of
May 31, 1997 and November 30, 1996 aggregated $3,307,218 and $2,990,626,
respectively.
The Company periodically reviews the valuation and amortization of goodwill
to determine possible impairment by evaluating events and circumstances that
might indicate an inability to recover the carrying amount. Such evaluation is
based on various analyses, including profitability projections and cash flows
that incorporate the impact on existing Company business.

NOTE 4 - LIABILITIES:
Included in liabilities as of May 31, 1997, are amounts in the aggregate of
$13,140,301 which are not due and payable until after May 31, 1998. This amount
consists of amounts due to trade creditors, loans payable and equipment notes
payable.
NOTE 5 - COMMON STOCK/INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING:
In December 1995, the Company completed a private placement offering
selling 20 units, each unit consisting of 25,000 shares of common stock, at
$6,000 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $120,000.
In April 1996, the Company successfully completed an initial public
offering of its common stock. The Company sold 592,500 shares of common stock
(including the underwriter's over allotment) at a price of $5.00 per share and
2,000,000 redeemable common stock purchase warrants at a price of $.10 per
warrant for aggregate net proceeds of $2,280,294. Each common stock purchase
warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise
price of $5.75.
In 1997, the Company completed a private placement of 18 1/2 units, each
unit consisting of a 10% promissory note in the amount of $95,000 and 10,000
shares of the Company's common stock for an aggregate price of $100,000 per
unit. The notes are payable on the earlier of 18 months from the date of
issuance or a closing of an underwritten public offering of the Company's (or
any of its subsidiaries) securities.
NOTE 6 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE:
Earnings (loss) per share are computed based upon the weighted average
shares and common equivalent shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents have
been excluded from the computation since the results would be anti-dilutive. The
shares issued in connection with the reorganization (see Note 1), and shares
issued at values below the price at which shares were sold in the Company's
initial public offering (see Note 5) have been treated as outstanding for all
periods presented, in accordance with the guidelines of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"), which changes the method for
calculating earnings per share. SFAS 128 requires the presentation of "basic"
and "diluted" earnings per share on the face of the income statement. SFAS 128
is effective for financial statements for periods ended after December 15, 1997.
The Company will adopt SFAS 128 for the year ended November 30, 1997, and
accordingly restate prior periods, as early adoption is not permitted. Statement
No. 128 is not expected to materially differ from primary earnings (loss) per
share as reported in Exhibit 11 in the Company's quarterly Form 10-QSB.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Pride Automotive Group, Inc., (the "Company") was incorporated in the State
of Delaware in March 1995. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of a
reorganization agreement entered into in March 1995, the Company issued
1,500,000 shares of its common stock to Pride, Inc. (an entity incorporated in
the State of Delaware), in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of
PMS, thereby making the Company a majority owned subsidiary of Pride Inc.
("Pride") and PMS a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. PMS is the holding
company for nine wholly-owned subsidiaries, operating as one unit, located in
the United Kingdom. PMS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are located in the
United Kingdom and follow generally accepted accounting principles in the United
Kingdom. For purposes of the consolidated financial statements of the Company,
the statements have been converted to the generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States.
Pride, the Company's parent, is an entity reporting under the Exchange Act,
and its reports may be obtained and reviewed by either contacting the Company or
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pride, Inc. on its own has virtually no
operations. As such, its financial viability is represented by the financial
statements of the Company. Pride was incorporated as L.H.M. Corp. in the State
of Delaware on May 10, 1988 as a "blank check" company, for the purpose of
seeking potential business ventures through acquisitions or merger. In April
1990, L.H.M. Corp. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with
International Sportsfest, Inc. ("ISI"), a company formed to engage in and
establish sports expositions in sports merchandise such as clothing and
equipment. ISI never engaged in any business operations. In January 1994, ISI
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with PMS, whereby PMS
became a wholly- owned subsidiary of ISI and ISI changed its name to Pride, Inc.
In December 1995, Pride Automotive Group, Inc. consummated a private
placement offering of common stock of 500,000 shares, which reduced Pride's
ownership interest to 72.8%. In April 1996, Pride Automotive Group, Inc.
completed an initial public offering of 592,500 shares of common stock at $5.00
per share and 2,000,000 redeemable common stock warrants at a price of $.10
each. The effect of the offering was to reduce the Pride's ownership interest to
56.55%.
On November 29, 1996, the Company, through its newly formed, 70%, majority
owned subsidiary, AC Automotive Group Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary AC
Car Group Limited (registered in the United Kingdom), completed the acquisition
of certain assets of AC Cars Limited and Autocraft Limited. These two companies
were engaged in the manufacture and sale of specialty automobiles. The purchase
price of approximately $6,067,000 was financed with the proceeds of a private
offering of the Company's common stock and by loans. Fixed assets recorded as a
result of this acquisition aggregated $3,038,182. In April 1997, the Company,
through the services of an independent third-party expert, determined that the
value of such fixed assets acquired was actually $6,643,365 at the date of
acquisition. A portion of this increase ($1,990,215) was previously reflected as
an intangible asset, which has now been reclassified. The balance of the
increase of $1,614,968, recorded as negative goodwill, has been offset against
non-current assets acquired. The balance sheet as of November 30, 1996 (year
end) included herein has therefore been restated to reflect this corrected
valuation as follows: Fixed Assets has been increased by $1,990,215 and
Intangible Assets has been reduced by $1,990,215. In addition financial
statements for the year ended November 30, 1996 have been restated to correct an
error in the method by which the Company was reflecting the minority
shareholders' interest in AC Automotive Group, Inc. The effect of this
restatement was to increase the minority interest liability and decrease
additional paid-in capital as of November 30, 1996 in the amount of $482,486.
The Company is in the process of preparing an amended Form 10-KSB to be filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission to reflect such restatements.

The financial information presented herein include: (i) Consolidated
Condensed Balance Sheets as of May 31, 1997 and November 30, 1996 (as restated);
(ii) Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations for the Six and Three Month
Periods Ended May 31, 1997 and 1996 and (iii) Consolidated Condensed Statements
of Cash Flows for the Six Month Periods Ended May 31, 1997 and 1996.
Results of Operations
Contract Hire/Fleet Management:
Revenues increased by $1,369,283 when comparing the three months period May
31, 1997 to the three months ended May 31, 1996. The primary reason for the 49%
increase was due to an increase in revenues from contract hire, sale of vehicles
at lease maturity and the selling of vehicles at low margins to take advantage
of dealer bonuses. During this period, 128 new contracts were written at an
average rental of $608 per vehicle as against 85 contracts in the corresponding
period in 1996 at an average rental of $512 per vehicle. During this quarter, 20
vehicles were disposed of on termination of contracts at an average profit of
$3,275 per vehicle. During the same quarter in 1996, 30 vehicles were disposed
of at an average profit of $2,910 per vehicle.
For the six month period May 31, 1997, revenues increased by $2,472,589 or
48%, when compared to the same period in 1996. The primary reason for this
increase was due to an increase in revenues from contract hire, sale of vehicles
at lease maturity and the selling of vehicles at low margins to take advantage
of dealer bonuses. During this period, 245 new contracts were written at an
average rental of $566 per vehicle as against 126 contracts in the corresponding
period in 1996 at an average rental of $498 per vehicle. For the six month
period ending May 31, 1997, 60 vehicles were disposed of on termination of
contracts at an average profit of $2,759 per vehicle as against 46 vehicles
being disposed of in the corresponding period in 1996 at an average profit of
$2,658 per vehicle. As of May 31, 1997, 1,528 vehicles were under lease and
management compared to 1,220 vehicles as at May 31, 1996.
Cost of sales (including depreciation) as a percent of revenue decreased
from 80% to 76% when comparing the three months ended May 31, 1997 and 1996.
Management attributes this decrease mainly to the increased profitability on
sale of vehicles on termination of contracts during the quarter and the writing
of more profitable contracts. Cost of sales as a percent of revenue increased
from 76% to 78% when comparing the six month periods ending May 31, 1997 and
1996. Management attributes this increase primarily to the increase in buying
and selling of vehicles and selling onto third parties at low margins to take
advantage of dealer bonuses as well as the more prudent approach to estimating
residual values of vehicles, thereby increasing the depreciation expense and
cost of sales and reducing the residual risk.
General and administrative expenses increased by $104,564 when comparing
the three month periods ended May 31, 1997 and 1996. This increase is mainly due
to an increase in staff levels as result of growth of business and normal
increases in operating overhead. For the six month period ending May 31, 1997,
compared to the same period in the prior year, general and administrative
expenses increased by $77,857 which is in line with the growth of the business.
Interest expense increased by 37% and 36% for the three month and six month
periods ending May 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. This increase is in line
with the increase in new contracts written and associated increase in funding of
vehicles.

AC Cars
The Company, on November 29, 1996, through its newly formed 70% owned
subsidiary, AC Automotive Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary AC Car
Group Limited, completed the acquisition of certain assets of AC Cars Limited
and Autocraft Limited. These two companies are engaged in the manufacture and
sale of sports cars among which the famous AC Cobra sells for approximately
$100,000.
The Company acquired the business out of administrative receivership and
for the first half of the year has devoted most of its resources to resurrecting
operations. This has involved upgrading of production facilities, improving
efficiency, appointing new dealerships, installing systems and controls and
appointing new management where necessary. New dealerships have been appointed
in the United Kingdom and a distributor has also been appointed in Australia.
The Company has embarked on a program to bring the new AC Ace sports car into
production in the last quarter of 1997, and has incurred research and
development costs associated with such planned production.
For the three-month period ended May 31, 1997, these operations reported a
loss of $860,870. Revenues for the period were $359,657 as against $244,563 for
the previous quarter. Cost of sales amounted to $269,794 as against $172,178 for
the previous quarter. General and administrative expenses increased marginally
from $379,115 to $397,342 when comparing the quarters ended February 28 and May
31, 1997. Interest charges amounted to $107,581 as against $78,383 for the first
quarter.
Research and development costs incurred relate to the manufacture and
distribution of the AC Cobra and AC Ace cars. These costs amounted to $313,922
and $232,010 for the six and three months ended May 31, 1997, respectively.
The shortfall in the working capital requirements of the AC Cars has been
funded by the contract hire operations which have obtained increased bank lines
of credit for this purpose. This will continue in the future until AC Cars is
self supportive and able to fund its own working capital requirements. The
repayment of the monies owed to the contract hire operations will be funded out
of proceeds of vehicle sales.
Consolidated
For the three months ended May 31, 1997, the Company reported a loss of
$421,361 before amortization and minority interests, as compared to a profit of
$53,311 for the same period in 1996. The reason for this, is that this quarter
includes the operating losses of AC Cars. The loss for the quarter comprises a
loss of $756,349 before amortization and minority interests in AC Cars and a
profit before goodwill amortization of $334,988 in the contract hire operations.
For the six-month period ended May 31, 1997, the Company reported a loss of
$1,005,494 before amortization and minority interests as compared to a profit of
$129,063 for the same period in 1996. The loss comprises a loss of $1,332,653
before amortization and minority interests in AC Cars and a profit before
goodwill amortization of $327,159 in the contract hire operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In 1997, the Company completed a private placement of 18.5 units, each unit
consisting of a 10% promissory note in the amount of $95,000 and 10,000 shares
of the Company's common stock for an aggregate price of $100,000 per unit. The
proceeds have been used to satisfy a portion of the debt owed for the
acquisition of AC Car Group Limited.
