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 group of  companies is 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 a newly  formed
                 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.

                 On February 12, 1998,  the Board of Directors of AC  Automotive
                 Group, Inc., authorized the issuance of 6,130,000 shares of its
                 common stock to Erwood  Holdings,  Inc.,  a company  affiliated
                 with Alan Lubinsky,  the President and Chief Executive  Officer
                 and director of the Company and AC Automotive Group,  Inc., for
                 aggregate consideration of $6,130. In addition,  441,300 shares
                 were  issued  to  other   unrelated   parties   for   aggregate
                 consideration  of $443.  The  foregoing  issuance of shares has
                 reduced  the  ownership  of AC  Automotive  Group,  Inc. by the
                 Company to approximately 16%.

                 Accordingly,  the Company's  investment in AC Automotive Group,
                 Inc., is being reported under the cost method of accounting.

                 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, 1997,  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.

                 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 August  31,  1998 and the
                 results of its  operations for the nine and three month periods
                 ended  August  31,  1998 and 1997 and cash  flows  for the nine
                 month periods ended August 31, 1998 and 1997.

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 August 31,
                 1998  and  November   30,  1997   aggregated   $4,095,870   and
                 $3,622,833, 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 August 31, 1998, are amounts in
                 the aggregate of $9,223,729 which are not due and payable until
                 after August 31, 1999.  This amount  consists of amounts due to
                 trade creditors, loans payable and equipment notes payable.

NOTE   5   -     NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

                 Earnings (Loss) per Share:

                 The Company has adopted SFAS 128  "Earnings  Per Share"  ("SFAS
                 128"), which is effective for periods ending after December 15,
                 1997 and has changed the method of calculating  earnings (loss)
                 per share.  SFAS 128 requires the  presentation  of "basic" and
                 "diluted"  earnings  (loss) per share on the face of the income
                 statement. Prior period earnings (loss) per share data has been
                 restated in accordance  with SFAS 128. Loss per common share is
                 computed  by  dividing  the net  loss by the  weighted  average
                 number of common shares outstanding during each period.

                 Statement of Comprehensive Income:

                 The  Company  has  adopted  SFAS 130  "Reporting  Comprehensive
                 Income",  which is effective for years beginning after December
                 15, 1997 and early adoption is permitted.  Comprehensive income
                 consists of net income or loss and other  comprehensive  income
                 (income,  expenses,  gains and  losses  that  bypass the income
                 statement and are reported directly as a separate  component of

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 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 August 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 August 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, the Company  consummated a private  placement
                 offering  of common  stock of  500,000  shares,  which  reduced
                 Pride's ownership interest to 72.8%. In April 1996, the Company
                 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 Pride's ownership interest to 56.55%.

                 On November  29,  1996,  the  Company,  through a newly  formed
                 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 speciality  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.

                 On February 12, 1998,  the Board of Directors of AC  Automotive
                 Group, Inc.  authorized the issuance of 6,130,000 shares of its
                 common stock to Erwood  Holdings,  Inc.,  a company  affiliated
                 with Alan Lubinsky,  the President and Chief Executive  Officer
                 and director of the Company and AC Automotive Group,  Inc., for
                 aggregate consideration of $6,130. In addition,  441,300 shares
                 were  issued  to  other   unrelated   parties   for   aggregate
                 consideration  of $443.  The  foregoing  issuance of shares has
                 reduced  the  ownership  of AC  Automotive  Group,  Inc. by the
                 Company to approximately 16%.

                 Accordingly,  the Company's  investment in AC Automotive Group,
                 Inc., is being reported under the cost method of accounting.

                 The  financial   information   presented  herein  include:  (i)
                 Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as of August 31, 1998 and
                 November 30, 1997; (ii)  Consolidated  Condensed  Statements of
                 Operations  for the Nine and Three Month  Periods  Ended August
                 31, 1998 and 1997 (iii)  Consolidated  Condensed  Statements of
                 Comprehensive  Income  (Loss)  for the  Nine  and  Three  Month
                 Periods  Ended  August 31, 1998 and 1997 and (iv)  Consolidated
                 Condensed  Statements  of Cash Flows for the Nine Month Periods
                 Ended August 31, 1998 and 1997.

                 Results of Operations - Contract Hire

                         All numbers for the prior year are  exclusive of the AC
                    Automotive Group.

                 For the nine month period ended August 31, 1998,  contract hire
                 and fleet management revenue increased by $1,838,425 or 29.50%,
                 when  compared  with the same period in 1997.  This increase is
                 mainly due to the growth of the fleet,  since the  beginning of
                 1997.

                 During the period,  185 new  contracts  were written as against
                 403 for the same period during 1997. For the nine month period,
                 194 vehicles  were disposed of on  termination  of contracts as
                 against 92 vehicles disposed during the same period in 1997.

                 Contract  hire  income  increased  by  $396,325  or 19.36% when
                 comparing  the three month  period ended August 31, 1998 to the
                 three  months  ended  August 31,  1997.  This  increase is as a
                 result of the growth in the fleet over the past two years.

                 Lease  vehicle sales  decreased by $497,905 when  comparing the
                 two quarters.  Although more contracts terminated than in 1997,
                 the amount of vehicle sales is dependent on the type of vehicle
                 sold and the market value.

                 During the  quarter,  100 vehicles  were  disposed of, 32 at an
                 average  profit of $644 and 66 at an average loss of $335.  The
                 average profit per vehicle on disposal is dependent on the type
                 of  vehicle  sold and the  current  market  value of  vehicles.
                 During the same quarter in 1997,  32 vehicles  were disposed of
                 at an average profit of $1,076.

                 During the quarter,  22 new contracts  were acquired as against
                 158 in the previous  year.  The average  monthly  rental of new
                 contracts  written was $571 as against $582 per vehicle  during
                 the same quarter in 1997.

                 For the three month period ended August 31, 1998, cost of sales
                 including  depreciation decreased marginally from $3,129,903 to
                 $3,071,840.  As a percent of  contract  hire income and sale of
                 vehicles,  this percentage  increased marginally from 85.20% to
                 86%.

                 Cost of sales including depreciation,  decreased marginally for
                 the  nine  month   period  ended  August  31,  1998  and  1997,
                 respectively.  The decrease from $9,089,820 to $8,247,221 is in
                 line  with the  decrease  in  contract  hire and  vehicle  sale
                 revenue of $10,915,009 to  $10,077,894.  As a percent of sales,
                 the  percentage  decreased from 83.28% to 81.83% when comparing
                 the  nine  month   period  ended  August  31,  1998  and  1997,
                 respectively.

                 General and administrative  expenses increased by $282,443,  or
                 27.43%, when comparing the nine month periods ending August 31,
                 1998 and 1997.  This  increase  is in line with the  $1,838,425
                 increase in contract hire and fleet management income of 29.5%,
                 when  comparing the nine month period ended August 31, 1998 and
                 1997, respectively.

                 For  the  nine   months   ended   August  31,  1998  and  1997,
                 respectively,  interest expense increased by $622,851. Interest
                 expense  increased by $145,431  when  comparing the three month
                 periods  ended August 31, 1998 and 1997.  This increase is as a
                 result of the increase in hire purchase  funding to finance new
                 business  and the  increase  in the bank line of credit to fund
                 increased working capital requirements.

                 For the nine months ended August 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company
                 reported,  after amortization of goodwill of ($473,040 for both
                 periods), a loss of $894,826 and $60,618, respectively.

                 For the three  months  ended  August  31,  1998 and  1997,  the
                 Company reported,  after  amortization of goodwill of ($157,680
                 for both periods) a loss $481,218 and $72,416, respectively.

                 Liquidity and Capital Resources

                 Net cash provided from operating  activities for the nine month
                 periods  ended August 31, 1998 and 1997  aggregated  $3,147,259
                 and $2,364,682, respectively. The Company utilized net cash for
                 investing  activities  (for the  purchase of revenue  producing
                 assets) of $3,505,487 and $8,719,369 for the nine month periods
                 ended August 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Net cash utilized
                 by financing  activities was $132,914 for the nine-month period
                 ended  August  31,  1998.   Net  cash   provided  by  financing
                 activities  aggregated  $6,334,282  for the  nine-month  period
                 ended August 31, 1998.

                 The Company  believes that its financial  resources  from funds
                 provided from operations and its funding lines will be adequate
                 to meet its requirements for the next twelve-month period.

                 The  Company  has  filed a Form SB-2  with the  Securities  and
                 Exchange  Commission,  registering  for the  sale of  1,250,000
                 shares of common stock,  which  includes  170,000  shares being
                 sold  by  certain  selling  shareholders.   The  estimated  net
                 proceeds from this offering,  to the Company, is expected to be
                 $3,488,000.  The Company intends to use these proceeds to repay
                 existing debt.
