Item 7. Financial Information, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits

      (a) Pro Forma Financial Information

      The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet of Standard Automotive
Corporation ("SAC") at June 30, 1998 and the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined
Statements of Income of SAC for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998 and the
three months ended June 30, 1998 which are set forth below, give effect to the
acquisition of R/S Truck Body Co., Inc. on July 21, 1998, based upon the
assumptions set forth below, and in the notes to such statements. The
acquisition has been accounted for as a "purchase".

      The unaudited pro forma financial information has been included pursuant
to the requirements set forth in applicable rules of the SEC and is provided for
comparative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information
presented does not purport to be indicative of the financial position or
operating results which would have been achieved had the acquisitions taken
place at the date indicated and should not be construed as representative of the
Company's financial position or results of operations far any future date or
period.

      The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on available information and
certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the
circumstances; however the actual recording of the R/S acquisition (which
recording management does not expect to vary materially) will be based on
independent appraisals, evaluations and estimates of fair values.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
R & S Truck Body Company, Inc.

      We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of R & S Truck Body
Company, Inc. (a Kentucky corporation) as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the
related statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flows for the years
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.

      We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of R & S Truck Body Company,
Inc. as of December 31, 1996, and 1997, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

            R & S Truck Body Company, Inc. is a Kentucky corporation engaged in
      the manufacture and sales of truck bodies for a variety of applications.
      The Corporation also manufactures suspensions for truck bodies. The
      Corporation currently operates a single plant site, Allen Kentucky.

            The accounting records of the Corporation are maintained using the
      accrual method of accounting for both financial reporting purposes as well
      as for income tax purposes.

            Accounts receivable represent amounts due from trade customers as
      well as employees. Provision for doubtful accounts was made using the
      reserve method of accounting for bad debt expense.

            Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a
      first-in, first-out basis; FIFO) or market and included material, labor
      and factory overhead.

            Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. The
      provision for depreciation is computed using both the straight line and
      declining balance methods. Depreciation amounts are the same for both
      financial statements and tax purposes for assets acquired prior to January
      1, 1981. The Economic Recovery Act of 1981 requires that, for the federal
      tax purposes, the Accelerated Cost Recovery System guidelines for
      depreciation be used for assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to
      expense as incurred. Costs of improvements and renewals are capitalized
      and property replaced is accounted for as a replacement.

            For income tax purposes certain items of income and expense are
      recognized in different periods from those in which such items are
      recognized for financial statement purposes. These items include MACRS and
      ACRS depreciation.

            The Corporation filed an election with the Internal Revenue Service
      to be taxed as an S Corporation for the fiscal year beginning October 1,
      1986. Income from S Corporations is not generally taxed at the corporate
      level but is passed through to the stockholders. This election resulted in
      the Corporation having to adopt a calendar year in order to comply with
      Internal Revenue Service regulations.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

      current provision for income tax is presented. There are differences
      between financial statement income and tax return income as a result of
      timing differences (see Note 1) as well as provisions of the Tax Reform
      Act of 1986 (see Note 2). Additionally, the provisions of the Tax Reform
      Act result in the Corporation being able to deduct for tax purposes 50% of
      entertainment expenses.
