Item 5. Acquisition and Disposition of Assets

      In June 1999, Standard Automotive Corporation ("Company") through its
wholly owned subsidiary Critical Components Corporation ("CCC"), acquired
substantially all of the assets of Ranor, Inc. ("Ranor") a fabricator of large
precision assemblies for the aerospace, nuclear, industrial and military
markets. The consideration paid for Ranor was $28,800,000, subject to final
adjustment, of which $23,500,000 was paid in cash and $5,300,000 was paid in the
form of three year, 6% interest only convertible subordinated notes of the
Company. Management estimates that a material portion of the excess purchase
price over net assets acquired will be allocated to property and equipment. The
Company is in the process of obtaining independent appraisals to value the
assets and determine their useful lives. Such determination should be completed
by the end of September 1999. Funds to complete the Ranor acquisition were
obtained by increasing the amounts outstanding under the Company's Credit
Agreement as more fully described below. The acquisition has been accounted for
as a purchase and, accordingly, the Company's first quarter financial statements
ending June 30, 1999 reflected the activity of Ranor for the period from June
16, 1999 through June 30, 1999.

      In order for the Company to consummate the acquisition of Ranor, in June
1999, the Company obtained an increase in its existing credit facility
arrangement from $40,000,000 to $68,125,000 through PNC Bank, NA and PNC Capital
Markets. The Company's Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for Term Loans in
the principal amount of $48,125,000 and a Revolving Loan in the principal amount
of $20,000,000. The principal of the Term Loans is payable in two tranches of
$23,125,000 and $25,000,000 in June 2004 and June 2005, respectively. Amounts
outstanding under the Revolving Loan are payable in full in July 2002, subject
to the Company's request, with the approval of the lenders, to extend the due
date for one year, with a maximum extension of two one year periods.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Board of Directors
Ranor, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Ranor, Inc. as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of earnings and retained earnings
and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31,
1998. 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits provide 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 Ranor, Inc. as of December 31,
1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the years in the three year period ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company changed its
method of accounting for contract revenue in 1998.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 -   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Nature of business

                  Ranor, Inc. is a job shop specializing in the fabrication and
      machining of high tolerance steel weldments. The Company serves many
      domestic markets, including U.S. Government agencies such as National
      Laboratories, the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, and the
      paper, pulp and medical technology industries. The Company builds custom,
      unique products to customer specifications.

      Accounting estimates

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

      Cash and cash equivalents

                  For purposes of these financial statements, the Company
      considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of
      three months or less to be cash equivalents.

      Credit risk

                  The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank
      deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The
      Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company
      believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash
      equivalents.

                  Other financial instruments that expose the Company to
      concentrations of credit risk are accounts receivable, trade. The Company
      performs an evaluation of its customers' financial condition prior to
      acceptance of contracts and generally does not require collateral.
      Allowances are maintained for potential credit losses however, such losses
      have not been material in the past.

                  Revenue from the Company's largest customer was approximately
      $1,975,000 in 1998. Accounts receivable, trade from this customer as of
      December 31, 1998 was $964,000. No other single customer accounted for a
      material portion of revenue or accounts receivable, trade.

      Marketable securities

                  Marketable securities are comprised of mutual funds and are
      considered trading securities under the provisions of Statement of
      Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments
      in Debt and Equity Securities." Such investments are carried at fair
      value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are included in earnings.

      Inventories

                  Inventories, which consist of raw steel purchased for future
      production, are valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Cost is
      determined on the basis of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Continued)

1 -   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

      Property, plant, and equipment

                  Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost.
      Depreciation and amortization are computed using straight-line and
      accelerated methods.

      Revenue recognition

                  Prior to 1998, the Company recorded revenue using the
      completed contract method of accounting. The Company has experienced a
      significant shift in the size, duration and complexity of contracts with
      customers. During 1998, the Company switched its method of accounting for
      uncompleted contracts to the percentage of completion method. In
      accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, all periods
      presented in these financial statements have been restated to reflect this
      change.

                  Revenues from contracts are primarily recognized on the
      percentage-of-completion method, measured using the cost-to-cost
      methodology. Costs include direct engineering and manufacturing costs,
      applicable overheads, and special tooling and test equipment. Revenues and
      profits on uncompleted contracts are based on the Company's estimates to
      complete and are reviewed periodically, with adjustments recorded in the
      period in which the revisions are made. Provisions for estimated losses on
      uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are
      determined. Progress billings are made according to the terms of the
      contract.

                  The asset "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings
      on uncompleted contracts" represents revenue recognized in excess of
      amounts billed. The liability "Billings in excess of costs and estimated
      earnings on uncompleted contracts" represents billings in excess of
      revenue recognized.

      Advertising and promotion

                  All costs associated with advertising and promoting the
      Company are expensed in the year incurred. Advertising and promotion
      expense was approximately $40,000, $2,000 and $12,000 in 1998, 1997, and
      1996, respectively.

      Income taxes

                  The Company has elected to be taxed for federal and state
      purposes as an S Corporation, whereby income is passed through to the
      stockholders and is taxed at the individual level. Accordingly, no federal
      and only certain state income taxes are provided in the financial
      statements.

      Impairment of long-lived assets

                  The Company reviews the carrying values of certain long-lived
      assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in
      circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be
      recoverable. Where indicated, the carrying value of such assets is reduced
      through a charge to earnings. The adjusted carrying values represent
      management's estimate of the amount expected to be recovered from these
      assets in the future.

      Earnings per share

                  Earnings per share are calculated on the weighted average of
      outstanding shares each year.

      New accounting standards

                  In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
      ("FASB") issued SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which
      established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income
      and its components. This statement requires a separate statement to report
      the components of comprehensive income for each period reported. The
      provisions of this statement are effective for fiscal years beginning
      after December 15, 1997. The adoption of this statement did not impact the

      Company acquired materials, commenced production and collected advance

      design approval by a U.S. regulatory agency. The customer subsequently

      assigned to a third party by the bankruptcy court. The Company contested
      the assignment pending resolution of damage claims asserted under cost
      escalation and stand-by clauses of the contracts. Certain of these claims
      were agreed to in 1997 and a settlement of $300,000 was recorded as
      additional revenue. The remaining claims were settled and approved by the
      bankruptcy court in 1998. Additional revenue of $285,669 was recorded in
      1998 related to this settlement.

                  With these claims settled, the contract assignment and began
      to negotiate completion of the projects. During this process, certain
      contracts were cancelled and others were significantly modified. As the
      contracts were resolved, the Company recorded revenue under the percentage
      of completion method. The accompanying financial statements include the
      following activities related to these contracts:
