RANOR, INC.

RESTATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
TOGETHER WITH AUDITORS' REPORT

<PAGE>

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Standard Automotive Corp.:

We have audited the accompanying restated balance sheet of Ranor, Inc. as of
December 31, 1998, and the related restated statement of income and retained
earnings and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1998 (see Note 1). 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 Ranor, Inc. as of December 31,
1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 1998, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The supplementary schedule on page 6 is presented
for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements. This information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

RANOR, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Nature of Business

Ranor, Inc. (the "Company") is a manufacturer specializing in the fabrication
and machining of high tolerance steel weldments to customer specifications. 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, maritime, aerospace, power generation and medical technology
industries.

Restatement of Financial Statements

The Company has restated its previously filed 1998 financial statements. The
nature of this restatement is due to a misapplication of an accounting principle
- the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant's Statement of Position
81-1 "Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain
Production-Type Contracts" - ("SOP 81-1"). Accordingly, the Company believes
that the 1998 financial statements, as restated, are fairly stated in accordance
with the provisions of SOP 81-1.

This restatement has resulted in the following effect on net sales, net income
and earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 1998:

                                                              Basic and Diluted
                                Net Sales       Net Income    Earnings Per Share
                                ---------       ----------    ------------------

      As originally reported   $ 17,713,802    $  4,024,758      $4,024.76
      Effect of restatement      (1,756,222)       (437,713)       (437.71)
                               ------------    ------------      ---------

      As restated              $ 15,957,580    $  3,587,045      $3,587.05
                               ============    ============      =========

This restatement also resulted in net sales from 1997 of approximately $862,000
being deferred into 1998 and $3,778,000 of billings in excess of costs and
estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts as of December 31, 1998.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue using either the completed contract method of
accounting or the percentage of completion method of accounting, depending upon
the specific nature and length of a given contract. The Company specifically
evalutes the best measure of percentage of completion accounting and accordingly
has determined that either the units of delivery or labor-to-labor methodology
is the best indication of completion. Costs include raw materials made to
specification, direct engineering and manufacturing costs, applicable overheads,
and special tooling and test equipment. Revenues and earnings 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts
receivable. At times, the Company maintains deposits in federally insured
financial institutions which may be in excess of federally insured limits of
$100,000. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations, generally does not
require collateral, and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, if
necessary, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of customers,
historical trends and other information.

For the year ended December 31, 1998, 3 customers accounted for 14%, 11% and 10%
of total revenue, respectively. As of December 31, 1998, 3 customers accounted
for 37%, 21% and 10% of total accounts receivable, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments." This pronouncement requires that the Company calculate the fair
value of financial instruments and include this additional information in the
notes to financial statements when the fair value is different than the book
value of those financial instruments. At December 31, 1998, the carrying value
of all financial instruments approximated fair value.

Marketable Securities

The Company classifies its investments in marketable securities as "trading" in
accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities." Such securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized
gains and losses included in earnings. Gains and losses on the disposition of
securities are recognized on the specific identification method in the period in
which they occur. As of December 31, 1998, these trading securities consisted of
stock funds with an aggregate fair value of $520,321 based upon quoted market
prices. For the year ended December 31, 1998, gross unrealized holding gains for
these securities totaled $48,522 and are included in earnings on the statement
of income.

Inventory

Inventory is comprised of raw steel purchased for future production and is
stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization
are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets which are as follows:

   Building and improvements            15-35 years
   Leasehold improvements               15-25 years
   Machinery and equipment              3-10 years
   Furniture and fixtures               5-10 years

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue
Code and, accordingly, is not subject to Federal income taxes and pays certain
state income taxes. The shareholders include their pro-rata share of the
Company's taxable income on their personal tax returns. The Company makes
distributions to the shareholders for any tax liability resulting from the
inclusion of the Company's taxable income in their personal income tax returns.


                                                                               2
<PAGE>

RANOR, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, "Accounting For
Income Taxes". This pronouncement establishes financial accounting and reporting
standards for the effects of income taxes that result from the Company's
activities during the current and preceding years. It requires an asset and
liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.
Since the Company is taxed as a subchapter "S" corporation, the Statement has no
impact on the Company's reported Federal income tax. The effect of this
statement on state corporate income taxes is not material to the Company's
financial statements.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."
This statement establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the
impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill
related to those assets to be held and used, and for long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed. Management has performed a
review of all long-lived assets and has determined that no impairment of the
respective carrying values has occurred as of December 31, 1998.

Comprehensive Income

The Company complies with the provisions of SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," which requires companies to report all changes in equity
during a period, except those resulting from investment by owners and
distribution to owners, in the financial statements for the period in which they
are recognized. During 1998, the Company's operations did not give rise to items
includable in comprehensive income which were not already included in net
income. Therefore, the Company's comprehensive income is the same as its net
income for the period presented.

Use of 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 reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
