                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1999

1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
presented. All adjustments made are of a normal recurring nature.

         While the Company believes that the disclosures presented herein are
adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these
unaudited condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1999 ("fiscal 1999")
as filed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

         Operating results for the three months ended May 31, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
February 29, 2000.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" which is
presently required to be adopted in years beginning after June 15, 1999. SCPI
does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have a significant
effect on its financial position or results of operations.

3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

         In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, SCPI elected to change its method
of inventory valuation from the last-in, first-out, (LIFO) method to the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. As no change in the LIFO reserve was made
during the first three quarters of fiscal 1999, there was no effect on the May
31, 1998 condensed statement of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

         Steel City Products, Inc. ("SCPI") is a special, limited purpose,
majority-owned subsidiary of Oakhurst Company, Inc. ("Oakhurst"). SCPI is
expected to concentrate on its historical distribution business, while any
future growth and expansion opportunities are expected to be pursued by one or
more subsidiaries of Oakhurst. Through Oakhurst's ownership of SCPI, primarily
in the form of preferred stock, Oakhurst retains substantially all the value of
SCPI, and receives substantially all of the benefit of operations through
dividends on the preferred stock. Oakhurst's ownership of SCPI is designed to
facilitate the preservation and utilization of SCPI's and Oakhurst's net
operating tax loss carry-forwards which amount to approximately $154 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         In addition to cash derived from operations, SCPI's liquidity and
financing requirements are determined principally by the working capital needed
to support its level of business, together with the need for capital
expenditures and the cash required to repay its debt. SCPI also receives cash
payments pursuant to a note receivable from Oakhurst, and from time to time,
repayments of advances to Oakhurst. Interest is charged to Oakhurst on advances
made up to the amount of SCPI's outstanding revolving debt balance. SCPI's
working capital needs fluctuate primarily due to the amounts of inventory it
carries which can change seasonally, the size and timeliness of payment of
receivables from its customers to which from time to time SCPI grants extended
payment terms for their seasonal inventory builds, and the amount of credit
extended to SCPI by its suppliers. SCPI participates in a cash concentration
system together with another subsidiary of Oakhurst. Available cash that is
transferred to Oakhurst is reflected as an addition to the advances to Oakhurst.

         At May 31, 1999, SCPI's debt consisted primarily of revolving debt of
approximately $2.4 million which is offset entirely by advances receivable from
Oakhurst that bear interest at the same rate as the revolving debt; capital
lease obligations incurred for the purchase of computer and warehouse equipment;
a low-interest subordinated loan incurred for leasehold improvements; and notes
payable that were issued in connection with the settlement of certain contingent
liabilities related to SCPI's former retail division.

         Oakhurst and certain of its subsidiaries, including SCPI, have
available financing under a revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") from an
institutional lender up to a maximum of $7 million, subject to a borrowing base
that is calculated according to defined levels of the subsidiaries' accounts
receivable and inventories. At May 31, 1999, the aggregate borrowing base under
the Revolver was $5.6 million. In March 1999, the Revolver was extended to April
2000 and was amended to (i) increase certain borrowing rate percentages at SCPI,
(ii) increase the interest rate to Citibank N.A. base rate plus 2% and (iii)
amend the financial covenants to include a minimum level of Earnings Before
Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"). The Revolver provides
for subsequent renewal terms of one year each upon payment of a renewal fee of
0.5% of the entire line, unless terminated as provided for in the agreement.
Management believes that the Revolver will provide adequate funding for SCPI's
working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months, assuming no
material deterioration in current sales levels or gross profit margin, and
continuation of normal levels of supplier credit.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

         The Year 2000 issue concerns the potential exposures related to the
automated generation of business and financial misinformation resulting from the
use of computer programs which have been written using two digits, rather than
four, to define the applicable year of business transactions.

         In fiscal 1999, SCPI acquired a new, integrated, Year 2000 compliant
computer system to completely replace its old information technology system. The
Company is in the process of implementing the system which is now expected to be
completed in September, 1999. There were no critical noninformation technology
systems identified which are not Year 2000 compliant. The Company's Year 2000
plan also includes contacting its major suppliers and other significant third
parties with which it does business to obtain their assurance of Year 2000
compliance. This phase of the Company's Year 2000 plan is expected to be
completed in July, 1999.

         Including the cost of the new computer system, which will significantly
enhance its information systems, SCPI has spent to date approximately $220,000
on the Year 2000 issue and believes that the remaining potential cost related to
the Year 2000 issue will be less than $25,000.

         Based on correspondence with its customers and suppliers, SCPI believes
that only minor and temporary interruptions in service may be experienced by
itself, its customers or its suppliers regarding Year 2000 issues. In the worst
case, SCPI would be able to continue to conduct its business through the use of
manual systems.

         From time to time the information provided by the Company or statements
made by its employees may contain so-called "forward-looking" information that
involves risks and uncertainties. In particular, statements contained in this
Item 2 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations," which are not historical facts (including, but not
limited to statements concerning anticipated sales, profit levels, customers and
cash flows) are forward-looking statements. The Company's actual future results
may differ significantly from those stated in any forward-looking statements.
Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to the
factors discussed above as well as the accuracy of the Company's internal
estimates of revenue and operating expense levels. Each of these factors and
others are discussed from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange
Commission filings.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

         As of May 31, 1999, there had been no material changes in the Company's
financial condition from February 28, 1999, discussed in Item 7 of the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 1999.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Operations include the results of SCPI's operating division, Steel City
Products, a distributor of automotive parts and accessories and of non-food pet
supplies, headquartered in McKeesport, Pennsylvania.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1999 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1998

         Sales in the first quarter of the current year increased by $770,000
compared with the first quarter of the prior year. Sales to existing automotive
customers increased by $384,000 due primarily to the addition of new stores
through an acquisition by one major customer. Sales to new automotive customers
totaled $231,000 for the quarter.


                                      -8-

<PAGE>   9

         Sales of non-food pet products totaled $562,000, an increase of
$155,000 compared with the first quarter of the prior year, due primarily to
increased sales to existing customers.

         Gross profits increased by $257,000 in the first quarter of the current
year compared with the first quarter of the prior year, due to the higher sales
volume combined with higher margins earned on automotive products. Some of the
increase in gross profits was offset by an increase of $22,000 in buying and
occupancy expenses, resulting mainly from higher depreciation expense, in turn,
due to the purchase of equipment in fiscal 1999 and to increased warehouse
expenses resulting from the higher sales volume.

         Operating, selling and administrative expenses reflected an increase of
$53,000 in the first quarter compared with the prior year. Operating expenses
were higher by $16,000 due to additional overtime needed to fill orders
promptly. This increase was offset by $13,000 from lower selling expenses as a
result of reduced sales staff levels. Administrative expenses increased by
$49,000 due mainly to additional expenses related to the implementation of the
new computer system.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

         SCPI is exposed to certain market risks from transactions that are
entered into during the normal course of business. The Company's policies do not
permit active trading of, or speculation in, derivative financial instruments.
The Company's primary market risk exposure relates to interest rate risk. SCPI
manages its interest rate risk by attempting to balance its exposure between
fixed and variable rates while attempting to minimize its interest costs.
