                      ACORN HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
               Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
                                  June 30, 1999
                                   (Unaudited)



NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND PURPOSE

Interim financial  statements  reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion
of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the periods. The
1998  balance  sheet has been  derived  from the  audited  financial  statements
contained in the 1998 Annual Report to  Stockholders.  These  interim  financial
statements  conform with the requirements for interim  financial  statements and
consequently do not include all the disclosures  normally  required by generally
accepted accounting principles.  The results for the three months ended June 30,
1999 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.  Reporting  developments  have been  updated  where  appropriate.  In this
connection,  there are no  significant  changes in  disclosures,  except for the
following:

Acorn  Holding  Corp.  filed  an  election  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission to be treated as a business  development company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended,  and operated as such until  November  1997. In
November  1997,  Acorn  Holding  Corp.  withdrew its  election as an  investment
company,  ceased to be a business development company, and commenced business as
an operating company. At that date, the name of the company was changed to Acorn
Holding Corp. The financial  statements presented reflect Acorn Holding Corp. as
an operating company.

NOTE B - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (FASB) issued  Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133 which amends the implementation date of SFAS
No. 133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activity." The
statement   establishes   accounting  and  reporting  standards  for  derivative
instruments,   including  certain  derivative   instruments  imbedded  in  other
contracts, and for hedging activities.  It requires that an entity recognize all
derivatives  as either  assets or  liabilities  in the  statement  of  financial
position and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain  conditions are
met, a derivative may be specifically  designated as a hedge. The accounting for
changes in the fair value of a  derivative  (gains and loses)  depends  upon the
intended use of the  derivative  and  resulting  designation.  The  statement is
effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of the statement.

The  American  Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants   ("AICPA")  issued
Statement of Option ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed  or  Obtained  for  Internal  Use."  The SOP  was  issued  to  provide
authoritative  guidance on the subject of  accounting  for the costs  associated
with the  purchase  or  development  of  computer  software.  The  statement  is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. This statement has
been  implemented  and has no impact  on the  Company's  consolidated  financial
statements.

NOTE C - REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

On April 19,  1999 the  Company  approved a  resolution  to amend the  Company's
certificate  of  incorporation  to decrease the  authorized  common  shares from
approximately  4 million to 1.3  million and to effect a 5-for-2  reverse  stock
split.  Earnings  per share and  weighted  average  shares  outstanding  for all
periods presented have been changed to reflect the 5 for 2 reverse stock split.

NOTE D - Legal Matters

On May 14, 1999, the Chapter 7 Trustee in Bankruptcy for ServiceMax  Tire & Auto
Center of Michigan,  Inc.,  (ServiceMax) filed an avoidance action in the United
States  Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan seeking to recover
$1,750,000  from the Company on account of payments  made to the Company and its
subsidiary, Automotive Industries Inc. (Automotive).

During 1996,  ServiceMax  was forced into Chapter 7 bankruptcy.  ServiceMax is a
wholly owned  subsidiary of ServiceMax  Tire & Auto  Centers,  Inc.  (ServiceMax
Inc.) which is a wholly owed subsidiary the Company.

During  1996,  $1,750,000  was  received by the Company  from a third party with
respect to certain  claims in exchange  for  certain  releases  with  respect to
Service Max Tire & Auto Centers,  of which  $752,0000 was remitted  directing to
the Company and the remaining  balance of $997,500 was remitted to the Company's
subsidiary, Automotive in settlement of outstanding liens and payables.

During 1997, the Company sold the assets and liabilities of Automotive.

ServiceMax Inc. is not included in the consolidated financial statements of the
Company, because the majority owned subsidiary's control does not rest with the
Company.

The  Company  has filed an answer to the  avoidance  action and  intends to
vigorously defend this action

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

         Sales  for  the  three-month  period  ended  June  30,  1999  decreased
$1,037,524 from the three-month  period ended June 30, 1998, while sales for the
six-month  period ended June 30, 1999  decreased  $2,216,085  from the six-month
period ended June 30, 1998. The Company  incurred  operating  losses of $144,424
and  $482,165  for the  three  months  and  six  months  ended  June  30,  1999,
respectively,  as  compared  to  operating  profits of  $160,679  and  $322,032,
respectively,  over the comparable prior year periods.  The principal reason for
the decline in profitability was due to pricing pressures resulting from a lower
demand for the Company's products,  without a corresponding decrease in the cost
of  sales.  The  Company  does not  foresee,  based on its  present  orders,  an
increased demand for its products for the next several months.

         Although  the  business  in which  the  Company  is  engaged  is highly
competitive and cyclical in nature and has been recently  incurring  losses from
operations, the Company believes that it has sufficient short-term and long-term
liquidity  either  from  cash on hand,  credit  arrangements  or cash  flow from
operations.


                                     PART II

subsidiary,  Automotive Industries,  Inc., during 1996 and 1997. The Company has
filed an answer to the avoidance action and will vigorously defend this action.
