                      ACORN HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
               Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
                                 March 31, 1999


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 March 31,
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

In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 133,  "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments  and Hedging  Activity."  SFAS No. 133  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.  SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal  quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999.  Earlier  application is permitted only as of the
beginning  of any  fiscal  quarter.  The  Company  is  currently  reviewing  the
provisions of SFAS No. 133.

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

     Sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 decreased  $1,178,561
from the three-month period ended March 31, 1998. The Company incurred operating
losses of  ($308,304)  as compared to an operating  profit of $161,353  over the
comparable  prior  year  period.   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.  However, it is cautiously  optimistic
that the Company may see an increased demand for its products in the second half
of the 1999 fiscal year.

         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.

ITEM 6.   EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K

     (a)  Exhibits

      Exhibit No. 3 - Certificate of Amendment of  Certificate of  Incorporation
of the Company, filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on April 19, 1999.

      Exhibit No. 27 - Financial Data Schedule

     (b) Reports on Form 8-K:

     There  were no reports on Form 8-K filed by the  Company  filed  during the
quarter ended March 31, 1999.
