NOTE 1 -  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and operations
- ---------------------------

        Sooner Holdings, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (the "Company"), operates
primarily  through two of its  subsidiaries.  New Directions  Acquisition  Corp.
(NDAC) owns and  operates a  community  correction  business  in Oklahoma  City,
Oklahoma and Charlie O Business Park Incorporated  (Business Park) is engaged in
the  ownership  and rental of a business park in Oklahoma  City,  Oklahoma.  The
Company also owns 100% of SD Properties,  Inc.  (SDPI) which acts as a marketing
representative  for construction  contractors to develop business  opportunities
for those  contractors  for a fee.  Effective  January  15,  1999,  the  Company
completed the spin-off of Charlie O Beverages,  Inc.  (Beverages) which operated
the original in-home soda fountain business.

Basis of presentation
- ---------------------

        The unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements presented herein have
been  prepared  by  the  Company,  without  audit,  pursuant  to the  rules  and
regulations  for interim  financial  information  and the  instructions  to Form
10-QSB  and  Regulation  S-B.  Accordingly,  certain  information  and  footnote
disclosures  normally  included in financial  statements  prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. These unaudited
consolidated  financial  statements  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form  10-KSB for the  fiscal  year ended  December  31,  1998 (the "1998 Form
10-KSB").  In the opinion of management,  the unaudited  consolidated  financial
statements  reflect all  adjustments  (consisting of normal  recurring  accruals
only) which are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position,
results  of  operations,  and  changes  in cash flow of the  Company.  Operating
results for interim periods are not necessarily  indicative of the results which
may be expected for the entire year.

Management Plans
- ----------------

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared contemplating
continuation  of the  Company as a going  concern.  The  Company  has  sustained
recurring  operating  losses in recent years and is expected to need  additional
amounts of working capital for its operations. At June 30, 1999, the Company has
a  shareholders'  deficit of $716,428 and has a working  capital  deficiency  of
$32,350. In view of these matters,  realization of a major portion of the assets
is  dependent  upon  continued  operations  of the  Company,  which  in  turn is
dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing  requirements and the
success of its future operations.  Management  believes that its plans to revise
the Company's  operating and financial  requirements  as described more fully in
the 1998 Form 10-KSB provide the Company the  opportunity to continue as a going
concern. However, there can be no assurance that these plans will be successful.

Principles of consolidation
- ---------------------------

        The unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements have been prepared on
the basis of generally accepted  accounting  principles and include the accounts
of Sooner  Holdings,  Inc. and its  subsidiaries.  All significant  intercompany
transactions have been eliminated.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        In  February  1998,  a lawsuit  was filed by one of the  owners of NDLLC
against the Company  relating to the purchase of New Directions (see Note 8). On
January 18, 2000 a settlement was reached which includes a payment of $76,000 by
NDAC. This amount is included in accrued liabilities at June 30, 1999.

        The  Company is  involved in certain  other  administrative  proceedings
arising in the normal  course of business.  In the opinion of  management,  such
matters,  including  the  lawsuit  described  above,  will be  resolved  without
material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.


NOTE 8 - ACQUISITION

        Effective June 1, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of all the
assets and certain liabilities of New Directions Centers of America, L.L.C. (New
Directions)  related to the  operation  of a  community  correction  business in
Oklahoma  City,  Oklahoma.  The purchase  price for the assets  acquired was the
issuance of 1,000,000  shares of common stock of the  Company,  $1,000,000  in a
note  payable  (the Note) and the  assumption  of  approximately  $1,464,000  of
liabilities.

The  acquisition of these assets was accounted as a purchase in accordance  with
Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 16, with the cost allocated to the net
assets acquired based on their estimated fair values.  The operations of the New
Directions  business  have been  included  in the  financial  statements  of the
Company from the date of acquisition.

The assets acquired included a $227,000  Certificate of Deposit and the facility
and  equipment  which the  business  operates  from  which is zoned for use as a
community correction center valued at $450,000.  Approximately $1,753,000 of the
purchase price was allocated to contract  rights  acquired.  The contract rights
relate  to an  annually  renewable  contract  with the  Oklahoma  Department  of
Corrections.  This asset is being  amortized  over a nine-year  period  which is
management's estimate of the expected life of the contract.

The Note issued to New Directions bears interest of 10% per annum with principal
and interest due in three years.  The face value of the Note of  $1,331,000  has
been  discounted  by  management  by  $451,667  using  a 15%  effective  rate of
interest.


NOTE 9 - DISCONTINUED OPERATION

Effective  January 15, 1999, the Company spun-off its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,
Charlie O Beverages to all the Company's  shareholders.  Beverages  operated the
original  in-home  soda  fountain  business.  Beverages  has been for sale since
December  1996 at which time the Company  wrote-down  the assets of Beverages to
their net realizable  value. The Company issued 2,600,000 shares of common stock
of Beverages,  which was distributed to the Company's  shareholders at one share
of Beverages for each 3.2582 shares of the Company.  The Company recorded a loss
of $17,301 at June 30, 1999 with regard to this transaction.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Introduction

        The  following  discussion  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the
Company's financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form
10-QSB report.  In addition,  the  discussion of the Company's  expected Plan of
Operation,  included  in the 1998 Form  10-KSB,  is  incorporated  herein in its
entirety as the  discussion  of the Plan of Operation as required by Item 303(a)
of Regulation S-B.

Plan of Operation

        Effective June 1, 1998, NDAC completed the acquisition of the assets and
certain liabilities of New Directions related to the operation of a  community
correction business.   NDAC runs a community  correction  center, commonly known
as a halfway house, that currently has  approximately  140 beds available but is
licensed to provide up to 300 beds.  NDAC  operates  under  a  contract with the
Oklahoma Department of Corrections, which provides clients to NDAC.

        With the NDAC acquisition, the Company intends to shift its growth focus
to  the  community   corrections   business  and  either  liquidate  or  totally
de-emphasize its other operating subsidiaries.

The Community Correction Business

        The facility operated by NDAC is a non-secure  residential  facility for
adult male and female offenders  transitioning from institutional to independent
living. Offenders are eligible for these programs based upon the type of offense
committed and behavior while incarcerated in prison.  Offenders  generally spend
the last six months of their sentence in a community  corrections  program.  The
goal and  mission  of NDAC's  community  corrections  business  is to reduce the
likelihood of an inmate  committing an offense after release by assisting in the
reunification process with family and the community. Offenders must be employed,
participate in substance abuse programs, submit to frequent random drug testing,
and pay a predetermined percentage of their earnings to the government to offset
the cost of the  program.  The  Company  supervises  these  activities  and also
provides life skills training, case management, home confinement supervision and
family reunification programs at its facilities.

        NDAC's   facility   has   received   accreditation   from  the  American
Correctional  Association (the ACA), the governing body for  accreditation.  The
ACA has 25 mandatory  standards and 263 non-mandatory  standards regarding staff
working  conditions and  correctional  facility living  conditions.  A community
correction  facility that is ACA accredited can take private  clients as well as
Federal clients.

Business Strategy

        The Company's  business strategy is to be come a leading developer and a
manager of a quality privatized  community correction  facilities,  initially in
Oklahoma and then expanding  interstate.  Management intends on seeking a larger
community corrections business by expanding into other zoned facilities,  either
internally  and through  acquisitions.  The  Company  intends on  obtaining  and
maintains ACA accreditation for all of its facilities.

        The Company will operate each facility under its management. The Company
will also either  directly or through  subcontractors,  provide  health care and
food service. In the future, the facilities may offer special rehabilitation and
educational  programs,  such as academic or vocational  education,  job and life
skills training, counseling and work and recreational programs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - June 30, 1999 (unaudited) compared to June 30,
1998 (unaudited)

        The  Company  has had severe  liquidity  problems  for the last  several
years.  The  Company's  liquidity is  reflected in the table below,  which shows
comparative deficiencies in working capital.

                                             June 30,             Dec. 31, 1998
                                      1999             1998         (audited)
                                      ----             ----          -------

Deficiency in working capital     $  (32,350)      $ (243,642)     $ (344,852)
                                  ==========       ==========      ==========

        Although the Company's working capital is negative, the Company has been
able to meet its obligations as a result of the financial  support received from
certain of the Company's related parties. The Company's current working capital,
which  has  been  provided  in the  form of notes  payable,  has been  primarily
supplied by either the Company's  chairman and president,  or by Aztor Holdings,
Inc. ("Aztor"). Aztor has agreed to restructure a majority of its liabilities as
part of the NDAC acquisition.

        Exclusive of funds  required for debt  repayment,  the Company  believes
that it can borrow any additional funds from its related parties to maintain its
operations, although there can be no assurance that such funds will be available
when  needed.  In the  event  that  the  Company  cannot  refinance,  or  obtain
forbearance on its current  liabilities or on its long-term  liabilities as they
come due, the Company will undoubtedly  face further severe  liquidity  problems
which  may lead to  litigation,  the  inability  to  transact  business,  and/or
foreclosure actions being initiated against a majority of the Company's assets.

        In June 1999,  the Company  refinanced the debt on CO Park. The debt was
replaced  by a single  note in the amount of  $2,500,000  payable to a bank with
interest at 8.8% that matures in June 2009.

        As discussed  above,  the Company acquired certain assets related to the
operation of a community correction business subsequent to the quarter-end.  The
purchase price for the assets  acquired was the issuance of 1,000,000  shares of
common stock of the Company,  $1,000,000 in a note payable and the assumption of
approximately $1,464,000 of liabilities. The note issued to New Directions bears
interest of 10% per annum and is due in three years.

        The  Company  believes  the  operations  of  the  community  corrections
business  will be cash flow  positive and be  profitable  and that the cash flow
from the new business will be sufficient to service the debt payments  under the
note and the  mortgage  payment on the  facility.  The Company  also  intends to
continue  the  rehabilitation  of the  facility  in order to  bring  the  inmate
occupancy up to 300 beds. In the event that cash flow is insufficient to satisfy
the Company's needs, management believes that it can borrow any additional funds
from its related parties to maintain its operations.

                           --------      --------      --------      --------
     Total revenue ..      $500,012      $163,099      $967,130      $234,914
                           ========      ========      ========      ========

        Total  revenues  for the  quarter  and six months  ended  June 30,  1999
increased  by  $336,913  (206%)  and  $732,216  (312%),  respectively  over  the
comparable  periods in 1998.  This  increase was related to the  Company's  NDAC
subsidiary.  In  June  1998  the  Company  acquired  through  NDAC  a  community
correctional facility.

        Business  Park's revenues  increased  $9,139 (12%) and $17,307 (12%) for
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to the same quarter and
six month periods in 1998. This increase is attributable to the occupancy by one
tenant in May 1999 of 19,000 square feet or 15% of the total square footage.  At
June 30,  1999 the  Business  Park was 97%  occupied.  Losses of  tenants in the
future could affect future operations and financial  position due to the cost of
new leasehold  improvements  to attract new tenants,  increased  leasing fees or
lower rent revenue due to vacancy. There is no assurance the Company will return
to its historically high occupancy rate.

        Total operating  expenses  increased $351,800 (286%) and $668,377 (397%)
for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to the same quarter
and six-month  periods in 1998.  This increase is related to the  acquisition of
the community  correctional business in June 1998. The NDAC subsidiary accounted
for $330,082 or 94% of the increase in total operating  expenses for the current
period. The amortization of the NDAC intangible asset resulted in an increase in
depreciation  and  amortization  expense in the 1999 periods over the comparable
1998 periods. In addition general and administrative expense for the quarter and
six  months  periods   increased  due  to  the   acquisition  of  the  community
correctional business in June 1998.

        Interest expense  increased by $58,324 (68%) and $143,954 (102%) for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the comparable periods
in 1998,  primarily due to the NDAC subsidiary.  The amortization of the royalty
payable  and  the  purchase  note  in  connection  with  the  NDAC   acquisition
represented  $51,238  or 88% of the  increase  during  the  current  period.  In
addition,  the Company assumed approximately  $1,000,000 in liabilities with the
acquisition of the Correctional Business.

        Loss  from  discontinued  operations  relates  to  the  spin-off  of the
Company's subsidiary, Beverages.

        The Company recorded net loss for the quarter of $104,382 as compared to
a net loss of $47,166 for the comparable 1998 period.  This increase in net loss
in 1999 was due to the  acquisition  of the community  correctional  business in
June 1998.  The  increase  in  revenues  from NDAC was offset by an  increase in
operating  expenses also  attributable to the NDAC subsidiary.  Interest expense
was also up due to increased borrowings related to the acquisition.

Capital Expenditures and Commitments

        During the quarter  and six months  ending  June 30,  1999,  the Company
spent  approximately  $220,000 on capital  expenditures  primarily for leasehold
improvements  at the Business Park.  The Company  expects to spend an additional
$20,000  for  leasehold  improvements  on its  Business  Park  and  correctional
facility.

Factors that may affect future results

        A number of  uncertainties  exist that may affect the  Company's  future
operating results. These include the uncertain general economic conditions,  the
ongoing support of the related parties,  the ability of the Company to refinance
its notes payable on satisfactory  terms,  and the Company's  ability to acquire
sufficient  funding to sustain its  operations  and develop  new  businesses.  A
majority of these issues directly or indirectly  relate to the Company's ability
to sell additional equity or debt. The Company and all its subsidiaries have had
unsuccessful operating histories and have been consistently  unprofitable and if
this trend  continues the Company,  or any  subsidiary,  may have to seek formal
court protection from creditors.

Forward-looking statements

This Form 10-QSB,  including all documents  incorporated by reference,  includes
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of
historical facts included in this Form 10-QSB (and in documents  incorporated by
reference),   including  without  limitation,   statements  under  "Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation"  regarding the Company's financial
position,  business  strategy  and plans and  objectives  of  management  of the
Company for future  operations,  are  forward-looking  statements.  Although the
Company  believes  that  the  expectations  reflected  in  such  forward-looking
statements are reasonable,  it can give no assurance that such expectations will
prove to have been  correct.  All  subsequent  written and oral  forward-looking
statements  attributable  to the  Company  or  persons  acting on its behalf are
expressly qualified in their entirety by this section.

settlement was reached which includes a payment of $76,000.

        The  Company is  involved in certain  other  administrative  proceedings
arising in the normal  course of business.  In the opinion of  management,  such
matters,  including  the  lawsuit  described  above,  will be  resolved  without
material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.
