                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

September 30, 1999

NOTE 1 -  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Sooner Holdings,  Inc., an Oklahoma  corporation  (Company),  operates primarily
through two of its subsidiaries.  New Directions  Acquisitions 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),  the  subsidiary  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 (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  September  30,  1999,  the
Company  has a  shareholders'  deficit  of  $806,741  and has a working  capital
deficiency of $81,233. 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.

agreement  expires  on April  30,  2017.  Future  minimum  payments  under  this

using a 15% interest rate.

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 September 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 Direction Centers of America,  L.L.C. (New
Directions) and Horizon Lodges of America,  Inc. (HLA) (together the "Sellers").
The Sellers' assets relate to the operation of a community  correction  business
in Oklahoma  City,  Oklahoma.  The  purchase  price for the assets  acquired was
$1,000,000  (the Note),  the assumption of a "royalty" fee for the next 20 years
of at least $6,000 per month due to the  original  permitting  owner,  1,000,000
shares  of  common  stock  of  the  Company,  and  approximately  $1,000,000  in
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 promissory  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  at  September  30, 1999 by  management  by
$320,667 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  September  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,  which  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 become 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
maintaining 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 - September 30, 1999  (unaudited)  compared to
September 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.  Current working capital has been
primarily supplied by the Company's  chairman and president,  by Aztor Holdings,
Inc.  (Aztor),  a  Phoenix,  Arizona  investment  company  or by  Aztor's  other
affiliated companies.

                                September 30,                   Dec. 31, 1998
                                1999            1998            (audited)

Deficiency in working capital      $  (81,233)      $ (243,642)     $ (344,852)
                                   ==========       ==========      ==========

        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 Business 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.  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.

Results of  Operations  - The quarter and nine months ended  September  30, 1999
(unaudited)  compared to the quarter and nine months  ended  September  30, 1998
(unaudited)

        The following table illustrates the Company's revenue mix.

                                    Quarter ended           Nine months ended
                                    September 30,             September 30,
                                  1999         1998         1999         1998
                               ----------   ----------   ----------   ----------

Business Park revenue ......   $   93,379   $   73,047   $  253,582   $  215,943
NDAC revenue ...............      397,004      287,192    1,203,931      376,030
Other revenue ..............         --            748         --          3,928
                               ----------   ----------   ----------   ----------
   Total revenue ...........   $  490,383   $  360,987   $1,457,513   $  595,901
                               ==========   ==========   ==========   ==========

        Total  revenues  increased  $129,396  (36%) and $861,612  (145%) for the
quarter and nine months ended  September  30, 1999  compared to the same quarter
and nine-month  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.  For the quarter ended September 30, 1999 NDAC generated
$397,004 of revenues or 81% of the total revenues for the current period.

        Business Park's revenues  increased  $20,332 (28%) and $37,639 (17%) for
the quarter and nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  compared to the same
quarter and nine-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 of the Business Park. At September 30, 1999 the Business Park was
100%  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.

        NDAC's  revenues  increased  $109,812 (38%) and $827,901  (220%) for the
quarter and nine months ended  September 30, 1999,  compared to the same quarter
and  nine-month  periods in 1998.  The increase for the current period is due to
increased  occupancy at the  correctional  facility.  There is no assurance  the
Company will maintain this occupancy rate.

        Total operating expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September
30,  1999 were  $436,896  and  $1,273,505,  respectively,  as  compared to total
expenses for the comparable 1998 periods of $367,035 and $535,267, respectively.
This  increase  is  related to the  acquisition  of the  community  correctional
business in June 1998. The NDAC subsidiary  accounted for $355,528 or 81% of the
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  nine-month  periods
increased due to the acquisition of the community  correctional business in June
1998.

        Interest  expense  increased  $155,161  (57%) for the nine months  ended
September 30, 1999 over the 1998 period. The amortization of the royalty payable
and the purchase  note in  connection  with the  acquisition  of New  Directions
accounted  for $155,353 of the increase  for the nine months.  In addition,  the
Company assumed approximately  $1,000,000 in liabilities with the acquisition of
the Correctional Business.

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

        The  Company  recorded a net loss for the  nine-month  period of 1999 of
$247,774 as compared to a net loss of $211,787 for the  comparable  1998 period.
The  increase  in net  loss in 1999 was due  primarily  to the  spin-off  of the
Company's Beverages subsidiary.

Capital Expenditures and Commitments

        During the nine months  ending  September  30, 1999,  the Company  spent
approximately   $258,000  on  capital   expenditures   primarily  for  leasehold
improvements  at the Business Park. The Company expects to spend nominal amounts
for the  remainder of the year 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.


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

        In  February  1998,  a  lawsuit  was  filed by one of the  owners of New
Direction  Centers of  America,  L.L.C.  against  the  Company  relating  to the
purchase  of the  community  correctional  business.  On  January  18,  2000,  a
settlement was reached which includes a payment of $76,000.

        The Company's  Business Park  operation  occasionally  has disputes with
tenants  regarding  its lease  agreements.  In the opinion of  management,  such
matters will be resolved  without  material  effect on the Company's  results of
operations or financial condition.
