                             (Dollars in thousands)

NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The condensed financial statements have been prepared by Earl Scheib, Inc.
(the "Company") without audit, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted or condensed. It is management's belief
that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading and reflect all significant adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position
and results of operations for the periods presented. The results of operations
for the periods presented should not be considered as necessarily indicative of
operations for the full year due to the seasonality of the Company's business.
It is recommended that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April
30, 1999 ("Fiscal 1999").

NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES

    In the first quarter of the fiscal year ended April 30, 1997 ("Fiscal
1997"), the Company received federal income tax refunds of $1,696 resulting from
the application of net operating loss carrybacks. Approximately $448 of the tax
refunds relate to the benefit of carrying back net operating losses to periods
for which the tax rates exceeded the current federal income tax rate. The $448
refund relating to the difference in federal tax rates is currently deferred on
the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

    In February 1999, the Company received a Notice of Disallowance from the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") disallowing a refund from a net operating loss
carryback received in Fiscal 1997. The amount of the 1997 refund was $1,696. The
Company is protesting the IRS's position. The refund of the net operating loss,
and substantially all of the interest through July 31, 1999 relating to the
disallowance, are accrued in the Company's First Quarter of Fiscal 2000
consolidated financial statements. If the Company does not sustain its tax
position with the IRS, the net operating loss carryforward could be used to
offset federal income taxes in future years.

NOTE 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    The Company is involved in several legal proceedings and claims as well as
environmental matters, some of which arise in the ordinary course of its
business. Management believes that the amount of ultimate liability with respect
to these legal matters should not materially affect the Company's consolidated
financial statements.

NOTE 5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing
income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the
potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the
issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. The
only potential dilutive securities are outstanding stock options issued to the
Company's Board of Directors, management and employees.


                                       5
<PAGE>   6

    The weighted average number of shares used to calculate basic earnings per
share was 4,359,000 and 4,659,000 for the quarters ended July 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The weighted average number of shares used to calculate diluted
earnings per share was 4,360,000 and 4,777,000 for the quarters ended July 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively.



           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             (Dollars in thousands)

QUARTER ENDED JULY 31, 1999 ("FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2000") COMPARED TO THE
QUARTER ENDED JULY 31, 1998 ("FIRST QUARTER OF 1999")

     Net sales for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2000 decreased by $144 or 0.9%
compared to the First Quarter of 1999. This decrease consisted of same shop
(shops open one year or more) sales decreases of $1,034, or 6.7%, partially
offset by the sales from an additional net 11 shops (20 new shops opened less 9
shops closed since the First Quarter of 1999). The decrease in same shop sales
in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2000 consisted of lower car volume, partially
offset by a higher average invoice price.

    Gross profit dollars in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2000 decreased by $771
compared to the First Quarter of 1999 due mainly to the decrease in sales
discussed above. Gross profit margins decreased from 32.6% to 28.0% due
primarily to the reduction in same shop sales, higher material costs related to
the Company's new Euro-Paint(R) and higher depreciation and other expenses
related to new shop expansion.

    Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $169 in the First
Quarter of Fiscal 2000 compared to the First Quarter of 1999. The dollar
increase is mainly due to increased insurance expense and administrative
expenses associated with the expanded fleet department and new shop expansion.

    Other income consists of gains or losses from sales of excess real estate
and net interest income or expense. Net interest expense was $125 in the First
Quarter of Fiscal 2000 compared to a $5 net interest income in the First Quarter
of 1999. The increase in net interest expense in the First Quarter of 2000
relates primarily to interest accrued on the potential disallowance of a net
operating loss carryback and interest accrued on the life insurance loans.

    In the First Quarter of Fiscal 2000 and 1999, the Company provided for
income taxes at the statutory rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's cash requirements are based upon its seasonal working capital
needs and capital requirements for new shops, replacements and improvements. The
first and second quarters, and occasionally the fourth quarter, usually have
positive cash flow from operations, while the third and occasionally the fourth
quarters are net users of cash.

    As of July 31, 1999, the Company had current assets of $6,529 and current
liabilities of $7,883 for a net working capital deficit of $1,354. During the
First Quarter of Fiscal 2000, net cash provided by operations was $488, slightly
better than the First Quarter of 1999.

    In the First Quarter of Fiscal 2000, the Company had capitalized
expenditures of $968, which are included in the $3.2 million of cash
requirements described in the paragraph below, financed through cash flow from
operations. The Company expects that future cash flow from operations will be
enhanced by these capital additions.

     The Company's long-term financial obligations consist of its deferred
management loan with a midwest bank compensation plan, loans against various
life insurance policies, a loan with a midwest bank secured by a long-term
receivable, and three minor capital leases. During the fiscal year ending April
30, 2000 ("Fiscal 2000"), the Company plans to open up to 15 new shops
(depending upon the availability of locations) and perform various capital
improvements for an estimated cost of $3.2 million.

    In February 1999, the Company received a Notice of Disallowance from the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") disallowing a refund from a net operating loss
carryback received in Fiscal 1997. The amount of the 1997 refund was $1,696. The
Company is protesting the IRS's position. The refund of the net operating loss,
and substantially all of the interest through July 31, 1999 relating


                                       6
<PAGE>   7

to the disallowance, are accrued in the Company's First Quarter of Fiscal 2000
consolidated financial statements. If the Company does not sustain its tax
position with the IRS, the net operating loss carryforward could be used to
offset federal income taxes in future years.

    In Fiscal 1998, the Board of Directors announced that it had authorized the
repurchase of up to 500,000 shares which is approximately 11% of the Company's
common stock outstanding. The share purchase plan authorizes the Company to make
purchases from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated
transactions and that the purchases will be dependent on market conditions and
availability of shares. No shares were purchased in the First Quarter of Fiscal
2000. To date, the Company has purchased a total of 321,000 shares at a cost of
$2,031. The Company currently has no plans to repurchase additional shares

    In Fiscal 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with its primary bank
for a two-year $4,000 unsecured line of credit. The Company is exposed to
interest rate risk under this line of credit as borrowings bear interest at the
bank's prime rate or LIBOR, as defined. As of July 31, 1999, there were no
borrowings under the line of credit; however, it is anticipated that the Company
will draw on the line of credit during Fiscal 2000.

    The Company has 71 parcels of unencumbered real estate, including the
Company's headquarters and paint factory, which could be either sold or used as
security to obtain outside financing. The Company believes that it has the
liquidity and capital resources to meet its cash needs for the immediate future.


                 INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND "YEAR 2000" COMPLIANCE

    As discussed in the Company's Fiscal 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the
Company has completed most of its Year 2000 conversion and is proceeding with
the conversion of some minor subsystems. The Company anticipates that these
conversions will be completed by December 31, 1999. At that time the Company
believes that its systems will be Year 2000 compliant; however, in this regard,
the Company is relying upon representations made by its software and hardware
vendors most of whom are large well known international companies.

    The Company has been in communication with major suppliers, financial
institutions, insurers and others with whom it conducts business to determine
that they will be Year 2000 compliant. The Company has received representations
from these outside parties indicating they believe they currently are or will be
Year 2000 compliant prior to the end of calendar 1999. There can be no
assurance, however, that the systems of third parties on which the Company's
systems rely will be timely converted or that any such failure to convert by
another company would not have an adverse effect on the Company's systems.

    During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2000, Year 2000 costs were not material
and it is anticipated that future Year 2000 issues will not have a material
impact on the Company's business, operations or financial condition.

    The above discussion regarding costs and risks is based on the Company's
best current estimates given information that is currently available to it, and
is subject to change.

                                 B. DEFINITIONS.

         For purposes of the Note, the following terms have the following
meanings:

         "CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS" shall be determined on a consolidated basis
for Borrower and the Subsidiaries and shall mean the sum of (a) net income
earned over the twelve month period ending on the date of determination, plus
(b) amortization of intangible assets, plus (c) interest expense, plus (d)
depreciation expensed during the twelve month period ending on the date of
determination.

         "SUBORDINATED DEBT" shall mean indebtedness of Borrower or any

         "SUBSIDIARY" shall mean any corporation, the majority of whose voting
shares are at any time owned, directly or indirectly by Borrower and/or by one
or more Subsidiaries.

         "TANGIBLE NET WORTH" shall mean the total of all assets appearing on a

         "TOTAL SENIOR LIABILITIES" shall mean, as of any date of determination,
the amount of all obligations that should be reflected as a liability on a
consolidated balance sheet of Borrower and the Subsidiaries prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied,
less Subordinated Debt.

                       C. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

         The following additional terms and conditions shall also apply to the
Note:

1.   FEES.  Borrower shall pay to CNB a non-refundable fee equal to $15,000.00
     [3/8% of the original principal amount of the Note], upon any subsequent
     renewal.

2.   ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION. Due to the environmentally sensitive nature
     of the industry in which Borrower is principally engaged and upon which CNB
     will rely as its primary source of repayment, and in consideration of CNB
     extending credit to Borrower, Borrower has agreed to indemnify CNB against
     any claims that may arise as a result of Borrower's business activities
     that are environmental in nature and for which CNB may be named as a liable
     party.

     Borrower agrees that it shall indemnify and hold harmless CNB, its parent
     company, subsidiaries and all of their respective directors, officers,
     employees, agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns from and against any
     loss, damage, cost, expense, or liability directly of indirectly arising
     out of or attributable to the use, generation, manufacture, production,
     storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal, or presence of a
     hazardous substance on, under, or about Borrower's property or operations
     or property leased to Borrower, including but not limited to attorneys'
     fees (including the reasonable estimate of the allocated cost of in-house
     counsel and staff). For these purposes, the term "hazardous substances"
     means any substance which is or becomes designated as "hazardous" or
     "toxic" under any Federal, state, or local law. This indemnity shall
     survive repayment of Borrower's obligations to CNB.

3.   YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE. Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

     3.1       Borrower has adopted a plan, appropriate to its business or
               industry, to insure that its computer software is Year 2000
               Compliant. For the purpose of this letter, "Year 2000 Compliant"
               means that dates occurring on and after January 1, 2000 will be
               recognized correctly by such software and not misinterpreted as a
               date occurring prior to January 1, 2000.

     3.2       Borrower has or intends to develop an action plan to deal with
               significant disruption in its business which might be anticipated
               in the event of foreseen or unforeseen failures of its computer
               systems or its production and manufacturing equipment to be Year
               2000 Compliant.
