ACORN HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
September 30, 1998
NOTE 1 - 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
1997 balance sheet has been derived from the audited financial statements
contained in the 1997 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 nine months ended September
30, 1998 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 2 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
A. 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.
B. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997.
This new standard requires entities presenting a complete set of financial
statements to include details of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income
consists of net income or loss for the current period and income, expenses,
gains, and losses that bypass the income statement and are reported
directly in a separate component of equity. The adoption of SFAS No. 130
will not have a material effect on the presentation of the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, the Company completed the
divestiture of all of its major operating assets other than Recticon
Enterprises, Inc. (its principal subsidiary) ("Recticon") and, on November 4,
1997, pursuant to the approval of the Company's stockholders, withdrew its
election with the Securities and Exchange Commission to be treated as a Business
Development Company under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, the Company will be
operating in the foreseeable future as a holding company with one wholly-owned
subsidiary, Recticon.
Sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 1998 decreased
$172,163 from the three-month period ended September 30, 1997, while sales for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 increased $72,202 from the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1997. Operating profits for the three
months and nine-months ended September 30, 1998 decreased $275,523 and $169,200
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. 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.
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. The business in which the Company is engaged is highly competitive
and cyclical in nature. Therefore, the reported financial information may not be
necessarily indicative during the upcoming calendar year of the future operating
results of the Company.
ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K
