1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
presented. All adjustments made are of a normal recurring nature.
While the Company believes that the disclosures presented herein are
adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these
unaudited financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1998 ("fiscal 1998") as filed
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income". SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting
comprehensive income and its components. SFAS No. 130 also requires that the
cumulative balance of these items of other comprehensive income be reported
separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity
section of a statement of financial position. SFAS No. 130 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company adopted SFAS No. 130
in the first quarter ended May 31, 1998 (unaudited) and the adoption did not
have a material impact on the Company's disclosures in its financial statements.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related information". SFAS No. 131 establishes standards
for the way public companies report selected information about operating
segments in both quarterly and annual financial statements to their
shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement is
not required to be applied to interim financial statements in the initial year
of its application. The Company has not yet determined the effects, if any, that
SFAS No. 131 will have on the disclosures in its financial statements.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded 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 market
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 depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting
designation of the hedge exposure. Depending on how the hedge is used and the
designation, the gain or loss due to changes in the fair value is reported
either in earnings or in other comprehensive income. The Company has not yet
determined the effects, if any, that SFAS No. 133 will have on the disclosures
in its financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Steel City Products, Inc. ("SCPI") is a special, limited purpose,
majority-owned subsidiary of Oakhurst Company, Inc. ("Oakhurst"). SCPI is
expected to concentrate on its historical line of business, while any future
growth and expansion opportunities are expected to be pursued by one or more
subsidiaries of Oakhurst. Through Oakhurst's ownership of SCPI, primarily in the
form of preferred stock, Oakhurst retains substantially all the value of SCPI,
and receives substantially all of the benefit of operations through dividends on
the preferred stock. Oakhurst's ownership of SCPI is designed to facilitate the
preservation and utilization of SCPI's and Oakhurst's net operating tax loss
carry-forwards which amount to approximately $155 million.
In addition to cash derived from operations, SCPI's liquidity and
financing requirements are determined principally by the working capital needed
to support its level of business, together with the need for capital
expenditures and the cash required to repay its debt. SCPI also receives cash
payments pursuant to a note receivable from Oakhurst, and from time to time,
repayments of advances to Oakhurst. SCPI's working capital needs fluctuate
primarily due to the amounts of inventory it carries which can change
seasonally, the size and timeliness of payment of receivables from its customers
to which from time to time SCPI grants extended payment terms for their seasonal
inventory builds, and the amount of credit extended to SCPI by its suppliers.
SCPI participates in a cash concentration system together with certain other
subsidiaries of Oakhurst. Available cash that is transferred to Oakhurst is
reflected as an addition to the advances to Oakhurst.
At November 30, 1998, SCPI's debt primarily consisted of notes payable
that were issued in connection with the settlement of certain contingent
liabilities related to SCPI's former retail division. SCPI also has revolving
debt of approximately $2.4 million which is offset entirely by advances
receivable from Oakhurst that bear interest at the same rate as the revolving
debt.
Oakhurst and its subsidiaries, including SCPI, have available financing
under a revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") from an institutional lender
up to a maximum of $7 million, subject to a borrowing base that is calculated
according to defined levels of the subsidiaries' accounts receivable and
inventories. At November 30, 1998, the borrowing base under the Revolver was
$4.5 million. In fiscal 1998, the Revolver was extended to April 1999, and
provides for subsequent renewal terms of one year each upon payment of a renewal
fee of 0.5% of the entire line, unless earlier terminated as provided for in the
agreement. Management believes that the Revolver will provide adequate funding
for SCPI's working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months,
assuming no material deterioration in current sales levels or gross profit
margins, and continuation of normal levels of supplier credit.
From time to time the information provided by the Company or statements
made by its employees may contain so-called "forward looking" information that
involves risks and uncertainties. In particular, statements contained in this
Item 2 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations," which are not historical facts (including, but not
limited to statements concerning anticipated sales, profit levels, customers and
cash flows) are forward looking statements. The Company's actual future results
may differ significantly from those stated in any forward looking statements.
Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to the
factors discussed above as well as the accuracy of the Company's internal
estimates of revenue and operating expense levels. Each of these factors and
others are discussed from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange
Commission filings.
MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
As of November 30, 1998, there had been no material changes in the
Company's financial condition from February 28, 1998, discussed in Item 7 of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 1998.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operations include the results of SCPI's operating division, Steel City
Products, a distributor of automotive parts and accessories and of non-food pet
supplies based in McKeesport, Pennsylvania.
THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER
30, 1997
Sales in the third quarter of the current year decreased by $101,000
compared with the third quarter of the prior year. Sales to existing automotive
customers decreased by $334,000 due to a change in practice by certain customers
to purchase products directly from the manufacturer, to competitive pressures
faced by many smaller customers, and the bankruptcy of one customer in the
current year. Sales to new automotive customers totaled $103,000 for the
quarter.
Sales of non-food pet products totaled $507,000, an increase of
$130,000 compared with the third quarter of the prior year, due primarily to the
addition of new pet supply customers.
Gross profits decreased by $52,000 in the third quarter of the current
year compared with the third quarter of the prior year, due to the lower sales
volume, together with an increase of $21,000 in buying and occupancy expenses.
The increase in buying and occupancy expenses resulted from costs related to
operating from rented facilities in the current year, while in the prior year
operations were conducted from an owned warehouse that was sold in December
1997.
Operating, selling and administrative expenses reflected a slight
decrease in the third quarter compared with prior year. Operating expenses were
lower due to expenses related to the move of facilities which were incurred last
year. These savings were offset by higher selling expenses in the current year
related to additional travel and higher broker's commissions on pet supply
products.
There was a decrease of $61,000 in the provision for doubtful accounts
in the third quarter of the current year compared to the prior year due to the
bankruptcy of one of the Company's customers in the prior year.
Interest expense decreased by $37,000, mainly due to SCPI's repayment
of a term loan in December 1997.
NINE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30,
1997
Sales in the current year period decreased by $147,000 compared with
the prior year, due to the sale of the "Wing-tech" division in first quarter of
the prior year. Sales attributable to the Wing-tech division in the prior year
were $117,000. Sales to existing automotive customers decreased by approximately
$927,000, primarily as a result of competitive pressures encountered by certain
of SCPI's customers, and because some customers have changed their buying
practices to obtain certain product lines direct from the manufacturer. Mostly
offsetting these decreases were sales to new automotive customers of
approximately $431,000, and increases in non-food pet supply sales.
Sales of non-food pet supplies were $1.4 million in the current year,
compared with $958,000 in the prior year. The increase in sales of $466,000
resulted from expanded sales to existing pet supply customers, together with
sales of $375,000 to new customers recently added.
Gross profits decreased by $227,000 in the current year period compared
with the prior year, due
- 10 -
11
to lower profits of $32,000 related to the Wing-tech division, a decrease in
gross margin of 1.0%, and an increase of $54,000 in buying and occupancy
expenses. The decrease in gross margin was principally attributable to several
sales promotions during the second quarter of the current year. The increase in
buying and occupancy expenses resulted from costs related to operating from
rented facilities in the current year, while in the prior year operations were
conducted from an owned warehouse that was sold in December 1997.
There was a decrease of $76,000 in the provision for doubtful accounts
in the current year compared to the prior year due to the bankruptcy of one of
the Company's customers last year.
Interest expense decreased by $101,000, primarily due to SCPI's
repayment of a term loan in December 1997.
