STRATFORD AMERICAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
(unaudited)
1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial
position as of June 30, 1999, and the results of operations and cash flows
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. The accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes do not include all disclosures
considered necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Therefore, it is recommended that these
accompanying statements be read in conjunction with the notes to
consolidated financial statements appearing in the Company's Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 1998.
2. The Company has no significant operations. Through one of its subsidiaries,
the Company owns and leases certain real estate.
3. On October 1, 1998 (the "Closing Date"), Stratford American Car Rental
Systems, Inc. ("SCRS"), a subsidiary of the Company, sold the personal
property, equipment, improvements, fixtures, gasoline inventory, goodwill
and general intangibles used in or related to SCRS's business to Dollar
Rent A Car Systems, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation ("Dollar"), pursuant to
the terms of the Acquisition Agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement")
between SCRS and Dollar. Additionally, pursuant to the Acquisition
Agreement, SCRS terminated the Master Lease Agreement by and between SCRS
and Dollar, dated June 1, 1994, under which SCRS leased vehicles for use in
its business, as well as other agreements related to the Master Lease
Agreement.
The Acquisition Agreement provided for the payment by Dollar to SCRS of the
sum of $3,835,000 as the purchase price. The purchase price consisted of
the sum of $3,635,000 paid in cash to SCRS on the Closing Date net of any
obligations, actual or estimated, owed to and by Dollar under the normal
course of operations of SCRS, and a holdback amount of $200,000 related to
any obligations or indemnities of SCRS, under the Acquisition Agreement. In
December 1998, Dollar remitted $100,000 of the holdback amount to SCRS,
subsequent to the transfer of all rental vehicles back to Dollar under the
Master Lease Agreement, pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement. In January
1999, Dollar and SCRS finalized all post -closing obligations between each
party in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement. As provided by the
Post-Closing Statement agreed to and signed by both parties, an additional
$75,000 of the holdback was remitted to SCRS with the remaining $25,000
related to any obligations, or indemnities, to be held until October 1,
1999.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
(unaudited)
On the same day as the Closing Date, SCRS exercised an option to purchase
the property which includes the Phoenix Dollar Rent A Car base operation
facilities located near Sky Harbor International Airport for $502,000.
Simultaneously, Dollar entered into a long term lease with SCRS to utilize
the base operations.
The vehicle rental business of SCRS has been accounted for as a
discontinued operation and, accordingly, its net assets, results of
operations and cash flows are segregated for all periods presented in the
consolidated financial statements.
4. The Company calculates basic and diluted net income (loss) per share in
accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share." Basic net income (loss) per share
is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during each period (6,371,787 and 6,139,743 shares for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1999, respectively, and 5,871,787 shares for
both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998). Diluted net loss
per share is the same as basic net loss per share for all periods presented
due to the antidilutive effect of common stock equivalents on loss from
continuing operations.
5. On March 26, 1999, 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock were issued
to certain private investors, at $1 per share.
6. General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1999 and the
first and second quarters of 1998 were allocated to discontinued operations
in accordance with applicable revenue generated and corporate resources
utilized. Management believes this allocation methodology is reasonable.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company incurred a consolidated loss from continuing operations for the
second quarter of 1999. Continuing operations during the first six months of
1999 consisted primarily of rental property operations as the vehicle rental
business was sold in 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On October 1, 1998 (the "Closing Date"), Stratford American Car Rental
Systems, Inc. ("SCRS"), a subsidiary of the Company, sold the personal property,
equipment, improvements, fixtures, gasoline inventory, goodwill and general
intangibles used in or related to SCRS's business to Dollar Rent A Car Systems,
Inc., an Oklahoma corporation ("Dollar"), pursuant to the terms of the
Acquisition Agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") between SCRS and Dollar.
Additionally, pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, SCRS terminated the Master
Lease Agreement by and between SCRS and Dollar, dated June 1, 1994, under which
SCRS leased vehicles for use in its business, as well as other agreements
related to the Master Lease Agreement.
The Acquisition Agreement provided for the payment by Dollar to SCRS of the
sum of $3,835,000 as the purchase price. The purchase price consisted of the sum
of $3,635,000 paid in cash to SCRS on the Closing Date net of any obligations,
actual or estimated, owed to and by Dollar under the normal course of operations
of SCRS, and a holdback amount of $200,000 related to any obligations or
indemnities of SCRS, under the Acquisition Agreement. In December 1998, Dollar
remitted $100,000 of the holdback amount to SCRS, subsequent to the transfer of
all rental vehicles back to Dollar under the Master Lease Agreement, pursuant to
the Acquisition Agreement. In January 1999, Dollar and SCRS finalized all
post-closing obligations between each party in accordance with the Acquisition
Agreement. As provided by the Post-Closing Statement agreed to and signed by
both parties, an additional $75,000 of the holdback was remitted to SCRS with
the remaining $25,000 related to any obligations, or indemnities, to be held
until October 1, 1999.
On the same day as the Closing Date, SCRS exercised an option to purchase
the property which includes the Phoenix Dollar Rent A Car base operation
facilities located near Sky Harbor International Airport. Simultaneously, Dollar
entered into a long term lease with SCRS to utilize the base operations.
On March 26, 1999, 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock were issued
to certain private investors, at $1 per share.
The Company anticipates that with its current cash position due to the sale
of the car rental business and the sale of shares in March 1999, it should meet
its operational cash flow needs for the remainder of 1999. However, due to any
unforeseen circumstances that could occur outside the Company's control, there
can be no assurance that adequate cash flows from the Company's present cash
position and operations will be achieved.
The Company continues to aggressively seek potential acquisitions in
establishing its future direction. There can be no assurance that it will be
able to locate suitable acquisition candidates or make any such acquisitions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1999, COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED
JUNE 30, 1998.
The Company reported a net loss of $145,000 and $255,000 during the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1999, respectively, compared to net income
of $161,000 and $1,039,000 during the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1998, respectively. The six month period ended June 30, 1999 results include a
net loss of $13,000 from discontinued operations and the six month period ended
June 30, 1998 results include net income of $1,059,000 from discontinued
operations. The $13,000 loss from discontinued operations for the six month
period ended June 30, 1999 consists of adjustments, recorded in the first
quarter of 1999, related to previous estimates of discontinued operation
expenses determined upon final reconciliation of contractual obligations to and
from Dollar upon sale of the Dollar operations on October 1, 1998. Revenues
increased from $11,000 and $33,000 during the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1998, respectively, to $57,000 and $113,000 during the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1999, respectively, due to lease income received on
property leased to Dollar in 1999.
General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1999 and the
first and second quarters of 1998 were allocated to discontinued operations in
accordance with proportionate revenue generated and corporate resources
utilized. Management believes this allocation methodology is reasonable. The
increase in general and administrative expense from $22,000 in the second
quarter of 1998 to $185,000 in the second quarter of 1999 is due to the fact
that 87% of the total general and administrative expense of $166,000 was
allocated to discontinued operations during the second quarter of 1998 due to
the discontinued operations being the primary activity during that time.
RENTAL PROPERTY ACTIVITY. Rental property ownership and lease management is the
Company's only current activity. Gross lease income is currently at $125,000 per
year.
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Company does not have any material plans for future capital
expenditures at the present time.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's results of
operations.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
The Company is in the process of completing a review of its Year 2000
issues and has completed its review of internal systems. The majority of the
Company's application software programs are Year 2000 compliant. The Company
believes that with modifications and updates to existing software (primarily by
the software vendors), the Year 2000 problem will not pose significant
operational problems for the Company's internal systems. The Company also
believes that any remediation costs to become Year 2000 compliant will not be
9
material. The Company is also continuing to verify the Year 2000 readiness of
third parties and will develop a contingency plan at that point in time when the
Company believes a material vendor, customer, or other third party will not be
compliant.
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
Certain statements contained in this report, including statements
containing the words "believes," "anticipates," "intends," "expects" and words
of similar import, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of

harbors created thereby. Such forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results
to be materially different from the forward-looking statements. Such factors

sale of assets to Dollar, has no significant operations; the risk that the
Company will not be able to complete any acquisitions to re-establish
significant operations; the risk that all of the foregoing factors or other
factors could cause fluctuations in the Company's operating results and the
price of the Company's common stock; and other risks detailed in this report and
from time to time in the Company's other filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Given these uncertainties, readers should not place undue
reliance on such forward-looking statements.
