ACORN HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
June 30, 1999
(Unaudited)
NOTE A - 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
1998 balance sheet has been derived from the audited financial statements
contained in the 1998 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 three months ended June 30,
1999 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 B - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133 which amends the implementation date of SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity." The
statement 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. The statement is
effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of the statement.
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") issued
Statement of Option ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." The SOP was issued to provide
authoritative guidance on the subject of accounting for the costs associated
with the purchase or development of computer software. The statement is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. This statement has
been implemented and has no impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE C - REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
On April 19, 1999 the Company approved a resolution to amend the Company's
certificate of incorporation to decrease the authorized common shares from
approximately 4 million to 1.3 million and to effect a 5-for-2 reverse stock
split. Earnings per share and weighted average shares outstanding for all
periods presented have been changed to reflect the 5 for 2 reverse stock split.

NOTE D - Legal Matters
On May 14, 1999, the Chapter 7 Trustee in Bankruptcy for ServiceMax Tire & Auto
Center of Michigan, Inc., (ServiceMax) filed an avoidance action in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan seeking to recover
$1,750,000 from the Company on account of payments made to the Company and its
subsidiary, Automotive Industries Inc. (Automotive).
During 1996, ServiceMax was forced into Chapter 7 bankruptcy. ServiceMax is a
wholly owned subsidiary of ServiceMax Tire & Auto Centers, Inc. (ServiceMax
Inc.) which is a wholly owed subsidiary the Company.
During 1996, $1,750,000 was received by the Company from a third party with
respect to certain claims in exchange for certain releases with respect to
Service Max Tire & Auto Centers, of which $752,0000 was remitted directing to
the Company and the remaining balance of $997,500 was remitted to the Company's
subsidiary, Automotive in settlement of outstanding liens and payables.
During 1997, the Company sold the assets and liabilities of Automotive.
ServiceMax Inc. is not included in the consolidated financial statements of the
Company, because the majority owned subsidiary's control does not rest with the
Company.
The Company has filed an answer to the avoidance action and intends to
vigorously defend this action

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 1999 decreased
$1,037,524 from the three-month period ended June 30, 1998, while sales for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1999 decreased $2,216,085 from the six-month
period ended June 30, 1998. The Company incurred operating losses of $144,424
and $482,165 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999,
respectively, as compared to operating profits of $160,679 and $322,032,
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.
Although the business in which the Company is engaged is highly
competitive and cyclical in nature and has been recently incurring losses from
operations, 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.
