                     THE ENSTAR GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1:  GENERAL

     The consolidated financial statements of The Enstar Group, Inc. (the
"Company") are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all
adjustments consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments necessary to
fairly state the Company's financial condition and results of operations for the
interim period. The results of operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998 included in
the Company's Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 29, 1999 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified in the financial statements to conform
with the current year presentation.

NOTE 2:  INVESTMENT IN B-LINE

     In November 1998, the Company made an investment in B-Line LLC ("B-Line").
B-Line is a privately owned company based in Seattle, Washington that provides
services to credit card issuers and other holders of similar receivables.

     The Company invested $950,000 in membership units of B-Line, representing
approximately 8.77% of the then outstanding units of B-Line. The Company also
purchased a one-year warrant to acquire additional B-Line units, with an
aggregate exercise price of $950,000. Other investors also purchased membership
units and warrants in B-Line. If the Company and the other investors with
outstanding B-Line warrants and options were to exercise those warrants and
options, the Company would own approximately 13.89% of B-Line.

     The Company's investment in B-Line is accounted for under the equity
method. In addition, legal and professional fees of approximately $15,000
incurred in the purchase of the Company's investment were capitalized as a part
of the original cost. Approximately $803,000 of the original $950,000 investment
was recorded as goodwill and is being amortized over a period of 10 years.

NOTE 3:  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     (a) Common Stock -- In January 1999, the Company issued 160 shares of its
common stock to qualified former shareholders in accordance with the terms of
its reorganization plan. It was determined by the Company that these former
shareholders had submitted a complete Certification of Ownership in a timely
manner.

     (b) Additional Paid-in Capital -- In February 1999, additional legal fees
of $10,000 were incurred by the Company in relation to the sale of 1,158,860
newly issued shares of the Company's common stock to J. Christopher Flowers in
December 1998. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
these fees were charged to equity in the first quarter of 1999.

NOTE 4:  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     On February 11, 1997, fifteen former shareholders of the Company filed a
lawsuit against the Company. The complaint, which deals with actions occurring
prior to the Company's filing for bankruptcy in 1991, alleges that the Company
along with its then principal officers and others defrauded the plaintiffs in
violation of the Alabama Securities Act and other Alabama statutory provisions.
The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages in the amount of their alleged losses
of approximately $2.0 million and unspecified punitive damages. The Company
filed a motion to dismiss and/or for summary judgement on March 17, 1997. The
motion filed by the Company contends that the claims asserted are barred by the
applicable statutes of limitations. The motion is still pending before the
court. In the event the plaintiffs' claims are not dismissed pursuant to the

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

Company's motion, the Company intends to contest the plaintiffs' claims
vigorously. The Company cannot, however, reasonably predict the outcome of this
lawsuit.

                        INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

Board of Directors and Shareholders of
The Enstar Group, Inc.:

     We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The Enstar
Group, Inc. and subsidiary as of June 30, 1999, and the related consolidated
statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three-month
and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. These financial statements
are the responsibility of The Enstar Group, Inc. and subsidiary's management.

     We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

     Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to such consolidated financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of The Enstar Group, Inc. and
subsidiary as of December 31, 1998 and the related consolidated statements of
income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year
then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 15, 1999, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In
our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 1998 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's assets, aggregating approximately $68.5 million at June 30,
1999, consisted primarily of cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit.

     The Company is currently engaged in the active search for one or more
operating businesses. This search occupies substantially all of the time of the
Company's senior officers. The Company's officers and directors have made
efforts to identify suitable acquisition targets, however, such efforts have not
resulted to date in any definitive agreements with respect to the acquisition of
any business or company. With the exception of various expenses incurred in
connection with the Company's search for an operating company, its only needs
are to fund normal operating expenses. In the event the Company fails to acquire
an operating business within a reasonable period of time, the Company will
consider other alternatives, including, but not limited to, liquidation of the
Company.

Financial Condition

     The Company had total assets of $68.5 million at June 30, 1999 compared to
$68.0 million at December 31, 1998.

Results of Operations

     The Company reported net income of $562,000 and $810,000 for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1999, compared to net income of $108,000 and
$1,453,000 for the same periods in the prior year. The changes in net income
from the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same
periods in the prior year are primarily a result of changes in the components of
investment income and, in 1999, increased general and administrative expenses.

     Investment income was approximately $1.1 million and $2.1 million for the
three and six months periods ended June 30, 1999, respectively, compared to
approximately $561,000 and $2.7 million for the same periods in the prior year.
During the first quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of
101,939 shares of First Union common stock of $2.8 million net of losses on call
option transactions of approximately $1.2 million. In addition, the Company had
interest and dividend income of approximately $526,000 in the first quarter of
1998. Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 primarily
consisted of interest and dividend income of approximately $514,000. Investment
income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 consisted almost
entirely of interest income. Since the sale of the Company's remaining holdings
in First Union common stock during the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company
has invested primarily in interest bearing accounts and certificates of deposit.

     General and administrative expenses were $722,000 and $1.5 million for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999, respectively, compared to
$476,000 and $1.2 million for the same periods in 1998. In addition to normal
operating expenses, general and administrative expenses include legal and
professional fees as well as travel expenses incurred in connection with the
Company's search for an operating company. Most variances in general and
administrative expenses can be attributed to the number of potential acquisition
candidates the Company locates as well as the degree of interest the Company may
have in such candidates. The stronger the interest in a candidate, the more
rigorous financial and legal due diligence the Company will incur with respect
to that candidate. During 1999, the Company incurred an increase in general and
administrative expenses as a direct result of intensive evaluation of several
potential acquisition candidates.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company is exposed to some market risk from changes in interest rates,
but the Company does not believe the risk is material. The Company had cash and
cash equivalents of approximately $63.4 million in interest bearing accounts
(interest at floating rates) and approximately $3.6 million of short-term
certificates of deposit (interest at fixed rates) at June 30, 1999. Although
interest rate changes would affect the fair value of the Company's certificates
of deposits, the weighted average original term of certificates held by the

                                        8
<PAGE>   11

Company at June 30, 1999 was approximately 9 months. The short-term nature of
these certificates limits the Company's risk of changes in the fair value of
these certificates. The Company also had a full recourse note receivable at June
30, 1999, classified as a reduction of equity. The $15.0 million note bears
interest at a fixed rate of 4.06% per annum, requires quarterly interest
payments, and matures in December 2000. The note was recorded at a discount so
as to yield a current market rate of interest as of the date of issuance of the
note.

                                    PART II.

                               OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     On February 11, 1997, fifteen former shareholders of the Company filed a
lawsuit against the Company in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama
styled Peter N. Zachary, et al. v. The Enstar Group, Inc., Case No.
CV-97-257-Gr. The complaint, which deals with actions occurring prior to the
Company's filing for bankruptcy in 1991, alleges that the Company along with its
then principal officers and others defrauded the plaintiffs in violation of the
Alabama Securities Act and other Alabama statutory provisions. The plaintiffs
seek compensatory damages in the amount of their alleged losses of approximately
$2 million and unspecified punitive damages. The complaint is virtually
identical to a complaint brought by these plaintiffs against the Company's
former chairman, former president and others in December 1991, during the
pendency of the Company's bankruptcy case and prior to the confirmation of the
Company's Second Amended Plan of Reorganization, as modified (the
"Reorganization Plan"). The plaintiffs allege that the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Middle District of Alabama (the "Bankruptcy Court") issued an
order on January 15, 1997, allowing them to litigate their claims against the
Company. The Bankruptcy Court's order actually held that the plaintiffs could
not bring a late claim against the Company in its bankruptcy case and then went
on to state that because of facts relating to these particular plaintiffs, they
were not bound by the provisions of the Reorganization Plan and their claims
were not subject to discharge under the Bankruptcy Code. On March 17, 1997, the
Company filed a motion to dismiss and/or for summary judgment in response to the
complaint on the basis that the claims asserted are barred by the applicable
statute of limitations. The motion is still pending before the court. In the
event the plaintiffs' claims are not dismissed pursuant to the Company's motion,
the Company intends to contest the plaintiffs' claims vigorously. The Company
cannot, however, reasonably predict the outcome of this litigation.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
