Oakhurst Company Announces Results of Operations

    WILMINGTON, Del.--July 9, 1999--Oakhurst Company, Inc. (OTC BB:OAKC) today announced operating results for its first fiscal quarter ended May 31, 1999.
    The Company's automotive businesses reflected an operating improvement of $200,000 compared with the first quarter of the prior year, principally due to increased sales and profits at Steel City Products, Inc. As expected, however, a loss was incurred at the Company's Oakhurst Technology ("OTI") subsidiary, principally related to the budgeted start-up losses of OTI 's investment in New Heights Recovery and Power, LLC ("New Heights"). Continued start-up losses are budgeted as part of the restructuring of the New Heights facility; the first revenues are not expected until later in 1999.
