CENCOR ANNOUNCES PARTIAL LIQUIDATING DISTRIBUTION

Mission, Kansas, May 18, 1999. . . CenCor, Inc. ("the 
Company") announced a second partial liquidating 
distribution of $4.25 per share to its common stockholders.  
The distribution will be paid on June 7, 1999 to common 
stockholders of record as of May 21, 1999.

The Company is a dissolved Delaware corporation in the 
process of liquidation.  The Company previously released a 
partial liquidating distribution in the amount of $5.35 per 
share on March 9, 1998.  The Company expects to make a 
further distribution on or about October 1, 1999.

In accordance with Section 280 of Delaware General 
Corporation Law ("DGCL"), on February 26, 1999 CenCor mailed 
a 60-day bar date notice to all known or possible creditors 
of the Company.  The Company was required to respond to or 
reject any filed claims by May 4, 1999.  The Company did not 
receive or accept any claims that materially effected its 
stated liquidation value.  If the Company determines that it 
is necessary to establish a reserve for potential claimants 
who were exempt from the necessity to file a claim under 
Section 280 of DGCL, the Company would then make (subject to 
cost and expense considerations) a final distribution if the 
potential claims are ultimately settled for less than the 
amount of the reserve.  Due to the current uncertainty of 
this issue, the Company is not able to estimate a reserve 
amount, if any.

After the $4.25 per share common stock partial liquidating 
distribution and based upon the March 31, 1999 per share 
estimated liquidation value, each outstanding share of common 
stock of the Company will have a remaining projected 
liquidation value of $3.30 per share.  The Company will be 
required to pay or provide for all timely asserted 
liabilities and any post-liquidation costs prior to any final 
distribution on its outstanding common stock.  The Company 
believes that it has adequate reserves for all of its 
material known contingent liabilities.

The Company also released the value of its net assets in 
liquidation as of March 31, 1999.  The Company's net assets 
in liquidation increased $2,000 for the three months ending 
March 31, 1999 from $10,191,000 at December 31, 1998 to 
$10,193,000 at March 31, 1999.



The Company's income from liquidating activities for the three 
months ended March 31, 1999 was $115,000 in interest income from 
its investments in short-term government and government-agency 
investments and a $35,000 income tax benefit from a federal 
income tax refund.  The Company's expenses from liquidating 
activities for the three months ended March 31, 1999 of $149,000 
consisted primarily of salaries, professional fees, and other 
liquidating costs.
