The deferred assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will be either taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. The deferred tax liability results from the recognition of unrealized gains, net of losses on securities for financial statements and recognition of gains or losses when securities are sold for income tax purposes, the inclusion of deferred earnings on an annuity policy for financial statements and the recognition of the earnings when received for tax purposes and the equity method of accounting for the investments in subsidiary as explained under Garden Life Plan, Ltd. above.

At February 28, 1998 the Company's retained earnings included approximately $2,485,731 of undistributed earnings of GLP. The deferred tax asset results from the use of the reserve method in accounting for uncollectible accounts receivable in the financial statements and the use of the direct write off method for income tax purpose, the accrual of the retroactive rent for financial statements purposes and the recognition of the rent expense when paid for income tax purposes and the accrual of vacation and sick leave when earned for the financial statements and the recognition for income tax purposes when paid.
