TELOS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. General
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited
and include the accounts of Telos Corporation ("Telos") and its wholly owned
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). Significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company, the
accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for their fair
presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year performance for a
variety of reasons including the impact of seasonal and short-term variations.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting For Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS 133, as amended by
SFAS 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -
Deferral of the effective date of FASB Statement No. 133, an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133", is effective for all quarters of the Company's year ending
December 31, 2001. The Company currently does not engage or plan to engage in
the use of derivative instruments, and the implementation of SFAS 133 did not
have a material impact on the results of operations, cash flows or financial
position.
In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities" which amends SFAS 133.
SFAS 138 amends SFAS 133 to 1) expand the scope of the "normal sales and normal
purchases" exception; 2) introduce the benchmark rate as an interest rate that
may be hedged; 3) permit a recognized foreign currency denominated asset to be
hedged and; 4) allow certain intercompany derivatives that are offset net to be
designated as hedging instruments. The Company did not have a material impact on
its results of operations, cash flows or financial position from the adoption of
SFAS 138.
On September 29, 2000, FASB Statement No. 140 ("SFAS 140"), "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities",
was issued. The new standard replaces FASB Statement No. 125, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities"
and becomes effective for transfers entered into after March 31, 2001. SFAS 140
significantly changes the collateral recognition guidance for secured borrowings
and related collateral disclosure requirements. The Company does not anticipate
SFAS 140 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's financial
statements to conform to the classifications used in the current period.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 2. Contribution of Assets
On July 27, 2000, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with
certain investors ("Investors"), which provided for the formation of an Oklahoma
Limited Liability Company named Telos OK, LLC ("TelosOK"). The Company
contributed all of the assets of its Digital Systems Test and Training
Simulators ("DSTATS") business as well as its Government Contract with the
Department of the Army at Ft. Sill (hereafter referred to as the Company's Ft.
Sill operation) to TelosOK. The net assets contributed by the Company totaled
$373,000. The Investors contributed $3.0 million in cash to TelosOK, and at
closing TelosOK borrowed $4.0 million cash from a bank. The Company and the
Investors each have guaranteed a portion of the loan of TelosOK. The Company has
guaranteed $2 million and the Investors have guaranteed $1 million. In addition,
Telos OK entered into a $500,000 senior credit facility with the same bank,
which expires August 1, 2001. Borrowings under the facility, should there be
any, will be collateralized by certain assets of TelosOK (primarily accounts
receivable). The Company and the Investors have agreed to guarantee this credit
facility in the amount of $250,000 each when and if drawn.
In compliance with the subscription agreement, on the closing date the
following consideration was given to the Company for its contribution of assets
to TelosOK:
The Company received $6 million in cash, retained $2.5 million in trade
receivables of the Ft. Sill and DSTATS businesses, and received a $500,000
receivable from TelosOK for a total consideration of $9 million for the
contribution of the net assets.
The Company and the Investors each own a 50% voting membership interest in
TelosOK, and have signed an operating agreement which provides for three
subclasses of membership units, Classes A, B and C. The ownership of these
classes is as follows and can change upon Class B redemption:
Class A - owns 20% of TelosOK. The Company and the Investors each own 50% of the
200,000 units of this class. This class has all voting rights of TelosOK and has
the sole right to elect the directors of TelosOK. The units in this class do not
have redemption rights.
Class B - owns 40% of TelosOK. The Investors own all 2.9 million units of this
class. This class does not have voting rights, but can request the redemption of
all or a portion of the Class B units outstanding beginning one year after the
closing date, subject to certain restrictions. Class B holders can redeem no
more than 500,000 units per quarter at a price of $1.00 per unit, and such
redemption can only be made from the excess cash flow of TelosOK as defined in
the agreement.
Class C- owns 40% of TelosOK. The Company owns all 2.9 million units of this
class. This class does not have voting rights, and has the same redemption
rights as class B above, except that no right of redemption will exist until all
Class B units have been redeemed. In addition, when any of the Class B units
have been redeemed, the Company will receive a warrant to purchase a number of
Class C units equal to the amount of the Class B units redeemed at a price of
$0.01 per unit.
As indicated in the operating agreement, one of the Investors, Bill W.
Burgess, will serve as Chairman of the Board and may designate a Secretary, and
David Aldrich, President and CEO of the Company, and Thomas Ferrara, Treasurer
and CFO of the Company, will serve in those same capacities for TelosOK. The
Company has entered into a corporate services agreement with TelosOK whereby the
Company will provide certain administrative support functions to TelosOK,
including but not limited to finance and accounting and human resources, in
return for a monthly cash payment.
As indicated above, the Company owns 50% of TelosOK, and shares control
over TelosOK, and therefore has changed its method of accounting for the
contributed assets from the consolidation method to the equity method. Pursuant
to this change, the revenues, costs and expenses from the Ft. Sill and DSTATS
businesses have been excluded from their respective captions in the Company's
Consolidated Statement of Operations, and the net earnings from these businesses
have been reported separately as "Equity in Net Earnings of Telos OK" for the
three months ended March 31, 2000. The results of operations of the Ft. Sill and
DSTATS businesses included in the "Equity in Net Earnings of TelosOK" caption
are comprised of the following:

TELOS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
From July 27, 2000 through March 31, 2001, the Company's share in the
cumulative equity of TelosOk was still negative. Accordingly, under the equity
method of accounting as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion 18,
the Company's carrying value in TelosOK is $0 at March 31, 2001.
Note 3. Debt Obligations
Senior Credit Facility
The Company has a $35 million Senior Credit Facility ("the Facility") with
a bank which matures on March 1, 2002. At March 31, 2001, the Facility was
classified as a current liability as the Facility has a term of less than one
year. Borrowings under the Facility are collateralized by a majority of the
Company's assets including accounts receivable, inventory, and Telos' stock in
its subsidiaries. The amount of available borrowings fluctuates based on the
underlying asset borrowing base, as defined in the Facility agreement.
Senior Subordinated Notes
In 1995 the Company issued Senior Subordinated Notes ("Notes") to certain
shareholders. The Notes are classified as either Series B or Series C. Series B
Notes are collateralized by fixed assets of the Company. Series C Notes are
unsecured. Of the $8.5 million in combined principal of the Series B and Series
C Notes at March 31, 2001, approximately $1.2 million of Notes mature on April
1, 2001, and the remaining $7.3 million become payable on April 1, 2002. The
Notes have interest rates ranging from 14% to 17%. Interest is paid quarterly on
January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each year. The Notes can be prepaid
at the Company's option. Additionally, these Notes have a cumulative payment
premium of 13.5% per annum payable only upon certain circumstances. These
circumstances include an initial public offering of the Company's common stock
or a significant refinancing, to the extent that net proceeds from either of the
above events are received and are sufficient to pay the premium. Due to the
contingent nature of the premium payment, the associated premium expense will
only be recorded after the occurrence of a triggering event. At March 31, 2001,
the prepayment premium that would be due upon a triggering event is
approximately $9.0 million.
In conjunction with the Enterworks private placement offering of 1999, the
Company retired approximately $1.0 million of Series B Notes, $4.8 million of
Series C Notes, and $1.8 million of Series D Notes in exchange for shares of
Enterworks' common stock owned by the Company at an exchange ratio of one share
of Enterworks' common stock for each $1.00 principal amount of notes payable. In
addition to the retirement of these notes, accrued interest of approximately
$300,000 was forgiven and the holders of these notes waived their rights to the
prepayment premium associated with these notes.
The balances of the Series B and Series C Notes were $5.5 million and $3.0
million, respectively, at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000.
Note 4. Preferred Stock
Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock
The components of the senior redeemable preferred stock are Series A-1 and
Series A-2, each with $.01 par value and 1,250 and 1,750 shares authorized,
issued and outstanding, respectively. The Series A-1 and Series A-2 carry a
cumulative per annum dividend rate of 14.125% of their liquidation value of
$1,000 per share. The dividends are payable semi-annually on June 30th and
December 31st of each year. The liquidation preference of the preferred stock is
the face amount of the Series A-1 and A-2 Stock ($1,000 per share), plus all
accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company is required to redeem 821.4 of the
outstanding shares of the stock on December 31, 2001, subject to the legal
availability of funds. The remaining 2,178.6 shares and their accrued dividends
are required to be redeemed on April 1, 2002 subject to the legal availability
of funds. Mandatory redemptions are required from excess cash flows, as defined
in the stock agreements. The Series A-1 and A-2 redeemable preferred stock is
senior to all other present and future equity of the Company. The Series A-1 is
senior to the Series A-2. The Company has not declared dividends on its senior
redeemable preferred stock since its issuance. At March 31, 2001 and December
31, 2000 undeclared, unpaid dividends relating to Series A-1 and A-2 redeemable
preferred stock totaled $3,584,000 and $3,480,000, respectively.
12% Cumulative Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock
A maximum of 6,000,000 shares of 12% Cumulative Exchangeable Redeemable
Preferred Stock (the "Public Preferred Stock"), par value $.01 per share, has
been authorized for issuance. The Company initially issued 2,858,723 shares of
12% Cumulative Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Public Preferred
Stock") pursuant to the acquisition of the Company during fiscal year 1990. The
Public Preferred Stock was recorded at fair value on the date of original issue,
November 21, 1989, and the Company is making periodic accretions under the
interest method of the excess of the redemption value over the recorded value.
Accretion for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $421,000. The Company
declared stock dividends totaling 736,863 shares in 1990 and 1991. No other
stock dividends have been declared since 1991.
TELOS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
In November 1998, the Company retired 410,000 shares of the Public
Preferred Stock held by certain shareholders. The Company repurchased the stock
at $4.00 per share. The carrying value of these shares was determined to be $3.8
million, and the $2.2 million excess of the carrying amount of these shares of
Public Preferred Stock over the redemption price of $1.6 million was recorded as
an increase in capital in excess of par; there was no impact on income from this
transaction.
The Public Preferred Stock has a 20-year maturity; however, the Company
must redeem, out of funds legally available, 20% of the Public Preferred Stock
on the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th anniversaries of November 21, 1989, leaving 20%
to be redeemed at maturity. On any dividend payment date after November 21,
1991, the Company may exchange the Public Preferred Stock, in whole or in part,
for 12% Junior Subordinated Debentures that are redeemable upon terms
substantially similar to the Public Preferred Stock and subordinated to all
indebtedness for borrowed money and like obligations of the Company.
The Public Preferred Stock accrues a semi-annual dividend at an annual rate
of 12% ($1.20) per share, based on the liquidation preference of $10 per share,
and is cumulative. Through November 21, 1995, the Company had the option to pay
dividends in additional shares of Preferred Stock in lieu of cash. Dividends in
additional shares of the Preferred Stock are paid at the rate of 6% of a share
of the Preferred Stock for each $.60 of such dividends not paid in cash.
Dividends are payable by the Company, provided the Company has legally available
funds under Maryland law, when and if declared by the Board of Directors,
commencing June 1, 1990, and on each six month anniversary thereof. For the
years 1992 through 1994 and for the dividend payable June 1, 1995, the Company
has accrued undeclared dividends in additional shares of preferred stock. These
accrued dividends are valued at $3,950,000. Had the Company accrued such
dividends on a cash basis, the total amount accrued would have been $15,101,000.
For the cash dividends payable since December 1, 1995, the Company has accrued
$22,500,000.
The Company has not declared or paid dividends since 1991, due to
restrictions and ambiguities relating to the payment of dividends contained
within its charter, its working capital facility agreement, and under Maryland
law.
Note 5. Reportable Business Segments
The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information", in 1998 which changes the way the Company
reports information about its operating segments.
At March 31, 2001, the Company has three reportable segments:
Systems and Support Services - provides software development and support
services for software and hardware including technology insertion, system
redesign and software re-engineering. The principal market for this segment is
the federal government and its agencies.
Products - delivers networking infrastructure solutions to its customers.
These solutions include providing commercial hardware, software and services to
its customers. The Products group is capable of staging, installing and
deploying large network infrastructures with virtually no disruption to
customer's ongoing operations. The principal market for this segment is the
federal government and its agencies.
Xacta - offers innovative products which leverage its extensive consulting
experience, domain knowledge, and best practices implementation in enterprise
security. Through its core competencies and innovative products, Xacta helps
manage the security of its customers' network environments through the
integration of critical business content and processes.
The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on
revenue, gross profit and income before goodwill amortization, income taxes,
non-recurring items and interest income or expense. Certain businesses within
the Xacta segment in 2000 were transferred to the Products segment beginning
January 2001. The 2000 segment disclosure has been amended to conform to this
2001 change.
Summarized financial information concerning the Company's reportable
segments for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 is shown in the
following table. The "other" column includes corporate related items.

The Company does not have material international revenues, profit (loss),
assets or capital expenditures. The Company's business is not concentrated in a
specific geographical area within the United States, as it has 9 separate
facilities located in 4 states and Europe.
Note 6. Investment in Enterworks
During the first quarter of 2001, the Company and Enterworks, Inc.
("Enterworks") entered into an agreement whereby the Company , as a participant
in an additional round of financing for Enterworks, substituted approximately
$530,000 of receivables owed to the Company, and in addition funded Enterworks
$470,000 of cash in three equal installments during the quarter. The receivables
substituted included rent owed to the Company, services performed by the Company
under a service agreement between the Company and Enterworks, and expenses paid
for by the Company on behalf of Enterworks. In return, the Company received four
separate Demand 10% Convertible Promissory Notes from Enterworks totaling $1
million, as well as warrants to purchase approximately 2.5 million of underlying
shares of Enterworks common stock. The warrants to purchase 2.5 million
underlying shares of Enterworks common stock have an exercise price of $0.01 per
share and an exercise period of five years. There was no impact to income for
the quarter as a result of this transaction.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General
Sales for the first three months of 2001 were $43.9 million, an increase of
$17.2 million or 64.3% as compared to the same 2000 period. This increase was
primarily attributable to a $12.6 million increase in sales from the Company's
Products Group, which was impacted by increased sales orders under both its
traditional businesses and its newer wireless product line. The increase in
sales was also attributable to an increase in the Company's Systems and Support
Services Group sales of $3.5 million which was primarily due to the revenue
generated from long-term labor contracts. The Xacta Group also experienced an
increase in revenue, mostly due to increased sales of its information security
products.
Operating profit through the first three months of 2001 was approximately
$1.1 million as compared to an operating loss of $1.1 million during the same
2000 period. Operating profitability improved principally because of increased
sales volume coupled with improved profits realized under the Company's new
businesses.
Total backlog from existing contracts was approximately $135.1 million and
$124.4 million as of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. As of
March 31, 2001, the funded backlog of the Company totaled $45.4 million, an
increase of $2.4 million from December 31, 2000. Funded backlog represents
aggregate contract revenues remaining to be earned by the Company at a given
time, but only to the extent, in the case of government contracts, funded by a
procuring government agency and allotted to the contracts.

Xacta 21.3% 33.9%
Total 15.7% 11.8%
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, sales increased by $17.2
million, or 64.3%, to $43.9 million from $26.7 million for the comparable 2000
period. Of the $17.2 million increase, $12.6 million was attributable to the
Products Group. The Group's comparable revenues were enhanced by increased sales
under the Group's traditional contracts such as IS-1, ATWCS and Courts, as well
as increased sales under new businesses such as the Group's wireless product
line. The increases in revenue were also attributable to the Systems and Support
Services Group, which experienced revenue growth of $3.5 million. The increase
was further enhanced by increases in Xacta Group sales of $1.1 million, due to
increased orders under its information security product line.
Cost of sales was 84.3% of sales the three-month period ended March 31,
2001, as compared to 88.2% in the comparable 2000 period. The reduction in cost
of sales is attributable to increased profits realized on the Products Group's
Courts contracts as well as increased profits under the Group's wireless product
line.
Gross profit increased by $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2001 to
$6.9 million from $3.2 million in the comparable 2000 period as a result of the
increase in sales and decreases in cost of sales discussed above. Total Company
gross margins were 15.7% and 11.8% for the three-month periods ended March 31,
2001 and 2000, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative costs increased for the three-month
period by approximately $1.5 million to $5.7 million in 2001 from $4.2 million
in 2000. This increase is primarily due to the increased investment in the sales
and marketing effort for the Company's Xacta subsidiary. SG&A as a percentage of
sales were 13.1% and 15.7% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively.
Goodwill amortization expense was $62,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2001 compared to $89,000 for the period ended March 2000. The decrease in
goodwill amortization was a result of the goodwill transfer associated with the
TelosOK transaction.
Operating profitability improved by $2.3 million during the three months
ended March 31, 2001 to approximately $1.1 million in operating profit. The
Company had an operating loss of $1.1 million in the comparable period of 2000.
The increase in operating profit resulted primarily from the aforementioned
gross profit increases.
Interest expense increased by approximately $150,000 to $1.3 million during
the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, from $1.1 million in the comparable
period of 2000. The increase was attributable to increased debt levels in 2001.
The Company recorded a tax provision of approximately $1,000 and a tax
benefit of approximately $500,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31,
2001 and 2000, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the three months ended March 31, 2001, operating activities provided
$2.6 million of cash flow to the Company. This cash was provided by a decrease
in the Company's accounts receivable balance of $7.6 million, offset by
decreases in accounts payable of $2.8 million and losses incurred in operations.
Cash used in investing activities was approximately $300,000. The Company used
cash during the quarter to pay down the Company's credit facility balance by
$2.4 million.
At March 31, 2001, the Company had outstanding debt and long-term
obligations of $42.5 million, consisting of $23.1 million under the secured
senior credit facility, $8.5 million in subordinated debt, and $10.9 million in
capital lease obligations.
At March 31, 2001, the Company had an outstanding balance of $23.1 million
on its $35 million Senior Credit Facility (the "Facility"). The Facility matures
on March 1, 2002 and is collateralized by a majority of the Company's assets
(including inventory, accounts receivable and Telos' stock in its subsidiaries).
The amount of borrowings fluctuates based on the underlying asset borrowing base
as well as the Company's working capital requirements. The Facility has various
covenants that may, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company to
merge with another entity, sell or transfer certain assets, pay dividends and
make other distributions beyond certain limitations. The Facility also requires
the Company to meet certain leverage, net worth, interest coverage and operating
goals.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. For
this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of
historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting
the foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects" and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There
are a number of important factors that could cause the Company's actual results
to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements.
These factors include, without limitation, those set forth below under the
caption "Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results."
Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results
The following important factors, among others, could cause actual results
to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements made in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and presented elsewhere by management from
time to time.
A number of uncertainties exist that could affect the Company's future
operating results, including, without limitation, general economic conditions
which in the present period of economic downturn may include, and adversely
affect, the cost and continued availability of the Company to secure adequate
capital and financing to support its business; the impact of adverse economic
conditions on the Company's customers and suppliers; the ability to sell assets
or to obtain alternative sources of commercially reasonable refinancing for the
Company's debt; or the ability to successfully restructure its debt obligations.
Additional uncertainties include the Company's ability to convert contract
backlog to revenue, the success of the Company's investment in Enterworks and
the Company's access to ongoing development, product support and viable channel
partner relationships with Enterworks.
While in the past the Company has not experienced contract terminations
with the federal government, the federal government can terminate at its
convenience. Should this occur, the Company's operating results could be
adversely impacted. The Company's U.S. Army contract at Ft. Monmouth is up for
re-bid, which, if unsuccessful, could adversely impact the Company's revenue. It
should also be noted that with the change of administration and its key
government personnel, related policy changes and detailed program-by-program
review at each agency of the federal government, especially the Department of
Defense, the Company's high percentage of revenue derived from business with the
federal government could be adversely impacted.
As a high percentage of the Company's revenue is derived from business with
the federal government, the Company's operating results could be adversely
impacted should the federal government not approve and implement its annual
budget in a timely fashion.
Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to the Company's long-term debt obligations.
The Company is exposed to interest rate volatility with regard to its
variable rate debt obligations under its Senior Credit Facility. This facility
bears interest at 1.5%, subject to certain adjustments, over the bank's base
rate. The weighted average interest rate in the first three months of 2001 was
10.9%. This facility expires on March 1, 2002 and has an outstanding balance of
$23.1 million at March 31, 2001.
The Company's other debt at March 31, 2001 consists of Senior Subordinated
Notes B and C which bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 14% to 17%. Of the
$8.5 million Senior Subordinated Notes balance at March 31, 2001, $1.2 million
of this principal amount matures on April 1, 2001, and the remaining $7.3
million in principal becomes payable on April 1, 2002. The Company has no cash
flow exposure due to rate changes for its Senior Subordinated Notes.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is party to various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of
business. While the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty,
based upon the Company's present understanding of its pending legal matters, it
is of the opinion such matters for this quarter will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations,
or of cash flows.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
Senior Preferred Stock
The Company has not declared dividends on its Senior Redeemable Preferred
Stock, Series A-1 and A-2, since its issuance. Total undeclared unpaid
dividends, accrued for financial reporting purposes, are $3,584,000 for the
Series A-1, A-2 Preferred stock at March 31, 2001.
12% Cumulative Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock
Through November 21, 1995, the Company had the option to pay dividends in
additional shares of Preferred Stock in lieu of cash, (provided there were no
blocks on payment as further discussed below). Dividends are payable by the
Company, provided the Company has legally available funds under Maryland law and
is able to pay dividends under its charter and other corporate documents, when
and if declared by the Board of Directors, commencing June 1, 1990, and on each
six month anniversary thereof. Dividends in additional shares of the Preferred
Stock were paid at the rate of 6% of a share for each $.60 of such dividends not
paid in cash. Cumulative undeclared dividends as of March 31, 2001 accrued for
financial reporting purposes totaled $26.5 million. Dividends for the years 1992
through 1994 and for the dividend payable June 1, 1995 were accrued under the
assumption that the dividend will be paid in additional shares of preferred
stock and are valued at $3,950,000. Had the Company accrued these dividends on a
cash basis, the total amount accrued would have been $15,101,000. For the cash
dividends payable since December 1, 1995, the Company has accrued $22,500,000.
The Company has not declared or paid dividends since 1991, due to
restrictions and ambiguities relating to the payment of dividends contained
within its charter, its working capital facility agreement, and under Maryland
law.
