[X] Number of shares of common stock outstanding at March 20, 1997: 8,812,401 Aggregate market value of voting stock held by non-affiliates, as of March 20, 1997: $10,177,598 Documents incorporated by reference: None The undersigned Registrant hereby amends Part II, Item 7 - "Liquidity and Capital Resources" as set forth herein in substitution for the text under that caption at page 11 of Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, as filed March 26, 1997 (as amended on May 5, 1997). 2 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company ended 1996 with $6 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared with $28 million at the end of 1995. Operating activities provided net cash inflows of $3.7 million in 1996, compared with $2.8 million in 1995 and $4.0 million in 1994. This reflects the changing levels of operating income and net income over those periods. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $24.7 million in 1996, compared with a net inflow of $24.4 million in 1995 and a net outflow of $2.8 million in 1994. This reflects primarily the Company's increased commitment to marketable securities in 1996 (see below and Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Financing activities used cash totaling $1.3 million in 1996, compared with $2.6 million in 1995, and $780,000 in 1994. The 1996 and 1995 amounts reflect special dividends paid in those year, while the 1994 amount represents repurchases of the Company's common stock. Investments in marketable securities aggregated $51 million at year end compared with $23 million a year ago. This reflects the shift out of U.S. Treasury bills during 1996. Shareholders' equity totaled $62 million at the end of 1996, compared with $55 million at the end of 1995, primarily due to net income of $8.8 million recorded in 1996. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 115, and it resulted in a net unrealized gain of $861,000 in shareholders' equity at the end of 1996, compared with a net unrealized gain of $1.2 million at the end of 1995. At December 31, 1996, the Company had no liabilities for borrowed money. Special dividends of $.15 per share in each of 1996, 1995 and 1994 were declared. The Company believes foreseeable capital and liquidity requirements of existing businesses will continue to be met with funds generated from operations. 3 Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, this Registrant has duly caused this amendment to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
