Date March 27, 1997 By /s/ Charles A. Geer --------------------------------------- Charles A. Geer Chief Executive Officer Exhibit A In June 1995, 1150 Liquidating Corporation, formerly SBM Company (the "Company"), sold all of its assets to ARM Financial Group, Inc. ("ARM Financial") and filed a Notice of Intent to Dissolve with the Minnesota Secretary of State. The Company has not conducted any operations since June 1995 and is in the process of winding up its affairs. Consequently, it does not have any employees to prepare the Annual Report on Form 10-K and must rely upon outside consultants and advisors. As a result, the Annual Report on Form 10-K could not be timely filed without unreasonable effort or expense. The Annual Report on Form 10-K will be filed within 15 calendar days of the prescribed due date for that Report. Exhibit B The Company has conducted no operations subsequent to the sale of substantially all of its assets in June 1995 and therefore has had no earnings from operations after June 1995. The financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1996 that will be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 will be prepared on a liquidation basis and will contain a statement of net assets as of December 31, 1996 and a statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 1996, in addition to consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 prepared on a going concern basis.
