PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF
SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON MARCH 26, 1997

INTRODUCTION

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of Delta Holding, Inc., a Washington
corporation (the "Company"), for the Special Meeting of Shareholders (the
"Special Meeting") to be held at 10 a.m., Pacific Standard Time on Wednesday,
March 26, 1997, at the Best Western Bellevue Inn, 11211 Main Street, Bellevue,
Washington 98004, or at any adjournments thereof. This Proxy Statement, the
accompanying Proxy and other information are being mailed to shareholders on or
about February X, 1997. This Proxy Statement should be read both carefully and
in its entirety before a shareholder votes upon the proposals presented at the
Special Meeting.

A shareholder giving a proxy on the enclosed form has the power to revoke
it by written communication delivered to the Secretary of the Company at any
time before the proxy is exercised or by a duly executed proxy bearing a later
date. If a shareholder attends the Special Meeting and wishes to vote his or
her shares in person, his or her proxy will not be used. All proxies not so
revoked will be voted as instructed therein. In the absence of any instruction,
such proxies will be voted "FOR" the proposals set forth in the foregoing Notice
of Special Meeting of Shareholders.

In addition to the solicitations by mail, the officers and regularly
engaged employees of the Company may solicit proxies by telephone, telegraph or
personal calls, at no additional compensation. The Company has also engaged
Hebert Research, Inc. to assist in soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting.
Banks, brokerage firms, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries may be reimbursed
by the Company for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in sending proxy
material to their principals.

Only holders of record of the Company's common stock, $1.00 par value
("Common Stock"), at the close of business on February 1, 1997, are entitled to

receive notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting or any adjournments
thereof. The total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as of that
date was 484,128. As of the date of this Statement, the Company knows of no
other business which will be presented for consideration at the Special Meeting.
However, the proxies solicited hereby will be exercised on any other matters and
proposals that may properly come before the Special Meeting or any adjournments
thereof in accordance with the discretion of the persons named therein. The
presence at the Special Meeting, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the
shares outstanding and entitled to vote will constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business.

Summary Of The Proxy Statement

The following is a summary of material information concerning the proposals
to be voted upon by the shareholders and of certain other information contained
in this Proxy Statement. This summary is included for convenience only and is
not to be considered complete. It is qualified in its entirety by the more
detailed information and financial statements contained elsewhere in this Proxy
Statement.

At the Special Meeting of Delta Holding, Inc., a Washington corporation (the
"Company"), shareholders will be asked (i) to consent to, approve and adopt the
Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution (the "Plan") attached to this Proxy
Statement as Exhibit A and (ii) to elect Gordon H. Cheadle as the Class A
director to serve until the Company's 1998 Annual Meeting and Maynard G. Norman
and Terry L. Switzer as the Class B directors to serve until the Company's 1999
Annual Meeting.

PROPOSAL NO. 1--ADOPTION OF THE PLAN

PRINCIPAL PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN

The Board of Directors (the "Board") has approved the Plan and, as required
by applicable Washington law, is submitting the Plan to shareholders for
approval. The Plan will be adopted if approved by shareholders who hold
two-thirds or more of the Company's outstanding shares. The following is a
brief summary of the principal features of the Plan:

(i) If the Plan is adopted, all of the Company's assets, subject to
existing liabilities, will be transferred to a liquidating trust
(the "Liquidating Trust") established for the sole purpose of
collecting and disposing of the Company's assets, paying off and
discharging liabilities, and distributing the net proceeds to the
shareholders.

(ii) The Company will file articles of dissolution with the Washington
Secretary of State to dissolve the corporation under applicable
state law. Following dissolution, the Company will remain in
existence for the sole purpose of taking steps necessary to
transfer to the Liquidating Trust assets subject to liabilities,
and to facilitate the discharge of liabilities, including
determining whether and to what extent to notify its known
claimants of the dissolution in order to take advantage of the
statutory prohibition blocking claims against the Company if not
asserted within 120 days from the date of written notice to known
creditors.

-1-

(iii) Shareholders as of February 1, 1997 will automatically receive
their pro rata share of the beneficial interests in the Liquidating
Trust if the Plan is approved and the Liquidating Trust is
established. Shareholders will not be required to surrender their
stock certificates in order to acquire their beneficial interests
in the Liquidating Trust. After issuance of the beneficial
interests, such interests are not transferable except for transfers
by will, intestate succession or operation of law and except for
transfers from the record holder of shares to the beneficial owner
of such shares.

(iv) The Liquidating Trust, which will be organized pursuant to the
Liquidating Trust Agreement, will be administered by three trustees
(the "Trustees") who will have broad authority to administer the
Liquidating Trust and to dispose of its assets, subject to certain
limitations set forth in the Liquidating Trust Agreement. Gordon
H. Cheadle, James F. Johannes and Maynard G. Norman, who have
served as three of the Company's five directors, will serve as the
initial Trustees.

(v) The Trustees are charged with the responsibility of disposing of
the assets transferred to the Liquidating Trust and held on behalf
of the Liquidating Trust's beneficiaries. It is anticipated that
the Trustees will attempt to sell assets for cash, but are
authorized to sell assets on terms, if the Trustees believe in
their discretion that such sales maximize the prices at which the
assets can be sold. In no event will, however, the Trustees accept
a deferred payment arrangement providing for a final payment on the
assets sold that is more than three years after the establishment
of the Liquidating Trust.

(vi) Each of the beneficiaries in the Liquidating Trust will be entitled
to its pro rata share of distributions, if any, made by the
Liquidating Trust. It will be left to the discretion of the
Trustees to determine when such distributions should be made. The
Trustees may make one or more distributions as assets are sold and
the assumed liabilities discharged or postpone distributions until
all liabilities have been discharged or the discharge thereof
provided for and the final amounts available for distribution have
been determined.

(vii) After establishing the Liquidating Trust and transferring to it the
Company's assets, subject to existing liabilities, the Company will
deregister as a public company under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") and will no longer be subject to
the periodic reporting obligations imposed upon public companies.

-2-

(viii) The Liquidating Trust Agreement imposes certain reporting
obligations upon the Trustees for the benefit of the beneficiaries.
As soon as possible after the close of each calendar year, the
Trustees will mail to beneficiaries a statement reflecting
information which may be helpful in determining the amount of
taxable income from the Liquidating Trust that they should include
in their federal income tax returns. In addition, after the
termination of the Liquidating Trust, the Trustees will be required
to submit a written report and accounting to the beneficiaries that
will include financial statements of the Liquidating Trust. There
is no requirement that such financial statements be audited or
certified by an independent certified public accounting firm. The
Trustees may submit special reports for interim periods if they
deem it advisable.

REASONS FOR ADOPTING THE PLAN

The Board is recommending the adoption of the Plan for the following
reasons:

(i) With the Company's sale of its warranty business, the Company has
no operating business and owns only real estate assets, each of
which is on the market, making this an opportune time to proceed
with the dissolution of the Company and the final liquidation of
its assets;

(ii) Adoption of the Plan is appropriate, in the Board's view, to
realize one of the primary objectives of the Second Amended Plan of
Reorganization (the "Second Amended Plan"), the liquidation of
assets and distribution to shareholders of their pro rata share of
the Company's net value;

(iii) The Company's dissolution, and the establishment of the Liquidating
Trust, will eliminate certain administrative costs that otherwise
would have been incurred by the Company during liquidation if the
Company were not to be dissolved; and

(iv) The Plan represents, in the Board's opinion, the most prudent way
for the Company to discharge its known liabilities and to provide
for contingent and unknown liabilities.

DISADVANTAGES IN ADOPTING THE PLAN

If the Plan is approved by shareholders, the Company will cease to be a
public company and the Company's assets and liabilities will be assigned and
transferred to the Liquidating Trust. This change in status might arguably
disadvantage shareholders in several ways. Since the Liquidating Trust, as the
Company's

-3-

successor, would not be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the
1934 Act, shareholders will not have public access to the same type of
information regarding the Company that would have been available had the Company
remained a public company. The Trustees are not required to furnish the
beneficiaries quarterly or annual reports, although it is anticipated that the
Trustees will provide interim reports of the Liquidating Trust's affairs. The
Trustees must submit to the beneficiaries a final accounting of the Liquidating
Trust. There is no requirement that financial statements of the Trust be
audited. In contrast, the Company is now required to file with the SEC
quarterly and annual reports, and special interim reports when material events
affecting the Company occur, and the financial statements in the Company's
annual reports must be audited by independent public accountants. The Trustees
of the Liquidating Trust are appointed, and continue to serve as trustees,
pursuant to the terms of the Liquidating Trust Agreement. Beneficiaries do not
elect each year persons to serve as Trustees and do not have the democracy
rights available to shareholders in a public company. The interests of the
beneficiaries are not transferable, except in limited instances. See "Proposal
No. 1--Adoption of the Plan--Liquidating Trust" as to the beneficiaries' right
to transfer interests in the Liquidating Trust.

ESTIMATED LIQUIDATION VALUE OF THE COMPANY'S ASSETS

While it is impossible to determine with certainty what amount, if any,
will be available for distribution to shareholders if the plan is adopted, the
Company has prepared a Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet and included it in
Exhibit C attached to this Proxy Statement. As set forth in the Pro Forma
Consolidated Balance Sheet, assuming upon dissolution of the Company and
transfer of its assets to the Liquidating Trust as of October 1, 1996, and based
upon certain assumptions regarding the assets, liabilities and expenses of the
Company, at dissolution the net equity per share of Common Stock would have been
$2.44. This amount does not take into account interest income that may be
earned on cash held by the Liquidating Trust prior to the time it terminates.
Accordingly, based on the assumptions set forth in the Pro Forma Consolidated
Balance Sheet and the assumption that the cash held by the Liquidating Trust
will generate some interest income, the Company estimates that the
liquidating distribution from the Liquidating Trust will be between $2.44 and
$2.69 per share of Common Stock. However, the amount, if any, that may be
available when the Liquidating Trust has completed liquidation of the assets
transferred to it is contingent upon a number of factors, some of which will
be out of the control of the Company and the Liquidating Trust. See "Proposal
No. 1--Adoption of the Plan--Factors Relating to Liquidation Value of the
Company's Assets" and "--Estimated Liquidation Value of the Company's Assets"
below.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF TRANSACTION

The Company currently uses historical based cost accounting for preparation
of its financial statements. If approved, the liquidation and dissolution
proposal will be

-4-

reflected in the Company's financial statements using the liquidation basis of
accounting, which values assets at their estimated net realizable value and
liabilities at their estimated settlement amount.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The liquidation of the Company will constitute a taxable event for the
shareholders and the Company. Each shareholder's taxable gain or loss, for
federal income tax purposes, will be measured, on a "per share" basis, by the
difference between (i) the shareholder's pro rata share of the fair market
value, net of liabilities, of the assets transferred to the Liquidating Trust
and (ii) the shareholder's basis in his or her Company Common Stock. Loss will
be recognized only when the final distribution from the Company has been
received or is determinable with reasonable certainty and only if the aggregate
value of the distributions with respect to a share is less than the
shareholder's adjusted basis therein. The Company will recognize gain or loss
on the transfer of its assets to the Liquidating Trust equal to the difference
between the fair market value of the assets and the Company's adjusted basis
therein. See "Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Plan."

ABSENCE OF APPRAISAL RIGHTS

Under Washington law, shareholders of the Company will not be entitled to
appraisal rights or similar rights of dissenters with respect to the Plan.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD

Each of the five members of the Board voted to recommend a vote for
adoption of the Plan.

SHAREHOLDER VOTE

The affirmative vote of two-thirds or more of the Company's shares
outstanding and entitled to vote is required for adoption of the Plan. As a
result, any shares not voted (whether by abstention, broker nonvote or
otherwise) will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

PLANS IN EVENT PROPOSAL NO. 1 IS NOT APPROVED

Whether or not the Plan is approved, the Company does not intend to pursue
any new business activities, and the Board intends to continue the Company's
efforts to sell all remaining assets as soon as acceptable offers can be
secured. The sale of such assets, which are owned by the Company through wholly
owned subsidiaries, does not, in the Board's opinion, require the approval of
the shareholders. At such

-5-

time as the Company has disposed of all real estate and other assets, it will
cease active operations and again solicit the approval of the shareholders to
file for dissolution.

PROPOSAL NO. 2--ELECTION OF CLASS A DIRECTOR AND CLASS B DIRECTORS

It is proposed that Gordon H. Cheadle, one of the Company's directors, be
elected to serve as the Class A director until the sooner of (i) the expiration
of his term, which is a three-year term expiring with the 1998 Annual Meeting,
or (ii) his successor is duly elected and qualified. It is also proposed that
Maynard G. Norman, one of the Company's current directors, and Terry L. Switzer,
the Company's Vice President and Secretary, be elected to serve as the Class B
directors until the sooner of (i) the expiration of their term, which is a
three-year term expiring with the 1999 Annual Meeting, or (ii) their successors
are duly elected and qualified. Under the Company's Articles of Incorporation,
the Board has three classes of directors, with members of each class serving for
three-year terms. At this meeting, one Class A director and two Class B
directors are to be elected. The Class A director would have been elected at
the 1995 Annual Meeting but for the delay in holding of such meeting. See
"Delay in Holding Annual Meeting" below.

Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share with
respect to the election of each director proposed for election at the Special
Meeting. Shareholders will have a quorum for conducting business at the Special
Meeting if a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote are represented
in person or by proxy. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares
represented at the meeting is required to elect the Class A director and each of
the Class B directors. Any shares not voted (whether by abstention, broker
nonvote or otherwise) will have no impact on the vote, as long as a quorum for
conducting business is represented at the Special Meeting.

PAYMENT OF CLASS 5 CLAIMS

Prior to 1988, Delta Financial Services, Inc. ("DFS"), a predecessor to the
Company, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary, offered a note and deed of
trust program. Participants in this program loaned funds to DFS in exchange for
promissory notes secured by liens against property owned by DFS. The priority
of these liens was established by the order in which the loans were made to DFS
and the related deeds of trust recorded against the DFS properties given as
collateral. Under the Second Amended Plan, which was adopted by the Company in
1993, the outstanding notes issued under this program were characterized as
Class 5 Claims against the Company, retaining their liens against the collateral
and recognized as having a value equal to 100% of the claims, together with
accrued interest, as of the

-6-

effective date of the Second Amended Plan. The Company obligated itself to pay
accrued interest on the outstanding balance of such Class 5 Claims at 4% per
annum on September 1 of each year, commencing on September 1, 1994, and
continuing until September 1, 1996 or the earlier maturity date of the
obligation. The Second Amended Plan provided for the Company to add any unpaid
interest on the interest payment date to the outstanding balance of the Class 5
Claims. Each of the Class 5 Claims was to mature upon the earlier of September
1, 1996 or the date the collateral securing such Class 5 Claim is sold.

Due to the Company's disappointing financial performance, it did not make
any interest payments on the Class 5 Claims on either September 1, 1994 or
September 1, 1995. As provided in the Second Amended Plan, the interest that
had accrued on the Class 5 Claims as of such dates was added to the outstanding
principal balance of the Class 5 Claims and the new principal balance continued
to accrue interest at 9.5% per annum. Upon the sale of the Delta Financial
Center, the Leopold Retirement Center, the Best Western Lakeway Inn, the Carmel
Apartments and the Rockledge Apartments, which transactions were closed in 1995
and 1996, the Company retired all Class 5 Claims with liens against these
properties and paid in the aggregate approximately $9,936,000. As of September
1, 1996, the maturity date for the Class 5 Claims, the outstanding principal
plus accrued interest of the Class 5 Claims was approximately $2,050,000, all of
which was secured by liens against the Kit Carson Apartments. The Kit Carson
Apartments was sold in October 1996 and the Company used a portion of the net
sale proceeds from the sale of this project to retire the outstanding Class 5
Claims. Accordingly, all Class 5 Claims, plus accrued interest, have been
repaid in full. The balance of net proceeds from the sale of the Kit Carson
Apartments, approximately $531,000, was set aside as Company reserves.

PROPOSAL NO. 1--ADOPTION OF THE PLAN

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

In September 1987, Delta Financial Services, Inc. ("DFS") filed a
bankruptcy petition for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
DFS proposed a plan of reorganization which was declared effective by the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in November 1988 (the "First Amended Plan"). The Company was
formed at that time to facilitate DFS's plan of reorganization and in connection
therewith acquired all of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of DFS and
certain related companies (the "Delta Companies"), and assumed certain secured
and unsecured obligations of DFS. DFS's First Amended Plan covered all the
assets and liabilities of DFS and the Delta Companies, even though DFS itself
was the only party that filed for relief under federal bankruptcy laws.

Given the Company's consolidated financial performance following
consummation of the First Amended Plan, the Company was aware that it would be
unable to satisfy certain financial obligations to its creditors which matured
in September, 1993 and, correspondingly, petitioned the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to
approve a Second Amended Plan of Reorganization (the "Second Amended Plan").
Under the Second Amended Plan, which was approved in August 1993, the Company
satisfied the financial obligations of certain of its creditors by offering them
the option of exchanging their claims for either shares of the Company's Common
Stock or beneficial interests in a newly established liquidating trust, to which
the Company contributed certain assets and liabilities. Over 3,500 creditors
exercised the option of exchanging their claims for shares of the Company's
Common Stock and this exchange brought the Company within the definition of a
public company under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "1934 Act"), and, as a result, the Company registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") as a public company in
1994.

The Company succeeded to the businesses originally conducted by DFS and its
related companies which historically consisted of two segments:

(i) the ownership and operation of a number of real estate assets in
Washington and Colorado; and

(ii) the business of selling extended service contracts under the trade
name "Delta Warranty" with respect to various consumer products,
including consumer electronics, appliances, computers, office
equipment and lawn and garden equipment.

-8-

Under the Second Amended Plan, the Company was not under an obligation to
dispose of its real estate assets. However, the Company's management indicated
at the time of the Second Amended Plan that it did not intend for the Company to
remain indefinitely in the real property business but expected to dispose of the
real estate assets when market conditions were deemed favorable. Since 1993,
the Company has sold or otherwise disposed of nine properties, including the
recent sales of the Leopold Retirement Center in February 1996, the Lakeway Inn
in May 1996, the Carmel Apartments and the Rockledge Apartments in August 1996
and the Kit Carson Apartments in October 1996 as part of an overall plan for the
orderly disposition of real estate assets.

WARRANTY BUSINESS

Through the Second Amended Plan, the Company secured the opportunity to
continue its warranty business, with the hope of generating significant future
profits to increase the value of the Company and possibly to permit subsequent
distributions to shareholders. The disclosure statement accompanying the Second
Amended Plan noted that while the net receipts generated by the warranty
business had fallen substantially below original expectations, the Company's
management believed the warranty business had overcome the adverse impact
resulting from the bankruptcy proceeding of DFS and was hopeful that revenues
could be substantially increased. The Company generated sales from its warranty
business of $4,980,000 and $5,804,000 in 1993 and 1994, respectively. However,
after deferring sales to future periods representing future exposure for
warranty claims, the reported revenues from the warranty business declined from
$4,449,000 in 1993 to $3,926,000 in 1994, representing an approximate 12%
decrease in annual revenues. The Company's expenses increased from $6,076,000
in 1993 to $6,884,000 in 1994, representing an approximate 13% increase in
operating expenses. Accordingly, the Company recorded a net operating loss of
$1,627,000 and $2,958,000 in 1993 and 1994, respectively. The Company
attributes its increases in sales from 1993 to 1994 to an expansion of its
business to include power conditioning and surge suppression equipment and to an
expansion of the Company's dealer base for marketing extended warranties to
consumers. The Company experienced higher operating expenses in 1994 compared
to 1993 due to higher selling expenses and the cost of introducing in 1994 new
programs to one of the Company's major retailers for the sale of extended
warranties.

The warranty business had negative cash flow of $1,317,000 in 1994 and
$629,000 in the first seven months of 1995. This substantially depleted the
Company's cash and created severe cash flow problems. The Company used cash
from real estate operations, deferred the payment of accounts payable and
utilized funds from the sale of assets to cover the cash shortfalls due to the
warranty business.

-9-

The Company did not have any available bank lines to cover these cash
shortfalls. These cash flow problems were responsible for the Board's decision
to postpone the holding of the Annual Meeting. See "Delay in Holding Annual
Meeting."

Recognizing the financial drain of the warranty business, the Board,
beginning in the spring of 1994, explored the possibility of securing equity or
debt to fund the warranty business. The Board thought that such a capital
infusion would permit an expansion of the warranty business, improving its
profitability by taking advantage of the Company's existing management, database
on warranty claim experience, dealer network and marketing expertise. The Board
directed management to pursue opportunities for obtaining new capital, and this
led to discussions with a number of potential capital sources, but management
concluded, toward the end of 1994, that it was unlikely new capital could be
arranged for the warranty business.

During this time period, the Board also considered the feasibility of
selling the warranty business and contacted a number of potential purchasers,
including several of the Company's competitors. These inquiries led to a number
of preliminary discussions about the terms of a prospective sale and generated
several offers for the warranty business. In August 1995, the Company
consummated the sale of the warranty business to DelCor Holdings, Inc., a newly
formed corporation, partially owned by former key officers and employees of the
Company. See "Transactions Involving Directors" for a discussion of the terms
of this transaction.

REASONS FOR ADOPTING THE PLAN

The Board is recommending the adoption of the Plan for the following
reasons:

(ii) Adoption of the Plan is appropriate, in the Board's view, to
realize one of the primary objectives of the Second Amended Plan,
the liquidation of assets and distribution to shareholders of their
pro rata share of the Company's net value;

(iii) The Company's dissolution, and the establishment of a liquidating
trust ("Liquidating Trust"), will eliminate certain administrative
costs that otherwise would have been incurred by the Company during
liquidation if the Company were not to be dissolved; and

-10-

(iv) The Plan represents, in the Board's opinion, the most prudent way
for the Company to discharge its known liabilities and to provide
for contingent and unknown liabilities.

The following material provides additional explanation of the Board's
reasons for adopting the Plan.

With the Company's sale of its warranty business, the Company has no
operating business and owns only real estate assets, each of which is on the
market, making this an opportune time to proceed with the dissolution of the
Company and the final liquidation of its assets. The Company did not receive
any cash upon the sale of the warranty business that could be redeployed by
management to increase the value of the shareholders' equity in the Company.
Moreover, the Board does not believe it appropriate for the Company, at this
stage in its history, to acquire a new business or to use the proceeds from the
sale of the real estate assets for any purpose other than to discharge
liabilities and to distribute the net proceeds, if any, among the shareholders.
The remaining real estate assets are parcels of undeveloped property and as such
might be suitable for development. However, the Company does not have the
financial resources or management experience to develop the properties. Such
development and construction would require new sources of capital and new
personnel. In the Board's judgment, neither the Company's ability to obtain
financing for potential future operations nor the opportunities presented by the
remaining real estate assets seem to warrant a continuation of the Company. In
addition, the Board and management have decided that the liquidation of the
remaining corporate assets and the cessation of the Company's business
activities are most consistent with the intent of the Second Amended Plan and
represent the likely desires of a majority of the shareholders who became
shareholders of the Company only because their prior debt claims against DFS
could not be paid.

The Board expects the Company's dissolution and the establishment of the
Liquidating Trust to eliminate certain operating and administrative costs that
would otherwise be incurred by the Company if it were not to be dissolved. If
the Plan is approved, the Company will immediately transfer its remaining assets
to the Liquidating Trust, subject to then-existing liabilities, whose payment
will be specifically assumed by the Liquidating Trust. The Company will then
deregister as a public company under the 1934 Act. This action will allow the
Company to avoid the incurrence of the legal, accounting and administrative
expenses that are otherwise inherent in operating as a public company under the
federal securities laws. Following dissolution and the establishment of the
Liquidating Trust, the Company will no longer be obligated to comply with the
various regulations applicable to public companies operating subject to the 1934
Act and corporations existing under Washington law. There will no longer be a
need to hold an annual shareholders'

-11-

meeting, to prepare proxy materials to solicit shareholder approval for the
election of directors and approval for other corporate action, to prepare and
file quarterly and special reports with the Commission, and to have the
Company's financial statements audited by an independent certified public
accountant. The cost of administering the liquidation of the Company's assets
will be limited to the specific costs incurred by the Liquidating Trust (see
"--Liquidating Trust" below), which expenses are expected to be substantially
less than the costs the Company would incur if it sought to liquidate its assets
while remaining a public company subject to the extensive reporting requirements
of the 1934 Act.

The Plan represents, in the Board's opinion, the most prudent way for the
Company to discharge its known liabilities, to provide for the payment of
contingent and unforeseen liabilities and to limit its exposure as a result of
future business activities. Following dissolution, the Company will continue
its corporate existence under Washington law solely for the purpose of engaging
in activities appropriate to the winding up and liquidation of its business and
affairs. This will permit the Company to take the steps necessary to transfer
its assets to the Liquidating Trust, to discharge its liabilities and to provide
for the distribution of its remaining assets, after the payment of liabilities
to shareholders, through the Liquidating Trust. Following dissolution, the
Company will not be authorized to engage in any additional business activities,
thus limiting the Company's exposure for business activities unrelated to the
liquidation of the Company's assets.

The Washington Business Corporation Act ("WBCA") sets forth specific
procedures that may be used by a dissolved corporation to dispose of known
claims. A dissolved corporation may notify in writing its known creditors of
the dissolution at any time after its effective date. Such notice must state a
deadline, which may not be fewer than 120 days from the effective date of the
notice, by which the dissolved corporation must receive the claim. Any claim
against the dissolved corporation that is not tendered by the specified date is
time barred and, following such date, may not be asserted against the dissolved
corporation. This procedure applies only to known claims and specifically
excludes a contingent liability or a claim based upon an event occurring after
the dissolution's effective date. The WBCA also provides that a corporate
dissolution extinguishes claims against the corporation, its directors, officers
and shareholders for any right or claim existing, or liability incurred, prior
to such dissolution if action or other proceeding related thereto is not
commenced within two years after the date of dissolution. The Board expects the
Company to take advantage of these statutory provisions in such a way as to
minimize the Company's potential exposure for known and contingent claims
against the Company, thereby increasing the amount that may be available for
distribution to shareholders following the discharge of, or provision for, the
Company's liabilities.

-12-

The Liquidating Trust will assume the Company's liabilities, existing as of
its dissolution, except to the extent that such liabilities may be subsequently
discharged or relieved because the claim is not brought in a timely fashion.
Accordingly, the Liquidating Trust is not expected to have any greater exposure
for the Company's liabilities than the Company itself would have following
dissolution. Since the Liquidating Trust's business activities will be limited
to the liquidation of the Company's remaining assets, the discharge of
liabilities and the distribution of remaining assets to its beneficial owners,
it is not expected that the Liquidating Trust will incur the liabilities, or
have the potential exposure, of an active operating business.

DISADVANTAGES IN ADOPTING THE PLAN

If the Plan is approved by shareholders, the Company will cease to be
public company and the Company's assets and liabilities will be assigned and
transferred to the Liquidating Trust. Shareholders will cease to be
shareholders and become instead beneficiaries of the Liquidating Trust. This
change in status might arguably disadvantage shareholders in several ways,
including the following:

(a) Since the Liquidating Trust, as the Company's successor, would not
be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the 1934 Act, shareholders
will not have public access to the same type of information regarding the
Company that would have been available had the Company remained a public
company. The Trustees are not required to furnish the beneficiaries quarterly
or annual reports, although it is anticipated that the Trustees will provide
interim reports of the Liquidating Trust's affairs. The Trustees must submit to
the beneficiaries a final accounting of the Liquidating Trust. There is no
requirement that financial statements of the Trust be audited. In contrast, the
Company is now required to file with the SEC quarterly and annual reports, and
special interim reports when material events affecting the Company occur, and
the financial statements in the Company's annual reports must be audited by
independent public accountants.

(b) The Trustees of the Liquidating Trust are appointed, and continue
to serve as trustees, pursuant to the terms of the Liquidating Trust Agreement.
Beneficiaries do not elect each year persons to serve as Trustees and do not
have the democracy rights available to shareholders in a public company.

(c) The interests of the beneficiaries are not transferable, except in
limited instances. Interests may be transferred only by will, intestate
succession or operation of law. Accordingly, while no market has existed for
the shares of the Company's common stock, contractual restrictions upon
transfer, similar to those applicable to the Liquidating Trust, do not exist.

-13-

(d) Following the Plan's adoption, the Company may not, as a matter of
law, conduct any business except that appropriate to wind up and liquidate its
business and affairs. If shareholders thought it prudent for the Company to
continue holding its investments in real estate, to pursue new business
opportunities, or to expand the Company's current business, dissolution of the
Company would be ill-advised.

Since it is the present intent of the Board to continue liquidating the
real estate assets, and to limit the Company to winding up type activities,
whether or not the Plan is approved, shareholders who disapprove of this
strategy should make their views known to the Board and may attempt to redirect
the Company's focus by prevailing upon the Board to change its current plans or
exercising their franchise rights to elect Board members sharing a common view
for promoting the interests of shareholders.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

The Company has prepared for review by shareholders an unaudited Pro
Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet which is included in Exhibit C attached to
this Proxy Statement. The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet was prepared
as if the Plan were adopted and the Company had transferred its assets and
liabilities to the Liquidating Trust as of October 1, 1996, and as of such
date had paid or provided for all of the expenses associated with
administering the Liquidating Trust through the final liquidation of the
Company's assets and payment of its liabilities. The Pro Forma Consolidated
Balance Sheet does not purport to represent what the Company's financial
position would actually have been if the liquidation had in fact occurred as
of such date. The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet is based on
historical financial statements that should be read in conjunction with the
Company's other financial statements included in Exhibit B attached to this
Proxy Statement. Based on the assumptions made in preparing the Pro Forma
Consolidated Balance Sheet, the net equity per share of Common Stock as
of October 1, 1996 would have been $2.44. The Company will not, however,
distribute this amount to shareholders upon dissolution of the Company.
Instead, if the Plan is approved, the assets of the Company will be
transferred to the Liquidating Trust.

FACTORS RELATING TO LIQUIDATION VALUE OF THE COMPANY'S ASSETS

It is impossible to determine what amount, if any, will be available for
distribution to the shareholders if the Plan is adopted and the Company's assets
are promptly liquidated through the Liquidating Trust. The amount and timing of
distributions to the shareholders will depend upon a number of factors, which
are not within the control of the Company and which are subject to varying
market and other conditions. Principal factors affecting the amount and timing
of the distributions include, among others:

(i) The net sale price at which each of the Company's real estate
assets is sold;

(ii) The timing of the sales of the Company's real estate assets, and
whether and to what extent such asset generates a positive or
negative cash flow prior to its sale;

(iii) Whether and to what extent the Company sells a real estate asset on
terms, some of which provide for a portion of the gross sale price
for the asset to be paid over time;

(iv) The cost of administering the Liquidating Trust which will reduce
the amount distributable to beneficiaries;

(v) The extent to which the Company has unknown, but contingent,
liabilities that are assumed, and must be discharged, by the
Liquidating Trust; and

-14-

(vi) Whether the Company must discharge any of the liabilities
specifically assumed by DelCor Holdings, Inc. at the time it
acquired the warranty business from the Company. See "Transactions
Involving Directors."

ESTIMATED LIQUIDATION VALUE OF THE COMPANY'S ASSETS

Once the assets are transferred to the Liquidating Trust, the Trustees
will be charged with administering the Trust. Based on the same assumptions
as those made for purposes of preparing the Pro Forma Consolidated Balance
Sheet, but further assuming that, for these purposes, the Liquidating Trust
would invest any cash assets transferred to it in interest-bearing accounts,
the Company estimates that the ultimate liquidating distribution to
beneficiaries of the Trust (formerly, shareholders of the Company) would be
between $2.44 and $2.69 per share of Common Stock. This estimate further
assumes that there are no major costs for litigation and that no contingent
liabilities become payable. It also assumes that the Company's net operating
losses result in no taxes becoming payable. Finally, the amount ultimately
available for distribution could be more or less than the estimated amount
depending upon all of the factors set forth above in "Factors Relating to
Liquidation Value of the Company's Assets."

PRINCIPAL PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN

The Plan provides for the liquidation and dissolution of the Company
immediately after its adoption. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company will:

(i) File articles of dissolution, and such other documents as may be
necessary, with the Washington Secretary of State in order to
dissolve the corporation under the WBCA;

-15-

(ii) As soon as possible, distribute the Company's assets, subject to
all existing liabilities, to the Liquidating Trust that is being
established on behalf and for the benefit of the shareholders. See
"--Liquidating Trust" below for a discussion of the terms of the
Liquidating Trust;

(iii) Following the Company's dissolution, it will remain in existence
for the sole purpose of taking steps necessary to transfer assets
to the Liquidating Trust and to facilitate the discharge of its
liabilities, including determining whether and to what extent to
notify known claimants of the dissolution in order to take
advantage of certain statutory provisions blocking claims against
the Company if not asserted within 120 days from the date written
notice of the claim is given to the creditors;

(iv) Deregister the Company's Common Stock under the 1934 Act and take
any and all other actions as may be necessary to cause the Company
to cease to be a public company under federal securities laws;

(v) Modify or amend the Plan at any time without shareholder approval
if the Board determines such action to be in the best interest of
the Company or its shareholders; provided, however, that if the
amendment or modification will materially or adversely affect the
interest of shareholders or requires approval under applicable law,
such amendment or modification will be submitted to shareholders
for approval; and

(vi) Appoint Gordon H. Cheadle, James F. Johannes and Maynard G. Norman
as the initial Trustees under the Liquidating Trust Agreement (both
terms as hereinafter defined).

Shareholders as of the Record Date (as hereinafter defined) will
automatically receive their pro rata share of the beneficial interests in the
Liquidating Trust if the Plan is approved and the Liquidating Trust established.
After the issuance of the beneficial interests, such interests in the
Liquidating Trust are not transferable except for transfer by will, intestate
succession or operation of law. In addition, if shares are beneficially owned
by the record owner for the benefit of another, the beneficial interest may be
transferred to such beneficial owner without restriction. No transfer permitted
under the Liquidating Trust will be deemed made until written notice thereof has
been given to the Trustees.

-16-

DISSOLUTION PROCEEDINGS

Upon approval of the Plan by the holders of two-thirds or more of the
Company's outstanding shares, the Company will have elected to wind up and
dissolve in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 23B.14 of the WBCA.
Immediately following approval of the Plan, the Board will cause to be filed
with the Washington Secretary of State articles of dissolution, and such other
documents as may be necessary to formally dissolve the corporation under
applicable state law. The articles of dissolution will provide that the
dissolution is effective upon the date of their filing with the Washington
Secretary of State. Immediately following the dissolution, the Board will cause
all of the Company's assets, subject to existing liabilities, to be transferred
to the Liquidating Trust, to be held and discharged in accordance with the
provisions of the Liquidating Trust Agreement. In accordance with the Plan, the
Board will continue to act as a board of directors, and will have full power to
oversee and to wind up and settle the affairs of the Company. However, after
the Company files its articles of dissolution, the Board will cease to hold
regular meetings and, once the Company's assets are transferred to the
Liquidating Trust, it is anticipated that the Board would meet only
infrequently, on an as-needed basis. Directors will continue to be paid $500
per meeting for any meetings held following dissolution of the Company. Three
of the Company's five directors will serve as the initial trustees of the
Liquidating Trust and as such will also be compensated by the Liquidating Trust.
See "Liquidating Trust" below. However, the Company, even after dissolution,
and the Liquidating Trust will be separate entities and such individuals will
have separate meetings and responsibilities for each entity.

LIQUIDATING TRUST

If the Plan is approved, the Company will cause the Liquidating Trust to be
established to succeed to the then-existing assets and liabilities of the
Company. The Liquidating Trust will be organized under, and its operations
governed by, a Liquidating Trust Agreement substantially in the form attached to
this Proxy Statement as Appendix I to Exhibit A (the "Liquidating Trust
Agreement"). Because the Company owns most of its assets indirectly through its
subsidiaries, the Company may, in the Board's discretion, transfer to the
Liquidating Trust shares of the subsidiaries as opposed to the assets. In this
way, the Liquidating Trust will succeed to all the assets owned by the Company,
directly or indirectly, and will be able to cause the orderly dissolution of the
subsidiaries.

The Liquidating Trust will be administered by three trustees (the
"Trustees") who will have broad authority to administer the Liquidating Trust
and dispose of its assets, subject to certain limitations set forth in the
Liquidating Trust Agreement. Gordon Cheadle, James F. Johannes and Maynard G.
Norman, who have served as

-17-

three of the Company's five directors, will serve as the initial Trustees, and
each has agreed to serve in such capacity. Should a Trustee resign, be removed,
die or become incompetent or bankrupt, a vacancy will be deemed to exist and a
successor will be appointed by the remaining Trustees. If the vacancy is not
filled within 30 days, a majority of the beneficiaries of the Liquidating Trust
may call a meeting to appoint a successor Trustee. Shareholder approval of the
Plan will be deemed to include shareholder approval of the Trustees and any
successor Trustee selected pursuant to the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

The Trustees will attempt to sell or otherwise dispose of all the assets
transferred to the Liquidating Trust and held on behalf of the Liquidating
Trust's beneficiaries. It is expected that the Trustees will attempt to sell
assets for cash, but they are authorized to sell assets on terms, with a portion
of the purchase price to be deferred, if the Trustees believe, in their
judgment, that such sales maximize the price at which the assets are sold. In
deciding whether to sell assets on terms, the Trustees will take into account
the difficulty in marketing the asset, the attractiveness of the terms, the
interest rate on the deferred portion of the purchase price and the adequacy of
the collateral, if any, given to secure payment of the deferred portion of the
obligation. In no event will, however, the Trustees accept a deferred payment
arrangement providing for a final payment on the asset to be made more than
three years after the establishment of the Liquidating Trust. The Liquidating
Trust will be obligated to pay all obligations and liabilities of the Company,
including contingent liabilities, which are not paid or otherwise provided for
by the Company. The Liquidating Trust will have no obligation to pay any
liabilities of the Company which may, subsequent to dissolution, be barred
because such claim was not brought against the Company in a timely fashion. See
"--Principal Provisions of the Plan" above.

The Trustees will each receive for their services the sum of $2,400 per
year, plus $500 per meeting, and will be reimbursed for expenses reasonably
incurred in the performance of their duties. Each Trustee, employee and agent
of the Liquidating Trust will be indemnified out of the assets of the
Liquidating Trust against all liabilities and expenses incurred by him in the
performance of his duties unless he is adjudicated to have acted in bad faith or
with willful misfeasance, gross negligence or in reckless disregard of his
duties.

Limitations on the right of the Trustees to invest the Trust Estate (as
defined in the Liquidating Trust Agreement) as well as additional powers and
duties of the Trustees are set forth in the Liquidating Trust Agreement. The
Trustees, as such, are prohibited from entering into or engaging in any trade or
business with the Trust Estate or utilizing any part of the Trust Estate in
furtherance of any trade or business. They are authorized to retain sufficient
cash in one or more demand or time deposits in banks or savings institutions or
to temporarily invest and reinvest such cash in temporary investments

-18-

such as short-term certificates of deposit or Treasury bills, solely to meet
their reasonable and good-faith estimate of claims and unascertained or
contingent liabilities or contingent expenses. The Liquidating Trust Agreement
also prohibits the Trustees from selling, exchanging or otherwise transferring
any assets of the Trust Estate to any of the Trustees or their affiliates.
Unless earlier terminated by the beneficiaries, the Liquidating Trust will
continue until the earlier of the date on which all liabilities have been
discharged and the remaining assets of the Liquidating Trust have been
distributed to beneficiaries or three years after the Liquidating Trust's
formation. At the end of such period, any remaining assets will be distributed
to the beneficiaries after providing for any outstanding claims, liabilities,
debts and obligations. If any portion of the Liquidating Trust's net assets is
not duly claimed by a beneficiary, such assets will be disposed of in accordance
with applicable law.

All shareholders of the Company will automatically become beneficiaries of
the Liquidating Trust. Their interests in the Liquidating Trust will not be
transferable except by will, intestate succession or operation of law, and
except that a record holder of the Company's Common Stock may assign his or her
interest to the beneficial owner of such Common Stock, so that the beneficial
owner of the shares becomes the beneficiary under the Liquidating Trust. Each
of the beneficiaries will be entitled to its pro rata share of distributions, if
any, made by the Liquidating Trust, based upon the beneficiary's former pro rata
share of the Company's Common Stock. Subject to the requirement that the assets
of the Liquidating Trust be distributed to its beneficiaries within three years
of its formation, it will be left to the discretion of the Trustees to determine
when such distributions may be made. The Trustees may make one or more
distributions as the assets are sold and the assumed liabilities are discharged
or provided for. Following the sale of all remaining assets, the Trustees will
pay or provide for all obligations and liabilities of the Liquidating Trust and
any remaining obligations and liabilities of the Company, and they will then
distribute the net proceeds of sales and dispositions of assets pro rata to
shareholders of record as of the final record date.

The Liquidating Trust Agreement imposes certain reporting obligations upon
the Trustees for the benefit of the beneficiaries. As soon as possible after
the close of each calendar year, the Trustees will mail to beneficiaries a
statement reflecting information which may be helpful in determining the amount
of taxable income from the Liquidating Trust that they should include in their
federal income tax returns (see "Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Plan").
In addition, after the termination of the Liquidating Trust, the Trustees will
be required to submit a written report and accounting to beneficiaries that will
include financial statements of the Liquidating Trust. There is no requirement
that such financial statements be audited or certified by an independent
certified public accountant. In addition, the Trustees may submit similar
reports for interim periods if they deem it advisable.

-19-

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to Appendix
I to Exhibit A attached to this Proxy Statement.

CLOSE OF TRANSFER BOOKS

At the close of business on February 1, 1997 (the "Record Date"), the
stock transfer books of the Company were closed, and no further transfers will
be recorded. Shareholders as of the Record Date will automatically receive
their pro rata share of the beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust if the
Plan is approved and the Liquidating Trust organized. Shareholders will not be
required to surrender their stock certificates in order to acquire such
beneficial interests.

ABSENCE OF APPRAISAL RIGHTS

Under Washington law, shareholders of the Company will not be entitled to
appraisal rights or similar rights of dissenters with respect to the Plan.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD

Each of the five members of the Board has voted to recommend a vote for
adoption of the Plan.

REQUIRED SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL

CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO APPROVE PROPOSAL NO. 1

If the shareholders fail to adopt the Plan, the Board will not be
authorized to proceed with the dissolution of the Company. This will deprive
the Company of the opportunity to take advantage of the statutory provisions for
managing known and unknown claims against the Company. In addition, the Company
will remain a public company, subject to the 1934 Act, obligating it to make
periodic and special reports to the Commission, to have the Company's annual
financial statements audited and to take certain other actions to comply with
applicable federal rules and regulations.

Whether or not the Plan is approved, the Company does not intend to pursue
any new business activities. The Board intends to limit the Company's
activities to the ownership of its existing real estate activities and to
continue the Company's efforts to sell these assets as soon as acceptable offers
can be secured. Since each of

-20-

the real estate assets is owned by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the
sale of such assets may be approved by the Board, representing the Company as
the subsidiaries' sole shareholder. It is not expected that the Board will seek
the approval of the shareholders to authorize the sale of any of the real estate
assets. Moreover, if and when the real estate assets are sold, the Company will
discharge or provide for its existing liabilities and, if the Board deems it
appropriate, distribute any excess funds to the shareholders as special
dividends. At such time as the Company has disposed of all real estate assets,
it will cease active operations and again solicit the approval of the
shareholders to file for dissolution.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN

The following discussion summarizes those federal income tax considerations
that will result from the liquidation and materially affect a shareholder. The
discussion is general in nature and may not be applicable to all shareholders
because of their particular circumstances. Furthermore, it does not consider
state, local or foreign tax laws, nor does it address the U.S. income tax
consequences to persons who are subject to taxation under the laws of any
foreign jurisdiction. The Company has not requested a ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service (the "IRS") as to any aspect of the Plan. Accordingly, there
can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the conclusions set forth in
this discussion or that such a challenge will not be successful.

CONSEQUENCES TO THE COMPANY

DISTRIBUTION OF PROPERTY

As discussed below under "--Consequences to Shareholders--Gain and Loss,"
the transfer of the assets to the Liquidating Trust should be treated for tax
purposes as if the Company has distributed its net assets to the shareholders in
exchange for their shares in a plan of liquidation. Upon making a liquidating
distribution, a corporation recognizes gain or loss as if it sold the
distributed property to the distributee at its fair market value. Accordingly,
the Company will recognize gain or loss on the transfer of its assets to the
Liquidating Trust equal to the difference between the fair market value of the
assets and the Company's adjusted basis therein. However, any loss recognized
by the Company on the transfer of a subsidiary corporation to the Liquidating
Trust may be denied under consolidated return tax rules limiting the recognition
of losses on the distribution or sale of certain subsidiary corporations. To
the extent the Company recognizes gain upon the distribution of the assets, the
Company's share, as determined under the consolidated return tax rules, of the
tax net operating losses of the Company's consolidated tax return group should
generally be available to offset the taxable income, if any, recognized by the
Company upon the distribution of the

-21-

assets. Accordingly, the Company believes that the taxable consequences to it
of the distribution will be negligible.

INCOME PRIOR TO COMPLETE LIQUIDATION DISSOLUTION

After adoption of the Plan and until the winding up of its affairs is
complete, the Company will continue to be subject to tax on its taxable income
or loss, which will be derived from, among other items, investment income earned
on amounts retained to meet claims, expenses of liquidation and amounts paid in
satisfaction of certain claims. The Company's share of the remaining tax net
operating losses of the Company's consolidated tax return group should be
available to offset any taxable income recognized by the Company during this
period.

CONSEQUENCES TO SHAREHOLDERS

GAIN AND LOSS ON TRANSFER OF ASSETS

The Liquidating Trust is intended to qualify as a grantor trust that is
ignored for tax purposes. Assuming that it so qualifies, the transfer of the
assets of the Company to the Liquidating Trust will be recharacterized as the
Company's liquidating distributions of its remaining assets (net of liabilities)
to the shareholders in exchange for their shares of the Company's Common Stock.
A shareholder will recognize taxable gain or loss on these deemed distributions
equal to the difference between (i) the shareholder's pro rata share of the fair
market value, net of liabilities and measured at the time of the transfer, of
the assets transferred to the Liquidating Trust on the shareholder's behalf and
(ii) the shareholder's adjusted basis in the Company's Common Stock. This gain
or loss will be capital gain or loss for the shareholder if the shares of Common
Stock were a capital asset in the hands of the shareholder. Any capital gain or
loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shareholder held the shares
of the Company's Common Stock for more than one year. Capital gain is currently
subject to favorable tax rates.

Shareholders will compute gain or loss on a "per share" basis. Each
liquidating distribution by the Company, either directly to the shareholder or
to the Liquidating Trust on behalf of the shareholder, will be allocated
proportionately to each share of stock owned by the shareholder. Gain will be
recognized by reason of a distribution only to the extent that the aggregate
value of the distributions (including the fair market value of net assets
transferred to the Trustees of the Liquidating Trust) with respect to a share
exceeds the shareholder's adjusted basis in that share. Loss will be recognized
only when the final distribution from the Company has been received or is
determinable with reasonable certainty and then only if the aggregate value of
the

-22-

distributions with respect to a share is less than the shareholder's adjusted
basis in that share.

In order to assist them with their income tax reporting obligations, the
Company will provide shareholders with its best estimate of the net value of the
assets, if any, transferred to the Liquidating Trust on their behalf. However,
there is no assurance that the IRS will not successfully challenge the Company's
valuation or that the valuation will not otherwise prove to be incorrect. If
the subsequently determined value of amounts distributed by the Company, either
directly to the shareholders or to the Liquidating Trust on the shareholders'
behalf, is greater than the Company's prior determination of that value, the
difference will be treated as additional gain (or reduced loss). Conversely, if
the subsequently determined value of amounts distributed by the Company is less
than the Company's prior determination of that value, then the amount of gain
previously recognized would be reduced (or the prior loss increased).

GAIN AND LOSS FROM ONGOING OPERATIONS OF THE LIQUIDATING TRUST

Assuming that it qualifies as a grantor trust, the Liquidating Trust will
not be subject to tax. Instead, the beneficiaries will be deemed to directly
own a proportional interest in the assets held by the Liquidating Trust
(including a proportionate share of the stock of any former subsidiary of the
Company held by the Liquidating Trust), and any income, expenses, gains or
losses recognized by the Liquidating Trust will be includible in the
beneficiaries' income in the year incurred. Furthermore, these items will have
the same character in the hands of the beneficiaries that they would have had if
recognized by the Liquidating Trust. The basis of a beneficiary in property
held on the beneficiary's behalf by the Liquidating Trust will be its fair
market value on the date of transfer by the Company to the Liquidating Trust,
and the beneficiary's holding period (for purposes of determining whether
capital gain or loss on any sale is short-term or long-term) will be measured
from the date of transfer. Because the existence of the Liquidating Trust is
ignored for tax purposes, the beneficiaries will not recognize gain or loss upon
distributions from the Liquidating Trust. However, some of the assets of the
Liquidating Trust may consist of the stock of former Company subsidiaries that
are themselves subject to separate taxation on their corporate income. See
"Proposal No. 1--Adoption of the Plan-Liquidating Trust." The beneficiaries
will recognize gain or loss on any distributions with respect to the shares of
stock of the subsidiaries as discussed; this gain will be ordinary income, in
the case of dividend distributions and capital gain or loss with respect to
distributions in redemptions of new stock.

-23-

LIQUIDATING TRUST

Assuming that it qualifies as a grantor trust, the Liquidating Trust will
not recognize income, gain or loss upon the receipt of property from either the
Company or ongoing operations.

QUALIFICATION AS A GRANTOR TRUST

As discussed above, the Liquidating Trust is intended to qualify as a
grantor trust for tax purposes, so that the separate existence of the
Liquidating Trust will be ignored and the shareholders will be treated as the
owners of underlying assets. See "--Consequences to Shareholders--Gain and Loss
on Transfer of Assets." Nonetheless, it is not certain that the IRS will not
successfully challenge this conclusion. First, the IRS has established certain
guidelines for issuing a ruling regarding whether a liquidating trust qualifies
as a trust and is therefore eligible for grantor trust treatment. Rev. Proc.
82-58, 1982-2 C.B. 847, as modified by Rev. Proc. 91-15, 1991-1 C.B. 484. Among
the requirements set forth in these guidelines are a requirement that the trust
does not receive transfers of any unlisted stock of a single issuer that
represents 80 percent or more of the stock of such issuer. As discussed above,
it is possible that the liquidating trust will receive the stock of one or more
subsidiaries of the Company. See "Liquidating Trust." It is not clear whether
the ownership of such stock would violate the 80 percent restriction set forth
above. Arguably, it should not because the Liquidating Trust would acquire any
such subsidiary merely to cause its orderly dissolution, which is consistent
with the requirement that a liquidating trust not be operated as an ongoing
business. It is possible, however, that the IRS might conclude that the
Liquidating Trust was not a trust for tax purposes because it was entitled to
receive the stock of Company subsidiaries.

Second, the IRS ruling guidelines for liquidating trusts discussed above
require that the trustee be required to make distributions of trust proceeds at
least annually. Rev. Proc. 82-58, SUPRA. The Liquidating Trust Agreement
contains no such provision. Arguably, the Liquidating Trust is still being
conducted for the primary purpose of liquidating the assets of the Company so
that it will qualify as a trust despite the lack of an annual distribution
requirement. It is possible, however, that the Liquidating Trust will not
qualify as a trust for this reason.

Third, a recent Supreme Court decision, HOLYWELL CORP. V. SMITH, 121 S. Ct.
1021 (1992), has cast doubt upon the qualification of liquidating trusts as
grantor trusts. The Court in that case concluded that a liquidating trust
established pursuant to a plan of bankruptcy was not a grantor trust. Arguably,
the instant case is distinguishable from HOLYWELL because the Liquidating
Trust's assets are, prior to the transfer, vested in the Company so that the
trust more nearly resembles a grantor trust.

-24-

(In HOLYWELL the purported "grantor" of the trust did not have title to assets
prior to the creation of the trust.) Nonetheless, it is possible that HOLYWELL
decision might cause a court to conclude that the liquidating trust was not a
grantor trust.

If the Liquidating Trust does not qualify as a grantor trust, it may be
subject to separate taxation, either as a simple or complex trust or as an
association taxable as a corporation. If the Liquidating Trust is characterized
as an association, then any transfer of the assets of the Liquidating Trust to
the beneficiaries will be taxable to the beneficiaries with no corresponding
deduction for the Liquidating Trust.

BACKUP WITHHOLDING

A beneficiary may be subject to backup withholding at the rate of 31% in
connection with liquidating distributions received with respect to his or her
shares of stock, unless such beneficiary (i) is a corporation or comes within
certain other exempt categories and, when required, demonstrates this fact or
(ii) provides a correct taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss
of exemption for backup withholding and otherwise complies with applicable
requirements of the backup withholding rules. A beneficiary who does not
provide the Liquidating Trust with his or her correct taxpayer identification
number may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. Any amount paid as
backup withholding will be creditable against the beneficiary's income tax
liability. The Liquidating Trust will report to the beneficiaries and the IRS
the amount of any "reportable payments" distributed and the amount of tax
withheld, if any, with respect to the beneficial interests.

The foregoing discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and the related treasury regulations, administrative rulings and
court decisions as of the date hereof. The foregoing is subject to change
either prospectively or retroactively and such change could affect the
continuing validity of the discussion. In view of the complexities of the
income tax consequences of the liquidation, shareholders are urged to consult
their own tax advisers with respect to the federal income tax consequences of
the Plan as it affects them individually, as well as the state, local and
foreign consequences to them.

PROPOSAL NO. 2--ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In 1994, the shareholders approved amendments to the Company's Articles of
Incorporation that created three classes of directors and staggered the years in
which directors in each of the classes would be elected. The Board has three
classes of directors: Class A, Class B and Class C. Class A consists of only
one director whose term expires at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. It is
proposed that Gordon H. Cheadle, who is currently serving as the Class A
director, be elected to serve as the

-25-

Company's sole Class A director in accordance with the Bylaws for a term
expiring with the 1998 Annual Meeting or until his successor is duly elected and
qualified. Class B consists of two directors whose terms expire at the 1996
Annual Meeting of Shareholders. It is proposed that Maynard G. Norman, who is
currently serving as one of the Class B directors, and Terry L. Switzer, who is
currently serving as Vice President and Secretary of the Company, be elected to
serve as the Company's Class B directors in accordance with the Bylaws for a
term expiring with the 1999 Annual Meeting or until their successors are duly
elected and qualified. If the shareholders approve the Plan, the Board,
including the new Class A and B directors to be elected, will be responsible for
ensuring that the Company's assets are transferred to the Liquidating Trust and,
thereafter, will not be responsible for disposing of the remaining assets. The
following table sets forth the name, class, position with the Company and
service dates of the three individuals who have been nominated to be the Class A
and B directors of the Company.

Name Director Class Position With Company Director or Officer Since
- ---- -------------- --------------------- -------------------------

Gordon H. Cheadle Class A Director and President February 1992

Maynard G. Norman Class B Director February 1992

Terry L. Switzer Class B Vice President and Secretary November 1993

GORDON H. CHEADLE, age 64, has been a director of the Company since
February 1992 and has been the president of the Company since May 1992. Mr.
Cheadle has served as Vice Chairman of the Board since February 1992 and served
as Chairman of the Unsecured Creditors Committee during part of the time DFS was
in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Mr. Cheadle has been the proprietor of Cheadle
Design, a design and sales firm, since 1968. Mr. Cheadle also serves on the
boards of directors of Transcontinental Services Inc. and Grange Gold
Corporation.

MAYNARD G. NORMAN, age 71, has been a director of the Company since
February 1992 and served on the Unsecured Creditors Committee while Delta
Financial Services, Inc. was in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Mr. Norman has been a
sales representative for Ford in automobile sales since 1951 and has been with
Scarff Ford in Auburn since January 1981.

TERRY L. SWITZER, age 46, has been Vice President of the Company since
November 1993 and Secretary of the Company since May 1995. From April 1989
through October 1993, Mr. Switzer acted as Controller of Mayne Nickless, Inc. a
holding company for the U.S. operation's of an Australian multinational company
involved in the security and protection service industry.

-26-

The persons named in the accompanying Proxy intend to vote for the election
of Gordon H. Cheadle as the Company's Class A director and Maynard G. Norman and
Terry L. Switzer as the Company's Class B directors unless authority to vote for
one or more of them is specifically withheld in the Proxy.

Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share in the
election of each director. Shareholders will have a quorum for conducting
business at the Special Meeting if a majority of the outstanding shares entitled
to vote are represented in person or by proxy. The affirmative vote of a
majority of the shares represented at the meeting is required to elect the Class
A director and each Class B director. Any shares not voted (whether by
abstention, broker nonvote or otherwise) will have no impact on the vote, as
long as a quorum for conducting business is represented at the Special Meeting.
The Board recommends a vote FOR Gordon H. Cheadle as the Class A director and
votes FOR each of Maynard G. Norman and Terry L. Switzer as the Class B
directors.

The Board has been informed that Gordon H. Cheadle, Maynard G. Norman and
Terry L. Switzer are available to serve as a directors, but if one or more of
them should become unavailable to serve as a director or should any vacancy
occur before the election (which events are not anticipated), the proxies may be
voted for a substitute nominee selected by the Board.

The Company has no audit, compensation or nominating committee. The Board
held 11 meetings during the year ended December 31, 1994, six meetings during
the year ended December 31, 1995, and one meeting during the period ended
October 1, 1996. During 1995, all of the directors attended 75% or more of the
total number of meetings of the Board. Three out of five of the Directors
attended the 1996 meeting. Directors are to be compensated at the rate of $500
per meeting attended.

THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS

The Company was incorporated in the State of Washington in 1988. The
Company holds all of the outstanding stock in the following companies: DFS,
Delta Securities, Inc., Delta Mortgage and Escrow Company, Inc. and Delta
Management Company, Inc. The following provides a brief description of the
business activities of each of the Company's subsidiaries:

A. DFS owns a 99.5-acre parcel of undeveloped land in Graham, Washington,
an undeveloped commercial lot in Bellingham, Washington, one-half block from the
Leopold Retirement Center. DFS was the owner of the Leopold Retirement Center,
a senior citizens' apartment complex consisting of 79 apartments and 7 guest
rooms, in Bellingham, Washington, prior to its sale by DFS in February

-27-

1996. DFS also owned three other multi-family apartment projects in Colorado
(the Carmel Apartments, the Rockledge Apartments and the Kit Carson Apartments),
encompassing in the aggregate 466 apartment units. Two of the Colorado projects
were sold in August of 1996 and one was sold in October 1996.

B. DELTA SECURITIES, INC. is a real estate company whose sole activity is
to assist the Company with the disposition and sale of the real estate assets of
the Company and its subsidiaries.

C. DELTA MORTGAGE AND ESCROW COMPANY, INC. serves as the trustee under
the deeds of trust executed to secure payment of the notes issued under DFS's
note and deed of trust program. As these deeds of trust are repaid, the
corporation executes the necessary reconveyance documents to release the
property from the satisfied deeds of trust. It is anticipated that this entity
will remain active until all such obligations have been retired, and their liens
released, and then it will proceed with its dissolution.

D. DELTA MANAGEMENT COMPANY, INC. was the owner and operator of the
Lakeway Inn, a 130-room full-service hotel and convention center in Bellingham,
Washington. The Lakeway Inn was sold by Delta Management Company, Inc. in May
1996.

See "Proposal No. 1--Adoption of the Plan--Background Information" for a
more detailed discussion of the history of the Company and its subsidiaries. As
described in "Proposal No. 1--Adoption of the Plan--Warranty Business", with the
sale by the Company of all its interest in its warranty business (through its
subsidiaries, Delta Warranty of Florida, Inc. and Delta Service Administrators,
Inc.), the Company's sole remaining assets consist of the real estate assets,
all of which are currently on the market for sale. The Company is not otherwise
engaged in any active trade or business. The Company and its subsidiaries
currently employ approximately 3 individuals, including officers. It is
management's opinion that current employee relations are good in all areas.

THE COMPANY'S PROPERTIES

LEASED PROPERTIES

The executive offices of the Company are located at 258 S.W. 43rd Street,
Suite A, Renton, Washington 98055. This office space, comprising approximately
1,060 rentable square feet, is occupied pursuant to a six-month lease covering
the period from September 1, 1996 through February 28, 1997. The base monthly
rent is $1,100, and the Company is obligated to cover certain pass-through
expenses related to the leased space. The Company has the option to extend the
lease for an additional

-28-

six-month period, with the base rent increasing to $1,150 per month during the
extension period. The Company plans to exercise its option to lease the
executive offices for the additional six-month period. This lease will be
assumed by the Liquidating Trust if the Plan is approved.

OWNED PROPERTIES

Through its subsidiaries, the Company owns and operates the following
undeveloped properties:

LOST CREEK PROPERTY, 11117 Eustis Hunt Road East, Graham, Washington, is
99.5 acres of undeveloped land, approximately 50 miles south of Seattle,
suitable for single-family development. As of October 1, 1996, the property was
subject to a first mortgage with an outstanding principal balance of
approximately $131,000, which bears interest at 9.5% per annum and matures
December 1, 1998. The monthly payment is $5,403. The property is situated in
an expanding area and has good potential for single homesite development. It is
management's opinion that the property is adequately covered by insurance. The
property has a tax basis of approximately $1,500,000. The property tax is
assessed at the rate of 0.0150111 for an annual amount of $4,458.

CORNWALL PROPERTY, 1100 Cornwall Avenue, Bellingham, Washington, is an
undeveloped, commercial lot located near Bellingham Bay, approximately two
blocks from the downtown core and 1/2 block from the Leopold. As of October 1,
1996, the property is subject to a first mortgage of approximately $6,000. It
is presently rented on a month-to-month basis to a local recycling business. It
is suitable for commercial development and is being held for immediate sale.
The Company's management is of the opinion that the property is adequately
covered by insurance. The tax basis of the property is $83,000. Property taxes
are assessed at a rate of 0.0128111 for an annual amount of $984.

RECENT PROPERTY SALES

As a part of its overall plan for disposing of its real estate assets, the
Company recently has sold its interest in the Leopold Retirement Center and the
Lakeway Inn, two commercial properties located in Bellingham, Washington, and
its interests in the Carmel Apartments, the Rockledge Apartments and the Kit
Carson Apartments, three apartment projects located in Colorado. None of the
purchasers of any such properties were affiliated with the Company. The
following is a brief summary of these transactions.

BEST WESTERN LAKEWAY INN. The Lakeway Inn is Bellingham's only
full-service hotel, with 132 rooms, a coffee shop, restaurant, lounge/bar,
approximately

-29-

11,000 square feet of banquet space, an indoor, heated swimming pool, hot tub,
sauna and fitness center. The Company initially listed for sale the Lakeway Inn
in January 1995. It accepted an offer for the property in April 1995, but that
transaction failed to close. The property was placed back on the market in
August 1995, and in May 1996, the Company sold the Lakeway Inn to a new
purchaser for an all cash purchase price of $3,300,000. The Company recognized
a loss for tax purposes of approximately $295,000 upon the sale. The cash sale
proceeds were used to defray the Company's closing costs, to retire $2,769,000
in Class 5 Claims, and to pay past due real estate taxes and equipment leases.
The Company retained approximately $8,000 after the payment of such expenses.
For the first four months of 1996, the Lakeway Inn generated $69,000 in
operating losses before depreciation and interest expenses and $268,000 in
taxable losses when taking into account depreciation and interest expenses. The
property was marketed through Colliers International Hotel Realty.

CARMEL APARTMENTS. The Carmel Apartments is a two-building, three-story,
78-unit apartment complex located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In August
1996, the Company sold the Carmel Apartments for an all-cash purchase price of
$1,450,000. The book gain on the transaction for tax purposes was approximately
$520,000. Cash proceeds of the sale were used to pay closing costs, to retire a
first mortgage of $322,000 and to pay $809,000 in Class 5 Claims. The balance
of the proceeds, amounting to approximately $228,000, are being held to cover
the Company's future expenses and liabilities and as a cash reserve for future
distribution to the Company's shareholders. The property was marketed through
Marcus & Millichap.

KIT CARSON APARTMENTS. The Kit Carson Apartments, located in Security,
Colorado, is a two-building, three-story, 108-unit complex constructed in 1971.
In October 1996, the Company sold this project for an all cash purchase price of
$2,750,000. The Company recognized a gain for tax purposes of approximately
$1,185,000 on the transaction. A portion of the proceeds from the sale were
used to pay closing costs and retire outstanding Class 5 Claims of approximately
$2,050,000. The balance of the sale proceeds, $544,000, were set aside to pay
future expenses and liabilities and as reserves for distributions to the
Company's shareholders. The property was marketed by Marcus & Millichap.

LEOPOLD RETIREMENT CENTER. The Leopold Retirement Center is a senior
citizen apartment complex consisting of 79 apartments and 7 guest rooms. In
February 1996, the Company sold the Leopold Retirement Center for an all cash
purchase price of $1,654,000. The Company recognized a gain for tax purposes of
approximately $305,000 upon the sale. The cash proceeds from the transaction
were used to defray the seller's closing costs, to retire a first mortgage of
$47,000 and $114,000 in Class 5 Claims, and to pay off past due legal fees of
$169,000. The balance of the proceeds,

-30-

amounting to approximately $1,215,000, were set aside by the Company to cover
future expenses and liabilities and as a reserve for distribution to the
Company's shareholders after discharging or providing for the Company's
liabilities. The property was marketed through Marcus & Millichap.

ROCKLEDGE APARTMENTS. The Rockledge Apartments is an eight-building,
three-story, 180-unit complex with a single-story office building with basement.
The Company sold this Colorado Springs, Colorado apartment complex in August
1996 for an all-cash purchase price of $4,800,000. The Company recognized a
gain for tax purposes of approximately $205,000 upon the sale. The Company
utilized the cash proceeds of the sale to pay closing costs and to retire Class
5 Claims with an outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest of
approximate $5,493,000. The additional $1,048,000 of outstanding Class 5 Claims
secured by the lien against the property was paid out of cash reserves of the
Company. This property was also marketed on behalf of the Company by Marcus &
Millichap.

PLANS REGARDING SALE OF THE COMPANY'S REMAINING REAL ESTATE
ASSETS

The following provides a brief summary of the steps taken by the Company to
sell, or to prepare for sale, the Company's remaining real estate assets. Both
of the real estate assets in which the Company has an interest is owned by DFS,
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

LOST CREEK PROPERTY. In April 1994, the Company contracted to sell the
Lost Creek Property to a developer for $600,000. The purchaser is not
affiliated with the Company. Closing is contingent upon the developer's
receiving preliminary plat approval for a residential development from Pierce
County. The plat approval has been substantially delayed due to wetlands and
environmental issues, but the developer is still pursuing preliminary plat
approval. The Company extended the period for closing the transaction through
February 1997 in exchange for an increase in the purchase price to $620,000.
If the sale closes, the Company will recognize a loss for tax purposes of
approximately $905,000. The property is subject to a mortgage in the amount
of approximately $131,000, and the net sales proceeds, after paying the
mortgage and covering closing costs, will be added to the Company's cash
reserves.

CORNWALL PROPERTY. The Company has listed this property for sale with the
real estate brokerage firm of Miller Real Estate, Inc. (an affiliate of Coldwell
Banker of Bellingham, Washington). The Company does not intend to sell the
property to any party affiliated with the Company. The listing price is $10 per
square foot with the property encompassing approximately 10,363 square feet.
The timing and terms of any sale will be based upon negotiations with potential
purchasers. It is likely that a sale will

-31-

be subject to customary contingencies, including environmental inspection,
feasibility study, title review and property inspection. A purchase may also be
subject to the purchaser's ability to obtain financing. The Company expects
that net sales proceeds, after covering the outstanding mortgage ($6,000),
closing costs and expenses, will be added to its cash reserves.

PAYMENT OF CLASS 5 CLAIMS

Prior to 1988, DFS offered a note and deed of trust program. Participants
in this program loaned funds to DFS in exchange for promissory notes secured by
liens against property owned by DFS. The priority of these liens was
established by the order in which the loans were made to DFS and the related
deeds of trust recorded against the DFS properties given as collateral. Under
the Second Amended Plan, which was adopted in 1993, the outstanding notes issued
under this program were characterized as Class 5 Claims against the Company.
Each Class 5 Claim retained its lien, in the order of priority originally given,
against the collateral and was recognized, at that time, as having a value equal
to 100% of the amount of the Class 5 Claim, together with accrued interest. As
of September 1, 1993, the effective date of the Second Amended Plan, the Company
had outstanding Class 5 Claims of approximately $9,022,000, secured by liens
against six of the properties owned by the Company.

After the effective date of the Second Amended Plan, each Class 5 Claim was
to bear interest at 9.5% per annum. The Company was obligated to pay accrued
interest on the outstanding balance of each Class 5 Claim at 4% per annum on
September 1 of each year beginning on September 1, 1994, and continuing until
September 1, 1996 or the earlier maturity date of the obligation. Accrued
interest on each such Class 5 Claim not paid on the interest payment date was to
be added to the outstanding principal balance and, thereafter, to bear interest
at 9.5% per annum. Each Class 5 Claim was to mature upon the earlier of
September 1, 1996 or the date the collateral securing such Class 5 Claim was
sold. Upon maturity of a Class 5 Claim, the Company was obligated to retire the
Class 5 Claim by applying toward its payment the net cash available from the
sale of the collateral securing the Class 5 Claim after payment of the cost of
sale and the payment of all other secured claims having priority over the Class
5 Claim then being retired. If there was not sufficient cash to retire such
Class 5 Claim in full, the Company is to discharge the unpaid portion of the
Class 5 Claim by issuing to the holder of such Class 5 Claim Common Stock with a
fair market value equal to the unpaid portion of the Class 5 Claim.

Due to the Company's disappointing financial performance, it did not make
any interest payments on either September 1, 1994 or September 1, 1995 and,
accordingly, the interest accrued on each such date was added to the outstanding
principal balance

-32-

of the Class 5 Claim and the new principal balance continued to accrue interest
at 9.5%. The following transactions in 1995 and 1996 repaid the outstanding
principal balance and accrued interest on the Class 5 Claims:

(a) In 1995, the Company sold Delta Financial Center and retired Class 5
Claims with an outstanding principal balance, plus accrued interest, of
approximately $451,000;

(b) In February 1996, the Company sold the Leopold Retirement Center and
retired Class 5 Claims with an outstanding principal balance, plus accrued
interest, of approximately $114,000;

(c) In May 1996, the Company sold the Lakeway Inn and retired Class 5
Claims with an outstanding principal balance, plus accrued interest, of
approximately $2,769,000;

(d) In August 1996, the Company sold the Carmel Apartments and the
Rockledge Apartments and retired Class 5 Claims with an outstanding principal
balance, plus accrued interest, of approximately $6,302,000; and

(e) In October 1996, the Company sold the Kit Carson Apartments and
retired all remaining Class 5 Claims. The outstanding principal balance, plus
accrued interest, equaled approximately $2,050,000.

As of September 1, 1996, the Company was in default under the remaining
Class 5 Claims The default continued until the Kit Carson Apartments were sold.
As part of the closing all remaining Class 5 Claims, plus accrued interest
through the closing date, were paid in full.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

This Proxy Statement includes in Exhibit B the Company's financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, and for the nine
months ended October 1, 1996. The financial statements for the interim period
ended October 1, 1996 and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 (except
for the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 1995) are unaudited. SEE
"Delay in Holding Annual Meeting " below for a discussion of the reasons why the
Company's 1994 year-end financial statements are unaudited and why the Company's
1995 year end financial statements (except for its balance sheet) are unaudited.

-33-

The following constitutes management's discussion and analysis of the
results of operations and financial condition for the years ended December 31,
1995 and 1994, and for the period from January 1, 1996 through October 1, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

BACKGROUND

During the relevant periods, continuing operations consist of the
property-owning activities of the Company. The Company's properties are the
Leopold Retirement Inn, an independent living facility for the elderly in
Bellingham, Washington; the Best Western Lakeway Inn, a full-service hotel also
located in Bellingham; and several apartment buildings located in or near
Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Discontinued operations consist of the activities carried out under the
trade name "Delta Warranty," and include the marketing and distribution of
extended service contracts and surge suppression equipment coupled with extended
service contracts. This business segment is treated as discontinued operations
because the business was sold as of August 1, 1995. The results of its
operations are reported separately.

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1996 VS. THE NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Revenues from the property operations decreased 48% from $4,790,000 in
1995 to $2,506,000 in 1996, a decrease of $2,284,000. All of the decrease was
caused by the loss of revenue from the disposal of the following properties: the
Delta Financial Center office building sold in August 1995, the Leopold
Retirement Inn sold in February 1996, the Best Western Lakeway Inn sold in May
1996, and the Rockledge Apartments and Carmel Apartments in August 1996.

Operating expenses for the property operations decreased 48% from
$3,815,000 in 1995 to $1,954,000 in 1996, a decrease of $1,861,000. The
reduction in operating expenses was proportional to the reduction in revenue.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased 19% from $875,000 in 1995 to
$707,000 in 1996, a decrease of $168,000. This decrease was due to lower
payroll expenses and reduced advertising expenses, partially offset by higher
professional fees resulting from legal work relating to the sale of various
properties.

Combining the reduced revenues, the proportionately reduced operating
expenses, and decreased selling and administrative expenses, the operating
results

-34-

before interest and other income/expenses decreased from $100,000 in 1995 to a
loss of $155,000 in 1996. Interest income decreased from $108,000 in 1995 to
$38,000 in 1996, due to the loss of interest-bearing restricted investments held
in the warranty business during 1995. Interest expense decreased from $760,000
in 1995 to $553,000 in 1996, reflecting decreased mortgages and deeds of trust
balances resulting from the sale of the Leopold Retirement Inn, Best Western
Lakeway Inn, and Rockledge and Carmel Apartments.

The 1996 statement of operations contains a gain of $3,223,000 from the
disposal of assets. $365,000 of this amount is from the sale of the Best
Western Lakeway Inn in May 1996. Another $96,000 is from the sale of the
Leopold Retirement Inn in February 1996. The gain on the sale of the Rockledge
Apartments was $2,193,000 while the Carmel Apartments had a gain of $569,000.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 VS. THE YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1994

Revenues from property operations increased 4%, from $6,200,000 in 1994 to
$6,418,000 in 1995, an increase of $218,000. Of this increase, $52,000 was due
to increased occupancy of the Best Western Lakeway Inn, reversing a five year
decline in occupancy caused by overbuilding of the hotel industry in Bellingham.
The remaining $166,000 of the overall increase was due to a combination of
improved occupancy and rent increases in the Colorado apartments, reflecting the
strong local economy in Colorado Springs.

Operating expenses for the property operations decreased 6% from $5,294,000
in 1994 to $4,977,000 in 1995, a decrease of $317,000. Of this decrease,
$265,000 was caused by lower depreciation expense, reflecting the lower value of
properties after the recording of a $3,700,000 property valuation loss in 1994.
The balance of the decrease reflects lower property taxes and reduced personnel
costs at the Best Western Lakeway Inn.

Selling and administrative expenses declined 24% from $1,481,000 in 1994 to
$1,125,000 in 1995, a decrease of $356,000. Virtually all of this decrease was
due to reduced corporate expenses. These expenses declined in relation to 1994
due to one-time legal and professional fees incurred in 1994 for the Company's
original stock issuance and registration. Also contributing to the decline were
the reductions in corporate staff after the sale of the warranty operations on
August 1, 1995.

The combination of increased revenue and reduced expenses resulted in an
increase in operating profit of $891,000, from a loss of $575,000 in 1994 to a
profit of $316,000 in 1995. Interest income declined in 1995 from $225,000 in
1994 to

-35-

$112,000 in 1995. This reduction in interest income was due to smaller amounts
of interest-bearing restricted investments held in the warranty business during
1995 and then, with the sale of the warranty operations in mid-1995, the loss of
all such interest bearing funds. Interest expense increased slightly from
$976,000 in 1994 to $1,036,000, reflecting increased deeds of trust balances on
several properties as the deferred interest from the prior year accumulated
within the principal balance and started to earn interest.

The 1994 income statement contains a $3,700,000 valuation loss on property.
This amount was recorded in 1994 based on the market values of the Best Western
Lakeway Inn and the Leopold Retirement Inn determined by professional real
estate agents engaged in December 1994 to sell the properties. The agents
engaged were specialists in the areas of hotel properties and senior living
facilities, respectively. The valuation losses of $2,800,000 on the Best
Western Lakeway Inn and $900,000 on the Leopold Retirement Inn reflected the
amounts necessary to reduce the carrying values to the anticipated selling
prices. The carrying values of the two properties had previously been based on
professional appraisals that utilized a variety of methods, including physical
replacement cost, to determine their values.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The warranty operations recorded an operating profit of $9,000 in the three
months ended September 30, 1995 and a loss of $409,000 for the nine months ended
the same date. The warranty operations also incurred negative cash flow of
$629,000 during the nine month period. Because of these losses and negative
cash flows, the Board of Directors decided to sell the warranty business,
resulting in the transaction completed on August 1, 1995. In that transaction,
the Company transferred all warranty business assets and liabilities to the
buyer. The Company received no compensation, other than the relief from the
warranty-related liabilities, in the transaction. Because the liabilities
transferred substantially exceeded the assets transferred, the Company recorded
a gain of $2,263,000 on the sale.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND FUTURE PLANS

At October 1 1996, the Company had total assets of $2,636,000, total
liabilities of $2,234,000, and stockholders' equity of $402,000. The major
asset of the Company is property, which comprises $1,926,000 of the total
assets. All of the property is categorized as property held for sale and
therefore carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. It is the
intention of the Board to sell all the property, retire the related secured debt
and other liabilities, and return any remaining funds to the shareholders. The
Directors have initiated this process and intend to complete it as soon as
possible. To facilitate this process and to reduce expenses until such time

-36-

as the residual funds can be returned to shareholders, the Board is submitting
the Plan to the shareholders to transfer the remaining assets of the Company to
a liquidating trust. To be approved, shareholders representing two-thirds of
the total outstanding shares must approve the plan.

The major liability of the Company at October 1, 1996, was debt secured by
the properties, totaling $2,167,000. Of this amount, $137,000 was in the form
of first mortgages to banks, with the remaining $2,030,000 in the form of deeds
of trust. The deeds of trust matured on September 1, 1996.

As disclosed in Note 6 of the financial statements for the interim period
ended October 1, 1996, in Exhibit B, subsequent to October 1, 1996, the Company
sold the Kit Carson Apartments in Security, Colorado. The sale price of Kit
Carson Apartments was $2,750,000 and the gain on the transaction was
approximately $1,185,000.

At October 1, 1996, the Company had $621,000 cash on hand and $50,000 in
accounts receivable. Accounts payable and accrued expenses totaled $107,000.
Given the positive working capital, the Company is able to meet its obligations
as they become due.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

BOARD REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation policies with respect to the Company's employees in general
are determined by the Board. The foundation of the Company's compensation
policies is the view that the Company's success is attributable to the efforts
of its employees, including its executive officers. Compensation of executive
officers is determined by

-39-

the Board on a performance basis and in comparison to comparable positions in
comparable industries.

The compensation of David L. Larson, the Company's former President and
Chief Executive Officer, was established and approved by the U. S. Bankruptcy
Court while the Company remained subject to the court's jurisdiction as part of
DFS's reorganization under Chapter 11 and was maintained at that level after the
Company emerged from Chapter 11. The compensation of Gordon H. Cheadle and the
other executive officers and Terry L. Switzer was established at their
employment commencement date in conjunction with their employment contracts and
is reviewed periodically.

By Order of the Board of Directors

Gordon H. Cheadle
President and Vice Chairman of the Board

(1) Mr. Cheadle has served as President and Chief Executive Officer since
August 1995.

(2) Mr. Larson served as President from April 1991 through July 1995. He
resigned at the time of the Company's sale of its warranty business to
DelCor Holdings, Inc.

TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING DIRECTORS

On August 1, 1995, the Company sold, pursuant to an Asset Purchase
Agreement dated as of July 31, 1995 ("Asset Purchase Agreement"), to DelCor
Holdings, Inc. ("DelCor") its warranty business and certain other non-real
estate assets. DelCor is a newly formed Washington corporation which was
organized for the purpose of acquiring these assets by David L. Larson and Eric
Kord, two former executive officers of the Company, and Nomad, Inc., a newly
organized Washington corporation owned and controlled by Michael Heijer.
Messrs. Larson and Kord resigned as the Company's President and Vice President,
respectively, immediately prior to the consummation of the sale. Messrs. Larson
and Kord and Nomad, Inc. own 42.5%, 15% and 42.5% respectively, of DelCor's
common stock.

The Company consummated the transaction by (i) causing Delta Management
Company, Inc. ("DMC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to transfer to
DelCor substantially all of DMC's non-real estate assets and (ii) selling
directly to DelCor all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Delta
Warranty of Florida, Inc. ("DWF") and Delta Service Administrators, Inc.
("DSA"), two other wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. Immediately prior
to the sale, DWF transferred to DFS, another wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, fee simple interest in two real estate assets, the Leopold Retirement
Center, a housing project for the elderly in Bellingham, Washington, and the
Lost Creek Property, a 99.5-acre parcel of undeveloped land in Pierce County,
Washington. These assets were transferred out of DWF because the sale was not
to involve the transfer of any real estate assets from the Company or its
subsidiaries to DelCor.

The assets sold to DelCor included furniture, fixtures and equipment,
inventory, accounts receivable, rights under business agreements, intangible
property rights, licenses and authorizations (to the extent assignable),
contract rights under existing warranty agreements, and the rights to certain
balances held in escrow and bank accounts previously established to secure the
subsidiaries' obligations under the issued warranty contracts.

-41-

The book value of the assets transferred was $5,453,000. The book value of
liabilities transferred was $7,716,000, giving rise to a gain of $2,263,000 on
the transaction.

The Company did not receive any cash from DelCor in exchange for these
assets, but DelCor assumed, pursuant to an Assumption of Contracts, Obligations
and Liabilities (the "Assumption Agreement") specified liabilities of the
Company, DMC, DWF and DSA (collectively, the "Delta Warranty Companies")
specifically listed in the Assumption Agreement (collectively, the "Scheduled
Liabilities"). The Scheduled Liabilities included, among others, obligations of
the Delta Warranty Companies under the licensed business agreements; the
equipment, office and automobile leases of the Delta Warranty Companies; all
claims and liabilities under the warranty contracts in effect as of the closing
or that might arise on or after the closing; ordinary trade payables and accrued
expenses associated with the non-real estate business of the Delta Warranty
Companies, exclusive of certain accrued legal and accounting expenses in excess
of stipulated ceilings; and accrued but unpaid liabilities under claim insurance
policies previously maintained by the Delta Warranty Companies. In addition,
DelCor agreed to assume responsibility for the prosecution and defense of
pending litigation with Electronic Systems Protection, Inc., a vendor of surge
protection equipment, previously sold to DMC.

Based upon the financial statements and schedules prepared at the closing,
DelCor assumed responsibility for the payment of trade payables and accrued
expenses of approximately $1,790,000 and accrued legal and accounting fees of
approximately $106,000. Neither the Asset Purchase Agreement nor the Assumption
Agreement attempted to quantify the amount of other Scheduled Liabilities and
certain of those liabilities, such as amounts now payable or in the future
payable under the assumed warranty contracts, are uncertain in amount. Over the
last three years, the Company's claims under warranty contracts have been in the
range of 25% to 35% of the premiums. Should that claims experience persist as
to the warranties now outstanding, DelCor would be responsible for $1,600,000 to
$2,200,000 on the warranty contracts assumed. There is, however, no certainty
that this will be the claims experience as to the outstanding warranties.

Because the warranties transferred by the Company to DelCor were originated
by the Company, the Company remains obligated for such warranty obligations
until they expire. All of the warranty obligations transferred to DelCor
should expire within 72 months after closing of the sale to DelCor. Under the
Assumption Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, DelCor is obligated to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company and DMC from all claims, liabilities,
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by either of
them as a result of DelCor's failure or refusal to pay the Scheduled
Liabilities. DelCor's indemnification obligation is

-42-

secured by an interest, in favor of the Company and DMC, in past, present and
future accounts receivable, and the future fixtures and equipment, of DelCor,
DWF and DSA, and DelCor's rights to distributions that may subsequently be made
with respect to a cash reserve account held by K-Mart to secure Delta Warranty
Companies' obligations on warranty contracts written for K-Mart consumers. Such
security interest is subordinate to claims that K-Mart may have against the
amount in such cash reserve account and to liens that may subsequently be
granted by DelCor in favor of unaffiliated third-party lenders who provide
financing to DelCor to conduct its warranty business. If DelCor obtains
insurance to cover claims against DelCor and the Delta Warranty Companies under
the warranty contracts sold to K-Mart customers, the Company and DMC are
obligated to release their security interest in the amounts held in the K-Mart
cash reserve account; provided that, following such release, there is, in the
opinion of the Company and DMC, sufficient remaining collateral to secure the
outstanding uninsured liabilities assumed by DelCor under the Asset Purchase
Agreement. In any event, the Company and DMC are to release their security
interest in the K-Mart cash reserve account no later than 30 months after the
closing.

The Company and DMC are, in addition, obligated to indemnify and hold
harmless DelCor from all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by DelCor as a result of any liabilities
other than those stipulated as Scheduled Liabilities.

Terry L. Switzer, the Company's Vice President, represented the Company in
negotiating the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, and it was presented to
the Board for review and approval.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Deloitte & Touche LLP, 700 Fifth Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98104, which
has served as the Company's independent auditor since 1988, has been selected to
continue as the Company's independent auditor for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1995. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP will be present at the
Special Meeting and, accordingly, will be available to respond to questions and
to make a statement if they so desire. If the shareholders do not approve the
Plan, the Company intends to select Deloitte & Touche LLP to conduct any
additional audits that may be required in order to comply with applicable
federal securities laws.

-43-

MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON COMMON EQUITY AND OTHER
SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

The Company has issued a total of 484,128 shares of Common Stock and
currently has 3,501 shareholders. No shares of Common Stock are subject to
outstanding option or warrants. No persons have any right to cause the Company
to register shares of Common Stock or to list on any exchange. No dividends
have been declared or paid on any shares of Common Stock during the past two
fiscal years. The Company is not subject to any restrictions on paying
dividends in the future.

There is no established public trading market for the Company's Common
Stock. It is unlikely that a market for the Common Stock will develop in the
future. The Company does not meet the qualifications to list on the New York
Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market.
The Common Stock is currently not listed on the National Association of
Securities Dealers OTC (over-the-counter) Electronic Bulletin Board or published
in the National Daily Quotation Service Pink Sheets. The Common Stock remains
subject to applicable state securities laws regulating resale, which could
inhibit trading in the Common Stock.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On November 29, 1995, Esfeld Investment Services ("Esfeld") submitted to
the Company a demand for arbitration to resolve whether and to what extent
Esfeld was entitled to commissions as a result of the sale of the warranty
business to DelCor. Esfeld claims that such commissions are due under the terms
of a Limited Client Consultant Fee Agreement entered into in September 1994.
The Company denied that a commission is owed to Esfeld under that agreement. In
April 1996 the arbitrator ruled in favor of the Company holding that no
commissions or other payments were due to Esfeld under the Consultant Fee
Agreement.

PROPOSALS OF SHAREHOLDERS

The Company has not received any proposals from shareholders for inclusion
in the Company's proxy materials for either the 1995 or 1996 Annual Meeting
or for the Special Meeting. Proposals that shareholders wish to include in the
Company's proxy statement and form of proxy for presentation at the 1997
Annual Meeting, if any, must be received by the Company at 258 S.W. 43rd
Street, Suite A, Renton, Washington 98055, attention of the Corporate
Secretary, no later than March 1, 1997.

-44-

DELAY IN HOLDING ANNUAL MEETING

This Proxy Statement has been prepared in connection with the holding of
the Special Meeting at which shareholders of the Company will consider the
proposals described herein and conduct the business of the Company's Annual
Meeting. The holding of this Annual Meeting has been substantially delayed,
inasmuch as the Company was, under its Bylaws, obligated to hold Annual Meetings
on May 19, 1995 and again on May 19, 1996. The Board refrained from calling the
Annual Meetings because, through 1995 and into the second quarter of 1996, the
Company did not have available cash to pay the accounting and legal expenses
incident to holding an Annual Meeting.

Under existing federal laws and regulations, the Company must include in
the proxy solicitation materials sent to its shareholders audited financial
statements for the prior fiscal year. As of May 1995, when the Annual Meeting
should have been held, the Company owed approximately $120,000 in accounting
fees to Deloitte & Touche, LLP, the Company's independent public accountants,
which fees had been incurred for the accountants' 1993 audit and assistance to
the Company in registering its securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. In addition, the Company owed at that time approximately $150,000 in
legal fees incurred for legal counsel's assistance with federal securities law
compliance, real estate transactions and miscellaneous corporate matters. Given
the Company's financial performance through 1994 and 1995, the Company did not
have the cash to pay these accounting and legal fees, and the additional fees
that would be incurred in preparing for the Annual Meeting, without forcing the
Company to fail to pay other critical payables necessary to cover the operating
expenses on the Company's real estate investments and to pay warranty claims,
employee salaries, marketing expenses and other expenditures deemed essential to
the then ongoing operations of the warranty business. The Board decided that it
was in the best interest of the shareholders for the Company to pay the critical
business expenses necessary to protect the value of the Company's investments
and assets, while deferring the holding of the Annual Meeting until additional
capital might be raised or assets sold to generate sufficient cash to cover past
and current accounting and legal expenses. The Board wished to avoid forcing
the Company into a bankruptcy proceeding, believing bankruptcy to be extremely
unattractive due to the delays and complications of obtaining U.S. Bankruptcy
Court approval to conduct business, the cost of administering the bankruptcy
case, and the likely impact that bankruptcy would have upon the Company's trade
creditors, customers, shareholders and others.

Throughout 1995, the Board sought to address the Company's liquidity
problems by seeking additional capital and attempting to sell one or more of the
Company's primary assets. Management actively solicited buyers for the warranty
business, whose activity was primarily responsible for the Company's severe cash
flow problems, and such efforts ultimately led to the sale of the warranty
business, but

-45-

the sale did not generate cash that could be used by the Company to pay off the
outstanding accounting and legal bills and other expenses. SEE "Transactions
Involving Directors." Furthermore, while efforts were made to sell the real
estate assets of the Company, no sales were consummated in 1995, other than the
sale of the Delta Financial Center. See "Recent Property Sales" and "Plans
Regarding Sale of the Company's Real Estate."

Recognizing that the Company's efforts to raise additional cash to cover
the expenses of the Annual Meeting might not be successful, the Board asked the
Company's counsel to prepare, without requiring immediate payment of past due
legal fees and the cost of the additional services, a no-action request to the
Commission seeking the Commission's waiver of the requirement that its 1994
proxy solicitation materials include an audit of the 1994 financial statements.
The Company's counsel consented to assist with the preparation of this letter
and it was submitted to the Commission in September 1995. The Company based its
request for a waiver of the audit requirement primarily upon the grounds that
requiring an audit of the 1994 financial statements would impose a substantial
financial burden upon the Company and its shareholders and would delay, perhaps
indefinitely, the holding of its Annual Meeting. The Commission was advised
that the proxy solicitation materials would include the proposal for the
dissolution of the Company and the transfer of its assets, subject to existing
liabilities, to a liquidating trust and that if the Plan were approved, the
Company would immediately proceed to deregister as a public company under the
1934 Act. In November 1995, the Commission advised the Company that, based upon
the information in its no-action request, the Commission would not recommend any
action against the Company based solely on the Company's failure to provide
audited 1994 financial statements in its proxy statement for the Annual Meeting.
The Commission also advised the Company that, if the Plan were not approved, the
Company would be expected to fully comply with its reporting obligations under
the 1934 Act for all periods.

Upon notice from the Commission's staff during the week of January 22, 1996
that it intended to conduct a full review of the Company's preliminary materials
with comments to follow within 30 days of such notice, the Company recognized
that the resulting delay would require the Company to update its financial
statements to include financial information for the year ended December 31,
1995. The necessity of filing unaudited financial statements for two fiscal
years was not contemplated when the Company's counsel made its no action request
relating to the 1994 financial statement. Therefore, the Company's counsel
submitted an additional no-action request to the Commission dated January 25,
1996 seeking the Commission's waiver of the requirement that its 1994 proxy
solicitation materials include an audit of the 1995 and 1994 financial
statements. The Company based its request for a waiver of the audit requirement
primarily upon the same grounds asserted in its initial waiver

-46-

request. In a letter dated February 5, 1996, the Commission advised the Company
that, based upon the information in its no-action request, the Commission would
not recommend any action against the Company based solely on the Company's
failure to provide audited 1994 financial statements and audited 1995 financial
statements of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity in the
proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, provided that an audited December 31,
1995 balance sheet and unaudited financial statements containing all of the
required information were included in the proxy materials. The Commission also
advised the Company that, if the Plan were not approved, the Company would be
expected to fully comply with its reporting obligations under the 1934 Act for
all periods and that, with respect to any future filings under the l933 Act, the
Commission would not accept unaudited statements of the Company for any periods
for which audited financial statements are required by applicable federal
securities laws.

The Company has paid out of cash from operations and from the sale of its
properties the accounting fees owed to Deloitte & Touche LLP and the legal fees
owed by it.

DELINQUENT SEC FILINGS

The Company failed to file with the SEC Form 10-Ks for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994, Form 10-Qs for the second and third quarters of
1995, and Form 8-Ks upon the sale of the Leopold Retirement Center and the
Lakeway Inn. The Company filed with the SEC a Form 10-Q for the first quarter
of 1995, Form 10-Qs for the first and second quarters of 1996 and filed these
proxy materials with the SEC prior to their distribution to the shareholders.
If the Plan is approved by the shareholders, the Company will deregister as a
public company under the 1934 Act, not make any further filings with the SEC
other than that necessary to deregister, and proceed to liquidate as outlined in
these proxy materials. On the other hand, if the Plan is not approved by the
shareholders, the Company will remain subject to the periodic reporting
obligations of the 1934 Act. The SEC staff has also confirmed that, if the Plan
is not approved, the Company must promptly file with the SEC the delinquent SEC
filings.

OTHER MATTERS

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board knows of no other matters
that are to be brought to a vote at the Special Meeting. If any other matter
does properly come before the Special Meeting, however, the persons appointed
in the enclosed form of Proxy or their substitutes will vote in accordance with
their best judgment on such matters.

-47-

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company, including
expenses in connection with preparing, assembling and mailing this Proxy
Statement. Proxies may be solicited by the Company's officers and regular
employees. Such solicitations may be made personally or by mail, telephone,
facsimile or telegram.

In addition, the Company has entered into an agreement with Hebert
Research, Inc. under which it will use its best efforts to solicit shareholders
to grant their approval of the proposals described in these proxy materials.
The Company has agreed to indemnify Hebert Research, Inc. against certain
liabilities, including certain liabilities under the federal and state
securities laws.

TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS PURPORT TO INCLUDE
INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES UNDER THE 1934 ACT, IN THE OPINION OF THE
COMMISSION, SUCH INDEMNIFICATION IS CONTRARY TO PUBLIC POLICY AND, THEREFORE,
UNENFORCEABLE.

DELTA HOLDING, INC.

LIQUIDATING TRUST AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT AND DECLARATION OF TRUST (this "Agreement") dated
___________________, 1997 by and between Delta Holding, Inc., a Washington
corporation (the "Company"), and Gordon Cheadle, James F. Johannes and Maynard
G. Norman (together the "Trustees").

On November __, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company ("the Board")
adopted and voted to submit to the shareholders of the Company a Plan of
Complete Liquidation and Dissolution of the Company in accordance with Section
336 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Plan"). The Plan was
adopted by the shareholders of the Company at a meeting held on March __, 1997.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Board has determined that it is appropriate to create
this liquidating trust.

In consideration of the premises, the Company hereby grants, releases,
assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers unto the Trustees for the benefit of
the shareholders of the Company as of the Record Date (as hereinafter defined)
and their permitted successors and assigns as herein provided (the
"Beneficiaries"), all of the Company's right, title and interest in and to the
assets listed on Schedule 1 hereto (the "Trust Assets"), in trust for the uses
and purposes stated herein, subject to the terms and provisions set out below,
and the Trustees hereby accept the Trust Assets and such Trust, subject to the
terms and provisions hereof.

ARTICLE I. NAME AND DEFINITIONS

1.1 NAME

The trust shall be known as the "Delta Holding Liquidating Trust."

1.2 Certain Terms Defined

For all purposes of this instrument, unless the context otherwise requires:

(a) "Beneficial Interest" shall mean the proportionate share of each
Beneficiary in the Trust Estate determined by the ratio of the number of
issued and outstanding Shares held by each Beneficiary on

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPENDIX I TO EXHIBIT A. PAGE 1

the close of business on the Record Date to the number of such issued and
outstanding Shares held on such date by all Shareholders.

(b) "Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(c) "Effective Date" shall mean the date of this Agreement, being the
first date on which the distribution of assets from the Company to the
Trustees occurs.

(d) "Record Date" shall mean the date selected by the Board for
determination of the shareholders of the Company entitled to become
Beneficiaries.

(e) "Shares" shall mean the shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par value,
of the Company.

(f) "Shareholders" shall mean the holders of record of the
outstanding Shares at the close of business on the Record Date.

(g) "Trust" shall mean the trust created by this Agreement.

(h) "Trust Estate" shall mean all the property held from time to time

Trust Assets and, in addition, shall thereafter include all dividends,
rents, royalties, income, proceeds and other receipts of or from the Trust
Estate.

(i) "Trustees" shall mean the original Trustees and their successors.

ARTICLE II. NATURE OF TRANSFER

2.1 PURPOSE OF TRUST

The sole purpose of the Trust is to liquidate the Trust Estate in a manner
calculated to conserve and protect the Trust Estate, and to collect and
distribute the income and proceeds therefrom to the Beneficiaries in as prompt
and orderly a fashion as possible after the payment of, or provision for,
expenses, debts and liabilities. The Trust is not organized for, and shall have
no responsibility, objective or authority to carry on, a profit-making business
that would normally be conducted by a business organization classified as a
corporation or partnership. The Trustees shall take no action that would unduly
prolong the duration of the Trust.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPENDIX I TO EXHIBIT A. PAGE 2

2.2 INSTRUMENTS OF FURTHER ASSURANCE

After the liquidation and dissolution of the Company, such persons as have
the rights and power to so act will, upon reasonable request of the Trustees,
execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments and do such further
acts as may be necessary or proper to effectively carry out the purposes of this
Agreement, to transfer to the Trustees any property intended to be covered
hereby and to vest in the Trustees, and their successors and assigns, the
estate, powers, instruments or funds in trust hereunder.

2.3 PAYMENT OF COMPANY LIABILITIES

The Trustees hereby assume all the claims, debts, liabilities and
obligations (including unascertained or contingent liabilities and expenses) of
the Company, except for those claims, debts, liabilities and obligations of the
Company that are subsequently discharged by the Company's compliance with the
procedures set forth in RCW 23B.14.060 and that expire as a result of the
application of RCW 23B.14.340. Should any liability be asserted against the
Trustees as the transferees of the Trust Estate or as a result of the assumption
made in this Section 2.3, the Trustees may use such part of the Trust Estate as
may be necessary in contesting any such liability or in payment thereof, but in
no event shall the Trustees, Beneficiaries or employees or agents of the Trust
be personally liable, nor shall resort be had to the private property of such
persons, in the event the Trust Estate is not sufficient to satisfy the
liabilities of the Trust.

2.4 INCIDENTS OF OWNERSHIP

The Shareholders shall be the Beneficiaries of the Trust created by this
Agreement, and the Trustees shall retain only such incidents of ownership as are
necessary to undertake the actions and transactions authorized herein.

ARTICLE III. BENEFICIARIES

3.1 BENEFICIAL INTERESTS

hereof shall be determined by the Trustees in accordance with a certified copy
of the Company's shareholder list as of the Record Date, which list is being
delivered by the Company to the Trustees herewith.

(b) When the Trustees have determined the Beneficial Interests of the
Shareholders, they shall notify each Shareholder of the amount of his Beneficial

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPENDIX I TO EXHIBIT A. PAGE 3

Interest and, in the Trustees' discretion, shall advise him to surrender his
certificate for Shares.

(c) No Shareholder is obligated to surrender his certificates
representing Shares in order to obtain his Beneficial Interest in the Trust.

3.2 RIGHTS OF BENEFICIARIES

Each Beneficiary shall be entitled to participation in the rights and
benefits due to a Beneficiary hereunder according to such Beneficiary's
Beneficial Interest. Each Beneficiary shall take and hold the same subject to
all the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The interest of the Beneficiary
hereby is declared and shall be in all respects personal property, and, upon the
death of an individual Beneficiary, such Beneficiary's interest shall pass as
personal property to the legal representative and such death shall in no way
terminate or affect the validity of this Agreement. A Beneficiary shall have no
title to, right to, possession of, management of or control of the Trust Estate,
except as herein expressly provided. No widower, widow, heir or devisee of any
person who may be a Beneficiary shall have any right of dower, homestead or
inheritance, or of partition, or of any other right, statutory or otherwise, in
any property whatever forming a part of the Trust Estate, but the whole title to
all the Trust Estate shall be vested in the Trustees, and the sole interest of
the Beneficiaries shall be the rights and benefits given to such persons under
this Agreement.

3.3 NO TRANSFER OF INTERESTS OF BENEFICIARIES

The Beneficial Interests of the Beneficiaries of the Trust shall not be
transferable; provided, however, that the Beneficial Interest of a Beneficiary
shall be assignable or transferable by will, intestate succession or operation
of law and that a record owner of Shares may assign his Beneficial Interest to
the beneficial owner thereof. No assignment hereunder shall be deemed effective
until written notice thereof has been delivered to the Trust.

The Beneficial Interests of the Beneficiaries hereunder shall not be
subject to attachment, execution, sequestration or any order of any court, nor
shall such interests be liable for the contracts, debts, obligations,
engagements or liabilities of any Beneficiary, but the interest of a Beneficiary
shall be paid by the Trustees to the Beneficiary free and clear of all
assignments, attachments, anticipations, levies, executions, decrees and
sequestrations, except as may exist pursuant to a distribution of "remaining
assets" under Section 4.1, and shall become the property of the Beneficiary only
when actually received by such Beneficiary.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPENDIX I TO EXHIBIT A. PAGE 4

3.4 Trustees as Beneficiaries

Each Trustee, either individually or in a representative or fiduciary
capacity, may be a Beneficiary to the same extent as if he were not a Trustee
hereunder and have all the rights of a Beneficiary, including, without
limitation, the right to vote and to receive distributions, to the same extent
as if he were not a Trustee hereunder.

ARTICLE IV. DURATION AND TERMINATION OF TRUST

4.1 DURATION

The existence of the Trust shall continue until the first to occur of (a)
the complete distribution of the Trust Estate and (b) the expiration of three
years from the Effective Date, unless an earlier termination is required by the
applicable laws of the State of Washington or by the action of the Beneficiaries
as provided in Section 4.2. Any remaining assets shall be distributed to the
Beneficiaries, subject to any remaining claims, debts, liabilities and
obligations. If any portion of the Trust Estate is not duly claimed, such
assets shall be disposed of in accordance with applicable law.

4.2 TERMINATION BY BENEFICIARIES

The Trust may be terminated at any time by the action of Beneficiaries
having an aggregate Beneficial Interest of at least two thirds of the total
Beneficial Interests as evidenced in the manner provided in Article XII;
provided, however, that such termination would not result in a breach of any
obligation of the Trust.

4.3 Continuance of Trust for Winding Up

After the termination of the Trust and solely for the purpose of
liquidating and winding up the affairs of the Trust, the Trustees shall continue
to act as such until their duties have been fully performed. Upon distribution
of all the Trust Estate, the Trustees shall retain the books, records,
shareholder lists, certificates for Shares and files that shall have been
delivered to or created by the Trustees. At the Trustees' discretion, all of
such records and documents may be destroyed at any time after seven years from
the distribution of all the Trust Estate. Except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, upon the distribution of all the Trust Estate, the Trustees
shall have no further duties or obligations hereunder, except to account as
provided in Section 5.5.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPENDIX I TO EXHIBIT A. PAGE 5

ARTICLE V. ADMINISTRATION OF TRUST ESTATE

5.1 SALE OF TRUST ESTATE

The Trustees, at such times as they may deem appropriate, may transfer,
assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Trust Estate as they deem
appropriate at public auction or at private sale for cash, securities or other
property, or upon credit (either secured or unsecured as the Trustees shall
determine).

5.2 PAYMENT OF CLAIMS, DEBTS, EXPENSES AND LIABILITIES

The Trustees shall collect the assets of and hold the Trust Estate without
provision for, or the obligation to make payment of, any interest thereon to any
Beneficiary. The Trustees shall pay from the Trust Estate all claims, debts,
expenses, liabilities, charges and obligations of the Trust Estate and all
debts, liabilities and obligations that the Trustees specifically assume and
agree to pay pursuant to this Agreement and such transferee liabilities that the
Trustees may be obligated to pay as transferees of the Trust Estate, including,
without limitation, interest, penalties, taxes, assessments and public charges
of every kind and nature and the costs, charges and expenses connected with the
execution and administration of the Trust and such other payments and
disbursements as are provided in this Agreement or that may be determined to be
a proper charge against the Trust Estate by the Trustees. Notwithstanding a
termination of the Trust for any reason, the Trustees may, in their discretion,
make provisions by reserve or otherwise, out of the Trust Estate, for such
amount as the Trustees in good faith may determine to be necessary to meet
present or future claims, debts and liabilities of the Trust, whether fixed or
contingent.

5.3 INTERIM DISTRIBUTIONS

At such times as may be determined by them, the Trustees shall distribute,
or cause to be distributed, to the Beneficiaries, in proportion to their
respective Beneficial Interests, any proceeds from the sale of assets or income
from investments of the Trust Estate, or any other portion of the Trust Estate,
to the extent that the Trustees in their sole discretion determine that the
amount thereof is no longer necessary to meet claims and any liabilities of the
Trust Estate.

5.4 FINAL DISTRIBUTION

If the Trustees determine that all claims, debts, expenses, liabilities,
charges and obligations of the Trust have been paid or discharged or if the
existence of the Trust shall terminate pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, the
Trustees shall, as expeditiously as is consistent with the conservation and
protection of the Trust Estate, distribute the Trust Estate to the
Beneficiaries, in proportion to their interests therein.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPENDIX I TO EXHIBIT A. PAGE 6

The Trustees shall hold in the Trust and thereafter make disposition of all
liquidating distributions and other payments due any Beneficiaries who have not
been located, subject to applicable state laws regarding escheat and abandoned
property.

5.5 REPORTS TO BENEFICIARIES

As soon as practicable after the termination of the Trust, the Trustees
shall submit a written report and account to the Beneficiaries showing (a) the
assets and liabilities of the Trust upon termination and the receipts and
disbursements of the Trustees for such period, (b) any changes in the Trust
Estate that they have not previously reported, and (c) any action taken by the
Trustees in the performance of their duties under this Agreement that they have
not previously reported and which, in their opinion, materially affects the
Trust Estate. The Trustees may submit similar reports for such interim periods
as they deem advisable. There is no requirement that the financial statements
prepared by the Trustees be audited.

5.6 FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION

As soon as possible after the close of the calendar year, the Trustees
shall mail to each Beneficiary a statement estimating on a per Share basis the
dates and amounts of all distributions made by the Trustees, depreciation
allowances, if any, and such other information as is reasonably available to the
Trustees that may be helpful in determining the amount of taxable income from
the Trust that such Beneficiary should include in his federal income tax return
for the preceding year. In addition, after receipt of a request in good faith,
or in their discretion without such a request, the Trustees may furnish to any
person who has been a Beneficiary at any time during the preceding year a
statement containing such further information as is reasonably available to the
Trustees that may be helpful in determining the amount of income and expenses of
the Trust that such person should include in his federal income tax return.

ARTICLE VI. POWERS OF AND LIMITATIONS ON TRUSTEES

6.1 LIMITATIONS ON TRUSTEES

The Trustees shall not at any time, on behalf of the Trust or
Beneficiaries, enter into or engage in any trade or business, and no part of the
Trust Estate shall be used or disposed of by the Trustees in furtherance of any
trade or business of the Trust. The Trustees shall be restricted to the holding
and collection of the assets in the Trust Estate and the payment and
distribution thereof for the purposes set forth in this Agreement and to the
conservation and protection of the Trust Estate and the administration thereof
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In no event shall the
Trustees receive any property, make any distribution, satisfy or discharge any
claims, debts, expenses, charges, liabilities and obligations or otherwise

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPENDIX I TO EXHIBIT A. PAGE 7

take any action that is inconsistent with a complete liquidation of the Company
as that term is used and interpreted by Sections 337 and 331 of the Code,
regulations promulgated thereunder, and rulings, decisions and determinations of
the Internal Revenue Service and courts of competent jurisdiction or any action
that would jeopardize the status of the Trust as a "liquidating trust" for
federal income tax purposes. This limitation shall apply irrespective of
whether the conduct of any such trade or business is deemed by the Trustees to
be necessary or proper for the conservation and protection of the Trust Estate.
To this end, the Trustees shall make continuing efforts to liquidate and dispose
of the Trust Assets, make timely distributions to the Beneficiaries of the Trust
and not unduly prolong the duration of the Trust. None of the Trust Assets
shall be sold to, purchased by or otherwise transferred to any of the Trustees.

6.2 SPECIFIC POWERS OF TRUSTEES

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustees shall have the
following specific powers in addition to any powers conferred on them by any
other Section or provision of this Agreement or any statutory laws of the State
of Washington; provided, however, that the enumeration of the following powers
shall not be considered in any way to limit or control the power of the Trustees
to act as specifically authorized by any other Section or provision of this
Agreement and to act in such manner as the Trustees may deem necessary or
appropriate to conserve and protect the Trust Estate or to confer on the
Beneficiaries the benefits intended to be conferred on them by this Agreement:

(a) To perform any and all acts necessary or desirable to carry out
the purpose of the Trust, including, but not limited to, any and all acts
necessary or desirable to conserve, maintain and manage the assets in the
Trust Estate pending their sale or liquidation, and to engage counsel and

or against the assets of the Trust Estate.

(b) To retain sufficient cash, including if necessary a portion of
the cash proceeds realized from the sale of the assets in the Trust Estate,
in one or more demand and/or time deposits in banks or savings institutions
or temporarily to invest and reinvest such cash in temporary investments
such as short-term certificates of deposit or Treasury bills, solely to
meet the Trustees' reasonable and good-faith estimate of claims and
unascertained or contingent liabilities or contingent expenses (other than
claims of Shareholders with respect to their Shares) that would have been
payable by the Company, had it not dissolved, and have not been adequately
provided for by the Reserve Fund, and to meet any and

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPENDIX I TO EXHIBIT A. PAGE 8

all expenses reasonably expected to be incurred in determining or
contesting such claims, but not to otherwise invest or reinvest any such
proceeds.

(c) To make withdrawals from such accounts or deposits to pay such
claims and expenses upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
them as to the validity thereof.

(d) To determine which assets in the Trust should be sold and which

assets to the Beneficiaries not required to be retained to meet claims or
expenses assumed pursuant to Section 2.3.

(f) To distribute to the Beneficiaries, at such times as the Trustees
deem appropriate, the net cash proceeds from the sale of the assets in the
Trust Estate or income from investments (to the extent not required to be
set aside to meet claims and related expenses), and to make distributions
to the Beneficiaries from time to time and upon termination of the Trust of
assets not required to be retained to meet claims or expenses.

(g) To maintain adequate records with respect to Trust activities.

(h) To deposit distributed assets as provided by applicable law for
any Beneficiary who cannot be located.

(i) To sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of any property at any
time held or acquired hereunder at public or private sale, for cash or on
terms, without the necessity of court approval or advertisement.

(j) To register any stock, bond or other security in the name of a
nominee, with or without disclosure of any fiduciary relationship, and to
convey title to any real property to a nominee and to hold title to real
property in the name of a nominee, with or without disclosure of any
fiduciary relationship; but accurate records shall be maintained showing
that such security or real property is a Trust asset.

(k) To vote any securities held by the Trust.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPENDIX I TO EXHIBIT A. PAGE 9

(l) To rescind or modify any contract affecting the Trust.

(m) To borrow money in such amounts as the Trustees deem advisable
for Trust purposes.

(n) To employ agents, auditors, attorneys, real estate brokers and

between income and principal, to determine in their sole discretion whether
to amortize any premium or accumulate any discount on investments purchased
or sold, and to provide or fail to provide a reasonable reserve against
depreciation or obsolescence for any asset that at any time is a part of
the Trust Estate.

(p) To serve without making and filing inventory and appraisement,
without filing any annual or other returns or reports to any court, and
without giving bond, but the Trustees shall furnish after the end of each
calendar year with reasonable promptness an annual report including a
statement of receipts and disbursements to the Beneficiaries, and to render
an account to each of the Beneficiaries at the time of the Trust
termination.

ARTICLE VII. CONCERNING TRUSTEES, BENEFICIARIES,
EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS

7.1 GENERALLY

The Trustees accept and undertake to discharge the trust created by this
Agreement, on the terms and conditions hereof. The Trustees shall exercise such
of the rights and powers vested in them by this Agreement, and use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. No provision of
this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustees from liability for
their own grossly negligent action, their own grossly negligent failure to act
or their own willful misconduct, except that:

(a) No Trustee shall be responsible for the acts or omissions of any
other Trustee if done or omitted without his knowledge or consent unless it
shall be proved that such Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts, and no successor Trustee shall be in

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPENDIX I TO EXHIBIT A. PAGE 10

any way responsible for the acts or omissions of any Trustees in office
prior to the date on which he becomes a Trustee.

(b) No Trustee shall be liable except for the performance of such
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and
no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement
against the Trustees.

(c) In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustees, the
Trustees may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, on any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustees and conforming to the requirements of
this Agreement, but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that
are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustees by any provision
hereof, the Trustees shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Agreement.

(d) No Trustee shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith.

(e) No Trustee shall be liable with respect to any action taken or
omitted to be taken by him in good faith in accordance with the direction
of Beneficiaries having an aggregate Beneficial Interest of more than 50%
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustees, or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustees under this Agreement.

7.2 RELIANCE BY TRUSTEES

Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.1:

(a) The Trustees may rely and shall be protected in acting on any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, comment, order or other paper or document believed by them to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties.

(b) The Trustees may consult with legal counsel to be selected by
them, including firms of which a Trustee may be a member, and the advice or
opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete personal protection to
all Trustees, employees and agents of the Trust in respect

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPENDIX I TO EXHIBIT A. PAGE 11

of any action taken or suffered by them in good faith and in reliance on,
or in accordance with, such advice or opinion.

(c) Persons dealing with Trustees shall look only to the Trust Estate
to satisfy any liability incurred by the Trustees to such person in
carrying out the terms of the Trust, and the Trustees shall have no
personal or individual obligation to satisfy any such liability.

(d) As far as practicable, the Trustees shall cause any written
instrument creating an obligation of the Trust to include a reference to
this Agreement to provide that neither the Beneficiaries, the Trustees nor
their agents shall be liable thereunder and that the other parties to such
instrument shall look solely to the Trust Estate for the payment of any
claim thereunder or the performance thereof; provided, however, that the
omission of such provision from any such instrument shall not render the
Beneficiaries, Trustees or their agents liable nor shall the Trustees be
liable to anyone for such omission.

7.3 LIABILITY TO THIRD PERSONS

No Beneficiary shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever, in
tort, contract or otherwise, to any person in connection with the Trust Estate
or the affairs of the Trust; and no Trustee, employee or agent of the Trust
shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever, in tort, contract or
otherwise, to any person in connection with the Trust Estate or the affairs of
the Trust, except for his own willful misconduct, knowingly and intentionally
committed in bad faith; and all such other persons shall look solely to the
Trust Estate for satisfaction of claims of any nature arising in connection with
the affairs of the Trust. If the Trustees deem it appropriate, the Trustees may
obtain insurance for the protection of the Trust Estate, its Beneficiaries,
Trustees, employees and agents in such amount as the Trustees shall deem
adequate to cover all foreseeable liability to the extent available at
reasonable rates.

7.4 RECITALS

Any written instrument creating an obligation of the Trust shall be
conclusively taken to have been executed or done by a Trustee, employee or agent
of the Trust only in his capacity as a Trustee under this Agreement or in his
capacity as an employee or agent of the Trust. Any written instrument creating
an obligation of the Trust shall refer to this Agreement and contain a recital
to the effect that obligations thereunder are not personally binding on, nor
shall resort be had to the private property of, any of the Trustees,
Beneficiaries, employees or agents of the Trust. Only the Trust Estate or a
specific portion thereof shall be bound, but the omission of such recital shall
not

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPENDIX I TO EXHIBIT A. PAGE 12

operate to impose personal liability on any of the Trustees, Beneficiaries,
employees or agents of the Trust.

7.5 INDEMNIFICATION

Each Trustee, employee and agent shall be indemnified out of the Trust
Estate against all liabilities and expenses, including amounts paid in
satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and counsel
fees, reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or disposition
of any action, suit or other proceeding by the Trust or any other person,
whether civil or criminal, in which he may be involved or with which he may be
threatened, while in office or thereafter by reason of his being or having been
such a Trustee, employee or agent; provided that he shall not be entitled to
have such indemnification in respect of any matter as to which he shall have
been adjudicated to have acted in bad faith or with willful misfeasance or gross
negligence or in reckless disregard of his duties; provided further that, as in
any matter disposed of by a compromise payment by such Trustee, employee or
agent, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise, no indemnification either for
said payment or for any other expenses shall be provided unless the Trust shall
have received a written opinion from independent counsel approved by the
Trustees to the effect that, if the foregoing matters had been adjudicated, such
Trustee, employee or agent would not have been found to have acted in bad faith
or with willful misfeasance or gross negligence or in reckless disregard of his
duties. The rights accruing to any Trustee, employee or agent under these
provisions shall not exclude any other right to which he may be lawfully
entitled; provided, however, that no Trustee, employee or agent may satisfy any
right of indemnity or reimbursement granted herein or to which he may be
otherwise entitled except out of the Trust Estate, and no Beneficiary shall be
personally liable to any person with respect to any claim for indemnity or
reimbursement or otherwise, except as otherwise provided by law. The Trustees
may make advance payments in connection with indemnification under this Section
7.5; provided that the indemnified Trustee, employee or agent shall have given a
written undertaking to repay any amount advanced to him and to reimburse the
Trust in the event it is subsequently determined that he is not entitled to such
indemnification. The Trustees may purchase such insurance as they determine, in
the exercise of their discretion, adequately insures that each of the Trustees,
employees and agents of the Trust shall be indemnified against any such loss,
liability or damage pursuant to this Section 7.5. The rights accruing to any
person by reason of the foregoing shall not be deemed to exclude any other right
to which he may legally be entitled nor shall anything else contained herein
restrict the right of the Trustees to indemnify or reimburse such person in any
proper case even though not specifically provided for herein, nor shall anything
contained herein restrict the right of any such person to contribution under
applicable law.
