CROWN GROUP, INC. (THE "COMPANY")
AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO FORM 8-K
(EVENT DATE: FEBRUARY 1, 1998)
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.
The current report on Form 8-K to which this amendment relates
(specifically, Amendment No. 1 to such report filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on April 17, 1998) reported the combined audited financial
statements of Paaco, Inc. and Premium Auto Acceptance Corporation (collectively
"Paaco") for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995 (balance sheets
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996). Also included in said report were pro forma
financial statements of Crown Group, Inc. giving effect to the acquisition of
an equity interest in Paaco.
As previously announced by the Company and reported in its annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 1999, in connection with its
1999 year end closing process and subsequent analyses performed, the Company
identified certain errors and irregularities at Paaco, some of which existed
at, and are believed to pertain to periods prior to, the acquisition date
(February 1, 1998) of an interest in Paaco by the Company. As a result, the
Company and its independent auditors have determined that the financial
statements of Paaco and related independent auditors reports thereon filed in
the above-referenced current report on Form 8-K should not be relied upon by
investors. The Company does not intend to cause the financial statements of
Paaco to be re-audited for the periods covered by the referenced Form 8-K
report as the Company does not believe that the information contained therein
is any longer relevant to investors in the Company's common stock. The Company
has since reported consolidated financial statements which include the
operations of Paaco for the full fiscal year ended April 30, 1999, as well as
for a three month period during the fiscal year ended April 30, 1998, which
financial statements are included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended April 30, 1999.
