Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Note A - Basis of Presentation The Company ceased all of its former business operations during August of 1994 and since that time has been actively seeking to sell substantially all of the assets of its former business. Concurrent with the decision to cease all of its former business operations, the Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting. Generally accepted accounting principles for the liquidation basis of accounting required that assets be valued at their estimated net realizable value and liabilities be presented at their estimated settlement amounts and also include estimated costs associated with carrying out the liquidation. The Company's financial statements were prepared under the liquidation basis of accounting through August 31, 1996. During fiscal 1996, the Company substantially completed the sale of its assets and during November of 1996 acquired the outstanding common stock of a consumer finance company. Accordingly, effective September 1, 1996 the Company adopted the going concern basis of accounting. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements at February 28, 1997 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information under the going concern basis of accounting and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments including normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation on the going concern basis have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended February 28, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended August 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended August 31, 1996. Note B - Acquisition On November 4, 1996, the Company purchased for cash all of the outstanding common stock of CambridgeBanc, Inc. from Emergent Group, Inc. for the total purchase price of $15,000. The assets that were owned by CambridgeBanc, Inc. consist of furniture and equipment that the Company believes had a fair value of $15,000. Through CambridgeBanc, Inc., the Company has begun to engage in the business of originating and selling home improvement and other loans secured by liens on improved property. In addition to the purchase agreement to acquire the common stock, the Company executed a lease agreement with Emergent Group, Inc. in which the Company paid $18,000 for the use of additional furniture and equipment for one year. These assets were used by CambridgeBanc, Inc. in its previous operations. The newly acquired subsidiary, CambridgeBanc, Inc. executed a sublease agreement to rent for one year from Emergent Group, Inc. the office space that CambridgeBanc, Inc. occupies at $1,757 per month. In March 1997, CambridgeBanc, Inc. changed its name to HomeAdd Financial Corporation. 8 9 Mr. Buck Mickel, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and beneficial owner of more than 5% of its outstanding common stock, also serves on the board of directors of Emergent Group, Inc. and beneficially owns less than 5% of its outstanding common stock and C. Thomas Wyche, Secretary of the Company and the beneficial owner of less than 5% of its outstanding common stock, also serves as Secretary of Emergent Group, Inc. and is a shareholder of Emergent Group, Inc., owning less than 5% of its outstanding common stock. In addition, each of Minor H. Mickel, Buck A. Mickel, Charles C. Mickel and Minor Mickel Shaw, beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock, are shareholders of Emergent Group, Inc., each owning less than 5% of its outstanding common stock. Each of Buck A. Mickel, Charles C. Mickel and Minor Mickel Shaw are the adult children of Buck Mickel and Minor H. Mickel is the spouse of Buck Mickel. Note C - Shareholders' equity The financial statements as of August 31, 1996 included a consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation which presented under the liquidation basis of accounting the net assets that the Company expected to realize at the end of its period of liquidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet presents on the going concern basis of accounting the shareholders' equity at February 28, 1997. Below is a reconciliation of the net asset in liquidation at August 31, 1996 to the shareholders' equity at February 28, 1997. Net assets in liquidation at August 31, 1996 $ 2,285,000 Loss from operations during six months ended February 28, 1997 (600,000) Purchase of common stock for the treasury (25,000) ----------- Shareholders' equity at February 28, 1997 $ 1,660,000 =========== Note D - Contingencies On November 18, 1996, Wiegmann & Rose International Corp. ("Wiegmann & Rose"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement to settle a lawsuit brought by Triple A Machine Shop, Inc. ("Triple A") relating to environmental contamination on property formerly owned by Wiegmann & Rose and sold to Triple A in 1987. Pursuant to the settlement agreement Wiegmann & Rose paid to Triple A the sum of three hundred thousand ($300,000) dollars in exchange for settlement of the lawsuit as well as Triple A's release of Wiegmann & Rose and the Company from any further liability to Triple A in connection with the property or under the agreement made at the time of sale of the property. Wiegmann & Rose has also been sued, along with several other defendants, in seven personal injury asbestos suits. Although, Wiegmann & Rose has been dismissed without prejudice in each of the seven suits, Wiegmann could be brought back into the litigation in five of these seven dismissed cases. As to the substantive nature of the asbestos claims, the Company believes substantial defenses would be available and for that reason the Company has been successful in having all seven of these filed actions dismissed without prejudice as against Wiegmann & Rose. No provisions have been made in the accompanying financial statements for any liability which may result from this matter. 9 10 In addition, the Company is one of several defendants in a lawsuit filed in July 1993 claiming indemnification with respect to payments due and the cost of performing certain covenants and obligations under a land lease agreement allegedly in default. This agreement relates to a motel property previously operated by the Company. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously. The ultimate outcome of this matter is not known. No provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements for any liability which may result from this matter. In February 1994, an individual served a complaint against the Company seeking damages in excess of $15,000 for injuries sustained while operating a turf care product sold by the Company. The complaint also named the manufacturer of the product. The manufacturer and its insurance carrier accepted defense of the Company regarding this matter. This case was settled in February 1997 and this case is now resolved in its entirety. The Company did not incur any liability in the settlement of this matter. In addition, in January 1995, a complaint against the Company seeking damages in excess of the minimal jurisdictional amount was served. The plaintiff in that case alleges that he was injured while operating a vehicle that was sold by the Company. The Complaint also named the manufacturer of the vehicle. The manufacturer has accepted defense of the Company regarding this matter. The Company believes, based on the arrangements with the manufacturer and the Company's own insurance, that this action should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. 10 11 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Results of Operations Adjustment from Liquidation Basis to Going Concern Basis Because the Company decided in 1994 that it should cease its existing business operations and sell substantially all of its operating assets, the Company reported its financial position on the liquidation basis of accounting during the years ended August 31, 1994 through August 31, 1996. In the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are valued at their net realizable value (rather than at their net historical cost), and liabilities include estimated costs associated with carrying out the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Company substantially completed its plan to sell substantially all of its assets ("Sale of Assets Plan") during fiscal 1996 and purchased the common stock of a company in the consumer finance business in November 1996. Accordingly, on September 1, 1996, the Company adopted the going concern basis of accounting. The effect of the change from the liquidation basis of accounting to the going concern basis of accounting on net assets of the Company was to reduce the carrying value of the real estate held for sale that is located in Tampa, Florida from its estimated liquidation value of $430,000 to its depreciated cost on September 1, 1996 of $263,000, a decrease in net assets of $167,000; increase prepaid expenses by $15,000 and reduce the liabilities of the Company by the estimated costs during the remaining period of liquidation of $155,000. New Business acquired On November 4, 1996, the Company purchased the outstanding common stock of CambridgeBanc, Inc., a small specialized consumer finance business that originates and sells consumer finance receivables, substantially all of which are loans secured by liens on improved property. On March 18, 1997, the name of CambridgeBanc, Inc. was changed to HomeAdd Financial Corporation ("HomeAdd"). Revenues were $49,000 during the three and six months ended February 28, 1997 and consisted of loan origination fees and gain from the sale of the loans made. General and administrative expenses include expenses incurred by HomeAdd of $138,000 and $182,000, respectively, during the three and six months ended February 28, 1997. The Company expects that HomeAdd will operate at a loss during fiscal 1997 and 1998, but based on its business plan, currently expects HomeAdd to operate at a modest profit by fiscal 1999. The foregoing is a forward-looking statement and the Company cautions that there can be no assurance that this goal can be achieved. Factors which could cause the Company's results to differ materially from the forward-looking statement include, but are not limited to, lower origination volume due to market conditions that might affect the appraised values of the property that would be used as collateral in that HomeAdd's business might be reduced if values of the collateral increase and HomeAdd's customers might then qualify for more traditional sources of credit such as banks; adverse consequences of changes in interest 11 12 rate environment such as increases in rates that might reduce the number of customers that would be willing to execute loans at the higher rates; uncreditworthiness of borrowers and risk of default in that this would adversely affect the ability of the Company to sell its loans; limited operating history of lending operations in that HomeAdd has only had a Title I lending license since November of 1995 and most of its personnel have been employed by HomeAdd since the acquisition by the Company; general economic conditions in the Company's market, including inflation, recession, interest rates and other economic factors that might affect the credit rating of its customers in which case HomeAdd would no longer be able to make loans to these customers with reduced credit ratings because HomeAdd would not be able to sell the loans for an amount that would be profitable for HomeAdd; loss of funding sources, particularly since the Company currently only has arrangements for a credit facility with one bank; loss of ability to sell loans since the Company does not have sufficient resources to finance holding a substantial number of loans to their maturity; general lending risks that might result in HomeAdd making uncollectible loans or loans that it would be unable to sell; dependence on Federal programs particularly since bills were introduced in Congress during August of 1995 that would, in addition to other things as discussed below, eliminate the Title I Loan program; impact of competition, particularly since most of HomeAdd's competitors or potential competitors are substantially larger and have significantly greater capital, experience and other resources than the Company; regulation of lending activities in that HomeAdd, in addition to the FHA Title I license discussed below, operates under the banking laws of each State in which this business chooses to operate; changes in the regulatory environment in that both the Federal government and each State in which HomeAdd operates might make changes in the regulations under which HomeAdd operates at any time; and dependence on key executives, particularly since HomeAdd and the Company have a limited number of personnel. As of April 1, 1997, HomeAdd had seven employees. The initial office in Greenville, South Carolina includes sales, underwriting and administrative personnel. An additional sales office in Charlotte, North Carolina opened on April 1, 1997. If the Company is successful in the origination and resale of consumer loans, the Company plans to open additional sales offices to target certain major metropolitan areas of the Carolinas and southeastern United States during fiscal 1998. Each sales office would be staffed by a loan closer. Additional personnel will be added when and if the volume of loans increases to a level that requires the additional personnel. If HomeAdd achieves its budgeted operating results, the Company estimates that the new business would have approximately 8 to 10 employees by August 31, 1997. There is no assurance, however, that this goal can be accomplished. HomeAdd is now offering Title I home improvement loans ("Title I Loans") under the Title I program administrated by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA"). HomeAdd was approved by FHA as a Title I lender during 1995. The Title I program was established by Title I of the National Housing Act of 1934. Loans made under the Title I program are 90% guaranteed by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). In addition, HomeAdd offers high loan-to-value loans ("HLTV Loans") to certain qualified borrowers that in some case permit the loan proceeds to be used for purposes other than home improvements. In addition to the FHA Title I license, HomeAdd will have to apply for licenses to operate under the banking laws of each State in which this business chooses to operate. HomeAdd is currently authorized to operate under the banking laws of South Carolina and North Carolina. There can be no assurance that any such additional licenses may be 12 13 obtained on a timely basis or at all. In addition, the new business is subject to ongoing monitoring by regulatory authorities and the failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in the forfeiture of licenses on which the business is dependent. Through HomeAdd, the Company intends to continue offering Title I loans as well as HLTV Loans that permit the loan proceeds to be used for purposes other than home improvements. The Company sells all its loans on a non recourse basis in the secondary market. The Company's credit guidelines for this product meet the underwriting criteria of the current purchasing investors. During the three months ended February 28, 1997, the Company made loans aggregating $599,000 of which $36,000 were made under the Title I Loan program and $563,000 were made under the HLTV Loan program. All of the loans were sold on a non recourse basis in the secondary market during the three months ended February 28, 1997. The non recourse basis means that the Company represents that loans were properly documented and made in accordance with applicable lending criteria, but that the purchaser of the loans assumes the full credit risk. The consumer finance market is highly competitive and fragmented. HomeAdd competes with a number of finance companies that provide financing to individuals who may not qualify for traditional financing, as well as established home improvement lenders, other Title I lenders, existing mortgage brokers and bankers that offer multi-purpose second mortgages. To a lesser extent, HomeAdd competes with commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, insurance companies, and captive finance arms of major manufacturing companies that may apply more traditional lending criteria. Most of these competitors or potential competitors are substantially larger and have significantly greater capital, experience and other resources than the Company. Home improvement loan volume generally tracks the seasonality of home improvement contract work. Volume tends to build during the spring and early summer months. A decline is typically experienced in late summer and early fall until temperatures begin to drop. This change in seasons precipitates the need for new siding, window and insulation contracts. Peak volume is experienced in November and early December and declines dramatically from the holiday season through the winter months. Debt consolidation and home equity loan volume generally are not materially impacted by seasonal climate changes and, with the exclusion of the holiday season, tend to be stable throughout the year. HomeAdd attempts to sell, without recourse, all of its loans on the secondary market to a licensed Title I wholesale buyer. HomeAdd does not have the capital that would be necessary to make a significant volume of loans unless it is able promptly to sell its loans on the secondary market. There can be no assurance that the secondary market for loans will continue to be available to HomeAdd. Adverse changes in the secondary market could impair HomeAdd's ability to originate and sell loans on a favorable or timely basis. Delays in the sale of a loan pool beyond a quarter-end could result in losses for such quarter. If HomeAdd is unable to sell its loans on the secondary market, its growth could be materially impaired and its results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. See Liquidity and Capital Resources - Capital Requirements for HomeAdd. A substantial portion of HomeAdd's business is dependent on the continuation of the Title I Loan program, which is federally funded. The Title I Loan program provides that qualifying loans are eligible for FHA 13 14 insurance. In August of 1995, bills were introduced in both houses of the United States Congress that would, among other things, abolish HUD, reduce federal spending for housing and community development activities and eliminate the Title I Loan program. Other changes to HUD have been proposed, which, if adopted, could materially and adversely affect the operation of the Title I Loan program. Discontinuation of or a significant reduction in the Title I Loan program or HomeAdd's authority to originate loans under the Title I Loan program would have a material adverse effect on HomeAdd's business. Liquidity and Capital Resources Anticipated Liquidity Requirements As discussed below under "Cash and Cash Equivalents" and "Debt Arrangements," the Company currently has substantial cash liquidity and, although there can be no assurance in this regard, anticipates that such capital resources will be sufficient to enable the Company to pay ordinary expenses expected to arise for the remainder of fiscal 1997. In addition to its ordinary expenses, the Company will continue to incur legal expenses relating to its contingent liabilities. The Company plans to continue to attempt to settle its contingent liabilities during fiscal 1997, but it cannot estimate when these will be settled or the ultimate outcome of the lawsuits described below under Item 1 of Part II, "Legal Proceedings" or of any unknown contingencies. There can be no assurance that the Company's cash balances will be sufficient to allow it to meet its recorded liabilities and any known or unknown contingent liabilities. The ultimate outcome of these contingencies is not known. No provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements for any liability that may result from these matters. Fiscal Year 1997 Activities During fiscal 1997, the Company plans to continue with its efforts to sell its office and warehouse facility in Tampa, Florida. Proceeds from the sale of the Tampa facility will be applied first to the payment of expenses related to the sale, next to pay or make provisions for the payment of contingent liabilities of the Company as they are quantified, and any remaining proceeds will be used for working capital. Since the amount required to settle the contingent liabilities cannot be determined, there is no assurance that the Company's proceeds from the sale of its remaining assets will be sufficient to cover these expenses. The Company currently intends to use the assets, if any, remaining after the payment or provision for payment of the foregoing items to provide the operating capital necessary for the operations of HomeAdd. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $1,623,000 as of February 28, 1997 included United States treasury bills with a maturity of three months when purchased and having a market value of $1,413,000. Cash in excess of the amounts invested in United States treasury bills is invested as available in a money market account, which may be liquidated by the Company to meet its cash needs on a daily basis. The Company earned $54,000 on its investments during the six months ended February 28, 1997. 14 15 Debt Arrangements During December of 1996, HomeAdd executed a warehouse line of credit with a bank in the amount of $500,000 that is used to finance loans made to third parties in connection with its consumer finance business. The loans made by HomeAdd are collateral for this line of credit. This line of credit bears interest at the bank's prime rate plus one percent. Under the terms of the loan agreement and an agreement that the Company has executed with HomeAdd, HomeAdd is required to maintain tangible net worth of at least $500,000. The bank also requires that this tangible net worth include certain specified assets with maturity of five years or less in the amount of $500,000. Capital Requirements for HomeAdd During the six months ended February 28, 1997, the Company invested $700,000 in HomeAdd. The investment was used as follows: acquisition of common stock - $15,000, equipment rental for first year - $18,000, purchase of U. S. Treasury bill - $500,000, purchase of money market account - $25,000 and operating capital of $142,000. The Company has reevaluated its previous plans to attempt to arrange an additional borrowing facility of up to an additional $500,000. Given its cash and cash equivalents position, the Company now believes that it has the capacity to provide the additional capital that will be required by HomeAdd during fiscal 1997. If and when HomeAdd's operations grow, it will need external sources of capital. PART II. Other information ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings Wiegmann & Rose Environmental Litigation On November 18, 1996, Wiegmann & Rose International Corp. ("Wiegmann & Rose"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement to settle a lawsuit brought by Triple A Machine Shop, Inc. ("Triple A") relating to environmental contamination on property formerly owned by Wiegmann & Rose and sold to Triple A in 1987. Pursuant to the settlement agreement Wiegmann & Rose paid to Triple A the sum of three hundred thousand ($300,000) dollars in exchange for settlement of the lawsuit as well as Triple A's release of Wiegmann & Rose and the Company from any further liability to Triple A in connection with the property or under the agreement made at the time of sale of the property. Asbestos Litigation Wiegmann & Rose is also one of numerous defendants with respect to seven claims for exposure to asbestos, arising in the normal course of business. All seven of these claims have been dismissed without prejudice with respect to Wiegmann & Rose, and the applicable statute of limitations has passed with respect to at least two of the dismissed claims. The dismissed claims are made in the following lawsuits, in each case seeking unspecified damages for injury allegedly due to asbestos exposure: (i) Brophy v. Abex et al. (filed April 9, 1992), pending in the San Francisco, California Superior Court, seeks damages for wrongful death allegedly due to asbestos exposure. Wiegmann & Rose has been dismissed without prejudice in this action and the applicable statute of limitations has now passed, barring any subsequent action by the 15 16 plaintiff against Wiegmann & Rose. (ii) Canga v. Abex et al. (filed March 18, 1993), pending in the San Francisco Superior Court, seeks damages for personal injuries allegedly due to asbestos exposure. Wiegmann & Rose has been dismissed without prejudice in this action. (iii) Jordison v. Abex et al. (filed January 21, 1994), pending in the San Francisco Superior Court, seeks damages for personal injuries allegedly due to asbestos exposure. The case against Wiegmann & Rose has been dismissed without prejudice. (iv) Barnes v. Abex et al. (filed December 3, 1993), pending in the San Francisco Superior Court, seeks damages for wrongful death allegedly due to asbestos exposure. The case against Wiegmann & Rose has been dismissed without prejudice, and the applicable statute of limitation has passed, barring any subsequent action by plaintiff against Wiegmann & Rose. (v) Richardson v. Abex et al. (filed August 5, 1993), pending in the San Francisco Superior Court, seeks damages for personal injuries allegedly due to asbestos exposure. The case against Wiegmann & Rose has been dismissed without prejudice. (vi) Sorensen v. Abex et al. (filed July 20, 1993), pending in the San Francisco Superior Court, seeks damages for personal injuries allegedly due to asbestos exposure. The case against Wiegmann & Rose has been dismissed without prejudice. (vii) Hall v. Abex et al. (filed February 25, 1994), pending in the San Francisco Superior Court, seeks damages for personal injuries allegedly due to asbestos exposure. The case against Wiegmann & Rose has been dismissed without prejudice. As to the substantive nature of the asbestos claims, the Company believes valid defenses would be available and for that reason the Company has been successful in having all seven of these filed actions dismissed without prejudice against Wiegmann & Rose. No actions involving asbestos are currently pending. Insurance The Company has contacted its two primary insurance companies relating to the environmental and asbestos claims against Wiegmann & Rose described above. One insurance company has denied coverage with respect to the environmental claims, but the other insurance company has reimbursed the Company for a portion of its defense costs related to the environmental matter under a reservation of rights. The two insurance companies, under a reservation of rights, have reimbursed the Company for substantially all of its defense costs related to the asbestos claims. The Company is communicating with its insurance company with respect to reimbursement of defense costs paid by the Company relating to the environmental claims. The Company is seeking reimbursement of legal fees that have not been previously reimbursed and also reimbursement of the $300,000 settlement discussed above, but there can be no assurance that insurance coverage will be available to reimburse the Company for the remaining legal fees or for the $300,000 settlement. Holiday Inns, Inc. Litigation RSI Corporation (now Delta Woodside), the former parent corporation of the Company, and Sparjax Corporation, RSI Corporation's now-dissolved subsidiary, are among several defendants in a lawsuit filed on July 29, 1993 by Holiday Inns, Inc. in the Circuit Court of the Fourth Judicial Circuit for Duval County, Florida. In connection with the distribution of the Company's common stock to the shareholders of RSI Corporation in 1989, the Company indemnified RSI Corporation against certain types of potential liabilities and expenses, including those arising in connection with the lawsuit by Holiday Inns, Inc. 16 17 This suit seeks indemnification for payments made or to be made by Holiday Inns, Inc., as the guarantor, to the lessor for obligations under a land lease agreement allegedly in default. The lease agreement was commenced in 1967 and has a term of ninety-nine years. The lessor under the lease agreement was originally Fernandina Contractors, Inc., and by assignment is currently Sam Spevak. Holiday Inns, Inc. was the original lessee under the lease agreement. Payments under the lease agreement are the greater of $24,000 annually (as adjusted by the consumer price index) or the highest average annual payments during any five-year period during the first twenty (20) years of the lease, using a percentage of income formula. The lessee's interest in the lease agreement has been assigned to a series of parties including RSI Corporation and Sparjax Corporation. RSI Corporation was the lessee under the lease agreement from June, 1979 to August, 1979, and Sparjax Corporation was the lessee thereunder from August, 1979 to January, 1981. The current lessee is American Hotel Investors, Inc. ("AHI"). AHI allegedly has failed to make lease payments due under the lease agreement and otherwise to comply with its obligations under the lease agreement. Holiday Inns, Inc. has alleged that Sparjax Corporation, which is the assignee of the lease agreement from RSI Corporation, is in breach of a written Indemnification Agreement executed by Sparjax Corporation in favor of Holiday Inns, Inc. upon its assumption of the lease agreement in 1979. All of the outstanding common stock of Sparjax Corporation was acquired by RSI Corporation during fiscal 1983, and Sparjax Corporation was dissolved by forfeiture during fiscal 1990. In connection with such dissolution, no material assets were distributed from Sparjax Corporation to RSI Corporation. Other than as described herein, there is no contractual relationship whatsoever between RSI Corporation and Holiday Inns, Inc. On or about September 23, 1992, Sam Spevak filed a lawsuit against Holiday Inns, Inc. for allegedly failing to pay monthly rent under the lease agreement. This lawsuit is pending in the Circuit Court of the Fourth Judicial Circuit, in and for Duval County, Florida. On May 4, 1993, Sam Spevak filed a Second Amended Complaint seeking from Holiday Inns, Inc. unpaid rent, unpaid taxes, interest, attorney fees and costs. On November 19, 1993, Sam Spevak filed a Third Amended Complaint in the Court seeking from Holiday Inns, Inc. unpaid rent, unpaid taxes, attorneys fees and costs, and seeking a declaratory judgment against Holiday Inns, Inc. to establish whether or not Holiday Inns, Inc. is liable for costs of repair and maintenance to the leased premises. Holiday Inns, Inc. amended its complaint to assert similar claims against all subsequent lessees (including RSI Corporation and Sparjax Corporation) under the lease agreement, seeking indemnification against sums paid or to be paid to Sam Spevak pursuant to his lawsuit. During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company reported a cross- claim filed by Mr. Donald Roberts against all assignees of W. M. R., Inc., including RSI Corporation and Sparjax Corporation. Mr. Roberts was an individual guarantor of W. M. R., Inc.'s obligations under the land lease. Counsel for RSI Corporation and Sparjax Corporation have moved to dismiss Mr. Roberts' cross-claims and the court has granted these motions, without prejudice. Counsel for Sparjax Corporation and RSI Corporation have informed the Company that the cross-claims do not raise any new substantive issues, but merely seek indemnification from all assignees in the event that Mr. Roberts is required to pay Holiday Inns, Inc. on his individual guaranty. 17 18 On December 16, 1996, Sam Spevak filed a Fifth Amended Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial against Holiday Inns, Inc. Sam Spevak's counsel has alleged in the Fifth Amended Complaint that effective January 1996, the monthly minimum rent under the lease is $5,595.85. With respect to RSI Corporation's maximum exposure in this case, Holiday Inns has asserted that RSI Corporation and all other lessees are obligated to reimburse it $259,201 for rent it paid to the landlord as a result of AHI's failure to pay under the lease. This amount, however, only represents delinquent rent through October 13, 1993, because Holiday Inns contends that the lessee's obligations under the lease terminated on that date as a result of James "Duke" Williams evicting AHI on behalf of the landlord. Mr. Spevak claims, however, that as of January, 1995, he is entitled to past monthly rental and interest (from October 13, 1993 through December 20, 1994) of $82,289 plus future monthly rental through the end of the lease term in 2068 of $1,834,565 (which sum represents the present value using a 6.5% discount rate). If Mr. Spevak is successful in proving his claim, RSI Corporation's exposure includes these latter amounts. In addition, should the court determine that Holiday Inns, Inc. has an obligation to pay the cost of repairs and maintenance incurred to date and throughout the balance of the lease term, the amount of such costs could be substantial but cannot be quantified with any reasonable degree of accuracy. The Company believes the existing motel property is in a state of disrepair such that it is not commercially usable. The City of Jacksonville has recently sent notice, presumably to all parties involved in this lawsuit, threatening to condemn the property and demolish the entire structure. If that occurs, and the Court determines that the lessees have an obligation to maintain the property during the lease term, RSI Corporation's exposure could also include the costs of demolition and the expense of rebuilding the hotel. This liability, of course, cannot be accurately estimated at this time, but no doubt involves a very substantial amount. RSI Corporation denies any liability to Holiday Inns, Inc. and intends to defend this matter vigorously. Upon a motion of counsel for RSI Corporation, Holiday Inns, Inc.'s claims against RSI Corporation were dismissed without prejudice, but Holiday Inns, Inc. has filed an Amended Complaint to reinstate certain of its claims, and to add a claim for equitable subrogation, against RSI Corporation and Sparjax Corporation. Counsel for RSI Corporation and Sparjax Corporation has answered the equitable subrogation claim, and has moved for dismissal with prejudice with respect to the claims that have previously been dismissed. The deposition of James "Duke" Williams, a critical witness in the case, has now been taken. Mr. Williams was involved in a contract to assume the lease from Holiday Inns, Inc., which contract was later canceled by Holiday Inns, Inc. The parties are presently scheduling the depositions of other important fact witnesses. These include Mr. Spevak and several of the other officers of Holiday Inns, Inc. who were involved in the negotiations to cancel the lease with Mr. Williams. The mediation conference held in January, 1995 was not successful. No trial date has been set. If found liable for any sum as a result of Holiday Inns, Inc.'s claims, the Company believes RSI Corporation and Sparjax Corporation would have a claim in equity against AHI, the current and allegedly defaulting lessee under the lease agreement, and its principal shareholders, who in the aggregate guaranteed AHI's obligations under the lease for up to $150,000. AHI is a private corporation and the Company has no information regarding the financial ability of AHI or its principal shareholders to perform AHI's obligations 18 19 under the lease or to reimburse any third party for any payments made under the lease as a result of the lawsuit described above. The ultimate outcome of this matter is not known. No provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements for any liability which may result from this matter. Other Litigation On January 12, 1995, a Mr. Cesar A. Cuenca served a complaint against the Company in the 11th Judicial Circuit Court, Dade County, Florida seeking damages in excess of the minimal jurisdictional amount of the Court, exclusive of costs and interest, and demanding costs of the action together with such further relief as the Court shall deem fit. The Plaintiff alleges that he was injured while operating a vehicle that was sold by the Company. The Complaint also named the manufacturer of the vehicle. The manufacturer has agreed to provide full and complete indemnification to the Company based on the facts known to date. There has been no suggestion in the litigation that the Company did anything other than sell what is alleged to have been a defective product. Accordingly, unless additional allegations are made against the Company, the Company expects to continue to receive full indemnity and defense from the manufacturer. The Company believes, based on the arrangements with the manufacturer of the vehicle and the Company's own insurance, that there is no known exposure to the Company from this litigation. On February 4, 1994, a Mr. Everette Moncur and Edwina Moncur, his wife, served a complaint against the Company in the 17th Judicial Circuit Court, Broward County, Florida seeking damages in excess of $15,000 for injuries sustained while operating a turf care product sold by the Company. The complaint also named the manufacturer of the product. The manufacturer and its insurance carrier accepted defense of the Company regarding this matter. This case was settled in February 1997 and this case is now resolved in its entirety. The Company did not incur any liability in the settlement of this matter. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES* ITEM 3.
