The notes to the financial statements contained in the 2003 Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with these financial statements. NOTE B - CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES GOING CONCERN: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations over the prior three years which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As more fully discussed in Note D, management has developed plans to address these issues. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company being unable to continue as a going concern. GOODWILL: Prior to August 1, 2002, goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over five years. At July 31, 2002, goodwill, net of accumulated amortization of $78,813, was $138,987. Beginning August 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized, but is evaluated at least annually for impairment, and more frequently under certain conditions. NOTE C - RESTATEMENT The financial statements for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2003 have been restated to eliminate amortization expense of $9,926 and $29,779, respectively, to comply with the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" which was made effective for the Company as of August 1, 2002. The effect of these adjustments increased net income in these periods by $9,926 and $29,779, respectively. NOTE D - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On August 22, 2003, the Company sold its last remaining commercial office rental property for $1,260,000 ($1,182,090 after closing fees, taxes and other adjustments) and incurred a net gain on the sale of $367,633. At the sale closing, the Company paid off principal and interest of its first and second mortgages against the property of $485,551 and $57,599, respectively. The Company received net cash proceeds of $637,664. -7- With this sale, the Company has discontinued operations in its Rental Property division. The Company recorded a loss of $54,124 representing the costs to settle obligations related to this operation of which $1,069 remains an accrued liability as of April 30, 2004. On January 30, 2004, the Company transferred substantially all of its operating assets to its wholly-owned subsidiary, AUSA, Inc. Thereafter, the Company declared a distributive dividend to its stockholders of record on January 30, 2004 of all the shares of common stock of AUSA, Inc. so that each stockholder of the Company will receive a share of AUSA, Inc. common stock for each share of common stock of the Company owned by such stockholder on January 30, 2004. Excluded from the assets transferred by the Company to AUSA, Inc. were cash and deposit account balances of approximately $450,000, which funds have been retained by the Company as well as liabilities estimated to be approximately $33,000. Pretax results of discontinued operations by business segment are as follows: 3Q04 YTD ___________ __________ Segment: Rental Property division: Loss from operations $ (256) $ (54,124) Gain of sale of property & equipment - 367,633 ___________ __________ (256) 313,509 Accounting USA division: Loss from operations - (96,985) Combined: Loss from operations (256) (151,109) Gain of sale of property & equipment - 367,633 ___________ __________ $ (256) $ 216,524 =========== ========== NOTE E - INCOME TAXES At July 31, 2003, the Company had approximately $1.7 million of net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future federal and state taxable income. However, local tax statutes do not allow for the use of net operating loss carryforwards resulting in an income tax liability in periods with taxable income. Accordingly, the Company has accrued a $9,000 liability for estimated income taxes as of April 30, 2004. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts for income tax purposes. Management has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company's deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established to offset the net deferred tax assets. -8- NOTE F - NOTES RECEIVABLE On August 8, 2003, the Company sold the remaining collateral securing its Note Receivable for $8,000. The collateral was sold "as-is", without recourse, and with indemnification by the purchaser in regard to any and all claims arising including manufacturing defects. As of July 31, 2003, the Company had provided for an allowance for doubtful accounts totaling $72,062 against the gross asset balance of $80,062. No further expense was recorded at the time of the sale. On April 28, 2004, the Company made a loan of $30,000 to AUSA, Inc. for general corporate purposes. The loan is unsecured, bears an annual interest rate of 5.0%, and is payable on demand. On July 7, 2004, Lincoln released AUSA, Inc. from its obligation to repay this debt resulting in a write-off of $30,000 in principal, plus accrued interest. The Company has no commitments to make additional loans or advances to AUSA, Inc. in the future. NOTE G - OTHER RECEIVABLE On August 12, 2003, the Company received a payment of $56,298 as the final installment due for the purchase of its payroll client list under a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated December 5, 2002. Currently, no further agreements or obligations exist between the Company and the buyer except for a surviving provision in the Purchase and Sale Agreement for the Company not to engage in payroll preparation services through December 5, 2005. NOTE H - LITIGATION SETTLEMENT On October 17, 2003, the Company settled the lawsuit it filed in October 2002 against former employees of the Company and a new company they formed to compete with the Company's Accounting USA division. Terms of the settlement include the return of 200 shares of Common Stock in the Company owned by a former officer, as well as other agreements regarding non-solicitation of clients and non-competition. The 200 shares surrendered to the Company were valued at $72,000 and have been retired. A non-operating gain of $72,000 was recorded in the first fiscal quarter to account for this transaction. NOTE I - LINE OF CREDIT On October 30, 2003, the Company entered into a one-year Revolving Note and Security Agreement with a commercial bank in the amount of $53,000 to re-finance an existing bank loan. Any advances under the line of credit will be secured by funds in a money market account in that bank. On January 30, 2004, this Revolving Note was paid-in-full and the line was closed. NOTE J - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On April 28, 2004, the Company made a loan of $30,000 to AUSA, Inc. for general corporate purposes. The loan is unsecured, bears an annual interest rate of 5.0%, and is payable on demand. On July 7, 2004, Lincoln released AUSA, Inc. from its obligation to repay this debt resulting in a write-off of $30,000 in principal, plus accrued interest. The Company has no commitments to make additional loans or advances to AUSA, Inc. in the future. On June 29, 2004, Lincoln International Corporation received notice that Mr. Thurman L. Sisney, its President, Treasurer and Chief Executive Officer, was resigning, effective immediately. Mr. Sisney also resigned from the Board of Directors. No reason was given for Mr. Sisney's resignations. The Board of Directors has elected Richard Frockt, Chairman of the Board & Secretary, to the additional position of President. Further, Kenneth Berryman, acting President of AUSA, Inc., was elected Treasurer. -9- In October 2003, certain shareholders representing 77% of the then-issued and outstanding capital stock in the Company, entered into an agreement with a third-party to acquire all of their shares subsequent to the removal of all assets, liabilities, contracts and operations from the Company. This agreement was terminated in July 2004. On July 5, 2004, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $120.00 per share on its Common Stock, no par value, payable to shareholders of record on July 5, 2004. LINCOLN INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION PART 1: FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Lincoln International Corporation ("Lincoln" or the "Company"), is a Kentucky corporation that was incorporated in 1960. During the reporting period, the Company was engaged in providing bookkeeping services to small and medium sized businesses primarily in Louisville, Kentucky through its Accounting USA division, and the rental of commercial office property located in Louisville, Kentucky through its Rental Property division. In the first fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2003, Lincoln sold its last rental property and discontinued operations of the Rental Property division. On January 30, 2004, Lincoln distributed to its stockholders its operating company, AUSA, Inc., containing its bookkeeping business and no longer has any operations. ACCOUNTING USA Accounting USA was founded in 1999 and provides accounting/bookkeeping services for small to medium sized businesses primarily in the metropolitan area of Louisville, Kentucky. Accounting USA has developed and provides Internet access for its clients into its accounting platform. The business is not seasonal nor is it dependant on any particular customers. Direct competition for the outsourcing of the accounting/payroll business is to the belief of Lincoln minimal in the Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan area. Many small to medium sized businesses employ in-house personnel to perform the accounting/bookkeeping responsibilities for their company. Some CPA firms and small bookkeeping firms provide bookkeeping services for their clients although this is usually done on a historical basis as compared with or contrasted to the services provided by Accounting USA on a "real-time" basis. Accounting USA's core functions are: accounts payable; accounts receivable; job cost; bank reconciliation; time and billing; and financial statements. Accounting USA also provides numerous customized financial reports to its clients. The primary market channels for Accounting USA are direct sales and business referrals from banks, CPA's or other businesses. The operating plan of Accounting USA has been to develop its systems and services in the Louisville market and then to offer its services in other metropolitan markets around the country. Management believes the services of Accounting USA meets a unique market niche, particularly with the Internet access available to its clients. Given that the outsourcing of accounting/bookkeeping can save clients up to 40% of the cost of doing the same service in-house, management believes that the outsourcing concept of Accounting USA has potential for future expansion and growth. Accounting USA does not replace the services performed by the client's CPA, such as tax preparation and audits. Accordingly, CPA's often find the bookkeeping performed on behalf of their client facilitates the provision of their professional services. Lincoln no longer provides any financial assistance or support to the development efforts of Accounting USA. -10- REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS During recent years the Company has been involved in the business of owning and leasing commercial real estate. In recent years, the Company has owned properties located at 2200, 2300, and 2211 Greene Way, and 11860 Capital Way in Louisville, Kentucky. However, during the first fiscal quarter of 2004, the Company liquidated its real estate portfolio and discontinued these operations. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2004 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2003 As of January 31, 2004, the Company has no operating activity other than corporate administration. These costs totaled $51,902 in the current quarter compared with $25,352 in the prior year quarter and consisted primarily of the write-off of a note receivable (see Note F) and various professional fees. Professional fees in the current quarter consisted of legal, accounting and administrative costs associated with maintaining the Company's corporate shell. The Company earned $1,331 of interest income in the quarter compared with interest expense of $9,599 a year ago as proceeds from the sale of rental property in the first fiscal quarter were used to pay off corporate debts and increase cash and money market investments. The Company also incurred a gain of $6,230 on the sale of marketable securities. The net loss from continuing operations increased $9,389 to $44,341 compared with a loss of $34,952 a year ago. During the current quarter, the Company recognized a loss from discontinued operations of $256 compared with a loss of $145,840 a year ago. Current losses from discontinued operations consist solely of miscellaneous expenses whereas the year-ago loss includes operating results of the former Rental Property and Accounting USA divisions. The Company's net loss decreased $136,194 to $44,597 compared with a net loss of $180,791 a year ago. Inflation has not had any material impact during the last 3 years on net revenue or income from operations. The Company has had no material benefit from increases in its prices for services during the last three years. NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2004 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2003 As of January 31, 2004, the Company has no operating activity other than corporate administration. These costs totaled $92,202 in the year-to-date period compared with $52,391 in the prior year period and consisted primarily of the write-off of a note receivable (see Note F), various professional fees and corporate taxes. The increase in fees in the current period resulted from the spin-off of the AUSA, Inc. subsidiary and the winding-down of operations. The Company incurred $13 in net interest income in the first nine months of fiscal 2004 compared with $27,982 of interest expense a year ago as proceeds from the sale of rental property in the first fiscal quarter were used to pay off corporate debts and increase cash and money market investments. Other income consisted of a $72,000 gain on the surrender of common stock under a litigation settlement agreement (see Note H) and a gain of $6,230 on the sale of marketable securities. The net loss from continuing operations decreased $66,414 to $13,959 compared with a loss of $80,373 a year ago. -11- On January 30, 2004, the Company completed the distribution of the Accounting USA division to its shareholders as a non-cash dividend (see Note D). During the current period, the Company incurred a loss of $151,109 from discontinued operations including losses of $96,985 in the Accounting USA division and $54,124 in the Rental Property division. This compares with a loss of $225,247 a year ago. The year-ago period includes income of $45,379 from the sale of the Company's payroll operation. The operating loss from discontinued operations was offset by a $367,633 gain on the sale of rental property resulting in income from discontinued operations of $216,524 for the first nine months of fiscal 2004. The company has accrued $9,000 for local income taxes that are not subject to net operating loss carryforwards resulting in net income from discontinued operations of $207,524. The Company's net income increased $499,185 to $193,565 in the first nine months of fiscal 2004 compared with a loss of $305,620 a year ago. Inflation has not had any material impact during the last 3 years on net revenue or income from operations. The Company has had no material benefit from increases in its prices for services during the last three years. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash increased $341,163 to $363,107 during the nine months ended April 30, 2004, primarily due to the net cash proceeds from the sale of the Company's sole remaining rental property in the Company's first fiscal quarter. The sale of the real estate property was completed on August 22, 2003 resulting in the repayment of $543,150 in mortgage debt and receipt of $637,664 in net cash at settlement. With the disposition in January 2004 of its Accounting USA operations, the Company has no substantial ongoing capital or liquidity commitments. ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. The Company's management has evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Company's last Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information the Company is required to disclose in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
