DIVESTITURE OF THE LINCOLN SAVINGS BANK, FSB LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
As previously reported, the Lincoln Savings Bank, FSB ("Lincoln" or the "Bank") was the primary asset of Lincorp Holdings, Inc., ("LHI" or the "Company"). On January 20, 1993, in connection with the transaction described below, the Company relinquished control of the Bank by placing the common stock of Lincoln (the "Lincoln Shares") into a trust for eventual sale, and by filing a divestiture notice with the Office of Thrift Supervision (the OTS).
On March 4, 1994, Lincoln entered into a definitive agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") with Anchor Savings Bank FSB ("Anchor") whereby Anchor would acquire all of the assets in the trust (the "Trust Assets"), including outstanding preferred and common stock of Lincoln and a senior secured note, for $80 million in cash. The transaction was subject to, among other things, regulatory approval of the OTS and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Approval of the transaction was granted on July 12, 1994 and the transaction was completed on August 12, 1994. As anticipated under the Acquisition Agreement, the Company received none of the proceeds from the sale of Lincoln but two of the Companys lenders received a total of $6.1 million as repayment of a portion of the principal amount of debt owed them. This payment to the Companys lenders represents a reduction in the loss recorded in 1992 relating to the Companys writedown of its investment in Lincoln. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a $6.1 million income adjustment in 1994 relating to the discontinued operations of Lincoln.
At December 31, 1994 the Company had $105.2 million of principal indebtedness and approximately $41.0 million of accrued and unpaid interest (the principal and interest are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Indebtedness") part of which is included in the net liability of discontinued operations. The Companys parent company, Unicorp Energy Corporation ("UEC"), holds $133.5 million of the Companys Indebtedness and Hees International Bancorp, Inc. ("Hees"), which currently owns an indirect 24.6% non-voting equity interest in UEC, holds the balance of the Indebtness, $12.7 million. All of LHIs remaining assets, $.7 million, are pledged to its lenders. The Companys sources of funds during the year ended December 31, 1994 and to date have been primarily funds from the sale of marketable securities and payments received from mortgage receivables. The assets being utilized by the Company are part of the collateral package securing the Companys Indebtedness. Unless LHIs lenders continue to defer in realizing on the pledged collateral and allow the Company to utilize the proceeds from such collateral to fund its day to day operating expenses, LHI will be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company is continuing to meet with its lenders to discuss its future prospects. The Company hopes that its lenders will continue to forbear from exercising their remedies so that the Company may seek out opportunities which, among other matters, will allow it to realize on its intangible assets and tax attributes.
On January 20, 1993, the Company, UEC, and certain other parties entered into an agreement with the OTS (the "Lincoln Agreement") dated as of December 31, 1992 relating to Lincoln, pursuant to which (i) the Company filed a divestiture notice with the OTS which divested it of its savings and loan holding company status and all further involvement in the affairs and management of the Bank, (ii) the Company had the Lincoln Shares deposited into a Trust created pursuant to the terms of the Lincoln Agreement, (iii) all litigation between the Company, the OTS and certain other parties was settled, and (iv) the Bank received an infusion of capital by the purchase of $15 million of convertible preferred shares and $15 million in the form of a senior secured note.
As a result of this transaction, the Company deconsolidated the operations of the Bank from its operations for financial reporting purposes. This document, therefore, includes no information, financial or otherwise, relating to the operations of Lincoln for the years ended December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994.
As part of this transaction, UEC returned to the Company $10 million of preferred stock of the Company owned by it, plus its right to receive approximately $2 million in accrued and unpaid dividends. This preferred stock was voting stock and holders of such stock were entitled to receive dividends on a cumulative basis of $.9 million per annum. This stock has been retired by the Company.
The Lincoln Shares previously had been pledged to the Companys lenders to secure the Indebtedness, which had been in default since August 1991. These lenders had informed the Company that the agreement with the OTS was in their best interests and represented the best means for the lenders to realize upon the value of the pledged collateral. In connection with the Lincoln Agreement, the Companys lenders agreed to release their liens on the Lincoln Shares and substitute therefor an interest in the proceeds from the sale of the Bank. As part of this transaction, National Bank of Canada, the Companys primary lender ("NBC"), transferred to UEC approximately $77 million in indebtedness plus accrued and unpaid interest owed to NBC by the Company. In consideration for the transfer, NBC acquired approximately 30% of the convertible preferred stock of Lincoln acquired by UEC or approximately 25% of the equity of the Bank. All of the remaining assets of the Company continue to be pledged to the Companys lenders.
The debt acquired from NBC by UEC was acquired at a cost of $4.7 million. As UEC is an affiliate of the Company, the amount of debt transferred which is in excess of the face amount is, for United States federal and state income tax purposes, considered forgiveness of indebtedness of the Company and therefore is required to be included as taxable income by the Company. The Company will not have to pay United States federal or state taxes on this income because of its insolvency. However, tax attributes of the Company (net operating loss carry forwards, capital losses and built-in losses) will be reduced to the extent of the forgiveness of indebtedness. Additionally, in connection with the transfer of the Lincoln Shares, for United States federal tax purposes, the Company may realize a bad debt loss of approximately $85 million as well as certain as yet undetermined and unrealized potential capital losses. No benefit has been recorded for these items due to the uncertainty of realization.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
1994 COMPARED TO 1993 ---------------------
For the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company had net income of $4.2 million compared to a net loss of $11.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1993. This $15.7 million change from 1993 to 1994 is primarily attributable to the following, all of which were reflected in the fourth quarter of 1994:
(1) A $6.1 million recovery on the writedown of its investment in Lincoln as two of the Companys lenders received a total of $6.1 million, as repayment of a portion of the principal amount of debt owed them, in connection with the closing of the Lincoln sale to Anchor.
(2) A $4.5 million decrease in the estimated writedown of assets from discontinued real estate operations primarily due to the improved real estate market.
(3) A $3.4 million reversal of accrued income taxes relating to discontinued operations reflecting a revision of the Companys estimate of this liability.
(4) A $1.5 million increase in other income related to the reversal of certain prior period reserves that are no longer needed.
1993 COMPARED TO 1992 ---------------------
At December 31, 1992, the Company reflected the divestiture of the Bank and accounted for these activities as discontinued operations. For the year ended December 31, 1993, the Company had a net loss was $11.5 million compared to $107.7 million loss for the same period in 1992. The decrease in loss of $96.2 million was due primarily to:
(1) loss on writedown in the investment in Lincoln of $90 million in 1992; (2) loss from discontinued operations of Lincoln of $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1992; (3) decrease in income taxes of $.5 million; (4) decrease in interest expense of $.2 million; (5) decrease in other expenses of $.4 million; and (6) increase in interest and other income of $.2 million.
As previously discussed above, the Company reflected the divestiture of Lincoln for the year ended December 31, 1992. A writedown of $90 million was recorded because it was unlikely that the Company would realize any recovery of equity from the Bank due to the right of LHIs lenders to receive LHIs portion of the proceeds of any eventual sale of the Bank to the extent of LHIs outstanding indebtedness. The Lincoln Shares had previously been pledged to the Companys lenders to secure the indebtedness of the Company, which indebtedness has been in default since August 1991. With respect to the writedown, the Company recorded a $7 million tax benefit as a result of the loss.
Loss from discontinued operations of Lincoln amounted to $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1992.
The decrease in income taxes is primarily due to no benefit being recognized on disposal of real estate until such time as the losses are realized.
The decrease in interest on borrowed funds is attributable to a decline in the weighted average interest cost of borrowed funds to 10.22% in 1993 from 10.27% in 1992. The weighted average debt level was $111.3 million in 1993, as compared to $112.3 million in 1992 (inclusive of $9 million classified as discontinued operations).
The decline in other expenses was due to a reduction in the business activity of the Company.
FINANCIAL POSITION
MATERIAL CHANGES DURING 1994 ----------------------------
At December 31, 1994, the Company had $105.2 million principal indebtedness and approximately $41.0 million of accrued and unpaid interest (the principal and interest are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Indebtedness") part of which is included in the net liability of real estate discontinued operations. The Companys parent company, Unicorp Energy Corporation ("UEC"), holds $133.5 million of the Companys Indebtedness and Hees International Bancorp, Inc. ("Hees"), which currently owns an indirect 24.6% non-voting equity interest in UEC, holds the balance of the Indebtness, $12.7 million. LHI is in default under all of its debt obligations.
The Companys assets decreased from $1.2 million at December 31, 1993 to $.7 million at December 31, 1994 as the Company wrote off approximately $.3 million in furniture and fixtures, and cash and marketable securities were used to fund the general and administrative function of the Company.
The principal amount of the Companys indebtedness was reduced $6.1 million ($5.0 million relating to continuing operations and $1.1 million relating to discontinued operations) as two of the Companys lenders received in total $6.1 million in connection with the closing of the Lincoln sale to Anchor.
The net liability of real estate discontinued operations decreased $5.5 million primarily as certain loss accrual estimates were reduced by $4.5 million due to an improving real estate market and, as previously discussed, the $1.1 million payment received by one of the Companys lenders in connection with the settlement of the Lincoln sale.
Other liabilities increased $5.9 million due to a $10.8 million increase in accrued interest payable offset by a $3.2 million decrease in accrued income taxes and a $1.7 million decrease in other accrued expenses. The decrease in taxes and other accrued expenses reflects a revision of the Companys estimate of these expenses.
Effective January 1, 1995, as a result of an improving real estate market, the Company reformulated their business plan to focus on such activity. Accordingly, effective January 1, 1995 the Company restated its balance sheet to reflect the real estate operations as a continuing operation. See Note 9 to the Companys Financial Statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Lincorp Holdings, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Lincorp Holdings, Inc. ("Company") as of December 31, 1994, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lincorp Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company is in default on all its credit facilities and, at December 31, 1994, has $105.2 million of principal indebtedness, and $41.0 million of accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company has a net capital deficiency of $148.9 million as of December 31, 1994. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
April 8, 1994
To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of Lincorp Holdings, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements of operations, of changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Lincorp Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 1993 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of Lincorp Holdings, Inc.'s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. We have not audited the consolidated financial statements of Lincorp Holdings, Inc. for any period subsequent to December 31, 1993.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Lincorp Holdings, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1, on January 20, 1993, Lincorp Holdings, Inc. relinquished control of its primary asset and only operating entity, The Lincoln Savings Bank, FSB ("Lincoln"), and wrote-off its investment in Lincoln. Lincorp Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") has experienced significant losses in operations, is in default on all of its credit facilities and, at December 31, 1993, has $111.3 million of principal indebtedness, $29.7 million of accrued and unpaid interest and $1.2 million of assets. The Company's parent and lenders have indicated that they are not prepared to (1) defer in collecting the amounts due them and (2) provide funds to meet the Company's liabilities during the next 12 months. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

LINCORP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - DIVESTITURE OF THE LINCOLN SAVINGS BANK, FSB -----------------------------------------------------
As previously reported, the Lincoln Savings Bank, FSB ("Lincoln" or the "Bank") was the primary asset of Lincorp Holdings, Inc., ("LHI" or the "Company"). On January 20, 1993, in connection with the transaction described below, the Company relinquished control of the Bank by placing the common stock of Lincoln (the "Lincoln Shares") into a trust for eventual sale, and by filing a divestiture notice with the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS").
On March 4, 1994, Lincoln entered into a definitive agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") with Anchor Savings Bank FSB ("Anchor") whereby Anchor would acquire all of the assets in the trust (the "Trust Assets"), including outstanding preferred and common stock of Lincoln and a senior secured note, for $80 million in cash. The transaction was subject to, among other things, regulatory approval of the OTS and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Approval of the transaction was granted on July 12, 1994 and the transaction was completed on August 12, 1994. As anticipated under the Acquisition Agreement, the Company received none of the proceeds from the sale of Lincoln but two of the Companys lenders received a total of $6.1 million as repayment of a portion of the principal amount of debt owed them. This payment to the Companys lenders represents a reduction in the loss recorded in 1992 relating to the Companys writedown of its investment in Lincoln. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a $6.1 million income adjustment in 1994 relating to the discontinued operations of Lincoln.
On January 20, 1993, the Company, its parent company, Unicorp Energy Corporation ("UEC"), and certain other parties entered into an agreement with the OTS (the "Lincoln Agreement") dated as of December 31, 1992 relating to Lincoln, pursuant to which (i) the Company filed a divestiture notice with the OTS which divested it of its savings and loan holding company status and all further involvement in the affairs and management of the Bank, (ii) the Company had the Lincoln Shares deposited into a Trust created pursuant to the terms of the Lincoln Agreement, (iii) all litigation between the Company, the OTS and certain other parties was settled, and (iv) the Bank received an infusion of capital by the purchase of $15 million of convertible preferred shares and $15 million in the form of a senior secured note.
As a result of this transaction, the Company deconsolidated the operations of the Bank from its operations for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, the financial statements include no information, financial or otherwise relating to the operations of Lincoln for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992.
LINCORP HOLDINS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As part of this transaction, UEC returned to the Company $10 million of preferred stock of the Company owned by it, plus its right to receive approximately $2 million in accrued and unpaid dividends. This preferred stock was voting stock and holders of such stock were entitled to receive dividends on a cumulative basis of $.9 million per annum. This stock has been retired by the Company.
The Lincoln Shares previously had been pledged to the Companys lenders to secure the Bank indebtedness, which had been in default since August 1991. These lenders had informed the Company that the agreement with the OTS was in their best interests and represented the best means for the lenders to realize upon the value of the pledged collateral. In connection with the Lincoln Agreement, the Companys lenders agreed to release their liens on the Lincoln Shares and substitute therefor an interest in the proceeds from the sale of the Bank. As part of this transaction, National Bank of Canada, the Companys primary lender ("NBC"), transferred to UEC approximately $77 million in indebtedness plus accrued and unpaid interest owed to NBC by the Company. In consideration for the transfer, NBC acquired approximately 30% of the convertible preferred stock of Lincoln acquired by UEC or approximately 25% of the equity of the Bank. All of the remaining assets of the Company continue to be pledged to the Companys lenders.
The debt acquired from NBC by UEC was acquired at a cost of $4.7 million. As UEC is an affiliate of the Company, the amount of debt transferred which is in excess of the face amount is, for United States federal and state income tax purposes, considered forgiveness of indebtedness of the Company and therefore is required to be included as taxable income by the Company. The Company will not have to pay United States federal or state taxes on this income because of its insolvency. However, tax attributes of the Company (net operating loss carry forwards, capital losses and built-in losses) will be reduced to the extent of the forgiveness of indebtedness. Additionally, in connection with the transfer of the Lincoln Shares, for United States federal tax purposes, the Company may realize a bad debt loss of approximately $85 million as well as certain as yet undetermined and unrealized potential capital losses. No benefit has been recorded for these items due to the uncertainty of realization.
NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN ------------------------------------
At December 31, 1994, LHI had outstanding $146.2 million of indebtedness (the "Indebtedness") (including interest payable of $41.0 million) under its Senior, Subordinated and Junior Credit Facilities part of which is included in the net liability of discontinued operations. UEC holds $133.5 million of the Companys, Indebtedness and Hees
LINCORP HOLDINS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
International Bancorp, Inc. ("Hees"), which currently owns an indirect 24.6% non-voting equity interest in UEC, holds the balance of the Indebtness, $12.7 million. LHI is in payment default under each of the above mentioned credit facilities. As part of the Agreement, the Companys lenders agreed to release their liens on the Lincoln Shares and substitute therefor an interest in the proceeds from the sale of the Bank. These credit facilities are secured by a security interest in all of LHIs remaining assets.
LHIs sources of funds during the year ended December 31, 1994 and to date have been primarily funds from the sales of marketable securities and payments received from mortgage receivables. The assets generating the funds being utilized by LHI are part of the collateral package securing the above described credit facilities. Unless LHIs lenders are prepared to continue to defer in realizing on the pledged collateral and allow LHI to utilize the proceeds from such collateral to fund its limited ongoing operations, LHI will be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ---------------------------------------------------
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
On December 31, 1992, LHI relinquished control over Lincoln and filed a divestiture notice with the OTS (See Note 1). Since the divestiture was consummated effective as of December 31, 1992, the operating results of Lincoln have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1992 and subsequent years.
INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Effective January 1, 1994 the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Boards Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. At December 31, 1994, the Company has classified its marketable securities as available-for-sale.
Investments in marketable securities represent investments in U.S. Government bonds and are carried at quoted market value.
INCOME TAXES
In January 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes, resulting in no cumulative effect for prior periods. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in
LINCORP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
NOTE 4 - DISCONTINUED REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS --------------------------------------------
In 1989, the Company announced its intention to dispose of its real estate rental and development operations owned outside of Lincoln and to account for these activities as discontinued operations. A provision for loss on disposal of real estate operations in the amount of $68 million, including $14.4 million for operating losses during the phaseout period, was recorded for the year ended December 31, 1989.
Assets of discontinued operations at December 31, 1994 and 1993 are recorded at their estimated net realizable value including provision for the cost of disposition, interest, and other carrying costs estimated for the disposition period. Mortgage loans and note payable on real estate assets and the amount advanced under the new facility to repay the remaining outstanding indebtedness under the previous Senior Credit Facility, which was secured by real estate assets, were included in the discontinued operations. During 1994 the Company decreased its estimated loss on the writedown of the assets of the discontinued real estate operations by $4.5 million, primarily reflecting an improved real estate market. (See Note 9).
Net liability for discontinued operations consisted of the following:
(a) Indebtedness to bank consisted of a portion of the $24 million Senior Credit Agreement (See Note 6). $9 million under the new facility was advanced to repay the remaining outstanding indebtedness under the previous senior loan facility and was classified with discontinued operations. The balance was decreased to $7.9 million due to a payment made to the lender in connection with the closing of the Lincoln sale to Anchor (See Note 1).
NOTE 5 - OTHER LIABILITIES --------------------------
A summary of other liabilities is as follows:
NOTE 6 - BORROWED FUNDS -----------------------
The Companys borrowed funds are as follows:
(a) In July 1990, as part of the refinancing of the Companys debt, the Company entered into a $24 million Secured Revolving Credit Facility provided by National Bank of Canada (NBC) and Hees. The facility expired in August 1991 and the Company has not paid any interest due since that time. Furthermore, the $24 million Secured Revolving Credit Facility was secured by a first lien on substantially all the Company's
LINCORP HOLDINS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
remaining assets including the shares of Lincorp, Inc., the holding company of Lincoln, which were released, as part of the Lincoln Agreement on January 20, 1993. In connection with the Lincoln Agreement, NBC assigned its rights and obligations under the credit facility to UEC. In connection with the settlement of the Lincoln sale to Anchor, Hees was repaid $3.1 million of which $2.0 million was allocated to continuing operations and $1.1 million was allocated to discontinued operations (See Notes 1 and 4).
(b) In August 1987, the Company entered into the $65 million Subordinated Credit Facility with the NBC which matures in August 1997 and calls for interest- only payments at a fixed rate of 11.4 percent, payable semi-annually. The Company may prepay the loan at any time in whole or in amounts aggregating $1 million or any larger multiple of $1 million. The term loan includes convenants, among others, that require the maintenance of a minimum level of tangible net worth and limit aggregate levels of additional indebtedness. As a result of the losses incurred by the Company, it was not in compliance with the above covenants and has not paid its semi-annual interest payment since August 1991 (See Note 1). In connection with Lincoln Agreement, NBC assigned its rights and obligations under the Subordinated Credit Facility to UEC.
(c) In November 1989, the Company entered into an agreement with UEC that provided the Company with a line of credit in the aggregate amount of $30 million (amended to $25 million on July 25,1990) due on demand pursuant to the following terms and conditions:
1. Interest is paid at a rate per annum determined daily, equal to three and one-half percent above the rate publicly announced from time to time by Citibank, N.A. as the rate charged for unsecured borrowings of 90 days or less to its credit-worthy customers. 2. A standby fee of one quarter of one percent of the unused portion of the commitment.
All payments of principal and interest above the prime rate under this agreement shall be subordinated in right to payment to senior indebtedness which means the $24 million Secured Revolving Credit Facility (as described in Note 1) and the Subordinated Credit Facility. Payment of all interest charges and a portion of the fees referred to above will be deferred until payment in full of the senior indebtedness.
In connection with the closing of the Lincoln sale to Anchor, UEC was repaid $3.1 million (See Note 1).
LINCORP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the year, the weighted average amount of borrowed funds outstanding (including debt related to discontinued operations) was $109 million (1993 - $111.3 million) and the weighted average interest cost of these funds during the year was 10.45 percent (1993 - 10.37 percent). The maximum amount of borrowed funds at any one time during 1994 and 1993 was approximately $111.3 million and $112.3 million, respectively.
In December 1991, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 107 Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ("FAS 107"). The statement generally became effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1992, at which time entities were required to disclose the fair value of on and off-balance sheet financial instruments, determined on a basis consistent with the requirements of FAS 107. In view of the current financial position of the Company at December 31, 1994, management has determined it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of payables.
NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS DEFICIT -----------------------------
On September 16, 1992, LHI effected a 10-for-1 reverse stock split of its Common Stock and 10,000-for-1 reverse stock split of its Series A 9% Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"). As a result, the Company had 1,730,559 shares of Common Stock outstanding and 200 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 1992 of which the Preferred Stock was contributed back to the Company. All per share data has been adjusted for the stock split.
As part of the Lincoln Agreement discussed in Note 1, UEC contributed back to the Company $10 million of the Companys Preferred Stock owned by it, plus its right to receive approximately $2 million in accrued and unpaid dividends. This Preferred Stock was voting stock and holders of such stock were entitled to receive dividends on a cumulative basis of $.9 million per annum. This stock has been retired by the Company.
The Company is authorized to issue 2,000,000 shares, consisting of 10,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 1,990,000 shares of Common Stock.
The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters presented to the stockholders.
LINCORP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES ---------------------
Set forth below is an analysis of the Companys provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992.
A reconciliation of the total provision for income taxes to amounts computed by applying the federal tax rate to income is as follows:
The accompanying balance sheets reflect no deferred tax assets or liabilities as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, as a result of the application of FAS 109.
As part of the Lincoln Agreement (See Note 1), the Companys debt owed to the NBC of approximately $77 million plus accrued and unpaid interest owed to NBC by the Company was transferred to UEC. The debt acquired from NBC by UEC was acquired at a cost of $4.7 million. As a result of the transfer of the debt to an affiliate of the Company, the amount of debt transferred which is in excess of the face amount is, for federal and state income tax purposes, considered forgiveness of debt of the Company and therefore is required to be included as taxable income by the Company. The Company will not have to pay federal or state taxes on this income because of its insolvency pursuant to Internal Revenue Service Code Section 108 (Discharge of Indebtedness). However, tax attributes of the Company (net operating loss carry forwards, capital losses and built-in losses) will be reduced to the extent of the forgiveness of indebtedness. Additionally, for federal tax purposes, the Company may realize a bad debt loss of approximately $85 million, as well as
LINCORP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
certain as yet undetermined and unrealized potential capital losses. The Company has fully reserved any deferred tax benefit associated with the net operating loss carryforwards.
With respect to the loss on disposal of real estate, no tax benefit has been recorded due to the uncertainty of realization. Accordingly, the tax benefit attributable to the loss on disposal of real estate will be recorded if and when such benefits are realized.
Under current tax law, the utilization of the Companys tax attributes and unrecorded tax benefits will be restricted if an ownership change were to occur. Section 382 of the Code provides, in general, that if an ownership change occurs with respect to a corporation with net operating, capital or built-in loss carryforwards, such carryforwards will be available to offset taxable income in each taxable year after the ownership change only up to the Section 382 limitation for each year (generally, the product of the fair market value of the corporations stock, at the time of the ownership change, with certain adjustments, and a specified long-term tax-exempt bond rate at such time). For these purposes, an ownership change occurs if over a three-year statutory testing period, there has been more than a 50 percentage point increase in the stock ownership of the corporation by 5 percent shareholders. A 5 percent shareholder includes an owner of 5% or more of the stock of the corporation (determined after application of special ownership attribution rules) and a group (or groups) consisting of those other stockholders owning individually less than 5% of the stock of the corporation. The Companys ability to use its loss carryforwards would probably be limited in the event of an ownership change.
In May 1990, a subsidiary of the Company conveyed a property to one of its lenders, in the form of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, resulting in a tax assessment of $1.2 million being made by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on such transfer. Shortly thereafter, this subsidiary was dissolved but the tax liability remains outstanding. If the Company were required to pay this liability, it may not have the financial resources to do so.
In addition, the Company has received notices of assessment dated February 15, 1992 and March 17, 1994 totaling $70 thousand and $165 thousand, respectively. The assessments disclosed in the Notice dated February 15, 1992 were based upon tax liabilities previously paid by the Company. The Company is attempting to determine whether the assessments disclosed in the Notice dated March 17, 1994 are in addition to, or corrections to, the assessments disclosed in the Notice dated February 15, 1992, or, with regard to the apparent assessment for the tax period ended December 31, 1995, why the assessment has been made. The Company is reviewing its alternatives with regard to these assessments, which include payment, litigation before the Massachusetts Appellate Tax Board, or an Offer in Settlement to the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. The interest and penalties disclosed in the Notice dated February 15, 1992 appear to have been properly made, and the assessments appear to be correct if the previous tax payments were proper. The assessment disclosed in the notice dated March 17, 1994 have not yet been explained by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. The potential success of any of the above alternatives cannot be determined at this time.

NOTE 9 -SUBSEQUENT EVENT ------------------------
Effective January 1, 1995, as a result of an improving real estate market the Company reformulated their business plan to focus on such activity. Accordingly, effective January 1, 1995, the Company restated its balance sheet to reflect the real estate operations as a continuing operation. The restatement will have no effect on the statement of operations. In 1995 the Company will recognize its equity in earnings in accordance with the equity method of accounting. The following is the restated balance sheet of the Company as of January 1, 1995 (dollars in thousands):
