PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) General
C.E.C. Industries Corp. is a Nevada corporation
with principal and executive offices located at 23 Cactus
Garden Drive, F-60, Henderson, Nevada 89014, telephone
(702) 893-4747. C.E.C. Industries Corp. and it's
consolidated subsidiaries are referred to as either C.E.C. or
the "Company." C.E.C. is engaged in several unrelated
businesses through its primary subsidiaries, Custom
Environmental International, (hereinafter referred to as
"CEI"), (carbon reactivation technology), Mid-Nevada Art,
Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Mid-Nevada Art"), (art
collection), and Basia Holding, Inc. (hereinafter referred to
as "Basia"), (holds title to 9,000 acres of land and mineral
leases in Tennessee). The Company also has methane gas
interests in Alabama (hereinafter referred to as "Atlas
Methane Leases") and a 24.5% interest in Victory Village
Associates Limited III (hereinafter referred to as "Victory
Village"), (320 unit multi-family project in Henderson,
Nevada). The Company's current organization was
accomplished through a merger and acquisition program
during the last two fiscal years ended March 31, 1997, and
continuing through the present.
C.E.C. was incorporated as Justheim Petroleum
Company in Nevada in 1952. C.E.C. Management Corp.
was merged into Justheim Petroleum Company effective
December 31, 1986, and was renamed C.E.C. Industries
Corp. Prior to the merger, Justheim had historically
engaged in the business of acquiring, holding and selling
oil and gas leaseholds and retaining overriding royalty
rights. C.E.C. Management Corp. primarily was in the
business of engineering consulting and designing and
marketing customized minerals processing systems and
equipment.
C.E.C.'s primary business had been the manufacture
and sale of minerals processing equipment through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, "CEI" formerly Custom
Equipment Corporation. Custom was a pioneer in the
development of custom gold processing equipment in the
early to mid-1980's, thus, business was very profitable.
However, as gold prices declined after the early 1980's,
fewer gold plants were built, more competitors entered the
market, and Custom's business was negatively impacted.
The Company attempted to use its expertise and
know-how to develop the carbon reactivation furnace
technology in the water treatment industry, but the
continued losses in the metallurgical business caused a
capital drain necessitating other measures. Custom
Environmental International became the renamed
subsidiary to carry on the efforts, building a new prototype
carbon furnace still in the development stage. The
metallurgical equipment business was sold in fiscal year
1991.
A spin-off of CEI was proposed in late 1995,
however, on August 5, 1996 the Board of Directors had a
formal meeting regarding the proposed spin-off (previously
filed in the 8-K of October 4, 1995) of the Company's
subsidiary C.E.I. Due to the fact that the prior Board of
Directors did not complete the spin-off of C.E.I. and the
documentation regarding this spin-off is not included in the
official books and records of the Company, the current
Board of Directors has decided that the spin-off of C.E.I. is
not in the best interests of the Company or it's shareholders
and has terminated all spin-off plans for C.E.I. at this time.
In September 1993, the Board of Directors of
C.E.C considered expanding the Company's business into
opportunities outside of the carbon reactivation furnace
technology business, and thus caused several new directors
with real estate expertise to join the C.E.C. board. The
intent being to develop land owned by the Company in St.
George, Utah as well as other properties to be acquired.
The Company formed Moonridge Development
Corp. as a wholly-owned subsidiary on February 24, 1994
(hereinafter referred to as "Moonridge"), to develop the
Company's property and subsequently other parcels of
property. In 1995, Moonridge acquired a General
Contractor License and began development of a 320 unit
multi-family complex in Henderson, Nevada. After much
discussion regarding the liability of such a project, the
Board of Directors on June 10, 1996, signed a Mutual
Release and Hold Harmless Agreement with Moonridge
Development Corp., DSM Golf Enterprises, Inc. and
Charles McHaffie. This agreement released the Company's
interest in Moonridge Development Corp. However, the
Company regained title to all the lands owned by Moonridge
and retained its 24.5% interest in the Victory Village
Associates Limited III, a 320 unit multi-family HUD project
in Henderson, Nevada.
In the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company acquired
Sterling Travel, and the revenues and expenses thereof from
February 28, 1995 to March 31, 1995, were included in the
revenues and expenses for fiscal 1995. Pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the agreement with the 100% owner
of Sterling Travel, the Company was purchasing the travel
Company for 400,000 shares of preferred stock of the
Company, at a valued price of $5 per share, convertible to
common stock, with a total value of $2 million. In the event
that in two years, the price of the stock of the Company was
not valued at $5 per share, then in that event the Company
was required to off set the difference with the issuance of
additional shares of common stock. According to the
agreement, the preferred stock was to be issued according to
an earn out schedule based upon revenues earned by Sterling
Travel. However, Sterling Travel did not receive the
revenue projections as initially anticipated, and the preferred
stock was not issued, and the transaction was canceled.
On March 28, 1996, the Company entered into an
agreement whereby the Company issued 8,660,000 shares of
common restricted voting stock and 8,663,041 shares of
preferred voting stock of the company in exchange for 100%
of the issued and outstanding common shares of Basia
Holding, Inc., a Tennessee Corporation holding title to
9,000 acres of land and 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Mid-Nevada Art, Inc., and 100% of
Atlas Methane fully paid leasehold interests which
leasehold interests include approximately 13,500 acres
located in the Black Warrior Basin area of Alabama. The
March 28th agreement further required the resignation of
three of the Company's directors.
On May 10, 1997, the Company entered into an
agreement to sell approximately 8.5 acres of land on Russell
Road in Las Vegas, Nevada. With the conveyance of this
land the Company reduced its indebtedness by $1,735, 185
on existing loans and also received a six month extension
with an option for an additional six months and other
considerations on the existing loans on the Company's 15
acres of land in Las Vegas.
On June 15, 1996, the Company entered into a Stock
Exchange Agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and
outstanding stock of Auto Express, Inc., a Colorado
Corporation involved in the transportation of automobiles
nationwide. The Company subsequently became aware of
material misrepresentations as well as undisclosed
liabilities made by Auto Express, Inc. In light of the
material nature of these issues, C.E.C. Industries Corp. has
determined that it was in the best interest of the Company
and its shareholders to rescind the transaction.
On June 27, 1996 the Company entered into an
Exchange Agreement with One World Cards, Inc. &
Bruce Perlowin its President for 278 - $10,000.00 pre-paid long
distance calling cards at a rate of
approximately $0.45 per minute or better and an
expiration date of five (5) years from the date of closing
in exchange for 18 original art works by Sky M. Jones.
These paintings have an appraisal value of
$2,779,700.00 and are owned by the Company's wholly
owned subsidiary Mid-Nevada Art.
Also on June 27, 1996 the Company entered
into an Exchange Agreement with One World Cards,
Inc. & Bruce Perlowin its President for 3 - $100,000.00
at a rate of approximately $0.45 per minute or better
with no expiration date and 45 - $10,000.00 pre-paid
long distance calling cards at a rate of approximately
$0.45 per minute or better with an expiration date of
five (5) years from the date of closing in exchange for
12 original art works by Sky M. Jones with appraisal
books and appraisals totaling $750,000.00 owned by the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary Mid-Nevada Art.
Mid-Nevada Art, Inc. exercised its option wherein
Mid-Nevada Art, Inc. returned the pre-paid calling
cards to One World Cards, Inc. and One World Cards,
Inc. returned the 31 original artworks to Mid-Nevada
Art, Inc. The decision for the return of the calling cards
was the result of the failure of One World Cards, Inc. to
fully activate the prepaid calling cards.
On December 6, 1996, the Company signed an
exchange agreement to sell it's interest in 17.44 acres of
vacant land in Las Vegas, Nevada for 165,876 free
trading shares of Synfuel Technologies, (OTC SNFL)
trading at approximately $20.00 per share. On March
31, 1997 Gold Coast Resources assumed the existing
mortgages of approximately $1,800,000.
(b) Information About Industry Segments.
The Company is currently engaged in four main
businesses; real estate investment (Victory Village); carbon
furnace development ("CEI"); mineral rights development
("Atlas Methane" and "Basia Holding") and investments in
art ("Mid-Nevada Art"). Information regarding the
Company's reportable business segments is set forth in Item
1( c) and Note 9 to the Financial Statements. The Company
is not involved in mining operations, and, accordingly, no
revenues are generated therefrom.
( c) Narrative Description of Business.
Victory Village Associates Limited III
320 Unit Multi-Family Project to be built -
Henderson, Nevada. In June, 1995, the Company acquired a
24.5% interest in a 320 unit apartment project generally
known as Victory Village, in exchange for 1,200,000
shares of Rule 144 stock, with a simultaneous two-year
restriction. The project is located in Henderson, Nevada
near the intersection of Lake Mead Blvd. and Boulder
Highway. The City of Henderson issued bonds to facilitate
the financing on the project, with HUD, (Department of
Housing and Urban Development) insuring the
construction and permanent loan in the sum of $16,442,400,
at 6.38% interest, and due in 40 years, which loan was
recorded in June of 1995 against the approximate 17.72
acres. The Majority of the construction on the project has
been completed and certificates of occupancy have been
issued. The company's investment in Victory Village was
collateralized by a pledge of preferred stock owned by the
project manager.
Atlas Methane Gas Interests
The Company owns 100% of 13,500 acres of
leasehold interest located in the Black Warrior Lagoon area
of Alabama, containing methane reserves.
Introduction. Coal deposits in the United States are
widespread, underlying 360,000 square miles in 37 states.
Methane is present in nearly all coal from the shallow
subsurface to depths over 10,000 feet. Coalbed basins are
generally divided into eastern and western types. This
segregation is on the basis of both geography and geology.
The eastern coals are primarily Pennsylvanian Age and
western coals are Cretaceous Age. Much of the drilling for
coalbed gas has been concentrated in the Black Warrior
Basin of North Central Alabama. This is due to several
factors:
The basin's proximity to gas pipelines that deliver to stable
gas markets.
The high BTU values of the gas, from 950-1050.
Drilling depths are shallow from 1,000 to 5,000 feet.
The coals are well understood in terms of their thickness,
rank, and content.
Long term production has been established.
Black Warrior Basin. Coal has been produced
continuously for over 100 years in the Black Warrior Basin.
Although the presence of gas in coalbeds has been
recognized from the beginning, it had been considered only
as a hazard to coal mining. Gas from the field was
originally vented, but as the natural gas prices increased,
the gas was collected and sold.
Market Analysis. The pipeline systems situated
in the Black Warrior Basin, are Alabama Gas Company
(ALAGASCO), Basin Pipeline Corporation, and Southern
Natural Pipeline Company (SONAT), and Associated
natural Gas Inc. (ANGI). The Company does not
contemplate any marketing problems related to coalbed
methane production in the Warrior Basin.
Competition. There are a large number of
companies and individuals engaged in exploration and
development of oil and gas properties. Accordingly, the
Company will encounter strong competition from
independent operators and major oil companies in acquiring
any additional leases suitable for development. Many of the
companies so engaged have financial resources and staffs
considerably larger than those available to the Company.
There are likewise numerous companies and individuals
engaged in the organization and conduct of royalty,
production, and marketing of gas, thus providing a high
degree of competition among companies and individuals in
the development and marketing of gas leasehold interests.
The ability of the Company to market oil and gas
will depend on numerous factors beyond the control of
the Company, the effect of which factors cannot be
accurately predicted or anticipated. Some of these
factors include the availability of other domestic and
foreign production, the marketing of competitive fuels, the
proximity and capacity of pipelines, fluctuations in supply
and demand, the availability of a ready market, the effect
of the federal and state regulation of production, refining,
transportation and sales, and general national and
worldwide economic conditions.
Basia Holding, Inc.
Basia Holdings holds title to 9,000 acres of land
Grundy County, Tennessee, pursuant to a conveyance from
Alpine Development Co., a Florida corporation, known as O
& F Tennessee Land; and is in part of what is locally
referred to as the Southern Field of the Tennessee coalfield.
The Company currently does not have the means,
nor the intention in the near future to attempt to develop
and or mine the coal property. The Company is seeking a
buyer or a joint venture partner for the coal reserves. The
ability of the Company to market the coal will depend on
numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, the
effect of which factors cannot be accurately predicted or
anticipated. Some of these factors include the accessibility
of the material, the availability of other domestic and
foreign production, environmental issues in both the
region where the materials are located and other regions
where competitive materials are located, fluctuations in
supply and demand, the availability of a ready market, the
effect of the federal and state regulation of production,
transportation and sales, and general national and
worldwide economic conditions.
Mid-Nevada Art, Inc.
Mid Nevada Art, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary
of CEC with assets of $1.7 million, which assets are made
up of $1.7 million in appraised artworks by Sky M. Jones, a
noted American artist. Sky Jones is a painter from the
American West, born October 3, 1947 in Salt Lake City,
Utah. He graduated with a bachelor degree in Art from the
University of Utah in 1971. He has written books on Art and
Life. Jones deals in Multiple Imagery, that is, layers upon
layers of 3D forms overlaid and interwoven. Sky Jones
originals have been in the private collections of Queen
Elizabeth, Governor Michael Dukakis, the late Lucille Ball,
and Mohammed Ali to name a few. He has created various
movie posters including Star Trek, the Never Ending Story,
Final Countdown, etc. Limited edition prints and paintings
by Sky Jones have been collected by or displayed in
museums, corporations and galleries world wide. Prior to
1985 he used the name of Michael Whipple.
Custom Environmental International
Custom Environmental International, ("CEI") is
engaged in the business of development and implementation
of a patented carbon reactivation furnace. CEI developed a
cost effective vertical kiln used for the recovery of gold.
Production models were sold throughout the world. CEI has
gained valuable field experience which has lead to improved
models.
Federal and State Regulation. General. The
activities of the Company with respect to methane gas and
coal, are subject to federal and state environmental laws
and regulations which impose limitations on the discharge
of pollutants into the air and water and which also establish
standards for the treatment, storage and disposal of solid
and hazardous waste. Management believes that the
Company is substantially in compliance with such laws
and regulations, and there are no pending proceedings which
question compliance with all applicable environmental,
health and safety.
Although the Company does not consider
current laws and regulations relating to such matters to be
materially burdensome, especially in light of the reserve
status of the Company's involvement as opposed to
operations, there can be no assurance that future
legislative or governmental actions or judicial decisions
will not adversely affect the Company or its ability to retain
the mineral rights set forth herein. The Company is not
aware of any proposed or pending legislative,
governmental or judicial action that would materially
adversely affect the Company's properties.
Methane Extraction. The chief potential for
environmental harm in the extraction of coalbed methane,
the gas trapped in underground coal streams, is the
discharge of salt water into streams. Weekly and monthly
water-quality samples are required to monitor the water
quality during extraction. Currently the Company is not
involved in the extraction of its methane reserves, and
thus faces no immediate environmental challenges.
Executive Offices
C.E.C.'s executive offices are located at 23 Cactus
Garden Drive, F-60, Green Valley, Nevada 89014.

compensation to be paid in cash or stock in the Company for
services rendered: Gerald Levine $8,500 per month; Marie
Levine $8,500 per month; misc. office personnel at varying
rates depending on services needed.

included under Item 1(c), "Narrative Description of
Business", "Operations". During June 1995, the Company
acquired a 24.5% interest in the Victory Village III, Ltd.
partnership utilizing Rule 144 restricted common stock of
the Company valued at $700,000. A $16,442,400 loan was

been obtained.
Basia Holding, Inc. A general discussion of the
Basia Holding are included under Item 1(c),"Narrative
Description of Business", "Operations". Basia Holding
holds title to 9,000 acres of land in Grundy County,
Tennessee known as O & F Tennessee land; and is in part
of what is locally referred to as the Southern Field of the
Tennessee coalfield.
Atlas Methane Gas Interests. A general
discussion of the Atlas Methane holdings are included
under Item 1(c), "Narrative Description of Business",
"Operations". The Company owns 100% of 13,500 acres of
leasehold interest located in the Black Warrior Lagoon area
of Alabama, containing methane gas reserves.
The Black Warrior basin encompasses an area of
about 35,000 square miles in northeastern Mississippi
and Northwestern Alabama. The basin is named for the
Black Warrior River, a prominent navigable river over
most of its length through the area. The Black Warrior
basin straddles the Cumberland Plateau, Appalachian
Valley and Ridge province, and East Gulf Coastal Plain.
Although the basin's exact limits are not firmly established
in the literature, it is structurally bounded on the north by
the Nashville-Cincinnati arch and on the southeast by the
Appalachian fold and thrust belt. The basin is largely
covered by Cretaceous and younger sediments of the Gulf
Coastal Plain and Mississippi Embayment.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Fernando Aldecoa, et. al. v. Softpoint, Inc., United
States District Court, Southern District of California, Case
Number 951654H(LSP) was instituted in October, 1995.
The Principal parties included Softpoint, Inc., Robert Cosby,
C.E.C. Industries, Inc., George Matthews, Ron Robinson,
Ron Stoecklein, and Don Stocklein. The action pertains the
allegations made by certain Softpoint shareholders that the
defendants materially misrepresented, or allowed certain
misrepresentations to occur, which were relied upon by the
plaintiffs in purchasing their stock in Softpoint. The only
relationship between the plaintiffs and the Company is that
the Company was attempting a merger with Softpoint,
which merger was not completed. Further, one of the past
directors of the Company was a past president of Softpoint,
Inc.; however the dual relationship existed after the merger
termination. The plaintiffs are seeking an unknown damage,
which must be established upon determining liability, if any.
Because the Company and its outside counsel, are of the
opinion that the Company has no exposure in the litigation,
the Company is not aware of any governmental authority
which has interest in the matter from the standpoint of the
Company. The Company, through its independent counsel
has filed a motion to have the case dismissed against the
Company, which motion will be heard by the Federal Court
on September 22, 1997.
Medera Component Systems, Inc. v. Prime
Construction, Inc. et. al., Nevada Federal District Court
Case Number 596-01105 was instituted on November 27,
1996. The principal parties include Moonridge
Development Corp., as well as C.E.C. Industries Corp. The
action alleges that the Company entered into an indemnity
agreement with Medera Component Systems, in relation to
the use of Medera's roof trusses on the Victory Village
project. The Company has filed a cross complaint alleging
that no contract was entered into nor did the Company ever
elicit any indemnity agreement. The Company is strongly
responding to the litigation and believes that a judgment will
be rendered in their favor. The case is in the discovery
stage. A provision in the agreement wherein the Company
invested in the Victory Village project, contained an
indemnification in favor of the Company collateralized by
preferred stock. In the event of a loss, the Company is in a
position of offset against the value of the preferred stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and the notes thereto.
Overview
The company has continued to go through major
transitions pertaining to direction and continued operations.
During fiscal 1997, the Company earned revenues primarily
through the sales of its commercial real
estate properties with other income from royalty and sales of
services from Mid-Nevada Art..
Moonridge Development Corp. The Company
divested itself of all interest to Moonridge Development
Corp. in June of 1996 regaining all interest in properties
located in Las Vegas, Nevada, (approximately 25 acres of
commercial real estate which was sold in the second and
third quarters of 1996) and 24.5% interest in Victory
Village Associates Limited III (320 unit apartment project in
Henderson, Nevada, which is completed and has received
certificates of occupancy.
On May 10, 1996, the Company entered into an
agreement to sell approximately 8.5 acres of land on Russell
Road in Las Vegas, Nevada. With the conveyance of this
land the company reduced its indebtedness by
$1,735,185 on existing loans and also received a six month
extension with an option for an additional six months and
other consideration on the existing loans on the Company's
15 acres of land in Las Vegas, which was subsequently sold.
On December 6, 1996, the company signed an
exchange agreement to sell it's interest in 15 and 2.2 acres of
vacant land in Las Vegas, Nevada for 165,876 free trading
shares of Synfuel Technologies, (OTC SNFL) trading at
approximately $20.00 per share on March 31, 1997 The
existing mortgage on the property of approximately
$1,800,000 was assumed by the buyer.
CEI. The Company, through its subsidiary, CEI,
continued to incur expenses related to the carbon
reactivation furnace. The spin off that was announced in
October of 1995 was never completed and the Board of
Directors decided that the spinoff of CEI was not in the best
interest of the Company or it's shareholders and the
Company terminated all spin off plans at this time.
Basia Holdings, Inc. The Company holds title to
approximately 9,000 of land in Tennessee through its wholly
owned subsidiary, Basia Holdings, and 13,500 acres of
methane gas leases in Alabama. The Company has not
developed these assets at this time.
Mid-Nevada Art, Inc. continues to generate revenues
from its broadcasting services. The company also entered
into an Exchange Agreement with One World Cards, Inc.
for the purchase of 31 art works by Sky M. Jones for
approximately $3.5 Million in pre-paid calling cards at a
rate of $.45 per minute.. Mid-Nevada Art exercised its
option wherein Mid-Nevada Art returned the pre-paid
calling cards to One Wold Cards, Inc. and One World Cards,
Inc. returned the art works to Mid-Nevada Art, Inc. The
decision for the return of the calling cards was the result of
the failure of One World Cards, Inc. to fully activate all of
the prepaid calling cards.

for purposes of constructing the mini-warehouse project.
Fiscal 1995. During fiscal 1995, the Company drew

Bank of America, for the construction of its mini-storage
facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. The collateral for the Bank

which the Company is building its mini-storage facility.
These loans were both retired in Fiscal 1996-1997. (See
Above.)

Revenues. The Company's revenues increased
365% from $1,276,068 in 1996 to $5,937,739 in 1997.
Revenue increases were attributable primarily to
increases in sales of development property in the

from $75,668 to $1,414.

Company increased 104% from $255,156 in 1995 to
$354,923 in 1996, an increase of $99,767. The substantial

$46,198 in 1995 to an income of $91,812. The expense was
the result of the further write down of the investment in
Logos International, Inc. in 1995. The income for 1996 was
the result of a gain on the sale of oil and gas interests.
Loss from Discontinued Operations. The Company
discontinued the operations of two subsidiaries during the
year 1996, Islet Transplant Technology and Microsphere
Technology. The loss was the result of the subsidiaries
being unable to develop the acquired technology as a result
of the recision of a contract with Bio-Sphere Technology (an
unaffiliated entity) that was entered into for the development
of the technology. The Company concluded that the
continued investment in the technology was not an
appropriate means of diversifying the Company's operations
and required more cash to finance its operations than
appeared prudent. Accordingly, the Company ceased the
pursuit of its medical technology investments. This resulted
in charges to operations of $186,043 for Islet Transplant
Technology and $82,905 for Microsphere Technology.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
C.E.C. Industries Corp.
Las Vegas, Nevada
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of C.E.C. Industries Corp. and
Subsidiaries (the Company), as of March 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995 and the related consolidated statements
of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the years then ended. These consolidated 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 consolidated 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 of the financial statements provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company at March 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

of the undeveloped parcels land prior to 1996, no
retroactive restatement is necessary.

SECURITIES (CONTINUED)
On October 28, 1991, C.E.C. entered into an Agreement
to Purchase with Oxford House, Inc., a Utah
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Associated Trades, Inc., by which C.E.C. sold all of its
right, title, and interest in the real property and building
in which C.E.C.'s offices were located, for a total
purchase price of $786,478. The purchase price by
Oxford House, Inc. included its assumption of the
outstanding mortgage of the property in the amount of
$719,229 and 76,857 shares of the common stock of
ATI, valued by C.E.C. at$67,250. The ATI stock was
subsequently exchanged for Logos stock.
In connection with the Agreement, C.E.C. and ATI
entered into an Exchange Agreement by which the
companies exchanged 500,000 shares of one another's
common stock. C.E.C. hasvalued the shares of
common stock received in the transaction at $.875 per
share (the bid price of C.E.C.'s common stock on the
date of the exchange), for a total value of $437,500.
The ATI stock was subsequently exchanged for Logos
stock.
Pursuant to a Reorganization Agreement dated as of
December 1, 1991, C.E.C. sold 18,000,000 shares of its
subsidiary's common stock, GLI Industries, Inc., to
ATI. This represented 90% of the total outstanding
common stock of GLI. In return C.E.C. received
200,000 shares of the common stock of ATI, and was
entitled to a royalty on gross sales of GLI products of
two and one-half percent (2 1/2%). The ATI stock was
subsequentlyexchanged for Logos stock.
Logos was incorporated November 6, 1981, under the
laws of the State of Nevada and acquired several
companies in printing and publishing, arts and framing,
automotive and towing services, aerospace, and real
estate. The market price of Logos stock dropped from a
bid of $10.00 per share at September 18, 1992 and
$5.00 bid per share at June 1, 1993, to $.125 per share
at March 31, 1994 and $.25 at March 31, 1995.
Management believes the drop in value is permanent
and is due to the inability of Logos' management to
supply adequate funding or provide management of its
newly acquired companies. Management has thereby
elected to write off its investment in Logos to its current
market value. The transaction resulted in a loss of
$625,960 in 1994, and a further loss of $46,305 in
1995. The remainder of 10,420 shares is $2,605.
During the fiscal year 1996 all the remaining shares
were sold for $34,996.
