PART I
Item 1. Business
A. General
The Registrant, Canal Capital Corporation ("Canal" or the "Company"),
incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1964, commenced business operations
through a predecessor in 1936.
Canal is engaged in three distinct businesses -- the management and further
development of its agribusiness related real estate properties, stockyard
operations and art operations.
Real Estate Operations - Canal's real estate properties located in six
Midwest states are primarily associated with its current and former agribusiness
related operations. Each property is adjacent to a stockyards operation (three
of which are operated by the company) and consist, for the most part, of an
Exchange Building (commercial office space), land and structures leased to third
parties (meat packing facilities, rail car repair shops, truck stops, lumber
yards and various other commercial and retail businesses) as well as vacant land
available for development or resale. Its principal real estate operating
revenues are derived from rental income from its Exchange Buildings, lease
income from land and structures leased to various commercial and retail
enterprises and proceeds from the sale of real estate properties. Canal has
continued its program of development or sale of what was excess stockyard
property. See "Real Estate Operations".
Stockyard Operations - As a result of an August 1, 1999 asset purchase
agreement, Canal now operates three central public stockyards located in Sioux
City, Iowa, St. Joseph, Missouri and Sioux Falls, South Dakota (collectively the
"Stockyards"). Public stockyards act much like a securities exchange, providing
markets for all categories of livestock and fulfilling the economic functions of
assembly, grading, and price discovery. The Company's principal stockyard
revenues are derived from a per head charge ("yardage charge") imposed on all
livestock and the sale of feed and bedding. See "Stockyard Operations".
Art Operations - Canal's art dealing operations consist primarily of
inventories held for resale of antiquities primarily from ancient Mediterranean
cultures and contemporary art primarily of one artist. See "Art Operations".

B. Factors That May Affect Future Results
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Company's actual results of operations and future financial condition may
differ materially from those expressed in any such forward-looking statements as
a result of many factors that may be beyond the Company's control. Such factors
include, without limitation: overall economic conditions; competition for
tenants in the agribusiness; the ability of the Company's tenants to compete in
their respective businesses; the effect of fluctuations in supply, demand,
international monetary conditions and inflation on the Company's art operations;
the effects of forgery and counterfeiting on the Company's art operations;
securities risks associated with collections of antiquities and art; and the
effect of fluctuations in interest rates and inflation on the Company's
indebtedness. These risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the
Company to control, and in many cases, the Company cannot predict the risks and
uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from
those indicated by the forward-looking statements. When used in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K, the words "believes," "estimates," "plans," "expects," and
"anticipates" and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its
management are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
C. Real Estate Operations
General
Real estate operations, which relate primarily to Canal's current and
former agribusiness operations, resulted in operating income of $0.5 million,
while contributing $1.7 million to Canal's revenues for fiscal 2000. Canal is
involved in the management, development or sale of its agribusiness related real
estate properties at its current and former stockyard locations.
During fiscal 2000, Canal sold approximately 75 acres of land for $0.7
million generating operating income of $0.3 million. Included in the 2000 sales
was a 45 acre parcel of land located in South St. Paul, Minnesota which was sold
to the City of South St. Paul, Minnesota and a 30 acre parcel of land located in
St. Joseph, Missouri which was sold to a storage facility operator.
During fiscal 2000, Canal experienced moderate success in increasing the
occupancy rate in its South St. Paul, Minnesota Exchange Building. The occupancy
of this building increased to 60% from 50% during the year. Canal will continue
to aggressively pursue additional tenants for this building in fiscal 2001. In
fiscal 1999 Canal changed building managers for this property and has made a
number of improvements to the building which management believes has made this
building more competitive in the South St. Paul market.
2
As of October 31, 2000, there are approximately 184 acres of undeveloped
land owned by Canal adjacent to its current and former stockyards. Canal is
continuing the program, which it started several years ago, to develop or sell
this property.
Former Agribusiness Operations
In connection with the 1989 sale of its stockyard operations, Canal entered
into a master lease (the "Lease") with the purchaser covering approximately 139
acres of land and certain facilities used by the stockyard operations. The Lease
was a 10 year lease, renewable at the purchaser's option for an additional ten
year period, with annual rentals of $750,000 per year for the first year
escalating to $1.0 million per year for the fourth through the tenth years and
$1.0 million per year adjusted for CPI increases thereafter. In addition, Canal
retained the right to receive income from certain volume based rental income
leases with two meat packing companies located near the stockyards.
As discussed above, as part of the 1989 agreement Canal retained the right
to receive income from certain volume based rental income leases with two meat
packing companies located near the stockyards in Sioux City, Iowa and Fargo,
North Dakota. The Sioux City, Iowa lease was terminated and the property sold to
the meat packer in fiscal 1996. In March 1999 Canal entered into a Settlement
Agreement and Mutual Release (the "Settlement") with Federal Beef Processors,
Inc. ("Federal") the operator of the meat packing plant in Fargo, North Dakota.
Under the terms of the Settlement the packing plant lease was terminated, all
litigation between the parties was dismissed with prejudice and fee title to the
improvements on the leased property reverted to Canal.
In September, 1998 Canal sold a 60 acre parcel of land to the City of
Omaha, Nebraska. This sale included the 17 acres of land leased to the
stockyards operator. In April 1999, Canal sold to the stockyard operator the 31
acres located in South St. Paul, Minnesota which was subject to the Lease.
Finally, in August 1999 Canal bought the operating assets of the remaining three
stockyards subject to the Lease from the operator. All the obligations of the
lessor under the Lease terminated as of October 31, 1999.
Risk
Real estate activities in general may involve various degrees of risk, such
as competition for tenants, general market conditions and interest rates.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that Canal will be successful in the
development, lease or sale of its agribusiness related real estate properties.
3
Competition
Canal competes in the area of agribusiness related real estate development
with other regional developers, some of which are substantially larger and have
significantly greater financial resources than Canal. To a certain extent,
Canal's agribusiness revenues are dependent on the ability of the stockyard
operations purchaser and the various meat packers with whom Canal has yardage
agreements to successfully compete in their respective businesses.
D. Stockyard Operations
General
On August 1, 1999, Canal purchased the operating assets of three public
stockyards (formerly subject to the Master Lease between the Company and United
Market Services - See "Former Agribusiness Operations") located in Sioux City
Iowa, St. Joseph, Missouri and Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Public stockyards act much like a securities exchange, providing markets
for all categories of livestock and fulfilling the economic functions of
assembly, grading, and price discovery. The livestock handled by the Company's
stockyards include cattle, hogs, and sheep. Cattle and hogs may come through the
stockyard facilities at two different stages, either as feeder livestock or
slaughter livestock. The Company's stockyards provide all services and
facilities required to operate an independent market for the sale of livestock,
including veterinary facilities, auction arenas, auctioneers, weigh masters and
scales, feed and bedding, and security personnel. In addition, the stockyards
provide other services including pure bred and other specialty sales for
producer organizations. The Company promotes its stockyard business through
public relations efforts, advertising, and personal solicitation of producers.
Actual marketing transactions at a stockyard are managed for livestock
producers by market agencies and independent commission sales people to which
the livestock are consigned for sale. These market agencies (some of which are
owned and operated by the Company) and independent sales people receive
commissions from the seller upon settlement of a transaction and the stockyard
receives a yardage fee on all livestock using the facility which is paid within
twenty-four hours of the sale. Yardage fees vary depending upon the type of
animal, the extent of services provided by the stockyard, and local competition.
Yardage revenues are not directly dependent upon market prices, but rather are a
function of the volume of livestock handled. In general, stockyard livestock
volume is dependent upon conditions affecting livestock production and upon the
market agencies and independent commission sales people which operate at the
stockyards. Stockyard operations are seasonal, with greater volume generally
experienced during the first and fourth quarters of each fiscal year, during
which periods livestock is generally brought to market.
4
As discussed above, virtually all of the volume at Canal's Sioux Falls
stockyards is handled through market agencies and independent commission sales
people, while the St. Joseph and Sioux City stockyards have solicitation
operations of their own which accounts for approximately 50% and 10% of their
livestock volume annually, respectively.
Canal intends to continue its soliciting efforts at its St. Joseph and
Sioux City stockyards in fiscal 2001. Further, Canal tries to balance its
dependence on market agencies and independent commission sales people in various
ways, including: developing solicitation operations of its own; direct public
relations; advertising and personal solicitation of producers on behalf of the
stockyards; providing additional services at the stockyards to attract sellers
and buyers; and providing incentives to market agencies and independent
commission sales people for increased business.
Stockyard operations resulted in operating income of approximately $0.5
million while contributing approximately $4.1 million to Canal's revenues for
fiscal 2000.
Risk
Stockyard activities in general may involve various degrees of risk, such
as competition from other regional stockyards and sale barns, general market
conditions and to a lesser extent interest rates.
Competition
Canal competes in the area of public stockyards with other regional public
stockyards and sale barns, some of which are substantially larger and have
greater financial resources than Canal. To a certain extent, Canal's stockyard
revenues are dependent on the ability of the market agencies and independent
commission sales people at each of Canal's stockyard locations to compete within
the region.
E. Art Operations
General
Canal established its art operations in October 1988 by acquiring a
significant inventory for resale of antiquities primarily from the ancient
Mediterranean cultures. In November 1989, Canal expanded its art operations by
entering into a cost and revenue sharing agreement with a New York City gallery
for the exclusive representation of Jules Olitski, a world renowned artist of
contemporary paintings. As part of this agreement Canal purchased a number of
Olitski paintings which it holds for resale with a book value of approximately
$624,000 at October 31, 2000. The representation agreement expired December 1,
1994 and Canal now operates independently in the marketing of its contemporary
art inventory.
5
Due to general economic conditions and the softness of the art markets,
Canal has not purchased inventory in several years. However, Canal continues its
marketing efforts to sell its existing art inventory through various consignment
agreements and at public auctions. Antiquities and contemporary art represented
45% ($542,758) and 55% ($653,899) and 44% ($542,758) and 56% ($692,149) of total
art inventory at October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Canal sells its art primarily through two sources, in galleries and at art
auctions. In the case of sales in galleries, the Company has consignment
arrangements with various art galleries in the United States. In these
arrangements Canal consigns its pieces at specific prices to the gallery. In the
case of auctions, the Company primarily consigns its art pieces to the two
largest auction houses for their spring and fall art auctions. The Company
assigns a minimum acceptable price on the pieces consigned. The auction house
negotiates a commission on the sale of major pieces. The pieces can be withdrawn
at any time before or during the auction. There are no significant differences
between the prices obtained in galleries and those obtained at auction.
Art operations resulted in an operating loss of approximately $16,000 while
contributing approximately $52,000 to Canal's revenues for fiscal 2000.
Risk
Dealing in art in general involves various degrees of risk. There can be no
assurance that the operations will be profitable. The success of a program of
this nature is dependent at least in part, on general economic conditions,
including supply, demand, international monetary conditions and inflation. There
can be no assurance that Canal will be able to sell its art inventory at a price
greater than or equal to its acquisition costs or be able to turn over its art
inventory at a desirable rate. In addition, forgery and counterfeiting are risks
inherent in the art industry. However, Canal and its associates, through their
experience and certain precautionary measures taken in the purchasing process,
are confident that this risk has been minimized. Moreover, there are security
risks associated with collections of antiquities and art, including problems of
security in their storage, transportation and exhibition. Canal has procured
insurance to cover such risks.
Competition
Canal competes in its art operations with investment groups and other
dealers, some of whom are substantially larger and have greater financial
resources and staff than Canal. There may be a number of institutions and
private collectors and dealers who may attempt to acquire the same pieces of art
at the same time as Canal, particularly at auction. Similarly, there may be a
number of dealers offering similar pieces of art, thereby exerting a downward
pressure on prices.
6
F. Investments Available for Sale
Canal has an investment in a company in which it, together with other
affiliated entities, comprise a reporting group for regulatory purposes. It is
important to note that it is the group (as defined) that can exercise influence
over this company, not Canal. Accordingly, this investment does not qualify for
consolidation as a method of reporting. Certain of Canal's officers and
directors also serve as officer and/or directors of this company. This
investment (in which Canal's ownership interest is approximately 2%) is carried
at market value and any unrealized gains or losses are reflected in
Stockholders' Equity. The realized gains or losses, if any, are recognized in
operating results.
Canal recognized unrealized losses on investments of $zero, $86,000 and
$873,000 for the years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
which are shown as a separate component of Stockholders' Equity. On May 3, 2000
the company Canal has invested in filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code. At October 31, 2000, Canal determined that the decline in
market value of its investment in this company was permanent, and accordingly,
recognized a realized loss on investments in marketable securities of $466,917
in fiscal 2000. In accordance with Canal's accounting policies, the fiscal 2000
realized loss of $466,917 resulted in a current year charge to Stockholders'
Equity of $123,192 because the balance of $343,725 had been charged directly to
Stockholders' Equity in prior years.
G. Employees
At December 31, 2000, Canal had approximately 100 employees.

ITEM 2. Properties
Canal's real estate properties located in six Midwest states are primarily
associated with its current and former agribusiness related operations. Each
property is adjacent to a stockyard operation (three of which are once again
operated by the company) and consist, for the most part, of an Exchange Building
(commercial office space), land and structures leased to third parties (meat
packing facilities, rail car repair shops, truck stops, lumber yards and various
other commercial and retail businesses) as well as vacant land available for
development or resale. As landlord, Canal's management responsibilities include
leasing, billing, repairs and maintenance and overseeing the day to day
operations of its properties. Canal's properties at October 31, 2000 include:

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings
Canal and its subsidiaries are from time to time involved in litigation
incidental to their normal business activities, none of which, in the opinion of
management, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
condition and operations of the Company. Canal or its subsidiaries are party to
the following litigation:
Canal Capital Corporation v. Valley Pride Pack, Inc.
Canal commenced an action in U.S. District Court in Minnesota on September
23, 1997, as the assignee of United Market Services Company, against Valley
Pride Pack, Inc. (formerly Pine Valley Meats, Inc. and referred to herein as
"Pine Valley") to recover unpaid livestock fees and charges (estimated to be as
much as $1,000,000) due from Pine Valley under a 1936 Agreement between the
predecessors of Pine Valley and Canal. Upon Pine Valley's motion, the Court
entered an order dated February 23, 1998 granting summary judgment and
dismissing Canal's complaint. Canal appealed the dismissal to the U.S. District
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, which reversed the dismissal and
reinstated Canal's complaint.
On April 9, 1999, Pine Valley served an answer and counterclaim in which it
denied any liability for livestock fees and alleged that the 1936 Agreement
violates Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Minnesota Antitrust Law.
Pine Valley alleges any livestock fee obligation under the 1936 Agreement
constitutes an illegal tying arrangement whereby Canal's predecessor attempted
to tie the purchase of land for the operation of the meat packing plant to the
purchase of cattle at the stockyards by assessing yardage fees on all cattle
purchased for slaughter at the packing plant even if the stockyards provides no
services with respect to the cattle. Pine Valley seeks as relief a declaratory
judgment that the 1936 Agreement is unenforceable, an injunction preventing
Canal from enforcing the fee provisions of the 1936 Agreement, and treble
damages for the alleged violation by Canal and its predecessor of the federal
and state antitrust laws, together with attorneys' fees. Pine Valley has not
specified a dollar amount of the alleged antitrust damages which it has stated
is the amount paid by Pine Valley in livestock fees.
On December 20, 2000, the U.S. District Court in Minnesota ruled in Canal's
favor granting its motion for summary judgment, thereby establishing Pine
Valley's liability to Canal for unpaid livestock fees. Additionally, the court
denied all of Pine Valley's assorted defenses and counter claims. This matter
will now be set for trial to determine the amount of damages due Canal from Pine
Valley.

ITEM 6. Selected Financial Data (continued..)
NOTES:
(1) The revenue decrease was due primarily to a $4.1 million decrease in sales
of real estate coupled with the elimination of $0.6 million ground lease
income, which decreases were offset to a certain extent by a $3.1 million
increase in revenues from stockyard operations (represents a full year
operation in fiscal 2000 as compared to three months in fiscal 1999).
(2) The revenue increase was due primarily to a $3.4 million increase in sales
of real estate coupled with the $1 million of revenue from the new
stockyard operations.
(3) The revenue decrease was due primarily to a $1.1 million decrease in sales
of real estate.
(4) The revenue decrease was due primarily to a $2.7 million decrease in sales
of real estate.
(5) The revenue increase was due primarily to a $4.4 million increase in sales
of real estate which was attributable to the Sioux City, Iowa lease
termination and property sale.
(6) Includes a $3.8 million gain on the sale of real estate offset by a $1.7
million loss from art operations which included a $1.5 million increase in
the art inventory valuation allowance.
(7) Weighted average number of diluted shares have been calculated to give
effect to certain convertible notes issued in March 1994.
(8) For discussion of material uncertainties and commitments, see Notes 12 and
17 to the Consolidated Financial Statement.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Results of Operations - General
While the Company is currently operating as a going concern, certain
significant factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations in eight of the last ten years and is involved in litigation with a
meat packer located in South St. Paul, Minnesota. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the resolution of these
uncertainties (See Notes 1 and 17). Additionally, the accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as
a going concern.
Canal recognized a net loss of $0.9 million for 2000 as compared to the
1999 net income of $1.3 million and the 1998 net loss of $1.4 million. After
recognition of preferred stock dividend payments (paid in additional shares of
preferred stock for each of fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998) of $266,000 in 2000,
$235,000 in 1999 and $200,000 in 1998, the results attributable to common
stockholders were a net loss of $1.3 million in 2000, net income of $1.1 million
in 1999 and a net loss of $1.6 million in 1998. Canal's 2000 net loss of $0.9
million is due primarily to a $0.5 million realized loss on investments and
marketable securities (reflecting a permanent diminution in the investments
value) combined with a significant decrease in gains on real estate sales ($2.1
million) in the current year. These decreases were offset to a certain extent by
a $0.4 million increase in income from stockyard operations (reflecting a full
years operation in fiscal 2000 as compared to three months in fiscal 1999) and
recognition of a $0.1 million extraordinary gain on early retirement of debt.
Canal's 1999 net income of $1.3 million is due primarily to a $1.9 million
increase in its gain on sales of real estate (due to a $3.4 million increase in
real estate sales) in the current year. This was offset to a certain extent by a
$0.8 million decrease in Canal's real estate operations rental income, which was
the result of Canal's sale of certain income producing property including the
Omaha, Nebraska property in September 1998 and the 31 acres leased for stockyard
operations located in South St. Paul, Minnesota in April 1999.
Canal's revenues from continuing operations consist of revenues from its
real estate operations, stockyard operations (twelve months in fiscal 2000,
three months in fiscal 1999 and zero months in fiscal 1998) and art operations.
Due to general economic conditions and more specifically a depressed national
art market, Canal's aggregate revenues from art sales and the prices at which
sales were made have significantly declined in recent years. Revenues in 2000
decreased by $1.8 million to $5.8 million as compared with 1999 revenues which
had increased by $3.1 million to $7.6 million from 1998 revenues of $4.5
million. As discussed above, the fiscal
14
2000 decrease is due primarily to the $4.1 million decrease in sales of real
estate coupled with the elimination of the ground lease and volume based rental
incomes of $0.6 million, which were offset to a certain extent by a $3.1 million
increase in revenue from stockyard operations (reflecting a full year's
operation in fiscal 2000 as compared to three months of operations in fiscal
1999). The fiscal 1999 increase was due primarily to the $3.4 million increase
in sales of real estate; the inclusion (fiscal 1999 only) of revenues from
Canal's newly acquired stockyard operations of $1.0 million, which were offset
by a $0.8 million decrease in rental income from real estate operations.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
While the Company is currently operating as a going concern, certain
significant factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations in eight of the last ten years and is involved in litigation with a
meat packer located in South St. Paul, Minnesota. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the resolution of these
uncertainties (See Notes 1 and 17). Additionally, the accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as
a going concern.
On January 8, 1998, the Company issued $3,700,000 of variable rate mortgage
notes due May 15, 2001. The purchasers of these notes included certain entities
controlled by the Company's Chairman, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
members of their families. The notes carried interest at the highest of four
variable rates, determined on a quarterly basis. These notes, among other
things, prohibit Canal from becoming an investment company as defined by the
Investment Company Act of 1940; require Canal to maintain minimum net worth;
restrict Canal's ability to pay cash dividends or repurchase stock; require
principal prepayments to be made only out of the proceeds from the sale of
certain assets, and required the accrual of additional interest (to be paid at
maturity) of approximately three percent per annum.
On July 29, 1999 the above notes were amended to extend the maturity date
to May 15, 2003; to fix the interest rate at 10% per annum; to agree that the
additional interest due to the holders of the notes shall become current and be
treated as principal due under the notes; and to have certain of the holders
loan the Company $525,000 in additional financing, the proceeds of which was
used to repay in full certain of the holders of the notes. As a result, the
notes are now held in total by the Company's Chief Executive Officer and members
of his family.
15
On January 10, 2000, the above notes were further amended to have the
noteholders loan the Company $1,725,000 in additional financing, the proceeds of
which was used to repay in full all of the Company's outstanding non related
party long-term debt. As of October 31, 2000, the balance due under these notes
was $2,522,000, all of which is classified as long-term debt-related party.
Cash and cash equivalents of $87,000 at October 31, 2000 decreased $329,000
or 79.0% from $416,000 at October 31, 1999. Net cash used by operations in
fiscal 2000 was $0.7 million. Substantially all of the 2000 net proceeds from
the sale of real estate of $0.7 million and the proceeds from the sale of art of
$0.1 million less the cash used in operations was used to reduce outstanding
debt and accrued expenses.
During 2000 Canal reduced its variable rate mortgage notes by $0.1 million
and other long-term debt by $0.1 million for a net 2000 debt reduction of $0.2
million.
At October 31, 2000 the Company's current liabilities exceed current assets
by $0.6 million (which was an increase of $0.9 million) as compared to October
31, 1999 when the Company's current liabilities exceeded current assets by $0.3
million, which represented a decrease of $0.7 million from 1998. The fiscal 2000
change in the Company's liquidity is due primarily to the significant decrease
in real estate sales experienced during the year. The only required principal
repayments under Canal's debt agreements for fiscal 2001 will be from the
proceeds (if any) of the sale of certain assets.
Canal continues to closely monitor and reduce where possible its operating
expenses and plans to continue to reduce the level of its art inventories to
enhance current cash flows. Management believes that its income from operations
combined with its cost cutting program and planned reduction of its art
inventory will enable it to finance its current business activities. There can,
however, be no assurance that Canal will be able to effectuate its planned art
inventory reductions or that its income from operations combined with its cost
cutting program in itself will be sufficient to fund operating cash
requirements.
2000 COMPARED TO 1999
Real Estate Revenues
Real estate revenues for 2000 of $1.7 million accounted for 28.7% of the
2000 revenues as compared to revenues of $6.4 million or 84.9% for 1999. Real
estate revenues are comprised of rental income from Exchange Building
(commercial office space) rentals and other lease income from the rental of
vacant land and certain structures (58.7% and 15.8%), Ground lease income (0.0%
and 9.2%), volume based rental income (0.0% and 0.3%) and sale of real
16
estate and other income (41.3% and 74.7%) for 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
2000 decrease is due primarily to the $4.1 million decrease in sales of real
estate, combined with decreases in ground lease ($0.6) and volume based
($0.1)rental income. The decrease in ground lease income of $0.6 million is due
to Canal's August 1, 1999 purchase of the stockyard assets in Sioux City, Iowa;
St. Joseph, Missouri and Sioux Falls, South Dakota, thereby terminating the
ground lease. The decrease in volume based rental income of $0.1 million is due
to the permanent closing of the packing plant in West Fargo, North Dakota by its
operator in January, 1999. The percentage variations in the year to year
comparisons are due primarily to the significant decrease in real estate sales
for fiscal 2000.
Real Estate Expenses
Real estate expenses for 2000 of $1.2 million decreased by $2.3 million
(66.7%) from $3.5 million in 1999. Real estate expenses are comprised of labor,
operating and maintenance (36.6% and 14.3%), depreciation and amortization (9.4%
and 4.4%), taxes other than income taxes (11.8% and 9.0%), cost of real estate
sold (34.8% and 69.9%),and general and administrative and other expenses (7.4%
and 2.4%) for 2000 and 1999, respectively. The 2000 decrease in real estate
expenses is due primarily to the $2.0 million decrease in cost of real estate
sold in fiscal 2000. The percentage variations in year to year comparisons is
also due primarily to the decrease in the cost of real estate sold in fiscal
2000.
Art Operations
Management estimates it may take approximately five years to dispose of its
current art inventory. The Company's ability to dispose of its art inventory is
dependent at least in part, on general economic conditions, including supply,
demand, international monetary conditions and inflation. Additionally, the art
market itself is a very competitive market. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that Canal will be successful in disposing of its art inventory within
the time frame discussed above.
Canal has its art inventory appraised by independent appraisers annually.
The 2000 appraisal covered approximately 57% of the inventory value. The
appraised values estimate the current market value of each piece giving
consideration to Canal's practices of engaging in consignment, private and
public auction sales. The net realizable value of the remaining 43% of the
inventory was estimated by management based in part on the Company's history of
losses sustained on art sales in the current and previous years and in part on
the results of the independent appraisals done. In fiscal 2000 Canal applied
against sales $50,750 of the valuation allowance against its art inventory,
thereby, decreasing the total valuation allowance to $2,727,950 as of October
31, 2000 as compared to $2,778,700 and $3,400,000 at October 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
17
The valuation allowance represents management's best estimate of the loss
that will be incurred by the Company in the normal course of business. The
estimate is predicated on past history and the information that was available at
the time that the financial statements were prepared. The provision contemplates
the loss that could result if the level of sale anticipated was achieved.
The nature of art makes it difficult to determine a replacement value. The
most compelling evidence of a value in most cases is an independent appraisal.
The price at which pieces are consigned is usually in line with appraisals and
above the cost of the piece. The amount classified as current represents
management's best estimate of the minimum amount of inventory that will be sold
in this market. Management believes that the provision discussed above has
effectively reduced inventory to its estimated net realizable value. The Company
will continually monitor the market for its art inventory and will make
adjustments to the carrying value of its art inventory as such adjustments
become necessary.
The Company's plan to sell inventory at auction is contemplated in the
normal course of business. Auction in this context is one of the usual channels
used for disposal of its art inventory. The proceeds from these sales are used
to reduce the Company's outstanding debt and finance current operations. If
these sales are not made the Company has alternate means of raising cash such as
sales of real estate, raising of new capital and further restructuring of debt.
Some of these measures were successfully implemented in fiscal 2000.
Art Revenues
Art revenues for 2000 of $52,000 decreased $134,000 or 72.4% from $186,000
in 1999. Art revenues are comprised of proceeds from the sale of antiquities and
contemporary art (100.0% and 100.0%) and commission income on sale of art owned
by third parties (0.0% and 0.0%) for 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company's
art inventory was reduced through sales by $0.1 million and $0.8 in fiscal years
2000 and 1999, respectively.
Art Expenses
Art expenses for 2000 of $0.1 million decreased by $0.2 million (74.4%)
from $0.3 million in 1999. Art expenses (excluding valuation allowances)
consisted of the cost of art sold (75.5% and 95.1%) and selling, general and
administrative expenses (24.5% and 4.9%) for 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Included in art expenses is a $0.1 million and a $0.6 million reduction in the
valuation allowance against the Company's art inventory (see Note 9 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements) for fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively.
18
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for 2000 of $1.3 million increased
slightly (2.7%) from $1.3 million in 1999. The major components of general and
administrative expenses are officers salaries (34.5% and 33.6%), rent (6.8% and
8.2%), legal and professional fees (9.4% and 3.4%), insurance (15.2% and 10.6%)
and office salaries (9.2% and 8.7%) for 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
percentage increase in legal and professional fees is due to a sharp increase in
legal fees associated with the Pine Valley lawsuit. The percentage increase in
insurance reflects a combination of increased coverage and increases in premiums
charged. The percentage increases in officers salaries and office salaries
reflects salary increases given in fiscal 2000.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income of $140,000 for 2000 decreased $10,000 (7.1%)
from $150,000 in fiscal 1999. Interest and other income amounts are comprised
primarily of dividend and interest income.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for 2000 of $0.3 million decreased by $0.2 million (44.8%)
from $0.5 million in 1999. The 2000 decrease is due primarily to the aggregate
reduction in the outstanding debt. Interest rates on Canal's variable rate
mortgage notes averaged 10.00% in 2000 as compared to averages of 11.00% and
12.00% in fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively. At October 31, 2000 the
outstanding balance of these notes was $2,522,000.
Realized Loss on Investments
At October 31, 2000, Canal determined that the decline in the market value
of its investments available for sale was permanent, and accordingly, recognized
a realized loss of approximately $467,000 in fiscal 2000. There were no such
realized losses in fiscal 1999. In accordance with Canal's accounting policies,
the fiscal 2000 realized loss of $466,917 resulted in a current year charge to
Stockholders' Equity of $123,192 because the balance of $343,725 had been
charged directly to equity in prior years.
Other Expense
Other expense of $179,000 for 2000 increased $40,000 (29.2)from $139,000 in
fiscal 1999.
19
1999 COMPARED TO 1998
Real Estate Revenues
Real estate revenues for 1999 of $6.4 million accounted for 84.9% of the
1999 revenues as compared to revenues of $4.2 million or 95.1% for 1998. Real
estate revenues are comprised of rental income from Exchange Building
(commercial office space) rentals and other lease income from the rental of
vacant land and certain structures (15.8% and 32.5%), Ground lease income (9.2%
and 21.8%), volume based rental income (0.3% and 3.0%) and sale of real estate
and other income (74.7% and 42.7%) for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The 1999
increase is due primarily to the $3.4 million increase in sales of real estate,
offset by the combined $0.8 million decrease in rental ($0.4) ground lease
($0.3) and volume based ($0.1) income. The decrease in rental income of $0.4
million is due primarily to Canal's September 1998 sale of its Omaha, Nebraska
property. The decrease in ground lease income of $0.3 million is due to the
April 1999 sale of the South St. Paul, Minnesota stockyard property combined
with Canal's August 1, 1999 purchase of the stockyard assets in Sioux City,
Iowa; St. Joseph, Missouri and Sioux Falls, South Dakota, thereby terminating
the ground lease. The decrease in volume based rental income of $0.1 million is
due to the permanent closing of this plant by its operator in January, 1999. The
percentage variations in the year to year comparisons are due to the significant
increase in real estate sales for fiscal 1999.
Real Estate Expenses
Real estate expenses for 1999 of $3.5 million increased by $1.0 million
(41.7%) from $2.5 million in 1998. Real estate expenses are comprised of labor,
operating and maintenance (14.3% and 36.2%), depreciation and amortization (4.4%
and 8.8%), taxes other than income taxes (9.0% and 9.9%), cost of real estate
sold (69.9% and 41.5%),and general and administrative and other expenses (2.4%
and 3.6%) for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The 1999 increase in real estate
expenses is due primarily to the $1.4 million increase in cost of real estate
sold offset by the combined $0.4 million decrease in other real estate expenses
which resulted primarily from Canal's September 1999 sale of the Omaha, Nebraska
property. The percentage variations in year to year comparisons is due primarily
to the increase in the cost of real estate sold for fiscal 1999.

the results of the independent appraisals done. In fiscal 1999 Canal applied
against sales $621,300 of the valuation allowance against its art inventory,
thereby, decreasing the total valuation allowance to $2,778,700 as of October
31, 1999 as compared to $3,400,000 and $2,850,000 at October 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

21
Art Revenues
Art revenues for 1999 of $186,000 decreased $35,000 or 15.6% from $221,000
in 1998. Art revenues are comprised of proceeds from the sale of antiquities and
contemporary art (100.0% and 100.0%) and commission income on sale of art owned
by third parties (0.0% and 0.0%) for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company's
art inventory was reduced through sales by $0.8 million and $0.4 in fiscal years
1999 and 1998, respectively.
Art Expenses
Art expenses for 1999 of $0.3 million decreased by $1.1 million (81.3%)
from $1.4 million in 1998. Art expenses (excluding valuation allowances)
consisted of the cost of art sold (95.1% and 95.3%) and selling, general and
administrative expenses (4.9% and 4.7%) for 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Included in art expenses is a $0.6 million reduction and a $0.6 million increase
in the valuation allowance against the Company's art inventory (see Note 9 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements) for fiscal years 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for 1999 of $1.3 million increased $0.1
million (5.3%) from $1.2 million in 1998. The major components of general and
administrative expenses are officers salaries (33.6% and 35.4%), rent (8.2% and
7.8%), legal and professional fees (3.4% and 9.9%), insurance (10.6% and 12.9%)
and office salaries (8.7% and 9.2%) for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
percentage increase in legal and professional fees is due to a sharp increase in
legal fees associated with the Pine Valley lawsuit. The percentage increase in
rent reflects the increase in rent expense for Canal's New York office space.
The percentage decreases in officers salaries, insurance and office salaries is
a result of the aggregate increase in total general and administrative expenses
for fiscal 1999.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income of $150,000 for 1999 increased $2,000 (1.8%) from
$148,000 in fiscal 1998. Interest and other income amounts are comprised
primarily of dividend and interest income.
22
Interest Expense
Interest expense for 1999 of $0.5 million decreased by $0.3 million (41.7%)
from $0.8 million in 1998. The 1999 decrease is due primarily to the aggregate
reduction in the outstanding debt. Interest rates on Canal's variable rate
mortgage notes averaged 11.00% in 1999 as compared to an average of 12.00% in
both 1998 and 1997. At October 31, 1999 the outstanding balance of these notes
was $833,000.
Other Expense
Other expense of $139,000 for 1999 was unchanged from fiscal 1998.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Fees and Expenses; Other Benefits
Directors who are not officers of the Company do not receive cash
compensation for service as Directors. Mr. Agranoff was granted 25,000 options
of the Company under the 1985 Directors Stock Option Plan, as amended, in lieu
of an annual retainer and per meeting fees. The options were granted December
1991. Directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred in attending Board and
Committee meetings, including those for travel, food and lodging.
Stock Options for Directors
The Company maintains an option plan for the benefit of directors of the
Company -- the 1985 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "1985 Plan"), which was
approved by the stockholders of the Company on March 12, 1986. Pursuant to the
1985 Plan, a maximum of 264,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per
share, of the Company have been reserved for issuance to directors and members
of the Executive Committee of the Company and its subsidiaries.
26
Options granted under the 1985 Plan are non-qualified stock options and
have an exercise price equal to 100% of fair market value of the shares on the
date of grant. The options may be exercised no earlier than one year from the
date of grant and no later than ten years after the date of grant. Under the
1985 Plan, options covering 22,000 shares are automatically granted to each new
director upon the effective date of his election to office and options covering
5,500 shares are automatically granted to each new member of the Executive
Committee upon the effective date of his appointment to office. In addition, the
1985 Plan was amended on December 18, 1991 to provide an automatic grant of
options covering 25,000 shares to each current and new director who is not an
employee of the Company including Mr. Agranoff. The 1985 Plan is administered by
the Board of Directors of the Company.
During the 2000 fiscal year, no options under the 1985 plan were granted
and no options previously granted were exercised. At October 31, 2000, options
covering an aggregate of 30,500 shares were outstanding under the 1985 Plan and
were held by members of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee. The
exercise price per share of all outstanding options under the 1985 Plan ranges
from $0.13 to $0.25. The expiration dates for outstanding options under the 1985
Plan range from December 2001 to January 2003.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS REPORT
To the Stockholders of Canal Capital Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Canal
Capital Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries as of October 31,
2000 and 1999 and the related consolidated statements of operations &
comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of
the years in the three year period ended October 31, 2000. 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 Canal Capital Corporation
and Subsidiaries as of October 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their
operations and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended
October 31, 2000, 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 Notes 1 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
in eight of the last ten years and is involved in various litigations. All of
these matters raise substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as
a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also
described in Notes 1. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
Canal Capital Corporation ("Canal"), incorporated in the state of Delaware
in 1964, commenced business operations through a predecessor in 1936. Canal was
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canal-Randolph Corporation until June 1, 1984, when
Canal-Randolph Corporation distributed to its stockholders all of the
outstanding shares of Canal's common stock, under a plan of complete
liquidation.
Canal is engaged in three distinct businesses - the management and further
development of its agribusiness related real estate properties located in the
midwest, stockyard operations and art operations, consisting mainly of the
acquisition of art for resale.
While the Company is currently operating as a going concern, certain
significant factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations in eight of the last ten years and is involved in litigation with a
meat packer located in South St. Paul, Minnesota. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the resolution of these
uncertainties (See Notes 1 and 17). Additionally, the accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as
a going concern.
Canal continues to closely monitor and reduce where possible its operating
expenses and plans to continue to reduce the level of its art inventories to
enhance current cash flows. Management believes that its income from operations
combined with its cost cutting program and planned reduction of its art
inventory will enable it to finance its current business activities. There can,
however, be no assurance that Canal will be able to effectuate its planned art
inventory reductions or that its income from operations combined with its cost
cutting program in itself will be sufficient to fund operating cash
requirements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A) Principles of Consolidation -- The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Canal Capital Corporation ("Canal") and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries ("the Company"). All material intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
B) Investments Available for Sale -- Canal has an investment in a company
in which it, together with other affiliated entities, comprise a reporting group
for regulatory purposes. It is important to note that it is the group (as
defined) that can exercise influence over this company, not Canal. Accordingly,
this investment does not qualify for consolidation as a method of reporting.
Certain of Canal's officers and directors also serve as officers and/or
directors of this company. This investment (in which Canal's ownership interest
is approximately 2%) is carried at market value and the realized gains or
losses, if any, are recognized in operating results. Any unrealized gains or
losses are reflected in Stockholders Equity (see Note 4).
Investments in Joint Ventures -- Investments in which ownership interest
range from 20% to 50% or less owned joint ventures are accounted for under the
equity method. These joint ventures are not, in the aggregate, material in
relation to the financial position or results of operations of Canal. The
carrying amount of such investments was $101,000 at both October 31, 2000 and
1999, and is included in other assets. The operating results of joint ventures
accounted for on the equity method, for fiscal year 2000, 1999 and 1998 were not
material to financial statement presentation and were therefore included in
other income from real estate operations.
C) Deferred Leasing and Financing Costs -- Costs incurred in obtaining new
leases and long-term financing are deferred and amortized over the terms of the
related leases or debt agreements, as applicable.
D) Properties and Related Depreciation -- Properties are stated at cost
less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the properties. Such lives are
estimated from 35 to 40 years for buildings and from 5 to 20 years for
improvements and equipment.
Property held for Development or Resale -- Property held for development or
resale consist of approximately 184 acres located in the midwest of undeveloped
land not currently utilized for corporate purposes nor included in any of the
present operating leases. The Company constantly evaluates proposals received
for the purchase, leasing or development of this asset. The land is valued at
cost which does not exceed the net realizable value.
F-10
CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and For Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS No. 121")
as of November 1, 1996. SFAS No. 121 prescribes that an impairment loss is
recognized in the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable and an estimate of future undiscounted
cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Assets are grouped and
evaluated at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that
are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company
considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation
of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to
the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. An
impairment loss is recognized whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. (See Note
20).
E) Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. When properties
are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in current
income.
F) Art Inventory - Inventory of art is valued at the lower of cost,
including direct acquisition and restoration expenses, or net realizable value
on a specific identification basis. Net realizable value is determined in part
by independent appraisal. Independent appraisals covered approximately 57% and
57% of the inventory value at October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
remaining 43% and 43% at October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively was estimated
by management based in part on the independent appraisals done. However, because
of the nature of art inventory, such determination is very subjective and,
therefore, the estimated values could differ significantly from the amount
ultimately realized.
The cost of art is generally specified on the purchase invoice. When
individual art is purchased as part of a group or collection of art, cost is
allocated to individual pieces by management using the information available to
it. A significant portion of the art inventory remains in inventory longer than
a year. Consequently, for financial statement purposes, Canal has classified a
portion of its inventory as non-current assets (see Note 8). Antiquities and
contemporary art represented 45% ($542,758) and 55% ($653,899) and 44%
($542,758) and 56% ($692,149) of total art inventory at October 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively. Substantially all of the contemporary art inventory held for
resale is comprised of the work of Jules Olitski.
Stockyard Inventory - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.
Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.

CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
G) Accounting Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H) Revenue Recognition -- Lease and rental revenues are recognized ratably
over the period covered. All real estate leases are accounted for as operating
leases. Revenues from real estate sales are recognized generally when title to
the property passes. Revenues from stockyard operations which consist primarily
of yardage fees and sale of feed and bedding are recognized at the time the
service is rendered or the feed and bedding are delivered. Revenues from art
sales are recognized using the specific identification method, when the piece is
shipped to the purchaser. Art owned by Canal which is on consignment, joint
venture, or being examined in contemplation of sale is not removed from
inventory and not recorded as a sale until notice of sale or acceptance has been
received. Revenues from the sale of investments available for sale, if any, are
recognized, on a specific identification method, on a trade date basis. I)
Income Taxes -- Canal and its subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income
tax return. The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method in
accordance with the FASB Statement No. 109. Deferred income taxes, if any, are
provided for temporary differences between financial reporting and taxable basis
of assets and liabilities.
J) Statements of Cash Flows -- The company considers all short-term
investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents primarily include bank, broker and time deposits with an original
maturity of less than three months. These investments are carried at cost, which
approximates market value. Canal made federal and state income tax payments of
$27,000, $20,000 and $30,000 and interest payments of $257,000, $465,000 and
$798,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
K) Comprehensive Income -- Effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 requires
that comprehensive income and its components, as defined in the statement, be
reported in a financial statement. The Company elected early adoption of SFAS
No. 130 as of October 31, 1997. The only adjustments for each classification of
the comprehensive income was for minimum pension liability and unrealized (loss)
gain on investments available for sale.
L) Earnings Per Share -- In February 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
128 "Earnings Per Share," which requires companies to present basic earnings per
share (EPS) and diluted earnings per share. The new standard requires additional
information disclosure, and also makes certain modifications to
F-12
CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
the currently applicable EPS calculations defined in Accounting Principles Board
No. 15. The new standard was required to be adopted by all public companies for
reporting periods ending after December 15, 1997, and requires restatement of
EPS for all prior periods reported.
M) Reclassification -- Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the current year's presentation.
3. NOTES AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Included in notes and accounts receivable at October 31, 2000 and 1999 were
the current portion of notes receivable in the amount of $578,000 and $158,000,
respectively, which were generated by real estate and other sales. Notes and
accounts receivable is shown net of a provision for doubtful accounts in the
amount of $8,000 and $0 for fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Canal has an investment in a company in which it, together with other
affiliated entities, comprise a reporting group for regulatory purposes. It is
important to note that it is the group (as defined) that can exercise influence
over this company, not Canal. Accordingly, this investment does not qualify for
consolidation as a method of reporting. Certain of Canal's officers and
directors also serve as officers and/or directors of this company. This
investment (in which Canal's ownership interest is approximately 2%) is carried
at market value and any unrealized gains or losses are reflected in Stockholders
Equity. The realized gains or losses, if any, are recognized in operating
results.
Canal recognized unrealized losses on investments of $zero, $86,000 and
$873,000 for the years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
which are shown as a separate component of Stockholders Equity. On May 3, 2000
this company filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
At October 31, 2000, Canal determined that the decline in market value of its
investment in this company was permanent, and accordingly, recognized a realized
loss on investments in marketable securities of approximately $467,000 in fiscal
2000. In accordance with Canal's accounting policies, the fiscal 2000 realized
loss of $466,917 resulted in a current year charge to Stockholders' Equity of
$123,192 because the balance of $343,725 had been charged directly to equity in
prior years.

5. STOCKYARD OPERATIONS SALE AND SUBSEQUENT REPURCHASE
On October 31, 1989 Canal sold most of its stockyards assets to a group
formed by a former Executive Vice President and Director of the Company. Not
included in the sale was certain land and some facilities previously used by the
stockyard operations. Canal entered into a master lease (the "Lease") with the
purchaser covering approximately 139 acres of land and certain facilities used
by the stockyard operations. The Lease was a 10 year lease, renewable at the
purchaser's option for an additional ten year period, with annual rentals of
$750,000 per year for the first year escalating to $1.0 million per year for the
fourth through the tenth years and $1.0 million per year adjusted for CPI
increases thereafter. In addition, Canal retained the right to receive income
from certain volume based rental income leases with two meat packing companies
located near the stockyards. The income from both the ground lease and the
volume based rental leases are included in Canal's operating results as Real
Estate operations.
In September, 1998 Canal sold a 60 acre parcel of land to the City of
Omaha, Nebraska. This sale included the seventeen acres of land leased to the
stockyards operator. As part of this transaction, Canal received the stockyards
rental payments under the Lease through October 31, 1999 at which time the
operator moved the stockyards to a new location. In April 1999, Canal sold to
the stockyard operator the 31 acres located in South St. Paul, Minnesota which
was subject to the Lease. Finally, in August 1999 Canal bought the operating
assets of the remaining three stockyards subject to the Lease from the operator.
The August transaction released the operator from any further obligations under
the Lease. The income from the stockyard operations for the period August 1,
1999 through October 31, 1999 are reflected in Canal's income statements as
Stockyard Operations.
As discussed above, as part of the 1989 agreement, Canal retained the right
to receive income from certain volume based rental income leases with two meat
packing companies located near the stockyards in Sioux City, Iowa and Fargo,
North Dakota. The Sioux City, Iowa lease was terminated and the property sold to
the meat packer in fiscal 1996. In March 1999 Canal entered into a Settlement
Agreement and Mutual Release (the "Settlement") with Federal Beef Processors,
Inc. ("Federal") the operator of the meat packing plant in Fargo, North Dakota.
Under the terms of the Settlement the packing plant lease was terminated, all
litigation between the parties was dismissed with prejudice and fee title to the
improvements on the leased property reverted to Canal. The March 1999 Settlement
terminated all remaining rights Canal had to receive volume based rental income
under the Lease.
Revenues from the volume based rental agreements for the three years ended
October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $0, $22,000 and $126,000, respectively, all
of which arose from the Fargo, North Dakota lease.
F-14
CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
Canal commenced stockyard operations August 1, 1999 in Sioux City, Iowa,
St. Joseph, Missouri and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Stockyards act much like a
securities exchange, providing markets for all categories of livestock and
fulfilling the economic functions of assembly, grading and price discovery. The
livestock handled by the stockyards include cattle, hogs and sheep. Cattle and
hogs may come through the stockyard facilities at two different stages, either
as feeder livestock or slaughter livestock. The Company's stockyards provide all
services and facilities required to operate an independent market for the sale
of livestock, including veterinary facilities, auction arenas, auctioneers,
weigh masters and scales, feed and bedding, and security personnel. In addition,
the stockyards provide other services including pure bred and other specialty
sales for producer organizations. The Company promotes its stockyard business
through public relations efforts, advertising, and personal solicitation of
producers.
Canal maintains an inventory of feed and bedding which is comprised
primarily of hay, corn and straw. The value of this inventory was $21,000 and
$13,000 at October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Actual marketing transactions at a stockyard are managed for livestock
producers by market agencies and independent commission sales people to which
the livestock are consigned for sale. These market agencies (some of which are
owned and operated by the Company) and independent sales people receive
commissions from the seller upon settlement of a transaction and the stockyard
receives a yardage fee on all livestock using the facility which is paid within
twenty-four hours of the sale. Yardage fees vary depending on the type of
animal, the extent of services provided by the stockyard, and local competition.
Yardage revenues are not directly dependent upon market prices, but rather are a
function of the volume of livestock handled. In general, stockyard livestock
volume is dependent upon conditions affecting livestock production and upon the
market agencies and independent commission sales people which operate at the
stockyards. Stockyard operations are seasonal, with greater volume generally
experienced during the first and fourth quarters of each fiscal year, during
which periods livestock is generally brought to market.
As discussed above, virtually all of the volume at Canal's Sioux Falls
stockyards is handled through market agencies or independent commission sales
people, while the St. Joseph and Sioux City stockyards have solicitation
operations of their own which accounts for approximately 50% and 10% of their
livestock volume annually, respectively. Canal intends to continue its
soliciting efforts at its St. Joseph and Sioux City stockyards in fiscal 2001.
Further, Canal tries to balance its dependence on market agencies and
independent commission sales people in various ways, including developing
solicitation operations of its own; direct public relations advertising and
personal solicitation of producers on behalf of the stockyards; providing
additional services at the stockyards to attract sellers and buyers; and
providing incentives to market agencies and independent commission sales people
for increased business.

notes due May 15, 2001. The purchasers of these notes included certain entities
controlled by the Company's Chairman, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
members of their families. These notes carried interest at the highest of four
variable rates, determined on a quarterly basis. These notes, among other
things, prohibits Canal from becoming an investment company as defined by the
Investment Company Act of 1940; requires Canal to maintain minimum net worth;
restricts Canal's ability to pay cash dividends or repurchase stock; requires
principal prepayments to be made only

out of the proceeds from the sale of certain assets, and required the accrual of
additional interest (to be paid at maturity) of approximately three percent per
annum.
On July 29, 1999 the above Notes were amended to extend the maturity date
to May 15, 2003; to fix the interest rate at 10% per annum; to agree that the
additional interest due to the holders of the notes shall become current and be
treated as principal due under the notes; and to have certain of the holders
loan the Company $525,000 in additional financing, the proceeds of which was
used to repay in full certain of the other holders of the notes. As a result,
the notes are now held in total by the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
members of his family.
On January 10, 2000, the above Notes were further amended to have holders
loan the Company $1,725,000 in additional financing, the proceeds of which was
used to repay in full all of the Company's outstanding non related party
long-term debt. As of October 31, 2000 the balance due under these notes was
$2,522,000 all of which is classified as long-term debt-related party.
On December 1, 1997 the Company issued a $325,000 promissory note due
December 1, 2001 as the result of a settlement agreement with the buyer of a
parcel of land located in Portland, Oregon which Canal sold in 1988. The note
carries interest at the prime rate (8.5% at October 31, 1998) adjusted
semi-annually and requires principal and interest payments in each of the first
four years (based on a 30 year amortization schedule) commencing December 1,
1997. This note was repaid in full on January 10, 2000.

approximately $9,104,000 that expire through 2014 and a net capital loss
carryforward of approximately $2,070,000 that expires October 31, 2005. For
financial statement purposes, a valuation allowance has been provided to offset
the net deferred tax assets due to the cumulative operating losses and capital
losses incurred during recent years. Such allowance increased (decreased) by
approximately $318,000, $(285,000) and $242,000 during the years ended October
31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The valuation allowance will be reduced
when and if, in the opinion of management, significant positive evidence exists
which indicates that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to
realize its deferred tax assets.

Accordingly, the Company will make a contribution of approximately $280,000 for
fiscal 2000 and has made contributions of approximately $243,000 for fiscal 1999
and $150,000 for fiscal 1998. Contributions are intended to provide not only for
benefits attributed to service to date, but also for those expected to be earned
in the future. Assets of the plan were invested in U.S. Government securities,
common stocks and antiquities.

9. ART OPERATIONS
Canal's art dealing operations consist primarily of inventories held for
resale of antiquities primarily from ancient Mediterranean cultures and
contemporary art primarily of one artist. Canal carries on its art dealing
operations through various consignment agreements relating to its antiquities
and contemporary art inventories.
Canal established its art operations in October 1988 by acquiring a
significant inventory for resale of antiquities primarily from the ancient
Mediterranean cultures. In November 1989, Canal expanded its art operations by
entering into a cost and revenue sharing agreement with a New York City gallery
for the exclusive representation of Jules Olitski, a world renowned
F-20
CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
artist of contemporary paintings. As part of this agreement Canal purchased a
number of Olitski paintings which it holds for resale with a book value of
approximately $624,000 at October 31, 2000. The representation agreement expired
December 1, 1994 and Canal now operates independently in the marketing of its
contemporary art inventory.
Due to general economic conditions and the softness of the art markets,
Canal has not purchased inventory in several years. However, Canal continues its
marketing efforts to sell its existing art inventory through various consignment
agreements and at public auctions. Antiquities and contemporary art represented
45% ($542,758) and 55% ($653,899) and 44% ($542,758) and 56% ($692,149) of total
art inventory at October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Substantially all of
the contemporary art inventory held for resale is comprised of the work of Jules
Olitski.
Management estimates it may take approximately five years to dispose of its
current art inventory. The Company's ability to dispose of its art inventory is
dependent at least in part, on general economic conditions, including supply,
demand, international monetary conditions and inflation. Additionally, the art
market itself is very competitive. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that
Canal will be successful in disposing of its art inventory within the time frame
discussed above.
Canal has its art inventory appraised by independent appraisers annually.
The 2000 appraisal covered approximately 57% of the inventory value. The
appraised values estimate the current market value of each piece giving
consideration to Canal's practices of engaging in consignment, private and
public auction sales. The net realizable value of the remaining 43% of the
inventory was estimated by management based in part on the Company's history of
losses sustained on art sales in the current and previous years and in part on
the results of the independent appraisals done. In fiscal 2000 Canal applied
against sales $50,750 of the valuation allowance against its art inventory,
thereby, decreasing the total valuation allowance to $2,727,950 as of October
31, 2000 as compared to $2,778,700 and $3,400,000 at October 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
The nature of art makes it difficult to determine a replacement value. The
most compelling evidence of a value in most cases is an independent appraisal.
The price at which pieces are consigned is usually in line with appraisals and
above the cost of the piece. The amount classified as current represents
management's best estimate of the amount of inventory that will be sold in this
market. Management believes that the provision discussed above
F-21
CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
has effectively reduced inventory to its estimated net realizable value. Canal
will continue to closely monitor the market for its art inventory and will make
adjustments to the carrying value of its inventory as such adjustments become
necessary.
The Company's plan to sell inventory at auction is contemplated in the
normal course of business. Auction in this context is one of the usual channels
used for disposal of its art inventory. The proceeds from these sales are used
to reduce the Company's outstanding debt and finance current operations. If
these sales are not made, the Company has alternate means of raising cash such
as sales of investments, sale of real estate, raising of new capital and further
rescheduling of debt. Some of these measures were successfully implemented in
fiscal 2000.
Canal's art operations have generated operating losses of approximately
$16,000, $76,000 and $1,184,000 on revenues of approximately $52,000, $186,000
and $221,000 for the years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Art sales have resulted primarily through activities in conjunction with sales
of antiquities. Canal's management believes that through its consignment
agreements as well as other potential distribution outlets Canal will continue
the orderly reduction of its antiquities and contemporary art.
The Company had approximately $1,273,000 and $1,358,000 of art inventory
(at original cost) on consignment with third party dealers at October 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively.

10. LEASE COMMITMENTS
In February 1999 Canal, together with two other related entities, amended
its lease for commercial office space in New York City, which space serves as
its headquarters operations. The new lease is for a period of 128 months
expiring in October 2009. Canal's portion of the new space is approximately
1,000 square feet and Canal is responsible for 25% of the lease expense. Each of
the three entities that are parties to this lease are jointly and severally
responsible for the payments required under the lease.

11. IMPAIRMENT LOSS ON LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to
be Disposed of" ("SFAS No. 121") as of November 1, 1996. Canal reviews the
values of its long-lived assets annually. There was no impairment in the value
of Canal's long-lived assets to be recorded as of October 31, 2000, 1999 and
1998.
12. STOCK OPTION PLAN
Under Canal's 1984 Employee and 1985 Directors Stock Option Plans, $550,000
and 264,000 shares, respectively, of Canal's common stock have been reserved for
option grants. The purchase price of shares subject to each option granted,
under the Employee and Directors Plans, will not be less than 85% and 100%,
respectively, of their fair market value at the date of grant. At October 31,
2000 the purchase price of shares subject to each option granted equaled 100% of
the fair market value on the date of grant. Options granted under both plans are
exercisable for 10 years from the date of grant, but no option will be
exercisable earlier than one year from the date of grant. Under the Employee
Plan, stock appreciation rights may be granted in connection with stock options,
either at the time of grant of the options or at any time thereafter. No stock
appreciation rights have been granted under this plan. At October 31, 2000,
there were 308,500 exercisable options outstanding under these plans.
Transactions under these plans are summarized as follows:

The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for its stock option plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized for the years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.
In October, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
(SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, which becomes effective
for transactions entered into in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.
This statement permits an entity to apply the fair value based method to stock
options awarded during 1995 and thereafter in order to measure the compensation
cost at the grant date and recognize it over its vesting period. This statement
also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation costs for these plans
pursuant to APB Opinion 25. Entities electing to remain with the accounting
treatment under APB Opinion 25 must make proforma disclosures of net income and
earnings per share to include the effects of all awards granted in fiscal years
beginning after December 31, 1994, as if the fair value based method of
accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 123 has been applied.
The Company adopted the disclosure requirements for this statement
effective for the year ending October 31, 1996, while continuing to measure
compensation cost using APB 25. Had compensation cost been determined on the
basis of SFAS No. 123, the proforma effect on the Company's net income and
earnings per share for the years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 would
have been deminimus.
13. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE AND DIVIDENDS PAID
During each of the fiscal years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the
Company had 308,500, 319,000 and 323,000 options outstanding. The options were
not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the
effect of exercisable price conversion would be antidilutive. There were no
dividends declared on common stock during the years ended October 31, 2000, 1999
and 1998. Dividends declared on preferred stock during the years ended October
31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were approximately $266,000, $235,000 and $200,000.
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing earnings (loss)
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common share
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect per
share amounts that would have resulted if dilutive potential common stock had
been reported in the financial statements.

14. PREFERRED STOCK ISSUANCE
On October 15, 1986 Canal exchanged 986,865 shares of its $1.30
Exchangeable Preferred Stock ("the Preferred Stock") for a like amount of its
outstanding common stock. Since the exchange, the Company has issued an
additional 3,420,749 shares in the form of stock dividends for a total
outstanding at October 31, 2000 of 4,407,614. All of the Preferred Stock has a
par value of $0.01 per share and a liquidation preference of $10 per share. The
Preferred Stock is subject to optional redemption, in exchange for Canal's 13%
Subordinated Notes, by Canal, in whole or in part at any time on or after
September 30, 1988 at the redemption price of $10 per share. Dividends on the
Preferred Stock accrue at an annual rate of $1.30 per share and are cumulative.
Dividends are payable quarterly in cash or in Preferred Stock at Canal's option.
Payment commenced December 31, 1986. To date, forty-four of the fifty-six
quarterly payments have been paid in additional stock resulting in the issuance
of 3,420,749 shares recorded at their fair value at the time of issuance.
Canal is restricted from paying cash dividends by certain of its debt
agreements (See Note 6). The last cash dividend paid on Canal's preferred stock
was in September 1989. The quarterly dividends payable September 30,
F-27
CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
2000 and December 31, 2000 were passed by the Board of Directors. It is the
Company's intention to pay its next dividend on the preferred stock on June 30,
2001 at which time a one year dividend will have accumulated. The dividend
planned for June 30, 2001 will also be paid in additional stock.
VOTING RIGHTS - The holders of the Preferred Stock shall not have any
voting rights except that the following actions must be approved by holders of
66 2/3% of the shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a class: (I) any amendment
to the Certificate of Incorporation of Canal which would materially alter the
relative rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock so as to adversely affect
the holders thereof; and (ii) issuance of securities of any class of Canal's
capital stock ranking prior (as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up) to the Preferred Stock. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to specific enforcement of the foregoing covenants and to injunctive
relief against any violation thereof.
Whenever quarterly dividends payable on the Preferred Stock are in arrears
in the aggregate amount at least equal to six full quarterly dividends (which
need not be consecutive), the number of directors constituting the Board of
Directors of Canal shall be increased by two and the holders of the Preferred
Stock shall have, in addition to the rights set forth above, the special right,
voting separately as a single class, to elect two directors of Canal to fill
such newly created directorships at the next succeeding annual meeting of
shareholders (and at each succeeding annual meeting of shareholders thereafter
until such cumulative dividends have been paid in full).
15. PENSION VALUATION RESERVE
The Pension Valuation Reserve represents the excess of additional minimum
pension liability required under the provisions of SFAS No. 87 over the
unrecognized prior service costs of former stockyard employees. Such excess
arose due to the decline in the market value of pension assets available for
pension benefits of former employees, which benefits were frozen at the time the
stockyard operations were sold in 1989. The additional minimum pension liability
will be expensed as actuarial computations of annual pension cost (made in
accordance with SFAS No. 87) recognize the deficiency that exists.

17. LITIGATION
Canal and its subsidiaries are from time to time involved in litigation
incidental to their normal business activities, none of which, in the opinion of
management, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
condition of the Company. Canal or its subsidiaries are party to the following
litigations:
Canal Capital Corporation v. Valley Pride Pack, Inc.
Canal commenced an action in U.S. District Court in Minnesota on September
23, 1997, as the assignee of United Market Services Company, against Valley
Pride Pack, Inc. (formerly Pine Valley Meats, Inc. and referred to herein as
"Pine Valley") to recover unpaid livestock fees and charges (estimated to be as
much as $1,000,000) due from Pine Valley under a 1936 Agreement between the
predecessors of Pine Valley and Canal. Upon Pine Valley's motion, the Court
entered an order dated February 23, 1998 granting summary judgment and
dismissing Canal's complaint. Canal appealed the dismissal to the U.S. District
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, which reversed the dismissal and
reinstated Canal's complaint.
On April 9, 1999, Pine Valley served an answer and counterclaim in which it
denied any liability for livestock fees and alleged that the 1936 Agreement
violates Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Minnesota Antitrust Law.
Pine Valley alleges any livestock fee obligation under the 1936 Agreement
constitutes an illegal tying arrangement whereby Canal's predecessor attempted
to tie the purchase of land for the operation of the meat packing plant to the
purchase of cattle at the stockyards by assessing yardage fees on all cattle
purchased for slaughter at the packing plant even if the stockyards provides no
services with respect to the cattle. Pine Valley seeks as relief a declaratory
judgment that the 1936 Agreement is unenforceable, an injunction preventing
Canal from enforcing the fee provisions of the 1936 Agreement and treble damages
for the alleged violation by Canal and its predecessor of the federal and state
antitrust laws, together with attorneys' fees. Pine Valley has not specified a
dollar amount of the alleged antitrust damages which it has stated is the amount
paid by Pine Valley in livestock fees.
On December 20, 2000, the U.S. District Court in Minnesota ruled in Canal's
favor granting its motion for summary judgment, thereby establishing Pine
Valley's liability to Canal for unpaid livestock fees. Additionally, the court
denied all of Pine Valley's assorted defenses and counter claims. This matter
will now be set for trial to determine the amount of damages due Canal from Pine
Valley.
