ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
GENERAL
ADMIRAL FINANCIAL CORP. ("ADMIRAL") IS CURRENTLY AN INACTIVE
CORPORATION, WITH NO ONGOING BUSINESS ACTIVITY.
Admiral was formed in 1987 to acquire an insolvent savings and loan
association in a supervisory acquisition solely with private investment funds,
and without the benefit of any federal assistance payments. Admiral acquired
Haven Federal Savings and Loan Association ("Haven") on June 16, 1988. Admiral
had no prior operating history.
Haven was a Federally chartered stock savings and loan association
that had been conducting its business in Winter Haven, Florida, since 1964. In
addition to its main office, Haven had four branch offices in Polk County which
were located in central Florida. A large portion of the population of Polk
County consists of retired persons on fixed incomes so that the operations of
the Association are dependent primarily on the needs of this community and are
relatively unaffected by the prosperity of any of the businesses located in its
primary market area.
As a result of the enactment of The Financial Institution Reform,
Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA"), the United States government
retroactively applied new capital standards to Haven, declared Haven to be
insolvent and in default of certain provisions of an agreement that the federal
government itself had disregarded, and confiscated the net assets of Haven on
March 2, 1990.
Admiral's sole significant asset was its investment in Haven, and
Admiral has been reduced to an inactive corporate shell.
THE HAVEN ACQUISITION
Admiral acquired Haven on June 16, 1988. The acquisition occurred
through a contributed property exchange, whereby Admiral issued 8,000,000 new
common shares in exchange for assets (primarily real estate and a profitable
business engaged in the purchase and redemption of Florida tax sale
certificates) having fair market values of approximately $40 million, subject to
approximately $27 million of mortgages and other liabilities, and less
approximately $1 million of fees and expenses (necessary to provide the proper
forms and documentation in accordance with government rules and regulations)
during the ensuing sixteen month application and negotiation process with
federal regulatory authorities, for a net fair value equity contribution of
approximately $12 million. Admiral then contributed virtually all of these net
assets and liabilities to the capital of Haven, while simultaneously issuing an
additional 987,000 new common shares of Admiral to the former Haven
shareholders, in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of Haven in an
approved "supervisory acquisition" of an insolvent thrift institution. Admiral
has had substantially no assets, and no operations other than its investment in
Haven, and all active business operations were carried on through Haven.
Prior to the consideration of any of the equity capital contributed
by Admiral in the exchange, the fair value of Haven's liabilities assumed by
Admiral, plus the cost of acquisition, was determined to have exceeded the fair
market value of Haven's tangible assets acquired by approximately $14,902,000,
of which approximately $5,374,000 was attributable to the estimated intangible
value of Haven's deposit base and approximately $548,000 to the estimated
intangible value of Haven's mortgage loan servicing portfolio. The balance of
approximately $8,980,000 was recorded under generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) by Haven as excess cost over net assets acquired ("Goodwill").
The acquisition was accounted for as if it occurred on June 30, 1988. The
purchase method of accounting
1
was used to record the acquisition and, accordingly, all assets and liabilities
of Haven were adjusted to their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date.
By way of a Resolution (the "Agreement") dated April 26, 1988, the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board ("FHLBB") approved the acquisition of control of
Haven by Admiral. A condition of the Agreement authorizing the acquisition
required that Admiral account for the acquisition of Haven under the "purchase"
method of accounting, whereby an asset in the nature of "Supervisory Goodwill"
would be calculated in accordance with the "Regulatory Accounting Principles"
(RAP) then in effect. Supervisory Goodwill was realized, generally, to the
extent of any previous negative net worth of the acquired insolvent thrift, plus
the excess of the fair market values of the contributed assets over their
respective historical costs. Haven's Supervisory Goodwill of approximately $20
million was, in accordance with the Agreement, to be amortized against future
earnings over a period of twenty-five years.
Also in accordance with the Agreement, Haven was credited with new
capital under RAP accounting, equal to $11 million. This amount was computed by
taking into account the $13 million fair market value of the net assets
contributed by Admiral to Haven, less the $1 million of fees and costs incurred,
and less an additional $1 million resulting from reduced valuations of certain
of the contributed assets for purposes of calculating Haven's RAP equity by the
appraisal division of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
In accordance with GAAP, however, the contributed equity values
reported to Admiral's shareholders was the net historical book value of
$596,812, net of approximately $1.05 million of out-of-pocket professional fees,
expenses, and other transaction costs associated with the supervisory
acquisition, and not the appraised net fair market equity values of $13 million.
As an integral part of Admiral's application to acquire Haven,
Admiral filed a Business Plan of proposed operations calling for a significant
growth of earning assets, and an increase in low-cost deposits and other
lower-cost liabilities to refinance Haven's relatively high cost of funds. This
growth was to be generated both internally, and by acquisitions of other
branches and thrifts. The FHLBB Agreement approved Admiral's Business Plan.
In exchange for the favorable accounting treatments regarding the
Supervisory Goodwill and the resulting calculation of RAP equity, the Agreement
imposed a number of conditions upon Admiral. Specifically:
Admiral was required to record the supervisory acquisition
transaction utilizing the "purchase" method of accounting, resulting
in the recognition of the maximum amount of Supervisory Goodwill
possible (approximately $20 million) under any allowable method of
current accounting theory.
Admiral agreed that it would cause the regulatory capital of Haven to
be maintained at a level at or above the quarterly minimum regulatory
capital requirement and, if necessary, infuse additional equity
capital sufficient to comply with this requirement.
Should Admiral default in this provision and be unable to cure the
default within 90 days, the FSLIC could exercise any right or remedy
available to it by law, equity, statute or regulation. In addition to
the rights that were available to the FSLIC by virtue of the
Agreement, whenever any savings and loan association fails to meet
its regulatory capital requirement, the FHLBB and the FSLIC (or their
successors) could take such actions as they deem appropriate to
protect the Association, its depositors and the FSLIC.
Admiral agreed that it would cause Haven to liquidate all of the
contributed real estate according to a schedule specified by the
FHLBB as follows: 37.5% of the market value of the properties (as
determined by the FHLBB's District Appraiser) by March 31, 1989, an
additional 12.5% by June 30, 1989, and an
2
additional 12.5% during each succeeding quarter.
If Admiral had defaulted in this regard, it could have been subject
to forfeiture of 100% of its Haven stock. The FSLIC would have the
right to vote the Haven stock, remove Haven's Board of Directors
and/or dispose of the stock of Haven.
Admiral acquired Haven solely with private equity capital. There were
no federal assistance payments, capital assistance notes, or any other form of
federal payments (which had been made available to other purchasers of insolvent
thrifts), involved in the acquisition Agreement negotiations. The only element
of the Agreement that Admiral specifically bargained for was the allowance of
Supervisory Goodwill, with its twenty-five year amortization period, to
compensate Admiral for its recapitalization of an insolvent thrift with a $15
million negative net worth on the supervisory acquisition date.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1989, Haven experienced a "Net
Interest Income" (similar to a "Gross Profit" for commercial business
operations) of $1.635 million, as opposed to a Net Interest Expense of ($.163
million) for the fiscal year immediately preceding Admiral's supervisory
acquisition of Haven. These results represented a significant turnaround for
Haven during the first year of post-supervisory acquisition operations.
Haven was successful in meeting the real estate liquidation
requirements imposed by the Agreement, including any extensions of time granted
thereunder. However, Haven experienced a $4.3 million erosion of its regulatory
capital due to losses sustained as a result of liquidating one single, large
commercial property included in the stated real estate under what can only be
described as "fire sale" conditions, on the last possible day under the
Agreement, in order to meet the time schedules mandated by the FHLBB in the
Agreement. This loss, together with other operating losses and goodwill
amortization expenses, caused Haven to fail to meet its minimum capital
requirement as of March 31, 1989, and at all times thereafter.
The Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of
1989 ("FIRREA") was introduced on February 5, 1989, and enacted into law on
August 9, 1989. FIRREA imposed, by no later than December 7, 1989, more
stringent capital requirements upon savings institutions than those previously
in effect. These capital requirements were applied to Haven on a retroactive
basis. Haven did not meet these new capital requirements on the date of
enactment, or on the date of Haven's acquisition by Admiral. Because of certain
provisions of FIRREA relating primarily to the disallowance of supervisory
goodwill and certain other intangible assets in the calculation of required net
capital, management estimates that Admiral would have been required under the
Agreement to infuse additional capital of approximately $18 million by December
7, 1989. Had FIRREA been in effect on the date of Haven's acquisition by
Admiral, Haven would have fallen short of the capital requirements by
approximately $14 million, after taking into account Admiral's contribution of
$11 million of new regulatory capital. Admiral did not infuse any additional
capital, and the net assets of Haven were confiscated by the federal authorities
on March 2, 1990.
With nearly $20 million of Supervisory Goodwill on the books and only
$11 million of contributed capital (thereby resulting in a negative tangible net
worth in excess of $8 million, and an immediate shortfall of qualifying capital
in excess of nearly $15 million) on the date of the supervisory acquisition of
Haven by Admiral, Haven did not meet these new capital requirements imposed by
FIRREA.
The FHLBB, in a supervisory letter dated March 31, 1989, designated
the Association as a "troubled institution" subject to the requirements of the
office of Regulatory Activities Regulatory Bulletin 3a ("RB3a"). A troubled
institution under RB3a is subject to various growth restrictions concerning
deposit accounts and lending activities. Haven was directed to "shrink" its
asset and deposit base, thereby assuring future operating losses.
3
As of March 31, 1989, Haven's regulatory capital fell approximately
$580,000 below its minimum regulatory capital requirement. As of June 30, 1989,
Haven's regulatory capital was approximately $2.3 million below the minimum
regulatory requirement. This regulatory capital deficiency was a result of the
Association's substantial operating losses incurred as a result of the directive
from FHLBB supervisory personnel to "shrink" the assets and deposits of Haven,
and the sale of certain parcels of contributed real estate, under circumstances
that could only be described as a "fire sale," at amounts which approximated
predecessor cost, rather than at the substantially higher appraised values
(which had previously been reviewed and approved by the appropriate regulatory
authorities). In addition, due to Haven's inability to continue operations
without a significant capital infusion or other source of recapitalization, the
value of the Association's excess cost over net assets acquired (Goodwill) was
considered permanently impaired and, accordingly, the entire balance was written
off at June 30, 1989.
Admiral was notified by the FHLBB on July 17, 1989, that since the
regulatory capital deficiency had not been corrected, Admiral was in default of
the Agreement and had 90 days (i.e., until October 18, 1989) to cure the
default. Admiral management was directed to resign any positions held at Haven,
Haven personnel were directed to cease communications with Admiral, and to
abandon any efforts to meet the contributed real estate liquidation schedule
contained in the Agreement. Admiral did not infuse the additional capital
required, and the net assets of Haven were confiscated by the federal government
on March 2, 1990.
Due to the regulatory capital requirements imposed by FIRREA, even if
Admiral were able to infuse the approximate $2.3 million June 30, 1989
regulatory capital deficiency and cure the default, the cure would have only
been temporary. Because of certain provisions of FIRREA relating primarily to
the treatment of intangible assets, management estimates that Admiral would have
been required to infuse additional capital of approximately $18 million by the
December 7, 1989 date specified by the new law. Had the FIRREA requirements been
effective and fully phased in at the time of the acquisition, Haven would have
had a tangible capital deficiency of approximately $18 million as of the
acquisition date; and to meet the capital requirements, Admiral would have had
to fund approximately $14 million, in addition to the assets which were
contributed with an appraised equity value of approximately $11 million for
regulatory capital purposes.
As of September 30, 1989, Haven had not met the contributed real
estate sale schedule. On September 27, 1989, the Association received a letter
from its Supervisory Agent in which the Supervisory Agent agreed not to enforce
its rights upon a default in the real estate sale schedule until November 1,
1989. The net assets of Haven were confiscated by the federal government on
March 2, 1990.
Because of the effects of FIRREA, and the impact of certain
requirements imposed by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board ("FHLBB") and the
Federal Savings and Loan insurance Corporation ("FSLIC") upon Admiral and upon
the operations of Haven, Admiral's management determined that the initial
economic decisions leading to the acquisition, recapitalization and operation of
Haven had been frustrated by FIRREA, and the only remaining alternative
available to Admiral was to sell or merge Haven, and withdraw from the savings
and loan business. Once Haven was divested, Admiral would have no other
operations.
In the meantime, Admiral and Haven applied, immediately after the
enactment of FIRREA, for relief from the requirements of the Agreement. Haven
also applied for regulatory relief from sanctions imposed by FIRREA for failing
to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements. Furthermore, Admiral and
Haven applied for federal assistance payments under a FIRREA relief provision
which management believed was intended to be applicable to prior acquirers of
insolvent thrift institutions in supervisory acquisitions, where a significant
amount of "supervisory goodwill" is involved, and those acquirers were being
treated by the effects of the new legislation as if they had been the persons
who had caused the thrift to become insolvent in the first place. Admiral
management was never notified of any action
4
taken or hearing scheduled in connection with the various forms of relief being
sought.
Because of all of the circumstances enumerated above, Admiral
attempted to dispose of its Haven common stock and to secure a release of its
obligations under the Agreement either through a merger, an acquisition or a
tender of its Haven common stock to the FHLBB or its successor in the event that
the Association's applications for specific relief were not approved.
The net assets of Haven were confiscated on March 2, 1990.

ITEM 6. SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA.
Admiral was formed in 1987 for the purpose of effecting the
Contributed Property Exchange Offer and Merger with Haven and had no prior
operating history. Admiral's acquisition of Haven occurred on June 16, 1988, and
has been accounted for as if it occurred on June 30, 1988. Therefore, the
following table sets forth selected consolidated financial data for the
operations of Haven, the predecessor company, for the two years ended June 30,
1988, and for Admiral for the three years ended June 30, 1991. In addition,
selected financial data on the financial position of Admiral is shown as of June
30, 1991, 1990, 1989 and 1988. Such information is qualified in its entirety by
the more detailed information set forth in the financial statements and the

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Admiral was formed in 1987 and had no operations until its
acquisition of Haven on June 16, 1988. The acquisition was accounted for as
though it had occurred on June 30, 1988, so that the three years ended June 30,
1991, 1990 and 1989 are the first years during which Admiral reported
operations. Admiral's only significant asset is its investment in Haven and,
therefore, the operations being reported on are primarily those of its
subsidiary, the predecessor registrant Haven.

COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1991 AND 1990
GENERAL. Net loss for 1991 was $21,044 or $0.002 per share. This
compares to a net loss for 1990 of $79,030 or $0.010 per share. The significant
decrease in the net loss in 1990 compared to 1989 is due primarily to the
elimination of Admiral's employees and the closing of Admiral's offices during
the year. Admiral was inactive at June 30, 1991.
TOTAL INCOME. Income decreased to $0 in 1991 from $2,335 in 1990.
Admiral sold its furniture and equipment during 1990.
COMPENSATION EXPENSE. Compensation expenditures were eliminated
during fiscal 1990, when all employees were terminated. Consequently,
compensation expense decreased to $0 in 1991 from $26,731 in 1990.
TOTAL OTHER EXPENSE. Other expense items, including amortization of
organizational expenses of $20,193 and $20,193 in 1991 and 1990, were reduced
during fiscal 1990, when all employees were terminated, Admiral's offices were
vacated, and Admiral became inactive. Consequently, other expense decreased to
$21,044 in 1991 from $54,634 in 1990.
COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1990 AND 1989
GENERAL. Net loss for 1990 was $79,030 or $0.01 per share. This
compares to a net loss for 1989 of $13,813,316 or $1.26 per share. The
significant decrease in the net loss in 1990 compared to 1989 is due primarily
to the 1989 write-off of the entire remaining balance of the excess cost over
net assets acquired (Goodwill), as well as the anticipation of losses from the
"fire-sale" of the contributed real estate, totaling more than $11,500,000.
Haven's loss from operations in 1989 of $2.3 million was incurred primarily as a
result of business and investment decisions and directives from Haven's
Supervisory Authorities to "shrink" Haven's earning asset base. The following
illustrates the major differences between 1990 and 1989:
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,

=========== ===========
TOTAL INCOME. Income increased slightly in 1990 to $2,335 from
$1,504 in 1989. Admiral sold its furniture and equipment during 1990.
COMPENSATION EXPENSE. Compensation expenditures were eliminated
during fiscal 1990, when all employees were terminated. Consequently,
compensation expense decreased from $60,080 in 1989 to $26,731 in 1990.
TOTAL OTHER EXPENSE. Other expense items were eliminated during
fiscal 1990,
8
when all employees were terminated, Admiral's offices were vacated, and Admiral
became inactive. Consequently, other expense decreased from $66,530 in 1989 to
$54,634 in 1990.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Admiral has been reduced to a corporate "shell," with no operations
or current activity. There is very little corporate liquidity, no available
capital resources, and no immediately foreseeable prospects for the future
improvement of Admiral's financial picture.
Admiral management intends to seek a new line of business. as yet
unidentified. In connection therewith, Admiral's management believes that a
restructuring of Admiral may be necessary in order to raise capital for new
operations, and any such restructuring may have a substantial dilutive effect
upon Admiral's existing shareholders. Admiral has no ongoing commitments or
obligations other than with respect to its obligations related to the
acquisition of Haven.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
CASH COMPENSATION
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to
the Chief Executive Officer, and each other executive officer of Admiral and/or
Haven whose total cash compensation exceeded $100,000 during the year ended June
30, 1991.
ANNUAL COMPENSATION AWARDS
NAME AND ------------------------------------------------
PRINCIPAL POSITION YEAR SALARY BONUS OTHER
------------------ ---- ------ ----- -----
Wm. Lee Popham 1991 $ --- --- ---
Chairman and President 1990 13,333 --- ---
Chief Executive Officer 1989 91,482 --- ---
INCENTIVE BONUS PLAN
Admiral has a policy of paying discretionary bonuses to eligible
officers and
10
employees based upon the individual's performance. Under the plan, Admiral and
its subsidiaries distribute approximately 20% of Admiral's consolidated pre-tax
profits in the form of cash bonuses awarded by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors, based on management's recommendations and evaluations of
performance. No bonuses have been paid since Admiral's inception in 1987.
RETIREMENT PLAN
No Admiral employee is currently covered under any form of retirement
plan.
In prior years, Haven employees were covered under a noncontributory
trusteed pension plan, which was replaced by a contributory Section 401(k) plan
for Admiral and Haven employees on March 31, 1989. Employees were permitted to
contribute amounts up to 6% of their annual salary to this plan, with the
employer providing matching contributions at a rate of 50% of such employee's
contributions (to a maximum of 3% of such employee's salary), together with a
discretionary contribution amount not exceeding 1% of covered compensation.
The Section 401(k) contribution plan was suspended when the net
assets of Haven were confiscated, and all Admiral employees were removed from
their employment positions by the federal regulators.
STOCK COMPENSATION PROGRAM
The Board of Directors and shareholders of Admiral adopted the 1988
Stock Compensation Program (the "Program"), effective December 19, 1988, for the
benefit of directors, officers and other employees of Admiral and its
subsidiaries, including Haven, who are deemed to be responsible for the future
growth of Admiral. Under the Program, Admiral has reserved 1,100,000 shares of
authorized but unissued Common Stock for the future issuance of option grants.
Options granted under the Program can be in the form of incentive options,
compensatory options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, or any
combination thereof.
There have been no grants of any rights or options to any director,
officer or employee of Admiral or any affiliate.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Board of Directors and shareholders of Admiral approved the 1988
Employee Stock Purchase Program on December 19, 1988, enabling the directors,
officers and employees of Admiral and its affiliates to acquire a proprietary
interest in Admiral's Common Stock through a payroll deduction program. To date,
this plan has not been implemented by Admiral.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
There are no employment agreements between Admiral and any of
Admiral's employees.
INDEBTEDNESS OF MANAGEMENT
Admiral makes no loans to its directors, officers or employees.
11
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
While each Director is entitled to receive $500 plus reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses for attending each meeting, each Director volunteered to
suspend the receipt of all director fees due to Admiral's current financial
condition, beginning with the meeting held during the third fiscal quarter of
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1989. No additional compensation is paid for
attendance of committee meetings.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Wm. Lee Popham, the Chairman and President of Admiral, was previously
also the Chairman, President and controlling stockholder of CCH. Mr. Popham's
mother, Jeanne M. Baker, was also a director of CCH. While CCH did not receive
any fees or other compensation from Admiral or Haven during the fiscal year, CCH
did receive a consulting, management and organizational fee in connection with
the acquisition of Haven by Admiral of $354,286, plus expense reimbursements
payable in cash during fiscal 1988. CCH and its affiliates, including Caesar
Creek TSC, Ltd. (CCTSC) were liquidated in December 1989.
Wm. Lee Popham, together with certain members of his family
(including David C. Popham and Jeanne M. Baker) and certain affiliates including
CCH and CCTSC, participated in a transaction which capitalized Admiral in order
to effect the acquisition of Haven in a contributed property exchange offer. The
total historical cost of the property contributed by Wm. Lee Popham, his family
and affiliates in the exchange was $1,228,227, the aggregate appraised value of
such contributed property was $12,586,553, and the net contribution value was
$7,022,965. Mr. Popham and his family and affiliates received an aggregate of
4,330,208 shares of Admiral Common Stock in the exchange, which occurred on June
16, 1988.
Linda E. Baker, a director, officer and stockholder of Admiral was
also an officer, director and stockholder of CCH prior to its liquidation,
as described above. She is not related to Jeanne M. Baker.
In accordance with the approved supervisory acquisition Agreement,
Haven was contractually obligated to pay Admiral a management fee of $25,000 per
quarter for financial and operational advice, budgeting, business planning,
marketing and public relations. Haven was directed by FHLBB supervisory
personnel to cease in honoring this approved contractual obligation, beginning
with the January 1990 payment.

AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1991 AND 1990
(1) ORGANIZATION AND REGULATORY MATTERS
On June 16, 1988, Admiral Financial Corp. ("Admiral") acquired Haven
Federal Savings and Loan Association ("Haven"). For financial
reporting purposes, the acquisition has been accounted for as if it
occurred on June 30, 1988, and the results of operations of the
Association from June 16, 1988, to June 30, 1988, are considered to
be immaterial. Admiral was a newly formed savings and loan holding
company that was capitalized through the contribution of various
parcels of real estate, investment securities and a tax sale
certificate business ("Contributed Property") recorded at its net
predecessor cost of $596,812, net of transaction costs. The
Association was acquired by Admiral through the exchange of common
stock which was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting
and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities were adjusted to their
estimated fair market values as of the date of acquisition.
In connection with the acquisition, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board
("FHLBB"), which was abolished by the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 and was succeeded by the Office
of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") of the Treasury Department, issued a
resolution (the "Agreement") on April 26, 1988, requiring that
Admiral must comply with certain conditions. Those conditions
included a Regulatory Capital Maintenance/Dividend Agreement (the
"Capital Agreement") dated June 15, 1988, by and between the Federal
Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation "FSLIC" and Admiral:
(a) No dividends will be paid by the Association until all of
the real estate included in the Contributed Property is
liquidated and the cash proceeds recorded on the
Association's books. Any dividends that are a result of
income from the sale of real estate are restricted to the
sales price less the regulatory appraised value minus any
carrying costs paid by the Association. In addition, unless
prior approval has been obtained from the FHLBB, dividends
paid by the Association shall be limited to 50% of its
income for that fiscal year as reflected in its quarterly
reports to the FHLBB, except for the fiscal year of
acquisition when dividends paid by the Association shall be
limited to 50% of its net income earned after the effective
date of the acquisition, provided that any dividends
permitted under this limitation may be deferred and paid in
a subsequent year, and the payment of dividends would not
reduce the regulatory capital of the Association below the
required level.
(b) If the Association fails to meet its regulatory capital
requirements, then Admiral must infuse sufficient equity
capital, in a form satisfactory to the FHLBB, into the
Association during the subsequent quarter. Admiral was
permitted to cure any default within 90 days.
Failure to do so will allow the FSLIC to exercise its legal
or equitable rights under the Capital Agreement to enforce
the terms of the Capital Agreement. Admiral was deemed by
the FHLBB on July 17, 1989, to have defaulted on its
obligation to infuse capital under the Capital Agreement
and was given until October 18, 1989, to cure such
defaults. Failure to cure such default by that date would
permit the FSLIC (or its successor) to seek its legal or
equitable remedy as set forth in the Capital Agreement,
which included specific performance or administrative or
judicial enforcement proceedings.
F-6
(c) Admiral shall cause the Association to liquidate all of
the real estate contributed as regulatory capital within
two years after consummation of the transaction according
to the following schedule: at least 37.5% of the market
value of the properties as determined by the FHLBB District
Appraiser by the end of the third quarter after
consummation and thereafter at least 12.5% each subsequent
quarter. The Association shall not provide financing to
facilitate the liquidation of the real estate contributed
as regulatory capital without the prior written approval of
the Association's Supervisory Agent. If Admiral does not
meet this real estate liquidation schedule, the FSLIC shall
have the right to vote the Association's stock, remove the
Association's Board of Directors and/or dispose of any or
all of the common stock of the Association owned by
Admiral. The Association applied for relief from the
requirements of the Resolution and Capital Agreement which
mandate the sale of real estate in accordance with the
schedule above, but was never given the opportunity for a
hearing, or the benefit of a response.
For regulatory purposes, the Association was required to comply with
minimum regulatory capital requirements. During the year ended June
30, 1989, the Association incurred substantial operating losses and
sold certain parcels of Contributed Property at amounts which
approximated predecessor cost, rather than at the substantially
higher regulatory appraised values. These factors contributed to the
Association's failure to meet its minimum regulatory capital
requirement on June 30, 1989. At June 30, 1989, such minimum
regulatory capital requirement amounted to approximately $6,642,000.
When an association fails to meet its regulatory capital requirement,
the FHLBB and the FSLIC (and their successors) may take such actions
as they deem appropriate to protect the Association; its depositors;
the FSLIC; and its successor, Savings Association Insurance 'Fund
("SAIF").
The FHLBB, in a supervisory letter dated March 31, 1989, designated
the Association as a "troubled institution" subject to the
requirements of the Office of Regulatory Activities Regulatory
Bulletin 3a ("RB3a"). A troubled institution under RB3a is subject to
various growth restrictions concerning deposit accounts and lending
activities.
Admiral did not have the ability to infuse sufficient equity capital
into the Association in accordance with the Agreement and Capital
Agreement. Due to the inability to continue operations without a
significant capital infusion or other source of recapitalization, the
value of the Association's excess cost over net assets acquired was
considered permanently impaired and, accordingly, was written off at
June 30, 1989.
On August 9, 1989, the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and
Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") was signed into law. FIRREA
imposed, by no later than December 7, 1989, more stringent capital
requirements upon savings institutions than those currently in
effect. In addition, FIRREA included provisions for changes in the
Federal regulatory structure for institutions including a new deposit
insurance system, increased deposit insurance premiums and restricted
investment activities with respect to non-investment grade corporate
debt and certain other investments. FIRREA also increases the
required ratio of housing-related assets in order to qualify as an
insured institution.
However, the biggest impact on Admiral and Haven was FIRREA's
provisions for new capital standards that require institutions to
have a minimum regulatory tangible capital equal to 1.5% of total
assets and a minimum 3.0% leverage capital ratio by no later than
December 7, 1989. The ability to include qualifying supervisory
goodwill for purposes of the leverage capital ratio requirement will
be phased out by January 1, 1995. In addition, institutions were
required to meet a risk-based capital requirement. In all cases, the
capital standards were also required to be no less stringent than
standards applicable to national banks. Currently, national banks are
required to maintain a primary capital-to-assets ratio of 5.5% and a
total capital-to-assets ratio of 6.0%.
The Association did not meet these new capital requirements imposed
by FIRREA.
F-7
The Association sought regulatory relief from sanctions imposed by
FIRREA for failing to meet the minimum regulatory capital
requirements, and applied for financial assistance to the FDIC. There
was no response or hearing prior to the seizure of Haven.
The net assets of Haven were seized by the federal government on
March 2, 1990.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying balance sheets as of June 30, 1991 and 1990, include
the accounts of Admiral and the net assets and net liabilities of its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Haven Federal Savings and Loan Association.
Due to Admiral's intent to dispose of its control of the Association,
as discussed in note 1, the Association's net assets, net
liabilities, and net losses from operations have been presented in
the aggregate. The consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' (deficit) equity and cash flows for the year ended June
30, 1989, include the accounts of Admiral and the Association. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
(b) OFFICE PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated lives are
five to twelve years for furniture, fixtures and equipment and thirty
to fifty years for buildings. Renewals and betterments which
materially increase the value of the property are capitalized.
All office properties and equipment were sold when the offices of the
Company were closed during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1990, and
the proceeds from such sales are reflected as "other income."
(C) INCOME TAXES
Admiral and its wholly-owned subsidiary file a consolidated tax
return. Taxes are provided on all income and expense items included
in earnings, regardless of the period in which such items are
recognized for tax purposes, except for income representing a
permanent difference.
(d) REAL ESTATE
Loss from real estate operations includes rental income, operating
expenses, interest expense on the related mortgages payable, gains on
sales, net and provision for estimated losses to reflect subsequent
declines in the net realizable value below predecessor cost.
Provisions for estimated losses on real estate are charged to
earnings when, in the opinion of management, such losses are
probable. While management uses the best information available to
make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowances may be
necessary if economic con ditions change substantially from the
assumptions used in making the evaluations.
F-8
(f) EXCESS COST OVER NET ASSETS ACQUIRED AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
The excess cost over net assets acquired was amortized by the
interest method over the estimated lives of the long-term,
interest-bearing assets acquired. The remaining unamortized excess
cost over net assets acquired was written off at June 30, 1989 (see
note 1).
(g) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include the accounts of Admiral.
(3) PURCHASE ACCOUNTING
(a) At June 30, 1989, the remaining unamortized excess cost
over net assets acquired of $7,768,074 was written off and
charged to operations (see note 1).
(4) INCOME TAXES
At June 30, 1991 and 1990, the Company has net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $15,765,000 and $18,728,000 for
Federal income tax purposes, and $15,283,000 and $18,203,000,
respectively, for state income tax purposes to offset future taxable
income.
These carryforwards were scheduled to expire in future years as
follows:

============ ============
The Company has not filed its federal or Florida income tax returns
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1990. While the confiscation of
the assets and liabilities of Haven may have resulted in a taxable
event, management believes that any taxable income resulting from
such confiscation
F-9
of assets and liabilities will not exceed the available net
operating loss carryforwards.
The net operating loss carryforwards expiring through 2002 were
generated by the Association prior to its acquisition by Admiral
Financial Corp. and have been carried over at their original amounts
for income tax purposes. For financial statement purposes, these
purchased loss carryforwards will not be used to offset the future
tax expense of Admiral. They will be accounted for as an adjustment
to equity if and when a tax benefit is realized. At June 30, 1991 and
1990, such purchased loss carryforwards remaining amounted to
approximately $5,179,000 and $8,163,000, respectively.
(5) DISPOSAL OF THE ASSOCIATION
The net assets and net liabilities of Haven were confiscated by the
federal government on March 2, 1990.
(6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Association paid Admiral a management fee of $25,000 per quarter
during fiscal 1989, and for the first two fiscal quarters of 1990.
These payments between affiliates have been eliminated, reducing the
recognized loss from discontinued operations.
(7) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Admiral is not involved in any material legal proceedings.
