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 were dependent primarily on the needs of this community and were
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.
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 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.
1
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 additional 12.5% during each succeeding
quarter.
If Admiral had defaulted in this regard, it could have been subject to
2
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.
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
3
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 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
4
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 2. PROPERTIES.
Admiral Financial Corp.'s principal office is located in Miami Beach,
Florida. The Company is currently being allowed to share, free of charge,
certain office facilities and office equipment located at 825 Arthur Godfrey
Road, Miami Beach, Florida 33140. Admiral does not have any lease obligations.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On August 5, 1993, Admiral filed a Complaint against the United States
of America in the United States Court of Federal Claims, arising in part out of
contractual promises made to Admiral by the United States' Government, acting
through the Federal Home Loan Bank Board ("FHLBB") and the Federal Savings and
Loan Insurance Corporation ("FSLIC") pursuant to their statutory supervisory
authority over federally insured savings and loan institutions and savings banks
(hereinafter referred to a "thrifts" or "thrift institutions"), and in part out
of takings of property by the FHLBB and FSLIC in the course of exercising that
authority. In this action, Admiral seeks (1) a declaration that the government's
actions constitute a repudiation and material breach of their contractual
obligations to Admiral and, thereby, effect a taking of Admiral's property
without just compensation and a deprivation of Admiral's property without due
process of law, in violation of the Fifth Amendment, and (2) compensatory
damages for the United States' breach of contract, or (3) rescission of the
contract and restitutionary relief, or (4) compensation for the taking of
Admiral's property, or (5) damages for the deprivation of Plaintiffs' property
without due process of law."
This action was stayed by order of the Court dated September 3, 1993,
pending the en banc decision on rehearing of the Court of Appeal for the Federal
Circuit in WINSTAR CORP., ET AL V. UNITED STATES, a pending action which Admiral
management believes to contain a similar fact pattern.
On August 30, 1995, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit, in an EN BANC decision, affirmed the summary judgment decisions by the
Court of Federal Claims on the liability portion of the breach of contract
claims against the United States in WINSTAR, and in two other similar cases
(STATESMAN and GLENDALE) which had been consolidated for purposes of the appeal.
In its WINSTAR decisions, the Court of Federal Claims found that an
implied-in-fact contract existed between the government and Winstar, and that
the government breached this contract when Congress enacted FIRREA. In STATESMAN
and GLENDALE, that Court found that the Plaintiffs had express contracts with
the government which were breached by the enactment of FIRREA.
The federal government appealed the WINSTAR decisions to the United
States Supreme Court. On November 14, 1995, Admiral's action (and all other
similar actions) was stayed by order of the Court, pending the outcome of that
appeal.
On July 1, 1996, the United States Supreme Court concluded in WINSTAR
that the United States is liable for damages for breach of contract, affirmed
the summary
5
judgment decisions in Winstar, and remanded the cases to the Court of Federal
Claims for further hearings on the calculation of damages. The majority of the
Court found "no reason to question the Federal Circuit's conclusion that the
Government had express contractual obligations to permit respondents to use
goodwill and capital credits in computing their regulatory capital reserves.
When the law as to capital requirements changed, the Government was unable to
perform its promises and became liable for breach under ordinary contact
principles."
Subsequent to the United States Supreme Court decision in Winstar, the
stay on Admiral's litigation proceedings has been lifted. While the Supreme
Court's ruling in U.S. v. Winstar Corp., et al., serves to support Admiral's
legal claims in its pending lawsuit against the federal government, it is not
possible at this time to predict what effect the Supreme Court's ruling, and the
subsequent rulings of a lower court concerning damages, will have on the outcome
of Admiral's lawsuit. Notwithstanding the Supreme Court's ruling, there can be
no assurance that Admiral will be able to recover any funds arising out of its
claim and, it any recovery is made, the amount of such recovery.
Admiral is not a party to any other legal proceedings.

of Haven on June 16, 1988. Admiral's only significant asset was its investment
in Haven. Admiral has been inactive since 1990.
8
COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
Admiral was inactive, and recorded no revenues or expenses during
either period.
COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
Admiral was inactive, and recorded no revenues or expenses during
either period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Admiral has been reduced to a corporate "shell," with no operations or
current activity. There is no 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 and subsequent confiscation of Haven.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
CASH COMPENSATION
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the
Chief
10
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,
1996.

------------------ ---- ------ ----- -----
Wm. Lee Popham 1996 $ --- --- ---
Chairman and President 1995 --- --- ---
Chief Executive Officer 1994 --- --- ---
INCENTIVE BONUS PLAN
Admiral has a policy of paying discretionary bonuses to eligible
officers and 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.
11
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.
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.

ADMIRAL FINANCIAL CORP.
AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) ORGANIZATION AND REGULATORY MATTERS
Admiral Financial Corp. ("Admiral") is inactive.
On June 16, 1988, Admiral acquired Haven Federal Savings and Loan
Association ("Haven"). 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.
FIRREA's provisions for new capital standards required 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, 1996 and 1995, include
references to the accounts of Admiral and the net assets and net
liabilities of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Haven Federal Savings and
Loan Association. Due to Haven's status as a discontinued operation, 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 years prior to 1990 included the accounts of
Admiral and the Association. All significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
(b) OFFICE PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT
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.
(e) 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).
F-8
(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
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, 1996 and 1995, the Company has estimated net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $10,447,000 and $10,426,000,
respectively, for Federal income tax purposes, and $10,095,000 and
$10,074,000, respectively, for state income tax purposes to offset
future taxable income.
These carryforwards were scheduled to expire in future years as
follows:

F-9
The Company has not filed its federal or Florida income tax returns for
the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991 and 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 of assets and liabilities
should 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, 1996 and
1995, such purchased loss carryforwards remaining amounted to
approximately $2,837,000 and $2,837,000, respectively.
(5) DISPOSAL OF THE ASSOCIATION ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The net assets and net liabilities of Haven were confiscated by the
federal government on March 2, 1990.
(6) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On August 5, 1993, Admiral filed a Complaint against the United States
of America in the United States Court of Federal Claims, arising in
part out of contractual promises made to Admiral by the United States'
Government, acting through the Federal Home Loan Bank Board ("FHLBB")
and the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation ("FSLIC")
pursuant to their statutory supervisory authority over federally
insured savings and loan institutions and savings banks (hereinafter
referred to a "thrifts" or "thrift institutions"), and in part out of
takings of property by the FHLBB and FSLIC in the course of exercising
that authority. In this action, Admiral seeks (1) a declaration that
the government's actions constitute a repudiation and material breach
of their contractual obligations to Admiral and, thereby, effect a
taking of Admiral's property without just compensation and a
deprivation of Admiral's property without due process of law, in
violation of the Fifth Amendment, and (2) compensatory damages for the
United States' breach of contract, or (3) rescission of the contract
and restitutionary relief, or (4) compensation for the taking of
Admiral's property, or (5) damages for the deprivation of Plaintiffs'
property without due process of law."
This action was stayed by order of the Court dated September 3, 1993,
pending the en banc decision on rehearing of the Court of Appeal for
the Federal Circuit in WINSTAR CORP., ET AL V. UNITED STATES, a pending
action which Admiral management believes to contain a similar fact
pattern.
On August 30, 1995, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit, in an EN BANC decision, affirmed the summary judgment
decisions by the Court of Federal Claims on the liability portion of
the breach of contract claims against the United States in WINSTAR, and
in two other similar cases (STATESMAN and GLENDALE) which had been
consolidated for purposes of the appeal. In its WINSTAR decisions, the
Court of Federal Claims found that an implied-in-fact contract existed
between the government and Winstar, and that the government breached
this contract when Congress enacted FIRREA. In STATESMAN and GLENDALE,
that Court found that the Plaintiffs had express contracts with the
government which were breached by the enactment of FIRREA.
The federal government appealed the WINSTAR decisions to the United
States Supreme Court. On November 14, 1995, Admiral's action (and all
other similar actions) was stayed by order of the
F-10
Court, pending the outcome of that appeal.
On July 1, 1996, the United States Supreme Court concluded in WINSTAR
that the United States is liable for damages for breach of contract,
affirmed the summary judgment decisions in Winstar, and remanded the
cases to the Court of Federal Claims for further hearings on the
calculation of damages. The majority of the Court found "no reason to
question the Federal Circuit's conclusion that the Government had
express contractual obligations to permit respondents to use goodwill
and capital credits in computing their regulatory capital reserves.
When the law as to capital requirements changed, the Government was
unable to perform its promises and became liable for breach under
ordinary contact principles."
Subsequent to the United States Supreme Court decision in Winstar, the
stay on Admiral's litigation proceedings has been lifted. While the
Supreme Court's ruling in U.S. v. Winstar Corp., et al., serves to
support Admiral's legal claims in its pending lawsuit against the
federal government, it is not possible at this time to predict what
effect the Supreme Court's ruling, and the subsequent rulings of a
lower court concerning damages, will have on the outcome of Admiral's
lawsuit. Notwithstanding the Supreme Court's ruling, there can be no
assurance that Admiral will be able to recover any funds arising out of
its claim and, it any recovery is made, the amount of such recovery.
Admiral is not a party to any other legal proceedings.
