PART I
ITEM 1. Business
General
Calprop Corporation ("Calprop") designs, constructs, and sells
single-family detached homes and townhomes as part of condominiums or planned
unit developments in California and Colorado. The Company selects and acquires
the site, secures construction financing and constructs and sells homes. The
Company also sells improved lots in California and Colorado. The Company selects
projects of varying types in several local markets in an effort to reduce the
risks inherent in the residential housing industry. To enable the Company to
adapt to the changing market conditions and to control its overhead expenses,
the Company performs its construction activities through independent
subcontractors under the direction of on-site construction supervisors employed
by the Company rather than employing a permanent construction work force. The
Company does not generally finance the purchase of its homes, but has done so in
the past to facilitate sales and may do so in the future to the extent it is
feasible, if market conditions require such financing. In addition to the
continuing emphasis on single-family construction, the Company also designs,
constructs, and leases apartments and townhomes in Southern and Northern
California.
During 2002, the Company was primarily engaged in the development of lots,
and the construction and marketing of single-family detached homes and
townhomes. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had three residential housing
projects in various stages of development, consisting of 58 homes and townhomes
under construction (12 were in escrow), 91 lots under development, and 6 model
homes used in selling the various types of housing developed. The Company's
products range from homes for first-time buyers to custom homes. In addition to
the construction and sale of single-family and multifamily housing, the Company
was engaged in the development of apartments and townhomes available for lease.
As of December 31, 2002, the Company has a 68-unit apartment building available
for lease.
Residential Housing Industry
The residential housing industry includes several hundred developers and
home builders of various sizes and capabilities. The development process starts
with the acquisition of a raw parcel of land. The developer prepares preliminary
plans, environmental reports and obtains all necessary governmental approvals,
including zoning and conditional use permits before subdividing the land into
final tract maps and approved development plans. The subdivided parcel is then
graded and the infrastructure of roads, sewers, storm drains, and public
utilities are added to develop finished lots. Building permits are obtained and
housing is constructed, and then sold or rented. Residential housing is
constructed in a variety of types, including single-family detached homes
(ranging from the less expensive "first-time buyer" homes to the medium priced
"trade-up" homes to the more expensive "custom" homes), patio-homes (adjacent
homes with party walls), condominiums (owner-occupied multifamily housing), and
multifamily rental housing (apartments, retirement homes and other types of
nonowner occupied multifamily housing). Any of these types can be built as part
of a planned unit development with common areas such as green belts, swimming
pools and other recreational facilities for common use by occupants.
The Company's Strategy
The Company's strategy has been to acquire land in or near major urban
centers in California and Colorado and to construct single-family housing for
resale. The Company does not specialize in the construction of a specific type
or design of housing and does not limit its operation to any specific location.
The Company usually acquires project sites which are zoned and subdivided so
that the Company can construct and sell single-family housing in a relatively
short period of time, usually two to three years. The Company will also acquire
raw land that is not zoned or subdivided for investment or for
3
development by processing it through the entitlement process to obtain zoning
and other permits necessary for development into single-family housing and other
urban uses.
Future Projects
Land Acquisition - The Company has entered into approximately $14,300,000
in contracts to acquire five properties in two of its current markets in
California, Sonoma County in Northern California and Riverside County in
Southern California. These five properties are zoned for residential development
and can be subdivided into approximately 416 single family detached lots and 77
single family attached units, totaling 493 units. All of these properties are
being purchased subject to obtaining entitlements along with necessary
environmental approvals from local, state and federal agencies. The Company has
obtained term sheets from one or up to three capital sources to acquire each of
these properties. The terms of the contracts provide options for the Company to
acquire the properties from June 2003 to September 2004. The Company plans to
start construction in the third quarter of 2003.
As the Company intends to continue specializing in the construction and
sale of single-family and multifamily housing, the Company is continually
considering potential projects for development. In addition to the construction
and sale of single-family and multifamily housing, the Company has entered the
market to construct and lease single-family and multifamily housing. This market
would provide consistent cash flow in the cyclical industry of real estate
development. The following discussion is the process which the Company follows
to acquire land, entitle, market and build residential housing projects.
Land Acquisition and Construction
In considering the purchase of land for the construction of housing, the
Company takes various factors into account, including, among others, population
growth patterns, availability of utilities and community services such as water,
gas, electricity, sewer, transportation and schools, the estimated absorption
rate for new housing, estimated costs of construction and success of the
Company's past projects in and familiarity with the area.
The Company's long-term strategy is to acquire or option project sites
which are properly zoned and subdivided so that the Company can construct and
sell single-family housing in a relatively short period of time, usually less
than three years, after acquiring the land. Larger projects are constructed in
phases, and the Company determines the number of homes in each phase based upon
the estimated costs of construction and estimated sales schedule. The division
of a project into phases may also be required by the project construction
lender. Although a construction and marketing schedule is established for all
phases at the commencement of a project, the precise timing of construction of
each phase depends on the rate of sales of homes in previous phases.
In certain instances, the Company purchases land which is not
substantially ready for construction. Depending on the stage of development of
the parcel, the Company might be required to obtain necessary entitlements to
subdivide the parcel of land; these entitlements include environmental
clearances, zoning, subdivision mapping, permits and other governmental
approvals. After the entitlement process the Company would then develop the land
through grading lots and streets, and building the infrastructure of water,
sewer, storm drains, utilities, curbs, streets, and possibly amenities, such as
parks, pools and recreational facilities.
The Company acts as its own general contractor, and its supervisory
employees coordinate all work on a project. The services of independent
architectural, design, engineering and other consulting firms are engaged to
assist in the pre-construction aspects of the project. The Company's
construction activities are conducted through independent subcontractors, under
fixed-price contracts, operating in conformity with plans, specifications and
detailed drawings furnished by the Company and under the direction of on-site
construction supervisors employed by the Company. Generally, the Company
solicits bids from several potential subcontractors and awards a contract for a
single phase of a project based on the subcontracting bid as well as the
Company's knowledge of the subcontractor's work and reputation. Subcontracting
enables the Company to retain the necessary flexibility to react to changes in
the demand
4
for housing, and to utilize the management strengths, specialization
capabilities, equipment and facilities of its subcontractors without large
capital investments of its own.
The Company does not have long-term contractual commitments with any of
its subcontractors, consultants or suppliers of materials. The Company selects
subcontractors who it believes will perform the required work in a timely manner
and whose quality of workmanship meets the Company's standards. Although some
subcontractors employ unionized labor, the Company has not signed a master labor
agreement or experienced any significant delays in construction as a result of
strikes or stoppages; however, there can be no assurances that the Company will
not experience such delays in the future.
The Company secures raw materials, fixtures and furnishings directly or
through its subcontractors from customary trade sources. Although certain
products have been in short supply from time to time, such shortages have not
impaired the Company's ability to conduct its business in the past and are not
expected to do so in the foreseeable future.
Marketing
The Company's marketing department coordinates the design of the homes to
be built and the interior design of model units and the design and preparation
of advertising materials. The Company builds, landscapes and furnishes model
units for public display. After each project is sufficiently completed so as to
permit retail sales to begin, the Company selects a realtor or realty company to
market homes which are under construction or completed.
Warranties
The Company provides a one-year express warranty against defects in
workmanship and materials to purchasers of homes in its projects. In addition,
California and Colorado law provides the Company's customers certain implied
warranties, the scope and duration of which exceed the Company's express
warranties. The Company requires its subcontractors to indemnify the Company in
writing and requires the insurance of the subcontractor to provide that the
Company is a primary insured and an additional insured from its subcontractors
for liabilities arising from their work, except for liability arising through
the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Company or from defects in
designs furnished by the Company. Nevertheless, the Company is primarily liable
to its customers for breach of warranty. The Company has builder's product
liability insurance coverage which it believes to be adequate in light of the
Company's claims history.
Schedule II to the financial statements sets forth the Company's warranty
reserves which the Company believes are adequate. Normal warranty costs are
accrued at the close of escrow and held on a project until two years after the
project is completed and all completion bonds posted with governmental agencies
are released.
Financing
Generally, the Company acquires a project site for a purchase price paid
with cash or a combination of cash and short-term acquisition financing secured
by the project site. The amount and terms of financing vary from project to
project.
After final working drawings from architects are prepared, the Company
obtains a construction loan, secured by the portion of the project site to which
the loan relates. The Company's construction loans are used to finance projected
construction costs. In order to obtain the construction loan, the Company must
repay all acquisition financing or obtain a reconveyance of that portion of the
project site which is used to secure the construction loan. The construction
loan is due and payable shortly after completion of the construction being
financed. The Company repays construction financing from the proceeds of project
unit sales. The construction financing provides for release of individual lots
for sale during the term of the financing upon partial repayment of principal in
a specified amount per lot. All cash sales proceeds in excess of the specified
release amount are retained by the Company. If the Company experienced a
5
delay in unit sales following construction and was unable to extend the term of
its construction financing, the Company would be required to repay the
construction financing or obtain other financing in order to hold the unsold
units until market conditions improved. Although the Company does not arrange
third-party financing for its customers, it has provided secured purchase money
financing from time to time to the extent required by market conditions. In
addition, the Company in the future may also subsidize home purchasers, as an
alternative to providing direct financing, by "buying down" the interest rate on
loans from lending institutions, the extent and amount of which would depend
upon prevailing market conditions and interest rate levels at the time.
The Company usually receives the full sales price for its homes in cash at
the closing of purchase escrows. Most of the Company's home purchasers obtain
conventional financing from independent financial institutions. Depending upon
the price range of the homes in a particular project and the prevailing mortgage
market in the area, the financing obtained by the Company's qualifying home
purchasers may be insured either by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA")
or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration ("VA"). As a result of government
regulations, FHA and VA financing of the purchase of homes from the Company is
limited because, among other things, the loan amount may not exceed certain
specified levels.
Competition
The home building industry is highly competitive, particularly in the
large urban areas of California. In each of the areas in which it operates, the
Company competes in terms of location, design, quality, price and available
mortgage financing with numerous other residential construction firms, including
large national and regional firms, many of which have greater financial
resources than the Company. The Company believes that no single competitor
dominates any single market area served by the Company.
Business Risks
The development, construction and sale of single-family homes generally
are subject to various risks, including, among others, possible changes in the
governmental structure of the project locality, possible shortages of suitable
undeveloped land at reasonable prices, unfavorable general and local economic
conditions such as employment conditions and income levels of the general
population, adverse local market conditions resulting from such unfavorable
economic conditions or competitive overbuilding, increases in prevailing
interest rates, increases in real estate taxes and the cost of materials and
labor, and the availability of construction financing and home mortgage
financing attractive to home purchasers. In addition, the demand for residential
housing depends in part on the tax consequences of home ownership to home
purchasers. There have been various tax legislation proposals before Congress
over the past few years which could reduce the tax advantages currently
associated with home ownership. There can be no assurances that any such
legislation, if enacted, would not adversely impact the residential housing
industry in general or the Company's business and results of operations.
The Company's business in particular depends upon the successful
completion of construction and sale of homes on established schedules.
Construction and sale schedules may be adversely affected by a variety of
factors which are not within the Company's control, including the factors
described above, inclement weather conditions, earthquakes, labor and material
shortages and strikes. Although the Company has not experienced any serious
labor or material shortages in recent years, the residential housing industry
from time to time experiences serious labor and material shortages.
Governmental Regulations
The residential housing industry is also subject to increasing
environmental, building, zoning and real estate sales regulation by various
federal, state and local governmental authorities. Such regulations affect home
building by specifying, among other things, the type and quality of building
material which must be used, certain aspects of land use and building design, as
well as the manner in which the Company conducts its sales, lending activities
and other dealings with its customers. For example, the Federal Consumer Credit
Protection Act requires, among other things, certain disclosures to purchasers
6
about finance charges in credit transactions, such as sales financed by the
Company. California law requires that full information concerning certain
subdivisions be filed with the California Real Estate Commissioner, and in such
instances no sales may be made to the public until the Commissioner has issued a
public report which is delivered to purchasers. Because the Company's
competitors are also subject to the foregoing regulation, the Company believes
that it is not placed at a competitive disadvantage, except to the extent that
competitors with greater financial resources and greater volume of development
activity may more readily withstand longer delays and increased costs in the
development of projects.
Although the strategy of the Company is to build homes on land which is
already subdivided, zoned and improved with utilities, the Company occasionally
undertakes projects which entail the subdivision of partially improved land. In
such cases the Company is required to obtain the approval of numerous
governmental authorities regulating such matters as permitted land uses and
levels of population density, access to utility services such as water and waste
disposal, and the dedication of acreage for open space, parks, schools and other
community purposes. Furthermore, changes in prevailing local circumstances or
applicable law, including moratoria, zoning changes and other governmental
actions, can require additional approvals or modification of approvals
previously obtained. As a result of such regulation, the time between the
original acquisition and the commencement and completion of a project can
increase significantly. Furthermore, the commencement or completion of a project
could be precluded entirely, in which case the Company would sustain a
substantial loss on the project.
Employees
The Company has approximately twenty four full-time employees, including
six executive officers, ten persons in its finance, marketing and operations
departments, and eight field superintendents and general laborers at March 28,
2003. The Company also employs temporary and part-time laborers from time to
time as necessary. None of the Company's employees are currently represented by
a collective bargaining unit. The Company compensates its employees with
salaries and fringe benefits that it believes are competitive with the building
industry and the local economy. The Company believes that relations with its
employees generally are excellent.
Licensing
The Company is licensed by the State of California as a general building
contractor, and this license is essential to its operations. This license must
be renewed every two years. The Company's current license expires in July 2004
and the Company expects to renew its license on or before expiration.

6. Mission Gorge (San Diego, San Diego County, California)
In 1987, the Company purchased approximately 200 acres of land in San
Diego. The previous owners, as a part of a group of property owners, had entered
into an option agreement with another developer to acquire the group's property,
upon obtaining an Amended Community Plan for the community in which the property
is located. At the present time, the Amended Community Plan has not been

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion relates to the consolidated financial statements
of the Company and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Statements contained in
this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" that are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements.
Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. You are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
The Company began experiencing difficulties due to the downturn in the
California real estate market during the second quarter of 1990, and through
1996 the Company continued to be impacted by the general economic downturn. In
response to these conditions the Company began utilizing marketing programs
which included price reductions and incentives to potential buyers. During 1997
however, the California real estate market began to experience a recovery. In
general, the Company's products were well received, exemplified by an increase
in the number of units sold subject to construction ("backlog") at December 31,
2002, 2001, and 2000 of 12, 60, and 128 units, respectively compared to 33 units
as of 1996. The decrease in 2002 is primarily due to having fewer completed
homes available for sale. As of December 31, 2002, the Company has entered into
contracts to purchase five new development projects to start construction in
2003. Additionally, the Company's real estate sales increased from $64,238,615
in 2000 to $90,614,622 in 2001, and to $91,641,620 in 2002. The increase in real
estate sales between 2000, 2001, and 2002 is primarily attributable to an
increase in units available for sale resulting from an increase in production.
Units increased from 219 in 2000 to 249 in 2001, and decreased to 248 in 2002.
The Company had a loss of $757,490 from development operations before
recognition of impairment of real estate in 2002 as compared to income of
$7,943,613 in 2001. As a percentage of real estate sales, a loss from
development operations before recognition of impairment of real estate decreased
by 9.6 percentage points to (0.83)% in 2002 compared to 8.77% in 2001. The
Company increased its income from development operations before recognition of
impairment of real estate to $7,943,613 in 2001 from $5,676,912 in 2000. As a
percentage of real estate sales, income before recognition of impairment of real
estate decreased by 0.07 percentage points to 8.77% in 2001 compared to 8.84% in
2000. The significant decrease of income before recognition of impairment of
real estate as a percentage of gross revenues during 2002 results from a slower
absorption rate, and increased production overhead costs. The increased sales
price was not sufficient to offset the increased direct construction cost,
marketing and sales incentives, production overhead and interest costs.
The 2002 impairment loss on real estate development includes the recording
of an impairment loss for three projects. The impairment loss on the Saddlerock
project is primarily a result of the lack of demand of the product lines
resulted in a slower absortion rate. The Company introduced three new product
lines and converted certain upgrades as standards to increase the absorption
rate. The project consisted of 94 homes with five product lines in Aurora,
Colorado. The introduction of the new product lines increased direct
construction cost, marketing, production overhead and interest costs and as a
result the Company recorded an impairment loss on real estate under development
of $1,503,792. As of December 31, 2002, the Company has 55 remaining units to
construct, 20 units under construction, three of which have been sold.
The impairment loss on the High Ridge Court project is primarily a result
of an absorption rate slower than anticipated. The decrease in absorption rate
increased marketing, production and interest costs and as a result the Company
recorded an impairment loss on real estate under development of $1,407,520. As
of December 31, 2002, the Company has 36 remaining units to construct, 28 units
under construction, two of which have been sold.
The impairment loss on the Parc Metropolitan project resulted from actual
sales prices for certain units were lower than anticipated. In addition, the
lack of demand for upgrades and options in the project also impated the sales
revenue and as a result the Company recorded an impairment loss on real estate
under development of $1,560,381. As of December 31, 2002, the Company has 16
units under construction, 7 of which have been sold.
15
The Company developed and constructed a 68-unit affordable apartment, the
Parc West Apartment Homes located in Milpitas, California, adjacent to the Parc
Metropolitan project owned by RGCCLPO. Construction was completed in August 2002
and the 68 units were available for lease. As of December 31, 2002, the
apartment project was 97% leased. For the period ended December 31, 2002, the
apartment project generated $256,117 of rental income and $419,733 of rental
expenses.
In January 2003, the Company sold its 24.5% interest in RGC Carmel
Country, LLC, the ("Joint Venture") to related parties. The Joint Venture
consisted of 181 townhomes available for lease in San Diego. The Company's basis
in the Joint Venture was $0. The proceeds from the sale, in the amount of
$2,000,000, was received in 2002 and was recorded as a deposit at December 31,
2002. The amount will be recognized as income in 2003.
Results of operations
The Company had a loss before income taxes of $7,890,557 in 2002, income
before income taxes of $3,497,848 in 2001, and income before benefit for income
taxes of $3,486,452 in 2000. The net loss suffered in 2002 is primarily a result
of loss from development operations and a reflection of the recognition of asset
impairment of the Parc Metropolitan, High Ridge and Saddlerock projects in the
amount of $4,471,693. The income in 2001 and 2000 is primarily due to increase
in profit from operations as the Company began selling homes in its Parc
Metropolitan project.
Real estate sales increased to $91,641,620 in 2002 from $90,614,622 in
2001, up 1.1%. Real estate sales were $64,238,615 in 2000. In 2002, the Company
sold 248 homes, with an average sales price of $369,523. In 2001, the Company
sold 249 homes, with an average sales price of $363,914. In 2000, the Company
sold 219 homes, with an average sales price of $293,327.
The overall gross profit percentage before recognition of impairment loss
of the Company was (0.8)%, 8.8%, and 8.8% in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.
General and administrative expenses were $2,379,007 in 2002 and $2,924,795
in 2001, down 18.7%. General and administrative expenses were $2,637,496 in
2000. The decrease in 2002 from 2001 is the result of a decrease in payroll
costs, and decreased accounting costs due to the efforts of management to
function more effectively. The decrease is also attributed to the decrease of
the number of projects currently in construction.
During 2002, the Company increased the deferred tax valuation allowance to
offset current year's net income tax benefit of $3,152,732. The provision for
income taxes of $171,742 in 2001 includes the decrease of the deferred income
tax valuation to offset 2001 deferred income taxes of $1,187,934. Benefit for
income taxes of $141,488 in 2000 includes the utilization of unrecognized
deferred income tax benefit of $1,538,994 to offset 2000 income taxes. The
remaining benefit for income taxes of $141,488 represents the net refund
resulting from a claim filed for the carryback of losses related to certain
qualifying expenses incurred in 1994.
Liquidity and capital resources
As of December 2002, the Company has construction loans outstanding to
financial institutions, secured by the development projects' trust deeds, with

Company has an inventory of 91 lots under development. In addition, the Company
has a 68 units apartment building that is substantially leased as of December

Based on its agreements with its lenders, the Company believes that it
will have sufficient liquidity to finance its construction projects in 2003
through funds generated from operations, funds available under its existing bank
commitments, funds generated from new lending institutions, and, if necessary,
funds that could be obtained by using its internally financed real estate
development in process as collateral for additional loans.
Management's plan, with respect to managing cash flow includes the
following components: pay off debt that is coming due in 2003, minimize
operating expenses, and maintain control over costs. With regard to the debt
coming due in 2003, management expects to extend the maturity dates of various
loans and pay the remaining loans off through cashflow from operations, prior to
their maturity date. With regard to minimizing operating expenses, management
plans to achieve this by continuing to closely examine overhead items.
Management anticipates that the funds generated from operations, including
borrowings from existing loan commitments, will be adequate to allow the Company
to continue operations throughout 2003.
Contractual Obligations
Our significant contractual obligations as of December 31, 2002 follows:
Payments Due by Period
- ------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------
2003 2004-2005 2006-2007 After 2007 Total
Long-term debt $27,713,820 $5,000,000 $ $1,000,000 $33,713,820
Opertating leases 216,665 359,869 122,669 699,203
--------------------------------------=============================
Total contractual obligations $27,930,485 $5,359,869 $122,669 $1,000,000 $34,413,023
===================================================================
At December 31, 2002, we had scheduled maturities on existing debt of
$27,713,820 through December 31, 2003. Our ability to make scheduled payments of
principal or interest on or to refinance this indebtedness depends on our future
performance, which to a certain extent, is subject to general economic,
financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. We believe our
borrowing availability under existing credit facilities, our operating cash
flow, and our ability to obtain new borrowings and/or raise new capital, should
provide the funds necessary to meet our working capital requirements, debt
service and maturities and short- and long-term needs based upon currently
anticipated levels of
18
growth. However, limitations on access to financing constrain our ability to
take advantage of opportunities that might lead to more significant growth.
Critical Accounting Policies
In the preparation of our financial statements, we select and apply accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The application
of some of these generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial
statements and accompanying results. The accounting policies that include
significant estimates and assumptions are in the areas of valuing our real
estate under development and rental property and determining if any are
impaired.
We review our real estate under development and rental property for impairment
of value. This includes considering certain indications of impairment such as
significant declines in occupancy, other significant changes in property
operations, significant deterioration in the surrounding economy or
environmental problems. If such indications are present, we estimate the total
future cash flows from the property and compare the total future cash flows to
the carrying value of the property. If the total future cash flows are less than
the carrying value, we adjust the carrying value down to its estimated fair
value. Fair value may be based on third-party appraisals or our estimate of the
property's fair value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On October 3, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144 supercedes SFAS 121 "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of." SFAS 144 applies to all long-lived assets (including discontinued
operations) and consequently amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30
(APB 30), Reporting Results of Operations Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a
Segment of a Business. SFAS 144 develops one accounting model for long-lived
assets that are to be disposed of by sale. SFAS 144 requires that long-lived
assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value
or fair value less cost to sell. Additionally, SFAS 144 expands the scope of
discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations
that (1) can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and (2) will be
eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction.
SFAS 144 is effective for the Company for all financial statements issued in
fiscal 2002. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
In April 2002, FASB issued SFAS 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44,
and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" ("SFAS
145"). The most significant provisions of this statement relate to the
rescission of Statement No. 4 "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of
Debt." SFAS 145 also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make
various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability
under changed conditions. Under SFAS 145, any gain or loss on extinguishment of
debt that was classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods presented
that does not meet certain defined criteria must be reclassified. The provisions
of SFAS 145 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002.
Management does not expect that the adoption of this statement will have a
material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.
In June 2002, FASB issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit
or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146"). SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting
and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and
nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3 "Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity". SFAS
146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. The provisions of SFAS
146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002. Management does not expect that the adoption of this
statement will have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or
financial condition.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN

45 significantly changes the current practice in the accounting for, and
disclosure of, guarantees. Guarantees and indemnification agreements meeting the
characteristics described in FIN 45 are required to be initially recorded as a
liability at fair value. FIN 45 also requires a guarantor to make significant
new disclosures for virtually all guarantees even if the likelihood of the
guarantor having to make payment under the guarantee is remote. The disclosure
requirements within FIN 45 are effective for financial statements for annual or
interim periods ending after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and
initial measurement provisions are applicable on a prospective basis to
guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company adopted the
disclosure provisions of FIN 45 as of December 31, 2002. Management does not
expect the adoption of the initial recognition and measurement provisions will
have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial
condition.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, ("FASB") issued SFAS
148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS
148"). SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS
123") to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that
voluntarily changes to the fair value recognition provision of recording stock
option expense. SFAS 148 also requires disclosure in the summary of significant
accounting policies of the effects of an entity's accounting policy with respect
to stock options on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and
interim financial statements. The Company voluntarily adopted the fair value
recognition provision prospectively, for all employee awards granted or settled
after January 1, 2002. Under this provision, total compensation expense related
to stock options is determined using the fair value of the stock options on the
date of grant and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the option vesting
period. Prior to 2002, the Company accounted for stock options issued under this
plan under the recognition and measurement provision of APB Opinion 25
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and Related Interpretations".
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 clarifies the application of
Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements" and
provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is
achieved through means other than through voting rights ("variable interest
entities" or "VIEs") and how to determine when and which business enterprise
should consolidate the VIE. This new model for consolidation applies to an
entity which either (1) the equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling
financial interest or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to
finance that entity's activities without receiving additional subordinated
financial support from other parties. The provisions of this interpretation are
immediately effective for VIEs formed after January 31, 2003. For VIEs formed
prior to January 31, 2003, the provisions of this interpretation apply to the
first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Management
does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect
on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

Effects of inflation
Real estate has long been considered a hedge against inflation, and
inflation has often contributed to dramatic growth in property values. During
normal markets, the Company has been able to pass increased costs of materials
and labor to its buyers by increasing its sales prices. However, growth in
property values slowed or reversed during 1996, 1997 then again in 2002 in
California, thus preventing the Company from increasing sales prices to cover
increased costs. In 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001 due to the strength and stability
of the economy, the real estate market has experienced increases in sales price
and the number of home buyers.

recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management,
including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of Calprop Corporation:
27
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Calprop
Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2002 and 2001,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002.
Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at
Item 8. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. 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 audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Calprop Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.

FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002
(1) Organization
Nature of operations - Calprop Corporation ("the Company"), a
California Corporation, primarily constructs and sells single-family
detached and attached homes and townhomes as part of condominiums or
planned unit developments in California and Colorado. As of December
31, 2002, the Company had three residential housing projects in
various stages of development, consisting of 58 homes under
construction (12 were in escrow), 91 lots under development, and 6
model homes used in selling the various types of housing developed.
The Company's products range from homes for first-time buyers to
custom homes. In addition to the construction and sale of
single-family and multifamily housing, the Company is engaged in the
development of apartments and townhomes available for lease. As of
December 31, 2002, the Company has a 68-unit apartment building that
is substantially leased.
Basis of presentation - The accompanying financial statements
include the accounts of Calprop Corporation and all its
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated in consolidation. Such statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
The Company has consolidated the financial statements of the
following entities:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Entity Ownership interest at Development
December 31, 2002
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Colorado Pacific Homes, Inc. ("CPH") 100% Real estate in the state of Colorado
DMM Development, LLC ("DMM") 67% Cierra del Lago and Antares projects,
California
Parkland Farms Development Co., LLC 99% 115 lots in Healdsburg, California
("Parkland")
RGCCLPO Development Co., LLC ("RGCCLPO") 100% 382 lots in Milpitas, California
PWA Associates, LLC ("PWA") 100% 68-unit apartment building in Milpitas,
California
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CPH: The Company was entitled to receive eighty percent of the
profits of CPH, and the other partner, an officer of CPH, was
entitled to receive the remaining twenty-percent of the profits.
During November 2001, Calprop obtained all of the officer's
ownership interest in CPH.
DMM: The Company is entitled to receive two-thirds of the profits of
DMM, and the other owner, RGC Courthomes, Inc. ("RGC"), is entitled
to receive the remaining one-third of the profits.
Parkland: Pursuant to the operating agreement of Parkland, Calprop
is entitled to receive ninety-nine percent of the profits of
Parkland, and the other member, an officer of the Company, is
entitled to receive the remaining one percent of the profits.
RGCCLPO: The Company is entitled to receive all of the profits of
RGCCLPO.
PWA: Pursuant to the operating agreement of PWA, Calprop was
entitled to receive fifty percent of the profits of PWA, and the
other member, RGC, was entitled to receive the remaining
fifty-percent of the profits. During May 2001, Calprop purchased all
of RGC's ownership interest in PWA.
During the year ended December 31, 2002, $2,494 of the total loss of
$2,729 incurred by the entities related to the minority interest was
not allocated to the minority interest because the minority interest
had a deficit interest in the Company. The Company does not reflect
the deficit for the minority interest because the minority owners
are not responsible for losses incurred beyond their equity. The
unrecognized minority interest in deficit of the Company as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $68,359 and $65,865, respectively. As
a result, the Company has recorded minority interest of $0 as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001.

FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue and cost recognition - Revenue from real estate sales and
related costs are recognized at the close of escrow, when title
passes to the buyer. Cost of real estate sales is based upon the
relative sales value of units sold to the estimated total sales
value of the respective projects.
The Company reviews the carrying value of its real estate
developments for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not
be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less
than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company recognizes an
impairment loss. During 2002 and 2001, the Company recorded an
impairment loss of $4,471,693 and $2,018,088, respectively (Note 3).
Rental revenue recognition - The Company generally leases its rental
property under one year operating leases. Rental income is
recognized as it is earned on a straight-line basis over the
appropriate lease term.
Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers readily marketable
securities with a maturity of 90 days or less at the date of
purchase to be cash equivalents.
Income taxes - Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
computed for differences between the financial statement and income
tax bases of assets and liabilities. Such deferred income tax asset
and liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates
applicable to periods in which the differences are expected to
reverse. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to
reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.
Office equipment and other - Office equipment and other is stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation. Equipment is depreciated
utilizing the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of
five years.
Rental Property - Rental property is carried at the lower of
historical cost less accumulated depreciation or estimated fair
value. The cost of rental property includes the purchase price or
development costs of the property. Costs incurred for the
acquisition, construction and betterment of the rental property are
capitalized to the Company's investment in that property.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
A property is evaluated for potential impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not
be recoverable. In the event that periodic assessments reflect that
the carrying amount of a property exceeds the sum of the
undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) that are expected to
result from the use and eventual disposition of the property, the
Company would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the
carrying amount exceeded the fair value of the property. The Company
estimates the fair value using available market information or other
industry valuation techniques such as present value calculations.
The Company did not record any impairment loss for the year ended
December 31, 2002.
Depreciation and amortization of building and improvements - The
cost of building and improvements are depreciated on a straight-line
method over the estimated useful life of 40 years.
Warranty reserves - The Company provides a one-year warranty to
purchasers of single-family homes. The Company accrues estimated
warranty costs on properties as they are sold. Estimated warranty
costs are based on historical warranty costs.
In addition to the Company's one-year warranty, California and
Colorado law provides the Company's customers certain implied
warranties, the scope and duration of which exceed the Company's
express warranties. The Company requires its subcontractors to
indemnify the Company in writing and requires the insurance of the
subcontractor to provide that the Company is a primary insured on
their insurance policy and an additional insured from its
subcontractors for liabilities arising from their
35
CALPROP CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002
work, except for liability arising through the sole negligence or
willful misconduct of the Company or from defects in designs
furnished by the Company. Nevertheless, the Company is primarily
liable to its customers for breach of warranty. The Company has
builder's product liability insurance coverage which it believes to
be adequate in light of the Company's claims history.
Employee stock plans - The Company adheres to APB Opinion No. 25 to
account for its stock-based compensation awards to employees and
discloses the required pro forma effect on net income and earnings
per share consistent with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation."
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America 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.
Segment information - The Company's reportable segments consist of
two types of real estate properties for which management internally
evaluates operating performance and financial results: residental
homes for sale and residental rental property for lease. The Company
also has certain corporate level activities including accounting,
finance, and management information systems, which are not
considered separate segments.
Fair value of financial instruments - Management believes the
recorded value of notes payable to financial institutions
approximate the fair market value as a result of variable interest
rates and short-term durations. Management also believes that it is
not practical to estimate the fair value of related-party notes.
Recent accounting pronouncements - On October 3, 2001, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144 supercedes SFAS 121 "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of." SFAS 144 applies to all long-lived assets (including
discontinued operations) and consequently amends Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 30 (APB 30), Reporting Results of
Operations Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a
Business. SFAS 144 develops one accounting model for long-lived
assets that are to be disposed of by sale. SFAS 144 requires that
long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at
the lower of book value or fair value less cost to sell.
Additionally, SFAS 144 expands the scope of discontinued operations
to include all components of an entity with operations that (1) can
be distinguished from the rest of the entity and (2) will be
eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal
transaction. SFAS 144 is effective for the Company for all financial
statements issued in fiscal 2002. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not
have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
In April 2002, FASB issued SFAS 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements
No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections" ("SFAS 145"). The most significant provisions of this
statement relate to the rescission of Statement No. 4 "Reporting
Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt." SFAS 145 also amends
other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various
technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their
applicability under changed conditions. Under SFAS 145, any gain or
loss on extinguishment of debt that was classified as an
extraordinary item in prior periods presented that does not meet
certain defined criteria must be reclassified. The provisions of
SFAS 145 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15,
2002. Management does not expect that the adoption of this statement
will have a material effect on the Company's results of operations
or financial condition.
In June 2002, FASB issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146"). SFAS 146 addresses
financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or
disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue
No. 94-3 "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity". SFAS 146 requires
that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. The
provisions of SFAS 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities
that are
36

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002
initiated after December 31, 2002. Management does not expect that
the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations or financial condition.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45,
"Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees
Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45").
FIN 45 significantly changes the current practice in the accounting
for, and disclosure of, guarantees. Guarantees and indemnification
agreements meeting the characteristics described in FIN 45 are
required to be initially recorded as a liability at fair value. FIN
45 also requires a guarantor to make significant new disclosures for
virtually all guarantees even if the likelihood of the guarantor
having to make payment under the guarantee is remote. The disclosure
requirements within FIN 45 are effective for financial statements
for annual or interim periods ending after December 15, 2002. The
initial recognition and initial measurement provisions are
applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified
after December 31, 2002. The Company adopted the disclosure
provisions of FIN 45 as of December 31, 2002. Management does not
expect the adoption of the initial recognition and measurement
provisions will have a material effect on the Company's results of
operations or financial condition.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, ("FASB")
issued SFAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation--Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS 148"). SFAS 148
amends SFAS 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS
123") to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity
that voluntarily changes to the fair value recognition provision of
recording stock option expense. SFAS 148 also requires disclosure in
the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an
entity's accounting policy with respect to stock options on reported
net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial
statements. The Company voluntarily adopted the fair value
recognition provision prospectively, for all employee awards granted
or settled after January 1, 2002. Under this provision, total
compensation expense related to stock options is determined using
the fair value of the stock options on the date of grant and is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the option vesting period.
Prior to 2002, the Company accounted for stock options issued under
this plan under the recognition and measurement provision of APB
Opinion 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and Related
Interpretations".
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46,
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"). FIN 46
clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
"Consolidated Financial Statements" and provides guidance on the
identification of entities for which control is achieved through
means other than through voting rights ("variable interest entities"
or "VIEs") and how to determine when and which business enterprise
should consolidate the VIE. This new model for consolidation applies
to an entity which either (1) the equity investors (if any) do not
have a controlling financial interest or (2) the equity investment
at risk is insufficient to finance that entity's activities without
receiving additional subordinated financial support from other
parties. The provisions of this interpretation are immediately
effective for VIEs formed after January 31, 2003. For VIEs formed
prior to January 31, 2003, the provisions of this interpretation
apply to the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after
June 15, 2003. Management does not expect that the adoption of this
standard will have a material effect on the Company's results of
operations or financial condition.

==========================================================
(1) Reflects 100% of the units/lots in the project
Investment in joint ventures represents the Company's investment in
Mission Gorge, LLC and RGC Carmel Country Associates, LLC. Such
investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
In 1996, Mission Gorge, LLC, a California limited liability company, was
formed to develop and construct single-family homes and the Company
transferred its Mission Gorge property to the joint venture. In connection
with the formation, the Curci-Turner Company ("Curci"), exchanged a
$2,000,000 note receivable from the Company for a 50% ownership interest
in Mission Gorge, LLC. A principal of the Curci-Turner Company is a
stockholder of the Company.
In 1999, the Company formed RGC Carmel Country Associates, LLC, a
California limited liability company, ("RGC Carmel") with RGC to develop,
construct and lease a 181 townhome project. The profits and losses of RGC
Carmel were distributed between the members as follows: 50% to RGC and 50%
to the Company. During 2000, RGC Carmel admitted additional members in the
following proportions: The John L. Curci Trust as to a 12.5% interest, The
Janet Curci Living Trust No. Il as to a 12.5% interest, and an officer of
the Company as to a 25% interest in exchange for financing for the project
as follows: $2,000,000 in equity and $2,000,000 in notes payable. As a
result, the Company's interest in RGC Carmel was reduced to 25%, which is
accounted for under the equity method of accounting. During 2002, the
Company transferred .5% of its interest in RGC Carmel to Calprop
Andalucia, a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In January 2003,
the Company sold the remaining 24.5% of its interest in RGC Carmel to
related parties in the following proportions: The Janet Curci Living Trust
No. II as to a 6.125%, JAMS Management as to a 6,125%, and an officer of
the Company as to a 12.25%. The Company's interest was sold for $2,000,000
in cash, which was received in 2002 and resulted in recording a deposit of
$2,000,000 as of December 31, 2002. The gain on sale of investment in
joint venture will be recognized in January 2003. The gain will equal the
proceeds received of $2,000,000 as the Company had no basis in the
investment sold. As a result, the Company's interest in RGC Carmel was
reduced to .5%.
During 2002 and 2001, the Company recorded income (loss) from investment
in real estate venture of $109,253 and $(118,764).
Development operations in 2002, 2001 and 2000 are summarized as follows:

============= ============== ==============
The 2002 impairment loss on real estate development includes the recording
of an impairment loss for three projects. The impairment loss on the
Saddlerock project is primarily a result of the lack of demand of the
product lines resulted in a slower absortion rate. The Company introduced
three new product lines and converted certain upgrades as standards to
increase the absorption rate. The project consisted of 94 homes with five
product lines in Aurora, Colorado. The introduction of the new product
lines increased direct construction cost, marketing, production overhead
and interest costs and as a result the Company recorded an impairment loss
on real estate under development of $1,503,792. As of December 31, 2002,
the Company has 55 remaining units to construct, 20 units under
construction, three of which are in escrow for sale. The impairment loss
on the High Ridge Court project is primarily a result of an absorption
rate slower than anticipated. The decrease in absorption rate increased
marketing, production and interest costs and as a result the Company
recorded an impairment loss on real estate under development of
$1,407,520. As of December 31, 2002, the Company has 36 remaining units to
construct, 28 units under construction, two of which are in escrow for
sale. The impairment loss on the Parc Metropolitan project resulted from
actual sales prices for certain units were lower than anticipated. In
addition, the lack of demand for upgrades and options in the project also
impated the sales revenue and as a result the Company recorded an
impairment loss on real estate under development of $1,560,381. As of
December 31, 2002, the Company has 16 units under construction, 7 of which
are in escrow for sale.
The 2001 impairment loss on the Mockingbird Canyon project is primarily a
result of the slow absorption rate. The sales price was not sufficient to
offset the increased marketing and sales incentives, production overhead
and interest costs and as a result the Company recorded an impairment loss
on real estate under development of $2,018,088 during the third quarter of
2001. The Company has 12 units remaining as of December 31, 2001. The
project was completed during 2002.
Rental Property - During 2002, the Company completed construction of a
68-unit apartment project it intended to sell. The Company did not sell
the apartment project and the related cost recorded as real estate under
development were transferred to rental property. The Company started
leasing the apartment during the third quarter of 2002.

============================================
As of December 31, 2002, the Company had gross deferred tax assets of
$11,065,083 offset by a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of
$4,529,740. During 2002, the Company increased the deferred tax valuation
allowance to offset current year's net income tax benefit of $3,152,732 as
it has been determined that is it unlikely that the deferred tax assets
will be utilized. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company
reduced the deferred tax valuation allowance to recognize a deferred
income tax benefit of $35,343. The deferred tax benefit is based upon
expected utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has
assessed its past earnings history and trends, sales backlog, budgeted
sales, and expiration dates of carryforwards and has determined that it is
more likely than not that the $6,535,343 of deferred tax assets will be
realized.
As of December 31, 2002, the Corporation had net operating loss
carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately
$24,164,000 and $9,301,000, respectively. For federal tax purposes the net
operating loss carryforwards expire from 2013 through 2022. For state tax
purposes the net operating loss carryforwards expire from 2005 through
2008.
Benefit for income taxes in 2000 of $141,488 represents the net refund
resulting from a claim filed for the carryback of losses related to
certain qualifying expenses incurred in 1994.

(8) Qualified and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans
The Company has three stock-based compensation plans, which are described
below. The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in
accounting for its stock-based compensation. Accordingly, no compensation
costs have been recognized for its fixed stock option plans during 2002,

for its stock incentive plan was $21,000 in 2002, $52,225 in 2001 and
$61,602 in 2000. Had compensation costs for the Company's stock-based
compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant
dates for awards under those plans consistent with SFAS No. 123, the

The 1992 Director Stock Option Plan authorizes an aggregate amount of
100,000 shares to be granted. Each year, the directors that are members of
the stock option committee are eligible to be granted options to buy 7,500
shares at the market price at the date of grant, exercisable one year
after grant, and expire 10 years after the grant date. Options were not
granted to directors from the 1992 Director Stock Option Plan during 2002.
During 2001 and 2000, 15,000 shares and 15,000 shares, respectively, were
granted under this plan at an exercise prices of $1.13 and $1.27 per
share, respectively. The exercise prices represent the market price at the
date of grant. At December 31, 2002, 30,000 shares were outstanding
related to this plan. In 1996, the Company issued warrants to purchase
150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 that expire
on September 30, 2003. As of December 31, 2002, 150,000 warrants were
outstanding. The weighted-average fair value of the options granted during
2001 and 2000 is $0.46 and $0.61, respectively. The fair value of each
option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for
2001 and 2000, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 6.5 percent for
all years; dividend yield of zero percent for all years; expected lives of
5.0 and 5.0 years; and volatility of 33 and 44 percent.
For the year ended December 31, 2002, options were not included in the
computation of diluted net loss per common share because the effect would
be antidilutive to the net loss in the period. In addition, for the years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, options of 601,700 and 579,700,
respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net income
because their exercise prices were higher than the average market price
per share of common stock.
On March 10, 1998, three officers and a director of the Company exercised
options to purchase a total of 720,000 shares of common stock with a
weighted-average exercise price of $0.8989 per share. The Company received
$199,395 cash from an officer and received $447,813 in notes receivable
from the remaining two officers and the director as a result of the
exercise of these options. The notes receivable accrue interest at 4.987%
and mature on March 10, 2001 and are guaranteed by the officers. The
notes' maturity dates have been extended to March 10, 2004. During 2002,
the director repaid his portion of the note receivable in the amount of
$22,188.
On October 15, 1998, one officer of the Company exercised options to
purchase a total of 10,000 shares of common stock with a weighted-average
exercise price of $0.8125 per share. The Company received a note
receivable for $8,125 from the officer as a result of the exercise of
these options. The note receivable accrued interest at 4.987% and was
guaranteed by the officer. During 2001, the officer partially repaid the
note receivable, with the balance repaid during 2002.
As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, accrued interest for the stock purchase
loans was $102,233 and $86,421 respectively. The stock purchase loans and
the related accrued interest are reflected as reductions to stockholder's
