ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the action styled GARCIA V. DELTONA ET. AL, Case No. 86-03542, filed in the Circuit Court for Dade County, Florida, on January 30, 1986, the plaintiff sought to recover $2,000,000 allegedly paid to the Company on four installment land sales contracts, claiming fraud and misrepresentation on the part of one of the Company's independent sales representatives and other violations of law. The Company had cancelled the contracts in question according to their terms for default of the payment obligations by the purchaser. Although the Company negotiated a settlement of this action which provided for the Company to convey to the plaintiff property which has a value equivalent to the monies paid by the plaintiff to the Company under the cancelled contracts, the plaintiff asserted that the Company has breached the settlement agreement by failing to convey sufficient property which met the criteria of the settlement agreement. The Company believed that the property conveyed complied with such criteria. The plaintiff could have sought a judgment of $5,400,000, plus interest, less the value of the property transferred. On October 27, 1995, the parties resolved and settled their dispute by the Company transferring alternative property for settlement purposes. The Company exchanged releases with the plaintiff, which released the Company from any further obligations, except certain obligations and warranties contained in the modification of settlement agreement.
The Company was previously sued by its former landlord for breach of lease in the action styled FIVE POINTS LIMITED V. THE DELTONA CORPORATION, Case No. 93-22877, filed in the Circuit Court for Dade County, Florida, which has been settled. The Company had entered into a short term lease agreement with the landlord and/or its affiliate for a term of lease of one (1) year with a ninety (90) day cancellation provision. Certain payments were made to the landlord and a letter of credit in the amount of $500,000, now called, was conveyed to the landlord. Funding of the settlement was obtained through a loan to the Company. The Company vacated the premises in September 1995 and neither party owes the other any further duty or obligation.
In the action entitled ESTATE OF BOBINGER, ET AL. V. THE DELTONA CORPORATION, Case No. 87-45051, filed in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Dade County, Florida, the plaintiff sued the Company for breach of contract and for recovery of monies paid on contracts for Marco property that will not be developed by the Company. The matter was settled pending performance of the settlement agreement. In the opinion of the Company, residual obligations of the Company that are due and payable in the future may approximate up to $1,300,000. The Company has provided an allowance for Marco permit costs, which encompasses these obligations. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis" and Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.
In the action styled LEE SU WEN NI ET. AL. V. THE DELTONA CORPORATION AND SCAFHOLDING B.V., Case No. 95-4422-CA-E, filed in the Circuit Court of Marion County, Florida on October 11, 1995, the plaintiff alleges that the liquidated damages provision in the Company's installment contracts for the sale of its properties is unenforceable under Florida Law and contests the method utilized by the Company to calculate actual damages in the event of contract cancellations. As part of the complaint, the plaintiff is seeking certification as a class action, as well as unspecified compensatory damages, together with interest, costs and fees. The Company filed a Motion to Dismiss in response to the plaintiff's complaint. The Court has dismissed the claim of the class representative against the Company and against Scafholding B.V.; however, the Company expects an appeal to ensue. In the event that any future appeal is successful, class certification is authorized and the Company is not successful in its defenses, a substantial claim could be asserted against the Company.
In the action styled BRUCE WEINER V. THE DELTONA CORPORATION, filed in the Circuit Court of Dade County, Florida, Case No. 94- 7825-04, the plaintiff, Bruce Weiner, prior Executive Vice President of the Company, sued the Company on April 28, 1994 for alleged breach of employment contract seeking damages of approximately $750,000 and unspecified employee benefits. The Company settled the matter and a general release was entered into in 1995.
(15)
In the action styled JOSEPH MANCILLA, JR. V. THE DELTONA CORPORATION, files in the Circuit Court of Dade County, Florida, Case No. 94-09116, the plaintiff, Joseph Mancilla, Jr., prior Senior Vice President of the Company, sued the Company on May 17, 1994 for alleged breach of employment contract seeking damages in excess of $391,000 plus an unspecified amount in employee benefits, costs and attorneys' fees. The Company settled the matter and a general release was entered into in 1995. The Company is obligated for certain payments to fulfill settlement obligations through January 1997.
In the action styled MICHELLE GARBIS V. THE DELTONA CORPORATION, the plaintiff, Michelle Garbis, prior Senior Vice President and Corporate Secretary of the Company, sued the Company on August 18, 1994 for alleged breach of employment contract. The Company settled the matter and a general release was entered into in 1995.
In the action styled THEODORE MAUREAU V. THE DELTONA CORPORATION, the Company was sued by a former Vice President and employee asserting breach of an oral contract and a claim based on fraud. The plaintiff asserted unspecified damages and punitive damages. The Company settled the matter and a general release was entered into in 1995.
The Company is also a party to certain other legal and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The outcome will not, in the opinion of the Company, have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company. (16)

ITEM 7
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On June 19, 1992, the Company completed a transaction with Selex, which resulted in a change in control of the Company. Under the transaction, Selex loaned the Company $3,000,000 collateralized by a first mortgage on certain of the Company's property in its St. Augustine Shores, Florida community (the "First Selex Loan"). The First Selex Loan initially bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum with a term of four years and payment of interest deferred for the first 18 months.
In conjunction with the First Selex Loan: (i) Empire of Carolina, Inc. ("Empire") sold Selex its 2,220,066 shares of the Company's Common Stock and assigned Selex its $1,000,000 Note from the Company, with $225,000 of interest accrued thereon; (ii) Maurice A. Halperin, Chairman of the Board of Empire and former Chairman of the Board of the Company, forgave payment of the $200,000 salary due him for the period of April, 1990 through April, 1991, which was in arrears; and (iii) certain changes occurred in the composition of the Company's Board of Directors. Namely, the six directors serving on the Company's Board who were previously designated by Empire resigned and four Selex designees (Messrs. Marcellus H.B. Muyres, Antony Gram, Cornelis van de Peppel and Cornelis L.J.J. Zwaans) were elected to serve as directors in their stead. Marcellus H.B. Muyres was appointed Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. These directors, as well as Leonardus G.M. Nipshagen, a Selex designee, were then elected as directors at the Company's 1992 Annual Meeting and re- elected at the Company's 1993 Annual Meeting.
As part of the Selex transaction, Selex was granted an option, approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock at the Company's 1992 Annual Meeting, to convert the Selex Loan, or any portion thereof, into a maximum of 850,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a per share conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $1.25 or (ii) 95% of the market price of the Company's Common Stock at the time of conversion, but in no event greater than $4.50 per share (the "Option"). However, on September 14, 1992, Selex formally waived and relinquished its right to exercise the Option as to 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to enable the Company to settle certain litigation involving the Company through the issuance of approximately 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to the claimants, without jeopardizing the utilization of the Company's net operating loss carryforward. On February 17, 1994, Selex exercised the remaining full 600,000 share Option at a conversion price of $1.90 per share, such that $1,140,000 in principal was repaid under the First Selex Loan through such conversion. As a consequence of such conversion, Selex holds 2,820,066 shares of the Company's Common Stock (41.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company based upon the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding as of March 22, 1996).
Pursuant to the Selex transaction, $1,000,000 of the proceeds from the First Selex Loan was used by the Company to acquire certain commercial and multi-family properties at the Company's St. Augustine Shores community at their net appraised value, from Mr. Muyres and certain entities affiliated with Messrs. Zwaans and Muyres. Namely, (i) $416,000 was used to acquire 48 undeveloped condominium units (twelve 4 unit building sites) and 4 completed (and rented) condominium units from Conquistador, in which Messrs. Zwaans and Muyres serve as directors, as well as President and Secretary/Treasurer, respectively; (ii) $485,000 was used to acquire 4 commercial lots from Swan Development Corporation ("Swan"), in which Messrs. Zwaans and Muyres also serve as directors, as well as President and Secretary, respectively; and (iii) approximately $99,000 was used to reacquire, from Mr. Muyres, all of his rights, title and interest in a certain contract with the Company for the purchase of a commercial tract in St. Augustine Shores, Florida. None of the commercial land and multi-family property acquired by the Company from Mr. Muyres and certain entities affiliated with Messrs. Zwaans and Muyres collateralizes the First Selex Loan. In March, 1994, Conquistador exercised its right to repurchase certain of the multi-family property from the Company (which right had been granted in connection with the June, 1992 transaction) at a price of (19)
$312,000, of which $260,000 was paid in cash to the Company and $52,000 was applied to reduce interest due to Selex under the Second Selex Loan (the "First Conquistador Acquisition").
In December, 1992, Mr. Gram, a director of the Company and beneficial owner of the Common Stock of the Company held by Selex, acquired all of the Company's outstanding bank debt and then assigned same to Yasawa, of which Mr. Gram is also the beneficial owner. Yasawa simultaneously completed a series of transactions with the Company which involved the transfer of certain assets to Yasawa or its affiliated companies, the acquisition by Yasawa of 289,637 shares of the Company's Common Stock through the exercise of warrants previously held by the banks, the provision of a $1,500,000 line of credit to the Company and the restructuring of the remaining debt as a $5,106,000 Yasawa Loan. Principal repayments aggregating $341,000 have reduced the Yasawa Loan to $4,765,000 as of December 31, 1995. On April 30, 1993, Selex loaned the Company an additional amount of $1,000,000 pursuant to the Second Selex Loan and since July 1, 1993 made further loans to the Company aggregating $4,400,000 under the Third Selex Loan. Principal of $1,000,000 had been repaid under the Second Selex Loan and $1,371,000 under the Third Selex Loan through December 31, 1995. As of December 31, 1995, Yasawa has loaned the Company an additional sum of $4,012,000 pursuant to the Second Yasawa Loan. As a consequence of these transactions, the Company had loans outstanding from Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates on December 31, 1995 in the aggregate amount of approximately $20,378,000. On May 22, 1995, the Company closed a transaction with Conquistador (the "Second Conquistador Acquisition") for the sale of an administration building and a multi-family site in the Company's St. Augustine Shores community as well as the remaining lot inventory in the Company's FeatherNest community at Marion Oaks in consideration for the satisfaction of $2,599,300 of principal and accrued interest on the Second and Third Selex Loans. On that same date, but in a separate transaction, the Company also sold to Conquistador Development Corporation (the "Third Conquistador Acquisition") four single family residential lots in the St. Augustine Shores community for $100,000 in cash. These transactions were accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals for these types of related party transactions. Accordingly, the resulting gain of $1,900,000 was treated as a contribution of capital and recorded directly to capital surplus. The loans from Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. See Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company, Selex and Yasawa entered into loan modification agreements in which all accrued interest was converted into non- interest bearing principal at the earlier of the maturity date or the default date. Accordingly, at December 31, 1995, $4,200,000 of accrued interest was reclassified as principal. The loans were also modified to formalize the elimination of the default interest rate provisions in each of the applicable loan agreements.
The Company has stated in previous filings with the Commission and elsewhere herein that the obtainment of additional funds to implement its marketing program and achieve the objectives of its business plan is essential to enable the Company to maintain operations and continue as a going concern. Since December, 1992, the Company has been dependent on loans and advances from Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates in order to implement its marketing program and assist in meeting its working capital requirements. As previously stated, during the last nine months of 1993, Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates loaned the Company an aggregate of $4,400,000 pursuant to Third Selex Loan. Funds advanced under the Third Selex Loan enabled the Company to commence implementation of the majority of its marketing program in the third quarter of 1993. The full benefits of the program were not realized in 1993 and the Company was unable to secure financing in 1994 to meet its working capital requirements and continue its marketing program. Commencing in 1994, Yasawa advanced additional funds (the "Second Yasawa Loan") totalling $4,012,000 as of December 31, 1995, to meet the Company's minimum working capital requirements, to pay $750,000 in delinquent real estate taxes, to pay settlements with certain trade creditors and to settle certain litigation.
On March 10, 1994, the Company was advised that Selex filed an Amendment to its Schedule 13D with the Commission. In the Amendment, Selex reported that it, together with Yasawa and their affiliates, were uncertain as to whether they would provide any further funds to the Company. The Amendment further stated that Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates were seeking third parties to provide financing for the Company and that as part of any
(20)
such transaction, they would be willing to sell or restructure all or a portion of their loans and Common Stock in the Company.
As a consequence of its liquidity position, the Company has defaulted on certain obligations, including its previously described escrow obligations to the Division pursuant to the Company's 1992 Consent Order and its obligation to make required payments under loans from Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates. Furthermore, the Company has not paid delinquent real estate taxes which aggregate approximately $2,975,000 as of December 31, 1995; non-payment of these delinquent taxes may adversely affect the financial condition of the Company.
The Company is continuing to seek third parties to provide financing. As part of any such transaction, Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates have indicated that they are willing to sell or restructure all or a portion of their loans and Common Stock in the Company. They have also indicated that they are willing to sell their interests in the Company at a significant discount. Consummation of any such transaction may result in a change in control of the Company. There can be no assurance, however, that such transaction will result or that any financing will be obtained. Accordingly, the Company's Board of Directors is also considering other appropriate action given the severity of the Company's liquidity position including, but not limited, to filing for protection under the federal bankruptcy laws. See "Business: Recent Developments", and Notes 1, 5 and 8 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND DECEMBER 31, 1994
REVENUES
Total revenues were $6,688,000 for 1995 compared to $ 8,541,000 for 1994.
Gross land sales were $3,623,000 for 1995 versus $2,994,000 for 1994. Net land sales (gross land sales less estimated uncollectible installment sales and contract valuation discount) increased to $2,394,000 for 1995 from $2,058,000 for 1994. The increase in sales reflects the Company's marketing program which was initiated in 1995.
There were no bulk land sales in 1995 as compared to bulk land sales of $315,000 in 1994. In light of the Company's diminished bulk land sales inventory it is anticipated that in the future the Company will produce a negligible volume of bulk land sales. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources: Mortgages and Similar Debt".
The Company re-entered the single-family housing business in December, 1992. Revenues are not recognized from housing sales until the completion of construction and passage of title. Housing revenues were $1,383,000 for 1995 compared to $2,543,000 in 1994. Housing revenues decreased in 1995 due to the lack of an advertising and promotion program.
The following table reflects the Company's real estate product mix for 1995 and 1994 (in thousands):
Improvement revenues result from recognition of revenues deferred from prior period sales. Recognition occurs as development work proceeds on the previously sold property or customers are exchanged to a developed lot. Improvement revenues totalled $1,052,000 in 1995 as compared to $1,214,000 for 1994. The decrease was due to the Company's financial condition which caused the Company to curtail development in the first quarter of 1994.
Interest income was $1,019,000 for 1995 compared to $1,046,000 for 1994. This decrease is the result of lower escrow balances.
Other revenues were $840,000 for 1995 compared to $629,000 in 1994. Other revenues are generated principally by the Company's title insurance and real estate brokerage subsidiaries.
Included in the 1995 results is an extraordinary gain of $702,000 related to the settlement of the Marco refund obligation.
Included in the 1994 results is a gain of $1,051,000 from the termination of the lease on the Company's corporate headquarters in Miami.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Costs and expenses were $9,593,000 for 1995 compared to $12,447,000 in 1994. Cost of sales totalled $2,432,000 for 1995 versus $3,845,000 for 1994. These decreases are primarily due to lower housing sales in 1995. The Company completed its Compromise and Settlement Agreement program with its trade creditors during the third quarter of 1994. Accordingly, costs and expenses were reduced by approximately $430,000 as a result of these settlements.
In 1995, the Company recorded a provision of $650,000 representing the Company's estimate of its liability to replace or repurchase cancelled contracts receivable under the recourse provisions of its prior sales of contracts and mortgages receivable.
Commissions, advertising and other selling expenses totalled $1,889,000 for 1995 versus $2,608,000 for 1994. Advertising and promotional expenditures decreased to $151,000 in 1995 from $275,000 in 1994 as a result of the reduction in the Company's marketing programs. Other selling expenses decreased to $550,000 in 1995 from $1,595,000 in 1994 as a result of cost reductions.
General and administrative expenses were $1,869,000 in 1995 versus $2,984,000 for 1994. General and administrative expenses have decreased primarily due to overhead reductions and settlement of the Company's lease obligation on its corporate headquarters in October 1994.
Real estate tax expense was $1,111,000 in 1995 compared to $1,163,000 in 1994. Included in real estate tax expense is delinquent interest and administrative fees on 1993 and 1994 delinquent taxes, which accrue interest at 18% per annum.
Interest expense was $1,642,000 for 1995, as compared to $1,847,000 for 1994. The decrease in interest expense is the result of the decrease in debt. No interest was capitalized in 1995 and 1994 since the Company had curtailed land development work at its communities.
(22)
NET INCOME
The Company reported a net loss of $2,203,000 for 1995, compared to a net loss of $3,906,000 for 1994. Included in the 1995 results is an extraordinary gain of $702,000 related to the settlement of the Marco refund obligation. Included in 1994 results is a gain of $1,051,000 from the termination of the lease on the Company's corporate headquarters in Miami.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES
Total revenues were $8,541,000 for 1994 compared to $12,099,000 for 1993.
Gross land sales were $2,994,000 for 1994 versus $3,170,000 for 1993. Net land sales (gross land sales less estimated uncollectible installment sales and contract valuation discount) decreased to $2,058,000 for 1994 from $2,432,000 for 1993. The decrease in sales reflects the curtailment of the Company's marketing program which was limited in 1994.
Bulk land sales were $315,000 in 1994 as compared to bulk land sales of $113,000 in 1993. In light of the Company's diminished bulk land sales inventory it is anticipated that in the future the Company will produce a negligible volume of bulk land sales. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources: Mortgages and Similar Debt".
The Company re-entered the single-family housing business in December, 1992. Revenues are not recognized from housing sales until the completion of construction and passage of title. Housing revenues were $2,543,000 for 1994 compared to $344,000 in 1993.

Improvement revenues result from recognition of revenues deferred from prior period sales. Recognition occurs as development work proceeds on the previously sold property or customers are exchanged to a developed lot. Improvement revenues totalled $1,214,000 in 1994 as compared to $4,725,000 for 1993. The decrease was due to the Company's financial condition which caused the Company to stop development in the first quarter of 1994.
Interest income was $1,046,000 for 1994 compared to $1,197,000 for 1993. This decrease is the result of lower contracts receivable balances.
(23)
Other revenues were $629,000 for 1994 compared to $3,401,000 in 1993. This decrease was the result of the termination of its lease on the Marco Shores Country Club on December 31, 1993 and the sale of Marco Island Realty in November, 1993.
Included in 1994 results is a gain of $1,051,000 from the termination of the lease on the Company's corporate headquarters in Miami.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Costs and expenses were $12,447,000 for 1994 compared to $20,871,000 in 1993. Cost of sales totalled $3,845,000 for 1994 versus $6,441,000 for 1993. These decreases are primarily due to the termination of development work in the first quarter of 1994 and the sale of the Marco Island Realty and the termination of the lease of the Marco Shores Country Club in 1993. Additionally, the Company completed the first phase of its Compromise and Settlement Agreement program with its trade creditors during the third quarter of 1994. Accordingly, costs and expenses were reduced by approximately $430,000 as a result of these settlements.
Commissions, advertising and other selling expenses totalled $2,608,000 for 1994 versus $6,008,000 for 1993. Advertising and promotional expenditures decreased to $275,000 in 1994 from $1,521,000 in 1993 as a result of the reduction in the Company's marketing programs.
General and administrative expenses were $2,984,000 in 1994 versus $3,790,000 for 1993. General and administrative expenses have decreased primarily due to overhead reductions implemented in the first quarter of 1994 and settlement of the Company's lease obligation on its corporate headquarters in October 1994.
Real estate tax expense was $1,163,000 in 1994 compared to $975,000 in 1993. Included in real estate tax expense is delinquent interest and administrative fees on 1992 and 1993 delinquent taxes, which accrue interest at 18% per annum.
Interest expense was $1,847,000 for 1994, as compared to $1,257,000 for 1993, or a 47% increase. Total interest costs (including capitalized interest) were $1,847,000 and $1,421,000 for 1994 and 1993, respectively. The increase in interest expense is primarily the result of the increase in debt. No interest was capitalized in 1994 since the Company had stopped land development work at its communities.
NET INCOME
The Company reported a net loss of $3,906,000 for 1994, compared to a net loss of $8,772,000 for 1993. The 1993 results include a provision for contract cancellations of $2,400,000. Included in 1994 results is a gain of $1,051,000 from the termination of the lease on the Company's corporate headquarters in Miami.
REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS WHICH MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATIONS
In Florida, as in many growth areas, local governments have sought to limit or control population growth in their communities through restrictive zoning, density reduction, the imposition of impact fees and more stringent development requirements. Although the Company has taken such factors into consideration in its master plans, the increased regulation has lengthened the development process and added to development costs.
On a statewide level, the Florida Legislature adopted and implemented the Florida Growth Management Act of 1985 (the "Act") to aid local governments efforts to discourage uncontrolled growth in Florida. The Act precludes the issuance of development orders or permits if public facilities such as transportation, water and sewer services will not be available concurrent with development. Development orders have been issued for, and development has commenced in, the Company's existing communities (with development being virtually completed in certain of these
(24)
communities). Thus, such communities are less likely to be affected by the new growth management policies than future communities. Any future communities developed by the Company will be strongly impacted by new growth management policies. Since the Act and its implications are consistently being re-examined by the State, together with local governments and various state and local governmental agencies, the Company cannot further predict the timing or the effect of new growth management policies, but anticipates that such policies may increase the Company's permitting and development costs.
In addition to Florida, other jurisdictions in which the Company's properties are offered for sale have recently strengthened, or are considering strengthening, their regulation of subdividers and subdivided lands in order to provide further assurances to the public, particularly given the adverse publicity surrounding the industry which existed in 1990. The Company has attempted to take appropriate steps to modify its marketing programs and registration applications in the face of such increased regulation, but has incurred additional costs and delays in the marketing of certain of its properties in certain states and countries. For example, the Company has complied with regulations of certain states which require that the Company sell its properties to residents of those states pursuant to a deed and mortgage transaction, regardless of the amount of the down payment. The Company intends to continue to monitor any changes in statutes or regulations affecting, or anticipated to affect, the sale of its properties and intends to take all necessary and reasonable action to assure that its properties and its proposed marketing programs are in compliance with such regulations, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to timely comply with all regulatory changes in all jurisdictions in which the Company's properties are presently offered for sale to the public.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
MORTGAGES AND SIMILAR DEBT
Indebtedness under various purchase money mortgages and loan agreements is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets, including stock of certain wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The Company, Selex and Yasawa entered into loan modification agreements in which all accrued interest was converted into non- interest bearing principal at the earlier of the maturity date or the default date. Accordingly, at December 31, 1995, $4,200,000 of accrued interest was reclassified as principal. The loans were also modified to formalize the elimination of the default interest rate provisions in each of the applicable loan agreements.
The following table presents information with respect to mortgages and similar debt (in thousands):
Included in Mortgage Notes Payable is the First Selex Loan ($2,722,000 as of December 31, 1995), the Third Selex Loan ($3,825,000 as of December 31, 1995), the Yasawa Loan ($5,829,000 as of December 31, 1995) and the Second Yasawa Loan ($4,341,000 as of December 31, 1995). Other loans include the $1,656,000 Empire note and the $2,005,000 Scafholding Loan.
These mortgage notes payable and other loans are in default as of December 31, 1995 due to the non-payment of principal. The lenders have not taken any other action as a result of these defaults.
On June 19, 1992, Selex loaned the Company the sum of $3,000,000 pursuant to the First Selex Loan. The First Selex Loan is collateralized by a first mortgage on certain of the Company's unsold, undeveloped property in its St.
(25)
Augustine Shores, Florida community. The Loan matures on June 15, 1996 and provides for principal to be repaid at 50% of the net proceeds per lot for lots requiring release from the mortgage, with the entire unpaid balance becoming due and payable at the end of the four year term. It initially bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum, with payment of interest deferred for the initial 18 months of the Loan and interest payments due quarterly thereafter. As part of the Selex transaction, Selex was granted an option, approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock at the Company's 1992 Annual Meeting, which, as modified, enabled Selex to convert the First Selex Loan, or any portion thereof, into a maximum of 600,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a per share conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $1.25 or (ii) 95% of the market price of the Company's Common Stock at the time of conversion, but in no event greater than $4.50 per share (the "Option"). On February 17, 1994, Selex exercised the Option, in full, at a conversion price of $1.90 per share, such that $1,140,000 in principal was repaid under the First Selex Loan through such conversion. As of March 22, 1996, the Company was in default of the First Selex Loan inasmuch as accrued interest in the amount of $42,000 remained unpaid.
One million dollars of the proceeds from the First Selex Loan was used by the Company to acquire certain commercial and multi-family properties at the Company's St. Augustine Shores community at their net appraised value, from Mr. Muyres and certain entities affiliated with Messrs. Zwaans and Muyres. Namely, (i) $416,000 was used to acquire 48 undeveloped condominium units (twelve 4 unit building sites) and 4 completed (and rented) condominium units from Conquistador, in which Messrs. Zwaans and Muyres serve as directors, as well as President and Secretary/Treasurer, respectively; (ii) $485,000 was used to acquire 4 commercial lots from Swan, in which Messrs. Zwaans and Muyres also serve as directors, as well as President and Secretary, respectively; and (iii) approximately $99,000 was used to reacquire, from Mr. Muyres, all of his rights, title and interest in that certain contracts with the Company for the purchase of a commercial tract in St. Augustine Shores, Florida. None of the commercial and multi-family property acquired by the Company from Mr. Muyres and certain entities affiliated with Messrs. Zwaans and Muyres collateralizes the First Selex Loan. In March, 1994, Conquistador exercised its right to repurchase certain multi-family property from the Company (which right had been granted in connection with the June, 1992 Selex transaction) at a price of $312,000, of which $260,000 was paid in cash to the Company and $52,000 was applied to reduce interest due to Selex under the Second Selex Loan (the "First Conquistador Acquisition").
On December 2, 1992, the Company entered into various agreements relating to certain of its assets and the restructuring of its debt with Yasawa, which is beneficially owned by Mr. Antony Gram. The consummation of these agreements, which are further described below, was conditioned upon the acquisition by Mr. Gram of the Company's outstanding bank loan.
On December 4, 1992, Mr. Gram entered into an agreement with the lenders, pursuant to which he acquired the bank loan of approximately $25,150,000 (including interest and fees) for a price of $10,750,000. In conjunction with such transaction, the lenders transferred to Mr. Gram the warrants which they held that entitled the holder to purchase an aggregate of 277,387 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Immediately after the acquisition of the bank loan, Mr. Gram transferred all of his interest in the bank loan, including the warrants, to Yasawa.
On December 11, 1992, the Company consummated the December 2, 1992 agreements with Yasawa. Under these agreements, Yasawa, its affiliates and the Company agreed as follows: (i) the Company sold certain property at its Citrus Springs community to an affiliate of Yasawa in exchange for approximately $6,500,000 of debt reduction credit; (ii) an affiliate of Yasawa and the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with respect to the Citrus Springs property, providing for the Company to market such property and receive an administration fee from the venture (in March, 1994, the Company and the affiliate agreed to terminate the venture); (iii) the Company sold certain contracts receivable at face value to an affiliate of Yasawa for debt reduction credit of approximately $10,800,000; (iv) the Company sold the Marco Shores Country Club and Golf Course to an affiliate of Yasawa for an aggregate sales price of $5,500,000, with the affiliate assuming an existing first mortgage of approximately
(26)
$1,100,000 and the Company receiving debt reduction credit of $2,400,000, such that the Company obtained cash proceeds from this transaction of $2,000,000, which amount was used for working capital; (v) an affiliate of Yasawa agreed to lease the Marco Shores Country Club and Golf Course to the Company for a period of approximately one year; (vi) an affiliate of Yasawa and the Company agreed to amend the terms of the warrants to increase the number of shares issuable upon their exercise from 277,387 shares to 289,637 shares and to adjust the exercise price to an aggregate of approximately $314,000; (vii) Yasawa exercised the warrants in exchange for debt reduction credit of approximately $314,000; (viii) Yasawa released certain collateral held for the bank loan; (ix) an affiliate of Yasawa agreed to make an additional loan of up to $1,500,000 to the Company, thus providing the Company with a future line of credit (all of which was drawn and outstanding as of March 22, 1996); and (x) Yasawa agreed to restructure the payment terms of the remaining $5,106,000 of the bank loan as a loan from Yasawa (the "Yasawa Loan").
The Yasawa Loan bears interest at the rate of 11% per annum, with payment of interest deferred until December 31, 1993, when only accrued interest became payable. Commencing January 31, 1994, principal and interest became payable monthly, with all unpaid principal and accrued interest being due and payable on December 31, 1997. As of March 22, 1996, $5,948,000 in principal and accrued interest was in default under the Yasawa Loan.
On April 30, 1993 Selex loaned the Company an additional $1,000,000 collateralized by a first mortgage on certain of the Company's property in its Marion Oaks, Florida community (the "Second Selex Loan"). Interest under the Second Selex Loan was 11% per annum, deferred until December 31, 1993, and principal was to be repaid at $3,000 per lot for lots requiring release from the mortgage, with the entire unpaid principal balance and interest accruing from January 1, 1994 to April 30, 1994 due and payable on April 30, 1994. Although Selex had certain conversion rights under the Second Selex Loan in the event the Company sold any Common Stock or Preferred Stock prior to payment in full of all amounts due to Selex under the Second Selex Loan, such rights were voided. The Second Selex Loan was satisfied on May 22, 1995 through the closing of the Second Conquistador Acquisition, discussed below.
From July 9, 1993 through December 31, 1993, Selex loaned the Company an additional $4,400,000 collateralized by a second mortgage on certain of the Company's property on which Selex and/or Yasawa hold a first mortgage pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated July 14, 1993 and amendments thereto (the "Third Selex Loan"). The Third Selex Loan bears interest at 11% per annum, with interest deferred until December 31, 1993. Principal is to be repaid at $3,000 per lot for lots requiring release from the mortgage, with the entire unpaid principal balance and interest accruing from January 1, 1994 to April 30, 1994 due and payable on April 30, 1994. The Second Conquistador Acquisition, discussed below, closed on May 22, 1995, provided a reduction of the debt due and payable under the Third Selex Loan. As of March 22, 1996, $1,371,000 in principal had been repaid under the Third Selex Loan. As of March 22, 1996, the remaining principal balance of $3,825,000 and accrued interest of $76,000 remained unpaid and in default.
In February, 1994, Yasawa loaned the Company an additional amount of approximately $514,900 at an interest rate of 8% per annum (the "Second Yasawa Loan"). Since May, 1994, additional amounts were advanced to the Company under the Second Yasawa Loan to enable the Company to pay certain essential expenses, including payment of certain real estate taxes, and effectuate settlements with the Company's principal creditors. As of March 22, 1996, an aggregate amount of $4,012,000 had been advanced to the Company under the Second Yasawa Loan and the principal balance of $4,341,000 and accrued interest of $73,000 remains unpaid.
On May 22, 1995, the Company closed a transaction with Conquistador (the "Second Conquistador Acquisition") for the sale of an administration building and a multi-family site in the Company's St. Augustine Shores community as well as the remaining lot inventory in the Company's FeatherNest community at Marion Oaks in consideration for the satisfaction of $2,599,300 of principal and accrued interest on the Second and Third Selex Loans. In a separate transaction which also closed on the same date, the Company sold to Conquistador (the "Third Conquistador Acquisition") four single family residential lots in the St. Augustine Shores community for $100,000 in cash. These transactions were accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals for these
(27)
types of related party transactions. Accordingly, the resulting gain of $1,900,000 was treated as a contribution of capital and recorded directly to capital surplus.
As previously stated, Messrs. Muyres and Zwaans also serve as directors and executive officers of M&M First Coast Realty ("M&M"). The Company had leased certain office space to M&M at its St. Augustine Shores community pursuant to a Lease Agreement dated August 10, 1990. A payment of approximately $21,300 in delinquent rental payments was made on May 22, 1995 upon the closing of the Second Conquistador Acquisition, which included the sale of the St. Augustine Administration Building to which the lease pertained.
At December 31, 1995, $4,200,000 of accrued interest due to Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates was reclassified as non-interest bearing principal. Through March 22, 1996, $1,140,000 in principal was repaid under the First Selex Loan through the exercise of the above described Option, the Second Selex Loan was repaid in full, $1,371,000 in principal was repaid under the Third Selex Loan, and $135,900 in principal and $346,000 in accrued interest was repaid under the Yasawa loan. As of March 22, 1996, the Company had loans outstanding from Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates in the aggregate amount of approximately $20,757,000, including interest, all of which are in default, including approximately $8,349,600, which is owed to Selex, including accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $145,900 (10% per annum on the First Selex Loan, 11% per annum on the Third Selex Loan and 12% per annum on the $1,000,000 Empire Note assigned to Selex); approximately $10,361,800, which is owed to Yasawa, including accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $192,500 (11% per annum on the Yasawa Loan and 8% per annum on the Second Yasawa Loan); and approximately $2,046,000, which is owed to an affiliate of Yasawa, including accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $41,000 (12% per annum). The loans from Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.
On March 10, 1994, the Company was advised that Selex filed an Amendment to its Schedule 13D filed with the Commission. In the Amendment, Selex reported that it, together with Yasawa and their affiliates, were uncertain as to whether they would provide any further funds to the Company. The Amendment further stated that Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates were seeking third parties to provide financing for the Company and that as part of any such transaction, they would be willing to sell or restructure all or a portion of their loans and Common Stock in the Company.
The Company has stated in previous filings with the Commission and elsewhere herein that the obtainment of additional funds to implement its marketing program and achieve the objectives of its business plan is essential to enable the Company to maintain operations and continue as a going concern. Since December, 1992, the Company has been dependent on loans and advances from Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates in order to implement its marketing program and assist in meeting its working capital requirements. As previously stated, during the last nine months of 1993, Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates loaned the Company an aggregate of $4,400,000 pursuant to Third Selex Loan. Funds advanced under the Third Selex Loan enabled the Company to commence implementation of the majority of its marketing program in the third quarter of 1993. The full benefits of the program were not realized in 1993 and the Company was unable to secure financing in 1994 to meet its working capital requirements and continue its marketing program. Commencing in 1994, Yasawa advanced additional funds (the "Second Yasawa Loan") totalling $4,012,000 as of December 31, 1995, to meet the Company's minimum working capital requirements, to pay $750,000 in delinquent real estate taxes, to pay settlements with certain trade creditors and to settle certain litigation.
As a consequence of its liquidity position, the Company has defaulted on certain obligations, including its previously described escrow obligations to the Division pursuant to the Company's 1992 Consent Order and its obligation to make required payments under loans from Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates. Furthermore, the Company has not paid delinquent real estate taxes which aggregate approximately $2,975,000 as of December 31, 1995; non-payment of these delinquent taxes may adversely affect the financial condition of the Company.
(28)
The Company is continuing to seek third parties to provide financing. As part of any such transaction, Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates have indicated that they are willing to sell or restructure all or a portion of their loans and Common Stock in the Company. They have also indicated that they are willing to sell their interests in the Company at a significant discount. Consummation of any such transaction may result in a change in control of the Company. There can be no assurance, however, that such transaction will result or that any financing will be obtained. Accordingly, the Company's Board of Directors is also considering other appropriate action given the severity of the Company's liquidity position including, but not limited, to filing for protection under the federal bankruptcy laws. See "Business: Recent Developments" and Notes 1, 5 and 8 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
CONTRACTS AND MORTGAGES RECEIVABLE SALES
In December, 1992, as described above, the Company sold $10,800,000 of contracts and mortgages receivable to an affiliate of Yasawa at face value, applying the proceeds therefrom to reduce the Bank Loan acquired by Yasawa.
In March , 1993, the Company transferred $1,600,000 in contracts and mortgages receivable generating approximately $1,059,000 in proceeds to the Company, which was used for working capital and the creation of a holdback account in the amount of $150,000. As of December 31, 1995, the balance of the holdback account as approximately $108,000.
In June, 1992 and February, 1990, the Company completed sales of contracts and mortgages receivable totalling $13,500,000 and $17,000,000, respectively, which generated approximately $8,000,000 and $13,900,000 respectively, in net proceeds to the Company. The anticipated costs of the June, 1992 transaction were included in the extraordinary loss from debt restructuring for 1991 since the restructuring was dependent on the sale. The Company recorded a loss of $600,000 on the February, 1990 sale. In conjunction with these sales the Company granted the purchaser a security interest in certain additional contracts receivable of approximately $2,700,000 and conveyed all of its rights, title and interest in the property underlying such contracts to a collateral trustee. In addition, these transactions, among other things require that the Company replace or repurchase any receivable that becomes 90 days delinquent upon the request of the purchaser. Such requirement can be satisfied from contracts in which the purchaser holds a security interest (approximately $1,388,000 as of December 31, 1995). The purchaser of these receivables experienced financial difficulty and filed in 1994 for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. In November 1995, the purchaser of these receivables sold the portfolio to Finova Capital Corporation. The Company is unable to determine what effect this will have, if any, on future cancellations, since it is unable to determine how the bankruptcy or the subsequent sale of the portfolio will impact servicing and collection procedures and the customers' determination to continue to pay under those contracts. The Company has fully reserved for the amount of the holdback account and the estimated future cancellations based on the Company's historical experience for receivables the Company services. However, due to the uncertainty noted above, the Company does not feel there is sufficient information to estimate future cancellations and is unable to determine the adequacy of its reserves to replace or repurchase receivables that become delinquent. The Company was unable to replace or repurchase $1,148,000 in delinquent contracts in 1994 and $524,000 in delinquent contracts in 1995, which amounts were deducted from the deposit held by the purchaser of the receivables as security. In addition, the Company was unable to replace or repurchase $613,000 in delinquent receivables in 1995; however, a replacement of $293,000 in receivables was made in January, 1996.
The Company was the guarantor of approximately $15,653,000 of contracts receivable sold or transferred as of December 31, 1995, for the transactions described above, and had $108,000 on deposit with purchasers of the receivables as security to assure collectibility as of such date. A provision of $650,000 has been established for the Company's obligation under the recourse provisions. The Company has been in compliance with all receivable transactions since the consummation of sales.
(29)
The Company anticipates that it will be necessary to complete additional sales and financings of a portion of its receivables in 1996. There can be no assurance, however, that such sales and/or financings can be accomplished.
OTHER OBLIGATIONS
As a result of the delays in completing the land improvements to certain property sold in certain of its Central and North Florida communities, the Company fell behind in meeting its contractual obligations to its customers. In connection with these delays, the Company, in February, 1980, entered into a Consent Order with the Division which provided a program for notifying affected customers. The Consent Order, which was restated and amended, provided a program for notifying affected customers of the anticipated delays in the completion of improvements (or, in the case of purchasers of unbuildable lots in certain areas of the Company's Sunny Hills community, the transfer of development obligations to core growth areas of the community); various options which may be selected by affected purchasers; a schedule for completing certain improvements; and a deferral of the obligation to install water mains until requested by the purchaser. Under an agreement with Topeka, Topeka's utility companies have agreed to furnish utility service to the future residents of the Company's communities on substantially the same basis as such services were provided by the Company. The Consent Order also required the establishment of an improvement escrow account as assurance for completing such improvement obligations.
In June, 1992, the Company entered into the 1992 Consent Order with the Division, which replaced and superseded the original Consent Order, as amended and restated. Among other things, the 1992 Consent Order consolidated the Company's development obligations and provided for a reduction in its required monthly escrow obligation to $175,000 from September, 1992 through December, 1993. Beginning January, 1994 and until development is completed or the 1992 Consent Order is amended, the Company is required to deposit $430,000 per month into the escrow account. As part of the assurance program under the 1992 Consent Order, the Company and its lenders granted the Division a lien on certain contracts receivable (approximately $9,537,600 as of December 31, 1995) and future receivables. The Company defaulted on its obligation to escrow $430,000 per month for the period of January, 1994 through the present and, in accordance with the 1992 Consent Order, collections on Division receivables were escrowed for the benefit of purchasers from March 1, 1994 through April 30, 1994. In May, 1994 the Company implemented a program to exchange purchasers who contracted to purchase property which is undeveloped to property which is developed. As of March 22 1996, approximately 83% of the customers whose lots are currently undeveloped have opted to exchange. Consequently, the Division has allowed the Company to utilize collections on receivables since May 1, 1994. Because of the Company's default, the Division could also exercise other available remedies under the 1992 Consent Order, which remedies entitle the Division, among other things, to halt all sales of registered property.
The Company's goal is to eliminate its development obligation (with the exception of its maintenance obligation in Marion Oaks and Sunny Hills) under the 1992 Consent Order through this exchange program, completion of two commercial areas in Marion Oaks, sale of its second Citrus Springs Golf Course (with the buyer assuming the development obligation) and settlement of all remaining maintenance and improvements obligations in Citrus Springs through a final agreement with Citrus County (entered into in May 1995). Pursuant to the 1992 Consent Order, the Company has limited the sale of single-family lots to lots which front on a paved street and are ready for immediate building.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had estimated development obligations of approximately $1,295,000 on sold property, an estimated liability to provide title insurance and deeding costing $1,217,000 and an estimated cost of street maintenance, prior to assumption of such obligations by local governments, of $1,150,000, all of which are included in deferred revenue. The total cost to complete improvements at December 31, 1995 to lots subject to the 1992 Consent Order, including the previously mentioned obligations, and to all lots, sold and unsold, including the St. Augustine Shores community, was estimated to be approximately $14,449,000. As of December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 the Company had in escrow approximately $489,000 and $911,000, respectively, specifically for land improvements at certain of its Central and North Florida communities.
(30)
The Company's continuing liquidity problems have precluded the timely payment of the full amount of its real estate taxes. On properties where customers have contractually assumed the obligation to pay into a tax escrow maintained by the Company, the Company has and will continue to pay delinquent real estate taxes as monies are collected from customers. Delinquent real estate taxes aggregated approximately $2,975,000 as of December 31, 1995.
The Company's corporate performance bonds to assure the completion of development at its St. Augustine Shores community expired in March and June, 1993. Such bonds cannot be renewed due to a change in the policy of the Board of County Commissioners of St. Johns County which precludes allowing any developer to secure the performance of development obligations by the issuance of corporate bonds. In the event that St. Johns County elects to undertake and complete such development work, the Company would be obligated with respect to 1,000 improved lots at St. Augustine Shores in the amount of approximately $6,200,000. The Company intends to submit an alternative assurance program for the completion of such development and improvements to the County for its approval.
On September 30, 1988, the Company entered into an agreement with Citrus County, Florida to establish the procedure for transferring final maintenance responsibilities for roads in the Company's Citrus Springs subdivision to Citrus County. The agreement obligated the Company to complete certain remedial work on previously completed improvements within the Citrus Springs subdivision by June 1, 1991. The Company was unable to complete this work by the specified date and negotiated another agreement with Citrus County for the transfer of final maintenance responsibility for the roads to the County. This final agreement was entered into in May 1995.
In 1992, the Company conveyed certain properties to the former landlord in satisfaction of its outstanding lease obligations for its executive office building in Miami, Florida. The Company also entered into a modification of its lease agreement, providing for a reduction of its rental expenses through March 31, 1994, at which time the Company would have the option of acquiring the leased premises or reinstating the lease according to its original terms. The modification provided that should the landlord sell the leased premises to a third party at any time the lease, or any modification thereof, is in effect, then the lease with the Company would be cancelled. In December, 1993, the landlord filed suit against the Company alleging that the Company defaulted in its obligation to make rental payments under the lease and sought to accelerate lease payments. The Company completed a settlement of this litigation on October 27, 1994 as a result of funds being advanced under the Second Yasawa Loan and the posting of a letter of credit by Mr. Antony Gram, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. See "Business: Recent Developments" and "Legal Proceedings".
The Company had placed certain properties in trust to meet its refund obligations to Marco customers affected by the permit denials. On September 14, 1992, the Circuit Court of Dade County, Florida approved a settlement of certain class action litigation instituted by customers affected by the Marco permit denials, under the terms of which the Company was required, among other things, to convey more than 120 acres of multi-family and commercial land that had been placed in trust to the trustee of the 809 member class. As part of the settlement, the Company guaranteed the amount to be realized from the sale of the conveyed property, not to exceed $2,000,000. Such settlement enabled the Company to resolve the claims of an additional 12.7% of its affected customers and re- evaluate the allowance for Marco permit costs. As a result of such analysis, the Company was able to reduce such allowance by $12,200,000, resulting in a $3,983,000 extraordinary gain in 1992 and a $500,000 credit to accrued expenses to be credited to paid-in capital following issuance of 250,000 shares of restricted Common Stock of the Company to the class members. Following the closing on a majority of the property conveyed to the trust, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of $702,000 resulting from a reduction in the amount of its guarantee pursuant to the settlement agreement. At December 31, 1995, $1,349,000 remained in the allowance for Marco permit costs, including $39,000 relating to interest accrued on such obligations. Based upon the Company's experience with affected customers, the Company believes that its total obligations to the three remaining affected customers will not materially exceed the amount provided for in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

LIQUIDITY
Since 1986, the Company has directed its marketing efforts to rebuilding retail land sales in an attempt to obtain a more stable income stream and achieve a balanced growth of retail land sales and bulk land sales. Retail land sales typically have a higher gross profit margin than bulk land sales and the contracts receivable generated from retail land sales provide a continuing source of income. However, retail land sales also have traditionally produced negative cash flow through the point of sale. This is because the marketing and selling expenses have generally been paid prior to or shortly after the point of sale, while the land is generally paid for in installments. The Company's ability to rebuild retail land sales has been substantially dependent on its ability to sell or otherwise finance contracts receivable and/or secure other financing sources to meet its cash requirements.
To alleviate the negative cash flow impact arising from retail land sales while attempting to rebuild its sales volume, the Company implemented several new marketing programs which, among other things, adjusted the method of commission payments and required larger down payments. However, the nationwide economic recession, which was especially pronounced in the real estate industry, adverse publicity surrounding the industry which existed in 1990, the resulting, more stringent regulatory climate, and worldwide economic uncertainties have severely depressed retail land sales beginning in mid-1990 and continuing thereafter, resulting in a continuing liquidity crisis.
Because of this severe liquidity crisis, the Company ceased development work late in the third quarter of 1990 and did not resume development work until the third quarter of 1992. From September 29, 1990 through the fourth quarter of 1991, when the Company ceased selling undeveloped lots, sales of undeveloped lots were accounted for using the deposit method. Under this method, all payments were recorded as a customer deposit liability. In addition, because of the increasing trend in delinquencies during 1990, since the beginning of 1991, the Company has not recognized any sale until 20% of the contract sales price has been received. As a result, the reporting and recognition of revenues and profits on a portion of the Company's retail land sales contracts is being delayed. See Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The continued economic recession and the increasing adverse effects of such recession on the Florida real estate industry not only resulted in the Company's sales remaining at depressed levels, but caused greater contract cancellations in 1991, particularly in the second half of the year, than were anticipated. Such cancellations required the Company to record an additional provision to its allowance for uncollectible sales of approximately $12,200,000 in the 1991 third quarter, impacting net income by approximately $8,900,000. While the Company is making every effort to reduce its cancellations, the Company could be required to record additional provisions in the future.
In December, 1992, the Company's bank debt was acquired by Mr. Gram and assigned to Yasawa. Through the sale of certain assets to Yasawa and its affiliates, including certain contracts receivable, and the exercise of the warrants by Yasawa, the Company was able to reduce such remaining debt from approximately $25,150,000 (including interest and fees) to approximately $5,106,000. During 1994, the Yasawa Loan was reduced to 4,764,600. The agreement with Yasawa also provided the Company with a future line of credit of $1,500,000, all of which is drawn and outstanding as of December 31, 1995. During 1993, Selex loaned the Company an additional $5,400,000 pursuant to the Second and Third Selex Loans, of which $3,825,000 was outstanding as of December 31, 1995, and Yasawa loaned the Company an additional $4,012,000, pursuant to the Second Yasawa Loan, which had an outstanding balance of $4,341,000 as of December 31, 1995. The loans from Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets.
On March 10, 1994, the Company was advised that Selex filed an Amendment to its Schedule 13D with the Commission. In the Amendment, Selex reported that it, together with Yasawa and their affiliates, were uncertain as to whether they would provide any further funds to the Company. The Amendment further stated that Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates were seeking third parties to provide financing for the Company and that as part of any such transaction, they would be willing to sell or restructure all or a portion of their loans and Common Stock in the Company.
(32)
The Company has stated in previous filings with the Commission and elsewhere herein that the obtainment of additional funds to implement its marketing program and achieve the objectives of its business plan is essential to enable the Company to maintain operations and continue as a going concern. Since December, 1992, the Company has been dependent on loans and advances from Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates in order to implement its marketing program and assist in meeting its working capital requirements. As previously stated, during the last nine months of 1993, Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates loaned the Company an aggregate of $4,400,000 pursuant to Third Selex Loan. Funds advanced under the Third Selex Loan enabled the Company to commence implementation of the majority of its marketing program in the third quarter of 1993. The full benefits of the program were not realized in 1993 and the Company was unable to secure financing in 1994 to meet its working capital requirements and continue its marketing program. Commencing in 1994, Yasawa advanced additional funds (the "Second Yasawa Loan") a totalling $4,012,000 as of December 31, 1995, to meet the Company's minimum working capital requirements, to pay $750,000 in delinquent real estate taxes, to pay settlements with certain trade creditors and to settle certain litigation.
As a consequence of its liquidity position, the Company has defaulted on certain obligations, including its previously described escrow obligations to the Division pursuant to the Company's 1992 Consent Order and its obligation to make required interest payments under loans from Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates. Furthermore, the Company has not paid delinquent real estate taxes which aggregate approximately $2,975,000 as of December 31, 1995; non-payment of these delinquent taxes may adversely affect the financial condition of the Company.
The Company is continuing to seek third parties to provide financing. As part of any such transaction, Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates have indicated that they are willing to sell or restructure all or a portion of their loans and Common Stock in the Company. They have also indicated that they are willing to sell their interests in the Company at a significant discount. Consummation of any such transaction may result in a change in control of the Company. There can be no assurance, however, that such transaction will result or that any financing will be obtained. Accordingly, the Company's Board of Directors is also considering other appropriate action given the severity of the Company's liquidity position including, but not limited, to filing for protection under the federal bankruptcy laws. See "Business: Recent Developments" and Notes 1, 5 and 8 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF THE DELTONA CORPORATION:
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of The Deltona Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related statements of consolidated operations, consolidated stockholders' equity (deficiency) and consolidated cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from 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 referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred substantial operating losses and has continued to experience liquidity crises, causing the Company to be unable to meet certain contractual obligations and has a stockholders' deficiency at December 31, 1995. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation - Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements of The Deltona Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has incurred a loss from operations for 1993 of $8,772,000, for 1994 of $3,906,000 and for 1995 of $2,905,000, resulting in a stockholders' deficiency of $17,013,000 as of December 31, 1995. The Company has continued to experience liquidity problems, causing it to be unable to fully meet certain contractual obligations, primarily relating to the repayment of debt, payment of real estate taxes and the completion of improvements. The Company must obtain additional financing to accomplish the objectives of satisfying or substantially reducing its current debt obligations and provide the financial stability that will allow the Company to accomplish the objectives of a successful business plan.
Following the completion of the restructuring of its bank debt in 1992 (see Note 5), the Company commenced the implementation of its business plan by undertaking a new marketing program which included the Company's re-entry into the single-family housing business. To accomplish the objectives of its business plan required the Company to obtain financing during 1994 and 1995 and will require the Company to obtain additional financing in 1996. The transactions described in Note 5 with Selex International, B.V., a Netherlands corporation ("Selex"), Yasawa Holdings, N.V., a Netherlands Antilles corporation ("Yasawa"), and their affiliates provided the Company with a portion of its financing requirements enabling the Company to commence implementation of the marketing program and attempt to accomplish the objectives of its business plan, but additional financing will be required in 1996. Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates are uncertain as to whether they will provide any further funds to the Company. While the Company, together with Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates, is seeking third parties to provide financing for the Company and, as part of any such transaction, Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates have indicated their willingness to sell or restructure all or a portion of their loans and Common Stock in the Company, such financing has not yet become available. As a consequence of its liquidity position, the Company has defaulted on certain obligations, including its escrow account obligations to the State of Florida, Department of Business Regulation, Division of Land Sales, Condominiums and Mobile Homes (the "Division") pursuant to the Company's 1992 Consent Order with the Division (the "1992 Consent Order"), its obligation to pay certain real estate taxes, and its obligation to make required payments under loans from Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates. (See Notes 5 and 8.)
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to timely secure the necessary financing to resolve its liquidity situation or that a new business plan will be successfully implemented. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Company can continue as a going concern. In the event that these matters are not successfully addressed, the Company's Board of Directors will consider other appropriate action given the severity of the Company's liquidity position, including, but not limited to, filing for protection under the federal bankruptcy laws. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Notes 5 and 8 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of asset amounts or the amounts of liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. (42)

Significant Accounting Policies
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.
Since 1986, the Company has used a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the last Friday of the year. The year ended December 31, 1993 contained 53 weeks, and the years ended December 25, 1992 and December 27, 1991 contained 52 weeks. Commencing in 1994, the Company returned to a fiscal year ended December 31.
The Company sells homesites under installment contracts which provide for payments over periods ranging from 2 to 10 years. Sales of homesites are recorded under the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate" ("FASB No. 66"). Since 1991, the Company has not recognized a sale until it has received 20% of the contract sales price. During 1995, approximately 72% of sales were through a single independent dealer in New York.
Because of the severe liquidity crisis faced by the Company as discussed above, the Company ceased development work late in the third quarter of 1990. From September 29, 1990 through the fourth quarter of 1991, all sales of undeveloped lots were accounted for using the deposit method. Since the fourth quarter of 1991 and in compliance with the 1992 Consent Order, the Company has been offering only developed lots for sale (see Note 8).
At the time of recording a sale the Company records an allowance for the estimated cost to cancel the related contracts receivable through a charge to the provision for uncollectible sales. The amount of this provision and the adequacy of the allowance is determined by the Company's continuing evaluation of the portfolio and past cancellation experience. While the Company uses the best information available to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary as a result of future national and international economic and other conditions that may be beyond the Company's control. Changes in the Company's estimate of the allowance for previously recognized sales will be reported in earnings in the period in which they become estimable and are charged to the provision for uncollectible contracts.
Land improvement costs are allocated to individual homesites based upon the relationship that the homesite's sales price bears to the total sales price of all homesites in the community. The estimated costs of improving homesites are based upon independent engineering estimates made in accordance with sound cost estimation and provide for anticipated cost-inflation factors. The estimates are systematically reviewed. When cost estimates are revised, the percentage relationship they bear to deferred revenues is recalculated on a cumulative basis to determine future income recognition as performance takes place.
Bulk land sales are recorded and profit is recognized in accordance with FASB No. 66. Bulk land sales of approximately $315,000 and $113,000 are included in gross land sales for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Sales of houses and vacation ownership units, as well as all related costs and expenses, are recorded at the time of closing.
Interest costs directly related to, and incurred during, a project's construction period are capitalized. Such capitalized interest amounted to $164,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993. Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Additions and betterments are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are charged to income as incurred. Generally, upon the sale or retirement of assets, the accounts are relieved of the costs and related accumulated depreciation and any gain or loss is reflected in income.
When property exchanges and refund transactions are consummated under the Company's Marco Island-Marco Shores customer programs (see Note 9), any resulting loss is charged to the allowance for Marco permit costs. When property exchanges and refund transactions are consummated under the Consent Order (see Note 8), any resulting loss is charged against the allowance included in accrued expenses and other. The Company accrues interest on its refund obligations in accordance with the various customer refund programs.
For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers its investments, which are comprised of short term, highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of". SFAS No. 121 requires companies to evaluate long-lived assets for impairment based on the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If a long-lived asset is identified as impaired, the value of the asset must be reduced to its fair value. The Company's inventories would be considered long-lived assets under this pronouncement.
The statement is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995. The actual effects of implementing the new standard has not been determined. However, the adoption is not expected to have any material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize or incur in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, contracts and mortgages receivable, and similar debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents are reasonable estimates of fair value. The fair value of contracts and mortgages receivable and similar debt has been estimated using interest rates currently available for similar terms. The carrying value of the contracts and mortgages receivable and similar debt approximates fair value. (44)

THE DELTONA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Contracts and Mortgages Receivable
At December 31, 1995, interest rates on contracts receivable outstanding ranged from 5% to 12% per annum (weighted average approximately 8.3%). The approximate principal maturities of contracts receivable (including $163,000 restricted for use in the Marco refund program, see Note 9) were:
If a regularly scheduled payment on a contract remains unpaid 30 days after its due date, the contract is considered delinquent. Aggregate delinquent contracts receivable at December 31, 1995 and 1994 approximate $1,360,000 and $2,140,000, respectively.
Information with respect to interest rates and average contract lives used in valuing new contracts receivable generated from sales follows:
In December, 1992, as described above, the Company sold $10,800,000 of contracts and mortgages receivable to an affiliate of Yasawa at face value, applying the proceeds therefrom to reduce the Company's bank loan, which had been acquired by Yasawa.
In March, 1993 the Company transferred $1,600,000 in contracts and mortgages receivable, generating approximately $1,059,000 in proceeds to the Company, which was used for working capital, and the creation of a holdback account in the amount of $150,000. As of December 31, 1995, the balance of the holdback account was $108,000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
THE DELTONA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
2. Contracts and Mortgages Receivable - (Continued)
In June, 1992 and February, 1990, the Company completed sales of contracts and mortgages receivable totalling $13,500,000 and $17,000,000, respectively, which generated approximately $8,000,000 and $13,900,000, respectively, in net proceeds to the Company. The anticipated costs of the June, 1992 transaction were included in the extraordinary loss from debt restructuring for 1991 since the restructuring was dependent on the sale. The Company recorded a loss of $600,000 on the February, 1990 sale. In conjunction with these sales the Company granted the purchaser a security interest in certain additional contracts and mortgages receivable of approximately $2,700,000 and conveyed all of its rights, title and interest in the property underlying such contracts to a collateral trustee. In addition, these transactions, among other things, require that the Company replace or repurchase any receivable that becomes 90 days delinquent upon the request of the purchaser. Such requirement can be satisfied from contracts in which the purchaser holds a security interest (approximately $1,388,000 as of December 31, 1995). The purchaser of these receivables experienced financial difficulty and filed in 1994 for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. In November 1995, the purchaser of these receivables assigned the portfolio to a third party, who now owns the portfolio and will service and collect the receivables. The Company is unable to determine what effect this will have, if any, on future cancellations, since it is unable to determine how the bankruptcy or the servicing and collection procedures of the third party will impact the customers' determination to continue to pay under those contracts. The Company has fully reserved for the amount of the holdback account and the estimated future cancellations based on the Company's historical experience for receivables the Company services. However, due to the uncertainty noted above, the Company does not feel there is sufficient information to estimate future cancellations and is unable to determine the adequacy of its reserves to replace or repurchase receivables that become delinquent. The Company was unable to replace or repurchase $1,148,000 in delinquent contracts in 1994 and $524,000 in delinquent contracts in 1995, which amounts were deducted from the deposit held by the purchaser of the receivables as security. In addition, the Company was unable to replace or repurchase $613,000 in delinquent receivables in 1995; however, a replacement of $293,000 in receivables was made in January, 1996.
The Company was the guarantor of approximately $15,653,000 of contracts receivable sold or transferred as of December 31, 1995 and had $108,000 on deposit with purchasers of the receivables as security to assure collectibility as of such date. A provision of $650,000 has been established for the Company's obligation under the recourse provisions. The Company has been in compliance with all receivable transactions since the consummation of sales.
The Company anticipates that it will be necessary to complete additional sales and financings of a portion of its receivables in 1996. There can be no assurance, however, that such sales and/or financings can be accomplished.
3. Inventories
Information with respect to the classification of inventory of land and improvements including land held for sale or transfer is as follows:
(46)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) THE DELTONA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
3. Inventories - (Continued)
Land and land improvements include approximately $202,000 of land placed in the Marco Island and Marco Shores trusts for the Marco refund program as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 (see Note 9). Other inventories consists primarily of vacation ownership units completed.
4. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment and accumulated depreciation consist of the following:
Depreciation charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was approximately $64,000, $86,000 and $104,000, respectively.
5. Mortgages and Similar Debt
Indebtedness under various purchase money mortgages and loan agreements is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets, including stock of certain wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The Company, Selex and Yasawa entered into loan modification agreements in which all accrued interest was converted into non- interest bearing principal at the earlier of the maturity date or the default date. Accordingly, at December 31, 1995, $4,200,000 of accrued interest was reclassified as principal. The loans were also modified to formalize the elimination of the default interest rate provisions in each of the applicable loan agreements.
The following table presents information with respect to mortgages and similar debt (in thousands):
Included in Mortgage Notes Payable is the First Selex Loan ($2,722,000 as of December 31, 1995), the Third Selex Loan ($3,825,000 as of December 31, 1995), the Yasawa Loan ($5,829,000 as of December 31, 1995) and the Second Yasawa Loan ($4,341,000 as of December 31, 1995). Other loans include the $1,656,000 Empire note and the $2,005,000 Scafholding Loan.

THE DELTONA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
5. Mortgages and Similar Debt - (Continued)
These mortgage notes payable and other loans are in default as of December 31, 1995 due to the non-payment of principal. The lenders have not taken any other action as a result of these defaults.
On June 19, 1992, Selex loaned the Company the sum of $3,000,000 pursuant to the First Selex Loan. The First Selex Loan is collateralized by a first mortgage on certain of the Company's unsold, undeveloped property in its St. Augustine Shores, Florida community. The Loan matures on June 15, 1996 and provides for principal to be repaid at 50% of the net proceeds per lot for lots requiring release from the mortgage, with the entire unpaid balance becoming due and payable at the end of the four year term. It initially bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum, with payment of interest deferred for the initial 18 months of the Loan and interest payments due quarterly thereafter. As part of the Selex transaction, Selex was granted an option, approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock at the Company's 1992 Annual Meeting, which, as modified, enabled Selex to convert the First Selex Loan, or any portion thereof, into a maximum of 600,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a per share conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $1.25 or (ii) 95% of the market price of the Company's Common Stock at the time of conversion, but in no event greater than $4.50 per share (the "Option"). On February 17, 1994, Selex exercised the Option, in full, at a conversion price of $1.90 per share, such that $1,140,000 in principal was repaid under the First Selex Loan through such conversion. As of December 31, 1995, the Company was in default of the First Selex Loan.
One million dollars of the proceeds from the First Selex Loan was used by the Company to acquire certain commercial and multi-family properties at the Company's St. Augustine Shores community at their net appraised value, from Mr. Muyres and certain entities affiliated with Messrs. Zwaans and Muyres. Namely, (i) $416,000 was used to acquire 48 undeveloped condominium units (twelve 4 unit building sites) and 4 completed (and rented) condominium units from Conquistador Development Corporation ("Conquistador"), in which Messrs. Zwaans and Muyres serve as directors, as well as President and Secretary/Treasurer, respectively; (ii) $485,000 was used to acquire 4 commercial lots from Swan, in which Messrs. Zwaans and Muyres also serve as directors, as well as President and Secretary, respectively; and (iii) approximately $99,000 was used to reacquire, from Mr. Muyres, all of his rights, title and interest in that certain contracts with the Company for the purchase of a commercial tract in St. Augustine Shores, Florida. None of the commercial and multi-family property acquired by the Company from Mr. Muyres and certain entities affiliated with Messrs. Zwaans and Muyres collateralizes the First Selex Loan. In March, 1994, Conquistador exercised its right to repurchase certain multi-family property from the Company (which right had been granted in connection with the June, 1992 Selex transaction) at a price of $312,000, of which $260,000 was paid in cash to the Company and $52,000 was applied to reduce interest due to Selex under the Second Selex Loan (the "First Conquistador Acquisition").
On December 2, 1992, the Company entered into various agreements relating to certain of its assets and the restructuring of its debt with Yasawa, which is beneficially owned by Mr. Antony Gram. The consummation of these agreements, which are further described below, was conditioned upon the acquisition by Mr. Gram of the Company's outstanding bank loan.
On December 4, 1992, Mr. Gram entered into an agreement with the lenders, pursuant to which he acquired the bank loan of approximately $25,150,000 (including interest and fees) for a price of $10,750,000. In conjunction with
(48)

THE DELTONA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
5. Mortgages and Similar Debt - (Continued)
such transaction, the lenders transferred to Mr. Gram the warrants which they held that entitled the holder to purchase an aggregate of 277,387 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Immediately after the acquisition of the bank loan, Mr. Gram transferred all of his interest in the bank loan, including the warrants, to Yasawa.
On December 11, 1992, the Company consummated the December 2, 1992 agreements with Yasawa. Under these agreements, Yasawa, its affiliates and the Company agreed as follows: (i) the Company sold certain property at its Citrus Springs community to an affiliate of Yasawa in exchange for approximately $6,500,000 of debt reduction credit; (ii) an affiliate of Yasawa and the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with respect to the Citrus Springs property, providing for the Company to market such property and receive an administration fee from the venture (in March, 1994, the Company and the affiliate agreed to terminate the venture); (iii) the Company sold certain contracts receivable at face value to an affiliate of Yasawa for debt reduction credit of approximately $10,800,000; (iv) the Company sold the Marco Shores Country Club and Golf Course to an affiliate of Yasawa for an aggregate sales price of $5,500,000, with the affiliate assuming an existing first mortgage of approximately $1,100,000 and the Company receiving debt reduction credit of $2,400,000, such that the Company obtained cash proceeds from this transaction of $2,000,000, which amount was used for working capital; (v) an affiliate of Yasawa agreed to lease the Marco Shores Country Club and Golf Course to the Company for a period of approximately one year; (vi) an affiliate of Yasawa and the Company agreed to amend the terms of the warrants to increase the number of shares issuable upon their exercise from 277,387 shares to 289,637 shares and to adjust the exercise price to an aggregate of approximately $314,000; (vii) Yasawa exercised the warrants in exchange for debt reduction credit of approximately $314,000; (viii) Yasawa released certain collateral held for the bank loan; (ix) an affiliate of Yasawa agreed to make an additional loan of up to $1,500,000 to the Company, thus providing the Company with a future line of credit (all of which was drawn and outstanding as of December 31, 1995); and (x) Yasawa agreed to restructure the payment terms of the remaining $5,106,000 of the bank loan as a loan from Yasawa (the "Yasawa Loan").
The Yasawa Loan bears interest at the rate of 11% per annum, with payment of interest deferred until December 31, 1993, when only accrued interest became payable. Commencing January 31, 1994, principal and interest became payable monthly, with all unpaid principal and accrued interest being due and payable on December 31, 1997. As of December 31, 1995, $5,829,000 in principal was in default under the Yasawa Loan.
On April 30, 1993 Selex loaned the Company an additional $1,000,000 collateralized by a first mortgage on certain of the Company's property in its Marion Oaks, Florida community (the "Second Selex Loan"). Interest under the Second Selex Loan was 11% per annum, deferred until December 31, 1993, and principal was to be repaid at $3,000 per lot for lots requiring release from the mortgage, with the entire unpaid principal balance and interest accruing from January 1, 1994 to April 30, 1994 due and payable on April 30, 1994. Although Selex had certain conversion rights under the Second Selex Loan in the event the Company sold any Common Stock or Preferred Stock prior to payment in full of all amounts due to Selex under the Second Selex Loan, such rights were voided. The Second Selex Loan was satisfied on May 22, 1995 through the closing of the Second Conquistador Acquisition, discussed below.

From July 9, 1993 through December 31, 1993, Selex loaned the Company an additional $4,400,000 collateralized by a second mortgage on certain of the Company's property on which Selex and/or Yasawa hold a first mortgage pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated July 14, 1993 and amendments thereto (the "Third Selex Loan"). The Third Selex Loan bears interest at 11% per annum, with interest deferred until December 31, 1993. Principal is to be repaid at $3,000 per lot for lots requiring release from the mortgage, with the entire unpaid principal balance and interest accruing from January 1, 1994 to April 30, 1994 due and payable on April 30, 1994. The Second Conquistador Acquisition, discussed below, closed on May 22, 1995, provided a reduction of the debt due and payable under the Third Selex Loan. As of December 31, 1995, $1,371,000 in principal had been repaid under the Third Selex Loan. The remaining principal balance of $3,825,000 remained unpaid and in default.
In February, 1994, Yasawa loaned the Company an additional amount of approximately $514,900 at an interest rate of 8% per annum (the "Second Yasawa Loan"). Since May, 1994, additional amounts were advanced to the Company under the Second Yasawa Loan to enable the Company to pay certain essential expenses, including payment of certain real estate taxes, and effectuate settlements with the Company's principal creditors. As of December 31, 1995, an aggregate amount of $4,012,000 had been advanced to the Company under the Second Yasawa Loan and the principal balance of $4,341,000 was outstanding as of December 31, 1995.
On May 22, 1995, the Company closed a transaction with Conquistador (the "Second Conquistador Acquisition") for the sale of an administration building and a multi-family site in the Company's St. Augustine Shores community as well as the remaining lot inventory in the Company's FeatherNest community at Marion Oaks in consideration for the satisfaction of $2,599,300 of principal and accrued interest on the Second and Third Selex Loans. In a separate transaction which also closed on the same date, the Company sold to Conquistador (the "Third Conquistador Acquisition") four single family residential lots in the St. Augustine Shores community for $100,000 in cash. These transactions were accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals for these types of related party transactions. Accordingly, the resulting gain of $1,900,000 was treated as a contribution of capital and recorded directly to capital surplus.
As previously stated, Messrs. Muyres and Zwaans also serve as directors and executive officers of M&M First Coast Realty ("M&M"). The Company had leased certain office space to M&M at its St. Augustine Shores community pursuant to a Lease Agreement dated August 10, 1990. A payment of approximately $21,300 in delinquent rental payments was made on May 22, 1995 upon the closing of the Second Conquistador Acquisition, which included the sale of the St. Augustine Administration Building to which the lease pertained.
At December 31, 1995, $4,200,000 of accrued interest due to Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates was reclassified as non-interest bearing principal. Through March 22, 1996, $1,140,000 in principal was repaid under the First Selex Loan through the exercise of the above described Option, the Second Selex Loan was repaid in full, $1,371,000 in principal was repaid under the Third Selex Loan, and $133,900 in principal and $346,000 in accrued interest was repaid under the Yasawa loan. As of March 22, 1996, the Company had loans outstanding from Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates in the aggregate amount of approximately $20,757,000, including interest, all of which are in default, including approximately $8,349,600, which is owed to Selex, including accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $145,900 (10% per annum on the First Selex Loan, 11% per annum on the Third Selex Loan

and 12% per annum on the Empire Note assigned to Selex); approximately $10,361,800, which is owed to Yasawa, including accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $192,500 (11% per annum on the Yasawa Loan and 8% per annum on the Second Yasawa Loan); and approximately $2,046,000, which is owed to an affiliate of Yasawa, including accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $41,000 (12% per annum). The loans from Selex, Yasawa and their affiliates are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.
6. Income Taxes
Effective December 26, 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Accounting Standard No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." There was no effect from the adoption of this standard. Under this standard deferred income assets and liabilities are computed annually for the difference between financial statements and the tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future bases on enacted tax and rates applicable to periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred assets and liabilities.
For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had a net loss for tax purposes and, as a result, there was no tax payable or refundable and there was no change in the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, there was no tax provision for such years.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of approximately $23,615,000 which primarily resulted from the tax effect of the Company's net operating loss carryforward of $17,561,000 and losses on subsidiaries sold in prior years of $3,960,000. A valuation allowance of $23,615,000 has been established against the net deferred tax asset.
As of December 31, 1994, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of approximately $25,564,000 which primarily resulted from the tax effect of the Company's net operating loss carryforward of $21,719,000 and losses on subsidiaries sold in prior years of $3,960,000. A valuation allowance of $25,564,000 has been established against the net deferred tax asset.
The Company's regular net operating loss carryover for tax purposes is estimated to be $45,519,000 at December 31, 1995, of which $4,733,000 will be available through 1996, $11,022,000 through 1999, $364,000 through 2002, $9,189,000 through 2005, $9,780,000 through 2006, $5,029,000 through 2008, and the remainder through 2009. In addition to the net operating loss carryover, investment tax credit carryovers of approximately $117,000, which expire from 1996 through 2001, are available to reduce federal income tax liabilities only after the net operating loss carryovers have been utilized.
The utilization of the Company's net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards could be impaired or reduced under certain circumstances, pursuant to changes in the federal income tax laws effected by the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Events which affect these carryforwards include, but are not limited to, cumulative stock ownership changes of 50% or more over a three-year period, as defined, and the timing of the utilization of the tax benefit carryforwards.

7. Liability for Improvements
The Company has an obligation to complete land improvements upon deeding which, depending on contractual provisions, typically occurs within 90 to 120 days after the completion of payments by the customer. The estimated cost to complete improvements to lots and tracts from which sales have been made at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was approximately $14,449,000 and $17,600,000 (as adjusted for the 1992 Consent Order), respectively. The foregoing estimates reflect the Company's current development plans at its communities (see Note 8). These estimates include estimated development obligations applicable to sold lots of approximately $1,295,000 and $2,412,000, respectively, a liability to provide title insurance and deeding costing $1,217,000 and $1,300,000, respectively, and an estimated cost of street maintenance, prior to assumption of such obligations by local governments, of $1,150,000 and $2,948,000, respectively, all of which are included in deferred revenue. Included in cash at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, are escrow deposits of $489,000 and $911,000, respectively, restricted for completion of improvements in certain of the Company's communities.
In May, 1994 the Company implemented a program to exchange purchasers who contracted to purchase property which is undeveloped to property which is developed. As of March 22, 1996, approximately 83% of the customers whose lots are currently undeveloped have opted to exchange. The Company's goal is to eliminate its development obligation (with the exception of its road maintenance obligations in Marion Oaks and Sunny Hills) under the 1992 Consent Order through this exchange program, completion of two commercial areas in Marion Oaks, sale of its second Citrus Springs Golf Course (with the buyer assuming the development obligation) and settlement of all remaining maintenance and improvements obligations in Citrus Springs through a final agreement with Citrus County. This final agreement was entered into in May, 1995.
The anticipated expenditures for land improvements to complete areas from which sales have been made through December 31, 1995 are as follows:
8. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Total rental expense for the years ended December 31, 1995, December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 was approximately $172,000, $773,000 and $808,000, respectively.
The Company has no real estate leases that extend beyond 2000. Estimated rental expense under these leases is expected to be approximately $170,000 annually. The Company has no material equipment leases.
During 1983 the Company entered into a sale-leaseback agreement on its executive office building. In 1992, the Company conveyed certain properties to the landlord in satisfaction of its outstanding lease obligations for its executive office building in Miami, Florida. The Company also entered into a modification of its lease agreement, providing for a reduction of its rental expenses through March 31, 1994, at which time the Company would have
(52)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
THE DELTONA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
8. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities - (Continued)
the option of acquiring the leased premises or reinstating the lease according to its original terms. If the landlord were to sell the leased premises to a third party at any time that the lease, or any modification thereof, is in effect, then the lease with the Company would be cancelled. In the action styled FIVE POINTS LIMITED V. THE DELTONA CORPORATION, Case No. 93-22877, filed in the Circuit Court for Dade County, Florida and served upon the Company on December 8, 1993, the plaintiff sought damages against the Company for an alleged breach of the lease for its office building. The complaint was settled and a stipulation filed. The Company entered into a short term lease agreement with the landlord and/or its affiliate for a term of lease of one (1) year with a ninety (90) day cancellation provision. Certain payments were made to the landlord and a letter of credit in the amount of $500,000, now called, was conveyed to the landlord. Funding for the settlement was obtained through a loan from Anthony Gram, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Company vacated the premises in September 1995 and neither party owes the other any further duty or obligation.
The profit on the sale-leaseback agreement was included in deferred revenue and amortized as a reduction in rent expense over the term of the lease which, according to its terms would expire March 31, 1998. On October 27, 1994, the date on which the above referenced settlement agreement was consummated, all of the profit remaining in deferred revenue was recognized resulting in a gain of $1,051,000.
Homesite sales contracts provide for the return of all monies paid in (including paid-in interest) should the Company be unable to meet its contractual obligations after the use of reasonable diligence. If a refund is made, the Company will recover the related homesite and any improvement thereto. The aggregate amount of all monies paid in (including paid-in interest) on all homesite contracts having outstanding contractual obligations (primarily to complete improvements) at December 31, 1995 was approximately $5,429,000.
As a result of the delays in completing the land improvements to certain property sold in certain of its Central and North Florida communities, the Company fell behind in meeting its contractual obligations to its customers. In connection with these delays, the Company, in February, 1980, entered into a Consent Order with the Division which provided a program for notifying affected customers. The Consent Order, which was restated and amended, provided a program for notifying affected customers of the anticipated delays in the completion of improvements (or, in the case of purchasers of unbuildable lots in certain areas of the Company's Sunny Hills community, the transfer of development obligations to core growth areas of the community); various options which may be selected by affected purchasers; a schedule for completing certain improvements; and a deferral of the obligation to install water mains until requested by the purchaser. Under an agreement with Topeka Group Incorporated ("Topeka"), which purchased the Company's utilities in 1989, Topeka's utility companies have agreed to furnish utility service to the future residents of the Company's communities on substantially the same basis as such services were provided by the Company. The Consent Order also required the establishment of an improvement escrow account as assurance for completing such improvement obligations.
In June, 1992, the Company entered into the 1992 Consent Order with the Division, which replaced and superseded the original Consent Order, as amended and restated. Among other things, the 1992 Consent Order consolidated the Company's development obligations and provided for a reduction in its required monthly escrow obligation to $175,000 from September, 1992 through December, 1993. Beginning January, 1994 and until
(53)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
THE DELTONA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
8. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities - (Continued)
development is completed or the 1992 Consent Order is amended, the Company is required to deposit $430,000 per month into the escrow account. As part of the assurance program under the 1992 Consent Order, the Company and its lenders granted the Division a lien on certain contracts receivable (approximately $9,537,600 as of December 31, 1995) and future receivables. The Company defaulted on its obligation to escrow $430,000 per month for the period of January, 1994 through the present and, in accordance with the 1992 Consent Order, collections on Division receivables were escrowed for the benefit of purchasers from March 1, 1994 through April 30, 1994. In May, 1994 the Company implemented a program to exchange purchasers who contracted to purchase property which is undeveloped to property which is developed. As of March 22 1996, approximately 83% of the customers whose lots are currently undeveloped have opted to exchange. Consequently, the Division has allowed the Company to utilize collections on receivables since May 1, 1994. Because of the Company's default, the Division could also exercise other available remedies under the 1992 Consent Order, which remedies entitle the Division, among other things, to halt all sales of registered property.
The Company's goal is to eliminate its development obligation (with the exception of its maintenance obligation in Marion Oaks and Sunny Hills) under the 1992 Consent Order through this exchange program, completion of two commercial areas in Marion Oaks, sale of its second Citrus Springs Golf Course (with the buyer assuming the development obligation) and settlement of all remaining maintenance and improvements obligations in Citrus Springs through a final agreement with Citrus County (entered into in May 1995). Pursuant to the 1992 Consent Order, the Company has limited the sale of single-family lots to lots which front on a paved street and are ready for immediate building.
Based upon the Company's experience with affected customers, the Company believes that the total refunds arising from delays in completing improvements will not materially exceed the amount provided for in the consolidated financial statements. Approximately $21,000 and $49,000 of the provision for the total refunds relating to the delays of improvements remained in accrued expenses and other at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Company's corporate performance bonds to assure the completion of development at its St. Augustine Shores community expired in March and June, 1993. Such bonds cannot be renewed due to a change in the policy of the Board of County Commissioners of St. Johns County which precludes allowing any developer to secure the performance of development obligations by the issuance of corporate bonds. In the event that St. Johns County elects to undertake the completion of such development work, the Company would be obligated with respect to 1,000 unimproved lots at St. Augustine Shores in the amount of approximately $6,200,000. The Company intends to submit an alternative assurance program for the completion of such development and improvements to the County for its approval.
In the action styled LEE SU WEN NI ET. AL. V. THE DELTONA CORPORATION AND SCAFHOLDING B.V., Case No. 95-4422-CA-E, filed in the Circuit Court of Marion County, Florida on October 11, 1995, the plaintiff alleges that the liquidated damages provision in the Company's installment contracts for the sale of its properties is unenforceable under Florida Law and contests the method utilized by the Company to calculate actual damages in the event of contract cancellations. As part of the complaint, the plaintiff is seeking certification as a class action, as well as unspecified compensatory damages, together with interest, costs and fees. The Company filed a Motion to Dismiss
(54)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
THE DELTONA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
8. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities - (Continued)
in response to the plaintiff's complaint. The Court has dismissed the claim of the class representative against the Company and against Scafholding B.V.; however, the Company expects an appeal to ensue. In the event that any future appeal is successful, class certification is authorized and the Company is not successful in its defenses, a substantial claim could be asserted against the Company.
In addition to the matters discussed above and in Note 9, the Company is a party to other litigation relating to the conduct of its business which is routine in nature and, in the opinion of management, should have no material effect upon the Company's operation.
9. Marco Island-Marco Shores Permits
On April 16, 1976, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the "Corps") denied the Company's application for dredge and fill permits required to complete development of the Marco Island community. These denials adversely affected the Company's ability to obtain the required permits for the Marco Shores community as originally platted. Following the denials, the Company instituted legal proceedings, implemented various programs to assist its customers affected by the Corps' action, and applied for permits from certain administrative agencies for other areas of the Company's Marco ownership.
On July 20, 1982, the Company entered into an agreement with the State of Florida and various state and local agencies (the "Settlement Agreement"), endorsed by various environmental interest groups, to resolve pending litigation and administrative proceedings relative to the Marco permitting issues. The Settlement Agreement became effective when, pursuant thereto, approximately 12,400 acres of the Company's Marco wetlands were conveyed to the State in exchange for approximately 50 acres of State-owned property in Dade County, Florida. In October, 1987, the Company sold the Dade County property for $9,000,000. The Settlement Agreement also allowed the Company to develop as many as 14,500 additional dwelling units in the Marco vicinity. On October 11, 1991, 1,300 acres of Marco property (7,000 dwelling units) were conveyed to the Company's lenders for debt reduction.
The Company placed certain properties in trust to meet its refund obligation to affected customers. On September 14, 1992, the Circuit Court of Dade County, Florida approved a settlement of certain class action litigation instituted by customers affected by the Marco permit denials, under the terms of which the Company was required, among other things, to convey more than 120 acres of multi-family and commercial land that had been placed in trust to the trustee of the 809 member class. As part of the settlement, the Company guaranteed the amount to be realized from the sale of the conveyed property. This guaranteed amount shall not exceed $2,000,000.
At December 31, 1995, $1,349,000 remained in the allowance for Marco permit costs, including $39,000 relating to interest accrued on such obligations. Based upon the Company's experience with affected customers, the Company believes that its total obligations to the three remaining affected customers will not materially exceed the amount provided for in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. See "Legal Proceedings".

9. Marco Island-Marco Shores Permits - (Continued)
Following the closing in 1995 on a majority of the property conveyed to the Trust, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of $702,000 resulting from a reduction in the amount of its guarantee pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.
Information with respect to the allowance for Marco permit costs follows:
10. Common Stock and Earnings per Share Information
Under the Company's 1987 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Plan"), an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for the granting of non-qualified stock options and the award of incentive shares to such executive officers and other key employees of the Company as may be determined by the Committee administering the Stock Plan. The extent to which incentive shares are earned and charged to expense will be determined at the end of the three-year award cycle, based on the achievement of the Company's net income goal for the award cycle. Payment of incentive shares earned may be made in shares of the Company's Common Stock and/or cash. If paid in cash, such payment will be based on the average daily closing price of the Company's Common Stock during the last month of the award cycle. The option features of the Stock Plan are substantially the same as the Company's incentive stock option plan described above. A total of 79,940 shares were issued and $233,412 was paid with respect to awards earned under the Stock Plan as of December 29, 1989 and no additional awards were granted until March 1993 when Bruce Weiner was granted 20,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $4.00 per share, which was in excess of the market value of the Company's Common Stock on the grant date. Such option expired unexercised following Mr. Weiner's removal as an officer of the Company in 1994.
On June 18, 1992, the Company issued warrants to its lenders for the purchase of 277,387 shares of Common Stock at $1.00 per share (the Warrants"). The Warrants became exercisable on June 18, 1992, were subject to mandatory repurchase by the Company at the request of the holder at any time after December 18, 1993 at 75% of the market price of the Company's Common Stock and expired on the later of: (i) 30 days after payment in full of all debt under the Sixth Restatement; (ii) July 31, 1997, or (iii) such later date as to which the expiration date had been extended to implement the provisions applicable to the mandatory repurchase option.
On December 2, 1992, the Company entered into a Warrant Exercise and Debt Reduction Agreement with Yasawa, providing for the number of shares issuable upon acquisition of the Warrants by Yasawa and the exercise of such Warrants by Yasawa to be increased from 277,387 shares of Common Stock to 289,637 shares of Common Stock, and adjusting the exercise price to an aggregate of approximately $314,000. On December 11, 1992, following the
(56)

10. Common Stock and Earnings per Share Information - (Continued)
acquisition of the Company's bank loan and the Warrants by Gram and the immediate transfer of the bank loan and the Warrants by Gram to Yasawa, Yasawa exercised the Warrants in exchange for debt reduction credit to the Company of approximately $314,000.
As part of the Selex transaction, Selex was granted an option which was approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock at the Company's 1992 Annual Meeting, to convert the Selex Loan, or any portion thereof, into a maximum of 850,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a per share conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $1.25 or (ii) 95% of the market price of the Company's Common Stock at the time of conversion, but in no event greater than $4.50 per share (the "Option"). However, on September 14, 1992, Selex formally waived and relinquished its right to exercise the Option as to 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to enable the Company to settle certain litigation involving the Company through the issuance of approximately 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to the claimants, without jeopardizing the utilization of the Company's net operating loss carryforward.
On February 17, 1994, Selex exercised the remaining full 600,000 share Option at a conversion price of $1.90 per share, such that $1,140,000 in principal was repaid under the First Selex Loan through such conversion. As a consequence of such conversion, Selex holds 2,820,066 shares of the Company's Common Stock (41.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company based upon the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding as of March 22, 1996).
Earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent share were computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during each period. The net loss per share and the average number of shares of Common Stock and common stock equivalents used to calculate earnings per share for 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $(2,203,000), $(3,906,000) and $(8,772,000) and 6,699,923, 6,668,765 and 6,065,743, respectively.
