buildings, multi-family residential properties, manufacturing and

Competition and Market Factors
SCRI is subject to all the general risks associated with investment in real
estate such as adverse changes in general or local economic conditions,
changes in supply of or demand for similar or competing properties in an area,
changes in interest rates and operating expenses, changes in market rental
rates, inability to lease properties upon the termination or expiration of
existing leases, the renewal of existing leases and inability to collect
payments from operators.
SCRI faces competition from banks, insurance companies, finance companies,
leasing companies and real estate investment trusts in the acquisition,
financing and leasing of properties, which could adversely affect its growth.
There can be no assurance that SCRI will be able to raise sufficient capital
through borrowings, or the issuance of debt and equity securities, to achieve
its investment objectives.
SCRI is dependent on the efforts of its directors, officers and key personnel
and has employment contracts with only two such persons. There can be no
assurance that SCRI would be able to recruit additional personnel with
equivalent experience in the event of their resignation.

Forward Looking Statements
This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") concerning
the Company's operations, economic performance and financial conditions,
including, in particular, the likelihood of the Company's success in
developing and bringing to market the products which it currently has under
development. These statements are based upon a number of assumptions and
estimates which are inherently subject to significant uncertainties, and
contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Company and
reflect future business decisions which are subject to change. Some of
these assumptions inevitably will not materialize, and unanticipated events
will occur which will affect the Company's results. Consequently, actual
results will vary from the statements contained herein and such variance may
be material. Prospective investors should not place undue reliance on this
information.
Item 2. Properties
The Company's corporate office is located at 2500 Military Trail North, Suite
260, Boca Raton, Florida 33431, where the Company leases 2,798 square feet of

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company filed suit against BANKATLANTIC BANCORP., INC., and BANKATLANTIC,
a federal savings bank, in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in
and for Palm Beach County, Florida, by complaint dated December 30, 1998. The
complaint charges a breach of fiduciary duty and seeks unspecified damages in
that the defendant, undertook to act as agent or broker in connection with
obtaining a $200 million loan facility, relating to a sale and lease back
program for a major publicly traded national builder. Rather than complete the
financing transaction, the complaint alleges economic opportunity was usurped
by defendant and entered into an agreement directly with the builder,
utilizing inter alia, the terms of the Company's program.
The Company believes that it has a meritorious claim and should prevail.
The Company filed a lawsuit in June 1999 against Monarch Investment
Properties, Inc., formerly known as Iron Holdings Corp.,Iron Eagle Contracting
and Mechanical, Inc., Tahoe Realty Corp., Anthony Gurino, Dennis Sommesso, and
"John and Jane Doe 1-15, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County
of Queens. The Action asserts seven separate causes of action arising out of a
default in payment of a $1,100,000 promissory note evidencing moneys due to
the Company from Monarch/Iron Holdings as a result of its purchase of certain
corporate stock of Iron Eagle from the Company.
Based on information currently available to the Company, it anticipates that it
will collect the outstanding balance, accrued interest, as well as collection
costs. The Company has not accrued interest on the note since March 31, 1999.
The Company believes that it has a meritorious claim and should prevail.
The Company is not presently involved in any other material litigation nor,
to its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Company
or its properties, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary
course of business.

convertible preferred stock. Each share is convertible into one share of the
Company's common stock commencing in December 1996. Dividends may be declared

thereafter.
During July 1998, David Miller, Chairman of the Company acquired all the

has not paid any distributions on the preferred stock since July 1996, as a

the dividend. At September 30, 1998, the Company owed $130,000 in unpaid
distributions. In October 1998, the Company began paying distributions to
David Miller at the rate of $10,000 per month, which will bring the Company

Results of Operations
Year Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Year Ended June 30, 1998.
The Company's lease revenue during fiscal 1999 increased $1.1 million (or 32%)
compared to the prior year period. The increase is attributable to additional
lease revenues generated from the purchase of approximately $17 million in
model homes during the fiscal year. Option fees decreased $.8 million during
fiscal 1999 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was due to the
exercise of the client's option to purchase resulting in the sale of a land
parcel for $8.5 million on July 3, 1997.
Revenues from the sale of model homes increased $12.5 million (or 138%) compared
to the prior year period. The increase is attributable to the maturity of the
model home portfolio with the expected turnover of the homes in the 18-24
month range.
Revenues from land sales totaled approximately $8.5 million during fiscal
1998. The Company had no land sales during fiscal 1999.
Interest expense related to lease revenues increased approximately $671,000
(or 31%) during fiscal 1999 compared to the prior year period, primarily due
to the increase in loans utilized to purchase additional model homes. Cost of
interest expense as a percentage of lease and option fee revenues is
consistent with fiscal 1998.
Cost of model homes sold increased $11.7 million (or 134%) compared to the
prior year period, primarily due to the related increase in model home sales
revenue. Cost of model home sales as a percentage of model home sale revenues
is consistent with fiscal 1998.
The Company's selling, marketing, general & administrative expenses increased
$285,000 (or 25%) during fiscal year 1999 as compared to fiscal year 1998.
This increase was attributable to the selling, general and administrative
costs associated with generating the increased revenue levels. Corporate
costs as a percentage of revenues is consistent with fiscal year 1998.
Income from continuing operations before income tax benefit for the period was
$1,085,950 compared to a loss of $455,311 for fiscal 1998, an increase of
$1,541,000 (or 338%). Depreciation and amortization decreased $589,000 (or
99%) during fiscal year 1999 compared to fiscal 1998, contributing to the
increase in net income. For more information on depreciation and amortization,
see Note 3 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements on pages F-11
and F-12.
Year Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to Year Ended June 30, 1997.
The Company's lease revenue during fiscal 1998 increased $1.5 million (or 72%)
compared to the prior year period. The increase is attributable to additional
lease revenues generated from the purchase of approximately $26 million in
model homes during the fiscal year. Option fees decreased $.8 million during
fiscal 1998 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was due to the
exercise of the client's option to purchase resulting in the sale of a land
parcel for $8.5 million on July 3, 1997.
Revenues from the sale of model homes increased $4.5 million (or 99%) compared
to the prior year period. The increase is attributable to the maturity of the
model home portfolio with the expected turnover of the homes in the 18-24
month range.
Revenues from land sales totaled approximately $8.5 million during fiscal
1998. The Company had no land sales during fiscal 1997.
Interest expense related to lease and option fee revenues increased
approximately $475,000 (or 29%) during fiscal 1998 compared to the prior year
period, primarily due to the increase in loans utilized to purchase additional
model homes. Cost of interest expense as a percentage of lease and option fee
revenues is consistent with fiscal 1997.
Cost of model homes sold increased $4.2 million (or 95%) compared to the prior
year period, primarily due to the related increase in model home sales
revenue. Cost of model home sales as a percentage of model home sale revenues
is consistent with fiscal 1997.
The Company's selling, marketing, general & administrative expenses increased
$90,000 (or 9%) during fiscal year 1998 as compared to fiscal year 1997. This
increase was attributable to the selling, general and administrative costs
associated with generating the increased revenue levels. Corporate costs as a
percentage of revenues decreased 9% from 14% for fiscal year 1997 to 5% for
fiscal year 1998.
Loss from continuing operations before income tax benefit for the period was
$455,311 compared to $349,974 for fiscal 1997, an increase of $105,000 (or
30%). Depreciation and amortization increased $475,000 (or 67%) during fiscal
year 1998 compared to fiscal 1997, contributing to the increase in net loss.
The increase in depreciation and amortization was the result of the increase
in the model home portfolio and additional lines of credit utilized to
acquire the homes.
Trends in Operations
Despite the fact that assets declined by $3 million from the previous year,
the Company's operations have been and continue to accelerate at a rapid pace.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, total purchases of model homes were
in excess of $16 million. Monthly revenue from leases outstanding at June 30,
1999, 1998, and 1997 was $355,685, $386,877, and $214,093, respectively.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, the Company added a new line of
business, the purchase and leaseback of commercial real estate including
office buildings, multi-family residential properties, manufacturing and
warehouse facilities. The Company purchases the real estate and enters into
fixed term leases with the real estate developers. The lessees performance is
supported by surety bonds issued by insurance companies rated "BB" to "AAA" by
the major rating agencies.
On July 15, 1999 the Company purchased a 288 unit multi-family residential
property in Jacksonville, Florida for a purchase price of $10,228,000. At June
30, 1999, and through the report date, the Company was negotiating agreements
with several real estate developers and investors to acquire additional
commercial properties at an aggregate cost of $67,700,000. Management believes
that this line of business will contribute to the growth of the Company. For
pending transactions and additional information, see Item 1.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's cash uses during the twelve months ended June 30, 1999, were for
model home acquisitions, interest, and operating expenses. The Company
provided for its cash requirements from outside borrowing, various credit
facilities, asset turnover, and cash flow from operations. The Company
believes that these sources of cash are sufficient to finance its working
capital requirements and other needs.
The Company's borrowings are made pursuant to agreements with several
financial institutions which have provided credit facilities in excess of
$43,700,000 since the Company's inception. At June 30, 1999, the Company had
$8,700,000 available under various credit facilities expiring January
through August 2000. Interest is payable monthly at rates ranging from 2
Year Treasuries plus 2.50% to prime plus 1%. The Company believes that it will
be able to extend and increase current facilities, or negotiate additional
facilities, but there can be no assurance of such extensions, increases or
additional facilities. For additional information on the Company's borrowings
and financing activities, see Note 4 to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements and Business Section.
Cash Flows:
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $590,500, comprised of net
income of $759,950, less net adjustments for non-cash items of $534,828, plus
a net change in other operating assets and liabilities of $365,378.
Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $666,612, comprised of
$4,897,860 from the sale of model homes, offset by $4,216,654 in model home
purchases and $14,594 in capital expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $931,620, comprised of principal
payments on mortgages payable of $1,390,406, deferred costs of $460,891,
preferred distributions of $80,000, and purchase of treasury stock of
$262,432, offset by proceeds from mortgages payable of $972,109, and proceeds
from stockholder loans of $290,000.
Year 2000 Readiness
SCRI's State of Readiness
SCRI has completed a review of its software and hardware and determined,
through a combination of internal testing and vendor representations that
their products have been tested and are compliant.
The Costs to Address SCRI's Year 2000 Issues
Based on current estimates and plans, SCRI believes the costs of addressing
Year 2000 issues will not be material.
The Risks and Worst Case Scenario of SCRI's Year 2000 Issues
SCRI believes the most reasonable worst case scenario will be indirect in
nature involving third parties such as clients, vendors and suppliers which
may not have successfully dealt with their Year 2000 issues. SCRI continues
to assess the key third parties that it relies upon, however, SCRI has not yet
been assured that all of the computer systems of its clients, vendors and
suppliers will be Year 2000 compliant. For example, if suppliers of SCRI's
energy or telecommunications fail to become Year 2000 compliant, such failure
possibly could have an adverse effect on SCRI's ability to conduct daily
operations or to communicate with its clients and vendors. While SCRI
continues to analyze these risks, it is possible that information relevant to
such analysis will not be made available to SCRI, or that potential solutions
will not be within SCRI's control. In addition, there can be no guarantee
that SCRI's efforts will prevent a material adverse impact on its results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows. SCRI believes that its
readiness program, including the contingency plans discussed below, should
significantly reduce the adverse effect any disruption may have.
SCRI's Contingency Plans
SCRI will continue to monitor and evaluate its key clients, vendors and
suppliers to determine the extent that SCRI is vulnerable to those third
parties' possible failure to become Year 2000 compliant. SCRI expects to
develop contingency plans throughout 1999, on an as needed basis to address
these concerns, where reasonable to do so. These plans may include
identifying and securing alternate suppliers of services and other measures
considered appropriate by management. Once developed, the contingency plans
will be continually refined, as additional information becomes available.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
This summary of significant accounting policies of Strategic Capital
Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries (hereinafter "Strategic" or the "Company")
is presented to assist in understanding the consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the
Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and
objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted
accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of
the consolidated financial statements.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Strategic Capital Resources, Inc. (formerly JJFN Services, Inc.) for the
years ended June 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997, and of its inactive, wholly-owned
subsidiary, JJFN Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings") from its date of acquisition,
May 15, 1996 and of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Model Funding I, L.L.C.
("MFI") from its date of inception, July 7, 1997. Intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
History and business activity
The Company is engaged in three lines of business, all with major homebuilders
and real estate developers:
1) The purchase and leaseback of fully-furnished model homes.
2) The contract acquisition, development and sale of real estate.
3) The purchase and leaseback of commercial real estate.
From its inception through June 30, 1999, the Company has purchased a total of
307 model homes and sold 170, resulting in a portfolio of 137 model homes
owned at June 30, 1999. All such purchases have been from nine
nationally-known, homebuilders and real estate developers. Concurrent
therewith, the Company entered into arrangements to lease the units back to
the builders under operating lease agreements (Note 3). The Company also
acquired and sold a tract of land which was being developed by a homebuilder
(Note 3).

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Bankruptcy-remote special-purpose subsidiary
During 1997, the Company formed Model Funding I, L.L.C. ("MFI"), a
wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote, special-purpose subsidiary. A
bankruptcy-remote entity is established in a fashion intended to minimize the
possibility that the entity could become a debtor in a bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding. A special-purpose entity is established with a limited
purpose. It is generally not authorized under its certificate of
incorporation to incur liabilities or engage in business except in ways that
are necessary or advisable in connection with the securitization in which it
is to be involved. MFI was formed for the exclusive purpose of acquiring
model homes and leasing them back to a single major real estate developer and
homebuilder until such time as they are sold to third parties.
In connection with the acquisition of model homes, MFI entered into loan
agreements which impose restrictions applicable only to MFI. These
restrictions are not applicable to the Company. The restrictive covenants
impose limits on the following: (a) employees, (b) operating costs, (c)
asset acquisitions, (d) a single lessee, (e) minimum dollar value of lease
payments, (f) incurring additional debt without prior approval, and (g)
transaction duration.
Due to the limited nature and short life of MFI's business, the restrictive
covenants of the loan documents and the additional surety bonds described in
Note 3, MFI is not depreciating the model homes acquired.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments", which requires the disclosure of the fair market
value of off- and on-balance sheet financial instruments. The carrying value
of all financial instruments, including long-term and short-term debt, cash
and temporary cash investments, approximates their fair value at year end.
Year 2000
The Company recognizes the need to ensure its operations will not be adversely
impacted by Year 2000 software failures. Software failures due to processing
errors potentially arising from calculations using the Year 2000 date are a
known risk. The Company has addressed this risk to the availability and
integrity of financial systems and the reliability of operational systems.
The Company believes that it will not be adversely affected by the Year 2000
conversion.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration
of credit risk, consist principally of cash and net assets realizable on
divestiture, which consists of a note receivable (Note 10).
F-8
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Concentration of credit risk (continued)
At June 30, 1999, the Company had cash balances with two banks which were, in
the aggregate, $322,259 in excess of the $100,000 limit insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In addition, there is off-balance
sheet risk to the extent of outstanding checks. Based on credit analysis of
the financial institutions with which it does business, the Company believes
it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. The Company also
has one cash account with a restricted balance of $50,000 at June 30, 1999 and
1998.
Through June 30, 1999, the Company has purchased model homes located in
Florida, Colorado, North Carolina, Virginia, Texas, New Jersey, New York,
Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Minnesota. All such homes have been leased
to nine different major homebuilders and real estate developers (Note 3).
Depreciation
Revenue-producing assets (consisting of model homes on lease) and office
furniture and equipment are carried at cost. Office furniture and equipment
(included in miscellaneous other assets) is depreciated on the straight-line
method over a five-year period.
Through the year ended June 30, 1997, the Company depreciated all model homes
on lease on the straight-line method over a 30-year period. During the years
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company changed its policy regarding
depreciation of model homes on lease. The reasons for the change were
twofold. First, the establishment of additional surety bonds as described in
Note 3 serve as credit enhancements which effectively eliminate the Company's
risk of selling model homes at less than their purchase price. Second,
eliminating depreciation in such instances achieves a better matching of
revenues and expenses. Management believes that recording depreciation
expense in one year and gain on sale of the property in a subsequent year
results in a distortion of earnings which is eliminated by ceasing to
depreciate any properties which are covered by the additional surety bonds
mentioned above. Accumulated depreciation which was previously recognized is
being reversed over a 12-month period and his been recorded as a reduction of
cost of model homes sold. For the year ended June 30, 1999, such reversal of
previously recognized accumulated depreciation recorded as a reduction of cost
of model homes sold totalled approximately $170,000. Model homes which are
not covered by such additional surety bonds continue to be depreciated on the
straight-line method over a 30-year period.
Maintenance and repairs are the responsibility of the lessee under the terms
of the leases. Gains or losses or disposition of model homes are included in
income.
Depreciation expense was $98,332, $725,949, and $465,295 for the years ended
June 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
F-9
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Accounting standards changes
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121")
which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The
Company has adopted SFAS 121 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.
However, its adoption has not had any material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position. SFAS 121 provides additional guidance on
when long-lived assets should be reviewed for possible impairment, how
impairment losses should be measured and when such losses should be
recognized. In addition to long-lived assets, SFAS 121 amended the
accounting standards for valuing real estate assets to the lower of cost or
fair value less cost to sell (for certain assets the lower of cost or fair
value) from the lower of cost or net realizable value.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued "Accounting
for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1995. With respect to stock options
granted to employees, SFAS 123 permits companies to continue using the
accounting method promulgated by the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," to measure
compensation or to adopt the fair value-based method prescribed by SFAS 123.
The Company has elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation in
accordance with APB 25 and therefore, SFAS 123 has no effect on the financial
statements of the Company for the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997.
Under APB 25, the Company does not recognize compensation expense for its
stock option plans as options are granted at an exercise price equal to, or
greater than, the market price, the Company would then recognize compensation
expense in an amount equal to the excess of the market value of the
underlying stock over the exercise price of the stock option. If the APB 25
method is continued and if the differences are material, pro forma
disclosures are required as if SFAS 123 accounting provisions were followed.
No pro forma disclosures have been presented since, in the opinion of
management, the effect of the application of such provision is immaterial to
the financial statements for the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130") which is effective for years beginning
after December 15, 1997. This statement establishes standards for reporting
and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income consists of
foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gain and losses on
certain investments in debt and equity securities and minimum pension
liability adjustments. The Company currently has no items of comprehensive
income and therefore the pronouncement has had no impact on the Company's
financial statements.
F-10
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Earnings (loss) per common share
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards "Earnings Per Share", ("SFAS 128") which
requires companies to present basic earnings per share (EPS) and diluted
earnings per share. The new standard, which is effective for all public
companies for reporting periods ending after December 15, 1997, requires
restatement of EPS for all prior periods reported. Under the requirements of
SFAS 128, the Company's basic loss per share for the year ended June 30, 1997
remains the same. Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by
dividing the net income or loss applicable to common stock shareholders by
the weighed average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income
or loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common
share equivalents then outstanding using the treasury-stock method.
Conversion of dilutive securities are not presented for the years ended June
30, 1998 and 1997 because they are anti-dilutive.

In addition, the Company's 400,000 shares of preferred stock are convertible
into 400,000 shares of common stock. Such conversion has not been assumed
since the effect on earnings per share would be anti-dilutive.

2. Deferred charges and goodwill
Deferred charges and goodwill consist of the following:
June 30,
1999 1998
-------- --------
Deferred finance charges $434,557 $373,712
Deferred offering costs 62,160 62,160
Deferred income tax asset 49,000 375,000
Goodwill 22,714 34,828
-------- --------
$568,431 $845,700
======== ========
Deferred finance charges are carried at cost. Amortization is provided on the
straight-line method over the lives of the loans to which the deferred
finance charges relate. Amortization expense of deferred finance charges was
$482,490 for the year ended June 30, 1999, $443,797 for the year ended June
30, 1998, $229,936 for the year ended June 30, 1997. Accumulated
amortization of deferred finance charges totaled $1,180,273, $697,783 and
$256,285 at June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Goodwill is carried at cost and is being amortized over a fifteen-year period.
Amortization expense of goodwill was $12,114 for each of the years ended June
30, 1999, 1998 and 1997. Accumulated amortization of goodwill was $37,856,
$25,742 and $13,628 at June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
3. Leasing and option fee arrangements
Leasing arrangements
The Company has entered into a series of operating leases with nine different
major homebuilders and real estate developers (the "Lessees") (Note 1) which
provide for monthly lease payments equal to approximately 1% of the Company's
purchase price of each property. Under the terms of the lease agreements,
all expenses arising during the term of the lease shall be paid by the Lessee
including, but not limited to, utilities, homeowner association assessments,
maintenance, insurance and real estate taxes. Monthly revenue from leases
outstanding at June 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997 was $355,685, $386,877, and
$214,093, respectively.
The leases terminate only upon the sale of the model homes. In connection
therewith, the Company has entered into listing agreements with brokerage
affiliates of some of the Lessees. Such agreements specify that the
commission to the affiliate shall range from 2% to 3% of the sales price of
the home. The agreements also provide for sales incentives to the brokers.
The sales price may not be less than the original cash closing purchase price
unless the Lessee elects to pay any deficiency at the closing.
F-12
3. Leasing and option fee arrangements (continued)
Leasing arrangements (continued)
All Lessees are required to provide a surety bond or equivalent financial
instrument in order to assure the performance of their obligations. The
financial instruments provided by Lessees are equal to 5% of the Company's
purchase price including related costs.
In many cases, the Company has obtained additional surety bonds which serve as
a credit enhancement facility. The Lease Bond insures the timely payment by
the lessee of the lease payments. In the event of default by the lessee, the
surety has an obligation to continue to make the lease payments. The Company
negotiates the premium for the surety bonds on a case by case basis. All
such surety bonds have been obtained from major domestic based insurance
companies rated "A" through "AAA". The intent of these arrangements is to
reduce cost of funds and thereby increase profitability.
Option fee arrangements
During September 1996, the Company acquired a 70-acre tract of land to be
developed by a homebuilder for 370 residential units at a cost of $8,591,956.
In addition, the Company entered into a development agreement to reimburse
the homebuilder up to a maximum of $4,500,000 for site development costs.
Any excess costs are for the sole account of the homebuilder. In addition,
the Company entered into a purchase option agreement whereby the developer
agreed to purchase the property on a finished-lot basis over a scheduled
three- year period and to provide a $1,719,000 deposit and post a performance
bond to secure their performance under the development agreement. During the
period from the Company's original acquisition of the land until the
developer purchases the finished lots, the developer was obligated to pay a
non-refundable monthly option fee equal to 1% of the Company's total costs
including acquisition cost, closing costs, plus sums paid under the
development agreement.
During June 1997, the Company was advised by the homebuilder that it was
electing to fully exercise its option to purchase the approximate 70-acre
tract of land being developed for 370 residential units and terminate the
development agreement. The homebuilder exercised the option on July 3, 1997,
and purchased the property for the sum of $8,591,956.

5. Stockholder loans payable
Stockholder loans payable arose from advances various stockholders made to the
Company. The notes are payable on demand and accrue interest at 9%.
Interest on stockholder notes payable totaled $108,663 for the year ended
June 30, 1999, $103,252 for the year ended June 30, 1998, and $33,815 for the
year ended June 30, 1997.
During the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the Company issued a
total of 1,959,000, 2,101,094, and 1,026,000 warrants, respectively, to
stockholders who had made loans to the Company. The warrants are exercisable
at the fair value of the stock on the date the warrant was issued. The
exercise price ranges from $0.12 to $0.47 per share. To date, none of the
warrants have been exercised.
Under the terms of an indemnity agreement described in Note 10, during
September and October 1996, $1,223,250 of stockholder loans were utilized to
offset stockholder obligations which arose from sales of marketable
securities.
6. Stockholders' equity
Convertible preferred stock
On November 2, 1995, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its 6% participating
preferred stock. Each share is convertible into one share of the Company's
common stock commencing in December 1996. Dividends may be declared on the
basis of a 50% participation in the rental revenue stream up to $60,000 per
year. The preferred stock is redeemable at the option of the Company, on the
basis of 105% within the first six-month period, 104% within the second
six-month period, 103% within the third six-month period, 102% within the
fourth six-month period, 101% within the fifth six-month period and 100%
thereafter.
During July 1996, the Company paid a $15,000 distribution on its preferred
stock, $10,000 of which had been accrued as of June 30, 1996. Such
distribution was made out of additional paid-in capital due to the lack of
available retained earnings. No other distribution were declared or paid
during the years ended June 30, 1997 or 1998, as a result of a dispute as to
which of two unaffiliated parties were entitled to receive the distributions.
During July 1998, the Company's Chairman acquired the preferred stock thereby
ending the dispute. During the year ended June 30, 1999, the Company resumed
payment of preferred distributions in arrears. Such payments totalled
$90,000. As of June 30, 1999, there are $85,000 of unpaid distributions
still in arrears. The Company is paying such arrearage at the rate of $5,000
per month.
Warrants
In conjunction with a loan agreement entered into by a former subsidiary, IECM
(Note 10) in December 1995, the Company issued 1,200,000 warrants which are
convertible into 1,200,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $.001 per
share. In August 1996, 700,000 warrants were exercised and the Company
issued 700,000 shares of common stock.
F-16
6. Stockholders' equity (continued)
Stock option plan
During August 1996, the Company established an Equity Incentive Plan (the
"Plan") to attract and retain key employees, to provide an incentive for them
to achieve long-range performance goals and to enable them to participate in
the long-term growth of the Company. Under the terms of the plan, the
Company may award Incentive Stock Options which are intended to qualify under
Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code. All such options may be exercised
during a four-year period commencing one year from the date of the option
grant and terminating five years from date of issuance.
The following is a summary of option transactions during the years ended June
30, 1999, 1998 and 1997:

7. Income taxes
The Company has a $164,263 net operating loss available for carryforward to
offset future years' taxable income. The net operating loss expires in 2012.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences in reporting assets and
liabilities for income tax and financial accounting purposes primarily
resulting from net operating losses.
During the year ended June 30, 1997, the Company eliminated its deferred tax
asset valuation allowance which stood at $46,000 as of June 30, 1996. Based
on estimates of future revenues and profitability, management believes that
the Company will utilize its net operating loss to offset future taxable
income prior to its expiration date.

8. Supplemental cash flow information
The Company's non-cash investing and financing activities were as follows:
During the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the Company acquired
model homes and real estate at a cost of $16,813,539, $26,170,860, and

receivable in the amount of $1,312,500.
As a result of an indemnity agreement entered into with a significant
shareholder (Note 9) the Company satisfied losses on sales of marketable

The agreement are subject to the following conditions; (I) satisfactory

Model home sale contracts
As of June 30, 1999, and through the report date, the Company had sales
contracts pending on 35 model homes at an aggregate sales price of
$9,785,106. The model homes were acquired at an aggregate cost of $9,413,033.
Qualified retirement plan
During the year ended June 30, 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of a
savings incentive match plan for employees ("SIMPLE") which covers
substantially all employees of the Company. The SIMPLE is a qualified plan
under the provisions of The Internal Revenue Code which permits employees to
make elective contributions to a retirement plan on a pre- tax basis. The
Company makes a matching contribution which totaled $11,514, $6,159 and
$3,180 for the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Indemnity agreement
During July 1996, the Company entered into an indemnity agreement with a
significant shareholder, which induced Strategic not to sell its shares of
Antares Resources Corporation ("Antares"), a publicly-held company whose
stock was traded on the NASDAQ Small-Cap Stock Market. The Company's
investment represented approximately 3% of the outstanding common stock of
Antares. The shareholder agreed that if Strategic, in the future, sold any
shares at a price less than the market value of the shares at their date of
acquisition ($2.50 per share), the shareholder would contribute additional
shares of Antares common stock, or other property, having a fair market value
equal to such difference.
During September 1996, Strategic sold 485,000 shares of Antares, which were
acquired at a cost of $1,212,500, for $218,250, and in October 1996 sold
100,000 shares of Antares, which were acquired at a cost of $250,000, for
$21,000. Since the shareholder agreed to indemnify Strategic if the
marketable securities were sold at less than cost, no loss was recorded on the
sale. The deficiency of $1,223,250 was satisfied by offsetting $1,223,250 of
loans due to the shareholder.

9. Commitments and contingencies (continued)
Financing activities
At June 30, 1999, the Company had approximately $8.7 million of unused,
committed credit facilities available under existing revolving loan
agreements which may be utilized to acquire model homes in accordance with
the terms of those agreements. Such credit facilities expire January through
August 2000.
As a part of its ongoing business, the Company is in constant discussion with
financial institutions for credit facilities, as well as private or public
placements of its debt or equity securities. An offering or private
placement of senior notes with warrants, convertible preferred stock or
similar type of security is currently being evaluated. It is the policy of
the Company not to incur costs from activation of credit facilities unless
and until needed.
Legal proceedings
The Company filed suit against BankAtlantic Bancorp., Inc., and BankAtlantic,
a federal savings bank, in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in
and for Palm Beach County, Florida, by complaint dated December 30, 1998.
The complaint charges a breach of fiduciary duty and seeks unspecified
damages in that the defendant, undertook to act as agent or broker in
connection with obtaining a $200 million loan facility, relating to a sale and
lease back program for a major, publicly-traded national builder. Rather
than complete the financing transaction, the complaint alleges economic
opportunity was usurped by defendant and entered into an agreement directly
with the builder, utilizing inter alia, the terms of the Company's program.
The Company believes that it has a meritorious claim and should prevail.
The Company filed a lawsuit in June 1999, against Monarch Investment
Properties, Inc., formerly known as Iron Holdings Corp., Iron Eagle
Contracting and Mechanical, Inc., Tahoe Realty Corp., Anthony Gurino, Dennis
Sommesso, and others, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County
of Queens. The action asserts seven separate causes of action arising out of
a default in payment of a $1,100,000 promissory note evidencing moneys due to
the Company from Monarch / Iron Holdings as a result of its purchase of
certain corporate stock of Iron Eagle from the Company (Note 10).
Based on information currently available to the Company, it anticipates that
it will collect the outstanding balance, accrued interest, as well as
collection costs. The Company has not accrued interest on the note since
March 31, 1999.
The Company believes that it has a meritorious claim and should prevail.
The Company is not presently involved in any other material litigation nor, to
its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Company or
its properties, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course
of business.
