PART I
Item 1. Description of Business.
TOLLYCRAFT YACHT CORPORATION was originally incorporated in December 1992 in
the State of Minnesota as Child Guard Corporation. The Company changed its
name from Child Guard Corporation to Tollycraft Yacht Corporation concurrent
with the merger on January 1, 1996 of Child Guard Corporation and Tollycraft
Acquisition Corporation, a company registered in the State of Washington. In
1994 Tollycraft Acquisition Corporation had purchased substantially all of the
operating assets of the original Tollycraft Corporation, a Washington
corporation which was operating under a confirmed Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan
of reorganization. On December 12, 1996 the Company changed its state of
registration from Minnesota and is now duly organized and registered in the
State of Nevada.

History and Acquisition
Child Guard Corporation was formed in 1992 as a development stage company to
develop and market a child monitoring device. The developed product was not
marketed and in 1995 the Company began merger talks with Tollycraft
Acquisition Corporation.
Tollycraft as a business entity has existed in various forms since 1936. The
original corporation was wholly owned by R.M. Tollefson and was first
incorporated in the State of Washington in 1936 under the name of Central
Lumber Company ("CLC"). CLC manufactured fine furniture and cabinetry. As an
adjunct to this regular line of business, Mr. Tollefson also produced several
custom boats for friends and himself.
As the reputation of his boat building talents spread, the demand for custom
manufactured boats surpassed the demand for furniture and cabinets. With a
dedicated group of proficient cabinet makers and his own expert knowledge of
yacht design a complete line of wooden cruisers was launched. Mr. Tollefson
subsequently transferred the assets of his pleasure boat manufacturing
operations, "Tollycraft", to CLC in 1955. Concurrently, the name of CLC was
changed to Tollycraft Corporation.
For more than fifty years Mr. Tollefson actively designed and built pleasure
cruisers and yachts to meet the specialized needs of cruising enthusiasts.
His understanding of the demands of extended voyages came from personal
experiences on the water cruising yachts which bear his name. Suggestions
gathered from fellow boater's also were incorporated into the many Tollycraft
models produced over the history of the Company.
A chronological synopsis of "Tollycraft" is as follows:
1932 - Mr. Tollefson, while involved in the cabinets business, started
building boats for himself.
1936 - Tollycraft commenced pleasure boat manufacturing as a sole
proprietorship in Kelso, Washington, after building and selling the first boat
which exhibited the quality he demanded.
1941 - World War II interrupted boat building while Mr. Tollefson served in
the U.S. Coast Guard.
1946 - Central Lumber Company was incorporated in the State of Washington.
1952 - A fire destroyed Central Lumber Company's plant and equipment; after
that the company narrowed the scope of its business activities to boat
manufacturing.
1955 - The assets of the sole proprietorship boat manufacturing operations
were transferred to Central Lumber Company, Mr. Tollefson's wholly owned
company; concurrently the name was changed to Tollycraft Corporation.
1958 - Tollycraft built a plant in the Kelso Industrial Park on 14 acres of
land and commenced operations in the new 65,000 square foot building in 1959.
1967 - Tollycraft Yachts began manufacturing fiberglass hulls starting with
the conversion of the 24', 28', 30', and 34' wooden hull designs into
fiberglass.
1970 - The last wooden hull boat was built. The very successful 34' Sedan was
the first "keel up" fiberglass design, which sold 194 units in 11 years, and
set the Tollycraft design trend for the 1970's.
1987 - Mr. Tollefson retired from Tollycraft and took a relaxed role in the
marine industry as Chairman Emeritus of Tollycraft. Tollycraft Corporation, a
then public company, was taken private and merged through a leveraged buyout,
into Olympic Equities, Inc. Thereafter, Olympic Equities, Inc. changed its
name to Tollycraft Yachts Corporation. As with many leveraged buyouts of the
1980's, the transaction was ill-fated and threatened the long term financial
stability of the Company.
1989 - A group of investors purchased Tollycraft and provided capital to
reduce debt and increase working capital for continued operations. However,
the economic downturn and the passage of the 10 percent luxury tax caused
Tollycraft, as well as every other luxury boat builder in the United States,
to sustain substantial operating losses. The Company subsequently filed for
protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on November 5,1993.
1994 - A group of investors formed Tollycraft Acquisition Corporation and
effective June 6, 1994 purchased substantially all of the operating assets of
the old company.
1996 - Tollycraft Acquisition Corporation was acquired, in a merger
transaction, by Child Guard Corporation which concurrently changed its name to
Tollycraft Yacht Corporation.
1997 - Tollycraft management closes the Washington manufacturing plant and
begins planning to relocate Corporate offices to Florida and to relocate
production facilities to an marine oriented industrial complex in Mexico.
Tollycraft Yacht Corporation is a builder of high quality cruising motor
yachts. The yachts are luxuriously equipped and built with the highest
structural integrity to ensure safe, long range cruising. The current line of
yachts is as follows:
48' Cockpit Motor Yacht
57' Pilothouse Walkaround Motor Yacht
57' Pilothouse Widebody Motor Yacht
65' Pilothouse Motor Yacht
Current plans for new products include the following:
48' Convertible Motor Yacht
48' Pilothouse Motor Yacht
52' Pilothouse Motor Yacht
54' Convertible Motor Yacht
76' - 82' Pilothouse Motor Yacht
Long-term plans for new products include the following:
30' - 44' 4 models of Motor Yachts
30' - 44' 4 models of Convertible Motor Yachts
92' - 150' Semi-custom and Custom Motor Yacht
Design drawings and plans for the 52', 54', and 76' - 82' models have been
completed. The hull form for each model has also been tank tested.
All Tollycraft yachts have a 15 year transferable hull warranty, the longest
and most comprehensive warranty in the industry. To date, there has never
been a manufacturing related hull failure. Tollycraft Yachts are designed for
owner convenience and overall functionality. The electrical and mechanical
systems are laid out and installed for ease of use and maintenance.
Tollycraft incorporates intelligent engineering, manufacturing integrity,
quality craftsmanship, and the patented "Quadralift Hull" construction into
all its vessels, thus ensuring to Tollycraft customers a truly seaworthy
yacht.
Intelligent Engineering
Recent advancements have been made in controls, steering engines and gears
designed for use in large motoryachts. While Tollycraft exercises due caution
in adopting new systems until they are thoroughly tested and proven, the most
reliable of these are offered as standard or optional equipment.
State of the art components such as MMC electronic controls, custom AC/ DC
electrical, central chilled water heating and air conditioning, vacuum bagged
divinycell cored hull and deck structures, fully integrated electrical panels
and switches, Hynautic hydraulic steering, fuel distribution manifolds, and
oil lubricated shaft stuffing boxes are but a few of the advanced systems
utilized in Tollycraft yachts.
Modern systems are of little benefit however, if they are improperly
integrated into the complete yacht. That is why Tollycraft engineers are
careful to match technology with function.
Critical components, such as engines and generator sets (gensets) are matched
to the specific needs of each vessel and each owner. Engine selections
include MAN, Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel and MTU products. Gensets are
manufactured by either ONAN or Northern Lights.
All fiberglass lay-up schedules are verified by an outside consulting engineer
and tested by an independent laboratory. All lamination takes place in a
controlled environment. Temperature and humidity conditions are continuously
monitored and recorded to ensure materials are applied within the
manufacturer's specifications. Core materials are vacuum bagged to the
laminate to ensure proper bonding and structural integrity.
Wiring systems have been redesigned and simplified. Wire harnesses have been
developed which meet or exceed all industry standards. Plug type connectors,
designed to withstand the marine environment, have been incorporated to ease
installation and minimize owner maintenance. All Tollycraft wire harnesses
are color coded in accordance with NMMA and ABYC specifications.
New products are ergonomically designed. Line of sight, ease of passage and
mobility restriction are just a few of the human factors Tollycraft's
designers consider on every new project. Primary consideration is given to
safety and functionality. Tollycraft's engineering department is committed to
product excellence. Every aspect of the final product must function as well
as it looks.
Every phase of the production process is scrutinized by engineering staff and
production personnel. New techniques and processes are developed and
implemented to achieve cost savings, quality and product integrity.
Cooperative efforts maximize the efficiency of both departments.
Product standardization and documentation ensure Tollycraft's ability to
purchase and manufactured accurately and efficiently. Whenever possible,
common parts and processes are employed throughout the various models to
minimize training and maximize productivity.
New Tollycraft yachts feature an impressive list of standard equipment. In
addition, many options are available for the customer to choose from. If
owners wish to further personalize their yacht, Tollycraft's engineering
department will create custom designs upon request. Custom options are not
inexpensive, but they afford the owner an opportunity to create a truly unique
and personal yacht while maintaining the advantages and savings of a
standardized production process.
Manufacturing Integrity
New ideas and designs are worth little if they do not stand up to the
structural mechanical and electrical integrity that is the foundation for
Tollycraft cruising yachts' reputation. Tollycraft's manufacturing integrity
gives the owner justifiable confidence in his vessel. Over 62 years of
building cruising yachts has taught us it takes more than words to instill
confidence in a skipper who invests his money and the safety of his crew in a
yacht.
Tollycraft's are known as seaworthy yachts. Everyday cruising takes the
yachts into waters that test a hull rigorously and it takes more than a tough
hull to survive rough sea conditions. Accordingly, every stringer is
encapsulated into the hull, every bulkhead is fiberglassed to the hull, every
wood component is glued and reinforced with screws, and wiring and plumbing
are fastened every few inches. Any component, whether purchased or
manufactured is proven to withstand the rigors of the marine environment.
Dry rot, once the bane of wooden boats, still attacks modern yachts if
precautions are not taken. For this reason, Tollycraft uses premium
straight-grained mahogany for deck, cabinet and bulkhead framing. This rot
resistant wood is then encapsulated with fiberglass wherever it might be
exposed to bilge water.
Engines, generators and other mechanical equipment are securely installed,
with special strengthening given to areas of extra stress such as rudder posts
and shaft logs. The entire mechanical structure is electronically bonded with
a heavy copper strap that employs a shaft sweep to make positive electrical
contact to external metal parts.
For strength and waterproofing, the hull deck and cabin structures are bonded
and screwed through overlapping fiberglass. Specially designed window frames
overlap their cabin side openings which eliminates the possibility of leakage.
Decks are cored with closed cell foam for stiffening and to eliminate any
feeling of resilience underfoot. Even shower stalls are laid up of heavy
fiberglass so they don't creak or bend when used by a normal sized adult.
Integrity is much more than a slogan at Tollycraft. It is the foundation of
our customers' confidence in our vessels.
The Quadralift Hull
Editors of boating magazines have been exposed to every claim about hull
design that the mind can dream up. Naturally they are skeptical when
reviewing the sea trials on any new hull. However, almost without exception,
editors who have tested Tollycrafts' have reported that the Quadralift hull
works as claimed.
Naval Architect Ed Monk Jr., who designed the original "Quadralift" hull for
the Tollycraft 61' Motor Yacht, won't call his design revolutionary, but
rather the "latest in hull technology ... the culmination of everything we've
learned about hulls over the years."
While Quadralift varies from model to model its cupped dual chine separates
this hull from others. With the waterline midway between the two chines, the
Quadralift acts as an effective spray knocker, throwing spray horizontally
away from the hull. Deflecting the spray not only delivers a dry ride, but
increases efficiency by reducing the amount of wetted surface (drag) along the
hull.
The design of the Quadralift provides extra buoyancy at the bow, permitting a
finer entry and reducing the tendency to broach in a following sea. In a
chop, or at anchor, the Quadralift has a roll dampening effect, and with this
extra stability comes extra comfort. But the most dramatic demonstration of
this remarkable hull comes when you ease the throttles forward and feel your
Tollycraft rise effortlessly onto plane and handle smoothly at any speed. A
nearly full-length keel aids the tracking through turns and gives you
excellent control during slow speed maneuvering.
Product Line Enhancements
Tollycraft management believes that improvement is a process, not a project
and should be accomplished on an incremental basis. Accordingly, key tactics
supporting this strategy focus on developing and maintaining a process which
empowers Tollycraft employees, contractors, vendors, dealers and customers to
provide input for product improvement on a continuous basis.
The Company is planning to expand its existing product line with new
complementary products. Existing models have been redesigned and additional
reengineering for modular assembly will improve the quality of finished
yachts. Exterior and interior styling is an ongoing process to provide
Tollycraft customers with up to date design enhancements.. An additional
benefit will be lower manufacturing costs.
The most significant enhancement by the Company to its product line will be
the implementation of a relatively new fiberglass laminating technique named
for its developers. SCRIMP (Seeman Composites Resin Infusion Molding Process)
is a procedure which eliminates 90% of harmful V.O.C. emissions while
dramatically lowering labor and material costs. This process allows the skins
and structural stiffeners of the yacht to be infused in a one step process.
This method of construction replaces the traditional labor intensive multi-
step multi-layer laminating process previously used by the Company and still
used by the vast majority of yacht builders within the industry. The process
allows dry lay-up of materials resulting in a cleaner, healthier work
environment. Exposure to wet resins and accompanying harmful emissions are
minimized. Direct labor costs are reduced significantly. Production cost
savings are also realized with reduced expenses for costly protective clothing
and expensive air handling and emission filtration systems. Testing by the
U.S. Navy using standard ASTM tests has shown that the use of SCRIMP based
manufacturing methods has virtually eliminated detectable voids in finished
laminates. This level of quality and structural integrity are inherently
difficult to obtain using older multi-step layer laminating techniques.
The Company is planning the purchase of a 5 AXIS high speed CNC router system.
This machine would allow the production of plugs and molds in 60 days rather
than the typical 9 to 15 month schedule required when building molds and
tooling by hand. The machine will process digital information generated by
the Company's CAD system and that of outside naval architects and cut a mold
or plug with little labor costs incurred. The Company plans on producing
molds and plugs for their own use as a priority. Additional revenue could
also be generated by building molds, tooling and completed parts for other
companies and custom yacht builders.
The Company plans to lead the industry in the production of yachts, molds and
tooling utilizing these methods.
Industry Analysis and Competition
The U.S. market for pleasure boats has undergone many changes over the last
decade. In 1986, 1987 and 1988 sales of pleasure boats skyrocketed by 18.7%,
28.5%, and 14.9%, respectively. Consumer confidence was high and U.S. exports
of pleasure boats were booming. In total, manufacturers' sales of pleasure
boats expanded by over 75% in those three years.
Manufacturers' sales of inboard/outdrive boats finished out a six-year growth
surge with total growth of approximately 160% between 1984 and 1988. Outboard
and inboard motorboats also increased, with total manufacturers' sales growth
of 87.9% and 96.3%, respectively, during the same period. The only pleasure
boats that did not benefit from this prosperity were sailboats, a market which
continued to suffer from declining demand.
The last cyclical downturn in the economy (the recession of 1989-1991) hit the
industry hard, as a number of factors combined to set the stage for a severe
slump in manufacturers' sales. Among the factors significantly impacting the
market for pleasure boats in the U.S. were the collapse of the financing
structure of the industry, savings and loan crisis, changing consumer
confidence in the economy, and fluctuating U.S. pleasure boat exports.
Making matters worse for pleasure boat manufacturers, in 1991 Congress passed
a 10% luxury tax on all pleasure boats costing more than $100,000. Although
this tax was repealed in 1993, the damage was already done.
In 1992 the positive effects of the recovering U. S. economy reached the
pleasure boat industry. Consumer confidence in the economy was starting on
its upward climb towards a significant height in 1993, and banks began to
loosen the credit restraints on boat loans as interest rates continued to
decline. Consumers began to buy new boats again. Disposable income was up,
the luxury tax was repealed, and consumers had a rosier outlook on the
economy.
The market for pleasure boats embarked on its recovery as manufacturers' sales
increased by 9.8% to $3.1 billion during 1992. Two more good years followed
in 1993 and 1994, when sales rose by 11.8% and 9.4%, respectively. In 1995,
sales in the pleasure boat industry grew faster than they had since 1988,
increasing by 12.1% to 4.3 billion dollars. Annual growth rates in the value
of manufacturer sales in both 1996 and 1997 have been estimated by Business
Trend Analysts at over 4.4 billion dollars.
Overall growth in manufacturers' sales of pleasure boats over the next ten
years is projected at 6.9% annually. Business Trend Analysts expects the
total manufacturers' market for pleasure boats to climb to just above $7.746
billion by 2006. The following table shows the annual sales of such boats:

Primary Competitors
Tollycraft's primary competition can be divided into two categories, Domestic
and Foreign
Domestic: Tollycraft's main competition is from Hatteras, Viking, and, to a
lesser extent, Bertram, Sea Ray, Ocean and Carver. Hatteras is the perceived
market leader, on the East Coast (including the Great Lakes and Gulf of
Mexico) and its dealer network is very strong. They have a full line of
yachts both in the cruiser and yacht fisher segments. Hatteras' yachts are
priced anywhere from 10 to 20 percent higher than Tollycraft on the East
Coast.
Foreign: Tollycraft has competition from the Taiwanese manufactured Ocean
Alexander and to a lesser extent, various Canadian manufacturers. These
competitors have built a reputation for emulating Tollycraft's products using
extremely cheap labor and trying to under price and undercut Tollycraft's
market on the West Coast. The offshore competitors basically sell a lower
quality product for a lower price. In addition, Canadian competitors reappear
with the cyclical swings of the Canadian dollar. These include Sunship by
Westbay, and Queenship. Tollycraft competes well against these manufacturers.
The Company believes that foreign competition is the greatest challenge to
increasing current market share. From 1991 to 1997, imports of pleasure boats
into the United States has increased from $212,496,000 to $1,177,003,000
respectively. Foreign companies all have significantly lower labor rates and
overall manufacturing costs. Some receive financial support from governments.
Although a majority of the products offered by foreign competitors are
substandard, some manufacturers are increasing their quality every year.
Competitive Advantage
Tollycraft's primary competitive advantage results from the high quality of
its product. The Company has never had a manufacturing related hull failure
and customers have shown themselves willing to pay a premium for this quality.
Tollycraft's products have historically had a high resale value and have
proven to be a good investment for customers.

Tollycraft's Prospects Within the Industry
Sales of large luxury motor yachts have rebounded significantly since the
repeal of the luxury tax. Tollycraft's plan is to position itself for this
continued growth. Changing U.S. demographics will also help expand the
customer base for Tollycraft yachts (see the Tollycraft Customer profile
section which follows). The Company expects to do more than maintain its
share of the growing market.
An article in Powerboat reports, "The Consumer Resource for the Powercraft
Owner reported in its feature article that Tollycraft is tops in owner
satisfaction: Tollycraft scored an A+ in overall satisfaction and a 90
percent would buy again index... The highest marks so far in Powerboat
Reports Ownership Survey... Not one Tollycraft owner was dissatisfied enough
to say he wouldn't consider buying another...This is unmatched in other
surveys. Tollycraft managed to show itself a winner in both quality and value
categories. Overall satisfaction scored an impressive A+, easily outranking
all other boats in Powerboat Reports' survey."
Customer Profile
Tollycraft's customers typically have an annual income of $150,000 or higher,
with a net worth of $500,000 or more. Based on these figures, the average
potential Tollycraft customer, nationwide, has the following profile
(Mendelsohn Media Research, Inc., New York, 1991 annual survey of affluent
households.):
Age: 48.4 years old Number of homes owned: 1.8
Value of principal residence: $363,200
Value of other real estate owned: $223,000
In addition, 45 percent have assets in their business or profession, with the
mean value of their equity being $312,303. Only 12 percent of the homeowners
have a home mortgage. (U.S. Department of Commerce Survey of Income and
Program Participation, households with net worth over $500,000)
Changing U.S. demographics mean that the large "baby boom" generation is
entering the average age of Tollycraft's customers resulting in a greater
number of qualified, potential customers in the coming decade. Resident
population in the 35 to 54 year old age group has been growing at a very
strong rate. Since 1994 it has been the largest age category in the country.
In 1980 there were 48.5 million people between the ages of 35 and 54
accounting for 21.4% of the population. By 1998 the number is estimated to
grow to 78.9 million people representing 29.2% of the U.S. population. In the
year 2000 this segment will top 81.7 million people.
Market Promotion
Company tactics designed to help achieve a strategy of promoting Tollycraft
include the following:
Dealer Manual: Documentation has been designed to include policies and
procedures, as well as a selling reference for brokers. Dealer bulletins are
issued as needed to keep manuals current.
Plant Tours: Upon relocation to Mexico, periodic open houses will be
scheduled with all staff on hand for customers and dealers.
Trade Shows and Conventions: The Company has been an attendee at major yacht
and boat shows including Superyachts Northwest, and Ft. Lauderdale, St.
Petersburg, Seattle, and Miami.
Videos: Promotional videos are complete for the 57 and 82' series along with
a complete plant tour. The Company is currently working on a video for the
new 57' and 65' lines.
Communication with Dealers: Sales staff is continually updating each dealer,
building relationships and helping to sell our products.
Dealer Meeting: This initiative is focused on creating enthusiasm for our
organization and building relationships.
Advertising: The advertising strategy is targeted at new buyers. Key tactics
include:
Specification Sheets: These have been recently reconfigured and now contain
new designs with current options and new standard equipment pricing.
Brochures: New brochures have been developed for all lines and are easily
updated.
Line Drawings: New computer generated line drawings for brokers and
advertising have been completed.
Newsletter: A Tollycraft sponsored quarterly newsletter promoting Tollycraft
and informing readers of current events has been introduced. Production cost
is fully paid for by trade advertising.
Public Relations Media Kits: Released quarterly to help promote the
Tollycraft image, inform the press, and generate editorial commentary.
Advertising Campaign: Designed to involve dealers in co-op advertising and
increase advertising exposure.
Customer Support: Tollycraft believes it is imperative to support existing
and past Tollycraft owners. They tend to upgrade their boats periodically and
a personal recommendation is one of the Company's most effective sales tools.
Rendezvous': Tollycraft has participated in regional "Tolly Rendezvous"
gatherings including Northern California, Portland, Seattle and the Great
Lakes
Factory Visits: Prospective customers will be encouraged to tour
manufacturing facilities and meet production staff.
Mailing List: The Company is currently updating the last five years of
Tollycraft owners by hull number and plans to market directly to them.

Item 2. Description of Property.
Prior to August 1997, the Company leased manufacturing and office space in an
industrial park in Kelso, Washington. The plant facilities included two
buildings totaling 180,000 square feet. In September the Company shipped out
all finished goods and ceased domestic production. The Company returned
possession of the Washington facilities to the property owner. (See "Item 6.
Management's Discussion and Analysis").
Negotiations are currently underway to relocate manufacturing facilities to
Mexico. Corporate headquarters and administrative offices are planned for a
location in southern Florida.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis.
The following narration outlines a program for Tollycraft Yacht Corporation to
continue as a builder of luxury motor yachts. It contains certain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Litigation Reform
Act of 1995 with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and
business of the company. These forward-looking statements involve certain
risks and uncertainties, and as such may involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, including unpredictable delays or
difficulties, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements
of the company to be materially different from any future results, performance
or achievements express or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this document. The
company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly
any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to
reflect any change in the company's expectations with regard thereto or any
change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is
based. (See also "Item 1. Description of Business. - Forward Looking and
Cautionary Statements")
In July of 1996 due to the absence of profitable operations, the Company
significantly reduced manufacturing activities and laid-off most non-essential
administrative staff. In August of 1997 manufacturing activities were
discontinued. Since that time Tollycraft management has concentrated it's
efforts on relocating production facilities to the Gulf Coast of Mexico and
moving administrative offices to a location in southern Florida. For a more
complete discussion of the Company's relocation plans see the Sections
entitled "Relocation of Corporate Headquarters" and "Relocation of
Manufacturing and Production".
The Company has also redesigned existing yachts, added complementary models to
the product line and developed manufacturing systems and procedures to greatly
reduce total costs of yacht construction.
Improvements are outlined as follows:
? Consolidated existing yacht models so the Company produces yachts that
have an acceptable profit margin.
? Designed and tested new yacht models that enhance the existing product
line and have a projected profit margin of at least 20%
? Developed production sequencing, staging, tasking, and man loading
systems that management believes will greatly increase production
efficiency and overall quality of the yachts while reducing direct costs
? Developed a management information system that will track labor and
material costs for each yacht under construction and produce internal
reports for proper control of production costs
? Identified key personnel positions with necessary experience to
implement and manage improved production methods
? Identified subcontractors who are capable of supplying major pre-
manufactured components. Component manufacturing and modular
construction techniques will greatly reduce direct labor costs and
overall costs of construction
? Prepared to implement environmentally safe SCRIMP laminating process for
additional labor and material cost savings
? Developed plan to purchase CNC router equipment to dramatically speed up
design and construction of molds and tooling at significantly lower
costs
? Redesigned and upgraded interior fit and finish of the yachts and
modernized mechanical and electrical systems in all models.
? Consolidated and dramatically improved the dealer organization.
Currently Tollycraft's dealer organization has floor plan financing
available to them of over $20,000,000.
? Generated a backlog of $30,000,000 in orders for new yachts.
The internal and external costs of developing these improvements to
Tollycraft's product line and manufacturing processes have been expensed when
incurred in prior financial periods.
Additional Information:
During the third quarter of 1997 the Company experienced an attempt by its
landlord to take over the Company through a forced liquidation. The property
owner, who had been a member of the Company's "Capital Formation Committee",
had agreed to accept stock in Tollycraft Yacht Corporation for his lease
payments. On July 2, 1997 the Company was served with a "Writ of
Restitution" for failure to make payments under the terms of the lease.
Prior to serving the Company with the "Writ", the landlord notified certain
key vendors, customers, and debtors of his intentions for the takeover.
On the day of the court hearing for the Writ of Restitution, the landlord
produced a document whereby Tollycraft Yacht Corporation and its officers
would agree not to sue him for tortuous interference as a direct result of his
actions. The document also required that Tollycraft not file a class action
shareholder lawsuit against him, again as a result of his actions. Tollycraft
Yacht Corporation and its officers opted to not sign any such agreement
indicating it would not be in the best interest for the Company or its
shareholders. In August, 1997 the Company vacated the manufacturing plant and
surrendered the property to the landlord. For a short time, a reduced level
of operations were relocated to a nearby warehouse to complete the then
current active construction contract.
As a result of the Writ being served, Cowlitz County filed a notice of
distraint on August 22, 1997 for the non payment of personal property tax.
This prompted the IRS to also begin proceeding against the Company for unpaid
taxes and withholdings. Vera Corporation, the senior secured debt holder for
Tollycraft, has filed a notice to the taxing authorities informing them of
their right to any of the assets of Tollycraft based on their UCC filing.
Cowlitz County subsequently filed a release of distraint on the assets on
October 17, 1997. Negotiations continue with the Internal Revenue Service and
other creditors.
In December 1997, the landlord of Tollycraft Yacht Corporation seized some of
the tangible assets of the Company including inventories, machinery and
equipment, hull molds and miscellaneous office equipment. The items were
subsequently auctioned under a landlord's lien. The Company believes based on
statute and case law and has been advised by counsel that the landlords lien
had expired and that there are several superior liens to any such landlord
lien. Consequently, the landlord had no legal authority to seize and sell the
assets. Both the landlord and the attorney for the landlord were notified
prior to the sale. The Company will vigorously pursue all of its legal
remedies in this case.
Tollycraft's Future:
Tollycraft Yacht Corporation, in its various business forms, has been
manufacturing high quality watercraft for over 63 years. In that period of
time the Company has produced some of the finest motor yachts available.
However, historically unprofitable operations and the circumstances
surrounding the Company's manufacturing facilities and landlord, require
Tollycraft management to make significant changes to the way it does business.
Relocation of Corporate Headquarters:
In recent years, 80% of the larger yachts produced by the Company have been
sold to clients located on the East Coast. The majority of these yachts were
delivered into Florida. Florida is well known throughout the world as "The
Yacht Capital of the World".
Tollycraft Yacht Corporation has announced that the Company's corporate
headquarters will be relocated from southwest Washington to southern Florida.
At this time a location in Miami is available with sufficient infrastructure
which will allow the Company to establish its offices including
administration, sales and marketing, engineering, purchasing and a
Warranty/Service Center. This southern Florida location will give Tollycraft
a much needed presence where high demand exists for yachts of Tollycraft
quality. An office in this area will also give the Company access to some of
the most talented marketing, engineering, design, and administrative employees
in the industry.
For marketing, the Company will continue utilizing the existing dealer network
and is also considering a strategic alliance with a major franchised yacht
broker. This broker anticipates 50 major yacht dealerships across the United
States and the rest of the world. Each franchisee would be required to carry
an inventory of Tollycraft vessels. This could create a great deal of demand
for Tollycraft's products.
Relocation of Manufacturing and Production:
In the past, the Company's manufacturing employees have been organized under a
union contract. Even with concessions negotiated in the most recent labor
contract, research has determined that existing contract rates are still among
the highest in the industry. With thousands of man-hours required to produce
each vessel, Tollycraft's yachts would become some of the most expensive
yachts to produce in their class. With retail prices increased to cover these
costs it became evident that Tollycraft must reduce costs or price itself out
of existence.
The most significant costs savings available to Tollycraft Yacht Corporation
will result from the Company's planned relocation of it's manufacturing
facilities from southwest Washington to a marine oriented industrial complex
in Progresso, Mexico. Tollycraft has been exploring several international
locations and has selected Progresso, Mexico over other sites considered for
several reasons.
1. Location on the Gulf of Mexico and proximity to Florida
2. The availability of an adequately trained work force
3. The area work force has a labor rate equivalent of $1.051 to $2.50 US
dollars per hour
4. Existing manufacturing facilities are available.
5. An approximate 50% reduction in the burdened costs of comparable
facilities in the U.S.
Tollycraft Yacht Corporation is currently negotiating with the owners of three
existing marine manufacturing facilities as possible joint venture partners or
acquisition candidates. The three proposed joint venture partners have over
50 years of experience building and repairing commercial vessels. The focus
of the negotiations is for the Mexican companies to provide the following:
? Manufacturing space in an existing industrial park
? Locate and prescreen the local work force to fill required production
hourly and salaried positions with adequately trained workers
? Fund manufacturing labor costs and provide payroll and other
administrative functions relating to the local work force as well as
obtain all necessary government permits
Depending on the structure of the proposed agreements Tollycraft Yacht
Corporation projects a fully burdened labor rate of $2.50 to $5.00 US per
hour. Fully burdened labor rates include hourly and salaried employees in the
Mexico facilities, manufacturing facilities costs, electricity and utilities,
Mexico MRO expenses, communication, and travel expenses. This compares to
Tollycraft's previous fully burdened labor rate at its closed U.S. facility of
approximately $27.00 per labor hour. It is anticipated that the Mexican joint
venture will fund all of the direct labor and costs of the production
buildings in Mexico.
The Company plans to build 30' to 125' yachts in Mexico, with the yachts being
built to the same standards of quality control as the products previously
manufactured by Tollycraft. Materials used in construction would remain the
same quality, with a majority of the materials being shipped from the United
States. Major savings would result from lower direct labor costs as well as
cost reductions in general and administrative expenses. In addition, this
will allow the Company to broaden its product line and again offer smaller
Tollycraft vessels that had previously been discontinued because domestic
manufacturing costs became prohibitive.
The management of Tollycraft are continuing efforts to raise funds in order to
proceed with this business plan. Alternatives being considered to improve the
Company's financial position include converting current debt to equity through
the issuance of preferred shares and the sale of common shares to raise
working capital.
Toward this goal, the Company has signed an Investment Banking Agreement with
Lloyd Wade Securities of Dallas, Texas, for a Private Placement of $2,500,000
to provide the necessary capital for Tollycraft to go forward with its plans.
The Company also plans on issuing preferred shares of its stock to convert
substantially all currently existing debt to equity and to repay all vendors
and noteholders at 100%. This will leave the Company debt free with a
positive equity section and funding for operations.
Results of Operations:
The Company operated at a greatly reduced capacity during the entire year.
This is attributed to continuing unprofitable operations and the resulting
lack of working capital caused by the losses. In August, the Company ceased
all manufacturing activity. The last yacht completed was shipped in
September.
During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company incurred a net loss of
$(3,041,401) which included excess plant capacity charges of $482,393. For
the year ended December 31, 1996, the net loss was $(11,633,426). The Company
also incurred a negative cash flow from operations of $(893,012) for the year
ended December 31, 1997. This compares to a negative cash flow from
operations of $(1,312,053) for 1996.
The Company's continuing operating losses are a reflection of an inadequate
gross profit margin and low sales volume resulting from the suspension of
manufacturing operations at the beginning of the third quarter. Gross Margins
were ($401,013) for the year ended 1997 and ($577,691) 1996. There was a
minor amount of manufacturing activity during the year. However, the majority
of the manufacturing expenses incurred during the year were fixed costs
relating to plant overhead expenses and some wages for essential personnel.
These costs have been identified as "Excess plant capacity" on the Statement
of Operations. Administrative overhead costs have been reduced to minimum
requirements.
Management has emphasized the following areas to improve the operations of the
Company:
? Relocate manufacturing operations to the Yucatan Peninsula area of
Mexico which will result in a projected 80% reduction in labor costs.
? Relocate administrative offices to southern Florida.
? Increase basic pricing on each yacht to improve gross margins and
reflect the improved product being manufactured.
? Redefine manufacturing processes to produce yachts more efficiently
and with greater profit margins.
? Select new materials to continue upgrading the quality of each yacht
while emphasizing production efficiency.
? Implement a labor tracking information system to monitor and reduce
direct labor costs.
? Design a new line of yachts to augment the current models offered.
The new yachts will utilize updated manufacturing techniques and have
greater profit margins.
? Develop relationships with dealers that are able to provide their own
inventory financing.
? Increase the dealer network to increase sales volume and reach
economies of scale.
? Purchase CNC equipment to lower costs and expedite manufacturing of
molds and tooling and production of finished yachts.
? Implement new SCRIMP laminating process to reduce labor and material
production costs.
Financial Condition:
The Company's internally generated cash flow has not been sufficient to
finance its operations. The cumulative losses of the Company continue to be
financed through current liabilities. Current liabilities of $12,821,893
exceed current assets of $407,281. Current liabilities include a revolving
line-of-credit from a marine engine supplier. The loan is now unsecured as
work-in-process inventories were liquidated in partial payment of the
outstanding balance. Other current liabilities include working capital loans
from finance companies, trade payables, advance deposits from customers,
accrued payroll and related expenses, and undeposited payroll taxes and
penalties.
During the year ended December 31, 1997 the Company issued convertible
promissory notes that totaled $654,976. The notes are convertible at the
option of the Company into Units. Each Unit is priced at $5.00 with selling
agent/finders fees of $.50 deducted therefrom. Each Unit consists of one
common share, one "C" warrant exercisable until March 5, 1998 for one common
share at $6.00 and one "D" warrant exercisable until March 5, 1999 for one
common share at $8.00. The proceeds were used for general working capital.
As of December 31, 1997 the Company had not made a conversion election and
continues to carry the debt on its books.
The Company has not made timely payments to its creditors. Deferred payment
terms were negotiated with most creditors however the suspension of production
activities has caused all payment agreements to be suspended. During the
short periods of production trade vendors and material suppliers have provided
the Company with its raw material needs on a COD basis. The Company does not
expect any difficulties in obtaining raw materials once financing is obtained
and production returns to a regular level.
Long-term debt of $1,606,436 (including current maturities) are mainly
obligations assumed in exchange for plant machinery and equipment as well as
molds and tooling necessary to manufacture the current line of yachts. As
explained more fully in the Company's audited financial statements, the value
of these assets have been impaired by the activities of the Company's
landlord.
There were no significant capital expenditures during the year ended December
31, 1997. In the prior year approximately $310,000 was invested in the
construction of molds and tooling for a new 48' pilothouse motor yacht. This
new yacht design is planned to improve manufacturing processes and contribute
a larger gross margin to the product mix.
Funds for the capital expenditures and financing of the operating losses were
provided by a corresponding increase in current liabilities. In order to
establish the Company as a viable competitor in the industry, management has
established an aggressive time schedule to upgrade existing molds and tooling
and manufacture additional molds and tooling for the newly designed line of
yachts. Total capital expenditures necessary for completion of the product
line upgrade and expansion is approximately $2,650,000. The Company is
dependent on external sources of funding to complete the plan.
In order to begin production at regular capacity the Company is in need of
additional capital to build production tooling, finance inventory and provide
working capital. The Company is dependent on external sources of liquidity
until projected levels of production and improvements in direct costs and
production efficiencies are achieved which will return the Company to
profitability and a positive cash flow. A material commitment for capital
expenditures and working capital is necessary to meet the projected sales and
production goals. The expected source for a majority of the funds is from
financing provided by joint venture production partners for Mexico
manufacturing activities, private placement investment offerings and a future
public stock offering. There can be no assurance that the anticipated
aforementioned improvements in operations can be achieved or additional
financing or equity capital may be obtained by the Company on acceptable
terms.
Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations as well as
stringent cleanup requirements. The Company does not anticipate any adverse
environmental responsibility for closing manufacturing operations in
Washington.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Company does not anticipate that year 2000 compliance will be a
significant operational issue. Existing computer software will most likely be
replaced in the transfer of the corporate office and manufacturing facilities
to Florida and Mexico, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
To the Stockholders
Tollycraft Yacht Corporation
I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Tollycraft Yacht Corporation
as of December 31, 1997, and the related statements of operations, changes in
net capital deficiency, and cash flows, for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
my audit. The financial statements of Tollycraft Yacht Corporation as of
December 31, 1996, were audited by other auditors whose report, dated October
2, 1997, included an explanatory paragraph on the methodology of the valuation
of the Company's work-in-process inventory; an explanatory paragraph that
described the change in the Company's method of accounting for revenue
recognition; and an emphasis paragraph on the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis
for my opinion.
In my opinion, the 1997 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Tollycraft Yacht
Corporation as of December 31, 1997 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
As more fully described in Note 12, certain work-in-process inventories, raw
material inventories, and equipment have been seized by the Company's
landlord. No adjustments have been made in the accompanying financial
statements for this event as the outcome of this matter is uncertain.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit, a net capital
deficiency, and a net loss for the year that raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in
regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The accompanying
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

TOLLYCRAFT YACHT CORPORATION
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1997
1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies
Nature of business: Tollycraft Yacht Corporation, "the Company", is
engaged in the manufacture and distribution of luxury motor yachts. The
Company grants credit to its customers. The ability to collect its
accounts receivable is affected by economic fluctuations in the
geographic areas served by the Company.
Cash flows: For statement of cash flow purposes, cash paid for interest
during 1997 was approximately $1,000 ($343,000 during 1996).
Supplemental disclosure of noncash investing and financing activities
are as follows:
Issuance of $360,000 of common stock for prepaid professional services
in 1997.
Issuance of $146,136 of common stock for equipment in 1997.
Conversion of $228,000 of notes payable into common stock in 1997.
Exchange of $1,394,829 of work-in-process inventories in lieu of
payment for notes payable in 1997.
Issuance of $29,958 of long-term debt for equipment acquired in 1997.
Issuance of $228,000 of notes payable for professional services
received in 1996.
Issuance of $2,194,593 of common stock for acquisition of Tollycraft
Acquisition Corporation in 1996.
Inventories: Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost of
market.
Equipment: Equipment is carried at cost. Additions and improvements to
jigs, patterns and molds are capitalized. Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets, which range from three to ten years.
Revenue recognition: Revenue is recognized upon completion, shipment and
title transfer of each yacht. Accordingly, revenue and costs of
individual yachts are included in operations in the year during which
they are completed.
Estimated warranties: The Company records a warranty accrual at the time
of sale for estimated claims, based on actual claims experience. There
is a general one-year parts and labor warranty to the original owner for
defects in all Tollycraft built hulls, desk bridges, stringers and
bulkheads.
Advertising: The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred.
Advertising expenses for 1997 was approximately $3,000 ($103,000 for
1996).
Pension and profit sharing plans: Union employees of the Company
participate in a pension plan, which qualifies under Section 401 (k) of
the Internal Revenue Code. The Company is required by the union
contract to make annual contributions of $.05 per labor hour. There
were no contributions made to the plan for 1997 or 1996.
Collective bargaining arrangements: Substantially all of the Company's
non-management employees are covered by collective bargaining
agreements. If the Company and the production workers are unable to
agree on a new contract prior to expiration of the current contract, a
work stoppage may occur that could adversely affect results of
operations.
Income taxes: Income taxes are accounted for and reported using an asset
and liability approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
computed annually for differences between the financial statement and
tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or
deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates
applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to
effect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred
tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is
the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change
during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets result principally form the Company's differences
for recording warranty reserves for financial statement purposes.
Deferred tax assets also result from net operating losses not yet
utilized for tax purposes. Valuation allowances have been provided for
those deferred tax assets as their utilization are uncertain. Deferred
tax liabilities result principally from the use of accelerated
depreciation for tax purposes.
Net loss per share: Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. The weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding
for 1997 was 3,074,699 (2,828,219 in 1996). Convertible notes,
debentures, options and warrants are not considered common stock
equivalents, as the affect would be anti-dilutive.
Significant risks and uncertainties: The process of preparing financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management of the Company
has made certain estimates and assumptions regarding the reserve for
warranty expenses, costs of work-in-process inventory, contingent
liabilities regarding their inventories and equipment, and federal
penalties on unpaid payroll taxes. Such estimates and assumptions
primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of
the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results
may differ from estimated amounts.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in 1996 have been reclassified in the
accompanying financial statements to conform to the 1997 presentation.
2. Continued operations
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has
incurred recurring net losses from operations, is past due on several
liabilities, and, as of December 31, 1997, the Company's current
liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately $12,400,000 and
its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by approximately
$10,900,000. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may
be unable to continue in existence without obtaining additional
financing and ultimately achieving profitability.
The Company is currently in the process of raising additional equity
capital and management is actively negotiating for new office and
manufacturing facilities. The Company is seeking to relocate their
manufacturing operations to Eastern Mexico, which is closer to the
geographic area most served by the Company. Management believes that
the efficiencies expected to be achieved by relocating to Mexico through
lower operating overhead, together with the equity capital will enable
the Company to achieve profitability.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis of
going concern, which basis contemplates the realization of assets and
the satisfaction of liabilities as they become due through continuing
operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in
existence as the outcome of management's plans are uncertain.

10. Stock options
In 1996 the Board of Directors approved an employee stock option plan,
known as the 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan, and reserved 600,000
shares of common stock for issuance to key employees under the plan. In
1997 the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 360,000
shares of common stock under the 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan. The
options exercise price is $6.00 per share and 45,000 shares were

five years and expire in February 2002. As of December 31, 1997, there
were 240,000 shares available for grant; there were 315,000 shares
exercisable at $6.00 per share, which aggregates $1,890,000, if fully

10,000 shares at $9.25 per share by December 31, 1996; any unexercised

over two years from the date of grant. As of December 31, 1997, 3,800
shares of the Company's common stock were exercisable.
11. Common stock
In a private placement, the Company offered up to $3,000,000 of
convertible promissory notes payable. The notes are convertible, at the
option of the Company into "units". A unit entitles the holder to
purchase one restricted share of common stock of the Company, one "A"
warrant to purchase one share of common stock of the Company exercisable
until January 15, 1997 at $4.00 per share, and one "B" warrant to
purchase one share of common stock of the Company exercisable until
January 15, 1998 at $6.00 per share. The rate of conversion equals 50%
of the average public bid price of the Company's common stock for the 10
days preceding the call provision. As of December 31, 1997, the Company
had issued $550,350 of notes payable net of $104,626 of deferred
financing cost. In February 1997, the Company announced its intention
to exercise their call provision and extended the exercise date of the
"A" warrants to January 15, 1998 and of the "B" warrants to January
15, 1999.
In February 1997, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of
600,000 units at $5.00 per unit, aggregating $3,000,000. Each unit
consists of one share of common stock, one "C" warrant to purchase one
share of common stock at $6.00 per share of the Company exercisable
until March 5, 1998, and one "D" warrant to purchase one share of
common stock at $8.00 per share of the Company exercisable until March
5, 1999. There were no shares exercisable at December 31, 1997.
In 1997, management of the Company entered into agreements with Lloyd
Wade Securities, Inc. to provide investment banking and advisory
services and to assist with the offering of up to $3,000,000 of its
common stock.
In December 1996, the Board of Directors authorized a 1-for-25 reverse
stock split of the Company's common stock. All share amounts in the
accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to reflect this
stock split.
12. Commitments and contingencies
In October 1997, the landlord of the building in which the Company
leased its office and manufacturing facilities seized substantially all
of the Company's personal property consisting of all work-in-process
inventories, raw material inventories and all manufacturing equipment,
office furniture and fixtures, and molds and patterns for failure to pay
rent under their lease agreement. The landlord also filed a claim
against the Company for approximately $291,000. In December 1997, the
landlord held a lien foreclosure sale and sold all personal property it
had seized.
The company believes it has a substantial claim against the landlord for
unlawfully conducting a landlord's lien foreclosure sale at a time after
the landlord's lien had expired. The Company also believes that certain
equipment; molds and patterns sold had preferential liens against them.
Based on a third party appraisal, the value of just the molds and
patterns sold was approximately $5,900,000. The Company intends to
vigorously defend the matter and believes it has a reasonable
possibility of a favorable outcome. No adjustments have been made in
the accompanying financial statements for any gain or loss contingency,
as the outcome of the matter is uncertain.
In February 1997, the Company entered into a retainer agreement relating
to legal services for securities matters with compensation at a rate of
$6,000 per month payable either in common stock of the Company
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under regulation
S-8, if available, and valued at the lowest bid price during the month
payable, or in restricted common stock valued at 50% of the lowest bid
price during the month payable.
13. Subsequent events
In February 1998, the Company reserved 2,000,000 shares of its common
stock for sale in connection with a proposed agreement for the
relocation of its manufacturing facility to Yucatan, Mexico.
Item 8. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure.
The partner in charge of the Company's account at Isler & Company, the
Company's former accountant, formed his own auditing firm. The Company has
elected to continue its relationship with the partner in charge of its
account. Accordingly, effective June 29, 1998 the Company's accountant was
changed from Isler & Company, CPA's to Timothy L. Steers, CPA, LLC.
The principal accountant's report on the financial statements for 1997 and
1996 contain a paragraph on the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern
The decision to change accountants was approved by the board of directors.
There are no disagreements with either accounting firm.
