Overview

     Lockhart Caribbean  Corporation ("the Company") owns,  acquires,  operates,
develops,  and manages shopping centers,  commercial parks, and other commercial
real estate,  primarily on the islands of St. Thomas and St. Croix,  U.S. Virgin
Islands.  In 1997 and 1996, building space rental generated 89% of total revenue
and ground  lease  payments  accounted  for 11%,  and for the three months ended
March 31, 1998,  building space rental generated 88% of total revenue and ground
lease payments accounted for 12%.

     The Company's two wholly-owned subsidiaries, H.E. Lockhart Management, Inc.
("HELM")  and  Lockhart  Realty,  Inc.  ("LRI")  account for 100% of the revenue
generation.  HELM owns and manages  seven  shopping  centers,  serving  both the
tourist and local  sectors,  with a mix of office and retail  space.  Two of the
seven shopping centers (Drake's Passage Mall and the Grand Hotel) are located in
historic   downtown   Charlotte  Amalie,   St.  Thomas,   and  are  tenanted  by
tourist-oriented entities serving the cruise ship and hotel guest traffic in St.
Thomas.  HELM also owns two parcels which it leases to tenants  under  long-term
ground leases. LRI retains ownership of undeveloped real estate and operates the
commercial  parks.  In 1997 and for the three months ended March 31, 1998,  HELM
accounted for 90% of the Company's total revenue, and LRI accounted for 10%.

     LRI is expected to account  for a greater  portion of total  revenue in the
future as it develops the real property acreage  currently zoned for residential
use. HELM is expected to generate increased revenues commencing in 1998 from new
lease  agreements  negotiated  with tenants at Drake's  Passage Mall, one of the
Company's  tourist-oriented  shopping centers, and its successful retenanting of
the southern section of Lockhart Garden's Shopping Center with a Kmart store and
introduction  of a mini-mall.  In addition,  HELMS's  planned  renovation of the
northern  section  of  Lockhart  Garden's  Shopping  Center  and two of the four
buildings of the Grand Hotel Court, each scheduled to start in 1999, will add an
aggregate of approximately 30,000 square feet of retail space.

     The Company is pursuing a strategy to enhance revenue  growth,  and achieve
geographic and line-of-business diversification.  The strategy involves an entry
into the consumer financial services industry and expanding into other Caribbean
markets.  The Company has acquired  Premium  Finance  Company of the V.I.,  Inc.
("PFC"), an insurance premium financing company that has an established business
in the U.S.  Virgin  Islands and the British Virgin  Islands.  PFC has also made
inroads  into  certain  other  Caribbean  markets,  such as  Anguilla,  Antigua,
Grenada, St. Vincent and St. Maarten. See "Recent Developments."

Results of Operations

     Three  Months Ended March 31, 1998  Compared  With Three Months Ended March
31, 1997

     Total revenue (rental income,  tenant  reimbursements,  and other operating
income) was $1,207,323 for the three months ended March 31, 1998  representing a
3% increase over total revenue for the same period in 1997. Increases in revenue
from new leases  negotiated  with tenants at Drake's Passage Mall were partially
offset by vacancies at other properties.  The Company has already negotiated new
leases for approximately two-thirds of these vacant spaces.

                                        1

     For the three  months  ended  March  31,  1998 and  1997,  total  operating
expenses were $1,023,040 and $1,054,551, respectively.

     Exclusive of depreciation and amortization,  other operating  expenses were
$716,116 for the three months ended March 31, 1998  compared to $692,901 or a 3%
increase  over the same period in the prior  year.  The  increase  is  primarily
attributed  to increases  in utility  expenses  and  employee  compensation  and
benefits.

     Depreciation  and  amortization  decreased  by $54,726 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998  primarily  as a result of no further  amortization  of the
capital lease  associated with the acquisition of Drake's Passage that was fully
amortized by November 1997.

     Interest  expense  increased  by $24,506 to  $546,592  for the  three-month
period  in 1998 due to  additional  amounts  drawn on two lines of credit at two
separate financial institutions.

     On March 31, 1998,  LRI sold 3.64 acres of land in Sugar Estate  Commercial
Park to the land lessee for $2.8 million. With a net book value of approximately
$300,000, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $2.5 million.
The Company used a portion of the  proceeds to retire the $720,000  bank debt on
Sugar Estate Commercial Park.

     As a result of the foregoing, the Company showed a net income of $1,291,571
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to a net loss of $272,103 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997.


     Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared With Year Ended December 31, 1996

     Total revenue  (rental  income,  tenant expense  reimbursements,  and other
operating  income) for 1997  increased  by  $890,047  or 21% over 1996.  Of this
increase,  $757,550  was due to a full  year of  revenue  from  the  Acquisition
Properties.

     For the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,  total  operating  expenses
were $4,680,172 and $3,884,743, respectively.

     Exclusive of depreciation  and  amortization,  other operating  expenses of
$3,232,688  accounted for 63% of total  revenue for the year ended  December 31,
1997.  The $792,719  increase in such  expenses  from 1996 was due to (i) a full
year of  operating  expenses in 1997  compared  to only six months of  operating
expenses  in 1996 at the  Acquisition  Properties,  and  (ii)  increases  in the
reserve  for  doubtful  accounts,  contracted  security  guard  services  at the
properties, and pension and retirement benefits.

     Depreciation  and  amortization  increased  by $202,710 or 16% for the year
ended  December 31, 1997.  The  increase  was due  primarily to the  Acquisition
Properties  and the $6.0 million  investment in the  reconstruction  of Lockhart
Gardens  Shopping Center as a consequence of damage caused by Hurricane  Marilyn
in September, 1995.

     Interest  expense  increased  by $573,013 or 34% for the year due to (i) an
$11.0 million  increase in bank debt to purchase the Acquisition  Properties and
pay for additional  costs  incurred in the  reconstruction  of Lockhart  Gardens
Shopping Center,  (ii) increased  borrowings under the Company's line of credit,
and (iii) a 50 basis  point  increase  in the prime rate in April,  1997,  which
resulted in a  corresponding  increase in the interest  rate  payable  under the
Company's bank debt and line of credit.

     For the year ended December 31, 1997,  the Company made a one-time  payment
to  Woolworth  Corp.  of $200,000 to terminate  their lease at Lockhart  Gardens
Shopping Center.  The Company collected  $200,000 from Kmart as reimbursement of
the lease  termination  payment to  Woolworth  Corp.,  and such  amount  will be
amortized over the initial term of Kmart's lease in accordance with FASB 13.

     As a result of the  foregoing,  the  Company  showed a net loss  (including
depreciation and  amortization) of $1,369,465 for 1997 compared to a net loss of
$832,710 for 1996.

     Year Ended December 31, 1996 Compared With Year Ended December 31, 1995

     Total revenue for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $4,216,733
and $3,971,800, respectively. The $244,933, or 6%, increase resulted principally
from six months of revenue from the Acquisition  Properties.  Gross revenue from
the  Acquisition  Properties of $721,902 was  partially  offset by a decrease of
$476,969  in  revenue  generation  from other  properties  as a result of damage
caused  by  Hurricane  Marilyn.  With  the  receipt  of  $453,355  in  insurance
reimbursements for business  interruption  losses,  revenue loss at the affected
properties  was  principally  due to vacancies  resulting  from tenants who were
unable to  resume  business  even  after  reconstruction  was  completed  at the
affected  properties,  as well as the continued  vacancy at the damaged northern
end of  Lockhart  Gardens  Shopping  Center.  The  Company  expects to  commence
reconstruction  at the northern end of Lockhart  Gardens  Shopping Center once a
dispute with the ground lessee over reconstruction of their supermarket facility
is resolved.

     For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,  total  operating  expenses
were $3,884,743 and $3,663,547 respectively.

     Exclusive  of  depreciation  and  amortization,  other  operating  expenses
decreased  by  $117,315  or  4.3%  despite  the  addition  of  the   Acquisition
Properties.  Lower expenses  resulted from a reduction in overhead costs and the
elimination  of  certain  professional  fees  incurred  in  1995  to  facilitate
settlement of insurance claims resulting from Hurricane  Marilyn.  Adjusting for
expenses  of  the  Acquisition  Properties,   operating  expenses  exclusive  of
depreciation and amortization, decreased by $342,411 or 12% in 1996.

     Depreciation  and  amortization  increased  by $338,511 or 37% for the year
ended  December  31, 1996  compared to the year ended  December  31,  1995.  The
increase  was  due  primarily  to  the  Acquisition   Properties  and  the  full
amortization of certain  capitalized loan costs related to banks notes that were
liquidated in October, 1996.

     Interest  expense  increased by $591,726 or 55% for the year ended December
31, 1996 compared to the year ended  December 31, 1995. The increase in interest
expense  was due to an $11.0  million  increase  in bank  debt to  purchase  the
Acquisition   Properties   and  pay  for   additional   costs  incurred  in  the
reconstruction of the southern section of Lockhart Gardens Shopping Center.

     Insurance  proceeds of $75,670 and  $5,916,981 for the years ended December
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  represent amounts collected or receivable from
insurance companies for repairs to properties damaged by Hurricane Marilyn.

     For the year  ended  December  31,  1996,  there  was a gain on the sale of
residentially   zoned  real  property  as  a  result  of  the   disposition   of
approximately  1.7 acres. For the year ended December 31, 1995, there was a loss
of  $850,972  due to a  write-off  of the net book value of  certain  properties
damaged by Hurricane Marilyn.

     As a result of the  foregoing,  the Company had a net loss of $832,710  for
the year ended  December 31, 1996 compared to net income of  $2,503,875  for the
year ended December 31, 1995.

Cash Flow

     Net cash flow from operating activities decreased by $812,100 for the three
month period  ended March 31, 1998  primarily as a result of the payment of real
estate taxes. Net cash flow provided by investing  activities  increased by $2.2
million for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 due to the $2.8 million land
sale.  Net cash flow used by financing  activities  for the three months  ending
March 31,  1998 did not change  when  compared  to the same  period of the prior
year.  However,  financing  activities  for  1998  show  principal  payments  of
$816,145,  including  the  retirement  of the Sugar  Estate  Park  debt,  and an
offsetting amount of $776,500 in bank demand notes for financing construction at
Market Square East and Lockhart Gardens Shopping Center.

                                        3
<PAGE>

     Net cash flow from  operating  activities  declined by $4.9  million in the
year ended  December  31, 1997  compared to the year ended  December 31, 1996 as
insurance  proceeds of $5.3 million were  collected and spent in 1996.  Net cash
flow used in investing  activities was $14.8 million more in 1996 as a result of
the Acquisition  Properties and the  reconstruction  of the southern  section of
Lockhart  Gardens  Shopping  Center  through  a  combination  of bank  debt  and
insurance  proceeds.  Net cash flow provided by financing  activities  was $10.8
million  more in the year ended  December  31,  1996  compared to the year ended
December  31,  1997 as a result of the  additional  bank  financing  obtained to
purchase the  Acquisition  Properties  and to fund the  additional  costs in the
reconstruction of the southern section of Lockhart Gardens Shopping Center.

     Net cash flow from operating  activities  increased by $3.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 1996 compared to 1995 as a result of insurance  proceeds
collected  in 1996 for the  reconstruction  of operating  properties  damaged by
Hurricane Marilyn.  Net cash flow used in investing activities increased by $8.2
million for the year ended December 31, 1996 compared to 1995 due principally to
the purchase of the Acquisition  Properties  compared to the acquisition of only
one  operating  property,  Red Hook Plaza,  in 1995.  Net cash flow  provided by
financing  activities  increased by $5.9  million as a result of increased  bank
debt to fund the purchase of the Acquisition  Properties in 1996 compared to the
financing of only one operating property acquisition in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The principal sources of funding for development,  acquisitions, expansion,
and renovations of the properties have historically been construction loans, and
intermediate  and permanent debt  financing.  Proceeds from insurance  companies
have been  utilized in the past two years to  reconstruct  operating  properties
impacted by Hurricane  Marilyn.  The majority of the  borrowings are executed at
the subsidiary level (HELM and LRI) with a parent company guarantee.

     On October 21, 1996,  HELM entered into a loan agreement (the  "Development
Loan") with Banco  Popular de Puerto Rico ("BPPR") to: (i)  consolidate  certain
pre-existing development loans; (ii) refinance certain acquisition indebtedness;
(iii) reduce the Company's  interest costs;  and (iv) achieve level debt service
payments. The parent company, Lockhart Caribbean Corporation,  and HELM's wholly
owned  subsidiaries  (Fort Mylner  Properties,  Inc., Red Hook Plaza,  Inc., and
Golden Orange Centers, Inc.) have each fully and unconditionally  guaranteed the
Development Loan.  Approximately  $19.1 million of proceeds from the Development
Loan was allotted to retire the mortgages on certain operating  properties,  and
such amount is secured by  first-priority  mortgages on Drake's Passage Shopping
Mall,  the Fort Mylner  properties,  the Grand  Hotel  Court,  Lockhart  Gardens
Shopping  Center,  and  Orange  Grove  Shopping  Center,  and a  second-priority
mortgage on Red Hook Plaza.  HELM is  obligated to make  monthly  principal  and
interest  payments of  approximately  $163,500 with respect to the $19.1 million
and  expects  to fund such  payments  with the cash flow  from  operations.  The
interest on the Development Loan is at 0.5% above the prime lending rate of 9.0%
as of March 31, 1998.

     The  Development  Loan  provides  for a $1.0 million line of credit with an
interest  rate of 0.5% above the prime rate.  As of March 31, 1998,  the Company
had $254,000 available under the line of credit, and the interest rate was 9.0%.
In addition,  the Development Loan will provide  approximately  $580,000 to fund
the build-out of Lockhart Mall at Lockhart Gardens  Shopping Center.  The entire
outstanding  balance under the  Development  Loan is due and payable on April 1,
2000. BPPR has agreed,  subject to certain  conditions  including the absence of
any material  default by HELM and the Company  under the  Development  Loan,  to
convert the balance into a fifteen year loan with covenants  similar to those of
the Development Loan.

     In 1991,  BPPR loaned LRI  $1,135,000  to finance  site and  infrastructure
development of a commercial park at Sugar Estate ("Sugar Estate Park"). The loan
was secured by seven of the eleven acres of land comprising the commercial park.
The loan was fully  repaid on March 31,  1998.  In 1997,  BPPR  approved  a loan
package to  refinance  the 1991 LRI loan and  provide  additional  funds for two
development  projects for an aggregate borrowing of $3.8 million.  Subsequently,
LRI  modified  the  request  to $1.8  million,  which  BPPR  will  fund  for the
construction  of roads,  parking lot and other  infrastructure  at Market Square
East. The loan will be secured by a first-priority mortgage on land.

     In February 1995, HELM, through its wholly owned subsidiary Red Hook Plaza,
Inc.,  ("RHP")  acquired Red Hook Plaza for an aggregate  purchase price of $5.8
million from an  unaffiliated  party.  RHP financed  this  purchase  with a $4.7
million first priority  mortgage payable to the seller (the "Red Hook Loan") and
$1.1 million of bank  financing.  The Red Hook Loan bears interest at 8.75 % per
annum and matures in January  2004.  The $1.1 million was  refinanced in October
1996 with proceeds from the Development Loan.

                                        4

     In June 1996,  HELM,  through two  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  Fort Mylner
Properties,   Inc.  and  Golden  Orange  Centers,  Inc.,  acquired  Fort  Mylner
Commercial Center, Fort Mylner Shopping Center, and Orange Grove Shopping Center
for an aggregate  purchase  price of $10.1 million from an  unaffiliated  party.
HELM financed the acquisition with a short-term demand note which was refinanced
in October 1996 with proceeds from the Development Loan.

     In August  1997,  The  National  Capital  Bank of  Washington  has extended
directly  to the  Company a line of credit for up to $400,000 to be used to fund
expenses associated with the Company's Initial Public Offering ("IPO"). On March
31, 1998, the National  Capital Bank of Washington  increased the credit line to
the  Company  for the  funding  of  additional  expenses  related  to the IPO by
$150,000 to  $550,000.  The line of credit  matures in September  1998.  Amounts
outstanding  under  the line of  credit  will be  repaid  from  proceeds  of the
offering.  The line of credit is  personally  guaranteed by two of the Company's
major shareholders.

     In August 1997, the Company loaned $75,000 to PFC and guaranteed a $200,000
bank line of credit  extended to PFC for expansion of its  operations in certain
Eastern Caribbean islands.

     With the  completion  of the IPO and the  application  of the net  proceeds
therefrom, the Company expects improvements in its financial performance through
changes to its capital structure,  principally a significant  reduction in total
debt.  The  Company's  total debt is expected to be reduced by $4.5  million and
$5.0  million  assuming  the  minimum  offering  of $7.5  million or the maximum
offering of $13.0 million is sold, respectively.  Total debt, excluding payables
and deferred expenses, is expected to be $21.4 million or $20.9 million assuming
the Minimum offering or the Maximum offering is sold,  respectively  compared to
$25.9 million as of March 31, 1998. The Company expects this change to result in
a reduction  in mortgage  interest  expense and,  therefore,  the cash flow from
operations should increase by a corresponding amount.

     The Company  expects to meet its  short-term  liquidity  requirements  from
funds from operations.  The Company expects funds from operations to increase as
a result of: (i) a reduction of net  operating  funds  needed to service  annual
debt (ii) the acquisition of PFC and (iii) increased net rentable space from the
reconstruction  and  renovation  of two operating  properties.  The Company also
believes that the foregoing  sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund its
short-term  liquidity  needs  for  the  foreseeable  future,  including  capital
maintenance expenditures.

     The Company expects to meet certain long-term  liquidity  requirements such
as acquisitions,  scheduled debt maturities, renovations, expansions, commercial
and residential  development  ventures,  and other  non-recurring  major capital
improvements  through  long-term  secured or unsecured  debt and the issuance of
additional equity securities.

     The Company is currently conducting an offering of Units, consisting of one
share of Class A Common  Stock and one warrant to purchase  one-tenth of a share
of Class A Common Stock, on a "best efforts"  basis.  The offering is being made
pursuant to a registration  statement  declared  effective by the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  on  February 4, 1998.  The  Company  has not yet  received
subscriptions  for the minimum number of Units offered and,  therefore,  has not
sold any Units.  This is not an offer to sell nor a  solicitation  to buy;  such
offers and  solicitations  can only be made by means of a prospectus.  Copies of
the   Company's   prospectus   can  be   obtained  on  the  World  Wide  Web  at
http://www.lockhart.com.

     In August 1997, The National Capital Bank of Washington  extended a line of
credit to the Company for up to $400,000 to be used to fund expenses  associated
with the Company's initial public offering.  Amounts  outstanding under the line
of credit will be repaid from  proceeds of the  offering.  The line of credit is
personally  guaranteed by two of the Company's major  shareholders.  On March 1,
1998 the  National  Capital  Bank of  Washington  increased  the credit  line by
$150,000  to  $550,000  in  order to fund  additional  expenses  related  to the
offering. The line of credit matures in September 1998.

     On March 31, 1998, LRI sold approximately 3.6 acres of land at Sugar Estate
Park (the "Sugar Estate Sale") to the ground lessee for $2.8 million,  an amount
that is 20% over the last  certified  appraisal  and 500%  above book  value.  A
portion of the  proceeds  from the Sugar Estate Sale were used to repay the 1991
LRI loan, which had a balance of $737,723 on December 31, 1997.

     The Company has withdrawn its offer to purchase a shopping  center  located
on Raphune Hill on St.  Thomas,  as the seller was unable to present clear title
to the property by the agreed upon closing date.

                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     In October  1997,  the Company  agreed to purchase  all of the  outstanding
shares  of  stock  from  all  of  the  shareholders  of  PFC  for  an  aggregate
renegotiated  purchase  price of  $550,000.  The  Company  completed  the  stock
acquisition on June 22, 1998,  obtaining ownership and management control of PFC
and  its  wholly-owned   subsidiary   Premium  Finance  Company  (E.C.)  Limited
("PFC-EC").  The Company financed the acquisition with a portion of the proceeds
from the Sugar Estate Sale, and the Company intends to use the proceeds from the
IPO  originally  earmarked to be used for the  acquisition  of PFC to fund PFC's
expansion  into other  Caribbean  markets.  In this regard,  PFC-EC was recently
approved to do business in St. Lucia and Dominica.

     The  Company  is  currently  seeking  approval  to  rezone  certain  of its
residential  acreage to  commercial  use.  The acreage  subject to the  rezoning
application is located  adjacent to Market Square East and will be a later phase
of the overall Market Square East development. If the Company's rezoning request
is approved  (which  approval is not assured),  the Company's  residential  real
property  holdings  will consist of 392 acres located near and  overlooking  the
town and harbor of Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas.

     The Board of Directors has recommended  that Price Waterhouse be engaged as
the Company's independent auditors.  During the Company's two most recent fiscal
years and the  interim  period  preceding  this  Supplement,  there have been no
disagreements with the Company's prior auditors,  Ernst & Young ("E&Y"),  on any

                 Lockhart Caribbean Corporation and Subsidiaries
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                 March 31, 1998


1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

     Lockhart  Caribbean  Corporation  ("LCC") is organized  as a United  States
Virgin Islands corporation engaged in owning,  managing,  developing and leasing
commercial  real  estate.  LCC  leases  developed  land,  and  retail and office
building space to tenants primarily under long-term agreements. The accompanying
consolidated   financial   statements  include  the  accounts  of  LCC  and  its
wholly-owned  subsidiaries H.E. Lockhart Management,  Inc. ("HELM") and Lockhart
Realty, Inc. ("LRI").  Significant  intercompany  balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

     On July 5, 1997, the  shareholders of The Lockhart  Companies  Incorporated
("LCI") voted to restructure  and  recapitalize  the company and to offer common
stock to the public in an initial  public  offering  to be  registered  with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission.  In connection with the  restructuring  and
recapitalization,  LCI  changed its name to Lockhart  Caribbean  Corporation  on
August 22, 1997. On the same date,  the  shareholders  of LCI exchanged  each of
their shares for 9.7 shares of Class B common stock of LCC. The  transaction has
been  accounted  for  in  a  manner  similar  to  a  pooling-of-interests   and,
accordingly, the financial statements as of and for the three months ended March
31, 1997 were  restated to give  retroactive  recognition  to this  transaction.
Initial public offering expenses,  consisting primarily of legal fees, amounting
to $775,162 were capitalized as of March 31, 1998.

     On October 3, 1997,  the Company  executed a Stock  Purchase  Agreement  to
purchase  all the  outstanding  common stock of Premium  Finance  Company of the
V.I.,  Inc.  ("PFC") and its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Premium Finance Company
(E.C.),  Ltd.  ("PFC-EC").   PFC  and  PFC-EC  finance  insurance  premiums  for
individuals and businesses in the U.S.  Virgin Islands,  British Virgin Islands,
Anguilla, St.Martin/St.Maarten, Antigua, St.Vincent, and Grenada.

     On February 4, 1998, LCC's registration statement was declared effective by
the U.S.  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  and  certain  state  regulatory
authorities.  The Company started  conducting its public offering primarily over
the World Wide Web.

Basis of Presentation

     The consolidated  financial statements of LCC as of March 31, 1998 and 1997
and for the three  months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are  unaudited  but have
been prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles for
interim  financial  statements.  In the opinion of management,  all  adjustments
(consisting of normal  recurring  adjustments)  considered  necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. The results of operations of any interim period
are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.

Use of Estimates

     The consolidated  financial  statements have been prepared by management in
conformity  with  generally  accepted   accounting   principles  which  requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and  liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial  statements  and the reported  amounts of revenues and
expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ from those
estimates.

                           March 31, 1998 (continued)

Cash Equivalents

     Cash equivalents  consist of short-term,  highly liquid  investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased.

Construction in Progress

     Construction-in-progress  consists primarily of costs (including applicable
property  taxes and  interest)  incurred  relating  to  certain  renovation  and
rebuilding  projects.  These costs are included in operating  property  when the
projects are completed.

Operating Property

     Operating  property  is  stated  on the  basis of cost.  LCC  provides  for
depreciation using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and
the modified accelerated cost recovery system for income tax purposes over their
estimated  useful lives.  Expenditures  for  maintenance and general repairs are
charged to expense as incurred,  whereas major  improvements  are  classified as
additions to operating property.

Capitalized Interest

     Interest is  capitalized  as a component of the cost of operating  property
constructed.  For the three months ended March 31, 1998,  interest  amounting to
$16,710 was capitalized.  No interest was capitalized for the three months ended
March 31, 1997.

Deferred Revenue

     Amounts  received  from  lessees for lease  acquisitions  are  deferred and
amortized over the initial term of the lease on the straight-line method.

Deferred Financing Costs

     Deferred  financing costs represent costs incurred  related to the issuance
of debt and are amortized over the term of the related debt.  Deferred financing
costs at March 31, 1998 and 1997 are summarized as follows:

                                                           1998           1997
                                                         --------         ----
Deferred financing costs ...........................     $405,135       $575,344
Less accumulated amortization ......................       44,053         40,091
                                                         --------       --------
Deferred financing costs, net ......................     $361,082       $535,253

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

     The  following  methods  and  assumptions  were  used  by  the  Company  in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

     Cash and cash  equivalents:  The carrying  amounts  reported in the balance
sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets' fair values.

     Note  receivable:  The  carrying  amount  reported  in  the  balance  sheet
approximates fair value due to the underlying collateral on the note.

     Mortgage  and other notes  payable:  The  carrying  amounts of the mortgage
notes,  which bear  interest  based on the financial  institution's  prime rate,
approximate fair value due to the periodic  repricing of the interest rates. The
carrying  amounts of the fixed rate mortgage  note,  the  installment  note, and
other  notes  payable  approximate  fair  value  based on  discounted  cash flow
analyses.

2.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Comprehensive Income

     In June  1997,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No.  130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive
Income." SFAS No. 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized
under accounting  standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in
a  financial  statement  that is  displayed  with the same  prominence  as other
financial statements. SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December  15,  1997.  The  Company  will adopt SFAS No. 130 for the year  ending
December 31, 1998.

Segment Disclosures

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related  Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes  standards for
the way that the public business  enterprises report information about operating
segments in annual  financial  statements  and requires  that those  enterprises
report  selected  information  about  operating  segments  in interim  financial
reports  issued to  shareholders.  It also  establishes  standards  for  related
disclosures about products and services,  geographic areas, and major customers.
SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial  statements for periods  beginning after
December  15,  1997.  The  Company  will adopt SFAS No. 131 for the year  ending
December 31, 1998.

3.   Accounts and Notes Receivable

     The  Company  loaned  $75,000  to  Premium  Finance  Company  of the Virgin
Islands,  Inc. ("PFC") which will be converted into a capital  contribution upon
consummation of the acquisition of PFC. The outstanding  principal is payable on
demand and  interest  income is  accrued  based on prime rate (8.5% on March 31,
1998). The note is personally  secured and pledged by 50,000 shares in the stock
of PFC.

                 Lockhart Caribbean Corporation and Subsidiaries
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                           March 31, 1998 (continued)

     The $14.6 million mortgage note to HELM is payable in monthly  installments
of  $125,032  commencing  in May 1997 after a  six-month  interest-only  payment
period. A final balloon payment of $14.1 million is due when the note matures in
April  2000.  However,  if  there  are  no  events  of  default,  the  financial
institution has agreed to convert the balance  outstanding on April 1, 2000 to a
term loan payable in 15 years and bearing interest at prime plus 0.5%.  Proceeds
of the note were used to retire (i) a mortgage note issued for the renovation of
Grand Hotel,  (ii) a mortgage note secured by Drakes  Passage and issued for the
acquisition of Red Hook Plaza,  (iii) an interim loan issued for the acquisition
of Fort Mylner Shopping Center,  Fort Mylner Commercial Center, and Orange Grove
Shopping Center.

     The mortgage  note to HELM with an  outstanding  balance of $4.4 million on
March 31, 1998, is payable in monthly  installments of $38,537 commencing on May
1, 1997 after a six-month  interest-only period. A final balloon payment of $4.3
million is payable when the note matures in April 2000. However, if there are no
events of default,  the financial  institution has agreed to convert the balance
outstanding  on April 1, 2000 to a term  loan  payable  in 15 years and  bearing
interest at prime plus 0.5%. The proceeds of the note were used to liquidate the
mortgage note issued for the renovation of Lockhart Gardens Shopping Center.

     The mortgage note to LRI with an  outstanding  balance of $794,476 on March
31, 1997 was payable in monthly  installments  of $6,306 in  principal  payments
plus  interest.  The note was retired on March 31, 1998 from the proceeds of the
sale of 3.64 acres of land to a land lessee.

     Proceeds of the mortgage  note payable to a seller were used to finance the
acquisition  of Red Hook Plaza Shopping  Center.  The note is payable in monthly
installments of $36,975 commencing February 1996. A final installment  comprised
of the  principal  sum then  outstanding  together  with any unpaid  interest is
payable  when the  note  matures  in  January  2004.  Red Hook  Plaza,  Inc.,  a
wholly-owned subsidiary of HELM, is the borrower on this note.

     HELM  obtained a $1 million  non-revolving  line of credit from a financial
institution in October 1996.  Amounts of $746,000 and $300,000 were drawn on the
line as of March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The balance outstanding under
the line of credit is due and payable on April 1, 2000. However, if there are no
events of default,  the financial  institution has agreed to convert the balance
outstanding  on April 1, 2000 to a term  loan  payable  in 15 years and  bearing
interest at 0.5% above the prime rate. Interest is accrued on the unpaid balance
at 0.5% above the institution's prime rate and is payable monthly.

     The proceeds from  $1,093,000 in demand notes to LRI and HELM were used for
the  infrastructure  development of six acres of land at Market Square East, and
build-out of Lockhart Mall at Lockhart Gardens  Shopping  Center.  The notes are
payable on demand and represent advances to HELM and LRI until the final closing
of two construction  loans ($1.8 million for Market Square East and $577,000 for
Lockhart  Mall)  that  were  already  committed  by the  financial  institution.
Interest is payable  monthly on the demand notes and is calculated at 0.5% above
the institution's prime rate.

Installment Notes

     In  February  1997,  HELM  purchased  a  vehicle  for  $13,800  through  an
installment note payable.  The note matures on January 1, 2002 and is payable in
monthly  principal  installments  of $230 plus interest at 1.25% over prime rate
(9.75% and 9.50% at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively).

     In July 1996,  HELM purchased a vehicle for $59,000  through an installment
note  payable.  The note  matures  on June 1,  2001 and is  payable  in  monthly
principal installments of $983 plus interest at 1.25% over prime rate (9.75% and
9.50% at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively).

                           March 31, 1998 (continued)

Line of Credit

     On August 1, 1997,  LCC obtained an additional  line of credit for $400,000
from a  financial  institution.  On March 1, 1998,  LCC  increased  this line of
credit to  $550,000.  A total of $442,223 has been drawn on the line as of March
31, 1998.  Advances on the line will bear  interest at the  institution's  prime
rate and interest is payable  monthly.  The line of credit  expires on September
30, 1998.

5.   Income Taxes

     At December 31,  1997,  the Company had  operating  loss  carryforwards  of
approximately  $1,650,000  and  $1,792,000  available to offset  future  taxable
income through the years 2012 and 2011, respectively.

6.   Leases

     The Company,  through its wholly-owned  subsidiaries LRI and HELM,  receive
rental income from noncancellable  leases for ground space and retail and office
building  space.  Most are  long-term  leases  with  renewal  options of usually
five-year  terms.  The leases  provide for minimum  annual rental  payments plus
adjustments,  if applicable, for certain additional costs incurred by the lessor
for property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance.  Some leases provide
for a  percentage  of gross sales as payment in  addition to the minimum  annual
rental amount.

7.   Lease Termination and Deferred Revenue

     In July  1997,  Woolworth  Corporation  (Woolworth)  decided  to close  its
department  store  operations  throughout  the United States  including the U.S.
Virgin  Islands,  and as of October 31,  1997,  ceased  retail sales at Lockhart
Gardens Shopping Center. Woolworth's lease did not expire until 2001, and it was
obligated  to  make  rental  payments  and  tenant  reimbursements  until  lease
expiration.  The Company, through HELM, negotiated a lease termination agreement
with  Woolworth.  The new  tenant  that took  possession  of the space  formerly
occupied by Woolworth reimbursed the Company for the cost to terminate the lease
with Woolworth.

     The amount received from the new tenant was treated as deferred revenue and
is being  amortized  over the  initial  term of the  lease on the  straight-line
method.

8.   Transactions With Related Parties

     The amounts from  shareholders  are  interest  bearing and have no specific
repayment  terms.  However,  if the maximum offering of $13 million is sold, the
company  will use  approximately  $525,000  of the last one  million  raised  to
repurchase  approximately  80,769  shares of Class B Common  Stock from  certain
Class B shareholders including those holding notes payable to the Company. Those
shareholders  holding  notes payable to the company have agreed to use a portion
of the  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  shares  to the  Company  to  repay  their
indebtedness to the Company.

     A  shareholder  of LCC and a member  of the  Board of  Directors  is also a
partner of a law firm which  renders legal  services to LCC.  During the periods
ended  March  31,  1998  and  1997,  fees  paid  to the  law  firm  amounted  to
approximately $19,649 and $54,664 respectively.

     In  November  1997,  HELM  purchased  a  vehicle  for  $23,000  for a major
shareholder  who was also a long-time  employee of the Company and a past member
of the Board of Directors.

9.   Dividends

     Dividend  payment  dates are  scheduled for the last day of each month at a
per share amount determined by the Board of Directors at its quarterly meetings.
A dividend of $83,130 was declared and paid for the first quarter of 1998.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1997


1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

     Lockhart Caribbean Corporation (LCC) is organized as a United States Virgin
Islands  corporation  engaged in owning,  developing and leasing commercial real
estate.  LCC leases  developed  land,  and retail and office  space to customers
primarily  under  long-term  leases.  The  accompanying  consolidated  financial
statements  include the accounts of LCC and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries  H.E.
Lockhart  Management,  Inc. (HELM) and Lockhart Realty, Inc. (LRI).  Significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. On
July 5, 1997, the  shareholders  of The Lockhart  Companies  Incorporated  (LCI)
voted to restructure and  recapitalize  the Company and to offer common stock to
the public in an initial  public  offering to be registered  with the Securities
and   Exchange   Commission.   In   connection   with  the   restructuring   and
recapitalization,  LCI  changed its name to Lockhart  Caribbean  Corporation  on
August 22, 1997. On the same date,  the  shareholders  of LCI exchanged  each of
their shares for 9.7 shares of Class B common stock of LCC. The  transaction has
been  accounted  for  in  a  manner  similar  to  a  pooling-of-interests   and,
accordingly, the financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31,
1996 and  1995  have  been  restated  to give  retroactive  recognition  to this
transaction.  Initial public offering  expenses,  consisting  primarily of legal
fees, amounting to approximately $463,000 were capitalized at December 31, 1997.

     On February 4, 1998, LCC's registration statement was declared effective by
the U.S.  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  and  certain  state  regulatory
authorities.  The Company started  conducting its public offering primarily over
the World Wide Web.

Use of Estimates

     The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally  accepted  accounting  principles  which  requires  management to make
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets and
liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of
the  financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

     Cash equivalents  consist of short-term,  highly liquid  investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased.  Cash  equivalents  amounted to
$74,500 and $313,400 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively,  and consisted
primarily of money market instruments.

Construction-in-Progress

     Construction-in-progress  consists primarily of costs (including applicable
property  taxes and  interest)  incurred  relating  to  certain  renovation  and
rebuilding  projects.  These costs are included in operating  property  when the
projects are completed.

Operating Property

     Operating  property  is  stated  on the  basis of cost.  LCC  provides  for
depreciation of operating property using the straight-line  method for financial
reporting purposes and the modified  accelerated cost recovery system for income
tax  purposes  over their  estimated  useful  lives,  which range from 5 to 31.5
years.  Expenditures  for maintenance and general repairs are charged to expense
as incurred, whereas major improvements are classified as additions to operating
property.

Capitalized Interest

     Interest is  capitalized  as a component of the cost of operating  property
constructed.  In 1997  and  1995  interest  amounting  to  $6,200  and  $97,600,
respectively, was capitalized. No interest was capitalized in 1996.

Deferred Revenue

     Amounts  received  from  lessees for lease  acquisitions  are  deferred and
amortized over the term of the lease on the straight-line method.

Lease Termination Costs

     Lease termination costs are charged to operations as incurred.

Deferred Financing Costs

     Deferred  financing costs represent costs incurred  related to the issuance
of debt and are amortized over the term of the related debt.  Deferred financing
costs at December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 are summarized as follows:


                                                1997               1996

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

     The  following  methods  and  assumptions  were  used  by  the  Company  in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

     Cash and cash  equivalents:  The carrying  amounts  reported in the balance
     sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets' fair values.

     Note  receivable:  The  carrying  amount  reported  in  the  balance  sheet
     approximates fair value due to the underlying collateral on the note.

<PAGE>

                 Lockhart Caribbean Corporation and Subsidiaries
             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


     Mortgage  and other notes  payable:  The  carrying  amounts of the mortgage
     notes, which bear interest based on the financial institution's prime rate,
     approximate fair value due to the periodic repricing of the interest rates.
     The carrying amounts of the fixed rate mortgage note, the installment note,
     and other notes payable  approximate  fair value based on  discounted  cash
     flow analyses.

2.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Comprehensive Income

     In June  1997,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No.  130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive

reports  issued to  shareholders.  It also  establishes  standards  for  related
disclosures about products and services,  geographic areas, and major customers.
SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial  statements for periods  beginning after

     The $14.6 million mortgage note to HELM is payable in monthly  installments
of  $125,032  commencing  in May 1997  after a six month  interest-only  payment
period. A final balloon payment of $14.1 million is due when the note matures in
April  2000.  However,  if  there  are  no  events  of  default,  the  financial
institution has agreed to convert the balance  outstanding on April 1, 2000 to a
term loan payable in 15 years and bearing  interest at prime plus .5%.  Proceeds
of the note were used to retire  mortgage and  installment  notes issued for the
renovation  of the Grand  Hotel,  the  acquisition  of Red Hook  Plaza  Shopping
Center, and a term loan secured by Drakes Passage  properties,  and to retire an
interim loan of $10.4 million,  used to acquire the Orange Grove Shopping Center
and Fort Mylner properties, obtained during 1996.

     The mortgage note with an outstanding  balance of $4.46 million on December
31, 1997 is payable in monthly  installments of $38,537  commencing in May, 1997
after an  initial  interest-only  payment  period.  A final  balloon  payment of
approximately  $4.3  million is  payable  when the note  matures in April  2000.
However, if there are no events of default, the financial institution has agreed
to convert the balance outstanding on April 1, 2000 to a term loan payable in 15
years and bearing interest at prime plus .5%. The proceeds of the note were used
to liquidate  the mortgage note issued for the  renovation  of Lockhart  Gardens
Shopping Center. HELM is the borrower on this note.

     The  mortgage  note to LRI  with an  outstanding  balance  of  $737,723  at
December  31, 1997 is payable in monthly  installments  of $6,306 plus  interest
through May, 1999 and a final payment of $630,520 due in June, 1999.

     Proceeds of the mortgage  note with a balance of $4,635,737 at December 31,
1997 were used to finance the acquisition of Red Hook Plaza Shopping Center. The
note is payable in monthly  installments of $36,975 commencing in February 1996.
A final  installment  comprised of the principal sum then  outstanding  together
with any unpaid  interest is payable when the note matures in January 2004.  The
note is secured by a first priority mortgage on properties at the Red Hook Plaza
Shopping Center,  a conditional  assignment of leases and rents, and a guarantee
of LCC up to a maximum amount of $750,000.  Red Hook Plaza, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of HELM, is the borrower on this note.

     HELM  obtained a $1 million  non-revolving  line of credit from a financial
institution.  $746,000  and  $300,000  was  drawn  on the line of  credit  as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The balance outstanding under the line
of credit is due and payable in April 2000.  However,  if there are no events of
default, the financial institution has agreed to convert the balance outstanding
on April 1, 2000 to a term loan  payable  in 15 years and  bearing  interest  at
prime plus .5%.  Interest  is  accrued  on the  unpaid  balance at .5% above the
institution's prime rate and is payable monthly.

     The proceeds  from the $500,000  demand notes to HELM and LRI were used for
the  development of Lockhart Mall at Lockhart  Gardens  Shopping  Center and the
Market Square East development  project.  The demand notes are payable on demand
and  interest is paid in  variable  monthly  installments.  Interest is computed
based on the institution's prime rate (8.50% at December 31, 1997) plus .5%. The
demand notes  represent  advances to HELM and LRI until the final closing of two
construction  loans  ($1.8  million  for Market  Square  East and  $577,000  for
Lockhart projects) already committed by a financial institution.

     The financial institution granted a moratorium on principal payments of the
three  mortgage  notes due to the effects of Hurricane  Marilyn.  The moratorium
period was from  November  1995 to July 1996 for the $3.7  million  mortgage  to
HELM,  and from November  1995 to January 1996 for the $1.9 million  mortgage to
HELM and the  $883,000  mortgage  to LRI.  The  principal  payments  during  the
moratorium  period  were added to the balloon  payments  due when the notes were
scheduled to mature.

Installment Notes

     In 1990, HELM purchased a lease on its Drake's Passage  property through an
installment  note  payable.  The note  was  scheduled  to  mature  in 1997.  The
acquisition  of the lease was  recorded  as a  capitalized  asset at the present
value of the  acquisition  cost.  The  capitalized  asset and discount are being
amortized  over  the  seven  year  term of the  installment  note.  The note was
liquidated in 1996 with the proceeds of the $14.6  mortgage note. As of December
31, 1997, the lease was fully amortized.

     In  February  1997,  HELM  purchased  a  vehicle  for  $13,800  through  an
installment note payable.  The note matures on January 1, 2002 and is payable in
monthly  principal  installments  of $230 plus interest at 1.25% over prime rate
(9.75% at December 31, 1997).

     In July,  1996, HELM purchased a vehicle for $59,000 through an installment
note  payable.  The note  matures  on June 1,  2001 and is  payable  in  monthly
principal  installments of $983 plus interest at 1.25% over prime rate (9.75% at
December 31, 1997).

credit as of December  31,  1997.  The line of credit  expires on July 31, 1998.
Advances under the line of credit will bear interest at the institution's  prime

building space and ground leases to tenants under noncancelable lease agreements
which expire at various dates. Five year renewal options are available with most

if  applicable,  for certain  additional  costs  incurred by the lessor and/or a
percentage  of gross  sales.  Included  in rental  income  for the  years  ended
December  31,  1997,   1996  and  1995  are  $52,000,   $77,000  and   $100,000,

7.   Lease Termination and Deferred Revenue

     In July  1997,  Woolworth  Corporation  (Woolworth)  decided  to close  its
department  store  operations  throughout the United States,  including the U.S.
Virgin  Islands,  and as of October 31,  1997,  ceased  retail sales at Lockhart
Gardens Shopping Center. Woolworth's lease did not expire until 2001, and it was
obligated  to make base rental  payments and tenant  reimbursements  until lease
expiration.  The Company,  through H.E. Lockhart Management,  Inc., negotiated a
lease  termination  agreement.  The new tenant that took possession of the space
occupied by Woolworth reimbursed the Company for the payment made to Woolworth.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


     The amount received from the Tenant for lease acquisition has been deferred
and will be amortized  over the initial  term of the lease on the  straight-line
method.

8.   Transactions with Related Parties

     The amounts from  shareholders  are  interest  bearing and have no specific
repayment  terms.  However,  if the maximum offering of $13 million is sold, the
Company  will use  approximately  $525,000  of the last one  million  raised  to
repurchase  approximately  80,769  shares of Class B Common  Stock from  certain
Class B Stockholders including those holding notes payable to the Company. Those
shareholders  holding  notes payable to the Company have agreed to use a portion
of the  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  shares  to the  Company  to  repay  their
indebtedness to the Company.

     A shareholder of LCC and member of the Board of Directors is also a partner
of a law firm which  renders  legal  services  to LCC.  During  the years  ended
December  31,  1997,  1996  and  1995  fees  paid to the law  firm  amounted  to
approximately $147,000, $201,000 and $100,000, respectively.

     In November 1997, HELM purchased a vehicle for $23,000 for one of the major
shareholders of the Company.

9.   Employee Benefit Plan

     The  Company,  through  HELM,  sponsors a  defined-contribution  retirement
benefit plan,  subject to ERISA, that covers  substantially  all employees.  The
plan provides that the Company will match the employee-directed contributions up
to a maximum of $500. The Company's  contributions  pursuant to the plan for the
year ended December 31, 1997 were approximately $16,600.

10.  Dividends

     Dividends  payment dates are scheduled for the last day of each month, with
the per share amount paid per dividends  determined by the Board of Directors at
its quarterly meetings.  A dividend of $332,581 was declared and paid to Class B
shareholders for the entire 1997 fiscal year.

11.  Impact of Year 2000 - Unaudited

     The Company is assessing the  modifications or replacements of its software
that may be necessary for its computer systems to function properly with respect
to the dates in the year 2000 and thereafter.  The Company does not believe that
the cost of either  modifying  existing  software or  converting to new software
will  be  significant  or  that  the  year  2000  issue  will  pose  significant
operational problems for its computer systems.

12.  Subsequent Events

     On March 1, 1998, the Company increased its revolving line of credit from a
financial  institution  from  $400,000 to $550,000.  Advances  under the line of
credit will bear interest at the  institution's  prime rate.  The line of credit
expires on September 30, 1998.

     On March 31, 1998, LRI sold 3.7 acres of land at Sugar Estate Park for $2.8
million.  The Company used a portion of the  proceeds  from the sale to repay an
existing  mortgage  note payable with an  outstanding  balance of $737,723 as of
December 31, 1997.

     The  following  unaudited  pro  forma  condensed  financial  statements  of
Lockhart   Caribbean   Corporation   (the   "Company")   reflect  the  following
transactions:  (i) the sale of a portion  of the  Company's  Sugar  Estate  Park
development  (3.684 acres of land) to the land lessee,  Fortress  Self  Storage,
Inc., for $2.8 million,  and (ii) repayment of all outstanding debt on the Sugar
Estate business park with a portion of the proceeds from the sale. The unaudited
pro forma  balance  sheet as of  December  31,  1997 shows the  effects of these
transactions  as if they had  occurred  at the date of the  balance  sheet.  The
unaudited condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997
shows the effects of these  transactions  as if they had  occurred on January 1,
1997.  Only items with a  continuing  impact  and of a  nonrecurring  nature are
presented  as  adjustments  in the  preparation  of the pro forma  statement  of
operations.  However,  there are certain  nonrecurring  items resulting directly
from the transactions that are material and,  therefore,  separately  disclosed.
These  nonrecurring  items are presented as adjustments on the pro forma balance
sheet.  The pro  forma  condensed  financial  statements  were  prepared  by the
management of the Company.  These pro forma condensed  financial  statements may
not be  indicative  of the  results  that  actually  would have  occurred if the
transactions  had been effected on the dates  indicated or which may be obtained
in the future.

Notes:
- ------

(1)  With a tax loss  carry-forward of approximately $3.4 million as of December
     31, 1997, the income tax provision is charged against deferred taxes rather
     than income tax payable and is, therefore, not a payable to the government.
