JWP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that JWP
INC. (the "Company") will continue as a going concern. The matters discussed
below raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going
concern is dependent upon its ability to restructure its indebtedness in its
Chapter 11 proceeding, obtain sufficient surety bonds to guarantee its
performance of construction contracts, return to profitability, obtain new
credit facilities and generate sufficient cash flow to meet its restructured
and other obligations on a timely basis.
The Company had a working capital deficit of $372.3 million after the
reclassification of long-term debt in default and a shareholders' deficit of
$203.9 million at June 30, 1993. Many of the Company's mechanical and
electrical contracts require surety bonds to guarantee the performance of such
contracts. The Company's surety bonding companies are reviewing bid and
performance bond requests on a case-by-case basis for large construction
projects and those with durations of more than two years. Further, the Company
is experiencing significant constraints in its bonding line which has adversely
affected its operations. In addition, a surety bonding company that had been
the primary source of surety bonds for certain subsidiaries, which together
comprised approximately 20% of the Company's 1993 revenues of those
mechanical/electrical companies which the Company currently plans to retain, is
no longer engaged in the business of issuing such bonds. As a result, these
subsidiaries are currently not receiving such bonds. However, the absence of
available surety bonding for these subsidiaries has not resulted in a material
reduction in their backlog. The Company and these subsidiaries are actively
engaged in discussions with another surety bonding company which has undertaken
due diligence for the purpose of entering into a new surety bonding
arrangement. However, there can be no assurance that such a new surety bonding
arrangement will be entered into. The failure to obtain a new surety bonding
company for these subsidiaries would materially adversely affect the Company.
The Company is focused on returning to profitability and restructuring its
operations primarily around a smaller international mechanical/electrical
services business. The Company has formulated a business restructuring plan
which includes the sale of its information services business, water supply
business, several non-core businesses and certain mechanical/electrical
services operations and the closing or downsizing of unprofitable operations.
The proceeds from the sale of these businesses and other assets to date have
been used for working capital and to reduce debt. There is no assurance that
the Company will be able to consummate the remaining sales and, if consummated,
whether the Company will realize the proceeds contemplated by the plan.
As described in Note C, the Company is in default of covenants contained in
its bank revolving credit agreement, senior note agreements, 12% subordinated
note agreements and its 7 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures and is
presently in a Chapter 11 proceeding. The outstanding amount of such debt in
default at December 31, 1993 was $501.0 million.
On December 21, 1993, three holders of the Company's 7 3/4% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures filed an involuntary petition under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code against the Company. The Company on February 14, 1994
consented to the entry of an order for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code. At that time, the Company adopted a proposed plan of
reorganization and its subsidiaries continue to operate in the normal course of
business. The Company's plan of reorganization, as amended (the "Plan of
Reorganization"), was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on September 30,
1994. The Plan of Reorganization provides that the Company's creditors, other
than subordinated note holders, will exchange approximately $605 million of
holding company debt for 100% of the equity of the reorganized
7
<PAGE>
Company and for approximately $136 million of notes of the reorganized Company
and approximately $48 million of notes of a newly organized subsidiary. Holders
of approximately $18 million of subordinated debt will exchange their notes for
warrants to purchase common stock in the reorganized Company. Additionally,
holders of the Company's common and preferred stock and warrants of
participation will have their JWP securities canceled and will receive warrants
to purchase common stock in the reorganized Company. With the exception of
approximately $62 million of new notes to be due in 2001, substantially all of
the new debt is expected to be paid from the proceeds of assets sales.
The Company is working to make distributions under its Plan of Reorganization
as soon as possible in the Fall of 1994. The actual date on which the Company
will emerge from Chapter 11 is subject to certain conditions to the Plan of
Reorganization becoming effective being satisfied, including the obtaining of a
new working capital line which is in the process of being negotiated. However,
there can be no assurance that the Plan of Reorganization will become effective
or, if so, its timing.
The Company's mechanical/electrical services, water supply and other
operating subsidiaries are not parties to the Chapter 11 proceeding. All
operating subsidiary obligations continue to be paid in the ordinary course of
business.
In April 1992, the Company announced its intention to sell its water supply
business. However, in July 1993, the Company's Board of Directors decided not
to proceed with the sale due to uncertainties created by the then pending rate-
related matters and litigation which are described in Note H. In December 1993,
the Company's subsidiary, Jamaica Water Supply Company ("JWS"), entered into an
agreement with respect to the rate-related proceedings and litigation thereby
eliminating significant uncertainties relating to the water supply business.
This agreement was approved by the New York State Public Service Commission on
February 2, 1994. Accordingly, the Company reinstated its plan of sale in the
first quarter of 1994. In March 1993, the Company's Board of Directors approved
the disposition of the Company's U.S. information services business. The Board
of Directors had previously decided to sell the Company's overseas information
services subsidiaries. Operating results for all periods presented have been
reclassified to reflect the Company's information services business and water
supply business as discontinued operations (see Note D).
As indicated above, the Company has developed a business restructuring plan
which also contemplates the sale of certain of its mechanical/electrical
services business units, its water supply business and certain other non-core
businesses. The net assets of businesses to be sold have been classified in the
condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 1993 and December 31, 1992
as "Net assets held for sale" and carried as either current or long-term assets
on the basis of their actual or expected disposition dates.
As a result of the restatement of the Company's first and second quarter
earnings of 1992 and write-offs and losses announced by the Company on August
4, 1992 and on October 2, 1992, a consolidated class action lawsuit for
unspecified damages was filed against the Company, certain former officers and
directors, four current directors, a former subsidiary company officer and the
Company's then independent auditor, Ernst & Young. The complaint alleges
violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, Rule
10b-5 promulgated thereunder and common law fraud and deceit on the part of the
Company and other named defendants. The Company has denied the material
allegations contained in the complaint. The parties are now engaged in
discovery proceedings. However, under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization,
claimants in the class action litigation will not be entitled to recover
damages, if any, from the Company, although they will receive warrants to
purchase common stock of the reorganized Company.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1993 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1993. For further
8
<PAGE>
information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1992.
NOTE B NET (LOSS) PER SHARE
Net loss per common share for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1993 and 1992 has been calculated based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding and common stock equivalents relating to
stock options outstanding when the effect of such equivalents are dilutive
(40,805,270 and 40,678,789 for the three months ended June 30, 1993 and 1992,
respectively, and 40,796,353 and 40,537,662 for the six months ended June 30,
1993 and 1992, respectively). For 1993 and 1992, per common share loss from
continuing operations and net loss reflect dividends of $0.45 million and $0.9
million for the three and six month periods, respectively, which were paid or
accrued on the Company's preferred stock. Cumulative unpaid dividends through
June 30, 1993 aggregate $1.4 million.
NOTE C DEBT IN DEFAULT
Debt in default consists of (in thousands):
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Notes payable to banks under revolving credit facility at
prime plus 3/4%.............................................. $155,795
Senior notes, payable to insurance companies, 9.1% to 10.95%.. 328,572
--------
Total senior debt............................................. 484,367
Subordinated notes, payable to insurance companies, 12%....... 9,600
7 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures.................... 7,040
--------
$501,007
========
</TABLE>
The Company has failed to make principal payments on its senior notes and 12%
subordinated notes and is in default under various financial covenants
contained in the loan agreements to which these notes were issued, including
covenants requiring maintenance of minimum tangible net worth and minimum
current ratio. Its bank revolving credit facility contains certain financial
and other covenants, including covenants requiring maintenance of minimum
tangible net worth and minimum current ratio, under which the Company is in
default. As a result, the entire amount of such notes and bank indebtedness has
been classified in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as
"Debt in default". Additionally, the Company has not made scheduled semiannual
interest payments since September 1, 1993 with respect to its 7 3/4%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures and, accordingly, such debentures have been
classified as "Debt in default" in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheets.
Commencing in April 1993, the Company ceased making payments of principal and
interest under its revolving credit facility and on its senior and subordinated
notes. Interest continued to accrue in accordance with the provisions of the
loan agreements pursuant to which these notes were issued which in certain
circumstances include default rates of an additional 2% and in one case 4%
until December 21, 1993, the date on which an involuntary bankruptcy petition
was filed against the Company. At June 30, 1993 and December 31, 1992, accrued
interest applicable to debt in default was $19.7 million and $5.8 million,
respectively. Such amounts are included in "Other accrued expenses and
liabilities" in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The
Company has pledged to the holders of its senior notes and bank indebtedness
the common stock of certain subsidiaries held for sale and certain proceeds
from the sale of one of those subsidiaries which have a combined net book value
of $24.0 million as of June 30, 1993.
Certain of the Company's loan agreements contain covenants which restrict its
ability to pay dividends on its common stock. As indicated, the Company is in
default under these loan agreements and is in a Chapter 11 proceeding.
9
<PAGE>
See Note A with respect to the contemplated exchange of the debt in default
for new debt and equity securities under the Plan of Reorganization, which was
confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on September 30, 1994.
NOTE D DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In March 1993, the Company's Board of Directors approved the disposition of
the Company's U.S. information services business. The Board of Directors had
previously decided to sell the Company's overseas information services
businesses. Accordingly, operating results of the information services
businesses have been classified as discontinued operations. In August 1993, the
Company sold substantially all of its U.S. information services business. The
assets of the information services group consist primarily of inventory held
for resale and accounts receivable. Under the terms of the sale agreement, the
purchaser assumed the debt and other liabilities relating to the ongoing
operations of the business. The Company received warrants to buy up to 10% of
the purchaser's common stock for a nominal amount. The Company has assigned no
value to these warrants. At June 30, 1993 and December 31, 1992 the net assets
of the information services group are included in "Net assets held for sale" in
the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
In April 1992, the Company announced its intention to sell its water supply
business. However, in July 1993, the Company's Board of Directors decided not
to proceed with the sale due to uncertainties created by the then pending rate-
related proceedings and litigation. In December 1993, JWS entered into an
agreement with respect to the rate-related proceedings and litigation. This
agreement was approved by the New York State Public Service Commission on
February 2, 1994. Accordingly, the Company reinstated its plan of sale in the
first quarter of 1994. The financial statements for all periods presented
reflect the water supply business as discontinued operations.
See Note H with respect to the status of a proceeding initiated in 1988 by
the City of New York to acquire by condemnation all of the water distribution
system of JWS that is located in New York City.
The assets of the water supply business consist primarily of utility plant
and equipment which are located in Nassau and Queens Counties in the State of
New York. The net assets of the water supply business, which aggregate $59.7
million and $57.2 million at June 30, 1993 and December 31, 1992, respectively,
are classified as a long-term asset in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheets under the caption "Net assets held for sale".
Combined operating results of discontinued operations are as follows (in
thousands):

NOTE E OTHER BUSINESSES SOLD AND NET ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
In May 1993, the Company completed the sale of its subsidiary Software House,
Inc., a manufacturer of security systems, for cash proceeds of $12.6 million
and realized a net gain of $2.7 million. In addition to
10
<PAGE>
Software House, the Company has sold a number of non-core businesses and other
assets in the first six months of 1993 for cash proceeds of $31.9 million. The
Company did not realize a material gain or loss in 1993 from these sales. The
Company's Board of Directors has approved a plan for the sale of the Company's
remaining energy and environmental related businesses, other non-core
businesses and certain mechanical/electrical operations. The operating results
of these businesses are included in (loss) from continuing operations.
Revenues and operating (loss) income of the other businesses sold and held
for sale for the three and six months ended June 30, 1993 and 1992 are as

NOTE F INSURANCE RESERVES
The Company is primarily insured with a wholly-owned captive insurance
subsidiary ("Defender") for its workers' compensation, automobile and general
liability insurance. At June 30, 1993, the Company and Defender had letters of
credit outstanding totaling $36.4 million which in effect secure their
insurance obligations. The letters of credit were intended to serve as
collateral for the obligations of Defender to reimburse the Company's unrelated
insurance carriers for claims paid with respect to certain years' insurance
programs. Letters of credit of $34.9 million and $1.5 million expire in
December 1994 and February 1995, respectively. Since October 1992 neither the
Company nor Defender has been able to obtain additional letters of credit to
secure their insurance obligations and, as a result, have been required to make
cash collateral deposits with an unrelated third party insurance company to
secure those types of obligations. The deposits totaled $14.7 million and $7.7
million as of June 30, 1993 and December 31, 1992, respectively, and are
classified as a long-term asset in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheets under the caption "Miscellaneous Assets."
NOTE G INCOME TAXES
The Company has substantial net operating loss carry-forwards ("NOL") for
U.S. income tax purposes expiring in years through 2008. As of June 30, 1993
the Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of such
NOLs.

NOTE H LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Since August 1992 nineteen purported class action lawsuits have been filed
against the Company arising out of the restatements of earnings, write-offs and
losses announced by the Company on August 4, 1992 and October 2, 1992. Pursuant
to Stipulation and Court Order, on January 15, 1993, a single consolidated
amended class action complaint (the "Complaint") was filed. The Complaint names
as defendants the Company, certain former officers and directors, four current
directors, a former subsidiary officer and the Company's then independent
auditor, Ernst & Young.
The Complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, Rule 10b- 5 promulgated thereunder and common law fraud
and deceit on the part of the Company and certain other defendants. Among other
things, the Company is alleged to have intentionally and materially overstated
its inventory, accounts receivable and earnings in various public
disseminations during the purported class period May 1, 1991 through October 2,
1992. The Complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages. The Company has
denied the material allegations contained in the Complaint. The parties are now
engaged in discovery proceedings. However, under the Plan of Reorganization, no
damages will be recoverable from the Company by claimants in the class action
litigation, although they will receive warrants to purchase common stock of the
reorganized Company.
The Company had been informed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") that it was conducting a private investigation to determine whether
there have been violations of certain provisions of the federal securities laws
and/or the rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with the Company's
financial records, reports and public disclosures. The Company has been
cooperating with the SEC's staff and has voluntarily produced requested
documents and information. On April 12, 1994, the SEC's staff informed the
Company of its intention to recommend that the SEC file a civil injunction
against the Company. The Company is currently engaged in discussions with the
SEC's staff concerning a possible consensual resolution of the matter.
In January 1992 the Public Service Commission of the State of New York
("PSC") ordered its staff to perform an audit covering all aspects of
operations of JWS. The audit report alleged that mismanagement and imprudence
on the part of JWS may have resulted in excess charges to its customers of up
to $10.6 million. Based on the audit report, in June 1992 the PSC instituted a
proceeding requiring JWS to demonstrate that its rates charged to customers are
not excessive and provided for an investigation of JWS' management practices.
As part of this proceeding and citing the audit report's assertion without
receiving the audit report in evidence, the PSC ordered that $10.6 million of
JWS' annual revenues be made temporary and subject to refund, effective August
6, 1992, pending the completion of the investigation.
Between December 1992 and May 1993 representatives of JWS, the PSC, consumer
advocate groups, the County of Nassau, the Town of Hempstead and others
appeared and submitted testimony in the PSC proceedings. On June 3, 1993, the
PSC issued an order suspending hearings and appointed two administrative law
judges for the purpose of effecting a settlement. Negotiations among the
parties and the settlement judges were ongoing from that time.
In addition on February 5, 1993 the County of Nassau filed a complaint in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York alleging that JWS intentionally filed
false rate applications with the PSC and, as a result, for the period from
March 31, 1987 through March 31, 1992, JWS had earnings that exceeded its
projections by $8.7 million. The complaint alleged that this conduct
constituted violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations
Act ("RICO") and common law fraud.
On December 22, 1993 JWS, the New York State Consumer Protection Board,
Nassau County, certain other governmental bodies and a consumer advocate group
entered into an agreement that ended the several regulatory and legal
proceedings against JWS. The agreement was approved by the PSC on February 2,
1994. The agreement provides for, among other things, a three year general rate
case moratorium, resolution of the
12
<PAGE>
economic issues raised by the PSC arising from its 1992 audit of JWS,
settlement of related litigation and the dismissal of Nassau County's RICO
lawsuit against JWS. JWS agreed, in consideration of avoided litigation and
other costs associated with the proceedings, to make payments over the periods
January 1994 through December 1996 totaling $11.7 million to customers in
Nassau and Queens Counties in the State of New York. In connection with this
settlement, the Company provided for a pre-tax charge of $7.0 million in the
fourth quarter of 1992. The agreement also provides that JWS will use its best
efforts to bring about the separation of Jamaica Water Securities Corp., a
subsidiary of the Company which holds substantially all the common stock of
JWS, from the Company.
In 1986 the State of New York enacted a statute requiring the City of New
York (the "City") to acquire by condemnation all of the JWS property
constituting or relating to its water distribution system located in the City
only if a Supreme Court of the State of New York (the "Supreme Court") decides
that the amount of compensation to be paid for the system is determined solely
by the income capitalization method of valuation. If the Court determines
compensation by a method other than the income capitalization method or the
award is for more than the rate base of the condemned assets, the statute
permits the City to withdraw the proceeding without prejudice or costs. In
1988, the City instituted a proceeding pursuant to the statute to acquire the
system which constitutes approximately 75% of JWS' water utility plant. JWS
argued at trial that the judicially recognized method for valuing public
utility property is by the method known as "Reproduction Cost New, Less
Depreciation". JWS also sought consequential and severance damages that would
result from separating the JWS Nassau County water supply system from that in
the City. The aggregate amount sought by JWS as of December 31, 1987 was
approximately $924 million. The City submitted its income capitalization
valuation, as of December 31, 1987, at approximately $63 million.
In June 1993 the Supreme Court dismissed the City's petition. The Supreme
Court concluded, among other things, that the statute is unconstitutional
because it directs the Court to render an advisory opinion.
In February 1994 the New York Court of Appeals held constitutional a nearly-
identical statute dealing with another water utility. In April 1994, upon a
request made by the City for reconsideration, the Supreme Court stated that it
would reconsider its prior decision in light of the February decision of the
Court of Appeals. The Company cannot predict when or if the Supreme Court will
conduct further proceedings under the statute nor is it possible to predict
what the decision of the Supreme Court might be if it decides to value the JWS
property or the effect of the pending litigation on the proposed sale of JWS.
In 1993 the Company's French and Belgian information services subsidiaries
filed petitions in their respective countries seeking relief from their
creditors. The French and Belgian subsidiaries have outstanding unsecured
credit facilities which are guaranteed by the Company aggregating $5.9 million.
Such amount was provided for as a loss in the fourth quarter of 1992.
As described in Note D, in August 1993 the Company sold its U.S. information
services business. In October 1993 the subsidiary formerly carrying on this
business filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code.
In connection with an investigation of the plumbing industry being conducted
by the New York County District Attorney's office, two related subsidiaries of
the Company engaged in the plumbing business in New York City have received
subpoenas for certain of their books and records. The subsidiaries have
complied with those subpoenas. Additionally, certain employees of these
subsidiaries have been subpoenaed to testify as witnesses before a grand jury
and those employees have complied with the subpoenas.
The Company is involved in other legal proceedings and claims which have
arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Company cannot predict the
outcome thereof or the impact that an adverse result will have upon its
financial position or the results of its operations.

NOTE I ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Accounting For Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions" (SFAS 106). The estimated present value of the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligations under SFAS 106 approximated $7.0 million at
January 1, 1993. The adoption of SFAS 106 did not have a material impact upon
the Company's consolidated results of operations.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits" (SFAS 112) which the Company adopted effective January 1, 1994. The
estimated present value of the Company's accumulated post-employment benefit
obligations under SFAS 112 is $2.1 million as of January 1, 1994, which
includes obligations for short-term disability and employee severance benefits.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the second quarter of 1993 were $583.9 million compared to
$606.8 million in the second quarter of 1992. In the second quarter of 1993 the
Company incurred a net loss of $15.9 million or $0.40 per share compared to a
net loss of $54.0 million or $1.34 per share in the second quarter of 1992.
Loss from continuing operations in the second quarter of 1993 was $19.0 million
or $0.48 per share compared to a loss of $31.5 million or $0.80 per share in
the year earlier period. In the second quarter of 1993 income from discontinued
operations was $3.0 million or $0.08 per share compared to a loss of $22.5
million or $0.54 per share in the second quarter of 1992.
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1993 were $1,147.8 million
compared to $1,189.4 million in the year earlier period. For the six months
ended June 30, 1993, the Company incurred a net loss of $26.0 million or $0.66
per share compared to a net loss of $67.2 million or $1.68 per share for the
six months ended June 30, 1992. For the six months ended June 30, 1993 loss
from continuing operations was $30.8 million or $0.78 per share compared to a
loss of $39.3 million or $1.00 per share in the year earlier period. For the
six months ended June 30, 1993 income from discontinued operations was $4.7
million or $0.12 per share compared to a loss of $32.2 million or $0.79 per
share for the six months ended June 30, 1992. The net loss for the six months
ended June 30, 1992 includes an income tax benefit of $4.3 million or $0.11 per
share as a result of the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Loss from continuing
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1993 includes a net gain
of $4.0 million or $0.10 per share from the sale of businesses and other
assets.
On December 21, 1993, three holders of the Company's 7 3/4% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures filed an involuntary petition under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code against the Company. The Company on February 14, 1994
consented to the entry of an order for relief under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code. At that time the Company adopted a proposed plan of
reorganization. The Company's plan of reorganization, as amended (the "Plan of
Reorganization"), was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on September 30,
1994. The Plan of Reorganization provides for the exchange of substantially all
of the Company's indebtedness for new notes of the reorganized Company and a
newly organized subsidiary, all of its common stock and warrants to purchase
common stock of the reorganized Company. Holders of the Company's common and
preferred stock and warrants of participation also will receive warrants to
purchase common stock of the reorganized Company in exchange for their equity
interests. The Plan of Reorganization contemplates a business restructuring
plan which the Company initially developed in the third quarter of 1992 to
divest certain of its non-core businesses. There can be no assurance that the
Plan of Reorganization will become effective or, if so, its timing. Obtaining a
credit facility for the reorganized Company is one of the conditions to the
Plan of Reorganization becoming effective. See "Liquidity and Capital
Resources" below for additional discussion with respect to the Company's
business restructuring plan. Following the Company's public announcement in
October 1993 of its then proposed reorganization plan, the New York Stock
Exchange took action resulting in the delisting of the Company's common stock.
As of June 30, 1993, the Company had negative net worth of $203.9 million and
a working capital deficit of $372.3 million after the reclassification of debt
in default aggregating $501.0 million. The Company continues to fail to
generate sufficient cash to fund its operations and service its obligations.
From September 1992 to February 1994, when the Company obtained debtor-in-
possession financing, the Company did not have available credit facilities and,
consequently, funded its operations from working capital and proceeds from the
sale of businesses and other assets.
The Company's surety bonding companies are reviewing bid and performance bond
requests on a case-by-case basis for large construction projects and those with
durations of more than two years. Further, the
15
<PAGE>
Company is experiencing significant constraints in its bonding line which has
adversely affected its operations. In addition, a surety bonding company that
had been the primary source of bid and performance bonds for certain
subsidiaries, which together comprised approximately 20% of the Company's 1993
revenues of those mechanical/electrical companies which the Company currently
plans to retain, is no longer engaged in the business of issuing such bonds. As
a result, these subsidiaries are currently not receiving surety bonds. However,
the absence of available surety bonding for these subsidiaries has not resulted
in a material reduction in their backlog. The Company and these subsidiaries
are actively engaged in discussions with another surety bonding company which
has undertaken due diligence for the purpose of entering into a new surety
bonding arrangement. However, there can be no assurance that such a new surety
bonding arrangement will be entered into. The failure to obtain a new surety
bonding company for these subsidiaries would materially adversely affect the
Company.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis and do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that
might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to
restructure its indebtedness in the Chapter 11 proceedings, obtain sufficient
bonding to guarantee its performance of construction contracts, return to
profitability, obtain new credit facilities and generate sufficient cash flow
to meet its restructured and other obligations on a timely basis. See
"Liquidity and Capital Resources".
As a result of the restatement of the Company's first and second quarter
earnings of 1992 and write-offs and losses announced by the Company on August
4, 1992 and on October 2, 1992, class action lawsuits were filed on behalf of
shareholders against the Company and certain other defendants. The class action
lawsuits have been consolidated and the single consolidated amended class
action complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company intentionally
and materially overstated assets and earnings in various public disseminations
in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and
Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of
damages. The Company has denied the material allegations contained in the
complaint. The parties are now engaged in discovery proceedings. However, under
the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, claimants in the class action
litigation will not be entitled to recover damages, if any, from the Company,
although they will receive warrants to purchase common stock of the reorganized
Company. See Note H to the condensed consolidated financial statements for
additional discussion with respect to the shareholder litigation.
The Company had been informed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") that it is conducting a private investigation to determine whether there
have been violations of certain provisions of the federal securities laws
and/or the rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with the Company's
financial records, reports and public disclosures. The Company has been
cooperating with the SEC's staff and has voluntarily produced requested
documents and information. On April 12, 1994, the SEC's staff informed the
Company of its intention to recommend that the SEC file a civil injunction
action against the Company. The Company is currently engaged in discussions
with the SEC's staff concerning a possible consensual resolution of the matter.
MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL SERVICES
Revenues of the mechanical/electrical services business for the quarter ended
June 30, 1993 decreased by 3.8% to $583.9 million from $606.8 million in 1992.
This decrease of approximately $22 million is primarily due to the loss of
revenues from the energy and environmental businesses sold during 1992 coupled
with lower revenues from those companies being held for sale. Those mechanical
and electrical business units which the Company plans to retain had a net
increase in revenues of approximately $25 million principally for those
business units operating in the East and West regions of the United States.
Operating loss for the second quarter of 1993 was $3.7 million compared to an
operating loss of $31.7 million in the second quarter of 1992. In connection
with the Company's business restructuring plan, certain mechanical/electrical
business units have been sold or identified for sale. The operating results of
such business units are included in the aforementioned operating results.
Revenues of the mechanical/electrical business units sold or held for sale
16
<PAGE>
for the three months ended June 30, 1993 and 1992 were $99.3 million and $145.8
million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 1993 and 1992, such
business units had operating losses of $1.6 million and $0.1 million,
respectively.
Revenues of the mechanical/electrical services business for the six months
ended June 30, 1993 decreased by 3.5% to $1,147.8 million from $1,189.4 million
in the year earlier period. This decrease of approximately $41 million is
primarily due to the loss of revenues from the energy and environmental
businesses sold during 1992 coupled with lower revenues from those companies
being held for sale. Those mechanical and electrical business units which the
Company plans to retain had a net increase in revenues of approximately $41
million. The increased revenues from those business units operating in the
East, Midwest and West regions of the United States were partially offset by
the declines in revenues from operations in Canada and the United Kingdom.
Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1993 was $2.3 million
compared to an operating loss of $32.0 million for the six months ended June
30, 1992. Revenues of the mechanical/electrical business units sold or held for
sale for the six months ended June 30, 1993 and 1992 were $198.0 million and
$279.0 million, respectively. Such units incurred an operating loss of $1.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 1993 compared to operating income of
$4.0 million in the year earlier period primarily because the Company no longer
owned its energy and environmental businesses.
The operating results for both the three and six months ended June 30, 1993
and 1992 reflect, among other things, the continued negative impact of the
recession and oversupply in the commercial real estate market which has caused
intense competition for new commercial work. As a result of the reduction of
commercial work, many of the Company's mechanical/electrical services business
units pursued noncommerical projects, primarily governmental and municipal
facilities, at lower margins than historically available in the commercial
marketplace. Certain of these business units were not as experienced in
performing noncommercial projects and, as a result, incurred losses
particularly on certain long-term contracts. Operating margins in 1993 and 1992
were also adversely affected by the continuing recessions in the United Kingdom
and Canada. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30,
1992 include provisions for losses on accounts and other receivables of $33.2
million and $40.6 million, respectively, due partially to the impact of the
recession on the financial condition of customers of the Company's
mechanical/electrical services business units. Additionally, the Company's
weakened financial condition negatively impacted its ability to settle claims
and unapproved change orders on a favorable basis.
The operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1992 also include
charges of $9.4 million applicable to: (a) the Company's discontinued lease and
project finance subsidiary ($2.7 million), (b) termination of certain municipal
solid waste to energy operations ($2.2 million, which amount is included in
restructuring charges in the accompanying statement of operations) and (c)
reorganization of the Company's U.S. mechanical/electrical services business
($4.5 million). Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses,
excluding general corporate and other expenses, for the quarters ended June 30,
1993 and 1992 were $51.4 million and $114.4 million, respectively. For the six
months ended June 30, 1993 and 1992, SG&A expenses, excluding general corporate
and other expenses, were $103.9 million and $192.8 million, respectively. The
higher amounts of SG&A expenses in 1992 reflect the above charges. SG&A
expenses in 1993 were also lower than 1992 as a result of the implementation of
the Company's downsizing plans and the disposition of certain businesses.
At June 30, 1993, the mechanical/electrical services business backlog was
$1.3 billion compared to $1.6 billion at December 31, 1992. The Companys
overall backlog in its North American regions and in the United Kingdom has
stabilized at approximately $1.0 billion through June 1994. Such backlog
included $1.1 billion at June 30, 1993 and $1.3 billion at December 31, 1992
relating to companies which the Company currently intends to retain. A
reduction in backlog was experienced in business units operating in each of the
Company's North American regions and in the United Kingdom and is attributable
to the downsizing of the Company's operations, the Company's weakened financial
condition which adversely affects its ability to obtain new surety bonds and
contracts and the continuing recessions in the North American and overseas
construction markets. The Company's surety bonding companies have become more
selective in issuing new
17
<PAGE>
surety bonds and are reviewing bid and performance bonds on a case-by-case
basis, especially for larger projects and those with a duration of more than
two years. Additionally, the surety bonding companies will generally not bond
new projects for certain non-core businesses which the Company has identified
for sale. Surety bonds are frequently a condition to the award of a mechanical
or electrical contract. Prospects for a recovery in the commercial office
building market in both North America and the United Kingdom remain poor for
the immediate future.
Included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1993
under the caption "Excess of cost of acquired businesses over net assets, less
amortization" is $59.7 million of goodwill. Such goodwill relates to the
mechanical/electrical services business units which the Company currently
intends to retain. Management believes that such goodwill has not been
permanently impaired. However, if the Company were to decide to sell these
units, goodwill and other write-offs might be required depending upon then
existing market conditions and the future business prospects of the retained
units.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In April 1992, the Company announced its intention to sell its water supply
business. However in July 1993, the Company's Board of Directors decided not to
proceed with the sale due to the then pending rate-related proceedings and
litigation. As described below, in December 1993, the Company's subsidiary,
Jamaica Water Supply Company ("JWS"), entered into an agreement that became
effective February 2, 1994 with respect to the rate-related proceedings and
litigation (See Note H) thereby eliminating significant uncertainties relating
to the Company's water supply business. This agreement was approved by the New
York State Public Service Commission on February 2, 1994. Accordingly, the
Company reinstated its plan of sale in the first quarter of 1994. The condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect the water supply business as a
discontinued operation for all periods presented. See Note H regarding the
status of a proceeding initiated in 1988 by the City of New York with respect
to the possible condemnation of the water distribution system of JWS that is
located in New York City.
In March 1993 the Company's Board of Directors approved the disposition of
the Company's U.S. information services business which was sold in August 1993.
The Board of Directors had previously decided to sell the Company's overseas
information services businesses. Accordingly, operating results of the
information services businesses have been classified as discontinued
operations.
Revenues and income (loss) from discontinued operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1993 and 1992 were as follows:

</TABLE>
In 1992, the Company's information services business was broadly impacted by
several major factors including: (a) continued and severe sales and price
competition among personal computer manufacturers, distributors and resellers,
(b) continuing decrease in the price of personal computers, with attendant
pressure on gross margins, (c) rapid introduction of new technologically
enhanced products at prices not significantly different from prior technology,
thereby creating obsolete inventory, (d) manufacturers' difficulty in supplying
18
<PAGE>
products in the second quarter of 1992, (e) customer delay in purchases of
products in anticipation of further price reductions and (f) difficulties
encountered in integrating the operations of Businessland Inc., which was
acquired in August 1991, with the information services business' pre-existing
operations.
As a result of the foregoing, in the second quarter of 1992 the information
services business wrote-down the carrying value of its inventory (primarily
spare parts) and other assets (primarily receivables) by $22.0 million and $7.3
million, respectively. Also, in the second quarter of 1992, the information
services business incurred expenses of $4.0 million for the relocation of its
corporate headquarters to Rye Brook, New York.
The water supply business operating results are impacted by seasonal factors.
Its revenues are generally higher in the second and third quarters which
reflects the warmer weather conditions in the Northeast.
GENERAL CORPORATE AND OTHER EXPENSES
General corporate expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1993 and 1992
were $6.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively. General corporate expenses
for the six months ended June 30, 1993 and 1992 were $11.6 million and $8.6
million, respectively. General corporate and other expenses for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1993 include approximately $2.1 million and $4.6
million, respectively, related to legal, consulting and other professional fees
arising from the shareholder litigation, a proposed debt restructuring and the
restatement of the Company's financial statements. Interest expense for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1993 was $12.8 million and $25.0 million,
respectively, compared to $11.6 million and $22.0 million in the year earlier
period. The increase in interest expense in 1993 was primarily attributable to
penalty interest on debt in default.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the six months ended June 30, 1993, the Company's operations used $57.4
million of cash primarily to fund operating losses and working capital
requirements. From September 1992 to February 1994 the Company had no available
lines of credit and experienced significant cash outflow as a result of
operating losses coupled with adverse publicity associated with the restatement
of its first and second quarter 1992 financial statements, defaults under its
loan agreements and senior management changes. In February 1994 the Company
obtained a $35 million debtor-in-possession credit facility ("DIP Loan") from
Belmont Capital Partners II, L.P., an affiliate of Fidelity Investments
("Belmont"), which is described in greater detail below.
The Company's consolidated cash balance decreased from $86.8 million at
December 31, 1992 to $33.7 million at June 30, 1993. The June 30, 1993 cash
balance included $6.7 million in foreign bank accounts. Such bank accounts are
only available to support the Company's foreign operations. The negative
operating cash flow reflects continued pressure to accelerate payments of
accounts payable and the delay on the part of customers in payment of accounts
receivable caused by the Company's weakened financial condition. Additionally,
recurring operating losses, restructuring costs, professional fees relating to
debt restructuring negotiations and shareholder litigation adversely affected
cash flow. Cash deposits made to secure insurance obligations also negatively
impacted cash flow.
As a consequence of the Company's financial difficulties, an asset
disposition program was initiated in the third quarter of 1992 with respect to
the Company's non-core businesses and certain other assets to raise cash for
working capital and to reduce debt. For the six months ended June 30, 1993, the
Company received net cash proceeds of $31.9 million primarily from the sale of
its subsidiary Software House, Inc. for cash proceeds of $12.6 million. In
addition to Software House, Inc., the Company has sold its remaining rental
equipment business, a number of non-core businesses and certain other assets.
For the year ended December 31, 1993, the Company received $43.4 million from
the sale of certain overseas information services business units, other non-
core businesses and other assets. Such proceeds were used primarily for working
capital requirements. In the second quarter of 1992, the Company sold its
interest in a hospital's central utility plant and other assets and received
net cash proceeds of $22.2 million.
In February 1994, the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries
entered into an agreement with Belmont with respect to a DIP Loan. The DIP Loan
agreement provides a credit facility to the Company of
19
<PAGE>
$35 million at an interest rate of 12% per annum during the period of the
Company's Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding. Also, Belmont will receive, as
additional interest, a percentage of the securities to be issued under the Plan
of Reorganization. The DIP Loan is secured by a first lien on substantially all
of the assets of the Company and most of its subsidiaries. As of September 30,
1994, the Company had drawn down $25 million under the DIP loan.
The Company is in default of certain covenants of the DIP Loan. Pursuant to
written waivers of default, dated April 27, 1994, May 6, 1994 and August 2,
1994, the Company has been permitted by Belmont to draw on its line of credit.
Under the circumstances, any additional borrowings under the DIP Loan will
require further waivers of default.
The DIP Loan is to be repaid upon the effective date of the Plan of
Reorganization. The Company is actively seeking a working capital facility of
approximately $40 million. The proceeds of this new facility will be used to
refinance the Company's borrowings under the DIP Loan and to provide working
capital for the reorganized Company. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to obtain a new working capital facility or, if so, the amount of
any such facility. Obtaining such a facility is a condition to the Plan of
Reorganization becoming effective.
In August 1993, the Company sold substantially all the assets of its U.S.
information services subsidiary to ENTEX Information Services, Inc. ("ENTEX"),
a newly organized company owned by a private investor and the management of the
U.S. information services subsidiary. As part of the consideration for its
sale, the Company received warrants to buy up to 10% of the purchaser's common
stock for a nominal amount. The Company has ascribed no value to these
warrants. Additionally, ENTEX assumed substantially all the debt and other
liabilities and obligations relating to the ongoing operations of the U.S.
information services subsidiary; however, that subsidiary retained certain
lease obligations and certain tax liabilities. The Company was also released
from approximately $210 million of its guarantees of indebtedness and similar
obligations of the subsidiary. In October 1993, that subsidiary filed a
voluntary petition under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
As described in Notes A and C to the Company's condensed consolidated
financial statements, the Company is in default of covenants contained in its
loan agreements under which approximately $501.0 million was outstanding at
June 30, 1993 and December 31, 1992, including $484.4 million owed to senior
lenders and $16.6 million owed to subordinated note holders. With respect to
the defaulted senior loan agreements, "standstill arrangements" were negotiated
which covered the period from mid-December of 1992 through April 30, 1993.
Under the standstill arrangements, the senior lenders agreed, in principle, to
forebear the receipt of principal and to accept payment of interest during such
periods at reduced rates ranging from 4% to 6.75%. Since April 30, 1993, no
standstill arrangement has been in place and the Company has ceased making
principal and interest payments. However, interest continued to accrue under
the terms of the respective loan agreements, which in certain circumstances
include default rate premiums of an additional 2% and in one case 4% until
December 21, 1993, the date on which an involuntary bankruptcy petition was
filed against the Company. At June 30, 1993 and December 31, 1992, accrued
interest on defaulted debt was $19.7 million and $5.8 million, respectively.
The Company has pledged to the holders of its senior notes and bank
indebtedness the common stock of certain subsidiaries held for sale and certain
proceeds from the sale of one of these subsidiaries. The combined net book
value of these subsidiaries was $24.0 million at June 30, 1993.
The Company has not made scheduled semiannual interest payments since
September 1, 1993 with respect to its 7 3/4% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures. All interest payments on such debt were previously paid when due.
The outstanding principal balance of the debentures at June 30, 1993 and
December 31, 1992 in the amount of approximately $7.0 million has been included
in "Debt in default" in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on
September 30, 1994. The Plan of Reorganization provides that the Companys
creditors, other than subordinated noteholders, will
20
<PAGE>
exchange approximately $605 million of holding company debt for 100% of the
equity of the reorganized Company and for approximately $136 million of notes
of the reorganized Company and approximately $48 million of notes of a newly
organized subsidiary. Holders of approximately $18 million of subordinated debt
will exchange their notes for warrants to purchase common stock in the
reorganized Company. Additionally, holders of the Company's common and
preferred stock and warrants of participation will have their JWP securities
canceled and will receive warrants to purchase common stock in the reorganized
Company. With the exception of approximately $62 million of new notes to be due
in 2001, substantially all of the new debt is expected to be paid from the
proceeds of assets sales.
The Company is working to make distributions under its Plan of Reorganization
as soon as possible in the Fall of 1994. The actual date on which the Company
will emerge from Chapter 11 is subject to certain conditions to the Plan
becoming effective being satisfied, including the obtaining of a new working
capital line which is in the process of being negotiated. However, there can be
no assurance that the Plan of Reorganization will become effective or, if so,
its timing.
Only JWP INC., the parent holding company, is the subject of the proceeding
under Chapter 11. The Company's mechanical/electrical, water supply and other
operating subsidiaries are not parties to this proceeding. All operating
subsidiary obligations continue to be paid in the ordinary course of business.
The Company's Canadian subsidiary, Comstock Canada, is negotiating with a
Canadian bank to obtain a Canadian $7.5 million (approximately U.S. $5.6
million) secured demand loan facility. The new credit facility would include
bank loans, letters of credit and indemnity arrangements and would be secured
by all the assets of Comstock Canada and would be guaranteed by the Company.
The new credit facility would replace an expired demand secured facility, also
guaranteed by the Company, under which the lender has permitted Comstock Canada
to continue to borrow subject to certain collateral requirements. At August 31,
1994, Comstock Canada had no outstanding bank loans. There can be no assurance
that Comstock Canada will obtain a new credit facility or, if so, the amount of
any such facility or whether the lender will continue to grant credit to
Comstock Canada without a new definitive credit facility in place.
In June 1994, a number of the Company's U.K. subsidiaries entered into a
demand credit facility with a U.K. bank for an aggregate credit line of
(Pounds)14.1 million (approximately U.S. $21.7 million). The credit facility
consists of the following components with the individual credit lines as
indicated: an overdraft line of up to (Pounds)7.0 million (approximately U.S.
$10.7 million), a facility for the issuance of guarantees, bonds and
indemnities of up to (Pounds)7.4 million (approximately U.S. $11.4 million) and
other credit facilities of up to (Pounds)0.75 million (approximately U.S. $1.2
million). The overdraft facility is secured by substantially all of the assets
of the Company's principal U.K. subsidiaries. The overdraft facility provides
for interest at the U.K. bank reference rate (5 1/2% as of June 1994) plus 3%.
This credit facility will expire in December 1994.
JWS, a subsidiary of the Company carried in "Net assets held for sale" in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, had two revolving credit
agreements each of which permitted unsecured borrowings of up to $10.0 million
with interest rates equal to the prime rate (7 1/4% at June 30, 1994). Both
agreements expired on April 30, 1994 and the borrowings thereunder have been
permitted by the lenders to remain outstanding. JWS is currently negotiating
new revolving credit agreements. As of June 30, 1993, JWS had equal borrowings
under each agreement aggregating $4.8 million. These borrowings are reflected
as current liabilities in the condensed balance sheet of "Net assets held for
sale" which is presented in Note E to the condensed consolidated financial
statements.
The Company's mechanical/electrical services business does not require
significant commitments for capital expenditures.
On December 22, 1993, JWS, the New York State Consumer Protection Board,
Nassau County, certain other governmental bodies and a consumer advocate group
entered into an agreement that ended several regulatory and legal proceedings
involving JWS which are referred to above and in Note H to the condensed
21
<PAGE>
consolidated financial statements. This agreement was approved by the New York
State Public Service Commission (the "PSC") on February 2, 1994. The agreement
provides for, among other things, a three year moratorium on general rates
charged by JWS, resolution of economic issues raised by the PSC arising from
its 1992 audit of JWS, settlement of related litigation and the dismissal of an
action brought against JWS by Nassau County of the State of New York alleging
violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and common
law fraud. JWS, in consideration of avoided litigation and other costs
associated with the proceedings, also agreed to make payments over the period
January 1994 through December 1996 totaling $11.7 million to customers in
Nassau and Queens Counties in the State of New York. The agreement also
provides that JWS will use its best efforts to bring about the separation of
Jamaica Water Securities Corp., a subsidiary of the Company which holds
substantially all the common stock of JWS, from the Company.
At June 30, 1993, the Company and a wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary
("Defender") had letters of credit outstanding totaling $36.4 million which in
effect secure their workers' compensation, automobile and general liability
insurance obligations. The letters of credit were intended to serve as
collateral for the obligations of Defender to reimburse the Company's unrelated
insurance carriers for claims paid with respect to certain years' insurance
programs. A total of $34.9 million of such letters of credit expire in December
1994 and $1.5 million of such letters of credit expire in February 1995. Since
October 1992 neither the Company nor Defender has been able to obtain
additional letters of credit to secure their insurance obligations and, as a
result, have been required to make cash collateral deposits to an unrelated
third party insurance company to secure those types of obligations. The
deposits totaled $14.7 million and $7.7 million as of June 30, 1993 and
December 31, 1992, respectively, and are included under the caption
"Miscellaneous" in Other Assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheets. The need to provide cash collateral has adversely affected the
Company's cash flow.
The letters of credit, described above, will be drawn upon by the unrelated
insurance carriers and the Company's obligations to Defender which were pledged
as collateral to the banks issuing such letters of credit have been impaired in
the Chapter 11 proceeding as well as any related Company obligations to those
banks. Beginning in February 1994, Defender ceased making payments for the
amounts owed to the unrelated insurance carriers, which obligations are in
effect secured by the letters of credit, and the Company's insurance carriers
have commenced partial draw downs against certain of the letters of credit.
Approximately $7 million has been drawn down against these letters of credit
through September 30, 1994.
In 1993 the Company's French and Belgian information services subsidiaries
filed petitions in their respective countries seeking relief from their
creditors. The French and Belgian subsidiaries have outstanding unsecured
credit facilities guaranteed by the Company which aggregate approximately $5.9
million. Such amount was provided for as a loss in the fourth quarter of 1992.
The Company has not paid dividends on its preferred stock since September
1992. Cumulative unpaid dividends through December 31, 1993 aggregate $2.3
million.
The Company has substantial net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL") for U.S.
Federal income tax purposes. If the Company exchanges its existing indebtedness
for newly issued equity for debt as contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization,
a significant portion of the NOL may not be available to reduce future U.S.
taxable income. Additionally, due to recent changes in the U.S. Federal income
tax laws, the timing of any such reorganization could further impact and reduce
the amount of the NOL (See Note H).
In September 1992, the PSC issued an order that resulted in the suspension of
dividend payments to the Company by JWS for the last two quarters of 1992 and
for the year ended December 31, 1993. Dividends paid by JWS in 1992 and 1991
amounted to $1.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively. As a result of the
settlement agreement described above (See "Discontinued Operations"), JWS
recommenced dividend payments in 1994.

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits" (SFAS 112) which the Company adopted effective January 1, 1994. The
estimated present value of the Companys accumulated post-employment benefit
obligations under SFAS 112 is $2.1 million as of January 1, 1994, which
includes obligations for short-term disability and employee severance benefits.
