Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 1997
(Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed financial statements included
herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted,
although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading.
Effective June 30, 1995, the Company sold substantially all of the
assets of Century Acceptance Corporation ("Century"), its only
operating subsidiary. Since the date of the sale of Century, the
Company has had no ongoing operations. As a result, the Company
has changed its basis of accounting from going concern basis to
liquidation basis.
On September 12, 1996, the Company's stockholders approved a Plan
of Dissolution and Liquidation (the "Plan of Liquidation") which
the Company's Board of Directors submitted for stockholder approval
at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders. In connection with
the Plan of Liquidation, the officers and directors of CenCor are
authorized to (I) dissolve CenCor, including the execution and
filing of a Certificate of Dissolution with the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware, (ii) wind up CenCor's affairs, including
satisfaction of all liabilities and long-term debt of CenCor and
(iii) liquidate CenCor's assets on a pro rata basis in accordance
with the respective interests of its common stockholders. CenCor
is expected to be fully liquidated by October 1999.
Generally accepted accounting principles require the adjustment of
assets and liabilities to estimated fair value under the
liquidation basis of accounting. Accordingly, the statement of net
assets in liquidation at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996
reflects assets and liabilities on this basis. Adjustments for
changes in estimated liquidation value are recognized currently.
Estimated costs of liquidation have not been provided since such
costs are not able to be estimated.
<PAGE>
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles under the liquidation
basis of accounting requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.
These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 1996.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash, money market accounts, and
short-term government or government agency instruments.
Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating the liquidation value of its assets and liabilities:
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amount reported in
the statement of net assets in liquidation for cash and cash
equivalents approximates their fair value.
Concorde Career Colleges, Inc. ("Concorde") Securities: Other
assets at December 31, 1996 include the fair value of CenCor's
investments in Concorde which is based upon the terms of repayment
as defined in the December 30, 1996 agreement (the "Fourth
Amendment") with Concorde. See Note 3.
Other Assets: The fair value of the Company's other assets,
excluding CenCor's investment in Concorde, is estimated using
discounted cash flow analysis, based on an estimated discount rate
commensurate with the associated risks.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities: The carrying amount
reported in the statement of net assets in liquidation for accounts
payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value.
Income Tax Payable: The carrying amount reported in the
statement of net assets in liquidation approximates the fair value
of taxes currently payable.
Long-Term Debt: The fair value of the Company's long-term
debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the
Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of
borrowing arrangements (10% at March 31, 1997 and December 31,
1996). The fair value reflects a conversion of the convertible
notes in accordance with the bankruptcy plan (see Note 4).
<PAGE>
2. Litigation and Contingencies
Century was a defendant, along with a number of other consumer
finance companies, in two class action lawsuits in the State of
Alabama. The suits were filed by certain alleged borrowers of the
defendant creditor/lenders and assert various violations. While
Century denied the allegations, Century settled the claims during
1996 in order to avoid the time, expense, and uncertainty of
litigation. The settlement required Century to pay the class-
action plaintiffs $295,000, which included certain administrative
costs of the settlement of the claims.
3. Other Assets
At December 31, 1996, the Company held a junior secured debenture
(the "Debenture") of Concorde Career Colleges, Inc. ("Concorde") in
the principal amount of approximately $2.4 million and 260,385
shares of Concorde's cumulative preferred stock (the "Preferred
Stock"). Further, the Company held an unsecured debt of Concorde
in the principal amount of approximately $190,000 (the "Unsecured
Debt").
The Debenture, which was to have matured on July 31, 1997, called
for principal and interest payments commencing June 30, 1996 based
on a 10-year amortization schedule. Interest on the Debenture
compounded and accrued quarterly at a variable rate not to exceed
12%. The Debenture further called for an additional contingent
payment at the maturity of the Debenture in an amount equal to 25%
of the amount by which the "market capitalization" of Concorde
exceeded $3.5 million. The Preferred Stock, $.10 par value, had a
per share liquidation preference of $10.00 per share. Cumulative
quarterly dividends accrued at a rate equal to 73% of the then
current interest rate on the Debenture. Dividends were to have
accrued until such time as the Debenture was paid in full. While
Concorde could redeem the Preferred Stock in whole or in part at
liquidation value plus accrued cumulative dividends, the Preferred
Stock did not provide for mandatory redemption.
<PAGE>
On December 30, 1996, CenCor and Concorde amended the
Restructuring, Security and Guaranty Agreement (the "Fourth
Amendment") between the parties to facilitate the early redemption
of the Preferred Stock and payment in full of all of the
obligations of Concorde to CenCor. The Fourth Amendment provided
that if CenCor received a "repayment price" of approximately $4.8
million prior to February 28, 1997, inclusive of any Preferred
Stock redemption payments and debt service payments on the
Debenture subsequent to September 30, 1996, that the Debenture and
the Unsecured Debt would be retired and the Preferred Stock
redeemed in full.
In February 1997, CenCor retired in full of all of Concorde's debt
obligations to CenCor and redeemed in full of all of the remaining
shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the
Fourth Amendment. In exchange, CenCor agreed to release Concorde
from all liabilities and obligations, except its continuing
obligation to convey written-off receivables in connection with
discharged interest, as described below.
During 1996, CenCor received $452,498 from Concorde in redemption
of 39,615 shares of Preferred Stock and $411,890 in payments from
Concorde on the Debenture.
In 1993 and 1994, Concorde agreed to assign certain charged-off
receivables to CenCor in full payment of the accrued interest due
on the Junior Secured Debenture through December 31, 1993 and 1994,
respectively. The receivables, which consist of account and notes
receivable from students who attended schools operated by Concorde
or its subsidiaries, were assigned to CenCor without recourse with
CenCor assuming all risk of non-payment of the receivables. The
agreement with Concorde grants CenCor limited rights of
substitution until such time as it collects full payment of the
accrued interest, exclusive of out-of-pocket collection fees and
expenses paid to third parties. CenCor has engaged a collection
agent to pursue recovery of such receivables assigned to the
Company. As of March 31, 1997, CenCor has collected approximately
$783,000 of the total $1,057,000 discharged interest due from the
charged-off receivables.
In addition, an escrow account was established in accordance with
the provisions of the agreement pertaining to the sale of Century's
assets. Such amount, including accrued interest ($5,312,000 and
$5,277,000 at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively),
is included in other assets. The escrow was established in order
to secure certain indemnification obligations of Century and CenCor
to the buyer that run through July 1, 1998. Management believes
that any potential liability pertaining to these obligations would
be immaterial to the accompanying financial statements.
4. Long-Term Debt
Pursuant to a 1993 plan of reorganization, CenCor's noteholders
received the following securities for each $1,000 aggregate amount
of principal and accrued but unpaid interest at December 31, 1992:
i. $600 principal amount of non-interest bearing Non-
Convertible Notes
ii. $400 principal amount of non-interest bearing Convertible
Notes
iii. 5.2817 shares of CenCor common stock, par value of $1 per
share
<PAGE>
The Non-Convertible Notes are non-interest bearing and will mature
on July 1, 1999. On August 19, 1996, CenCor offered to retire
all of its outstanding Non-Convertible Notes due July 1, 1999 at a
cash price equal to 74% of their principal amount. Prior to the
offer, the principal balance of the Non-Convertible Notes was
$17,174,656. CenCor purchased and retired outstanding Non-
Convertible Notes in the principal amount of $9,965,425 as of the
November 18, 1996 offer expiration date at a cost of $7,374,415.
The fair value of the non-tendered Non-Convertible Notes was
$5,818,000 and $5,680,770 at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996
respectively.
On December 31, 1995, CenCor had outstanding non-interest bearing
convertible notes due July 1, 1999 (the "Convertible Notes") in the
principal amount of $11,449,771. Effective April 1, 1996, CenCor
converted these Convertible Notes into shares of CenCor's common
stock at a ratio of one share of common stock for each $20
principal amount of Convertible Notes. As a result of this
conversion, the holders of the Convertible Notes are entitled to be
issued 572,554 shares of CenCor common stock upon surrender of
their Convertible Notes. As of April 15,1997, 543,357 shares have
been issued and are outstanding as a result of the surrender of
Convertible Notes. The conversion of these notes in satisfaction
of $11,449,771 principal amount of the obligation is reflected in
the financial statements and the number of outstanding shares at
March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996.
5. Income Taxes
The Company's 1990, 1991 and 1992 federal income tax returns have
been examined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS has
proposed adjustments to increase taxable income in 1991 which the
Company is in the process of appealing. Management believes that
the ultimate disposition of the IRS examination will not have a
material effect on the financial position of the Company.
6. Per Share Information
Net assets in liquidation per common share was computed by dividing
net assets in liquidation by the outstanding shares of common stock
at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.
<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Condition
Sale of Century
Effective June 30, 1995, Century consummated the sale of its
consumer finance business to Fidelity Acceptance Corporation, a
subsidiary of the Bank of Boston Corporation.
Under the terms of the sale, Century received $128.7 million
for substantially all of its assets. In accordance with the
provisions of the sales agreement, $5 million of the sale proceeds
were placed in escrow to secure certain indemnification obligations
of the Company that expire on July 1, 1998. The buyer has made one
claim for $40,000 against the escrow and has notified the Company
of other claims which may be asserted against the escrow balance.
Management does not believe the amount of the other claims, if any,
will be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Plan of Liquidation
With the sale of its consumer finance business, CenCor's
business purpose no longer exists. For that reason, CenCor's Board
of Directors adopted a resolution on January 22, 1996 that CenCor
be liquidated and that the Plan of Liquidation be submitted to the
stockholders for approval. The Company's Stockholders approved the
Plan of Liquidation at the Company's annual meeting of Stockholders
held on September 12, 1996 and a Certificate of Dissolution was
subsequently filed with the State of Delaware.
<PAGE>
Under Delaware law, CenCor will continue as a corporate
entity for three years after the effective date of the dissolution
(October 1, 1996) or for such longer period as the Delaware Court
of Chancery directs in its own discretion, for the purpose of
prosecuting and defending suits by or against CenCor and winding up
the business and affairs of CenCor, but not for the purpose of
continuing the business of CenCor.
The Plan of Liquidation provides that the implementation of
the plan is intended to be completed by October 1, 1999. During
this three year period, CenCor will not engage in any business
activities, except for preserving the value of its assets,
adjusting and winding up its business and affairs, and distributing
its assets in accordance with the Plan of Liquidation. CenCor's
debts and liabilities, whether fixed, conditioned or contingent,
will either be paid as they become due or provided for.
At such time as the Board has determined that all claims and
liabilities have been identified and paid or provided for, which
CenCor does not expect to occur prior to 1999, CenCor will
distribute in one or a series of distributions, at any time, or
from time to time as the Board, in its discretion may determine,
all funds resulting from CenCor's liquidation to the stockholders
in accordance with the respective rights of each. The
proportionate interests of the respective stockholders in the
assets of CenCor would be fixed on the basis of their ownership of
the outstanding shares of CenCor on a record date to be determined
by the Board.
During the period of liquidation, CenCor's directors and officers
are authorized to implement and carry out the provisions of the
Plan of Liquidation and will receive compensation for their
services.
Assuming CenCor had fully liquidated and distributed its
assets by March 31, 1997 and assuming further that the Company's
actual realizable value of its assets and liabilities is identical
to the Company's estimated realized value of these items, CenCor's
stockholders would have received $17,457,000 in distributions or
approximately $11.73 per share, less costs to liquidate. The
actual amount to be received upon complete liquidation may be
adversely affected by claims arising from the indemnification
obligations resulting from the sale of Century's assets,
unanticipated tax liabilities, or other unforeseen factors.
<PAGE>
Conversion of Convertible Notes and Retired Stock
On December 31, 1995, CenCor had outstanding non-interest
bearing convertible notes due July 1, 1999 (the "Convertible
Notes") in the principal amount of $11,449,771. Effective April 1,
1996, CenCor converted these Convertible Notes into shares of
CenCor's common stock at a ratio of one share of common stock for
each $20 principal amount of Convertible Notes. As a result of
this conversion, the holders of the Convertible Notes are entitled
to be issued 572,554 shares of CenCor common stock upon surrender
of their Convertible Notes. As of April 15, 1997, 543,357 shares
have been issued and are outstanding as a result of the surrender
of Convertible Notes.
Long - Term Debt
On August 19, 1996 CenCor offered to redeem all of its
outstanding Non-Convertible Notes due July 1, 1999 at a cash price
equal to 74% of their principal amount. Prior to the offer, the
principal balance of the Non-Convertible Notes was $17,174,656.
CenCor redeemed outstanding Non-Convertible Notes in the principal
amount of $9,965,425 as of the November 18, 1996 offer expiration
date at a cost of $7,374,415. The Non-Convertible Notes not
tendered by the noteholders remain outstanding.
Concorde Career Colleges, Inc. Agreements
At December 31, 1996, the Company held a junior secured
debenture (the "Debenture") of Concorde Career Colleges, Inc.
("Concorde") in the principal amount of approximately $2.4 million
and 260,385 shares of Concorde's cumulative preferred stock (the
"Preferred Stock"). Further, the Company held an unsecured debt of
Concorde in the principal amount of approximately $190,000 (the
"Unsecured Debt").
<PAGE>
The Debenture, which was to mature on July 31, 1997, called
for principal and interest payments commencing June 30, 1996 based
on a 10-year amortization schedule. Interest on the Debenture
compounded and accrued quarterly at a variable rate not to exceed
12%. The Debenture further called for an additional contingent
payment at the maturity of the Debenture in an amount equal to 25%
of the amount by which the "market capitalization" of Concorde
exceeded $3.5 million. The Preferred Stock, $.10 par value, had a
per share liquidation preference of $10.00 per share. Cumulative
quarterly dividends accrued at a rate equal to 73% of the then
current interest rate on the Debenture. Dividends were to have
accrued until such time as the Debenture was paid in full. While
Concorde could redeem the Preferred Stock in whole or in part at
liquidation value plus accrued cumulative dividends, the Preferred
Stock did not provide for mandatory redemption.
On December 30, 1996, CenCor and Concorde amended the
Restructuring, Security and Guaranty Agreement (the "Fourth
Amendment") between the parties to facilitate the early redemption
of the Preferred Stock and payment in full of all of the
obligations of Concorde to CenCor. The Fourth Amendment provided
that if CenCor received a "repayment price" of approximately $4.8
million prior to February 28, 1997, inclusive of any Preferred
Stock redemption payments and debt service payments on the
Debenture subsequent to September 30, 1996, that the Debenture and
the Unsecured Debt would be retired and the Preferred Stock
redeemed in full.
In February 1997, CenCor retired in full of all of Concorde's
debt obligations to CenCor and redeemed in full of all of the
remaining shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of
the Fourth Amendment. In exchange, CenCor agreed to release
Concorde from all liabilities and obligations, except its
continuing obligation to convey written-off receivables in
connection with discharged interest, as described below.
During 1996, CenCor received $452,498 from Concorde in
redemption of 39,615 shares of Preferred Stock and $411,890 in
payments from Concorde on the Debenture.
<PAGE>
In 1993 and 1994, Concorde agreed to assign certain charged-
off receivables to CenCor in full payment of the accrued interest
due on the Junior Secured Debenture through December 31, 1993 and
1994, respectively. The receivables, which consist of account and
notes receivable from students who attended schools operated by
Concorde or its subsidiaries, were assigned to CenCor without
recourse with CenCor assuming all risk of non-payment of the
receivables. The agreement with Concorde grants CenCor limited
rights of substitution until such time as it collects full payment
of the accrued interest, exclusive of out-of-pocket collection fees
and expenses paid to third parties. CenCor has engaged a
collection agent to pursue recovery of such receivables assigned to
the Company. As of March 31, 1997, CenCor has collected
approximately $783,000 of the total $1,057,000 discharged interest
due from the charged-off receivables.
Assets and Liabilities Following Sale of Century Using Liquidation
Accounting
The Company's assets consist primarily of cash and cash
equivalents, certain previously charged-off receivables received in
payment of accrued interest on the Debenture, and the escrow
account established to secure the indemnification obligations of
the Company to the buyer of the consumer finance business.
The Company's remaining liabilities consist primarily of the
amounts due to the holders of its non-tendered Non-Convertible
Notes, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities, including
accrued income taxes. As a result of being in the process of
liquidation, the Company is required to adopt the liquidation basis
of accounting. Generally accepted accounting principles require
the adjustment of assets and liabilities to estimated fair value
under the liquidation basis of accounting. For information
concerning the estimated fair values given these items by the
Company and the methods and assumptions used to arrive at such
values, see the Company's Financial Statements and the notes
thereto.
Results of Operations
During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company's
sources of income consisted mostly of investment income and
collections from the Concorde charged-off receivables that the
Company accepted in exchange for accrued interest on the Debenture.
<PAGE>
Results of Operations (continued)
The Company's expenses during the three months ended March
31, 1997 consisted mainly of salaries, accretion of interest on the
Company's long-term debt, professional and consulting fees, and
other liquidating expenses.
Activities During Liquidation Period
The Company's activities during the period of liquidation will
focus on the collection of various amounts owed to it, including
the previously charged-off Concorde receivables received in payment
of accrued interest. The Company will also closely monitor claims
arising from indemnification obligations to the buyer of Century in
order to maximize the value of the escrow fund established as a
result of the sale. Until the Company's long-term debt becomes
payable and distributions are made to stockholders, management
expects to invest the available proceeds from the sale of Century
and the Company's other cash in short-term government or government
agency instruments.
The Company's expenses during the period of liquidation are
expected to consist mostly of salaries, professional fees,
stockholder communication expenses, income taxes and other
liquidating expenses.
The Company will be required to satisfy the balance of the
non-tendered Non-Convertible Notes together with all other
liabilities prior to any distribution on its outstanding common
stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Obligations
The Company has no significant obligations for capital
purchases.
Defaults on Long-Term Debt
The Company believes that it is in compliance with all
covenants and terms under the indenture for the Non-Convertible
Notes.
<PAGE>
Internal Revenue Service Examination and Potential California Sales
Tax Assessment
The Company's 1990, 1991, and 1992 federal income tax returns
have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). The
IRS has proposed adjustments to increase taxable income in 1991
which the Company is in the process of appealing. Management
believes that an adequate reserve has been provided at March 31,
1997 relating to these proposed adjustments and therefore the
ultimate disposition of the IRS examination will not have a
material effect on the financial position of the Company
Charter Equipment Leasing Corp. ("Charter"), a former
subsidiary of CenCor, sold substantially all of its assets in 1992
and dissolved in 1994. In connection with the sale of Charter's
assets, the California Board of Equalization (the "Board of
Equalization") issued a Notice of Determination in April 1996
(revising a Notice of Determination previously issued in January
1996) for sales tax, interest and penalties in the amount of
$5,362. In March 1997, the Company settled the sales tax
assessment for approximately $6,000. However, the Board of
Equalization may still attempt to assert a claim against the buyer
of Charter's assets based upon successor liability for sales taxes
from the 1992 transaction. If the buyer is assessed sales taxes,
the buyer may attempt to assert an indemnification claim against
CenCor.
