THE SAN FRANCISCO COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Organization
The San Francisco Company (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation and
a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956.
Bank of San Francisco (the "Bank"), a state chartered bank, was organized as a
California banking corporation in 1978 and became a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company through a reorganization in 1982.
Note 2 - Principles of Consolidation and Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the
Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q
Quarterly Report and Articles 9 and 10 of Regulation S-X, and, therefore, do not
include all the information and footnotes necessary to present the consolidated
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The data as of September 30, 1995, and for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 are unaudited, but in the opinion of
management, reflect all accruals and adjustments of a normally recurring nature
necessary for fair presentation of the Company's consolidated financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows. Certain amounts in the 1994
consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparative
purposes. The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months
ending September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the entire year of 1995. This report should be read in conjunction
with the Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the
Company, the Bank, the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, Bank of San Francisco
Realty Investors ("BSFRI"), and the Bank's wholly owned limited partnership,
Bank of San Francisco Building Company ("BSFBC"). All material intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Note 3 - Income(Loss) Per Common Share
Income(loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding divided into net income(loss).
Note 4 - Dividend Restrictions
The Company is subject to dividend restrictions under the Delaware
General Corporation Law and regulations and policies of the Federal Reserve Bank
of San Francisco (the "FRB" ). The Company's Series B Preferred Shares and
Series D Preferred Shares (as defined under "Item 2 - Change in Securities")
participate equally, share for share, in cash dividends paid on the Class A
Common Shares in addition to receiving the cash dividends to which they are
entitled. The Board of Directors does not intend to declare dividends on any
class of the Company's stock.

Note 5 - Adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 114
Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 114 (FAS 114), Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan, as amended by FAS 118 (collectively referred to as FAS 114). FAS 114
addresses the accounting treatment of certain impaired loans and amends FASB
Statements No. 5 and 15. However, these statements do not address the overall
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and do not apply to large groups of
smaller-balance homogeneous loans unless they have been involved in a
restructuring. These statements can only be applied prospectively.
A loan within the scope of FAS 114 is considered impaired when, based
on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be
unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement, including scheduled interest payments. For a loan that has been
restructured, the contractual terms of the loan agreement refer to the
contractual terms specified by the original loan agreement, not the contractual
terms specified by the restructuring agreement.
For loans covered by FAS 114, the Company makes an assessment for
impairment when and while such loans are adversely classified. When a loan with
unique risk characteristics has been identified as being impaired, the amount of
impairment will be measured by the Company using either the estimated discounted
cash flows, the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent
and secured by real estate, or the observable market value of the loan. In cases
where the loan is collateral dependent and secured by real estate, the current
fair value of the collateral, reduced by costs to sell will be used.
Additionally, some impaired loans have risk characteristics similar to other
impaired loans and can be aggregated for the purpose of measuring impairment
using historical loss factors as a means of measurement.
If the measurement of the impaired loan is less than the recorded
investment in the loan (including accrued interest, net deferred loan fees or
costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized by creating
or adjusting an existing allocation of the allowance for loan losses. FAS 114
does not change the timing of charge-off of loans to reflect the amount
ultimately expected to be collected.
Generally, the Company uses either the cash or cost recovery method to
record cash receipts on impaired loans. Under the cash method, contractual
interest is credited to interest income when received. This method is used when
the ultimate collectibility of the total principal is not in doubt. Under the
cost recovery method, all payments received are applied to principal. Loans on
the cost recovery method may be changed to the cash method when the application
of the cash payments has reduced the principal balance to a level where
collection of the remaining recorded investment is no longer in doubt.
Not all impaired loans are on non-accrual status. Generally, a loan is
placed on non-accrual status upon becoming 90 days past due as to interest or
principal (unless both well secured and in the process of collection), or when
the full timely collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain. For
example, the Company may not place a loan on non-accrual that has been
identified as impaired if that loan is performing under its contractual terms
and the Bank believes that full repayment is likely, but the fair value of the
underlying collateral is not sufficient to cover the principal and interest. See

OF OPERATIONS -- CLASSIFIED ASSETS AND IMPAIRED LOANS.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The Company is a one-bank holding company incorporated in Delaware and
registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The principal activity of
the Company is to serve as the holding company for Bank of San Francisco, a
California state chartered bank organized in 1978, with deposits insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's Bank Insurance Fund. The information set
forth in this report, including unaudited interim financial statements and
related data, relates primarily to the Bank.
The Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, is
listed on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX). On April 10, 1995, the AMEX
suspended trading of the Company's Class A Common Stock as a result of the
Company no longer meeting certain AMEX listing requirements. On November 1,
1995, the Company informed the AMEX that it did not object to the removal of its
Class A Common Stock from listing and registrations on the AMEX, and on November
2, 1995, the AMEX applied to the Securities and Exchange Commission for
permission to delist the Company's Class A Common Stock.
The Company recorded net income of $124,000 or $0.02 per common share
and $312,000, or $0.05 per common share, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995, respectively, compared to a net loss of $5.6 million, or
$1.16 per common share and $14.8 million, or $6.83 per common share,
respectively, for the same periods in 1994. The improvement in the Company's
third quarter 1995 net operating results of $5.7 million was primarily due to
lower expenses related to real estate operations of $2.9 million compared to
$3.1 million for the same period in 1994, and reduction of total operating costs
of $2.8 million in third quarter 1995 compared to the same period in 1994
partially offset by a decrease in net interest income after provision for loan
losses of $290,000. The improvement in the Company's nine months 1995 net
operating results of $15.2 million was primarily due to income related to real
estate operations of $742,000 compared to a net cost of $6.8 million for the
same period in 1994, reduction in total operating costs of $8.0 million, higher
non-interest income of $611,000, and from gain on sale of other assets and other
income of $259,000 compared to losses of $281,000 in first nine months of 1995
compared to the same period in 1994.
The Company's total non-interest expenses declined by $5.7 million in
the third quarter of 1995 and $15.5 million in the first nine months of 1995
compared to the same periods in 1994 as a result of net gains on sale of real
estate owned which had previously been written down, and declines in costs of
real estate operations, staff reductions, reductions in professional service and
litigation settlement costs, and operating expense controls.
At September 30, 1995, total assets were $119.6 million, a decline of
$37.2 million, or 24% from $156.8 million at December 31, 1994. Total loans were
$69.4 million, a decrease of $37.1 million, or 35% from the $106.5 million at
December 31, 1994. Total deposits were $108.5 million at September 30, 1995, a
decline of $38.6 million or 26%, compared to $147.1 million at December 31,
1994.
During the third quarter of 1995, the Bank acquired 100% of the limited
partnership interest in BSFBC increasing its consolidated ownership to 100% from
approximately 35.7%. The purchase price was $3.3 million. As a result of the
acquisition, the September 30, 1995 Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition the Company include the assets and liabilities of BSFBC, and the
Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended September 30,
1995 include the operating result of BSFBC as of the date of purchase.

REGULATORY DIRECTIVES AND ORDERS
CAPITAL ORDERS
On March 24, 1995, the State Banking Department (the "SBD")
issued an order for the Bank to increase its capital (the "Capital Order"). The
Capital Order required that the Bank increase its capital by $4.2 million on or
before April 10, 1995 and by a minimum of $10.5 million (including the first of
$4.2 million) on or before June 30, 1995. The additional capital must be at
least equal to the amount of capital necessary to increase the shareholder's
equity to not less than 7.0% of total tangible assets as of February 28, 1995.
During the second quarter 1995, the Company received contributions of $4.3
million in capital from its major shareholder. On April 24, 1995, the Company
contributed $4.2 million which included $400,000 from other funds of the
Company, in capital to the Bank to meet the first requirement of the Capital
Order. In addition, on June 30, 1995, the Company contributed $500,000 to the
Bank as a partial payment on the additional requirement of the Capital Order.
The Company and the Bank are seeking to raise an additional $5.8 million to meet
the minimum capital requirement of the Capital Order and Orders as described
below. No assurances have been given that the SBD will continue to refrain from
taking action against the Bank to enforce its Capital Order.
On March 28, 1995, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
"FDIC") issued a Notification of Capital Category ("Notification") in accordance
with its Prompt Corrective Action regulations. The FDIC had determined that the
Bank was Critically Undercapitalized. As of September 30, 1995, with the second
quarter infusion of capital, the Bank is considered adequately capitalized for
the purposes of the industry standard capital categories and the FDIC has so
notified the Bank. However, the Bank remains below the 7% leverage capital ratio
required by the Orders as described below.
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD WRITTEN AGREEMENT
On December 16, 1994, the Company and the FRB entered into a Written
Agreement (the "Agreement") that prohibits the Company, without prior approval
of the FRB, from: (a) paying any cash dividends to its shareholders; (b)
directly or indirectly, acquiring or selling any interest in any entity, line of
business, problem or other assets; (c) executing any new employment, service, or
severance contracts, or renewing or modifying any existing contracts with any
executive officer; (d) engaging in any transactions with the Bank that exceeds
an aggregate of $20,000 per month; (e) engaging in any cash expenditures with
any individual or entity that exceeds $25,000 per month; (f) increasing fees
paid to any directors for attendance at board or committee meetings, or paying
any bonuses to any executive officers; (g) incurring any new debt or increasing
existing debt; and (h) repurchasing any outstanding stock of the Company. The
Agreement requires the Company to submit a progress report to the FRB on a
quarterly basis.
The Company was also required to submit to the FRB an acceptable
written plan to improve and maintain an adequate capital position, a
comprehensive business plan concerning current and proposed business activities,
a comprehensive operating budget for the Bank and the consolidated Company. In
addition, the Board of Directors was required to submit an acceptable written
plan designed to enhance their supervision of the operations and management of
the consolidated organization. The Company has filed all of the required
submissions with the FRB in accordance with the Agreement. The Company believes
that it is in compliance with the requirements of the Agreement.

CEASE AND DESIST ORDERS
On August 18, 1993, the Bank, without admitting or denying any alleged
charges, stipulated to Cease and Desist Orders (the "Orders") issued by the FDIC
and the SBD that became effective August 29, 1993 (the "Orders' Effective
Date"). The Orders directed, among other things, that the Bank: (a) achieve and
maintain a 7% leverage capital ratio on and after September 30, 1993; (b) pay no
dividends without the prior written consent of the FDIC and the California
Superintendent of Banks (the "Superintendent"); (c) reduce the $88.6 million in
assets classified "Substandard" or "Doubtful" as of November 30, 1992 (the date
of the then most recent full-scope FDIC and SBD Report of Examination of the
Bank (the "1992 Report")), to no more than $75.0 million by October 31, 1993,
with further reductions to no more than $60.0 million by December 31, 1993, no
more than $50.0 million by March 31, 1994 and no more than $40.0 million by
September 30, 1994; (d) have and retain management whose qualifications and
experience are commensurate with their duties and responsibilities to operate
the Bank in a safe and sound manner, notify the FDIC and the Superintendent at
least 30 days prior to adding or replacing any new director or senior executive
officer and comply with certain restrictions in compensation of senior executive
officers; (e) maintain an adequate reserve for loan losses; (f) not extend
additional credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who had a previous
loan from the Bank that was charged off or classified "Loss" in whole or in
part; (g) develop and implement a plan to reduce its concentrations of
construction and development loans; (h) not increase the amount of its brokered
deposits above the amount outstanding on the Order's Effective Date and submit a
written plan for eliminating reliance on brokered deposits; (i) adopt policies
to reduce the Bank's concentration of construction and land development loans,
reduce the Bank's dependency on brokered deposits and out of area deposits, and
to improve internal routines and controls; (j) reduce the Bank's volatile
liability dependency ratio to not more than 25% by December 31, 1993, and not
more than 15% by April 30, 1994; (k) eliminate or correct all violations of law
set out in the 1992 Report, and take all necessary steps to ensure future
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations; and (l) establish a
committee of three independent directors to monitor compliance with the Orders
and report to the FDIC and the Superintendent on a quarterly basis.
The findings of the FDIC and SBD at their recent examination which
began January 30, 1995 was that the Bank was not in compliance with substantial
requirements of the Orders. However, during the second and third quarter, the
Bank improved its asset quality, operating results, volatile liability
dependency, liquidity constraints and capital ratios. As of September 30, 1995,
the Bank did meet the industry-wide capital requirements but failed to meet the
7% leverage capital ratio imposed by the Orders. The Bank reduced its volatile
liability dependency ratio to below the requirement of the Order of 15% to 7.8%
as of September 30, 1995. Management believes that with the infusion of the
remainder of the capital of $5.8 million, the Bank will be in substantial
compliance with the requirements of the Orders. No assurances can be given that
such capital will be received.
In response to the Orders and the failure of the Bank to meet industry
wide capital requirements during the first quarter 1995, management submitted a
Capital Restoration Plan (the "Plan") during the first quarter 1995 to the FDIC
for approval. On May 4, 1995, the Bank filed a revised Plan with the FDIC to
reflect the current condition of the Bank. The FDIC has approved the Plan
subject to the infusion of additional capital. Subject to the risk associated
with the banking business generally, management believes that the Bank will be
able to take the general actions contemplated by such Plan. A number of the
restrictions imposed by the Orders will remain in effect until the Orders can be
officially lifted. Although management anticipates the FDIC and the SBD will
lift the Orders once the Bank demonstrates full compliance with the Orders, the
Bank's problem assets are resolved and it is deemed to be operating is a safe
and sound manner, no assurance can be given as to when all conditions precedent
to the lifting of the Orders will be fulfilled. The Company also is subject to
certain restrictions imposed
- 9 -
<PAGE> 12
by the FRB pursuant to the Agreement that may prevent the Company from taking
steps to establish new businesses (or new subsidiaries) at the Company level
until similar conditions precedent are fulfilled.
CAPITAL IMPAIRMENT ORDERS
The California Financial Code (the "Financial Code") requires the
Superintendent to order any bank whose contributed capital is impaired to
correct such impairment within 60 days of the date of his or her order. Under
Section 134(b) of the Financial Code, the "contributed capital," defined as all
shareholders' equity other than retained earnings, of a bank is deemed to be
impaired whenever such bank has deficit retained earnings in an amount exceeding
40% of such contributed capital. Under Section 662 of the Financial Code, the
Superintendent has the authority, in his or her discretion, to take certain
appropriate regulatory action with respect to a bank having impaired contributed
capital, including possible seizure of such bank's assets. A bank that has
deficit retained earnings may, subject to the approval of its shareholders and
of the Superintendent, readjust its accounts in a quasi-reorganization, which
may include eliminating its deficit retained earnings, under Section 663 of the
Financial Code. However, a bank that is not able to effect such a
quasi-reorganization or otherwise to correct an impairment of its contributed
capital within 60 days of an order to do so from the Superintendent must levy
and collect an assessment on its common shares pursuant to Section 423 of the
California Corporations Code.
A bank must levy such an assessment within 60 days of the
Superintendent's order; the assessment becomes a lien upon the shares assessed
from the time of service or publication of such notice of assessment. Within 60
days of the date on which the assessment becomes delinquent, a bank subject to
the Superintendent's order must sell or cause to be sold to the highest bidder
for cash as many shares of each delinquent holder of the assessed shares as may
be necessary to pay the assessment and charges thereon.
As of September 30, 1995, the Bank had contributed capital of $70.9
million and deficit retained earnings of $64.0 million, or approximately 90.3%
of contributed capital, within the meaning of Section 134(b) of the Financial
Code. Thus, under Section 134(b) of the Financial Code, the Bank's contributed
capital was impaired as of that date in the approximate amount of $35.6 million.
The Superintendent issued orders, most recently on August 4, 1995, to the Bank
to correct the impairment of its contributed capital within 60 days. The Bank
has not complied with these orders or the provisions of California law requiring
it to assess the shares of the Bank (which are all held by the Company) in order
to correct the impairment of the Bank's capital. As the sole shareholder of the
Bank, the Company (not the Company's shareholders) will receive any notices of
assessment issued by the Bank.
The Bank's capital impairment may be corrected through earnings, by
raising additional capital or by a quasi-reorganization, subject to the approval
of the SBD, in which the Bank's deficit retained earnings would be reduced or
eliminated by a corresponding reduction in the Bank's contributed capital. The
Bank is considering the possibility of ultimately obtaining approval of a
quasi-reorganization with the SBD. If the SBD refuses to grant permission for
such a quasi-reorganization, as of September 30, 1995, the Bank would have been
required to raise $89.1 million in new capital in order to correct its impaired
contributed capital (because the ratio of deficit retained earnings to
contributed capital may not exceed 40%, $2.50 of capital is required for every
dollar of impairment). In response to the August 4, 1995 order requiring the
Bank to correct its impaired capital within 60 days, the Bank notified the SBD
in writing that it did not believe it will be in a position to comply with the
order within 60 days, and requested the SBD's cooperation as the Company
implements its Plan and as the Company continues to consider the requirements
for a quasi-reorganization. It is the policy of the Superintendent not to grant
a quasi-reorganization unless a Bank can establish that (a) it has adequate
capital, (b) the problems that
- 10 -
<PAGE> 13
created past losses and the impairment of capital have been corrected and (c) it
is currently operating on a profitable basis and will continue to do so in the
future.
No assurance can be given that the Bank's capital condition will not
deteriorate further as a result of operating losses prior to a
quasi-reorganization, if any. In addition, because a quasi-reorganization
requires that the Bank reflect its assets and liabilities at market value at the
time of the reorganization, the Bank's capital position could be further
impacted as a result of such an adjustment in the market value of the Bank's
assets and liabilities. Finally, there can be no assurance that, following a
correction of the Bank's capital impairment, whether through a
quasi-reorganization or an infusion of sufficient capital, the Bank's capital
position will not continue to erode through future operating losses. As long as
the Bank's contributed capital is impaired, the Superintendent is authorized to
take possession of the property and business of the Bank, or to order the Bank
to levy an assessment on the shares of the Bank held by the Company sufficient
to correct the impairment. As the Company is the sole shareholder of the Bank,
the assessment would be made on the Company. The Company does not have the funds
to satisfy such an assessment. Management believes, however, that the
Superintendent has never exercised his bank takeover powers under Section 134
solely on the basis that a bank's capital is impaired under the standards set
forth in Section 134.
Management believes, although it cannot assure, that the Bank will be
able to so demonstrate at such time as the Bank's problem assets are
substantially resolved, that the Bank will be able to effect a
quasi-reorganization. Management also believes that with the recent capital
infusions, it is unlikely that the Superintendent would seek to take action
solely on the basis of impaired capital under the Section 134 definition. There
can be no assurance, however, that other circumstances such as insufficient
liquidity or further operating issues will not arise that would provide
incentive to the Superintendent to utilize the powers granted by Section 134.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME
The Company's net interest income decreased to $5.0 million from $5.9
million for the first nine months of 1995 from the same period in 1994,
respectively, a decline of $904,000 or 15%. The decrease was the result of
reductions in interest-earning assets partially offset by an increase in the
Bank's interest margin. Average net interest-earning assets declined by 18% and
average interest bearing liabilities decreased 12% for the first nine months of
1995 compared to the same period in 1994. The average interest margin increased
twelve (12) basis points from 4.97% for the first nine months of 1994, to 5.09%
for the first nine months of 1995 primarily as a result of a higher prime
interest rate in the first nine months of 1995 compared to the same period in
1994.
During the first nine months of 1995, average commercial loans were
lower and fees related to loans were lower than in the same period in 1994. For
the first nine months of 1995, average certificates of deposit were $49.4
million or 39% of total deposits and borrowings compared to $43.6 million or 24%
of total deposits and borrowings for the same period in 1994.
The Company's net interest income decreased to $1.6 million from $2.0
million for the third quarter of 1995 from the same period in 1994,
respectively, a decline of $431,000 or 22%. Average interest-earning assets
declined by 22% and average interest bearing liabilities decreased 28% for the
third quarter 1995 compared to the same period in 1994. The average interest
margin decreased forty (40) basis points from 5.56% for the third quarter 1994,
to 5.16% for the third quarter 1995 primarily as a
- 11 -
<PAGE> 14
result of lower yielding investment securities, and higher cost of funds for
deposits as a result of higher level of volatile deposits.
Because the Bank is asset interest rate sensitive, the Company
experienced a decline in its net interest income in the third quarter of 1995 as
a result of the decline in prime rate. Because the change in deposit interest
rates lag the change in loan interest rates, reductions in deposit costs are
expected to occur beginning in the fourth quarter of 1995 as a result of the
lower interest rate environment which began at the end of the second quarter
1995. In addition, management believes that a continuing decline in deposits and
loans during the fourth quarter of 1995 is likely. See "FINANCIAL CONDITION" for
additional discussion.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income increased $611,000, from $1.5 million for the first
nine months of 1994 to $2.1 million for the same period in 1995. The increase in
the Company's service charges and fees of $158,000, a 52% increase over the same
period in 1994, reflects the reduced frequency of fee waivers. The increase in
income(loss) on the sale of assets was attributable to no losses incurred in
first nine months of 1995 compared to a $180,000 loss on the redemption of
mutual funds and loss on sale of certain mortgage-back securities incurred in
the same period in 1994.
Non-interest income increased $327,000, from $235,000 for the third
quarter of 1994 to $562,000 for the same period in 1995. Other income was
$16,000 for the third quarter of 1995 compared to a loss of $303,000 as a result
of a non-recurring loss from investment in the BSFBC of $486,000. Stock option
commissions and fees increased $23,000, or 7% as a result of increased volume of
activities by holders of stock options. The increase in the Company's service
charges and fees of $52,000, a 63% increase over the same period in 1994,
reflects the reduced frequency of fee waivers.
The increase in stock option commissions during the third quarter of
1995 compared to the same period in 1994 is primarily related to the activity in
the stock market. In addition, the Bank's largest stock option clients are
high-tech companies. A decline in the stock market, particularly high-tech
stocks could significantly reduce the revenue related to stock options.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
OPERATING EXPENSES
The Company's operating expenses decreased by $8.0 million during the
first nine months of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994 primarily as a
result of staff reductions, occupancy cost reductions, reduction in the use and
cost of professional services, lower litigation settlement costs, continued
reductions to operating costs resulting from an expense control program, and,
generally, as a result of lower costs related to lower loan and deposit volumes.
Offsetting some of these reductions is an increase in data processing related
expenses resulting from the outsourcing of the Bank's check processing function.
The Company's operating expenses decreased by $2.8 million during the
third quarter of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994 primarily as a result
of reimbursement of certain legal and collection related costs, staff
reductions, reduction in occupancy costs, reduction in the use and cost of
professional services, and as a result of lower costs related to lower loan and
deposit volumes. The Bank expects professional service related costs to continue
to decline as legal and consulting related matters are reduced.

<PAGE> 15
NET INCOME(COST) OF REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS
During the first nine months of 1995, net income(cost) of real estate
operations improved by $7.6 million from a net cost of $6.8 million for the same
period in 1994 to net income of $742,000 in 1995. The improvement is attributed
to an increase in the Bank's net gain on sale of other real estate owned and
decreases in provisions for losses, totaling $1.2 million for the first nine
months of 1995, compared to provisions and loss on sale of other real estate
owned of $5.0 million for the first nine months of 1994. In part, the decrease
was due to a reduction in foreclosed properties and lower level of write-downs
required for existing properties.
The gain on sale of real estate owned recognized during the first nine
months of 1995 related to several properties that had been written down in
previous years. The Bank believes that additional recoveries may occur during
the fourth quarter of 1995.
During the third quarter net income(cost) of real estate operations
improved by $2.9 million from a net cost of $3.1 million for the second quarter
of 1994 to net cost of $219,000 for the same period in 1995. The decrease is
attributed to a decrease in the Bank's provision of loss on sale of other real
estate owned totaling $100,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995,
compared to provisions and loss on sale of other real estate owned of $2.7
million for the quarter ended September 30, 1994. The Bank expects that
continued reductions in non-performing assets will reduce the costs incurred for
managing and carrying the assets.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
LIQUIDITY
The Bank's liquid assets, which includes cash and short term
investments totaled $40.8 million, or 34% of total assets, at September 30, 1995
compared to $40.1 million, or 25.6% of total assets, at December 31, 1994. The
increase in the investments as a percentage of total assets was the result of
net reduction in loans of $37.1 million, real estate owned of $4.0 million, and
capital infusions of $4.7 million partially offset by a reduction in deposits of
$38.7 million and the purchase of the remaining BSFBC limited partnership
interest of $3.3 million during the first nine months of 1995.
As of September 30, 1995, the Bank had pledged loans enabling the Bank
to borrow up to $4.2 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco
(FHLB). The Bank drew on this lending facility during the first quarter of 1995.
The Bank repaid the FHLB borrowing during the second quarter of 1995. In the
future, long and short term borrowings from the FHLB may be used as an on-going
source of liquidity and funding.
The Bank's short-term line of credit at the discount window with the
Federal Reserve Bank was canceled during the first quarter of 1995 as a result
of the Notification from the FDIC regarding its capital category as of March 28,
1995. The Bank has loans pledged to the FRB totaling $4.6 million which provide
collateral to the FRB should the Bank be unable to meet its FRB cash letter
requirements of up to $2.2 million.
The Bank has a contingency funding plan which addresses possible
funding and liquidity problems. This plan provides for an early warning system
that monitors trends in the Bank's cash flow
- 13 -
<PAGE> 16
in addition to identifying sources of additional funds.
The Bank's brokered certificates of deposit declined to $3.7 million as
of September 30, 1995 from $12.6 million at December 31, 1994. The Bank's money
desk deposits increased to $28.9 million as of September 30, 1995 from $14.9
million at December 31, 1994.
During 1995 and 1994, because the Bank is the Company's primary asset
and the Bank is unable to distribute any dividends, the Company's principal
source of liquidity has been the repayment of loans and new capital from the
issuance of its capital stock.
CAPITAL
At September 30, 1995, the Company's shareholders' equity was $6.8
million, compared to $2.1 million at December 31, 1994, primarily as a result of
a contribution of $4.3 million in capital and net income of $312,000.
The Company and the Bank are subject to general regulations issued by
the FRB, FDIC, and SBD which require maintenance of certain levels of capital
and the Bank is under specific capital requirements as a result of the Orders
and the Capital Order. As of September 30, 1995, the Company was in compliance
with all federal industry capital requirements, but the Bank was not in
compliance with the minimum leverage ratio of 7% mandated by the Orders. The
increase in the Company and Bank's leverage ratio during the first half of 1995
was primarily the result of the capital infusion, from the nine months of
operational income, and the reduction in average assets.
The following table reflects both the Company's and the Bank's capital
ratios with respect to minimum capital requirements in effect as of September
30, 1995:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

Tier 1 risk-based capital 7.2 7.2 4.0 N/A
Total risk-based capital 9.0 9.0 8.0 N/A
</TABLE>
During the second quarter of 1995, the Company's majority shareholder
contributed $4.3 million in capital. The Company contributed $4.7 million of
capital to the Bank upon receipt of the $4.3 million.
INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
At September 30, 1995, the Company's investment securities, including
Fed funds sold, totaled $36.6 million, or 31% of total assets, compared to $28.7
million, or 18.3% of total assets, at December 31, 1994.
At September 30, 1995, investment securities held-to-maturity were
$623,000, compared to $9.2 million at December 31, 1994, and are carried at
amortized cost. At September 30, 1995, the Company held $5.1 million of
securities available-for-sale which have an unrealized gain of $26,000 that
included as a separate component of shareholder's equity. Investment securities
available-for-sale are accounted
- 14 -
<PAGE> 17
for at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as an adjustment to
equity and are not reflected in the current earnings of the Company. During the
second quarter of 1995, the Bank redeemed some of its shares of Federal Home
Loan Bank Stock at book value to reduce the total stock owned to the minimum
amount required under its borrowing facility.
Investment securities available-for-sale of $5.1 at September 30, 1995
consist of treasury securities and mutual fund investments. Investment
securities available-for-sale of $2.2 at December 31, 1994, consist primarily of
treasury securities.
The decrease in investment securities held-to-maturity of $8.6 million
resulted from the maturity of the investment securities. As of September 30,
1995, the investment securities held-to-maturity are the Federal Home Loan Bank
stock.
LOANS
During the first nine months of 1995, total loans decreased by $37.1
million, from $106.5 million at December 31, 1994 to $69.4 million at September
30, 1995. The reduction resulted primarily from loan repayments. The Bank
intends to reduce its exposure to loans collateralized by real estate which may
result in further reductions to the existing loan portfolio. The composition of
the Bank's loan portfolio at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 is
summarized as follows:
<TABLE>

==============================
</TABLE>
The classification of loans as of December 31, 1995 have been restated
to be consistent with the classification of the September 30, 1995 loans. The
loans have been reclassified to reflect the composition of the loan portfolio
based on the loans' underlying collateral.
Included in the loan portfolio are loans to facilitate the sale of the
Bank's other real estate owned and real estate investment properties. Typically,
these properties have been purchased from the Bank with certain minimum
financing terms. The terms vary on a case-by-case basis, but depend heavily on
the down payment and the financial strength of the borrower. The Bank's loans to
facilitate the sale of other real estate owned and real estate investment were
$16.9 million at September 30, 1995 compared to $23.6 million at December 31,
1994.
- 15 -
<PAGE> 18
CLASSIFIED ASSETS AND IMPAIRED LOANS
Classified assets include non-accrual loans, other real estate owned,
real estate investments and performing loans that exhibit credit quality
weaknesses. Certain loans identified as in-substance foreclosed are included in
other real estate owned. The table below outlines the Bank's classified assets
at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
September 30, December 31,
(Dollars in Thousands) 1995 1994

Non-accrual loans 8,734 9,377
Other real estate owned 5,973 10,021
Real estate investments 308 682
---------------------------
Total classified assets $ 34,061 $ 35,660
===========================
</TABLE>
Classified loans increased to $27.8 million as of September 30, 1995
compared to $25.0 million at December 31, 1994. The increase was primarily the
result of the adverse classification under a new loan grading system of two
loans with a total principal balance of $2.2 million. These loans were down
graded as a result of certain credit quality concerns. These loans are
performing under their contractual terms.
The Bank was required by the Orders to reduce certain classified assets
to no more than $40.0 million by September 30, 1994. See "Regulatory Directives
and Orders -- Cease and Desist Orders." At September 30, 1995, the Bank was in
compliance with the Orders.
Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted FAS 114 as amended by
FAS 118. The Company identified certain classified loans as impaired loans under
FAS 114. Of the recorded investment in impaired loans of $16.6 million at
September 30, 1995, the Company measured the impairment of $13.0 million using
the collateral value method and $3.6 million using the discounted cash flow
method. Total interest recognized on impaired loans during the first nine months
of 1995 was $818,000.
Further deterioration in the regional real estate market could increase
the amount of the Bank's classified and non-performing assets, and, in addition,
could have an adverse effect on the Bank's efforts to collect its non-performing
loans or otherwise liquidate its non-performing assets on terms that are
favorable to the Bank. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Bank will
not experience additional increases in the amount of its non-performing assets
or experience significant additional losses in attempting to collect the
non-performing loans or otherwise liquidate the non-performing assets which are
presently reflected on the Company's statement of financial condition. Moreover,
historically, the Bank has incurred substantial asset-carrying expenses, such as
maintaining and operating properties included within the Bank's other real
estate owned classification, and the Bank may continue to incur asset-carrying
expenses in connection with such loans and assets until its non-performing loans
and assets are collected or liquidated.
The Bank has discontinued evaluating the possible sale to a single
buyer of part or all of the problem assets in its loan, other real estate owned,
and real estate investment portfolios. The Bank is seeking to sell individual
assets to interested buyers.
- 16 -
<PAGE> 19
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
Non-performing assets are comprised of non-accrual loans, in-substance
foreclosed assets and real estate foreclosures. Non-performing assets were $14.7
million at September 30, 1995, down from $19.4 million at the end of 1994.
During the first nine months of 1995, the reduction of $4.7 million in
non-performing assets was primarily the result of OREO sales of $4.1 million,
and non-performing loan payments and charge-offs partially offset by new
non-accrual loans. Six new loans totaling $3.6 million were transferred to
non-accrual status, $1.7 million of non-accrual loans were charged off, and $2.5
million in non-accrual loans were paid off. The Bank recorded $1.3 million in
recoveries during the first nine months of 1995.
At September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, other real estate owned,
including in-substance foreclosed loans, was $6.0 million and $10.0 million,
respectively. In-substance foreclosed loans are those in which the borrower has
little or no equity in the collateral based on its fair value, the borrower has
effectively abandoned control of the collateral so that many of the risks and
rewards of ownership have been passed to the lender, and repayment of the loan
can only be expected from the operation or sale of the collateral. An
in-substance loan may be returned to a performing loan status if the existing
borrower can pay all uncollected interest or provide for a principal reduction
and can demonstrate the financial ability to maintain cash flow to support the
loan for the foreseeable future. At September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
in-substance foreclosed loans were $416,000 and $2.6 million, respectively. As
of September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, all other real estate owned (OREO)
and real estate investments held for development were identified as classified.
The Bank had no non-performing assets secured by subordinate deeds of
trust as of September 30, 1995. Restructured loans totaled $5.9 million and $6.3
million at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.
The following table provides information on all non-performing assets
at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994:

============================
Percentage of total loans and OREO outstanding 19.5% 16.7%
</TABLE>
The percentage of total non-performing assets to total loans and OREO
outstanding has increased as a result of the decline in total loans and OREO of
$41.1 million to $75.4 million as of September 30, 1995 from $116.5 million as
of December 31, 1995.
In addition to the loans disclosed in the foregoing table, as of
September 30, 1995, the Bank had approximately $444,000 in loans that were 90
days or more delinquent as to principle and interest payments and on accrual
status. These loans were in the process of collection and paid off in full as to
principle and interest in October 1995. As of September 30, 1995, approximately
$2.2 million in loans were between 31 and 89 days delinquent. In the opinion of
management, some of the loans delinquent between 31 and 89 days may have a
greater than ordinary risk that the borrowers may not be able to
- 17 -
<PAGE> 20
perform under the terms of their contractual arrangements. Approximately $1.8
million of the loans delinquent between 31 and 89 days are secured by first
deeds of trust on real estate and $431,000 are secured by homeowner association
assessments, or accounts receivable and inventory.
VALUATION ALLOWANCES
The Company implemented SFAS No. 114 on January 1, 1995. The effect of
SFAS No. 114 on the Company's financial statements is immaterial. As of
September 30, 1995, $2.7 million in the allowance of loan losses was allocable
to impaired loans which totaled $16.6 million.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Bank charges current earnings with provisions for estimated losses
on loans receivable. The provisions take into consideration specifically
identified problem loans, the financial condition of the borrowers, the fair
value of the collateral, recourse to guarantors and other factors.
Specific loss allowances are established based on the asset
classification and credit quality grade. Specific loss allowances are utilized
to ensure that the allowance is allocated based on the credit quality grading to
capture inherent risks including present value of expected cash flows and fair
value of real estate collateral. In addition, the Bank carries an "unallocated"
loan loss allowance to provide for losses that may occur in the future in loans
that are not presently classified, based on present economic conditions, trends,
and related uncertainties. The following table summarizes the loan loss
experience of the Bank for the nine months ended September 30, 1995:

</TABLE>
For the first nine months of 1995, the Company charged off all or a
portion of thirteen loans. Recoveries were $1.3 million relating to 35 loans.
The unallocated portion of the allowance for loan loss totaled $674,000 at
September 30, 1995 compared to $373,000 at December 31, 1994. The increase in
the unallocated allowance reflects the Bank's continued efforts to provide for
the inherent losses in the entire loan portfolio.

experience of the Bank for the nine months ended September 30, 1995:

A provision for loss on real estate investments was required for the
Bank's two remaining investment properties during the first nine months of 1995
based on the periodic review of property values and the intent of the Bank to
offer these properties at prices which are expected to encourage an expedited
sale.
BANK OF SAN FRANCISCO BUILDING COMPANY (BSFBC)
During the third quarter of 1995, the Bank acquired all of the outside
limited partnership interest in BSFBC for a total of $3.3 million. The cost in
excess of bookvalue of $525,000 is being amortized over the life of the
underlying lease through 2010 using the straight line method. As of September
30, 1995, the Bank holds all of the limited partnership interest and BSFRI holds
2.5% ownership interest as a general partner. BSFBC holds the lease on the
Company's and Bank's headquarters at 550 Montgomery Street, San Francisco,
California.
The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method. The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BSFBC. The Company's
consolidated operating results include the operations of BSFBC beginning July 1,
1995. The assets of BSFBC include leasehold improvements and leasehold interest
totaling $5.5 million and investment securities totaling $1.3 million. The
liabilities include other borrowings which were used to finance the acquisition
of leasehold interest by BSFBC in 1986. The borrowing was repaid on October 31,
1995.
As a result of the acquisition, the Company's consolidated premises and
equipment increased to $8.8 million as of September 30, 1995 from $3.0 million
as of December 31, 1994. As of September 30, 1995, the Company's premises and
equipment is comprised of leasehold improvements totaling $5.7 million, lease
interest totaling $2.0 million, premium paid to acquire BSFBC totaling $517,000,
and furniture and equipment totaling $597,000. The acquisition, however, had the
effect of reducing the Bank's occupancy costs.

DEPOSITS
The Bank had total deposits of $108.5 million at September 30, 1995,
compared to $147.1 million at December 31, 1994, a decrease of $38.7 million, or
26.3%. A summary of deposits at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 is as
follows:

Total time deposits 48,849 48,224
----------------------
Total deposits $108,494 $147,148
======================
</TABLE>
The decline was attributed to decreases in private and business banking
customer deposits of $29.3 million, Association Bank Services customer deposits
of $10.2 million, and Trust deposits of $800,000, which were partially offset by
increases in deposits related to Stock Option Lending of $425,000 and volatile
deposits of $1.2 million.
The Bank's primary focus is in private and business banking, with
deposits totaling $36.9 million, or 34% of total deposits, at September 30,
1995, compared to $67.0 million, or 45.5% of total deposits, at December 31,
1994. Private and business banking customer deposits declined during the first
nine months of 1995 primarily because of the Bank's redefinition of its loan
products resulting in some customers reducing or closing their deposit account
balances.
The Bank is dependent upon other sources for deposits. Deposits
acquired through its Association Bank Services function totaled $24.3 million,
or 22% of total deposits at September 30, 1995, compared to $34.5 million, or
24% of total deposits at December 31, 1994. The decline during the first nine
months of 1995 was due to certain association managers transferring their
banking relationships to other financial institutions within their community.
Subsequent to September 30, 1995, the manager of the Association Bank Services
department resigned to join one of the Bank's competitors.
Deposits acquired through the money desk operations totaled $28.7
million, or 26% of total deposits at September 30, 1995, compared to $14.9
million, or 10% of total deposits at December 31, 1994. Management plans to
repay brokered deposits through the increase in money desk deposits as a result
of the suspension of the brokered deposits waiver as discussed below. The Bank
expects to maintain the level of money desk deposits during the remainder of the
year with the intention of replacing the brokered deposits and to allow for a
more orderly reduction of dependence on volatile deposits.
The Bank's ability to accept brokered placements of deposits was
restricted under FDICIA and FDIC regulations. As of September 30, 1995, the Bank
had outstanding $3.7 million of certificate brokered deposits, all of which
mature over the next four months. The Bank's brokered deposit waiver
- 20 -
<PAGE> 23
was suspended during the first quarter of 1995. The Bank may not accept or renew
any brokered deposits without obtaining regulatory approval. Certain other
transaction account deposits placed in the Bank by certain money managers were
reclassified as brokered deposits. The aggregate amount of such deposits were
$2.0 million at September 30, 1995. The Bank expects to file an application with
the FDIC to reinstate the brokered deposit waiver, once it has raised sufficient
capital to achieve the required capital level, to provide more flexibility in
the management of deposits and liquidity. No assurance can be given that
additional capital will be raised or that an additional waiver will be granted.
Concentrations of brokered deposits and deposits acquired through the
money desk operations have been classified by bank regulators as volatile
liabilities associated with certain risks, including the risks of reduced
liquidity if a bank is unable to retain such deposits and reduced margins if its
interest costs are increased by a bank in order to retain such deposits. As a
result of the Orders, the Bank was required to submit a plan to the FDIC and SBD
to reduce the Bank's volatile liability dependency ratio to not more than 15%.
The Bank's volatile dependency ratio at September 30, 1995 was 7.8%.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 - Legal Proceedings
Because of the nature of its business, the Company and its
subsidiaries, including the Bank, are from time-to-time a party to legal
actions. The Bank has been dismissed from, or reached settlement or potential
settlement in litigation or potential litigation matters which management deems
material. In some instances the Bank has agreed to make certain payments. As a
result of the settlement or potential settlement of certain lawsuits, the
Company established a litigation reserve of $536,500 as of December 31, 1994.
The Company charged $411,000 to the reserve during the first nine months of
1995. As of September 30, 1995, the Company and/or the Bank are defendants in
certain lawsuits for which the damages sought are, in the opinion of management,
not substantial.
The Company and the Bank have settled certain disputes with Mr. Donald
R. Stephens, a former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company who resigned in 1993.
Item 2 - Changes in Securities
Series D Preferred Shares
The Board of Directors, pursuant to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, has designated seven hundred fifty thousand (750,000) shares of
the Company's preferred stock as "9% Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock" (the
"Series D Preferred Stock"). During the Second Quarter of 1995, the Company sold
two hundred fifteen thousand (215,000) shares of the Series D Preferred Stock,
par value $.01 per share, to Putra Masagung, the Company's principal stockholder
who owns approximately 97% of the Company's outstanding Class A Common Stock,
for the purchase price of $20.00 per share (an aggregate purchase price of $4.3
million). The principal features of the Series D Preferred Stock are as follows:
Dividends. Holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled
to receive out of funds legally available therefore, if, as and when declared by
the Board of Directors of the Company, an annual cash dividend of One Dollar and
Eighty Cents ($1.80) per share, payable semi-annually in April and October of
each year, before any cash dividends can be paid on the common stock of the
Company. Dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock are junior to payment of
dividend at the stated annual rate of fifty-six Cents ($.56) per share on the
Company's 8% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred
Stock") and all other series of preferred stock that the Company may issue in
the future that are designated senior to the Series D Preferred Stock. No
dividends or other distributions (other than those payable solely in common
stock) shall be payable with respect to the Company's Class A Common Stock or
any other stock junior to the Series D Preferred Stock during any fiscal year of
the Company until cash dividends on each share of the Series D Preferred Stock
shall have been paid in full or declared and set apart for payment in full
during that fiscal year. Dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock are not
cumulative and the Board of Directors has the right at any time to eliminate or
defer such dividends during any fiscal year of the Company.
After payment of cash dividends at the stated rate on the Series B
Preferred Stock and all other series of preferred shares that the Company may
issue in the future and that are designated senior to the Series D Preferred
stock and payment of cash dividends at the stated rate on the Series D Preferred
Stock, and on any other preferred stock of the Company that is on a parity with
the Series D Preferred Stock,
- 22 -
<PAGE> 25
holders of the Series D Preferred Stock will participate pro rata with the
holders of Class A Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock on the basis of
number of shares owned, in all other cash dividends by the Company to its
shareholders.
Management anticipates that no dividends will be paid on the Series D
Preferred Stock and that it will be fully converted into Class A Common Stock by
the holder thereof upon approval by the shareholders of the Company. Even if the
conversion feature is not approved, it is highly unlikely that the Company will
pay dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock in the foreseeable future.
Voting Rights. Subject to applicable law, the holders of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to one vote per each share of Series D
Preferred Stock on all matters on which shareholders are entitled to vote,
including the election of directors. Holders of shares of Series D Preferred
Stock generally vote with the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and the
holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock as a single class, except that the
holders of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as a
separate class on any modifications to the rights of the holders of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock and otherwise as required by law.
Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of
shares of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive out of the assets of
the Company available for distribution to the Company's shareholders an amount
equal to Twenty Dollars ($20.00) per share, plus any declared but unpaid
dividends thereon, before any distributions will be made to the holders of
shares of Class A Common Stock or any other class of stock junior in preference
upon liquidation, but after distribution at the rate of Seven Dollars ($7.00)
per share on the Series B Preferred Stock and after or concurrent with
distributions to be made at the stated rate on any other preferred shares of any
series ranking on a parity with or senior in preference upon liquidation to the
Series D Preferred Stock.
Conversion. Shares of the Series D Preferred Stock are not currently
convertible but will become so if the conversion feature is approved by the
holders of a majority of the Class A Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock
(voting as a single class). If the conversion feature of the Series D Preferred
Stock is so approved, each share of the Series D Preferred Stock will be come
convertible into approximately 59 shares of Class A Common Stock as determined
by a committee of the Board of Directors of the Company determined to be
independent and without any personal interest in the determination of such
conversion ratio, in consultation with the holder or holders of the Series D
Preferred Stock. Moreover, if holders of a majority of the Company's Class A
Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock outstanding on the date that is thirty
(30) days following the date of the adoption of such shareholder resolution
approving the conversion feature, the Series D Preferred Stock will be
mandatorily converted into Class A Common Stock on the terms described above.
Risk Protection Rights
In 1994, the Company issued 3,521,126 shares of Class A Common Stock to
its majority shareholder in a private stock offering for $20.0 million in
capital. Each unit sold under the private stock offering included a Risk
Protection Right (the "RPR"). Under the RPR, additional Class A Common Stock
would be issued to the holder of each RPR if a net loss were incurred on certain
specified assets or as the result of losses incurred related to certain
litigation actions. Adjustment shares, to a maximum of 9,723,000 shares, would
have been issued to compensate for the losses related to specific assets and
certain lawsuits none of which, as of September 30, 1995, have been issued. The
Company's majority shareholder has relinquished his rights under the RPR.

The Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, is
listed on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX). On April 10, 1995, the AMEX
suspended trading of the Company's Class A Common Stock as a result of the
Company no longer meeting certain AMEX listing requirements. On November 1,
1995, the Company informed the AMEX that it did not object to the removal of its
Class A Common Stock from listing and registrations on the AMEX, and on November
2, 1995, the AMEX applied to the Securities and Exchange Commission for
permission to delist the Company's Class A Common Stock.
