PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Killearn Properties, Inc. (the "Company") was organized as a Florida
corporation in 1964. The Company is engaged primarily in the development of
planned communities (see "ITEM 1. BUSINESS - Land Development," below) in the
vicinity of Henry County, Georgia (see "ITEM 2. PROPERTIES," below). The
Company's principal executive offices are located at 100 Eagle's Landing Way,
Stockbridge, Georgia 30281, (770) 389-2020.
Recent Developments
In May 1996, Proactive Technologies, Inc. ("Proactive"), the Company's
second largest shareholder, proposed to the Company a transaction pursuant to
which the Company would transfer certain of its assets and liabilities to J.T.
Williams, Jr., the Company's former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer, in exchange for 551,321 shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Williams
(approximately 42% of the outstanding Common Stock, the "Redemption Shares")
and the cancellation of his option to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of
Common Stock. On August 1, 1996 the Company entered into an agreement, subject
to shareholder approval, pursuant to which it agreed to transfer assets
comprised principally of the Eagle's Landing Golf Course and Country Club, the
Inn at Eagle's Landing, approximately 250 acres of commercial and industrial
real estate, land sufficient to construct an additional nine hole golf course,
the Company's interest in certain joint ventures and approximately $2 million
cash in order to redeem Mr. Williams' common stock interests. The agreement
provided that the transaction would be effective as of May 1, 1996.
On September 30, 1996, the shareholders of the Company approved the
transfer agreement, and the transaction closed on November 16, 1996. The net
assets transferred in exchange for the redemption shares had a historical cost
basis of approximately $17,191,000 which has been reflected as a reduction to
shareholders' equity in the accompanying balance sheet. The net operating
results of the transferred assets have been removed from the statement of
operations retroactively to the effective date and have not been considered in
the determination of net income of the Company. Furthermore, prior year
results of operations have been restated to reflect the transferred assets as
discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations and cash
flows. See Item 6. "Management's Discussion and Analysis and Summary of
Operations" and Note 3 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements
included in Item 7.
Henry County, Georgia
In April 1986, the Company purchased approximately 2,600 acres of property,
known as the Eagle's Landing (see ITEM 2. "PROPERTIES," below), which is
located in Henry County, Georgia. During fiscal 1987, the Company purchased
217 additional acres and obtained options to purchase 45 additional acres.
Additionally, the Company purchased approximately 88 acres in fiscal 1997.
Henry County is an attractive location for industrial, commercial and
residential development due to its close proximity to the Atlanta International
Airport and downtown Atlanta. The property is on an I-75 interchange.
Henry County is a part of the metropolitan Atlanta area. Its principal
cities are McDonough and Stockbridge. A portion of the Company's property is
within the City of Stockbridge. It is estimated that Henry County, at present,
has a population of approximately 87,000 persons and is projected to reach a
population of approximately 111,200 persons by the year 2000.
The greatest influence on the economy of Henry County is the service
industry, followed by manufacturing, retail and trade administration.
Sale of Tallahassee, Florida Assets
During fiscal 1994 and the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company sold
substantially all of its Tallahassee properties to an entity that later merged
with Proactive Technologies, Inc. See Item 2. "Properties", Item 6.
"Management's Discussion and Analysis and Summary of Operations" and Note 12 to
the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 7. Prior to
the sale, the Company had developed communities in Tallahassee for thirty
years, and had been the largest land developer in Leon County, Florida.
On April 30, 1997, the Company had approximately 29 fully developed lots
remaining to be sold in Tallahassee, Florida. It is anticipated these lots
will be sold in fiscal 1998.
Land Development
Historically, the Company has acquired large areas of unimproved real
estate, and has subdivided, developed and then resold the developed real estate
in smaller parcels to individuals and builders. Following the acquisition of a
large area of unimproved real estate, the Company retains a landscape architect
who, together with personnel of the Company, prepares a master land use plan
for the entire subdivision. The subdivision is platted and divided into units
and the units are further divided into lots.
After securing the necessary zoning and other applicable regulatory
approvals from local, state and federal authorities, the Company commences the
development of the subdivision by developing one or more units located within
each such subdivision.
In units where lots are sold, the Company generally makes provision for
water lines, storm drainage, underground or overhead electrical service,
telephone lines and paved streets. (See "Item 1. BUSINESS - Liability for
Improvements," below.) In all units where lots are sold by the Company,
arrangements are made with appropriate governmental agencies and utility
companies for police and fire protection and for electricity, telephone and
water service.
The Company believes it is the largest land developer in Henry County,
Georgia. At April 30, 1997, the Company had approximately 232 platted lots
available for immediate sale and approximately 995 acres of undeveloped land
available for immediate or future development. The property remaining is
presently zoned approximately 11% for industrial uses, 76% residential uses and
13% for commercial and other uses. The Company intends to continue to develop
and divide its Henry County property into lots and to sell certain parcels to
other developers.
The management of the Company believes that, if the Company does not
acquire any additional real estate and if the Company makes no bulk
dispositions of real estate, the Company's present inventory of land is
sufficient, at present levels of land sales, for at least six years of
operation.
Liability for Improvements
The Company is obligated to complete the improvements to each partially
developed lot sold by it on a specified date no later than one year from the
date of sale of each such lot.
Pursuant to an agreement with the Leon County Commission and the Division
of Florida Land Sales, the Company was required to maintain an improvement
trust fund as partial assurance to provide funds to complete improvements to
its Florida properties. During fiscal 1997, the Company applied the cash
balance of this improvement trust fund towards the cost of these improvements,
leaving no balance in this trust fund at April 30, 1997.
The total cost to complete the improvements to units from which sales of
partially developed lots have been made is estimated to be approximately
$135,000 at April 30, 1997, all of which is expected to be made in fiscal 1998.
The Company is obligated to provide sewer in specified areas of the Florida
property which it previously owned and sold to other developers for investment
and resale. The estimated cost to the Company is $278,000, all of which is
expected to be paid in fiscal 1998.
Sales and Marketing
The Company's sales force consists of 3 full-time salespersons at July 1,
1997. These salespersons are compensated by the Company on a salary plus
commission or commission-only basis. In addition, the Company retains
independent salespersons, employed by an unrelated sales broker who work out of
the Company's sales office. These independent salespersons primarily sell the
Company's land and are compensated on a commission-only basis. Lots are sold
by the Company primarily to builders and to persons who presently reside or who
plan to reside in the Company's developments.
Sales of lots to builders and prospective individual home buyers and sales
of commercial tracts are made by the Company primarily for cash. (See notes 1,
2 and 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.)
Employees
At April 30, 1997, the Company had approximately 13 employees, including
salespersons. Management of the Company believes that its relationship with
its employees is good.
Competition
The land development industry in the State of Georgia is highly
competitive. Land development firms located in all geographic areas of
Georgia, many of which possess greater sales and financial resources than the
Company, compete to attract local residents, retired persons, and other persons
who are relocating. The Company competes with such firms on the basis of a
number of interrelated factors, including reputation, location, design, quality
and price. Individual resales of residential units and lots provide additional
competition.
The Company believes that it is the largest land developer in Henry County,
but it competes with larger developers in the metropolitan Atlanta area, as
well as with smaller developers.
Regulations
As a land developer, the Company is subject to environmental, building,
zoning and real estate sales regulation by, among others, local zoning and
planning authorities, the Division of Georgia Land Sales and various state and
federal environmental protection agencies.
All of the necessary local, state and federal regulatory approvals for the
development of its presently active subdivision projects in Henry County,
Georgia have been secured by the Company. Additional permits and approvals may
be required as new subdivisions are constructed; however, the Company does not
anticipate any difficulty in securing such permits and approvals. (See "Item
2. Properties", below.)
The Company's management is not presently aware of any anticipated
revocation or amendment of any of its regulatory approvals. However, in the
event that any regulatory approvals presently secured by the Company are
revoked or materially altered, the business of the Company could be adversely
affected.
Economic Conditions
The Company's business, as well as the real estate industry in general, is
affected by a number of economic factors, including interest rates and
inflation. Interest rates affect both the cost to individuals and builders of
purchasing homes and lots from the Company and the carrying costs of
undeveloped land. During the past fiscal year, interest rates on residential
mortgage loans remained stable. In the past, the Company has increased the
price of lots offered for sale to offset increased inflation. Such increases
reduce the number of persons who are able to afford the lots and homes offered
by the Company. If interest rates and inflation increase substantially, the
real estate and construction industries would be adversely affected and the
Company's ability to sell its real estate could be significantly adversely
affected.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's principal subdivisions are as follows:
Eagle's Landing (formerly known as Atlanta Tech Center)
Eagle's Landing comprises approximately 3,000 acres in Henry County,
Georgia, and is approximately 23 miles south of downtown Atlanta and 15 miles
south of the Atlanta International Airport.
This "mixed use" development is presently zoned to allow development in the
categories of office, industrial, retail, multi-family residential,
single-family residential, lodging, schools, municipal services, religious
institutions, parks and recreation, golf course, open space and lakes. The
community is planned around Eagle's Landing golf course and country club, both
of which were originally developed by the Company.
At April 30, 1997, approximately 930 residential lots and 554 acres of
other property had been sold by the Company. Approximately 232 platted
residential lots remained to be sold and approximately 995 acres of other
property remained to be platted and/or sold. In addition, the Company had
approximately 199 acres which will be used for road right-of-way, utility
easements and green areas.
Tallahassee Properties
The Company developed two major subdivisions in northeast Tallahassee,
Florida. During fiscal 1994 and the first quarter of fiscal 1995,
substantially all of the Company's remaining Tallahassee properties were sold
to an entity that later merged with Proactive Technologies, Inc., see Item 6.
"Management's Discussion and Analysis and Summary of Operations" and Note 12 to
the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 7.
At April 30, 1997, the Company owned 29 platted lots in Tallahassee,
Florida. All of the properties are expected to be sold within fiscal 1998.
Encumbrances
Substantially all of the land owned by the Company in the above described
subdivisions serve as collateral for the indebtedness of the Company. See
Notes 6 and 12 of Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements
included in Item 7.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course
of business. In the opinion of the management of, and general counsel to the
Company, none of these proceedings, alone or in the aggregate, should have a
material adverse effect upon the Company.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted by the Company to a vote of its security holders
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The Common Stock has been traded on the American Stock Exchange since 1980.
Quarterly sales prices for the fiscal years ended April 30, 1997 and 1996 were
as follows:
Quarter of 1997 1996
Fiscal Year High Low High Low
First 10 1/4 8 1/4 5 1/4 4 5/8
Second 9 3/4 7 1/8 6 1/2 4 9/16
Third 8 1/4 5 3/4 6 5/8 5
Fourth 7 1/4 5 9 7/8 5 1/2
The Company has never declared nor paid dividends.
As of July 1, 1997 there were approximately 538 shareholders of record of
the Company's Common Stock, excluding security position listings.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the two year period ended April 30, 1997, the Company generated
positive cash flows from operations due to the opening of several phases of the
Company's subdivisions, new marketing strategies employed during the current
fiscal year, and the receipt of principal and interest payments on notes
received from the sale of the Company's Tallahassee properties.
Subsequent to the Company's year end, the Company restructured its loan
agreement (with a balance of approximately $8,152,000 at April 30,1997) with a
bank, involving its Georgia operations. The loan is collateralized by first
mortgages on substantially all of the undeveloped land in the Company's Georgia
property. Interest on this loan is payable at prime rate plus 1.25% per annum,
and the maturity of the loan is in July 2000. Upon the sale of the property
serving as collateral, release prices, which vary with the development, are
applied against the loan balance owed to the bank. As these properties are
developed, the Company has been able to secure development loans from lenders
in an amount sufficient to pay the release price and all development costs,
which are ultimately satisfied with proceeds from the sale of the properties.
During the next two fiscal years, the Company has other debt maturing in
the amounts of approximately $9.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The
Company normally borrows its development loans for its Georgia properties from
banks. Although the notes are short-term, the debt historically has been
renewed or extended each year. The Company anticipates that such debt will be
paid through funds generated by its normal operations, an extension of debt or
new borrowings on the same collateral. During the past fiscal year, the
Company reduced its debt by approximately $10.6 million and had new borrowings
totaling approximately $10.9 million. The Company continues to seek lines of
credit to satisfy its capital requirements.
During fiscal 1998, the Company anticipates completing improvements of
partially developed lots and tracts at a cost estimated to be $135,000 and
improving undeveloped land at a cost of approximately $6.3 million. The
Company anticipates financing these improvements through: (1) funds generated
in the normal course of the Company's business; (2) utilization of existing
lines of credit; and (3) securing additional lines of credit. The Company
anticipates that funds available from these sources will be sufficient to meet
the needs of the Company during fiscal 1998. At April 30, 1997, the Company
had available lines of credit totaling $2.3 million. These lines of credit
will be drawn as needed for the development of the Company's property and
operational expenses.
Results of Operations
During fiscal 1997, lot sales increased approximately $700,000 (12.7%)
while other land sales decreased $3.4 million (31.8%) over fiscal 1996. The
increase in lot sales was primarily the result of the Company's development of
new residential units in its Georgia property in the current fiscal year. The
net decrease in the other land sales was primarily the result of the
recognition in of $8.6 million in fiscal 1996 resulting from the sale of
substantially all of the Florida assets. Sales in the Georgia property
increased by $5.2 million (495.3%)in the current fiscal year when compared to
fiscal 1996 primarily as a result of the Company initiating a modified sales
program intended to expand its marketing efforts.
The Company discontinued its residential construction activities in fiscal
1994 and sold its remaining home in fiscal 1997.
Equity in income from joint ventures decreased $435,232 in the current year
over the prior year income due to the prior year recognition of $490,464 from a
sale of a facility built by the joint venture.
Interest income decreased approximately $273,000 due primarily to the
reduction in principal of notes receivable received from the sale of the
Tallahassee properties (see Note 12 to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements).
Gross profit on lot sales increased to 40.7% in fiscal 1997 from 29.5% in
fiscal 1996. This increase is a result of the Company's strong lot sales in
the middle- to higher-priced subdivisions in the current year. Gross profit on
other land sales was 36.9% and 24.6% in fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Most of the Company's other land sales in the current year sales were of
property in its Georgia project, while the majority of the prior years' other
land sales were from the discounted bulk sale of the Tallahassee, Florida
properties in November 1993.
Commissions and selling expenses (net of commission income) as a percentage
of net sales of lots, land and residential construction increased to 11.0%
during fiscal 1997 compared to 7.8% in fiscal 1996. This is as a result of the
bulk sale of the Company's Tallahassee, Florida properties recognized in 1996
having no related sales commission.
Depreciation and property taxes decreased by $17,600 and $29,000,
respectively, in the current fiscal year when compared to the prior year.
General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $217,000 fiscal
1997 when compared to fiscal 1996, as a result of the transfer of certain of
the Company's assets discussed below.
On November 14, 1993, the Company entered into agreements to sell
substantially all of its Florida assets for $25.7 million. As of April 30,
1997, $25.4 million of the sale had closed with the purchaser assuming $9.2
million of the Company's debt; issuing notes to the Company totaling $8.1
million and paying $8.1 million in cash. The notes are payable over the next 2
years. The remaining $300,000 of the sale is scheduled to close during fiscal
1998, for cash. The Company remained as guarantor on the debt assumed, however
such debt was fully repaid by April 30, 1997. (See Note 12 of the Notes to the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements).
In May 1996, Proactive Technologies, Inc. ("Proactive"), the Company's
second largest shareholder, proposed to the Company a transaction pursuant to
which the Company would transfer certain of its assets and liabilities to J.T.
Williams, Jr., the Company's former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer, in exchange for 551,321 shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Williams
(approximately 42% of the outstanding Common Stock, the "Redemption Shares")
and the cancellation of his option to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of
Common Stock. On August 1, 1996 the Company entered into an agreement, subject
to shareholder approval, pursuant to which it agreed to transfer assets
comprised principally of the Eagle's Landing Golf Course and Country Club, the
Inn at Eagle's Landing, approximately 250 acres of commercial and industrial
real estate, land sufficient to construct an additional nine hole golf course,
the Company's interest in certain joint ventures and approximately $2 million
cash. The agreement provided that the transaction would be effective as of May
1, 1996.
On September 30, 1996, the shareholders of the Company approved the
transfer agreement, and the transaction closed on November 16, 1996. The net
assets transferred had a historical cost basis of approximately $17,191,000
which has been reflected as a reduction to shareholders' equity in the
accompanying balance sheet. The net operating results of the transferred
assets have been removed from the statement of operations retroactively to the
effective date and have not been considered in the determination of net income
of the Company. Furthermore, adjustments to prior year results of operations
have been made to account for the transferred assets. The prior year results
of the transferred assets have been reflected as discontinued operations in the
accompanying statements of operations and cash flows.
The prior year results of the transferred assets have been reflected as
discontinued operations resulting in a loss of $33,876 in the accompanying
statement of operations, and a net use of $2,378,902 in the statement of cash
flows. Additionally, 1997 statement of retained earnings and the balance sheet
reflect a net reduction of $17,191,000 as a result of the net transfer of
assets.
Inflation
The effect of inflation was negligible in fiscal 1997 and 1996. If
inflation and interest rates return to their previously higher levels, they
could have a material adverse effect upon the real estate and construction
industries and could significantly and adversely affect the Company's ability
to sell its real estate.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Killearn Properties, Inc.
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Killearn Properties, Inc.
and Subsidiaries as of April 30, 1997, and the related consolidated statements
of earnings, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years
ended April 30, 1997 and 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Killearn Properties, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of April 30, 1997 and 1996 and
the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

statements.
KILLEARN PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Two Year Period Ended April 30, 1997
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Killearn Properties, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company").
Investments in which the Company owns less than a majority interest, but does
not have a unilateral controlling interest, or has shared control, are
accounted for under the equity method. Additionally, all significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
(b) Revenue Recognition
Lot Sales
The Company sells fully developed and partially developed homesites
primarily in Henry County, Georgia to builders and individuals under contracts,
which generally provide for small down payments and monthly installments.
Profit from lot sales is recorded on the full accrual, percentage of
completion, or cost recovery method depending upon the terms of the sale. On
sales to builders, a small down payment is made at the time of sale and a total
of 20% to 100% is required at the time the builder receives a deed and gives
the Company a mortgage securing the balance due. Sales prices are discounted
to produce a minimum yield on the contract balance over its life. The amount
of revenue recognized at the time a sale is recognized is measured by the
relationship of costs already incurred to total estimated costs to be incurred.
If certain improvements are incomplete, the portion of revenue related to costs
not yet incurred is recognized as the costs are incurred.
Until the required down payment percentage (generally 10% for
individuals and 20% to 100% for builders) and other accounting criteria are
met, all collections, including interest, are recorded as deposits, commissions
paid to salesmen, if any, are deferred, and the related land cost is segregated
in inventory. Once the required down payment has been received, a sale is
recognized, previously deferred commissions are charged to expense, the related
land costs and any improvements are charged to cost of sales, the interest
portion of the deposit is recorded as income and the balance reduces the
principal amount due from the purchaser.
Upon cancellation of a contract, the difference between the unpaid
contract receivable balance and the cost of the related land is charged to the
allowance for uncollectible contracts. When a contract cancels before
qualifying as a sale, deferred selling costs are charged to expense and
deposits forfeited are credited to income.
The amount of the provision for uncollectible sales is based on the
Company's contract receivable cancellation history. Additionally, the
allowance includes a provision relating to all other receivables where
management believes collection is doubtful.
Other Land Sales
Sales of bulk land tracts are accounted for in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 66. Under the
Statement, the buyer's commitment must meet certain minimum requirements as to
initial and continuing investment (generally 10% to 25%) before revenue and
profit are recognized. As appropriate, some sales are accounted for on the
installment basis.
(c) Cash
The Company classifies as cash equivalents any investment which can
be readily converted to cash and has an original maturity of less than three
months. At times, cash balances at a limited number of banks and financial
institutions may exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates
its risks by depositing cash in sound financial institutions.
(d) Real Estate Held for Development and Sale
Real estate held for development and sale is recorded at the lower of
cost or estimated net realizable value. Expenditures for land development are
capitalized and allocated to development projects by the specific
identification method. Costs are allocated to specific lots based on the ratio
of the lot sales price to the estimated total project sales price times the
total project costs. Interest and property taxes are capitalized while
development is in progress. Total interest and property taxes capitalized
during 1997 and 1996 were as follows:
1997 1996
--------- ---------
Interest 1,590,450 1,786,914
Property Taxes 97,978 187,115
(e) Property and Equipment, and related depreciation
The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived
assets (primarily property and equipment) to assess the recoverability of these
assets; any impairments would be recognized in operating results if a permanent
diminution in value were to occur. As part of this assessment, the Company
reviews the expected future net operating cash flows from its facilities, as
well as the values included in any of its facilities, which have periodically
been obtained in connection with various refinancings.
Provision for depreciation is made primarily on the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, as follows:
Years
-----
Buildings 10-40
Machinery, equipment and vehicles 5-10
Furniture and fixtures 5-10
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as
incurred. Additions, improvements, and major renewals are capitalized. Upon
the sale or retirement of properties, the cost of the assets and accumulated
depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts, and any resulting
gains or losses are included in income.
(f) Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for
deferred taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and
the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances
are established when necessary to reduce a deferred tax asset to the amount
expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period
and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
(g) Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The amounts recorded in the financial statements for the Company's
receivables, payables, and investment in unconsolidated joint ventures are
carried at amounts that approximate fair value. Long-term debt is carried at
amounts which approximate fair value based on current borrowing rates for loans
with similar terms.
(h) Earnings Per Share
The weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted to
recognize the dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding stock options in
calculating earnings per share.
(i) Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 1996 financial statements and notes to
consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the
1997 presentation.
(j) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 - Land Contracts Receivable
Land contracts receivable, arising from sales of lots to individuals and
builders, are generally due over periods which range from one to three years
and provide for stated interest ranging from 9% to 11.5% per annum. The
weighted average stated interest rate of retail land contracts receivable was
10.12% at April 30, 1997. Retail contracts receivable at April 30, 1997 are
all due in fiscal 1998.
NOTE 3 - Stock Redemption
On August 1, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement, subject to
shareholder approval, pursuant to which it agreed to acquire the 551,321 shares
of common stock in the Company held by J.T. Williams, Jr., the Company's former
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and the cancellation of his
option to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of common stock through the
transfer of certain of its assets and liabilities. The net assets identified
in the agreement consisted principally of the Eagle's Landing Golf Course and
Country Club, the Inn at Eagle's Landing, a note for approximately $2 million
and approximately 250 acres of commercial and industrial real estate, subject
to certain mortgages and other liabilities. The agreement provided that
subject to shareholder approval, the redemption would be effective as of May 1,
1996. Accordingly, the net cash flows related to the transferred assets from
the effective date (May 1, 1996) until the closing date would be transferred to
or funded by J.T. Williams, Jr.
On September 30, 1996, the shareholders of the Company approved the
redemption, and the transaction closed on November 16, 1996. The historical
cost basis of approximately $17,191,000 of the net assets transferred has been
reflected as retired treasury stock in the accompanying balance sheet and
statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The net operating results of the
transferred assets have been removed from the statement of operations
retroactively to the effective date and have not been considered in the
determination of net income of the Company for the year ended April 30, 1997.
The prior year results have been adjusted to reflect the net operating results
of the transferred assets as discontinued operations. Revenues from
discontinued operations for fiscal 1996 were approximately $3.0 million.
The following table reflects the assets and liabilities transferred in
exchange for the shares held by J. T. Williams prior to the retirement of these
shares:

NOTE 4 - Real Estate Held for Development and Sale
Information with respect to real estate held for development and sale at
April 30, 1997 is as follows:
Land developed and under development:
Land fully developed $ 5,462,022
Land under development 15,603,564
-----------
$ 21,065,586
===========
Real estate under contract for sale:
Lot sales $ 1,217,585
Other land sales 1,976,789
-----------
$ 3,194,374
===========
Included in land under development are portions of the properties
undergoing development activity which have not reached the stage at which they
can be offered for sale.
NOTE 5 - Customers' Deposits
At April 30, 1997, customers' deposits includes receipts relating to real
estate under contract for sale which have not yet been recorded as sales of
approximately $67,400, and deposits on contracts being negotiated of $63,500.
NOTE 6 - Debt
At April 30, 1997, the Company had various note agreements with financial
institutions and individuals. These note agreements are summarized as follows:
April 30, 1997
Balance
--------------
Term notes payable to Bank (A) $ 8,152,279
Term notes payable (B) 3,184,518
Development notes payable to a Bank (C) 2,313,184
Other notes payable (D) 6,334,383
----------
$ 19,984,364
==========
(A) Subsequent to the Company's year end, the Company restructured its
loan agreement with a bank, involving its Georgia operations. The loan is
collateralized by first mortgages on substantially all of the undeveloped land
in the Company's Georgia project and certain contracts receivable. Upon the
sale of the property serving as collateral, release prices, which vary with the
development, are applied against the loan balance owed to the bank. As these
properties are developed, the Company has been able to secure development loans
from other lenders in an amount sufficient to pay the release price and all
development costs, which are ultimately satisfied with proceeds from the sale
of the properties. Interest on this loan is payable at the Bank's prime rate
plus 1.25% per annum, and the maturity of the loan is in July 2000.
(B) On November 16, 1996, the Company, upon closing the agreement
discussed in Note 3, signed a note payable in the amount of approximately $3.3
million. The terms of the note call for interest at the rate of 10.5% per
annum, with the principal balance being due in August 1997.
(C) The Company normally borrows its development loans for its Georgia
properties from a bank. The approximate balance of such loans at April 30,
1997 was $2.3 million and at April 30, 1996 was $3 million. The terms of such
loans require interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1.5% or 2%. The bank's
prime rate on April 30, 1997 was 8.5%. The principal reduction of these loans
is from lot release prices which vary with the development. Normally, the loan
is due one year from the date of the loan and is extended for one year, if
necessary.
(D) The Company has other notes payable, which are due in various
installments through 2001 and bear interest at 8.89% to 12% at April 30, 1997.
Maturities of debt outstanding at April 30, 1997 follow:
Fiscal Years of Maturity Amount
------------------------ ------
1998 $ 17,737,440
1999 1,545,756
2000 346,537
2001 318,631
-------------
$ 19,948,364
=============
Substantially all of the Company's assets are mortgaged or pledged as
collateral for its indebtedness. Most of the agreements with the lenders
provide that the Company will not declare or pay dividends to its stockholders.
NOTE 7 - Liability for Improvements
On partially developed lots, the Company is obligated to complete the land
improvements on various specified dates. Under an agreement with the Leon
County Commission and the Division of Florida Land Sales, the Company was
required to maintain an improvement trust fund as partial assurance to provide
funds to complete improvements to its Florida properties. During fiscal 1997,
the Company applied the cash balance of this fund towards the cost of these
improvements, leaving no balance in the fund at April 30, 1997.
The total cost to complete the improvements to tracts from which sales
have been made is estimated to be $135,000 at April 30, 1997, which pertains to
lots and land previously sold.
The Company is required to provide improvements in settlement of
litigation (see Note 11) regarding future Government permits for assets sold in
its Florida sale. The estimated $278,214 cost of these improvements is
included in the accompanying balance sheet.
Anticipated expenditures for land improvements to complete all of the
areas from which sales have been made through April 30, 1997 are expected to be
incurred in the year ending April 30, 1998. These anticipated expenditures do
not include any future expenditures on new communities or areas in existing
communities which have not yet been offered for sale.
NOTE 8 - Income Taxes
The Company had net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax
purposes of $4,645,809 and $7,626,356 at April 30, 1997 and April 30, 1996,
respectively. The state net operating loss carryforwards expire in years 2002
through 2010. The Company has recorded a deferred tax liability for the
expected reversal of the taxable temporary differences. For financial
reporting purposes, a valuation allowance has not been recognized to offset the
deferred tax asset related to the net operating loss carryforwards.
The provision for income taxes consists of the following:
Income taxes 1997 1996
Current $ 1,918,477 $ 1,289,010
Deferred (1,179,481) (624,114)
--------- ---------
Total provision $ 738,996 $ 664,896
========= ========
Significant components of the Company's deferred tax liability as of April
30, 1997 and April 30, 1996 are as follows:
Tax effect of 1997 1996
Net Operating Loss
Carryforwards $ (268,552) $ (464,715)
Taxable Temporary Differences:
Differences in the timing
of Profit Recognition of
Sale of Real Estate 805,558 914,138
Differences in Land Basis 2,813,508 5,111,353
Depreciation 18,870 461,363
Deferred Compensation 0 (699,445)
Other (56,148) (50,497)
---------- ----------
Net Deferred Tax Liability $ 3,313,236 $ 5,272,197
========== =========
Deferred tax expenses results from temporary differences in the recognition
of certain items for tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred income
tax liability was reduced during the current year as a result of the transfer
of assets agreement discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. This reduction of $779,480 to deferred taxes is related to
temporary differences in book and tax bases of land and buildings transferred.
The difference between the total income tax expense and the amount computed
by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to pre-tax income was not
material.
NOTE 9 - Employee Benefit Plans
In the past years, substantially all of the Company's full-time employees
participated in the Company's 401(k) retirement plan. However, during the
current year, the Company terminated its plan due to the decreased number of
employees remaining after the transfer of net assets discussed in Note 3.
The Company has a defined contribution employee profit-sharing plan
(covering all full-time employees) which provides for discretionary
contributions by the Company based on its consolidated net earnings. The
Company made no contribution in the year ended April 30, 1997, and contributed
$53,960 for the year ended April 30, 1996. Subsequent to year end, the Company
terminated the profit sharing plan.
Pursuant to the agreement discussed in Note 3, the Company entered into
employment agreements with J.T. Williams, Jr. and David K. Williams, whereby
they will continue to serve the Company for periods of ten years and three
years, respectively. The employment agreement for J. T. Williams, Jr. will
provide for an annual salary for the first five years of $200,000 and $150,000
thereafter, and the employment agreement for David K. Williams will provide for
an annual salary of $96,242 and an annual bonus of $20,000, in each case plus
cost of living increases of 5% per year.
Additionally, the Company also funds a retirement plan for two key
employees of the Company. The required payments to the employees are being
funded by the purchase of insurance.
NOTE 10 - Stock Options
The Company has a Stock Option Plan which provided for issuance of shares
to employees at prices not less than the fair market value on dates of grant
(not less than 110% of fair market value for options granted to persons owning
10% or more of the Company's common stock.)
The Company granted 25,000 stock options to certain employees at an
exercise price of $5.125 per share, all of which expired during the fiscal
1996. There were no stock options exercised or granted under the plan for
years ended April 30, 1997 and 1996.
On April 24, 1992, the Board of Directors issued a five year non-qualified
option to the President of the Company to purchase 100,000 shares of the
Company's stock for $3.60, which was 10% above the market value on such date.
These options were canceled during the current fiscal year in connection with
the transaction discussed in Note 3.
NOTE 11 - Commitments and Contingencies
In fiscal 1994, a Florida appellate court issued a final order in the
Company's lawsuit with the Department of Community Affairs, State of Florida,
regarding most of the Company's undeveloped property in Florida. Among other
things, the court ruled that sanitary sewer had to be extended to some
properties that had been sold and developed by other developers. As of April
30, 1996 the estimated cost is $278,214, which is included in the accompanying
balance sheet, and is expected to be incurred over the next fiscal year.
The Company is a party to certain other legal proceedings in the ordinary
course of business. In the opinion of management, none of these proceedings
should have a material adverse effect upon the Company.
NOTE 12 - Sale of Florida Properties
On November 14, 1993, the Company entered into two agreements to sell
substantially all of its Florida assets to Capital First, Inc., whose parent
company subsequently became a shareholder of the Company, for approximately
$25.7 million. As of April 30, 1997, approximately $25.4 million of the sale
had closed, with the purchaser assuming approximately $9.2 million of the
Company's debt, on which the Company remains liable; issuing notes to the
Company, secured by a second mortgage on most of the assets purchased, totaling
approximately $8.1 million; and paying approximately $8.1 million in cash. The
notes are payable to the Company over the next 2 years and bear interest at 7%
and 10% per annum. The amount of the notes due the Company at April 30, 1997
was $5.8 million, which is included in notes receivable from related parties in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The remaining $300,000 of the
sale is scheduled to be closed during fiscal 1998, for cash. The Company's
cost of the assets sold, and to be sold, is approximately $18.9 million. The
resulting gross profit is being reported by the Company on the installment
method over 5 fiscal years, beginning with fiscal 1994. At April 30, 1997,
there remains approximately $1.5 million of gross profit to be recognized over
the next 2 years as cash is collected.
Note 13 - Related Party Transactions
During fiscal 1997, the Company sold a building for $550,000 to a company
that later was purchased by Proactive Technologies, Inc., whose President is
Mark A. Conner. The purchaser signed a promissory note in the amount of
$550,000 that is included in notes receivable in the accompanying balance sheet
and that bears interest at 9% per annum. The related unrecognized gain of
approximately $82,000 from the sale of this asset is included in deferred
income on the accompanying balance sheet, and will be recognized upon
collection of the note.
During fiscal 1997, the Company paid $125,000 in consulting fees to
Proactive Technologies, Inc.
NOTE 14 Significant Risks and Uncertainties
As a land developer, the Company is subject to environmental, building,
zoning and real estate sales regulation by, among others, local zoning and
planning authorities, the Division of Georgia Land Sales and various state and
federal environmental protection agencies.
All of the necessary local, state and federal regulatory approvals for the
development of its presently active subdivision projects in Henry County,
Georgia have been secured by the Company. Additional permits and approvals may
be required as new subdivisions are constructed; however, the Company does not
anticipate any difficulty in securing such permits and approvals.
The Company's management is not presently aware of any anticipated
revocation or amendment of any of its regulatory approvals. However, in the
event that any regulatory approvals presently secured by the Company are
revoked or materially altered, the business of the Company could be adversely
affected.
The Company's business, as well as the real estate industry in general, is
affected by a number of economic factors, including interest rates and
inflation. Interest rates affect both the cost to individuals and builders of
purchasing homes and lots from the Company and the carrying costs of
undeveloped land. During the past fiscal year, interest rates on residential
mortgage loans remained stable. In the past, the Company has increased the
price of lots offered for sale to offset increased inflation. Such increases
reduce the number of persons who are able to afford the lots and homes offered
by the Company. If interest rates and inflation increase substantially, the
real estate and construction industries would be adversely affected and the
Company's ability to sell its real estate could be significantly adversely
affected.
