PART I
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
LINCOLN INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION (LINCOLN), incorporated
in 1960, is engaged in the management of agricultural properties
BOURBON STOCK YARDS (Bourbon) located in Louisville, Kentucky.
BOURBON has been in continuous operation for 162 years
and was merged into LINCOLN in 1978.
LINCOLN INTERNATIONAL entered into a lease agreement with
Kentucky Livestock Exchange, a division of Michigan Livestock
Exchange, a Michigan corporation, wherein, LINCOLN leased its
stockyards operations consisting of approximately seven acres with
the term of the lease being for a period of 10 years beginning on
July 15th, 1995, and ending on July 14th, 2005, with provisions for
payment of rent based on monthly pre-tax profits with a minimum
rent provision of $18,000.00 for the first two years.
On October 15, 1996, LINCOLN filed a complaint against
the lessees by which it is alleged that there has been a violation
of the lease agreement, and LINCOLN sought a restraining order,
temporary injunction and compensatory relief which, if not granted,
could cause LINCOLN to lose its prime source of income because of
the increased competition from the operation of the stockyards by
these companies within close proximity of Bourbon's operations.
(See Legal Proceedings Part III). Hearings have been held on
certain portions of this litigation and other hearings have been
set. The lease was amended by agreement and as a partial settlement
of litigation between Lincoln International and Kentucky Livestock
Exchange.
BOURBON is subject to the rules and regulations of and
must file (publicly available) reports with, the Interstate
Commerce Commission (ICC) and the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA). BOURBON'S disposal of its waste materials is
in compliance with federal, state and local environmental laws.
EMPLOYEES:
As of July 31, 1997, LINCOLN employed three (3)
administrative personnel.

and compensatory relief arising from the breach of the lease of
the real estate by Kentucky Livestock Exchange and Michigan
Livestock Exchange, Inc. and sought relief by way of a
Restraining Order and Injunction to prohibit the lessees from
engaging in competitive actions of operating stockyard facilities
within close proximity of Bourbon Stockyards in Louisville,
Kentucky. LINCOLN and Kentucky Livestock Exchange and Michigan
Livestock Exchange, Inc. have reached an agreement on amending
the lease and although there are other portions of the lawsuit

ITEM 7:Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations
Agri-Business
BOURBON STOCKYARD
During July, 1995, Lincoln International Corporation leased the
Bourbon Stockyard operations to Michigan Livestock Exchange.
Net revenue from leasing the stockyard operations for the fiscal
year ended July 31, 1997 was approximately the same as compared to 1996.
Operating costs for the year ended July 31, 1997 decreased by
approximately $49,000 or 25% as compared to 1996. The decrease resulted
from miscellaneous expenses in 1996 associated with the closing of the
operations of the stockyard.
Net revenue for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1996 decreased
approximately $877,800 or 74% as compared to the year ended July 31,
1995.
Operating costs for the year ended July 31, 1996 decreased by
approximately $807,000 or 80% as compared to the year ended July 31,
1995. The income and expense reductions are the result of leasing the
property to Michigan Livestock Exchange.
There were no accounts payable or capital commitments at July
31, 1997. All funds in excess of expenses are available to the parent.
CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS
Revenues from consolidated operations in 1997 decreased approxi-
mately $29,000 or 9% as compared to 1996. There were various
miscellaneous items received in 1996 that were nonrecurring.
Operating costs from consolidated operations for the year ended
July 31, 1997 were down approximately $14,000 from the year ended
July 31, 1996. This was due primarily to reduced depreciation for the
year.
Revenues from consolidated operations in 1996 decreased
approximately $1,061,000 or 78% as compared to 1995. This decrease is
primarily the result of the lease of the Bourbon Stockyard operation.
Operating costs for the year ended July 31, 1996, were down
approximately $1,042,000 or 66% as compared to 1995. This decrease is
primarily the result of the lease of the Bourbon Stockyard operation.
Operating costs, which include amortization and depreciation
account for 148%, 174%, and 114% of net sales and operating revenues for
the years 1997 to 1995 respectively.
There were no capital commitments at July 31, 1997.
Working capital at July 31, 1997 was approximately $89,000 as
compared to approximately $144,000 at July 31, 1996. There were no
defaults on loans payable during the year. The liquidity of the company
will depend on the lease arrangements at Bourbon Stockyards and the
development of the remaining property owned by the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Lincoln International Corporation
Louisville, Kentucky
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Lincoln
International Corporation listed in the accompanying index to
Financial Statements (Item 14(a)) as of July 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended July 31, 1997. 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 financial statements listed in the accompanying
Index to Financial Statements (Item 14(a)) present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Lincoln
International Corporation as of July 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1997, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in
Note 4 to the financial statements, there is substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
July 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Lincoln International Corporation
Louisville, Kentucky
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Lincoln International Corporation as of July 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
July 31, 1997. 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 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Lincoln International Corporation as of July 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1997, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 13
to the financial statements, there is substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Lincoln International
Corporation (the Company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's
financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations
of the Company's management who is responsible for their integrity and
objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted
accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of
the financial statements.
Company's Activities:
Lincoln International Corporation owns property in the state of Kentucky which
is leased to a stock yard operator. The Company operated the stock yard
through July 15, 1995.
Through April 30, 1995, the Company engaged in the operation of ice cream
franchises in the Midwestern United States. On May 1, 1995, the Company sold
its remaining territories and equipment of the ice cream operation.
Through November 30, 1994, the Company engaged in the operation of a small
consumer loan company in the state of Kentucky. On December 1, 1994, the
Company sold all finance receivables and ceased operations at its one remaining
small consumer loan company.
Use of Estimates:
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements.
Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the
reported revenues and expenses.
Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions are
eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all money market
funds with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Finance Receivables:
All new direct cash loans of the Company have been recorded on the discount-
basis. Income from discount-basis direct cash loans and retail contracts is

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

calculated using a method which approximates the interest method. Accrual of
interest income is suspended when a loan is contractually delinquent for ninety
days or more at which time the loan is converted to interest-bearing. Income
from interest-bearing loans is credited to income as and when collections are
made. Extension fees and late charges on discount-basis direct cash loans and
retail contracts are credited to income when collected. Insurance commissions
are recognized over the terms of the related loans based on the straight-line
method which approximates the interest method.
During the year ended July 31, 1995, the Company sold all finance receivables
and ceased operations as a small consumer loan company.
Property, Plant and Equipment:
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided
over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings and improvements 20-40 years
Yard and administration building 10-55 years
Leasehold improvements 3-5 years
Machinery and equipment 3-12 years
The Company uses the straight-line method of computing depreciation for
financial statement purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes.
Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the
lease term.
Income Taxes:
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. Investment tax
credits are treated as a reduction of the tax provision in the year in which
the benefit is earned (flow-through method). Separate state income tax returns
are filed for the Company and each subsidiary.
Earnings Per Share:
Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during each year.
