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. The lease
agreement is based primarily on the number of head of farm animals
similar to that type of revenue received prior to the execution of
the lease. (See Part IV.)
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).
Prior to the lease agreement of July 15th, 1995,
Lincoln's business consists of that of normal stock yard operations
of handling, receiving, shipping and reshipping, transferring and
yarding of all common types of livestock including cows, feeder
cattle, hogs, feeder pigs, slaughter cattle and sheep and other
related stock yard activities at Louisville, Kentucky (among the
largest in Kentucky). The following schedule sets forth the amount
of receipt of farm animals during 1994 and 1995 prior to the lease
agreement with Michigan Stock Exchange. Since sheep are of such a
small number, they are not included within the receipts comparison.
1994 1995
Feeder cattle 137,676 132,184
Slaughter cattle 52,252 50,745
Hogs 47,664 45,875
Feeder pigs 11,532 11,390
Most of the animals received come from the Kentucky-
Indiana area. There are numerous other smaller yards which provide
little or no competition to BOURBON.
Prior to the lease agreement, income was determined by
the number of animals handled and poor market prices, weather
conditions or disease over an extended period of time could
materially affect the number of animals handled and thus affect its
income. The animals are supplied by many farmers, none of which
account for any material portion of the supply. (See Item 7 of
Part II herein.)
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, 1996, LINCOLN employed three (3)
administrative personnel.

facilities (exclusive of taxes and other charges) was $40,253.
ITEM 3: Legal Proceedings
LINCOLN filed a complaint on October 15, 1996, seeking
injunctive 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. Failure of the court to grant a
restraining order or injunctive relief could materially affect Lincoln's
stockyard operation due to the increased competition within the areas
where the stockyards are to be developed or operated.
Neither LINCOLN nor any of its subsidiaries is engaged in any
other material legal proceedings.
ITEM 4: Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
The only item to be voted on at the annual meeting which will

ITEM 7: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Agri-Business
Bourbon Stockyard
During July, 1995, Lincoln International Corporation
entered into an agreement with Michigan Livestock Exchange
whereby Michigan Livestock Exchange leased the Bourbon Stockyard
operations. During fiscal year 1996 the revenues of Bourbon
Stockyard consisted of rental income.
Net revenue from stockyard operations in 1995 decreased
by approximately $12,000 or 1% from the fiscal year ended July
31, 1994. This decrease in revenue was the result of decreased
receipts of approximately 2,000 head of cattle during the year.
Operating costs for the year ended July 31, 1995 were
down approximately $40,000 or 3% as compared to 1994. The
primary decrease was in the costs of utilities and lost or stolen
cattle.
Bourbon does not have any accounts payable or capital
commitments at July 31, 1996. All funds in excess of expenses
are available to the parent.
Consolidated operations
Revenues from consolidated operations in 1996 decreased
approximately $1,060,543 or 78% as compared to 1995. This
decrease is primarily the result of the lease of the Bourbon
Stockyard operation.
Revenues from consolidated operations in 1995 decreased
approximately $145,000 or 10% as compared to 1994. This decrease
is primarily in the reduced revenue from the finance division.
Operating costs for the year ended July 31, 1996, were
down approximately $1,041,982 or 66% 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, 1995 were
down approximately $10,000 or 1% as compared to 1994. The
primary area of savings was in utilities.
Operating costs, which include amortization and
depreciation account for 174%, 114%, and 105% of net sales and
operating revenues for the years 1996 to 1994 respectively.
The company did not have any capital commitments at
July 31, 1996.
Working Capital at July 31, 1996 was approximately
$144,000 as compared to a negative working capital position of
approximately $117,000 at July 31, 1995. There were no defaults
on loans payable during the year. The liquidity of the company
will depend on the lease arrangement with Michigan Livestock
Exchange 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, 1996 and 1995, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended July 31, 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 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, 1996 and 1995, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1996, 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, 1996, 1995, and 1994
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, 1996 and 1995,
and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended July 31, 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 financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of Lincoln International Corporation as of
July 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended July 31, 1996, 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 15 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.

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

objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted
accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of
the financial statements.

is leased to a stock yard operator. Through July 15, 1995, the Company
operated the stock yard.
Through April 30, 1995, the Company engaged in the operation of ice cream

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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
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.
Other Receivables:
Royalties are recorded as income on the accrual basis. Expenses associated
with franchise fees and royalties are charged as expense as incurred.
Individual unit franchise fees are recorded as income when substantially all
Company obligations have been completed.
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.
Franchise License:
The Company amortizes the license using the straight-line method over 15 years
which is the term of the franchise license agreement.
