SOUTHWARD VENTURES DEPOSITARY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1999
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial
statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management,
are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
a full year. The statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Trust's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.
2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
PENDING LITIGATION
In 1993, the Trust filed a complaint against an individual asserting
claims for conversion and civil theft in relation to computer hardware
and software which was ordered, paid for, but never delivered to the
specified entity . The Trust did not prevail in a jury trial of the
civil theft case. The Trust undertook an appeal of the adverse decision
that was entered on April 15, 1997. On February 24, 1999 the Trust's
appeal was denied.
Since the Trust was not successful in that claim, the defendant's
attorney fees and costs could be assessed against the Trust. In the
opinion of the Trustee, it is not possible at this time to assess the
amount of such fees and costs. However, as the matter has been
vigorously litigated since 1993, these fees and costs could be
substantial and have a material effect on the financial statements. A
Motion to Tax Costs was heard on September 26, 1997. Although the
judgement has not been entered as of this date, it is expected that the
Defendant will be awarded against the Trust approximately $2,634 for
costs plus interest from the date the judgement is signed. The amount of
attorneys' fees to be awarded, if any, will require judicial
determination at a future date.
BAHAMIAN REAL PROPERTY TAXES
The Trust has been advised by the Ministry of Finance of the
Commonwealth of the Bahamas that property taxes pertaining to lots
located on Great Harbour Cay were not included in a prior settlement
that was understood to encompass all of the Trusts' properties on Great
Harbour Cay. The Trust does not currently possess sufficient information
to reasonably estimate the amount of liability to be recorded. However,
the Trust believes that based upon future developments and
determinations, it is possible the amount could have a material effect
on the financial statements.
