PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
GENERAL
Capital Reserve Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws
of the State of Colorado on August 3, 1982, for the purpose of operating as a
financial services holding company.
On April 20, 1988, the Company completed its public offering of 6,000 units
of equity securities (the "Units"), each Unit consisting of 50 shares of Common
Stock and a variable number of Warrants. Each Warrant entitled the holder to
purchase one-tenth of one share of Common Stock at a price of $1.00 until
September 22, 1991. A total of 4,002 Units (consisting of 200,100 shares of
Common Stock and 1,250,250 Warrants) were sold at a price of $500 per Unit,
resulting in gross proceeds and net proceeds of $2,001,000 and $1,715,931,
respectively. However, as of September 30, 1989, the Company had not received
uncollected stock subscriptions totalling $15,000 for 30 Units (1,500 shares of
Common Stock and 6,000 Warrants). This amount was reduced from stockholders'
equity; therefore, the total number of Warrants exercisable was 1,244,250. The
Warrants expired September 22, 1991 without any being exercised.
Effective June 29, 1988, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock
of First West Financial Services, Inc. and its subsidiary, First West Life
Insurance Company, ("First West Life") in exchange for 100,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock with an estimated fair market value of $10.00 per share,
$931,304 cash, and a liability to the former shareholders of First West Life of
$459,000. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of First West Life,
the Company agreed to pay the former shareholders of First West Life an
additional $150,000 if a certain price ($20.00 per share) and marketability of
the stock issued in the Exchange was not attained at the end of two years after
the date of the Exchange (June 29, 1990). See Item 3. Legal Proceedings, Item
12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Item 7. Financial
Statements herein and the Notes included therein. The Company also incurred
acquisition costs of $26,585 for legal and actuarial fees. This transaction was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
During the quarter ended September 30, 1988, the Company invested $30,000
in 300,000 shares (100%) of the Class B common stock of Premier Capital
Investment Corporation, a Colorado corporation ("Premier"). The holders of the
shares of Class B common stock have the right to elect a majority of the Board
of Directors of Premier. On August 31, 1990, Premier completed a private
offering of its common stock and common stock purchase warrants, resulting in
gross proceeds of $1,272,500 and net proceeds of $1,235,738. It was proposed to
use such capital to acquire business opportunities, primarily in the financial
services industry. On June 10, 1992, the Company sold 2,500 shares of its
ownership of Premier Class B common stock and converted the remaining 297,500
shares of Class B common stock into 2,677,500 shares of Class A common stock of
Premier (approximately 34% of the total outstanding Class A common stock). See
Item 3. Legal Proceedings and Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or
Plan of Operation.
Effective December 31, 1988, First West Financial Services, Inc. was merged
into the Company, and First West Agency, Inc., a subsidiary of First West Life,
was merged into Capital Reserve Marketing Corporation, an existing wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company.
From September 10, 1990 to November 30, 1990, the Company offered in a
private placement 9-1/4% Senior Convertible Subordinated Notes due October 31,
1995 (the "Notes"). A total of $65,500 principal amount of Notes were sold in
1990. The Company sold additional Notes in the principal amounts of $500 and
$6,000 in 1991 and 1992, respectively. The Notes were in registered form and
were convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock at any time through
October 31, 1995, at a conversion price of $9.09 per share, subject to
adjustment. Interest was payable semi-annually, commencing May 1, 1991. The
Company redeemed all of the Notes on November 30, 1994. The Notes were
unsecured and subordinated to all indebtedness for money borrowed.
2
<PAGE>
From May 18, 1993 to December 31, 1993, the Company offered in a private
placement 8.25% Senior Convertible Subordinated Notes due December 31, 1998. A
total of $10,000 principal amount of these Notes were sold in 1993. The Notes
were in registered form and were convertible into shares of the Company's Common
Stock at any time through December 31, 1998, at a conversion price of $9.09 per
share, subject to adjustment. Interest was payable semi-annually, commencing
January 1, 1994. The Company redeemed all of the Notes on November 30, 1994.
The Notes were unsecured and subordinated to all indebtedness for money
borrowed.
During the quarter ended September 30, 1990, First West Life Insurance
Company of New Mexico ("FWLNM") was formed by First West Life as a wholly-owned
subsidiary. FWLNM applied for a certificate of authority to solicit life and
accident and health insurance on August 14, 1990. Final approval was received
on March 8, 1991. FWLNM offered the same kinds of insurance as First West Life.
Effective October 1, 1990, the Company implemented a 1-for-10 reverse stock
split of the Company's Class A Common Stock and changed the par value of both
the Class A Common Stock and Class B Preferred Stock from $.01 par value to no
par value. The share amounts stated herein have been adjusted to reflect this
reverse stock split.
On December 31, 1992, the Company sold 50.2% of its investment in the
common stock of First Guaranty Income Corporation ("FGI") (formerly Capital
Reserve Investment Corporation) to Premier for $1,760 of debt forgiveness.
Accordingly, the Company changed its method of accounting for its investment in
Premier and FGI to the equity method from that of consolidating the accounts of
Premier and FGI with the accounts of the Company. See Item 6. Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
As of December 1, 1993, the Company sold its remaining interest in FGI to
Philip A. Bates for $100 cash and converted the $22,076 debt owed by FGI to the
Company into 11,038 shares of FGI Class B Preferred Stock. See Item 6.
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation and Item 12. Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions.
As of August 17, 1994, the Company dissolved Flexible Benefits, Inc., which
was a wholly-owned subsidiary. This company had been a third party
administrator of plans under Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code.
SALE OF FIRST WEST LIFE
On October 14, 1994, the Company sold the issued and outstanding capital
stock of First West Life to Old Reliance Insurance Company, an Arizona domiciled
insurance company ("Old Reliance") for $1,227,301 in cash. The purchase price
was the result of arm's length negotiation between the Company and Old Reliance.
Old Reliance is not affiliated with Capital Reserve, any of its affiliates, or
any director or officer of Capital Reserve. The sale of First West Life
included the sale of FWLNM. As a condition to closing, approvals were obtained
from the Department of Insurance for the States of Colorado, New Mexico, and
Arizona.
The Company determined that it could not maintain capital and surplus
requirements for First West Life and therefore sold First West Life for the best
price possible. An administrative proceeding was initiated in May 1993 before
the Division of Insurance for the State of Colorado against First West Life to
determine whether its license should be revoked or suspended. Among other
things, it was alleged that First West Life failed to meet the minimum capital
and surplus requirements required by statute for life insurance companies as of
March 31, 1993. On October 6, 1993, First West Life entered into a Confidential
Stipulation for Final Agency Order which allowed First West Life to increase its
capital and surplus over an extended period of time to meet statutory
requirements. Management of First West Life deemed this resolution to be
favorable to the Company.
Accordingly, at December 31, 1994, the only wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company was Capital Reserve Marketing Corporation. Capital Reserve Marketing
Corporation formerly offered a cancer policy. This subsidiary is currently
inactive, but continues to receive income from the renewals of the cancer
policies it previously sold.

EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1994, the Company and its subsidiary had 2 full-time

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
On November 7, 1991, First West Life purchased the building and land at
7860 East Berry Place, Englewood, Colorado, for $361,285. The land is comprised
of .934 acres, more or less, and the building contains approximately 13,586
square feet of rentable office space. The building currently houses all of the
operations of the Company, which occupy 3,740 square feet. First West Life
transferred the property to the Company on October 14, 1994 as an extraordinary
dividend to the Company by special warranty deed. There are no mortgages,
liens, or encumbrances against this property. In the opinion of management of
the Company, the property is adequately covered by insurance.
As of March 28, 1995, approximately 96% of the property was occupied,
including the space used by the Company. Five tenants each occupy ten percent
or more of the rentable space as follows:

Annual realty taxes are $16,590, based on a mill levy rate of 141.965.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On March 10, 1995, Joseph T. Flynn initiated a lawsuit in the District
Court in the City and County of Denver, State of Colorado, against the Company
and Ralph W. Newton, Jr. The suit pertains to the Stock Exchange Agreement,
pursuant to which the Company acquired First West Life in 1988. See Item 13.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. Mr. Flynn alleges that the
Company breached its contract with him by failing to pay him $150,000, and
further alleges that there are shares owed to him pursuant to the contract. Mr.
Flynn has further alleged against the Company a claim for specific performance,
deceit based on fraud, breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing, unjust
enrichment, and conversion. Mr. Flynn is seeking appointment of a receiver for
the Company, compensatory and consequential damages, punitive damages, interest,
and an award of his costs and attorney's fees. The Company has not yet filed an
answer to the complaint, but plans to contest vigorously its liability.
The other parties to the Stock Exchange Agreement, Dennis Haley and Donald
Yee, who were the other former owners of First West Life, previously threatened
to file lawsuits similar to Mr. Flynn's, but settled with the Company during the
quarters ended June 30, 1994 and September 30, 1994, respectively. Mr. Haley
was paid $117,000 in full satisfaction of all obligations and to acquire his
stock in the Company. Mr. Yee was paid $128,000 in full satisfaction of all
obligations and to acquire his stock in the Company.
The financial statements of the Company already reflect the liability
arising from the Stock Exchange Agreement, as well as the issuance of the shares
of Common Stock. The Company anticipates that its ultimate liability to Messrs.
Flynn, Haley and Yee will not exceed the liability already reflected on the
financial statements.
On September 29, 1995, various individuals filed a suit in the United
States District Court for the District of Nebraska against Premier Capital
Investment Corporation, Capital Reserve Corporation, Ralph W. Newton, Jr., Henry
W. Hall, Philip A. Bates, Donald Yee, Linda M. Opfer, and Dennis G. Haley. The
litigation relates to the offer and sale of securities of Premier Capital
Investment Corporation ("PCIC"), which was formerly a subsidiary of the Company,
during the period of approximately 1988 through 1992. The complaint generally
alleges fraud in connection with the sale of the securities of PCIC and asserts
liability under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act
("RICO"), as well as several common law theories. The Company is vigorously
defending the suit. Plaintiffs are seeking damages against all defendants in an
aggregate amount of up to $2,400,000, together with interest, costs, and
attorneys fees.

The above quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up,
mark-down, or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.
As of February 22, 1995, there were 653 record holders of the Company's
Common Stock.
During the last two fiscal years, no cash dividends have been declared on
the Company's Common Stock.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
GENERAL
On October 14, 1994, the Company sold the issued and outstanding capital
stock of First West Life to Old Reliance Insurance Company, an Arizona domiciled
insurance company ("Old Reliance") for $1,227,301 in cash. The purchase price
was the result of arm's length negotiation between the Company and Old Reliance.
Old Reliance is not affiliated with Capital Reserve, any of its affiliates, or
any director or officer of Capital Reserve. The sale of First West Life
included the sale of FWLNM. As a condition to closing, approvals were obtained
from the Department of Insurance for the States of Colorado, New Mexico, and
Arizona.
The Company determined that it could not maintain capital and surplus
requirements for First West Life and therefore sold First West Life for the best
price possible. An administrative proceeding was initiated in May 1993 before
the Division of Insurance for the State of Colorado against First West Life to
determine whether its license should be revoked or suspended. Among other
things, it was alleged that First West Life failed to meet the minimum capital
and surplus requirements required by statute for life insurance companies as of
March 31, 1993. On October 6, 1993, First West Life entered into a Confidential
Stipulation for Final Agency Order which allowed First West Life to increase its
capital and surplus over an extended period of time to meet statutory
requirements. Management of First West Life deemed this resolution to be
favorable to the Company.

<PAGE>
Due to the sale of First West Life, the statements of operations and cash
flows have been restated for the year ended December 31, 1993 to recognize the
operations discontinued during 1994. The statements of stockholders' equity
have been adjusted at January 1, 1993 and the net loss for the year ended
December 31, 1993 have been restated for prior period adjustments.
As part of the Company's preparation of audited financial statements as of
and for the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company was to have audited the
financial statements of First West Life through the date of sale. However, the
books and records of First West Life were turned over to the purchaser (which is
located out of state) at the time of sale, thereby making it burdensome and
expensive to audit the First West Life financial statements. Given the
Company's limited resources, management of the Company has determined not to
audit the First West Life financial statements for 1994 through date of sale.
Accordingly, the financial statements of the Company as of and for the year
ended December 31, 1994 are not complete.
In addition, the Company discovered that its December 31, 1993 life
insurance reserves and related actuarial items may not have been calculated in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company does not
know whether this problem is material. It cannot quantify the calculation
discrepancies without having to re-calculate reserves and other actuarial items
going back several years. Again, given the Company's limited resources,
management of the Company has determined not to perform the re-calculation.
LIQUIDITY
As a result of the sale, certain assets which previously had been held by
the insurance subsidiary were retained by the Company, primarily consisting of a
commercial office building used for rental purposes as well as the Company's
office, and a mortgage loan from a related party in the amount of $90,000.
Future liquidity requirements of the Company will be met from investment
earnings generated on the proceeds received on the sale of First West Life,
rental operations, and commission income on insurance business generated by
Capital Reserve Marketing Corporation.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had working capital of $541,969, as a
result of the sale of First West Life as described above.
The Company has been sued in connection with the Stock Exchange Agreement,
pursuant to which the Company acquired First West Life in 1988. Prior to
adjustment, the balance of the liabilities incurred in connection with the
acquisition was $559,000 plus $196,137 in accrued interest. The Company is
contesting these liabilities as of December 31, 1994. Interest expense of
$114,445, that was previously recorded, has been reversed as other income in
1994. Payments made in 1991 through 1994 totaling $41,385, which were
previously recorded as reductions to accrued interest, have been adjusted to
reduce the notes payable. After adjustment, the balance of the liabilities are
$508,615 and no accrued interest. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings and the
financial statements filed with this report.
Prior to the sale of First West Life and FWLNM, the liquidity requirements
of the Company had been met primarily by cash flows from operations of its life
insurance subsidiaries. These internal sources of liquidity were complemented
in 1990 from the sale of $65,500 principal amount of Senior Convertible
Subordinated Notes by the Company with additional amounts sold in 1991 of $500
and in 1992 of $6,000, and in 1993 of $10,000.
Cash requirements at the parent company level for interest on indebtedness,
debt repayment and overhead were a key factor in the Company's overall liquidity
situation. For periods ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, the aforementioned
items totaled $728,250 and $433,962, respectively. Operating expenses incurred
at the parent company level were reimbursed by means of a management fee charged
by the parent to the subsidiary. The management fees paid to the parent for the
years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $357,348 and $463,000, respectively.

<PAGE>
Cash flows from continuing operations during 1994 and 1993 reflect net cash
used of $(436,770) and $(287,418), respectively, while cash flows from investing
activities for the same periods were $(61,402) and $7,197, respectively.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company issued senior convertible subordinated Notes with interest
rates ranging from 8-1/4% to 9-1/4% under various private placement offerings.
Due dates of these notes ranged from October 31, 1995 to December 31, 1998. At
December 31, 1993, the Company had outstanding Notes of $82,000. These Notes
were redeemed on November 30, 1994.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The Company adopted new standards on accounting for income taxes,
accounting and reporting for reinsurance and accounting for investments in debt
and equity securities during 1993. Prior year statements were not restated.
The cumulative effect of these changes at January 1, 1993 increased the
component of stockholders' equity titled "Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
of Investments" by $208,291 and decreased retained earnings by $(13,166).
PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS AND CHANGES IN ESTIMATES
As indicated in Note C of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and
Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, adjustment were made to
the liabilities incurred in connection with the acquisition of First West Life.
Interest expense of $114,445, which was improperly recorded previously, has been
recorded as miscellaneous income. Payments made in 1991 through 1994 totaling
$41,385, which were previously recorded as reductions to accrued interest, have
been adjusted to reduce the principal amount of the note payable.
FISCAL YEAR 1994 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1993
The Company's net operating loss for 1994 increased by approximately 76.5%
due to significantly increased general and administrative expenses, $150,000 of
which was an extraordinary bonus paid to an officer of the Company. The
increased 1994 net operating loss was offset by other income of $124,006. This
resulted in a $327,418 loss from continuing operations in 1994, as compared to a
loss of $319,661 in 1993. As explained above, other income for the 1994 fiscal
year included $114,445, which related to an adjustment of interest expense
recorded previously. See "Liquidity" above.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
Please refer to pages beginning with F-1.
ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
On December 1, 1994, the Company engaged John M. Hanson & Company, P.C. to
audit the Company's financial statements for the year ending December 31, 1994.
The Company did not consult with John M. Hanson & Company, P.C. on any matters
during the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period
preceding the engagement of this firm.
At the same time, the Company dismissed Miller and McCollom, which had
audited the Company's financial statements for the years ending 1988 through
1993. None of the reports on the financial statements for the last two years
contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. The decision
to change accountants was approved by the Company's board of
8
<PAGE>
directors. Except for the situation described below, during the two most recent
fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding the change, there was
no disagreement with the former accountants on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former
accountants, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of
the disagreement in connection with its reports.
The Company discovered that its December 31, 1993 life insurance reserves
and related actuarial items may not have been calculated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. The Company does not know whether
this problem is material. It cannot quantify the calculation discrepancies
without having to re-calculate reserves and other actuarial items going back
several years. Given the Company's limited resources, management of the Company
has determined not to perform the re-calculation. In light of these
circumstances, Miller and McCollom has declined to reissue its report related to
the 1993 financial statements.

There are no outstanding stock options.
There are no employment agreements with any of the Company's executive
officers.
The Company does not pay non-officer directors for their services as such
nor does it pay any director's fees for attendance at meetings. Directors are
reimbursed for any expenses incurred by them in their performance as directors.
STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Company has adopted an Incentive Stock Option Plan ("ISOP") and Non-
Qualified Stock Option Plan ("Non-Qualified Plan"). Both the ISOP and the Non-
Qualified Plans permit the Board of Directors or a committee of directors (the
"Committee") to grant stock options to key management employees of the Company.
Such individuals will be selected from employees (excluding directors who are
not full-time employees of the Company) who have technical, managerial,
supervisory, or professional responsibilities.
It is intended that all options granted under the ISOP will qualify as
incentive stock options under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended. Options for up to 18,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued under
the ISOP. If any such options are issued, they may be exercised at a price that
is not less than 110% of the fair market value of the stock on the day the
option is granted.
Options granted under the Non-Qualified Plan which are presently
exercisable, are not intended to qualify as incentive stock option plans under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock which may be subject to options under the Non-Qualified Plan is
18,000. If any such options are issued, they are to be exercised at a price of
$5.00 per share.
As of the date of this Annual Report, no options have been granted under
either plan.
Under both Plans, the Board of Directors grants options only to individuals
who, in the judgment of the Committee, have made significant contributions to
the Company. There is no formula for determining the number of options to be
granted under the Plans. Options are anticipated to be granted on the basis of
annual performance reviews. Any grants of options will reflect the Committee's
judgment (in its sole discretion) of the relative value of the contribution of
the grantee in respect to such matters as revenue production and expense
control.
ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
TRANSACTIONS WITH FIRST WEST LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
After negotiations which began on April 21, 1988, the Company acquired 100%
of the outstanding stock of First West Financial Services, Inc. ("FWFS") and its
subsidiary, First West Life, on June 10, 1988, in exchange for 100,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock with an estimated fair market value of $10.00 per
share, $931,304 cash, and a liability to the former shareholders of First West
Life of $459,000. The due date of the liability to the former shareholders of
FWFS is contingent upon the Company selling those shares purchased from First
West Life under the Stock Exchange Agreement back into treasury of First West
Life at the time of effecting further surplus relief in the amount of $300,000,
or more, through the existing modified coinsurance contract with Beneficial Life
Insurance Company upon terms acceptable to the Commissioner of Insurance, or the
sale of the life insurance business book at no less than $1.8 million, or
effectuation of not less than $1.4 million of surplus relief through a
replacement insurance or coinsurance contract with Security Life Insurance
Company, or another reinsurer. In connection with the Exchange, the Company
agreed to pay the former shareholders of First West Life an additional $150,000
if certain price ($20.00 per share) and marketability of the stock issued in the
Exchange was not attained by June 29, 1990. At December 31, 1989, the Company
reduced the value of the Common Stock issued for the acquisition and recorded
the additional $150,000 due the former shareholders of First West Life as a
liability (the "Additional Liability").
Prior to adjustment, the balance of the liabilities incurred in connection
with the acquisition was $559,000 plus $196,137 in accrued interest. The
Company is contesting these liabilities as of December 31, 1994. Interest
expense of $114,445, that was previously recorded, has been reversed as other
income in 1994. Payments made in 1991 through 1994 totaling $41,385, which were
previously recorded as reductions to accrued interest, have been adjusted to
reduce the notes payable. After adjustment, the balance of the liabilities are
$508,615 and no accrued interest. The Company has settled with two of the three
original shareholders of First West Life by paying a total of $245,000 cash.
The shareholders have returned their shares of the Company's Common Stock. See
Item 1. Description of Business, Item 3. Legal Proceedings, Item 7. Financial
Statements, including the Notes thereto, and Item 11. Security Ownership of
Certain Beneficial Owners and Management. See "Transactions with Officers,
Directors, and Shareholders" below.
The Order approving the Stock Exchange Agreement was signed by the
Commissioner of Insurance on June 29, 1988. Effective December 31, 1988, FWFS
was merged into the Company, and First West Agency, Inc., a subsidiary of First
West Life, was merged into Capital Reserve Marketing Corporation, an existing
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Joseph T. Flynn and Associates, Ltd., an actuarial consulting firm owned
100% by Joseph T. Flynn who was a director of the Company from August 25, 1993
to October, 1994 and is currently the owner of more than 5% of the outstanding
Common Stock, provided actuarial consulting services to First West Life, for
which Joseph T. Flynn and Associates, Ltd. received cash consideration.
TRANSACTIONS WITH PREMIER CAPITAL INVESTMENT CORPORATION
During the quarter ended September 30, 1988, the Company invested $30,000
in 300,000 shares (100%) of the Class B common stock of Premier Capital
Investment Corporation, a Colorado corporation ("Premier"). The holders of the
shares of Class B common stock have the right to elect a majority of the Board
of Directors of Premier. On August 31, 1990, Premier completed a private
offering of its common stock and common stock purchase warrants, resulting in
gross proceeds of $1,272,500 and net proceeds of $1,235,738. It is proposed to
use such capital to acquire business opportunities, primarily in the financial
services industry. On June 10, 1992, the Company sold 2,500 shares of its
ownership of Premier Capital Investment Corporation ("Premier") Class B common
stock and converted the remaining 297,500 shares of Class B common stock into
2,677,500 shares of Class A common stock of Premier (approximately 34% of the
total outstanding Class A common stock). See Item 6. Management's Discussion
and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
13
<PAGE>
Certain officers and directors of the Company were also officers and
directors of Premier. In years prior to 1993, the Company provided building
occupancy and personnel services and was reimbursed by Premier through a
management fee. Total management fee received from Premier in 1992 was $27,120.
Amounts payable to Premier at December 31, 1993 and 1992 were $-0- and $88,564,
respectively. At December 31, 1993, the Company reflected a loan receivable
from Premier in the amount of $23,698.
TRANSACTIONS WITH FIRST GUARANTY INCOME CORPORATION
On December 31, 1992, the Company sold 50.2% of its investment in the
common stock of First Guaranty Income Corporation ("FGI") (formerly Capital
Reserve Investment Corporation) to Premier for $1,760 of debt forgiveness.
Accordingly, the Company changed its method of accounting for its investment in
Premier and FGI to the equity method from that of consolidating the accounts of
Premier and FGI with the accounts of the Company. See Item 6. Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
As of December 1, 1993, the Company sold its remaining investment in FGI to
Philip A. Bates, the president and a director of FGI, for $100 cash and
converted the $22,076 debt owed by FGI to the Company into 11,038 shares of FGI
Class B Preferred Stock. The Class B Preferred Stock will be converted into two
shares of FGI common stock on December 1, 1998, unless redeemed prior to that
date. FGI may, at its option, redeem all or any portion of the Class B
Preferred Stock by paying the holder $2.00 per share, plus any declared but
unpaid dividends. When and if declared by the board of directors of FGI,
holders of the Class B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cash dividends at
the rate of 10% of the $2.00 par value per annum. Such a dividend is in
preference to and in priority over dividends (other than stock dividends) on the
FGI common stock, but junior to the dividend preference enjoyed by holders of
the FGI Class A Preferred Stock. The Class B Preferred Stock has no voting
rights. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of FGI, the
holders of the Class B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, from the assets
of FGI remaining after paying or providing for the payment of all creditors, and
before any payments to the holders of the FGI common stock but after payment to
the holders of the FGI Class A Preferred Stock, an amount equal to $2.00 per
share, together with an amount equal to any unpaid dividends accrued thereon to
the date of dissolution which have been earned and declared. See Item 6.
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
TRANSACTIONS WITH OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AND SHAREHOLDERS
Prior to the sale of First West Life in October 1994, the Company had a
mortgage note receivable from Donald Yee, a former officer and director of the
Company and owner of more than 5% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, in
the amount of $80,000, acquired by First West Life in April, 1988, in connection
with the Company's acquisition of FWFS. The note bears interest at 9% per annum
and is secured by real estate. Interest only was payable until 1993,
thereafter, monthly principal and interest payments are due until May 20, 2003,
or until the note is paid in full. The note was in the original amount of
$120,000. This note was retained as an asset of First West Life.
Prior to the sale of First West Life in October 1994, the Company was the
holder of an additional mortgage note receivable from Donald Yee in the original
amount of $80,000 acquired by First West Life in April, 1988, in connection with
the Company's acquisition of FWFS. The note bears interest at 9% per annum and
is secured by real estate. Interest only was payable until 1991; thereafter,
monthly principal and interest payments are due until April 1, 2008, or until
the note is paid in full. The note was retained as an asset of First West Life.
On February 22, 1988, First West Life made a mortgage loan to Patricia L.
Newton, an owner of more than 5% of the Company's outstanding Preferred Stock
and wife of Ralph W. Newton, Jr., an officer and director of the Company. The
note evidencing the loan, which is in the original principal amount of $90,000,
bears interest at 2% above the prime rate (adjusted annually), and is secured by
a first deed of trust on residential real estate. Interest only is payable
until the maturity date of February 1, 1998. This loan was paid in full in
December 1994.
14
<PAGE>
On December 31, 1992, the Company entered into a Termination Agreement with
Donald Yee and Sheung K. Yee as a result of the termination of Mr. Yee's
employment with the Company and First West Life. The Company agreed to pay Mr.
Yee accrued vacation and sick leave in the sum of $12,996 and severance pay of
$12,800. With respect to the Additional Liability described in "Transactions
with First West Life Insurance Company" above, the Company agreed to pay Mr.
Yee's share of the Additional Liability, $50,000, at the rate of $3,000 per
month beginning February 28, 1993 and continuing monthly thereafter. Interest
accrues on that amount at the rate of 9% per annum from June 29, 1990. Mr. Yee
submitted his resignation as a director of the Company and all of its
subsidiaries at the time of the Termination Agreement. The Company and Mr. Yee
provided mutual releases to each other. Beginning April 4, 1994, the Company
suspended the payments of $3,000 per month. This obligation was settled during
the quarter ended September 30, 1995, together with Mr. Yee's claim in
connection with the Stock Exchange Agreement. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings and
"Transactions with First West Life Insurance Company" above in this Item 13.

Capital Reserve Corporation
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Capital
Reserve Corporation as of December 31, 1994, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then
ended. 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 audit. The accompanying consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows of Capital Reserve Corporation
for the year ended December 31, 1993, were not audited by us, and, accordingly,
we do not express an opinion on them.
Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit of
the 1994 financial statements 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As part of the Company's preparation of audited financial statements as of
and for the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company was to have audited the
financial statements of First West Life Insurance Company through the date of
sale. However, the books and records of First West Life were turned over to the
purchaser (which is located out of state) at the time of sale, thereby making it
burdensome and expensive to audit the First West Life financial statements.
Given the Company's limited resources, management of the Company has determined
not to audit the First West Life financial statements for 1994 through date of
sale. We were therefore unable to obtain audited financial statements
supporting the loss from operations and disposal of the life insurance segment
stated at $201,060 for the year ended December 31, 1994.
The Company has been informed that there is strong reason to suspect that
the December 31, 1993, life insurance reserves and related actuarial items were
not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
This potential discrepancy could not be quantified. If these items were
misstated at December 31, 1993, the loss from operations and disposal of the
life insurance segment for the year ended December 31, 1994, would also be
misstated.
3
<PAGE>
The Company has not separately disclosed the loss from operations, and the
loss from disposal of the life insurance segment as required by generally
accepted accounting principles. The Company has excluded all footnote
disclosures related to the discontinued life insurance operations, which are
also required by generally accepted accounting principles.
In our opinion, except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, as
might have been determined to be necessary had we been able to examine evidence
regarding the life insurance segment, and except for the omission of information
discussed in the preceding paragraph, the 1994 financial statements referred to
in the first paragraph above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Capital Reserve Corporation as of December 31, 1994, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
The Company (CRC) was incorporated in Colorado in 1982, and operated an
insurance agency and a life insurance company. The insurance business was sold
in 1994, (See Note F). The life insurance agency was retained, but is currently
inactive. At December 31, 1994, the main activity of CRC is renting real
property in Englewood, Colorado, to five tenants with monthly rents from $834 to
$1,345.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include CRC, and its wholly owned
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. The activity of subsidiaries disposed of in 1994 has been
identified as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of
operations and cash flows.
RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The statements of operations and cash flows have been restated for the year
ended December 31, 1993 to recognize operations discontinued during 1994, (See
Note F). The statements of stockholders' equity have been adjusted at January
1, 1993, and the net loss for the year ended December 31, 1993 have been
restated for prior period adjustments (See Note C).
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation has been provided in amounts sufficient to relate the costs of
depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives principally
on the straight-line method. Real estate is depreciated over thirty years, and
other property is depreciated over three to seven years.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. At December 31, 1994, the Company has $646,000 cash and cash
investments in excess of Federally insured amounts.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Generally, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support
customer receivables.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed based on the 646,044
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Fully
diluted earnings per share are not presented because they are anti-dilutive.

NOTE C - PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS AND CHANGES IN ESTIMATES
Effective June 29, 1988, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of
First West Financial Services and its subsidiary, First West Life Insurance
Company, a life insurance company, in exchange for 100,000 shares of the
Company's Class A common stock with an estimated fair market value of
$1,000,000. The Company paid $931,304 in cash and recorded a liability to the
shareholders of the life insurance company of $459,000, accruing interest at 9%.
The due date of this liability was contingent upon the life insurance company
creating a minimum stated surplus or a sale of certain business assets at a
minimum stated amount. The life insurance company was sold in October, 1994
(see Note F).
In connection with the original acquisition of the life insurance company, the
Company had agreed to pay the sellers an additional $150,000 if a certain price
and marketability of the stock issued in the acquisition was not attained at the
end of two years following the date of purchase.
The Company is contesting these liabilities to three stockholders as of December
31, 1994. The Company believes no interest expense will be owed upon final
settlement.
The Company paid one of these stockholders, with a recorded liability of
$183,538, $117,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 1995, in full satisfaction
of all obligations and to acquire his stock in the Company.
The Company paid another of these stockholders, with a recorded liability of
$141,539, $128,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 1995 in full
satisfaction of all obligations, and to acquire his stock in the Company.
The third stockholder, with a recorded liability of $183,538, has filed a civil
action naming the Company as defendant seeking to recover approximately $354,000
for various claims. The Company intends to vigorously defend these claims, and
believes the risk of liability for the total amount is slight.

NOTE E - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The holders of the shares of Class A common stock and Class B preferred stock
are entitled to one vote per share, and each class shares equally in any
dividends declared. Neither class of stock has preemptive rights. In the event
of dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the holders of shares of Class A
common stock shall be paid a liquidation price of $.10 per share before any
assets are distributed to the holders of shares of Class B preferred stock. Any
remaining amount shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of shares of both
Class A common stock and Class B preferred stock. The holders of shares of
Class B preferred stock shall have the right to elect a majority of the
directors of the Company. Each share of Class B preferred stock may be
converted into .8 share of Class A common stock (with appropriate adjustment of
the conversion ratio for any stock splits, stock dividends or recapitalization)
at the option of the holders of the majority of the Class B preferred stock.
NOTE F - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On July 15, 1994, the Company adopted a formal plan to sell its life insurance
operations to an outside party. All of the issued and outstanding stock of
First West Life Insurance Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, First West
Life Insurance Company of New Mexico, was sold on October 14, 1994. The
proceeds received by the Company were $1,227,301. The 1993 financial statements
have been restated to reflect the operations related to the life insurance
activities as a discontinued segment. At December 31, 1994, there are no
remaining assets or liabilities of the discontinued activity.
The loss reserves and related actuarial items were not calculated in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of sale.
Consequently, the Company is unable to separately state loss from operations,
and loss on disposal, of the life insurance segment.
The Company's current actuary has indicated that there is strong reason to
suspect that the December 31, 1993, reserves and actuarial items were not
calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
potential 1993 discrepancy could not be quantified and the impact on the
financial statements is unknown.
The loss reserves and related actuarial items have no effect on the balance
sheet as of December 31, 1994, and the results from continuing operations for
the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 because all of these items related to
discontinued operations.
