Part I
Item 1. DESCRIPTION/BUSINESS.
(a) BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT. Cambridge Holdings, Ltd. the Registrant (the
"Company"), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on June
23, 1980 under the name Jones Optical Company. The Company's name was
changed to Cambridge Holdings, Ltd. in August 1988.
In September 1991, the Company acquired a three-story office building known
as the "Corporate Centre" located on approximately 6.2 acres in Colorado
Springs, Colorado. In 1995, the Company completed the subdivision into two
lots of this property. The Company was not required to perform extensive
work in order to obtain subdivision approval and incurred expenses, primarily
consisting of professional fees, of approximately $7,500. A larger lot,
consisted of approximately 3.8 acres and included the Corporate Centre. The
smaller lot consisted of approximately 2.4 undeveloped acres. In November
1995 the Company sold the smaller lot to Centurion Development Company, an
unaffiliated party, for $700,000. In February 1996, the Company sold the
larger lot to CC Center LLC, an unaffiliated party, for $2,725,000.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the Company purchased two
undeveloped lots in the Vail, Colorado area. Each of these lots has been
conveyed to a limited liability company. The Company is a member of each
limited liability company, together with the Zneimer Company, Inc. an
experienced real estate developer located in Vail. Each of the limited
liability companies is developing a luxury residence for sale.
In July 1997, the Company purchased land in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, for
$925,000, including a mortgage note in the amount of $675,000. The Company
is considering what development activities it will undertake on this land.
(b) Business of the Company. From September 1991 to February 1996, the
Company owned and managed the Corporate Centre, a Class "A" three-story
glass, steel and concrete office building located in north Colorado Springs
adjacent to Interstate 25, the main north-south arterial highway in Colorado
The Company completed the sale of the Corporate Centre and adjacent acreage
in February 1996.
<PAGE>
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the Company purchased in two
separate transactions from two different unaffiliated sellers raw land in an
area known as Cordillera in Eagle County, Colorado west of Vail. Each lot
has been reconveyed to a limited liability company in which the Company is a
member with a 50% interest. Each lot is to be developed with a separate
luxury residence.
The two lots purchased by the Company are known as Lot 2 and Lot 19, which
were purchased for $357,000 and $366,000, respectively. In May 1997, the
Company sold Lot 2 to CVC Lot 2 LLC for its purchase price of Lot 2,
resulting in no gain or loss to the Company. CVC Lot 2 LLC is a limited
liability company organized in Colorado in March 1997. The members of CVC
Lot 2 LLC are the Company and Zneimer Company, Inc., each of which has
contributed $1,000 to the capital of CVC Lot 2 LLC and each of which has a
50% interest in the net profits and losses of CVC Lot 2 LLC. Zneimer
Company, Inc. is the manager of CVC Lot 2 LLC. CVC Lot 2 LLC was formed for
the limited purpose of developing, constructing and selling a residential
dwelling upon Lot 2 unless otherwise agreed to by both members.
In May 1997, the Company conveyed Lot 2 to CVC Lot 2 LLC in consideration for
a promissory note for $357,000 secured by a mortgage on the Lot 2 property.
The note bears interest at the prime rate at the Firstbank of Avon, as
changed from time to time, which commenced at 8.5%. The note is due on the
earlier of sale of the property or December 31, 1998. CVC Lot 2 LLC has
obtained a construction loan of $963,700 from the Firstbank of Avon,
Colorado, which construction loan has been guaranteed by Zneimer Company,
Inc. and its sole shareholder Edward J. Zneimer. The construction loan bears
interest at the prime rate of the Firstbank of Avon as changed from time to
time, which commenced at 8.5%. The construction loan matures on May 10, 1998
and is secured by a mortgage on the Lot 2 property. The mortgage held by the
Company to secure its note made by CVC Lot 2 LLC has been subordinated to the
construction loan. Zneimer Company, Inc. and Mr. Zneimer, individually, have
guaranteed 50% of the principal amount of the note made by CVC Lot 2 LLC to
the Company. In the event the capital contributions and proceeds of the
construction loan are insufficient to enable CVC Lot 2 LLC to develop and
sell the Lot 2 property, Zneimer Company, Inc. has agreed with the Company to
purchase a 50% interest in the Company's note from CVC Lot 2 LLC at a
purchase price equal to 50% of the original principal amount, in which event
the guaranty to the Company will be canceled. The Company and Zneimer
Company, Inc. have agreed that they will each contribute such additional
capital contributions to CVC Lot 2 LLC in the form of unsecured loans,
subject to a maximum of $100,000 each, as may be required to complete the
development and sale of the Lot 2 property.
The Lot 2 property is currently under construction and is expected to be
completed in calendar 1997. The general contractor is Integrated Resources
LLC,
<PAGE>
which is owned and managed by Edward J. Zneimer. The residence being
constructed will be a custom-designed single-family home featuring an open,
multi-level floor plan with high ceilings and large covered porches
overlooking the Tom Fazio designed Cordillera Valley Golf Club golf course.
The home will include five bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths, three fireplaces and an
oversized three-car garage. The Lot 2 property has been listed for sale at
$1,750,000.
In August 1997, the Company sold Lot 19 to CVC Lot 19 LLC for its purchase
price of Lot 19, resulting in no gain or loss to the Company. CVC Lot 19
LLC is a limited liability company organized in Colorado in March 1997. The
members of CVC Lot 19 LLC are the Company and Zneimer Company, Inc., each of
which has contributed $1,000 to the capital of CVC Lot 19 LLC and each of
which has a 50% interest in the net profits and losses of CVC Lot 19 LLC.
Zneimer Company, Inc. is the Manager of CVC Lot 19 LLC. CVC Lot 19 LLC was
formed for the limited purpose of developing, constructing and selling a
residential dwelling upon Lot 19 unless otherwise agreed by both members.
In August 1997, the Company conveyed Lot 19 to CVC Lot 19 LLC in
consideration for a promissory note for $366,000 secured by a mortgage on the
Lot 19 property. The note bears interest at the prime rate at the Firstbank
of Avon, as changed from time to time, which commenced at 8.5%. The note is
due on the earlier of sale of the property or December 31, 1998. CVC Lot 19
LLC has obtained a construction loan of $1,019,000 from the Firstbank of
Avon, Colorado, which construction loan has been guaranteed by Zneimer
Company, Inc. and its sole shareholder Edward J. Zneimer. The construction
loan bears interest at the prime rate of the Firstbank of Avon as changed
from time to time, which commenced at 8.5%. The construction loan matures in
1998 and is secured by a mortgage on the Lot 19 property. The mortgage held
by the Company to secure its note made by CVC Lot 19 LLC has been
subordinated to the construction loan. Zneimer Company, Inc. and Mr. Zneimer,
individually, have guaranteed 50% of the principal amount of the note made by
CVC Lot 19 LLC to the Company. In the event the capital contributions and
proceeds of the construction loan are insufficient to enable CVC Lot 19 LLC
to develop and sell the Lot 19 property, Zneimer Company, Inc. has agreed
with the Company to purchase a 50% interest in the Company's note from CVC
Lot 19 LLC at a purchase price equal to 50% of the original principal amount,
in which event the guaranty to the Company will be canceled. The Company and
Zneimer Company, Inc. have agreed that they will each contribute such
additional capital contributions to CVC Lot 19 LLC in the form of unsecured
loans, subject to a maximum of $100,000 each, as may be required to complete
the development and sale of the Lot 19 property. CVC Lot 19 LLC has
appointed Integrated Resources LLC as the general contractor. The Lot 19
property is currently under construction and should be completed within the
next year. The residence to be constructed will be a custom-designed
single-family home similar to the home being constructed on Lot 2.
<PAGE>
The lots are located in Cordillera, a mountain-top community of 1 to 11-acre
home sites and custom-designed residences, tennis courts, 15 miles of hiking
and cross-country ski trails, a fly-fishing river, mountain bike and nature
trails. The lots are being developed in a golf community planned with care
for natural aesthetic values. Accordingly, the home sites in the community
are being developed to minimize the impact of development upon the varied
vegetation and indigenous wildlife unique to the area. Deer and elk grazing
and calving areas have been carefully preserved along with native grasses,
shrubs and trees. The home sites in the community have been planned to
maximize mountain views, as well as the extensive aspen groves, forests of
fir and spruce, and varied terrain of adjacent canyons and draws which is
characteristic of the area.
Cordillera is located in an area referred to as the "Upper Eagle Valley"
which lies west of Vail. The Vail and Beaver Creek resorts are located 25
and 15 minutes, respectively, by car from Cordillera. Vail was founded in
1962, and is now the nation's largest ski area by acreage of skiable terrain.
The economy of the Upper Eagle Valley is based primarily upon the resort
industry, with major revenues being derived from skiing, real estate
concessions, restaurants, and short-term lodging. Cordillera is primarily a
second home/resort community. As such, it may have a greater than average
susceptibility to general economic conditions, and may be impacted by the
cost, accessibility and continued desirability of area recreational
facilities such as the Vail and Beaver Creek ski areas as well as the private
golf facilities. In addition, there will be significant competition from
other developers in Cordillera as well as other developments in the area,
including some which are in close proximity to Cordillera. The impact of
this competition cannot be assessed because future demand cannot be predicted
with accuracy and the factors influencing the success of each development are
speculative.
Subsequent to the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the Company purchased raw
land in Glenwood Springs, Colorado for $925,000, including a mortgage of
$675,000. The mortgage bears interest at 9% per annum, payable $5,431 per
month and is due on July 15, 1999. There is no prepayment penalty. The
Company expects to enter into an arrangement with Zneimer Company, Inc. for
possible commercial development of this property. The Company has not made a
determination of what type of development will be undertaken on this property.
The Company is currently considering other real estate development
activities, as well as other business opportunities. In addition to real
property acquisitions, the Company may consider the possible acquisition of,
or merger with, another business entity, or other type of business
transactions. The Company does not intend to limit its search to companies
in real estate activities. A substantial amount of time may lapse and the
Company may expend considerable funds for consulting, legal, accounting and
other fees before the Company is able, if at all, to acquire other real
estate interests or businesses outside the real estate industry. From time
to time, the Company also acquires equity securities, which have a
<PAGE>
potential for capital gains or, in some cases, income potential. The Company
has no limitations on the percentage of assets which may be invested in any
one instrument, or type of investment, nor is the Company limited in the
types of real estate in which the Company may invest. The Company's
determination of the method of operating and financing its properties is not
fixed, and will, instead depend on the type of property purchased and the
Company's objective in operating the particular property.
EMPLOYEES. The Company has no full-time employees; however, Gregory
Pusey, the Company's President, devotes a significant amount of time to the
affairs of the Company.
Item 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES.
The Company's administrative activities are conducted at the
Company's corporate headquarters located in Vail, Colorado in space shared by
the Company with an affiliate, Livingston Capital, Ltd. ("Livingston"). The
Company pays Livingston a monthly fee of $750 for its share of rent in
addition to certain overhead administrative expenses. A description of real
estate business activities is included in Item 1.

Item 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
The information set forth in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" below includes "forward looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and is
subject to the safe harbor created by that section. Factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from these contained in the forward
looking statements are set forth in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
The Company's cash and working capital positions were adequate at June
30, 1997. The increase of cash on hand to approximately $1,640,200 at June
30, 1997 from $1,304,300 at June 30, 1996 is primarily a result of maturing
and redemption of commercial paper.
For the period ended June 30, 1997, operating activities generated
negative cash flow of $170,900 as compared to cash flow of $69,000 being used
in the year ended June 30, 1996. The difference was attributable primarily
to the sale of the Company's property in Colorado Springs, Colorado which
resulted in a gain of approximately $1,759,400 in the year ended June 30,
1996. Other factors contributing to the difference in cash used by operating
activities during the year were gains from the sale of investment securities
of approximately $165,800. Prepaid expenses decreased by approximately
$37,100 in the year ended June 30, 1997. The Company had unsettled trades of
investment securities at June 30,1997 of $81,500 compared to $0 at June 30,
1996.
Cash provided in investing activities was approximately $494,600 during
the year ended June 30, 1997 compared to $1,405,800 during the year ended
June 30, 1996. Cash provided during fiscal 1997 from investing activities
was from the maturity of short-term investments of $1,493,700 ,offset by an
increase in notes receivable of $225,000 and investing in real estate
developments of $737,400. In the comparable period in 1996, cash of
$3,182,300 was provided from the sale of the Corporate Centre building. Cash
was used in investing activities of $250,000 for notes receivable and $21,000
for the purchase of equipment and improvements and $13,900 was the amount by
which the cost to purchase exceeded proceeds of the sale of investment
securities. The value of the
<PAGE>
land and securities held by the Company are often highly volatile. In
addition, trading in these securities may be thin or there may be other
impediments to, or restrictions on transfer.
Financing activities during the year ended June 30, 1997 provided cash
of approximately $12,200 which was generated from the exercise of stock
options net of repurchases.
At June 30, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,640,200
and working capital of $3,690,300. Each of CVC Lot 2 LLC and CVC Lot 19 LLC
have obtained debt financing in the amount of $963,725 and $1,019,331
respectively for the construction of a luxury residential property. It was a
condition to the Company's agreement to convey each lot to the applicable
limited liability company that the construction loan for the applicable
property close concurrently with the conveyance of the property. The two
limited liability companies are developing these properties prior to
soliciting buyers for completed residences. There can be no assurances the
properties will be sold promptly, or that profits will be achieved which could
impact adversely the Company's liquidity. In its consideration of potential
business opportunities, the Company expects to consider the potential effect
on its liquidity.
In July 1997, the Company purchased land in Glenwood Springs, Colorado for
$925,000, including a mortgage note of $675,000. The Company is considering
what development activities it will undertake on this land.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
The Company's revenues for the year ended June 30, 1997 totaled
approximately $328,400, consisting of gains on the sale of securities of
approximately $165,800, interest on temporary cash and other money market
instruments of $70,400, dividend income of $91,600 and other income of $600.
Revenues for the year ended June 30, 1996 totaled approximately $2,287,900,
of which approximately $1,759,400 was the gain on the sale of the Corporate
Centre building, rental income recognized up to the time of sale of
approximately $383,100, approximately $101,900 was interest and dividend
income and gains from the sale of marketable equity securities of
approximately $43,500. The increase in interest and dividend income was
attributable to the increased cash on hand from the sale of the real
property. The decrease in rental income of $383,100 was attributable to the
sale of the Corporate Centre building in early February 1996. At the time of
sale, the building's occupancy rate was 100%.
During the years ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996, the Company
incurred operating, general and administrative costs of approximately
$176,200 and $408,100, respectively. The decrease of approximately $231,900
resulted from the reduced overhead and other expenses due to sale of the
Corporate Centre and undeveloped lot in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Interest
expense decreased to approximately $0 for the period from $43,500 in the
comparable
<PAGE>
period in 1996 due to the retirement of the mortgage on the Corporate Centre.
The Company had income before taxes for the year ended June 30, 1997 of
approximately $172,200 as compared with income before taxes of approximately
$1,836,300 for the year ended June 30, 1996.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On March 3, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share"
(SFAS No.128). This pronouncement provides a different method of calculating
earnings per share than is currently used in accordance with Accounting Board
Opinion (APB) No. 15, "Earnings Per Share". SFAS No. 128 provides for the
calculation of "Basic" and "Diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per
share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential
dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity, similar
to fully diluted earnings per share. The Company will adopt SFAS No.128 in
1998 and its implementation is not expected to have a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (SFAS
130), which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is
defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from
investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures,
SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under
current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be
reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence
as other financial statements.
Also, in June 1997, FASB issued SFAS No.131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information" which supersedes SFAS No.14,
"Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise." SFAS No. 131
establishes standards for the way that public companies report information
about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires
reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim
financial statements issued to the public. It also establishes standards for
disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major
customers. SFAS No. 131 defines operating segments as components of a company
about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated
regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate
resources and in assessing performance.
SFAS 130 and 131 are effective for financial statements for periods beginning
after December 15, 1997 and requires comparative information for earlier
years to
<PAGE>
be restated. Because of the recent issuance of the standard, management has
been unable to fully evaluate the impact, if any, the standard may have on
future financial statement disclosures. Results of operations and financial
position, however, will be unaffected by implementation of this standard.

STOCK OPTIONS.
The information concerning the grant of stock options under the Company's
Non-Discretionary Stock Option Plan and its 1988 Stock Option Plan, to the
executive officers is not applicable as Mr. Pusey was not granted any options
in 1997, nor does he hold options from prior years.
<PAGE>
STOCK OPTION PLAN. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1989 the
Company adopted the 1988 Stock Option Plan (the "1988 Plan"). The 1988 Plan
is designed to provide incentives for key employees of the Company. In
September 1992, the shareholders approved an increase from 200,000 to 400,000
in the number of shares issuable pursuant to the 1988 Plan and the
elimination of a provision of the 1988 Plan that limited the number of shares
underlying options that could be granted to any one individual to 40,000
shares in a fiscal year
The 1988 Plan is administered by an Option Committee. The Board of
Directors serves as the Option Committee with respect to options to employees
who are not directors of the Company. With respect to options to employees
who also are directors, however, the 1988 Plan was, on September 12, 1991,
amended to comply with certain rules promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange
<PAGE>
Commission to provide that the 1988 Plan is administered by a committee of
two directors selected by the Board, each of whom shall not have received,
within one year prior to his service on the Committee, options under the 1988
Plan or any other discretionary stock plan of the Company. During the year
ended June 30, 1996, Dr. Altshuler and Mr. Yager served as members of the
Option Committee with respect to options to employees who also were directors.
The Option Committee may adopt rules and regulations for carrying out
the purpose of the 1988 Plan and is authorized, within the limits of the 1988
Plan, to determine the individuals to whom, and the time or times at which,
options will be granted, the number of shares to be subject to each grant
(except as provided below) and the applicable restriction period. In
addition, the Option Committee may determine the purchase price for the
shares subject to the option and specify such other terms and provisions of
any grants of options under the 1988 Plan as it deems necessary or desirable;
provided, however, that grants intended to qualify as incentive stock
options shall not be for less than 100 percent of the fair market value of
the shares underlying the grant on the date of the grant.
The 1988 Plan permits the grant of both incentive stock options
and non-incentive stock options. Incentive stock options may by granted only
to those employees who are regarded by the Committee as "key" employees.
With respect to incentive stock options, the aggregate fair market value
(determined at the time the option is granted) of the stock with respect to
which an incentive stock option first becomes exercisable may not exceed
$100,000 per calendar year. Further, no incentive stock option shall be
granted to an individual if, at the time the option is granted, such
individual owns stock possessing more than 10 percent of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or subsidiary
corporation, within the meaning of Section 422A(b)(6) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the "Code"), unless (i) at the time such option is granted the
option price is at least 110 percent of the fair market value of the stock
subject to the option and (ii) such option by its terms is not exercisable
after the expiration of five years from the date of grant.
All the outstanding options granted pursuant to the 1988 Stock Option
Plan are exercisable at a price of not less than 100 percent of the fair
market value on their respective dates of grant.
NON-DISCRETIONARY STOCK OPTION PLAN. The Board of Directors has adopted a
Non-Discretionary Stock Option Plan pursuant to which the Company is authorized
to grant options to purchase up to an aggregate of 250,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. The Non-Discretionary Stock Option Plan became effective
as of September 12, 1991 and is intended to reward non-employee directors for
their participation and contributions to the Company. The Non-Discretionary
Stock Option Plan provided that, as of the effective date, options to purchase
20,000 were granted shares to each non-employee director of
<PAGE>
the Company. Thereafter, at such time as a person becomes a non-employee
director of the Company, the Company will grant that person options to
purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Dr. Altshuler and Mr.
Yager were each granted options to acquire 20,000 shares at an exercise price
of $.36 per share, the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the
date of grant. However, upon his acceptance of his appointment as a director
on October 23, 1993, Mr. Menefee and the Company agreed that he would be
granted options to acquire 10,000 shares at an exercise price of $.28 per
share. In addition, effective September 1 of each year, commencing 1992,
options to purchase an additional 10,000 shares have been and/or will be
granted options to acquire 10,000 shares on each September 1 on which he
served as a director commencing on September 1, 1992 at an exercise price
equal to fair market value of the Company's common stock on the dates the
options were granted.
Options granted pursuant to the Non-Discretionary Plan are exercisable
in full effective as of the date of grant and expire three years from the
date of grant, except that an option will expire, if not exercised, 90 days
after the optionee ceases to be a director of the Company.
Item 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.
The following table sets forth ownership of the presently issued and
outstanding shares of the Company's $.025 par value common stock held by each
director, individually, and all officers and directors as a group, and all
persons who own five percent or more of the outstanding shares of the

Item 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
Pursuant to an oral agreement with Livingston, which is an affiliate of
Gregory Pusey, the Company pays $750 per month to Livingston for rent and
certain administrative expenses. The Company believes that these
arrangements have been at least as favorable as could be obtained with a
non-affiliated party.
In October 1993, the Company obtained a mortgage on the Corporate Centre
in the amount of $850,000. The loan was guaranteed by Mr. Pusey, subject to
a limit of 40% of the obligation of the Company to the mortgagee. Mr. Pusey
was granted 100,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock in
consideration of the loan guaranty (See Item 10). In February 1996, the
Company sold the Corporate Centre, repaid the loan and retired the mortgage.
Mr. Pusey is a member of the Board of Directors of, and a consultant
for, Nutrition For Life International, Inc., a publicly held company. At
June 30, 1997 the Company held securities of Nutrition For Life,
International, Inc. in the amount of $263,975.

Vail, Colorado
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Cambridge Holdings, Ltd. as
of June 30, 1997 and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the two years 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 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 financial position of Cambridge Holdings, Ltd. at
June 30, 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the two years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUSINESS
The Company was incorporated on June 23, 1980 under the laws of the State of
Colorado. On September 27, 1991, the Company acquired Corporate Centre, a
three story office building located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Corporate
Centre was sold during the year ended June 30, 1996 as discussed in Note 7.
The Company has purchased two undeveloped lots in the Cordillera Valley Club,
located near Vail, Colorado and has contributed the properties to two separate
limited liability companies (LLC's). With their partner in the LLC's, the
Company plans to build a separate luxury residence on each parcel for resale.
The Company also explores other business acquisitions, opportunities and
investments.
CONCENTRATIONS OF
CREDIT RISK
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of
credit risk consist primarily of cash balances in excess of the insurance
provided by governmental insurance authorities. The Company has not
experienced any losses on such accounts.
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 date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
INVESTMENT
SECURITIES
Investment securities classified as available for sale are those securities
that the Company does not have the positive intent to hold to maturity or does
not intend to trade actively. These securities are reported at fair value
with unrealized gains and losses reported as a net amount (net of applicable
income taxes) as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
FAIR VALUES OF
FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS
Unless otherwise specified, the Company believes the book value of financial
instruments approximates their fair value.
PROPERTY AND
OTHER ASSETS
Property was stated at cost with depreciation computed using the straight-line
method over 31.5 years for the building and leasehold improvements amortized
over the life of the lease of 4 to 7 years. Lease commissions were stated at
cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related
lease. Loan acquisition costs were amortized over the life of the loan.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION
Rental income consisted primarily of rentals for office space. Leases included
scheduled base rent increases over the terms of the agreements. The total
amount of rent was recognized as income on the straight line method over the
terms of the leases. Interest and dividend income is

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
recorded on the accrual basis.
INVESTMENT IN
PARTNERSHIP
Investments in partnerships are accounted for by the cost method.
INVESTMENT IN LLC
Investments in LLCs are accounted for under the equity method.
INCOME TAXES
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, the
Company's policy is to provide deferred income taxes related to items that
result in differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets
and liabilities.
NET INCOME
PER SHARE
Net income per common and common equivalent share is based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during each period presented. Options to
purchase stock are included as common stock equivalents, when dilutive.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the accompanying 1996 financial
statements for them to conform to the current year presentation.
STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees," (APB Opinion 25) and related Interpretations in
accounting for all stock option plans. Under APB Opinion 25, no compensation
cost has been recognized for stock options granted as the option price equals
or exceeds the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of
grant.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for

NEW ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS No. 128).
This pronouncement provides a different method of calculating
F-10

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
earnings per share than is currently used in accordance with Accounting Board
Opinion No. 15, Earnings Per Share. SFAS No. 128 provides for the calculation
of "Basic" and "Dilutive" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes
no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that
could share in the earnings of an entity, similar to fully diluted earnings per
share. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 128 in 1998 and its implementation is
not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (SFAS
130), which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is
defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from
investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures,
SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under
current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported
in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements.
Also, in June 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" which supersedes SFAS No.14, "Financial
Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise." SFAS No. 131 establishes
standards for the way that public companies report information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected
information about operating segments in interim financial statements issued to
the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products
and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 defines
operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating
decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance.
SFAS 130 and 131 are effective for financial statements for periods beginning
after December 15, 1997 and requires comparative information for earlier years
to be restated. Because of the recent issuance of the standard, management has
been unable to fully evaluate the impact, if any, the standard may have on
future financial statement disclosures. Results of operations and financial
position, however, will be unaffected by implementation of this standard.
