PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
General
ADMIRAL FINANCIAL CORP. ("ADMIRAL") IS CURRENTLY AN INACTIVE CORPORATION,
WITH NO ONGOING BUSINESS ACTIVITY.
Admiral Financial Corp. was formed in 1987 to acquire an insolvent
savings and loan association in a supervisory acquisition solely with private
investment funds, and without the benefit of any federal assistance payments.
Admiral acquired Haven Federal Savings and Loan Association of Winter Haven,
Florida on June 16, 1988. In that acquisition transaction, Admiral issued
8,000,000 new common shares in exchange for assets (primarily real estate and
a profitable business engaged in the purchase and redemption of Florida tax
sale certificates) having a fair market value of approximately $40 million,
subject to approximately $27 million of mortgages and other liabilities, and
less approximately $1 million of fees and expenses (necessary to provide the
proper forms and documentation in accordance with government rules and
regulations), for a net equity contribution of approximately $12 million.
Admiral then contributed virtually all of these net assets and liabilities to
the capital of Haven, plus an additional 987,000 new common shares of Admiral,
which were simultaneously issued in exchange for 100% of the outstanding
shares of Haven in an approved "supervisory acquisition" of an insolvent
thrift institution. Admiral has had substantially no assets or operations
other than its investment in Haven.
The Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA") was introduced on February 5, 1989, and enacted into law on August
9, 1989. FIRREA imposed more stringent capital requirements upon savings
institutions than those previously in effect. Haven did not meet these new
capital requirements. Because of certain provisions of FIRREA relating
primarily to the disallowance of supervisory goodwill and certain other
intangible assets in the calculation of required net capital, management
estimates that Admiral would have been required under the Agreement to infuse
additional capital of approximately $18 million by December 7, 1989. Admiral
did not infuse any additional capital, and the net assets of Haven were
confiscated by the federal authorities on March 2, 1990.
In the agreement allowing Admiral to acquire Haven in the supervisory
acquisition, Haven was credited with new capital under "Regulatory Accounting
Principles" (RAP) then in effect equal to $11 million. This amount was
computed by taking into account the $13 million fair market value of the net
assets contributed by Admiral to Haven, less the $1 million of fees and costs
incurred, and less an additional $1 million resulting from reduced valuations
of certain of the contributed assets for purposes of calculating Haven's RAP
equity by the appraisal division of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
A condition to the Federal Home Loan bank Board ("FHLBB") Resolution
approving the acquisition of control of Haven by Admiral (the "Agreement")
required that Admiral account for the acquisition of Haven under the
"purchase" method of accounting, whereby an asset in the nature of "Goodwill"
would be realized, generally, to the extent of any previous negative
<PAGE>
net worth of the acquired insolvent thrift, plus the excess of the fair market
values of the contributed assets over their respective historical costs.
Haven's regulatory goodwill of approximately $20 million was, in accordance
with the Agreement, to be amortized against earnings over a period of
twenty-five years.
Another condition to the same Agreement required that Admiral execute a
Regulatory Capital Maintenance/Dividend Agreement which provided certain
remedies if Haven and Admiral were unable to liquidate, on a scheduled basis
ending June 30, 1990, the real estate used by Admiral to capitalize its
acquisition of Haven. The remedies of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance
Corporation ("FSLIC") agreed to by Admiral in the Agreement included the right
of the FSLIC to (I) vote the common stock of Haven; (ii) remove the board of
directors of Haven; and/or (iii) dispose of any or all of the voting
securities of Haven owned by Admiral.
The failure of Admiral and Haven to liquidate the real estate in
accordance with the agreement with the FHLBB could have caused the forfeiture
to the FSLIC of all shares of Haven. If the voting securities of Haven were
so forfeited, the stockholders of Admiral would still hold their shares of
Admiral. However, Admiral would have lost substantially its only asset, and
the shares of Admiral common stock, after such forfeiture, could have had
little or no value.
Under the same Agreement, Admiral was also obligated to cause the
regulatory capital of Haven to be maintained at a level at or above the
minimum regulatory capital requirement and, if necessary, infuse additional
equity capital into Haven.
At all times during Admiral's control , Haven was successful in meeting
the real estate liquidation requirements imposed by the Agreement, including
any extensions of time granted thereunder. However, Haven experienced a $4.3
million erosion of its regulatory capital due in large part to losses
sustained as a result of liquidating the real estate under the "fire sale"
conditions imposed by the Agreement. This loss, together with other operating
losses and goodwill amortization expenses, caused Haven to fail to meet its
minimum capital requirement as of March 31, 1989 and at all times thereafter.
Admiral and Haven continued to abide by the Agreement entered into with the
FHLBB, to its financial detriment, in spite of the United States government's
assertion that the enactment of FIRREA retroactively eliminated the need for
the government (or any of its instrumentalities) to live up to any express or
implied agreements which may have been contrary to the subsequent legislation,
without the necessity of the retroactive return of Admiral's $13+ million of
net capital and expenses invested in Haven.
Admiral was notified by the FHLBB on July 17, 1989 that Admiral was in
default of the Agreement and had 90 days (i.e. until October 16. 1989) to cure
the default. Admiral had virtually no assets other than the stock of Haven,
and has had no other viable means available to cure the default since the
introduction of FIRREA. The net assets of Haven, including
Admiral's $13 million of contributed equity, were confiscated on March 2,
1990.
Admiral and Haven applied for relief from the requirements of the
Resolution and the Agreement. Haven has also applied for regulatory relief
from sanctions imposed by FIRREA for failing to meet the minimum regulatory
capital requirements. Furthermore, Admiral and Haven have also applied for
federal assistance payments under a FIRREA provision for assistanc
e which management believes is directly applicable to Admiral/Haven's current
situation. Admiral received no notice of any hearings prior to the
confiscation of Haven on March 2, 1990.
On August 5, 1993, Admiral filed a Complaint against the United States of
America in the United States Court of Federal Claims, arising in part out
<PAGE>
of contractual promises made to Admiral by the United States' Government,
acting through the Federal Home Loan Bank Board ("FHLBB") and the Federal
Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation ("FSLIC") pursuant to their statutory
supervisory authority over federally insured savings and loan institutions
and savings banks (hereinafter referred to a "thrifts" or "thrift
institutions"), and in part out of takings of property by the FHLBB and FSLIC
in the course of exercising that authority. In this action, Admiral seeks
(1) a declaration that the government's actions constitute a repudiation and
material breach of their contractual obligations to Admiral and, thereby,
effect a taking of Admiral's property without just compensation and a
deprivation of Admiral's property without due process of law, in violation of
the Fifth Amendment, and (2) compensatory damages for the United States'
breach of contract, or (3) rescission of the contract and restitutionary
relief, or (4) compensation for the taking of Admiral's property, or (5)
damages for the deprivation of Plaintiffs' property without due process of
law."
This action was stayed by order of the Court dated September 3, 1993,
pending the en banc decision on rehearing of the Court of Appeal for the
Federal Circuit in Winstar Corp., et al. v. United States, a pending action
which Admiral management believes to contain a substantially similar fact
pattern.
On August 30, 1995, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit, in an en banc decision, affirmed the summary judgment decisions by
the Court of Federal Claims on the liability portion of the breach of contract
claims against the United States in Winstar, and in two other similar cases
(Statesman and Glendale) which had been consolidated for purposes of the
appeal. In its Winstar decisions, the Court of Federal Claims found that an
implied-in-fact contract existed between the government and Winstar, and that
the government breached this contract when Congress enacted FIRREA. In
Statesman and Glendale, that Court found that the Plaintiffs had express
contracts with the government which were breached by the enactment of FIRREA.
The federal government appealed the Winstar decisions to the United
States Supreme Court. On November 14, 1995, Admiral's action (and all other
similar actions) was stayed by order of the Court, pending the outcome of that
appeal.
On July 1, 1996, the United States Supreme Court concluded in Winstar
that the United States is liable for damages for breach of contract, affirmed
the summary judgment decisions in Winstar, and remanded the cases to the Court
of Federal Claims for further hearings on the calculation of damages. The
majority of the Court found "no reason to question the Federal Circuit's
conclusion that the Government had express contractual obligations to permit
respondents to use goodwill and capital credits in computing their regulatory
capital reserves. When the law as to capital requirements changed, the
Government was unable to perform its promises and became liable for breach
under ordinary contract principles."
Subsequent to the United States Supreme Court decision in Winstar, the
stay on Admiral's litigation proceedings has been lifted. While the Supreme
Court's ruling in U.S. v. Winstar Corp., et al., serves to support Admiral's
legal claims in its pending lawsuit against the federal government, it is not
possible at this time to predict what effect the Supreme Court's ruling, and
the subsequent rulings of a lower court concerning damages, will have on the
outcome of Admiral's lawsuit. Notwithstanding the Supreme Court's ruling,
there can be no assurance that Admiral will be able to recover any funds
arising out of its claim and, if any recovery is made, the amount of such
recovery.
Since Haven was the only significant asset owned by Admiral, the Admiral
common stock has little or no continuing value.
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Admiral has been reduced to a corporate "shell," with no operations or
current activity. There is no corporate liquidity, no available capital
resources, and no immediately foreseeable prospects for the future improvement
of Admiral's financial picture.
Admiral management intends to seek a new line of business. as yet
unidentified. In connection therewith, Admiral's management believes that a
restructuring of Admiral may be necessary in order to raise capital for new
operations, and any such restructuring may have a substantial dilutive effect
upon Admiral's existing shareholders. Admiral has no ongoing commitments or
obligations other than with respect to its obligations related to the
acquisition of Haven.
