ITEM 2:   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Real Estate

 

The real estate operating loss during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was approximately $79,000 as compared to a loss of $73,000 for the same period in 2002. Real estate losses continue as the Company incurs carrying costs and improvements required to sell the property.

 

Although the Company is actively seeking a buyer for its undeveloped real estate, the County of Los Angeles has adopted more stringent rules covering the development of raw land. These revised regulations have made it more difficult to develop the Company’s property. Management believes that these regulations could have a material adverse effect on the property’s value. Management is not able to reasonably estimate the costs involved in complying with these regulations at this time. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from these regulations.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

Specialized Health Services

 

Due to the Hospital’s continued losses and its inability to pay interest on its secured $1,022,000 loan on the Hospital property for more than a year, the Board of Directors of the Company had unanimously voted in 2001 to sell or close this business in 2002.

 

On February 1, 2002, the Hospital sold its land, building, property and equipment to a related party who also held the outstanding notes payable. The related party took possession of the land, building, furniture and fixtures, and machinery and equipment of the Hospital, which had a net book value of $415,000, in exchange for the cancellation of the outstanding notes payable of $1,022,000 and accrued interest of $174,000. The Hospital recorded a gain of $781,000 on the extinguishment of the debt, which is included in income from discontinued operations.

 

The original principal amount of indebtedness of $1,022,000 was owed to Frances Swanson, an individual, and Frances Swanson, Successor Trustee of the Frawley Family Trust. Frances Swanson is the Chairman’s sister.

 

Immediately subsequent to the sale, the Hospital entered into a three year operating lease with the related party whereby the Hospital will lease back all of the land, building, property and equipment sold. Under the terms of the lease, the Hospital has the option to repurchase the assets sold for the purchase price of the original principal indebtedness plus accumulated interest and attorney’s fees.

 

Prior to the sale of the Schick Program on October 1, 2002, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the health care discontinued operations’

net income was approximately $506,000. The net income reflects a gain from the Settlement Agreement of $781,000, which resulted from the reduction of debt in the amount of $1,022,000 and accrued interest of $174,000 less the net book value of assets sold for $415,000. If the Company had not entered into the Settlement Agreement, the net loss for the Hospital would have been $275,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

 

On October 1, 2002, the operations of the Hospital, which included substantially all of the remaining assets and liabilities, were sold to an unrelated party through an asset purchase agreement for $316,000. As part of the asset sale, the new owners acquired the option to repurchase the assets that were sold to a related party on February 1, 2002, which include the land, building, furniture and fixtures, and machinery and equipment of the Hospital. During the first nine months of 2002, the Company’s Chairman loaned the Hospital $55,000 to meet operating requirements. The terms of the asset purchase agreement required the Chairman to release the Hospital from this indebtedness. The Chairman concurrently agreed to accept a new $55,000 note from the new owners of the Hospital.

 

In addition to the terms previously noted, the Hospital received $50,000 in cash, a note for $250,000, and a 5% limited partnership interest in the acquiring partnership and recognized a gain of approximately $158,000 on the sale. The Hospital incurred legal expenses of approximately $81,000 related to the sale. The Hospital concurrently assigned the $250,000 note receivable to the Chatham Brothers Barrel Yard PRP Trust as a reduction of the amount owed related to the toxic waste cleanup lawsuit and paid the $50,000 in cash to the Company’s counsel for legal fees owed.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Hospital had miscellaneous expenses of $5,647 compared to a profit of approximately $656,000 for the same period during 2002. The profit reflected the effect of the $781,000 gain from the Settlement Agreement, which was a result of the reduction of debt in the amount of $1,022,000 and accrued interest of $174,000 less the net book value of assets sold for $415,000. Without the gain from the Settlement Agreement, the operating loss for the first Quarter 2002 was $125,000.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s recurring losses from continuing operations and difficulties in generating cash flow sufficient to meet its obligations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Real Estate and Corporate overhead are producing losses that the real-estate business is unable to absorb. The required investments in real estate are currently funded from loans.

 

The Company intends to meet its obligations through real estate sales. The limited resources available to the Company will be directed at reducing operating expenses and selling real estate.

 

The Company continues to incur legal expenses and has an obligation in 2003 to contribute to the Chatham Brothers toxic waste cleanup lawsuit.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1: Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is named as a defendant in the Chatham Brothers Toxic Waste cleanup lawsuit. In February 1991, the Company was identified as one of many “Potentially Responsible Parties” (PRPS) in the Chatham Brothers toxic waste cleanup site case, filed by the State of California – Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and involved The Harley Pen Company previously owned by the Company.

 

On December 31, 1991, the Company and approximately 90 other companies were named in a formal complaint. The Company joined a group of defendants, each of whom was so notified and which is referred to as Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) for the purpose of negotiating with the DTSC and for undertaking remediation of the site. Between 1995 and 1998, the State of California adjusted the estimated Cost of remediation on several occasions. As a result, the Company has increased their recorded liability to reflect their share. In January 1999, the Court approved the PRP’s consent decree.

 

As of March 31, 2003, the Company had made payments into the PRP Group totaling approximately $820,000, which includes the assignment of the $250,000 note receivable and had a cash call contribution payable of $131,000. The Company has accrued short-term and long-term undiscounted liabilities of $209,000 and $1,174,000, respectively, to cover future costs under the remediation plan.

 

The Company is in dispute with its 1988 licensee over the trademark “Classics Illustrated”. In 1998, the Company terminated its license agreement for breach of contract. The licensee has objected to the termination stating that the Company failed to notify the licensee of a potential problem with the trademark in Greece. A Greek court has ruled against a sub licensee in Greece. In the license agreement the Company notified the licensee that the licensee would have to investigate the international trademark involving “Classics Illustrated”. Management believes that there is no probable risk of loss related to this dispute.

 

ITEM 5: Other Information
