PART I Item 1. Business. Riverside Group, Inc., a Florida corporation formed in 1965 ("Riverside", also "Parent Company"), is a holding company focused through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cybermax, Inc. ("Cybermax") and other equity investments in e-Commerce, e-Learning and Interactive Media solutions. The Company is engaged in the supply and distribution of building materials through its 35% equity investment in Wickes Inc. ("Wickes") and its 40% equity investment in Buildscape, Inc. ("Buildscape"). Wickes is a leading supplier and manufacturer of building materials in the United States, with 98 sales and distribution facilities and 26 manufacturing facilities located in states in the midwest, northeast and south. Buildscape provides e-Commerce services and building-related content to the home building profession. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term "the Company" as used herein refers to Riverside and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Historical Development From 1986 through the first half of 1996, Riverside conducted life and property and casualty insurance operations. The property and casualty insurance operations were discontinued in 1993 and sold in September 1995. Riverside began disposing of its life insurance operations at the end of 1994 and, in June 1996, completed a merger of its remaining life insurance operations with a third party that resulted in the ownership by Riverside of a non-controlling interest in the third party. Riverside disposed of this interest on December 31, 1997. Riverside obtained its initial investment in Wickes in 1990 through the acquisition of American Founders Life Insurance Company, which at the time owned approximately 10% of Wickes' common stock. In 1993, as part of a Wickes recapitalization plan, including an initial public common stock offering, Riverside increased its beneficial ownership of Wickes' common stock to approximately 36%. On June 20, 1996, Riverside purchased from Wickes 2,000,000 newly issued shares of Wickes' common stock for $10,000,000 in cash. In 1998 and early 1999, Riverside sold 1,151,900 shares of its Wickes' common stock. As of March 15, 2002, Riverside beneficially owned 2,860,213 shares of Wickes' common stock, which constitutes 35% of Wickes' outstanding voting and non-voting common stock. See "Investment in Wickes." In January 1998, Riverside formed various operating subsidiaries, which acquired certain e-Commerce and advertising operations from Wickes. These subsidiaries included Cybermax and Buildscape. In October 1999, the Company decreased its ownership in Buildscape to 47%. In May 2000, the Company decreased its ownership in Buildscape to 40%. See "Buildscape." In February 1998, Riverside acquired the assets of Cybermax from a third party. See "Cybermax." 1

See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. (3) Includes $1,615,000, $1,466,000 and $1,407,000 for an interest expense allocation from Riverside on its 11% Secured Notes for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Internet and E-Commerce Operations Effective January 15, 1998, Riverside acquired certain operations of Wickes that Wickes had determined to discontinue as a result of its plan to streamline operations and focus primarily on its core professional builder business. The operations transferred included e-Commerce and advertising on the Internet. The consideration given or to be given by Riverside to Wickes in the transaction consists of Riverside's three-year $871,844 unsecured promissory note and future payments of ten percent of the transferred operations' net income (subject to a maximum of $430,000). The Company has not made any payments under this agreement since these operations have only incurred losses. In connection with this acquisition, Riverside established various operating subsidiaries to conduct the businesses acquired from Wickes, as well as related operations. Buildscape was established to provide e-Commerce and advertising services for the building materials industry on the Internet. Cybermax was established to provide e-Commerce solutions to the building industry, as well as software application development and hosting services. 3

Buildscape The Company provides services to the e-Commerce market through its 40% equity investment in Buildscape. Buildscape provides home-building materials, service and commerce online to professionals in the home-building industry. Buildscape is considered to be a development stage company. On October 21, 1999, Imagine Investments, Inc. ("Imagine") made a $10 million investment in Buildscape by converting $3 million of debt into common stock, exchanging 520,000 shares of Riverside stock for Buildscape common stock and investing $5 million in Buildscape for preferred shares. In this transaction, Imagine acquired from Riverside 1,880,933 of Buildscape's then 5,000,000 outstanding shares of common stock in exchange for (i) the cancellation of $3 million of indebtedness and (ii) 520,000 shares of Riverside's common stock held by Imagine. In connection with the transaction, because Imagine was granted the right to vote the Company's common shares on all matters with the exception of change in control, the Company began accounting for its investment in Buildscape under the equity method. The Company retained the remaining 3,119,067 outstanding shares of Buildscape's common stock. In addition, Buildscape issued to Imagine 1,666,667 shares of Buildscape's voting Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Shares") with a $5 million aggregate liquidation preference in exchange for $5 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company owned (before Buildscape employee stock options) 47% of Buildscape on a fully converted basis. Imagine owned 38% of the common and 100% of the preferred shares of Buildscape, or 53% on the same basis. The Company recorded a gain of $4.0 million on the transaction. In May 2000, Buildscape and The Dow Chemical Company ("Dow") entered into a strategic partnership in order to pursue the companies shared vision for a supply chain solution for the construction industry. On May 19, 2000, Dow made an investment of approximately $10 million in Buildscape, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, whereby Dow purchased 1,109,782 newly issued shares of Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock, "Series B Shares," par value $0.01 per share of Buildscape. Additionally, (i) Dow purchased 1,666,667 shares of Series A Shares, par value $0.01 per share, of Buildscape from Imagine; and (ii) Dow acquired an option to purchase 547,998 shares of common stock of Buildscape from Imagine. Upon the investment by Dow, the Company's voting rights in Buildscape reverted back from Imagine to the Company. On November 20, 2000, Dow agreed to invest up to $10 million in Buildscape, LLC for a 12.5% membership interest in Buildscape, LLC, which at the time was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buildscape. As of December 31, 2000, Dow had invested $5 million and held a 6.25% membership interest and, as of March 31, 2001, Dow had invested the full $10 million and acquired the full 12.5% membership interest in Buildscape, LLC. In April 2001, Buildscape LLC entered into a loan agreement for $5 million with Dow and the Company executed a guaranty for 35.1% of the note. On September 12, 2001, Buildscape, LLC executed a Second Amendment and Restated Note ("Amended Note") under which Dow may make advances in the aggregate principal amount of $13,000,000 to Buildscape, LLC. Pursuant to the Company's guaranty, if principal and interest under the Amended Note are not paid, Dow may call the guaranty and the Company may satisfy its obligation by transferring to Dow shares of its Buildscape common stock up to 1,014,000 shares. Subsequently in November 2001, Dow entered into a new loan agreement with Buildscape, LLC for up to $10 million. The Company has not guaranteed this note. Concurrent with executing this note, Dow was granted an additional 12.5% interest in Buildscape, LLC. 4

As a result of these transactions, as of December 31, 2001, the Company owned (before Buildscape's employee stock options) approximately 40% of Buildscape on a fully converted basis. Imagine owned 24% on a fully converted basis and Dow owned 100% of the preferred shares, and approximately 36% on a fully converted basis. As of December 31, 2001, Buildscape owned 75% and Dow owned 25% membership interest in Buildscape, LLC. Cybermax In February 1998, Riverside acquired the assets of Cybermax from a third party. Cybermax is a professional services company specializing in e-Commerce, e-Learning and Interactive Media solutions. Cybermax has built numerous "high profile" e-Commerce solutions for the building industry. To date, Cybermax has developed over 220 websites that are commerce enabled. Cybermax generated sales of approximately $1,215,000, $1,774,000 and $1,171,000 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. E-Commerce solutions accounted for approximately 59%, 76% and 50% of sales in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Customers In 2001, three customers, Orgill, Inc. ("Orgill"), Homeside Lending, Inc. and Buildscape accounted for approximately 57% of sales. One customer, Orgill accounted for approximately 17%, 27% and 53% of sales in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cybermax has enjoyed a close business relationship with Orgill. Orgill, located in Memphis, Tennessee, is the largest privately owned wholesale hardware distributor in the United States. Cybermax is the lead e-Business solutions developer for Orgill, having designed, developed and supported www.Orgill.com since 1998. Orgill.com is a dealer Extranet (B-to-B), featuring Orgill's product inventory of over 64,000 items online for their dealers/retailers to view and order inventory. Cybermax has built five Orgill e-Business systems to date. In addition to Orgill.com, Cybermax has also built an online catalog for their dealers to link to their websites, called QuikShip, for B-to-C transactions. Another QuikShip system is "Special Order Center," which houses QuikShip in an in-store kiosk. HomeSource is another innovative product, which resides on a kiosk within an attended Design Center for in-store selection and order. The most recent development is "ProShip," which features an enhanced online catalog for "Pro" sales. Ancillary to Orgill's development, Cybermax has created over 100 Orgill dealer websites on a custom-designed basis. Products and Services As a provider of e-Learning, Interactive Media and e-Business, Cybermax currently offers one product and several solutions and services. Cybermax's e-Learning Solutions division has developed an e-Learning product which targets mid to large-scale corporations and educational institutions. In addition to this product, this division has the experience and capability of producing custom web-based training for customers. Cybermax's Interactive Media Solutions division primarily provides graphical support for e-Learning and e-Business, but also develops custom multimedia programs (interactive kiosks, sales presentations, computer-based training and 3D models/animations) for both commercial and government customers. 5
10-K8th Page of 69TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
Cybermax continues to seek out custom website development, incorporating full-commerce capabilities. Custom-developed sites encompass Internet (customers), Intranet (employees) and Extranet (partners and suppliers) features and functions, tied to comprehensive back office application modules. Cybermax has specialized in building Extranets/e-Commerce websites for participants in the building industry. The Company believes that this provides Cybermax with a significant competitive advantage. Cybermax has no material patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, or concessions other than the name "Cybermax" and the trademark "Inspire." The operations of Cybermax are not affected by seasonality. However, economic conditions do affect the operations of Cybermax. During the second half of 2001, adverse economic conditions resulted in the reduction of marketing and advertising expenditures by companies in general. In addition, during the third quarter of 2001, the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks amplified the general economic weakness, resulting in further reductions. Moreover, if economic conditions do improve, there can be no assurance that marketing and advertising expenditures will increase from its current level. Other Operations Investment in Wickes At December 31, 2001, the Company beneficially owned 2,860,243 shares of Wickes' common stock, which represents 35% of Wickes outstanding shares. For a description of the reduction by the Company of its percentage ownership in Wickes during 1999, 2000 and 2001, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. Wickes is a leading supplier and manufacturer of building materials in the United States. Wickes sells its products and services primarily to residential and commercial building professionals, repair and remodeling ("R&R") contractors and, to a lesser extent, project do-it-yourself consumers ("DIY's") involved in major home improvement projects. At December 29, 2001, Wickes operated 98 sales and distribution facilities, as well as 26 component manufacturing facilities that produce and distribute roof and floor trusses, framed wall panels and pre-hung door units principally in the midwest, northeast and southern regions of the United States. Investment in Greenleaf On September 30, 1998, the Company entered into and completed an agreement with Greenleaf Technologies Corporation ("Greenleaf"), based in Austin, Texas, whereby the Company acquired common shares of Greenleaf in exchange for 100% of the common stock of a former wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In January 2000, the Company and Greenleaf settled a dispute covering the terms of this transaction. Giving effect to the settlement, the Company received 10,000,000 shares of Greenleaf common stock and a five-year option to acquire an additional 2,000,000 shares for an exercise price of $.25 per share. In addition, another 3,000,000 shares have been placed in escrow to be used to fund mutually acceptable joint ventures related to technology, the Internet and related products to be owned in equal amounts by Greenleaf and the Company. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. 6
10-K9th Page of 69TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
At December 31, 2001, the calculated market value of the Company's shares (including the shares held in escrow) in Greenleaf was approximately $89,000, based on Greenleaf's stock price of $.009 per share on the Over-the-Counter Pink Sheets. However, after December 31, 2001, Greenleaf operations ceased. Accordingly, the Greenleaf common stock is permanently impaired. As such, the Company has written down the investment to $0 at December 31, 2001. Real Estate Operations As of December 31, 2001, Riverside's real estate held for sale includes $2,874,000 of land located in Georgia and $8,000 of land located in other states. Real Estate Held for Sale Included in the real estate held for sale at December 31, 2001 is approximately 48 acres of land located within Highlands Park in Smyrna, Georgia. Highlands. Highlands originally consisted of 1,000 acres and has been an active development since 1983 with approximately 952 acres being sold over the last 19 years. Highlands is a planned industrial development just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. The land is subdivided into numerous parcels planned for commercial, office and light industrial use. In its current state, the property has road frontage and access to county water, sewer, electricity, gas and telephone. In addition, many of the properties have been graded. Riverside completed sales totaling 77.1 acres in 2001 for approximately $10,368,000, 8.8 acres in 2000 for approximately $861,000 and .841 acres in 1999 for approximately $67,000. Belfort. Belfort originally consisted of approximately 28 acres of vacant and unimproved commercial land in Jacksonville, FL. In 2000, the Company sold its remaining 6.83 acres for approximately $1,636,000. Employees As of March 14, 2002, Riverside and its wholly-owned subsidiary had 9 full-time employees. The Company believes that it has maintained favorable relations with its employees. None of these employees are represented by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. 7

Payment of dividends in the future is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company and is dependent upon the Company's overall financial condition, capital requirements, compliance with contractual requirements, earnings and any other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, the terms of the Company's $2,022,000 loan from Imagine prohibit the payment of cash dividends without the prior approval of Imagine.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes contained elsewhere herein. Since the operations of Buildscape are consolidated with those of the Company and its subsidiaries for all of January 1, 1999 and through October 21, 1999 and accounted for under the equity method for the remainder of 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively, comparisons between periods may not be meaningful in certain respects. FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION CAUTIONARY STATEMENT. The following discussion of the Company's future operations, liquidity needs and sufficiency constitutes Forward-Looking Information and is inherently subject to uncertainty as a result of a number of risk factors including, among other things: (i) the Company's ability to successfully restructure its 11% Secured Notes in a timely and reasonable matter, (ii) the success of and level of cash flow generated by Cybermax, (iii) the Company's ability to achieve the level of real estate sales required to meet scheduled real estate debt principal and interest payments and to avoid the requirement that the Company provide additional collateral for this debt, (iv) the Company's ability to borrow, which may depend upon, among other things, the trading price of Wickes common stock, the value and liquidity of the Company's Greenleaf securities and the success of Cybermax and Buildscape, (v) the ability of the Company to raise funds through sales of Wickes common stock and Greenleaf securities and (vi) uncertainty concerning the possible existence of indemnification claims resulting from the Company's discontinued operations. Future real estate sales depend upon a number of factors, including interest rates, general economic conditions and conditions in the commercial real estate markets in Atlanta, Georgia. In addition to the factors described above, the Company's ability to sell Wickes common stock or Greenleaf securities would depend upon, among other things, the trading prices for these securities and, in light of the relatively low trading volume for these securities, the Company's ability to find a buyer or buyers for these securities in a private transaction or otherwise. 11

Cybermax The following table sets forth information concerning the results of Cybermax (excluding its ownership of Buildscape) for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively (in thousands): [Enlarge/Download Table] 2001 2000 1999 ------------- ------------- -------------- Sales $ 1,215 $ 1,774 $ 1,171 Direct costs 591 945 213 ------------- ------------- -------------- Net profit 624 829 958 Selling, general and administrative expense 991 1,363 2,053 Depreciation and amortization 76 191 156 Interest expense -- -- 3 ------------- ------------- -------------- Total expenses 1,067 1,554 2,212 Other income 93 52 15 ------------- ------------- -------------- Net loss $ (350) $ (673) $ (1,239) ============= ============= ============== Cybermax's revenues for 2001 decreased 32% to $1,215,000, compared to $1,774,000 in 2000. Revenues for 2001 include $723,000 of e-Commerce solution sales, $305,000 of e-Learning sales, $72,000 of multi-media solution sales and $115,000 of network services. Revenues for 2000 include $1,343,000 of e-Commerce solution sales, $104,000 of multi-media solution sales, $96,000 of software and equipment sales, $110,000 of network services and $121,000 from Internet services. During the first half of 2001, Cybermax's revenues were $813,000, compared to $748,000 during the same period in 2000. During the second half of 2001, Cybermax's revenues were $402,000, compared to $1,026,000 during the same period in 2000. As a result of economic conditions, including the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Cybermax saw a general decline in other companies' general expenditures for software, marketing and advertising, including marketing on the Internet. An additional factor contributing to the decline in Cybermax revenues was a transition in the management of operations. In June 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with Ennovative Commerce Solutions, Inc. ("Ennovative"), based in California, whereby, effective July 1, 2001, Ennovative would manage and operate the business of Cybermax. Ennovative receives a management fee of 60% of the profits and is responsible for funding 60% of the losses as defined by the agreement. During 2001, Cybermax recorded miscellaneous income of $92,400 for Ennovative's share of Cybermax losses. Cybermax's direct costs for 2001 decreased to $591,000, compared to $945,000 in 2000. Direct costs for 2001 include $340,000 of e-Commerce solution sales, $142,000 of e-Learning sales, $15,000 of multi-media solution sales and $94,000 of network services. Direct costs for 2000 include $607,000 of e-Commerce solution sales, $70,000 of software and equipment sales, $78,000 of multi-media solution sales and $190,000 of Internet services. The primary reason for the decrease in direct costs is due to lower sales during the second half of 2001. 15

Cybermax's revenues for 2000 increased 51% to $1,774,000, compared to $1,171,000 in 1999. Revenues for 2000 include $1,343,000 of e-Commerce solution sales, $96,000 of software and equipment sales, $104,000 of multi-media solution sales, $110,000 of network services and $121,000 from Internet services. Revenues for 1999 include $886,000 of e-Commerce solution sales, $73,000 of software and equipment sales, $42,000 of network services and $170,000 from Internet services. The increase in revenues is due primarily to the increase in sales and marketing efforts in 2000. Cybermax's direct costs for 2000 increased to $945,000, compared to $213,000 in 1999. Direct costs for 2000 include $607,000 of e-Commerce solution sales, $70,000 of software and equipment sales, $78,000 of multi-media solution sales and $190,000 of Internet services. Direct costs for 1999 include $10,000 of e-Commerce solution sales, $58,000 of software and equipment sales and $145,000 of Internet services. The primary reason for the increase in direct costs is due to a change in cost structure. During 1999, the direct costs of sales were primarily attributable to employee's salaries, which were included in the Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") line item. In 2000, these costs were provided by an outside consulting firm and were included as a direct cost of sales. In addition, after September 2000, the actual billable time of employees salaries and benefits were included as a direct cost of sales. SG&A expenses for 2001 decreased to $991,000, compared to $1,363,000 in 2000. The primary reason for this decrease was the reduction of personnel, travel related expenses, software expense and reserves for bad debt. This decrease was slightly offset by increases in advertising expense and the management fee from Ennovative. SG&A expense for 2000 decreased to $1,363,000, compared to $2,053,000 in 1999. The primary reason for this decrease was the reduction of personnel and travel expense in 2000 and, as discussed above, after September 2000, certain employee salaries and benefits were included as a direct cost of sales. These reductions were offset slightly by increases in contractual services, software and advertising expense. Wickes Losses attributable to Wickes for 2001 were approximately $4,594,000 after inter-company eliminations, net of goodwill amortization of approximately $521,000 and net of interest expense of $1,615,000 allocated from Riverside on its 11% Secured Notes. Losses attributable to Wickes for 2000 were approximately $1,011,000 after inter-company eliminations, net of goodwill amortization of approximately $521,000 and net of interest expense of $1,466,000 allocated from Riverside on its 11% Secured Notes. Wickes contributed earnings of $840,000 to the Company's results of operations in 1999 after inter-company eliminations, net of goodwill amortization of approximately $521,000 and net of interest expense of $1,407,000 allocated from Riverside on its 13% and 11% Secured Notes. 16

Parent Company and Other Subsidiaries The following discussion relates to the operations of Riverside and its subsidiaries, other than Buildscape, Cybermax and Wickes (the "Parent Group"). The Parent Group's non-interest expenses for 2001 decreased to $727,000, compared to $823,000 in 2000. For certain costs, including human resources, senior management and accounting and office-related expenses, the Parent Company charges its subsidiaries and affiliates for its share of the costs, based on actual usage during a period. As a result, comparison between periods may not be meaningful. These reductions were offset slightly by approximately $135,000 due to a payable recorded in the fourth quarter of 2001 that relates to the Company's former mortgage lending operations. For additional information regarding this liability, see Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. The Company's audit and legal expense decreased by approximately $140,000 in 2001, compared to 2000. Included in non-interest expenses for 2000 was a non-recurring compensation expense relative to the transfer of certain options to acquire common stock of Greenleaf held by the Company to certain Company employees. In 2000, the Company recorded income of approximately $116,000, included in net realized investment gains, which represented the value of the options transferred and recognized compensation expense of approximately $116,000. The Parent Group's non-interest operating expenses for 2000 increased 95% to $823,000, compared to $421,000 in 1999. The 2000 expenses include the compensation expense relative to options and Greenleaf common stock transfer to certain employees as explained above. The 1999 expenses include income of approximately $100,000, which resulted from the release of a reserve established in prior years in connection with the sale of the Company's former property and casualty operations. In addition, the 1999 expenses include approximately $104,000 of expenses incurred in connection with the replacement of the Company's 13% Notes that matured in 1999. The primary reason for the increase in 2000 is that in 1999 all expenses relating to any of the Company's operating subsidiaries were paid directly by the subsidiaries eliminating allocations. As a result, comparison between periods may not be meaningful. Interest expense (excluding the 13% and 11% Secured Notes interest expense allocated to the Wickes line of business of $1,615,000, $1,466,000 and $1,407,000 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively) for 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $738,000, $1,400,000 and $1,058,000, respectively. In 2001, interest expense consisted of $301,000 on the Company's other loans and $437,000 on the Company's real estate mortgage debt. In 2000, interest expense consisted of $294,000 on the Company's other loans and $1,106,000 on the Company's real estate mortgage debt. In 1999, interest expense consisted of $90,000 on the Company's other loans and $968,000 on the Company's real estate mortgage debt. The primary reason for the decrease in interest expense is due to the real estate sales. Proceeds from the real estate sales are primarily used to cover real estate expenses and to reduce the mortgage debt. Revenues of the Parent Group (excluding sales and investment income) for 2001, 2000 and 1999 were approximately $270,000, $136,000 and $80,000, respectively. The Parent Group's income primarily consists of non-recurring items, such as settlement proceeds from legal proceedings. Therefore, comparisons between periods are not meaningful. 17

Real Estate Held For Sale The Company's real estate held for sale at December 31, 2001 consists of $2,874,000 in Georgia properties and $8,000 in other states. Investments in real estate held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. As a result, the Company's investment in real estate is carried at cost. Included in the real estate held for sale are approximately 48 acres of land located within Highlands Park in Smyrna, Georgia. During 2000, the Company sold its remaining acres located within Belfort Park in Jacksonville, Florida. During 2001, the sales proceeds were used to pay property taxes, interest and principal on the Company's mortgage debt. At December 31, 2001, the Company has a prepayment of interest of approximately $36,000. During 2000, the Company sold the remaining lot of its Florida property for $309,000, which generated gains of $210,000, compared to 1999 when the Company sold a lot in Florida for $283,000 which generated gains of $1,000. In 2001, the Company made payments on its mortgage debt of approximately $10,118,000, which was applied to principal, interest expense and property taxes, including a prepayment of interest of approximately $36,000. In 2000, the Company made payments on its mortgage debt of approximately $2,300,000, which was applied to interest expense and property taxes, including a prepayment of interest of approximately $400,000. Gains (losses) on real estate investments were $6,565,000, $360,000 and $(257,000) in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Highlands. Highlands originally consisted of 1,000 acres and has been an active development since 1983 with approximately 952 acres being sold over the last 19 years. Highlands is a planned industrial development just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. The land is subdivided into numerous parcels planned for commercial, office and light industrial use. In its current state, the property has road frontage and access to county water, sewer, electricity, gas and telephone. During 2001, the Company sold 77.1 acres for approximately $10,368,000, which generated gains of approximately $6,565,000, compared to 2000, when the Company sold 8.8 acres for $861,000, which generated gains of $153,000. In 1999, the Company sold .841 acres for $67,000, which generated gains of $20,000. Belfort. Belfort originally consisted of approximately 28 acres of vacant and unimproved commercial land. During 2000, the Company sold its remaining 6.83 acres for $1,636,000 and recorded a loss of $3,400 on the sale. During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company had established a reserve for $278,000 on this property. Investment in Greenleaf At December 31, 2001, the Company's investment in Greenleaf consisted of 8,460,000 common shares, 1,390,000 escrow shares and a five-year option to acquire 2,000,000 additional newly issued shares of Greenleaf's common stock at an exercise price of $.25 per share. As of December 31, 2001, the Company has transferred 84,151 of these options to employees. 18

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," 9,850,000 and 5,665,508 shares of the Company's common stock in Greenleaf are classified as available for sale at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. At December 31, 2000, the cost basis was $0 and the estimated fair market value was $2,323,000, resulting in gross unrealized gains of $2,323,000. No taxes have been provided, as the Company has available net operating loss carryforwards and strategies, which would result in no tax liability upon the unlikely sale of these securities. At December 31, 2000, sales of Greenleaf shares were restricted under the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 144. Accordingly, the 4,834,492 Greenleaf shares at December 31, 2000 were not considered to be marketable equity securities subject to valuation under the provisions of SFAS 115 and were not reported at fair value at December 31, 2000, but rather were recorded at their cost basis of zero. In 2001, the Company received a legal opinion that the shares of Greenleaf may be sold under SEC Rule 144(k). Accordingly, during 2001, the Greenleaf shares owned by the Company were classified as available for sale. However, after December 31, 2001, Greenleaf's operations ceased. Accordingly, the Greenleaf common stock is permanently impaired. As such, the Company has written down the investment to $0. During 2001, the Company sold 650,000 shares of its Greenleaf common stock for approximately $82,000, resulting in gains of approximately $82,000. The Company had no sales of its Greenleaf escrow shares in 2001. During 2000, the Company sold 890,000 shares of its Greenleaf common stock for approximately $1,410,000, resulting in gains of approximately $1,402,000. The Company had sales of 110,000 shares of its Greenleaf escrow shares in 2000 for approximately $98,000, resulting in gains of approximately $98,000. Income Taxes The Company had $0 tax expense in 2001, 2000 and 1999. A valuation allowance has been maintained to reduce deferred tax assets (net of deferred tax liabilities) to zero. See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Parent Group Riverside's general liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds for payment of debt and related interest and for operating expenses and overhead. The Company's operations consist primarily of asset sales (real estate, Greenleaf shares and Wickes shares) and Cybermax's operations. Proceeds from real estate sales are required to be applied to real estate debt reduction and are not available to Riverside for other purposes. Riverside's cash on hand will not be sufficient to support its operations and overhead through 2002. Therefore, the Company will need to obtain significant additional funds through asset sales or additional borrowings or other financing for such purposes and may need to reduce the level of its operations. As described in Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is in default with respect to the majority of its outstanding long-term debt. The Company's immediate plans are to reorganize its debts that are currently due and evaluate options on liquidating assets and investments to meet the debt requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully negotiate a restructuring of its debt and the failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. In addition, if a successful restructuring of its debt obligations does not occur, the Company may need to seek reorganization under applicable federal bankruptcy laws. 19

For a detailed discussion of Riverside's liquidity, debt repayment obligations and management's plans related thereto, see Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. Cash Used in Operations During 2001, the Company used approximately $892,000 of cash for its operations, including $140,000 and $752,000 of cash used for the operations of Cybermax and the Parent Company, respectively. Cash Provided by Investing Activities The Company's investments generated approximately $10,649,000 of cash in 2001. Sales of the Company's real estate investments generated approximately $10,368,000 of cash. The real estate proceeds were used to make principal payments of approximately $9,704,000 and interest expense and property tax payments of approximately $414,000, including a prepayment of interest of approximately $36,000. In addition, the lender of the real estate mortgage debt released $225,000 to the Company that was used to cover the operations of Cybermax and Riverside. The lender charged a fee of $25,000 for the release of funds to the Company. During 2001, the Company sold 50,800 shares of its Wickes stock for approximately $222,000. The proceeds from these sales were used to cover the operations of Cybermax and the Parent Company. The Company also sold 650,000 shares of its Greenleaf stock for approximately $82,000 during 2001. The agent for the 11% Noteholders allowed the proceeds of the sales in 2001 to be released to the Company to cover operating costs. The proceeds from these sales were used to cover the operations of Cybermax and the Parent Company. During 2001, the Company purchased approximately $14,000 of equipment and made an improvement on its existing Highlands real estate for approximately $9,000. Cash Used in Financing Activities The Company used approximately $9,793,000 in its financing activities in 2001. As a result of the Company's real estate sales, the Company reduced its mortgage debt by approximately $9,704,000. In addition, the Company reduced its other debt by approximately $98,000 in 2001. These payments were offset by approximately $9,000 which the Company received on its ESOP notes and stock. Other Transactions In addition, the following transactions relating to liquidity took place in 2000 and 2001: In August 2000, the Company and Imagine extended the principal and interest payments that were due under the Company's loan agreement with Imagine on August 31, 2000 until December 15, 2000. The $1.8 million loan balance was increased by $222,000 for unpaid interest and refinancing costs with this extension. The Company did not make any payment of principal and interest on December 15, 2000 and the loan is currently in default. The Company and Imagine are in discussions regarding the extension of the principal and interest payments that were due on December 15, 2000. For further information regarding the Imagine loan, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. 20

The Company failed to make the required payment on its 11% Secured Notes which was due December 31, 2000. The Company received notice from the agent for the Noteholders declaring all amounts outstanding under the notes immediately due and payable. The Company was also advised that the agent would immediately commence foreclosure proceedings on the collateral securing the notes. The collateral includes certain real estate assets of Riverside and shares of Wickes and Greenleaf. In March 2001, Imagine purchased a majority of the Company's 11% Secured Notes from the Noteholders of the 11% Secured Notes. As a result of this action, the agent for the Noteholders cancelled the foreclosure sales mentioned above. In August 2001, Imagine acquired the remaining 25% of the 11% Secured Notes and now owns 100% of the Notes. Imagine and the Company are negotiating to restructure the debt. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully negotiate a restructuring of its debt and the failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. In addition, if a successful restructuring of its debt obligations does not occur, the Company may need to seek reorganization under applicable federal bankruptcy laws. For further information regarding the Company's 11% Secured Notes, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. Recent Development On January 14, 2002, the Company received a letter, dated January 9, 2002, from the staff(the "Staff") of the Securities and Exchange Commission("SEC"). In the letter the Staff requested that the Company explain why it is not an investment company as defined in Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act of 1940(the "Investment Company Act"). By letter dated January 28, 2002, the Company responded to the Staff's comments and explained the basis for managment's conclusion that the Company is not an investment company and is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Investment Company Act. On March 4, 2002, the Company received a second letter, dated February 28, 2002, from the Staff in which the Staff continued to question whether the Company qualifies for an exemption from the definition of investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Company is reviewing this issue with counsel and preparing a response to the Staff's letter. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, upon which this Management's Discussion and Analysis is based, requires Management to make estimates, which impact these consolidated financial statements. The most critical of these estimates and accounting policies relate to the valuation of real estate held for sale and the valuation of goodwill associated with the investment in Wickes. For a more complete discussion of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Real Estate Held for Sale - Investments in real estate held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The Company is liquidating its real estate portfolio and is exposed to adverse changes in the real estate market. Based upon recent sales transactions, the fair value of real estate is substantially higher than cost. However, deterioration in economic conditions and/or a decline in the values of real estate could have a significant negative impact. Investment in Wickes - The Company's 35% investment in Wickes is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Goodwill of $3.6 million at December 31, 2001 is included in the value of the investment in Wickes. Management has reviewed its investment in Wickes for impairment due to Wickes' reported losses from operations for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. Based upon estimates of Wickes' expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), no impairment allowance was required at December 31, 2001. The carrying value of the Company's 2,860,243 shares of Wickes common stock at December 31, 2001 of $12,506,000 is greater than the fair value of $8,724,000 as determined by the quoted market price. This unrealized depreciation in value is considered by management to be temporary. However, the Company may be required to sell its Wickes shares to generate resources to pay principal and interest on debt. Continued losses in Wickes' operations and/or deterioration in economic conditions would result in realized losses from the sale of Wickes common stock and a possible impairment in the value of the Company's investment in Wickes, both of which could have a significant negative impact.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. The following discussion about the Company's risk-management activities includes "forward-looking" statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The Company is subject to market risk from changes in market price of equities and real estate. The Company is currently liquidating its real estate portfolio and is exposed to any adverse changes in the real estate market. The Company believes that based on current economic conditions and the management's expectation of real estate values, proceeds from the sale of its real estate will allow it to pay off its mortgage debt and pay down its 11% Secured Notes. However, deterioration in economic conditions and/or a decline in the value of real estate could have a significant negative impact. The table below reflects the impact that a decrease of 10% and 25% in market prices may have on the Company's realized gains on real estate sales and the cash available to pay down the 11% Secured Notes. [Download Table] Current @90% @75% (in thousands) Value Value Value ------------- ------- ----- ----- Market price less sales expenses $ 6,459 $ 5,813 $ 4,844 Realized gains $ 3,655 $ 3,009 $ 2,040 Cash flow net of mortgage debt $ 4,367 $ 3,766 $ 2,865 The Company believes that its interest rate risk is minimal as a hypothetical ten percent increase or decrease in interest rates is immaterial to the Company's cash flow and earnings. The Company has mortgage debt at a floating rate of interest calculated as the London InterBank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 300 basis points with a current outstanding balance of $1.6 million.

Independent Auditors' Report To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Riverside Group, Inc. Jacksonville, Florida We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Riverside Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Riverside Group, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 have been prepared assuming that Riverside Group, Inc. and subsidiaries will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Company's recurring losses from operations, net stockholders' capital deficiency and callable nature of the notes payable raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 8. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Certified Public Accountants Jacksonville, Florida March 27, 2002 F-1

Riverside Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Principles Organization Riverside Group, Inc., a Florida corporation formed in 1965 ("Riverside", also "Parent Company") is a holding company focused through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cybermax, Inc. ("Cybermax") and other investments in e-Commerce, e-Learning and Interactive Media solutions. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term "Company" as used herein refers to Riverside and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company also invests in the supply and distribution of building materials through its 35%-equity investment in Wickes Inc. ("Wickes") and its 40%-equity investment in Buildscape, Inc. ("Buildscape"). Buildscape provides e-Commerce services and building-related content to the home building professional. The consolidated financial statements present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Riverside, of its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. The Company's wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries include: Cybermax and its subsidiaries, Buildcast, Inc. ("Buildcast"), Wixx Energy, Inc. ("Wixx"), and the parent's two principal insurance holding company subsidiaries, American Financial Acquisition Corporation ("AFAC") and Dependable Insurance Group, Inc. ("DIGI") and their subsidiaries. The Company dissolved DIGI and AFAC on December 1, 2000. Dissolution of these subsidiaries did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operation or cash flows. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Buildscape's operations are consolidated with those of the Company and its subsidiaries from January 1, 1999 through October 21, 1999. The Company accounted for its investment in Buildscape on the equity method for the remainder of 1999 and all of 2000 and 2001, respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Included in the December 31, 2001 cash balance is approximately $4,600 of restricted cash. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company's accounts receivable subject the Company to credit risk, as collateral is generally not required. The Company's risk of loss is limited due to advance billings to customers for services, the use of preapproved charges to customer credit cards and the ability to terminate access on delinquent accounts. The carrying amount of the Company's accounts receivable approximates their net realizable value. F-7

Real Estate Held for Sale Investments in real estate held for sale are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Certain of the Company's real estate was acquired from affiliates and has been recorded at historical carryover cost. Investment in Greenleaf The Company accounts for its investment in Greenleaf Techonologies Corporation ("Greenleaf") common stock as available for sale. At December 31, 2000, these available for sale securities are reported at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings, but reported within stockholders' equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (net of the effect of income taxes). At the time of sale, any gains or losses, calculated by the specific identification method, are recognized as a component of operating results. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, Greenleaf operations ceased. Accordingly, the Greenleaf common stock is permanently impaired. As such, the Company has written down the investment to $0 at December 31, 2001. Investment in Wickes The Company's consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations and cash flows reflect Riverside's investment in Wickes under the equity method as a result of sales of Wickes common stock that decreased the Company's ownership below 50%. Investment in Buildscape Buildscape's operations were consolidated with those of the Company and its subsidiaries until October 21, 1999. On that date, the Company sold 1,880,933 shares of Buildscape's common stock and Buildscape issued 1,667,667 shares of its voting Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. This reduced the Company's ownership in Buildscape to 47% on a fully converted basis. As a result of this transaction, the Company accounted for its investment in Buildscape under the equity method from October 21, 1999 through December 31, 1999 and all of 2000 and 2001, respectively. Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets include property and equipment and goodwill. Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 3 to 5 years. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was approximately $102,000, $204,000 and $235,000, respectively. Goodwill of $3.6 and $4.1 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, was included in the value of the investment in Wickes. Amortization expense of goodwill was $521,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively and was included in equity in earnings (loss) of Wickes. Periodically, management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) resulting from use of the asset and its eventual disposition.

Other Assets Other assets consists primarily of deferred financing costs, which are amortized over the expected terms of the related debt. Income Taxes The Company records income taxes in accordance with the liability method of accounting. Deferred taxes are recognized for the estimated taxes ultimately payable or recoverable based on enacted tax law. Changes in enacted tax rates are reflected in the tax provision as they occur. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when the Company cannot make the determination that it is more likely than not that some portion of the related tax asset will be realized. The Company will file a consolidated tax return for 2001, which will include all its subsidiaries. Riverside's equity investment in Wickes and Buildscape is below the requirements that allow consolidation for tax purposes. Therefore, separate returns will be filed for these companies. Earnings Per Share Basic and diluted earnings per common share are calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. In periods where net losses were incurred, diluted weighted average common shares are not used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as it would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. In addition, in 2001, options to purchase 294,000 shares were not included in the diluted earnings per share, since the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price. Stock-Based Compensation The Company has elected to account for its employee stock compensation plans under the intrinsic value based method with pro forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share, as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied. Under the intrinsic value based method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. For grants of options to non-employees, the Company accounts for these transactions utilizing the fair value based method of accounting incurring a charge for the value of the option, as calculated by the Black-Scholes asset pricing model and amortizing it over the service period of the option.

Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when services are provided. Services are generally billed one month in advance. Advance billings and collections relating to future access services are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue when earned. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations", SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," and SFAS No. 143, "Accounting For Asset Retirement Obligations." These Statements make significant changes to the accounting for business combinations, goodwill and intangible assets. SFAS No. 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations with limited exceptions for combinations initiated prior to July 1, 2001. In addition, it further clarifies the criteria for recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill. This statement is effective for business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 discontinues the practice of amortizing goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets and initiates an annual review for impairment. Impairment would be examined more frequently if certain indicators are encountered. Intangible assets with a determinable useful life will continue to be amortized over that period. The amortization provisions apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Goodwill and intangible assets on the books at June 30, 2001, will be affected when the Company adopts the Statement effective January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and requires that the amount recorded as a liability be capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability is accreted to the ultimate amount anticipated to be paid and is also adjusted for revisions to the timing or amount of estimated cash flows. The capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. SFAS No. 143 is required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with earlier application encouraged. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of". SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of these standards and has not yet determined the effect of adoption on its financial position and results of operations. Uses of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 each reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. F-10

Statement of Cash Flows Supplementary Disclosure The Company and its subsidiaries, exclusive of Wickes, ("Parent Group") paid $751,000, $2,894,000 and $1,544,000, of interest in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Parent Group made no income tax payments in 2001, 2000 and 1999. In April 2001, the Company executed a non-interest bearing promissory note with Holland & Knight LLP ("H&K"), the Company's former attorneys, for approximately $59,000. The terms of the note call for monthly principal payments of $5,000, commencing May 1, 2001 and continuing on a monthly basis until the note is paid in full. This note was for payment of previous legal fees incurred by the Company and owed to H&K. The Company did not pay any dividends on its common stock during 2001, 2000 and 1999. In October 1999, the Company sold 1,880,000 shares of Buildscape common stock in exchange for (i) the cancellation of $3 million of indebtedness and (ii) 520,000 shares of Riverside's common stock held by Imagine Investments, Inc.("Imagine"). The calculated market value on Riverside's stock was approximately $422,500 on the date of the sale. 2. Investment in Wickes Through a series of transactions in 1993, in connection with Wickes' equity and debt recapitalization plan (which included Wickes' initial public offering of common stock), Riverside acquired a net 1,842,774 additional shares of Wickes common stock and an option for 374,516 shares of Wickes common stock. The aggregate purchase price for these shares and option was $5.9 million, including a $1.1 million promissory note. In August 1995, Riverside exercised its option for an exercise price of $2.3 million and paid its promissory note in full. After these transactions, Riverside owned 2,217,290 shares, or approximately 36% of Wickes' outstanding common stock. At December 31, 1995, the Company's retained earnings included $4.0 million of Wickes' undistributed earnings. Riverside acquired two million newly-issued shares of Wickes' common stock on June 20, 1996 for $10.0 million in cash. These additional shares increased Riverside's ownership in Wickes from 36% to 52% of Wickes' total common shares and from 39% to 55% of Wickes' voting common shares. The Company sold 50,800 and 89,470 shares of Wickes' common stock for approximately $222,000, and $503,000 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company incurred (losses) gains of $(72,000) and $28,000, on the sale of its Wickes common stock in 2001 and 2000, respectively. There were no sales of Wickes' common stock in 1999. On December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, Riverside beneficially owned 3,000,513, 2,911,043 and 2,860,243 shares of Wickes' common stock, which constituted 36%, 35% and 35% of Wickes' outstanding voting and non-voting common stock, respectively.

Investment in Greenleaf As of September 30, 1998, the Company completed a transaction with Greenleaf, whereby the Company acquired common shares of Greenleaf in exchange for 100% of the common stock of the Company's former wholly owned subsidiary, Gameverse Inc. As a result of Greenleaf's dissatisfaction with the transaction, on January 28, 2000, the Company and Greenleaf executed a Settlement Agreement (the "Greenleaf Settlement"). In the Greenleaf Settlement, the Company retained 10,000,000 shares of the 14,687,585 shares that it had originally received. The Company also retained a five-year option to acquire 2,000,000 additional newly issued shares of Greenleaf's common stock at an exercise price of $.25 per share. In addition to the 10,000,000 retained shares, 3,000,000 of the Greenleaf shares are held in an escrow account (the "Escrow Shares"), pursuant to an Escrow Agreement acceptable to Greenleaf and the Company. The proceeds from the sale of the Escrow Shares are to be used to fund mutually agreeable joint ventures for the marketing of technology and Internet-related products, to be owned in equal amounts by Greenleaf and the Company. In connection with the settlement, Riverside granted Greenleaf a stock option to purchase 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Cybermax. The exercise price is $1,000,000 and the expiration date of the option is September 30, 2003. In addition, the Company entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of Greenleaf, Future Com., South Florida, Inc., for use of satellite airtime, related technology, hardware and software, on an as-needed basis, at fair market value. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," 9,850,000 and 5,665,508 shares of the Company's common stock in Greenleaf are classified as available for sale at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. At December 31, 2000, the cost basis was $0 and the estimated fair market value was $2,323,000, resulting in gross unrealized gains of $2,323,000. At December 31, 2000, sales of Greenleaf shares were restricted under the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 144. Accordingly, 4,834,492 of restricted shares were not reported at fair value at December 31, 2000, but rather were recorded at their cost basis of zero. As a result of the non-monetary exchange of a wholly-owned subsidiary for the Greenleaf shares, the Company had no basis in the restricted shares. In 2001, the Company received a legal opinion that the shares of Greenleaf may be sold under SEC Rule 144(k). Accordingly, during 2001, the total number of Greenleaf shares owned by the Company were classified as available for sale. However, after December 31, 2001, Greenleaf operations ceased. Accordingly, Greenleaf common stock is permanently impaired. As such, the Company wrote down the investment to $0 at December 31, 2001. No taxes have been provided as the Company has available net operating loss carryforwards and strategies, which would result in no tax liability upon the unlikely sale of these securities. F-12

During 2001, the Company sold 650,000 shares of its Greenleaf common stock for approximately $82,000, resulting in gains of approximately $82,000. The Company had no sales of its Greenleaf escrow shares in 2001. During 2000, the Company sold 890,000 shares of its Greenleaf common stock for approximately $1,410,000, resulting in gains of approximately $1,402,000. All of the proceeds from these sales were used to pay principal and interest on the Company's 11% Secured Notes. For further information see Note 7. "Long-Term Debt." In addition, during 2000, the Company sold 110,000 shares of its Greenleaf escrow shares for approximately $98,000, resulting in gains of approximately $98,000. 4. Investment in Buildscape On October 21, 1999, Imagine made a $10 million investment in Buildscape by converting $3 million of debt into common stock, exchanging 520,000 shares of Riverside stock for Buildscape common stock and investing $5 million in Buildscape for preferred shares. In this transaction, Imagine acquired from Riverside 1,880,933 of Buildscape's then 5,000,000 outstanding shares of common stock in exchange for (i) the cancellation of $3 million of indebtedness and (ii) 520,000 shares of Riverside's common stock held by Imagine. In connection with the transaction, because Imagine was granted the right to vote the Company's common shares on all matters with the exception of change in control, the Company began accounting for its investment in Buildscape under the equity method. The Company retained the remaining 3,119,067 outstanding shares of Buildscape's common stock. In addition, Buildscape issued to Imagine 1,666,667 shares of Buildscape's voting Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Shares") with a $5 million aggregate liquidation preference in exchange for $5 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company owned (before Buildscape employee stock options) 47% of Buildscape on a fully converted basis. Imagine owned 38% of the common and 100% of the preferred shares of Buildscape, or 53% on the same basis. The Company recorded a gain of $4.0 million on the transaction. In May 2000, Buildscape and The Dow Chemical Company ("Dow") entered into a strategic partnership in order to pursue the company's shared vision for a supply chain solution for the construction industry. On May 19, 2000, Dow made an investment of approximately $10 million in Buildscape, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, whereby Dow purchased 1,109,782 newly issued shares of Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock "Series B Shares", par value $0.01 per share of Buildscape. Additionally, (i) Dow purchased 1,666,667 shares of Series A Shares, par value $0.01 per share, of Buildscape from Imagine; (ii) Dow acquired an option to purchase 547,998 shares of common stock of Buildscape from Imagine. Upon the investment by Dow, the Company's voting rights in Buildscape reverted back from Imagine to the Company. On November 20, 2000, Dow agreed to invest up to $10 million in Buildscape, LLC for a 12.5% membership interest in Buildscape, LLC, which at the time was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buildscape. As of December 31, 2000, Dow had invested $5 million and held a 6.25% membership interest and as of March 31, 2001, Dow had invested the full $10 million and acquired the full 12.5% membership interest in Buildscape, LLC. F-13

In April 2001, Buildscape LLC entered into a loan agreement for $5 million with Dow and the Company executed a guaranty for 35.1% of the note. On September 12, 2001, Buildscape, LLC executed a Second Amendment and Restated Note ("Amended Note") under which Dow may make advances in the aggregate principal amount of $13,000,000 to Buildscape, LLC. Pursuant to the Company's guaranty, if principal and interest under the Amended Note are not paid, Dow may call the guaranty and the Company may satisfy its obligation by transferring to Dow shares of its Buildscape common stock up to 1,014,000 shares. Subsequently in November, Dow entered into a new loan agreement with Buildscape,LLC, for up to $10 million. The Company has not guaranteed this note. Concurrent with executing this note, Dow was granted an additional 12.5% interest in Buildscape, LLC. As a result of these transactions, as of December 31, 2001, the Company owned (before Buildscape's employee stock options) approximately 40% of Buildscape on a fully converted basis. Imagine owned 24.0% on a fully converted basis and Dow owned 100% of the preferred shares, and approximately 36% on a fully converted basis. As of December 31, 2001, Buildscape owned 75% and Dow owned 25% membership interest in Buildscape, LLC.

Collateralized Notes ("the 11% Secured Notes") The 11% Secured Notes are unsubordinated promissory notes due September 30, 2000 bearing 11% interest. The 11% Secured Notes are secured by a junior lien on the collateral securing the Company's real estate indebtedness and 10 million shares of Greenleaf common stock. On March 24, 2000, the Company and the 11% Noteholders executed a modification to the 11% Agreement. This modification allowed the Company to use 100% of the net sales proceeds from the sale of its Greenleaf shares to be applied against the semi-annual interest payment due March 31, 2000 in lieu of payment against the principal. In addition, the Company agreed to make a principal reduction of $550,000 on the 11% Secured Notes on or before April 30, 2000. The Company was unable to sell a sufficient amount of the Greenleaf shares to meet the April 30 deadline and received a notice of default from the Noteholders on May 8, 2000. F-15

On May 8, 2000, the Company and the 11% Noteholders executed a Forbearance Agreement that precluded the 11% Noteholders from taking any action to accelerate the payment of the 11% Secured Notes, as long as the Company performed pursuant to the terms of the agreement. The terms included funding the balance of the $550,000 principal payment that was due April 30, 2000, increasing the interest rate to 17% and selling additional shares of Greenleaf common stock in subsequent months with the entire proceeds applied to reduce the outstanding principal on the 11% Secured Notes. The Company reduced the principal balance of the notes by $500,000 through August 2000, however, these payments fell below the requirements of the Forbearance Agreement. On August 14, 2000, the Company and the 11% Noteholders executed an Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement with the agent for the 11% Noteholders that allowed the interest and principal due on September 30, 2000, to be paid on December 31, 2000. The terms of this agreement provided that (i) the Company continue to sell the Greenleaf common stock in a reasonable manner, (ii) the Company applied the proceeds from such sales first to the unpaid interest and second to the unpaid principal, (iii) the interest rate remains at 17% and (iv) the Noteholders received a second lien behind Imagine on the Company's 3,119,067 shares of Buildscape common stock. The Company failed to make the required payment on its 11% Secured Notes which was due December 31, 2000. The Company received notice from the agent for the Noteholders declaring all amounts outstanding under the notes immediately due and payable. The Company was also advised that the agent would immediately commence foreclosure proceedings on the collateral securing the notes. The collateral includes certain real estate assets of Riverside and shares of Wickes and Greenleaf. In March 2001, Imagine purchased a majority of the Company's 11% Secured Notes from the noteholders of these 11% Secured Notes. As a result of this action, the agent for the Noteholders cancelled the foreclosure sales mentioned above. In August 2001, Imagine acquired the remaining 25% of the 11% Secured Notes and now owns 100% of the Notes. Imagine and the Company are negotiating to restructure the debt. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully negotiate a restructuring of its debt and the failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. In addition, if a successful restructuring of its debt obligations does not occur, the Company may need to seek reorganization under applicable federal bankruptcy laws. As of December 31, 2001, the Noteholders have a first lien on 8,460,000 shares of Greenleaf's common stock and a second lien on 3,119,067 shares of Buildscape common stock and the assets securing the mortgage debt. Wickes Promissory Note In February 1998, Riverside completed the acquisition of the e-Commerce and advertising operations of Wickes by issuing an approximately $872,000 three-year unsecured promissory note. The terms of the promissory note include interest based on the Prime lending rate plus two percentage points due monthly and principal due in thirteen equal quarterly installments, beginning May 15, 1998 and ending May 15, 2001. In addition, Riverside agreed to pay ten percent of future net income of these operations, subject to a maximum of $429,249 plus interest. F-16

During 1998, 1999 and 2000, the Company was delinquent on the payment of principal and interest on this note. In March 2000, the Company and Wickes renegotiated the terms of the note, deferring all principal payments due for one year, including the delinquent principal payments for November 1999 and February 2000. The interest rate was increased to Prime lending rate plus four percentage points. In December 2001, the Company and Wickes renegotiated the terms of the Note, including extending the maturity date of the Note to December 31, 2002. In addition, the interest rate was increased to a rate of ten percent per annum. Imagine Loan On August 27, 1999, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Imagine pursuant to which the Company borrowed $711,055 in August 1999 and $1,088,945 in September 1999. The loan had a maturity date of August 31, 2000. The loan bears interest at an annual rate of 12.75% and was originally secured by a pledge of 921,845 shares of Wickes common stock and 100% of the outstanding shares of Cybermax stock. A portion of the pledged Wickes stock, 163,690 shares, have been released to the borrower to be sold in the open market. The shares released are required to be sold for the sole purpose of covering interest payments on this debt, interest on the 11% Secured Notes and/or principal and interest on its debt payments due to Wickes. The Company is prohibited from the payment of cash dividends without the prior approval of Imagine under this agreement. On August 31, 2000, the Company and Imagine extended the principal and interest payments that were due on August 31, 2000 until December 15, 2000. The $1.8 million loan balance was increased by $222,000 for unpaid interest and refinancing costs with this extension. The Company did not make any payment of principal and interest on December 15, 2000 and the loan is currently in default. The Company and Imagine are in discussions regarding the extension of the principal and interest payments that were due under the Imagine loan agreement on December 15, 2000. As of December 31, 2001, there were 758,155 shares of Wickes common stock, 3,119,067 shares of Buildscape common stock and 1,000 shares of Cybermax common stock held as collateral on this debt. On April 27, 2001, Imagine authorized the execution of the Company's Guaranty of a $5,000,000 note by Dow to Buildscape ("Dow Note"). The Company executed a Guaranty Note Agreement to guarantee up to 35.1% of the principal and interest advanced under the Dow Note. The guarantee is supported by the Company's 3,119,067 shares of Buildscape Common Stock. If it becomes necessary for the Company to transfer a portion of its Buildscape Shares to Dow to satisfy its Guaranty of the Dow Note, Imagine will release its first lien on such number of Buildscape Shares as will satisfy the Company's obligations under its partial Guaranty of the Dow Note. On September 12, 2001, Buildscape, LLC executed a Second Amendment and Restated Note ("Dow Amended Note"), under which Dow may make advances in the aggregate principal amount of $13,000,000 To Buildscape, LLC. The Company executed a Guaranty for 35.1% of this Dow Amended Note. If payments of principal and interest under the Dow Amended Note are not paid, Dow may call the Guaranty and the Company may satisfy its obligation by transferring to Dow shares of its Buildscape common stock up to 1,014,000 shares.

Mortgage Debt Riverside purchased certain real estate owned by its former life insurance company subsidiary. In connection therewith, Riverside issued a series of seven non-recourse promissory notes (the "Notes") with an aggregate principal amount of $17,798,000 equal to 90% of the purchase price of the real estate parcels. Principal and interest payments are due in annual installments, commencing on June 6, 1997. Each annual installment is calculated based upon equal payments amortized over a term of 20 years. A balloon payment of the remaining principal balance is due on the seventh anniversary of the Notes. The Notes bear interest at a rate adjusted quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus three percentage points. The Notes are collateralized by first priority mortgages covering all of the real estate. On each anniversary of the Notes, Riverside is required to provide the lender with an independent appraisal of the real estate, subject to the mortgages ("Appraised Value"). If the outstanding principal amount of the Notes exceeds 85% of the Appraised Value on the first anniversary or 80% of the Appraised Value with each anniversary thereafter, Riverside is required by December 31 of that year to make an additional principal payment on the Notes in an amount equal to such excess. A parcel of real estate that is subject to the mortgage may be sold by Riverside only in a cash transaction and only with the prior consent of the lender. Subject to certain exclusions, the entire sales proceeds are required to be paid to the lender to fund an escrow account for the payment of property taxes and to pay accrued and unpaid interest and any remaining principal balance on the Notes. On December 31, 1999, American Founders Life Insurance Company agreed to amend certain terms of its mortgage with the Company. In connection with the amendment, (i) all interest due through December 31, 1999 was deferred until the next land sale, (ii) additional interest would accrue on the interest due on June 6, 1999 at a rate of LIBOR plus three percentage points and (iii) as future sales occur, all past due interest and taxes would be paid first; then future interest through June 6th of each year would be paid; thereafter, proceeds would be applied to principal. In 2001, the Company made principal payments of approximately $9,704,000, interest expense and property taxes payments of approximately $812,000, including a prepayment of interest of approximately $36,000. In 2000, the Company had made payments of approximately $2,300,000 of interest expense and property taxes, including a prepayment of interest of approximately $400,000. As of December 31, 2001, in additon to the real estate, there were 2,016,168 shares of Wickes' common stock held as collateral on this mortgage debt. Other Debt On April 4, 2001, the Company executed a non-interest bearing promissory note with the Company's former attorneys, for approximately $59,000. The terms of the note call for monthly principal payments of $5,000, commencing May 1, 2001 and continuing on a monthly basis until the note is paid in full. This note was for payment of previous legal fees incurred by the Company. 8. Commitments and Contingencies The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings that will have a material adverse effect on the Company. F-18

The Company and its subsidiaries have various operating leases for which approximately $85,000, $249,000 and $296,000 was expensed in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. As of December 31, 2001, the Company and its subsidiaries lease its home office property for approximately $145,000 per year. The Company executed the lease for its home office in September 2001 and it expires in August 2004. The Company's total future minimum commitments for noncancelable operating leases are as follows (in thousands): Year Amount ---- ------ 2002 $ 153 2003 151 2004 102 -------- Total $ 406 ======== In connection with the sale of Dependable Insurance Company, Inc. ("Dependable"), a former property and casualty company of the Parent, the Company agreed to indemnify the purchaser for certain losses on various categories of liabilities. Terms of the indemnities provided by the Company vary with regards to time limits and maximum amounts. In 1995, in connection with the sale of Dependable, the Company established a reserve for $300,000 for future losses. Since the Company has not experienced losses on this business, the Company released $75,000 and $150,000 of the reserve in 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company's reserve at December 31, 2001 is $75,000, which the Company believes is sufficient for any future losses. Although future loss development may occur over a number of years, the Company believes, based on all information presently available, that indemnities for any losses that may occur will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In connection with the sale of its mortgage lending operation in 1997, the Company agreed to indemnify the purchaser against losses on the construction loan portfolio that was transferred. The Company currently has 62,500 shares of its Wickes' common stock pledged as collateral for this indemnification obligation. In 2001, the Company was notified of a potential liability under its indemnity and in January 2002, the Company agreed to settle this liability with the purchaser. The Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2001, includes a payable for approximately $135,000 for this liability. The Company believes that these indemnities will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operation. Parent Company Liquidity and Management's Plans The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements, during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company incurred net losses of $1,844,000 and $2,678,000, respectively and, as December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets. In addition, at December 31, 2001, the Company's total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $2,427,000. These factors among others may indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a sufficient period of time to realize the value of its assets. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As described in Note 7, the Company is in default with respect to the majority of its outstanding long-term debt agreements and the balance has been classified as a current liability. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required and ultimately to attain successful operations.

The Company is primarily a holding company, which derives its financial resources through asset sales. At December 30, 2001, such assets consist of 48 acres of land located within Smyrna, Georgia, and 2,860,243 shares of Wickes common stock, all of which are pledged as collateral on the Company's debt agreements. The Company's debt agreements require the proceeds from the sale of these assets to be used to pay principal and interest on the related indebtedness. Accordingly, unless the Noteholders release these assets, the sale of such assets will not generate resources to be used to pay other current obligations or to pay operating expenses until the debt has been repaid in full. The Company is vigorously pursuing the sale of its Georgia property, which management believes may be sufficient to retire the mortgage debt and reduce the balance of the Secured 11% Notes. The Company is also negotiating with its Noteholders to restructure the various debt agreements to establish satisfactory repayment terms and to release a portion of assets held as collateral under the notes, allowing sales proceeds to be used to pay operating costs. The Company believes that corporate assets have adequate value to cover liabilities and management is evaluating all options on liquidating assets and investments to meet the debt requirements. If the Company is unsuccessful in these efforts, it may file a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and operate its businesses as debtors in possession under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. 9. Employee Benefit Plans ESOP The Company terminated its Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust ("ESOP"), effective December 29, 1999 and directed the ESOP to sell unallocated shares and apply the proceeds to the unpaid balance of the note payable to the Company. The ESOP sold 50,000 of those shares to officers of the Company and Cybermax. The Company received promissory notes in the amount of $40,626 for payment of these shares. All of the notes bear an interest rate of 8.50% and are collateralized by the shares sold to these officers. During 2001 and 2000, the Company received approximately $6,500 and $25,300 of principal and interest on these notes. The remaining 8,000 shares were being held pending the outcome of the Internal Revenue Service review of the termination of the plan and were sold upon completion of this process in 2001. Amounts outstanding under these promissory notes are reflected as reductions to Additional-Paid-in-Capital on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. All 58,000 shares were considered issued and outstanding at December 31, 2000. In 2001, the IRS issued a "Favorable Determination Letter on the Dissolution of the ESOP" which means that all distributions have been accepted as properly made and the ESOP may sell the remaining shares that it holds, distributing the proceeds from the sale to Riverside as final payment on the ESOP note payable to Riverside. As a result, the remaining shares were purchased at the market price per share of $.63 by various officers of the Company. Stock Option Plans On May 24, 2001, the Company's 2001 Stock Option Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company. On August 1, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved the grant of options to certain employees and board members. Compensation cost for stock options issued in 2001, determined based on the fair value of the grant date consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, would not have a material effect on net income. Additional information with respect to stock options is as follows: F-20

Fair Value of Financial Instruments In accordance with SFAS 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," information has been provided about the fair value of certain financial information. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each material class of financial instruments covered by the Statement for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Investment in Wickes - The fair value of Wickes is determined by the NASDAQ National Market System quoted market price. Other investments - This includes common stock; the market is determined by the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board price. Long-term debt - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value, as the stated rates of interest represent current market rates. The market value of the Company's investment in shares of Buildscape common stock are not reflected herein as this investment is accounted for under the equity method and there is no readily determined market value.

Related Party Transactions The Company reimburses its share of actual costs incurred from the Company's use of an airplane owned by an affiliate of Mr. Wilson. Reimbursement expenses were $17,000 in 2001, $15,000 in 2000 and $195,000 in 1999. In 1997, the Company established a reserve for approximately $434,000 related to salaries and expenses either incurred in 1997 or incurred in prior years and charged to this affiliate and not previously paid. In 1998, the Company (exclusive of Wickes) incurred $104,000 of costs from the use of the airplane. This amount reduced the reserve recorded in 1997 to $330,000. In 1999, the Parent Company incurred (exclusive of Wickes) $195,000 of costs from use of the airplane, of which $11,000 reduced the reserve. This amount reduced the reserve to $319,000. Included in operations for 2001, 2000 and 1999 is income related to office expenses and tax services either paid to the Company (or charged) by the Company to Wilson Financial of $30,000, $50,000 and $34,000, respectively. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, there was an intercompany balance of approximately $13,000 and $33,000, respectively, owed by Wilson Financial to Riverside related to these net expenses. This balance was reclassified from current assets to non current assets at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Included in operations for 2001 and 1999 is income related to tax and accounting services paid to the Company by a former affiliate of the Company of $9,500 and $65,000, respectively. Included in operations for 2001 and 2000 is income related to software and editorial services provided by the Company to Buildscape of $344,000 and $392,000, respectively. For certain costs, including office space and overhead, business services, human resources and accounting, the Company and Buildscape have entered into a shared services agreement. This agreement allocates expenses to Buildscape based on its proportioned usage. The Company received $441,000, $723,000 and $314,000 for these services in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. F-24

In the fourth quarter of 1997, J. Steven Wilson, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer advanced $160,000 to the Company. The Company repaid this in June 1998. In addition, the Company advanced Mr. Wilson $150,000 in June 1998. Mr. Wilson repaid this in March of 1999.

Subsequent Events ("Unaudited") On January 14, 2002, the Company received a letter, dated January 9, 2002, from the staff(the "Staff") of the Securities and Exchange Commission("SEC"). The leter contained certain comments of the Staff on the Company's filings with the SEC. One of the comments was for the Company to explain to Staff why the Company is not an investment company as defined in Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act of 1940(the "Investment Company Act"). By letter dated January 28, 2002, the Company responded to the Staff's comments and explained the basis for managment's conclusion that the Company is not an investment company and is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Investment Company Act. On March 4, 2002, the Company received a second letter, dated February 28, 2002, from the Staff in which the Staff continued to question whether the Company qualifies for an exemption from the definition of investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Company is reviewing this issue with counsel and preparing a response to the Staff's second letter. 14.
