This Amendment No. 15 to the Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D
originally filed on September 30, 1997 (collectively with all other amendments
thereto, the "Schedule 13D").
As reported by the Company in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
August 31, 2003, there are (i) 12,788,250 Shares of Common Stock outstanding,
all of which are eligible to vote ("Voting Common Stock"), and (ii) 2,007,312
Shares of non-voting common stock ("Non-Voting Common Stock") outstanding, each
as of September 30, 2003. The Partnership owns and is able to dispose of (x)
3,712,276 Shares of Voting Common Stock and (y) 1,235,000 Shares of Non-Voting
Common Stock. In addition, as the sole non-managing member of Makallon, LLC
("Makallon") and having a veto power over the disposal of assets held by
Makallon with value in excess of $10,000, the Partnership may also be deemed to
be the beneficial owner of the 772,312 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock held by
Makallon. The Partnership therefore is, or may be deemed to be, the beneficial
owner of 38.7% of the 14,795,562 Shares of Common Stock (both Voting and
Non-Voting) issued and outstanding but only 29.0% of the 12,788,250 Shares of

------ --------------------------
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and updated as follows:
On November 5, 2003, Paul Makarechian of Makar Properties LLC submitted
a non-binding indication of interest (the "BLR Letter") to CPH Banning-Lewis
Ranch, LLC with respect to the purchase of the assets of CPH Banning-Lewis
Ranch, LLC for approximately $84,000,000, plus additional development costs
incurred after August 1, 2003 (the "Purchase"). Such assets consist of certain
unimproved real property and other assets located in Colorado Springs, Colorado
(the "Property"). The members of CPH Banning-Lewis Ranch, LLC are, among others,
CPH BLR
Page 18 of 38 Pages
LLC (an entity owned by the Company) and Makar Properties, BLR, LLC (an entity
controlled by Makar Properties LLC, which in turn is controlled by Paul
Makarechian). Makar Properties, BLR, LLC is an affiliate of Makallon (which is
controlled by Makar Properties LLC) and is majority owned by Farallon BLR
Investors, L.L.C. Farallon BLR Investors, L.L.C. is an affiliate of the
Partnership and of the Reporting Persons. The Partnership is the sole
non-managing member of Makallon.
The purchaser of the Property (the "Purchaser") would be an entity of which
Makar Properties LLC, Farallon BLR Investors, L.L.C. and a third party will be
members. It is expected that Farallon BLR Investors, L.L.C. would be a minority
member of the Purchaser, that its interest in the Property (through its interest
in the Purchaser) would be reduced as a result of the Purchase, and that the
third party member would provide most of the cash portion of the purchase price
for the Purchase. The purchase is subject to, among other conditions,
satisfactory due diligence results and the final negotiation of satisfactory
terms, conditions and documentation. For the full terms and conditions of the
BLR Letter, see the copy of the BLR Letter attached hereto as Exhibit U and
incorporated herein.
Farallon BLR Investors, L.L.C. currently intends to (but has not agreed
to) consent to the Purchase transaction and participate as a member of the
Purchaser, subject to its satisfaction with all of the terms and conditions of
the transaction and all related documentation. The terms of the proposed
operating agreement for Purchaser have been agreed to among Farallon BLR
Investors, L.L.C. and the other member, subject, however, to certain conditions
and to reaching agreement among such members on certain exhibits and other
documents related thereto.
In connection with the BLR Letter and the proposed Purchase, the
Reporting Persons have communicated with and intend to have further
communications with one or more shareholders,
Page 19 of 38 Pages
officers and/or members of the board of directors of the Company and/or their
advisors and with one or more representatives of CPH BLR LLC.
Also, as previously reported, in order to maximize and protect the
value of the Partnership's investment in the Company and to exercise its
minority protections and other rights, the Reporting Persons have communicated
with and intend to have further communications from time to time with one or
more shareholders, creditors, officers, and/or members of the board of directors
of the Company, potential investors in the Company and/or other third parties
and any financial advisers to the Company regarding the Company, Capital Pacific
Holdings, LLC and their affiliates and subsidiaries (including but not limited
to operations, dispositions, refinancings, recapitalizations, dividends and/or
other strategic corporate transactions that could be undertaken by the Company,
Capital Pacific Holdings, LLC and/or their affiliates and subsidiaries). The
Reporting Persons may in such communications advocate a particular course of
action.
Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal,
none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to, or
could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j),
inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons

SCHEDULE 13D
November 5, 2003
CPH Banning-Lewis Ranch, LLC
c/o Capital Pacific Holdings, Inc.
4100 MacArthur Blvd., Suite 150
Newport Beach, CA92660
Attn: Chairman of the Audit Committee
of the Board of Directors
Re: Banning-Lewis Ranch
-------------------
Gentlemen:
By way of background, and as you know, Makar Properties LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company ("Makar") is the Managing Member of Makar Properties
BLR, LLC, a minority member in CPH Banning-Lewis Ranch, LLC. As such, we are
familiar with the exchange of correspondence between the other two members of
CPH Banning-Lewis Ranch, LLC, namely Banning-Lewis Ranch Venture, Inc. ("Olen")
and CPH BLR, LLC (the "Managing Member") and the various disputes referenced in
that correspondence. We believe that this situation jeopardizes our interest in
CPH Banning-Lewis Ranch, LLC as well as the orderly development of the
Banning-Lewis Ranch property.
We are aware of Olen's desire to liquidate its investment, as well as
an offer received from a third party to purchase the Ranch which would have
yielded a net purchase price of $79,000,000 after commissions (plus or minus
closing costs and prorations). This offer was acceptable to Olen, but rejected
by the Managing Member as being too low. We suspect that a higher offer might
have been accepted by the Managing Member. Accordingly, to end the potentially
destructive dispute, we hereby submit a non-binding indication of interest to
purchase the Property (as defined below) for a purchase price (the "Purchase
Price") in an amount equal to the sum of (a) $84,000,000, plus (b) actual costs
("Improvements") reasonably incurred by the Seller (with the reasonable consent
of the Purchaser) in connection with the development and/or entitlement of the
Property from August 1, 2003 through the date of the Closing, all as more
particularly set forth below (the "Transaction").
Page 31 of 38 Pages
Specifically, this letter outlines the material terms and conditions of
the proposed purchase by a limited liability company (the "Purchaser"), of which
Makar will be a member, from CPH Banning-Lewis Ranch, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (the "Seller"), of the approximately 21,440 acres of
unimproved real property located in Colorado Springs, Colorado commonly known as
the Banning-Lewis Ranch, together with all personal property owned by the Seller
and used solely in conjunction with such real property; easements; rights-of-way
and appurtenant rights; all entitlements, governmental approvals, development
rights, agreements, plans, specifications, drawings, maps, surveys, licenses,
applications, permits, certificates, reports, studies, guarantees, warranties,
choses in action and similar claims and rights; and other intangibles relating
to such property, all to the extent assignable (collectively, the "Property").
The Purchase Price will be payable as follows:
(a) cash will be paid to the Seller on the Closing Date in an amount
not less than $42 million (the "Cash Portion"); and
(b) the Purchaser will issue to the Seller equity interests in the
Purchaser (the "Equity Portion") for the remaining portion of the Purchase
Price, as more particularly set forth below.
As a condition to the Transaction, the Seller shall allocate and
distribute the Purchase Price as follows:
(a) first, the Cash Portion shall be distributed to Olen and the
Managing Member in amounts sufficient to redeem the interests of Olen and the
Managing Member (i.e., through distribution of an amount computed to equal the
amounts that they each would receive under the Seller's Operating Agreement if
the Purchase Price was paid all in cash and the Seller concurrently made
liquidating distributions to its members); and
(b) second, the remainder of the Cash Portion, if any, and the full
Equity Portion will be distributed to Makar Properties BLR, LLC, for further
distribution to Farallon BLR Investors, LLC ("Farallon") in order to fully
redeem their interests in the Seller (and Farallon's interest in Makar
Properties BLR). As a result, if sufficient cash can be raised, Farallon's
interest in the Property would be reduced but Farallon would retain a
substantial portion of its investment in the Property through Farallon's new
equity interest in the Purchaser.
Farallon's and Makar's equity interests in the Purchaser would have
such terms as Farallon, Makar and the additional equity investor in the
Purchaser may agree. While Farallon has reviewed this letter and had discussions
with Makar, the Transaction is subject to such parties agreeing to all
definitive documentation.
Page 32 of 38 Pages
As a matter of disclosure, Farallon BLR Investors, L.L.C. is an
affiliate of Farallon Capital Management, L.L.C. ("FCM"). FCM's affiliates are
shareholders of Capital Pacific Holdings, Inc. ("CPH"), and investors in
Makallon, LLC, which is also a shareholder in CPH. Farallon also has a
longstanding and significant business relationship with the other potential
equity investor in the Purchaser.
If the indication of interest set forth in this letter is acceptable,
the parties shall negotiate in good faith and in commercially reasonable manner
to enter into a definitive and legally binding agreement for the purchase and
sale of the Property (the "Purchase Agreement"). The parties shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and enter into the Purchase Agreement
reasonably promptly after acceptance of the terms and conditions of this letter
by the Seller. The Purchase Agreement shall be consistent with the terms of this
letter, shall include such other customary provisions upon which the parties
agree, and in light of the current disputes, and shall be signed by all members
of the Seller. The Purchase Agreement shall contain full and general releases of
Olen by the parties and by Olen of the parties, except for such members' rights
to receive distributions from the Seller in connection with the Transaction.
1. Purchase Price.
--------------
The Purchase Price will be payable as provided above and will be
subject to Closing prorations and adjustments. Please note that no brokers or
finders have been involved in this offer, and that the Purchase Price, but for
customary closing costs and prorations, will be net to the Seller.
(a) The Purchaser shall deposit $1,000,000 (the "Deposit") into Escrow
(defined below) within three (3) days following the execution of the Purchase
Agreement.
(b) The (i) balance of the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price (net of
the Deposit plus all interest earned thereon) will be paid in immediately
available funds at Closing, and (ii) the Equity Portion will be issued at
Closing.
All funds deposited by the Purchaser shall be deposited into an
interest-bearing account with interest payable to the party entitled to receive
the Deposit pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. If the conditions
to Closing for the benefit of the Purchaser set forth in the Purchase Agreement
are not satisfied, or if the Seller defaults under the Purchase Agreement, all
funds deposited into Escrow, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be
returned promptly to the Purchaser. If (i) the Purchaser defaults under the
Purchase Agreement beyond any applicable cure period, (ii) the Seller is not
then in default under the Purchase Agreement and (iii) the Closing does not
occur, then the Deposit, with all interest earned thereon, shall be paid to the
Seller as liquidated, final and agreed upon damages, and such payment shall be
the Seller's sole and exclusive remedy for such breach or failure to close. At
Closing, the Deposit, with all accrued interest, shall be applied against the
Cash Portion of the Purchase Price.
Page 33 of 38 Pages
2. Escrow; Closing.
---------------
(a) Within three (3) days after execution of the Purchase Agreement,
the Purchaser and the Seller shall open an escrow (the "Escrow") with First
American Title Insurance Company, 633 Third Avenue, New York, New York10017,
Attn: Martin I. Demsky, Senior Vice President (phone 800-437-1234, fax
212-331-1502) ("Escrow Holder").
(b) Provided that all the conditions to Closing set forth in the
Purchase Agreement have been timely satisfied, "Closing" of the sale and
purchase of the Property shall take place on the date elected by the Purchaser
which date shall be no later than fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the
Due Diligence Period. Funds and documents required for Closing shall be
deposited with the Escrow Holder in advance of Closing, and shall be recorded,
delivered, and/or disbursed by the Escrow Holder to effectuate Closing. The
parties need not be physically present at Closing.
(c) Possession of the Property shall be delivered to the Purchaser on
the Closing Date, free of any tenancies or occupancy agreements.
3. Reviews and Inspections by the Purchaser.
----------------------------------------
(a) General. The Purchaser shall have until 5:00 pm Pacific Time the
thirtieth (30th) day after the Seller's full execution of the Purchase Agreement
(the "Due Diligence Period") to terminate the Purchase Agreement if, based upon
the Purchaser's reviews, inspections and/or analyses of the Property or the
feasibility or anticipated profitability of the Property or other matters, the
Purchaser, in the Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion, determines that it
is not in the Purchaser's best interests to acquire the Property. If the
Purchaser determines that it is satisfied with the results of its due diligence,
