This report is signed on behalf of the registrant (or depositor or trustee). City of: Virginia Beach State of: Virginia Date: February 29, 2012 Name of Registrant, Depositor, or Trustee: Franklin P. Earley, President and CEO Julie H. Stroh, CFO -------------------------------------- -------------------------------- By (Name and Title): Witness (Name and Title): SEC'S COLLECTION OF INFORMATION An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number. Filing of this Form is mandatory. Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and the rules thereunder, and Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 require investment companies to file annual and periodic reports with the Commission. The Commission has specified Form N-SAR for reports for investment companies. The Commission staff uses the information in performing inspections of investment companies, selectively reviewing registration documents filed under the 1940 Act and the Securities Act of 1933 and conducting studies and other types of analyses necessary to keep the Commission's regulatory program for investment companies current in relation to changing industry conditions. The information collected on Form N-SAR is publicly available. Any member of the public may direct to the Commission any comments concerning the accuracy of the burden estimate of this Form and any suggestions for reducing the burden of the Form. This collection of information has been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget in accordance with the clearance requirements of 44 U.S.C. (S)3507. 26 For Period Ending: 06/30/11 File Number: 811-8387 ITEM 102(K) CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES The Company has gone from a going concern basis of accounting to a liquidating basis of accounting. The Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting on September 1, 2010. The Company felt that an effective date of July 1, 2010, the beginning of the fiscal year, was appropriate as opposed to September 1, 2010, the effective date of the settlement agreement, because the financial information from July 1, 2010 to September 1, 2010 was immaterial. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their estimated net realizable value and liabilities are stated at their estimated settlement amounts, which estimates will be periodically reviewed and adjusted as appropriate. Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation and Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation are the principal financial statements presented under the liquidation basis of accounting. The valuations of assets at their net realizable value and liabilities at their anticipated settlement amounts represent estimates, based on present facts and circumstances associated with carrying out the Plan of Dissolution. The actual values and costs associated with carrying out the Plan of Dissolution are expected to differ from the estimated amounts because of the inherent uncertainty and will be greater than or less than the amounts recorded. Such differences may be material. In particular, the estimates of the Company's expenses will vary with the length of time it operates under the Plan of Dissolution. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the aggregate amount or timing of future distributions to stockholders, as long as the plan is in effect, and no assurance can be given that the amount of liquidating distributions to be received will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets in liquidation. The Company is required to estimate and accrue the expenses and revenues associated with implementing and completing the Plan of Dissolution under the liquidation basis of accounting. These amounts can vary significantly due to, among other things, the economy, current financial conditions, interest expense, fees for legal and other professional service providers, directors and officers insurance costs, and miscellaneous other expenses partially offset by estimated revenues from interest income and dividend income. The expenses and revenue were estimated to be $5.2 million and $4.3 million respectively as of June 30, 2011. Going forward, the Company's major expenses will be SBA interest expense, management fees, legal and accounting fees and directors and officers insurance. The company's major revenues will come from interest income and dividend income. These estimates will be adjusted from time to time as projections and assumptions change.
