PART III – NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
As previously reported, the Company has not filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2007 for the reasons set forth in the Form 12b25 filed by the Company on October 29, 2007. The Company also has not filed its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended October 28, 2007 for the reasons set forth in the Form 12b25 filed by the Company on December 5, 2007, as such filing was amended by the Form 12b25 filed by the Company on February 1, 2008, for the fiscal quarter ended January 27, 2008 for the reasons set forth in the Form 12b25 filed by the Company on March 12, 2008, and for the fiscal quarter ended April 27, 2008 for the reasons set forth in the Form 12b25 filed by the Company on June 11, 2008.
Since the spring of 2006, the Company has consummated the sale of all of its ski resorts.
On June 20, 2007 the Company’s Plan of Dissolution was approved by its Board of Directors and subsequently by a majority of the shares entitled to vote on such matter. The Company filed its Certificate of Dissolution in Delaware on September 10, 2007 and its dissolution became effective on September 13, 2007 (the “Dissolution Date”). As of such date, the Company closed its stock transfer books and trading of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board ceased.
Since the Dissolution Date, the Company has not engaged in any business activities except those necessary for the purpose of preserving the value of the Company’s assets, prosecuting and defending suits by or against the Company or its subsidiaries, adjusting and winding up the Company’s business and affairs, selling and liquidating the Company’s remaining assets and properties, including consummating the sale of The Canyons ski resort, paying its creditors and making distributions to stockholders. The Company is in the final stages of winding-up its operations and has reduced its corporate employees to approximately 2 employees.
Pursuant to the Company’s Plan of Dissolution, after provision for all the known, unascertained or contingent debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company and anticipated expenses associated with the continued wind-down of the Company’s operations and dissolution of the Company (collectively, the “Claims”), payment or distributions will be made to the holders of the Company’s Series C-1 convertible participating preferred stock and Series C-2 preferred stock (collectively, the “Series C preferred stock”) in satisfaction of the liquidation preference of the Series C preferred stock before any payments or distributions are made to the holders of common stock. As previously announced in the Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C relating to the plan of dissolution and liquidation filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange

 

 

    Commission (the “SEC”) on July 2, 2007, the Company does not expect to make any payments or distributions with respect to shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s dissolution and liquidation following payment to the holders of its Series C preferred stock. The Company is in the process of determining the amount which will initially be distributed to the holders of its Series C preferred stock and the amount that will be held at the Company with respect to the Claims. Once those amounts are set, the Company will make a filing with the SEC on Form 8-K announcing those amounts. The Company anticipates that such Form 8-K report will be its final report filed with the SEC.
