PART I ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS INTRODUCTION Canterbury Corporate Services, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "the Registrant" or "the Company") is engaged in the business of operating a computer software training company, a management training company and providing vocational training to individuals and corporations. The Company is actively seeking acquisitions of computer software consulting, Internet and other information technology companies. The Company was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on March 19, 1981 and later qualified to do business in the State of New Jersey in April, 1985. The Company became a Registrant by filing and registering with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Form S-18 which became effective on August 20, 1986. Prior to 1988 the Company was comprised of two segments: the vocational school segment and the seminar segment. In November, 1988 the Company sold its seminar segment, which represented less than 2% of the Company's revenues. The Company was then solely a vocational school company. In November, 1992 the Company acquired Star Label Products, Inc., a specialty printing company. In September, 1993 the Company purchased Motivational Systems, Inc., a management training company. In November of 1993, the Company acquired Landscape Maintenance Services, Inc., a landscape maintenance and construction company. In June of 1994, the Company acquired Computer Applications Learning Center (CALC), a computer software training company. In July, 1996, the Company acquired ProSoft Training, LLC., a computer software training company. In November, 1995, the Company sold Star Label Products, Inc. In November, 1996, the Company sold Landscape Maintenance Services, Inc. The Company now operates in the following business segments: computer software training, management training and vocational training. In conjunction with the Board's resolution to concentrate future growth within corporate business services, the Board voted to change the Company's name to Canterbury Corporate Services, Inc. effective March 1, 1994. At that time Canterbury's stock symbol was changed to XCEL. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - COMPUTER SOFTWARE TRAINING SEGMENT In June, 1994, the Company acquired Computer Applications Learning Center (CALC), a New Jersey based computer software training company. Since 1983 CALC has trained corporate workers and managers at its six training centers in New York and New Jersey and on site at Fortune 1000 corporations. CALC is an authorized training center for the following major software providers: Microsoft, Lotus, Borland, WordPerfect, Aldus and Apple. CALC teaches on DOS, Windows and Macintosh platforms. CALC is authorized to provide continuing education units (CEU's) and is an approved sponsor of Continuing Professional Education (CPE) for CPA's in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. During 1995, the Company changed the name of CALC to CALC/Canterbury Corp. to more appropriately reflect Canterbury's role in the corporate training industry. In July, 1996 the Company purchased ProSoft Training, LLC., a Charlotte, North Carolina based computer software training company. ProSoft is also a Microsoft Solution Provider and is an Authorized Training Center for WordPerfect, Lotus, as well as Microsoft. After the purchase ProSoft Training, LLC. became known as ProSoft/Canterbury. Future Plans ------------ This division expects to expand by making acquisitions in the computer software training industry and other information technology companies: by increasing the number of its training centers; by increasing the number of classrooms at each current center; by entering into various national and regional training affiliations; by cross referencing its customer base with other Canterbury training segments; by offering its "live" training programs to its current customer base by interactive multimedia technologies such as CD ROM and C.D.I. and by distributing training and other information technology services and products through its Canterbury Training Affiliates (CTA's). This has permitted CALC/Canterbury to grow from a regional to a national provider of training and education to corporations on a national basis. Management's plans are subject to ongoing review and revision based on their assessment of market conditions. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - MANAGEMENT TRAINING SEGMENT In September of 1993, the Company acquired Motivational Systems, Inc., a New Jersey-based management and sales training company. Motivational Systems, since 1970, has trained managers and sales professionals from many Fortune 1000 companies. Motivational Systems conducts a wide variety of seminars in management and team development, selling and negotiating, interpersonal communication, executive development and organizational problem solving. During 1995, the Company changed the name of Motivational Systems, Inc. to MSI/Canterbury Corp. to more appropriately reflect Canterbury's presence and role in the corporate training industry. Future Plans ------------ This division's planned expansion is projected to occur by making strategic acquisitions in the training industry by offering MSI/Canterbury product on a national basis through its various national training affiliations and by offering interactive, multimedia-based training to its current customer base by accessing technologies such as CD ROM and C.D.I. This will permit the company to grow from a regional to a national provider of training and education to corporations throughout the country by utilizing various distance learning technologies and a national distribution channel. Management's plans are subject to ongoing review and revision based on their assessment of market conditions. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - VOCATIONAL TRAINING SEGMENT The Company's vocational training segment develops, markets and teaches courses that focus upon job-related skills in vocations such as word processing specialist, computer operator, phlebotomy technician, electrocardiography technician, tractor trailer driver and bartender. Its clients are individuals who wish to seek employment, corporations who need to hire these individuals, as well as other corporations that hire Canterbury on a direct basis to train its existing employees. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1994, the Company made several business decisions relating to the future direction of the vocational training segment. The decisionwas made to eliminate dependence on Federal Title IV funding for its students. By the second quarter of Fiscal 1995, the Company moved from a predominately federally funded vocational training business to an operating segment wherein the funding for training will be derived from private financing, as well as by state and local government agencies (e.g. Workforce, JTPA, Private Industry Council) and vocational rehabilitation centers and ultimately by sales to Fortune 1000 companies. With the elimination of dependence on federal funding comes a large reduction in the amount and complexity of government overview and bureaucracy. It was decided to close, consolidate or downsize most of this segment's vocational training centers. The training center in Florida was closed during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1994. The decision was also made to close the operation in Roseville, California. The teachout of these students was concluded by March, 1995. In southern California, the Colton training center was downsized over the first half of 1995 and ultimately closed. The two campuses in Las Vegas, Nevada were combined into one smaller facility. This move was accomplished in November of 1994. This training center can now focus on short-term courses, which will be paid for by individuals and corporations instead of relying on student loans and grants offered by the Federal Government. During 1995, the decision was also made to close the Montclair, California; Sacramento, California and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania campuses. With the phase-out and elimination of Federal Title IV funding for the vocational training centers, previous areas of risk, such as cohort default rates, government regulations, student loan access, accreditation and financial aid processing become much less of an issue for this operating segment. Regulation ------------- Each of the Company's vocational training centers must hold a state license or be registered with the appropriate state authorities to operate as a school. In addition, the Company's training centers must generally comply with standards established by state laws governing proprietary schools. Typically, these laws and the related regulations concern such matters as standards and methods of instruction, qualifications of instructors and management personnel, adequacy of school facilities and equipment, advertising, form and content of contracts between schools and their students and tuition collection methods. The Company holds all required state licenses and registrations, and believes it is in substantial compliance with such laws and related regulations. As a result of these laws and regulations, the Company must obtain the approval of the appropriate state education departments before offering new programs or courses and before implementing any changes in existing programs or courses. Competition ----------- The Company competes with regional and national vocational training companies, which offer similar programs to those offered by the Company and on-the-job training offered by private and government employers, as well as companies offering similar training to corporate clients. The Company believes that the principal elements of competition among vocational training centers are educational reputation, the frequency, schedule and location of classes, as well as the availability of courses of study which include job-related skills. Future Plans ------------ The Company intends to continue to operate its vocational training segment on a smaller scale with no dependence on Title IV funding. DISCONTINUED OPERATION - SPECIALTY PRINTING SEGMENT In November, 1995 the Company sold Star Label Products, Inc. for $4,000,000 in cash and notes. The historical financial information relating to Star is included in discontinued operations in this report. DISCONTINUED OPERATION - BUSINESS MAINTENANCE SERVICES SEGMENT In November, 1996 the Company sold Landscape Maintenance Services, Inc. for $4,500,000 in cash and notes. The historical financial information relating to Landscape Maintenance Services, Inc. is included in discontinued operations in this report. MERGER/ACQUISITION PROGRAM The Company is actively seeking the acquisition of profitable companies in the information technology industry to complement and expand the major core subsidiaries, CALC/Canterbury and MSI/Canterbury. This will allow the Company to offer a wide range of products and services on a national basis. Since corporations accessing computer applications training also need computer and software consulting, network and systems development, systems integration, Internet development and application as well as Intranet conversions, the Company will be able to provide a fully integrated, comprehensive approach to information technology. BUSINESS MODEL - INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES Computer Technical Computer and Network and Systems Internet and Training Training Software Systems Integrators Intranet Companies Companies Consultants Developers ------ Consultants, and Installers Help Lines Developers, and Providers EMPLOYEES As of November 30, 1996, the Company, including all subsidiaries, had 188 employees: 125 full-time employees and 63 part-time employees. The Company believes that the relationship with its employees is satisfactory. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES The Company owns non-operational land and a building in Bedminster, New Jersey which was acquired as part of the Landscape Maintenance acquisition. All other facilities, including its administrative offices, branch locations and sales offices, are leased. The aggregate annual rental payments under leases are approximately $1,263,000.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In November, 1996 the Company settled its lawsuit against the previous owners of Landscape Maintenance. The Company received 150,000 shares of its common stock from the previous owners and a credit towards future lease costs. The Company agreed to assume responsibility for certain insurance claims and to pay management fees not to exceed $100,000 from the profits of a leased building and real estate. In September of 1994, CALC and Canterbury Corporate Services, Inc. received a Complaint from Thomas Arnold, a former employee of CALC, who filed an action alleging a breach of contract for his services as marketing director as well as the return of a notebook computer. This aspect of Mr. Arnold's claim is somewhat limited in damages. However, he has also alleged in his Complaint that CALC used his photograph and information concerning the Company in a marketing publication after he was terminated and without his permission. In this claim, Mr. Arnold has requested punitive damages in the specific amount of $8 million. Discovery in this matter is ongoing and it is the intention of litigation counsel for the Company to make a Motion to Strike the punitive damages claim of Mr. Arnold. It is also the opinion of litigation counsel that this aspect of Mr. Arnold's claim is without merit. To the extent that an award for consequential damages would be made relating to any advertising claim against CALC, the insurance carrier would be responsible to pay for same. It should also be noted that the Company filed a separate action which was consolidated with this litigation, against Mr. Arnold in that he formed a competitive company after leaving CALC and allegedly has solicited clients and/or former clients of CALC. Canterbury Corporate Services, Inc. is seeking an award in damages as well as restitution against Mr. Arnold from interfering with their relationship with their customers. During 1996, the Company and its primary lender, Chase Manhattan Bank, instituted litigation, each claiming that the other party violated the terms of the credit agreement. As a result, the debt was declared in default. In February, 1997, the litigation was settled and all outstandings with Chase were restructured and become due on December 31, 1997. The Company and Chase agreed that all alleged defaults under the previous agreements were permanently waived and the Company would use its best efforts to replace Chase during 1997. The Company is in the process of replacing Chase as its primary lender and is confident that this refinancing should be completed before December, 1997. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF STOCKHOLDERS The Company's Annual Meeting was held on August 29, 1996, at which time three matters were submitted to the Company's stockholders for a vote. The majority of the stockholders voted for the appointment of Ernst & Young, LLP as the Company's independent auditors, adoption of the amendment to the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan and the election of the following Directors: Stanton M. Pikus, Kevin J. McAndrew, Alan Manin, Jean Zwerlein Pikus, Stephen M. Vineberg, Paul L. Shapiro and Frank A. Cappiello. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The Company commenced trading in the Over-The-Counter (O-T-C) market subsequent to the closing of its initial public offering on August 29, 1986. Commencing on January 8, 1993, the Company's shares of common stock began trading on NASDAQ's National Market under the stock symbol of SKIL. Effective March 1, 1994, the Company's stock symbol was changed to XCEL. The high and low bid prices of the Company's common stock from December 1, 1993 through February 21, 1997 were as follows: MARKET FOR EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS 1994 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter High Low High Low High Low High Low Common Stock 4 2 7/8 4 2 5/8 3 3/4 2 1/2 3 3/16 2 1995 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter High Low High Low High Low High Low Common Stock 2 7/8 2 3 7/8 2 1/2 3 1/2 2 1/2 3 5/16 1 7/8 1996 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter High Low High Low High Low High Low Common Stock 2 11/16 1 15/16 2 3/8 1 11/16 2 1/8 1 1/8 1 9/16 13/16 1997 1st Quarter High Low Common Stock 1 21/32 11/16
The approximate number of record holders of the Company's common stock as of November 30, 1996 as determined from the Company's transfer agent's list of record holders was 292. Such list does not include beneficial owners of securities whose shares are held in the names of various dealers and clearing agencies. The Company believes that there are in excess of 5,000 beneficial holders. The Company has never declared a dividend on its common stock and does not plan to do so in the near future. ITEM 6.

(1) Includes CALC/Canterbury which was acquired in June, 1994. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Working capital at November 30, 1996 was $1,926,000. During 1996 the Company and its primary lender, Chase Manhattan Bank, instituted litigation, each claiming that the other party violated the terms of the credit agreement. As a result, the debt was declared in default. In February 1997, the litigation was settled and all outstandings withChase were restructured and become due on December 31, 1997. The Company and Chase agreed that all alleged defaults under the previous agreements were permanently waived and the Company would use its best efforts to replace Chase during 1997. The Company is in the process of replacing Chase as its primary lender and is confident that this refinancing should be completed before December, 1997. Management believes that positive cash flow contributions from the Company's operating segments will be sufficient to cover cash flow requirements for Fiscal 1997. There was no material commitment for capital expenditures as of November 30, 1996. Inflation was not a significant factor in the Company's financial statements. Cash flow from continuing operations for the year ended November 30, 1996 was $1,962,000, an increase of $55,000 over the previous year. During the year, the Company reduced its long-term, bank debt by $2,460,000, and is scheduled to further reduce it by approximately $2,000,000 in 1997. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Fiscal 1996 Compared to Fiscal 1995 Revenues -------- Revenues decreased by $2,467,000 (15%) in Fiscal 1996 from 1995. This decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in vocational training revenues of $2,179,000. During Fiscal 1996, the Company operated only two vocational training centers, while in 1995 there were still seven training centers in operation for all or part of the year. This reduction was anticipated in conjunction with the decision in 1994 to close, consolidate and downsize several training centers. It is anticipated that the current level of revenues from this segment will remain fairly constant in the future. Costs and Expenses ------------------ Costs and expenses decreased in Fiscal 1996 by $820,000 (11%). Again, the primary reason for this reduction is the elimination of five vocational training centers during Fiscal 1995. Costs and expenses for the other operating segments remained fairly constant. Selling expense increased by $134,000 (6%) during Fiscal 1996 over 1995. This increase was caused by a planned increase in sales and marketing personnel in the computer software training segment of $217,000. Offsetting this increase was a reduction in selling expenses for the vocational training segment due to the reduction in training centers. General and administrative expense decreased by $517,000 (11%) in Fiscal 1996 from 1995. A reduction in vocational training expense of $426,000 was again the main reason for the decrease. During 1996, the Company allocated $1,199,000 of corporate expenses to discontinued operations. The Company's provision for doubtful accounts decreased by $52,000 (5%) during Fiscal 1996 over 1995. This was attributable to the reduction in vocational training centers in operation during the year. Interest income for 1996 increased by $256,000 (365%). This increase was the result of the income derived from the Star Label note receivable payments received during the year. For Fiscal 1997 it is anticipated that interest income will increase significantly again due to the payments from the note receivable generated by the sale of Landscape Maintenance Services, Inc. in November, 1996. Interest expense decreased by $269,000 (28%) in Fiscal 1996 over 1995. The reduction in the outstanding borrowings on the term loan associated with the purchase of CALC/Canterbury is the major cause for this reduction. Other income increased by $308,000 in 1996 over 1995. The Company revised its estimate regarding future lease termination payments. In November, 1996 the Company sold its business maintenance segment for cash and notes. As a result of this sale, the Company recognized a gain of $2,275,000, which is net of applicable taxes. Fiscal 1995 Compared to Fiscal 1994 Revenues --------- Revenues increased by $1,589,000 (10%) to $16,549,000 in Fiscal 1995 from 1994. This increase was the net effect of several factors. CALC/Canterbury which was purchased in June, 1994 had revenues in that year of $5,569,000 representing six months of revenue in 1994. 1995 CALC/Canterbury revenues for twelve months increased to $11,381,000. Offsetting this increase was a reduction in vocational training revenues of $3,868,000 for Fiscal 1995. This reduction was anticipated in conjunction with the decision in 1994 to close, consolidate and downsize several training centers. Vocational training revenues will continue to contribute a smaller portion of the consolidated total revenues in the future. Costs and Expenses ------------------ Costs and expenses remained relatively constant from Fiscal 1994 to 1995. Costs in 1994 were higher than normal due to various reserves which were taken against the vocational school segment in conjunction with the decision in 1994 to close, downsize and consolidate several training centers. Consolidated gross profits in 1995 increased to 56% from 52% in Fiscal 1994. Selling expense increased in Fiscal 1995 by $298,000 (16%) over Fiscal 1994. The increase was caused by additional selling expenses for CALC/Canterbury for the full year in 1995 ($1,087,000), again offset by the reduction in marketing expenses for the vocational school segment ($765,000). General and administrative expense in Fiscal 1995 increased by $922,000 (24%). CALC/Canterbury's expenses increased by $1,684,000 due to the fact that 1994 expenses were only for a six-month period. Offsetting this increase was a decrease in the vocational segment of $916,000 due to training center closings and downsizing. During 1995, the Company allocated corporate expenses of $1,296,000 to discontinued operations. The Company's provision for doubtful accounts decreased by $2,075,000 (65%) in 1995 over the previous year. This reduction is attributable to the vocational training segment. As the anticipated downsizing of training centers has occurred so has the necessity for significant bad debt provisions. Interest expense for 1995 increased by $405,000 (74%). This is due primarily to the full year interest expense for the CALC/Canterbury acquisition debt being reflected in Fiscal 1995. Only six months interest expense was incurred in Fiscal 1994 after the June, 1994 acquisition. In November, 1995 the Company sold its specialty printing segment for cash and notes. As a result of this sale, the Company recognized a gain of $1,493,000, which is net of applicable taxes. ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS & SUPPLEMENTARY DATA The financial statements and supplementary data are as set forth in the Index on page 14. ITEM 9.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation --------------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses for each of the the years ended November 30, 1996. The ultimate outcome and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used. Revenue Recognition ------------------- The Company's computer software training segment records revenue at the time an individual attends the training class. The Company's management training segment records revenue based on performance of seminars to its clients. The Company's vocational training segment records tuition revenues ratably over the term of the courses which run for approximately two to eight weeks. Receivables for students' tuition are recorded as of the students' first day of class attendance. Unearned tuition income represents revenue to be recognized over the term of the courses. Statement of Cash Flows ----------------------- For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash refers solely to demand deposits with banks and cash on hand. Depreciation and Amortization ----------------------------- The Company depreciates and amortizes its property and equipment for financial statement purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment (useful lives of leases or lives of leasehold improvements and leased property under capital leases, whichever is shorter). For income tax purposes, the Company uses accelerated methods of depreciation. Amortization of Intangible Assets --------------------------------- Goodwill is being amortized over twenty-five years using the straight-line method. Deferred Income Taxes --------------------- The Company utilizes the liability method to account for income taxes. This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences associated with the differences between financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Earnings Per Share ------------------ Earnings per share is computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding during the year and includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents (options). Fully diluted earnings per share is based on the assumed conversion of preferred stock. Accounting Changes ------------------ In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS 123 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS 123 provides companies with a choice to follow the provisions of SFAS 123 in determining stock based compensation expense or to continue with the provisions of APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The Company will continue to follow APB 25 and will provide the pro forma disclosures as required by SFAS 123 in the November 30, 1997 notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not expect that adoption of SFAS 123 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. 2. Acquisitions Effective June 1, 1994, Canterbury purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Computer Applications Learning Center, Inc. for $7,800,000 in cash. CALC., a Morristown, New Jersey company, provides software training in the New York metropolitan area to both large Fortune 1000 corporations and the public market. The acquisition of CALC was recorded under the purchase method of accounting and included goodwill in the amount of $6,286,953. Results of operations from June 1, 1994 are included in the statement of operations. The pro forma unaudited results of continuing operations for the year ended November 30, 1994, assuming the purchase of CALC had been consummated as of December 1, 1993, is as follows:
1994 ---- Revenue $19,646,458 Income (loss) from continuing operations (1,126,205) Earnings per share: Income (loss) from continuing operations $ (.10)
On July 1, 1996, the Company acquired the business of ProSoft, L.L.C. of Charlotte, North Carolina for 25,000 shares of Canterbury Corporate Services, Inc. restricted common stock and the opportunity to earn additional restricted common shares over the next three years based on various levels of increasing profitability. The 25,000 shares issued at closing are guaranteed by Canterbury Corporate Services, Inc. to have a market value of at least $100,000 ($4.00 per share) at the two year anniversary of the acquisition. Canterbury Corporate Services, Inc. will issue additional shares at that time if the closing price is not at least $4.00 per share. The results of operations included from July 1, 1996 are insignificant and pro forma results from December 1, 1995 do not materially change actual historical reported results for the year ended November 30, 1996. 3. Segment Reporting The Company is organized into three operating segments: computer software training, management training and vocational training. The computer software training segment trains corporate workers and managers as an authorized training center for Microsoft, Lotus, Borland, WordPerfect, Aldus and Apple on DOS, Windows an Macintosh platforms. The management training segment conducts corporate seminars in management and team development, selling and negotiating, interpersonal communication, executive development and organizational problem solving. The Company's vocational training segment develops, markets and teaches courses that focus upon job-related skills in vocations such as word processing specialist, computer operator, tractor trailer driver, bartender, phlebotomy technician and electrocardiography technician. Selected financial information for each segment, which includes an allocation of corporate expenses, is as follows:

All corporate assets have been included in the vocational training segment. Included in loss before taxes for vocational training in 1996 is other income of $242,000 which represents the Company's revision of its estimate regarding future lease termination payments. 4. Discontinued Operation On November 30, 1996 the Company sold Landscape Maintenance Services, Inc. which comprised its business maintenance services segment. The proceeds of the sale consisted of both cash and notes totaling $4,500,000. The note bears interst at 8% per annum and is secured by substantially all assets and business of the buyer. On November 30, 1995 the Company sold Star Label Products, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Smartwork Graphics, which comprised the specialty printing segment. Star Label was sold to its former owner. The proceeds of the sale consisted of both cash and notes receivable amounting to $4,000,000. The note bears interest at 7.79% per annum and is secured by substantially all assets and business of the buyer. Also the Company issued to the buyer an aggregate of 350,000 options to purchase the common stock of Canterbury Corporate Services, Inc. at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (bid price at date of grant). The options expire on November 9, 2000. In the opinion of management, the value assigned to these options, if any, is not significant. The results of operations and the gain on the sale of these segments has been reported as discontinued operations and prior years financial statements have been restated to reflect the discontinuation of both segments. The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Company's discontinued specialty printing and business maintenance services segments:

During 1996 the Company and its primary lender, Chase Manhattan Bank, instituted litigation, each claiming that the other party violated the terms of the credit agreement. As a result the debt was declared in default. In February 1997, the litigation was settled and all outstandings with Chase were restructured and become due on December 31, 1997. The Company and Chase agreed that all alleged defaults under the previous agreements were permanently waived and the Company would use its best efforts to replace Chase during 1997. The Company is in the process of replacing Chase as its primary lender and is confident that this refinancing should be completed before December, 1997. The Company agreed to make principal payments against the term loan throughout 1997. The first payment of $919,000 to be made in March, 1997; $518,750 isto be paid in June and $518,750 is to be paid during September, 1997. The revolving credit facility will remain at $2,800,000 until December 31, 1997, with no additional borrowings or repayments scheduled during Fiscal 1997. The capital leases will be paid as usual on a monthly basis, with any remaining balance due on December 31 1997. Interest rates on all outstanding debt will remain at the same rate as before the restructuring. The term loan interest rate is LIBOR plus 3% or the Bank's prime rate plus 1/2%. The revolving credit facility carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2 1/2% or the Bank's prime rate of interest. The Company has the right to choose which rate is to be utilized on a periodic basis. The 30 day LIBOR rate at November 30, 1996 was 5.375%. As of November 30, 1996, the Company was in compliance with or has received a waiver on all of the debt covenants relating to both the term loan and the revolving credit facility. The long-term debt is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. Aggregate maturities on long-term debt for the next five years, exclusive of obligations under capital leases, are approximately $1,957,000, $4,449,000, $0, $0 and $0 respectively.
