TOTAL FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR REINVESTMENT $221,384.36 SUMMARY OF OCTOBER ACTIVITIES ROBERT ARDEN, MARIA'S RESTAURANT, INC. Several personal and telephone conversations have taken place during the month to discuss our loan commitment totalling $40, 000. 00 that was needed to close his purchase of property located 501 N. Brown, Wylie, Texas. Mr. Arden had signed a contract to purchase the property from FDIC for $220, 000. 00. The local FDIC District has approved the contract and has been waiting on their Washington office to ratify the sale. During this interval, Mr. Arden has discovered his Federal Income Tax liability is larger than expected. This new development has caused Mr. Arden to cancel plans for the immediate purchase of this property. This decision has nullified our loan commitment of $40, 000. 00. ART CRISCUOLO, PURCHASE OF PROPERTY LOCATED 3501 EUBANRS LANE, WYLIE The Corporation decided to submit a sealed bid totalling $35, 000. 00 to the FDIC for the purchase of the above-described property. Corporation would then lease the property to Mr. Criscuolo if their bid was accepted. Apparently another party had knowledge of our bid and submitted an offer of $35, 200.00. FDIC didn't accept the top bid but countered with a $45, 000. 00 fixed price. Should the successful bidder reject the counter offer, then the Corporation will have an opportunity to accept their proposal. PHYSICIANS REGIONAL HOSPITAL A principal reduction payment of $30, 000. 00 was due to be paid October 31, 1992, on the note guaranteed by the Corporation to the Provident Bank, Wylie. Payment hasn't been made and after two meetings with management the following problems have prevented the payment to be made as contracted: (1) The elimination of the adolescent psychiatric unit in March has adversely reduced their cash flow during the following months. (2) The cost of building the geriatric psychiatric unit was financed from current cash flow during a severe shortage of income. (3) Hospital census during the third quarter was lower than projected. (4) Hospital anticipated to receive $97, 000. 00 in payments from Medicare for services rendered by the geriatric unit but some $66, 000.00 of invoices were returned unpaid because of clerical errors. 2 (5) Medicare was invoiced at $840.00 per day rate, but the intermediary (Mutual of Omaha) has decided to withhold $190. 00 per diem since this is the geriatric's first operating year. The hospital is assembling the essential data to support their per diem cost of $840.00. They should complete the required information within a three-week period, and they will then file a request for payment of $162,700.00 to pay the calculated short fall through October 31, 1992. There are some positive factors that indicate progress is being made to generate sufficient funds to meet their daily financial obligations. These factors are: (1) October census for the geriatric unit averaged 9. 3 patients for a billable income of $242, 172.00. They expect to receive under the reduced payment during December a total of $187, 395.00. (2) Traditionally November census count and other related medical services have produced larger fee income than other months. This additional income should be collected during the next 60 to 90 days. (3) Hospital has just received another three (3) year certification. (4) They have just received a "Accommodation for Quality" Award, and this accomplishment is very rare in the industry. (5) An arrangement has been made with Internal Revenue to repay their obligation over a twelve (12) month period. Management is hopeful that there can be a partial payment during November on the loan that Corporation has guaranteed. They hope the entire $30, 000. 00 payment can be made before December 31, 1992 . AMERICAN MOLDS, INC. The Texas Air Control Board (TACB) will make an on-site inspection during Monday, November 9. They will then have a meeting with Mr. Dewey Wallace and Mrs. Cheryl Edwards in an attempt to reconcile the differences between the parties. A full hearing is scheduled on November 16 at the TACB home office in Austin if they fail to reconcile the problem with the parties prior to the scheduled meeting date. GOURMET AWARD FOODS A breakfast meeting was held with two principal officers of the corporation. Jim Smith, James Blakey, Don Whitt, and Steve Norwood 3 attended as representatives of the entities interested in the possible relocation of this company to the City of Wylie. We feel the meeting was most beneficial for all in attendance. Mr. Bryon LaMont, Director of Finance/Operations has responded with a letter describing some of their expansion requirements. A meeting is scheduled for November 12 to discuss available financing programs should the Corporation be required to own the new facility. NOVEMBER ACTIVITIES It appears this month will be active because four (4) telephone inquiries have been received from parties requesting financial assistance. A more detailed report will be made when and if sufficient financial information is received to warrant further consideration. RUTLEDGE CRAIN & COMPANY, PC CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS 1601 E. Lamar, Suite 109 Arlington, Texas 76011 Metro(817)265-9989 Fax(817)861-9623 November 2, 1992 Development Corporation of Wylie, Inc. do Mr. C. C. Womack, Executive Director P.O. Box 1467 Wylie, Texas 75098 Thank you for your response to our engagement letter dated October 3, 1992. We understand your desire to agree to a maximum fee for the audit. However, we are precluded by the "Rules of Professional Conduct," that are determined by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy, which is an agency of the State of Texas. For your reference, we are enclosing a copy of the rules. Please read Section 501.45, (c) (2) which addresses competitive bidding. • Briefly, we are in the second year of a multiyear contract under which, initially, more than one "certificate or registration holder" proposed to perform the audits of the City of Wylie and Wylie Development Corporation. Given that circumstance, we are permitted only to propose an estimated fee for each year of the multiyear contract. It is our intention to invoice Wylie Development Corporation based on the actual hours we expend on the audit at our established hourly rates for auditing. Please note that last year we invoiced Wylie Development Corporation for less than the fee estimate. Although we cannot assure you that will happen again this year, we have very rarely requested a client pay more than the original fee estimate. We have scheduled the audit to be performed during the week of November 16 - 20, 1992 and look forward to continuing to audit Wylie Development Corporation. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
