General The Registrant, Canal Capital Corporation ("Canal" or the "Company"), incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1964, commenced business operations through a predecessor in 1936. Canal is engaged in three distinct businesses -- the management and further development of its agribusiness related real estate properties, stockyard operations and art operations. Real Estate Operations - Canal's real estate properties located in six Midwest states are primarily associated with its current and former agribusiness related operations. Each property is adjacent to a stockyards operation (three of which are operated by the company) and consist, for the most part, of an Exchange Building (commercial office space), land and structures leased to third parties (meat packing facilities, rail car repair shops, truck stops, lumber yards and various other commercial and retail businesses) as well as vacant land available for development or resale. Its principal real estate operating revenues are derived from rental income from its Exchange Buildings, lease income from land and structures leased to various commercial and retail enterprises and proceeds from the sale of real estate properties. Canal has continued its program of development or sale of what was excess stockyard property. See "Real Estate Operations". Stockyard Operations - As a result of an August 1, 1999 asset purchase agreement, Canal now operates three central public stockyards located in Sioux City, Iowa, St. Joseph, Missouri and Sioux Falls, South Dakota (collectively the "Stockyards"). Public stockyards act much like a securities exchange, providing markets for all categories of livestock and fulfilling the economic functions of assembly, grading, and price discovery. The Company's principal stockyard revenues are derived from a per head charge ("yardage charge") imposed on all livestock and the sale of feed and bedding. See "Stockyard Operations". Art Operations - Canal's art dealing operations consist primarily of inventories held for resale of antiquities primarily from ancient Mediterranean cultures and contemporary art primarily of one artist. See "Art Operations". 1 B. Factors That May Affect Future Results This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company's actual results of operations and future financial condition may differ materially from those expressed in any such forward-looking statements as a result of many factors that may be beyond the Company's control. Such factors include, without limitation: overall economic conditions; competition for tenants in the agribusiness; the ability of the Company's tenants to compete in their respective businesses; the effect of fluctuations in supply, demand, international monetary conditions and inflation on the Company's art operations; the effects of forgery and counterfeiting on the Company's art operations; securities risks associated with collections of antiquities and art; and the effect of fluctuations in interest rates and inflation on the Company's indebtedness. These risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the Company to control, and in many cases, the Company cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. When used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the words "believes," "estimates," "plans," "expects," and "anticipates" and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify forward-looking statements. C. Real Estate Operations General Real estate operations, which relate primarily to Canal's current and former agribusiness operations, resulted in operating income of $0.5 million, while contributing $1.7 million to Canal's revenues for fiscal 2000. Canal is involved in the management, development or sale of its agribusiness related real estate properties at its current and former stockyard locations. During fiscal 2000, Canal sold approximately 75 acres of land for $0.7 million generating operating income of $0.3 million. Included in the 2000 sales was a 45 acre parcel of land located in South St. Paul, Minnesota which was sold to the City of South St. Paul, Minnesota and a 30 acre parcel of land located in St. Joseph, Missouri which was sold to a storage facility operator. During fiscal 2000, Canal experienced moderate success in increasing the occupancy rate in its South St. Paul, Minnesota Exchange Building. The occupancy of this building increased to 60% from 50% during the year. Canal will continue to aggressively pursue additional tenants for this building in fiscal 2001. In fiscal 1999 Canal changed building managers for this property and has made a number of improvements to the building which management believes has made this building more competitive in the South St. Paul market. 2 As of October 31, 2000, there are approximately 184 acres of undeveloped land owned by Canal adjacent to its current and former stockyards. Canal is continuing the program, which it started several years ago, to develop or sell this property. Former Agribusiness Operations In connection with the 1989 sale of its stockyard operations, Canal entered into a master lease (the "Lease") with the purchaser covering approximately 139 acres of land and certain facilities used by the stockyard operations. The Lease was a 10 year lease, renewable at the purchaser's option for an additional ten year period, with annual rentals of $750,000 per year for the first year escalating to $1.0 million per year for the fourth through the tenth years and $1.0 million per year adjusted for CPI increases thereafter. In addition, Canal retained the right to receive income from certain volume based rental income leases with two meat packing companies located near the stockyards. As discussed above, as part of the 1989 agreement Canal retained the right to receive income from certain volume based rental income leases with two meat packing companies located near the stockyards in Sioux City, Iowa and Fargo, North Dakota. The Sioux City, Iowa lease was terminated and the property sold to the meat packer in fiscal 1996. In March 1999 Canal entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the "Settlement") with Federal Beef Processors, Inc. ("Federal") the operator of the meat packing plant in Fargo, North Dakota. Under the terms of the Settlement the packing plant lease was terminated, all litigation between the parties was dismissed with prejudice and fee title to the improvements on the leased property reverted to Canal. In September, 1998 Canal sold a 60 acre parcel of land to the City of Omaha, Nebraska. This sale included the 17 acres of land leased to the stockyards operator. In April 1999, Canal sold to the stockyard operator the 31 acres located in South St. Paul, Minnesota which was subject to the Lease. Finally, in August 1999 Canal bought the operating assets of the remaining three stockyards subject to the Lease from the operator. All the obligations of the lessor under the Lease terminated as of October 31, 1999. Risk Real estate activities in general may involve various degrees of risk, such as competition for tenants, general market conditions and interest rates. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that Canal will be successful in the development, lease or sale of its agribusiness related real estate properties. 3 Competition Canal competes in the area of agribusiness related real estate development with other regional developers, some of which are substantially larger and have significantly greater financial resources than Canal. To a certain extent, Canal's agribusiness revenues are dependent on the ability of the stockyard operations purchaser and the various meat packers with whom Canal has yardage agreements to successfully compete in their respective businesses. D. Stockyard Operations General On August 1, 1999, Canal purchased the operating assets of three public stockyards (formerly subject to the Master Lease between the Company and United Market Services - See "Former Agribusiness Operations") located in Sioux City Iowa, St. Joseph, Missouri and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Public stockyards act much like a securities exchange, providing markets for all categories of livestock and fulfilling the economic functions of assembly, grading, and price discovery. The livestock handled by the Company's stockyards include cattle, hogs, and sheep. Cattle and hogs may come through the stockyard facilities at two different stages, either as feeder livestock or slaughter livestock. The Company's stockyards provide all services and facilities required to operate an independent market for the sale of livestock, including veterinary facilities, auction arenas, auctioneers, weigh masters and scales, feed and bedding, and security personnel. In addition, the stockyards provide other services including pure bred and other specialty sales for producer organizations. The Company promotes its stockyard business through public relations efforts, advertising, and personal solicitation of producers. Actual marketing transactions at a stockyard are managed for livestock producers by market agencies and independent commission sales people to which the livestock are consigned for sale. These market agencies (some of which are owned and operated by the Company) and independent sales people receive commissions from the seller upon settlement of a transaction and the stockyard receives a yardage fee on all livestock using the facility which is paid within twenty-four hours of the sale. Yardage fees vary depending upon the type of animal, the extent of services provided by the stockyard, and local competition. Yardage revenues are not directly dependent upon market prices, but rather are a function of the volume of livestock handled. In general, stockyard livestock volume is dependent upon conditions affecting livestock production and upon the market agencies and independent commission sales people which operate at the stockyards. Stockyard operations are seasonal, with greater volume generally experienced during the first and fourth quarters of each fiscal year, during which periods livestock is generally brought to market. 4 As discussed above, virtually all of the volume at Canal's Sioux Falls stockyards is handled through market agencies and independent commission sales people, while the St. Joseph and Sioux City stockyards have solicitation operations of their own which accounts for approximately 50% and 10% of their livestock volume annually, respectively. Canal intends to continue its soliciting efforts at its St. Joseph and Sioux City stockyards in fiscal 2001. Further, Canal tries to balance its dependence on market agencies and independent commission sales people in various ways, including: developing solicitation operations of its own; direct public relations; advertising and personal solicitation of producers on behalf of the stockyards; providing additional services at the stockyards to attract sellers and buyers; and providing incentives to market agencies and independent commission sales people for increased business. Stockyard operations resulted in operating income of approximately $0.5 million while contributing approximately $4.1 million to Canal's revenues for fiscal 2000. Risk Stockyard activities in general may involve various degrees of risk, such as competition from other regional stockyards and sale barns, general market conditions and to a lesser extent interest rates. Competition Canal competes in the area of public stockyards with other regional public stockyards and sale barns, some of which are substantially larger and have greater financial resources than Canal. To a certain extent, Canal's stockyard revenues are dependent on the ability of the market agencies and independent commission sales people at each of Canal's stockyard locations to compete within the region. E. Art Operations General Canal established its art operations in October 1988 by acquiring a significant inventory for resale of antiquities primarily from the ancient Mediterranean cultures. In November 1989, Canal expanded its art operations by entering into a cost and revenue sharing agreement with a New York City gallery for the exclusive representation of Jules Olitski, a world renowned artist of contemporary paintings. As part of this agreement Canal purchased a number of Olitski paintings which it holds for resale with a book value of approximately $624,000 at October 31, 2000. The representation agreement expired December 1, 1994 and Canal now operates independently in the marketing of its contemporary art inventory. 5 Due to general economic conditions and the softness of the art markets, Canal has not purchased inventory in several years. However, Canal continues its marketing efforts to sell its existing art inventory through various consignment agreements and at public auctions. Antiquities and contemporary art represented 45% ($542,758) and 55% ($653,899) and 44% ($542,758) and 56% ($692,149) of total art inventory at October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Canal sells its art primarily through two sources, in galleries and at art auctions. In the case of sales in galleries, the Company has consignment arrangements with various art galleries in the United States. In these arrangements Canal consigns its pieces at specific prices to the gallery. In the case of auctions, the Company primarily consigns its art pieces to the two largest auction houses for their spring and fall art auctions. The Company assigns a minimum acceptable price on the pieces consigned. The auction house negotiates a commission on the sale of major pieces. The pieces can be withdrawn at any time before or during the auction. There are no significant differences between the prices obtained in galleries and those obtained at auction. Art operations resulted in an operating loss of approximately $16,000 while contributing approximately $52,000 to Canal's revenues for fiscal 2000. Risk Dealing in art in general involves various degrees of risk. There can be no assurance that the operations will be profitable. The success of a program of this nature is dependent at least in part, on general economic conditions, including supply, demand, international monetary conditions and inflation. There can be no assurance that Canal will be able to sell its art inventory at a price greater than or equal to its acquisition costs or be able to turn over its art inventory at a desirable rate. In addition, forgery and counterfeiting are risks inherent in the art industry. However, Canal and its associates, through their experience and certain precautionary measures taken in the purchasing process, are confident that this risk has been minimized. Moreover, there are security risks associated with collections of antiquities and art, including problems of security in their storage, transportation and exhibition. Canal has procured insurance to cover such risks. Competition Canal competes in its art operations with investment groups and other dealers, some of whom are substantially larger and have greater financial resources and staff than Canal. There may be a number of institutions and private collectors and dealers who may attempt to acquire the same pieces of art at the same time as Canal, particularly at auction. Similarly, there may be a number of dealers offering similar pieces of art, thereby exerting a downward pressure on prices. 6 F. Investments Available for Sale Canal has an investment in a company in which it, together with other affiliated entities, comprise a reporting group for regulatory purposes. It is important to note that it is the group (as defined) that can exercise influence over this company, not Canal. Accordingly, this investment does not qualify for consolidation as a method of reporting. Certain of Canal's officers and directors also serve as officer and/or directors of this company. This investment (in which Canal's ownership interest is approximately 2%) is carried at market value and any unrealized gains or losses are reflected in Stockholders' Equity. The realized gains or losses, if any, are recognized in operating results. Canal recognized unrealized losses on investments of $zero, $86,000 and $873,000 for the years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, which are shown as a separate component of Stockholders' Equity. On May 3, 2000 the company Canal has invested in filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. At October 31, 2000, Canal determined that the decline in market value of its investment in this company was permanent, and accordingly, recognized a realized loss on investments in marketable securities of $466,917 in fiscal 2000. In accordance with Canal's accounting policies, the fiscal 2000 realized loss of $466,917 resulted in a current year charge to Stockholders' Equity of $123,192 because the balance of $343,725 had been charged directly to Stockholders' Equity in prior years. G. Employees At December 31, 2000, Canal had approximately 100 employees. 7 ITEM 2. Properties Canal's real estate properties located in six Midwest states are primarily associated with its current and former agribusiness related operations. Each property is adjacent to a stockyard operation (three of which are once again operated by the company) and consist, for the most part, of an Exchange Building (commercial office space), land and structures leased to third parties (meat packing facilities, rail car repair shops, truck stops, lumber yards and various other commercial and retail businesses) as well as vacant land available for development or resale. As landlord, Canal's management responsibilities include leasing, billing, repairs and maintenance and overseeing the day to day operations of its properties. Canal's properties at October 31, 2000 include: Leased Held for Year Total Exchange Stkyds to Third Develop- Location Acquired Site(2) Bldgs.

Legal Proceedings Canal and its subsidiaries are from time to time involved in litigation incidental to their normal business activities, none of which, in the opinion of management, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Company. Canal or its subsidiaries are party to the following litigation: Canal Capital Corporation v. Valley Pride Pack, Inc. Canal commenced an action in U.S. District Court in Minnesota on September 23, 1997, as the assignee of United Market Services Company, against Valley Pride Pack, Inc. (formerly Pine Valley Meats, Inc. and referred to herein as "Pine Valley") to recover unpaid livestock fees and charges (estimated to be as much as $1,000,000) due from Pine Valley under a 1936 Agreement between the predecessors of Pine Valley and Canal. Upon Pine Valley's motion, the Court entered an order dated February 23, 1998 granting summary judgment and dismissing Canal's complaint. Canal appealed the dismissal to the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, which reversed the dismissal and reinstated Canal's complaint. On April 9, 1999, Pine Valley served an answer and counterclaim in which it denied any liability for livestock fees and alleged that the 1936 Agreement violates Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Minnesota Antitrust Law. Pine Valley alleges any livestock fee obligation under the 1936 Agreement constitutes an illegal tying arrangement whereby Canal's predecessor attempted to tie the purchase of land for the operation of the meat packing plant to the purchase of cattle at the stockyards by assessing yardage fees on all cattle purchased for slaughter at the packing plant even if the stockyards provides no services with respect to the cattle. Pine Valley seeks as relief a declaratory judgment that the 1936 Agreement is unenforceable, an injunction preventing Canal from enforcing the fee provisions of the 1936 Agreement, and treble damages for the alleged violation by Canal and its predecessor of the federal and state antitrust laws, together with attorneys' fees. Pine Valley has not specified a dollar amount of the alleged antitrust damages which it has stated is the amount paid by Pine Valley in livestock fees. On December 20, 2000, the U.S. District Court in Minnesota ruled in Canal's favor granting its motion for summary judgment, thereby establishing Pine Valley's liability to Canal for unpaid livestock fees. Additionally, the court denied all of Pine Valley's assorted defenses and counter claims. This matter will now be set for trial to determine the amount of damages due Canal from Pine Valley. 9 ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Shareholders None. 10 PART II ITEM 5.

Selected Financial Data (continued..) NOTES: (1) The revenue decrease was due primarily to a $4.1 million decrease in sales of real estate coupled with the elimination of $0.6 million ground lease income, which decreases were offset to a certain extent by a $3.1 million increase in revenues from stockyard operations (represents a full year operation in fiscal 2000 as compared to three months in fiscal 1999). (2) The revenue increase was due primarily to a $3.4 million increase in sales of real estate coupled with the $1 million of revenue from the new stockyard operations. (3) The revenue decrease was due primarily to a $1.1 million decrease in sales of real estate. (4) The revenue decrease was due primarily to a $2.7 million decrease in sales of real estate. (5) The revenue increase was due primarily to a $4.4 million increase in sales of real estate which was attributable to the Sioux City, Iowa lease termination and property sale. (6) Includes a $3.8 million gain on the sale of real estate offset by a $1.7 million loss from art operations which included a $1.5 million increase in the art inventory valuation allowance. (7) Weighted average number of diluted shares have been calculated to give effect to certain convertible notes issued in March 1994. (8) For discussion of material uncertainties and commitments, see Notes 12 and 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statement. 13 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION Results of Operations - General While the Company is currently operating as a going concern, certain significant factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations in eight of the last ten years and is involved in litigation with a meat packer located in South St. Paul, Minnesota. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the resolution of these uncertainties (See Notes 1 and 17). Additionally, the accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Canal recognized a net loss of $0.9 million for 2000 as compared to the 1999 net income of $1.3 million and the 1998 net loss of $1.4 million. After recognition of preferred stock dividend payments (paid in additional shares of preferred stock for each of fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998) of $266,000 in 2000, $235,000 in 1999 and $200,000 in 1998, the results attributable to common stockholders were a net loss of $1.3 million in 2000, net income of $1.1 million in 1999 and a net loss of $1.6 million in 1998. Canal's 2000 net loss of $0.9 million is due primarily to a $0.5 million realized loss on investments and marketable securities (reflecting a permanent diminution in the investments value) combined with a significant decrease in gains on real estate sales ($2.1 million) in the current year. These decreases were offset to a certain extent by a $0.4 million increase in income from stockyard operations (reflecting a full years operation in fiscal 2000 as compared to three months in fiscal 1999) and recognition of a $0.1 million extraordinary gain on early retirement of debt. Canal's 1999 net income of $1.3 million is due primarily to a $1.9 million increase in its gain on sales of real estate (due to a $3.4 million increase in real estate sales) in the current year. This was offset to a certain extent by a $0.8 million decrease in Canal's real estate operations rental income, which was the result of Canal's sale of certain income producing property including the Omaha, Nebraska property in September 1998 and the 31 acres leased for stockyard operations located in South St. Paul, Minnesota in April 1999. Canal's revenues from continuing operations consist of revenues from its real estate operations, stockyard operations (twelve months in fiscal 2000, three months in fiscal 1999 and zero months in fiscal 1998) and art operations. Due to general economic conditions and more specifically a depressed national art market, Canal's aggregate revenues from art sales and the prices at which sales were made have significantly declined in recent years. Revenues in 2000 decreased by $1.8 million to $5.8 million as compared with 1999 revenues which had increased by $3.1 million to $7.6 million from 1998 revenues of $4.5 million. As discussed above, the fiscal 14 2000 decrease is due primarily to the $4.1 million decrease in sales of real estate coupled with the elimination of the ground lease and volume based rental incomes of $0.6 million, which were offset to a certain extent by a $3.1 million increase in revenue from stockyard operations (reflecting a full year's operation in fiscal 2000 as compared to three months of operations in fiscal 1999). The fiscal 1999 increase was due primarily to the $3.4 million increase in sales of real estate; the inclusion (fiscal 1999 only) of revenues from Canal's newly acquired stockyard operations of $1.0 million, which were offset by a $0.8 million decrease in rental income from real estate operations. Capital Resources and Liquidity While the Company is currently operating as a going concern, certain significant factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations in eight of the last ten years and is involved in litigation with a meat packer located in South St. Paul, Minnesota. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the resolution of these uncertainties (See Notes 1 and 17). Additionally, the accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. On January 8, 1998, the Company issued $3,700,000 of variable rate mortgage notes due May 15, 2001. The purchasers of these notes included certain entities controlled by the Company's Chairman, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and members of their families. The notes carried interest at the highest of four variable rates, determined on a quarterly basis. These notes, among other things, prohibit Canal from becoming an investment company as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940; require Canal to maintain minimum net worth; restrict Canal's ability to pay cash dividends or repurchase stock; require principal prepayments to be made only out of the proceeds from the sale of certain assets, and required the accrual of additional interest (to be paid at maturity) of approximately three percent per annum. On July 29, 1999 the above notes were amended to extend the maturity date to May 15, 2003; to fix the interest rate at 10% per annum; to agree that the additional interest due to the holders of the notes shall become current and be treated as principal due under the notes; and to have certain of the holders loan the Company $525,000 in additional financing, the proceeds of which was used to repay in full certain of the holders of the notes. As a result, the notes are now held in total by the Company's Chief Executive Officer and members of his family. 15 On January 10, 2000, the above notes were further amended to have the noteholders loan the Company $1,725,000 in additional financing, the proceeds of which was used to repay in full all of the Company's outstanding non related party long-term debt. As of October 31, 2000, the balance due under these notes was $2,522,000, all of which is classified as long-term debt-related party. Cash and cash equivalents of $87,000 at October 31, 2000 decreased $329,000 or 79.0% from $416,000 at October 31, 1999. Net cash used by operations in fiscal 2000 was $0.7 million. Substantially all of the 2000 net proceeds from the sale of real estate of $0.7 million and the proceeds from the sale of art of $0.1 million less the cash used in operations was used to reduce outstanding debt and accrued expenses. During 2000 Canal reduced its variable rate mortgage notes by $0.1 million and other long-term debt by $0.1 million for a net 2000 debt reduction of $0.2 million. At October 31, 2000 the Company's current liabilities exceed current assets by $0.6 million (which was an increase of $0.9 million) as compared to October 31, 1999 when the Company's current liabilities exceeded current assets by $0.3 million, which represented a decrease of $0.7 million from 1998. The fiscal 2000 change in the Company's liquidity is due primarily to the significant decrease in real estate sales experienced during the year. The only required principal repayments under Canal's debt agreements for fiscal 2001 will be from the proceeds (if any) of the sale of certain assets. Canal continues to closely monitor and reduce where possible its operating expenses and plans to continue to reduce the level of its art inventories to enhance current cash flows. Management believes that its income from operations combined with its cost cutting program and planned reduction of its art inventory will enable it to finance its current business activities. There can, however, be no assurance that Canal will be able to effectuate its planned art inventory reductions or that its income from operations combined with its cost cutting program in itself will be sufficient to fund operating cash requirements. 2000 COMPARED TO 1999 Real Estate Revenues Real estate revenues for 2000 of $1.7 million accounted for 28.7% of the 2000 revenues as compared to revenues of $6.4 million or 84.9% for 1999. Real estate revenues are comprised of rental income from Exchange Building (commercial office space) rentals and other lease income from the rental of vacant land and certain structures (58.7% and 15.8%), Ground lease income (0.0% and 9.2%), volume based rental income (0.0% and 0.3%) and sale of real 16 estate and other income (41.3% and 74.7%) for 2000 and 1999, respectively. The 2000 decrease is due primarily to the $4.1 million decrease in sales of real estate, combined with decreases in ground lease ($0.6) and volume based ($0.1)rental income. The decrease in ground lease income of $0.6 million is due to Canal's August 1, 1999 purchase of the stockyard assets in Sioux City, Iowa; St. Joseph, Missouri and Sioux Falls, South Dakota, thereby terminating the ground lease. The decrease in volume based rental income of $0.1 million is due to the permanent closing of the packing plant in West Fargo, North Dakota by its operator in January, 1999. The percentage variations in the year to year comparisons are due primarily to the significant decrease in real estate sales for fiscal 2000. Real Estate Expenses Real estate expenses for 2000 of $1.2 million decreased by $2.3 million (66.7%) from $3.5 million in 1999. Real estate expenses are comprised of labor, operating and maintenance (36.6% and 14.3%), depreciation and amortization (9.4% and 4.4%), taxes other than income taxes (11.8% and 9.0%), cost of real estate sold (34.8% and 69.9%),and general and administrative and other expenses (7.4% and 2.4%) for 2000 and 1999, respectively. The 2000 decrease in real estate expenses is due primarily to the $2.0 million decrease in cost of real estate sold in fiscal 2000. The percentage variations in year to year comparisons is also due primarily to the decrease in the cost of real estate sold in fiscal 2000. Art Operations Management estimates it may take approximately five years to dispose of its current art inventory. The Company's ability to dispose of its art inventory is dependent at least in part, on general economic conditions, including supply, demand, international monetary conditions and inflation. Additionally, the art market itself is a very competitive market. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that Canal will be successful in disposing of its art inventory within the time frame discussed above. Canal has its art inventory appraised by independent appraisers annually. The 2000 appraisal covered approximately 57% of the inventory value. The appraised values estimate the current market value of each piece giving consideration to Canal's practices of engaging in consignment, private and public auction sales. The net realizable value of the remaining 43% of the inventory was estimated by management based in part on the Company's history of losses sustained on art sales in the current and previous years and in part on the results of the independent appraisals done. In fiscal 2000 Canal applied against sales $50,750 of the valuation allowance against its art inventory, thereby, decreasing the total valuation allowance to $2,727,950 as of October 31, 2000 as compared to $2,778,700 and $3,400,000 at October 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 17 The valuation allowance represents management's best estimate of the loss that will be incurred by the Company in the normal course of business. The estimate is predicated on past history and the information that was available at the time that the financial statements were prepared. The provision contemplates the loss that could result if the level of sale anticipated was achieved. The nature of art makes it difficult to determine a replacement value. The most compelling evidence of a value in most cases is an independent appraisal. The price at which pieces are consigned is usually in line with appraisals and above the cost of the piece. The amount classified as current represents management's best estimate of the minimum amount of inventory that will be sold in this market. Management believes that the provision discussed above has effectively reduced inventory to its estimated net realizable value. The Company will continually monitor the market for its art inventory and will make adjustments to the carrying value of its art inventory as such adjustments become necessary. The Company's plan to sell inventory at auction is contemplated in the normal course of business. Auction in this context is one of the usual channels used for disposal of its art inventory. The proceeds from these sales are used to reduce the Company's outstanding debt and finance current operations. If these sales are not made the Company has alternate means of raising cash such as sales of real estate, raising of new capital and further restructuring of debt. Some of these measures were successfully implemented in fiscal 2000. Art Revenues Art revenues for 2000 of $52,000 decreased $134,000 or 72.4% from $186,000 in 1999. Art revenues are comprised of proceeds from the sale of antiquities and contemporary art (100.0% and 100.0%) and commission income on sale of art owned by third parties (0.0% and 0.0%) for 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company's art inventory was reduced through sales by $0.1 million and $0.8 in fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively. Art Expenses Art expenses for 2000 of $0.1 million decreased by $0.2 million (74.4%) from $0.3 million in 1999. Art expenses (excluding valuation allowances) consisted of the cost of art sold (75.5% and 95.1%) and selling, general and administrative expenses (24.5% and 4.9%) for 2000 and 1999, respectively. Included in art expenses is a $0.1 million and a $0.6 million reduction in the valuation allowance against the Company's art inventory (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) for fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively. 18 General and Administrative General and administrative expenses for 2000 of $1.3 million increased slightly (2.7%) from $1.3 million in 1999. The major components of general and administrative expenses are officers salaries (34.5% and 33.6%), rent (6.8% and 8.2%), legal and professional fees (9.4% and 3.4%), insurance (15.2% and 10.6%) and office salaries (9.2% and 8.7%) for 2000 and 1999, respectively. The percentage increase in legal and professional fees is due to a sharp increase in legal fees associated with the Pine Valley lawsuit. The percentage increase in insurance reflects a combination of increased coverage and increases in premiums charged. The percentage increases in officers salaries and office salaries reflects salary increases given in fiscal 2000. Interest and Other Income Interest and other income of $140,000 for 2000 decreased $10,000 (7.1%) from $150,000 in fiscal 1999. Interest and other income amounts are comprised primarily of dividend and interest income. Interest Expense Interest expense for 2000 of $0.3 million decreased by $0.2 million (44.8%) from $0.5 million in 1999. The 2000 decrease is due primarily to the aggregate reduction in the outstanding debt. Interest rates on Canal's variable rate mortgage notes averaged 10.00% in 2000 as compared to averages of 11.00% and 12.00% in fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively. At October 31, 2000 the outstanding balance of these notes was $2,522,000. Realized Loss on Investments At October 31, 2000, Canal determined that the decline in the market value of its investments available for sale was permanent, and accordingly, recognized a realized loss of approximately $467,000 in fiscal 2000. There were no such realized losses in fiscal 1999. In accordance with Canal's accounting policies, the fiscal 2000 realized loss of $466,917 resulted in a current year charge to Stockholders' Equity of $123,192 because the balance of $343,725 had been charged directly to equity in prior years. Other Expense Other expense of $179,000 for 2000 increased $40,000 (29.2)from $139,000 in fiscal 1999. 19 1999 COMPARED TO 1998 Real Estate Revenues Real estate revenues for 1999 of $6.4 million accounted for 84.9% of the 1999 revenues as compared to revenues of $4.2 million or 95.1% for 1998. Real estate revenues are comprised of rental income from Exchange Building (commercial office space) rentals and other lease income from the rental of vacant land and certain structures (15.8% and 32.5%), Ground lease income (9.2% and 21.8%), volume based rental income (0.3% and 3.0%) and sale of real estate and other income (74.7% and 42.7%) for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The 1999 increase is due primarily to the $3.4 million increase in sales of real estate, offset by the combined $0.8 million decrease in rental ($0.4) ground lease ($0.3) and volume based ($0.1) income. The decrease in rental income of $0.4 million is due primarily to Canal's September 1998 sale of its Omaha, Nebraska property. The decrease in ground lease income of $0.3 million is due to the April 1999 sale of the South St. Paul, Minnesota stockyard property combined with Canal's August 1, 1999 purchase of the stockyard assets in Sioux City, Iowa; St. Joseph, Missouri and Sioux Falls, South Dakota, thereby terminating the ground lease. The decrease in volume based rental income of $0.1 million is due to the permanent closing of this plant by its operator in January, 1999. The percentage variations in the year to year comparisons are due to the significant increase in real estate sales for fiscal 1999. Real Estate Expenses Real estate expenses for 1999 of $3.5 million increased by $1.0 million (41.7%) from $2.5 million in 1998. Real estate expenses are comprised of labor, operating and maintenance (14.3% and 36.2%), depreciation and amortization (4.4% and 8.8%), taxes other than income taxes (9.0% and 9.9%), cost of real estate sold (69.9% and 41.5%),and general and administrative and other expenses (2.4% and 3.6%) for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The 1999 increase in real estate expenses is due primarily to the $1.4 million increase in cost of real estate sold offset by the combined $0.4 million decrease in other real estate expenses which resulted primarily from Canal's September 1999 sale of the Omaha, Nebraska property. The percentage variations in year to year comparisons is due primarily to the increase in the cost of real estate sold for fiscal 1999. 20 Art Operations Management estimates it may take approximately five years to dispose of its current art inventory.

Art revenues are comprised of proceeds from the sale of antiquities and contemporary art (100.0% and 100.0%) and commission income on sale of art owned by third parties (0.0% and 0.0%) for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company's art inventory was reduced through sales by $0.8 million and $0.4 in fiscal years 1999 and 1998, respectively. Art Expenses Art expenses for 1999 of $0.3 million decreased by $1.1 million (81.3%) from $1.4 million in 1998. Art expenses (excluding valuation allowances) consisted of the cost of art sold (95.1% and 95.3%) and selling, general and administrative expenses (4.9% and 4.7%) for 1999 and 1998, respectively. Included in art expenses is a $0.6 million reduction and a $0.6 million increase in the valuation allowance against the Company's art inventory (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) for fiscal years 1999 and 1998, respectively. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses for 1999 of $1.3 million increased $0.1 million (5.3%) from $1.2 million in 1998. The major components of general and administrative expenses are officers salaries (33.6% and 35.4%), rent (8.2% and 7.8%), legal and professional fees (3.4% and 9.9%), insurance (10.6% and 12.9%) and office salaries (8.7% and 9.2%) for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The percentage increase in legal and professional fees is due to a sharp increase in legal fees associated with the Pine Valley lawsuit. The percentage increase in rent reflects the increase in rent expense for Canal's New York office space. The percentage decreases in officers salaries, insurance and office salaries is a result of the aggregate increase in total general and administrative expenses for fiscal 1999. Interest and Other Income Interest and other income of $150,000 for 1999 increased $2,000 (1.8%) from $148,000 in fiscal 1998. Interest and other income amounts are comprised primarily of dividend and interest income. 22 Interest Expense Interest expense for 1999 of $0.5 million decreased by $0.3 million (41.7%) from $0.8 million in 1998. The 1999 decrease is due primarily to the aggregate reduction in the outstanding debt. Interest rates on Canal's variable rate mortgage notes averaged 11.00% in 1999 as compared to an average of 12.00% in both 1998 and 1997. At October 31, 1999 the outstanding balance of these notes was $833,000. Other Expense Other expense of $139,000 for 1999 was unchanged from fiscal 1998. ITEM 8.

The 1985 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the Company. During the 2000 fiscal year, no options under the 1985 plan were granted and no options previously granted were exercised. At October 31, 2000, options covering an aggregate of 30,500 shares were outstanding under the 1985 Plan and were held by members of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee. The exercise price per share of all outstanding options under the 1985 Plan ranges from $0.13 to $0.25. The expiration dates for outstanding options under the 1985 Plan range from December 2001 to January 2003. Compensation Committee - Interlocks and Insider Participation The Board of Directors (comprised of Asher B. Edelman, Chairman of the Board and Chairman of the Executive Committee, Michael E. Schultz, President and Chief Executive Officer and Gerald N. Agranoff) determines the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Company's other executive officers and administers the Company's 1984 Stock Option Plan and 1985 Stock Option Plan for Directors. In connection with the Company's investment activities, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, through Mr. Edelman, has the authority to invest funds of the Company in securities of other companies. Certain funds of the Company have been invested in the securities of other companies in which Mr. Edelman, other directors of the Company or their affiliates are directors or officers, or in which one or more of such persons may also have invested. Since November 1, 1993, such companies included Dynacore Holdings Corporation (formerly known as Datapoint Corporation).

F-9 F-1 INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS REPORT To the Stockholders of Canal Capital Corporation: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Canal Capital Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries as of October 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related consolidated statements of operations & comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended October 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Canal Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries as of October 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended October 31, 2000, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Notes 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations in eight of the last ten years and is involved in various litigations. All of these matters raise substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Notes 1. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. /s/ Todman & Co., CPAs,P.C. ----------------------------------- New York, N.Y.

SEE NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. F-8 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS Canal Capital Corporation ("Canal"), incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1964, commenced business operations through a predecessor in 1936. Canal was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canal-Randolph Corporation until June 1, 1984, when Canal-Randolph Corporation distributed to its stockholders all of the outstanding shares of Canal's common stock, under a plan of complete liquidation. Canal is engaged in three distinct businesses - the management and further development of its agribusiness related real estate properties located in the midwest, stockyard operations and art operations, consisting mainly of the acquisition of art for resale. While the Company is currently operating as a going concern, certain significant factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations in eight of the last ten years and is involved in litigation with a meat packer located in South St. Paul, Minnesota. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the resolution of these uncertainties (See Notes 1 and 17). Additionally, the accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Canal continues to closely monitor and reduce where possible its operating expenses and plans to continue to reduce the level of its art inventories to enhance current cash flows. Management believes that its income from operations combined with its cost cutting program and planned reduction of its art inventory will enable it to finance its current business activities. There can, however, be no assurance that Canal will be able to effectuate its planned art inventory reductions or that its income from operations combined with its cost cutting program in itself will be sufficient to fund operating cash requirements. F-9 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A) Principles of Consolidation -- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Canal Capital Corporation ("Canal") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("the Company"). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. B) Investments Available for Sale -- Canal has an investment in a company in which it, together with other affiliated entities, comprise a reporting group for regulatory purposes. It is important to note that it is the group (as defined) that can exercise influence over this company, not Canal. Accordingly, this investment does not qualify for consolidation as a method of reporting. Certain of Canal's officers and directors also serve as officers and/or directors of this company. This investment (in which Canal's ownership interest is approximately 2%) is carried at market value and the realized gains or losses, if any, are recognized in operating results. Any unrealized gains or losses are reflected in Stockholders Equity (see Note 4). Investments in Joint Ventures -- Investments in which ownership interest range from 20% to 50% or less owned joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method. These joint ventures are not, in the aggregate, material in relation to the financial position or results of operations of Canal. The carrying amount of such investments was $101,000 at both October 31, 2000 and 1999, and is included in other assets. The operating results of joint ventures accounted for on the equity method, for fiscal year 2000, 1999 and 1998 were not material to financial statement presentation and were therefore included in other income from real estate operations. C) Deferred Leasing and Financing Costs -- Costs incurred in obtaining new leases and long-term financing are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases or debt agreements, as applicable. D) Properties and Related Depreciation -- Properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the properties. Such lives are estimated from 35 to 40 years for buildings and from 5 to 20 years for improvements and equipment. Property held for Development or Resale -- Property held for development or resale consist of approximately 184 acres located in the midwest of undeveloped land not currently utilized for corporate purposes nor included in any of the present operating leases. The Company constantly evaluates proposals received for the purchase, leasing or development of this asset. The land is valued at cost which does not exceed the net realizable value. F-10 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and For Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS No. 121") as of November 1, 1996. SFAS No. 121 prescribes that an impairment loss is recognized in the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. An impairment loss is recognized whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. (See Note 20). E) Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. When properties are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in current income. F) Art Inventory - Inventory of art is valued at the lower of cost, including direct acquisition and restoration expenses, or net realizable value on a specific identification basis. Net realizable value is determined in part by independent appraisal. Independent appraisals covered approximately 57% and 57% of the inventory value at October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The remaining 43% and 43% at October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively was estimated by management based in part on the independent appraisals done. However, because of the nature of art inventory, such determination is very subjective and, therefore, the estimated values could differ significantly from the amount ultimately realized. The cost of art is generally specified on the purchase invoice. When individual art is purchased as part of a group or collection of art, cost is allocated to individual pieces by management using the information available to it. A significant portion of the art inventory remains in inventory longer than a year. Consequently, for financial statement purposes, Canal has classified a portion of its inventory as non-current assets (see Note 8). Antiquities and contemporary art represented 45% ($542,758) and 55% ($653,899) and 44% ($542,758) and 56% ($692,149) of total art inventory at October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Substantially all of the contemporary art inventory held for resale is comprised of the work of Jules Olitski. Stockyard Inventory - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. F-11 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED G) Accounting 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 and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H) Revenue Recognition -- Lease and rental revenues are recognized ratably over the period covered. All real estate leases are accounted for as operating leases. Revenues from real estate sales are recognized generally when title to the property passes. Revenues from stockyard operations which consist primarily of yardage fees and sale of feed and bedding are recognized at the time the service is rendered or the feed and bedding are delivered. Revenues from art sales are recognized using the specific identification method, when the piece is shipped to the purchaser. Art owned by Canal which is on consignment, joint venture, or being examined in contemplation of sale is not removed from inventory and not recorded as a sale until notice of sale or acceptance has been received. Revenues from the sale of investments available for sale, if any, are recognized, on a specific identification method, on a trade date basis. I) Income Taxes -- Canal and its subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income tax return. The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method in accordance with the FASB Statement No. 109. Deferred income taxes, if any, are provided for temporary differences between financial reporting and taxable basis of assets and liabilities. J) Statements of Cash Flows -- The company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents primarily include bank, broker and time deposits with an original maturity of less than three months. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates market value. Canal made federal and state income tax payments of $27,000, $20,000 and $30,000 and interest payments of $257,000, $465,000 and $798,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. K) Comprehensive Income -- Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 requires that comprehensive income and its components, as defined in the statement, be reported in a financial statement. The Company elected early adoption of SFAS No. 130 as of October 31, 1997. The only adjustments for each classification of the comprehensive income was for minimum pension liability and unrealized (loss) gain on investments available for sale. L) Earnings Per Share -- In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 "Earnings Per Share," which requires companies to present basic earnings per share (EPS) and diluted earnings per share. The new standard requires additional information disclosure, and also makes certain modifications to F-12 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED the currently applicable EPS calculations defined in Accounting Principles Board No. 15. The new standard was required to be adopted by all public companies for reporting periods ending after December 15, 1997, and requires restatement of EPS for all prior periods reported. M) Reclassification -- Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. 3. NOTES AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Included in notes and accounts receivable at October 31, 2000 and 1999 were the current portion of notes receivable in the amount of $578,000 and $158,000, respectively, which were generated by real estate and other sales. Notes and accounts receivable is shown net of a provision for doubtful accounts in the amount of $8,000 and $0 for fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. 4. INVESTMENTS AVAILABLE FOR SALE At October 31, the investments available for sale consisted of the following: ($ 000's Omitted) 2000 1999 ---- ---- Aggregate market value..................... $ 69 $192 ---- ---- Aggregate carrying value................... $ 69 $192 ---- ---- Canal has an investment in a company in which it, together with other affiliated entities, comprise a reporting group for regulatory purposes. It is important to note that it is the group (as defined) that can exercise influence over this company, not Canal. Accordingly, this investment does not qualify for consolidation as a method of reporting. Certain of Canal's officers and directors also serve as officers and/or directors of this company. This investment (in which Canal's ownership interest is approximately 2%) is carried at market value and any unrealized gains or losses are reflected in Stockholders Equity. The realized gains or losses, if any, are recognized in operating results. Canal recognized unrealized losses on investments of $zero, $86,000 and $873,000 for the years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, which are shown as a separate component of Stockholders Equity. On May 3, 2000 this company filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. At October 31, 2000, Canal determined that the decline in market value of its investment in this company was permanent, and accordingly, recognized a realized loss on investments in marketable securities of approximately $467,000 in fiscal 2000. In accordance with Canal's accounting policies, the fiscal 2000 realized loss of $466,917 resulted in a current year charge to Stockholders' Equity of $123,192 because the balance of $343,725 had been charged directly to equity in prior years. F-13 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED 5. STOCKYARD OPERATIONS SALE AND SUBSEQUENT REPURCHASE On October 31, 1989 Canal sold most of its stockyards assets to a group formed by a former Executive Vice President and Director of the Company. Not included in the sale was certain land and some facilities previously used by the stockyard operations. Canal entered into a master lease (the "Lease") with the purchaser covering approximately 139 acres of land and certain facilities used by the stockyard operations. The Lease was a 10 year lease, renewable at the purchaser's option for an additional ten year period, with annual rentals of $750,000 per year for the first year escalating to $1.0 million per year for the fourth through the tenth years and $1.0 million per year adjusted for CPI increases thereafter. In addition, Canal retained the right to receive income from certain volume based rental income leases with two meat packing companies located near the stockyards. The income from both the ground lease and the volume based rental leases are included in Canal's operating results as Real Estate operations. In September, 1998 Canal sold a 60 acre parcel of land to the City of Omaha, Nebraska. This sale included the seventeen acres of land leased to the stockyards operator. As part of this transaction, Canal received the stockyards rental payments under the Lease through October 31, 1999 at which time the operator moved the stockyards to a new location. In April 1999, Canal sold to the stockyard operator the 31 acres located in South St. Paul, Minnesota which was subject to the Lease. Finally, in August 1999 Canal bought the operating assets of the remaining three stockyards subject to the Lease from the operator. The August transaction released the operator from any further obligations under the Lease. The income from the stockyard operations for the period August 1, 1999 through October 31, 1999 are reflected in Canal's income statements as Stockyard Operations. As discussed above, as part of the 1989 agreement, Canal retained the right to receive income from certain volume based rental income leases with two meat packing companies located near the stockyards in Sioux City, Iowa and Fargo, North Dakota. The Sioux City, Iowa lease was terminated and the property sold to the meat packer in fiscal 1996. In March 1999 Canal entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the "Settlement") with Federal Beef Processors, Inc. ("Federal") the operator of the meat packing plant in Fargo, North Dakota. Under the terms of the Settlement the packing plant lease was terminated, all litigation between the parties was dismissed with prejudice and fee title to the improvements on the leased property reverted to Canal. The March 1999 Settlement terminated all remaining rights Canal had to receive volume based rental income under the Lease. Revenues from the volume based rental agreements for the three years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $0, $22,000 and $126,000, respectively, all of which arose from the Fargo, North Dakota lease. F-14 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED Canal commenced stockyard operations August 1, 1999 in Sioux City, Iowa, St. Joseph, Missouri and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Stockyards act much like a securities exchange, providing markets for all categories of livestock and fulfilling the economic functions of assembly, grading and price discovery. The livestock handled by the stockyards include cattle, hogs and sheep. Cattle and hogs may come through the stockyard facilities at two different stages, either as feeder livestock or slaughter livestock. The Company's stockyards provide all services and facilities required to operate an independent market for the sale of livestock, including veterinary facilities, auction arenas, auctioneers, weigh masters and scales, feed and bedding, and security personnel. In addition, the stockyards provide other services including pure bred and other specialty sales for producer organizations. The Company promotes its stockyard business through public relations efforts, advertising, and personal solicitation of producers. Canal maintains an inventory of feed and bedding which is comprised primarily of hay, corn and straw. The value of this inventory was $21,000 and $13,000 at October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Actual marketing transactions at a stockyard are managed for livestock producers by market agencies and independent commission sales people to which the livestock are consigned for sale. These market agencies (some of which are owned and operated by the Company) and independent sales people receive commissions from the seller upon settlement of a transaction and the stockyard receives a yardage fee on all livestock using the facility which is paid within twenty-four hours of the sale. Yardage fees vary depending on the type of animal, the extent of services provided by the stockyard, and local competition. Yardage revenues are not directly dependent upon market prices, but rather are a function of the volume of livestock handled. In general, stockyard livestock volume is dependent upon conditions affecting livestock production and upon the market agencies and independent commission sales people which operate at the stockyards. Stockyard operations are seasonal, with greater volume generally experienced during the first and fourth quarters of each fiscal year, during which periods livestock is generally brought to market. As discussed above, virtually all of the volume at Canal's Sioux Falls stockyards is handled through market agencies or independent commission sales people, while the St. Joseph and Sioux City stockyards have solicitation operations of their own which accounts for approximately 50% and 10% of their livestock volume annually, respectively. Canal intends to continue its soliciting efforts at its St. Joseph and Sioux City stockyards in fiscal 2001. Further, Canal tries to balance its dependence on market agencies and independent commission sales people in various ways, including developing solicitation operations of its own; direct public relations advertising and personal solicitation of producers on behalf of the stockyards; providing additional services at the stockyards to attract sellers and buyers; and providing incentives to market agencies and independent commission sales people for increased business. F-15 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED 6. BORROWINGS At October 31, 2000, substantially all of Canal's real properties, the stock of certain subsidiaries, the investments and a substantial portion of its art inventories are pledged as collateral for the following obligations: October 31, ------------------ ($ 000's Omitted) 2000 1999 ----------------- ------- ------- Variable rate mortgage notes due May 15, 2003 - related party .................... $ 2,522 $ 833 11% mortgage note; original principal amount $1,697; due April 1, 2011; payable in monthly installments (including interest) of $17 ........ 0 1,153 9.5% mortgage note; original principal amount $472; due November 1, 2012; payable in monthly installments (including interest) of $4 ......... 0 381 Other Note ........................................ 0 320 ------- ------- Total ............................................. 2,522 2,687 Less -- current maturities ........................ 0 75 ------- ------- Long-term debt .................................... $ 2,522 $ 2,612 On January 8, 1998, the Company issued $3,700,000 of variable rate mortgage notes due May 15, 2001. The purchasers of these notes included certain entities controlled by the Company's Chairman, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and members of their families. These notes carried interest at the highest of four variable rates, determined on a quarterly basis. These notes, among other things, prohibits Canal from becoming an investment company as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940; requires Canal to maintain minimum net worth; restricts Canal's ability to pay cash dividends or repurchase stock; requires principal prepayments to be made only F-16 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED out of the proceeds from the sale of certain assets, and required the accrual of additional interest (to be paid at maturity) of approximately three percent per annum. On July 29, 1999 the above Notes were amended to extend the maturity date to May 15, 2003; to fix the interest rate at 10% per annum; to agree that the additional interest due to the holders of the notes shall become current and be treated as principal due under the notes; and to have certain of the holders loan the Company $525,000 in additional financing, the proceeds of which was used to repay in full certain of the other holders of the notes. As a result, the notes are now held in total by the Company's Chief Executive Officer and members of his family. On January 10, 2000, the above Notes were further amended to have holders loan the Company $1,725,000 in additional financing, the proceeds of which was used to repay in full all of the Company's outstanding non related party long-term debt. As of October 31, 2000 the balance due under these notes was $2,522,000 all of which is classified as long-term debt-related party. On December 1, 1997 the Company issued a $325,000 promissory note due December 1, 2001 as the result of a settlement agreement with the buyer of a parcel of land located in Portland, Oregon which Canal sold in 1988. The note carries interest at the prime rate (8.5% at October 31, 1998) adjusted semi-annually and requires principal and interest payments in each of the first four years (based on a 30 year amortization schedule) commencing December 1, 1997. This note was repaid in full on January 10, 2000. The scheduled maturities and sinking fund requirements of long-term debt during the next five years are as follows ($ 000's Omitted): Year Ending Amount ------------------- --------- 2001 $ 0 2002 0 2003 2,522 2004 & Thereafter 0 ------- $ 2,522 ======= F-17 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED 7. INCOME TAXES Significant components of the Company's deferred asset/(liability) as of October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 include differences in depreciation methods, deferred rent, inventory valuation allowance and net operating loss carryforward ($ 000's Omitted): 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- Total Gross Deferred Tax assets $ 3,186 $ 2,868 $ 3,153 Less - Valuation Allowance (3,186) (2,868) (3,153) ------- ------- ------- Net Deferred Tax Assets $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 ------- ------- ------- Total Gross Deferred Tax Liability $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 ------- ------- ------- Net Deferred Tax Asset (Liability) $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 ------- ------- ------- Actual income tax (benefit) expense differs from the "expected" tax expense computed by applying the U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 35% to income(loss) before income taxes as follows (& 000's Omitted): 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- Computed Expected Tax (Benefit)Expense $ (323) $ 450 $ (495) Change in Valuation Allowance 318 (285) 242 Inventory Valuation Differences (18) (217) 193 Other 23 52 60 ------ ------ ------ $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 ------ ------ ------ At October 31, 2000, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $9,104,000 that expire through 2014 and a net capital loss carryforward of approximately $2,070,000 that expires October 31, 2005. For financial statement purposes, a valuation allowance has been provided to offset the net deferred tax assets due to the cumulative operating losses and capital losses incurred during recent years. Such allowance increased (decreased) by approximately $318,000, $(285,000) and $242,000 during the years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The valuation allowance will be reduced when and if, in the opinion of management, significant positive evidence exists which indicates that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to realize its deferred tax assets. F-18 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED 8. PENSION PLANS Canal has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its salaried employees (the "Plan"). The benefits are based on years of service and the employee's compensation earned each year. The Company's funding policy is to contribute the amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company will make a contribution of approximately $280,000 for fiscal 2000 and has made contributions of approximately $243,000 for fiscal 1999 and $150,000 for fiscal 1998. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date, but also for those expected to be earned in the future. Assets of the plan were invested in U.S. Government securities, common stocks and antiquities. Assumptions used in computing the 2000, 1999 and 1998 pension cost were: 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- Discount rate .......................... 8.00% 7.75% 7.00% Rate of increase in compensation level ................................ 6.50% 6.25% 5.50% Expected long-term rate of return on assets ............................ 10.00% 10.00% 10.00% Net periodic pension cost for plan years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 included the following components: Plan Year ($ 000's Omitted) 2000 1999 1998 ----------------- ---- ---- ---- Service costs - benefits earned during the period ............................ $ 10 $ 10 $ 9 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation ............................ 109 100 101 (Return) loss on assets ................. 26 13 359 Net amortization and deferral ...........

ART OPERATIONS Canal's art dealing operations consist primarily of inventories held for resale of antiquities primarily from ancient Mediterranean cultures and contemporary art primarily of one artist. Canal carries on its art dealing operations through various consignment agreements relating to its antiquities and contemporary art inventories. Canal established its art operations in October 1988 by acquiring a significant inventory for resale of antiquities primarily from the ancient Mediterranean cultures. In November 1989, Canal expanded its art operations by entering into a cost and revenue sharing agreement with a New York City gallery for the exclusive representation of Jules Olitski, a world renowned F-20 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED artist of contemporary paintings. As part of this agreement Canal purchased a number of Olitski paintings which it holds for resale with a book value of approximately $624,000 at October 31, 2000. The representation agreement expired December 1, 1994 and Canal now operates independently in the marketing of its contemporary art inventory. Due to general economic conditions and the softness of the art markets, Canal has not purchased inventory in several years. However, Canal continues its marketing efforts to sell its existing art inventory through various consignment agreements and at public auctions. Antiquities and contemporary art represented 45% ($542,758) and 55% ($653,899) and 44% ($542,758) and 56% ($692,149) of total art inventory at October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Substantially all of the contemporary art inventory held for resale is comprised of the work of Jules Olitski. Management estimates it may take approximately five years to dispose of its current art inventory. The Company's ability to dispose of its art inventory is dependent at least in part, on general economic conditions, including supply, demand, international monetary conditions and inflation. Additionally, the art market itself is very competitive. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that Canal will be successful in disposing of its art inventory within the time frame discussed above. Canal has its art inventory appraised by independent appraisers annually. The 2000 appraisal covered approximately 57% of the inventory value. The appraised values estimate the current market value of each piece giving consideration to Canal's practices of engaging in consignment, private and public auction sales. The net realizable value of the remaining 43% of the inventory was estimated by management based in part on the Company's history of losses sustained on art sales in the current and previous years and in part on the results of the independent appraisals done. In fiscal 2000 Canal applied against sales $50,750 of the valuation allowance against its art inventory, thereby, decreasing the total valuation allowance to $2,727,950 as of October 31, 2000 as compared to $2,778,700 and $3,400,000 at October 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The nature of art makes it difficult to determine a replacement value. The most compelling evidence of a value in most cases is an independent appraisal. The price at which pieces are consigned is usually in line with appraisals and above the cost of the piece. The amount classified as current represents management's best estimate of the amount of inventory that will be sold in this market. Management believes that the provision discussed above F-21 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED has effectively reduced inventory to its estimated net realizable value. Canal will continue to closely monitor the market for its art inventory and will make adjustments to the carrying value of its inventory as such adjustments become necessary. The Company's plan to sell inventory at auction is contemplated in the normal course of business. Auction in this context is one of the usual channels used for disposal of its art inventory. The proceeds from these sales are used to reduce the Company's outstanding debt and finance current operations. If these sales are not made, the Company has alternate means of raising cash such as sales of investments, sale of real estate, raising of new capital and further rescheduling of debt. Some of these measures were successfully implemented in fiscal 2000. Canal's art operations have generated operating losses of approximately $16,000, $76,000 and $1,184,000 on revenues of approximately $52,000, $186,000 and $221,000 for the years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Art sales have resulted primarily through activities in conjunction with sales of antiquities. Canal's management believes that through its consignment agreements as well as other potential distribution outlets Canal will continue the orderly reduction of its antiquities and contemporary art. The Company had approximately $1,273,000 and $1,358,000 of art inventory (at original cost) on consignment with third party dealers at October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. ART INVENTORY - The Company classified its art inventory for the two years ended October 31, 2000 and 1999 as follows ($ 000's Omitted): Current Portion Non-Current Portion Total ------------------ ------------------- ------------------ 2000 1999 2000 1999 2000 1999 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Antiquities $ 1,000 $ 1,000 $ 428 $ 428 $ 1,428 $ 1,428 Contemporary 1,000 1,000 1,497 1,586 2,497 2,586 Valuation Allowance (1,500) (1,500) (1,228) (1,279) (2,728) (2,779) ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Net Value $ 500 $ 500 $ 697 $ 735 $ 1,197 $ 1,235 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- F-22 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED The amount recorded as the current portion of art inventory represents management's estimate of the inventory expected to be sold during the next twelve months.

Art sales for the three years ended October 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 were as follows: ($ 000's Omitted) 2000 1999 1998 ----------------- ---- ---- ---- Antiquities $ 0 $186 $221 Contemporary 52 0 0 $ 52 $186 $221 10. LEASE COMMITMENTS In February 1999 Canal, together with two other related entities, amended its lease for commercial office space in New York City, which space serves as its headquarters operations. The new lease is for a period of 128 months expiring in October 2009. Canal's portion of the new space is approximately 1,000 square feet and Canal is responsible for 25% of the lease expense. Each of the three entities that are parties to this lease are jointly and severally responsible for the payments required under the lease.

IMPAIRMENT LOSS ON LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS No. 121") as of November 1, 1996. Canal reviews the values of its long-lived assets annually. There was no impairment in the value of Canal's long-lived assets to be recorded as of October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. 12. STOCK OPTION PLAN Under Canal's 1984 Employee and 1985 Directors Stock Option Plans, $550,000 and 264,000 shares, respectively, of Canal's common stock have been reserved for option grants. The purchase price of shares subject to each option granted, under the Employee and Directors Plans, will not be less than 85% and 100%, respectively, of their fair market value at the date of grant. At October 31, 2000 the purchase price of shares subject to each option granted equaled 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Options granted under both plans are exercisable for 10 years from the date of grant, but no option will be exercisable earlier than one year from the date of grant. Under the Employee Plan, stock appreciation rights may be granted in connection with stock options, either at the time of grant of the options or at any time thereafter. No stock appreciation rights have been granted under this plan. At October 31, 2000, there were 308,500 exercisable options outstanding under these plans. Transactions under these plans are summarized as follows: Shares Option Price Range -------- ------------------ Balance outstanding October 31, 1998.... 323,000 $0.125-$5.375 Options granted ........................ 0 -- -- Options expired ........................

Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. In October, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, which becomes effective for transactions entered into in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This statement permits an entity to apply the fair value based method to stock options awarded during 1995 and thereafter in order to measure the compensation cost at the grant date and recognize it over its vesting period. This statement also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation costs for these plans pursuant to APB Opinion 25. Entities electing to remain with the accounting treatment under APB Opinion 25 must make proforma disclosures of net income and earnings per share to include the effects of all awards granted in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1994, as if the fair value based method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 123 has been applied. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements for this statement effective for the year ending October 31, 1996, while continuing to measure compensation cost using APB 25. Had compensation cost been determined on the basis of SFAS No. 123, the proforma effect on the Company's net income and earnings per share for the years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 would have been deminimus. 13. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE AND DIVIDENDS PAID During each of the fiscal years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Company had 308,500, 319,000 and 323,000 options outstanding. The options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the effect of exercisable price conversion would be antidilutive. There were no dividends declared on common stock during the years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. Dividends declared on preferred stock during the years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were approximately $266,000, $235,000 and $200,000. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common share outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect per share amounts that would have resulted if dilutive potential common stock had been reported in the financial statements. F-25 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED Basic and diluted earnings (losses) available to common stockholders at October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were: For the Year Ended October 31, 2000 -------------------------------------- Income Shares Per-share (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount ----------- ----------- --------- Net (loss) $ (922,000) Less preferred stock dividends (266,000) ----------- (Loss) available to common stock- holders-basic earnings per share (1,188,000) 4,327,000 $ (0.27) ======== Effect of dilutive securities: Options (antidilutive) N/A N/A ----------- --------- (Loss) available to common stock- holders-diluted earnings per share $(1,188,000) 4,327,000 $ (0.27) =========== ========= ======== For the Year Ended October 31, 1999 --------------------------------------- Income Shares Per-share (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount ----------- ----------- --------- Net income 1,285,000 Less preferred stock dividends (235,000) ----------- Income available to common stock- holders-basic earnings per share 1,050,000 4,327,000 $ 0.24 ======== Effect of dilutive securities: Options (antidilutive) N/A N/A ----------- --------- Income available to common stock- holders-diluted earnings per share $ 1,050,000 4,327,000 $ 0.24 =========== ========= ======== F-26 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED For the Year Ended October 31, 1998 --------------------------------------- Income Shares Per-share (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount ----------- ----------- --------- Net (loss) $(1,413,000) Less preferred stock dividends (200,000) ----------- (Loss) available to common stock- holders-basic earnings per share (1,613,000) 4,327,000 $ (0.37) ======== Effect of dilutive securities: Options (antidilutive) N/A N/A ----------- --------- (Loss) available to common stock- holders-diluted earnings per share $(1,613,000) 4,327,000 $ (0.37) =========== ========= ======== 14. PREFERRED STOCK ISSUANCE On October 15, 1986 Canal exchanged 986,865 shares of its $1.30 Exchangeable Preferred Stock ("the Preferred Stock") for a like amount of its outstanding common stock. Since the exchange, the Company has issued an additional 3,420,749 shares in the form of stock dividends for a total outstanding at October 31, 2000 of 4,407,614. All of the Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.01 per share and a liquidation preference of $10 per share. The Preferred Stock is subject to optional redemption, in exchange for Canal's 13% Subordinated Notes, by Canal, in whole or in part at any time on or after September 30, 1988 at the redemption price of $10 per share. Dividends on the Preferred Stock accrue at an annual rate of $1.30 per share and are cumulative. Dividends are payable quarterly in cash or in Preferred Stock at Canal's option. Payment commenced December 31, 1986. To date, forty-four of the fifty-six quarterly payments have been paid in additional stock resulting in the issuance of 3,420,749 shares recorded at their fair value at the time of issuance. Canal is restricted from paying cash dividends by certain of its debt agreements (See Note 6). The last cash dividend paid on Canal's preferred stock was in September 1989. The quarterly dividends payable September 30, F-27 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED 2000 and December 31, 2000 were passed by the Board of Directors. It is the Company's intention to pay its next dividend on the preferred stock on June 30, 2001 at which time a one year dividend will have accumulated. The dividend planned for June 30, 2001 will also be paid in additional stock. VOTING RIGHTS - The holders of the Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights except that the following actions must be approved by holders of 66 2/3% of the shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a class: (I) any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of Canal which would materially alter the relative rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock so as to adversely affect the holders thereof; and (ii) issuance of securities of any class of Canal's capital stock ranking prior (as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Preferred Stock. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to specific enforcement of the foregoing covenants and to injunctive relief against any violation thereof. Whenever quarterly dividends payable on the Preferred Stock are in arrears in the aggregate amount at least equal to six full quarterly dividends (which need not be consecutive), the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of Canal shall be increased by two and the holders of the Preferred Stock shall have, in addition to the rights set forth above, the special right, voting separately as a single class, to elect two directors of Canal to fill such newly created directorships at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders (and at each succeeding annual meeting of shareholders thereafter until such cumulative dividends have been paid in full). 15. PENSION VALUATION RESERVE The Pension Valuation Reserve represents the excess of additional minimum pension liability required under the provisions of SFAS No. 87 over the unrecognized prior service costs of former stockyard employees. Such excess arose due to the decline in the market value of pension assets available for pension benefits of former employees, which benefits were frozen at the time the stockyard operations were sold in 1989. The additional minimum pension liability will be expensed as actuarial computations of annual pension cost (made in accordance with SFAS No. 87) recognize the deficiency that exists.

F-29 CANAL CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED 17. LITIGATION Canal and its subsidiaries are from time to time involved in litigation incidental to their normal business activities, none of which, in the opinion of management, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company. Canal or its subsidiaries are party to the following litigations: Canal Capital Corporation v. Valley Pride Pack, Inc. Canal commenced an action in U.S. District Court in Minnesota on September 23, 1997, as the assignee of United Market Services Company, against Valley Pride Pack, Inc. (formerly Pine Valley Meats, Inc. and referred to herein as "Pine Valley") to recover unpaid livestock fees and charges (estimated to be as much as $1,000,000) due from Pine Valley under a 1936 Agreement between the predecessors of Pine Valley and Canal. Upon Pine Valley's motion, the Court entered an order dated February 23, 1998 granting summary judgment and dismissing Canal's complaint. Canal appealed the dismissal to the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, which reversed the dismissal and reinstated Canal's complaint. On April 9, 1999, Pine Valley served an answer and counterclaim in which it denied any liability for livestock fees and alleged that the 1936 Agreement violates Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Minnesota Antitrust Law. Pine Valley alleges any livestock fee obligation under the 1936 Agreement constitutes an illegal tying arrangement whereby Canal's predecessor attempted to tie the purchase of land for the operation of the meat packing plant to the purchase of cattle at the stockyards by assessing yardage fees on all cattle purchased for slaughter at the packing plant even if the stockyards provides no services with respect to the cattle. Pine Valley seeks as relief a declaratory judgment that the 1936 Agreement is unenforceable, an injunction preventing Canal from enforcing the fee provisions of the 1936 Agreement and treble damages for the alleged violation by Canal and its predecessor of the federal and state antitrust laws, together with attorneys' fees. Pine Valley has not specified a dollar amount of the alleged antitrust damages which it has stated is the amount paid by Pine Valley in livestock fees. On December 20, 2000, the U.S. District Court in Minnesota ruled in Canal's favor granting its motion for summary judgment, thereby establishing Pine Valley's liability to Canal for unpaid livestock fees. Additionally, the court denied all of Pine Valley's assorted defenses and counter claims. This matter will now be set for trial to determine the amount of damages due Canal from Pine Valley.
