Item 1. BUSINESS
URT Industries, Inc. ("URT" or the "Company"), a Florida corporation, began business in 1967. Since 1981, it has been engaged in the operation of retail stores which sell prerecorded music, videos, and related products (the "Retail Business") in the Southeastern part of the United States under the name "PEACHES". Such business is operated by its subsidiary, Peaches Entertainment Corporation ("PEC"), a Florida corporation. URT and certain of its directors and officers own approximately 94% of PEC's issued and outstanding shares of common stock and all of its issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock. The remaining 6% of PEC's common stock is owned by non-affiliated persons.
The Peaches Stores
The following table sets forth the number of "Peaches" retail stores (the "'Peaches' stores") which were open at the beginning of the year, which opened during the year, which closed during the year and which were open at the end of the year, with respect to URT's last five complete fiscal years ending with the fiscal year ended April 1, 2000 (the "2000 fiscal year"):
2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Number of stores: At beginning of period 12 12 13 13 19 Opened during period 0 1 0 0 0 Closed during period 0 (1) (1) 0 (6) -- -- -- -- --
At end of period 12 12 12 13 13
Subsequent to the close of the 2000 fiscal year, PEC closed one of its stores for which the lease expired. The eleven "Peaches" stores which are in operation are located in the following four states: Florida (five stores), Virginia (three stores), North Carolina (two stores), and Alabama (one store). The utilized space of the stores ranges from approximately 6,000 square feet to approximately 14,000 square feet. Each store either has its own parking area or is located in a shopping center which provides parking. PEC has options to renew most of its leases for various periods. Two of the Florida stores, one in Fort Lauderdale and the other in Orlando, are currently leased from the Chairman of URT and his brother, a former director of URT. (See "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS").
For information concerning real property owned by PEC, see "Properties".
E-Commerce
In July 2000, PEC launched its e-commerce site, www.peachesmusic.com. The site offers over 250,000 different items, including compact discs, cassettes, DVD's as well as digital
downloading. As of the date of this filing, the web site has not had a material impact on PEC's financial condition or results of operations.
Trademarks
PEC is the registered owner of and owns nationwide rights to the trade name, service mark and trademark "PEACHES" (the "Trademarks") in connection with the operation of the Retail Business.
Operation of the Peaches Stores
The "Peaches" stores are all similar in appearance. They have distinct, wood paneled interiors, are decorated in a manner which identifies them as "Peaches" stores and carry a wide selection of prerecorded music as well as recorded and blank video tapes, accessory items and specialty items such as T-shirts and crates. Some stores are free standing and others are contiguous to other stores in shopping centers. At present, each "Peaches" store is managed by an individual director who is responsible for re-orders of merchandise and displaying merchandise sold in the store, hiring and firing personnel and other matters relating to store administration. Certain other matters, including pricing, relationships with landlords and the purchase and allocation of new releases, are handled by the home office. PEC has a computerized inventory control system in place at each of its stores.
The vast majority of PEC's products are purchased directly from the five major music distributors. Such distributors are: BMG (Bertelsman Music Group), EMD (EMI Music Distribution), Sony Music, Universal Distribution and WEA (Warner/Elektra/Atlantic). PEC does not have material long-term purchase agreements with any of such distributors. Such arrangement is typical in the industry.
Purchases from given suppliers are, to a great extent, determined by which of them are manufacturing or distributing the most popular prerecorded music products at any given time, as well as the credit and other terms on which such suppliers are willing to sell to PEC. PEC is not obligated to purchase merchandise from any supplier. It has numerous alternate sources of supply for inventory. However, a loss of one of its principal suppliers may have a materially adverse effect on PEC's financial condition and results of operations.
Merchandise is delivered directly by suppliers to the stores. The usual terms received by PEC from suppliers provide for payment to be made within 60 days from the end of the month in which a net purchase was made. In addition, PEC normally receives an additional 30 to 120 days to pay for certain purchases during the course of the year. Such terms are usual in the industry.
Under current industry practice, PEC is able to return merchandise, subject to certain limitations, to all of its major suppliers, who charge a penalty if returns exceed certain percentages of the dollar amounts of gross purchases. Such return policies do not have a materially adverse effect on PEC's business.
Advertising in local newspapers and media is determined by consultation between each store director and PEC management. PEC also engages in cooperative advertising with suppliers who pay a portion of the cost. In addition to the director, each "Peaches" store is staffed with managers, cashiers and sales and stock room personnel. The stores are open seven days a week.
Quarterly results are affected by the timing of holidays, the timing and strength of new releases, new store openings/closings and sales performance of existing stores. During the 2000 fiscal year, sales between April and June were approximately 24% of total sales; sales between July and September were approximately 22% of total sales; sales between October and December were approximately 30% of total sales; and sales between January and March were approximately 24% of total sales.
Competition
The retail sale of prerecorded music and video products is highly competitive. There are hundreds of retail, department, discount and variety stores and supermarkets which offer such merchandise to the public. PEC's share of the retail market in the Southeastern United States is not significant. In recent years, in addition to usual competition, there has been a proliferation of non-traditional music outlets, such as appliance retailers and super book stores, some of whom have used very aggressive price cutting tactics, including selling some products below actual cost in order to attract customers and sell non-music and video products. In addition, the expansion of e-commerce has also resulted in competition from outside the normal geographic spheres of competition.
Employees
As of the last day of the 2000 fiscal year, URT and PEC (hereinafter, collectively, the "URT Companies") had approximately 220 employees. Neither URT nor PEC is a party to any collective bargaining agreements. Relations with employees have been good and there have been no work stoppages.
Management Agreements
During the 2000 fiscal year, as in the prior fiscal year, there were three agreements in place pertaining to the management of PEC. Two of such agreements were between URT and PEC and the third was between URT and Allan Wolk, URT's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to such agreements (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Management Agreements") the following arrangements were in effect: URT was required to provide to PEC during such period the services of Mr. Wolk as PEC's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer; PEC was required to pay to Mr. Wolk during such period, so long as he continued to provide such services, a salary in the amount described below; the amount so paid by PEC to Mr. Wolk pursuant to such arrangements was credited against the amount payable by URT to Mr. Wolk pursuant to the employment agreement between them (see "EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION" below); and URT and PEC were required to continue to equitably apportion taxes so long as they continue to file a consolidated federal return. The salary payable by PEC to
Mr. Wolk pursuant to the Management Agreements, as revised by agreement between URT and PEC, was $250,000 during the 1999 fiscal year and $248,000 during the 2000 fiscal year.
The Management Agreements expired on March 31, 2000, but have been extended by URT and PEC on a month-to-month basis during the current fiscal year pending the negotiation and preparation of proposed replacement agreements. Such extension has been on the same terms as the Management Agreements, except that the compensation payable by PEC to Mr. Wolk has been further reduced to a rate of $240,000 per annum during the period of such negotiations pursuant to an oral understanding between the two companies
During both the 2000 and 1999 fiscal years, Mr. Wolk devoted approximately 75% of his contractual working time to the business of PEC.
Item 2.
Item 2. PROPERTIES
The headquarters for URT and PEC (the "URT Companies") are located in Hallandale, Florida in a building which is leased by PEC. Such building contains a total of approximately 6,000 square feet of office space.
PEC owns real property in Mobile, Alabama on which it constructed and operates a "Peaches" store. Such property is subject to a first mortgage on the part of an institutional lender and is also subject to mortgages on the part of URT and Allan Wolk (see "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS").
All "Peaches" stores, other than the Mobile, Alabama store discussed immediately above, are leased. For information concerning such other stores operated by PEC, see "BUSINESS--The Peaches Stores".
As part of its on-going long- term strategic planning, PEC may sell its leasehold interest(s) in one or more of its stores.
Item 3.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In February, 2000, PEC amicably resolved a lawsuit with one of its landlords which had been commenced by PEC in the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit of Orange County, Florida, about representations made by the landlord to PEC concerning the shopping center in which one of PEC's Orlando stores is located.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
From time to time, URT's management may make certain statements that contain "forward-looking" information (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Words such as "believe", "anticipate", "estimate", "project" and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be made by management orally or in writing, including, but not limited to, in press releases, as part of this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and as part of other sections of this Annual Report or other filings. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their respective dates, and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These risks include, but are not limited to: changes in the competitive environment for the Company's products, including the entry or exit of non-traditional retailers of the Company's products to or from its markets; the release by the music industry of an increased or decreased number of "hit releases"; general economic factors in markets where the Company's products are sold; and other factors discussed in this filing and the Company's other filings. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results of current and future operations may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected.
The results of operations discussed herein are those of the URT Companies on a consolidated basis. As a result, references in this Section to the "Company" include both URT and PEC.
Results of Operations
FISCAL YEAR ENDED APRIL 1, 2000 ("2000") COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED APRIL 3, 1999 ("1999")
Net Sales. The Company's net sales decreased during fiscal 2000 by $2.1 million or 12%. Factors that contributed to the decrease are a 6.4% decline in comparable store sales, the fact that the Company operated one more store during most of fiscal 1999, as well as the fact that fiscal 1999 was a 53 week year compared to fiscal 2000 which was a 52 week year.
Cost of Sales. The Company's cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased from 59.3% in fiscal 1999 to 58.1% in fiscal 2000. The decrease is primarily due to increases in certain retail selling prices.
Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A), including depreciation, increased as a percentage of net sales from 44.6% in fiscal 1999 to 46.8% in fiscal 2000. The increase is primarily due to the decrease in sales.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED APRIL 3, 1999 ("1999") COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 28, 1998 ("1998")
Net Sales. The Company's net sales for 1999 increased $403,000 or 2.4 percent compared to 1998. The increase is primarily due to the fact that the Company operated one more store for a portion of 1999 offset by a comparable store decrease of 1.6 percent.
Cost of Sales. The Company's cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 61.5 percent in 1998 to 59.3 percent in 1999. Such decrease is primarily attributable to an increase in certain retail prices and increases in purchase discounts.
Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses, including depreciation, expressed as a percentage of net sales increased to 44.6% in 1999 compared to 43.8% in 1998. The increase is primarily attributable to expenses incurred throughout the Company's first quarter of 1999 relating to the new store that did not actually open until after the first quarter began.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 28, 1998 ("1998") COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 29, 1997 ("1997")
Net Sales. Net sales for 1998 decreased by 5.7% compared to 1997. Such decrease is attributed to a 3.2% decrease in comparable store sales, and a 2.5% decrease in sales due to one store that closed in 1998.
Cost of Sales. The cost of sales for 1998 was lower than that for 1997 due principally to a decrease in net sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased from 63.2% in 1997 to 61.4% in 1998 due principally to the fact that during the first quarter of 1998 the Company began to receive discounts associated with normal trade terms as a result of the confirmation of PEC's Amended Plan of Reorganization ("Plan of Reorganization") on January 17, 1997, following its voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the "Chapter 11 proceeding"). Such decrease is also attributed to increases in other purchase discounts and an increase in certain retail selling prices.
Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses, including depreciation and amortization ("SG&A") in 1998 decreased by 9.0% compared to 1997. Such decrease is attributed to a decrease in corporate overhead (6.9%) and a decrease due to the closing of one of the Company's stores (2.3%), offset by an increase in comparable store expenses (0.2%). SG&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 45.3% in 1997 to 43.7% in 1998 due to such overhead reductions.
During 1998, Company's primary suppliers initiated steps to help protect the retail marketplace from certain low cost retailers of music. These steps included not disbursing cooperative advertising funds to retailers which engage in low cost selling practices in violation of the minimum advertised pricing policies of such suppliers. Management believes that such initiatives, in combination with the other factors mentioned immediately below, helped the Company to restore itself to a more competitive position. Another factor which had a positive effect on the Company's performance is the increase in gross profit percentage. Also, PEC's Plan of Reorganization was confirmed during the last quarter of 1997. The benefits of the reorganization included the termination of the leases associated with the six unprofitable stores
which were closed during 1996, the closing of the Company's former headquarters and warehouse, and the termination of other unprofitable business arrangements. Other competitive advantages over certain competitors include a large selection of inventory, convenient store locations, a high level of customer service and the widely recognized "Peaches" name.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash generated from operations and cash equivalents are the Company's primary source of liquidity. Management anticipates that the cash generated from operations, cash equivalents on hand and financing will provide sufficient liquidity to maintain adequate working capital for operations.
At April 1, 2000, the Company had long-term obligations of $415,525. Management anticipates that its ability to repay its long-term obligations will be satisfied primarily through funds generated from its operations or from possible financing.
Although the Company cannot accurately determine the precise effect of inflation on its operations, management does not believe inflation has had a material effect on the results of operations in the last three fiscal years. When the cost of merchandise items has increased, the Company has been able to pass the increase on to its customers.
The Company's business is seasonal in nature, with the highest sales and earnings historically occurring in the third fiscal quarter, which includes the Christmas selling season.
For a discussion of the Company's possible liability for severance payments to its Chairman, see "EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION."
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". SAB 101 provides guidance for revenue recognition under certain circumstances. It is effective during fiscal year 2001. Management is reviewing the effect, if any, of SAB 101 on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". FAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities . It requires the Company to measure all derivatives at fair value and to recognize them on the balance sheet as an asset or liability, depending on the Company's rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. In July 1999, the FASB issued FAS No. 137 which deferred the effective date of adoption of FAS 133 for one more year. The Company does not currently own any derivative instruments and does not anticipate that FAS 133 will have any effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". SOP 98-1 requires all costs related to the development of internally used software, other than those incurred during the application development stage to be expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during the application development stage, are required to be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. SOP 98-1 was adopted by the Company during fiscal 2000 and did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Item 7A.
Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company owns no derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. The Company's exposure to changes in interest rates is limited to cash, cash equivalents, investments and long term debt. Changes in interest rates by 10% would not have a material impact on the company's financial condition or results of operations.

APRIL 1, 2000, APRIL 3, 1999 AND MARCH 28, 1998
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business
URT Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) is engaged in the business of retailing prerecorded music, video and accessory items, principally in the Southeastern United States. The Company operates in a single-industry segment, the operation of a chain of retail entertainment stores. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of URT Industries, Inc. (the Parent or URT) and its wholly-owned non-operating subsidiary, whose business was discontinued in 1984, and its 87.5 percent-owned subsidiary, Peaches Entertainment Corporation (Peaches).
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of URT Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Reference to the Company encompasses any or all of the aforementioned entities.
Fiscal Year
The Company's fiscal year consists of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to the end of March. The fiscal year ended April 1, 2000 consists of 52 weeks. The fiscal year ended April 3, 1999 consisted of 53 weeks. The fiscal year ended March 28, 1998 consisted of 52 weeks.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at April 1, 2000. Cash equivalents totaled $345,528 at April 3, 1999. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair market value because of the short-term maturity of these investments. The fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices for these or similar instruments.
Marketable Investment Securities
The Company follows the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Securities consisting of Treasury bills and equity investments are considered available-for-sale at April 3, 1999 with cost approximating fair market value. Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses included in shareholders' equity. Realized gains and losses are included in interest and other income. There were no investments in marketable securities at April 1, 2000.
Inventories
Inventories, which are comprised of compact discs, cassettes, digital video disks, videos and accessories, are stated at the lower of cost (principally average) including freight-in, or market.
URT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 31.5 years using both straight-line and accelerated methods. The Company's policy is to retire assets from its accounts as they become fully depreciated.
Advertising
Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company files a consolidated income tax return with its subsidiaries. Provision is made for deferred income taxes, which result from certain items of income and expense being reported for tax purposes in periods different than those reported for financial reporting purposes. These items relate principally to the methods of accounting for store leases with future scheduled rent payment increases, inventory and the utilization of different methods of depreciation for financial statement and income tax purposes.
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, which generally requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws for the taxable years in which those differences are expected to reverse. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of a deferred tax asset.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated by discounting the future cash flows for each instrument at rates currently offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities, which approximates the carrying value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lives Assets to be Disposed of. This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In fiscal year 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income consists of net income and net unrealized gains (losses) on securities and is presented in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. The Statement requires only additional disclosures in the consolidated financial statements; it does not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin, or SAB No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". SAB 101 provides guidance for revenue recognition under certain circumstances. The staff accounting bulletin is effective during fiscal year 2001. SAB 101 is not expected to have an effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". FAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It requires us to measure all derivatives at fair value and to recognize them on the balance sheet as an asset or liability, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. In July 1999, the FASB issued FAS No. 137 that deferred the effective date of adoption of FAS 133 for one more year. The Company currently has no derivative instruments or hedging activities.
In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". SOP 98-1 requires all costs related to the development of internally used software other than those incurred during the application development stage to be expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during the application development stage are required to be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. SOP 98-1 was adopted by the Company during the fiscal year 2000 and did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 1999 and 1998 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation.
NOTE 2. LIQUIDITY
As of April 1, 2000, the Company reflected shareholders' equity of approximately $1.1 million. Since 1993, the Company has incurred operating losses and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $3.6 million at April 1, 2000. Factors which have had a positive effect on the Company's performance include the increase in gross profit percentage and reduction of certain expenses. The Company's ability to achieve sustained profitable operations is dependent on continuing to obtain products at competitive prices, restructuring operations to minimize cash expenditures, and successfully competing with larger retailers who have greater capital resources than the Company. Management believes that cash flow from operations or additional financing available from other sources will be sufficient to fund operations during the next fiscal year. There is no assurance that such events will occur or such financing will be available.
NOTE 3. BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS
Competition
The retail sale of prerecorded music and video products is highly competitive. The Company's share of the retail market in the Southeastern United States is not significant. The number of stores and types of competitors faced by the Company's stores increased significantly, including non-mall discount stores, consumer electronics superstores and other mall-based music, video and book specialty retailers expanding into non-mall multimedia superstores of their own. The Company's stores operate in a retail environment in which many factors that are difficult to predict and outside the Company's control can have a significant impact on store and Company sales and profits. These factors include the timing and strength of new product offerings and technology, pricing strategies of competitors' stores, the Company's ability to continue to receive adequate product from its vendors on acceptable credit terms, effects of weather and overall economic conditions, including inflation, consumer confidence, spending habits and disposable income.
Significant Vendors
The Company purchased approximately 72 percent of its merchandise from five principal suppliers during each of the fiscal years ended April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999, respectively. Purchases from given suppliers are, to a greater extent, determined by which of them is manufacturing or distributing the most popular prerecorded music products at a given time, as well as the credit and other terms on which such suppliers are willing to sell to the Company. The Company is not obligated to purchase merchandise from any supplier. However, if the Company were to lose one of its principal suppliers, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial position.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company maintains deposits at financial institutions that, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. At April 1, 2000, the Company had deposits in excess of federally insured limits of approximately $407,000. The Company maintains its cash with high quality financial institutions, which the Company believes limits these risks.
NOTE 4. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per common share.
Basic and diluted net loss per common share has been computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The two-class methods of computing earnings per share was not utilized as both classes of the Company's common stock are identical, except that each class votes separately so that all matters requiring the vote of stockholders require the approval of both classes of common stock voting as separate classes. Accordingly, net loss per common share is identical for each class of stock.
Basic and diluted net loss per common share were calculated as follows:
NOTE 5. DUE FROM OFFICERS/SHAREHOLDERS
The promissory note agreements with the two officers/shareholders are payable with interest at 8% in 96 monthly installments through March 21, 2000.
Under amended and restated employment agreements with these officers/shareholders (Note 9), the required loan payments are credited as compensation for the officer/shareholder. Effective March 1996, a former officer/shareholder was required to repay the loan in monthly installments of $471.

Leases
The Company is a lessee under various operating leases, several of which provide for percentage rent. An insignificant amount of percentage rent was incurred during the years ended April 3, 1999 and March 28, 1998, respectively. There was no percentage rent incurred during the year ended April 1, 2000. Most of the leases contain renewal options.
The aggregate minimum rental commitments at April 1, 2000 under all non-cancelable operating leases, which have various expiration dates through 2017, are approximately as follows:
Fiscal year: 2001 $1,097,000 2002 772,000 2003 697,000 2004 537,000 2005 360,000 Thereafter 2,697,000 ---------- $6,160,000 ==========

Rental expense under non-cancelable operating leases, included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, amounted to approximately $1,350,000, $1,417,000, and $1,175,000, respectively, for each of the years in the three-year period ended April 1, 2000.
Rental expense on a store owned by two directors and/or their relatives was approximately $174,000, $164,000, and $131,000, respectively, for each of the years in the three-year period ended April 1, 2000.
Legal Matters
The Company is a party to various claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, all such matters are without merit or involve such amounts that an unfavorable disposition would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Employment Agreements
As amended January 1, 1996, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with an officer, through March 31, 2000, with an aggregate annual average base compensation of approximately $780,000, including amounts payable by Peaches to such officer under the revised Management Agreement. In October 1997, the annual base compensation was reduced by $150,000. In addition, the officer shall be credited, as compensation, with the monthly amounts payable by him to the Company under promissory note (Note 5).
The respective employment agreement provides the officer with the use of an automobile, full medical coverage, reimbursement for life insurance policies, paid vacations and severance pay if the Company refuses to renew the employment agreement upon expiration, or in the event of termination upon mutual consent or termination in certain other events.
Management Agreement
During the 2000 fiscal year, as in the prior fiscal year, there were three management and intercorporate agreements in place between URT and Peaches. Two of such agreements were between the Company and Peaches and the third was between the Company and the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to such agreements (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Management Agreements"), the following arrangements were in effect: URT was required to provide to Peaches during such period the services of their Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer; Peaches was required to pay the executive's compensation during such period, so long as he continued to provide such services, a salary in the amount described below; the amount so paid by Peaches pursuant to such arrangements was credited against the amount payable by URT pursuant to the employment agreement in effect and URT and Peaches were required to continue to equitably

apportion taxes so long as they continue to file a consolidated federal return. The salary payable by Peaches pursuant to the Management Agreements, as revised by further agreement, was $250,000 during the 1999 fiscal year and $248,000 during the 2000 fiscal year.
The Management Agreements expired on March 31, 2000, but have been extended on a month-to-month basis during the current fiscal year pending the negotiation and preparation of proposed replacement agreements. Such extension has been on the same terms as the Management Agreements, except that the compensation payable by Peaches has been reduced to a rate of $240,000 per annum during the period of such negotiations.
NOTE 10. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Authorized shares of common stock as of April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999 were 20,000,000 Class A and 10,000,000 Class B shares, both classes having a par value of $.01. The two classes of the Company's common stock are identical except that each class votes separately so that all matters requiring the vote of stockholders require the approval of both classes of common stock voting as separate classes.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets at April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999 are presented below:
At April 1, 2000, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes of approximately $6,900,000 which is available to offset future federal taxable income, if any, through 2014.
A valuation allowance is provided to reduce deferred tax assets to a level which, more likely than not, will be realized. The net deferred assets reflect management's estimate of the amount which will be realized from future profitability which can be predicted with reasonable certainty. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999, was $3,194,000 and $2,968,000, respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999 was an increase of approximately $226,000 and $225,000, respectively.
Item 9.
Item 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
In March, 2000, URT selected Rachlin Cohen & Holtz LLP ("RCH") to replace KPMG LLP ("KPMG") as its independent public accountants. The decision to change auditors was approved by resolution of the full board of directors.
There were no disagreements with KPMG, during either of the two most recent fiscal years, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its audit report with respect to financial statements of URT and there was no disagreement or difference of opinion with KPMG regarding any "reportable event," as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. KPMG's report on the financial statements of URT for each of the past two fiscal years did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
Neither URT nor anyone on behalf of URT consulted RCH, during either of the two most recent fiscal years, regarding either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the financial statements of URT or any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or any reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Allan Wolk Chairman of the Board, President (Chief Executive Officer), Director 62
Brian Wolk Executive Vice-President, Chief Legal 35 Officer, General Manager-Store Operations and Merchandising, Director
Jason Wolk Executive Vice-President, Chief 33 Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), General Manager- Internet Operations, Treasurer, Director
Allan Wolk has been the Chief Executive Officer and a director of URT and PEC since their formation. He has been engaged in the prerecorded music business for more than 40 years, principally in the rack merchandising and retail segments thereof.
Brian Wolk, an attorney, has been employed by the URT Companies in various capacities and at various times since 1982 and has been employed by them, full time, since 1992. He is a son of Allan Wolk. He has been a director of URT and PEC since 1994 and a vice-president of both companies since June, 1995. He was appointed Executive Vice-President and Chief Legal Officer of both companies in March, 1996.
Jason Wolk, a certified public accountant, has been employed by the URT Companies in various capacities and at various times since 1983 and has been employed by them, full time, since 1994. He is a son of Allan Wolk. Prior to his full time employment by the URT Companies, he had been employed by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, an international accounting and consulting firm. He has been a director of URT and PEC since 1994 and a vice-president and the secretary of both companies since June, 1995.

Item 11.
Item 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The following table sets forth compensation paid or accrued by the URT Companies for services rendered in all capacities during the 2000 fiscal year and the two prior fiscal years to (i) URT's chief executive officer ("CEO") and (ii) each of the other most highly compensated executive officers of the URT Companies whose cash compensation exceeded $100,000 and who served as executive officers during the 2000 fiscal year:
Summary Compensation Table
- -------------
(1) Such amounts include life insurance premiums ($50,970 for the 2000 fiscal year) and amounts credited to Mr. Wolk under his employment agreement against amounts owed to URT.
Employment Contracts
Until March 31, 2000, Mr. Wolk was employed under an employment agreement dated October 1, 1994 (the "1994 Agreement"). The 1994 Agreement reduced the annual rate of his base salary to $725,380 for the period from October 1, 1994 through March 31, 1995, to $575,380 for the next eighteen month period ending September 30, 1996, and to $784,048 for the balance of the term of employment (as compared to an annual base salary at the rate of $834,048 under the March 31, 1992 employment agreement (the "1992 Agreement") which the 1994 Agreement replaced). A 1997 amendment to the 1994 Agreement further reduced Mr. Wolk's annual compensation by an additional $150,000 per year, to $634,048 per year, effective as of October 1, 1997 and continuing through the balance of the term of employment. Mr. Wolk further agreed to forego an additional $94,450 in compensation during the 2000 fiscal year, and agreed to forgo an additional $37,203 in compensation during the 1999 fiscal year and $37,679 in compensation during the 1998 fiscal year, thereby reducing his salary compensation during such periods by such amounts.
Pursuant to the arrangements described above under "BUSINESS-MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS", PEC paid a salary to Mr. Wolk in the amount described in such section, and such amount was credited against the compensation so payable by URT to Mr. Wolk pursuant to the 1994 Agreement, as so amended (hereinafter referred to, with the above-described amendments, as the "1994 Agreement").
The 1994 Agreement eliminated provisions contained in the 1992 Agreement under which Mr. Wolk was entitled to cost of living increases based on increases in the consumer price index and changes in U. S. individual income tax rates. It reduced certain monthly credits to which he was entitled under the 1992 Agreement effective October 1, 1994 from $5,435 per month to $2,935 per month but retained the provision that if he died or became disabled during the term of such agreement, the credits which he would have received through March 31, 2000 (but in the reduced amount under the 1994 Agreement) if he had survived and not become disabled would be accelerated to the date of death or disability. The 1994 Agreement also provided that URT would pay or reimburse him for the premiums on term or other life insurance coverage to be selected by URT and payable to his designee in the amount of $2,600,000 for the duration of his life (rather than being reduced to $1,500,000 after age 70 as provided in the 1992 Agreement). Mr. Wolk was also permitted under the 1994 Agreement (as he had been under the 1992 Agreement) to repay certain loans which are hereinafter described in "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions"), over the term of his employment.
The 1994 Agreement also continued to provide (as had the 1992 Agreement) that during his employment period URT would furnish Mr. Wolk with an automobile, reimburse him for business expenses, including socially related business expenses incurred by him, and provide him with hospital and medical benefits; that upon termination of his employment, he would not compete with the URT Companies for a period of three years and for the additional period during which he accepted severance payments; that upon the termination of his period of employment on March 31, 2000 and URT's refusal to continue to employ him on terms no less favorable than those contained in his employment agreement or in the event of the earlier termination of his employment for any reason other than death, URT would be required to pay him as severance payments, an amount equal to his annual base salary which was in effect at the time of termination and thereafter, upon each anniversary of the termination date until his death, 50% of such annual base salary (except for the elimination of provisions which had been in the 1992 Agreement under which he could have been entitled to additional amounts if adjustments were made due to increases in the consumer price index, changes in the income tax laws or certain other contingencies), as reduced by any payments he received under any pension or profit sharing plan of the URT Companies and if applicable, any disability insurance policy; that so long as he was entitled to receive severance payments, URT was required to continue to furnish him with an automobile, pay the premiums on the above described life insurance coverage and provide medical insurance coverage for him and his family which would continue during his lifetime and that of his wife, if she survived him; that as a condition of receiving such severance payments and benefits, he was required to be available to the URT Companies as a consultant; that if any persons, excluding officers and directors of URT, should acquire effective control of URT while he was in its employ, he would be entitled to receive, in addition to all other payments required
to be made to him under his employment agreement, an amount equal to the maximum amount permitted to be paid by URT without such payment being considered a "parachute payment" under the Internal Revenue Code; that such provision was designed to deter corporate raiders and would require that a substantial payment be made to him in the event that any such persons acquired effective control of URT. The amount to which Mr. Wolk would be entitled under the circumstances described above would depend on his compensation during the five tax years immediately preceding any such change in control. If, for illustrative purposes, a change in control had occurred between the end of the 2000 fiscal year and the date of this filing, the payment to Mr. Wolk would have been approximately $2 million.
The 1994 Agreement also permitted Mr. Wolk to obtain a loan from URT on a single occasion not to exceed $400,000 for a period of up to five years at an interest rate of 3% per annum, which is required to be collateralized by adequate security and made upon such other terms and conditions as URT's directors with the advice of counsel deem necessary to protect URT.
Following the expiration of the 1994 Agreement on March 31, 2000, URT and Mr. Wolk have entered into negotiations with respect to a proposed new employment agreement between them. URT and Mr. Wolk have also signed three letter agreements with respect to the severance pay provisions of the 1994 Agreement which are described above. Pursuant to such agreements Mr. Wolk has agreed not to assert his right to severance pay under such provisions before December 1, 2000, provided that negotiations for a new employment agreement are still ongoing, and URT has agreed that all of Mr. Wolk's rights under such provisions of the 1994 Agreement are preserved. Should Mr. Wolk become entitled to severance pay pursuant to such provisions by reason of any failure by URT to agree to employ Mr. Wolk on terms no less favorable than those contained in the 1994 Agreement, such an occurrence would have a material impact on URT's financial condition and results of operations.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
URT does not have a compensation committee or other board committee performing equivalent functions. During the 2000 fiscal year, all deliberations concerning executive officer compensation or any other arrangements between URT and any executive officers were conducted by URT's full board of directors, provided, however, that no director voted on compensation payable to him as an executive officer or any other arrangement between him and URT.

(1) Includes 3,150,786 shares owned by Allan Wolk, 25,920 shares owned by his wife and 17,480 shares held by him for his daughter. However, Mr. Wolk has renounced all voting and investment power with respect to those shares of URT which are held by him for his daughter. He believes that his wife will vote the shares owned by her in favor of proposals which he favors, but disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares owned by her or held for the benefit of his daughter.
(2) Such shares are held by Lawrence Strauss and Allan Wolk as trustees for the benefit of children of Sheffield Wolk, Mr. Wolk's brother. Allan Wolk has renounced all voting and investment power with respect to those shares of URT which are so held in trust for the benefit of children of Mr. Wolk's brother. All such powers as trustee are exercised exclusively by the co-trustee, and Mr. Wolk disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.
(3) Such shares are held in the name of Allan Wolk, as custodian. However, Mr. Wolk has renounced all voting and investment power with respect to those shares of URT which are held by him for his two sons, and disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares. Such shares, being listed separately here, are not included under the shares listed as beneficially owned by Allan Wolk.
(4) Based on information supplied by URT's transfer agent. Does not include 160,000 shares reported in a Schedule 13D, dated June 14, 1989, as owned by John T. Gervasoni, Scorpio Music, Inc.'s reported president and 100% shareholder, as to which no confirmation of ownership has been made by URT's transfer agent. The total of such 160,000 shares reported as owned by John T. Gervasoni and the 1,195,550 shares reported as owned by Scorpio Music Inc. is 1,355,550, or approximately 12.5% of the outstanding URT Common A shares.
(5) Includes 780,174 shares owned by Allan Wolk and 6,480 shares owned by his wife. Mr. Wolk believes that his wife will vote the shares owned by her in favor of proposals which he favors, but disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.
As set forth in the above table and footnotes, Allan Wolk and members of his immediate family own approximately 30% or URT's Class A common stock and approximately 58% of URT's Class B common stock. The two classes of URT's common stock are identical except that each class votes separately so that all matters requiring the vote of stockholders require the approval of both classes of common stock voting as separate classes. By reason of such ownership and his position as Chairman of URT, Mr. Wolk may be deemed to have effective control of URT.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
As a result of their purchase in 1983 from an unaffiliated third party seller, Allan Wolk and his brother, Sheffield Wolk, a former director of URT, are the owners of the land and building on which the PEC store in Fort Lauderdale, Florida is located. Such property was and continues to be subject to a lease with PEC as tenant, which had been negotiated by the prior owner. In September 1998, PEC entered in an addendum to lease with Allan Wolk and Sheffield Wolk under which the following lease changes were agreed to: the expiration date of such lease was extended for a period of five years, until March 31, 2008, at an increased rental rate during such five year period; PEC obtained an option to renew the lease for up to two successive five-year renewal terms (until March 31, 2018), at further increased rental rates, if such options are exercised; and the repair and fire insurance provisions were modified. The lease addendum was approved by the directors who had no direct personal interest in the transaction. In the opinion of management, the terms were as reasonable as those which could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
In December, 1984, PEC entered into a long-term lease with Allan Wolk and Sheffield Wolk for premises owned by them in Orlando, Florida. The lease term commenced in December, 1984, and is for a period of twenty years with two additional five year terms. The lease is a triple net lease. The lease provides for a net minimum rental rate of $160,000 during the five year period ending March 31, 2000; and increases of $5,000 during every five year period thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing with the sixth rental year, if net sales at the store during any rental year are less than a specified amount, the annual net minimum rental rate for such year will be the same as that which had been in effect during the preceding five year period. The lease was approved by disinterested directors and, in the opinion of management, is as reasonable as those which could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
In April, 2000, PEC's landlord, Allan Wolk and Sheffield Wolk, agreed with PEC to extend the above-described Orlando, Florida lease to March 31, 2010, to reduce the rent payable under the lease to $145,000 per year from April 1, 2000 through such revised expiration date, and to grant PEC the option to re-new the lease for up to two successive five-year periods at a reduced rent of $152,250 per annum during the first five-year period and at a reduced rent of $159,862 per annum during the second five-year period. Such arrangements were approved by the directors (Allan Wolk abstaining).
In March, 1992, URT, as consideration, in part, for the agreement of Allan Wolk to reduce the amount of compensation which would have been payable to him under the employment agreement with him which was then in effect, agreed to refinance certain indebtedness which was then outstanding from Mr. Wolk to URT, by replacing the promissory notes with respect to such indebtedness by a new promissory note in the original principal amount of $207,640. The replacement promissory note permitted such indebtedness to be repaid over a period of eight years, from April 1, 1992 through March 31, 2000, with interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum, in 96 consecutive monthly installments in the amount of $2,935 each. The loan has now been fully repaid. Mr. Wolk used the funds lent to him to purchase shares of URT's Class A and Class B Common Stock from independent third parties. The disinterested directors authorized URT to finance such purchases as above-described, because they believed that such action would give Mr. Wolk continued incentive to remain with URT and to work to increase the value of its shares. Under Mr. Wolk's 1994 employment agreement with URT, Mr. Wolk was entitled to be credited, as additional compensation the amount of $2,935 per month during the period of his employment until the amount owed was repaid. As a result of such arrangements, during the 2000 fiscal year, Mr. Wolk was credited with a total of $35,220 with respect to the above-described indebtedness.
In April, 1989, URT's board of directors authorized URT to enter into agreements with its officers and directors under which they would be entitled to be indemnified by URT and have their expenses advanced to them in the event of any claim against them in their capacities as officers and directors. Such agreements were entered into with all then-existing officers and directors of URT on or about May 22, 1989. On or about July 14, 1995, and pursuant to the further authorization of the board of directors on such date, URT entered into indemnification agreements with the two additional officers and directors, Brian Wolk and Jason Wolk, who were appointed to their respective positions subsequent to 1989. The indemnification agreements so entered into with Brian Wolk and Jason Wolk are in the same form as the indemnification agreements entered into in 1989 with the then-existing officers and directors.
In order to enable PEC to effect its Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization in February, 1997, URT, in exchange for the issuance to it of 20,000,000 shares of PEC's authorized common stock (including 218,730 treasury shares), took the following steps: contributed $350,000 to the capital of PEC; waived an aggregate of $75,000 of dividends payable by PEC to URT with respect to the period running from January 1, 1996 to March 31, 1997; loaned $700,000 to PEC; and agreed that, subject to the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, it would guarantee the approximately $1,284,000 then payable to PEC's principal suppliers. In order to facilitate the issuance of such shares to URT, URT also waived its right to convert to common stock the Series A preferred stock of PEC which is owned by URT. PEC agreed to reimburse to URT any amounts for which URT might become liable pursuant to such guaranty on the part of URT. The loan from URT and the agreement to reimburse URT for any guaranty-related indebtedness were secured by a mortgage on PEC's Mobile, Alabama store.
On or about November 29, 1997, URT, in order to further strengthen PEC's financial condition, agreed to forgive repayment of one-half of the $700,000 which was loaned by URT to PEC, together with the interest then accrued on the $350,000 so forgiven. On or about March 31, 1999, URT, in order to further strengthen PEC's financial condition, agreed to forgive the remaining $350,000 principal balance, excluding interest. Such interest is payable at the prime rate charged by Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A.
On or about July 10, 1998, URT and its Chairman, Allan Wolk, agreed that, effective as of October 1, 1997, Alan Wolk would be authorized to associate with other companies, whether as director, officer, shareholder, employee or otherwise, provided, however, that no such other company competes or transacts any material amount of business with URT or its affiliates, and he continues to devote so much of his working time to the business affairs of URT and PEC as may be required to properly perform his duties to URT and PEC. Such arrangements were approved by the directors (Allan Wolk abstaining).
On or about July 22, 1998, two of the directors and officers of URT and PEC, Brian Wolk and Jason Wolk, each received from URT, in recognition of substantial services provided to URT and PEC, 1,200,000 shares of the PEC common stock owned by URT. Such shares were transferred subject to the condition that if either such individual had voluntarily left the employ of PEC, or his employment had been terminated by PEC for cause, during the 24 month period ending July 21, 2000, then such individual would have been required to sell his 1,200,000 shares back to URT for the amount which the parties agreed to be the value of such 1,200,000 shares upon execution of the agreement. Such condition did not occur, with the result that the above- described shares are no longer subject to any re-sale back to URT. The issuances of shares to Brian Wolk and Jason Wolk were approved by the directors of URT (with the affected individual abstaining as to the vote with respect to the arrangements with him).
On or about June 12, 2000, URT and PEC entered into an agreement under which URT agreed that in the event that certain conditions were met, which subsequently were met, and in the event that funds generated from PEC's operations and the proceeds of any debt financing which may be obtained are insufficient to meet PEC's then current projected operating requirements for the year ending April 1, 2001, then URT would take any necessary action to see that funds are available to cover any shortfalls up to April 1, 2001. Similar arrangements were in place during the prior two fiscal years.
On or about September 15, 1998, URT loaned the sum of $150,000 to PEC. Such amounts were repaid by PEC to URT on or about December 24, 1998. On or about April 20, 1999, URT loaned the sum of $275,000 to PEC (the "April, 1999 loan"). Such amounts had been required to be repaid, without interest, on or before December 29,1999. On or about August 1, 2000, URT and PEC entered into an agreement under which the following arrangements were agreed to: PEC will use its best efforts to obtain the approval of the holder of the first mortgage on its Mobile, Alabama property to a proposed arrangement under which PEC would transfer such Mobile, Alabama property to URT, URT would forgive the $275,000 debt owed by PEC to it pursuant to the April, 1999 loan, URT would be responsible for the amounts owed pursuant to the outstanding loan from the holder of such first mortgage in accordance with the same loan repayment schedule which is already in place with PEC, PEC would remain responsible for the amounts owed pursuant to the existing second and third mortgages to Allan Wolk and URT, URT would lease the Mobile, Alabama property to PEC for a period of ten years with a ten year renewal option at a rent of $90,000 per annum ($103,500 per annum during the renewal term, if any) and URT, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, would deed over to Peaches a minority interest in such property. Such agreement further provides that if the approval of the holder of such first mortgage is not obtained by November 1, 2000, then URT and PEC shall not pursue such proposed arrangements between them, and URT will instead extend the date by which the April, 1999 loan must be repaid to September 1, 2001. In anticipation of the possible approval of
the holder of such first mortgage URT and PEC have entered into a lease, which is expressly subject to such approval and the consummation of the above-described proposed arrangements between URT and PEC, under which URT would lease the Mobile, Alabama property to PEC on the terms and conditions described above. Such arrangements were approved by the directors.
On or about May 11, 2000, URT's Chairman, Allan Wolk, loaned the sum of $200,000 to PEC. Such loan is required to be repaid by PEC by no later than December 20, 2000 with interest at the rate of 12% per annum. As security for such loan, PEC agreed to provide a mortgage on its Mobile, Alabama store, and URT, as an inducement to the loan of such funds on such terms, agreed to subordinate its second mortgage with respect to such store to the mortgage so granted to Mr. Wolk. Such arrangements were approved by the directors (Allan Wolk abstaining).
