Effective June 25, 1993, the Company sold to Thomas A. Breen, who is currently a director of the Company and who was previously the President of the Company, all of the outstanding common stock of Orion Broadcast of Rockford, Inc. and all of the outstanding common stock of Orion Services Company, for $10.00.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The following is selected consolidated financial information concerning the Company. This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.
ITEM 7.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company has working capital of approximately $246,000 which should be sufficient for the Company to fund its obligations for the next 18 to 24 months provided the Company does not enter into a business combination that provides the Company with business operations. The Company's minimal cash position limits the Company in its future direction because it does not have the ability to raise additional funds through borrowings or equity offerings given its lack of business operations. The long term survivability of the Company depends on whether or not the Company is able to enter into a business combination that would provide the Company with successful business operations.
The Company was relieved of its major debt guaranty due to the sale of its subsidiaries in June 1993. At the time of the sale, the Company had guaranteed approximately $485,000 of a subsidiary's bank debt.
The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures.
- 4 -
Results of Operations
The Company had no significant operations during fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 other than occasional supervision of the bankruptcy proceedings of its subsidiaries. In January 1995, the Company received $208,000 from the settlement proceeds of a lawsuit in which FNRS Acquisition Corporation, a former subsidiary of the Company, was the plaintiff. The settlement proceeds were the only source of cash for the Company during fiscal 1995 and resulted in the Company realizing net income of $90,488 for fiscal 1995. The Company reported a loss of approximately $57,000 in fiscal 1994 and a loss of approximately $129,000 in fiscal 1993. The loss in fiscal 1994 was less than in fiscal 1993 because approximately $70,000 of the loss in fiscal 1993 was a one time loss that related to depreciation and writedown of obsolete computer equipment utilized by the bankrupt subsidiaries. Revenue in each fiscal year consisted of interest income on the remaining cash on hand.
On July 13, 1992, the subsidiaries of the Company filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws. The filings were precipitated by a breach of contract by the Resolution Trust Corporation with FNRS Financial Corp. These subsidiaries were sold to an officer of the Company for a nominal amount in June 1993.
Inflation
The effects of inflation of the Company's operations is not material and is not anticipated to have any material effect in the future.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Orion Financial, Ltd., as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS:
Operations - Orion Financial, Ltd. (the Company) was incorporated in Colorado in 1981. Through June 25, 1993, the Company had the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: Orion Services Company (formerly Vehicle Resource Corporation or VRC), Orion Broadcast of Rockford, Inc. (Orion Rockford), and United Leasing Company (inactive). In 1987, Orion Rockford formed Orion Financial Services Corporation (Orion Financial), a 94% owned subsidiary, to enter into the acquisition of FNRS Acquisition Corporation (FNRS Acquisition). FNRS Acquisition acquired FN Realty Services, Inc. (FN Realty) and formed FNRS Financial Corporation (FNRS) in fiscal 1988. The operations of VRC were discontinued in fiscal 1990, while the operations of FN Realty were discontinued during fiscal 1991.
On July 13, 1992, all of the Company's active subsidiaries declared bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code. Effective June 25, 1993, the Company sold its entire interest in VRC and Orion Rockford to the former president of the Company (see Note 3). At present, the Company has no operations.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents are generally comprised of highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less, such as money funds and certificates of deposit. These investments are stated at cost which approximates market value.
Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment - Such amounts are stated at cost with depreciation computed principally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to six years.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share - Net income (loss) per share has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Stock options have been excluded from the computation because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes on the liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected 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 based on the difference between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Marketable Securities - Marketable securities consist of U.S. Treasury bills, which have been classified as trading securities. Trading securities are carried at market value (which approximates cost) at June 30, 1995.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. SALE OF SUBSIDIARIES:
On July 13, 1992, all of the Company's active subsidiaries declared bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code, due to, among other things, cash flow difficulties experienced after the loss of a major customer. The subsidiaries attempted to reorganize, but effective June 25, 1993, due to continuing losses, the Company sold its entire interest in the subsidiaries to the former president of the Company for a nominal amount and a release of the Company's guarantee on certain debt of FNRS. The transaction resulted in no gain or loss.
4. RESTRICTED CASH:
Restricted cash is comprised of collateral on a bond posted by the Company for FNRS. The bond was required by a state in which FNRS previously conducted business. FNRS has voluntarily withdrawn from doing business in this state and surrendered its license. The underlying bond was released in August 1994.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
On April 7, 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with FNRS Acquisition to advance it funds for a lawsuit it had brought against another party. The agreement limited such advances to a maximum of $50,000, of which $25,000 had been advanced at June 30, 1993. The Company was to be reimbursed for any advances made out of the proceeds of any settlement or judgment received, with proceeds in excess of advances allocated between the Company and FNRS Acquisition. The litigation was settled in January 1995, and the Company received approximately $208,000 from the settlement proceeds, resulting in a gain of approximately $129,000.
The Company paid approximately $8,000 in legal expenses on behalf of some of its former subsidiaries during fiscal 1993. The legal expenses related to the bankruptcies of the former subsidiaries.
The Company received $39,832 in repayments in July 1992 on amounts owed to it from VRC and Orion Rockford.
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
The Company was named as a co-defendant in a lawsuit brought against FNRS by a former vendor, which alleged breach of contract. Damages were not specified. The claim was dismissed pending settlement of FNRS's bankruptcy, but if the claim is not disposed of in the bankruptcy settlement, it could be refiled. The Company believes it has valid defenses against this claim.

7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:
The Company adopted an incentive stock option plan in 1984 reserving 312,500 shares of common stock for certain employees, officers, and directors. The exercise price was required to be at least the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant, and the term of each option granted was not to be for more than ten years from the date of the grant. The plan expired in February 1994.
If options were granted to individuals owning more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding common stock, the exercise price had to be at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant and the term for each option granted would not be for more than five years from the date of the grant.
On July 13, 1987, the Board of Directors of the Company granted a stock option under the 1984 stock option plan for 187,500 shares of the Company's common stock to a director and officer of the Company. The option was exercisable at $.72 per share with 62,500 options expiring in July 1992, 1993, and 1994. No options were exercised and they have all expired. In June 1991, the Board granted a stock option under the 1984 plan to an officer of the Company for 30,000 shares exercisable at $.47 per share through 2001. None of these options have been exercised.
On November 8, 1991, the Company adopted a 1991 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for the directors, officers and employees of the Company. Two million shares are reserved under this plan. The terms of each option granted will not be for more than ten years from date of grant, and no options can be granted under the plan after November 8, 2001. No options have been granted under this plan.
In April 1993, the Board of Directors of the Company granted stock options covering 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, 400,000 shares each to four directors of the Company at that time (including the president of the Company), and 400,000 shares to an individual from the Company's legal counsel. The options are exercisable at $.03 per share through April 1998. None have been exercised to date.
The Company has authorized, but unissued, preferred stock which may be issued in series with such preferences as determined by the Company's Board of Directors.

8. INCOME TAXES:
There was no provision for income taxes for the year ended June 30, 1995 due to the use of net operating loss carryforwards.

Net operating loss carryforward..... $ 450,000
