In contrast to the image of the Towers Financial Corporation that is sketched by Steven Hoffenberg and his supporters, the fine print in the company's annual reports shows a concern whose explosive growth has been accompanied by some unusual accounting arrangements and an uneven compliance with its legal obligations to its investors. But for an important bookkeeping change, the company's profits in its most recent fiscal year would have vanished. The accounting change added roughly $8.5 million to the company's ledgers for the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 1992, enabling the company to report annual profits of $5.4 million. Without the change, the company would have ended the year about $500,000 in the red, after belatedly writing off $3.8 million in losses from an insurance operation in Illinois that closed.
