PROXY STATEMENT

for the

ANNUAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

March 30, 2005

This Proxy Statement is being mailed on or about February 25, 2005 to the Shareholders of record of Blue Ridge Real Estate Company and Big Boulder Corporation (each a ²Corporation² and collectively the ²Corporations²) in connection with the Joint Annual Meetings of Shareholders of the Corporations to be held on March 30, 2005, at the JP Morgan Chase Building located at 270 Park Avenue at 48^th Street in New York City, NY, at 9:00 A.M., local time, and at any adjournment or adjournments thereof (the ²Joint Meeting²).

You are entitled to attend the annual meeting only if you were a Blue Ridge Real Estate Company and Big Boulder Corporation stockholder as of the close of business on February 9, 2005 or hold a valid proxy for the annual meeting.  You should be prepared to present photo identification for admittance.  The annual meeting will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m., local time.  You should allow ample time for the check-in procedures.

Under a Security Combination Agreement between the Corporations and under the By-Laws of both Corporations, shares of the two Corporations are combined in unit certificates, each certificate representing the same number of shares of each of the Corporations.  Shares of each Corporation may be transferred only together with an equal number of shares of the other Corporation.  For this reason, the Annual Meetings of the Shareholders of both Corporations are held together as a Joint Meeting.  At the Joint Meeting, separate votes will be held on the proposals concerning each Corporation, and shareholders have the right to vote their shares differently on similar proposals presented by each of the Corporations before the Joint Meeting.  Only one Proxy Card has been supplied to Shareholders, but this Card constitutes separate proxies with regard to the shares of the respective Corporations, and provides means for Sharehold ers to give instructions for voting their Blue Ridge Real Estate Company shares separately from their Big Boulder Corporation shares.

The proxies evidenced by the Proxy Card are solicited on behalf of the Boards of Directors of the respective Corporations.  Each such proxy is subject to revocation by the Shareholder at any time before it is voted by filing notice of revocation with the Secretary of the Corporations or by filing a duly executed proxy bearing a later date.  A proxy may also be revoked by attending the Joint Meeting and voting in person.

The costs of preparing, assembling and mailing this Proxy Statement, the Notice of Meetings, the Annual Report, the enclosed form of Proxy Card and any additional material relating to the Joint Meetings which may be furnished to the Shareholders on behalf of the Board of Directors subsequent to the furnishing of this Proxy Statement have been or are to be borne by the Corporations, with each of the Corporations to pay one-half of such costs.

In addition to the use of the mails, the Corporations may, if they consider it desirable, solicit proxies personally or by telephone or facsimile.  Such solicitation may be made by officers, directors or employees of the Corporations without additional compensation.  Banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to forward the soliciting material to their principals and to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies, in which event they will be reimbursed upon request for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith.

A copy of the Corporations’ Annual Report for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004, accompanies this Proxy Statement but is not considered a part of the proxy-soliciting material.  Additional copies of such report are available to any Shareholder upon request.

VOTING SECURITIES

Each of the Corporations had outstanding on February 9, 2005, 1,949,130 shares of common stock, without par value, and neither has any other authorized class of securities.  Only Shareholders of record of the Corporations at the close of business on February 9, 2005, the record date, will be entitled to vote at the Joint Meeting.  Each Shareholder has the right to cumulate his or her votes in the election of directors and may cumulate his or her votes differently in voting for the election of directors of each Corporation.  Cumulative voting entitles the Shareholder to multiply his or her shares by the number of directors (4) to be elected, and to cast the number of votes so determined for one person or to distribute such number, in his or her discretion, among two or more persons.  To vote cumulatively, a Shareholder must write the name of the nominee or nominees selected and the number of votes to be cast for each nominee following the words ²Cumulative For² on the lines provided under Items 1 and 2 on the Proxy Card.  On all other matters, each share of each of the Corporations will be entitled to one vote.

Shares cannot be voted at the Joint Meeting unless the holder of record is present in person or represented by Proxy.  The enclosed Proxy Card is a means by which a Shareholder may authorize the voting of his or her shares at the Joint Meeting.  If a Proxy Card is properly executed, returned to the Corporations or their agent and not revoked, the shares represented by such Proxy Card will be voted in accordance with the instructions set forth thereon.  Shareholders are urged to specify their choices by marking the appropriate box of the Proxy Card.  If no instructions are given with respect to the matters to be acted upon, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted at the discretion of the proxy agents, as described below.  If any other matters are properly presented at the Joint Meeting, the proxy agents will vote the proxies (which confer discretionary authority to vote on such matters) at their discret ion.  A Shareholder may attend the meeting even though he or she has executed a Proxy Card.

With respect to each Corporation, presence at the Joint Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares that are entitled to vote and outstanding on February 9, 2005 is necessary to constitute a quorum.  Accordingly, the presence of 974,566 shares will constitute a quorum.  Shares represented by a properly signed and returned proxy are considered present at the Joint Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, regardless of whether the holder of such shares or proxy withholds his, her or its vote or abstains.  Broker non-votes also count as shares present at the meeting for purposes of a quorum.  All votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote and will have no effect on the outcome.

With regard to the election of directors, Shareholders may cumulate votes for the nominees specified on the Proxy Card, as described above, or withhold votes for certain or all of the nominees.  A plurality of the votes cast is required for the election of directors.  Accordingly, the four nominees for election as directors who receive the highest number of votes actually cast will be elected.

If you hold your shares in “street name” through a broker or other nominee, your broker or nominee may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to some of the matters to be acted upon.  Under the rules that govern brokers who are voting with respect to shares held in street name, brokers have the discretion to vote such shares on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters.  Routine matters include the election of directors.  Non-routine matters include matters such as amendments to stock plans.  Therefore, if you do not give your broker or nominee specific instructions, your shares may not be voted on non-routine matters and will not be counted in the voting results.  Shares represented by such “broker non-votes” will, however, be counted in determining whether there is a quorum.

If the Joint Meeting is postponed or adjourned, your proxy will still be valid and may be voted at the rescheduled meeting. You will still be able to revoke your proxy until it is voted.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Four directors of each Corporation are to be elected at the Joint Meeting, as set forth by resolution of the Board of Directors.

The By-Laws of each of the Corporations permit up to eight members to comprise the whole Board of Directors of each Corporation.

The persons named as proxy agents in the enclosed Proxy Card have advised the Board of Directors of each Corporation that it is their intention to cumulate votes in their discretion among all or less than all of the four nominees for the Board of Directors unless a specific direction to cumulate votes in a particular manner is included on the Proxy Card.  If elected, the directors of each Corporation will hold office until the next Annual Meeting of such Corporation when their successors are elected.  If any vacancy shall occur because of death or other unexpected occurrence in the slates of nominees listed below for election as directors, the proxy agents have advised the Boards of Directors of the Corporations that it is their intention to vote the proxies for such substitute nominees as may be proposed by or on behalf of the Boards of Directors of each of the Corporations.

Information with respect to the nominees, the periods during which they have served as directors of each Corporation, their principal occupations and their ages is set forth below.

Milton Cooper

Director since 1983

Milton Cooper, age 75, serves as a director of Getty Realty Corporation, and as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors of Kimco Realty Corporation.

Michael J. Flynn

Chairman of the Board of Directors since 1990

Michael J. Flynn, age 69, serves as the President, Chief Operating Officer and Vice Chairman of the board of directors of Kimco Realty Corporation.  Mr. Flynn is the father of Patrick M. Flynn.

Patrick M. Flynn

Director since 2001

Patrick M. Flynn, age 28, has served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporations since October 2001.  Mr. Flynn has served as the Director of Real Estate at Kimco Realty Corporation since May 2001.  Prior to joining the Corporations, from June 1995 to May 2001, Mr. Flynn was a consultant at MIT Consulting.  Mr. Flynn is the son of Michael J. Flynn.

Wolfgang Traber

Director since 1986

Wolfgang Traber, age 60, has been the Chairman of the board of Hanseatic Corporation, a New York corporation, since August 1994.  Mr. Traber also serves as a director of M.M. Warburg & Co. KgaA, Kimco Income REIT, Kappa Ventures, Langen GbR, 442 BV, Hanseatic Americas Ltd., and Hamburg-Berliner Immobilien AG.

Each of the nominees for election as director has stated that there is no arrangement or understanding of any kind between him or any other person or persons relating to his election as a director, except that such nominees have agreed to serve as a director of the Corporations if elected.

The directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Joint Meeting.  Accordingly, the four nominees for election as directors who receive the highest number of votes actually cast will be elected.  The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR each of the nominees.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

Each Board of Directors has an Executive Committee, an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee, but does not have a Nominating Committee.  Each Board of Directors met in person or conducted telephonic meetings a total of twelve (12) times during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.  During that same period, each Board of Directors acted two (2) times by unanimous written consent.

In the view of each Board of Directors, it is appropriate for each Board of Directors not to have a nominating committee because Mr. Milton Cooper is the beneficial owner of 63.36% of the Corporations’ common stock.  Therefore, Mr. Cooper is able to cast a sufficient number of votes to elect a majority of the Directors of each Corporation.  If either Board of Directors, in consultation with Mr. Cooper, determined to nominate for election as a director any person not then-currently serving as a director, that Board of Directors would consider at that time the appropriateness of forming a nominating committee to address the relevant issues.  Neither Board of Directors has adopted a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders.  Each Board of Directors believes it is appropriate not to have such a policy in view of Mr. Cooper’s beneficial ownership of the C orporations’ common stock.  Neither Board of Directors has adopted any specific, minimum qualifications that it believes must be met by a person it recommends for nomination as a director or any specific skills it believes are necessary for its Directors to possess.  Neither Board of Directors has a defined process for identifying or evaluating nominees for election as Directors.  Each director of each Corporation participates in the consideration of nominees for the Board of Directors of such Corporation.

Executive Committee

The executive committee of each Corporation consisted of Michael J. Flynn, Patrick M. Flynn and Eldon D. Dietterick.  This committee is empowered to exercise all powers of each Board of Directors, except action on dividends, during the intervening period between regular Board Meetings. The Executive Committee did not convene during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.

Audit Committee

The audit committee of each Corporation, composed of Michael J. Flynn, Patrick M. Flynn and Eldon D. Dietterick, held four meetings during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. Michael J. Flynn is the chairperson of each Corporation’s audit committee.  The purposes of each audit committee are:

·

To assist its board of directors in its oversight of (1) the integrity of each Corporation’s financial statements; (2) each Corporation’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and (3) the performance of each Corporation’s internal audit function;

·

To interact directly with and evaluate the performance of the independent auditors, including to determine whether to engage or dismiss the independent auditors and to monitor the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence; and

·

To prepare the report required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission to be included in the Corporations’ proxy statement.

The Corporations’ Boards of Directors have determined that the Corporations do not have an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, serving on the Audit Committees of their Boards of Directors.  The Corporations do not have an audit committee financial expert because their Boards of Directors believe it would be difficult to attract a person with the requisite qualifications, who would be an independent director, to the Boards of Directors.  Further, the Boards of Directors have determined that the persons serving on the Audit Committees of the Corporations’ Boards of Directors possess such experience in financial matters and have such knowledge of issues relating to financial reporting and auditing so as to adequately discharge their duties to shareholders of the Corporations in their capacity as members of the Au dit Committees of the Corporations’ Boards of Directors.

<PAGE>

None of the members of the Audit Committee would be considered independent under Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASD’s listing standards applicable to companies whose securities are traded on Nasdaq. While the Corporations’ securities are not traded on Nasdaq and, therefore, the Corporations are not required to satisfy Nasdaq’s listing standards, under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Corporations are required to state whether the members of their Audit Committees would be considered independent as if the Corporations’ securities were traded on Nasdaq.

Compensation Committee

The compensation committee of each Corporation consists of Milton Cooper and Wolfgang Traber.  This committee reviews general compensation policies and reviews and recommends salary and other adjustments for employees and executive officers. The compensation committee did not convene during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.

Attendance at Meetings

All directors attended 100% of all board of director meetings and at least 75% of applicable committee meetings of the committees on which they served.

The Corporations’ policy encourages, but does not require, attendance by the Directors at the Annual Meetings of Shareholders of the Corporations.  At the annual meetings held in 2004, 2 of the Directors were in attendance.

Director Compensation

All directors receive $1,000 for each Board Meeting they attend.  Directors do not receive compensation for committee meetings.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS

We have reviewed and discussed with the Corporations’ management and their independent auditing firm, Parente Randolph PC (the “Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm”), the Corporations' audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004, known as the Audited Financial Statements.  In addition, we have discussed with the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm the matters required to be discussed by Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended, by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

We have received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as amended, by the Independence Standards Board, and we have discussed with that firm its independence from the Corporations.

Management is responsible for the Corporations’ internal controls and the financial reporting process. The Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Corporations’ financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and issuing a report thereon.  The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

Based on the foregoing review and discussions and a review of the report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm with respect to the Audited Financial Statements, and relying thereon, we hereby recommend to the Board of Directors of each Corporation the inclusion of the Audited Financial Statements in the Corporations’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

There are no discloseable items under this section.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Compensation Committee of each Corporation assumed responsibility for establishing and administering the Corporation’s executive compensation programs and determining awards of incentive bonuses and stock option grants.  This report is submitted on behalf of the Compensation Committee of each Corporation.

Compensation Philosophy

The Compensation Committee’s compensation philosophy is designed to support the Corporation’s primary objective of creating long-term value of shareholders.  The Compensation Committee follows a three-pronged compensation strategy applicable to the Corporation’s executive officers and other key employees whereby such employees are compensated through three separate but related compensation arrangements:

First, each key employee receives a base salary consistent with his or her core responsibilities;

Second, incentive bonuses allow the Corporation to recognize individual performance and contributions to the Corporation on an annual basis; and

Third, stock option grants are made to provide a longer term incentive and reward longer term loyalty and performance.

This strategy is intended to (i) attract and retain talented executives; (ii) emphasize pay for performance; and (iii) encourage management devotion to the long-term valuation of the Corporation.

The following are descriptions of the Corporation’s compensation programs for executive officers.

Base Salary

The Corporation generally establishes base salary ranges by considering compensation levels in similarly sized companies in the resort/leisure/hospitality industry and the real estate development

industry.  The base salary and performance of each executive officer is reviewed periodically (at least annually) by his or her immediate supervisor resulting in salary actions as appropriate.  An employee’s level of responsibility is the primary factor used in determining base salary.  Individual performance and industry information are also considered in determining any salary adjustment.  The Committee reviews and approves all executive officer salary adjustments as recommended by the CEO.

<PAGE>

11

Bonus Plan

The Corporation has established an incentive compensation plan for certain of the Corporation’s employees, which is designed to provide rewards for shorter term productivity by key employees.  The bonus plan is generally directed at key members of the management team.  The bonus plan for the Corporation’s 2005 fiscal year remains subject to approval by the Compensation Committee.

Employee Stock Option Awards

The Corporation’s philosophy on stock option awards are designed to align management interests with those of shareholders. In furtherance of this objective, the level of stock option grants for executive officers is determined by the Committee each year, typically in consultation with the CEO except with respect to the CEO himself.  Awards for all employees (including all executive officers) are determined by giving equal consideration to base salary, level of responsibility and industry long-term compensation information.  All stock option grants to the Named Executive Officers in Fiscal 2004 are reflected in the table entitled “Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year.”

CEO Compensation

Mr. Patrick Flynn’s compensation for Fiscal 2004 consisted of a cash bonus and a stock option grant reflected in the table entitled “Executive Compensation”.  Mr. Flynn is also a participant in the Corporation’s defined benefit pension plan.

Mr. Flynn is an employee of Kimco Realty Corporation, our majority shareholder.  He receives a base salary from Kimco, a portion of which is then billed to Blue Ridge Real Estate Company and Big Boulder Corporation and paid to Kimco as consulting fees.

STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The following graph compares the percentage change in the cumulative total shareholder return on the Common Sharesfrom the end of the Corporation’s 1999 fiscal year through the end of the Corporation’s 2004 fiscal year with the cumulative total return of the NASDAQ Composite Index and a peer's results during such period. The corporation used as the peer is Vail Resorts, Inc., which owns and operates ski resort properties, hotels and lodging facilities.  Vail Resorts, Inc. also develops, buys and sells real estate in and around the company’s resort communities.   The comparison assumes that $100 was invested at the beginning of such period in our Common Shares and in the NASDAQ Composite Index and Vail Resorts, Inc. and assumes the reinvestment of any dividends.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Corporations’ officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Corporations’ equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  Their initial report must be filed using the SEC’s Form 3 and they must report subsequent stock purchase, sales, option exercises and other changes using the SEC’s Form 4, which must be filed within two business days of most transactions.  In some cases, such as changes in ownership arising from gifts and inheritances, the SEC allows delayed reporting at year-end on Form 5.  Executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own greater than 10% of a registered class of the Corporations’ equity securities are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Corpor ations with copies of all reports they file pursuant to Section 16(a).

Based solely on a review of the copies of such reports received, or written representations from certain reporting persons, the Corporations believe that during the period from November 1, 2003 through October 31, 2004, its directors, officers and 10% shareholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements, with the exceptions noted herein. Patrick M. Flynn inadvertently filed an untimely Form 3 to report his appointment as President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Blue Ridge Real Estate Company and Big Boulder Corporation in October 2001.  Mr. Flynn also inadvertently filed an untimely Form 4 to report stock option grants he received between December 2001 and February 2004. Eldon D. Dietterick inadvertently filed an untimely Form 3 to report his appointment as Executive Vice-President and Treasurer of Blue Ridge Real Estate Company and Big Boulder Corporation in October 2001.  Mr. Dietterick also inadvertent ly filed an untimely Form 4 to report stock option grants he received between December 2001 and February 2004 and a purchase of common stock in December 2002.  Richard T. Frey inadvertently filed an untimely Form 3 to report his appointment as Vice President of Blue Ridge Real Estate Company and Big Boulder Corporation in October 2001.  Mr. Frey also inadvertently filed an untimely Form 4 to report stock option grants he received between December 2001 and February 2004 and a purchase of common stock in May 2003.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Kimco Realty Services, Inc. is the Corporations’ controlling shareholder and Kimco Realty Corporation, the parent company of Kimco Realty Services, Inc., is presently providing consulting services to the Corporations.  The services are focused on land development, acquisitions and disposals.  For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004, the amount was $285,000.  Kimco Realty Corporation served as the management company for the Dreshertown Plaza Shopping Center from June 2003 to March 2004, at which point the shopping center was sold.  During its management term, Kimco Realty Corporation was paid $50,977 in management fees.

During June 2004, two commercial rental real estate properties were acquired, the Oxbridge Square Shopping Center, Richmond, Virginia and the Coursey Commons Shopping Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana as replacement properties in the Corporations’ Real Estate Management/Rental Operations segment.  Together the properties approximated $20,000,000 of acquired value.  The purchase was financed by approximately $8,044,000 of cash held in escrow from the sale of Dreshertown Plaza, plus assuming a long-term note approximating $4,050,000 and obtaining a short-term bridge loan from Kimco Capital Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kimco Realty Corporation, approximating $7,375,000 with interest payable at 6% per annum.  As of September 3, 2004, the short-term bridge loan from Kimco Capital Corp. was paid in full and replaced with long-term financing with JP Morgan Chase Bank in the amount of $7.7 milli on.  As of the dates of purchase, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kimco Realty Corporation was, and currently remains, the management company for both shopping centers and receives a fixed monthly fee of 4.5% of rental income on store leases.  As of October 31, 2004, that subsidiary received $24,600 for management fees earned on the new shopping centers.

Michael J. Flynn, the Chairman of the Corporations’ board of directors, is also the President, Chief Operating Officer and Vice Chairman of the board of directors of Kimco Realty Corporation.  In addition, Patrick M. Flynn, who serves as one of the Corporations’ directors and is the Corporations’ President and Chief Executive Officer, is the Director of Real Estate at Kimco Realty Corporation.  Finally, Milton Cooper, who serves as one of the Corporations’ directors, also serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors of Kimco Realty Corporation.

In January 2005, the Corporations filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to which the Corporations are proposing to offer the Corporations’ existing shareholders non-transferable rights to purchase shares of the Corporations’ common stock that have an aggregate value of $15,500,000, rounded to the nearest whole share.  Under the proposed rights offering, each of the shareholders will also have an over-subscription right.  In connection with filing the registration statement, the Corporations entered into a Standby Securities Purchase Agreement with Kimco Realty Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kimco Realty Corporation, which provides that Kimco Realty Services will purchase any and all shares of the Corporations’ common stock not subscribed for by the Corporations’ shareholders in the proposed rights offering.  The Corporations also granted Kimco Realty Services registration rights with respect to the shares that Kimco purchases that are not otherwise subscribed for by the Corporations’ shareholders in the proposed rights offering.  As a result, Kimco Realty Services can cause the Corporations to register the shares it purchases pursuant to its standby purchase commitment and such shares would be eligible for resale in the public market without restriction.  The registration statement relating to the proposed rights offering has not been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

APPENDIX A

AMENDED AND RESTATED CHARTER OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

OF

BLUE RIDGE REAL ESTATE COMPANY

BIG BOULDER CORPORATION

I.

Purpose

The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Blue Ridge Real Estate Company and Big Boulder Corporation (the “Company”) is appointed by, and generally acts on behalf of, the Board.  The Committee’s purposes shall be:

A.

To assist the Board in its oversight of (1) the integrity of the Company’s financial statements; (2) the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and (3) the performance of the Company’s internal audit function;

B.

To interact directly with and evaluate the performance of the independent auditors, including to determine whether to engage or dismiss the independent auditors and to monitor the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence; and

C.

To prepare the report required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to be included in the Company’s proxy statement.

Although the Committee has the powers and responsibilities set forth in this Charter, the role of the Committee is oversight.  The members of the Committee may or may not be accountants or auditors by profession or experts in the fields of accounting or auditing and, in any event, do not serve in such capacity.  Consequently, it is not the duty of the Committee to conduct audits, to independently verify management’s representations, or to determine that the Company’s financial statements are complete and accurate, are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), or fairly present the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company in accordance with GAAP.  These are the responsibilities of management and the independent auditors. The Committee’s considerations and discussions with management and the indepen dent auditors do not ensure that the Company’s financial statements are presented in accordance with GAAP, that the audit of the Company’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, or that the Company’s independent auditors are in fact “independent.”

II.

Membership

A.

The Committee shall be composed of at least two directors.

B.

All members of the Committee must be financially literate.  To the extent possible, at least one member of the Committee shall be an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined by the SEC.

C.

The members of the Committee shall be nominated and appointed by a majority of the Board for one-year terms. The Board shall designate one member of the Committee to serve as Chairperson.  The members of the Committee shall serve until their resignation, retirement, or removal by the Board and until their successors shall be appointed.  No member of the Committee shall be removed except by majority vote of the directors of the full Board then in office.

D.

Generally, no member of the Committee may serve simultaneously on the audit committees of more than three public companies without a specific Board determination that such simultaneous service will not impair the ability of such Committee member to serve on the Committee.

<PAGE>

III.

Meetings and Procedures

The Committee shall meet with the independent auditors, the senior personnel performing the Company’s internal audit function, and management in separate meetings, as often as it deems necessary and appropriate in its judgment.

The Chairperson of the Committee or a majority of the members of the Committee may call a special meeting of the Committee.

The Committee may request that any directors, officers, or employees of the Company, or other persons whose advice and counsel are sought by the Committee, attend any meeting to provide such information as the Committee requests.

F.

The Committee shall report to the Board on the matters discussed at each meeting of the Committee, including describing all actions taken by the Committee at the meeting.

G.

The Committee shall keep written minutes of its meetings, which minutes shall be maintained with the books and records of the Company.

The Committee may delegate authority to one or more members of the Committee where appropriate, but no such delegation shall be permitted if the authority is required by law, regulation, or listing standard to be exercised by the Committee as a whole.

I.

The Committee shall have the authority to obtain advice and assistance from internal and external legal, accounting, and other advisors, and the Company shall provide appropriate funding for the Committee to retain any such advisors without requiring the Committee to seek Board approval.
