NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  Basis of Combination

     The  combined condensed financial  statements  include the accounts of Blue Ridge Real Estate Company and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries  (Northeast Land Company, Jack Frost Mountain Company, Boulder Creek Resort Company, Moseywood Construction Company, Jack Frost National Golf Course, Inc., Blue Ridge Acquisition Company, BRRE Holdings, Inc., Oxbridge Square Shopping Center, LLC, Coursey Commons Shopping Center, LLC, Coursey Creek, LLC, Cobble Creek, LLC and Flower Fields Motel, LLC) (“Blue Ridge”) and Big Boulder Corporation and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  (Lake  Mountain  Company and BBC  Holdings, Inc.) (“Big Boulder” and, together with Blue Ridge, the “Companies”).  

     The combined condensed financial statements as of and for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 are unaudited and are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these combined condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Companies’ 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying combined condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.

     Due to intermittent revenues from land resource management, the results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

     The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  For example, unexpected changes in market conditions or a downturn in the economy could adversely affect actual results.  Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, land development costs, accounts and mortgages receivables, the unguaranteed residual value of assets under direct financing leasing arrangements, legal liability, insurance liability, depreciation, employee benefits, taxes, and contingencies.  Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the combined condensed financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.

     Management believes that its accounting policies regarding revenue recognition, land development costs, long lived assets, net investment in direct financing leases, deferred income and income taxes among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its combined condensed financial statements.  For a description of these critical accounting policies and estimates, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. There are no significant changes in the Companies’ critical accounting policies or estimates since the Companies’ fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 (“Fiscal 2006”).

     Certain amounts in the 2006 combined condensed financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation.  The Companies have reclassified the operating results of the Companies ski operations and the Oxbridge Square shopping center, to report discontinued operations, in accordance with guidance provided under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.  Upon evaluating the characteristics outlined in SFAS No. 144, the Companies concluded that reclassification to discontinued operations is appropriate, and consistent with reporting in the Companies’ annual filing as of October 31, 2006.



- 5 -



3.  Segment Reporting

     The Companies currently operate in three business segments, which consist of Real Estate Management/Rental Operations, Summer Recreation Operations and Land Resource Management.

4.  Income Taxes

   The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 is calculated using the estimated annual effective tax rate for the year ending October 31, 2007 and 2006.  The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 (“Fiscal 2007”) and Fiscal 2006 was estimated at 40% and 39%, respectively.

5.  Stock Based Compensation

   As of March 20, 2007, five corporate officers were granted stock options totaling 21,500 shares.  The options have a term of five years and vest over three years.  The shares were issued at an exercise price of $39.00 per share, which equals the estimated fair market value of the companies’ underlying common stock on the date of grant.

   During the three months ended July 31, 2007, no stock options were issued or exercised.

   The fair value of each option award is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Expected volatilities are based upon historical volatilities of the Companies’ stock.  The Companies use historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations with the valuation model.  The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.  The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

   Option activity during the period ended July 31, 2007 is as follows:

- 6 -



The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 is $251,600 and $944,000, respectively.  The Companies expect to recognize compensation expense related to non-vested awards totaling approximately $232,875 over the next three years based on graded average vesting.

The Companies’ policy regarding the exercise of options is that optionees utilize an independent broker to manage the transaction, whereby, the broker sells the exercised shares on the open market.

6.  Land and Land Development Costs

Land and improvements in progress held for development consists of the following:

 

7/31/2007 

10/31/2006 

Land unimproved designated for development

$592,022

$585,731 

Golf course development

399,563

9,967,411 

Residential development

5,246,176

5,221,410 

Infrastructure development

13,664,174

12,176,117 

 

$19,901,935

$27,950,669 

The increase in residential development was primarily due to construction costs associated with the Woodsbluff Court duplex units ($787,379) located in the Laurelwoods residential community and with the Boulder Lake Village condominium project ($534,558) located on Big Boulder Lake. Residential development costs (including costs for infrastructure improvements) were offset by the sale of six homes in the Laurelwoods II residential community ($1,297,172).

The infrastructure development increase resulted from costs associated with upgrades to the Jack Frost sewage treatment plant and temporary lagoon ($850,716) and to roads and sewer lines for the planned golf course community ($637,341).

The decrease in Golf Course development was the result of the reclassification of costs to land held for recreation ($8,629,412) and land improvements and equipment ($1,652,626) once the golf course was opened to the public in May 2007.  The balance remaining in golf course development represents construction in progress on the permanent clubhouse and the driving range.

7.  Land

 

7/31/2007 

10/31/2006

  Land – Unimproved

During the quarter ended July 31, 2007 when the golf course opened for operation, we reclassified both golf course and ski areas land from “Land held for investment” to “Land held for recreation” to better reflect the Companies’ business operations.

9.  Discontinued Operations

As a result of management’s decision to primarily focus its efforts on land development activities, effective December 1, 2005, the Companies entered into a long term lease agreement with JFBB Ski Areas, Inc., an affiliate of Peak Resorts and an unrelated third party (the “Lessee”), whereby the Lessee will operate and maintain the two ski resorts and recognize the revenues and expenses from operations in exchange for the Companies receiving payments under the terms of the lease.  As a result of entering into this lease agreement, the Companies have discontinued operations from the ski operations segment and have reported the activity recognized as discontinued operations.

On June 16, 2006, the Oxbridge Square shopping center was sold as a Section 1031 tax deferred exchange and as a result of the Companies no longer being involved with that business, the operating activity for the three and nine months ending July 31, 2007 and 2006 is reported as a discontinued operation.  The operating results of the Oxbridge Square shopping center was previously reported in the rental income segment.

Operating results, including interest expense incurred, for the discontinued operation of the ski operations and the Oxbridge Square shopping center for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

   Unearned income is amortized into earnings using the interest method.  The scheduled lease payment increase over the terms of the leases have been accounted for on a straight line basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the minimum lease payments are evaluated for collectibility on an ongoing basis.

11.  Per Share Data

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS assumes weighted average options have been exercised to purchase shares of common stock in the three and nine months ended July 31, 2006, net of assumed repurchases using the treasury stock method. Certain unexercised stock options to purchase shares of the Companies’ common stock were excluded from the dilutive calculation for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2007 due to the exercise price of the options being greater than the market price of the Companies’ common stock.

Weighted average basic and diluted shares, taking into consideration shares issued, weighted average options used in calculating EPS and treasury shares repurchased, for each of the periods presented are as follows:

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The Companies’ principal business is the management and development of their real estate and rental properties.  Also significant to the Companies’ operations is the development of “drive-to” and “destination” resort communities in and around the two ski areas, Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder.

Since the completion of the Companies’ last large-scale real estate development project in the 1980s, which established our four resort communities, management was primarily focused on the promotion and maintenance of the two ski areas, our summer operations and the resort communities.  Beginning in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2001, the Companies began to refocus their attention on the further development of their real estate holdings.  Management is continuing to evaluate the feasibility of the Companies’ current real estate projects based on market demand and economic conditions.

The Companies own 16,993 acres of land, 16,980 of which is located in Northeastern Pennsylvania.  Of the Pennsylvania land holdings, the Companies’ have designated 4,983 acres as held for development and are moving forward with governmental approvals.  Management believes that the Companies’ primary focus should be on the construction of single and multi-family dwellings in proximity to the ski areas.  It is expected that all of the Companies planned developments will result in approximately 3,700 lots or units, some of which will be subdivided and sold as parcels of land, while others will be developed into single and multi-family housing.  For Fiscal 2007, management intends to continue selective sales and purchases of land, some of which may be treated as section 1031 tax deferred exchanges.  Management is also taking various steps to attract new land sale customers.  For example, the Companies are offering financing opportunities for the purchase of selected tracts of land.  The Companies are constructing Phase I and II of the Laurelwoods Community of single family and multi-family homes and are moving forward with plans to develop additional residential communities near Jack Frost and Big Boulder ski areas.  This is part of a comprehensive plan for the Companies “core land” development in and around the two ski areas.

The Companies also generate revenue by the selective timbering of the Companies land.  The selection of parcels is based upon the Companies current real estate development activities.

The Jack Frost National Golf Course opened the first nine holes for resort play on April 20, 2007, followed by the remaining nine holes on May 18, 2007.  Construction of the temporary clubhouse has been completed and opened to guests on August 11, 2007.

The Companies are in various stages of approval for the community surrounding the golf course.  The community is expected to include approximately 1,100 homes and will be comprised of approximately 40% single family homes and 60% multi-family units, as well as golf club amenities and the necessary infrastructure.

The Companies also expect that certain subdivisions may be sold outright in phases to nationally-recognized land developers in order to facilitate the market for housing and to reduce the inherent risk associated with land development.

The Companies currently operate two real estate sales offices: Jack Frost-Big Boulder Real Estate and Stoney Run Realty.  Jack Frost-Big Boulder Real Estate is located in Lake Harmony, Pennsylvania and markets new and previously owned homes in and around the Companies resort communities primarily to buyers seeking a second home.  The Stoney Run Realty office located in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania offers custom-built, single family homes in the Pocono region.  These homes primarily attract customers from nearby metropolitan areas in Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey.  All of these custom-built homes are built by the Companies’ construction division, Moseywood Construction Company.



- 12 -



Due to a recent trend in rising home mortgage interest rates, the Companies continue to monitor the progress of residential home sales and are moving ahead cautiously with their real estate operations.

As a result of the Companies continued focus on real estate activities, at October 31, 2006 management changed the presentation of the Companies’ balance sheet to an unclassified presentation using the alternate format in order to reflect the Companies’ assets and liabilities in order of their importance.

Recent Developments

On June 15, 2007, the Companies entered into an agreement with M & T Bank to increase their existing $10 million construction line of credit to $25 million.  The line of credit has three sub-limits of $12.9 million for site development, $6 million for construction and $6.1 million for water and sewer improvements. The line of credit is cross-collateralized by the Companies’ real estate assets.

On June 15, 2007, the Companies also entered into an agreement with M & T Bank to increase their existing $1 million real estate line of credit to $5 million.  This line of credit is used to fund IRS section 1031 tax deferred exchanges.

On June 15, 2007, the Companies entered into an agreement to sell commercial property located at the northwest corner of Route 940 and Route 115 in Blakeslee, Monroe County, Pennsylvania for $750,000.  This transaction is expected to close in September 2007.

The Companies are in the process of expanding the Jack Frost wastewater treatment facility.  The initial planned expansion, which included the replacement of an existing lagoon with in-ground storage tanks, was to upgrade the plant’s capacity from the present 100,000 gallons per day to 400,000 gallons per day. The estimated cost for this improvement is $2.2 million.  Upon completion of the expansion, the Jack Frost wastewater treatment facility will be capable of servicing an additional 1200 to 1500 homes in the planned residential communities at Jack Frost Mountain.  This project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2007.

Infrastructure improvements for Boulder Lake Village condominium development are expected to be completed in the fall of 2007.  On July 6, 2007, construction began on the Boulder Lake Village Condominium building J. This condominium building consists of 18 units.  The anticipated completion date is July 2008.

Bids to install a water system and related infrastructure improvements to service Boulder Lake Village, and future development sites surrounding Big Boulder Lake, have been received and are being reviewed by management.  This project will encompass the installation of a water tower together with improvements for sewer lines, roads and storm water management.  To date, no contract has been awarded.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

The Companies have identified the most critical accounting policies upon which the Companies’ financial status depends.  The critical policies and estimates were determined by considering accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments.  The most critical accounting policies identified relate to net deferred tax assets and liabilities, net investment in direct financing leases, the valuation of land development costs and long-lived assets, and revenue recognition.

Revenues are derived from a wide variety of sources, including sales of real estate, management of investment properties, home construction, property management services, timbering and leasing activities.  Revenues are recognized as services are performed.

Timbering revenues from stumpage contracts are recognized at the time a stumpage contract is signed in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulleting No. 104 – Revenue Recognition, (“SAB 104”). At the time a stumpage contract is signed, the risk of ownership is passed to the buyer at a fixed, determinable cost.  Reasonable assurance of collectibility is determined by the date of signing, and at that time, the obligations of the Companies’ are satisfied.  Therefore, full accrual recognition at the time of contract execution is appropriate under SAB 104 guidance.



- 13 -



The Companies recognize income on the disposition of real estate in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate" (SFAS No. 66) using the full accrual method.  The full accrual method is appropriate at closing when the sales contract has been signed, the buyer has arranged permanent financing and the risks and rewards associated with ownership have been transferred to the buyer.  In the few instances that the Companies finance the sale, more than 20% down payment is required.  The remaining financed purchase price is not subject to subordination.  Down payments of less than 20% are accounted for as deposits as required by SFAS No. 66.

The costs of developing land for resale as resort homes and the costs of constructing certain related amenities are allocated to the specific parcels to which the costs relate. Such costs, as well as the costs of construction of the resort homes, are charged to operations as sales occur. Land held for resale and resort homes under construction are stated at lower of cost or market.

The Companies recognize revenue on custom home construction in accordance with SFAS No. 66.  Under the provisions of SFAS No. 66, revenues and costs are recognized using the percentage of completion method of accounting when construction is beyond the preliminary stage, the buyer is committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for non-delivery, the sales proceeds are collectible and the aggregate sales proceeds and the total cost of the project can be reasonably estimated.  Total estimated revenues and construction costs are reviewed periodically, and any change is applied prospectively.

Management’s estimate of deferred tax assets and liabilities is primarily based on the difference between the tax basis and financial reporting basis of depreciable assets and the net investment in direct financing leases, like-kind exchanges of assets, stock options and accruals.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary to reduce tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Companies have capitalized as the net investment in direct financing leases, that portion of the leased premises pertaining to Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder ski areas, which met the criteria for accounting for a portion of the lease transactions as direct financing leases.  The accounting was based on estimates and assumptions about the fair values and estimated useful lives of the leased properties, as well as, the collectibility of lease payments and recoverability of the unguaranteed residual value of the leased properties.  The Companies will periodically review the net investment in direct financing leases for events or changes in circumstances that may impact collectibility, and recoverability of the unguaranteed residual value of leased properties.

The Companies capitalize as land and land development costs, the original acquisition cost, direct construction and development costs, property taxes, interest incurred on costs related to land under development and other related costs (engineering, surveying, landscaping, etc.) until the property reaches its intended use.  The cost of sales for individual parcels of real estate or condominium units within a project is determined using the relative sales value method.  Revenue is recognized upon signing the closing documents.  At closing a binding contract is in effect, the buyer has arranged for permanent financing and the Companies are assured of payment in full.  Also at this time, the risks and rewards associated with ownership have been transferred to the buyer.  Selling expenses are charged against income in the period incurred.

Long-lived assets, namely properties, are based on historical cost. Depreciation and amortization is provided principally using the straight-line half-year method over the estimated useful life of the class of property. Upon sale or retirement of depreciable property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the related accounts, and resulting gains or losses are reflected in income.

Interest, real estate taxes, and insurance costs, including those costs associated with holding unimproved land, are normally charged to expense as incurred. Interest cost incurred during construction of facilities is capitalized as part of the cost of such facilities. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense, and major renewals and betterments are added to property accounts.

Impairment losses are recognized in operating income, as they are determined. The Companies review long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset



- 14 -



may not be recoverable. In that event, the Companies calculate the expected future net cash flows to be generated by the asset. If those net future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized in operating income. The impairment loss is the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset.

Deferred income consists of dues, rents and deposits on land or home sales. Rents that are not yet earned are related to our commercial properties that have been paid in advance, and dues are related to memberships in our hunting and fishing clubs and golf course memberships paid in advance. We recognize revenue related to the hunting and fishing clubs and golf course memberships over the one-year period that the dues cover.  We recognize revenue related to the fishing club over a 5 month period, May through September.  Deposits are required on land and home sales.

The Companies have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

The increase was mainly attributable to the expenses associated with new home construction costs.  For the nine months ended July 31, 2007, construction costs, as well as operating costs on newly acquired commercial properties, were $3,882,165 compared to $2,445,199 for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 for an increase of $1,436,966. These increases were offset by a decrease in operating costs associated with the rental management program which was leased to a third party operator in November 2006.

Summer Recreation Operations

Operating costs associated with summer recreation operations were $578,923 for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 as compared to $146,117 for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 for an increase of $432,806.  This was due to operating expenses of the Jack Frost National Golf Course which began operations in April 2007.  The summer operating costs of $146,117 for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 related to operating the Lake Mountain Club at our residential communities. For Fiscal 2007, that operation has been leased to a third party operator.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest and Other income was $264,171 for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 compared to interest and other income of ($3,902) for the nine months ended July 31, 2006.  This increase is attributable to recognition of interest income on the direct financing leases.

Interest expense for the first nine months of Fiscal 2007 was $764,722 compared to $441,728 for the nine months ended July 31, 2006, which represents an increase of $322,994, or 73 %.  This increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of mortgages on two Walgreen retail stores which were acquired in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2006.  The interest expense on the Walgreen retail properties for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 was $316,855 as compared to $0 for the nine months ended July 31, 2006.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 for the Oxbridge Square Shopping Center, which was sold in June of 2006, was $86,618, compared to $5,635,346 for the nine months ended July 31, 2006.  Included in the net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 was a $5,236,478 gain on disposition.

Due to management’s decision to enter into lease agreements in which the Companies have leased the Jack Frost and Big Boulder Ski Areas to a third party operator, the results of operations of the Ski Operations segment for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2007 and July 31, 2006 was reported as discontinued operations.  Future cash flows and operating results of the Ski Operations segment will no longer be reported.  Operations resulting from the leases for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 are reported in the Real Estate Management / Rental Operations segment.  The net loss from discontinued ski operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 of $279,938 was mainly depreciation and stock option compensation cost.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate was 40% for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2007 and was 39% for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources  

The Combined Condensed Statement of Cash Flows reflects net cash used in operating activities of ($2,176,957) for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 compared to ($7,665,723) for the nine months ended July 31, 2006. The change in net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 compared to nine months ended July 31, 2006 is the result of less money spent on land and land development costs.

For the nine months ended July 31, 2007, our major capital expenditures were for construction costs associated with the single family residential units on Laurelwoods’ Longview Drive, the two duplex residential units on Laurelwoods’ Woodsbluff Court, the Building J condominium unit at Boulder Lake Village, in the residential communities at Big Boulder Ski Area, the construction of the Jack Frost National Golf Course and the subdivision and permitting cost relating to the Boulder Lake Village 144 unit condominium community.

On December 11, 2006 we entered into a mortgage and security agreement and a $3,000,000 promissory note with State Farm F.S.B. (“State Farm”). The note is secured by the mortgage, which encumbers certain real property purchased on August 18, 2006, known as the Walgreens Store located in Dover Township, Ocean County, New Jersey.  Interest only is due until the maturity date of January 1, 2009.  The interest rate is calculated as LIBOR rate plus nine tenths of a percent (.90%) which rate equaled 6.22% at July 31, 2007.

On December 15, 2006 we entered into a mortgage and security agreement and a $4,000,000 promissory note with State Farm. The note is secured by the mortgage, which encumbers certain real property purchased on October 31, 2006, known as the Walgreens Store located in White Bear Lake, Washington County, Minnesota.  The agreement states interest only is due until the maturity date of January 1, 2009.  The interest rate is calculated as LIBOR rate plus nine tenths of a percent (.90%) which rate equaled 6.22% at July 31, 2007.

On June 15, 2007 we entered into a mortgage modification loan agreement and a $25,000,000 line of credit mortgage note with M and T Bank.  Under the terms of the modification agreement the Bank has increased the line of credit by an aggregate amount of $15,000,000 to a maximum of $25,000,000.  Interest is due and payable on a monthly basis at a rate equal to LIBOR (as announced by the Wall Street Journal as of the first day of the calendar month), plus 250 basis points, which equaled 7.82% at July 31, 2007.  The $6 million sub-limit is available to fund construction of residential development projects.  At July 31, 2007, $1,062,555 was



- 17 -



outstanding on this line and $1,036,000 has been paid down via the sale of 6 single family homes in the first nine months of Fiscal 2007.  The $12.9 million sub-limit of this line of credit is used to fund site development improvements for residential developments. At July 31, 2007, $6,099,670 was outstanding on this line. As units in the residential developments are sold $70,000 per unit is paid on the site development sub-limit.  The $6.1 million sub-limit is used to fund the expansion of the water and sewer systems at both the Big Boulder and Jack Frost Mountain communities in order to accommodate the new construction.  At July 31, 2007, $883,500 was outstanding on this sub-limit.  The term on this sub-limit is two years interest only after which time the Companies plan to seek a term mortgage note.  The total principal amount outstanding under the line of credit will not at any time exceed the lesser of (a) $25 million, or (b) 80% of the cost or appraised value of the units.  The line of credit mortgage note has a maturity date of April 19, 2010.  Any unpaid amounts will be due and payable at that time.

In addition, we entered into a new $5,000,000 mortgage agreement (each a “Real Estate Mortgage”, and collectively, the “Real Estate Mortgages”) with the Bank on June 15, 2007.  The new Real Estate Line of Credit increases the maximum principal available from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000.  The rate of interest is one half of one percentage point (0.50%) less than the prime rate which was 7.75% at July 31, 2007.  There was no principal outstanding on the Real Estate Line of Credit as of July 31, 2007.

No change was made to the existing $3.1 million line of credit for general operations.  During the nine months ended July 31, 2007, we borrowed against the line of credit in varying amounts with a maximum amount of $2,945,417.  At July 31, 2007, $2,581,387 is outstanding on the $3.1 million line and the rate of interest is one percentage point less than prime which was 7.25% at July 31, 2007.

Purchase obligations are comprised of contracts relative to the Jack Frost sewer treatment plant upgrade ($463,267) and the Boulder Lake Village infrastructure ($537,921).

We currently anticipate that the funds needed for future operations and for the implementation of our land development strategy will be satisfied through operating cash, borrowed funds, public offerings or private placements of debt or equity and reinvested profits from completed and sold units or lots. We expect that with respect to land development, future construction will be conducted in phases, with the profits from each phase used to fund additional future construction. Construction is being implemented in phases as to reduce market risk associated with changing economic conditions.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our exposure to market risk is limited primarily to the fluctuating interest rates associated with variable rate indebtedness.  At July 31, 2007 our variable rate indebtedness represented 67% of our total debt outstanding.  Our average interest rate is based on our various credit facilities and our market risk exposure

fluctuates based on changes in underlying interest rates.  We do not believe that the interest rate risk associated with our variable rate debt could have a material impact on the combined condensed financial statements.  The fixed and variable debt is detailed as follows:

Exposure to market risk may also exist in our mortgages receivable issued in connection with land sales.  Mortgages receivable are considered fully collectible by management and accordingly, no allowance for loan losses is considered necessary.

Item 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Management, with the participation of the Companies’ chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Companies’ disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Companies’ chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Companies’ disclosure controls and procedures for as of the end of the period covered by this report have been designed and are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and is accumulated and communicated to the Companies’ management, including the Companies’ principal executive and principal financial officers, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Companies believe that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

(b)  Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

No change in the Companies' internal control over financial reporting occurred during the Companies’ most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
