PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Blue Ridge Real Estate Company

Blue Ridge Real Estate Company, or Blue Ridge, was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1911 and is believed to be one of the largest owners of investment property in Northeastern Pennsylvania.  It owns 15,962 acres of land that are predominately located in the Pocono Mountains.  Of this acreage, 10,973 acres are held for investment, 4,585 are held for development and 404 acres are held for recreation.  Income is derived from these lands through leases, selective timbering by third parties, sales, and other dispositions. Included in the properties owned by Blue Ridge are: a commercial property comprised of 2.9 acres of vacant land; a shopping center; three residential investment properties; the Jack Frost National Golf Course; and the Jack Frost Mountain Ski Area, which is currently leased to JFBB Ski Areas, Inc., an affiliat e of Peak Resorts.  Blue Ridge also owns four retail stores, one of which is leased to Wal-Mart, two of which are leased to Walgreen Company, and one of which is leased to Jack in the Box.  All of these investment properties are more fully described under Item 2 below.

Table of Contents

2005. On December 1, 2005, Blue Ridge entered into a 28-year lease with JFBB Ski Areas Inc., an unrelated party and an affiliate of Peak Resorts, for the lease of the Jack Frost Mountain Ski Area.  Pursuant to the terms of this lease, JFBB Ski Areas Inc. operates the Jack Frost Mountain Ski Area and makes monthly lease payments to Blue Ridge during the ski season (January to April).  Leasing the ski facilities to JFBB Ski Areas Inc., as opposed to continuing to operate it through one of our subsidiaries, has allowed us to focus additional resources on real estate development at our current and proposed resort communities.  Revenue generated by this lease is included in the Real Estate Management/Rental Operations business segment.

Northeast Land Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Ridge, was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1967. The primary asset of this subsidiary is 93 acres of land in Northeast Pennsylvania.  Revenue for Northeast Land Company is derived from real estate commissions on the sale of homes at these resort communities, trust and condominium fees for services to these resort communities and property leases.  Effective October 1, 2006, Mountain Resort Villas, an unrelated party and an affiliate of Appletree Management Group, Inc. purchased certain property management and rental management contracts from Northeast Land Company.  Mountain Resort Villas currently leases certain buildings from the Companies for use in the operation and maintenance of Northeast Land Company’s former rental program.

BRRE Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Ridge, was incorporated in Delaware in 1986.  It was established for investment purposes.

Moseywood Construction Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Ridge, was incorporated in Pennsylvania in May 2003 and commenced operations in November 2003.  It was primarily focused on facilitating land development and expanding our real estate sales division.  Due to the downturn in the housing market, in July 2008 we stopped accepting new construction contracts for the Stoney Run Builders and Stoney Run Realty custom home division and closed the office located in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.  Signed contracts for custom built homes are being completed.

Oxbridge Square Shopping Center, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Ridge, was organized in Virginia in May 2004.  Oxbridge Square Shopping Center, LLC was dissolved in September 2006 after the sale of the Oxbridge Square Shopping Center in June 2006.  Oxbridge Square Shopping Center, LLC had no employees and was managed by Kimco Realty Corporation.

Big Boulder’s primary asset is 865 acres of land, which includes a 175-acre lake, the Big Boulder Ski Area, and the Boulder View Tavern (formerly known as the Mountain’s Edge Restaurant). Of the 865 acres, 369 acres are held for investment, 386 acres are held for development and 110 acres are held for recreation. The principal source of revenue for Big Boulder is derived from the sale of residential homes and real estate in close proximity to the Big Boulder Ski Area.  The Big Boulder Ski Area is currently leased to JFBB Ski Areas, Inc.

Lake Mountain Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Big Boulder, was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1983 and commenced operations on June 1, 1983.  It was created to lease and operate the Big Boulder Ski Area and operate the recreational facilities that are located within the Big Boulder Lake tract. The lease between Big Boulder and Lake Mountain Company for the Big Boulder Ski Area was terminated on November 30, 2005. On December 1, 2005, Big Boulder also entered into a 28-year lease with JFBB Ski Areas Inc. for the lease of the Big Boulder Ski Area.  Pursuant to the terms of the lease, JFBB Ski Areas Inc. operates the Big Boulder Ski Area and makes monthly lease payments to Big Boulder during the ski season (January to April).  Leasing the ski facilities to JFBB Ski Areas Inc., as opposed to continuing to operate it through one of our subsidiaries, has allowed us to focus additional resourc es on real estate development at our current and proposed resort communities.  Revenue generated by this lease is included in the Real Estate Management/Rental Operations business segment.

Strategy

Since the early 1980’s, we have developed five residential communities in close proximity to our Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder Ski Area resorts.  Our resorts are located in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, an area which offers year-round regional tourist appeal and a quiet, relaxing vacation environment.

We own 16,933 acres of land of which 16,920 acres are located in Northeastern Pennsylvania.  Of our core land holdings, we have designated 4,971 acres as held for development.  It is expected that all of the planned developments will be subdivided and sold as parcels of land, while others will be developed into single and multi-family housing.

We believe the real estate market in the Pocono Mountains continues to offer an attractive investment alternative for buyers seeking a second home in a resort community.  We believe that this is partially attributable to current moderate mortgage interest rates and a challenging economy that may be facilitating more regional tourist destinations.

We operate Jack Frost-Big Boulder Real Estate which is located in Lake Harmony, Pennsylvania and which markets new and previously owned homes in and around the Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder Ski Areas, primarily to buyers seeking a second home.

We maximize the value of our land holdings through recreational land leases for hunting and fishing.  We are entertaining negotiations on the sale of bulk land tracts.  We are working with the local municipalities to re-zone certain land tracts to enhance possibilities for future potential use. We have also begun to evaluate various land parcels for possible future energy exploration.

Business Segments

We currently operate in three business segments, which consist of the Real Estate Management/Rental Operations, Summer Recreational Operations and Land Resource Management segments. Beginning in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005, or Fiscal 2005, we began reporting ski operation activity as a discontinued operation.  Our business segments were determined from our internal organization and management reporting, which are based primarily on differences in services.  Financial information about our segments can be found in Note 15 to our audited financial statements.

Real Estate Management/Rental Operations

Real Estate Management/Rental Operations consists of: investment properties leased to others located in Eastern Pennsylvania, South Carolina, New Jersey, Minnesota, Louisiana and Texas; a custom home construction division; recreational club activities; services to the trusts that operate resort residential communities; sales of investment properties; and rental of land, which includes the leasing of the Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder Ski Areas.

Summer Recreation Operations

Summer Recreation Operations consists of the Jack Frost National Golf Course, which opened in the spring of 2007.  The Lake Mountain Club was previously reported as part of this

5

Table of Contents

business segment, but is now reported under Real Estate Management/Rental Operation as a result of this operation being leased to a third party operator in March 2007.

Land Resource Management

Land Resource Management consists of land sales, land purchases, timbering operations and a real estate development division.  Timbering operations consist of selective timbering on our land holdings.  Contracts are entered into for parcels which have had the timber selectively marked.  We rely on the advice of our forester, who is engaged on a consulting basis, for the timing and selection of certain parcels of land for timbering and we give significant attention to protecting the environment and retaining the value of these parcels for future timber harvests.  The real estate development division is responsible for the residential land development activities which include overseeing the construction of single and multi-family homes and development of infrastructure.

Funds expended to date for real estate development have been primarily related to infrastructure improvements in the Laurelwoods Community and Boulder Lake Village and the construction of 22 of 23 planned single family homes and eight of 44 planned duplex homes in the Laurelwoods Community.  We also substantially completed construction of an 18-unit condominium building at Boulder Lake Village on Big Boulder Lake in December 2008.  Other expenditures for development projects include fees for architects, engineers and consultants, studies and permits.

Competition

Our Real Estate Management/Rental Operations segment faces competition from similar retail centers that are near our retail properties with respect to the renewal of leases and re-letting of space as leases expire.  Any new competitive properties that are developed close to our existing properties may impact our ability to lease space to creditworthy tenants.  Increased competition for tenants may require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise planned to make, which could adversely affect our results of operations.  

Planned Real Estate Development

We are constructing Phase I and II of the Laurelwoods Community of single family and multi-family homes and a condominium building project at Boulder Lake Village on Big Boulder Lake.  Plans to develop additional residential communities near the Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder Ski Areas are in place in anticipation of an economic recovery.  This is part of a comprehensive plan relating to our “core land” development in and around these two ski areas.  We are very cautious, in the unpredictable housing market, not to commence any residential developments until the market stabilizes.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, or Fiscal 2009, we intend to continue selective sales of land, some of which may be treated as 1031 tax deferred exchanges under the Internal Revenue Code.  We are also taking various steps to attract new home and land sale customers.  For example, purchasers who want to purchase newly constructed single family homes in our Laurelwoods II community development and can make a down payment of at least 20%, have the option of financing their mortgage through Big Boulder Corporation with interest

Table of Contents

only payments for five years.  We are also offering to the purchasers of the Laurelwoods II single family and duplex townhomes $8,000 toward the payment of such purchaser’s closing costs (excluding any new construction), prepaid dues for a one year membership with the Lake Mountain Club and complimentary passes to the Jack Frost National Golf Course.  We are also offering to pay six months of homeowner’s association fees on behalf of any current homeowner in the Blue Heron, Midlake Condominium, Laurelwoods Community and Snow Ridge Village developments that provide a purchaser referral which results in the sale of a Laurelwoods II single family home.  We have also instituted discount price incentives for the 18 units to be sold in Building J of the Boulder Lake Village condominiums.  For the first six units sold, a 3% discount will apply, for the next six units sold, a 2% discount will apply, and for the final six units sold, a 1% discount will apply.We are also offering financing opportunities for the purchase of selected tracts of land.

We also continue to generate revenue through the selective timbering of our land.  We rely on the advice of our forester, who is engaged as a consultant, for the timing and selection of certain parcels of land for timbering and significant attention is given to protecting the environment and retaining the value of these parcels for future timber harvests.  Our forester is in the process of updating the inventory of our timber resources to aid in land valuations so that we will have more current valuation information before entering into future timber agreements.

Plans are in place for a community surrounding the Jack Frost National Golf Course.  The community is expected to be comprised of single family homes and multi-family units, as well as golf club amenities and the necessary infrastructure.

We also intend to advertise certain subdivisions for sale to recognized land developers in order to facilitate the market for housing and to reduce the inherent risk associated with any land development.

ITEM 9A(T).  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.  Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Blue Ridge’s independent auditors have not issued an attestation report on Management’s assessment of Blue Ridge’s internal control over financial reporting.

b)

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of

11

Table of Contents

financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2008 using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.  Based on this assessment, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of October 31, 2008.

It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  As a result, there can be no assurance that a control system will succeed in preventing all possible instances of error and fraud.  The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and the conclusions of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer are made at the “reasonable assurance” level.

(c)  Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

No change in the Companies' internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Since the early 1980s, we have developed five residential communities in close proximity to our Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder Ski Area resorts.  Our resorts are located in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, an area which offers year-round regional tourist appeal and a quiet, relaxing vacation environment.

We own 16,920 acres of land in Northeastern Pennsylvania along with 13 acres in other states.  Of these land holdings, we have designated 4,971 acres as held for development.  It is expected that all of our planned developments will be subdivided and sold as parcels of land, while others will be developed into single and multi-family housing.

We believe the real estate market in the Pocono Mountains continues to offer an attractive investment alternative for buyers seeking a second home in a resort community.  We believe this is partially attributable to current moderate mortgage interest rates and a challenging economy that may be facilitating more regional tourist destinations.

We are constructing Phase I and II of the Laurelwoods Community of single family and multi-family homes and a condominium project known as Boulder Lake Village.  Plans to develop residential communities near Jack Frost and Big Boulder ski resorts are in place in anticipation of an economic recovery.  This is part of a comprehensive plan for our “core land” development in and around our two ski areas.  We are very cautious, in the unpredictable housing market, not to commence any residential developments until the market stabilizes.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, or Fiscal 2009, we intend to continue selective sales of land, some of which may be treated as Section 1031 tax deferred exchanges under the Internal Revenue Code.  We are also taking various steps to attract new home and land sale customers.  For example, purchasers who want to purchase newly constructed single family homes in our Laurelwoods II community development and can make a down payment of at least 20%, have the option of financing their mortgage through Big Boulder Corporation with interest only payments for five years.  We are also offering to the purchasers of the Laurelwoods II single family and duplex townhomes $8,000 toward the payment of such purchaser’s closing costs (excluding new construction), prepaid dues for a one year membership with the Lake Mountain Club and complimentary passes to the Jack Frost Nationa l Golf Course.  We are also offering to pay six months of homeowner’s association fees on behalf of any current homeowner in the Blue Heron, Midlake Condominium, Laurelwoods Community and Snow Ridge Village developments that provide a purchaser referral which results in the sale of a Laurelwoods II single family home. We have instituted discount price incentives for the 18 units to be sold in Building J of the Boulder Lake Village condominiums.  For the first six units sold, a 3% discount will apply, for the next six units sold, a 2% discount will apply, and for the final six units sold, a 1% discount will apply.  We are also offering financing opportunities for the purchase of selected tracts of land.

We also continue to generate revenue through the selective timbering of our land.  We rely on the advice of our forester, who is engaged on a consulting basis, for the timing and selection of certain parcels for timbering whereby significant attention is given to protecting the environment and retaining the value of these parcels for future timber harvests.  Our forester is in the process of updating the inventory of our timber resources to aid in land valuations so that we will have more current valuation information before entering into future timber agreements.

The Jack Frost National Golf Course opened in the spring of 2007.  The golf course is managed by Billy Casper Golf, LLC, a nationally-recognized golf course management company.

Plans are in place for a community surrounding the Jack Frost National Golf Course.  This community is expected to be comprised of single family homes and multi-family units, as well as golf club amenities and the necessary infrastructure.

We also intend to advertise certain subdivisions for sale to recognized land developers in order to facilitate the market for housing and to reduce the inherent risk associated with any land development.

Table of Contents

We operate Jack Frost-Big Boulder Real Estate, which is located in Lake Harmony, Pennsylvania and which markets new and previously owned homes in and around the Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder Ski Areas, primarily to buyers seeking a second home.

As a result of the Companies’ focus on real estate activities, we present our balance sheet in an unclassified presentation using the alternate format in order to reflect our assets and liabilities in order of their importance.

Recent Developments

On September 30, 2008 the Companies sold a 46.6 acre parcel of land near the Francis E. Walter Reservoir road in Kidder Township, Carbon County for a sale price of $466,880.

On December 1, 2008 the Companies entered into a lease agreement with Boulder View Tavern, Inc. to lease the restaurant located near the entrance to Big Boulder Lake and Ski Area.  The term of the lease is five years with two five year renewal options.

The Companies have reviewed a study by Penn Environmental and Remediation, Inc. regarding the potential for natural gas resources on company-owned land.  Management is currently evaluating options and the market feasibility of natural gas.

During Fiscal 2008, construction progressed on Phase II of the Laurelwoods II community.  Phase II of the Laurelwoods II community has municipal approval for the construction of 44 duplex and 22 single units.  Construction on four of the duplex buildings, comprised of eight units, has been completed.  Three units have been sold and five are in inventory.

Infrastructure improvements for Boulder Lake Village are complete and municipal approval to construct 144 condominium units is in place.   Construction of “Building J” in Boulder Lake Village, which is comprised of 18 condominium units, has been substantially completed.  On December 29, 2008, the first unit was sold.  17 condominium units are in inventory.

Due to the recent decline in the housing market nationwide, the Companies continue to monitor the progress of residential home sales within the northeast region and are moving ahead cautiously with real estate operations.

The Companies continue to research income producing investment properties for potential acquisition.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

We have identified the most critical accounting policies upon which our 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 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, golf activities, timbering and leasing activities.  Revenues are recognized as services are performed, except as noted below.

Timbering revenues from stumpage contracts are recognized at the time a stumpage contract is signed in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 – Revenue Recognition, or 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.

We 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," or SFAS 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 from the buyers.  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 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.

We recognize revenue on custom home construction in accordance with SFAS 66.  Under the provisions of SFAS 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 and may only require a refund in the event of non-delivery, if the sales proceeds are collectible and if 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, net operating losses, stock options and accruals.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary to reduce tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

We have capitalized as the net investment in direct financing leases, the portion of the leased premises pertaining to Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder Ski Areas, which met the criteria for accounting for these 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.  We 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.

We 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 of 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 the time of closing, the risks and rewards associated with ownership have been transferred to the buyer.  Selling expenses are recorded when incurred.

Long-lived assets, namely properties, are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization is provided principally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Upon sale or retirement of the asset, 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.

We review long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.  In that event, we 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.  The impairment loss is recognized in the period incurred.

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 five month period, from May through September, and the golf course over a seven month period, April through October.  Deposits are required on land and home sales.

The Companies sponsor a defined benefit pension plan as detailed in footnote 9.  The accounting for pension benefits is determined by specialized accounting and actuarial methods using numerous estimates, including discount rates, expected long-term investment returns on plan assets, employee turnover, mortality and retirement ages, and future salary increases.  Changes in these key assumptions can have a significant effect on the pension plan’s impact on the Companies’ financial statements.  We engage the services of an independent actuary and investment consultant to assist us in determining these assumptions and in the calculation of pension income.  The plan is currently underfunded and accordingly the Companies have made contributions of $467,392 and $444,494 in fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The Companies expect to contribute $533,483 to the pen sion plan in fiscal 2009.  The Companies also have in place a 401K pension plan available to all full time employees which is totally funded by employee contributions.

Effective for the quarter ended January 31, 2006 and thereafter, the Companies adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”, in accounting for its employee stock options.  SFAS No. 123R requires the Companies to recognize as compensation expense an amount equal to the grant date fair value of the stock options issued over the required service period.  Compensation cost was measured using the modified prospective approach provided under SFAS No. 123R.

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.

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

   On September 16, 2008, the Companies entered into a Mortgage Modification Loan Agreement for the $25,000,000 line of credit mortgage note with M&T Bank.  Under the terms of the agreement, the $6,000,000 construction sub-limit was increased to $7,900,000 and the $12,900,000 site-development sub-limit was decreased to $11,000,000.  The total amount available on the line of credit remained the same at $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 2.5% which equaled 5.08% at October 31, 2008. The remaining principal and any accrued interest is due and payable on April 19, 2010.  The Companies are using $7,900,000 of this line of credit to fund construction of residential development projects.  At October 31, 2008, $6,056,980 was outstanding on this sub-limit and $425,920 has been paid down using the proceeds from the sale of three single family homes in Fiscal 2008.  A total of $11,000,000 of this line of credit is used to fund site development improvements for residential developments.  At October 31, 2008, $4,531,919 was outstanding on this sub-limit and $420,000 has been paid down using the proceeds of the sale of three single family homes and a one-time payment of $210,000 which was based upon single-family home sales in Fiscal 2007.  The remaining $6,100,000 of this line of credit is used to fund the expansion of the water and sewer systems at both Big Boulder and Jack Frost Mountain Ski Areas in order to accommodate the new construction.  At October 31, 2008, $2,461,510 was outstanding on the $6,100,000 sub-limit.  The term on this sub-limit is two years with interest only payments due until the maturity date after which time the Companies plan to seek a term mortgage note. The total principal amount outstanding under the line of credit will not exceed the lesser of (a) $25,000,000, or (b) 80% of the cost or appraised value of the units.

   There were no borrowings against the $5,000,000 line of credit in Fiscal 2008.  The rate of interest is equal to one half of one percentage point (0.50%) less than the prime rate, which equaled 3.5% at October 31, 2008.

   No change was made to the $3,100,000 million general operations line of credit with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company. During Fiscal 2008 and 2007, we borrowed against the $3,100,000 line of credit in varying amounts with maximum amounts of $3,096,931 and $3,038,475 respectively.  The rate of interest is one percentage point less than the prime rate, which was equal to 3.00% at October 31, 2008.

   For Fiscal 2008, our major capital expenditures were for the construction of Building J in the Boulder Lake Village 144 unit condominium community at Big Boulder and construction of four duplex units in the Woodsbluff section of the Laurelwoods II subdivision at Big Boulder.

   Purchase obligations total $3,040,899 and consist of material contracts with multiple contractors all relating to real estate development.  Payments and adjustments made through October 31, 2008 total $2,195,108.

   We currently anticipate that the funds needed for future operations and to implement 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

   In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” or SFAS No. 157.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.  Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for our companies beginning November 1, 2008.  However, FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for non-financial assets and liabilities, except for those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring bas is.  The Companies do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on the combined financial statements.

   In September 2006, the EITF issued EITF Issue No. 06-8, Applicability of the Assessment of a Buyer’s Continuing Investment under FAS No. 66 for the Sale of Condominiums, or EITF 06-8.  EITF 06-8 states that in assessing the collectibility of the sales price pursuant to paragraph 37(d) of FAS 66, an entity should evaluate the adequacy of the buyer’s initial and continuing investment to conclude that the sales price is collectible.  If an entity is unable to meet the criteria of paragraph 37, including an assessment of collectibility using the initial and continuing investment tests described in paragraphs 8-12 of FAS 66, then the entity should apply the deposit method as described in paragraphs 65-67 of FAS 66. EITF 06-8 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2008.  The Companies are in the process of assessing the impact of EITF 06-8 on its combined financial statements, but believes that it will not have a material impact on the combined financial statements.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Combination:

   The combined financial statements include the accounts of Blue Ridge Real Estate Company (Blue Ridge) 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., Coursey Commons Shopping Center, LLC, Coursey Creek, LLC, Cobble Creek, LLC and Flower Fields Motel, LLC and Big Boulder Corporation (Big Boulder) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Lake Mountain Company and BBC Holdings, Inc., collectively (the “Companies”).  Under a Security Combination Agreement between Blue Ridge and Big Boulder and under the by-laws of both Companies, shares of the Companies are combined in unit certificates, each certificate representing concurrent ownership of the same number of shares of each company; shares of eac h company may be transferred only together with an equal number of shares of the other company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

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, golf activities, timbering and leasing activities. Generally, revenues are recognized as services are performed, except as noted below.

Timbering Revenues:

   Timbering revenues from stumpage contracts are recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 - Revenue Recognition, ("SAB 104").  At the time a stumpage contract is signed, the risk of ownership has been passed to the buyer at a fixed, determinable cost.  Reasonable assurance of collectibility has been determined by the date of signing, and the few obligations of the Companies have already been met.  Therefore, full accrual recognition at the time of contract execution is appropriate under SAB 104 guidance.

Disposition of Land and Resort Homes:

   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 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.

Custom Home Construction:

   The Companies recognize revenue on custom home construction in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (“SFAS 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 the effects of revisions are reflected in the combined financial statements in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Table of Contents

Land and Land Development Costs:

   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 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 recorded when incurred.

Accounts and Mortgages Receivable:

   Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value.  Accounts are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible based upon management’s assessment of individual accounts.  An allowance for doubtful accounts, if deemed necessary, is estimated based upon a review of individual accounts.  The allowance amount was $0 at October 31, 2008 and 2007.

   The Companies account for mortgages receivable on a cost basis.  Interest income is recorded on a monthly basis.  Late payment fees are charged on overdue payments.  Mortgages receivable are evaluated at origination and monitored on an ongoing basis for credit worthiness.  Mortgages receivable are considered fully collectible by management and accordingly no allowance for losses is considered necessary.  Any mortgage 90 days past due is reviewed by management for collectibility.  Mortgages receivables were $226,570 and $250,864 at October 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Land Improvements, Buildings, Equipment and Depreciation:

   Land improvements, buildings and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation, including amortization of equipment under capital lease is provided principally using the straight-line method over the following years:

Land improvements

 10-30

Buildings and improvements

   3-40

Equipment and furnishings

   3-20

   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 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.

   The Companies review their long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset 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.  The impairment loss is recognized in the period incurred.

Deferred Income:

   Deferred income consists of dues, rents and deposits on land or home sales. Rents that are not yet earned relate to the Companies’ commercial properties that have been paid in advance, and dues are related to memberships in the Companies’ hunting and fishing clubs and golf club memberships paid in advance. The Companies recognize revenue related to the hunting and fishing clubs and golf course memberships over the period that the dues cover.  The Companies’ recognize revenue related to the fishing club over a five month period, May through September, and the golf course over a seven month period, April through October.  Deposits are required on land and home sales.

   Also included in deferred income is a reimbursement from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for the cost of a sewer line.  Income will be recognized over the depreciation period.  This sewer line has not yet been placed in service.

Comprehensive Income:

   For the year ended October 31, 2008, or Fiscal 2008, the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, or Fiscal 2007, and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, or Fiscal 2006, the Companies’ comprehensive income differs from net income due to changes in the funded status of the Companies’ defined benefit pension plan (see Note 9).  The Companies have elected to disclose comprehensive income in its Combined Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity.

Income Taxes:

   The Companies account for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method of recognizing the tax consequence of transactions that have been recognized for financial reporting or income tax purposes.  Among other things, this method requires current recognition of the effect of changes in statutory tax rates on previously provided deferred taxes.  For federal income tax purposes, Blue Ridge, and its subsidiaries, and Big Boulder, and its subsidiaries, each file as consolidated entities. State income taxes are reported on a separate company basis. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary to reduce tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

   The Companies adopted FASB Interpretation No.48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) as of the quarter ended January 31, 2008. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, by defining a criterion that an individual tax position must meet for any part of the position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The interpretation requires a review of all tax positions accounted for in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109 and applies a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 p ercent likely of being realized upon the ultimate settlement with the taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. As of November 1, 2007, the adoption of FIN 48 has had no impact on the Companies’ combined financial statements.

Investment in Direct Financing Leases:

   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 these 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.  Management periodically reviews 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.

Advertising Costs:

  Advertising costs are primarily related to new home construction, real estate development and golf course operation.  Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and the advertising expense for Fiscal 2008, 2007 and Fiscal 2006 was $312,758, $413,604, and $379,927 respectively.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions:

  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.  Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the combined financial statements in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Statement of Cash Flows:

   For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Companies consider cash equivalents to be all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when acquired.

Concentration of Credit Risk:

   Financial instruments which potentially subject the Companies to concentration of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments. The Companies’ temporary cash investments are held by financial institutions. The Companies have not experienced any losses related to these investments.

Earnings Per Share:

   Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options.

Business Segments:

   The Companies currently operate in three business segments, which consist of Real Estate Management/Rental Operations, Summer Recreational Operations and Land Resource Management segments.  The Companies previously operated in four business segments, the fourth being Ski Operation.  However, on December 1, 2005, the Companies entered into a 28 year lease for the Jack Frost Mountain Ski Area and Big Boulder Ski Area with JFBB Ski Areas Inc., an affiliate of Peak Resorts, both unaffiliated parties.  Pursuant to the lease, JFBB Ski Areas will operate the ski areas and will make monthly lease payments during the ski season.  This resulted in the termination of the Ski Operations business segment, reducing the number of business segments from four to three.  Financial information about our segments can be found in Note 15.

Stock Compensation:

   Effective for the quarter ended January 31, 2006 and thereafter, the Companies adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”, in accounting for its employee stock options.  SFAS No. 123R requires the Companies to recognize as compensation expense an amount equal to the grant date fair value of the stock options issued over the required service period.  Compensation cost was measured using the modified prospective approach provided under SFAS No. 123R.

   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.

Reclassification:

   Certain amounts in the Fiscal 2007 and Fiscal 2006 combined financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the Fiscal 2008 presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

   In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”).  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.  Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for our companies beginning November 1, 2008.  However, FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for non-financial assets and liabilities, except for those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a re curring basis.  The Companies do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on the combined financial statements.

   In September 2006, the EITF issued EITF Issue No. 06-8, Applicability of the Assessment of a Buyer’s Continuing Investment under FAS No. 66 for the Sale of Condominiums (“EITF 06-8”). EITF 06-8 states that in assessing the collectibility of the sales price pursuant to paragraph 37(d) of FAS 66, an entity should evaluate the adequacy of the buyer’s initial and continuing investment to conclude that the sales price is collectible. If an entity is unable to meet the criteria of paragraph 37, including an assessment of collectibility using the initial and continuing investment tests described in paragraphs 8-12 of FAS 66, then the entity should apply the deposit method as described in paragraphs 65-67 of FAS 66. EITF 06-8 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2008.  The Companies are in the process of assessing the impact of EITF 06-8 on i ts combined financial statements, but believes that it will not have a material impact on the combined financial statements.

2.  CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE:

   In 2007, the Companies adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158 (SFAS 158), “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.”  SFAS 158 requires, among other things, that an employer recognize the funded status of a defined benefit pension plan in its balance sheet. The funded status is measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation. SFAS 158 also requires the measurement of plan assets and obligations as of the employers’ fiscal year end, for which the Companies already comply.

   The Companies implemented the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS 158 as of October 31, 2007. The incremental effects of adopting SFAS 158 on individual line items in the consolidated balance sheet were to increase accrued pension expense by $498,759, to decrease deferred tax liabilities by $209,176, and to increase accumulated other comprehensive loss and decrease total stockholders’ equity by $289,583 as of October 31, 2007.

3.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

   On June 16, 2006, the Oxbridge Square shopping center was sold as a Section 1031 tax deferred exchange and as a result the operating activity for Fiscal 2007 and Fiscal 2006 is being reported as a discontinued operation.  The operating results of the Oxbridge Square shopping center were previously reported in the Rental Income segment of the combined statement of operations.  At October 31, 2007, there were no remaining assets or liabilities related to the Oxbridge Square shopping center.

   On December 1, 2005, the Companies entered into a long term lease agreement with JFBB Ski Areas, Inc., an affiliate of Peak Resorts (the “Lessee”), an unrelated third party, whereby the Lessee will operate and maintain the two ski resorts.  As a result, the Companies have reported the activity for the year ending October 31, 2006 as a discontinued operation.

5.  LAND AND LAND DEVELOPMENT COSTS:

   Land and land development costs consists of the following:

	10/31/2008	10/31/2007
Land unimproved designated for development	$461,186	$596,931
Golf course development	0	387,402
Residential development	10,027,041	5,755,379
Infrastructure development	13,464,490	13,060,110
	$23,952,717	$19,799,822

The decrease in Land unimproved designated for development was due to the sale of two lots.  

The decrease in golf course development was the result of the reclassification of costs to land improvements and equipment upon completion of the installation of landscaping and an irrigation system at the Jack Frost National Golf Course.  

The increase in residential development was primarily due to construction costs associated with the Woodsbluff Court duplex units ($1,025,000) located in the Laurelwoods II residential community and with the Boulder Lake Village condominium project ($3,825,000) located on Big Boulder Lake.  This increase was partially offset by the sale of 2 single-family units on Longview Drive in the Laurelwoods II residential community ($570,000).

The increase in Infrastructure development is due to a number of on-going projects, most notably the subdivision at Jack Frost National Golf Course ($260,000); the Lake Shore development at Big Boulder ($240,000); and Phase II of the River Road development ($105,000).  This increase was offset by the completion of a number of site improvements at projects that are now in the residential development phase, mainly the FE Walter Dam project ($110,000) and the Jack Frost Mountain sewer upgrade ($115,000).

6.  LAND:

	10/31/2008	10/31/2007

15.  BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION:

   The following information is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (“SFAS No. 131”).  In accordance with SFAS No. 131, the Companies' business segments were determined from the Companies' internal organization and management reporting, which are based primarily on differences in services.  

   The Companies and the subsidiaries, under SFAS No. 131, previously operated in four business segments, currently operate three business segments (Ski Operations was combined into Real Estate Management/Rental Operations) consisting of the following:

   Real Estate Management/Rental Operations

   Real Estate Management/Rental Operations consists of: investment properties leased to others located in Eastern Pennsylvania, South Carolina, New Jersey, Minnesota, Louisiana and Texas; a custom home construction division; recreational club activities and services to the trusts that operate resort communities; sales of investment properties; and rental of land and land improvements, which includes the leasing of our two ski areas located in the Pocono Mountains of Northeastern Pennsylvania.

   Summer Recreation Operations

   Summer Recreation Operations consists of the Jack Frost National Golf Course located in the Pocono Mountains of Northeastern Pennsylvania, which opened in spring 2007.  The Lake Mountain Club was previously reported as part of this business segment, however, as a result of this operation being leased to a third party operator in Fiscal 2007, it is now reported under Real Estate Management/Rental Operations.

   Land Resource Management

   Land Resource Management consists of land sales, land purchases, timbering operations and a real estate development division.  Timbering operations consist of selective timbering on our land holdings.  Contracts are entered into for parcels that have had the timber selectively marked.  The real estate development division is responsible for the residential land development activities which include overseeing the construction of single and multi-family homes and development of infrastructure.

   Funds expended to date for real estate development have been primarily for home construction in Laurelwoods II and Boulder Lake Village.  Construction of 4 new duplex homes in Laurelwoods II were recently completed and as well as the Building J at Boulder Lake Village on Big Boulder Lake, an 18-unit condominium.  Other expenditures for all development projects in the planning phases include fees for architects, engineers and consultants, studies and permits.

19.  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 Fiscal 2008, 2007 and 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 Fiscal 2008 and 2007 due to the exercise price of the options being greater than the market price of the Companies’ common stock.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To Shareholders of
Blue Ridge Real Estate Company
and Big Boulder Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Blue Ridge Real Estate Company and subsidiaries and Big Boulder Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Companies”) as of October 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related combined statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies’ management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall combined financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Blue Ridge Real Estate Company and subsidiaries and Big Boulder Corporation and subsidiaries as of October 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As disclosed in Note 2 to the combined financial statements, the Companies adopted the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158 (SFAS 158), Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans, in 2007.
