NOTES TO UNAUDITED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Combination

The accompanying unaudited combined 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., Coursey Commons Shopping Center, LLC, Coursey Creek, LLC, Cobble Creek, LLC, Flower Fields Motel, LLC, Blue Ridge WNJ, LLC and Blue Ridge WMN, LLC) (collectively “Blue Ridge”) and Big Boulder Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Lake Mountain Company and BBC Holdings, Inc.) (collectively “Big Boulder” and, together with Blue Ridge, the “Companies”).

The combined balance sheet as of October 31, 2010, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the combined financial statements as of and for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, which are unaudited, are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Companies’ 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying combined 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 continued or further 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 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 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 were no significant changes in the Companies’ critical accounting policies or estimates since the Companies’ fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 (“Fiscal 2010”). Material subsequent events are evaluated and disclosed through the issuance date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10Q.

Cash held in escrow consists of deposits held by the Companies for interest payments on lines of credit, golf course memberships and real estate transactions and other funds placed into escrow with a third party intermediary for the purpose of a tax deferred exchange under section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”).

Reclassification:

In the second quarter of 2010, results of operations for the golf course were reclassified to the Land Resource Management segment from the Summer Recreation Operations segment. The reclassification was based on management’s determination to market the golf course and the planned residential development surrounding the golf course together as a parcel to a national developer. The Summer Recreation Operations segment no longer exists as a result of the reclassification.

- 5 -

In the second quarter of 2011, Land held for recreation was reclassified to Land held for investment, principally unimproved. The 311 acres that were reclassified house our ski areas which are leased to a third party operator. Operating activities relating to this land are part of the rental income segment.

Certain amounts in the Fiscal 2010 combined financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 (“Fiscal 2011”).

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” as codified in FASB Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. ASC 820 also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which a company measures assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The Company adopted ASC 820 with respect to financial instruments effective for its fiscal year beginning November 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2 (“FSP 157-2”) (codified in ASC 820) which delays the effective date of ASC 820 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). FSP 157-2 applies to, but is not limited to, long-lived assets (asset groups) measured at fair value for an impairment assessment (i.e., inventory impairment assessments). FSP 157-2 defers the effective date for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities of ASC 820 for the Companies to November 1, 2009. The Companies adoption of ASC 820 related to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities did not have a material impact on the Companies’ combined financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-5, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) — Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value,” (“ASU 2009-5”), which amends ASC 820 to provide additional guidance to clarify the measurement of liabilities at fair value in the absence of observable market information. ASU 2009-5 was effective for the Companies beginning November 1, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-5 did not have a material impact on the Companies’ combined financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“Topic 820”): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 requires certain new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurement as set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 820-10. ASU 2010-06 amends ASC Subtopic 820-10 to now require that (1) a reporting entity disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; (2) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements, and (3) a reporting entity provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Companies’ combined financial statements.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 132(R)-1, “Employer’s Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.” The disclosure requirements of this FSP are included in ASC Topic 715 — “Compensation-Retirement Benefit” (“Topic 715”) as pending transition guidance that require the disclosure of more information about investment allocation decisions, major categories of plan assets, including concentrations of risk and fair value measurements, and the fair value techniques and inputs used to measure plan assets. The disclosures about plan assets required by Topic 715 must be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The adoption of Topic 715 did not have a material impact on the Companies’ combined financial statements.

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-16, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” (“ASU 2009-16”), which is an amendment of ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” ASU 2009-16 requires more information about the transfers of financial assets. More specifically, ASU 2009-16 eliminates the concept

- 6 -

of a “qualified special purpose entity”, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and enhances the information reported to users of financial statements. ASU 2009-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after November 15, 2009. ASU 2009-16 is effective for the Companies’ financial statements for fiscal years beginning November 1, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2009-16 did not have a material impact on the Companies’ combined financial statements.

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-17, “Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities” (“ASU 2009-17”). ASU 2009-17 changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance. The new standard will require a number of new disclosures, including additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A reporting entity will be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable interest entity affects the reporting entity’s financial statements. ASU 2009-17 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-17 did not have a material impact on the Companies’ combined financial statements.

3. Segment Reporting

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

4. Income Taxes

The benefit for income taxes for the three and six months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010 is estimated using the estimated annual effective tax rate for the fiscal years ending October 31, 2011 and 2010. The effective income tax rate for the first six months of Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010 was estimated at 34%.

The Companies’ practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters as income tax expense in its combined financial statements. As of and for the six months ended April 30, 2011, no interest and penalties have been accrued in the combined balance sheet and no expense is reflected in the combined statement of operations. At April 30, 2011, federal and state tax returns for years ending October 31, 2007 and later are subject to future examination by the respective tax authorities.

5. Stock Based Compensation

During the six months ended April 30, 2011 and April 30, 2010 no stock options were issued or exercised.

Option activity during the six month period ended April 30, 2011 is as follows:


	Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price	Aggregate Intrinsic Value	Weighted Average Remaining Useful Life (in years)
Outstanding at October 31, 2010	43,000	$ 38.40	$ 1,651,200	0.88
Granted	0	0	0
Exercised	0	0	0
Expired	21,500	$ 37.80	$ 812,700	0
Outstanding at April 30, 2011	21,500	$ 39.00	$ 838,500	0.92

Options exercisable at April 30, 2011	21,500	$ 39.00

Option exercise price range	$ 39.00

All options are vested and the Companies do not intend to issue additional options during Fiscal 2011, therefore the Companies do not expect to recognize any compensation expense related to non-vested awards during Fiscal 2011.

- 7 -

The Companies’ policy regarding the exercise of options requires that optionees utilize an independent broker to manage the transaction, whereby, following the option exercise 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:


	04/30/2011	10/31/2010
Land unimproved designated for development	$ 10,901,934	$ 11,094,647
Residential development	3,868,166	4,006,189
Infrastructure development	6,487,873	6,309,901
	$ 21,257,973	$ 21,410,737

The decrease in land unimproved designated for development was the result of two land sales in the second quarter of Fiscal 2011. Residential development costs decreased due to the reclassification of one condo unit to long lived assets held for sale and the sale of one condo unit at Boulder Lake Village and one duplex townhouse in Woodsbluff Court in the first quarter of Fiscal 2011. The increase in infrastructure development was primarily related to design modifications related to the Big Boulder wastewater facility.

7. Land


	04/30/2011	10/31/2010
Land held for investment
Land – Unimproved	$ 2,302,492	$ 2,302,492
Land – Commercial rental properties	6,183,525	6,183,525

9. Investment in Direct Financing Leases

The Companies lease the Jack Frost and Big Boulder ski areas to a third party under direct financing leases that extend through 2034. The leases provide for minimum rental payments, with scheduled payment increases based upon the U.S. Consumer Price Index not to exceed 4% in any given year. Minimum annual future lease payments due under these leases at April 30, 2011 are as follows:


2012	$ 265,768
2013	272,412
2014	279,222
2015	286,203
2016	293,358
Thereafter	14,625,996
TOTAL	$ 16,022,959

The Companies net investment in direct financing leases consists of the following as of April 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010:


	04/30/11	10/31/10
Minimum future lease payments	$ 7,592,080	$ 7,757,213
Unguaranteed residual value of lease properties	8,430,879	8,430,879
Gross investment in lease	16,022,959	16,188,092
Unearned income	(7,728,465)	(7,889,299)
Net investment in direct financing leases	$ 8,294,494	$ 8,298,793

Unearned interest income is amortized to income using the interest method. The scheduled increases in future annual lease payments have been accounted for on a straight line basis over the terms of the leases in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

10. Per Share Data

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The determination of diluted EPS assumes weighted average options have been exercised to purchase shares of common stock in the three and six months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, net of assumed repurchases using the treasury stock method. The dilutive calculation for the three and six months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010 is excluded due to the exercise price of the unexercised stock options being greater than the market price of the Companies’ common stock.

Weighted average basic shares, taking into consideration shares issued, weighted average options used in calculating EPS and treasury shares repurchased, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2011 and April 30, 2010 are as follows:


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	04/30/11	04/30/10	04/30/11	04/30/10
Weighted average combined shares of common stock outstanding used to compute basic earnings per combined share	2,450,424	2,450,424	2,450,424	2,450,424
Additional combined common shares to be issued assuming exercise of stock options, net of combined shares assumed reacquired	0	0	0	0
Combined shares used to compute dilutive effect of stock option	2,450,424	2,450,424	2,450,424	2,450,424

Overview

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

The Companies own 14,104 acres of land in Northeastern Pennsylvania, along with 15 acres in various other states. Of these land holdings, the Companies’ have designated 3,396 acres as held for development. It is expected that all of the Companies’ planned developments will be subdivided and sold as parcels of land, while others will be developed into single and multi-family housing.

The real estate industry is cyclical and is subject to numerous economic factors including general business conditions, changes in interest rates, inflation and oversupply of properties. Any sustained period of weakness or weakening business or economic condition in the markets in which the Companies currently operate or intend to do business or in related markets, such as those they have experienced, will impact the demand for the type of properties the Companies intend to develop.

The Companies are offering for sale homes in the Laurelwoods II community and the Boulder Lake Village Condominium development overlooking Big Boulder Lake and Ski Resort located in Lake Harmony, Pennsylvania. In Phase I of the Laurelwoods II community, construction was completed on 22 single family homes, all of which have been sold. Municipal approval has been received for the construction of 44 duplex and 22 single units in Phase II of the Laurelwoods II community and construction of eight of the duplex units has been completed. Five of these completed units have been sold and the three other units are in inventory. Municipal approval has been received for the construction of 144 condominium units in the Boulder Lake Village condominium development. Boulder Lake Village “Building J” is comprised of 18 condominium units, and construction has been completed on 15 of these units. Three of these completed units have been sold, one unit has been decorated as a model, one unit accommodates a sales office and ten are held in inventory. The remaining three condominium units are expected to be completed during Fiscal 2011.

Due to the sustained weakness of the housing market nationwide, the Companies continue to monitor the progress of residential home sales within the Northeast region. Although the Companies are continuing construction of Phase II of the Laurelwoods II community of multi-family homes and the Boulder Lake Village condominium project, the Companies do not expect to start any new residential development projects or begin construction on any additional planned homes or units until the market stabilizes.

Management is 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 the Companies’ 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. Other steps taken by management to attract new home and land sale customers include, among other things, offering a one year membership with the Lake Mountain Club, offering complimentary passes to the Jack Frost National Golf Course to the purchasers of the existing Laurelwoods II duplex townhomes and offering a one year membership with the Lake Mountain Club 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 an existing Laurelwoods II duplex home or Boulder Lake Village condominium. The Companies are also offering financing opportunities for the purchase of selected tracts of land.

- 12 -

During the six months ended April 30, 2011, management has pursued selective sales of land, some of which may be treated as section 1031 tax deferred exchanges under the IRC. Management intends to continue such sales through Fiscal 2011, and the Companies also intend to continue researching income producing investment properties for potential acquisition during this time.

The Companies also generate revenue by the selective timbering of their land. Management relies on the advice of their forester, who is engaged on a consulting basis and who receives a commission on each stumpage contract, for the timing and selection of certain parcels for timbering. The forester gives significant attention to protecting the environment and retaining the value of these parcels for future timber harvests. The forester has completed an inventory of the Companies’ timber resources to aid management in considering valuations before entering into future timber agreements.

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

The Companies also have begun advertising certain subdivisions for sale to recognized land developers in order to facilitate the market for housing and to reduce the inherent risk associated with land development.

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

Recent Developments

On February 17, 2011, the Companies entered into an Agreement of Sale with The Conservation Fund (referred to as the “Phase 3 Agreement”) under which the Companies have agreed to sell to The Conservation Fund approximately 376 acres of undeveloped land located in Thornhurst Township, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania for a purchase price of $1,600,000. The purchase price exceeds the cost basis in the land. Pursuant to the terms of the Phase 3 Agreement, The Conservation Fund may perform due diligence until August 16, 2011 and, prior to this date, may determine for any reason that it is not feasible to proceed with the acquisition of the land. Closing under the Phase 3 Agreement is to occur within 30 days following the completion of the due diligence. As set forth in the Phase 3 Agreement, the Company will retain gas and oil rights on the Property from closing through December 31, 2031. The proceeds from the sale would be used to pay down debt.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

The Companies have identified the most critical accounting policies upon which the Companies’ financial reporting 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 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, golf activities and leasing activities. Revenues are recognized as services are performed, except as noted below.

The Companies recognize income on the disposition of real estate 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, a minimum 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.

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 and costs on custom home construction 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

- 13 -

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.

Timbering revenues from stumpage contracts are recognized at the time a stumpage contract is signed. At the time a stumpage contract is signed, the risk of ownership is passed to the buyer at a fixed, determinable cost. There is no transfer of title in connection with these contracts. 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.

Deferred income consists of rents, ski area leases, dues and deposits on land or home sales. Rents that are not yet earned are related to the Companies’ commercial properties that have been paid in advance. Ski area leases are paid over a four month period from December to March and recognized over the year. Dues are related to memberships in the Companies’ hunting and fishing clubs and golf course memberships paid in advance. Revenues related to the hunting and fishing clubs and golf course memberships are recognized over the seasonal period that the dues cover. The Companies 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, from April through October. Deposits are required on land and home sales.

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.

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 transactions as direct financing leases. The accounting is 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 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 of the closing documents, at which time a binding contract is in effect, the buyer has arranged for permanent financing and the Companies are assured of payment in full. In addition, 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.

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.

- 14 -

The Companies sponsor a defined benefit pension plan as detailed in footnote 8 to the accompanying unaudited combined financial statements. The accounting for pension cots 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. The Companies engage the services of an independent actuary and investment consultant to assist them in determining these assumptions and in calculating pension income. The pension plan is currently underfunded and, accordingly, the Companies have made contributions to the fund of $402,126 in Fiscal 2010. The Companies expect to contribute $637,450 to the pension plan in Fiscal 2011. Future benefit accruals under the pension plan ceased as of August 31, 2010. The Companies also have a 401(k) pension plan that is available to all full time employees. Effective August 1, 2010, the Companies match 50% of employee salary deferral contributions up to 3% of their pay for each payroll period.

The Companies 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.

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.

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

Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended April 30, 2011 and 2010

Operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2011 resulted in a net loss of $488,563 and $949,215, or $.20 and $.39 per combined share respectively, compared to a net loss of $544,719 and $1,044,047, or $0.22 and $0.42 per combined share, for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2010, respectively.

Revenues

Combined revenue of $1,014,750 and $2,482,414 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2011 represents a decrease of $40,606 and an increase of $262,550, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended April 30, 2010. Real Estate Management Operations / Rental Operations revenue increased $3,750 and decreased $30,119, or less than 1% and (2%), respectively, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2011, compared to the three and six months ended April 30, 2010. Land Resource Management revenue decreased $44,356 and increased $292,669, or (19%) and 52% for the three and six months ended April 30, 2011 compared to the three and six months ended April 30, 2010, respectively.

Real Estate Management/Rental Operations

Real Estate Management Operations / Rental Operations revenue was $1,623,133 for the six months ended April 30, 2011, compared to $1,653,252 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, which resulted in a decrease of $30,119, or (2%). This decrease was primarily attributed to a decrease in Moseywood Construction Company’s new home construction sales. Revenue for new home construction sales for the six months ended April 30, 2011 was $0, compared to residual revenue of $89,129 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, a decrease of $89,129. The Companies have not accepted any new home construction contracts since July 3, 2008 due to the ongoing, overall economic slowdown. All new homes under the existing contracts have been completed. Trust service fees, which are fees for water, sewer and road maintenance, for the six months ended April 30, 2011, increased to $334,700 as compared to $329,219 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, an increase of $5,481, or 2%. Rental revenue for the six months ended April 30, 2011 increased to $1,166,270 as compared to $1,114,735 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, an increase of $51,535, or 5%. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of a commercial property in Fort Collins Colorado in the second quarter of Fiscal 2010 resulting in rental revenue of $58,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2011 as compared to $20,714 for the six months ended April 31, 2010 for an increase of $37,286 or greater than

- 15 -

100%. Revenue related to the lease of the ski areas was $144,808 for the six months ended April 30, 2011 as compared to $126,626 for the six months ended April 30, 2010 for an increase of $18,182, or 14%. This increase was primarily related to water testing service revenue.

Land Resource Management

For the six months ended April 30, 2011, Land Resource Management revenues increased to $859,281 compared to $566,612 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, an increase of $292,669, or 52%. This increase is primarily attributable to one condominium sale in Boulder Lake Village and one duplex townhouse sale in Laurelwoods II community totaling $584,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2011, as compared to one condominium sale in Boulder Lake Village for $320,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, an increase of $264,000, or 83%. For the six months ended April 30, 2011, timbering revenue was $77,900 as compared to $0 for the six months ended April 30, 2010. Land Sale revenue for the six months ended April 30, 2011 decreased to $165,696 as compared to $178,022 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, a decrease of $12,326, or 7%. Land sales do not occur on a regular basis. The Jack Frost National Golf Course’s revenue for the six months ended April 30, 2011 decreased to $31,185 as compared to $68,590 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, a decrease of $37,405, or 55%, which we believe was primarily due to inclement weather.

Operating Costs

Real Estate Management/Rental Operations

Operating costs associated with Real Estate Management Operations / Rental Operations for the six months ended April 30, 2011 decreased to $1,029,687 compared to $1,117,179 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, a decrease of $87,492, or (8%). For the six months ended April 30, 2011, new home construction costs decreased to $250 compared to $75,717 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, a decrease of $75,467, or 99%. Operating expenses for the new home construction division for the six months ended April 30, 2011 decreased to $0 as compared to $23,989 for the six months ended April 30, 2010. These decreases are attributable to our decision not to accept any new home construction contracts. All new homes under the existing contracts have been completed.

Land Resource Management

Operating costs associated with Land Resource Management for the six months ended April 30, 2011 increased to $1,399,896 compared with $1,172,802 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, an increase of $227,094, or 19%. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in construction costs related to real estate development, which were $283,042 for the six months ended April 30, 2011 as compared to $203,663 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, an increase of $79,379, or 39%. This increase was the result of the sale of one condominium in Boulder Lake Village and one furnished duplex townhouse sale in the Laurelwoods II community during the six months ended April 30, 2011, as compared to the sale of one condominium in Boulder Lake Village during the six months ended April 30, 2010. Correspondingly, the real estate development operating expenses for the six months ended April 30, 2011 increased to $490,627as compared to $297,410 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, an increase of $193,217, or 65%. This increase was primarily due to furnishings related to the sale of the Laurelwoods II duplex townhouse ($53,076) and, salaries and related benefits and taxes no longer being capitalized ($33,525), interest expense ($52,471) landscaping expenses ($11,637), commissions ($13,200) and architectural and engineering fees ($10,593). The Jack Frost National Golf Course expenses decreased by $24,692 for the six months ended April 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended April 30, 2010 primarily due to decreased course repairs and maintenance ($14,991) and advertising ($5,542). There was one timbering contract for the six months ended April 30, 2011 resulting in consulting fees of $7,790.

General and Administration

General and Administration costs for the six months ended April 30, 2011 decreased to $895,779 as compared to $1,040,704 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, a decrease of $144,925, or 14%. This decrease is primarily related to pension costs ($94,123), salaries and related benefits and payroll taxes ($37,240) and consulting fees ($35,118) that were offset by increased depreciation and amortization expense of $16,852.

- 16 -

Other Income (Expense)

Interest and other income decreased to $170,941for the six months ended April 30, 2011 compared to $174,359 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, a decrease of $3,418, or 2%.

Interest expense for the six months ended April 30, 2011 increased to $766,208 compared to $643,585 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, an increase of $122,623, or 19%. , On July 29, 2010 the Companies entered into a loan agreement on a $2,600,000 demand note to be used for the completion of certain residential units and for other working capital purposes. Interest expense relating to this note was $68,630 for the six months ended April 30, 2011 as compared to $0 for the six months ended April 30, 2010. Interest expense relating to the completed and unsold units at Boulder Lake Village and Woodsbluff duplexes increasing to $93,708 for the six months ended April 30, 2011 as compared to $67,320 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, an increase of $26,388, or 39%. In addition, the Companies acquired a commercial property in Fort Collins Colorado in February 2010 which resulted in an interest expense of $23,450 for the six months ended April 30, 2011 as compared to $8,331 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, an increase of $15,119, or 181%. These increases were offset by the pay down of other debt.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate for the six months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010 was 34%. The rate for Fiscal 2011 is specific to federal taxes. There is no benefit for state income tax because the Companies fully reserved the future benefit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As reflected in the Combined Statements of Cash Flows, net cash used in operating activities was $276,017 for the six months ended April 30, 2011 versus net cash used in operating activities of $350,625 for the six months ended April 30, 2010. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended April 30, 2011 is primarily attributable to reduced expenditures for construction projects.

For the six months ended April 30, 2011, maintenance equipment for our golf course was the major capital expenditure.

On February 25, 2010, the Companies entered into a Deed of Trust and Security Agreement and Purchase Money Promissory Note (the “Grove Note”) with The Stephen A. Grove Descendants Trust in the amount of $670,000, which encumbers certain real property owned by Blue Ridge located in Fort Collins, Colorado. This property is currently leased to AmRest, LLC d/b/a Applebee’s. The Grove Note has a term of five years and requires monthly payments in the amount of $3,908.33 beginning March 1, 2010 and ending February 28, 2015, at which time the remaining principal balance and all interest accrued shall become due and payable. The interest rate is fixed at 7.00%.

On July 29, 2010, the Companies entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan”) and Term Note (“the Note”) with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (the “Bank”) in the amount of $2,600,000. The principal amount of the Loan is to be paid in full on July 29, 2011. The Companies are currently negotiating with the Bank for an extension. Interest is due and payable on a monthly basis and accrues at a variable rate equal to the greater of (a) 3.50 percentage points above one-month LIBOR or (b) 5.25%. The Loan is secured by (a) open-end mortgages (the “Mortgages”), granted by the Companies, on all of the Borrowers’ right, title and interest in and to the land and improvements at Jack Frost Mountain Ski Area and Big Boulder Ski Area, both of which are located in Kidder Township, Carbon County, Pennsylvania; (b) a first priority perfected security interest in all non-real estate assets of each of the Borrowers; and (c) the unlimited and unconditional guaranty and suretyship of Kimco Realty Corporation, the Companies’ majority shareholder. The Companies were also required to place $500,000 in the existing interest reserve account as security for the payment of interest. The proceeds of the Loan are being used to complete construction of certain residential units and for other working capital purposes.

The Companies have a $9,000,000 line of credit with the Bank to fund real estate development with a construction sub-limit of $4,400,000 and site development sub-limit of $4,600,000. The interest rate on this line of credit is equal to the greater of overnight LIBOR plus 3.5% or the daily 30-day LIBOR plus 3.5%, with an interest rate floor of 5.5%. The Companies maintain an interest reserve account which was established in the third quarter of Fiscal 2009 as security for the payment of interest with the

- 17 -

proceeds from a sale of land. Interest is due and payable on a monthly basis and at April 30, 2011, the interest rate equaled 5.5% and the balance of the interest reserve escrow account was $300,180. The remaining principal and any accrued interest are due and payable on September 30, 2012. The Companies utilized a portion of the proceeds from the sale of one Boulder Lake Village condominium unit and one Laurelwoods Woodsbluff Court duplex unit to repay $411,688 and $128,524 on the Construction and Site Development sub-limits, respectively, during the six months ended April 30, 2011. At April 30, 2011, $3,993,701 and $3,261,510 were outstanding on the Construction and Site Development sub-limits, respectively

The total principal amount outstanding under the aggregate line of credit will not exceed the lesser of (a) $9,000,000, or (b) 80% of the cost or appraised value of the units. The loan agreement requires, among other things, that the Companies comply with consolidated debt to worth, debt service coverage and tangible net worth ratios. The Companies have not met the required debt service coverage ratio at October 31, 2010 and have obtained a waiver from the Bank for this covenant.

The Companies also have a $3,100,000 line of credit with the Bank for general operations. At April 30, 2011, $2,265,201 was outstanding on the $3,100,000 line at a 5.5% interest rate.

The following table sets forth the Companies’ significant contractual cash obligations for the items indicated as of April 30, 2011:


Contractual Obligations:	Total	Less than 1 year	1-3 years	4-5 years	More than 5 years
Lines of Credit	$9,520,412	$9,520,412	$0	$0	$0
Long-Term Debt	19,485,671	2,982,481	9,252,576	515,125	6,735,489
Capital Leases	199,597	69,500	130,097	0	0
Purchase Obligations	29,454	29,454	0	0	0
Pension Contribution Obligations	438,350	438,350	0	0	0
Total Contractual Cash Obligations	$29,673,484	$13,040,197	$9,382,673	$515,125	$6,735,489

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.

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 April 30, 2011, we had $12,257,920 of variable rate indebtedness, representing 42% of our total debt outstanding, at an average rate of 5.42% (calculated as of April 30, 2011). Our average interest rate is based on our various credit facilities and our market risk exposure fluctuates based on changes in underlying interest rates.

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.

The Companies’ chief executive officer and chief financial officer, along with the participation of management, 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 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 the Companies in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and is accumulated and communicated to the Companies’ management, including the Companies’ principal executive and principal financial officers, or person

- 18 -

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, the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Companies are presently party to certain lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of their business. The Companies believe that none of their current legal proceedings will be material to their business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
