BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

13.  Business Segment Information

     The following information is presented in accordance with the accounting pronouncement regarding disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information.  The Companies’ business segments were determined from the Companies’ internal organization and management reporting, which are based primarily on differences in services.  

   Real Estate Management/Rental Operations

     Real Estate Management/Rental Operations consists of: investment properties leased to others located in Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Minnesota and Louisiana; recreational club activities; services to the trusts that operate resort residential communities; sales of investment properties; and rental of land and land improvements.

Land Resource Management

     Land Resource Management consists of: land sales; land purchases; timbering operations; the Jack Frost National Golf Course; 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.  We rely on the advice of our 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 of land for timbering.  Our forester gives significant attention to protecting the environment and retaining the value of these parcels for future timber harvests.  The Jack Frost National Golf Course is managed by Billy Casper Golf, LLC, an unaffiliated third party.  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 infrastructure improvements and home construction in the Laurelwoods II and Boulder Lake Village communities.  Construction of 22 single family homes, four duplex homes in Laurelwoods II and 18 condominium units within Building J at Boulder Lake Village on Big Boulder Lake have been completed at October 31, 2012.  Other expenditures for our development projects in the planning phases include fees for architects, engineers, consultants, studies and permits.  All of the homes had been sold as of January 31, 2013, except for one condominium which was subsequently sold on February 1, 2013.
