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, 2012, 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, 2013 and 2012, 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’ 2012 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.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

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

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.  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, asset fair value calculations, accounts and mortgages receivables, 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 in which the revisions are made.

Management believes that its accounting policies regarding revenue recognition, land development costs, long lived assets, 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, 2012 (“Fiscal 2012”).  Material subsequent events are evaluated and disclosed through the issuance date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Cash held in escrow:

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”).

Discontinued operations:

A component of the Companies is classified as a discontinued operation when (i) the operations and cash flows of the component of the Companies can be clearly distinguished and have been or will be eliminated from our ongoing operations; (ii) the component has either been disposed of or is classified as held for sale; and (iii) we will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component of the Companies after the disposal transactions.  Significant judgments are involved in determining whether a component meets the criteria for discontinued operations reporting and the period in which these criteria are met.

6

   If a component of the Companies is reported as a discontinued operation, the results of operations through the date of sale, including any gain or loss recognized on the disposition, are presented on a separate line of the statement of operations.

Reclassification

   The Companies report the results of discontinued operations as a separate component of income on the combined statements of operations under the caption discontinued operations.  As previously disclosed, this reporting presentation resulted in certain reclassifications of the 2012 financial statement amounts.  Accordingly, certain amounts in the Fiscal 2012 combined financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the reclassified presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

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 May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”, which clarifies several aspects of the guidance in ASU No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”.  ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Companies combined financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Statement of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”), which requires entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income.  ASU 2011-05 was effective for the Companies’ fiscal year beginning November 1, 2012.  In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12 (ASU 2011-12) which is a deferral of the effective date for the amendments to the presentation of reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 1, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance, which relates to presentation only, did not have a material impact on the Companies’ combined financial statements.  

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified  Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2013-02), requires entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period.  For other amounts an entity is required to cross reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional details about these amounts.  ASU 2013-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012.

3.  Discontinued operations

On November 30, 2011, the Jack in the Box located in Wallisville, Texas was sold and as a result the operating activity for the three and six months ended April 30, 2012 is being reported as a discontinued operation.  The operating results of Jack in the Box were previously reported in the Rental Operations of the combined statements of operations.  At October 31, 2012, there were no remaining assets or liabilities related to Jack in the Box.

7

On December 15, 2011, the Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder ski areas were sold and as a result the operating activity for the three and six months ended April 30, 2012 is being reported as a discontinued operation.  The operating results of the ski areas were previously reported in the Rental Operations of the combined statements of operations.  At October 31, 2012, there were no remaining assets or liabilities related to the Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder ski areas.

On September 17, 2012, the Companies signed an agreement of sale regarding Lot 5 Maple Terrace located in Saylorsburg, PA.  A deposit was received and the transaction is expected to close October 1, 2013.  As a result operating activity for the property is being reported as discontinued operations for the three and six month periods ending April 30, 2013 and 2012.  At April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012, there were assets related to the Maple Terrace property totaling $166,682 included in assets of discontinued operations and there were no liabilities.

The combined assets included in discontinued operations as of April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012 are summarized as follows:

   Operating results, including interest expense incurred, of the discontinued operations in three and six months ending April 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

4. Segment Reporting

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

5. Income Taxes

   The benefit for income taxes for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 is estimated using the estimated annual effective tax rate for the fiscal years ending October 31, 2013 and 2012.  The effective income tax rate for the first six months of the Companies’ fiscal year ending October 31, 2013 (such fiscal year “Fiscal 2013”) and Fiscal 2012 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, 2013, 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, 2013, federal and state tax returns for fiscal years ending October 31, 2009 and later are subject to future examination by the respective tax authorities.

6.  Land and Land Development Costs

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

     The decrease in land unimproved designated for development was the result of the reclassification of 1,577 acres of raw land on River Road, Buck Township Pennsylvania to an asset held for sale. The decrease in infrastructure development was related to an impairment expense taken against the remaining 126 units of the Boulder Lake Village condominium project.

7.  Land Held for Investment

     A portion of the decrease in land-unimproved was the result of a reclassification of 2,114 acres of raw land in Bear Creek and Buck Townships, Pennsylvania, to an asset held for sale.  The remaining portion of the decrease was related to an impairment expense taken on 2.9 acres of land known as the Flower Field parcel.

8.  Pension Benefits

     Components of Net Periodic Pension Cost:

9

The Companies expect to contribute $279,000 to their pension plan in the fiscal year ending October 31, 2013 (“Fiscal 2013”).  As of April 30, 2013, the Companies made contributions totaling $93,000 and anticipate contributing an additional $186,000 to fund their pension plan in Fiscal 2013.

9.  Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The following table presents the changes in the accumulated other comprehensive loss for the six months ended April 30, 2013 and the twelve months ended October 31, 2012:

The other comprehensive loss is reported net of tax.

10.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Impairment

   The Companies use ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC 820”), to measure the fair value of certain assets and liabilities.  ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements.

The fair value hierarchy is summarized below:

Level 1:

Fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Fair value determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active.

Level 3:

Fair value determined using significant unobservable inputs, such as pricing models, discounted cash flows, or similar techniques.

The estimated recurring fair values of the Companies' financial instruments at April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012 are as follows:

   Fair Values were determined as follows:

   Cash and cash equivalents, accounts and mortgages receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities:  The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

   Debt: The fair value of debt is estimated using discounted cash flows based on current borrowing rates available to the Companies for similar types of borrowing arrangements - Level 2 hierarchy.

   As of April 30, 2013, the carrying amount net of prior period impairments for land and land development costs is $19,404,071, less impairment expense of $3,500,000, recorded in the six months ended April 30, 2013 for a revised carrying value of $15,904,071.  A 126 unit development project had a carrying value of $4,610,965 which was written down by an impairment charge of $3,500,000.  Management reassessed the carrying value of the project following its evaluation of trends in the local real estate market, which management determined were not reflecting the recovery

10

recently experienced nationally.  In determining the amount of the impairment, management performed a discounted cash flow analysis based on reduced estimates regarding the timing of unit sales and the prices to be realized.  Certain quantitative inputs utilized in the analysis for this impairment are detailed below.  The carrying amount net of prior period impairments for land improvements, buildings and equipment is $19,859,880.  A reclassification of $515,631 was recorded to both land improvements, buildings and equipment and deferred income due to notification received from the PA Department of Transportation stating the proposed safety rest area project along Interstate 80 has been abandoned.  This reclassification had $0 impact on the Combined Statement of Operations.  The carrying amount net of prior period impairments for land held for investment is $6,599,468 less impairment expense of $200,000 recorded in the six months ended April 30, 2013 for a revised carrying value of $6,399,468.  A certain lot included in land held for investment had a carrying value of $500,431 which was written down by an impairment charge of $200,000.  The quoted listing price less selling and closing costs provided by the broker for this 2.9 acre parcel of land was the input used in determining the fair value of this property (Level 2).  The carrying amount net of prior period impairments for long-lived assets held for sale as of April 30, 2013 is $1,660,757.  The assets of discontinued operations as of April 30, 2013 had a carrying value net of prior period adjustments for impairment of $166,682.  There was a total of $3,700,000 impairment expense in the six months ended April 30, 2013.

   As part of its ongoing methodology to review the carrying value of certain of its properties, management reviewed the carrying values of the Jack Frost National Golf Course and adjacent land approved for use as a planned residential development.  Based on, among other factors, trends in the local real estate market, management has determined it is likely that the carrying value of the properties has been impaired.  However, management is currently unable to estimate the amount of the impairment, and is undertaking additional measures to provide such an estimate. Management anticipates that it will complete this process, and that the Company will recognize the applicable impairment loss, if any, during the quarter ended July 31, 2013.

   As of October 31, 2012, the carrying amount net of prior period impairments for land and land development costs were $20,359,066 less impairment expense of $7,000 in Fiscal 2012 for a revised carrying value of $20,352,066.  A certain lot included in the land and land development costs had a carrying value of $37,394 which was written down in Fiscal 2012 by an impairment charge of $7,000 due to the sale of a similar lot in Fiscal 2012, to its fair value of $30,394.  The carrying amount net of prior period impairments for land improvements, buildings and equipment is $21,043,068.  There was no impairment expense for land improvements, buildings and equipment in Fiscal 2012.  The carrying amount net of prior period impairments for land held for investment is $6,848,390.  There was no impairment on land held for investment in Fiscal 2012.  The carrying amount net of prior period impairments for long-lived assets held for sale as of October 31, 2012 was $846,174.  There was no impairment expense on long-lived assets held for sale in Fiscal 2012.  The assets of discontinued operations as of October 31, 2012 had a carrying value net of prior period adjustments for impairment of $230,382 less $63,700 impairment expense in Fiscal 2012, due to a sales agreement signed in September 2012 for this property, for a fair value of $166,682.  The overall total impairment in Fiscal 2012 was $70,700.  The impairment for long-lived assets held for sale, land and land development costs, land held for investment and assets of discontinued operations was determined using level 2 criteria wherein fair value is determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in an active market for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active.

   The table below summarizes the level of fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements resulting in impairment losses during the six month period ending April 30, 2013 are categorized:

11

(a) In accordance with Subtopic 360-10, land and land development costs with a carrying value of $4.6 million were written down to their fair value of approximately $1.1 million, resulting in impairment expense of $3.5 million, which was included in the loss for the period.

(b) In accordance with Subtopic 360-10, land held for investment with a carrying value of approximately $500,000 was written down to its fair value of approximately $300,000, resulting in impairment expense of $200,000, which was included in the loss for the period.

   The table below summarizes, for the periods indicated, the ranges of certain quantitative unobservable inputs (Level 3) utilized in determining the fair value of the impaired land and land development costs:

11.  Per Share Data

     Earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  The calculation of diluted EPS assumes weighted average options have been exercised to purchase shares of common stock in the relevant period, net of assumed repurchases using the treasury stock method.   For the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 all outstanding unexercised stock options would be excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the exercise price of all such options exceeded the market price of the Companies’ common stock.  As a result, the calculation of diluted EPS has been excluded from the table below since diluted EPS for these periods is equal to EPS.

     Weighted average basic shares, taking into consideration shares issued, weighted average options used in calculating EPS and treasury shares repurchased, and basic loss per weighted average combined share for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 and April 30, 2012 are as follows:

12

12.  Supplemental Disclosure to Statements of Cash Flows

The following are supplemental disclosures to the statements of cash flows for the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012:

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 February 1, 2013.

13

     Information by business segment is as follows:

     Identifiable assets, net of accumulated depreciation at April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012 and depreciation expense and capital expenditures for six months ended April 31, 2013 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 by business segment are as follows:

14

During the six months ended April 30, 2012, the Companies had two material property sales, which totaled $10,911,419: one sale for $9,000,000 to JFBB Ski Areas, Inc. and one sale for $1,911,419 to Phyllis Enfield Trust.  During the six months ended April 30, 2013, there was no concentration of sales.

Overview

Over the past 30 years, we have developed resort residential communities adjacent to the Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder Ski Areas located in Lake Harmony, Kidder Township, Pennsylvania.  These communities are located in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, a popular recreation destination for local and regional visitors, especially from the New York City and Philadelphia metropolitan areas.  The scenic hills and valleys of the Pocono Mountains offer many opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities such as golfing, fishing, hunting, skiing, snowboarding and other sports.

At April 30, 2013, we owned 13,778 acres of land in Northeastern Pennsylvania along with 13 acres of land in various other states.  Of these land holdings, we designated 1,433 acres as held for development, 8,289 acres as land held for investment, 4,068 acres as held for sale and 1 acre for discontinued operations.  It is expected that all of our planned developments will either be subdivided and sold as parcels of land, or 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 weakening business or economic conditions will impact the demand for the type of properties we intend to develop.  Management continues to monitor the progress of residential home sales within the Northeast region.  No new residential development projects will be started until the market stabilizes.

With recent changes in management and in light of the economic environment, we will continue to evaluate our strategic plan and our master development plan.  We have reviewed our land inventory, oil, gas and mineral rights and development portfolio with a view to maximize shareholder value.  As in the past, we will continue to consider opportunistic asset sales of non-core investment properties as a means of funding future operations.

For Fiscal 2013, 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 also have generated revenue through the selective timbering of our land.  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 for timbering.  Our forester gives significant attention to protecting the environment and maximizing the value of these parcels for future timber harvests.  We have not entered into any new timber harvest contracts for the timbering of our lands in order to provide ample time for the regeneration of trees.  Our forester will monitor the growth and timbering will resume when we, in consultation with our forester, deem prudent.

The Jack Frost National Golf Course is managed by Billy Casper Golf, LLC, a nationally-recognized golf course management company.  With a continued emphasis on course maintenance, along with the natural maturation of the fairways, Jack Frost National has become one of the premier golf facilities in Northeastern Pennsylvania.  Year to year financial performance has continued to improve.

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

Recent Developments

17

Prior to the Fourth Amendment, the Phase 3 Agreement provided, among other things, that (i) the Seller reserved the oil and gas rights on the Property for a period commencing on the date of Closing and terminating on December 31, 2031; and (ii) that the terms of a surface use agreement for gas and oil rights on the Property (the “Surface Use Agreement”) would be negotiated during the inspection period (as extended by the terms of the Third Amendment).  The Fourth Amendment provides that (i) the term and duration of the oil and gas reservation reserved by Seller in Section 1 of the Phase 3 Agreement is extended and shall expire on December 31, 2035; (ii) the parties have completed review of the Surface Use Agreement referenced in Section 1 of the Phase 3 Agreement and attached to the Phase 3 Agreement as Exhibit C (the Surface Use Agreement Exhibit”); and (iii) the parties agree that the Surface Use Agreement Exhibit shall be the final form of Surface Use Agreement and shall be incorporated by reference and attached to the deed at Closing.  All other terms and conditions of the Phase 3 Agreement in effect prior to the Fourth Amendment remain in effect.

On March 21, 2013, Blue Ridge Real Estate Company (the “Company”) and the Pennsylvania Game Commission (the “Purchaser”) entered into a Land Purchase Option (the “Purchase Option”) and Addendum (the “Addendum” and together with the Purchase Option, the “PGC Agreement”) for raw land owned by the Company. Under the PGC Agreement, the Company has agreed to sell the Purchaser two tracts of land in two phases: the first phase consists of approximately 1,557 acres of land in Buck Township, Luzerne County (hereinafter referred to as“BRRE14”) and the second phase consists of approximately 2,106 acres of land in Buck and Bear Creek Townships, Luzerne County, (hereinafter referred to as “BRRE2” and together with BRRE14, “the Properties”), collectively conveying 3,663 acres of land, for an aggregate purchase price of $10,050,000.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Option, the sale was subject to acceptance by the Purchaser within six months from the date the PGC Agreement was signed (the “Acceptance Period”) and was irrevocable by the Company during the Acceptance Period. On April 15, 2013, Blue Ridge Real Estate Company (the “Company”) received notice from the Pennsylvania Game Commission (the “Purchaser”) that the Land Purchase Option (the “Purchase Option”) and Addendum (the “Addendum” and together with the Purchase Option, the “PGC Agreement”) entered into on March 21, 2013 was accepted by the Purchaser.  Under the terms of the PGC Agreement, once the Purchase Option is accepted by the Purchaser, it converts to a Land Purchase Contract (the “Purchase Contract”).  The Purchaser shall have the option of canceling the Purchase Contract or accepting the Properties without diminution in price (i) if significant contamination or pollution has occurred or a waste disposal site is present on the Properties; or (ii) if the title examination by the Purchaser reveals material title defects of the Properties.

The Addendum further provides that, if the Purchaser exercises the Purchase Option, (i) the Company will perform and pay for all surveys of the Properties for the purposes of title insurance and for the preparation of deeds; (ii)  the Company will retain gas and oil rights on the Properties from closing through June 30, 2023; (iii) the Company shall terminate all hunting leases on the Properties prior to closing; (iv) the closing for the sale of the Properties shall take place in two phases: BRRE14 shall close on or before July 31, 2013 (the “Phase 1 Closing”) for the purchase price of $5,000,000 which shall be paid to the Company at the Phase 1 Closing; and BRRE2 shall close between November 1, 2013 and November 15, 2013 (the “Phase 2 Closing”) for the purchase price of $5,050,000 which shall be paid to the Company at the Phase 2 Closing; (v) title to the Properties is subject to all exceptions, restrictions, reservations, easements, rights-of-way, conditions, agreements, rights, covenants, privileges and licenses as granted or conveyed to others by the Company or its predecessors; (vi) prior to or simultaneously to the transfer of BRRE14 to the Purchaser, the Company shall convey two electric transmission easements for Right of Way (the “ROW”) to PPL Electric Utilities Corporation (“PPL”); (vii) the Purchaser shall have the opportunity to review and approve the ROW; and (viii) the Company will enter into a Backstop Agreement with PPL (the “PPL Agreement”), providing PPL with rights to acquire BRRE14 in the event that the Purchaser fails to complete the Phase 1 Closing by July 31, 2013.

On March 21, 2013, the Company entered into the PPL Agreement, which is contingent on the PGC Agreement disclosed above, to provide assurance for the orderly disposition of BRRE14 and for the grant of the ROW over BRRE14 for the construction of two power lines associated with PPL’s Northeast-Pocono Reliability Project.

Pursuant to the terms of the PPL Agreement, PPL has agreed to purchase BRRE14 for the purchase price of $5,000,000, which shall be paid to the Company at closing, in the event the Company is the owner of BRRE14 on August 1, 2013.

The PPL Agreement further provides that (i) PPL shall acquire the property in an “as-is” condition, with any and all faults, other than representations of title; (ii) the Company will retain gas and oil rights until August 31, 2023; (iii) the Company shall execute the ROW over BRRE14 on or before March 31, 2013, provided that PPL has not exercised its

18

option to terminate the PPL Agreement; (iv) BRRE14 is to be conveyed free and clear of all liens except for the encumbrances, easements and other items of record; (v) closing shall occur on or before August 31, 2013; (vi) the Company and PPL agree that the grant of the ROW encumbers BRRE14 and that any existing development plan for BRRE14 cannot be implemented; (vii) in the event that the Phase 1 Closing does not take place and the Company has already granted the ROW to BRRE14, then PPL agrees to purchase BRRE14; and (viii) PPL certifies that no Public Utility Commission approval is needed to bind PPL to the terms of the PPL Agreement.

On March 26, 2013, the Company granted the ROW over BRRE14 to PPL.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

We have identified the most critical accounting policies upon which our 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, 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.

We 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.

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, dues and deposits on land or home sales. These rents, which are not yet earned are rents from the Companies’ commercial properties that have been paid in advance.  Dues are dues paid in advance related to memberships in the Companies’ hunting and fishing clubs and golf course memberships paid. Revenues related to the hunting and fishing clubs and golf course memberships are recognized over the seasonal 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, 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.

Real estate development projects are stated at cost unless an impairment exists, in which case the project is written down to fair value in accordance with GAAP.  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.  Because the development projects are considered as long-lived assets under GAAP, we are required to regularly review the carrying value of each of the projects and write down the value of those projects when we believe the values are not recoverable.  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 applicable 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.

19

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.  We test for recoverability our 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 utilize either or both a discounted cash flow method or comparable sale pricing method to determine a fair market value.  If our use of one or both of these methods indicates that the carrying value of the asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized in operating income. An impairment loss is the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset less cost to sell.  An impairment loss is recognized during the period in which the impairment is determined to be probable and reasonably estimable.

As part of its ongoing methodology to review the carrying value of certain of its properties, management reviewed the carrying values of the Jack Frost National Golf Course and adjacent land approved for use as a planned residential development.  Based on, among other factors, trends in the local real estate market, management has determined it is likely that the carrying value of the properties has been impaired.  However, management is currently unable to estimate the amount of the impairment, and is undertaking additional measures to provide such an estimate. Management anticipates that it will complete this process, and that the Company will recognize the applicable impairment loss, if any, during the quarter ended July 31, 2013.

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 sponsor a defined benefit pension plan as detailed in footnote 8 to the accompanying unaudited combined financial statements.  The accounting for pension costs 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 calculating pension income.  The pension plan is currently underfunded and, accordingly, the Companies have made contributions to the fund of $564,358 in Fiscal 2012.  The Companies expect to contribute $279,000 to the pension plan in Fiscal 2013.  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 an 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.  There were no outstanding options at April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012.

We 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, 2013 and 2012

Operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 resulted in a net loss of $2,930,464 and $3,500,048, or $1.20 and $1.43  per combined share, respectively, compared to a net loss of $503,419 and $1,006,848, or $0.20 and $0.41 per combined share, for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2012, respectively.

Real Estate Management Operations / Rental Operations revenue was $1,358,930 for the six months ended April 30, 2013, compared to $1,352,877 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, which resulted in an increase of $6,053, or less than 1%.  Rental revenue for the six months ended April 30, 2013 decreased to $888,015 as compared to $898,343 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, a decrease of $10,328, or (1%). This resulted from the termination of the lease for the ski areas that occurred in December 2011, as those facilities were sold.  

Land Resource Management

For the six months ended April 30, 2013, Land Resource Management revenues decreased to $752,869, compared to $1,990,091 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, a decrease of $1,237,222, or (62%).   There were three condominium sales in Boulder Lake Village community totaling $644,500 for the six months ended April 30, 2013, as compared to four condominium sales in Boulder Lake Village community totaling $899,000 and three duplex townhouse sales in Laurelwoods II community totaling $667,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, a decrease of $921,500, or (59%).  For the six months ended April 30, 2013, timbering revenue was $0 as compared to $321,722 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, a decrease of $321,722 or 100%.  The Jack Frost National Golf Course’s revenue for the six months ended April 30, 2013 increased to $76,369 as compared to $61,618 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, an increase of $14,751, or 24%.

Land Resource Management

Operating costs associated with Land Resource Management for the six months ended April 30, 2013 increased to $4,967,624 compared with $2,318,383 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, an increase of $2,649,241, or 114%.  The decrease in cost of goods sold related to real estate development, which was $242,202 for the six months ended April 30, 2013 as compared to $856,253 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, a decrease of $614,051, or 72% and a decrease in real estate development operating expenses, which was $408,014 for the six months ended April 30, 2013 as compared to $849,810 for the six months ended April 2012, a decrease of $441,796 or 52%.  These decreases were the result of three Boulder Lake Village condominium sales for the six months ended April 30, 2013 as compared to three duplex townhouse sales in the Laurelwoods II community and four Boulder Lake Village condominium sales for the six months ended April 30, 2012. Those decreases were offset by an increase in impairment expense of $3,629,300 primarily associated with the Boulder Lake Village condominium project (see footnote 10). The Jack Frost National Golf Course expenses increased by $62,758, or 13% for the six months ended April 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended April 30, 2012 primarily due to increased payroll and related tax and benefit expense ($27,056), repairs and maintenance related to the course and clubhouse ($17,821) and increased cost of goods sold for retail and food operations ($12,177).  There were no timbering contracts for the six months ended April 30, 2013 and two timbering contracts for the six months ended April 30, 2012.  Consulting fees relating to these timber contracts were $0 for the six month ended April 30, 2013 compared to $30,572 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, an decrease of $30,572, which reflects there being $0 timber revenue.

21

General and Administration

General and Administration costs for the six months ended April 30, 2013 increased to $975,322 as compared to $969,088 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, an increase of $6,234, or 1%.  This increase is primarily related to increased supplies and services.

Other Income and Expense

Interest and other income decreased to $2,286 for the six months ended April 30, 2013 compared to $2,941 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, a decrease of $655, or 22%. This was primarily due to decreased interest income. Interest expense for the six months ended April 30, 2013 decreased to $515,966 compared to $599,210 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, a decrease of $83,244, or 14%. Interest expense on our $4,600,000 term note with M&T Bank (the “Bank”) was $0 for the six months ended April 30, 2013 as compared to $14,982 for the six months ended April 30, 2012 for a decrease of $14,982, or 100%.  This note was paid in full on December 15, 2011.  The interest expense on our $3,100,000 available line of credit with the Bank was $57,219 for the six months ended April 30, 2013 as compared to $16,183 for the six months ended April 30, 2012 for an increase of $41,036, or greater than 100%.  The Companies also had a $9,000,000 line of credit with the Bank to fund real estate development which resulted in interest expense related to the completed and unsold units at Boulder Lake Village and Woodsbluff duplexes decreasing to $0 for the six months ended April 30, 2013 as compared to $95,600 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, an decrease of $95,600 or 100%.  

Discontinued Operations

Due to management’s decision to sell the two ski areas and a commercial property, as well as the transfer of one investment property to assets of discontinued operations, the results of operations for these four properties for the six months ended April 30, 2013 and the six months ended April 30, 2012 are being reported as discontinued operations. Future cash flows and operating results for the two ski areas, the commercial property and the investment property are no longer be reported in the Real Estate Management / Rental segment. The gain (loss) resulting from the sale of the three properties is included in discontinued operations.

The net income after taxes from discontinued operations for the Jack in the Box for the six months ended April 30, 2013 was $0 as compared to $8,851 for the six months ended April 30, 2012.

The net profit (loss) after taxes from discontinued operations for the Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder ski areas for the six months ended April 30, 2013 was $0 compared to $5,345 for the six months ended April 30, 2012.

The net loss after taxes from discontinued operations for the Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania investment property for the six months ended April 30, 2013 was $1,421 compared to ($5,545) for the six months ended April 30, 2012.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate for the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 was 34%.  The rate for Fiscal 2012 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 provided by operating activities was $115,429 for the six months ended April 30, 2013 versus $684,568 for the six months ended April 30, 2012.  The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended April 30, 2013 is primarily attributable to decreased sales in land and real estate development.

There were no material non-recurring cash items for the six months ended April 30, 2013.  For the six months ended April 30, 2012 material non-recurring cash items include the sales of Jack Frost Mountain Ski Area for $5,650,000, Big Boulder Ski Area for $3,350,000 and the Jack in the Box for $1,911,419.

On November 30, 2011, the Companies sold the Jack in the Box located in Wallisville, Texas.  A portion of the proceeds from the sale were used to pay off the Deed of Trust and Security Agreement and Real Estate Lien Note held by Barbers Hill Bank in the amount of $1,009,002, which encumbered the property.

On December 15, 2011, the Companies paid the balance outstanding on a Loan Agreement and Term Note (the “Note”) with the Bank in the amount of $4,600,000.  The Companies utilized a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Jack Frost Mountain and the Big Boulder ski areas to pay the balance of the Note.  

22

The Companies had a $9,000,000 line of credit with the Bank to fund real estate development with a construction sublimit of $4,400,000 and site development sublimit of $4,600,000.  The Companies utilized a portion of the proceeds from the sale of nine Boulder Lake Village condominium units, three Laurelwoods II duplex units and the sale of the ski areas to repay $2,585,167 and $2,917,521 on the Construction and Site Development sublimits, respectively, during Fiscal 2012.  The remaining balance on the Construction sublimit $653,964 was transferred to the general line of credit in an effort to consolidate debt.  During the six months ended April 30, 2013 proceeds from the sale of the three remaining Boulder Lake Village condominiums were used to repay $604,496 on the general line of credit.  At October 31, 2012, $0 was outstanding on each of the Construction and Site Development sublimits, respectively and the $9,000,000 line of credit has expired.

The Companies also have a $3,100,000 line of credit with the Bank for general operations.  At April 30, 2013, $2,307,843 was outstanding on the $3,100,000 line at a 5.5% interest rate.

The Companies continue to maintain an interest reserve account which was established in the third quarter of Fiscal 2009 as security for the payment of interest.  The balance of the interest reserve escrow account was $45,099 at April 30, 2013.

The existing loan agreement requires, among other things, that the Companies comply annually 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, 2012 and have obtained waivers from the Bank for this covenant.

The following table sets forth the Companies’ significant contractual cash obligations for the items indicated as of April 30, 2013:

(1)

The variable rate interest is calculated based on the outstanding balances and the interest rate in effect as of April 30, 2013.

The pension contribution obligations are for Fiscal 2013.  Estimated funding obligations beyond the current fiscal year are not presented because the requirements fluctuate based on the performance of the plan assets, discount rate assumptions and demographics.

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 sales. 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.

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, 2013, we had $2,307,843 of variable rate indebtedness, representing 14% of our total debt outstanding, at an average rate of 5.50% (calculated as of April 30, 2013).  Our average interest rate is based on our operating line of credit facility 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.

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 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 in the reports that we file 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 our management, including the Companies’ principal executive and principal financial officer, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide 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 Companies’ 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.

(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.
