BUSINESS  Blue Ridge Real Estate Company  Blue Ridge Real Estate Company, Blue Ridge, was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1911 and is believed to be one of the largest owners of investment property in Northeastern Pennsylvania.  It owns 16,013 acres of land that are predominately located in the Pocono Mountains.  Of this acreage, 11,022 acres are held for investment, 4,587 are held for development and 404 acres are held for recreation.  Income is derived from these lands through leases, selective timbering by third parties, sales, and other dispositions. Included in the properties owned by Blue Ridge are: a commercial property, which is currently leased to a motel operator; a shopping center; four residential investment properties; theJack Frost National Golf Course; and the Jack Frost Mountain Ski Area, which is currently leased to JFBB Ski Areas, Inc., an affiliate of Peak Resorts.  Blue Ridge also owns four retail stores, one of which is leased to Wal-Mart, two of which are leased to Walgreen Company, and one of which is leased to Jack in the Box.All of these investment properties are more fully described under Item 2 below. Jack Frost Mountain Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Ridge, was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1980 and commenced operations on June 1, 1981.  It was created to lease and operate the Jack Frost Mountain Ski Area and to provide certain services to other facilities, such as the Snow Ridge resort community, and to operate recreational facilities located within the Jack Frost Mountain tract. The lease between Blue Ridge and Jack Frost Mountain Company for the Jack Frost Mountain Ski Area was terminated on November 30, 2005. On December 1, 2005, Blue Ridge entered into a 28-year lease with JFBB Ski Areas Inc., an unrelated party and an affiliate of Peak Resorts, for the lease of the Jack Frost Mountain Ski  2

Area.  Pursuant to the terms of this lease, JFBB Ski Areas Inc. operates the Jack Frost Mountain Ski Area and makes monthly lease payments to Blue Ridge during the ski season (January to April).  Leasing the ski facilities to JFBB Ski Areas Inc., as opposed to continuing to operate it through one of our subsidiaries, has allowed us to focus additional resources on real estate development at our current and proposed resort communities.  Revenue generated by this lease is included in the Real Estate Management/Rental Operations business segment. Northeast Land Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Ridge, was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1967. The primary asset of this subsidiary consists of 93 acres of land in Northeast Pennsylvania.  Revenue for Northeast Land Company is derived from real estate commissions for the sale of homes at these resort communities, trust and condominium fees for services to these resort communities and property leases.  Effective October 1, 2006, Mountain Resort Villas, an unrelated party and an affiliate of Appletree Management Group, Inc. purchased certain property management and rental management contracts from Northeast Land Company.  Mountain Resort Villas currently leases certain buildings from the Companies for use in the operation and maintenance of Northeast Land Companys former rental program. BRRE Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Ridge, was incorporated in Delaware in 1986.  It was established for investment purposes. Moseywood Construction Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Ridge, was incorporated in Pennsylvania in May 2003 and commenced operations in November 2003. It is primarily focused on facilitating land development and expanding our real estate sales division. Boulder Creek Resort Company was incorporated in Pennsylvania in December 2004.  It was created with the ultimate goal of consolidating our branding and marketing our properties in the Pocono Mountains as a single resort destination.

As of December 31, 2007, Blue Ridge employed 13 full-time employees, Northeast Land Company had one full-time employee and Moseywood Construction Company had six full-time employees. As a result of the leasing of the Jack Frost Mountain Ski Area to JFBB Ski Areas, Inc. in December 2005, Jack Frost Mountain Company no longer has any employees. Big Boulder Corporation Big Boulder Corporation, Big Boulder, was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1949. Big Boulders primary asset is 865 acres of land, which includes a 175-acre lake, the Big Boulder Ski Area, and the Mountains Edge Restaurant. Of the 865 acres, 369 acres are held for investment, 386 acres are held for development and 110 acres are held for recreation. The principal source of revenue for Big Boulder is derived from the sale of residential homes and real estate in close proximity to the Big Boulder Ski Area.  The Big Boulder Ski Area is currently leased to JFBB Ski Areas, Inc. Lake Mountain Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Big Boulder, was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1983 and commenced operations on June 1, 1983.  It was created to lease and operate the Big Boulder Ski Area and operate the recreational facilities that are located within the Big Boulder Lake tract. The lease between Big Boulder and Lake Mountain Company for the Big Boulder Ski Area was terminated on November 30, 2005. On December 1, 2005, Big Boulder also entered into a 28-year lease with JFBB Ski Areas Inc. for the lease of the Big Boulder Ski Area.  Pursuant to the terms of the lease, JFBB Ski Areas Inc. operates the Big Boulder Ski Area and makes monthly lease payments to Big Boulder during the ski season (January to April).  Leasing the ski facilities to JFBB Ski Areas Inc., as opposed to continuing to operate it through one of our subsidiaries, has allowed us to focus additional resources on real estate development at our current and proposed resort communities.  Revenue generated by this lease is included in the Real Estate Management/Rental Operations business segment. The Lake Mountain Sports Club includes the recreational facilities at Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder Lake.  Effective March 30, 2007, we entered into a long-term lease for the operation of these facilities with Appletree Management Group.  Revenue generated by this operation is now included in the Real Estate Management/Rental Operations business segment. BBC Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Big Boulder, was incorporated in Delaware in 1986. It was established for investment purposes. Big Boulder has no employees. Strategy Since the early 1980s, we have developed four residential communities in close proximity to our Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder Ski Area resorts.  Our resorts are located in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, an area which offers year-round regional tourist appeal and a quiet, relaxing vacation environment. We believe the current and future real estate market in the Pocono Mountains is experiencing, and in the near future will continue to experience, an increase in buyer interest.  This interest is partially attributable to current moderate mortgage interest rates and an uncertain  4

economy that may be facilitating more regional tourist destinations.  We expect that the construction of more homes closer to our resorts will result in an increase in tourist traffic.  We own 16,970 acres of land in Northeastern Pennsylvania.  Of our core land holdings, we have designated 4,973 acres as held for development and are moving forward with governmental approvals relating to such development.  We believe that our primary focus should be on the construction of single and multi-family dwellings in proximity to our ski areas.  It is expected that all of the planned developments will result in approximately 3,700 lots or units, some of which will be subdivided and sold as parcels of land, while others will be developed into single and multi-family housing. We are constructing Phase I and II of the Laurelwoods Community of single family and multi-family homes and a condominium building project at Boulder Lake Village on Big Boulder Lake.  We are also moving forward with plans to develop additional residential communities near the Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder Ski Areas.  This is part of a comprehensive plan relating to our core land development in and around these two ski areas. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, or Fiscal 2008, we intend to continue selective sales and purchases of land, some of which may be treated as 1031 tax deferred exchanges under the Internal Revenue Code.  We are also taking various steps to attract new home and land sale customers.  For example, purchasers who want to purchase newly constructed single family homes in our Laurelwoods II community development and can make a down payment of at least 20%, have the option of financing their mortgage through Big Boulder Corporation with interest only payments for five years.  We are also offering to the purchasers of the Laurelwoods II single family and duplex townhomes $8,000 toward the payment of such purchasers closing costs, prepaid dues for one year membership with the Lake Mountain Club and complimentary passes to the Jack Frost National Golf Course.  We are also offering to pay six months of homeowners association fees on behalf of any current homeowner in the Blue Heron, Midlake Condominium, Laurelwoods Community and Snow Ridge Village developments that provide a purchaser referral which results in the sale of a Laurelwoods II single family home.  We are also offering financing opportunities for the purchase of selected tracts of land. We also continue to generate revenue through the selective timbering of our land.  The selection of parcels for such timbering activity is based upon our current real estate development activities. The Jack Frost National Golf Course opened the first nine holes for resort play on April 20, 2007, followed by remaining nine holes on May 18, 2007.  Construction of the temporary clubhouse has been completed and it opened to guests on August 11, 2007. We are in various stages of approval for the community surrounding the Jack Frost National Golf Course.  The community is expected to include approximately 1,100 homes and will be comprised of approximately 40% single family homes and 60% multi-family units, as well as golf club amenities and the necessary infrastructure. We also expect that certain subdivisions may be sold outright in phases to nationally-recognized land developers in order to facilitate the market for housing and to reduce the inherent risk associated with any land development.  5

We currently operate two real estate sales offices: Jack Frost-Big Boulder Real Estate and Stoney Run Realty.  Jack Frost-Big Boulder Real Estate is located in Lake Harmony, Pennsylvania and markets new and previously owned homes in and around our resort communities primarily to buyers seeking a second home.  The Stoney Run Realty office is located in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania and offers custom-built, single family homes in the Pocono region.  These homes primarily attract customers from nearby metropolitan areas in Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey.  All of these custom-built homes are built by our construction division, Moseywood Construction Company. Business Segments We currently operate in three business segments, which consist of the Real Estate Management/Rental Operations, Summer Recreational Operations and Land Resource Management segments. Beginning inFiscal 2005, we began reporting ski operation activity as a discontinued operation.  Our business segments were determined from our internal organization and management reporting, which are based primarily on differences in services.  Financial information about our segments can be found in note 16 to our audited financial statements. Real Estate Management/Rental Operations Real Estate Management/Rental Operations consists of: investment properties leased to others located in Eastern Pennsylvania, South Carolina, New Jersey, Minnesota, Louisiana and Texas; a custom home construction division; recreational club activities and services to the trusts that operate resort residential communities; sales of investment properties; and rental of land, which includes the leasing of the Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder Ski Areas. Summer Recreation Operations Summer Recreation Operations consists of the Jack Frost National Golf Course, which opened in the spring of 2007.  The Lake Mountain Club was previously reported as part of this business segment, but is now reported under Real Estate Management/Rental Operation as a result of this operation being leased to a third party operator in March 2007. Land Resource Management Land Resource Management consists of land sales, land purchases, timbering operations and a real estate development division.  Timbering operations consist of selective timbering on our land holdings.  Contracts are entered into for parcels which have had the timber selectively marked.  We rely on the advice of our forester for the timing and selection of certain parcels for timbering whereby significant attention is given to protecting the environment and retaining the value of these parcels for future timber harvests.  The real estate development division is responsible for the residential land development activities which include overseeing the construction of single and multi-family homes and development of infrastructure. Funds expended to date for real estate development have been primarily related to infrastructure improvements in the Laurelwoods Community and Boulder Lake Village and the construction of 22 of 23 planned single family homes and four of 44 planned duplex homes in the Laurelwoods Community.  We also began construction of an 18-unit condominium building  6


Table of Contents


at Boulder Lake Village, during the summer of 2007.  Other expenditures for development projects include fees for architects, engineers, consultants, studies and permits. Competition Our Real Estate Management/Rental Operations segment faces competition from similar retail centers that are near our retail properties with respect to the renewal of leases and re-letting of space as leases expire.  Any new competitive properties that are developed close to our existing properties may impact our ability to lease space to creditworthy tenants.  Increased competition for tenants may require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise planned to make, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Planned Real Estate Development During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, or Fiscal 2007, we actively pursued land sales and purchases.  For Fiscal 2008, management intends to continue selective sales and purchases of land, some of which may be treated as Section 1031 tax deferred exchanges under the Internal Revenue Code.  We are also taking various steps to attract new home and land sale customers.  For example, purchasers who want to purchase newly constructed single family homes in our Laurelwoods II community development and can make a down payment of at least 20%, have the option of financing their mortgage through Big Boulder Corporation with interest only payments for five years.  We are also offering to the purchasers of the Laurelwoods II single family and duplex townhomes $8,000 toward the payment of such purchasers closing costs, prepaid dues for one year membership with the Lake Mountain Club and complimentary passes to the Jack Frost National Golf Course.  We are also offering to pay six months of homeowners association fees on behalf of any current homeowner in the Blue Heron, Midlake Condominium, Laurelwoods Community and Snow Ridge Village developments that provide a purchaser referral which results in the sale of a Laurelwoods II single family home.  We are also offering financing opportunities for the purchase of selected tracts of land. We are constructing Phase I and II of the Laurelwoods II Community of single family and multi-family homes and a condominium building project at Boulder Lake Village on Big Boulder Lake.  We are also moving forward with plans to develop additional residential communities near the Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder Ski Areas.  This is part of a comprehensive plan relating to our core land development in and around these two ski areas. We completed development of the Jack Frost National Golf Course in the spring of 2007.  During the first season, the golf course was managed by a nationally recognized golf course developer who provided various services for the operation of our golf course under the terms of a management contract.  This management contract was terminated in November 2007.  On December 1, 2007, we entered into a three-year management agreement with another nationally recognized golf course management company. We are in various stages of approval for the community surrounding the Jack Frost National Golf Course.  This community is expected to include approximately 1,100 homes and will be comprised of approximately 40% single family homes and 60% multi-family units, as well as golf club amenities and the necessary infrastructure.  7

We have completed infrastructure improvements to construction Phase I and Phase II of the Laurelwoods II Community residential development. During Fiscal 2007, home construction progressed on Phase I of the Laurelwoods II Community, which has been approved for 23 single family homes. Of the planned units, 22 units have been completed, 14 of these completed units have been sold, one unit is pending under an Agreement of Sale, seven remaining completed units are still for sale, and construction has not yet started on the remaining one unit.  Municipal approval for the construction of 44 duplex and 22 single units in Phase II of the Laurelwoods II Community has been received.  Construction on four duplex units was completed in November 2007, all of which are for sale.  Sales reservations are currently being accepted for the remaining planned duplex units. We have also received municipal approval for the construction of 144 condominium units at Boulder Lake Village.  During Fiscal 2007, construction began on condominium building J at Boulder Lake Village.  We anticipate the construction will be completed in the late summer of 2008.  Sales reservations are currently being accepted for these condominium units, as well. Executive Officers of the Registrant Name and TitleAgeOffice Held SincePatrick M. Flynn

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS Our business faces significant risks. Some of the following risks relate principally to our business and the industry and statutory and regulatory environment in which we operate. Other risks relate principally to the securities markets and ownership of our stock. The risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risk factors actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry Future changes in the real estate market could affect the value of our investments. We have extensive real estate holdings near our mountain resorts and elsewhere in the United States.  The value of our real property and the revenue from related development activities may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including: · unexpected construction costs or delays; · government regulations and changes in real estate, zoning, land use, environmental or tax laws; · attractiveness of the properties to prospective purchasers and tenants; · local real estate conditions (such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in an area); · competition from other available property or space; · potential liabilities under environmental and other laws; · our ability to obtain adequate insurance; · interest rate levels and the availability of financing; and · national and local economic climate. Our future growth and real estate development requires additional capital whose availability is not assured. We intend to make significant investments in our resorts and rental properties to maintain our competitive position. We spent $1,554,955 for Fiscal 2007, $16,161,350 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, or Fiscal 2006, and $23,026,394 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005, or Fiscal 2005; respectively. The expenditures for Fiscal 2007 were primarily related to the Jack Frost National Golf Course, the Jack Frost sewage treatment plant, and other general infrastructure and construction costs related to real estate development.  The capital expenditures for Fiscal 2006 were primarily related to real estate development and the section 1031 tax deferred exchange of the Oxbridge Square Shopping Center and the subsequent purchase of a commercial property currently leased to a motel operator and three retail stores.  The capital expenditures for Fiscal 2005 were primarily related to our now-discontinued ski operations.  We expect to continue to make substantial investments in real estate development. For Fiscal 2008, we anticipate capital expenditures will be in excess of $4,000,000 for real estate development.  Based on the status of several specific real estate projects, we will continue to invest significant  9


Table of Contents


amounts in real estate over the next several years. We could finance future expenditures from any of the following sources: · cash flow from operations; · bank borrowings; · public offerings of debt or equity; · private placements of debt or equity; · non-recourse, sale leaseback or other financing; or · some combination of the above. We might not be able to obtain financing for future expenditures on favorable terms or at all. Competition and market conditions relating to our real estate management operations could adversely affect our operating results. We face competition from similar retail centers that are near our retail properties with respect to the renewal of leases and re-letting of space as leases expire. Any new competitive properties that are developed close to our existing properties also may impact our ability to lease space to creditworthy tenants. Increased competition for tenants may require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise planned to make. Any unbudgeted capital improvements could adversely affect our results of operations. Also, to the extent we are unable to renew leases or re-let space as leases expire, it would result in decreased cash flow from tenants and adversely affect our results of operations. Our retail properties are subject to adverse market conditions such as population trends and changing demographics, income, sales and property tax laws, availability and costs of financing, construction costs and weather conditions that may increase energy costs, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations. If the sales of stores operating at our properties were to decline significantly due to economic conditions, the risk that our tenants will be unable to fulfill the terms of their leases or will enter into bankruptcy may increase. Economic and market conditions have a substantial impact on the performance of our anchor and other tenants and may impact the ability of our tenants to make lease payments and to renew their leases. If, as a result of such tenant difficulties, our properties do not generate sufficient income to meet our operating expenses, including debt service, our results of operations would be adversely affected. We are subject to risks with respect to the development of a golf course at Jack Frost Mountain prior to having firm contracts from builders to purchase any of the residential lots in the surrounding golf course community. We have completed of the construction of the Jack Frost National Golf Course.  While we currently have interest from nationally-recognized home builders for the development of a surrounding community, we do not have any firm offers from any of the interested builders.  As a result, we may consider developing a portion of the residential community on our own, and possibly in conjunction with the sale of some lots to other builders.  There are risks associated with developing a residential community, including potential changes in the real estate market, delays in construction due to adverse weather conditions, changes in the economy and changes in interest rates, which we may be subject to because we developed the golf course prior to having  10

firm contracts with home builders and which could have a material adverse effect on us and our results of operations. Changes in regional and national economic conditions could adversely affect our results of operations. The real estate development industry is cyclical in nature and is particularly vulnerable to shifts in regional and national economic conditions.  Resort vacation unit rental and ownership is a discretionary activity entailing relatively high costs, and any decline in the regional or national economies where we operate could adversely impact our real estate sales and revenues.  Accordingly, our financial condition could be adversely affected by any weakening in the regional or national economy. Our business is subject to heavy environmental and land use regulation. We are subject to a wide variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to land use and development and to environmental compliance and permitting obligations, including those related to the use, storage, discharge, emission and disposal of hazardous materials.  Any failure to comply with these laws could result in capital or operating expenditures or the imposition of severe penalties or restrictions on our operations that could adversely affect our present and future resort operations and real estate development.  In addition, these laws and regulations could change in a manner that materially and adversely affects our ability to conduct our business or to implement desired expansions and improvements to our facilities. We are subject to litigation in the ordinary course of business. We are, from time to time, subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted. Any such claims, whether with or without merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to defend and could divert managements attention and resources. While management believes we have adequate insurance coverage and accrued loss contingencies for all known matters, we cannot assure that the outcome of all current or future litigation will not have a material adverse effect on us. Implementation of existing and future legislation, rulings, standards and interpretations from the FASB or other regulatory bodies could affect the presentation of our financial statements and related disclosures. Future regulatory requirements could significantly change our current accounting practices and disclosures. Such changes in the presentation of our financial statements and related disclosures could change your interpretation or perception of our financial position and results of operations. If we are unable to retain our key executive personnel and hire additional personnel as required, our business and prospects for growth could suffer. We believe that our operations and future development are dependent upon the continued services of our key executive personnel.  Moreover, we believe our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled management employees.  11

If one or more members of our management team or other key personnel become unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions and if additional key personnel cannot be hired as needed, our business and prospects for growth could be materially adversely affected. The cyclical nature of the forest products industry could adversely affect our timbering operations. Our results of operations are affected by the cyclical nature of the forest products industry.  Historical prices for logs and wood products have been volatile, and we, like other participants in the forest products industry, have limited direct influence over the time and extent of price changes for logs and wood products. The demand for logs and wood products is affected primarily by the level of new residential construction activity and, to a lesser extent, repair and remodeling activity and other industrial uses. The demand for logs is also affected by the demand for wood chips in the pulp and paper markets. These activities are, in turn, subject to fluctuations due to, among other factors: · changes in domestic and international economic conditions; · interest rates; · population growth and changing demographics; and · seasonal weather cycles (e.g., dry summers, wet winters). Decreases in the level of residential construction activity generally reduce demand for logs and wood products. This results in lower revenues, profits and cash flows in our timbering operations segment. In addition, industry-wide increases in the supply of logs and wood products during favorable price environments can also lead to downward pressure on prices. Timber owners generally increase production volumes for logs and wood products during favorable price environments. Such increased production, however, when coupled with even modest declines in demand for these products in general, could lead to oversupply and lower prices. We may be unable to timely comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act relating to the assessment by us and our independent registered public accounting firm of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, which could adversely affect our business. As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the companys internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports on Form 10-K. In addition, the public accounting firm auditing the companys financial statements must attest to and report on managements assessment of the effectiveness of the companys internal controls over financial reporting. We expect that the requirement relating to the report of management will first apply to our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending October 31, 2008 and that the requirement relating to the public accounting firms attestation to such management report will first apply to our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending October 31, 2009.  If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting as of October 31, 2008 or, if our independent auditors are unable to provide us with an unqualified report as to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of October 31, 2009 and future year ends as required by Section 404  12

of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the value of our securities. We are a small company with limited resources.  We will have to improve internal controls as they relate tothe matters described in the next risk factor.  Given the status of our efforts, coupled with the fact that guidance from regulatory authorities in the area of internal controls continues to evolve, substantial uncertainty exists regarding our ability to comply with applicable deadlines. Risks Related to Our Common Stock The exercise of outstanding options may dilute your ownership of our common stock. As of January 28, 2008, options to acquire 64,600 shares of our common stock were outstanding; approximately 34,738 shares are exercisable at per share prices ranging from $34.00 to $39.00, with a weighted average exercise price of $35.97. We do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock. Although we have previously declared and paid dividends on our common stock in the past, we do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain any future earnings to finance the continued expansion and development of our business. As a result, our dividend policy could depress the market price for our common stock. We are effectively controlled by Kimco Realty Services, Inc., and other shareholders have little ability to influence our business. As of January 28, 2008, Kimco Realty Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kimco Realty Corporation, owned at least 1,425,154 shares, or approximately 58% of our outstanding voting stock. Kimco Realty Services is able to exercise significant control over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate action, such as mergers and other business combination transactions.  This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control over us unless it is supported by Kimco Realty Services.  Accordingly, your ability to influence us through voting your shares is very limited. Michael J. Flynn, the Chairman of our board of directors, is also President, Chief Operating Officer and Vice Chairman of the board of directors of Kimco Realty Corporation.  In addition, Patrick M. Flynn, who serves as one of our directors and is our President and Chief Executive Officer, is the Director of Real Estate at Kimco Realty Corporation.  Finally, Milton Cooper, who serves as one of our directors, also serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors of Kimco Realty Corporation. Our common stock is thinly traded. Our stock price may fluctuate more than the stock market as a whole. As a result of the thin trading market for our stock, its market price may fluctuate significantly more than the stock market as a whole or the stock prices of similar companies.  Of the 2,450,424 shares of our common stock outstanding as of January 28, 2008, approximately  13

42% are beneficially owned by persons other than Kimco Realty Services, our controlling shareholder.  Without a larger float, our common stock will be less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership, and, as a result, the trading prices for our common stock may be more volatile. Among other things, trading of a relatively small volume of our common stock may have a greater impact on the trading price for our stock than would be the case if our public float were larger. Our shareholders may perceive a conflict of interest because we do not currently maintain a fully independent audit committee. Our audit committee is made up of four individuals: Bruce F. Beaty, Eldon D. Dietterick, Patrick M. Flynn and Michael J. Flynn.  Mr. Beaty is the only independent member of the audit committee.  Mr. Dietterick is our Executive Vice-President and Treasurer.  Messrs. Patrick Flynn and Michael Flynn serve as members of our board of directors and are also employed by Kimco Realty Corporation, the parent company of Kimco Realty Services, Inc.  Although we are exempt from regulations mandating an independent audit committee, our shareholders may perceive a conflict of interest because of the nature of the relationships of certain members of the audit committee.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES None.   ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. 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 by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We 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.  17
