DEFERRED AND UNREALIZED GAINS, NOT YET REPORTED.
Due to Generally Accepted Accounting Practices, gains on real estate sold under contract
are deferred until payments on the contract are received, and the Company home office is
only included at our cost, less depreciation, not at current market value.
At April 30, 2008, there was
$2,318,688 in deferred gains, and
$1,458,938 market value of the Company home office in excess of cost.
If these assets were included and adjusted for normal taxes and sales costs,
the Book Value of outstanding shares would increase from
$3.305 per share to $3.917.
