The Company was expecting to give back, in the third quarter, some of
the increased profits earned in the preceding six months and were pleased
to find that this did not happen. Almost all of the hotels damaged in
Hurricane Georges in September 1998 are now back in the market but we are
still maintaining our market share during the busy winter season. At this
point we have no indications that this favorable situation will materially
change through the next quarter. Expenses and payroll have remained well
controlled and we are looking forward to a record breaking year.
As mentioned in earlier reports the Company has eliminated all long
term debt and interest expense due to the strong cash flows generated from
operations.
The Company's primary source of working capital is from funds provided
from operations. Working capital increased over the nine month period by
$2,524,195 and all long term debt has been repaid. The Company believes
that it's excess cash from operations will be sufficient to finance it's
long and short term capital needs including the payment of accrued
dividends.
