As reported in the previous filing the Company had experienced a
dramatic turnaround following the arrival of Hurricane Georges on September
21,1998. The brutally competitive market that had existed prior to the
hurricane was converted into a very favorable operating climate as
several of our competitors closed due to damage or economic factors. In
addition the lobby renovation is almost complete making the hotel more
attractive and easier to sell. As a result the hotel had a record net
income for the third quarter in spite of having to reserve for a potential
bad debt of almost $40,000. Payroll and other expense remained well
controlled and the prognosis for the fourth quarter appears excellent.
The Company's Accounting, Property Management System, Electronic Keys
and stock registration systems are Y2K compliant and we anticipate
replacing our telephone system during this year. Mechanical equipment
does not, in the opinion of management, represent a significant exposure.
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
$205,091 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.
