The effects of Hurricane Georges in September 1998 continue to
dominate the financial comparisons and results of the Company. The highly
competitive market that had existed prior to the hurricane was replaced by
one in which some direct competitors closed ( and in some cases have not
reopened) and pressure on rates disappeared. As the competitive situation
is now returning to normal and the influx of hurricane relief personnel
will not be repeated this year the best we can hope for in the second half
of the year is not to give back too much of the substantial gains we have
made in our profits. Expenses have remained well controlled and we are
confident that we can maintain a high level of profitability through the
upcoming winter season.
The Company's primary source of working capital is from funds provided
from operations. Working capital increased over the six month period by
$1,148,145 and, as mentioned above, 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.
The Company's Accounting, Property Management System, Electronic
Keys, and stock registration systems are Y2K compliant and we have almost
completed replacement of our telephone equipment. We are on-line with the
Best Western reservations system which is, to our understanding, fully
compliant. Mechanical equipment is still being evaluated but we do not
consider our exposure to be material.
