NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  The combined financial statements include the accounts of Blue Ridge
Real Estate Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Northeast Land 
Company, Jack Frost Mountain Company and BRRE Holdings, Inc.) and Big
Boulder Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Lake Mountain
Company and BBC Holdings, Inc.).  In the opinion of Management, the
accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial statements contain 
all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary
to present fairly the financial position as of November 30, 1995, and the
results of operations and the statements of cash flows for the six month
periods ended November 30, 1995 and 1994.

2.  The results of operations for the three and six months are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected or the full year
since the Companies' two ski facilities operate principally during the 
months of December through March.  Costs and expenses net of revenues
received in advance attributable to the ski facilities for the months 
of June through November are deferred and recognized as revenue  and 
operating expenses, ratably, over the operating period.

3.  The credit for income taxes for the six months ended November 30,
1995 and 1994 represents the allocation of the estimated annual effective
tax rate for the 12 months ending May 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

4.	In September 1985, the companies obtained two loans for capital
improvement at both ski areas.  These loans will mature in September
1997.  The companies are in the process of refinancing to extend the
maturity date until 2005.  This transaction will be completed during
the second quarter.

Operating costs, exclusive of General and Administrative, increased
by $131,009 during the first six months of Fiscal 1996, as compared
to the same period in 1995.  This was due to increased expense in our 
recreational activities and resale of homes.  The increases were
offset with decreases in our property management, land parcel 
development, and rental operations.

General and Administrative expenses for the first six months of Fiscal
1996 as compared to the same period in 1995, increased by $5,568,
primarily because of compensation.

Interest expense for the first six months of Fiscal 1996, as compared
to the same period in 1995, decreased by $4,693 because of changes in
the prime rate.

Operating costs, exclusive of General and Administrative, increased by
$9,125 during the Second Quarter of Fiscal 1996 as compared to the same
period in 1995.  This was due to increased expense in our recreational
activities, property management and resale of homes.  The increases
were offset with decreases in rental operations, investment properties
and land parcel development.

General and Administrative expenses for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 
1996 as compared to the same period in 1995, increased by $4,289,
primarily because of compensation.

Interest expense for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 1996, as compared to
the same period in 1995, decreased by $6,833 because of changes in the
prime rate.

The effective income tax rate for the First Half of Fiscal 1996 of 38%, 
as compared to 37% for Fiscal Year 1995.  State taxes account primarily
for the Fiscal 1996 and 1995 effective rate being greater than the
federal statutory rate of 34%.

	

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Working capital as of November 30, 1995 decreased by $642,695 compared
to May 31, 1995.  This was due principally to an increase in deferred 
ski area operating costs, addition to properties, and repayment of 
long-term debt.

The change in the balances of accounts receivable, deferred operating
costs and accrued liabilities from May 31, 1995 to November 30, 1995 was
due primarily to revenue and expenses that are applicable to the ski
facilities, which are deferred and recognized ratably during the months 
of December through March.

Moving Forward

Capital expenditures planned for Fiscal 1996 include expansion of our 
Tubing Hill at Jack Frost Mountain and building a complete Tubing
facility at Big Boulder.  The Companies have adequate capital resources
to fund these projects.

Due to the weak real estate market in the companies' location, the
development of packaged parcels of land has been delayed.  The direct
sale, joint venture or development through our own Company efforts of
these parcels is expected to enhance the profitability of the
Companies.
