IMPORTANT ADVISORY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report and the documents incorporated into this report contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PSLRA"), including, but not limited to, statements relating to the company's business objectives and strategy. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, management beliefs, certain assumptions made by the company's management, and estimates and projections about the company's industry. Words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "forecasts," "is likely," "predicts," "projects," "judgment," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict with respect to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those expressed, forecasted, or contemplated by any such forward-looking statements.

Factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following: early terminations of existing golf course management agreements; the company's ability to expand its golf management business; general demand for the company's services or products, intense competition from other golf course managers and residential developers/builders; the company's limited cash flow from operations; changes in laws and regulations affecting the company and/or its services; the outcomes of future litigation and contingencies; trends in the golf and housing industry; changes in local, national and international economies; local and global uncertainties created by the terrorist acts of September 11 and the current war against terrorism; and risks inherent in and associated with doing business in a recreational and/or interest rate sensitive industry. Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.

Unless required by law, the company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, readers should carefully review the risk factors set forth in other reports or documents that the company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), particularly Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB and any Current Reports on Form 8-K.


PART I

Description of Business

 
(a)
Business Development

Landmark Land Company, Inc. (the "company"): Landmark Land Company, Inc. is a Delaware corporation that, prior to October 1991, was in the business of real estate development and sales, including owning and operating a number of resort golf courses and tennis clubs, as well as owning a savings bank, a mortgage banking company, a life insurance company, and other financial services companies. Substantially all of the company's operations were owned and its businesses conducted by subsidiaries of Oak Tree Savings Bank, S.S.B. ("OTSB"), Landmark's savings bank subsidiary headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana.

In 1991, as a result of regulations and requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA"), the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") seized substantially all of the company's assets and transferred them to a newly chartered federal thrift institution in which the company and its shareholders had no interest. Subsequent to this seizure, the company had little operational activity and extremely limited capital resources and liquidity. Between 1991 and March 2002, the company was essentially dormant, except for the pursuit of a lawsuit captioned Landmark Land Company, Inc. v. United States (Case No. 95-502-C in the United States Court of Federal Claims). The suit included claims by the company for breach of contract, restitution, and deprivation of property without just compensation or due process of law.

During 2000, the company was awarded a judgment against the United States in the above-referenced suit in the amount of $21,458,571, which judgment was affirmed on appeal in July of 2001. A further appeal period expired during the first quarter of 2002 without a further appeal being filed and the company received the full amount of the judgment in March 2002. After settling a number of outstanding claims, the company began to pursue golf and real estate management and development opportunities through the formation or acquisition of subsidiaries as discussed below.

Landmark of Spain, Inc.: In February 2003, the company formed Landmark of Spain, Inc., a Delaware corporation, owned 100% by the company. In March 2003, Landmark of Spain, Inc. and a local Spanish entity formed a new Spanish company, Landmark Developments of Spain, S.L. to pursue real estate development opportunities in Spain and Portugal. Landmark of Spain, Inc. owns 50% of the Spanish company and accounts for its investments on the equity method. Landmark of Spain, Inc. has invested approximately 1,000,000€ ($1,250,587 at time of funding) in Landmark Developments of Spain, S.L. as of December 31, 2006. Landmark Developments of Spain, S.L. is currently managing the Arcos Gardens golf and real estate development located near the town of Arcos in the Andalucia region of Spain. This development is centered around a recently completed championship golf course designed by the company and the project is planned, upon build-out, to feature a hotel and approximately 525 residential units. The first phase of the hotel, first 80 residential units and the first 47 single-family homesites are nearing completion.

DPMG, Inc.: Effective August 31, 2003, the company acquired all the outstanding stock of KES, Inc., an Ohio corporation that owned directly or indirectly 100% of DPMG, Inc. (“DPMG”) and three other subsidiaries, the primary assets of which consisted of interests in undeveloped land and golf and real estate management and development contracts.

Effective June 30, 2004, KES, Inc. and its other subsidiaries, were merged into DPMG, Inc. in a tax-free reorganization under Internal Revenue Code Section 368.

South Padre Island Development, LLC: On October 1, 2004, the company's wholly-owned subsidiary, DPMG, Inc., acquired South Padre Island Development, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("South Padre"). South Padre is the owner of South Padre Island Golf Club and its related residential lot and housing development activities in the Town of Laguna Vista, Cameron County, Texas. The details of such purchase were discussed in the company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 which was filed on March 30, 2005, as well as the company’s Form 8-K which was filed on October 7, 2004. On June 1, 2006, the company converted South Padre Island Development, L.P. to South Padre Island Development, LLC. Effective August 31, 2006, DPMG transferred its 100% member interest in South Padre to the company.



Apes Hill Development SRL: In December 2005, the company’s newly formed subsidiary, LML Caribbean, Ltd., entered into an agreement with C.O. Williams Investments Inc., an affiliate of a large general contractor in Barbados, for the formation of Apes Hill Development SRL (“Apes Hill”). A copy of the Members’ Agreement for Apes Hill Development SRL was attached to the company’s Form 10KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005, filed March 23, 2006. Since its formation, Apes Hill has purchased approximately 470 acres in Barbados for $12,000,000 on which it is planning to develop a golf course, hotel and approximately 375 residential lots and/or units. The company indirectly owns 33-1/3% of Apes Hill and, since the beginning of 2006, has invested approximately $4,000,000 in such entity. Apes Hill has negotiated financing from a local lender in the amount of $34,700,000 for the development of the golf course, infrastructure and initial residential phases of the project, all of which were begun in 2006.

Presidential Golf Club, LLC: In December, 2005, the company’s subsidiary, DPMG Inc. entered into a limited liability company agreement with V.O.B. Limited Partnership (“V.O.B.”), the owner and developer of the approximately 1,200 acre Beechtree residential development located near Upper Marlboro, Maryland (a suburb of Washington, D.C.). Each of V.O.B. and DPMG Inc. own 50% of Presidential Golf Club, LLC (“Presidential”). V.O.B. contributed approximately 350 acres of real property to Presidential and each of V.O.B. and DPMG Inc. have agreed to contribute up to $700,000 in equity for the development of an 18-hole championship golf course. V.O.B. has agreed to lend to Presidential the remaining funds to complete the golf facility which DPMG Inc. will manage and operate. The golf course construction is currently underway and the parties anticipate a fall, 2008 grand opening.

(b) Business of Issuer

In addition to the company's equity interest in golf and real estate activity in the South Padre, Barbados and Maryland projects described above and in Item 2 below, the company's other business activity currently involves the management of golf courses and golf-related real estate developments owned by third parties. The management agreements cover both operating golf courses and uncompleted golf course developments in various stages of entitlement processing and/or construction.

The projects under management as of December 31, 2006 are located in New York, Missouri, California, Maryland, Puerto Rico, Barbados and Spain. The company's compensation under these agreements is generally comprised of a minimum monthly fee plus percentage participations in either gross or net profits. The company also receives fees for golf course design and/or the preparation of golf course grading plans. The length of the management agreements vary by project, with some extending for a term of 10 years or more, however, in some cases, the owner has the right to terminate upon 30 days notice and there are no assurances that one or more of these agreements may not be cancelled during the current calendar year. During 2005, the company’s management agreements on the Meadowbrook Farms golf course in Houston, Texas and The Oaks golf course in Gulfport, Mississippi were terminated, the latter of which was caused by the closing of the golf facility due to the effects of Hurricane Katrina.

The company is currently pursuing additional opportunities in the golf/residential real estate sector with a particular emphasis on properties in Europe. Given the current oversupply of golf courses in most U.S. markets, the company believes that the superior economic potential for golf-related developments in southern Europe is compelling. The company also believes that market conditions are favorable for the acquisition of golf-related properties in the U.S. and the company may seek to invest in developed or undeveloped properties where reasonable investment or development returns are projected. The company currently has no firm commitments as to any such investments or acquisitions.

The market for golf course management services in the U.S. is very competitive. Several large companies such as Troon Golf have traditionally managed a large number of courses, but as profit margins have tightened over the recent years at U.S. golf facilities, a number of smaller, lower-cost managers have entered the market. The company markets its services by providing a wider range of services than is generally available in the golf management industry today. From pre-development services, including the preparation of economic feasibility studies, processing of governmental approvals and golf course design, through construction management services and golf course management, the company offers a wide range of expertise to manage all phases of a golf-related development or operation. While most of the golf management competition performs only golf management services, the company has the capacity to plan and develop residential and resort communities centered around golf-related amenities. The company intends to continue to market its services by emphasizing its expertise in all phases of golf and golf-related development.

The company currently has 113 employees, 25 of whom are employed by DPMG in support of the company and its subsidiaries' ongoing operations and 88 of whom are employed by South Padre Island Development, L.P. in support of its golf and real estate operations.


Item 2. Description of Properties

The company leases office space on a month-to-month lease in Upper Marlboro, Maryland as its company headquarters. The owner of the leased premises is developing the property surrounding the office and expects to demolish the current structure within the next two years. The company plans to seek zoning approvals to construct its headquarters office building on a leased parcel of ground at the Presidential Golf Club in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. In addition, the company leases office space from the South Padre Island Community Homeowners Association on a month-to-month lease for its South Padre Island Development operations.

The company owned, as of December 31, 2006, the following real property located in the South Padre Island Development, Laguna Vista, Texas:

1.
34 developed lots for sale, 26 of which were under contract,
   
2.
100 lots with housing units under construction, 54 of which were under contract,
   
3.
26 developed lots on which the company plans to build units,
   
4.
33 acres of property held for future development and/or construction,
   
5.
An approximately 185 acre golf course comprised of 18 golf holes, driving range, clubhouse, maintenance barn and appurtenant improvements, and
   
6.
92 acres restricted for the development of additional golf holes, nine of which are under construction.

The company currently has an option to purchase approximately 710 developable acres adjacent to the South Padre Island Development project during 2007 for $12,877 per acre. The option terminates at the beginning of 2008; however, the company has begun negotiations with the owners to extend the option. The company purchased approximately 46 acres of property during 2005 and approximately 82 acres during 2006 pursuant to the terms of the option. During 2006, the company closed on the sale of 82 lots at an average price of approximately $65,000 per lot and 93 residential units at an average price of approximately $182,000 per unit. During 2005 the company closed on the sale of 115 lots at an average sales price of approximately $52,000 per lot and 82 residential units at an average sales price of approximately $160,000 per unit. Substantially all development and construction activity is financed with loans from local financial institutions. The principal amount, interest and certain other provisions regarding these loans are set forth in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The lot and housing market in the vicinity of the South Padre Island Development project is subject to the same competitive conditions as in other regional housing markets. The market consists of both primary and second home buyers who are attracted to the golf course and other amenities available in the project. Considering the increase in interest rates during 2006 and the general slowing of the housing market, the company anticipates that 2007 sales may be less than 2006 or 2005. In the event market conditions, including interest rates, deteriorate further, sales of residential properties at the project could be dramatically affected.

The South Padre golf course is operated as an amenity for the real estate development/sales operation. During 2006, approximately 31,800 rounds were played at an average rate of approximately $39.00 per round, resulting in a loss of approximately $232,000. The company projects that the course's financial performance will improve over the next several years, however, the course is not expected to generate a significant profit in the near term.



In Barbados, a subsidiary of the company owns a 33-1/3% interest in Apes Hill Development, SRL (“Apes Hill”) which during December 2005 purchased approximately 470 acres on the island of Barbados for $12,000,000. This price consisted of $4,000,000 in cash with the remainder paid through the issuance to the seller of the other 66.67% ownership interest in Apes Hill. This property has approvals for the development of a golf course, hotel and approximately 375 residential lots or units. Apes Hill has negotiated financing with a local lender to provide a $34,700,000 credit facility to develop the infrastructure, golf course and initial residential phases (aggregating 97 lots) of the project, which development was begun in 2006. The housing market in Barbados for projects such as this is primarily comprised of second home purchasers from the U.K. and Ireland. The golf course component of the project is viewed as a project amenity and is not projected to be profitable for a number of years. As of December 31, 2006, Apes Hill had received deposits on contracts for the sale of 63 lots with a total sales value of approximately $29 million in U.S. dollars, however, there is no assurance that the demand for future residential product will remain high. Closings on these sales contracts are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2007. There are numerous other second-home projects in Barbados which will compete with Apes Hill for potential purchasers, however, the proposed Apes Hill project, while not having the advantage of being on the coast, has dramatic views and will have excellent recreational facilities to attract those interested in a high-end sporting community.

In Maryland, the company acquired a 50% interest in Presidential Golf Club, LLC (“Presidential”), which owns approximately 350 acres near Upper Marlboro, Maryland on which an 18-hole championship golf course is currently being developed. The company has agreed to contribute up to $700,000 for the construction of the golf course and the company’s partner, V.O.B. Limited Partnership (“V.O.B.”), has agreed to contribute an equal equity amount. Any remaining funds required to construct the golf facility will be loaned to Presidential by V.O.B. on a 15 year note payable out of cash flow generated from the facility with interest at a Citibank floating prime rate. In connection therewith, Presidential has granted to V.O.B. a mortgage in the amount of $13,825,000, which is the current estimate of the loan required to complete the golf course. In addition to this amount, the company will be required to borrow from V.O.B. additional funds to construct a golf clubhouse which is currently in the design and planning phase. The demand for additional golf facilities in the area has remained flat in recent years due to the relatively small increase in golfers utilizing public fee facilities, however, Presidential hopes to use its proximity to downtown D.C. to tap the potential group outing business that exists in the area.

The company also owns a 45% interest in a 128+ acre parcel near the town of Hana, island and county of Maui, state of Hawaii. The parcel is currently undeveloped; however, on January 7, 2007, it received preliminary approvals for subdivision into approximately 14 agricultural lots. Although the conditions to be fulfilled for the final approvals appear to be relatively standard for such an agricultural subdivision in the County of Maui, it is expected that the finished lots will not be available for sale for another 1-1/2 to 2 years.

Other than property in the vicinity of the South Padre Island Development project, the company has no commitments to purchase additional real property during 2007, although an investment opportunity may arise in a golf and/or residential real estate project which the company may pursue under the right circumstances. In the opinion of management, all of the company's properties are adequately insured, however, the company has been unable to procure affordable liability coverage for its construction operations at South Padre.

As of December 31, 2006, the company had a management contract covering approximately 2,000 acres in the Towns of Pine Plains and Milan, Duchess County, New York, which includes an existing 18-hole golf course. The company was retained in July 2004 to renovate and expand the existing golf course and to design, develop and manage the remainder of the project property into an environmentally sensitive community. The planning and approval process for such development is on-going, however, the complexity of this process makes it difficult to project a final approval date. The company's compensation under this agreement consists of fees and a future profit participation.

In 2002, the company’s subsidiary, DPMG Inc., entered into a management agreement with Gyrodyne Company of America, Inc. (“Gyrodyne”) to manage the planning and development of an approximately 320 acre parcel on Long Island, New York. However, in November 2005, the local public university (the State University of NY at Stony Brook) took title to approximately 245 acres of the parcel and Gyrodyne initiated an eminent domain lawsuit against the university. During February 2007, a new agreement with Gyrodyne was entered into whereby Gyrodyne agreed to compensate DPMG for past services, the old management agreement was terminated, and DPMG agreed to provide consulting services to Gyrodyne in connection with the litigation. The details of the new agreement were discussed in the company’s Form 8-K which was filed on February 16, 2007.



The company is currently in negotiations with the owners of other property in southern Europe for the acquisition and/or management of golf, hotel and residential projects. While the success of such negotiations is uncertain at this time, management feels that overseas projects such as these in which the company can earn fees as well as a percentage of profits will be very important for the company's success.

Depreciation of the company's properties and amortization of its contract property rights are more fully described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The company is not currently a party to any pending legal proceeding other than non-material, routine litigation that is incidental to the company’s business.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Overview

The company, through subsidiaries, owns and manages for others, interests in real estate and golf oriented real estate developments. After a long period of relative dormancy discussed in Item 1, the company acquired its first operating companies, DPMG, Inc. and its affiliates, on August 31, 2003 and subsequently, South Padre Island Development, L.P. on October 1, 2004. Year to year comparisons should be analyzed carefully and historical results should not be assumed to be indicative of the company’s future operations.

Management’s analysis of the company’s operations and comments on its current financial condition are as follows:

Revenue

Real estate sales at South Padre totaled 82 lots and 93 houses during 2006, generating $22,187,252 in revenue, compared to 115 lots and 82 houses closed in 2005, generating revenue of $18,927,693. The real estate market in the lower Rio Grande valley where the South Padre project is located is both a primary and secondary home market with a significant portion of the market comprised of “winter Texans” from the upper midwest. As discussed in Item 2, the company has a rolling purchase option to acquire additional acreage adjoining its current holdings and anticipates phased development to meet future demand in this long-term development property.



Golf related revenue totaled $1,758,736 during 2006, comprised of course revenue of $1,291,693, pro shop merchandise sales of $304,286 and food and beverage sales of $162,757. Paid golf rounds totaled 31,846. This compares with 2005 golf revenue of $1,580,951 comprised of $1,170,657 in course revenue, $264,290 in pro shop merchandise sales and $146,004 in food and beverage sales. Paid golf rounds totaled 28,641 in 2005. The golf course is a public, daily fee course, but is operated primarily as an amenity for the surrounding real estate development. During 2006, South Padre expanded its golf clubhouse to include a full service restaurant and bar that opened for business in December 2006. While the company anticipates increases in golf play as more golfers move into the residential community, weather and other factors could adversely affect future golf operations.

Management and consulting agreements generated $5,352,436 in fee revenue in the year ended December 31, 2006 and $3,929,391 during the year ended December 31, 2005. The company was also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses related to the agreements in the amounts of $1,364,344 in 2006 and $726,033 in 2005. Most of the company’s golf management contracts are on a short term basis that may be cancelled on thirty to ninety days notice. As discussed in the company’s Form 8-K filed on February 16, 2007, the company’s contract to manage the Gyrodyne property in New York was cancelled in February 2007 and a new contract was entered into whereby the company agreed to provide consulting services related to Gyrodyne’s eminent domain lawsuit against the State University of NY at Stony Brook. In 2006, the company recognized $2,000,000 in management and consulting revenue under the management contract with Gyrodyne; the new contract provides for additional fees totaling $1,000,000 over a three year period.

In late 2005, the company executed design, construction management and golf operating agreements for three new projects in Missouri, Maryland and Barbados. As discussed in Item 1, the company is also an investor in the projects in Maryland and Barbados. While the company will continue to pursue management contracts with unaffiliated third parties, it is anticipated that more effort will be directed to those properties in which the company may have an equity interest.

Costs of Revenues

Costs of real estate sold, including land, development, construction and closing costs, totaled $14,231,593 or 64% of gross sales. In 2005, costs of real estate sold totaled $13,035,310 or 69% of gross sales. Gross profit margins differ between lot development and vertical house construction, between different subdivisions and between various models of houses. Generally, in 2006, strong demand permitted South Padre to realize greater increases in sales prices for both lots and houses than related increases in costs to produce these products. The improved gross margins realized in 2006 reflect both product mix and general price increases.

Real estate operating expenses totaled $1,349,585 in 2006 compared to $1,274,310 in 2005.

Costs of golf merchandise and food and beverage sold in 2006 totaled $254,083 or 54% of the related merchandise sales compared to $238,634 or 58% of the related sales in 2005.

Golf operating expenses totaled $1,526,105 in 2006 compared to $1,376,909 in 2005.

Management and consulting payroll and related expenses totaled $3,352,703 during the twelve months ending December 31, 2006 and $2,933,801 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2005. The increased costs reflect primarily the personnel costs of three new employees hired near the end of 2005, plus salary increases for other employees during 2006.

Depreciation and amortization included in the company’s consolidated statement of operations was $801,605 in 2006 and $499,334 in 2005. Acquisition costs of contract rights are amortized as revenue is received from these contracts. 2006 revenues from purchased management contracts were greater than in 2005, resulting in greater amortization of costs. Amortization in 2006 includes $500,000 related to the Long Island, NY (Gyrodyne) contract.

General, administrative and other expenses

General, administrative and other expenses totaled $1,042,500 in 2006 and $712,690 in 2005. The 2006 increase reflects a significant increase in state franchise fees, the value of stock options granted to the Board of Directors and legal counsel and increased travel costs.



Other income and expense

Equity in loss of unconsolidated affiliate reflects the company’s 50% share of the operating losses of Landmark Developments of Spain, SL and its 33.3% share of Apes Hill Development SRL in Barbados. The Spanish company was organized in March 2003. The company’s share of losses in the amounts of $176,403 in 2006 and $217,024 in 2005 represent costs incurred in the pursuit of management and development opportunities, primarily in Spain and Portugal. The Barbados company began operations in December 2005. The company’s share of start-up costs expensed was $375,222 and $79,402 in 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Interest income increased from $21,394 in 2005 to $175,868 in 2006 primarily reflecting the larger cash balances invested in overnight funds pending investment in future projects.

Interest expense decreased from $441,438 in 2005 to $347,488 in 2006 in spite of the increase in interest rates from the prior year. The company paid off its note for the purchase of South Padre in 2006 and had less interest costs on completed real estate inventory held for sale during 2006.

Federal and state income taxes

In its federal and state income tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2002, the company reported an ordinary loss of approximately $153,870,000 resulting from the OTS seizure of the company’s savings bank subsidiary, as discussed in Item 1 and in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The deferred federal tax benefit of this loss, in the approximate amount of $52,316,000 did not meet the standard for GAAP recognition as a deferred tax asset under the FASB’s proposed interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and, accordingly, is not reflected in the company’s 2006 or 2005 balance sheets. In its 2006 federal income tax return, the company is using approximately $6,962,000 of the OTSB net operating loss carryover to offset 2006 taxable income. The FASB proposed interpretation required that the company provide for income taxes on the 2006 taxable income without recognizing the tax benefit provided by the OTSB net operating loss carryover. Accordingly, the 2006 tax provision in the amount of $2,126,181 reflects changes in other deferred tax assets and liabilities, but no benefit for the use of the OTSB net operating loss carryover. The tax liability reported on the December 31, 2006 balance sheet includes $2,367,000 more than the liability shown on the 2006 federal income tax return, representing the approximate amount of benefit resulting from the use of a portion of the OTSB net operating loss carryover.

Other net operating loss carryforwards sheltered the company’s 2005 operating profit from federal income tax and most state income taxes. The company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations includes a provision for state income taxes in the amount of $43,000, which amount is shown as a current tax liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2005.

Profitable real estate operations at South Padre, combined with significant fee income realized from three new management projects and Gyrodyne, generated a $6,017,006 profit before income taxes in 2006 compared to the $3,650,577 profit reported in 2005.

Liquidity and capital resources

Current assets total $9,322,894 at December 31, 2006, up from $8,358,232 at December 31, 2005, with the increase resulting primarily from an increase in accounts receivable, including $2,000,000 receivable from Gyrodyne that was collected by the company in February 2007.

Real estate and golf management contract rights reflect the unamortized purchase price of contract rights. Amortization for the year reduced the net carrying value of these contracts by $687,403 in 2006. No new contracts were purchased in 2006 or 2005.

Real estate held for either development or sale increased from $8,315,187 at December 31, 2005 to $12,458,697 at December 31, 2006 reflecting the increased construction activity at South Padre. Composition of the inventory is described in Item 2 of this Form 10-KSB and in Notes 3 and 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The company also has a rolling purchase option to purchase additional land at South Padre as discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Property and equipment increased approximately $475,000 during 2006, reflecting the cost of expanding the South Padre golf club house to include a restaurant and bar offset, in part, by depreciation recorded for the year.




Other assets increased by approximately $4.1 million during 2006, reflecting the company’s investment in Barbados ($4,000,000) and Presidential ($551,250), less losses incurred during the year.

Liabilities increased from $10,770,328 at December 31, 2005 to $16,987,527, primarily reflecting the increase in bank loans as real estate development increased at South Padre. South Padre finances its real estate development with loans from local and regional banks. The loans are secured by deeds of trust on the real property and by guarantees issued by the company. Details of the various loans from banks and affiliates are included in Notes 9 and 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Although the construction debt does not mature until 2008, the company anticipates that most of the $8.6 million debt will be paid within one year from sale proceeds of real estate inventory at South Padre. Debt to affiliates in the approximate amount of $1,192,000 is due on demand, but is owed to stockholders of the company who advanced the funds in prior years to provide working capital liquidity.
 
Stockholders’ equity increased by approximately $2,964,000 in 2006 reflecting primarily the company’s net income for the year. That increase in capital was partially offset by the company’s purchase of 92,525 common shares to be held as treasury stock and payment of cash dividends on common and preferred shares, all as discussed in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

It should be noted that approximately $2,367,000 of current income taxes and $1,360,000 of other liabilities and deferred credits at December 31, 2006 are not likely to require cash outlays by the company. The company believes that $2,367,000 of current income taxes is sheltered by prior net operating losses as discussed in Note 13; therefore, no payment is expected to be required. Customer deposits for real estate sales in South Padre of $1,360,000 are included in other liabilities and deferred credits. These deposits will be credited to the customers’ purchase payment upon close and will, therefore, not require cash outlay by the company. The company believes that its available capital and credit sources will be adequate to fund anticipated operations. While the company continues to seek other investment opportunities, there are no outstanding investment commitments at December 31, 2006.

On June 2, 2006, the Board of Directors granted stock option awards to 19 employees for an aggregate of 186,000 shares of the company’s common stock at a purchase price of $1.74 per share, which was the fair market value of the company’s shares as of such date. On November 18, 2006, the Board of Directors granted a stock option under the Plan for 62,500 shares of the company’s common stock to Jim L. Awtrey at a purchase price of $1.60 per share, which was the fair market value of the company’s shares as of such date. Each of the options generally provided that (a) they would not be exercisable on or before 5 years from the date of the grant (unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors), (b) would lapse upon the employee’s termination of employment before the expiration of 5 years from the date of grant, and (c) would terminate 10 years from the date of grant. Each of the options granted were intended to be incentive stock options under the provisions of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan was approved by the shareholders of the company at its November 18, 2006 Annual Shareholders Meeting. On January 9, 2007, the company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 for the shares covered by the Plan.
   
(b)
On May 1, 2006, the company granted each of Mr. Ille, Mr. Sislen, Mr. White and Mr. Paul Fish (outside counsel to the company) stock options to acquire 50,000 shares of the company’s common stock at a purchase price of $2.00 per share until April 30, 2011, at which time the stock option agreements expire.

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Transactions with Management and Control Persons

During the fiscal years ending December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were no transactions with Directors, executive officers or persons who are known to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the company's common stock, or their immediate families, in which the company was, or is to be, a party, except as follows:




1.
As of December 31, 2006, a subsidiary of the company, DPMG Inc., had an obligation to pay an affiliate of Mr. Barton the sum of $691,315, the principal portion of which currently accrues interest at the rate of 15%. The company acquired DPMG Inc. as a part of the acquisition of KES.
   
2.
On December 31, 2006, a subsidiary of the company, South Padre Island Development, L.P., had an obligation to pay an affiliate of Mr. Gerald G. Barton the sum of $854,819, the principal portion of which currently accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum and is payable on demand. The company acquired South Padre Island Development, L.P. (now South Padre Island Development, LLC) on October 1, 2004.
   
3.
During September 2005, a subsidiary of the company, DPMG Inc., entered into an agreement with Newco XXV, Inc. (“Newco”), an affiliate of Gerald G. Barton, the company chairman, whereby DPMG Inc. agreed to provide consulting services to Newco relating to the planning, design and development of certain real property owned by Newco. The agreement provides that these services are to be provided at rates which are quoted by DPMG Inc. to non-affiliated third party entities. During 2006, DPMG Inc. performed services for Newco valued at approximately $13,000 pursuant to such agreement. On November 18, 2006, the Board of Directors appointed a special committee, consisting of Bernard G. Ille and David A. Sislen, to study a possible acquisition of Newco XXV, Inc. by the company (or a subsidiary) for preferred or common stock of the company. As of the date hereof, the special committee has not yet made a determination of the feasibility of such an acquisition.

Director Independence

The company has standing nominating, compensation and audit committees. Bernard G. Ille, David A. Sislen and Robert W. White, each of whom is an “independent” director as defined in the listing standards of the NASDAQ, comprise the entire membership of each committee.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



Board of Directors
Landmark Land Company, Inc.
Upper Marlboro, MD


We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of Landmark Land Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income, Stockholders’ Equity, and Cash Flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Landmark Land Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R). Share Based Payment, on January 1, 2006.

Landmark Land Company, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements




1. Organization and significant accounting policies

(I) Landmark Land Company, Inc. (the company)

Landmark Land Company, Inc. is a Delaware corporation that, prior to October, 1991, was in the business of real estate development and sales, including owning and operating (1) resort golf courses and tennis clubs, (2) a savings bank, (3) a mortgage banking company, (4) a life insurance company, and (5) other financial services companies. Substantially all of the company’s operations were owned and its businesses conducted, by subsidiaries of Oak Tree Savings Bank, S.S.B. (OTSB), Landmark’s savings bank subsidiary headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana.

In 1991, as a result of regulations and requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA), the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) seized substantially all of the company’s assets and transferred them to a newly chartered federal thrift institution in which the company and its shareholders had no interest. Subsequent to this seizure, the company had little operational activity and extremely limited capital resources and liquidity. Between 1991 and March 2002, the company was essentially dormant, except for the pursuit of a lawsuit captioned Landmark Land Company, Inc. v. United States (Case No. 95-502-C in the United States Court of Federal Claims). The suit included claims by the company for breach of contract, restitution, and deprivation of property without just compensation or due process of law.

During 2000, the company was awarded a judgment against the United States in the above-referenced suit in the amount of $21,458,571, which judgment was affirmed on appeal in July of 2001. The further appeal period expired during the first quarter of 2002 without an appeal being filed and the company received the full amount of the judgment in March 2002. After settling various claims remaining from its previous operations, the company began to rebuild as discussed in the following paragraphs.

(II) Landmark of Spain, Inc.

In February 2003, the company formed a subsidiary called Landmark of Spain, Inc., a Delaware corporation. In March 2003, Landmark of Spain, Inc. and a local Spanish entity formed a new Spanish company, Landmark Developments of Spain, SL to pursue real estate development opportunities in Spain and Portugal. Landmark of Spain, Inc. owns 50% of the Spanish company and accounts for its investment on the equity method. Landmark Developments of Spain, SL’s functional currency is the Euro (€).

The company was obligated to fund 1,000,000 € ($1,250,587 at time of funding) to the Spanish company during its first two years of operations. Through December 31, 2006, the company’s 50% share of the Spanish company’s operating losses totaled $1,493,488, resulting in negative equity of $242,901. At December 31, 2005, the company’s share of the Spanish company’s accumulated deficit was $46,422. The company’s 50% share of the deficit at each date has been deducted from its receivable from this unconsolidated affiliate in the December 31, 2006 and 2005 balance sheets. The assets and liabilities of the company’s foreign operations are translated at rates of exchange in effect at year end, and revenue, expenses, gains and losses are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year.

Landmark Developments of Spain, SL reported the following condensed financial position and loss for the periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, translated into U.S. dollars.

(V) LML Caribbean, Ltd.

On November 25, 2005, the company organized LML Caribbean, Ltd. (“Caribbean”) under the International Business Companies Act, 1999 of Saint Lucia, to pursue real estate and golf development business in the Caribbean. The company owns 100% of Caribbean.

In December 2005, LML Caribbean, Ltd. and C. O. Williams Investments, Inc., a local Barbados company (“Williams”), contracted to create Apes Hill Development SRL (“Apes Hill”), a society incorporated under the provisions of Society With Restricted Liability Act Cap. 318B of the Laws of Barbados. Caribbean owns one-third and Williams owns two-thirds of Apes Hill. The company’s initial plans include development of a golf course, hotel and residential community on approximately 470 acres on the island of Barbados.

Caribbean accounts for its investment in Apes Hill on the equity method. Its $4,000,000 investment commitment to Apes Hill was funded in January 2006. Caribbean’s share of start-up costs expensed by Apes Hill in 2006 and 2005 was $375,222 and $79,402, respectively. Since the company’s investment was not funded until January 2006, the 2005 loss is included as a payable to affiliates in the December 31, 2005 balance sheet.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Landmark Land Company, Inc., Landmark of Spain, Inc., DPMG, Inc., South Padre Island Development, LLC, SPIBS, LLC, SPID, Inc. and LML Caribbean, Ltd., collectively referred to as “the companies”. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

(VIII) Accounting policies

Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents consist of financial instruments with original maturities of less than three months. The companies maintain cash accounts that may exceed federally insured limits during the year. The companies do not believe that this results in any significant credit risk.

Merchandise inventories: Golf merchandise inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the weighted average cost method. Inventory at December 31, 2006 and 2005 totaled $95,541 and $96,147, respectively.

Landmark Land Company, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



Accounts receivable and concentrations of credit risk: Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the companies expect to collect. The companies maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectibility of specific customer accounts: customer credit worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. If the financial condition of the companies’ customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, the companies provide for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the companies have used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, no allowance was considered necessary.

Property and equipment: Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Leasehold improvements
Shorter of estimated life or lease term
Furniture and fixtures
7-10 years
Machinery and equipment
3-8 years
Software
3 years

Depreciation expense totaled $114,203 and $86,618 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Real estate and golf management contract rights: The company, through its DPMG subsidiary, owns management, development and profit participation contract rights in various real estate and golf properties in the United States, Spain and the Caribbean. These contracts are for the management of various golf courses and real estate properties. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, these contracts were reflected on the company’s balance sheets as follows:

Recognition of revenue:

Property management: Fees for property management and golf design are recognized when earned under the related contracts, generally when the services are performed. Revenue earned under construction supervision contracts is earned on the percentage of completion method as construction costs are incurred.

Land development: South Padre is engaged in the development of various land parcels. The company’s accounting policies follow the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, which specifies minimum down payment requirements, financing terms, and other reporting requirements for sales of real estate. Sales are reported for financial reporting purposes when the transaction is closed and title transfers.

Golf revenue: Golf revenue is recognized when rounds are played or merchandise is sold.

Real estate under development: Land costs include direct and indirect acquisition costs, off-site and on-site improvements and carrying charges for projects under active development. Interest and other carrying costs on projects not under development are charged to operations.

Improvement costs and carrying charges are allocated to development phases and to individual lots in proportion to their estimated fair value. At the time sales are recognized, accumulated costs are relieved from land inventory and charged to cost of sales based on the cost accumulations and allocations. Real estate held for development and sale is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Income taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce tax assets to an amount for which realization is more likely than not. The effect of changes in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the rate change occurs.

Marketing costs: The company’s policy is to expense marketing costs as incurred. Marketing expense included in the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $487,150 and $339,479, respectively.

Foreign currency translation: The assets and liabilities of the company’s foreign operations are translated at rates of exchange in effect at year end, and revenue, expenses, gains and losses are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year. Gains and losses resulting from translation of the foreign entity’s year-end balance sheet are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until the respective assets or liabilities are liquidated.

Earnings per share: Earnings per share (EPS) are computed using weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the common stock options granted to employees, directors and legal counsel in 2006. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the calculation of earnings per share:

Impairment of long-lived assets: In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, management evaluates intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for an intangible asset to the extent that the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, which is determined based upon the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset, including disposition. Cash flow estimates used in evaluating for impairment represent management’s best estimates using appropriate assumptions and projections at the time.

During 2004, the company recorded an estimated impairment loss of $922,083 to reduce the carrying amount of a management contract with Gyrodyne Company of America, Inc. (“Gyrodyne”) for property on Long Island, New York. The company’s contract provided for the planning, obtaining regulatory approvals and subsequent development of approximately 320 acres of industrial land on Long Island. Development approvals for the property were delayed because of the threatened condemnation of a portion of the property for expansion of a local university campus and ultimate approval appeared doubtful.

The State University of New York at Stony Brook subsequently took title to approximately 245 acres of the subject property on November 2, 2005 for a purchase price of $26.3 million, generating a profit to Gyrodyne of approximately $20.7 million. Gyrodyne has accepted the $26.3 million as an advance payment on the sale and will pursue additional compensation in the New York State Court of Claims. The company’s management contract provided for an incentive fee equal to ten percent (10%) of net income from the project (or other sale or use of the property) as additional compensation for its services under the contract. Although Gyrodyne initially notified the company that it did not believe the incentive fee applied to the condemnation award, in February 2007, the company and Gyrodyne entered a new consulting agreement whereby Gyrodyne agreed to compensate DPMG for past services, the old management agreement was terminated, and DPMG agreed to provide consulting services to Gyrodyne in connection with its eminent domain litigation with the State University of New York at Stony Brook. The details of the new agreement were discussed in the company’s Form 8-K which was filed on February 16, 2007.

Fair value of financial instruments: The company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The fair value of cash, receivables, and payables approximates cost due to the short period of time to maturity.

Warranty accruals: The company’s subsidiary, South Padre, provides a one-year latent defects warranty and a ten-year structural warranty on the houses it builds. The accompanying financial statements include a provision for warranty expense calculated as .5% of gross house sales. The summary of the warranty accruals for 2006 and 2005 follows:

Customer deposits: As part of the company’s homebuilding operations, homebuyers are required to pay an upfront deposit with the company when a home purchase contract is executed. The company records this deposit as a liability until such time as the contract actually closes and title passes to the purchasers. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the company had customer deposits totaling $1,360,640 and $640,227, respectively, that are included in other liabilities and deferred credits on the accompanying balance sheets.

Landmark Land Company, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



Out of pocket expenses: The company’s management, construction and development agreements require customers to pay a management fee plus reimbursement for the out of pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the customer. Consistent with EITF Topic 01-14, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received For Out of Pocket Expenses Incurred”, the company recognizes this reimbursement as a separate component of revenue and operating expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2005 financial statements to conform to the 2006 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income.

In October 2005, the company purchased 8,200 common shares at $.77 per share. The $6,314 purchase price was charged to the treasury stock account.

In November 2006, the company purchased 92,525 common shares at $1.70 per share. The $157,293 purchase price was charged to the treasury stock account.

On August 15, 2005, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.10 per share on the company’s common stock, payable in four quarterly installments of $.025 per share, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 25 and November 25, 2005 and February 25 and May 25, 2006. On August 26, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.10 per share on the company’s common stock payable in quarterly installments of $.025 per share to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 8, 2006, November 30, 2006, February 28, 2007 and May 31, 2007, respectively. The installments of dividend payments have been paid or will be payable on the first business day that is ten days after each record date.

On May 1, June 2 and November 18, 2006, the company granted stock purchase options to its outside directors, legal counsel and certain employees as discussed in Note 6 Stock Option Plans. The Company is accounting for the options using the fair value method. Using the Black Scholes Merton model, the directors’ options were valued at $.50 per share and, since the options are immediately exercisable, the total value of $100,000 was charged to expense and credited to paid-in capital. The employee options granted on June 2, 2006, were valued at $.60 per share and the employee options granted on November 18, 2006, were valued at $.43 per share. Since the employee options vest at the end of five years, the estimated value is being expensed over the five year vesting period. The December 31, 2006 financial statements include expense for the employee options in the amount of $13,183, with the same amount credited to paid-in capital.

In December 2005, the company sold 10,000 shares of Series C preferred stock, $.50 par value, $100 liquidation value with a $10 cumulative annual dividend per share for $1,000,000 cash. The entire proceeds were credited to the preferred stock account.

6. Stock option plans

On December 31, 2006, the company had two share-based compensation plans, which are described below. The compensation cost related to options granted, based on the grant date fair value, was estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and has been charged against income for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2006 in the total amount of $113,183. The total deferred income tax benefit related to these share-based compensation arrangements was approximately $39,000. No options were granted under the plans prior to the second quarter of 2006.

Stock option agreements

The company has entered into agreements with its outside directors and legal counsel under which it granted options to purchase the company’s common shares. On May 1, 2006, four individuals were granted options to purchase a total of 200,000 shares. The options were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value at the time of grant. These options are immediately vested and expire five years from the date of grant.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes Merton option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is estimated based upon the historical volatility of entities with characteristics (size, industry, etc.) similar to the company and the company’s own historical volatility. The expected term of the options granted represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. The risk free rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yield for a period comparable to the expected term. The dividend rate is an estimate of the expected yield on the company stock over the expected term.

Incentive stock option plan

The company’s Incentive Stock Option Plan (“Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors on April 29, 2006, and approved by shareholders on November 18, 2006. The plan permits the grant of stock options for up to 766,000 shares of common stock to company employees. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price not less than the fair market value, as determined by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Plan, of the company’s stock at the time of grant. Generally, options must be granted within ten years of the plan adoption date with vesting five years from date of grant and exercise within five years from date of vesting.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes Merton option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is estimated based upon the historical volatility of entities with characteristics (size, industry, etc.) similar to the company and the company’s own historical volatility. The expected term of the options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected forfeiture rate represents the percentage of options expected to be forfeited before vesting. The risk free rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yield for a period comparable to the expected term. The dividend rate is an estimate of the expected yield on the company stock over the expected term.

The company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering all eligible employees effective July 1, 2001. Employees may elect to contribute to the plan on a pre-tax basis, within certain percentage limitations. Effective January 2006, the plan was amended to include the South Padre employees and to provide for the company to match 100% of employee elective contributions up to 3% of employee wages plus 50% of employee elective contributions between 3% and 5%. Company contributions to the plan totaled $144,815 in 2006 and $74,324 in 2005.

12. Commitments and contingencies

Litigation: The company and its subsidiaries have been named as defendant in various claims, complaints and other legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the company.

Backlog: At December 31, 2006, South Padre had 80 non-contingent contracts for lots and houses under construction with a total sales value of approximately $13,347,000. At December 31, 2005, there were 36 contracts with a total sales value of approximately $5,458,000.

Land purchase option: South Padre entered into a rolling purchase option agreement dated April 1, 1995, which grants a series of options to purchase all or part of approximately 1,050 acres of land in Laguna Vista, Texas. South Padre purchased approximately 206 acres under the agreement prior to the company’s acquisition of South Padre in October 2004. The option agreement was amended December 13, 2004 and now requires South Padre to purchase a minimum of twenty-five acres each calendar year in 2005 - 2007 to maintain its purchase option rights under the agreement. The agreement expires December 31, 2007 unless extended by mutual agreement. Purchase price is $12,000 per acre through December 31, 2005, escalating on January 1 of each subsequent year by the same percentage as the Consumer Price Index increased during the preceding year. Purchase price during 2006 was $12,408 per acre and will be $12,877 per acre in 2007. The company purchased approximately 82 acres and 46 acres in 2006 and 2005, respectively, under the amended agreement.

Airplane: On November 22, 2006, the company entered into an agreement to buy a 1988 Astra Jet for $3,900,000, subject to a detailed inspection of the plane by an authorized Astra service center. In 2006, the company deposited a total of $135,800 with the title escrow agent and the inspection facility, which amount is included in “ Deposits” on the company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2006. The company accepted delivery of the airplane on January 11, 2007. Key Equipment Finance Inc. financed the $3,900,000 purchase price with a 7-year balloon loan (approximate 15-year amortization rate) at an interest rate equal to one month Libor plus 1.61%, floating monthly. Initial interest rate is 6.86% and the monthly payment is $34,998.

In its federal and state income tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2002, the company reported an ordinary loss of approximately $153,870,000 resulting from the OTS seizure of the company’s savings bank subsidiary, as discussed in Note 1. The deferred federal tax benefit of this loss, in the approximate amount of $52,316,000 did not meet the standard for GAAP recognition as a deferred tax asset under the FASB’s proposed interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and, accordingly, is not reflected in the company’s 2006 or 2005 balance sheets. In its 2006 federal income tax return, the company is using approximately $6,962,000 of this net operating loss carryover to offset 2006 taxable income. The FASB proposed interpretation required that the company provide for income taxes on the 2006 taxable income without recognizing the tax benefit provided by this net operating loss carryover. Accordingly, the 2006 tax provision in the amount of $2,126,181 reflects changes in other deferred tax assets and liabilities, but no benefit for the use of this net operating loss carryover. The tax liability reported on the December 31, 2006 balance sheet includes $2,367,000 more than the liability shown on the 2006 federal income tax return, representing the approximate amount of benefit resulting from use of a portion of this net operating loss.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes was issued in July 2006 and interprets FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.

FIN 48 requires all taxpayers to analyze all material positions they have taken or plan to take in all tax returns that have been filed or should have been filed with all taxing authorities for all years still subject to challenge by those taxing authorities. If the position taken is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority on its technical merits and if there is more than a 50% likelihood that the position would be sustained if challenged and considered by the highest court in the relevant jurisdiction, the tax consequences of that position should be reflected in the taxpayer’s GAAP financial statements. Earlier proposed interpretations had recommended a “probable” standard for recognition of tax consequences rather than the “more-likely-than-not” standard finally adopted.

The new interpretation becomes effective for the company January 1, 2007 and, consequently, does not affect the company’s December 31, 2006 financial statements. However, the cumulative effect of applying the new requirements must be reflected as adjustments to the company’s retained earnings as shown on the opening balance sheet for the calendar year 2007. The company is analyzing its material tax positions and assessing the impact that the implementation of FIN 48 will have on its future financial statements. One significant tax position relates to certain net operating loss carryovers (NOL). Since the company‘s tax position on the NOL meets the “more-likely-than-not” standard for recognition, an adjustment to equity will be required effective January 1, 2007. Such adjustment will reflect the NOL benefit claimed in the 2006 tax return (approximately $2,367,000) as well as an estimate of NOL benefits to be realized in future periods. Realization of the NOL tax benefit in future periods depends on the company’s ability to generate taxable income during the carry over period.

16. Recent accounting pronouncements

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159 on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R).” This statement would require a company to (a) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status, (b) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year, and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur (reported in comprehensive income). The adoption of this new accounting pronouncement has not had an impact on our financial position or results of operation. The company does not have any such plans.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of this new accounting pronouncement has not had an impact on our financial position or results of operation.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 describes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The new interpretation becomes effective for the company January 1, 2007, as discussed in Note 13.
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS 154”) which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements - an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28.” SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application, on the latest practicable date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 154 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
