Highlights

- All of our residential communities continue to enjoy high occupancy

levels (99%) and the complement of seasonal residents at all of our

recreational properties has increased from last year.

- Over $10.1 million has been invested in 13 different expansion

projects in the first nine months of this fiscal year. In this nine

month period, 127 new homes and recreational units were sold in our

expansion projects producing income from home sales of $2.1 million

(compared to 90 sales and $1.8 million in 2005). Additionally, 80

firm sales contracts (2005 - 27 contracts) are in hand and another 84

sales contracts are conditional on the sale of the customer's

existing home or financing.

- The acquisition of one property containing 355 sites and 200

expansion sites was completed during the third quarter, at a cost of

$8.5 million plus assumption of obligations to the local municipality

in respect of improvements to onsite infrastructure. This is in

addition to the eleven properties which were acquired in the first

half of the year.

- Subsequent to June 30, 2006, the Corporation completed the

acquisition of four communities in Southern Ontario containing 273

sites and entered into binding purchase and sale agreements for a 30

acre parcel of development land in Cold Lake, Alberta capable of

accommodating 167 sites and a mixed use project in Eastern Canada

containing 539 sites scheduled to close in January 2007. The 30 acre

parcel is expected to close later this year and builds on our

strategy of increasing our presence in Northern Alberta. Total

acquisition costs for these properties amounted to $9.9 million.
