ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
 
On February 9, 2010 the Company announced a net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2009 of $1.4 million or $0.19 per share compared with a loss of  $0.2 million or $0.02 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2008.  Earnings from interest on mortgages, real estate sales and agriculture operations were below prior year results and combined to cause the earnings decline.

Operating revenues were $14.1 million and $20.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Operations produced a gross loss of $1.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared with a loss of $0.7 million during the three months ended December 31, 2008.  The decreases in revenue and gross profits were primarily due to lower revenues and profits from agriculture operations.
