SUBJECT: Landmark - Update
All,
The most important thing first. We have sent all the information requested to the Durst
Organization and it is being analyzed by Douglas' personal accountant. There have been
almost no questions and the only request was for full details on the appraisals of
Barbados and South Padre Island. This request was because Douglas had hired an
appraisal firm to review them. This is one area in which I have no concern. Although we
have no cash, we have substantial value. Recently we received a note apologizing for the
slowness of the review and asking us to be patient. You will recall Douglas committed
that we would "know if we have a deal by Christmas." Obviously we expect news soon
and I will let you know.
Landmark produces cash flow in one of two ways; through sales or fees. Sales in
Barbados will not help our cash immediately, because we must repay the bank loan
before dividends. Sales in South Padre have been disappointing to me this quarter.
Quality traffic is up, but to-date, sales are not. New fees, which have been non-existent
the last 3 years, will come when an investor decides to make a real estate investment in
our area. In this regard, the wall of worry that built in the summer and fall has recently
been disintegrated by the barrage of positive earnings reports. This opened up for the
investors the slope of hope and we have received more interest in the last month or two
than we have had all year. This demonstrates that investors are looking for opportunities
to invest and we have what we believe is serious interest in Barbados, but as yet, nothing
under contract.
On a personal note, yesterday I drove through the snow to Johns Hopkins to have 3 more
biopsies on my poor little foot; all in the same area, with the goal to define exactly what
skin will be taken when I have the next and last operation. It is my hope that this will be
done after Christmas, but before New Year's and I am told that the rehabilitation time

that would limit travel, would be less. As the schedule becomes more certain, I will let
you know.
