(1)	Management utilizes measures called Funds From Operations ("FFO") and Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") to assess and evaluate the Corporation's ability to generate cash, its return on each of its projects, as well as the performance of the enterprise as a whole.  FFO and AFFO do not have standardized meanings prescribed by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.  Users should be cautioned that these performance measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income and that the Corporation's definition of FFO differs from the Real Property Association of Canada's ("REALpac") definition of FFO.  REALpac has not recognized a definition for AFFO.  Parkbridge defines FFO as being net income for the period before depreciation and amortization on capital assets, certain defeasance costs, stock-based compensation expense, internalization costs, future income tax expense and deferred credits in income tax expense. Parkbridge defines AFFO as being FFO for the period, adjusted for maintenance capital expenditures.
(2)	On May 5, 2010 the Corporation's Board of Directors authorized the commencement of a dividend program and approved the first dividend payment for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  On August 4, 2010, the Board authorized a similar dividend payment for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  Subsequent to year end, on November 23, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized the payment of a dividend for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, payable December 15, 2010 to shareholders of record on December 3, 2010.
(3)	The percentage occupancy for Cottage and RV Resorts represents the average annual occupancy level of seasonal Sites and overnight Sites within a particular Resort.  In general, overnight Sites comprise 10% or less of the total Sites within a particular Resort.  Typically, the average occupancy achievable in respect of overnight Sites is 45 to 75 days out of the total of the approximately 120 days the Resort is open in a given season.  Consequently, the total occupancy level for a particular Resort property will generally be less than 100%.
(4)	Includes 73 firm and 64 conditional sales contracts at November 15, 2010 compared to 107 firm and 60 conditional sales contracts at November 15, 2009.

Approximately one year ago, in Parkbridge's previous annual letter to shareholders, the Corporation advised that Parkbridge's management and board had initiated a comprehensive examination of strategic alternatives aimed at sufacing value for its shareholders.  This examination included a complete review of corporate and real estate investment trust ("REIT") structures, identification of qualifying and non-qualifying REIT income, the potential of initiating a dividend payment program (which was initiated in Q2 of fiscal 2010) and various funding alternatives to support Parkbridge's development program.  After a thorough review of strategic alternatives, Parkbridge's Board determined that none of the public market alternatives were well suited to maximizing shareholder value, and concluded that the arrangement agreement ("Arrangement") entered into with British Columbia Investment Management Corporation ("bcIMC"), announced on October 4, 2010, was in the best interests of its shareholders and its customers.  The value of the consideration of $7.30 per share provided under the Arrangement represents a 30% premium to the then trading price of Parkbridge's common shares.

Completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of at least two-thirds of the votes cast in person or by proxy at a special meeting of the Corporation's shareholders on November 25, 2010. If the shareholders approve the Arrangement, closing will occur no earlier than January 4, 2011.

Continuing Operations

Parkbridge's operations continued to exhibit strong performance in fiscal 2010, underscoring the sound fundamentals underlying the core areas of its business.  Funds From Operations ("FFO") rose 16% to $27.4 million during fiscal 2010, as compared to $23.5 million achieved during the prior year.  FFO per share increased 4% to $0.398 for the current year compared to $0.381 in the comparative period.  The Corporation's FFO per share growth was impacted by the 8% dilutive effect of the equity issue completed just over one year ago ($20 million raised on September 30, 2009). 

Dividends

The Corporation's Board of Directors has authorized the payment of a dividend for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to common shareholders at the rate of $0.0375 per Common Share. The Dividend will be paid December 15, 2010 to shareholders of record on December 3, 2010 and is designated as an eligible dividend pursuant to subsection 89(14) of the Income Tax Act. An eligible dividend paid to a Canadian resident individual is entitled to the enhanced dividend tax credit.

For a complete discussion of the foregoing please refer to the Corporation's September 30, 2010 audited consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis, both of which have been concurrently filed on SEDAR.

Sincerest Gratitude

On the assumption that the Arrangement is approved and completed as presently anticipated, Parkbridge would like at this time to express its sincerest appreciation to its shareholders for their valued support, to the entire Parkbridge team for their ongoing efforts in helping develop a promising and alternative housing industry in the Canadian markets and to its Board of Directors for their steady guidance throughout the past years.
