(b) Results of Operations
The majority of the revenues are generated by the utility companies. These completed a rate increase audit with the Public Service Commission in 1992. The new rates became effective in 1993.
The rates increased again in 1996 and 1995 due to indexing.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Utility operating revenues increased 2.55% in 1996 to $277,670, up $6,898 over 1995 and increased 4.58% in 1996, up $12,170 over 1994. The increase in revenues is due primarily to rate increases in water revenues.
The gross profit percentages for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994 of 50.55%, 50.16% and 49.18%, respectively, were maintained due to the stability in the number of customers.
General and administrative expenses have increased as a percentage of utility revenues compared to 1995 and 1994 as a result of increased expenditures for insurance, stock agent fees, wages and related taxes and office supplies. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of utility revenues were approximately 29.20% in 1996 as compared to 28.83% and 28.95% for 1995 and 1994.
Income from other operations increased 6.48% in 1996 to $40,467, up $2,463 over 1995 and increased 10.53% in 1996, up $3,855 over 1994. The increase in revenues is due primarily to increases in rental income.
General and administrative expenses from other operations have decreased as a percentage of income from other operations compared to 1995, and 1994 as a result of management controlling operating costs. General and administrative expenses from other operations as a percentage of income from other operations were approximately 75.51 % in 1996 as compared to 80.11% and 80.38% for 1995 and 1994.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.

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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Holiday-Gulf Homes, Inc. and Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information on page 23 is presented for the purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.

HOLIDAY-GULF HOMES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Consolidation--
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Recognition of Income from Utility Operations--
The majority of the Company's revenues are generated by two Utility Companies. These Companies recognize revenues on a monthly basis. The use is based on actual meter readings by an outside independent contractor. The independent contractor also provides services for other utility companys in the area. The independent contractors fees are based on a set amount per customer plus any additional repairs.
Depreciation--
Depreciation included in the accompanying financial statements has been provided by the straight-line method at rates calculated to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:
YEARS Utility Plant and Equipment 5 - 40 Building and Improvements 5 - 30
Maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are charged to expense as incurred, whereas renewals and betterments are capitalized. When properties are replaced, retired, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Any gain or loss, is credited or charged to operations in the year of disposal.
Amortization--
The Contribution in Aide of Construction (CIAC) costs are being amortized over a period of sixteen years using the straight-line method.
CIAC represents $1,325 received in 1995 from a utility customer to help pay for the cost of the new asset.
Cash--
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash includes cash on hand, cash in checking and money market accounts, and Certificates of Deposit.
