RESORTQUEST INTERNATIONAL, INC.
In these footnotes, the words Company, ResortQuest, we, our and us refer to ResortQuest International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated or the context requires otherwise.
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Overview
ResortQuest is one of the worlds leading providers of vacation condominium and home rental property management services in premier destination resorts located in the United States and Canada. We have developed the first and only branded international network of vacation rental properties, and currently offer management services to over 20,000 rental properties. Our operations are in more than 50 premier resort locations in the Beach, Hawaii, Mountain and Desert geographical regions.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods have been made. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Acquisition Costs
Costs incurred in the course of our evaluation of acquisition candidates and the ultimate consummation of acquisitions consist primarily of attorneys fees, accounting fees and other costs incurred by us in identifying and closing transactions. These costs incurred are deferred on the balance sheet as Other assets until the related transaction is either consummated or terminated. We had no deferred acquisition costs as of December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002. Similar treatment and classification is followed in recording costs incurred by us in the course of generating additional debt or equity financing. Deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $1.6 million and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002. Transaction costs and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified net assets acquired represent goodwill (see Note 2). Goodwill is calculated based on a preliminary estimate that is adjusted to its final balance within one year of the close of the acquisition. Additionally, certain of our acquisitions have earn-up provisions that require additional consideration to be paid if certain operating results are achieved over periods of up to three years. This additional consideration is recorded as goodwill when the amount is fixed and determinable.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, we made net cash payments approximating $1.4 million for an earn-up payment related to a 2001 acquisition and other purchase accounting adjustments related to certain 2001 acquisitions. The total cost during the same period in 2001 for 2001 acquisitions and earn-up payments related to 1999 acquisitions was $24.6 million, with 6.8% of the net consideration paid in the form of common stock with an aggregate value of $1.7 million, net of retired escrow shares, and the remaining $22.9 million of consideration paid in cash.
NOTE 2 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, we changed our method of accounting for reimbursable costs to conform to the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 01-14, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket Expenses Incurred, (EITF No. 01-14) issued earlier this year and effective for us on January 1, 2002. As a result, reimbursements received are recorded as revenue and the costs incurred on behalf of managed associations and properties are recorded as expenses. These costs, which relate primarily to payroll costs at managed properties and associations where we are the employer, are reflected in Other revenue and expenses from managed entities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Revenue and expenses for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. Since the reimbursements are made based upon the costs incurred with no added margin, the expenses and related revenues are identical, and thus the adoption of EITF No. 01-14 did not have any effect on our operating income, total or per share net income, cash flows or financial position.
Page 6 of 25
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Statement No. 141 eliminates the poolings-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations and requires all transactions initiated after June 30, 2001, to be accounted for using the purchase method. Under Statement No. 142, goodwill related to our future acquisitions is not subject to amortization, and goodwill related to our historical acquisitions is no longer amortized as of January 1, 2002. Goodwill is subject to reviews for impairment annually and upon the occurrence of certain events, and if impaired, a write-down will be recorded. Upon our adoption of Statement No. 142, each of our geographical resort regions with assigned goodwill was valued as a reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit was greater than the book value, including assigned goodwill, no further testing was required. However, if the book value, including goodwill, was greater than the fair value of the reporting unit, the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit needed to be valued. The difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of the assets is the implied fair value of goodwill. To the extent that the implied fair value of goodwill was less that the book value of goodwill, an impairment charge was recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Based on this test, we recorded a non-cash $8.1 million write-down of our goodwill related to our Desert resort operations partially off-set by a $1.9 million income tax benefit. The Desert resort operations are expected to continue to experience declining cash flows as a result of the economics of the Desert markets. The following table presents adjusted net income and earnings per share excluding goodwill amortization:

We have completed the process of evaluating the impact of Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, and we do not expect this statement to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon its adoption in 2003. Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets; the adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Statement No. 145, Rescission of Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections, was issued and has been adopted. This adoption had no material impact to our financial position or results of operations. Also during the quarter ended June 30, 2002, Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, was issued and is effective for activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company has yet to evaluate the impact of this statement and is therefore unable to disclose the impact that adopting Statement No. 146 will have on its financial position and results of operations when such statement is adopted.
NOTE 3 NOTE RECEIVABLE
In connection with the initial public offering, we formalized a $4.0 million promissory note resulting from cash advances to a primary stockholder (see Note 6) of a predecessor company. On February 16, 2000, this note was restructured in order to provide for additional collateral representing real estate held by the former stockholder. This note bears interest at 1/2% below the prime rate of interest, but not less than 6% and not more than 10%. Interest payments under this note are due every January and July 1st, with the principal recorded in Other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, being due in full on May 25, 2008. To date, all interest payments due under the restructured terms of the note have been received.
Page 7 of 25
NOTE 4 UNUSUAL ITEMS AND OTHER CHARGES
During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, general and administrative expenses include approximately $500,000 of items that management considers as unusual items and other charges. These items are primarily due to professional fees resulting from employee-related matters and a study to explore financing and strategic growth alternatives.
NOTE 5 EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding options to purchase our securities are exercised. The following table reflects our weighted average common shares outstanding and the impact of outstanding dilutive stock options:

NOTE 6 LITIGATION
On May 26, 2000, Hotel Corp. of the Pacific, Inc., a subsidiary of ResortQuest International doing business as Aston Hotels & Resorts, instituted legal proceedings in the Circuit Court for the First Circuit of Hawaii against Andre S. Tatibouet, the president of Hotel Corp. This action arose out of a document styled Cooperation Agreement that was signed by Andre S. Tatibouet, purporting to act on behalf of Hotel Corp., on the one hand, with Cendant Global Services B.V. and Aston Hotels & Resorts International, Inc., on the other hand. The Cooperation Agreement contains several provisions that are detrimental to Hotel Corp., including provisions purporting to transfer certain intellectual property and limit certain intellectual property rights held by Hotel Corp. Monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation were sought by Hotel Corp. By order of the Circuit Court, the claims asserted by Hotel Corp. in the lawsuit were consolidated with an arbitration demand, filed with the American Arbitration Association by Mr. Tatibouet, in which he alleged various breaches of his employment agreement with Hotel Corp.
The arbitration hearing took place in September 2001, where Mr. Tatibouet claimed damages of approximately $17.5 million and ResortQuest claimed damages of approximately $4.7 million. On March 14, 2002, the arbitration panel issued its Reasoned Opinion and Final Award. The panel concluded that Mr. Tatibouet had breached his fiduciary duty to Hotel Corp. and awarded Hotel Corp. $55,559 related to the reimbursement of certain legal expenses. The panel denied all of Mr. Tatibouets claims and requests for damages as well as declaratory and other relief.
On May 26, 2000, ResortQuest International and Hotel Corp. bought and action in the Circuit Court for the First Circuit of Hawaii against Cendant Corporation, Aston Hotels & Resort International Inc. and Cendant Global Services B.V (Defendants) seeking damages for breach of contract against Cendant, and the equitable remedies or rescission and replevin. This action arose out of Mr. Andre S. Tatibouets purported negotiation on behalf of Hotel Corp. of the Pacific, Inc., a subsidiary of ResortQuest International, of a document styled Cooperation Agreement in March 2002.
ResortQuest and Cendant entered into an amended Cooperation Agreement on July 15, 2002. As a result of the execution of that agreement, on July 15, 2002 ResortQuest moved to dismiss its court action against Defendants by filing a stipulation for complete dismissal with prejudice as to all claims and parties.
We are also involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that any of the remaining actions will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 7 LONG-TERM DEBT
Included in long-term debt on the accompanying June 30, 2002 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is approximately $24.8 million of borrowings under our Credit Facility. At June 30, 2002 the Company was in violation of a fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the agreement. Compliance with such covenant was waived by lenders in a limited waiver agreement dated June 28, 2002.
NOTE 8 SEGMENT REPORTING
We have one operating segment, property management, which is managed as one business unit. The All other segment includes ResortQuest Technologies and corporate. At December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002, approximately 47% and 48%, respectively, of the All other segment assets represents goodwill recorded for ResortQuest Technologies and corporate.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
ResortQuest is one of the worlds leading providers of vacation condominium and home rental property management services in premier destination resorts located in the United States and Canada. We have developed the first and only branded international network of vacation rental properties, and currently offer management services to over 20,000 rental properties. Our operations are in more than 50 premier resort locations in the Beach, Hawaii, Mountain and Desert geographical regions.
Our rental properties are generally second homes or investment properties owned by individuals who assign us the responsibility of managing, marketing and renting their properties. We earn management fees as a percentage of the rental income from each property, but have no ownership interest in the properties. In addition to the vacation property management business, we offer real estate brokerage services and other rental and property owner services. We also have developed the industry leading proprietary vacation rental management software, First Resort Software, with over 900 licenses sold to vacation property management companies.
We provide value-added services to both vacationers and property owners. For vacationers, we offer the value, convenience and features of a condominium or home while providing many of the amenities and services of a hotel. For property owners, we offer a comprehensive package of marketing, management and rental services designed to enhance rental income and profitability while providing services to maintain the property. Property owners also benefit from our QuestPerks program, which offers benefits such as discounts on lodging, air travel and car rentals. To manage guests expectations, we have developed and implemented a five-tier rating system that segments our property portfolio into five categories: Quest Home, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze.
We market our properties through various media channels and have significant Internet distribution through ResortQuest.com, our proprietary website offering real-time reservations, and our inventory distribution partnerships including Expedia, AOL, Condosaver and others. We have an alliance with Online Travel Corporation, PLC., to exclusively develop the ResortQuest brand in Europe by using our technology and expertise in this industry. Under the terms of the alliance with Online Travel, we receive a royalty fee based on gross revenues related to units acquired or aggregated under this program, an exclusivity fee and other cross selling fees.
In March 2002, we unveiled our enhanced website that improves the booking experience for e-travelers. In addition to detailed property descriptions, virtual tours, interior and exterior photos and floor plans, and local information, vacationers can search for properties by date, activity, event or location; comparison shop among similar vacation rental units; check for special discounts and promotions; and obtain maps and driving directions. The site also allows foreign travelers to obtain currency conversion rates. The site utilizes AXS Technologies software to provide high speed/high resolution, scroll, pan and zoom imaging.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our operating results are highly seasonal due to the geographical dispersion of the resort locations in which we operate. The results of operations are subject to quarterly fluctuations caused primarily by the seasonal variations in the vacation rental and property management industry, with peak seasons dependent on whether the resort is primarily a summer or winter destination. Our financial results are discussed on a consolidated basis, but due to the seasonal nature of our operations, our results are also discussed by geographic region with Other representing our corporate and ResortQuest Technologies operations. For better analysis, the six-months ended June 30, 2002 discussion includes same-store comparisons. Same-store comparisons exclude the impact of the two acquisitions completed since the first day of the earliest period being discussed. One of these acquisitions is located in our Mountain operations in Gatlinburg, Tennessee effective April 1, 2001, and the other in our Beach operations in the Outer Banks of North Carolina effective April 1, 2001.
Due to the recent challenges facing leisure travel companies presented by the softening economy and the impact of the tragic events of September 11, our revenues are down over prior year as leisure travel demand has softened. In order to maintain slightly positive occupancy over prior years second quarter, we charged lower room rates, which resulted in lower overall revenues. Despite these industry-wide challenges, we are proud of how we have been able to reduce costs, maintain occupancy and continue to position ResortQuest to realize significant growth in the future.

Other expenses from managed entities. Other expenses from managed entities decreased $25,000, or 16%, from $158,000 in 2001 to $133,000 in 2002, due to a decrease in payroll for managed entities. These expenses are reimbursed at our cost by entities under our management (see Note 2). The reimbursements for these amounts are reflected in revenues. As a percentage of revenues, other expenses from managed entities decreased 0.3 points due to the decrease in payroll for managed entities.
Depreciation. Depreciation decreased $28,000, or 10%, from $284,000 in 2001 to $256,000 in 2002, primarily due to certain in-service assets being fully depreciated. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation remained relatively flat.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Other
Revenues. Revenues decreased $89,000, or 10%, from $908,000 in 2001 to $819,000 in 2002, primarily due to a decline in software activities as potential customers await the new version of First Resort Software released in July 2002.
Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses decreased $14,000, or 3%, from $486,000 in 2001 to $472,000 in 2002, primarily due to a decline in software sales activity, As a percentage of revenues, direct operating expenses increased 4.1 points, primarily due to the decrease in revenues.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $423,000, or 14%, from $2.9 million in 2001 to $3.4 million in 2002, primarily due to the regional accounting center and new technology office that were not fully staffed until the end of 2001.
Other expenses from managed entities. These operations do not have any arrangements with managed entities to receive reimbursements for any payroll related costs.
Depreciation. Depreciation increased $161,000, or 34%, from $471,000 in 2001 to $632,000 in 2002, primarily due to increased technology capital expenditures related to enhancements to our website and the implementation of our new financial management technology platform. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation increased 25.3 points due to the increase in technology capital expenditures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
ResortQuest conducts all of its operations through its subsidiaries operating in over 50 premier resort locations. Accordingly, the primary internal source of our liquidity is through the cash flows realized from our subsidiaries and our long-term borrowings. We utilize a consolidated daily cash management system that allows us to fully utilize all unrestricted cash to repay outstanding debt in order to reduce our net interest expense.
We generated $12.7 million of cash in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 primarily due to increases in deferred revenue and property owner payables. Cash used in investing activities was approximately $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, due to $1.4 million in net acquisition related payments and $4.5 million in purchases of property, equipment and software. The majority of these costs represent our continued investment in the new release of our First Resort Software product launched in July 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, cash used in financing activities totaled $4.0 million, primarily due to net repayments on
Page 18 of 25
borrowings under our Credit Facility.
At June 30, 2002, we had approximately $40.0 million in cash, of which $36.9 million represents cash held in escrow. The cash held in escrow is released at varying times in accordance with state regulations, generally based upon the guest stay or, in the case of real estate sales deposits, when the property is sold. At June 30, 2002, we had a working capital deficit of $30.2 million and up to $15.1 million remaining, subject to certain restrictions, available under our Credit Facility. We anticipate that our cash flows from operations will provide cash in excess of our normal working capital needs, debt service requirements and planned capital expenditures over the next year.
Long-Term Borrowings
As of June 30, 2002, our long-term debt, including current maturities, was comprised of $50.0 million in Senior Notes due June 2004, $24.8 million in borrowings under our Credit Facility that expires in January 2004 and $169,000 in capital lease obligations and other borrowings assumed in connection with certain acquisitions that have varying maturities through 2004. At June 30, 2002 the Company was in violation under our Credit Facility of a fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the agreement. Compliance with such covenant was waived by lenders in a limited waiver agreement dated June 28, 2002.
Registration and Equity Offerings
We have registered 8.0 million shares of common stock through various shelf registration statement filings. As of June 30, 2002, we had issued 3,289,487 shares under these shelf registration statements in connection with acquisitions, with the remaining 4,710,513 shares available for future acquisitions.
Acquisition Strategy
Although our strategy for the next few quarters is to focus on internal growth, we intend to continue to pursue, subject to our debt agreements, selected acquisition opportunities in strategic and existing markets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional businesses or successfully integrate acquired businesses into our operations without substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial problems. Increased competition for acquisition candidates may develop, in which event there may be fewer acquisition opportunities available to us, as well as higher acquisition prices. Furthermore, acquisitions involve a number of risks, including the failure of acquired companies to achieve anticipated results, diversion of managements attention, failure to retain key personnel, risks associated with unanticipated events or liabilities and amortization of acquired intangible assets. Some or all of these could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the associated potential capital commitments are unpredictable. We expect to fund future acquisitions primarily through a combination of cash flows from operations, borrowings under our Credit Facility, other debt fundings and the issuance of common stock. Our ability to fund future acquisitions through borrowings under the Credit Facility may be limited by certain restrictive covenants of the facility, the satisfaction of which may be dependent upon our ability to raise additional equity through either offerings for cash or the issuance of stock as consideration for acquisitions.
Non-compete and Employment Agreements
We have entered into non-compete agreements with many of the former owners of the companies that now comprise ResortQuest. These non-compete agreements are generally three to five years in length effective the day the operations are merged with ResortQuest. Additionally, we have entered into employment agreements with many of these former owners, all senior corporate officers and several key employees. Among other things, these agreements allow for severance payments and some include acceleration of stock option awards upon a change in control of ResortQuest, as defined under the agreements. At June 30, 2002, the maximum amount of compensation that would be payable under all agreements if a change in control occurred without prior written notice would be approximately $16.8 million.

Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations
Our business is highly seasonal. Our results of operations are subject to quarterly fluctuations caused primarily by the seasonal variations in the vacation rental and property management industry, with peak seasons dependent on whether the resort is primarily a summer or winter destination. Our quarterly results of operations may also be subject to fluctuations as a result of the timing and cost of acquisitions, the timing of real estate sales, changes in relationships with travel providers, extreme weather conditions or other factors affecting leisure travel and the vacation rental and property management industry.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We continually evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those related to bad debts, trade and other receivables, valuation of property, equipment and software, goodwill, self-insurance reserves, and contingencies and litigation. Our estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
Trade and other receivables are reflected net of an estimated allowance for doubtful accounts. This estimate is based primarily on historical experience and assumptions with respect to future payment trends.
Property, equipment and software are stated at cost, or in the case of equipment acquired under capital lease, the present value of future lease payments, less accumulated depreciation. Certain costs for developing, customizing and installing software for internal use and for sale to third parties are capitalized. Revenues related to the sale of software to third parties are recognized when the systems are installed. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the recorded assets or the lease terms. We periodically, or upon the occurrence of certain events, review the balances of these long-lived assets for possible impairment. The assessment of long-lived assets for impairment requires us to make certain judgments, including the estimate of cash flows from the respective assets.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, as of January 1, 2002, the goodwill balance recorded by the Company is no longer amortized, but reviewed annually and upon the occurrence of certain events for impairment. The calculation of the impairment charge recorded on January 1, 2002 requires us to make estimates of future cash flows with respect to the identified net assets acquired. Prior to January 1, 2002, goodwill has been amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years, other than that associated with the acquisition of First Resort Software, Inc., which has been amortized over 15 years.
We are self-insured for various levels of workers compensation and employee medical and dental insurance coverage. Insurance reserves include the present values of projected settlements for claims. Projected settlements are estimated based on historical trends and actuarial data.
We are involved with various legal actions arising in the course of our business. Legal reserves are established for actions where the outcomes of the cases are probable and monetary damages are reasonably estimable as determined by in-house and external legal counsel. We do not believe that any of the remaining actions will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Revenues are primarily derived through property management fees, service fees and real estate commissions. Property management fees are recognized ratably over the guest stay. Service fees are recognized as services are provided. Real estate commissions are recognized for real estate brokerage commissions at time of closing.
New Accounting Pronouncements
During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, we changed our method of accounting for reimbursable costs to conform to the Financial Accounting Standards Boards Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 01-14, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket Expenses Incurred (EITF No. 01-14), issued earlier this year and effective for us on January 1, 2002. As a result, reimbursements received are recorded as revenue and the costs incurred on behalf of managed associations and properties are recorded as expenses. These costs, which relate primarily to payroll costs at managed properties and associations where we are the employer, are reflected in other revenue and expenses from managed entities in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Revenue and expenses for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Since the reimbursements are made based upon the costs incurred with no added margin, the expenses and related revenue are identical, and thus the adoption of EITF No. 01-14 did not have any effect on our operating income, total or per share net income, cash flows or financial position.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Statement No. 141 eliminates the poolings-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations and requires all transactions initiated after June 30, 2001, to be accounted for using the purchase method. Under Statement No. 142, goodwill related to our future acquisitions is not subject to amortization, and goodwill related to our historical acquisitions is no longer amortized as of January 1, 2002. Goodwill is subject to reviews for impairment annually and upon the occurrence of certain events, and if impaired, a write-down will be recorded. Upon our adoption of Statement No. 142, each of our geographical resort regions with assigned goodwill was valued as a reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit was greater than the book value, including assigned goodwill, no further testing was required. However, if the book value, including goodwill, was greater than the fair value of the reporting unit, the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit needed to be valued. The difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of the assets is the implied fair value of goodwill. To the extent that the implied fair value of goodwill was less than the book value of goodwill, an impairment charge was recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Based on this test, we recorded a non-cash $8.1 million write-down of our goodwill related to our Desert resort operations, partially off-set by a $1.9 million income tax benefit. The Desert resort operations are expected to continue to experience declining cash flows as a result of the economics of the Desert markets. See Note 2 for the table presenting the adjusted net income and earnings per share excluding goodwill amortization.
We have completed the process of evaluating the impact of Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, and we do not expect this statement to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon its adoption in 2003. Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets; the adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Statement No. 145, Rescission of Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections, was issued and has been adopted. This adoption had no material impact to our financial position or results of operations. Also during the quarter ended June 30, 2002, Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, was issued and is effective for activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company has yet to evaluate the impact of this statement and is therefore unable to disclose the impact that adopting Statement No. 146 will have on its financial position and results of operations when such statement is adopted.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We do not have significant market risk with respect to interest rates, foreign currency exchanges or other market rate or price risks, and we do not hold any financial instruments for trading purposes. At June 30, 2002, $24.8 million of our long-term borrowings accrue interest at variable interest rates. Based on this debt level, annual interest expense would increase by approximately $129,000, if interest rates were to increase by 52 basis points, or 10%, over the current weighted average interest rate of these variable rate borrowings.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On May 26, 2000, Hotel Corp. of the Pacific, Inc., a subsidiary of ResortQuest International doing business as Aston Hotels & Resorts, instituted legal proceedings in the Circuit Court for the First Circuit of Hawaii against Andre S. Tatibouet, the president of Hotel Corp. This action arose out of a document styled Cooperation Agreement that was signed by Andre S. Tatibouet, purporting to act on behalf of Hotel Corp., on the one hand, with Cendant Global Services B.V. and Aston Hotels & Resorts International, Inc., on the other hand. The Cooperation Agreement contains several provisions that are detrimental to Hotel Corp., including provisions purporting to transfer certain intellectual property and limit certain intellectual property rights held by Hotel Corp. Monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation were sought by Hotel Corp. By order of the Circuit Court, the claims asserted by Hotel Corp. in the lawsuit were consolidated with an arbitration demand, filed with the American Arbitration Association by Mr. Tatibouet, in which he alleged various breaches of his employment agreement with Hotel Corp.
The arbitration hearing took place in September 2001, where Mr. Tatibouet claimed damages of approximately $17.5 million and ResortQuest claimed damages of approximately $4.7 million. On March 14, 2002, the arbitration panel issued its Reasoned Opinion and Final Award. The panel concluded that Mr. Tatibouet had breached his fiduciary duty to Hotel Corp. and awarded Hotel Corp. $55,559 related to the reimbursement of certain legal expenses. The panel denied all of Mr. Tatibouets claims and requests for damages as well as declaratory and other relief.
On May 26, 2000, ResortQuest International and Hotel Corp. bought and action in the Circuit Court for the First Circuit of Hawaii against Cendant Corporation, Aston Hotels & Resort International Inc. and Cendant Global Services B.V (Defendants) seeking damages for breach of contract against Cendant, and the equitable remedies or rescission and replevin. This action arose out of Mr. Andre S. Tatibouets purported negotiation on behalf of Hotel Corp. of the Pacific, Inc., a subsidiary of ResortQuest International, of a document styled Cooperation Agreement in March 2002.
ResortQuest and Cendant entered into an amended Cooperation Agreement on July 15, 2002. As a result of the execution of that agreement, on July 15, 2002 ResortQuest moved to dismiss its court action against Defendants by filing a stipulation for complete dismissal with prejudice as to all claims and parties.
We are also involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that any of the remaining actions will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
