Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Registrants operations are seasonal with the highest volume of sales occurring in the first quarter of each calendar year. The third quarter has historically produced the lowest volume of sales. Consequently, the Registrants financial condition declined slightly during the third quarter of 2002. However, due to the earlier seasonal period, the Registrants financial condition at September 30, 2002 is improved when compared with its fiscal year-end of December 31, 2001. The primary effect of this seasonal period was an increase in current assets and accumulated earnings.
The Registrants loan agreement for its existing debt provides for an additional $5,000,000 from the same lender if the Registrant remains in compliance with certain financial covenants (see Note 5. Notes Payable of the Notes to Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference).
The Registrant has completed construction of new laundry and warehouse facilities to replace a structure that was damaged by fire in January of 2001. The cost for this project (net of related insurance proceeds) was $1,305,000. There were no other significant capital additions or improvements during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and no other major capital projects are anticipated in the remaining fiscal period. Future operating costs and planned expenditures for capital additions and improvements should be funded by the Registrants current cash reserves, cash generated by resort operations or by additional funds, if available, from its current lender discussed above.
Results of Operations
Total revenues decreased $365,000, or 7%, for the third quarter of 2002 when compared with the same period in 2001 and decreased $9,731,000, or 25%, for the first nine months of 2002 when compared with the same period in 2001. These results reflect less occupied unit nights, average daily room rates and numbers of guests in the resort for the current periods when compared to the prior year. Anticipated occupied room nights for the remainder of 2002 are expected to approximate the prior years low level due to the continued slowdown in the nations economy and concerns about national security that have adversely affected travel. Projections for occupied room nights in the year 2003 and subsequent fiscal periods are expected to remain at the resorts current volume of business pending an improvement in national concerns.
A net loss for the third quarter of 2002 decreased $873,000, or 31%, from the same period in 2001 while the net income for the first nine months of 2002 decreased $2,019,000, or 61%, from the same period in 2001. These results were directly related the lower revenues for the current periods and are benefited by several measures that were taken in the fall of 2001 to reduce the Registrants cost of operation.
Due to the seasonal business of the Registrant, the results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for their full fiscal year.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation
The results of the Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation (the Rental Pool) are directly related to the hotel operations of the Registrant. The Registrant operates the Rental Pool that provides for a distribution of a percentage of net rental income to participating condominium unit owners. Net rental income is calculated and distributed according to the provisions of a Rental Pool and Agency Appointment Agreement (the Agreement). The level of the Registrants occupancy and related average daily room rate directly impacts revenues and expenses used to determine the distribution. The Agreement also provides for a portion of the Rental Pool distribution to be held in escrow by the Registrant (the Escrow Fund) to pay for the maintenance of and improvements to the condominium unit interiors.
The average occupancies for the Rental Pool for the quarters ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 were 26% and 27%, respectively. The average distributions of net rental income per participating condominium unit for the same periods were $900 and $881, respectively. The slight increase in the average distribution of net rental income was directly related to slightly higher Rental Pool revenues that increased the net amount available for distribution for the current quarter when compared to the same period the prior year.
The Registrant is currently renovating the condo unit kitchens, bathrooms and carpeting. This project commenced in 1998 and has been completed for unit Clusters One through Eight with an aggregate billing to the Escrow Fund of $5,239,000.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Registrant does not have significant market risk with respect to foreign currency exchanges or other market rates. The Registrants debt has a fixed interest rate through the year 2012 and, accordingly, fluctuations in interest rates are not expected to affect financial results in the near future.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Registrants management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Registrants Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Registrants disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the Registrants periodic SEC filings.
There have been no significant changes in the Registrants internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer carried out this evaluation.
