Item 1. Business
Golf Host Resorts, Inc. (the Company) was formed in July 1972 and is engaged in the operation of The Westin Innisbrook Resort in Tarpon Springs, Florida (Innisbrook) and Sheraton Tamarron Resort in Durango, Colorado (Tamarron) through November 18, 2001. Innisbrook and Tamarron (the Resorts) offer championship quality golf facilities, restaurant and conference facilities, recreational activities including swimming and tennis and related resort activities. The Resorts are managed by Westin Hotel Company and Sheraton Operating Corporation, respectively, under long-term management agreements. Effective November 19, 2001, Tamarron was sold to an unaffiliated entity. | |||
Prior to June 23, 1997, the Company was an 80% owned subsidiary of Golf Hosts, Inc. (GHI). The minority shareholders of the Company were also the majority shareholders of GHI. On June 23, 1997, TM Golf Hosts, Inc. (TMGHI) acquired all of the outstanding shares of the Company. Concurrently, TMGHI and GHI merged with the legal survivor being GHI, which now owns 100% of the Company. | |||
The Company receives significant revenue from food and beverage sales, and from golf operations (primarily golf fees and merchandise sales). Also, during 1994, the Company undertook the development of nine residential homesites at Tamarron, identified as Estates at Tamarron-Highpoint. All of the homesites have been sold and closed with the last closing occurring in 1997. During 1995, the Company began a second development of nine residential homesites, Estates at Tamarron-Pine Ridge. Two of the sites were sold and closed during 1996, four during 1998, and the remaining three were sold and closed during 1999. | |||
During 1999, the Company began a third development of nine residential homesites, Estates at Tamarron Crescent Ridge. All nine homesites were sold and closed during 2000. All other developable land was sold contemporaneously with the sale of Tamarron on November 19, 2001. | |||
The majority of the condominium owners at the Resorts provide such apartments as resort accommodations under rental pool lease operations. The Resorts are the lessees under the lease operation agreements, which provide for the distribution of a percentage of room revenues, as defined, to participating condominium owners. Accordingly, the Company does not bear the expense of financing as well as certain other operating costs of the rental units. The Company bears the expense of all other operating aspects of the Resorts. | |||
Condominium ownership, simply stated, is a realty subdivision in which the individual lots are apartment units. Instead of owning a plot of ground, the condominium owner owns the air space where his condominium unit is located. This leaves substantial properties in interest which are not individually owned, e.g., the underlying land, roadways, parking lots, building foundations, exterior walls and roofs, garden areas, utility lines, et cetera. These areas are termed common property or common elements and each condominium owner has an undivided fractional interest in such property. The condominium owners at each of the Resorts have established an Association of Condominium Owners to administer and maintain such property and to conduct business of the condominium owners, such as maintaining insurance on the real property, upkeep of the structures, maintenance of the grounds, and provisions for certain utilities. The Associations assess fees to defray such expenses and to establish necessary reserves. Such charges, if not timely paid, may constitute a lien upon the separate condominium units. Each condominium owner must pay ad valorem property taxes and assessments for electricity, and to such matters independent of the other unit owners. These expenses would be incurred by owners of condominium units, regardless of an election to participate in the rental pool. With respect to governing the affairs of the Association, which is subject to state statutes, the participating condominium owners are accorded one (1) vote per condominium unit owned. |

The Company hosts approximately a thousand conferences and related group meetings each year with its clients coming from a variety of industries, primarily from the central and eastern United States. Accordingly, the loss of a single client or a few clients would have no significant adverse effect on the Companys business. | |||
The conference-oriented resort business is quite competitive; however, the Company has established itself as a leader in its industry and enjoys an excellent reputation with its clients. Its major competitors are other conference and golf-oriented resorts throughout the country. | |||
The Resorts revenues are seasonal, with Innisbrooks peak season being in the winter and spring and Tamarrons being in the summer. | |||
The Company has, on average, approximately 1,000 employees (750 at Innisbrook and 250 at Tamarron). |
Item 2. Description of Properties
Innisbrook is a condominium resort project situated on approximately 850 acres of land located in the northern portion of Pinellas County, Florida, near the Gulf of Mexico. It is north of Clearwater (approximately 9 miles) and west of Tampa (approximately 20 miles). There are 938 condominium units, 36 of which are strictly residential, with the balance eligible for rental pool participation. Of these 902 eligible units, 500, on average, participate in the rental pool. The resort complex includes 72 holes of golf; practice ranges; three clubhouses with retail golf, food and beverage outlets; three conference and exhibit buildings; five swimming pools; a themed water attraction; a recreation center; tennis/fitness facility and numerous administrative and support structures. | |||
Tamarron, which was sold on November 19, 2001, is a condominium resort project situated on approximately 730 acres of land located in the northern portion of La Plata County, Colorado. It is north of Durango (approximately 18 miles) and south of Silverton (approximately 28 miles). The property is surrounded on three sides by the San Juan National Forest and is readily accessible via U. S. Highway 550. There are 381 condominium units, all of which are eligible for rental pool participation. Approximately 275 units, on average, participate in the rental pool. The resort complex includes 18 holes of golf; a practice range; an indoor swimming pool/fitness facility; several restaurants and lounges; a conference facility; a tennis complex and numerous administrative and support facilities and structures. | |||
During 1994 and 1995, approximately 24 acres of land at Tamarron were set aside for the Estates at Tamarron residential homesite development. |

At December 31, 2001, Innisbrook is encumbered by various mortgages totaling $78,975,000. Reference is made to Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Golf Host Resorts, Inc. and Subsidiary contained elsewhere in this filing for a more detailed description of these mortgages. |
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company, in the normal course of operations, is subject to claims and lawsuits. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of such matters will materially impair operations or have an adverse effect on the Companys financial position and results of operations. | |||
The Company has been named as a defendant in a consolidated class action lawsuit whereby the plaintiffs allege breaches of contract, including breaches in connection with the Rental Pool Master Lease Agreement. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages and declaratory judgment declaring that the plaintiffs are entitled to participate in the rental pool if one exists and a limitation of golf course access to persons who are either condominium owners, members, their accompanied guests, or guests of the resort. Deposition of class members and others, including depositions of prior executives of Golf Host Resorts, have been taken and additional discovery remains. A court date of February 3, 2003 has been set. As this litigation is still in its early stages, the Company is not yet able to determine whether the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations although the Company believes it has successful defenses and intends to vigorously defend this action. |
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
Not applicable |
Part II
Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
The Companys stock is privately held and there is no established market for the stock. | |||
There are a total of 1,283 condominium units allowing rental pool participation by their owners, of which three are owned by a subsidiary of the Company, Golf Host Condominium, Inc. (GHC). Of the units not owned by GHC, 1,259 were sold under Registration Statements effective through March 1, 1983. The remaining 21 units were sold via private offerings exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condominium units not owned by the Company or its affiliate are held by approximately 1,145 different owners. | |||
The condominium units sold by the Company, allowing rental pool participation, are deemed to be securities because of the rental pool feature (see Item 1); however, there is no market for such securities other than the normal real estate market. | |||
Since the security is real estate, no dividends have been paid or will be paid. |

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Guest occupancy during the last three years, measured by room nights, was as follows: |
YEAR | ROOM NIGHTS | % CHANGE | ||||||
2001 |
131,777 | (16.1 | ) | |||||
2000 |
164,052 | (4.6 | ) | |||||

2001 Compared to 2000 | |||
For the year ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Company recognized total revenue in the approximate amount of $47,719,000 and $56,506,000 respectively, from the rental of condominium units, sales of food and beverage, golf operations and auxiliary services. The net reduction in overall Innisbrook revenue in the amount of $8,787,000 or 15.6% results from the reduction in room nights which reduced gross revenues by $9,300,000 netted against improvements in room night spending of $513,000. Average company wide customer spending increased from $403.27 per room night in 2000 to $425.40 in 2001. On a specific property basis, room nights declined at both properties. Room nights were down approximately 21,100 and 5,400 for Innisbrook and Tamarron respectively. The majority of this reduction occurred in the fourth quarter as a result of the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. For example, in the fourth quarter of 2001, Innisbrook and Tamarron had 12,763 and 2,026 fewer room nights sold as compared to the same period last year. The travel market response to the attacks coupled with the general downturn in the hospitality industry and destination golf resorts in general is a significant challenge to the Company. Operating expenses and losses on Assets Held for Sale totaled approximately $49,326,000 and $61,812,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 2000 respectively. This decrease was directly related to the reduction in overall business levels for the comparative periods. The reduction in expenses of $12,487,000 or 20.2% was the result of a reduction in the rental pool distribution of $1,030,000 due to the reduction in room nights and resultant room revenue; reductions in the Tamarron losses of $398,000; decrease in depreciation and amortization of $425,000; decrease in repairs and maintenance expense of $527,000; decrease in sales and marketing expense of $481,000; gain on the sale of land of $1,153,000; reduction in payroll and related expenses of $1,805,000; reduction in the intangible write down of $4,441,000 and reduction in all other operating expenses in the aggregate of $2,227,000. | |||
Interest, net for the year ended December 31, 2001, was approximately $9,263,000 as compared to $9,501,000 for the period ended December 31, 2000. This $237,000 decrease is the result of: a decrease in interest costs associated with the Accounts Receivable credit line of $62,000; a decrease in expense of $102,000 related to the prior Shareholders loan, offset by a contractual increase in the Golf Trust of America mortgage of $430,000 less amortization of the effective interest rate adjustment of $401,000 on that loan. Other interest items, net of interest income, in the aggregate reduced by $102,000. | |||
Effective February 3, 1998, the Companys election to be treated as a Subchapter S corporation became effective. Subsequent to the 1998 filing period, income taxes are no longer provided at the Company level. |

2000 Compared to 1999 | |||
For the years ended December 31, 2000, and December 31, 1999, the Company recognized total revenue in the approximate amount of $56,506,000 and $59,653,000, respectively, from the rental of condominium units, sales of food and beverage, golf operations, and auxiliary services. The net reduction in overall revenue in the amount of $3,147,000 or 5.3% results from the reduction in room nights noted above equating to revenue reduction of $2,737,000 compounded by a decrease in average spending per room night in the aggregate of $336,000. Average spending per room night increased from $401.56 in 1999 to $403.27 in 2000. Room nights at both the Innisbrook and Tamarron properties experienced a reduction from 1999. Innisbrook and Tamarron had approximately 7,300 and 600 fewer room nights, respectively. These decreases reflected the continuing increase in competition within this market segment in addition to a general slow down during 2000 in the hospitality industry. | |||
Operating expenses and losses on assets held for sale totaled approximately $61,812,000 and $55,970,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000, and December 31, 1999, respectively. This increase of $5,842,000 or 10% is a result of: a decrease in the rental pool distribution of $751,000, which is directly related to the reduced room nights noted above; a reduction in Tamarrons operating losses of $297,000; decreased Sales and Marketing expenses amounting to $233,000; a reduction in the gain on land sales in the amount of $1,295,000; an increase in depreciation and amortization in the amount of $301,000; a provision for intangible impairment of $7,441,000; an increase in payroll and related expenses of $22,000; and a net decrease in all other expenses such as repairs and maintenance, fertilizers and chemicals, office supplies, housekeeping supplies, etc. in the aggregate of $1,936,000. These reductions were implemented in anticipation of reduced operating revenues for the period. | |||
Interest, net for the year ended December 31, 2000, was approximately $9,501,000 as compared to $9,207,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. This $294,000 increase, or 3.2%, results from the increase in payments and accruals relating to the GTA financing amounting to $70,000, an increase in utilization of the account receivable credit line generating an $85,000 increase in expense, a reduction in balances owed to the former shareholders producing $4,000 in reduced interest expense, a decrease in interest expense associated with accrued property taxes, short-term affiliate loans, capital leases and financial institution service charges, all in the aggregate of approximately $31,000; and a reduction of interest earnings on affiliate advances in the amount of $174,000. | |||
During 1999, the Company changed its accounting procedures for start-up costs related to the transition from Hilton Hotel Corporation to Westin Hotels and Resorts. This change in accounting policy resulted in a one-time write-off of $1,673,000 in 1999. |

Financial Condition and Liquidity
The Companys working capital at December 31, 2001, exclusive of assets held for sale (inclusive of debt in default in the approximate of $78,975,000), was a deficit of $89,761,000 and the Companys cash flow from operational sources are currently tight. The Company has failed to timely pay its primary mortgage obligations from the October requirements and subsequent periods. The Company typically experiences seasonal fluctuation in its net working capital position without significantly impairing its ability to pay trade creditors in a timely manner and satisfy its financial obligations in an orderly fashion. As a result of the default notice received from GTA (see Note 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements), our revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Credit Corporation was terminated by Wells Fargo on May 23, 2002. | |||
As of July 2002, the Company is seeking to negotiate a Settlement Agreement with GTA. In connection with the proposed Settlement Agreement, the Company would transfer to GTA the resort property, three condominium apartments located at the Innisbrook Resort, the Companys GTA stock and OP unit interests, and all rights, title and interests of the Company under existing contracts and agreements. In addition, the Company would provide a limited indemnity to defend and hold harmless GTA (and its affiliates) from and against any and all costs, liabilities, claims, losses, judgments or damages arising out of or in connection with the Class Action Lawsuit, as well as liabilities accruing on or before the closing date relating to employee benefits and liabilities for contracts or agreements not disclosed by the Company to GTA. In return, it is anticipated that GTA would deliver to the Company a duly executed release. No Settlement Agreement has yet been signed and no terms are definite. Neither GTA nor any of its affiliates is under any obligation to continue negotiating with the Company or to execute the Settlement Agreement and could initiate foreclosure proceedings and pursue its other remedies at any time. | |||
As a result of the additional cash sources and GTA settlement issue described above, the Company assesses its liquidity as unsatisfactory. Failure to reach a settlement with GTA will seriously impair the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. |
Item 7A. 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 contractual interest rate through the year 2027 and, accordingly, fluctuations in interest rates are not expected to affect financial results. |

As part of the terms of the management agreement for Innisbrook, Westin guaranteed minimum cash flow to Innisbrook. The terms of the agreement provide that if incentive cash flow, as defined, is less than the minimum annual payment, as defined, for the operating year, Westin will advance Innisbrook the shortage up to $2.5 million with the advance being repayable when the Company has available cash, as defined. In addition, the Company signed an agreement under which Westin will provide 50% of the funding for approved capital expenditures incurred subsequent to the Acquisition in excess of $6 million, plus 50% of capital expenditures in excess of capital reserve requirements on an annual basis, as defined. The aggregate amounts outstanding, including accounts payable, were approximately $13,895,000 and $9,073,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. | |
During 2000, the Company dividended the assets and liabilities of Tamarron of approximately $6,200,000, net, to GHI, who contributed them to Golf Host II, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of GHI. Concurrently with the dividend of Tamarron, the Company entered into a lease agreement whereby Golf Host II, Inc. (GH II) leased Tamarron to the Company. Rent is payable in the amount of $1 per annum and the Company assumes responsibility for Tamarrons net income (loss), as defined by the lease agreement. Effective November 19, 2001 Tamarron was sold and the Company has no remaining responsibility under the lease and rental pool agreements. |

Item 14. Controls & Procedures
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Registrants management, including the Chief Executive officer, the Principal Financial Officer and the Registrants agent (Westin North American Management Company), 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.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
To the Shareholder and Board of Directors of Golf Host Resorts, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in shareholders deficit and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Golf Host Resorts, Inc. and subsidiary at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for start-up costs in 1999.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has negative working capital and has a shareholders deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. Additionally, as described in Notes 7 and 10, the Company has defaulted under the terms of its debt agreement and is a defendant to a class action lawsuit. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Golf Host Resorts, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2001 and 2000
1. | Organization, Business and Liquidity | |
Golf Host Resorts, Inc. (the Company) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Golf Host Inc. (GHI) and owns The Westin Innisbrook Resort (Innisbrook) in Tarpon Springs, Florida and, through November 18, 2001, operated the Sheraton Tamarron Resort (Tamarron) in Durango, Colorado (the Resorts). The Resorts offer championship quality golf facilities, restaurant and conference facilities, and related resort facilities. A majority of the condominium apartment owners at the Resorts provide their units as resort accommodations under rental pool lease operations. | ||
On June 23, 1997, TM Golf Hosts, Inc. (TMGHI) acquired the Company (the Acquisition). The purchase price was approximately $66,333,000, including assumption of certain liabilities. For financial statement purposes, the acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated based upon the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired. | ||
During 2000, the Company dividended the assets and liabilities of Tamarron of approximately $6,200,000, net, to GHI, who contributed them to Golf Host II, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of GHI. Concurrently with the dividend of Tamarron, the Company entered into a lease agreement whereby Golf Host II, Inc. (GH II) leased Tamarron to the Company. Rent is payable in the amount of $1 per annum and the Company assumed responsibility for Tamarrons net income (loss), as defined by the lease agreement. Effective November 19, 2001, Tamarron was sold and the Company has no remaining responsibility under the lease and rental pool agreements (Note 9). | ||
During 2000, the previous owners were released from all continuing claims under the Acquisition and the previous owners amended and restated the mortgage note from $4,418,000 to $3,168,000. The write-down under the terms of the amended mortgage note, net of balances due from the previous owners was approximately $655,000, which was recorded as a reduction of intangible assets. On November 19, 2001, the Tamarron property was sold and the remaining balance of the mortgage note was paid in full (Note 7). | ||
Golf Host Condominium, Inc. (GHC), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was formed on December 1, 1997. GHCs assets consist of three Innisbrook condominiums. A lease agreement between Lost Oaks, L.P., a related party to the Company, and Golf Trust of America, L.P. (GTA), the Companys primary lender, is secured by 89.1% of the stock of GHC and the stock of Golf Host, Inc. (GHI), the parent of the Company. | ||
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has negative working capital at December 31, 2001 of approximately $89,800,000 (inclusive of debt in default in the amount of $78,975,000) and has incurred losses for each of the periods since the Acquisition. Additionally, as described in Note 7, the Company failed to make scheduled interest payments beginning with October 2001, has defaulted under the terms of its debt agreement and is a defendant to a class action lawsuit. |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2001 and 2000
Management is seeking to negotiate a settlement agreement with its lender (Note 7). In addition, management has developed and implemented a plan to increase total resort revenues through targeting guests likely to utilize more resort amenities and continues to review its operating costs to determine where cost savings can be achieved. The Company has an agreement with Westin Hotel Company (Westin) whereby cash deficiencies, as limited and defined by the agreement, arising from the Innisbrook operation will be temporarily funded by Westin (Note 11). | ||
The Companys failure to obtain adequate financing and to meet its plan will result in liquidity problems. As a result of these matters, substantial doubt exists about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. | ||
2. | Accounting Policies | |
Principles of Consolidation | ||
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Golf Host Resorts, Inc. and Golf Host Condominium, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. | ||
Use of Estimates | ||
Preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | ||
The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with a purchased maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the balance represents cash restricted for capital improvements and cash collected on behalf of the former shareholders. | ||
Accounts Receivable | ||
Accounts receivable represents amounts due from resort guests and is net of allowances of $192,000 and $81,000 for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. | ||
Inventories and Supplies | ||
The Company records inventories and supplies at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market. |

Assets Held for Sale | ||
During 2000, the Company dividended the assets and liabilities of Tamarron, an asset acquired at acquisition and held for sale. At December 31, 2000, assets held for sale was a land parcel at Innisbrook. On May 4, 2001, the Company sold the remaining land parcel at Innisbrook included in assets held for sale as of December 31, 2000 for $4,578,000. Net proceeds of $3,928,000 were distributed by the Company to its shareholder. | ||
Property and Equipment | ||
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated deprecation and amortization. Costs of maintenance and repairs of property and equipment used in operations are charged to expense as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are replaced, retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs are deducted from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts. Gains or losses on sales or retirements of buildings, vehicles and certain golf course and recreational facilities are recorded in income. Gains or losses on sales or retirements of all other property and equipment are recorded in the applicable accumulated depreciation accounts in accordance with the composite method. | ||
Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line unit method for buildings, vehicles and certain golf course and recreational facilities and the straight-line composite method for the other components. Estimates of useful lives used in computing annual depreciation are as follows: |
Estimated useful | ||||
life in years | ||||
Land improvements |
28 to 30 | |||
Buildings |
40 | |||
Recreational facilities |
30 | |||
Machinery and equipment |

Other Assets | ||
Other assets consist of costs incurred in conjunction with refurbishment of condominium units provided as resort accommodations under the rental pool lease operations. In accordance with the revised MLA (Note 12), the Company is reimbursed for a portion of the costs incurred by individual condominium owners upon completion of the refurbishment project. The Company will amortize its costs incurred over the term of the revised MLA upon completion of the refurbishment project. | ||
Long-Lived Assets | ||
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 121 (FAS 121), Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, requires the Company to review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the discounted cash flows. |

Intercompany Allocations and Advances | ||
The Company reimburses GHI for administrative and other expenses based on estimated time and expenses incurred. Amounts charged were approximately $293,000, $203,000 and $514,000, for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively, of which $1,423,000 and $1,130,000 was payable to GHI at December 31, 2001 and 2000. | ||
Revenue | ||
Revenue from resort operations is recognized as the related service is performed. Revenue includes rental revenues generated from condominium units owned by third parties participating in the rental pool lease operations. If these rental units were owned by the Company, normal costs associated with ownership such as depreciation, interest, real estate taxes and maintenance would have been incurred. Instead, costs and operating expenses include distributions of approximately $6,322,000, $7,352,000 and $8,102,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, to the rental pool participants, respectively. | ||
Interest, Net | ||
The Companys cash management policy is to utilize cash resources to minimize net interest expense, through either temporary cash investments or reductions in existing interest-bearing obligations. Accordingly, temporary cash investments and interest income vary from period to period. Interest expense is net of interest income of approximately $35,200, $85,200 and $12,200 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. | ||
Employee Benefit Plans | ||
GHI maintains a defined contribution Employee Thrift and Investment Plan (the Plan) which provides retirement benefits for all eligible employees who have elected to participate. Employees must fulfill a 90-day service requirement to be eligible. The Company currently matches one half of the first 6% of an employees contribution. Company contributions approximated $209,000, $215,000 and $212,000, for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and are fully funded. | ||
Reclassifications | ||
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. | ||
New Accounting Pronouncements | ||
On October 3, 2001, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 144 (FAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. FAS 144 excludes goodwill from its scope and, therefore, eliminates the requirement to allocate goodwill to long-lived assets to be tested for impairment. The provisions of FAS 144 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. All of the Companys intangible assets have been specifically identified and will continue to be amortized over their remaining useful lives. |

3. | Accounting Change | |
In 1999, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Executive Committee Statement of Position 98-5 (SOP 98-5), Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. Previously, the Company capitalized start-up costs and amortized these costs over a five-year useful life. In accordance with SOP 98-5, the Company expensed these costs amounting to $1,673,000 to operations during 1999. The initial application of SOP 98-5 has been reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the consolidated financial statements. | ||

Construction in progress (CIP) consists of costs incurred while constructing resort amenities. Interest costs of approximately $50,000 and $80,000 were capitalized to CIP for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. | ||
Depreciation expense of approximately $2,833,000, $2,789,000 and $2,458,000 was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. | ||
5. | Intangible Assets | |
Resulting from the Acquisition, a resort intangible of approximately $30,400,000, relating to acquiring an operating resort property with an existing rental pool agreement, was recorded and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. Amortization expense for all intangible assets was approximately $1,053,000, $1,522,000 and $1,553,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. | ||
During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company recorded a provision for intangible impairment of approximately $7,441,000. The Company experienced significant changes in business and market conditions, which led to declines in the results of operations and the number of participants in the rental pool. Due to these changes, the Company concluded that impairment had occurred. An impairment charge was required because estimated fair value of the intangible was less than its carrying value. |

During 2001, the Company has continued to experience significant declines in business associated both with its corporate and transient customers. Advance bookings for 2002 and subsequent years continue to lag behind the Companys historical results and from all indications, does not appear to indicate a reversal of that trend in the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company has again had to evaluate its carrying value of the intangible asset. Proforma cash flow estimates have been developed based upon expected business levels, which indicate that further impairment of the intangible has occurred. Consequently, the Company has recognized an additional $3,000,000 impairment of the intangible asset during 2001. | ||

At December 31, 2001 and 2000, approximately $2,980,000 and $2,313,000 was available under the $3,000,000 accounts receivable line of credit, net of a $20,000 reserve. Effective May 23, 2002, this credit facility has been terminated by the lender as a result of the GTA default. | ||
Concurrent with the Acquisition, the Company obtained a $78,975,000 note payable from GTA. The note payable has two components: a $69,975,000 participating mortgage note and a $9,000,000 credit facility. The note payable is guaranteed by GHI and secured by substantially all assets other than Innisbrooks accounts receivable. | ||
The note payable agreement stipulates that Additional Collateral is released when the ratio of Innisbrooks Net Operating Income equals or exceeds a coverage ratio to Debt Service, as defined. The coverage ratio was not met for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 or 1999. The agreement defines unpledged GTA shares and/or the proceeds of the sale of these shares as Additional Collateral. | ||
The participating mortgage note was used to finance the Companys Acquisition and purchase of GTA stock. The participating mortgage note calls for initial annual interest payments of $6,739,063 with an annual 5% increase in the interest payment commencing January 1, 1998 and continuing each year through 2002. Interest, payable monthly, has been recorded using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is approximately 11.5% over the life of the note payable. In addition, the participating mortgage note calls for participation payments based upon levels of revenue, as defined, of the Innisbrook property (Participating Interest). No participating interest has been incurred for the three years ending December 31, 2001. | ||
Principal on the GTA note payable is due at maturity on June 23, 2027. Upon expiration or earlier termination of the participating mortgage note, GTA has the option to purchase Innisbrook at fair market value. | ||
The $9,000,000 credit facility bears interest initially at a 9.75% fixed rate with an annual 5% interest escalator commencing January 1, 1998 (11.53%, 11.03% and 10.51% for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively) and continuing each year through 2002. As of December 31, 2001, the Company has drawn the full $9,000,000 available under this facility. | ||
On May 22, 2001, GTA, the lender on the $78,975,000 note payable, announced that its shareholders approved a plan for its liquidation. The impact of GTAs plan of its liquidation on the Company, if any, is uncertain. Additionally, the Company was informed by GTA on November 29, 2001 that the Company is in default on the $78,975,000 note payable with GTA arising from the Companys failure to pay the October 2001 interest payment and all subsequent principal and interest payments. GTA has asserted its right to accelerate payment of the total outstanding principal amounts. |

As of November 2002, the Company is seeking to negotiate a Settlement Agreement with GTA. In connection with the proposed Settlement Agreement, the Company would transfer to GTA the resort property, three condominium units located at the Innisbrook Resort, the acquired interest in GTA stock and operations held by the parent, and all rights, title and interests of the Company under existing contracts and agreements. In addition, the Company would provide a limited indemnity to defend and hold harmless GTA (and its affiliates) from and against any and all costs, liabilities, claims, losses, judgments or damages arising out of or in connection with the Class Action Lawsuit, as well as liabilities accruing on or before the closing date relating to employee benefits and liabilities for contracts or agreements not disclosed by the Company to GTA. In return, it is anticipated that GTA would deliver to the Company a duly executed release. A Settlement Agreement has yet to be signed and no terms are definite. Neither GTA nor any of its affiliates is under any obligation to continue negotiating with the Company or to execute the Settlement Agreement and could initiate foreclosure proceedings and pursue its other remedies at any time. | ||
The Company incurred interest expense of $9,084,000, $9,227,000 and $9,005,000 on the GTA note payable during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 of which $5,448,000 and $3,838,000 was payable at December 31, 2001 and 2000. Accrued interest is classified as current as a result of default and results from the effective interest method discussed above. | ||
As a condition under the note payable agreement with GTA, the Company acquired 159,326 common shares of Golf Trust of America, Inc. (the 100% owner of GTA) and 274,000 Operating Partnership Units (OPUs) in GTA for $8,975,000 with an option to acquire for $26 per unit 150,000 additional OPUs. The note payable agreement restricts the Companys ability to sell its investments in GTA until certain Company operating results, as defined, are attained. The Company distributed its GTA investment to its parent upon acquisition. | ||
The Company obtained a $5,000,000 mortgage note on June 20, 1997, collateralized by certain assets at Innisbrook, from the previous owners as a part of the acquisition. The note bore interest at a fixed rate of 6.34% with interest payable quarterly. The Company incurred interest expense of $162,000, $240,000 and $291,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, of which $0 and $6,100 was payable at December 31, 2001 and 2000. This note was paid in full commensurate with the sale of the Tamarron property (Note 9). | ||
The Company has leased property under capital leases expiring in 2003. Principal payments under the leases are payable as follows: 2002 $609,000 and 2003 $30,000. | ||
8. | Income Taxes | |
On April 17, 1998, the Company filed an election with the Internal Revenue Service to change its tax status to a Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary effective February 3, 1998. As a result of this election, all applicable deferred tax liabilities have been removed from the balance sheet and reflected as an extraordinary item in the consolidated statements of operations. The remaining deferred tax liability represents the estimated liability for taxes to be paid on built-in gains associated with the planned sale of assets within the statutory 10-year period from Acquisition. During 2001, certain of these assets were sold, resulting in an income tax benefit of $515,000. |

Rental Pool Distribution | ||
The Company offered, effective January 1, 1998, a separate Guaranteed Distribution Master Lease Agreement (GMLA) to Innisbrook participants. Among other things, the GMLA provides for an equal sharing between the Company and Innisbrook participants of Adjusted Gross Revenues and includes as deductions from the Gross Income Distribution, as defined, a 5.5% Management Fee and a 3% Marketing Fee. The Company also guaranteed that distributions will not be less than an amount which approximates the 1996 Gross Income Distribution, as prorated based upon Weighted Days Pool Participation, as defined. No amounts were required to be paid under the guarantee for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. The GMLA has a noncancelable term through 2011 with an annual rental pool participation election by individual unit owners. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, a revised MLA was presented to the rental pool participants, effective January 1, 2002 (Note 12). | ||
Legal | ||
The Company has been named as a defendant in a consolidated class action lawsuit whereby the plaintiffs allege breaches of contract, including breaches in connection with the Rental Pool Master Lease Agreement. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages and declaratory judgment declaring that the plaintiffs are entitled to participate in the rental pool if one exists and a limitation of golf course access to persons who are either condominium owners, members, their accompanied guests, or guests of the resort. Deposition of class members and others, including depositions of prior executives of Golf Host Resorts, have been taken and additional discovery remains. A court date has been set for February 3, 2003. As this litigation is still in its early stages, the Company is not yet able to determine whether the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations although the Company believes it has successful defenses based upon consultations with legal counsel and intends to vigorously defend this action. | ||
The Company, in the normal course of operations, is also subject to claims and lawsuits by employees, guests and vendors. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will materially impair operations or have an adverse effect on the Companys financial position and results of operations. | ||
11. | Westin Agreements | |
Westin became manager of Innisbrook effective July 15, 1997, for a 20-year term unless terminated earlier. Westin receives annual management fees, based on revenues of Innisbrook, and certain cost reimbursements. Westins management fee amounted to $716,000, $885,000 and $893,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. | ||
The Westin management agreement requires the Company to maintain a capital replacement fund based on a percentage of gross revenues. The Company contributed $1,845,000 and $2,292,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and an additional $435,000 is payable to the fund at December 31, 2001. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the capital replacement fund has a balance of $708,000 and $971,000 and is included in restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. |

In April 1998, the Company signed an agreement under which Westin will provide 50% of the funding for approved capital expenditures incurred subsequent to the Acquisition in excess of the annual capital replacement fund requirements defined above in addition to providing 50% of the funding for the initial capital requirements over $6,000,000, as defined. | ||
Additionally, under the terms of the Innisbrook management agreement, Westin guarantees a minimum cash flow to Innisbrook. The agreement provides that if Incentive Cash Flow, as defined, is less than the Minimum Annual Payment, as defined, for the operating year, then Westin will fund a non-interest bearing advance to Innisbrook for the shortage up to $2,500,000, with the advance being repayable when the Company has Available Cash, as defined. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, $9,015,000 and $6,515,000 had been advanced to the Company and are included in other long-term liabilities. | ||
Amounts payable to Westin of $4,880,000 and $2,558,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, include management fees and certain cost reimbursements and are included in other payables and accrued expenses at December 31, 2001 and 2000. | ||
12. | Subsequent Events | |
A new MLA (NMLA) has been presented to the rental pool participants, effective January 1, 2002. On an annual basis, beginning in 2002, each condominium owner will elect to participate in either the NMLA or the GMLA. As of December 31, 2001, 602 rental units have elected participation in the NMLA and 3 in the GMLA. The NMLA provides for Adjusted Gross Revenues, as defined, to be divided 40% to the Innisbrook rental pool participants and 60% to the Company. In addition, the Company has agreed as part of the NMLA, to reimburse participants in the NMLA for up to 50% of actual unit refurbishment costs. If the Company proves unsuccessful in its defenses in the class-action lawsuit, any rental pool participant who elects, subject to the NMLA, will forego reimbursement by the Company for renovations equal to their pro-rata amount of the class-action settlement proceeds. |

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
To Golf Host Resorts, Inc. and the Lessors of the
Innisbrook Rental Pool Lease Operation
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of operations and of changes in participants fund balance present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Innisbrook Rental Pool Lease Operation at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and the changes in participants fund balance for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the rental pools operators; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 1 of the notes to financial statements, the Innisbrook Rental Pool Lease Operation is party to lease agreements with an affiliated entity, whose ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt.

Innisbrook Rental Pool Lease Operation
Notes to Financial Statements
1. | Rental Pool Lease Operation and Rental Pool Lease Agreements | |
Organization and Operations | ||
The Innisbrook Rental Pool Lease Operation (the Rental Pool) consists of condominiums at the Westin Innisbrook Resort (Innisbrook) which are provided as resort accommodations by their owners. The condominium owners (Participants) have entered into Annual Rental Pool Lease Agreements (ALAs) and either a Master Lease Agreement (MLA) or, effective January 1, 1998, a Guaranteed Distribution Master Lease Agreement (GMLA), which define the terms and conditions related to each ALA with Golf Host Resorts, Inc. (GHR), the lessee of the Rental Pool. The MLA, GMLA and ALAs are referred to collectively as the Agreements. The ALAs expire at the end of each calendar year and the MLA and GMLA remain in effect through December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2011, respectively. As of January 1, 2002, on an annual basis, each condominium owner will elect to participate in either a new MLA or the GMLA (Note 5). | ||
The Rental Pool consists of two funds: the Distribution Fund and the Maintenance Escrow Fund. The Distribution Fund balance sheets primarily reflect amounts receivable from GHR for the Rental Pool distribution payable to Participants and amounts due to the Maintenance Escrow Fund. The operations of the Distribution Fund reflect Participants earnings in the Rental Pool. The Maintenance Escrow Fund reflects the accounting for certain escrowed assets of the Participants and, therefore, has no operations. It consists primarily of amounts escrowed by Participants or due from the Distribution Fund to meet escrow requirements, fund the carpet care reserve and maintain the interior of the unit. | ||
GHR, the lessee of the Rental Pool, has experienced recurring net losses and working capital deficiencies, which creates substantial doubt about GHRs ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Rental Pool lease agreement is contingent upon the continuation of operations of Innisbrook. GHR is evaluating its financial position and plans for the continuity of its operations and funding of its current obligations. | ||
Computation and Allocation of Earnings | ||
Under the GMLA, Participants and GHR share equally in Adjusted Gross Revenues, while GHR receives as deductions from the Gross Income Distribution a 5.5% Management Fee, a 3% Marketing Fee and Miscellaneous Pooled Expenses comprised of linen and other pooled expenses. The GMLA guarantees Rent (Net Income Distribution plus Occupancy and Hospitality Suite Fees) will not be less than an amount which approximates the 1996 Gross Income Distribution, as prorated based upon Weighted Days Pool Participation, as defined. In 2001 and 2000, no amounts were paid under the guarantee. The GMLA also guarantees a noncancelable term through 2011 with an annual rental pool participation election. | ||
Under the MLA, Participants and GHR share Adjusted Gross Revenues in accordance with the terms of the Agreements. Adjusted Gross Revenues consist of revenues earned from rental of condominiums, net of agents commissions, credit cards fees and audit fees. GHR receives a Management Fee equal to 47% of Adjusted Gross Revenues. Each Participant receives a fixed Occupancy Fee, based on apartment size, for each day of occupancy. After allocation of Occupancy Fees, the balance of Adjusted Gross Revenues, net of the Management Fee and adjustments, is allocated proportionately to Participants, based on the Participation Factor as defined in the Agreements. |
F-23
Innisbrook Rental Pool Lease Operation
Notes to Financial Statements
Corporate complimentary occupancy fees are rental fees paid by GHR to the Participants for complimentary rooms unrelated to Rental Pool operations. Westin Associate room fees represent total room revenues earned from rental of condominiums by Westin employees passed through to the Rental Pool. | ||
Owners who purchased units prior to January 1, 1991 and who participate in the Rental Pool under the MLA for at least 50% of the year or 50% of the time they own their unit receive Additional Participation Credits. Participation in greens fees is restricted to original condominium owners participating in the MLA who executed purchase agreements for certain units prior to April 13, 1972. Greens fees and Additional Participation Credits are requirements of agreements other than the current Agreements; these amounts are included in Adjustments to Net Income Distribution of the Rental Pool as this treatment is consistent with the method utilized by GHR to pay such amounts to the applicable Participants. | ||
Maintenance Escrow Fund Accounts | ||
The MLA and GMLA provide that 75% and 90%, respectively, of the Occupancy Fees earned by each Participant are deposited in the Participants Maintenance Escrow Fund account. This account provides funds for payment of amounts which are due from Participants under the Agreements for maintenance and refurbishment services. Under the MLA, when the balance of the Participants Maintenance Escrow Fund account exceeds 75% of the defined furniture replacement value, the excess is refunded to the Participant upon their election. Should a Participants balance fall below that necessary to provide adequate funds for maintenance and replacements, the Participant is required to restore the escrow balance to an adequate level. The GMLA provides for an Occupancy Fee deposit into the Participants Maintenance Escrow Fund account until the balance in the account equals the total anticipated charges for maintenance, repair and refurbishing of the condominium. | ||
Under the MLA and GMLA, a percentage of the Occupancy Fees are deposited into the carpet care reserve in the Maintenance Escrow Fund which will bear the expenses of carpet cleaning for all Participants. This percentage is estimated to provide the amount necessary to fund carpet cleaning expenses and may be adjusted annually. The amounts expended for carpet care were $45,000, $56,000 and $68,000 for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. These expenditures were in excess of the carpet care reserve for 2000 and 1999. | ||
GHR places the maintenance escrow funds on behalf of the participants as instructed by the Lessors Advisory Committee and in compliance with restrictions in the Agreements. The Lessors Advisory Committee consists of nine Participants elected to advise GHR in Rental Pool matters. Income earned on these investments is allocated proportionately to Participants Maintenance Escrow Fund accounts and paid quarterly through the Distribution Fund. Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2001 are certificates of deposit of $380,000, maturing between January 2002 and March 2002, and bearing interest at rates from 2.0% to 2.75%. Included in short-term investments at December 31, 2001 are certificates of deposit of |
F-24
Innisbrook Rental Pool Lease Operation
Notes to Financial Statements
$1,330,000, maturing between January 2002 and September 2002, and bearing interest at rates from 2.3% to 4.3%, with the remainder held in a money market account. Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2000 are certificates of deposit of $760,000, maturing between January 2001 and March 2001, and bearing interest at rates from 6.2% to 6.3%, with the remainder held in a money market account. Included in short-term investments at December 31, 2000 are certificates of deposit of $1,045,000, maturing between February 2001 and August 2001, and bearing interest at rates from 6.2% to 6.85%. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, cost of these investments approximates fair value. | ||
Construction in progress and refurbishment includes costs incurred in conjunction with the condominium refurbishment project authorized by the Participants of the Rental Pool. The refurbishment project is expected to be completed within the next two years. | ||
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Accounting | ||
The accounting records of the funds are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting | ||
Use of Estimates | ||
Preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||
Income Taxes | ||
No federal or state taxes have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements as the tax effect of fund activities accrued to the Participants and shareholder of GHR. | ||
Reclassifications | ||
Certain prior year balances have been reclasssified to conform with current year presentation. | ||
3. | Affiliate Owned Condominiums | |
Golf Host Condominium, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of GHR, owns three condominiums. Its condominiums participated in the Rental Pool under the GMLA in the same manner as all others. | ||
4. | Commitments and Contingencies | |
Hilton Hotels Corporation (HHC) managed Innisbrook from April 1993 to July 15, 1997, at which time the management was changed to Westin Hotel Company. In connection with the HHC agreement, HHC funded certain special projects and property improvements, including installation of life-safety equipment in condominium units participating in the Rental Pool and related common areas. Separately, the Rental Pool agreed to reimburse GHR the cost of installing the life-safety equipment, including reimbursements to condominium apartment owners |
F-25
Innisbrook Rental Pool Lease Operation
Notes to Financial Statements
for previously installed equipment, in an amount equal to $1,779,000, plus interest at 7.75% per annum for no more than five years on each related draw thereunder. Payments were required for years in which the Amount Available for Distribution to Participants exceeded $7,375,000 in an amount equal to 50% of such excess. Participants withdrawing from the Rental Pool for any reason, other than a sale, before the obligation to GHR had been fully repaid were required to immediately pay their proportionate share of the unpaid balance. In 1996 and 1995, repayment requirements of $362,593 and $150,036, respectively, resulted, yielding a balance of $1,591,341. Under the terms of the related agreement, the Rental Pool was not obligated to reimburse GHR if the management agreement between HHC and GHR was terminated. Therefore, effective with the July 15, 1997 change in management, the obligation of the Rental Pool to continue to make reimbursements ceased. The former shareholders of GHR retained all notes receivable, including the amount due from the Rental Pool, and have disputed the termination. The outcome of this matter is uncertain at this time. GHR is holding $240,000 in escrow as potential payments to the former shareholders pending resolution of this matter. | ||
5. | Subsequent Events | |
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company replaced the MLA, which expired on December 31, 2001, with a new Master Lease Agreement (NMLA). The NMLA provides for Adjusted Gross Revenues, as defined, to be divided 40% to the Innisbrook participants and 60% to the Company. At December 31, 2001, 605 condominium owners had elected to participate in the NMLA while 13 had elected to participate or remain in the GMLA. |

To Golf Host Resorts, Inc. and the Lessors of the
Tamarron Rental Pool Lease Operation
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of operations and of changes in participants fund balance present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Tamarron Rental Pool Lease Operation at November 18, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and the results of its operations and the changes in participants fund balance for the 322 day period ending November 18, 2001 and each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the rental pools operators; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Tamarron Rental Pool Lease Operation
Notes to Financial Statements
1. | Rental Pool Lease Operation and Rental Pool Lease Agreement | |
Organization and Operations | ||
The Tamarron Rental Pool Lease Operation (the Rental Pool) consists of condominiums at Sheraton Tamarron Resort, which are provided as resort accommodations by their owners. The condominium owners (Participants) have entered into Annual Rental Pool Lease Agreements (ALAs) and a Master Lease Agreement (MLA), which define the terms and conditions related to each ALA, with Golf Host Resorts, Inc. (GHR), the lessee of the Rental Pool. The MLA and ALAs are referred to collectively as the Agreements. The ALAs expire at the end of each calendar year and the MLA will remain in effect through December 31, 2003. | ||
The Rental Pool consists of two funds: the Distribution Fund and the Maintenance Escrow Fund. The Distribution Fund balance sheets primarily reflect amounts due from GHR for the Rental Pool distribution payable to Participants and amounts due to the Maintenance Escrow Fund. The operations of the Distribution Fund reflect Participants earnings in the Rental Pool. The Maintenance Escrow Fund reflects the accounting for certain escrowed assets of the Participants and, therefore, has no operations. It consists primarily of amounts escrowed by Participants or due from the Distribution Fund to meet escrow requirements, maintain the interior of the unit and purchase adequate inventory items, as defined. | ||
Funding of the estimated amounts receivable from GHR for distribution is due at least weekly to the extent that borrowings available to GHR under its various lines of credit are less than amounts due to the Distribution Fund. | ||
During 2000, GHR dividended the assets and liabilities of Tamarron to its parent, Golf Host, Inc., who contributed them to Golf Host II, Inc. (GH II), a wholly-owned subsidiary of GHI. On November 19, 2001, GH II sold Tamarron to a third-party who assumed responsibility under the Agreements. As a result, GHR has no remaining responsibility under the terms of the Agreements. | ||
Computation and Allocation of Earnings | ||
Participants and GHR share Adjusted Gross Revenues in accordance with the terms of the Agreements. Adjusted Gross Revenues consist of revenues earned from rental of condominiums, net of Sales and Marketing expenses (limited to 7.5% of Gross Revenues), agents commissions (not to exceed 5.5% of Gross Revenues) and audit fees. GHR receives a Management Fee equal to 50% of Adjusted Gross Revenues. | ||
Each Participant receives a fixed Occupancy Fee, based on apartment size, for each day of occupancy. After allocation of Occupancy Fees, the balance of Adjusted Gross Revenues, net of the Management Fee adjustments, is allocated proportionately to Participants based on the Participation Factor as defined in the Agreements. |

Tamarron Rental Pool Lease Operation
Notes to Financial Statements
Corporate complimentary occupancy fees are rental fees paid by GHR for complimentary rooms unrelated to Rental Pool operations. Designated items are purchases of supplies to maintain the interior of the units, as defined in the Agreements. | ||
Maintenance Escrow Fund Accounts | ||
The Agreements provide that 50% of the Occupancy Fees earned by each Participant is deposited in the Participants Maintenance Escrow Fund account. This account provides funds for payment of amounts which are due from the Participant under the Agreements for maintenance and refurbishment services. When the balance of the Participants Maintenance Escrow Fund account exceeds the maximum specified in the Agreements, the excess is refunded to the Participant, as provided in the Agreements. Should a Participants balance fall below that necessary to provide adequate funds for maintenance and replacements, the Participant is required to restore the escrow balance to an adequate level. | ||
Funds deposited in the Maintenance Escrow Fund are invested on behalf of the Participants. Income earned on these investments is allocated proportionately to Participants Maintenance Escrow Fund accounts and paid quarterly through the Distribution Fund. Cash and cash equivalents at November 18, 2001 and December 31, 2000 consists of an interest bearing demand account. | ||
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Accounting | ||
The accounting records of the funds are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting | ||
Use of Estimates | ||
Preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||
Income Taxes | ||
No federal or state taxes have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements as the tax effect of fund activities accrued to the Participants and the shareholder of GHR. | ||
3. | Linen and Materials and Supplies Inventory | |
Linen amortization and the cost of Participants actual usage of certain supplies, collectively referred to as Designated Items, are charged to all Participants as a group and allocated to Participants based upon their Participation Factors. Linen inventory is stated at cost, less accumulated amortization of $50,000 and $59,000 at November 18, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. Linen amortization is computed on the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 24 months. | ||
Materials and supplies inventories consist primarily of minor apartment furnishings and appliances carried at cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The costs of such items, not considered Designated Items, are charged to Participants individual Maintenance Escrow Fund accounts based on actual usage. |
