On December 31, 2002, there were 5,000 common shares outstanding of the Registrants only class of common stock. On December 31, 2002, there were 4,577,000 shares of 5.6% cumulative preferred stock outstanding, which is the only class of preferred stock outstanding. The Registrants parent, Golf Hosts, Inc. (GHI), wholly owns both classes of stock, and there is no active market for the trading of these shares. Therefore, the shares are not listed or registered with an exchange.
PART I
Item 1. Business
Golf Host Resorts, Inc. (the Company) is a corporation that was formed in July 1972 and operates Westin Innisbrook Resort in Tarpon Springs, Florida (Innisbrook) and operated the 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, and recreational activities including swimming, tennis and related resort activities. Westin Hotel Company and Sheraton Operating Corporation manage the Resorts, 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 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 the majority of its operational revenue from the rental of hotel accommodations, food and beverage sales, and from golf operations (primarily golf fees and merchandise sales) and club membership initiation fees and dues. In addition, the Company, during the years 1994 through 1999, developed twenty-seven residential home sites at the Tamarron property. All other developable land at the Tamarron property was sold contemporaneously with the sale of Tamarron on November 19, 2001.
The majority of the condominium apartment owners at Innisbrook provide their apartments as resort accommodations under rental pool lease operations. Innisbrook is the lessee 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 Innisbrook.
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 the 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 the common property. The condominium owners at Innisbrook have established an Association of Condominium Owners to administer and maintain this 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 Association assesses fees to defray these expenses and to establish necessary reserves. An assessment, if not timely paid, may constitute a lien upon the separate condominium unit. Each condominium owner must pay ad valorem property taxes and assessments for
2
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 vote per condominium unit owned.
The percentages of the revenue components discussed above as part of the Companys total revenues are as follows:

The Company hosts approximately 1,000 conferences and related group meetings each year with its guests representing a variety of industries, primarily from the central and eastern United States. Accordingly, the loss of a single or a few conferences 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 within its market. 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. Tamarrons peak season when the Company owned it was in the summer.
As of December 31, 2002, the Company had, on average, approximately 750 full and part time employees.
On November 29, 2001, the Company received notice from its primary lender that the Company had defaulted on the note payable, in the amount of $78,975,000 as a result of its failure to make the scheduled October 2001 interest payment and all subsequent principal and interest payments. The Company is negotiating a settlement agreement with the lender (See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
The Company makes available free of charge our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. These reports can be obtained free of charge by contacting: Golf Host Resorts, Inc., Investor Relations, 591 W. Putnam Avenue, Greenwich, CT 06830. These reports are not available on the Companys website.
Item 2. Properties
Innisbrook is a condominium resort project situated on approximately 845 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 remaining eligible units, 500, on
3
average, participate in the rental pool on a year to year basis. 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; a tennis/fitness facility and numerous administrative and support structures.
Tamarron, which was sold on November 19, 2001, is also 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. At the time Tamarron was sold, there were 381 condominium units, all of which were eligible for rental pool participation. Approximately 275 units, on average, participated in the rental pool during the time the Company owned Tamarron. The resort complex included 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 the years 1999 and 2001, approximately 35 acres and 34 acres, respectively, of developable land at Innisbrook, contiguous to but not within the operational boundaries of Innisbrook, was sold to a non-affiliated entity.
At December 31, 2002, Innisbrook is encumbered by various mortgages totaling $78,975,000. Reference is made to Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 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 Companys parent (Golf Hosts, Inc.) 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 stating that the plaintiffs are entitled to participate in the rental pool if one exists, a limitation of the total number of club memberships and a limitation of golf course access to persons who are either condominium owners who are members, their accompanied guests, or guests of the resort. Depositions of class members and others, including depositions of former executives of the Company, have been taken and additional discovery remains. The previously scheduled trial date of February 3, 2003 had been postponed by the court; a new trial date has not yet been set. As this litigation is still in progress, 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 GHI has successful defenses based upon consultations with legal counsel, and intends to vigorously defend this action.

Part II
Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
The Companys stock is 100% 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. As of December 31, 2002, 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. However, the Rental Pool Participants are entitled to a contractual distribution paid quarterly, as defined in the Lease Agreements, for the Companys right to use the Participants condominium units in the rental pool.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following accounting policies are considered critical by the Companys management. These and other accounting policies require that estimates be made, based on assumptions and judgment, that affect revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingencies in the Companys financial statements. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from these estimates due to different conditions.
The Companys management periodically evaluates whether there has been a permanent impairment of long-lived assets, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. (FAS) 121 Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of and, beginning in 2002, with FAS 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Companys management believes that the accounting estimates related to asset impairments are critical estimates for the following reasons: (1) the ongoing changes in managements expectations regarding future utilization of assets; and (2) the impact of an impairment on reported assets and earnings could be material. During the year ended Dec. 31, 2002, the Companys management evaluated assets for impairment in accordance with FAS 144 and concluded that the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows (excluding interest charges) from its assets exceeded its then current carrying values. Accordingly, the company did not recognize an impairment charge in 2002. During the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Companys management evaluated assets for impairment and had determined impairment had occurred and recognized impairment charges in the amounts of $3,000,000 and $7,441,000 respectively.
The Company provides for depreciation by the straight-line method at annual rates that amortize the original costs, net of salvage values, of depreciable assets over their estimated useful lives. Managements estimation of assets useful lives are critical estimates for the following reasons: (1) forecasting the salvage value for long-lived assets over a long period of time is subjective; (2) changes may take place that could render an asset obsolete or uneconomical; and (3) a change in the useful life of a long-lived asset could have a material impact on reported results of operations and reported asset values. The Companys management believes the estimated useful life corresponds to the anticipated physical life for most assets. Although it is difficult to predict values far into the future, the Company has a long history of actual costs and values that are considered in reaching a conclusion as to the appropriate useful life of an asset.
The Company has provided for an estimated net asset and corresponding liability related to the apartment unit refurbishment program pursuant to the Rental Pool Master Lease Agreement (See Note 9 to Consolidated Financial Statements). Both the estimated asset and liability amounts are based upon managements expectation that the rental pool participants will continue to achieve the minimum unit participation threshold as defined in the agreement. The net asset is being expensed on a straight-line basis from the time each phase of the refurbishment is placed in service through 2009. The net liability will be retired consistent with the funding requirements in the agreement.
See the Notes to the Financial Statements for Golf Host Resorts, Inc. in Note 2 hereof for additional accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements. Other new accounting pronouncements initially effective in 2002 are considered not applicable to the Company.
The following information may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements may be identified by the inclusion of terms such as believe, expect, hope or may. Although the Company believes that such forward-looking statements are based upon sound and reasonable assumptions, given the circumstances in which the statements are made, the actual results could differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause such a difference include the following: changes in general economic
7
conditions, changes in rental pool participation by the current condominium owners, reaching a settlement agreement with the Companys primary lender, settlement of the Class Action Lawsuit, the ability of the Company to continue to operate the Innisbrook property under its management contracts, and the resale of condominiums to owners who elect neither to participate in the rental pool nor to become Club members. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on such statements.
The comparative results exclude the activities of Tamarron. The Company assumed responsibility for the net income (loss) for Tamarron under the terms of a lease agreement entered into between the Company and Golf Host II during the year ended December 31, 2000. Golf Host II sold Tamarron to an unaffiliated entity on November 19, 2001. The exclusion of Tamarrons results allows for a comparison of operating results for Innisbrook on a period to period basis.
Guest occupancy during the last three years, measured by room nights, was as follows:
YEAR | ROOM NIGHTS | % CHANGE | ||||||
2002 |
90,960 | (15.0 | ) | |||||
2001 |
106,960 | (16.5 | ) | |||||
2000 |
128,033 | (6.3 | ) |
2002 Compared to 2001
For the years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company recognized total revenue in the approximate amount of $40,170,000 and $47,719,000, respectively, from the rental of condominium units, sales of food and beverages, golf operations and auxiliary services. The net reduction in overall Innisbrook revenue in the approximate amount of $7,549,000 or 15.8% resulted from the reduction in room nights, which reduced gross revenues by $7,138,000, coupled with reductions in room night spending of approximately $411,000. Average Company wide guest spending decreased from $446.14 per room night in 2001 to $441.63 in 2002. The mix of room night sales between group business and the social/transient markets has remained essentially the same between the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2002. Group room nights and social/transient room nights for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 were 67,202 and 23,758 respectively as compared to 78,736 and 28,224 respectively for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001. Both categories showed reductions. On a percentage basis, group and social/transient room nights were down 14.6% and 15.8%, respectively, as compared to the same period last year. These reductions are a result of not only the September 11, 2001 terrorist acts, but also reflect the continuing concerns by the Companys customers about the United States soft economy and the potential for armed conflict in the middle east. Although the loss of any single customer guest does not significantly impact the Company, the dynamics of the large group business base has changed. These groups have begun to pre-book future business in a much shorter window and are reducing the actual number of days overall at the business functions. The spending on a per night basis has also diminished while the guests are not taking full advantage of the Resorts amenities. In response to these changes, the Company has taken steps to refocus its sales and marketing efforts to better capture both the smaller group golf related business and the social/transient sectors.
Operating expenses and losses on Assets Held for Sale totaled approximately $40,248,000 and $49,326,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. This decrease was directly related to the reduction in overall business levels for the comparative periods. The reduction in expenses of approximately $9,078,000 or 18.4% was the result of a reduction in the rental pool distribution of $1,538,000 due to the reduction in room nights and resultant room revenue and the amortization of the refurbishment cost; reductions in the Tamarron losses of $1,538,000; decreases in depreciation and amortization of $289,000 ; increases in repairs and maintenance expenses of $259,000 ; decreases in sales and marketing expense of $590,000 ; a decrease in the gain on the sale of land of $1,083,000; reductions in payroll and related expenses of $1,923,000 ; reduction
8
in the intangible write down of $3,000,000 and reduction in all other operating expenses in the aggregate of $1,976,000.
Interest, net for the year ended December 31, 2002, was approximately $9,101,000 as compared to $9,263,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. This $162,000 decrease is the result of: a decrease in interest costs associated with the Accounts Receivable credit line of $113,000; a decrease in expense of $143,000 related to the prior Shareholders loan, offset by changes in the interest on capitalized leases and the change in rate on the $9,000,000 portion of the GTA loan. Other interest items, net of interest income, in the aggregate increased by $88,000.
Effective February 3, 1998, the Companys election to be treated as a Subchapter S corporation became effective. Subsequent to the 1998 filing period, income tax calculations are no longer provided at the Company level.
2001 Compared to 2000
For the years 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 tax calculations are no longer provided at the Company level.

Income Tax Status
Reference is made to the Note 7 to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys working capital at December 31, 2002, (inclusive of debt in default in the approximate amount of $78,975,000 under the Golf Trust (GTA) Deed and Mortgage Agreement), was a deficit of $98,078,000 and the Companys cash flows from operational sources are currently severe. The Company has failed to timely pay its primary mortgage obligations beginning with the October 2001 requirements and continuing in all subsequent periods. The Company typically experiences seasonal fluctuations in its net working capital position without significantly impairing its ability to pay trade creditors in a timely manner. As a result of the default notice received from GTA (see Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements), the Companys revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Credit Corporation was terminated by Wells Fargo on May 23, 2002.
As of March 2003, 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 GTA stock and Partnership Unit (PU) interests held by GHI, 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 lack of additional cash sources and GTA settlement issue described above, the Company assesses its liquidity as severe . Failure to reach a settlement with GTA will seriously impair the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Contractual Obligations and Contingent Liabilities
The new Master Lease Agreement (NMLA) (See Note 9 of Notes to consolidated Financial Statements), between the Rental Pool Participants and the Company includes a provision that participating condominium owners will be reimbursed by the Company for 50% of the amount of funds the individual owner invested in the refurbishment program, as defined in the agreement, plus interest at 5%. The obligation of the Company to make the reimbursement payments during 2005 through 2009 is contingent upon the owners maintaining a minimum unit participation in the rental pool, as defined and tested on a quarterly basis. The projected obligation of the Company as presented in the table below recognizes reimbursement costs and interest payable to the owners, assuming that the participants meet the minimum threshold on a continuing quarterly basis.
The Company has entered into an operating lease with Citi Capital for 290 golf carts utilized on the four golf courses at Innisbrook. The operating lease expires in January 2006, and it is expected that the Company will at that time determine if it will either enter into another operating lease or acquire new carts under some alternative funding mechanism. Included in the table below is the contractual obligation under the current operating lease.
The Company is a party to a contract with Pinellas County Florida, which requires that Innisbrook accept and dispose of up to 5,000,000 gallons and not less than 2,500,000 gallons of effluent water produced by the County
10
on a daily basis. The effluent is utilized by the Resort to water the golf courses and common areas. This agreement stipulates that because Innisbrook is willing to accept the effluent at times when the County does not have alternative demand and disposal alternatives, there is no cost to the Company.
The Company is a party to a security agreement with Allied Security, which provides for twenty-four hour security of Innisbrook. The agreement expires in 2004 and will be re-negotiated or replaced at that time. The Innisbrook Condominium Association (the Association), while not a direct party to the agreement, reimburses the Company for 50% of these costs. The total annual payments under the contract are reflected through the expiration date in the table below.
The Company is a party to a General Agreement with the Association, wherein certain mutually beneficial activities are defined. It includes provisions concerning how the parties will administer payroll services, security of the property, water and sewer costs, water softener system costs and maintenance, linen rooms and miscellaneous day to day joint operational issues of Innisbrook. The majority of these operational items have been negotiated on a value for value basis wherein no cash payments by either party are required. The Association does reimburse the Company for the Associations direct payroll and benefit costs, water and sewer charges and security services.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
(a) | Transactions with Management and Others | |
GHI charges administrative and other expenses to the Company on the basis of estimated time and expenses incurred as reasonably determined by GHI. | ||
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 shortfall 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 the annual capital reserve requirements on an annual basis, as defined. The aggregate amounts outstanding, including accounts payable, were approximately $12,015,000 and $13,895,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The December 31, 2002 balance consists of two components: approximately $1,750,000 represents unpaid management fees and reimbursable expenses as defined in the Management Agreement, and $10,265,000 represents the minimum annual payment noted above. | ||
During 2000, the Company contributed 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 was 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 to an unrelated entity, and the Company has no remaining responsibility under the lease or rental pool agreements. |

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, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 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.
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 and 6. Additionally, as described in Notes 6 and 9, the Company has defaulted under the terms of its debt agreement and its parent, Golf Host, Inc., is a defendant to a class action lawsuit wherein the plaintiffs allege breaches of contract by the Company. 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, 2002 and 2001
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 was 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 related 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 6). | ||
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, 2002 of approximately $98,078,000 and has incurred operating losses for each of the periods since the Acquisition. Additionally, as described in Note 6, the Company failed to make scheduled interest payments beginning with October 2001, has defaulted under the terms of its debt agreement, and GHI is a |

defendant to a class action lawsuit the basis of which relates to alleged actions by the Company (Note 9). | ||
Management is seeking to negotiate a settlement agreement with its lender (Note 6). In addition, management has developed and implemented sales and marketing plans 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 10). | ||
As a result of the preceding 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 these uncertainties. | ||
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 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, 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, 2002 and 2001, the balance in restricted cash of approximately $2,520,000 and $1,413,000, respectively, mainly represents cash restricted for capital improvements pursuant to the Companys loan agreement with Golf Trust of America. | ||
Accounts Receivable | ||
Accounts receivable represents amounts due from Resort guests and is net of allowances of approximately $160,000 and $192,000 for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2002 and 2001
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 net assets and liabilities of Tamarron, approximately $6,200,000, which was an asset acquired at acquisition and held for sale. On May 4, 2001, the Company sold the remaining land parcel at Innisbrook included in assets held for sale 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 depreciation 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. | ||
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 |
10 to 15 |
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 9), the Company will be reimbursed for 50% of the costs incurred by individual condominium owners upon completion of their refurbishment project. The Company will amortize the remaining costs on a straight-line basis over the term of the revised MLA, subsequent to the completion of the refurbishment project. | ||
Long-Lived Assets | ||
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 144 (FAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, 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 |
F-8
Golf Host Resorts, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2002 and 2001
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is 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. The Company has performed an evaluation of the long-term resort assets and related intangibles. Based upon that analysis, gross cash flows exceed the carrying value of property and equipment and the related intangibles. However, the value is significantly less than the carrying value of secured debt and past due interest. | ||
Intercompany Allocations and Advances | ||
The Company reimburses GHI for administrative and other expenses based on estimated time and expenses incurred. Amounts charged were approximately $384,000, $293,000 and $203,000, for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, of which $1,807,000 and $1,423,000 were payable to GHI at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. | ||
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 $4,475,000, $6,322,000 and $7,352,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002 2001 and 2000, respectively, to the rental pool participants. | ||
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 $43,000, $35,000 and $85,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, 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 $173,000, $209,000 and $215,000, for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and are fully funded. | ||
Reclassifications | ||
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. |

Construction in progress (CIP) consists of costs incurred while constructing Resort amenities. Interest costs of approximately $29,000 and $50,000 was capitalized to CIP for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. | ||
Depreciation expense of approximately $2,737,000, $2,833,000 and $2,789,000 was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. | ||
4. | 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. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Companys intangible asset has been specifically identified and will continue to be amortized over its remaining useful life. Amortization expense for all intangible assets was approximately $860,000, $1,053,000 and $1,522,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, 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 the Company had determined that the estimated fair value of the intangible was less than its carrying value. | ||
During 2001, the Company continued to experience significant declines in business associated both with its corporate and transient customers. Advance bookings for 2002 and subsequent years continued to lag behind the Companys historical results and from all indications, did not appear to indicate a reversal of that trend in the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company again had to evaluate its carrying value of the intangible asset. Proforma cash flow estimates were developed based upon expected business levels, which indicated that further impairment of |
F-10
Golf Host Resorts, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2002 and 2001
the intangible had occurred. Consequently, the Company recognized an additional $3,000,000 impairment of the intangible asset during 2001. | ||
During 2002, the Company reviewed the carrying value of the intangible asset and determined that further impairment had not occurred. Advance bookings and rental pool participation had stabilized from a historical perspective, and the pro forma cash flows, based upon advance bookings indicate that no further deterioration in the carrying value should be recognized in 2002. | ||

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 the Companys accounts receivable and approximately 40 acres of undeveloped land. |

December 31, 2002 and 2001
The note payable agreement stipulates that Additional Collateral is released when the ratio of the Innisbrook Resorts Net Operating Income equals or exceeds a coverage ratio to Debt Service, as defined. The coverage ratio was not met for the three years ended December 31, 2002. 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, prorated for partial years, 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%, as defined in the loan agreement, 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, 2002. | ||
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 (effectively 11.94%, 11.37% and 10.83% for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively) and continuing each year through 2002. As of December 31, 2002, the Company has drawn the full $9,000,000 available under this facility. | ||
The Company was informed by GTA on November 29, 2001 that the Company is in default on the $78,975,000 note payable arising from the Companys failure to pay the October 2001 interest payment and all subsequent principal and interest payments, which have not been made. GTA has asserted its right to accelerate payment of the total outstanding principal and interest amounts. | ||
As of March 2003, 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 approximately $9,120,000, $9,070,000 and $9,227,000 on the GTA note payable during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, of which $14,838,000 and $5,448,000 was payable at December 31, 2002 and 2001. Accrued interest is classified as current as a result of the default on the GTA loan and 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 and $240,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. This note was paid in full commensurate with the sale of the Tamarron property (Note 8). | ||
The Company has leased property under capital leases, which expire in 2003. | ||
7. | 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 were 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 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. | ||
No valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets as management believes it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized upon sale of its assets or settlement with GTA. Under the Internal Revenue Code, if certain substantial changes in the Companys ownership occur, there are annual limitations on utilization of loss carryforwards. |

On November 19, 2001, GH II, an affiliated company and lessor of Tamarron, sold Tamarron to an unrelated entity. A portion of the proceeds were used to settle the remaining balance due under the $5,000,000 mortgage note from the previous owners (Note 6), which has been accounted for as a capital contribution to the Company. In conjunction with the sale, the accumulation of operating deficits not funded by the Company was forgiven by GH II. The unfunded accumulated operating deficits totaled $5,070,000 and were recorded as an adjustment to paid-in-capital. |

Rental Pool Distribution | ||
The Company offered, effective January 1, 1998 and amended and restated effective January 1, 2000, 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 on an individual unit basis, as prorated based upon Weighted Days Pool Participation, as defined. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company was obligated to pay the GMLA participants less than $1,000. No amounts were required to be paid under the guarantee for the year 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. | ||
A new MLA (NMLA) was effective January 1, 2002. On an annual basis, beginning in 2002, each condominium owner may elect to participate in either the NMLA or the GMLA. If an owner elects to participate in the NMLA, the owner is prohibited from returning to 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 rental pool participants in the NMLA for up to 50% of actual unit refurbishment costs beginning in 2005 through 2009, so long as the rental pool participation threshold, as defined,is maintained. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay the participants interest at 5% on the unpaid 50% of the refurbishment costs, beginning in 2002 so long as the participation threshold is maintained. Interest in the amount of approximately $159,000 was incurred under this agreement in 2002. Should the Company elect to terminate the NMLA before its expiration in 2011, all unpaid balances of refurbishment costs and related interest would be due and payable to the Participants. If the Company proves unsuccessful in its defenses in the class-action lawsuit described below, any rental pool participant who elected, subject to the NMLA, will forego reimbursement by the Company for renovations equal to their pro-rata amount of the class-action settlement proceeds. The net liability for the Companys share of the estimated cost of the refurbishments completed as of December 31, 2002 is $5,549,000 and is included in long-term refurbishments on the balance sheet. The corresponding asset is included in other assets and is being expensed equally over the period from the time each phase of the refurbishment is placed in service through the completion of payment in 2009. The net expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 is approximately $407,000 and is included in resort facilities expense. | ||
Legal | ||
GHI 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 stating that |
F-15
Golf Host Resorts, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2002 and 2001
the plaintiffs are entitled to participate in the rental pool if one exists, a limitation of the total number of Club memberships 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. The previously scheduled trial date of February 3, 2003 had been postponed by the court; a new trial date has not yet been set. As this litigation is still in progress, 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 GHI 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. | ||
10. | Westin Agreements | |
Westin became manager of Innisbrook effective July 15, 1997, for a 20-year term unless terminated earlier as provided for in the agreement. Westin receives annual management fees, based on revenues of Innisbrook, and certain cost reimbursements. Westins management fee amounted to $584,000, $716,000 and $885,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. | ||
The Westin management agreement requires the Company to maintain a capital replacement fund based on an amount calculated as the greater of 3% of gross revenues or a minimum threshold amount as defined in the agreement, calculated on a monthly basis. The Company contributed $2,125,000 and $1,845,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and an additional $862,000 and $366,000 is required to be segregated at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the capital replacement fund had a balance of approximately $1,394,000 and $708,000, respectively, 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. During the year ended December 31, 2002, Westin and the Company agreed that the amount due under the agreement was approximately $426,000. This amount was offset against unpaid management fees and reimbursable expenses due Westin under the management agreement and is included in other income for the year ended December 31, 2002. | ||
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 |
F-16
Golf Host Resorts, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2002 and 2001
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, 2002 and 2001, $10,265,000 and $9,015,000 had been advanced to the Company and are included in other long-term liabilities. | ||
Amounts payable to Westin of $1,750,000 and $4,880,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, include management fees and certain cost reimbursements and are included in other payables and accrued expenses at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. |

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, 2002 and 2001, 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, 2002 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 and amended and restated effective January 1, 2000, 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 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. | ||
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 Rental Pool Participants and 60% to the Company. In addition, the Company has agreed, as part of the NMLA, to reimburse rental pool participants in the NMLA for up to 50% of the actual unit refurbishment costs, plus interest at 5% of the 50% of the refurbishment costs, beginning in 2002, so long as the minimum participation threshold as defined, is maintained. The MLA, GMLA, NMLA and ALAs are referred to collectively as the Agreements. | ||
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 has experienced recurring net losses and working capital deficiencies, which create substantial doubt about GHRs ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation and success of the Rental Pool is contingent upon the continuation of operations of Innisbrook. Items related to the continuation of Innisbrook as a going concern include such issues as: the ultimate resolution of the Class Action Lawsuit of Golf Hosts, Inc. (GHI), GHRs parent company, wherein the plaintiffs have alleged breaches of contract and are seeking a declaratory judgment stating the plaintiffs are entitled to participate in the Rental Pool if one exists, a limitation of the total number of Club memberships and a restriction of golf course access to members, guest of members, resort guests or guests of resort guests, the acquisition of condominium units which do not participate in the Rental Pool or through a sale are removed from the Rental Pool, owners of units opting to live in their units, owners renting their units outside of the Rental Pool, and general economic conditions related to the destination resort industry. |

Innisbrook Rental Pool Lease Operation
Notes to Financial Statements
Computation and Allocation of Earnings | ||
Under the MLA, which expired on December 31, 2001, Participants and GHR shared Adjusted Gross Revenues in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Adjusted Gross Revenues consist of revenues earned from the rental of condominiums, net of agents commissions, credit card 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 Agreement. | ||
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 on an individual per unit basis, as prorated based upon Unit Weighted Days Pool Participation, as defined. In 1996, the distribution was $21.67. In 2002, the Unit Weighted Days distribution was $20.02, and the amount the Company is obligated to pay the GMLA participants for the year ended December 31, 2002, is less than $1,600. In 2001, no amount was paid under the guarantee, as the Average Daily Distribution was $25.73. The GMLA also guarantees that it cannot be terminated before its expiration date and includes a provision for an annual election to participate. | ||
Under the NMLA, which became effective January 1, 2002, Participants and GHR share Adjusted Gross Revenues in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Adjusted Gross Revenues are defined as Gross Revenues less agents commissions, audit fees, occupancy fees when the unit is utilized by GHR, linen replacements and credit card fees. GHR receives a management fee of 60% of Adjusted Gross Revenues. Each Participant receives a fixed occupancy fee, based upon apartment size, for each day of occupancy. After allocation of occupancy fees and the payment of general rental pool expenses, the balance is allocated proportionally to the Participants, based on the Participation Factor as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement also provides for GHR to reimburse 50% of the refurbishment costs on each unit associated with the current refurbishment program, with interest calculated as 5% of the unpaid 50% of the refurbishment costs, and continued participation of the unit in the rental pool, so long as the minimum aggregate participation threshold, as defined, is maintained. Repayments are to begin in 2005 and continue through 2009. Should GHR elect to terminate the NMLA before its expiration in 2011, all unpaid balances of refurbishment costs and related interest would be due and payable to the Participants. The net interest earned during the year ended December 31, 2002 was approximately $146,000 and is recorded as an adjustment to the gross income distribution in the statement of operations of the distribution fund. | ||
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 |
F-25
Innisbrook Rental Pool Lease Operation
Notes to Financial Statements
represent total room revenues earned from the 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, GMLA and NMLA provide that 75%, 90% 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 that 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. The NMLA provides for specific fund balances to be maintained, by unit type, size and age of refurbishment, as defined in the Agreement. | ||
Under the MLA, GMLA and NMLA, a percentage of the Occupancy Fees are deposited into the carpet care reserve in the Maintenance Escrow Fund, which bears 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 $61,000, $45,000 and $56,000 for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. For the years 2002 and 2001, these expenditures were in excess of the carpet care reserve by $21,000 and $14,000, respectively. | ||
GHR invests as directed by the Lessors Advisory Committee the maintenance escrow funds on behalf of the Participants 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, 2002 are certificates of deposit of $190,000, maturing between January 2003 and February 2003, and bearing interest at rates from 1.2% to 1.7%. Included in short-term investments at December 31, 2002 are certificates of deposit of $1,900,000, maturing between January 2003 and September 2003, and bearing interest at rates from 1.35% to 2.7%, with the remainder held in a money market account. 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%.

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. | ||

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 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 l996 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 and initiated a lawsuit. As of December 31, 2002, GHR is holding approximately $226,000 in escrow as potential payment to the former shareholders pending resolution of this matter. On December 26, 2002, the parties to the lawsuit reached a settlement agreement, which provides for a cash settlement of $420,000 plus interest. The settlement payment will be funded by the escrow funds held by GHR at December 31, 2002, and the Rental Pool Participants will fund the remainder during 2003. |

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) had entered into Annual Rental Pool Lease Agreements (ALAs) and a Master Lease Agreement (MLA), which defined 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. |
F-35
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 that are due from the Participants 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 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 at November 18, 2001. Linen amortization is computed on the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 24 months. |
F-36
Tamarron Rental Pool Lease Operation
Notes to Financial Statements
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. |
