BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements for December 31, 2002 were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K dated December 31, 2002, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has negative working capital and has a shareholder’s deficit. These issues raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in the footnotes. Additionally, as described in Note 6 of the notes to consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K, the Company has defaulted under the terms of its debt agreement and Golf Host, Inc. (the Company’s parent company) is a defendant to a class action lawsuit. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties.

These financial statements and related notes are presented for interim periods in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, consequently, do not include all disclosures normally provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, these financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified within the Form 10-Q to conform with the current year presentation.

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet for September 30, 2003, and consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, are unaudited but reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

The Company’s business is seasonal. Therefore, the results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal years.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company recorded at closing in 1997, a resort intangible asset of approximately $30,400,000. This intangible related to the purchase of the Innisbrook Resort, which contained an existing rental pool agreement and a recently executed management agreement with Westin Hotels. The intangible is being amortized over twenty years on a straight-line basis. Amortization expense for all intangible assets was approximately $646,000 and $644,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, respectively.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

During 2002 and through September 30, 2003, the Company reviewed the carrying value of the intangible asset and determined that further impairment had not occurred. Advance booking and rental pool participation have stabilized from a historical perspective, and pro-forma cash flows, based upon advance bookings indicate that no further deterioration in the carrying value needs to be recognized.

DEBT

Debt consists of the following:

CONTINGENCIES

Golf Hosts, Inc., the Company’s parent, was 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. By order dated April 2, 2003, the Company was substituted in place of Golf Hosts, Inc. as the defendant in the lawsuit. 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 restriction of golf course access to persons who are either condominium owners, members, their accompanied guests, or guests of the resort and a restriction of the total number of club memberships. 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 has been postponed by the Court;

CONTINGENCIES (continued)

a new trial date has not yet been set. In July 2003, the lawsuit class was de-certified leaving approximately 80 plaintiffs in the lawsuit. Plaintiffs have filed a notice of appeal regarding the de-certification decision. 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 Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The Company believes it has successful defenses based upon consultations with legal counsel and intends to vigorously defend this action.

The Company has recorded a liability and related asset in the approximate amount of $5,623,000, in recognition of the Master Lease Agreement refurbishment reimbursement program. The liability will be settled in accordance with the terms of the agreement and the asset will be amortized on a straight line basis beginning in 2002 and ending December 31, 2009. Amortization expense for the asset was approximately $611,000 and $305,000 for the periods ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, respectively.

As noted in the Company’s 10K filed as of December 31, 2002, the Company has defaulted on its primary mortgage with Golf Trust of America (“GTA”). The Company is engaged in negotiations with “GTA” and is seeking a solution to its default status. At the time of this publication, no definite or final agreement has been reached.

RENTAL POOL LEASE OPERATION

The following unaudited financial statements of the Innisbrook Rental Pool Lease Operation (the Rental Pool) are for the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2002

The operation of the Rental Pool is tied closely to that of Golf Host Resorts, Inc. (the Company), and provides for distribution of a percentage of the Company’s room revenues, as defined in the Rental Pool Master Lease Agreements, to participating condominium owners (Participants).

The Innisbrook Rental Pool Operation is party to lease agreements with an affiliated entity, whose ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt.

The operation of the Rental Pool is more fully discussed in Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 (file No. 2-64309).

Quarter ended September 30, 2003

During the third quarter of 2003, the Company’s results of operations continued to reflect the downward trend in the hospitality industry and the destination golf resort segment of that industry. Occupancy percentages at the Innisbrook resort were 4.2% greater than the same three-month period for the prior year. Total room nights were 773 greater for the period ended September 30, 2003 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002. Group room nights were up 1,933 while transient rooms decreased by 1,160 room nights, as compared to the same period last year. Total revenue per room night decreased by 7.7% or $27.10 as compared to the prior year. Gross revenue per room night for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $325.96 as compared to $353.05 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. Despite increases in room nights, the decrease in total revenue per room night resulted in net decrease in gross revenue of approximately $245,000 or 3.8%.

All expenses have been managed to respond to the reduced demand in the market place, including the day-to-day maintenance costs of the four golf courses. Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased approximately $541,000 or 7.6%. Depreciation and amortization also increased by approximately $47,000 or 3.6%.

The decrease in revenue combined with the increases in operating expenses and depreciation and amortization noted above, produced a net reduction in the comparative three month operating income of approximately $832,000. Operating income, before interest expense and preferred dividend requirements, was a loss of approximately $2,839,000 versus a loss of approximately $2,007,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, respectively.

Interest expense, net of interest income, reflects the continued accrual of the Company’s GTA interest obligations. Total interest expense increased by approximately $20,000 or 1%. This increase was the result of effective interest rate changes on the GTA mortgage.

Capital expenditure reserves in the amount of approximately $603,000 were set-aside during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Of this amount, approximately $184,000 was used to fund capital lease payments on operating assets such as golf carts, golf grounds equipment and computer equipment while $239,000 was used to replace and repair the conference center and clubhouse HVAC, clubhouse roofing, systems and miscellaneous deferred maintenance projects. The balance is being held in reserve to fund the new telephone switch and additional golf course equipment, both of which will be installed and or delivered before the end of the first quarter of 2004.

Nine months ended September 30, 2003

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company’s results of operations continued to reflect the downward trend in the hospitality industry and the destination golf resort segment of that industry as noted above. Occupancy percentages at the Innisbrook resort were 12.9% less than the same nine-month period for the prior year. Total room nights were down 9,530 for the period ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Group and transient room nights were down 6,978 and 2,552 room nights respectively, as compared to the same period last

year. Total revenue per room night decreased by $4.75 or 1.1% over the prior year. Gross revenue per room night for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $437.02 as compared to $441.77 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. These reductions in room nights coupled with the decrease in room night spending levels produced a net decrease in gross revenue of approximately $4,516,000 or 13.8%.

Due to management’s reducing operating expenses in response to reduced demands, operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, decrease approximately $1,092,000 or 3.8%. Depreciation and amortization decreased by approximately $90,000 or 3.1%.

The decrease in revenue combined with the decreases in operating expenses and increase in depreciation and amortization noted above, produced a net reduction in the comparative nine month operating income of approximately $3,334,000. Operating income, before interest expense and preferred dividend requirements, was a loss of approximately $2,046,000 versus income of approximately $1,288,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, respectively.

Interest expense, net of interest income, reflects change in the effective interest rates related to the GTA interest obligations. Total interest expense decreased by approximately $19,000 or .3%.

Capital expenditure reserves in the amount of approximately $1,808,000 were set-aside during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Of this amount, approximately $663,000 was used to fund capital lease payments on operating assets such as golf carts, golf grounds equipment and computer equipment while $439,000 was used to replace and repair the conference center and clubhouse HVAC, roofing systems and miscellaneous deferred maintenance projects. The balance is being held in reserve to fund the new telephone switch and golf course equipment, both of which are expected be installed and or delivered before the end of the first quarter of 2004.

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 conditions that may influence group conferences and guests’ vacations plans; changes in travel patterns; changes in consumer tastes in destinations or accommodations for group conferences and vacations; changes in rental pool participation by the current condominium owners; reaching a settlement agreement with the Company’s 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s working capital position has decreased to a deficit of approximately $105,454,000. This is a reduction of approximately $7,376,000 in working capital from the December 31, 2002 deficit of approximately $98,078,000.

The Company continues to experience seasonal fluctuations in its net working capital position. These fluctuations have been managed in the past through the utilization of an accounts receivable revolving credit line. Effective May 23, 2002, the revolving credit line with Wells Fargo Business Credit was terminated by Wells Fargo as a result of the Company’s default on the participating mortgage with Golf Trust of America (GTA).

The Company was informed by GTA on November 29, 2001 that the Company is in default on the $78,975,000 mortgage and accrued interest, arising from the Company’s failure to pay the October 2001 interest and all subsequent monthly installments. GTA has asserted its right to accelerate payment of the total outstanding principal and interest amounts.

As of November 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 Innisbrook resort property, three condominium units located at the resort, the Company’s ownership interests in GTA stock, and all rights, title and interests of the Company under existing contracts and agreements. In addition, the Company would provide 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 are under any obligation to execute the Settlement Agreement and GTA could initiate foreclosure proceedings or pursue any other legal remedies available to it at any time.

During October 2003, Westin Hotel Company, the manager of the Innisbrook Resort, provided ownership with updated net cash flow projections for the fourth quarter of 2003 and for the year 2004. Due to continuing softness in the general economy and specifically the destination resort industry, these net cash flow projections are significantly less favorable than previously projected for these periods, and will result in operating deficits for such periods.

As described in Note 4 of the notes to consolidated financial statements on the Company’s Form 10-K for December 31, 2002, management had determined that due to declining demand in the hotel golf resort business and related rental pool participation, which led to declines in operating results, impairment of the intangible asset had occurred. At December 31, 2000, an impairment charge of $7,441,000 was recorded. As a result of the continued decline in destination golf resort business during 2001 and the events of September 11, 2001, the Company had determined that further impairment had occurred and consequently recorded an additional $3,000,000 impairment charge during the quarter ended September 30, 2001. No further impairment has been recognized subsequent to the period ended September 30, 2001.
