PART I

Item 1. Business

Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc., (the "Registrant") was incorporated in the State of
Florida on June 20, 1979 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pittway Real Estate,
Inc. ("PREI"). PREI was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Penton Publishing, Inc.
which, in turn, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pittway Corporation of
Northbrook, Illinois. The Registrant was formed to acquire an existing golf
course and tennis club and develop it into a condominium resort and residential
homes project.

Thomas L. Dempsey ("Dempsey") effectively purchased one hundred percent (100%)
of the authorized and issued stock of the Registrant from PREI on November 14,
1988 for approximately $24,116,000. Dempsey is the former Chairman of the Board
of Penton Publishing, Inc. and a former Director and Vice President of Pittway
Corporation. Dempsey subsequently gifted 13,000 shares of the Registrant's
non-voting stock to family trusts (see Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain
Beneficial Owners and Management of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated
herein by reference).

Prior to November 14, 1988, the Registrant operated and reported the results of
its operations in two industry segments: (1) the real estate segment was
engaged in the development, construction and sales of resort and residential
condominium units, homes and residential lots and (2) the resort segment was
engaged in the ownership and operation of the resort including its facilities
for hotel, convention, food and beverage, golf, tennis and other recreational
activities.

In connection with and immediately prior to the sale of the stock of the
Registrant to Dempsey, the Registrant deeded the property which comprised its
real estate segment to PREI as a dividend from a subsidiary to its parent. The
property that was conveyed to PREI was not used as part of the resort or by its
rental guests or condominium owners.

The operations of the Registrant are not considered to be dependent upon the
availability of raw materials, nor the effect of the duration of patents,
licenses, franchises or concessions held.

The Registrant's resort operations are seasonal with a higher volume of sales
during the winter and spring seasons.

The Registrant's competition includes major golf and tennis resorts nationwide,
which provide luxury accommodations and facilities for conventions and
recreational activities.

At December 31, 1997, there were approximately 860 persons employed by the
Registrant.

Item 2. Properties

Saddlebrook Resort is located in south Pasco County, near Tampa, Florida. The
property originally consisted of approximately 330 acres which the Registrant
purchased in July 1979. In addition, approximately 170 and 11 adjoining acres
were purchased and added to the Saddlebrook project in 1984 and 1985,
respectively. The Registrant's property has been approved for 950 residential
and condominium units.

A portion of the Registrant's property that was being developed as residential
single family and cluster homes and improved residential lots known as Fairway
Village was deeded to PREI in November 1988 (see Item 1. Business of this Form
10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference).

Property improvements for the resort consist of condominiums which were sold or
are for sale to outside parties of which there were 551 rental units
participating in a rental pooling program at December 31, 1997 (see Exhibit 28
- - Interest Being Registered of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by
reference). As of December 31, 1997, there were 20 condominiums owned by the
Registrant.

In addition, the resort facilities include a 117,000 square foot convention
facility with approximately 60,000 square feet of meeting space, two 18-hole
golf courses, 45 tennis courts, a luxury health spa, a fitness center, three
swimming pools, three restaurants, shops and other facilities necessary for the
operation of a resort.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

On May 12, 1989, the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in and for
Pasco County, Florida, in the lawsuit, James H. Porter and Martha Porter,
Trustees, et al v. Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. and the County of Pasco, Florida,
Case No. 83-1860, entered a judgment against the Registrant in the amount of
$8,082,000 relating to damages to adjacent property for surface water effects.
In addition, an injunction was entered to remediate damages relating thereto.

On October 14, 1989, the Registrant and Pittway Corporation entered into an
agreement, and on July 16, 1993 an amended agreement, to split equally the
costs of the defense of the litigation, the ultimate judgment and the mandated
remedial work. The agreements provide for Pittway Corporation to make
subordinated loans to the Registrant, if required, to enable the Registrant to
pay for its half of these costs (see Item 1. Business of this Form 10-K, which
is incorporated herein by reference).

Item 3. Legal Proceedings (continued)

On March 18, 1992, the Florida Second District Court of Appeal issued an
opinion reversing and vacating the jury verdict and judgment against the
Registrant and ordering a new trial due to the false testimony of plaintiffs'
expert hydrologist. On December 22, 1993, the Registrant filed a motion for
summary judgment in the trial court on grounds that the findings in its favor
by an administrative law judge in a related proceeding bar further litigation
of this matter. An order granting the summary judgment and dismissing the
action was entered on January 7, 1995. On August 16, 1996, the Florida Second
District Court of Appeal filed an opinion affirming, in part, and reversing, in
part, the summary judgment. On November 19, 1996, the Registrant filed a motion
with the trial court to determine the issues that remain for retrial. Oral
argument was heard on May 15, 1997. A ruling on said motion is expected in
1998. Management currently believes that the Registrant's position in further
litigation would be meritorious.

The Registrant is involved in other litigation in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management, these matters are adequately covered by
insurance or indemnification from other third parties. The effect, if any, of
these claims is, in management's opinion, immaterial to the Registrant's
financial condition and results of operations.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Not applicable.

PART II

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters

The Registrant's stock is privately held and there is no established market for
the stock (see Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference).

Condominium units that were developed and sold by the Registrant are deemed to
be securities due to the rental pool feature (see Exhibit 28 - Interest Being
Registered of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference).
However, there is no market for such securities other than the normal real
estate market. Since the security is real estate, no dividends have been paid
or will be paid.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Registrant's current debt, and the related debt of an affiliate, matures on
July 16, 1998. Accordingly, the Registrant's debt is classified as a current
liability on its balance sheet. The current lender has verbally indicated that
the maturing debt may be renewed with similar terms. However, management is
nearing the completion of negotiations for longer-term financing with other
lenders. Management believes this refinancing will occur before the maturity
date of the current debt (see Note 6 - Note Payable of the Notes to Financial
Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by
reference).

Construction of the resort facilities was substantially complete as of December
31, 1982. During the fiscal periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the
Registrant constructed a new fitness and recreation center and upgraded its
previous fitness center area into a luxury spa at a total aggregate cost of
$1,440,000. During the fiscal period ended December 31, 1995, the Registrant
completed several capital projects for an aggregate cost of approximately
$2,277,000. However, no individual project had a cost in excess of $1,000,000.
There were no other major capital additions or improvements during the fiscal
years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

Significant capital expenditures are not anticipated in the next year. Future
operating costs and planned expenditures for minor capital additions and
improvements will be funded by the resort operations of the Registrant or by
additional financing pursuant to the anticipated refinancing of the
Registrant's debt discussed above.

Management is not aware of any environmental matters other than the issue in
Item 3. Legal Proceedings of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by
reference.

The Registrant's operations are not considered to be dependent on any
individual or small group of customers, the loss of whom would have a material
adverse effect.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)

Management is aware of the issues associated with the programming code in
existing computer systems as the millennium (year 2000) approaches. Management
has commenced the replacement and upgrading of the Registrant's computer
systems so that the systems are converted to the current technological
standards for its industry. Accordingly, management anticipates that the
Registrant's computer systems will be year 2000-compliant and the effects of
the millennium on the Registrant's operations will be minimized.

There are no adverse purchase or other commitments outstanding as of December
31, 1997.

Results of Operations

Revenues for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 were
comprised of the following areas of operation:



Year ended December 31,
------------------------
1997 1996 1995
------ ------ ------

Hotel revenues 48% 49% 50%

Merchandise sales 36 36 36

Club fees 15 15 13

Other income 1 - 1
--- --- ---
100% 100% 100%
=== === ===



Total revenues increased 12% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 when
compared with the previous year. This improvement was a result of increases in
occupied unit nights, average daily rate and number of guests who stayed at the
resort for 1997 when compared to the prior fiscal period. Total revenues
increased 5% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 when compared with its
previous year. This improvement was a result of increases in occupied unit
nights and number of guests who stayed at the resort, which were offset
slightly by a decrease in the average daily rate, for 1996 when compared to
fiscal 1995. The above improvements in guest occupancies are attributed to
various remodeling projects and the upgrading of the resort property that
occurred over the last few years. Projections for occupied unit nights and
revenues for 1998 and subsequent fiscal periods are expected to continue a
slight growth trend.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)

Net income increased 80% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 when
compared with the previous year. This increase is a direct result of the
increased revenues which were offset by increased general costs of operation.
Net income decreased 3% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 when
compared with its previous year. This decrease was a result of increased
depreciation and interest expense related to recent capital improvements along
with increased general costs of operation.

The Registrant elected S Corporation status effective February 1, 1990.
Accordingly, the Registrant has subsequently had no income tax expense as the
tax is assessed at the shareholder level (see Note 8 Income Taxes of the Notes
to Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated
herein by reference).

In management's estimation, the effects of inflation and changing prices on the
Registrant's results of operations were negligible in 1997, 1996 and 1995.

Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation

The Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation (the "Rental Pool") is described in Note
2. Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Financial Statements of
Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. and in Note 1. Rental Pool Operations and Rental Pool
Agreement of the Notes to Financial Statements of Saddlebrook Rental Pool
Operation in Item 8 of this Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by
reference.

The average occupancy for fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995 was 54%, 51% and 49%,
respectively. The average distribution of Net Rental Income per participating
rental unit for fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $11,093, $9,881 and $9,733,
respectively.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Accountants, for Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. are included on pages 12 to 22 and
for Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation on pages 23 to 27. An index to the

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based

SADDLEBROOK RESORTS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. THE COMPANY:

Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of
Florida in June 1979 at which time it purchased a golf course and tennis
complex, as well as certain undeveloped land, located in Pasco County,
Florida, which was developed as a resort-condominium and residential homes
project. Property improvements for the resort consist of condominiums
which were sold or are for sale to outside parties. The majority of the
condominium units sold are provided as hotel accommodations by their
owners under a Rental Pool and Agency Appointment Agreement. In addition,
the resort facilities include two 18 hole golf courses, 45 tennis courts,
three swimming pools, three restaurants, a 117,000 square foot convention
facility with approximately 60,000 square feet of meeting space, a luxury
health spa, a fitness center, shops and other facilities necessary for the
operation of a luxury resort. The Company was purchased by its current
majority shareholder in 1988.

In December 1994, the Company's sole shareholder approved an amendment to
the Company's Articles of Incorporation increasing the amount of
authorized shares of common stock to 50,000 voting and 50,000 nonvoting
shares from 25,000 shares. Each share of voting stock outstanding was
exchanged for 100 shares of voting and 100 shares of nonvoting stock. Par
value of the stock remained unchanged at $1 per share.

Effective October 1, 1995, the Company's sole shareholder gifted 6,500
nonvoting shares to each of two family trusts. The ownership percentages
are 87%, 6.5% and 6.5% for the controlling shareholder and the two trusts,
respectively.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies follows:

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Cash equivalents

All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of
3 months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Resort inventory and supplies

Inventory includes operating materials and supplies and is accounted for
at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market.

Investments

Investments of the Company, which are held to maturity, are recorded at
amortized cost, which approximates fair market value.




-17-

18

SADDLEBROOK RESORTS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Property, buildings and equipment

Property, buildings and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets on a straight-line
basis. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add
to or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized.

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as
incurred. With the retirement or other disposition of property, buildings
and equipment, the cost of the assets and related accumulated depreciation
amounts are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses
are reflected in operations.

Management periodically reviews the potential impairment of property,
buildings and equipment in order to determine the proper carrying value of
property, buildings and equipment as of each balance sheet date presented.

Deferred charges

In connection with the Company's refinancing of its debt during 1993 and
further consolidation of debt through 1997, costs in the amount of
$569,244 have been incurred and capitalized. These debt issuance costs
are being amortized using a method that approximates the interest method
over 5 years, the life of the related debt outstanding.

Amortization expense for deferred charges amounted to $126,580, $122,266
and $92,531 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

Rental pool operations

Resort revenues include rental revenues for condominium units owned by
third parties participating in the rental pool. If these rental units
were owned by the Company, normal costs associated with ownership such as
depreciation, real estate taxes, maintenance, and other costs would have
been incurred. Instead, resort operating expenses for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 include rental pool distributions
approximating $6,090,000, $5,385,000 and $5,285,000, respectively.

3. ESCROWED CASH:

Escrowed cash, restricted as to use, at December 31 is comprised of the
following:





1997 1996

Rental pool unit owner deposits for maintenance
reserve fund held in bank accounts which bear an
interest rate of 2.20% $66,570 $194,287
Security deposits held on long-term rentals 25,950 22,400

ratio of 125% over the term of the loan. The agreement also contains
restrictive covenants regarding lease agreements, assignment of contracts,

The Company is in the process of working with certain financial
institutions to refinance the current note payable on terms substantially
consistent with its existing obligation. Management believes the note
payable will be refinanced prior to its due date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On March 18, 1992, the Florida Second District Court of Appeal issued an
opinion reversing and vacating the jury verdict and judgment against the
Company and ordered a new trial. On December 7, 1994, the trial court
heard oral argument on the merits of the Company's motion for summary
judgments based on collateral estoppel and ruled in the Company's favor.
On December 23, 1994, the plaintiffs filed a motion seeking clarification
of the court's December 7, 1994 ruling. Thereafter, on January 5, 1995
the Company filed its response in opposition to that motion. On January
7, 1995, the court entered an order granting summary judgment in favor of
the Company and dismissing the action. The plaintiffs then appealed said
order to the Florida Second District Court of Appeal on April 21, 1995.
On August 16, 1996, the appellate court issued its opinion affirming and
reversing, in part, the trial court's grant of summary judgment to the
Company. On November 19, 1996, the Company filed a motion to determine
the issues that remain for retrial. Oral argument for that motion took
place on May 15, 1997. The court has not ruled on the motion and no trial
date has been set. Management currently believes that the Company's
position in further litigation would be meritorious.

The Company is involved in other litigation in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management, these matters are adequately
covered by insurance or indemnification from other third parties and/or
the effect, if any, of these claims is not material to the reported
financial condition or results of operations of the Company as of December
31, 1997.

Loan guarantees

The Company is contingently liable for the notes payable to a bank in the
amount of $629,000 maturing in 1998 recorded by SIT, a related party.

Insurance pool

The Company has pooled its risks with other resorts by forming an
insurance purchasing group in which they retain an equity interest and to
which they pay insurance premiums. The Company's ownership is less than
8% and all amounts contributed as capital ($122,950 as of December 31,
1997) are reflected as prepaid expenses and other assets in the
accompanying Balance Sheets. The Company's investment approximates the
proportionate net book value of the insurance company as of December 31,
1997. The Company may withdraw from the risk pool at any renewal date
(annually).

material respects, the financial position of the Saddlebrook Rental Pool
Operation (funds created for participants who have entered into a rental pool
agreement as explained in Note 1) at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the

each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the rental pool's operators; our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We

SADDLEBROOK RENTAL POOL OPERATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1. RENTAL POOL OPERATIONS AND RENTAL POOL AGREEMENT:

Condominium units are provided as rental (hotel) accommodations by their
owners under the Rental Pool and Agency Appointment Agreement (the
"Agreement") with Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. (collectively, the "Rental
Pool"). Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. ("Saddlebrook") acts as operator of
the Rental Pool, which provides for the distribution of a percentage of
net rental income, as defined, to the owners.

The Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation consists of two funds, the Rental
Pool Income Distribution Fund ("Distribution Fund") and the Maintenance
and Furniture Replacement Escrow Fund ("Maintenance Escrow Fund"). The
operations of the Distribution Fund reflect the earnings of the Rental
Pool. The Distribution Fund balance sheets reflect amounts due from
Saddlebrook for the rental pool distribution payable to participants and
amounts due to the Maintenance Escrow Fund. The amounts due from
Saddlebrook are required to be distributed no later than forty-five days
following the end of each calendar quarter. The Maintenance Escrow Fund
reflects the accounting for escrowed assets used to maintain unit
interiors and replace furniture as it becomes necessary.

Rental pool participants and Saddlebrook share rental revenues according
to the provisions of the Agreement. Net Rental Income shared consists of
rentals received less a marketing surcharge of 7 1/2%, a 12 1/2%
management fee, travel agent commissions, credit card expense and a
provision for bad debts, if warranted. Saddlebrook receives 45% of Net
Rental Income as operator of the Rental Pool. The remaining 55% of Net
Rental Income after adjustments for complimentary room revenues (ten
percent of the normal unit rental price paid by Saddlebrook for
promotional use of the unit) and certain minor repair and replacement
charges is available for distribution to the participants and maintenance
escrow fund based upon each participants' respective participation factor
(computed using the value of a furnished unit and the number of days it
was available to the pool). Quarterly, 45% of Net Rental Income is
distributed to participants, and 10%, as adjusted for complimentary room
revenues and minor interior maintenance and replacement charges, is
deposited in an escrow account until a maximum of 20% of the set value of
the individual owner's furniture package has been accumulated. Excess
escrow balances are refunded to participants.
