Safe Harbor Statement—Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including in particular statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and prospects under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek” and similar expressions. Although we believe that the plans, objectives, expectations and prospects reflected in or suggested by our forward-looking statements are reasonable, those statements involve uncertainties and risks, and we can give no assurance that our plans, objectives, expectations and prospects will be achieved. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated by the forward-looking statements are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 under the headings “Business-Risk Factors”, and elsewhere in that report, and relate, without limitation, to matters arising from our emergence from proceedings under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Any or all of these factors could cause our actual results and financial or legal status to differ materially from those expressed or referred to in any forward-looking statement. All written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

Note 1—Background and Basis of Presentation

Principal Products and Services: The operations of Sunterra Corporation (Sunterra) and its wholly owned subsidiaries consist of (i) marketing and selling vacation ownership interests at its locations and off-site sales centers, which entitle the buyer to use a fully-furnished vacation residence, generally for a one-week period each year in perpetuity (Vacation Intervals), and vacation points which may be redeemed for occupancy rights, for varying lengths of stay, at participating resort locations (Vacation Points, and together with Vacation Intervals, Vacation Interests), both of which generally include a deeded, fee-simple interest in a particular unit, (ii) marketing and selling vacation points representing a beneficial interest in a trust which holds title to vacation property real estate for the benefit of purchasers of those points, (iii) leasing Vacation Intervals at certain Caribbean locations, (iv) acquiring, developing, and operating vacation ownership resorts, (v) providing consumer financing to individual purchasers for the purchase of Vacation Interests at its resort locations and off-site sales centers, and (vi) providing resort rental management and maintenance services for which the Company receives fees paid by the resorts’ homeowners’ associations.

Fresh-Start Basis of Presentation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code, as amended. From May 31, 2000 to July 29, 2002, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries operated as debtors-in-possession, having filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on May 31, 2000.

A disclosure statement for a proposed plan of reorganization (the “Plan of Reorganization” or “Plan”) was approved by order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on April 25, 2002, and the Plan of Reorganization and disclosure statement were mailed to creditors on or about May 14, 2002. The Plan received the requisite votes of creditor interests, and the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan by an order entered on June 21, 2002. According to the terms of the Plan, it became effective when certain conditions, as set forth in the Plan, were either satisfied or waived by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors. The conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan were fulfilled on July 29, 2002 (the Effective Date) and the Debtor Entities emerged from their Chapter 11 proceedings on that date.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accounting policies used in preparing these financial statements are the same as those described in such Form 10-K, unless otherwise noted herein. As a result of adopting fresh-start reporting upon emerging from Chapter 11, the Company’s financial statements are not comparable with those prepared for the period before the Plan was confirmed, including the historical consolidated financial statements included herein. References to “Predecessor” refer to the Company through July 31, 2002. References to “Successor” refer to the Company on and after August 1, 2002.

Income (Loss) per Share—Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, 1,790 shares attributable to the exercise of outstanding warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the effect was anti-dilutive. As of July 31, 2002, the effective date of the Plan for accounting purposes, all previously outstanding equity securities of the Company were cancelled.

In connection with implementation of the Plan, approximately 18,045 shares of the Successor Company’s common stock were issued during 2002. Additionally, a distribution of approximately 1,955 shares of the Successor Company’s common stock will be made to pre-petition general unsecured creditors on a pro rata basis for no cash consideration. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, shares of common stock to be issued to the pre-petition general unsecured creditors were considered to be outstanding as of the date of emergence from bankruptcy and included in the computation of income (loss) per share of the Successor Company. No earnings per share calculations are shown for periods prior to the distribution of the Successor Company’s common stock, since the information is not comparable with the Successor Company.

Stock-Based Compensation—The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” The Statement requires prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements regarding the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company accounts for stock compensation awards under the intrinsic method of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25. Opinion No. 25 requires compensation cost to be recognized based on the excess, if any, between the quoted market price of the stock at the date of grant and the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. All options awarded under all of the Company’s plans are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of the grant. The following table presents the effect on the Company’s net (loss) earnings and (loss) earnings per share had the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (in thousands, except for per share amounts). No earnings per share calculations are shown for periods prior to the distribution of the Successor Company’s common stock, since the information is not comparable with the Successor Company.

Reclassifications—Certain reclassifications were made to the 2002 condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2003 presentation.

Note 2—New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. Consolidation by a primary beneficiary of the assets, liabilities and results of activities of variable interest entities will provide more complete information about the resources, obligations, risks and opportunities of the consolidated company. The Interpretation also requires disclosures about variable interest entities that the Company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest. The consolidation requirements of Interpretation No. 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. The Company adopted Interpretation No. 46 as of January 1, 2003. The adoption of Interpretation No. 46 did not have a material impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2003, Proposed AICPA SOP, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions, and proposed FASB SFAS, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67, were issued simultaneously for public comment. The proposed FASB Statement would amend other authoritative pronouncements should the proposed SOP be issued as final. The proposed SOP would eliminate inconsistencies in existing authoritative literature and accepted practices and fill voids that have emerged in revenue recognition guidance in recent years by providing guidance on a seller’s accounting for real estate time-sharing transactions including criteria for and methods of revenue recognition, accounting for selling costs, accounting for credit losses, accounting for repossession of vacation ownership intervals, accounting for operations during interval holding periods, accounting for developer subsidies to interval homeowners’ associations and accounting for upgrade transactions. The comment periods concluded on April 30, 2003. The provisions of this proposed SOP would be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2004. It is not possible to determine at this time the impact that the conclusions of the SOP, when and if it is finalized, may have on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Table of Contents

In January 2002, pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Company entered into an agreement (the Finova Agreement) with Finova Capital Corporation (Finova) that provided for payment by the Company of various loans and financing facilities (Finova Loans) from Finova or its affiliates. Pursuant to the Finova Agreement, the Company paid, in cash and by application of other funds, $100 million (determined after giving effect to a prior release to Finova of $5 million held by Finova as cash collateral) and Finova returned collateral securing the Finova Loans. The payment to Finova represented a discount of $27.0 million from the principal amount of the Finova Loans. Pursuant to the Finova Agreement, the Company and Finova each released the other parties from liabilities and obligations relating to the Finova Loans and certain other matters, including those that were the subject of pending litigation between the parties. The Company obtained a portion of the funds to pay the Finova Loans from term loans under its debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing facility and paid a brokerage fee of $13.4 million to its DIP lender for negotiating the settlement with Finova. The Company recorded a net gain on settlement of debt of $13.6 million, which is included as an offset to reorganization costs.

Note 6—Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. The reconciliation of net income (loss) to comprehensive net loss is as follows:

Note 7—Segment and Geographic Information

The Company currently operates in two geographic segments, the North America and foreign segments. During the Chapter 11 proceedings, the Company operated in three segments, North American Debtor Entities, North American Non-Debtor Entities and foreign entities. All of these segments operate in one industry segment that includes the development, marketing, sales, financing and management of vacation ownership resorts. The Company’s areas of operation outside of North America include the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Germany and France. The Company’s management evaluates performance of each segment based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes not including extraordinary items and the cumulative effect of change in accounting principles. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of accounting policies. No single customer accounts for a significant amount of the Company’s revenues. Information about the Company’s operations in different geographic locations or segments is shown below:

Sunterra Pacific, as Manager of the VTS Program, filed an arbitration proceeding against the VTS Owners Association Board

of Directors because it declined to renew the Management Agreement without reasonable cause. The Board filed a counter petition alleging cause. The parties have agreed to an indefinite stay of the arbitration proceedings, which the Arbitrators confirmed February 26, 2003, so that the parties may pursue settlement negotiations. This action is in the early stages of arbitration; however, management believes that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Sunterra licensed certain computer software under a software license granted by RCI Technology Corp., formerly known as Resort Computer Corporation (RCC). That software was the foundation for Sunterra’s integrated computer system, which manages a wide range of hospitality functions, such as reservations, inventory control, sales commissions, Club Sunterra operations, housekeeping and marketing. RCI Technology filed a motion in the Chapter 11 Cases alleging that the license agreement should be deemed rejected, which RCI Technology asserts would have the effect of terminating the license. Sunterra opposed the motion, and the Bankruptcy Court ruled in favor of Sunterra and denied RCI Technology’s motion. On June 14, 2002, RCI Technology filed a notice of appeal of the Court’s decision. On January 10, 2003, the United States District Court of Maryland affirmed the order of the Bankruptcy Court, denying the motion of RCI Technology. RCI Technology has further appealed that decision to the United States Court of Appeals, 4^th Circuit, and that appeal is expected to be heard in the 2^nd or 3^rd quarter of 2003. Although Sunterra’s new “ATLAS” computer system, when fully implemented, is intended to fully replace any software based on the RCI Technology system, a victory by RCI Technology in this litigation prior to full implementation of ATLAS could have a material adverse effect on the Company

The Company holds a 23.3% interest in a limited partnership (the Joint Venture) that operates a vacation ownership resort in Hawaii. The Joint Venture refinanced existing debt in March 2003. In connection with the refinancing, the Company (as well as its partners on a pro rata basis) provided limited guarantees in the event the lenders suffer losses for a number of specific reasons including fraud, misrepresentation, environmental conditions and certain zoning and property-specific matters. These guarantees are limited to the specified items of risk, and do not generally guarantee repayment of the refinanced obligations, and expire with the repayment of the debt. The Company is unable to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments under guarantees for fraud or misrepresentation, and does not believe that it will be required to perform under the guarantee as it relates to environmental conditions, certain zoning and property-specific matters. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a liability for any potential obligations under the guaranties.

The Company is also currently subject to litigation and claims regarding employment, tort, contract, construction, sales taxes and commission disputes, among others. Many of such litigation and claims were pre-petition and were treated as general unsecured creditors under the plan of reorganization. In management’s judgment, none of such litigation or claims against the Company is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements or its business.

Note 9—Related Party Transactions

The Company has a contract with Westpac Resort Group LLC (Westpac), a company majority owned by the Chief Executive Officer of Sunterra USA. Westpac arranges tours of vacation residences for potential customers. Management believes that the terms of the agreement are comparable to that of an arms-length transaction. Total payments to Westpac under this agreement were $0.5 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The Company sells Vacation Points under a franchising agreement with a company that is 50% owned by the spouse of the former director of franchise operations for Sunterra Europe. The former director of franchise operations left the Company in May 2002, and the Company is still selling Vacation Points under the franchising agreement. Management believes that terms of the franchising agreement are comparable to those of an agreement with an unrelated third party. Sales through March 2002 under the franchising agreement were approximately $0.2 million.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements set forth certain data with respect to our financial position, results of operation, and cash flows which should be read in conjunction with the following discussion and analysis. The terms “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Sunterra Corporation and its subsidiaries. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 under the headings “Business-Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in that report. See the Safe Harbor Statement at the beginning of this report.

Overview

We are a vacation ownership (timeshare) company with resort locations in North America, Europe, the Caribbean, and Latin America and approximately 315,000 owner families. Our operations consist of:

12

Table of Contents

We refer to Vacation Points and Vacation Intervals together as “Vacation Interests.”

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2002

We achieved total revenues of $63.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $58.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, an increase of 7.7%. Overall revenues for domestic operations increased 5.8% to $42.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $40.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, and revenues from foreign operations increased by $2.2 million, or 11.9%, to $21.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

Vacation Interest sales were $40.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $5.0 million or 14.4%, compared to $35.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. This increase is the result of continued higher investments in and focus on advertising, sales and marketing efforts.

Vacation Interest lease revenues increased $1.5 million, or 63.5%, to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The increase is attributable to a larger owner base at certain Caribbean properties versus the prior years and resulting higher overall levels of maintenance fees in 2003, completion of additional units which became available for lease in the fourth quarter 2002, and restructuring of the regional sales staff, offset by one-time maintenance fees billed to owners of certain Caribbean properties in 2002.

Club Sunterra revenues of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $0.4 million higher than the $1.8 million recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2002, due to an increase in club memberships.

Resort rental revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were $2.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The $0.6 million or 19.6% decrease is attributable to the sale of the Carambola Beach Resort located in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, in August 2002.

Management services revenues fell by $0.8 million to $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This decrease from $5.2 million for the first quarter 2002 was driven by non-renewals of certain management contracts.

Interest revenues, primarily from financing provided to purchasers and lessees of Vacation Interests, decreased 13.1% to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease resulted from continued higher levels of prepayments, as well as amortization of premium recorded in connection with the fair market value adjustment recorded upon our emergence from Chapter 11.

Other revenues, which mainly consists of sampler vacation program revenues, travel service revenue, resort amenity income and finance commissions, remained steady at $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 versus $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002.

Vacation Interest cost of sales of $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased $0.2 million, or 2.1%, from $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. As a percentage of Vacation Interest sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, Vacation Interest cost of sales was 19.2% and 22.4%, respectively. This decrease (as a percentage of Vacation Interest sales) is due to our fresh start adjustments to real estate and development costs in the fourth quarter of 2002.

For the three months ended March 31, 2003, advertising, sales and marketing costs were $26.4 million or 65.9% of Vacation Interest sales compared to $23.5 million and 67.0%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The $2.9 million increase is attributed to our decision to increase investments in advertising, sales and marketing to stimulate Vacation Interest sales.

The provision for doubtful accounts and loan losses was $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Of these amounts, $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, related to mortgages and contracts receivable. The allowance for mortgages and contracts receivable at March 31, 2003 was $30.9 million, representing approximately 15.0% of the total portfolio outstanding at that date, compared to $32.4 million and 15.2% at December 31, 2002. The decrease in the provision for

13

Table of Contents

doubtful accounts and loan losses reflect continuing improvements resulting from our various initiatives, including standardization of underwriting procedures (including higher levels of purchasers’ overall creditworthiness), more timely correspondence with customers whose mortgages and contracts are delinquent, and higher down payments being obtained upon initial sales and leases. We have also benefited from customers prepaying their receivables at higher rates than in the past. Additionally, we have placed more emphasis on timely foreclosures and writing-off delinquent receivables. The remainder of the provision for doubtful accounts of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 represents estimated uncollectible amounts due from homeowner associations and other receivables.

Loan portfolio expenses decreased 9.7% to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. This improvement is attributable to stabilization of the collections and underwriting process as a result of our initiatives noted above.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2003, held relatively steady at $19.0 million, a slight 2.6% increase from $18.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses were 30.1% and 31.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 12.4%, or $0.4 million, to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, resulting from the disposition of certain properties in 2002, as well as fresh start adjustments to property and equipment in third quarter 2002.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2003, net of capitalized interest of $0, was $6.0 million, compared to $4.5 million, net of capitalized interest of $0.1 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The increase was primarily attributable to increased borrowings under our financing facilities in first quarter 2003 ($225.1 million as of March 31, 2003) versus borrowings under our debtor-in-possession financing facility during the prior year ($147.0 million at March 31, 2002).

Reorganization costs were $0.3 million in the first quarter 2003. Due to a gain on settlement of debt of $13.6 million offset against reorganization costs of $6.7 million, reorganization expenses were ($7.0 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2002. Excluding the gain on settlement of debt in the first quarter 2002, reorganization costs decreased $6.4 million, or 94.3%, a direct result of our emergence from bankruptcy on July 29, 2002.

Restructuring expenses of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, related to the implementation of a new strategic plan, which included streamlining of our legal structure as well as relocation of our headquarters and the related personnel to Las Vegas, Nevada. No restructuring costs were recorded in the first quarter 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We generate cash principally from down payments on Vacation Interest sales and leases financed, cash sales of Vacation Interests, principal and interest payments on mortgages and contracts receivable and collection of Club Sunterra membership fees, resort rentals and management fees.

During the three months ended March 31, 2003, net cash used in operating activities was $1.6 million. Our net loss of $6.2 million was offset by $6.0 million of non-cash transactions, including $3.0 million in depreciation and amortization and $2.2 million in amortization of capitalized financing costs, and a $1.1 million net decrease in working capital.

During the three months ended March 31, 2003, net cash provided by investing activities was $9.8 million, with distributions from joint ventures of $10.6 million offset by capital expenditures of $1.2 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2003, net cash used in financing activities was $15.3 million. Cash used in financing activities was primarily the result of payments of $15.0 million on our financing facility with Merrill Lynch Mortgage Capital, Inc.

We currently anticipate spending approximately $7.5 million for real estate and development costs at existing resort locations during the remainder of 2003. We plan to fund these expenditures with cash generated from operations and borrowings under our financing facility. We believe that, with respect to our current operations, cash generated from operations and future borrowings will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs through the end of 2003. If these are not sufficient, we have the ability to adjust our spending on real estate and development costs.

The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2003 was $30.9 million, or 15.0% of the gross mortgages and contracts receivable outstanding at that date. We believe the allowance is adequate. However, if the amount of mortgages and contracts receivable that is ultimately written off materially exceeds the related allowances, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

14

Table of Contents

Our plan for meeting our liquidity needs may be affected by, but not limited to, the following: demand for our product, our ability to borrow funds under our current financing arrangements, an increase in prepayment speeds and default rates on our mortgages and contracts receivable, deterioration of economic conditions, war on terrorist activities affecting the travel and tourism industry and limitations on our ability to conduct marketing activities.

Completed units at various resort properties are acquired or developed in advance, and we finance a significant portion of the purchase price of Vacation Intervals. Thus, we continually need funds to acquire and develop property, to carry notes receivable contracts and to provide working capital. We anticipate being able to borrow against our mortgages receivable at terms favorable to us. If we are unable to borrow against or sell our mortgages receivable in the future, particularly if we suffer any significant decline in the credit quality of our mortgages receivable, our ability to acquire additional resort units will be adversely affected and our profitability from sales of Vacation Interests may be reduced or eliminated.

Recent economic forecasts suggest continued higher level of prepayment rates versus that evidenced historically. Further, trends in our portfolio in the past fifteen months indicate increased prepayment rates over historical amounts. To the extent that mortgages receivable are paid off prior to their contractual maturity at a rate more rapid than we have estimated, the fair value of our residual interests will be impacted.

At March 31, 2003, our U.S. operations has approximately 16,600 Vacation Intervals available for sale or lease, our Sunterra Pacific operations had approximately 66,200 points available, which are equivalent to approximately 343 Vacation Intervals, and our European operations had approximately 472,000 points available, which are equivalent to approximately 10,100 Vacation Intervals. With the completion of current projects in progress, the acquisition of new resorts and the expansion of existing resorts, we believe we will have an adequate supply of Vacation Intervals available to meet our planned growth through the early part of 2005.

Corporate Finance

On average, we finance approximately 62% of domestic Vacation Interest revenues. Accordingly, we do not generate sufficient cash from sales to provide the necessary capital to pay the costs of developing additional resorts and to replenish working capital. We believe that revenues, together with amounts available under our financing facility will be sufficient to fund our operations.

Under the terms of our financing facility, we obtained a two-year senior asset-based non-amortizing revolving credit facility in the amount of $300 million. The availability of borrowings under our financing facility is based on the amount of eligible mortgages receivable, the value of eligible vacation interests inventory and the value of certain real property and other assets. Our financing facility is secured by a first priority lien on the mortgages receivable and vacation interests inventory, as well as certain real property and other of our assets, subject to certain exceptions. Borrowings under our facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 3%, 5%, or 7%, depending on the type of assets collateralizing various advances. In addition to the facility fee (2.5% of $300 million) paid in connection with the commitment and the closing of tour financing facility, we issued a warrant exercisable for 1,190,148 shares of new common stock at an exercise price of $15.25 per share, subject to adjustment under certain anti-dilution provisions of the warrant. Also, we will pay an unused commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the excess availability under the credit facility. Availability under our financing facility at March 31, 2003 was $55.0 million.

ITEM 3.—QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Risk

Our total revenues denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars for the three months ended March 31, 2003, primarily revenues derived from the United Kingdom, were approximately $21.1 million, or 33.3% of total revenues. Our net assets maintained in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars at March 31, 2003, which were primarily assets located in Western Europe, were approximately 20.7% of total net assets. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates have not historically been significant to our operations or net assets.

Interest Rate Risk

As of March 31, 2003, we had floating interest rate debt of approximately $225.1 million, comprised of amounts outstanding under the Merrill Lynch Financing Facility. The floating interest rate on our financing facility is based upon the prevailing LIBOR rate and interest rate changes can impact earnings and operating cash flows. A change in interest rates of one percent on the balance outstanding at March 31, 2003 would cause a change in quarterly interest expense of approximately $0.6 million.

ITEM 4.—CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this report, an evaluation was carried out by our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that

evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no significant changes in internal control nor in factors that could significantly affect internal control, subsequent to the date the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer completed their evaluation.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the normal course of business, we are subject to various legal claims and actions. In the opinion of management, taking into account the effect of the plan of reorganization, any liability arising from or relating to these claims, or other claims under the plan, should not materially and adversely affect us, with the possible exception of the matters described below.

In 1996, the State of Hawaii Department of Taxation began audits of Sunterra Pacific and the VTS Operating Fund, Inc. established by Sunterra Pacific as a repository for pass through funds relating to obligations of Sunterra Pacific timeshare owners. On July 20, 2000, the Department of Taxation issued final assessments for general excise and use tax claimed to be owed by Sunterra Pacific for June 30, 1987 through June 30, 1999. The assessments for back taxes, penalties and interest total approximately $5.76 million. In a parallel audit of the VTS Operating Fund, the Department of Taxation issued proposed assessments for general excise and use tax for the period June 30, 1994 through June 30, 1998. These assessments for back taxes, penalties and interest total approximately $1.35 million. Sunterra Pacific disputes many of the assessments described above and is currently attempting to resolve the payment of the assessments. Sunterra representatives continue to work with representatives with the Department of Taxation to discuss the assessments and the possibility of settlement.

Sunterra Pacific, as Manager of the VTS Program, filed an arbitration proceeding against the VTS Owners Association Board of Directors alleging it declined to renew its management agreement with Sunterra Pacific without reasonable cause. The Board filed a counter petition alleging cause. The parties have agreed to an indefinite stay of the arbitration proceedings, which the arbitrators confirmed February 26, 2003, so that the parties may pursue settlement negotiations.

Sunterra licensed certain computer software under a software license granted by RCI Technology Corp., formerly known as Resort Computer Corporation. That software was the foundation for our integrated computer system, which manages a wide range of hospitality functions, such as reservations, inventory control, sales commissions, Club Sunterra operations, housekeeping and marketing. RCI Technology filed a motion in our bankruptcy proceedings alleging that the license agreement should be deemed rejected, which RCI Technology asserted would have the effect of terminating the license. We opposed the motion, and the Bankruptcy Court ruled in our favor and denied RCI Technology’s motion. On June 14, 2002, RCI Technology filed a notice of appeal of the Bankruptcy Court’s decision. On January 10, 2003, the United States District Court of Maryland affirmed the order of the Bankruptcy Court, denying RCI Technology’s motion. RCI Technology has further appealed that decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and that appeal is expected to be heard in the second or third quarter of 2003. Although our new “ATLAS” computer system, when fully implemented, is intended to fully replace any software based on the RCI Technology system, a victory by RCI Technology in this litigation prior to full implementation of ATLAS could have a material adverse effect on us.

On November 13, 2000, a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (Orlando Division), relating to a putative securities fraud class action brought on behalf of purchasers of our common stock for the period from October 8, 1998 through January 19, 2000. Shortly after the class period, fifteen cases were filed in the district court and were consolidated. Originally, Sunterra and several of its officers and directors were named as defendants in the consolidated cases. Following our filing for bankruptcy protection, the consolidated cases were automatically stayed against us in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code Section 362. The complaint named former officers and two former directors of Sunterra as defendants, as well as Arthur Andersen, LLP, our independent auditors during the class period. In or about the spring of 2001, all of the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint. On March 12, 2002, the district court entered an order dismissing the complaint against each of the defendants without prejudice. A Second Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint was filed in the district court on July 3, 2002. All defendants are prior directors or officers of Sunterra. None of the defendants were with Sunterra in any capacity after the effective date of the plan of reorganization. Sunterra’s rights in connection with this lawsuit have been assigned to the litigation trust established under our plan of reorganization.
