PART I.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
KSL Recreation Group, Inc. was incorporated on March 14, 1997, under the
laws of the State of Delaware. KSL Recreation Group, Inc., together with its
subsidiaries (the "Company"), are engaged in service-based recreation through
the ownership and management of resorts, golf courses, private clubs, and
activities related thereto. The Company's operations currently include: (i)
the La Quinta Resort & Club ("La Quinta") and PGA WEST ("PGA WEST"), located
in the Palm Springs, California area, which, together, constitute the
Company's "Desert Resorts" operations; (ii) Doral Golf Resort and Spa
("Doral"), located near Miami, Florida; (iii) a hotel and recreational
complex at Lake Lanier near Atlanta, Georgia ("Lake Lanier Islands"); (iv)
Grand Traverse Resort ("Grand Traverse"), located in the northwest portion of
the lower peninsula of Michigan; and (v) KSL Fairways ("Fairways"), which
operates 22 golf course properties located in six states. The Company is
wholly owned by KSL Recreation Corporation, a Delaware corporation
incorporated on May 19, 1993 ("Parent"), approximately 96.7% of the common
stock (84.5% on a fully diluted basis) of which is owned by partnerships
formed at the direction of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., L.P., an affiliate
of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.
In July, 1993, Parent, through a subsidiary, acquired Fairways. In
December, 1993, Parent, through certain subsidiaries, acquired Desert Resorts
and Doral. On May 15, 1996, Parent, through a subsidiary, began operating Lake
Lanier Islands pursuant to an interim management agreement with Lake Lanier
Islands Development Authority ("LLIDA"), an agency of the State of Georgia,
which leases the property from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. Shortly after
the Company's formation in March 1997, the subsidiaries of the Parent which
owned Desert Resorts, Doral and Fairways, and managed Lake Lanier Islands became
wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. In August 1997, the Company closed on
a fifty-year sublease of Lake Lanier Islands and acquired Grand Traverse.
The Company's operations comprise numerous, interrelated services,
including lodging, conference services, corporate hospitality programs and
facilities, food and beverage, private and resort golf operations, club
membership programs, and entertainment and athletic focused special events.
DESERT RESORTS
Desert Resorts is located in the City of La Quinta, California, a golf and
recreation destination located near Palm Springs, California. Since the
acquisition of Desert Resorts, the Company has invested significant capital in
facilities-related improvements, initiated measures designed to enhance and
expand the revenue base, and introduced numerous operating efficiencies.
Desert Resorts includes La Quinta, formerly known as the La Quinta Hotel,
which opened in 1926. La Quinta currently offers 640 "casita"-style hotel rooms
(Spanish-style cottages) spread over approximately 45 acres of grounds,
featuring indigenous architecture and a campus-like setting, and caters to both
corporate groups, individual guests and recreation enthusiasts. La Quinta's
facilities include approximately 66,000 square feet of conference space, eight
restaurants, 25 pools, 38 spas, three championship 18-hole golf courses, three
clubhouses and 23 tennis courts.
Desert Resorts also includes PGA WEST, a residential and resort golf
community comprised of five championship 18-hole golf courses, three clubhouses
and nineteen tennis courts. Both PGA WEST and La Quinta operate private club
businesses, which represent a growth opportunity at both Desert Resorts and
throughout the Company.
Both La Quinta's and PGA WEST's private club operations provide golf and
tennis facilities, golf and tennis instruction, special events, and dining and
social activities to its members. A full golf membership at La Quinta currently
requires a $47,500 deposit, which is fully refundable in thirty years (or sooner
under certain circumstances), and annual golf dues of $5,160. A full golf
membership at PGA WEST currently requires a $55,000 deposit, which is fully
refundable in thirty years (or sooner under certain circumstances), and annual
golf dues of $5,940.
On May 16, 1997, KSL Desert Resorts, Inc., the subsidiary of the Company
which owned Desert Resorts, was merged into its then parent, KSL Landmark
Corporation. Concurrently, the name of KSL Landmark Corporation was changed to
KSL Desert Resorts, Inc., now a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
On October 31, 1997, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Parent, KSL
3
Travel, Inc., KSL Vacation Resorts, Inc. and Wild West Desert Properties, Inc.,
became wholly owned subsidiaries of KSL Desert Resorts, Inc.
DORAL GOLF RESORT AND SPA
Doral is a golf destination resort located approximately fifteen miles from
downtown Miami, Florida and approximately ten miles from Miami International
Airport. Since the acquisition of Doral in 1993, the Company has invested
significant capital in an overall property renovation, has initiated measures
designed to enhance and expand the revenue base, and has introduced significant
operating efficiencies.
Doral includes 646 hotel rooms, approximately 75,000 square feet of
conference space, five championship 18-hole golf courses including the recently
restored "Blue Monster" golf course, the home of the Doral-Ryder Open, and the
Gold Course which was recently rebuilt under the direction of golf professional
and designer Raymond Floyd, a 9-hole executive golf course, Jim McLean's golf
instruction program, the Arthur Ashe Tennis Center, featuring fifteen courts,
one swimming pool, three restaurants and a private club. One of Doral's five
championship golf courses, the Silver Course, was acquired by the Company on
October 31, 1997.
Facilities at Doral also include the Spa at Doral, which includes 48 guest
suites, approximately 85,000 square feet of fitness and spa facilities, 25
massage rooms, seven facial rooms, three swimming pools, two saunas and two
restaurants. The Spa at Doral offers a variety of services, including personal
fitness training, massage therapy, health and beauty amenities, stress reduction
and nutrition training.
Members of Doral's private club are provided use of the resort's golf,
tennis and fitness facilities, golf and tennis instruction, special events,
dining and social activities. A full golf membership at Doral currently
requires a $15,000 deposit which is fully refundable in thirty years (or sooner
under certain circumstances), and annual dues of approximately $3,720.
LAKE LANIER ISLANDS
On August 1, 1997, the Company entered into the fifty year sublease of Lake
Lanier Islands, a resort recreation area of approximately 1,041 acres. Lake
Lanier Islands is a regional destination resort and recreational complex located
approximately 45 miles from downtown Atlanta. It is situated on Lake Lanier, an
approximately 38,000 acre lake with approximately 520 miles of shoreline and
numerous lakeside primary and secondary homes.
Lake Lanier Islands features a 224-room hotel, 12,500 square feet of
conference space, three retail outlets, two restaurants, a swimming pool, a golf
course, three tennis courts and several daily ticketed attractions, including
extensive beach and water park facilities, houseboat and fishing boat rental
operations, riding stables, campgrounds, pavilions, an amphitheater, group and
social outings and front gate admissions.
GRAND TRAVERSE
On August 11, 1997, the Company acquired Grand Traverse and related golf
and recreational facilities. Grand Traverse is a regional destination resort
located in the northwest portion of the lower peninsula of Michigan, which
covers approximately 1,370 acres, and features a 425-room hotel, approximately
55,000 square feet of conference space, two championship 18-hole golf courses,
nine tennis courts, four racquetball courts, three swimming pools, three
restaurants, approximately 73,000 square feet of fitness facilities,
approximately 23,000 square feet of retail space and a private club operation.
One of Grand Traverse's two courses, "The Bear," was designed by golf
professional and designer Jack Nicklaus. The Company is also in the process of
constructing a third championship 18-hole golf course, which is being designed
by professional golfer and golf course designer Gary Player. Grand Traverse also
operates a condominium leasing program comprised of approximately 230 rental
units.
Grand Traverse's private club operation also provides golf, tennis and
fitness facilities, sports instruction, special events, dining and social
activities to its members. A full golf membership at Grand Traverse currently
requires a $12,500 deposit which is fully refundable in thirty years (or sooner
under certain circumstances), and annual golf dues of approximately $1,500.
FAIRWAYS
Fairways is based in Manassas, Virginia and operates 22 golf course
properties (21 of which are owned and one of which is leased) located in
numerous markets in the Eastern and Midwestern United States. These properties
include sixteen 18-hole golf courses, three 27-hole golf courses and three
36-hole golf courses, comprising private, semi-private, and daily fee golf
operations.
4
At the time it was acquired by the Company in July 1993, Fairways owned and
operated eleven golf course properties, one of which was subsequently sold.
Since July 1993, Fairways has acquired twelve additional golf course properties.
Of Fairway's 22 properties, five are private clubs, twelve are semi-private
clubs and five are public (or daily fee) facilities. The Company's operating
strategy for Fairways has been to form "clusters" of courses within geographic
areas in order to create economies of scale in management and purchasing and to
promote reciprocity among clubs for the members within these clusters.
Approximately 938,000 rounds were played at all Fairways courses in
fiscal 1997, of which members played approximately 393,000 rounds and
non-members played approximately 545,000 rounds. Individual golf dues range
from $900 to $5,700 annually.
MARKETING PROGRAMS
The Company attempts to position Desert Resorts, Doral and Grand Traverse
at the premium end of the specific markets in which they compete. Lake Lanier
Islands is currently being positioned as an amenity oriented, regional resort
setting for corporate and other groups seeking alternatives to city-based
conference centers, as well as "Atlanta's Playground" for daily attractions and
special events. Fairways positions itself as "America's Leader in Quality,
Affordable Golf".
To effectively position its operations, the Company's operating
subsidiaries use a number of marketing strategies and marketing channels. The
marketing function is largely decentralized to allow managers who are most
familiar with the guest or member population and with the specific property to
play an active role in developing the appropriate marketing strategy. The
Company uses a combination of print media, direct mail, telemarketing, local and
national public relations and, in the case of televised golf tournaments,
television, to develop market awareness, to create a property's image and to
market golf, lodging, memberships, food and beverage and special events to
targeted consumers. Although specific marketing activities are largely
decentralized, the Company's corporate office develops and implements national
marketing and promotional programs, controls trademarks and trademark licensing
agreements, engages public relations firms and advertising agencies, coordinates
communications with media sources, develops video materials, interactive CDs and
internet web sites, and develops and manages televised golf tournaments.
CUSTOMERS
The Company's operations attract a broad range of customers. The customers
typically include frequent independent travelers (FIT), corporate and other
group participants as well as active users of recreational services. At Desert
Resorts and Doral, the customers are drawn from an international, national and
regional customer base and often exhibit the higher spending patterns of
affluent corporate and leisure travelers. Desert Resorts' private clubs attract
members and non-member guests on a national scale, with higher concentrations of
customers from southern California. The private club at Doral typically attracts
local corporate and individual golf and fitness enthusiasts.
Lake Lanier Islands draws customers from Georgia and the southeastern
United States. The hotel operations at Lake Lanier Islands draw significant
numbers of both corporate and other group participants and FIT guests. Lake
Lanier Islands' other facilities attract a mix of customers with a wide array of
interests, including active golfers and daily attraction users, such as boaters
and water park attendees.
Grand Traverse draws customers largely from Michigan and the Midwest. Its
customers include affluent FIT and corporate guests. Grand Traverse's private
club typically attracts local fitness and golf enthusiasts.
Fairways' golf facilities attract members and daily fee golf participants
from the community in which the applicable facility is located. Its golf club
customers include families and individual golf enthusiasts from a broad range of
socioeconomic backgrounds.
CERTAIN FACTORS AFFECTING RESORTS AND GOLF COURSES
Turf grass conditions must be satisfactory to attract play on the Company's
golf courses. Severe weather or other factors, including grass diseases or
pestilence, could cause unexpected problems with turf grass conditions at any
golf course or at courses located within the same geographic area. Turf grass
conditions at each of the Company's golf courses also depend to a large extent
on the quality and quantity of available water. The availability of sufficient
water is affected by various factors, many of which are not within the Company's
control. While the Company believes that it currently has sufficient access to
water to operate its golf course in the manner in which they are currently
operated, there can be no assurance that certain conditions, including weather,
governmental regulation or environmental concerns, will not materially adversely
affect the supply of water to a particular golf course or courses in the future.
The Company currently operates golf courses in nine states which may
experience natural conditions which are beyond its control (such as periods of
extraordinarily dry, wet, hot and cold weather, or unforeseen natural events
such as hurricanes, fires, floods,
5
severe storms, tornadoes or earthquakes). These conditions may occur at any time
and may have a significant impact on the condition and availability of one or
more golf courses for play and on the number of customers a golf course can
attract.
CERTAIN UNINSURED RISKS
The Company currently carries comprehensive liability, fire, flood (for
certain courses) and extended coverage insurance with respect to its resorts and
all of the golf courses owned or leased by it, with policy specifications and
insured limits and deductibles customarily carried for similar properties. There
are, however, certain types of losses (such as those losses incurred as a result
of earthquakes, which are of particular concern with respect to Desert Resorts,
or hurricanes, which are of particular concern with respect to the Company's
Florida properties) which may be either uninsurable, only partially insurable or
not economically insurable. As a result, in the event of such a loss, the
Company could lose all or a significant portion of both its capital invested in,
and anticipated profits from, one or more of the Company's resorts and/or golf
courses.
FACTORS AFFECTING RESORT VISITORS AND GOLF PARTICIPATION
The success of efforts to attract visitors to resorts is dependent upon
discretionary spending by consumers, which may be adversely affected by general
and regional economic conditions. In the case of the Company's resorts, the
regional economies of southern California, South Florida, and the states of
Michigan and Georgia are significant to its operations, although Desert Resorts
and Doral attract customers from throughout the United States and abroad. A
decrease in tourism or in consumer spending on travel and/or recreation could
have an adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
The success of efforts to attract and retain members at a private or
semi-private club and the number of rounds played at a public golf course are
also dependent upon discretionary spending by consumers, which may be adversely
affected by general and regional economic conditions. In the case of Fairways
golf operations, the regional economies of Florida, Wisconsin and the
Mid-Atlantic United States are particularly important. A decrease in the number
of golfers or their rates of participation or in consumer spending on golf could
have an adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
COMPETITION
The recreation industry is highly competitive. The Company's resorts
compete with other golf and recreation-based resorts. These include premier
independent resorts as well as national hotel chains. In addition, the Company's
resorts compete with other recreational businesses, such as cruise ships and
gaming casinos. The Company believes that it competes based on brand name
recognition, location, room rates and the quality of its services and amenities.
Golf courses compete for players and members with other golf courses
located in the same geographic areas. The Company's golf courses compete based
on the overall quality of their facilities (including the quality of its
customer service), the maintenance of their facilities, available amenities,
location and overall value. The number and quality of golf courses in a
particular area could have a material effect on the revenue of any of the
Company's golf courses, which could in turn affect the Company's financial
performance and results of operations. There can be no assurance that continued
construction of competing facilities, or renewed or strong and sustained
interest in existing competing facilities, will not adversely effect the
Company's future financial performance.
The Company competes for the purchase and lease of golf courses with
several national and regional golf course companies. Certain of the Company's
national competitors have larger staffs and more golf courses currently leased,
owned or under management than the Company. In addition, certain national
competitors have greater capital resources than the Company and some of such
competitors may have access to capital at a lower cost than is currently
available to the Company. There can be no assurance that such competition will
not adversely affect the Company's results of operations or ability to maintain
or increase sales and market share.
SEASONALITY
The operations of the Company are seasonal. Primarily due to the popularity
of Desert Resorts and Doral during the winter and early spring months, a
significant percentage of the Company's revenues and operating income are
recognized in the first two quarters of the fiscal year. Lake Lanier Islands,
Grand Traverse and Fairways offset a portion of the seasonality associated with
Desert Resorts and Doral because they generate a significant percentage of their
revenue and operating income during the summer months which are recognized in
the last two quarters of the fiscal year.
LICENSES AND TRADEMARKS
The Company is a party to the Professional Golfers' Association License
Agreement ("PGA License Agreement") pursuant to which it is permitted and
licensed to use the PGA WEST name and logos in sales, promotion, advertising,
development and/or operations
6
of certain property located in the city of La Quinta, California, known as "PGA
WEST" (the "PGA WEST Property"). The PGA License Agreement provides the Company
with (i) the exclusive rights in the United States to the name "PGA WEST" in
connection with the PGA WEST Property and (ii) the exclusive rights in the
states of California and Arizona to the names "PGA" and "PGA of America" in
connection with the PGA WEST Property. The term of the PGA License Agreement
extends through the later of (i) the date on which all of the residential units
located on the PGA WEST Property have been sold and (ii) the date on which the
Company ceases to use the name "PGA WEST" in the name of golf clubs, golf
courses, hotels and/or any other commercial, office or residential developments
then located on the PGA WEST Property. The Company believes that the PGA WEST
logo is an important aspect of the Company's business because of the prestige
associated with the Professional Golfers' Association. The PGA License Agreement
provides for royalty payments on an annual basis through 2005, although the
exact amount of any royalty payments with respect to the PGA mark will be
determined by reference to the number and sales of residential units by KSL Land
Corporation, an affiliate of the Company engaged in the real estate development
business ("KSL Land").
KSL Land has in the past made all royalty payments attributable to its land
sales and is expected to continue to do so in the future; however, KSL Land has
not agreed in writing to do so, is not controlled by the Company and no
assurance can be given that KSL Land will pay any future royalty owing under the
PGA License Agreement. Failure to comply with the terms of the PGA License
Agreement, including any failure to pay royalties arising out of land sales by
KSL Land, could result in the payment of monetary damages by the Company. Such
occurrence could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company is also a licensee under a license agreement with the PGA TOUR.
The PGA TOUR license agreement provides the Company with the exclusive rights to
use the names "PGA TOUR" and "TPC" in connection with the sales, promotion,
marketing and operation of PGA WEST. The PGA TOUR agreement is expected to
terminate no earlier than January 1, 2006.
The Company owns the "Blue Monster" name and has obtained from Carol
Management Corporation ("Carol Management"), the former owner of Doral Golf
Resort and Spa, an irrevocable, perpetual license for the "Doral" name in
connection with the Company's operation, marketing and promotion of the
facilities located at Doral. In addition, Carol Management is prohibited from
licensing the "Doral" mark for any purpose anywhere in southern Florida, but
retains the right to license the Doral mark elsewhere. Although failure by the
Company to comply with the terms of the Doral license agreement could result in
monetary damages, Carol Management does not have the right to terminate the
Doral license agreement in the event of a breach by the Company.
EMPLOYEES
For the year ended October 31, 1997, the Company employed approximately
6,000 persons during its peak seasons and approximately 3,900 persons during its
off-peak seasons. In addition, Parent employs approximately 31 persons who
render services in connection with the Company's operations at its corporate
headquarters. The Company believes that its employee relations are good.
Although none of the Company's employees is currently represented by a labor
union, certain union representatives have recently sought unsuccessfully to
organize certain of the Company's employees at Desert Resorts and Doral.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Operations at the Company's resort and community
golf courses involve the use and storage of various hazardous materials such as
herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, batteries, solvents, motor oil and
gasoline. Such laws often impose liability regardless of whether a property
owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release of hazardous
materials. In addition, the failure to remediate contamination at a property may
adversely affect the ability of a property owner to sell such real estate or to
pledge such property as collateral for a loan. The Company believes that it is
in compliance in all material respects with applicable federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations.
GENERAL. The Company is subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act and various
state laws governing such matters as minimum wage requirements, overtime and
other working conditions and citizenship requirements. Some of the Company's
resort and golf course employees receive the federal minimum wage and any
increase in the federal minimum wage would increase the Company's labor costs.
In addition, the Company is subject to certain state "dram-shop" laws, which
provide a person injured by an intoxicated individual the right to recover
damages from an establishment that wrongfully served alcoholic beverages to the
intoxicated individual. The Company is also subject to the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Equal Employment Opportunity Act. The Company
believes it is operating in substantial compliance with applicable laws and
regulations governing its operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE
COMPANY'S HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO
INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS DOCUMENT. DOLLAR AMOUNTS INCLUDED IN THIS SECTION
ARE IN THOUSANDS.
The Company generates revenues at Desert Resorts, Doral and Grand Traverse
from room revenues, greens fees, food and beverage sales and, to a lesser
extent, membership dues and merchandise (pro shop and retail) sales. At
Fairways, revenues are generated through non-refundable initiation fees,
membership dues, greens fees, golf cart rentals, merchandise (pro shop) sales
and food and beverage sales. Rooms revenue, water park revenues, food and
beverage sales and to a lesser extent, golf fees, merchandise sales, and
admission fees drive revenues at Lake Lanier Islands.
Revenues at Desert Resorts, Doral and Grand Traverse do not include Net
Membership Deposits, which are defined as the amount of refundable membership
deposits paid by new and upgraded resort club members and by existing members
who have converted to new membership plans, in each case in cash, plus principal
payments in cash received on notes in respect thereof, minus the amount of any
refunds paid in cash with respect to such deposits. These membership deposits
are fully refundable in thirty years (or sooner under certain circumstances). In
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company
accounts for membership deposits as "cash provided from financing activities" in
its statement of cash flows and reports a liability in its balance sheet equal
to the amount of such membership deposits.
In addition to statement of operation data in accordance with GAAP, this
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" includes a discussion of the Company's Adjusted EBITDA, which is
defined as net income before income tax expense (benefit), net interest expense,
depreciation and amortization, loss on sale of golf facility, extraordinary
items and other non-cash items, plus Adjusted Net Membership Deposits. Adjusted
Net Membership Deposits is defined as Net Membership Deposits, excluding in
fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1995, $23,900 and $6,100, respectively, of Net Membership
Deposits which, because these amounts were paid by existing resort club members
in connection with the initial conversion of such members to new membership
plans at Desert Resorts, were non-recurring in nature. In fiscal 1994 and 1995,
Desert Resorts introduced new membership programs at the PGA WEST and La Quinta
private clubs, respectively. These new programs, which provide for the payment
of a fully refundable (in thirty years, or sooner under certain circumstances)
membership deposit to join one or both of the clubs were offered, on an optional
basis, to then existing members of each of the two private clubs. Accordingly,
existing members who chose to convert to the new membership program paid a new
membership deposit. Information regarding Adjusted EBITDA has been provided
because the Company believes that it assists in understanding the Company's
operating results. The Company views cash flow from membership sales as an
important component of operating cash flow measure as membership sales are
recurring in nature as the club builds its membership and replaces the natural
turnover. Also, the significant payroll and operating expenses necessary to
create, sell and maintain a private club operation are treated as ongoing
expenses in the Company's Statement of Operations and therefore recognizing the
cash flow from sales is an appropriate match in determining the overall
performance of the club operation. It is important to note that the membership
cash flow included in Adjusted EBITDA is only the cash amount collected net of
financed sales and refunds. From the Company's perspective, EBITDA and net
membership cash flow together as Adjusted EBITDA provide the most accurate
measure of the recurring cash flow performance of the operations. As
structured, these private club membership sales are not treated as revenue for
GAAP purposes and therefore do not appear in the Company's Statement of
Operations, but are reflected in the Company's Statement of Cash Flows.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indicator of the Company's
operating performance or as an alternative to operating income as determined in
accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed by
investors as a measure of the Company's liquidity or ability to meet all cash
needs or as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing and financing
activities as determined in accordance with GAAP, nor should Adjusted EBITDA be
construed by investors as an alternative to any other determination under GAAP.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31,
1996
REVENUES. Revenues increased by $43,821, or 24%, from $182,249 in fiscal
1996 to $226,070 in fiscal 1997. This increase reflected increases in revenues
at each of the Company's existing operating units and the partial year addition
of two operating units in Lake Lanier Islands and Grand Traverse.
DESERT RESORTS. Revenues at Desert Resorts increased by $12,857, or 16%,
from $79,258 in fiscal 1996 to $92,115 in fiscal 1997. This increase was
primarily attributable to (i) an increase in room revenue of $3,236, or
14%, from $23,225 in fiscal 1996 to $26,461 in fiscal 1997 (ii) an increase
in food and beverage sales of $3,280, or 18%, from $17,984 in fiscal 1996
to $21,264 in fiscal 1997 and (iii) an increase in golf fees and dues of
$2,679, or 12%, from $22,242 in fiscal 1996 to $24,921 in fiscal 1997. The
increase in room revenues was attributable to an increase in occupancy. The
increased occupancy reflected the successful booking of more group and
corporate business supported by a new ballroom and related facilities,
which were completed in April 1996. The increases in food and beverage
sales and golf fees and dues were primarily attributable to the increases
in occupancy rate and the addition of a private golf course completed in
January 1996.
DORAL. Revenues at Doral increased by $13,815, or 24%, from $57,343 in
fiscal 1996 to $71,158 in fiscal 1997. During fiscal 1997, (i) room
revenues increased by $4,853, or 22%, from $22,117 in fiscal 1996 to
$26,970 in fiscal 1997, (ii) food and beverage sales increased by $2,736,
or 16%, from $17,049 in fiscal 1996 to $19,785 in fiscal 1997, (iii) golf
fees and dues increased by $3,242, or 46%, from $7,084 in fiscal 1996 to
$10,326 in fiscal 1997 and (iv) spa revenues increased by $932, or 30%,
from $3,112 in fiscal 1996 to $4,044 in fiscal 1997. The increase in room
revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in occupancy. The
increases in golf fees and dues and food and beverage sales were primarily
attributable to the increase in occupancy rate and, in the case of golf
fees and dues, the completion of the rebuilding of the Gold Course, the
"Blue Monster" course, and expanded sales and marketing programs.
FAIRWAYS. Revenues at Fairways increased by $221, or less than 1%, from
$44,766 in fiscal 1996 to $44,987 in fiscal 1997. This increase was
primarily attributable to (i) an increase in golf fees and dues of
$1,412, or 5%, from $29,594 in fiscal 1996 to $31,006 in fiscal 1997,
which was (ii) offset in part by a decrease in food and beverage sales
of $429, or 5%, from $9,305 in fiscal 1996 to $8,876 in fiscal 1997. The
increases in golf fees and dues were primarily attributable to the
acquisition of four golf facilities in fiscal 1996.
LAKE LANIER ISLANDS. Revenues at Lake Lanier Islands increased by $8,024.
In fiscal 1997, total revenues were $8,905 consisting primarily of
management fees of $1,440 received from November 1, 1996 to the closing of
the sublease at August 1, 1997, food and beverage revenue of $1,914, water
park revenue of $1,160, room revenue of $1,680, and other revenue of $2,711
for the period August 1, 1997 to October 31, 1997.
GRAND TRAVERSE. Revenues at Grand Traverse were $8,904 from August 11,
1997 (acquisition date) to October 31, 1997, consisting of rooms revenue of
$4,100, food and beverage revenue of $2,760 and other revenues of $2,044.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses increased by $26,175, or 16%, from
$167,057 in fiscal 1996 to $193,232 in fiscal 1997. Operating expenses,
excluding depreciation and amortization, increased by $22,309, or 16%, from
$143,258 in fiscal 1996 to $165,567 in fiscal 1997, primarily as a result of
increased activity resulting from the opening of new facilities, the addition of
Grand Traverse and Lake Lanier Islands, and higher occupancy rates at the
Company's resorts. The primary components of the increase were (i) an increase
in payroll and benefits of $8,896, or 14%, from $63,039 in fiscal 1996 to
$71,935 in fiscal 1997, reflecting increases in staff and changes in incentive
programs, (ii) an increase in other expenses of $11,506, or 15%, from $77,020 in
fiscal 1996 to $88,526 in fiscal 1997, and (iii) an increase in corporate fees
of $1,907, or 60%, from $3,199 in fiscal 1996 to $5,106 in fiscal 1997. As a
percentage of revenues, operating expenses, excluding depreciation and
amortization, declined from 79% of revenues in fiscal 1996 to 73% of revenues in
fiscal 1997. Depreciation and amortization increased by $3,866, or 16%, from
$23,799 in fiscal 1996 to $27,655 in fiscal 1997. This increase was primarily
attributable to the completion of capital improvements at Desert Resorts and
Doral in fiscal 1996 and the addition of Grand Traverse and Lake Lanier Islands.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased by $17,646, or 116%, from
$15,192 in fiscal 1996 to $32,838 in fiscal 1997 as a result of the factors
discussed above.
NET INTEREST EXPENSE. Net interest expense increased by $2,326, or 8%,
from $27,711 in fiscal 1996 to $30,037 in fiscal 1997. This increase was
primarily attributable to (i) increased indebtedness of the Company and (ii)
increased amortization of capitalized finance costs, partially offset by
interest income received on a note receivable from an affiliate.
12
EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS. The Company incurred an extraordinary loss, net of
income tax benefits, on the early extinguishment of indebtedness of $3,164, in
fiscal 1997. In fiscal 1996, the Company incurred an extraordinary gain, net of
income tax, on the early extinguishment of indebtedness of $32,120.
NET INCOME. Net income decreased by $20,104 from $19,741 in fiscal 1996 to
a net loss of $363 in fiscal 1997 as a result of the factors described above.
Excluding extraordinary items, net loss would have decreased by $15,180, or
123%, from a net loss of $12,379 in fiscal 1996 to a net income of $2,801 in
fiscal 1997.
ADJUSTED EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $25,207, or 57%, from
$44,313 in fiscal 1996 to $69,520 in fiscal 1997. This increase was primarily
attributable to the factors described above and an increase in Adjusted Net
Membership Deposits of $3,920 from $4,391 in fiscal 1996 to $8,311 in fiscal
1997.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31,
1995
REVENUES. Revenues increased by $22,983, or 14%, from $159,266 in fiscal
1995 to $182,249 in fiscal 1996. This increase reflected increases in revenues
at each of the Company's operating units.
DESERT RESORTS. Revenues at Desert Resorts increased by $4,425, or 6%,
from $74,833 in fiscal 1995 to $79,258 in fiscal 1996. This increase was
primarily attributable to (i) an increase in room revenue of $2,141, or
10%, from $21,084 in fiscal 1995 to $23,225 in fiscal 1996, (ii) an
increase in food and beverage sales of $736, or 4%, from $17,248 in fiscal
1995 to $17,984 in fiscal 1996 and (iii) an increase in golf fees and dues
of $523, or 2%, from $21,719 in fiscal 1995 to $22,242 in fiscal 1996. The
increase in room revenues was attributable to an increase in occupancy. The
increases in food and beverage sales and golf fees and dues were primarily
attributable to the increases in occupancy rate.
DORAL. Revenues at Doral increased by $12,044, or 27%, from $45,299 in
fiscal 1995 to $57,343 in fiscal 1996. This increase was primarily
attributable to (i) the completion of the room renovation program in
October 1995, which resulted in lower occupancy rates throughout fiscal
1995, and (ii) the completion of the rebuilding of the Gold Course in
January 1996, which resulted in lower golf revenues from May 1995 to
January 1996. During fiscal 1996, (i) room revenues increased by $5,753, or
35%, from $16,364 in fiscal 1995 to $22,117 in fiscal 1996, (ii) food and
beverage sales increased by $4,072, or 31%, from $12,977 in fiscal 1995 to
$17,049 in fiscal 1996, (iii) golf fees and dues increased by $192, or 3%,
from $6,892 in fiscal 1995 to $7,084 in fiscal 1996 and (iv) spa revenues
increased by $351, or 13% from $2,761 in fiscal 1995 to $3,112 in fiscal
1996. The increase in room revenues was primarily attributable to an
increase in occupancy. The increases in golf fees and dues and food and
beverage sales were primarily attributable to the increase in occupancy
rate and, in the case of golf fees and dues, the completion of the
rebuilding of the Gold Course as discussed above, offset in part by lower
revenues as a result of the restoration of the "Blue Monster" from April
1996 to December 1996.
FAIRWAYS. Revenues at Fairways increased by $5,632, or 14%, from $39,134
in fiscal 1995 to $44,766 in fiscal 1996. This increase was primarily
attributable to (i) an increase in golf fees and dues of $5,229, or 21%,
from $24,365 in fiscal 1995 to $29,594 in fiscal 1996 and (ii) an increase
in food and beverage sales of $633, or 7%, from $8,672 in fiscal 1995 to
$9,305 in fiscal 1996. The increases in golf fees and dues and food and
beverage sales were primarily attributable to the acquisition of four golf
facilities in fiscal 1996.
LAKE LANIER ISLANDS. Revenues at Lake Lanier Islands were $881 for fiscal
1996, consisting of management fees from May 15, 1996 to October 31, 1996.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses increased by $12,594, or 8%, from
$154,463 in fiscal 1995 to $167,057 in fiscal 1996. Operating expenses,
excluding depreciation and amortization, increased by $9,135, or 7%, from
$134,123 in fiscal 1995 to $143,258 in fiscal 1996, primarily as a result of
increased activity resulting from higher occupancy rates at the Company's
resorts and the acquisition of four golf facilities at Fairways in fiscal 1996.
The primary components of the increase were (i) an increase in payroll and
benefits of $2,042, or 3%, from $60,997 in fiscal 1995 to $63,039 in fiscal
1996, reflecting increases in staff and changes in incentive programs and
(ii) an increase in other expenses of $4,644, or 6%, from $72,376 in fiscal 1995
to $77,020 in fiscal 1996, (iii) an increase in corporate fees of $2,449 or 326%
from $750 in fiscal 1995 to $3,199 in fiscal 1996. As a percentage of revenues,
operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, declined from 84%
of revenues in fiscal 1995 to 79% of revenues in fiscal 1996. Depreciation and
amortization increased by $3,459, or 17%, from $20,340 in fiscal 1995 to $23,799
in fiscal 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to the completion of
capital improvements at Desert Resorts and Doral in fiscal 1996.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased by $10,389, or 216 %, from
$4,803 in fiscal 1995 to $15,192 in fiscal 1996 as a result of the factors
discussed above.
13
NET INTEREST EXPENSE. Net interest expense increased by $9,219, or 50%,
from $18,492 in fiscal 1995 to $27,711 in fiscal 1996. This increase was
primarily attributable to (i) the refinancing of indebtedness at Desert Resorts
at higher rates than the original financing and (ii) additional indebtedness
incurred at Fairways to fund the acquisition of three golf facilities in fiscal
1995 and four golf facilities in fiscal 1996, partially offset by higher
interest income due to higher cash balances and interest received on a note
receivable from an affiliate.
LOSS ON SALE OF GOLF FACILITY AND EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS. The Company
incurred an extraordinary gain, net of income taxes, on the early extinguishment
of indebtedness of $32,120, in fiscal 1996. In fiscal 1995, the Company incurred
a loss of $2,684 in connection with the sale of a golf facility at Fairways.
NET INCOME. Net income increased by $35,913 from a net loss of $16,172 in
fiscal 1995 to net income of $19,741 in fiscal 1996 as a result of the factors
described above. Excluding the effect of the loss on sale of golf facility and
extraordinary items, net loss would have decreased by $1,109, or 8%, from
$13,488 in fiscal 1995 to $12,379 in fiscal 1996.
ADJUSTED EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $17,850, or 68%, from
$26,463 in fiscal 1995 to $44,313 in fiscal 1996. This increase was primarily
attributable to the factors described above and an increase in Adjusted Net
Membership Deposits of $4,157 from $234 in fiscal 1995 to $4,391 in fiscal 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically, the Company has funded its capital and operating requirements
with a combination of operating cash flow, borrowings under the credit
facilities of its operating subsidiaries and equity investments from
partnerships formed at the direction of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., L.P.
(KKR). The Company has utilized these sources of funds to make acquisitions, to
fund significant capital expenditures at its properties, to fund operations and
to service debt under the credit facilities of its operating subsidiaries. The
Company presently expects to fund its future capital and operating requirements
at its existing operations through a combination of borrowings under the credit
facility and cash generated from operations.
During fiscal 1997, cash flow provided by operating activities was
$100,104, compared to $15,218 for fiscal 1996. This increase was primarily due
to (i) the settlement of receivables due from Parent and its affiliates of
$46,446, (ii) the release of restricted cash to operating cash of $9,499 due to
the credit facility, (iii) the release of $2,411 in restricted cash due to the
execution of the Lake Lanier Islands sublease, (iv) an increase in accrued
interest payable of $7,435, and (v) a decrease in trade receivables of $4,027.
The positive impact on cash from the settlement of these receivables was offset
by the cash used in financing activities to provide a dividend and a net return
of capital to Parent of $51,655. During fiscal 1997, cash flow used in investing
activities was $87,276, compared to $12,755 for fiscal 1996. This change was
primarily attributable to the investment in Lake Lanier Islands, Grand Traverse
and the Silver Course for Doral of $58,575; the repayment to the Company of a
$23,065 note by an affiliate in fiscal 1996, as compared to the issuance of a
new $21,653 note by the Company to an affiliate in fiscal 1997, and was offset
by a decline in capital expenditures of $8,945, and a decline in acquisition of
golf course facilities of $15,274 in fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996.
During fiscal 1996, cash flow provided by operating activities was $15,218,
compared to cash flow used in operating activities of $6,860 for fiscal 1995.
This change was primarily attributable to (i) the reduction of a receivable owed
by Parent in 1996, (ii) the increase in revenues during fiscal 1996 and
(iii) improved management of working capital, offset in part by advances by the
Company to KSL Land. During fiscal 1996, cash flow used in investing activities
was $12,755, compared to $48,661 for fiscal 1995. This decrease was primarily
attributable to a reduction in capital expenditures of $28,392 in fiscal 1996
compared to fiscal 1995 and the repayment to the Company of a $23,065 note by an
affiliate in fiscal 1996, offset by an increase of $5,112 in fiscal 1996 of
funds used to acquire golf courses.
From the beginning of fiscal 1994 to the end of fiscal 1996, the Company
spent approximately $33,500 at Desert Resorts to, among other things: (i) build
a new 24,000 square foot addition to the conference facilities at La Quinta;
(ii) construct a new championship golf course designed by Tom Weiskopf at PGA
WEST and renovate the Mountain Course at La Quinta; and (iii) build a new 28,000
square foot members' clubhouse at the Citrus Course at La Quinta. These
expenditures were funded primarily through operating cash flow.
From the beginning of fiscal 1994 to the end of fiscal 1996, the Company
spent approximately $33,000 at Doral to, among other things: (i) renovate all
646 guest rooms and refurbish all 48 spa guest suites at the resort; (ii)
renovate the 75,000 square feet of conference facilities and most of the
public reception areas; and (iii) restore the famed "Blue Monster" Golf
Course and rebuild the Gold Course under the direction of noted professional
golfer and golf course designer Raymond Floyd. These expenditures were funded
primarily through additional capital contributions from Parent.
14
In connection with the Lake Lanier Islands sublease, the Parent contributed
$9,000 in cash to the Company to fund the purchase of certain equipment and
other assets used in the operation of the Lake Lanier Islands facilities that
were not leased pursuant to the sublease. In addition, the terms of the sublease
will require the Company to spend $5,000 for capital improvements at Lake Lanier
Islands over the first five years of the sublease.
In April 1997, the Company sold $125,000 of senior subordinated redeemable
notes (the Notes) and entered into a new credit facility providing for term
loans of up to $100,000 and a revolving credit line of up to $175,000. The Notes
are redeemable beginning May 2002 at the Company's option at various rates
ranging from 105.125% at May 2002, decreasing to 100% at May 2005 and
thereafter. The Company is required to offer to buy the Notes at 101% upon a
change of control, as defined in the Notes agreement. Maximum borrowing under
the revolving credit line decrease from a maximum of $175,000 to $163,750 in
May 2000, $152,500 in May 2001, $137,500 in May 2002 and $118,750 in May 2003.
The proceeds from the Notes, together with $100,000 of term loans under the
new credit facility and a $75,000 drawing under the revolving credit portion of
the new credit facility (collectively, the Refinancings) were used on April 30,
1997, (i) to repay approximately $265,000 of outstanding indebtedness of the
Company, (ii) to make a loan of approximately $20,800 to KSL Land, which was
used to repay indebtedness of KSL Land with respect to which a subsidiary of the
Company was a co-obligor, (iii) to pay prepayment penalties and fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the Refinancings and (iv) for general
corporate purposes. The stock of certain subsidiaries has been pledged to
collateralize the new credit facility. Prior to the Refinancings, long-term debt
was collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company.
The Company is continually engaged in evaluating potential acquisition
candidates to add to its portfolio of properties at both its resort and
community golf businesses. In December, 1997, the Company entered into an
agreement to purchase the assets of Silver Spring Country Club, a 36-hole golf
facility in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin for approximately $9,000. This
acquisition will be financed under the revolving credit portion of the Company's
credit facility. The Company expects that funding for future acquisitions may
come from a variety of sources, depending on the size and nature of any such
acquisitions. Potential sources of capital include cash generated from
operations, borrowings under the credit facility, additional equity investments
from Parent or partnerships formed at the direction of KKR or other external
debt or equity financings. There can be no assurance that such additional
capital sources will be available to the Company on terms which the Company
finds acceptable, or be available at all.
The Company believes that its liquidity, capital resources and cash flows
from existing operations will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures,
working capital requirements and interest and principal payments on its
indebtedness for the foreseeable future. However, a variety of factors could
impact the Company's ability to fund capital expenditures, working capital
requirements and interest and principal payments, including a prolonged or
severe economic recession in the United States, departures from currently
expected demographic trends (for example, if the total number of golf rounds
played and golf spending are not as great as currently anticipated) or the
Company's inability to achieve operating improvements at existing and acquired
operations at currently expected levels. Moreover, the Company currently expects
that it will acquire additional resorts, golf facilities or other recreational
facilities, and in connection therewith, expects to incur additional
indebtedness. In the event that the Company incurs such additional indebtedness,
its ability to make principal and interest payments on its indebtedness,
including the Notes, may be adversely impacted.
SEASONALITY AND INFLATION
The operations of the Company are seasonal. Primarily due to the popularity
of Desert Resorts and Doral during the winter and early spring months, a
significant percentage of the Company's revenues and operating income are
recognized in the first two quarters of the fiscal year. Lake Lanier Islands,
Grand Traverse and Fairways offset a portion of the seasonality associated with
Desert Resorts and Doral because they generate a significant percentage of their
revenue and operating income during the summer months which are recognized in
the last two quarters of the fiscal year.
The Company believes that inflation does not materially impact its business
operations.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In fiscal 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of." The effects of adopting SFAS No. 121 were not material in
relation to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 128, "Earnings per Share" which changes the previous standards for computing
earnings per share and requires the disclosure of basic and diluted earnings per
share. For the year ended October 31, 1997, the amount reported as net income
per common share was not materially different than that which would have been
reported for basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with SFAS 128.
This statement will be adopted by the Company beginning November 1, 1997.
During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," which established standards for the reporting
and displaying of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is defined as all
changes in a Company's net assets except changes resulting from transactions
with shareholders. It differs from net income in that certain items currently
recorded to equity would be a part of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income
must be reported in a financial statement with the cumulative total presented as
a component of equity. This statement will be adopted by the Company beginning
November 1, 1998.
During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which
will be effective for the Company beginning November 1, 1998. SFAS No. 131
redefines how operating segments are determined and requires disclosure of
certain financial and descriptive information about a company's operating
segments. The Company believes the segment information required to be disclosed
under SFAS No. 131 will be more comprehensive than previously provided,
including expanded disclosure of income statement and balance sheet items. The
Company has not yet completed its analysis of the operating segments on which it
will report.
OTHER MATTERS
The Company relies heavily on computer technology to effectively carry out
its day-to-day operations. As the millennium approaches, the Company is
assessing all of its computer systems to ensure that they are "Year
2000"-compliant. In this process, the Company expects to both replace some
systems and upgrade others which are not Year 2000-compliant. The Company
expects its Year 2000 project to be completed on a timely basis. However, there
can be no assurance that the systems of other companies on which the Company may
rely also will be timely converted or that such failure to convert by another
company would not have an adverse effect on the Company's systems. The Company
presently believes, with modification to existing software and converting to new
software, the Year 2000 problem will not pose significant operational problems
and is not anticipated to be material to its financial position or results of
operations in any given year. The Company's stated expectations regarding its
Year 2000 project constitute forward-looking statements. Actual results could
differ materially from the Company's expectations due to unanticipated
technological difficulties or project delays. Reference is made to the
introductory paragraph of this annual report.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
KSL Recreation Group, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of KSL
Recreation Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of October 31, 1997 and
1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder's
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
October 31, 1997. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule
listed in the index at Item 14. These financial statements and financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of KSL
Recreation Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of October 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended October 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken
as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
1. GENERAL
KSL Recreation Group, Inc. (Group), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of KSL
Recreation Corporation (the Parent). Group and its subsidiaries (collectively,
the Company) are engaged in the ownership and management of golf courses,
private clubs, resorts and activities related thereto. At the completion of
certain financing transactions (as described in Note 7) on April 30, 1997, KSL
Desert Resorts, Inc. (previously KSL Landmark Corporation), KSL Florida
Holdings, Inc., KSL Georgia Holdings, Inc. and KSL Golf Holdings, Inc. became
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Group in a transaction accounted for in a manner
similar to a pooling of interests. Prior to April 30, 1997, these subsidiaries
were wholly-owned by the Parent.
On October 31, 1997, certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Parent, KSL
Travel, Inc. (KTI), KSL Vacation Resorts, Inc. (VRI) and Wild West Desert
Properties, Inc. (Wild West), became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Group in a
transaction accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect
this transaction. The effects on income (loss) before extraordinary items, net
income (loss) and related per share amounts were not material.
As of October 31, 1997, the Company has five principal investments:
(1) through KSL Golf Holdings, Inc. (Fairways), a Delaware corporation, the
Company, through an intermediate subsidiary owns an 88.1% majority partnership
interest in The Fairways Group, L.P. (TFG, L.P.) a Delaware limited partnership;
(2) a 100% interest in KSL Florida Holdings, Inc. (Doral), a Delaware
corporation; (3) a 100% interest in KSL Desert Resorts, Inc. (Desert Resorts), a
Delaware corporation, who owns 100% of KTI, VRI and Wild West, (4) a 100%
interest in KSL Georgia Holdings, Inc. (Lake Lanier), a Delaware corporation;
and (5) a 100% interest in KSL Grand Traverse Holdings, Inc. (Grand Traverse), a
Delaware Corporation. TFG L.P. and an affiliate own and operate 22 golf
facilities principally in the mid-Atlantic, southeast and midwestern United
States. Fairways, through a subsidiary, is the managing general partner in TFG
L.P. Doral owns and operates the Doral Golf Resort and Spa in Miami, Florida.
Desert Resorts owns and operates the PGA WEST golf courses, the La Quinta Resort
& Club and related activities in La Quinta, California. Lake Lanier leases and
manages a resort recreation area of approximately 1,041 acres known as Lake
Lanier Islands, outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Grand Traverse owns and operates
the Grand Traverse Resort and related activities outside of Traverse City,
Michigan.
On May 15, 1996, the Company, through a subsidiary, entered into a
management agreement with Lake Lanier Islands Development Authority (LLIDA), a
State of Georgia agency, to manage the facilities at Lake Lanier Islands (a
golf, hotel and recreation complex) which LLIDA leases from the United States
Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps). LLIDA's intent was to privatize the
management and operation of Lake Lanier Islands through a sublease arrangement.
Due to the need for third party consents and approvals, LLIDA and the Company
entered into the management agreement as an interim step to the sublease. At the
closing of the sublease, which occurred in August 1997, the management agreement
provided that LLIDA and the Company would be placed in the same economic
position as if the sublease transaction had closed on May 15, 1996. Accordingly,
the Company was credited with the net earnings (as defined) of the operations
from May 15, 1996 to the closing date less amounts earned by the Company
pursuant to the management agreement. Such net amount paid by the Company was
recognized as an adjustment to the recorded values of the assets leased pursuant
to the sublease. The sublease is accounted for as a capital lease. Accordingly,
in August, 1997, the Company recorded the net assets acquired pursuant to the
sublease and recognized the net present value of the related minimum lease
payments.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION-The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Group and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Investments in 50%-or-less
owned affiliates in which Company management has significant influence are
accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of
accounting, the investment, is carried at cost, adjusted each year for the
appropriate share of investee income or loss and any cash contributions or
distributions. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
CASH EQUIVALENTS-The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
RESTRICTED CASH-Certain cash balances are restricted primarily to uses for
debt service, capital expenditures, real estate taxes, insurance payments and
letters of credit required for construction in progress.
INVENTORIES-Inventories are stated primarily at the lower of cost,
determined on the first-in, first-out method, or market. Base stock consisting
of china, silver, glassware and linens is recorded using the base stock
inventory method.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT-Property and equipment is recorded at cost.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets. Generally, the estimated useful lives are 15
to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 years for furniture,
fixtures and equipment. Improvements are capitalized while maintenance and
repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Assets under capital leases are
amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or
estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation of assets under capital
leases is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS-Management reviews real estate and other long-lived
assets, including certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill, for possible
impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment,
management prepares an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without
interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual
disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset,
an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair
value. The fair value is estimated at the present value of future cash flows
discounted at a rate commensurate with management's estimate of the business
risks. Real estate assets, if any, for which management has committed to a plan
to dispose of the assets, whether by sale or abandonment, are reported at the
lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Preparation of
estimated expected future cash flows is inherently subjective and is based on
management's best estimate of assumptions concerning expected future conditions.
EXCESS OF COST OVER NET ASSETS OF ACQUIRED ENTITIES-The excess of the cost
over the fair value of acquired entities (goodwill) is capitalized and amortized
on a straight-line basis over 15 to 30 years. Amortization expense related to
goodwill was approximately $3,749, $3,616 and $3,462 for fiscal years 1997, 1996
and 1995, respectively. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of
goodwill by comparing the carrying value of goodwill to undiscounted estimated
future cash flows from related operations.
DEBT ISSUE COSTS-Debt issue costs are amortized over the life of the
related debt and the associated amortization expense is included in interest
expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
MEMBER DEPOSITS-Member deposits represent the required deposits for certain
membership plans which entitle the member to the usage of various golf, tennis,
and social facilities and services. Member deposits are refundable, without
interest, in thirty years or sooner, under certain criteria and circumstances.

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
MINORITY INTERESTS IN EQUITY OF SUBSIDIARIES-Minority interests in
equity of subsidiaries represent minority shareholders' proportionate share
of the equity in certain subsidiaries of the Company, principally TFG L.P.
The Company owned approximately 88.1% of TFG L.P. at October 31, 1997 and
1996.
A minority interest partner (the Partner) in TFG L.P. had a partner
deficit balance of approximately $3,322 and $3,065 as of October 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively. The Company has reduced the minority interest allocation
of TFG L.P.'s net loss by the Partner's share of $257, $104 and $361 in
fiscal years 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
During 1995, pursuant to a stockholders' agreement between Doral
and the principals of the predecessor company (the Minority Shareholders),
the Minority Shareholders exercised their option to sell to Doral, and Doral
purchased all of the Minority Shareholders' interest in Doral of
approximately $5,465 for $7,303, resulting in an increase to land and
improvements of approximately $1,426 and an increase to goodwill of
approximately $412.
INCOME TAXES-The Company accounts for income taxes under the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires an asset and liability approach
in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, a deferred tax liability
or asset is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to
temporary differences in the recognition of accounting transactions for tax
and reporting purposes and from carryforwards. Measurement of the deferred
items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequence of
differences result in a deferred tax asset, SFAS No. 109 requires an
evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits
indicated by such asset. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax
asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company is included in the
consolidated federal and combined state income tax returns filed by the
Parent. Pursuant to the terms of an agreement between the Company and the
Parent, current and deferred income tax expenses and benefits are provided to
the members of the tax sharing group including the Company based on their
allocable share of the consolidated taxable income or loss. To the extent
that the Federal tax losses of the Company are utilized by the Parent or
other of the Parent's subsidiaries, the Company is compensated. The combined
state tax liabilities will be allocated based on each member's apportioned
share of the combined state tax liabilities. Had the Company's accounting for
income taxes been performed utilizing the separate return basis, the
provision (benefit) for income taxes would have been $149, $260 and $(362)
for the years ended October 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
REVENUE RECOGNITION-Revenues related to dues and fees are
recognized as income in the period in which the service is provided.
Non-refundable membership initiation fees are recognized as revenue when
billed. Other revenues are recognized at the time of sale or rendering of
service.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS-The carrying amounts of cash
and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, accounts payable
and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short
maturity of these financial instruments. Notes receivable approximate fair
value as the interest rates charged approximate currently available market
rates. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for
debt with similar terms and maturities, the fair value of notes payable and
obligations under capital leases approximate the carrying value of these
liabilities.
Member deposits approximate fair value due to the agreed-upon terms
of the financial instrument. The fair value estimates presented herein are
based on pertinent information available as of the balance sheet dates. The
Company is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the
estimated fair value amounts.
USE OF ESTIMATES-The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles necessarily 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 periods. Actual results could differ from
these estimates.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS-During 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which
established standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive
income. Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in a Company's net
assets except changes resulting from transactions with shareholders. It
differs from net income in that certain items currently recorded to equity
would be a part of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income must be
reported in a financial statement with the cumulative total presented as a
component of equity. This statement will be adopted by the Company beginning
November 1, 1998.
During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," which will be effective for the Company beginning November 1,
1998. SFAS No. 131 redefines how operating segments are determined and
requires disclosure of certain financial and descriptive information about a
company's operating segments. The Company believes the segment information
required to be disclosed under SFAS No. 131 will be more comprehensive than
previously provided, including expanded disclosure of income statement and
balance sheet items. The Company has not yet completed its analysis of the
operating segments on which it will report.
RECLASSIFICATION-Certain reclassifications have been made to the
1996 and 1995 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1997
presentation.
3. NOTES RECEIVABLE
Notes receivable of $2,386 and $2,316 as of October 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively, represent purchase money mortgage notes received in
connection with the sale of a golf facility (Note 14) and various land
parcels. Such notes are due at various dates primarily through 2002.
Notes receivable of $4,061 and $2,681 at October 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, primarily represent notes from members related to member
deposits and bear interest primarily at 10%. The majority of these notes are
due within three years.
As part of the acquisition of Desert Resorts, the Company acquired
the rights to certain notes receivable. Notes receivable valued at
approximately $8,316, including discounts of $1,702, as of October 31, 1994,
were collected in full in January 1995. The discount is included in interest
income for the year ended October 31, 1995.
The Company, through TFG L.P., has a note receivable from a general
partner of $676 as of October 31, 1997 and 1996. The note accrues interest at
8% and is due upon the earlier of April 2000 or the partner selling his
partnership interest. No principal or interest payments are due on the note
until it matures (Note 12). In July, 1996, this general partner pledged TFG
L.P. partnership units as security for repayment of this note.

Other intangibles primarily represent costs related to the costs of
certain membership programs which are being amortized over 5 to 30 years
using the straight-line method. The favorable lease asset represents the
difference between the stated lease terms and the estimated fair value of a
golf course lease acquired and is amortized over the lease term. Lease
agreements represent the estimated fair value of lease contracts with third
parties related to a condominium leasing program associated with the
acquisition of Grand Traverse and is amortized generally over three years.
Amortization expense for these other assets, excluding debt issue costs,
approximated $960, $573 and $598 for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Investment in partnerships represented the Company's general and limited
partner interests in five limited partnerships whose principal assets were
undeveloped commercial and residential real estate parcels. On April 30, 1997
the Company sold one of these land partnership investments at historical cost
of $1,621 (which approximated fair value) to an affiliate for use in land
development. The remaining investments in four land partnerships at
historical cost of $2,155 were provided as a dividend to the Parent (Note
10). Accordingly, the Company has no investment in these partnerships as of
October 31, 1997.

In April 1997, the Company sold $125,000 of senior subordinated
redeemable notes (the Notes) and entered into a new credit facility providing
for term loans of up to $100,000 and a revolving credit line of up to
$175,000. The Notes are redeemable beginning May 2002 at the Company's option
at various rates ranging from 105.125% at May 2002, decreasing to 100% at May
2005 and thereafter. The Company is required to offer to buy the Notes at
101% upon a change of control, as defined in the Notes agreement. Maximum
borrowings under the revolving credit line decrease from a maximum of
$175,000 to $163,750 in May 2000, $152,500 in May 2001, $137,500 in May 2002
and $118,750 in May 2003.
The proceeds from the Notes, together with $100,000 of term loans under
the new credit facility and a $75,000 drawing under the revolving credit
portion of the new credit facility (collectively, the Refinancings) were used
on April 30, 1997, (i) to repay approximately $265,000 of outstanding
indebtedness of the Company, (ii) to make a loan of approximately $20,800 to
an affiliate, KSL Land Corporation (KSL Land), which was used to repay
indebtedness of KSL Land with respect to which a subsidiary of the Company
was a co-obligor, (iii) to pay prepayment penalties and fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the Refinancings and (iv) for general corporate
purposes. The stock of certain subsidiaries has been pledged to collateralize
the new credit facility. Prior to the Refinancings, long-term debt was
collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

The terms of the credit facility contain certain financial covenants
including interest coverage, fixed charges and leverage ratios. Certain of
the long-term debt agreements provide that any distributions of profits must
satisfy certain terms and must be approved by the lenders, require the
Company to maintain specified financial ratios and, in some instances, govern
investments, capital expenditures, asset dispositions and borrowings. In
addition, mandatory prepayments are required under certain circumstances,
including the sale of assets. The Company pays a commitment fee at a rate
that was initially equal to one-half of 1% per annum on the undrawn portion
of the commitments in respect of the credit facility, which began to accrue
on April 23, 1997. Total non-use fees of approximately $437, $262, and $322
were paid in 1997, 1996, 1995 respectively, on the daily average of the
unused amount of certain revolving and term loan commitments. The credit
facility contains provisions under which commitment fees and interest rates
for the revolving credit facility will be adjusted in increments based on the
achievement of certain performance goals. The Company was in compliance with
the financial covenants at October 31, 1997.
In December 1995, the Company completed a negotiated compromise debt
settlement (Note 13), and the Company and certain of its affiliates obtained
debt financing of $153,000. As a result of this transaction, the Company was,
through a subsidiary, co-obligor on KSL Land's portion of the debt financing
which had a principal amount outstanding of $20,794, at October 31, 1996. The
Company was released from its co-obligation as a result of the repayment of
KSL Land's indebtedness in April 1997, as described above.
Scheduled principal payments on long-term debt as of October 31, 1997
are as follows:

progress activities.
8. OBLIGATIONS UNDER CAPITAL LEASES
During 1997 the Company entered into a fifty year sublease of a resort
recreation area of approximately 1,041 acres known as Lake Lanier Islands
(Note 1). Under the terms of the sublease, the Company is required to make
monthly base lease payments of $250. An additional annual payment equal to
3.5% of gross revenues in excess of $20,000 is payable pursuant to the
sublease, with a minimum of $100 in years one through five and $200 in years
six through fifty. Pursuant to the sublease, the Company is required to spend
5% of annual gross revenues on capital replacement and improvements, with
carryover provisions allowing all or some portion of these amounts to be
deferred to subsequent years. In addition, the Company is committed to expend
$5,000 over the first five years of the sublease for the development and
construction of new capital projects. This sublease expires in 2046 and is
guaranteed by the Parent. Additionally, the Company has entered into certain
leases for equipment and golf carts that are classified as capital leases.
Property under the sublease and the other capital leases is summarized

The Company has reserved for net deferred tax assets whose realization
depends on future taxable income. The valuation reserve was decreased by
$1,128 during 1997 and was increased by $4,041 during 1996.
At October 31, 1997, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards
available of approximately $41,397, which will begin to expire in the year
ending October 31, 2009, to offset future federal taxable income. State net
operating loss carryforwards total approximately $39,362 which will begin to
expire in the year ending October 31, 1999.
10. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY
During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company received capital contributions
of approximately $9,005, $5,035 and $25,795 respectively, from the Parent.
The 1997 contributions were used primarily for equipment and other fixed
asset purchases at Lake Lanier and the 1995 and 1996 contributions were used
primarily for property renovations at Doral.
Concurrent with the Refinancings (Note 7), the Company provided
dividends to the Parent of $23,321 and a return of capital of $39,033,
including a transfer of the Company's $2,155 investment in certain limited
partnerships at historical cost (Note 6). Immediately prior to the
contribution from the Parent of certain subsidiaries (Note 1), Wild West
provided a dividend to the Parent of $600 and the Parent contributed
additional capital of $138 to VRI.
Earnings per share for the years ended October 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
outstanding common shares and common share equivalents, if any, during the
respective periods. Common share equivalents include the effect of dilutive
stock options calculated using the treasury stock method.

KSL RECREATION GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (EPS), which will require the Company to
disclose basic EPS and diluted EPS for all periods for which an income
statement is presented, and which will replace earnings per share disclosures
currently being made. The Company is required to adopt this standard
effective November 1, 1997. For pro forma disclosure purposes, basic EPS and
diluted EPS for the current and comparable periods in the prior years
computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128 would be equal to primary and fully
diluted EPS, respectively, as included in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations.
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a party to various litigation matters which are
incidental to its business. Although the results of the litigation cannot be
predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
Contractual obligations associated with construction in progress
approximated $2,722 at October 31, 1997, consisting primarily of the Gary
Player golf course at Grand Traverse. (Notes 6 and 7).
12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company provided financing to an affiliate, KSL Land, of
approximately $26,000 at October 31, 1995. The notes receivable bear interest
at rates ranging from 4% to 8.5%. On December 20, 1995, the Company forgave
$2,930 of the notes receivable (Note 13). The Company recorded interest
income of $87 and $1,845 in 1996 and 1995, respectively, related to these
notes receivable. KSL Land retired the remaining notes payable to the Company
in December 1995, when KSL Land and the Company obtained debt financing of
$153,000 (Note 7). As a result of the Refinancings (Note 7), the Company
provided financing to KSL Land of approximately $20,800 at April 30, 1997.
The Company recorded interest income of $798 in 1997 related to this note
receivable. This unsecured note receivable bears interest at 8% and is
payable at maturity in June 1999.
The receivable from Parent of $43,585 at October 31, 1996 is related
to loans by the Company to the Parent to fund Parent's operating costs and to
fund certain of the Parent's long-term investments.
Receivables of $3,694 from affiliates as of October 31, 1996, are
for reimbursement of expenses which the Company loaned the affiliates to fund
certain operating costs. These receivables were settled in April 1977.
Prior to the Refinancing, management fees of $1,750, $3,199 and
$750 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, were payable to the Parent for
management advisory services. These receivables were settled in April 1997.
As a result of the Refinancing, the Company entered into an expense
allocation agreement with the Parent. During 1997 the Company incurred $3,356
of expenses to be reimbursed to the Parent. Such management fees and
reimbursed expenses are included in corporate fee expense in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations.
TFG L.P. has a note receivable from a general partner of $676,
which is included in long-term notes receivable at October 31, 1997 and 1996.
The note accrues interest at 8% and is due upon the earlier of April 2000 or
the partner selling his partnership interest. No principal or interest
payments are due on the note until it matures. TFG L.P. accrued interest
income of $54 related to the note during both 1997 and 1996. In July 1996,
the general partner pledged TFG L.P. partnership units as security for
repayment of this note. In July 1996, the Parent entered into a put/call
agreement with one of the minority interest partners in TFG L.P. to purchase
such minority interest at any time through May 1, 2030.
13. EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS
On April 30, 1997, the Company expensed the net deferred financing
costs, prepayment fees and other costs, which aggregated approximately
$5,171, related to the debt that was extinguished as a result of the
Refinancings (Note 7). Such amount is reflected as an extraordinary loss on
early extinguishment of debt, net of income tax benefit of $2,007, in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
On December 20, 1995, the Company completed a negotiated compromise
debt settlement with the lender which provided financing for the various
properties acquired by Desert Resorts. As a result of this settlement, the
Company retired debt totaling $199,687 for a payment of $148,500 which
resulted in an extraordinary gain of $51,187, which was offset by $2,930 of
debt forgiveness to KSL Land (Note 12). For financial statement purposes,
after net interest forgiveness of $953, transaction costs of $333 and
deferred income taxes of $16,757, the net gain on extinguishment of debt was
$32,120. For federal income taxes, this gain is treated as an adjustment of
the original purchase price of the related assets and, therefore, results in
a deferred long-term income tax liability.
14. LOSS ON SALE OF GOLF COURSE FACILITY
During fiscal 1995, the Company sold one of the golf facilities
included in the Company's original acquisition of TFG L.P. for approximately
$2,100 resulting in a loss of approximately $2,700. In connection with the
sale, the Company received a note collateralized by the facility sold for
approximately $1,900. The note receivable bears interest at prime plus 2%
(10.5% at October 31, 1997), with an interest rate floor of 9% and a cap of
11%. Interest was deferred and added to principal until January 1996, at
which time monthly interest-only payments began. In October 1996, the note
was modified by the parties to defer interest payments from November 1996 to
March 1997 and add accrued interest to principal. Interest-only payments
resumed in April 1997. Monthly principal and interest payments of $20
commenced in July 1997 and continue through the maturity date of the note in
July 2002.
15. ACQUISITION
On August 11, 1997 the Company, through a subsidiary, acquired the
Grand Traverse Resort, a 425 room hotel and related golf and recreational
facilities, located outside Traverse City, Michigan for approximately $45,000.
The purchase of Grand Traverse was financed under the revolving
credit portion of the Company's credit facility (Note 7). The acquisition
has been accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the operating results
of Grand Traverse have been included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements since acquisition. The excess of the aggregate purchase price
over the fair value of the net assets acquired of approximately $6,000 is
being amortized over 15 years.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of
operations for the years ended October 31, 1997 and 1996 assume the Grand
Traverse acquisition occurred as of November 1, 1995:

STOCK OPTIONS OF PARENT
STOCK OPTION PLAN
Parent adopted the KSL Recreation Corporation 1995 Stock Purchase
and Option Plan (the "Plan"), providing for the issuance to certain officers
and key employees (the "Optionees") of up to 77,225 shares of common stock of
Parent ("Stock"). Unless sooner terminated by Parent's Board of Directors,
the Plan will expire on June 30, 2005.
The Compensation Committee of Parent's Board of Directors,
consisting of Messrs. Kravis and Tokarz (the "Committee"), administers the
Plan. The Committee has the authority to determine the forms and amounts of
awards made to Optionees (each, a "Grant"). Such Grants may take a variety of
forms in the Committee's sole discretion including "incentive stock options"
under Section 422 of the Code, other Stock options, stock appreciation
rights, restricted Stock, purchase Stock, dividend equivalent rights,
performance rights, performance shares or other stock-based grants.
NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENTS
All options granted under the Plan to date have been non-qualified
stock options granted pursuant to Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreements (the
"Stock Option Agreements"). Under the terms of Stock Option Agreements, the
exercise price of the options granted is $500 per share which approximates
fair value, and options may be exercised based upon a schedule which refers
to a date set forth in each Optionee's Stock Option Agreement (the "Option
Trigger Date"). Generally, an Optionee's options will vest over periods
ranging from one to five years from such Optionee's Option Trigger Date. Each
Stock Option Agreement provides for acceleration of exercisability of some or
all of an Optionee's options immediately prior to a change of control and
immediately upon termination of employment because of death, permanent
disability or retirement (at age 65 or over after three years of employment)
of the Optionee.
Options granted under the Plan pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement
expire upon the earliest of (i) June 30, 2005, (ii) the date the option is
terminated under the circumstances set forth in the Common Stock Purchase
Agreement (as defined below), (iii) the termination of the Optionee's
employment because of criminal conduct (other than traffic violations), (iv)
if prior to vesting 100% of Optionee's Options, the termination of
employment for any reason other than involuntary termination of employment
without cause, death, disability or retirement after the age of 65 and (v) if
the Committee so determines, the merger or consolidation of Parent into
another corporation or the exchange or acquisition by another corporation of
all or substantially all of Parent's assets or 80% of Parent's then
outstanding voting stock, or the reorganization, recapitalization,
liquidation or dissolution of Parent.
MANAGEMENT COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENTS
If an Optionee exercises options under his or her Stock Option
Agreement, he or she is required to enter into a Common Stock Purchase
Agreement with Parent. None of these employees (the "Management
Stockholders") has exercised any options to date. Pursuant to each Common
Stock Purchase Agreement, the Management Stockholder may not transfer any
shares of Stock acquired thereby or upon exercise of vested options granted
under the Plan (collectively, the "Plan Shares") within five years (although
certain Management Stockholders may transfer their Plan Shares after they
have been fully vested) after the date set forth in his or her Common Stock
Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Trigger Date").
Each Common Stock Purchase Agreement provides the Management
Stockholder with the right to require Parent to repurchase all of Management
Stockholder's Plan Shares and pay Management Stockholder (or his or her
estate or Management Stockholder Trust) a stated price for cancellation of
options if (a) the Management Stockholder's employment is terminated as a
result of his or her death or permanent disability, (b) the Management
Stockholder dies or becomes permanently disabled after having retired from
Parent at or after age 65 after having been employed by Parent for at least
three years after the Purchase Trigger Date or (c) with the prior consent of
Parent's Board of Directors (which consent will not be withheld unless the
Board reasonably determines that Parent would be financially impaired if it
made such a purchase), the Management Stockholder retires from Parent on or
after age 65 after having been employed by Parent for at least three years
after the Purchase Trigger Date. The Management Stockholder also has the
right, until the later of five years after the Purchase Trigger Date or the
first public offering in which the Partnerships (as defined in "Security
Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management") participate, to have
Parent register a stated percentage of his Plan Shares under the Securities
Act in connection with certain public offerings.
Each Common Stock Purchase Agreement also provides Parent with (a)
prior to a public offering, the right of first refusal to buy Plan Shares
owned by each Management Stockholder on essentially the same terms and
conditions as such Management Stockholder proposes in a sale of his Plan
Shares to another bona fide third party purchaser and (b) the right to
repurchase all of the Management Stockholder's Plan Shares and pay him a
stated price for cancellation of his Options if (i) the Management
Stockholder's employment is involuntarily terminated with cause, (ii) the
Management Stockholder terminates his or her employment other than by reason
of death, disability or retirement on or after the age of 65 or (iii) the
Management Stockholder effects an unpermitted transfer of Plan Shares.
41
Upon a change of control of Parent, the transfer restrictions,
right of first refusal, and certain other rights with respect to sale and
repurchase of the Plan Shares and cancellation of Options as described above
will lapse.
The repurchase price of the Plan Shares under the Common Stock
Purchase Agreements depends upon the nature of the event that triggers the
repurchase and whether such repurchase occurs at the election of the
Management Stockholder or Parent. Generally, if the repurchase is at the
Management Stockholder's election, the repurchase price per share will be the
book value per share (as defined in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement) of
Stock or, if the Stock is publicly traded, the market value per share of
Stock. Generally, if the repurchase is at Parent's election, the repurchase
price per share will be the lesser of (a) the book value per share (as
defined in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement) of Stock (or if the Stock is
publicly traded, the market value per share) and (b) $500.

(1) The Common Stock is not publicly traded and the value of the options

MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE BONUSES
Certain members of management of Parent and the Company, including Named
Executive Officers, departmental managers and executive officers, are
eligible to receive cash bonuses in addition to their annual salary
compensation. Such awards are based on the performance of such individuals as
determined by their direct supervisors and other senior management and the
financial performance of Parent and the Company.
STOCK PURCHASED BY MANAGEMENT
In October 1995, Messrs. Shannon, Lichliter, Saer and Affeldt purchased
2,053, 1,141, 301 and 53 shares of Stock, respectively, at a purchase price
of $500 per share. In connection with these purchases, Parent loaned
$1,026,260, $570,640, $150,720 and $26,715 to Messrs. Shannon, Lichliter,
Saer and Affeldt, respectively. Each loan is evidenced by a promissory note
which (i) is due and payable on June 9, 2005, but may be prepaid at any time,
without penalty, (ii) bears an annual interest rate of 5% and (iii) is
secured by the Stock purchased by each such individual.
STOCK RECEIVED IN LIEU OF FEES
In October 1995, Parent entered into Stock Purchase Agreements with
Messrs. Shannon, Lichliter, Saer and Affeldt, pursuant to which Messrs.
Shannon, Lichliter, Saer and Affeldt were issued 6,881, 3,826, 1,011 and 179
shares of Stock, respectively, in lieu of receiving certain fees otherwise
owed to them by Parent. Such Stock Purchase Agreements are substantially
similar to the Common Stock Purchase Agreements described above except that
restrictions on transfer are in effect for three years (compared with five
years, in general, under the Common Stock Purchase Agreements). Since such
Management Stockholders incurred certain income tax liabilities in connection
with the receipt of such Stock, Parent loaned $1,322,815, $735,529, $194,271
and $31,523 to Messrs. Shannon, Lichliter, Saer and Affeldt, respectively.
Each loan is evidenced by a promissory note which (i) is due and payable on
October 30, 2005, but may be prepaid at any time, without penalty, (ii) bears
an annual interest rate of 5% and (iii) is secured by the Stock granted to
each such individual.
OPTIONS AND PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS IN AFFILIATES
Certain executive officers and key employees received options and
partnership interests in KSL Land and partnerships affiliated therewith prior
to and during fiscal year 1997, but such options are "out-of-the-money" and
no allocation has been made for distribution of partnership profits with
respect to such partnership interests.
43
BOARD COMPENSATION
All directors are reimbursed for their usual and customary expenses
incurred in attending all Board and committee meetings. Each director receives

registration rights agreements. Such registration rights will generally be
available to each of the Partnerships until registration under the Securities
Act is no longer required to enable it to resell the Common Stock owned by it.
Such registration rights agreements provide, among other things, that Parent
will pay all expenses in connection with the first six registrations requested
by each such Partnership and in connection with any registration commenced by
Parent as a primary offering.
TRANSACTIONS WITH PARENT AND AFFILIATES OF PARENT
In connection with the Refinancings, the Company and Parent entered into an
Expense Allocation Agreement pursuant to which Parent performs management
services requested by the Company and the Company reimburses Parent for all
expenses incurred by Parent and directly attributable to the Company and its
subsidiaries.
The Company's liability for taxes is determined based upon a Tax Sharing
Agreement entered into by the members of the affiliated group of corporations
(within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code")) of which Parent is the common parent (the "Parent
Affiliated Group"). Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company and its
subsidiaries are generally responsible for Federal taxes based upon the amount
that would be due if the Company and its subsidiaries filed Federal tax returns
as a separate affiliated group of corporations rather than as part of Parent's
consolidated Federal tax returns. The allocation of tax liability pursuant to
the Tax Sharing Agreement may not reflect the Company's actual tax liability
that would be imposed on the Company had it not filed tax returns as part of the
Parent Affiliated Group. The combined state tax liabilities are allocated to the
Company and its subsidiaries based on similar principles.
Parent and the Company entered into the following transactions
concurrently with or prior to the consummation of the Refinancings: (i)
Parent contributed the outstanding capital stock of each of the parents of
the subsidiaries that own Desert Resorts, Doral and Fairways, and the parent
of the subsidiary that leases Lake Lanier Islands to the Company resulting in
such parents becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company; (ii) KSL
Landmark Corporation (which owned Desert Resorts and into which KSL Desert
Resorts, Inc. was merged effective May 16, 1997) paid a dividend to Parent
(through the Company) of all of the general partnership interests and Class A
limited partnership interests owned by KSL Landmark Corporation in four
affiliated limited partnerships whose principal assets are beneficial
interests in undeveloped commercial and residential real estate parcels in
the vicinity of Desert Resorts, thereby removing ongoing funding obligations
of the Company for holding costs relating to undeveloped land; (iii) the
Company sold to KSL Land at historical cost (which approximated fair market
value) the general partnership interest and Class A limited partnership
interest owned by KSL Landmark Corporation in an additional limited
partnership whose principal assets are residential real estate parcels in the
vicinity of Desert Resorts; (iv) Parent, the Company and affiliates settled
intercompany balances, resulting in an increase in cash to the Company of
$46.3 million; (v) the Company distributed to Parent in cash excess equity
funding of $46.3 million contributed by Parent to KSL Landmark Corporation at
the time of acquisition; (vi) the Company distributed $13.9 million in cash
to Parent, which was recorded as a return of capital to Parent; (vii) the
Company provided financing to KSL Land of $20.8 million and (viii) certain
management, lending and other agreements used to allocate corporate general
and administrative expenses between Parent and its subsidiaries prior to the
Refinancings were canceled and the Company and Parent entered into the
Expense Allocation Agreement which has resulted in an increase in corporate
general and administrative expenses of the Company following the
Refinancings. The Company paid management fees and fees pursuant to the
Expense Allocation Agreement (reflected collectively as the "Corporate Fee"
in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations) in the amount of
$5.1 million to Parent in fiscal year 1997.
46
On October 31, 1997, Parent contributed all of the capital stock of KSL
Travel, Inc. ("Travel"), Wild West Desert Properties, Inc. whose name was
subsequently changed to KSL Real Estate Company ("Real Estate") and KSL
Vacation Resorts, Inc., whose name was subsequently changed to Las Casitas
Corporation ("Las Casitas") to the Company and the Company contributed all
such stock to KSL Desert Resorts, Inc., the result of which was that Travel,
Real Estate and Las Casitas became wholly-owned subsidiaries of KSL Desert
Resorts, Inc. In connection with the contribution of capital stock of Las
Casitas to the Company, Parent contributed capital in the amount of $138,000
to the Company. Prior to the contribution of the capital stock of Real Estate
to the Company, Real Estate paid a dividend of $600,000 to Parent.
TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT
Parent has made loans to Messrs. Shannon, Lichliter, Saer and Affeldt
(i) in connection with their purchase of common stock of Parent and (ii) to fund
the tax liability incurred as a result of their receipt of common stock of
Parent. Each of Messrs. Shannon, Lichliter, Saer and Affeldt has delivered
promissory notes to Parent as evidence of such indebtedness. See "Executive
Compensation--Stock Purchased by Management" and "--Stock Received in Lieu of
Fees."
In addition, Parent has made loans to Messrs. Shannon, Lichliter, Saer and
Affeldt to fund tax liability incurred as a result of their receipt of common
stock of KSL Land and certain partnership interests in partnerships affiliated
with Parent. In connection with such loans, each of Messrs. Shannon, Lichliter,
Saer and Affeldt have delivered promissory notes in aggregate amounts of
$212,461, $122,832, $32,952 and $5,303, respectively.
