PART I
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements contained under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (this “Annual Report”) that are not statements of historical or current fact may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbor created by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements are statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, but reflect management’s current understandings, intentions, beliefs, plans, expectations, assumptions and/or predictions regarding the future of the Company’s business and its performance, the economy, and other future conditions and forecasts of future events and circumstances. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “continues,” “pro forma,” “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “should,” “could” and words and terms of similar substance in connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance, business strategy and portfolios, projected growth prospects, cash flows, costs and financing needs, legal proceedings, amount and timing of anticipated future distributions, estimates of per share net asset value of the Company’s common stock, and/or other matters. The Company’s forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. While the Company’s management believes its forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. As with any projection or forecast, forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent on assumptions, data and/or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise, and may not be realized. The Company’s forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s ability to control or accurately predict. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. Given these uncertainties, the Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on such statements.
For further information regarding risks and uncertainties associated with the Company’s business, and important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to vary materially from those expressed or implied in its forward-looking statements, please refer to the factors listed and described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the “Risk Factors” sections of the Company’s documents filed from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, this Annual Report and the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, copies of which may be obtained from the Company’s website at http://www.cnllifestylereit.com.
All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary note. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, publicly release the results of any revisions to its forward-looking statements to reflect new information, changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated subsequent events or circumstances, or changes to future operating results over time, except as otherwise required by law.
Item 1.
BUSINESS
General
CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. is a Maryland corporation incorporated on August 11, 2003. The terms “we,” “our,” or “us,” “the Company” and “CNL Lifestyle Properties” include CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. and each of its subsidiaries. We operate as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Two of our wholly owned subsidiaries, CLP GP Corp. and CLP LP Partners Corp., are the general and limited partners, respectively, of CLP Partners, LP, which is our operating partnership and which conducts substantially all of our operations and owns substantially all of our assets. We have retained CNL Lifestyle Advisor Corporation (the “Advisor”), as our Advisor to provide management, acquisition, disposition, advisory and administrative services. Our offices are located at 450 South Orange Avenue within the CNL Center at City Commons in Orlando, Florida 32801, and our telephone number is (407)650-1000.
As part of Our Exit Strategy described below, in November 2016, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of our remaining 36 properties (the "Sale Agreement") for approximately $830.0 million, as previously disclosed on Form 8-K filed on November 2, 2016. In connection with the transaction contemplated by the Sale Agreement, in November 2016, our board of directors approved a plan of liquidation and dissolution (the "Plan of Dissolution") and also approved the suspension of our quarterly cash distribution on our common stock effective as of the fourth quarter distribution.



1


At a special meeting of the stockholders held on March 24, 2017, our stockholders approved:
the sale of all of our remaining properties (the “Sale”) to EPR Properties, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“EPR”), and Ski Resort Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company affiliated with Och-Ziff Real Estate(“SRH”), pursuant to the Sale Agreement and
the Plan of Dissolution, including our complete liquidation and dissolution contemplated thereby, subject to the approval of the Sale and following the closing of the Sale. 
We expect to close the Sale in the second quarter of 2017, at which time we will receive approximately $830 million, which is estimated to be paid (i) approximately $183 million in cash, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Sale Agreement and (ii) approximately $647 million of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of beneficial interest of EPR (“EPR common shares”). The number of EPR common shares to be received by us will be determined by dividing approximately $647 million by the volume weighted average price per EPR common share on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) for the ten business days ending on the second business day before the closing of the Sale (the “Closing VWAP”), provided that (i) if the Closing VWAP is less than $68.25, then the calculation will be made as if the Closing VWAP were $68.25 and (ii) if the Closing VWAP is greater than $82.63, then the calculation will be made as if the Closing VWAP were $82.63. We anticipate distributing to stockholders the EPR common shares (and a portion of the cash consideration after repayment of associated liabilities) within two weeks after the closing.
Upon consummation of the Sale, we will transfer all of our remaining properties to EPR and SRH, as applicable, and we will continue to exist as a separate legal entity until our subsequent liquidation and dissolution pursuant to the Plan of Dissolution.
Our Exit Strategy
We began a process of evaluating strategic alternatives in an effort to provide stockholders with liquidity of their investment. In connection with these objectives, in March 2014, we engaged Jefferies LLC ("Jefferies") and formed a special committee comprised solely of our independent directors to assist management and the board of directors in actively evaluating various strategic opportunities. In connection with this process, between 2014 and 2015, we sold 104 properties and also sold our 81.98% interest in the DMC Partnership, an unconsolidated joint venture that owned and operated the Dallas Market Center (the “DMC Partnership”), for aggregate net sales proceeds of approximately $1.516 billion. We used the net sales proceeds from the sale of these properties to repay indebtedness during 2014 and 2015. In accordance with our undertaking to provide stockholders with partial liquidity, we also used a portion of net sales proceeds received from the sale of properties during the year ended December 31, 2015 to make a special distribution to stockholders of approximately $422.7 million during December 2015.
During 2016, we completed the sale of our remaining five marina properties and our unimproved land for more than their carrying value. Additionally, in April 2016 we acquired our co-venture partner’s 20% interest in the Intrawest Venture and subsequently in October 2016, we sold the seven ski and mountain lifestyle properties, which were owned through the Intrawest Venture, for approximately their net carrying value. As of December 31, 2016, we held ownership interests in 36 properties.
As described above, in November 2016, we entered into the Sale Agreement for the Sale of our remaining 36 properties for approximately $830.0 million. In connection with the transaction contemplated by the Sale Agreement, in November 2016, our board of directors approved the Plan of Dissolution. The board of directors also declared and paid a special cash distribution of approximately $162.6 million, or $0.50 per share, during November 2016. In addition, in light of the Plan of Dissolution, our board of directors also approved the suspension of our quarterly cash distribution on our common stock effective as of the fourth quarter 2016 distribution.
As of March 16, 2017, when aggregated by initial purchase price, the portfolio of 36 properties is diversified as follows: approximately 58% in ski and mountain lifestyle and 42% in attractions. These assets consist of 16 ski and mountain lifestyle properties and 20 attractions properties with the following investment structure:
                    
Wholly-owned: (1)
 
Leased properties

Managed properties

FOOTNOTE:
(1)
Our real estate investment portfolio is geographically diversified with properties in 18 states and one Canadian province.
Our tenants and operators. We generally attempt to lease our properties to tenants and operators that we consider to be industry leading. However, we do not believe the success of our properties is based solely on the performance or abilities of our tenants and operators. In some cases, we consider the assets we have acquired to be unique, iconic or nonreplicable which by their nature have an intrinsic value. In addition, in the event a tenant is in default and vacates a property, under special provisions in the tax

2


laws, we are able to engage a third-party manager to operate the property on our behalf for a period of time until we re-lease it to a new tenant. During this period, the property remains open and we receive any net earnings from the property’s operations. These amounts may be more or less than the rents that were contractually due under the prior leases. Any taxable income from these properties will be subject to income tax until we re-lease these properties to new tenants.
Financial information about geographic areas. We have one consolidated property, Cypress Mountain, located in British Columbia, Canada, which generated total rental income of approximately $5.9 million, $5.1 million and $6.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
As of December 31, 2015 and through March 31, 2016, we also owned interests in two other properties located in Canada through the Intrawest joint venture that generated a combined equity in earnings (loss) of approximately $0.3 million, $0.9 million and ($0.1) million during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. On April 1, 2016, we acquired the remaining 20% interest in the Intrawest joint venture and upon acquisition we began consolidating the results of operations of the two properties located in Canada in our consolidated financial statements. These two properties located in Canada were subsequently sold in October 2016. During the period April 2016 through October 2016, these two properties generated total rental income of approximately $2.7 million.
The remainder of our net income was generated from properties or investments located in the United States.
Our leases and ventures. Our leases are usually structured as triple-net leases which means our tenants are generally responsible for repairs, maintenance, property taxes, ground lease or permit expenses (where applicable), utilities and insurance for the properties that they lease.
The weighted-average lease rate of our consolidated properties subject to long-term triple-net leases as of December 31, 2016 was approximately 10%. This rate was based on the weighted-average annualized straight-lined base rent due under our leases. We typically structure our leases to provide for the payment of a minimum annual base rent with periodic increases in base rent over the lease term. In addition, our leases typically provide for the payment of percentage rent based on a percentage of gross revenues generated at the property over certain thresholds. Within the provisions of our leases, we also generally require the payment of capital improvement reserve rent. Capital improvement reserve rents are paid by the tenant, are generally based on a percentage of gross revenue of the property and are set aside by us for capital improvements, replacements and other capital expenditures at the property. These amounts are and will remain our property during and after the term of the lease and help maintain the integrity of our assets.
Our leases are generally long-term in nature (generally five to 20 years with multiple renewal options). Some of our tenants operate more than one of our properties with the leases being cross-defaulted. As of December 31, 2016, we have 24 consolidated properties structured as triple-net leases with the average lease expiration of approximately 13 years. We have eight leases scheduled to expire in 2026. None of our other leases are scheduled to expire within the next 10 years.
Our managed properties. When beneficial to our investment structure and subject to applicable tax regulations, certain properties may be leased to wholly-owned tenants that are taxable REIT subsidiaries or that are owned through taxable REIT subsidiaries (referred to as “TRS” entities). Under this structure, we engage a third-party manager to conduct day-to-day operations and our results of operations will include the operating results of the underlying properties as opposed to rental income from operating leases that is recorded for properties leased to third-party tenants. In addition, in the case of a tenant default and lease termination, we may engage a third-party manager to operate the property on our behalf for a period of time until we can re-lease the property. This allows us time to stabilize the property, if necessary, and enter into a new lease when market conditions are potentially more favorable. During this managed period, we recognize all the underlying property operating revenues and expenses in our consolidated financial statements and may be subject to more direct operating risk including risks associated with seasonality and are subject to federal income tax on taxable income from the operations. See “Seasonality” below for additional information.
Our joint ventures. We entered into joint ventures in which our partners subordinate their returns to our minimum return. As of December 31, 2015, we had a total of seven properties, under leased structure, owned through our 80% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture. In April 2016, the Company satisfied the terms and conditions under the buy-sell provisions of the partnership agreement and acquired its co-venture partner's 20% interest in the Intrawest Venture for a nominal amount, agreed to sell the seven leased properties and sold the seven properties in October 2016.
Seasonality. Many of the asset classes in which we have invested experience seasonal fluctuations due to the nature of their business, geographic location, climate and weather patterns. As a result, these businesses experience seasonal variations in revenues that may require our operators to supplement operating cash from their properties in order to be able to make scheduled rent payments to us. We have structured the leases for certain tenants such that rents are paid on a seasonal schedule with most, if not all, of the rent being paid during the tenant’s seasonally busy operating period.
As part of our portfolio diversification strategy, we specifically considered the varying and complimentary seasonality of our asset classes and portfolio mix. For example, the peak operating season for our ski and mountain lifestyle assets is highly complementary to the peak seasons for our attractions to balance and mitigate the risks associated with seasonality. Generally, seasonality does

3


not significantly affect our recognition of rental income from operating leases due to straight-line revenue recognition in accordance with GAAP. However, seasonality may impact the timing of when base rent payments are made by our tenants, which impacts our operating cash flows. Additionally, seasonality affects the amount of rental revenue we recognize in connection with capital improvement reserve revenue and percentage rents paid by our tenants, which is recognized in the period in which it is earned and is generally based on a percentage of tenant revenues.
Seasonality also directly impacts certain of our properties where we engage independent third-party operators to manage on our behalf and where we record property operating revenues and expenses rather than straight-line rents from operating leases. These properties will likely generate net operating losses during their non-peak months while generating most, if not all, of their operating income during their peak operating months. Our consolidated operating results and cash flows during the first, second and fourth quarters will be lower than the third quarter primarily due to the non-peak operating months of our larger attractions properties. As of December 31, 2016, we had a total of 12 wholly-owned managed attractions properties.
Significant tenants. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we had one tenant who generated more than 10% of total revenues from continuing operations. This tenant operates seven of our ski and mountain lifestyle properties and represented approximately $43.1 million of our consolidated revenues from continuing operations.
Termination and REIT Status
Our articles of incorporation provide that the board of directors shall use its best efforts to take such actions as are necessary, and may take such actions as it deems desirable, to preserve the status of the Company as a REIT. However, in the event that the board of directors determines, by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors, that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company to remain qualified as a REIT, the board of directors shall cause the termination of the Company’s qualification as a REIT to be submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. The stockholders may terminate the Company’s status as a REIT by a vote of holders of majority of our shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
Our articles of incorporation also provide for the Company’s voluntary termination and dissolution by the affirmative vote of a majority of our shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Under Maryland law, the Company’s voluntary termination and dissolution must also be declared advisable by a majority of the entire board of directors. As described above, in November 2016, our board of directors approved our Plan of Dissolution and on March 24, 2017, our stockholders approved our Plan of Dissolution.
Financial Information About Industry Segments
We have determined that we operate in one business segment, real estate ownership, which consists of investing in and owning a diversified portfolio of real estate primarily within the United States. We view, manage and evaluate all of our lifestyle properties homogeneously as one collection of assets with a common goal to maximize revenues and property income regardless of the type (ski and attractions) or ownership structure (leased or managed). Our chief operating decision maker reviews all of our properties as one consolidated portfolio and does not drive resource allocation decisions based on individual property or groups of properties. Accordingly, we do not report segment information.
Advisory Services
Under the terms of the advisory agreement, our Advisor is responsible for our day-to-day operations, administers our bookkeeping and accounting functions, serves as our consultant in connection with policy decisions to be made by our board of directors, manages our properties and renders other services as the board of directors deems appropriate. In addition, the Advisor engages and contracts with certain of its affiliates to provide services and personnel to the Company. In exchange for these services, our Advisor is entitled to receive certain fees from us. For supervision and day-to-day management of our properties, our Advisor receives an asset management fee, which is payable monthly, based on the total real estate asset value of our properties as defined in the advisory agreement (exclusive of acquisition fees and acquisition expenses), and the amount invested in any other permitted investments as of the end of the preceding month.
In addition, we reimburse our Advisor for all of the costs it incurs in connection with the administrative services it provides to us. However, in accordance with the advisory agreement, our Advisor is required to reimburse us for the amount by which the total operating expenses (as described in the advisory agreement) incurred by us in any four consecutive fiscal quarters (the “Expense Year”) exceed the greater of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income (the “Expense Cap”). For the Expense year ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, operating expenses did not exceed the Expense Cap.
Legal and Regulatory Considerations
General. Our properties are subject to various laws, ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to common areas. We believe that each of our properties as of December 31, 2016 had the necessary permits and approvals to operate its business.
Americans with Disabilities Act. Our U.S. properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or the ADA, to the extent that such properties are “public accommodations” as defined by the ADA. The ADA may require removal

4


of structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. We are not aware of any material noncompliance with the ADA at our properties. However, noncompliance with the ADA could result in imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. The obligation to make readily achievable accommodations is an ongoing one, and we will continue to assess our properties and to make alterations as appropriate in this respect. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors – Real Estate and Other Investment Risks – Certain of our properties are subject to environmental liabilities that could significantly impact our return from the properties and the success of our ventures.”
Environmental, Health, and Safety Matters. We are subject to many federal, state, and local environmental, health, and safety laws. The applicability of specific environmental, health, and, safety laws to each of our individual properties is dependent upon a number of property-specific factors, including: the current and former uses of the property; any impacts to the property from other properties; the type and amount of any emissions or discharges from or releases at the property; the building materials used at the property, including any asbestos-containing materials; and the type and amount of any hazardous substances or wastes used, stored, or generated at the property.
Under various laws relating to protection of the environment, current and former owners and operators of real property may be liable for any contamination resulting from the presence or release of hazardous or toxic substances at the property. Current and former owners and operators may also be held liable to the government or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and remediation costs related to contamination, regardless of whether the owners and operators were responsible for or even knew of the contamination, and the liability may be joint and several. The government may be entitled to a lien on a contaminated property. Certain environmental laws, as well as the common law, may subject us to liability for damages or injuries suffered by third parties as a result of environmental contamination or releases originating at our properties, including releases of asbestos, and the liabilities associated with our properties could exceed the values of the respective properties. Some of our properties were previously used for industrial purposes, and those properties may contain some degree of contamination. Environmental impacts or contamination at our properties may prevent us from selling or leasing the properties or using them as collateral. Environmental laws may regulate the use of our properties or the types of operations which can be conducted at our properties, and these regulations may necessitate corrective or other expenditures.
Some of our properties may contain asbestos-containing building materials. Asbestos-containing building materials are subject to management and maintenance requirements under environmental laws, and owners and operators may be subject to penalty for noncompliance. Environmental laws may allow suits by third parties for recovery from owners and operators for personal injury related to exposure to asbestos-containing building materials.
Prior to the purchase of our properties, we generally engage independent environmental consultants to perform Phase I environmental assessments, which normally do not involve soil, groundwater or other invasive sampling. When Phase I environmental assessment results indicated the need to do so, we conducted Phase II assessments, which do involve invasive sampling. These assessments have not revealed any materially adverse environmental conditions which impact or have impacted our properties other than conditions which have been remediated or are currently undergoing remediation. There can be no assurance, however, that new environmental liabilities have not developed since the assessments were performed, that the assessment failed to reveal material adverse environmental conditions, liabilities, or compliance concerns, or that future developments, including changes in laws or regulations, will not impose environmental costs or liabilities upon us. If we become subject to material environmental liabilities, these liabilities could adversely affect us, our business and assets, the results of our operations, and our ability to meet our obligations. See, “Risk Factors – Real Estate and Other Investment Risks – Our properties may be subject to environmental liabilities that could significantly impact or return from the properties and the success of our ventures.”
Insurance. We maintain, or cause operators to maintain, insurance including, but not limited to, liability, fire, wind, earthquake, and business income coverage on all of our properties that are not being leased on a triple-net basis under various policies. We select policy specifications, insured limits and self-insured retention limits which we believe to be appropriate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice and, in the opinion of our company’s management, our properties that are not being leased on a triple-net basis are currently adequately insured. We do not carry insurance for generally uninsured losses such as loss from war or nuclear reaction. Certain of our properties are located in areas known to be seismically active. See “Risk Factors—Real Estate and Other Investment Risks—Potential losses may not be covered by insurance.”
Employees
We are externally managed and as such we do not have any employees.

RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to the Sale and the Plan of Dissolution
Failure to complete the Sale on a timely basis or at all may result in us discontinuing our business and operations and/or reducing the assets available for distribution to our stockholders.
On November 2, 2016, we entered into a sale agreement (the "Sale Agreement") with EPR Properties (“EPR”) and Ski Resort Holdings LLC, a company affiliated with Och-Ziff Real Estate (together with EPR, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which we will sell all of our remaining properties for consideration consisting of cash and EPR common shares (the “Sale”). Upon the completion of the Sale, we plan to undergo a dissolution process (the “Dissolution” and, together with the Sale, the “Proposed Transactions”) conducted pursuant to a plan of liquidation and dissolution (the “Plan of Dissolution”). On March 24, 2017, our stockholders approved the Sale Agreement and the Plan of Dissolution at the special stockholders meeting. However, certain conditions precedent to the consummation of the Sale Agreement must be satisfied to complete the sale.
If the Sale is not completed on a timely basis or at all for any reason, we could be subject to a number of material risks, including that:
we may be unable to dispose of our assets for an aggregate amount equal to or exceeding our liabilities and obligations;
we may be unable to secure additional capital or enter into an alternative business combination transaction;
we may be unable to refinance our existing debt when it becomes due;
we would still be required to pay expenses incurred in connection with the Sale, including financial advisory, legal and accounting fees; and
we may be required, under certain circumstances, to pay a termination fee of $25 million, plus reimbursement of actual out of pocket expenses, up to $10 million, incurred by the Purchasers, as described in the Sale Agreement.
The occurrence of any of the above events would impair our ability to conduct our operations and business and may force us to discontinue our operations altogether. Furthermore, if the Sale is not consummated, the board of directors will have to review other alternatives to provide stockholders with liquidity, which may not occur in the near term or on terms as attractive as the terms of the Sale.
The Sale is subject to a number of conditions and the failure to satisfy any of these conditions would jeopardize our ability to complete the Sale.
The completion of the Sale is subject to numerous closing conditions, some of which are out of our control, including the following:
the approval of the NYSE listing of the EPR common shares to be issued in the Sale;
the receipt of forest service permits and ground lessor consents;
the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties contained in the Sale Agreement at and as of the closing of the Sale (subject to certain materiality qualifiers);
the performance in all material respects of each party’s obligations under the Sale Agreement required to be performed by it on or prior to the closing date of the Sale;
the absence of a material adverse effect on the entities and assets being acquired by the Purchasers, and the absence of a material adverse effect on either of the Purchasers; and
the receipt of certain notices and/or orders under the Investment Canada Act. 
We cannot be certain when we will be able to satisfy the other closing conditions or whether we will be able to satisfy them at all. Furthermore, we cannot be certain whether or when the Purchasers will be able to satisfy the closing conditions. If any of these conditions are not satisfied or waived prior to September 15, 2017, it is possible that the Sale Agreement may be terminated. Although we and the Purchasers have agreed in the Sale Agreement to use reasonable best efforts, subject to certain

6


limitations, to complete the Sale as promptly as possible, these and other conditions to the completion of the Sale may fail to be satisfied. We cannot guarantee that the Sale will be completed. If the Sale is not completed, we may have a need for additional capital to operate our business. Without the proceeds from the Sale, we would have to significantly curtail our operations to continue to achieve our investment objectives, which measures may still not provide sufficient capital or other resources, unless we were able to obtain substantial additional financing. We believe that our ability to raise such capital through such additional financing is very limited. See “-Financing Related Risks” below.
Uncertainty regarding the Sale could adversely affect our business and operations.
Because the Sale is subject to several closing conditions (as described above), uncertainty exists regarding the completion of the Sale. This uncertainty may cause some tenants, vendors/suppliers or others to delay or defer decisions, which could negatively affect our revenues, earnings, cash flows and expenses, regardless of whether the Sale is consummated.  Similarly, the current and prospective employees of our Advisor may experience uncertainty about their future roles following the closing of the Sale which may materially adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key personnel during the pendency of the Sale. In addition, due to operating restrictions in the Sale Agreement, we may be unable, without the other Purchasers’ consent, during the pendency of the Sale, to pursue certain strategic transactions, undertake certain capital projects, undertake certain significant financing transactions and otherwise pursue other actions that are not in the ordinary course of business, even if such actions would prove beneficial.
Pursuing the Plan of Dissolution may cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT, which would dramatically lower the amount of our liquidating distributions.
For so long as we qualify as a REIT and distribute all of our taxable income, we generally are not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Although the our board of directors does not presently intend to terminate our REIT status prior to the final distribution of our assets and our dissolution, our board of directors may take actions pursuant to the Plan of Dissolution that would result in such a loss of REIT status. Upon the final distribution of our assets and our dissolution, our existence and our REIT status will terminate. However, there is a risk that our actions in pursuit of the Plan of Dissolution may cause us to fail to meet one or more of the requirements that must be met in order to qualify as a REIT prior to completion of the Plan of Dissolution. For example, to qualify as a REIT, at least 75% of our gross income must come from real estate sources and 95% of our gross income must come from real estate sources and certain other sources that are itemized in the REIT tax laws, mainly interest and dividends. We may encounter difficulties satisfying these requirements as part of the liquidation process. In addition, in connection with that process, we may recognize ordinary income in excess of the cash received. The REIT rules require us to pay out a large portion of our ordinary income in the form of a dividend to our stockholders. However, to the extent that we recognize ordinary income without any cash available for distribution, and if we were unable to borrow to fund the required dividend or find another way to meet the REIT distribution requirements, we may cease to qualify as a REIT. While we expect to comply with the requirements necessary to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, if we are unable to do so, we will, among other things (unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions):
not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to stockholders in computing our taxable income;
be subject to U.S. federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular corporate rates;
be subject to increased state and local taxes; and
be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the taxable year in which we lose our qualification and for the four subsequent taxable years.
As a result of these consequences, our failure to qualify as a REIT could substantially reduce the funds available for distribution to our stockholders.
Our board of directors may abandon or delay implementation of the Plan of Dissolution even if it is approved by our stockholders.
Our board of directors has adopted and approved the Plan of Dissolution for the liquidation and dissolution of the Company following the closing of the Sale. Nevertheless, our board of directors may terminate the Plan of Dissolution for any reason. This power of termination may be exercised both before and after the approval of the Plan of Dissolution by our stockholders, up to the time that the articles of dissolution have been accepted for record by the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland. Notwithstanding approval of the Plan of Dissolution by our stockholders, the board of directors may modify or amend the Plan of Dissolution without further action by the our stockholders to the extent permitted under then current law. Following completion of the Sale, we will continue to exist as a public company until we are dissolved. Although our board of directors has no present intention to pursue any alternative to the Plan of Dissolution, our board of directors may conclude either that its duties under applicable law require it to pursue business opportunities that present themselves or that abandoning the Plan of Dissolution is otherwise in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. If our board of directors elects to pursue any alternative

7


to the Plan of Dissolution, our stockholders may not receive any of the consideration currently estimated to be available for distribution to them pursuant to the Sale and the Plan of Dissolution.
Real Estate and Other Investment Risks
Certain of our tenants may be unable to make rental payments to us in accordance with their lease agreement.
Some of our tenants have experienced difficulties or have been unable to obtain working capital lines of credit or renew their existing lines of credit. As a result, we restructured the leases for certain tenants such that the rents are paid on a seasonal schedule with most, if not all, of the rent being paid during the tenants’ seasonally busy period. In other cases, we restructured the lease terms to allow for rent deferrals or reductions for a period of time to provide temporary relief that then become payable in later periods of the lease term. In addition, we have refunded security deposits which must be replaced up to specified amounts and have provided lease allowances. The rent deferrals granted, the security deposits refunded and lease allowances paid reduced our cash flows from operating activities. Other restructures, such as the reductions in lease rates and the future amortization of lease allowances against rental income have reduced, and will continue to reduce, our net operating results and cash flows in current and future periods. Any significant reduction in our cash flow may cause us not to have sources of cash available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay amounts due on our indebtedness.
Our operating results will experience seasonal fluctuations on properties in which we have engaged third-party managers to operate the properties on our behalf.
In certain circumstances, we have engaged third-party managers to operate properties on our behalf as a result of tenant defaults. In these situations, we recognize the properties’ operating revenues and expenses in our consolidated financial statements and we may be subject to more direct operating risk. In addition, certain of our managed properties are seasonal in nature due to geographic location, climate and weather patterns. These properties will likely generate net operating losses during their non-peak months while generating most, if not all, of their operating income during their peak operating season. Our consolidated operating results will fluctuate quarter to quarter depending on the number and types of properties being managed by third-party operators and the seasonal results of those properties.
We will be exposed to various operational risks, liabilities and claims with respect to the properties that we have engaged third-party managers to operate on our behalf, which may adversely affect our operating results.
With respect to the properties that are managed by third-party operators, we are exposed to various operational risks, liabilities and claims in addition to those generally applicable to ownership of real property. These risks include the operator’s inability to manage the properties and fulfill its obligations, increases in labor costs and services, cost of energy, insurance, operating supplies and litigation costs relating to accidents or injuries at the properties. Although we maintain reasonable levels of insurance, we cannot be certain the insurance will adequately cover all litigation costs relating to accidents or injuries. Any one or a combination of these factors, together with other market and conditions beyond our control, could result in operating deficiencies at our managed properties, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and our ability to pay amounts due on our indebtedness.
Because our revenues are highly dependent on lease payments from our properties, defaults by our tenants would reduce our cash available for the repayment of our outstanding debt.
Our ability to repay any outstanding debt will depend upon the ability of our tenants to make payments to us, and their ability to make these payments will depend primarily on their ability to generate sufficient revenues in excess of operating expenses from businesses conducted on our properties. For example, the ability of our tenants to make their scheduled payments to us will depend upon their ability to generate sufficient operating income at the property they operate. A tenant’s failure or delay in making scheduled rent payments to us may result from the tenant realizing reduced revenues at the properties it operates.
Discretionary consumer spending may affect the profitability of certain of our properties.
The financial performance of certain properties in our portfolio depends in part on a number of factors relating to or affecting discretionary consumer spending for the types of services provided by businesses operated on these properties. Unfavorable local, regional, or national economic developments or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects have reduced in the past and may reduce in the future consumer spending in the markets where we own properties and have adversely affected certain of our tenants’ businesses. As a result, certain of our tenants have experienced declines in operating results, and a number of our tenants have modified the terms of certain of their leases with us. Any continuation of such events that leads to lower spending on lifestyle activities could impact our tenants’ ability to pay rent and may also adversely affect the operating results we recognize from the properties where we have engaged third party managers to operate on our behalf, thereby having a material adverse effect on our operating results and our ability to pay amounts due on our indebtedness.
Seasonal revenue variations in certain asset classes will require the operators of those asset classes to manage cash flow properly over time so as to meet their non-seasonal scheduled rent payments to us.

8


Certain of the properties in which we have invested are generally seasonal in nature due to geographic location, climate and weather patterns. For example, revenue and profits at ski resorts and their related properties are substantially lower and historically result in losses during the summer months due to the closure of ski operations, while many attractions properties are closed during the winter months and produce the majority of their revenues and profits during summer months. As a result of the seasonal nature of certain business operations that may be conducted on our properties, these businesses experience seasonal variations in revenues that may require our operators to supplement revenue at their properties in order to be able to make scheduled rent payments to us, or require us, in certain cases, to adjust their lease payments so that we collect more rent during their seasonally busy time.
Our real estate assets may be subject to impairment charges.
We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying value of our real estate assets for impairment indicators. Factors considered in evaluating impairment of our existing real estate assets held for investment include significant declines in property operating profits, recurring property operating losses and other significant adverse changes in general market conditions. Generally, a real estate asset held for investment is not considered impaired if the undiscounted, estimated future cash flows of the asset over its estimated holding period and the proceeds from a future sale are in excess of the asset’s net book value at the balance sheet date. Investments in unconsolidated entities are not considered impaired if the estimated fair value of the investment exceeds the carrying value of the investment. Management makes assumptions and estimates when considering impairments and actual results could vary materially from these assumptions and estimates.
We do not have control over market and business conditions that may affect our success.
The following external factors, as well as other factors beyond our control, may reduce the value of our properties, the ability of tenants to pay rent on a timely basis or the amount of the rent to be paid:
changes in general or local economic or market conditions;
the pricing and availability of debt, operating lines of credit or working capital;
increased costs of energy, insurance or products;
increased costs and shortages of labor;
increased competition;
quality of management;
failure by a tenant to meet its obligations under a lease;
bankruptcy of a tenant or borrower;
the ability of an operator to fulfill its obligations;
limited alternative uses for properties;
changing consumer habits;
condemnation or uninsured losses;
changing demographics; and
changing government regulations including tax policies.
Further, the results of operations for a property in any one period may not be indicative of results in future periods, and the long-term performance of such property generally may not be comparable to, and cash flows may not be as predictable as, other properties owned by third parties in the same or similar industry. If tenants are unable to make lease payments as a result of any of these factors, we may have insufficient cash available to pay amounts due on our indebtedness.
Our exposure to typical real estate investment risks could reduce our income.
Our properties, loans and other permitted investments will be subject to the risks typically associated with investments in real estate. Such risks include the possibility that our properties will generate rent and capital appreciation, if any, at rates lower than we anticipated or will yield returns lower than those available through other investments or that the value of our properties will decline. Income from our properties may be adversely affected by many factors including, but not limited to, an increase in the local supply of properties similar to our properties, a decrease in the number of people interested in participating in activities related to the businesses conducted on our properties, adverse weather conditions, changes in government regulation, international, national or local economic deterioration, increases in energy costs and other expenses affecting travel, factors which may affect travel patterns and reduce the number of travelers and tourists, increases in operating costs due to inflation and other factors that may not be offset by increased revenue, and changes in consumer tastes.
If one or more of our tenants file for bankruptcy protection, we may be precluded from collecting all sums due.

9


If one or more of our tenants, or the guarantor of a tenant’s lease obligation, commences or is subject to an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, any proceeding under any provision of the U.S. federal bankruptcy code, or any other legal or equitable proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation, receivership or debtor’s relief statute or law, (such proceedings being referred to as, a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), we may be unable to collect sums due under our lease(s) with that tenant. Any or all of our tenants, or a guarantor of a tenant’s lease obligations, could be subject to a Bankruptcy Proceeding. A Bankruptcy Proceeding may bar our efforts to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from those entities or their properties, unless we are able to obtain an enabling order from the bankruptcy court. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would only have a general unsecured claim against the tenant, and may not be entitled to any further payments under the lease. We believe that our security deposits in the form of letters of credit would be protected from bankruptcy in most jurisdictions. However, a tenant’s or lease guarantor’s Bankruptcy Proceeding could hinder or delay efforts to collect past due balances under relevant leases or guarantees and could ultimately preclude collection of these sums. Such an event could cause a decrease or cessation of rental payments which would reduce our cash flow and the amount available to pay our indebtedness. In the event of a Bankruptcy Proceeding, we cannot assure you that the tenant or its trustee will assume our lease. If a given lease, or guaranty of a lease, is not assumed, our cash flow and the amounts available to pay amounts due on our indebtedness may be materially adversely affected.
Multiple property leases with individual tenants increase our risks in the event that such tenants become financially impaired.
The value of our properties will depend principally upon the value of the leases entered into for the properties. Defaults by a tenant may continue for some time before we determine that it is in our best interest to terminate the lease of the tenant. Tenants may lease more than one property, and as a result, a default by, or the financial failure of, a tenant could cause more than one property to become vacant or be in default or more than one lease to become non-performing. Defaults or vacancies can reduce and have reduced our cash receipts and funds available for the payment of our indebtedness, and could decrease the resale value of affected properties until they can be re-leased.
We do not control the management of our properties.
In order to maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may not operate certain types of properties we acquire or participate in the decisions affecting their daily operations, except under certain circumstances discussed below. Our success, therefore, will depend on our ability to select qualified and creditworthy tenants and managers who can effectively manage and operate the properties. Our tenants will be responsible for maintenance and other day-to-day management of the properties and, because our revenues will largely be derived from rents, our financial condition will be dependent on the ability of third-party tenants and/or operators to operate the properties successfully. We attempt to enter into leasing agreements with tenants having substantial prior experience in the operation of the type of property being rented, however, there can be no assurance that our third-party tenants and/or operators will operate the properties successfully. Additionally, if we elect to treat property we acquire as a result of a tenant’s default on a lease as “foreclosure property” for federal income tax purposes, we will be required to operate that property through an independent contractor over whom we will not have control. If our tenants or third-party operators are unable to operate the properties successfully or if we select unqualified managers, then such tenants and operators might not be able to pay our rent, or generate sufficient property-level operating income for us, which could adversely affect our financial condition.
Adverse weather conditions may damage certain properties we own and/or reduce our operators’ ability to make scheduled rent payments to us.
Weather conditions may influence revenues at certain types of properties in our portfolio. These adverse weather conditions include heavy snowfall (or lack thereof), hurricanes, tropical storms, high winds, heat waves, frosts, drought (or reduced rainfall levels), excessive rain, avalanches, mudslides and floods. Adverse weather could reduce the number of people participating in activities at our properties. Certain properties may be susceptible to damage from weather conditions such as hurricanes, which may cause damage (including, but not limited to property damage and loss of revenue) that is not generally insurable at commercially reasonable rates. Further, the physical condition of our properties must be satisfactory to attract visitation. In addition to severe or generally inclement weather, other factors, including, but not limited to plant disease and insect infestation, as well as the quality and quantity of water, could materially adversely affect the conditions at our properties. Most properties have some insurance coverage that will offset such losses and fund needed repairs.
Potential losses may not be covered by insurance.
We maintain, or cause our operators to maintain, insurance including, but not limited to, liability, fire, wind, earthquake, and business income coverage on all of our properties that are not being leased on a triple-net basis under various insurance policies. We select policy specifications and insured limits which we believe to be appropriate and adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice. We do not carry insurance for generally uninsured losses such as loss from riots, terrorist threats, war or nuclear reaction. Most of our policies, like those covering losses due to floods, are insured subject to limitations involving large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits which may not be sufficient to cover losses. While we carry earthquake insurance on properties that are not being leased on a triple-net basis, the amount of our earthquake coverage may not be sufficient to fully cover losses from earthquakes. We could default under debt or other agreements if the cost and/or

10


availability of certain types of insurance make it impractical or impossible to comply with covenants relating to the insurance we are required to maintain under such agreements. In such instances, we may be required to self-insure against certain losses or seek other forms of financial assurance.
We may incur significant costs complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar laws.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or the ADA, all public accommodations must meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. We have not conducted an audit or investigation of all of our properties to determine our compliance with the ADA. If one or more of our properties does not comply with the ADA, then we would be required to incur additional costs to bring the property into compliance. Further, noncompliance with the ADA could result in imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. Additional federal, state and local laws also may require modifications to our properties or restrict our ability to renovate our properties. We cannot predict the ultimate cost of compliance with the ADA or other legislation. If we incur substantial costs to comply with the ADA and any other similar legislation, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially adversely affected.
Increased competition for customers may reduce the ability of certain of our operators to make scheduled rent payments to us.
The types of properties in which we invest are expected to face competition for customers from other similar properties, both locally and nationally. Any decrease in revenues due to such competition at any of our properties may adversely affect our operators’ ability to make scheduled rent payments to us, which may materially adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to pay amounts due on our indebtedness.
We have no economic interest in the land beneath ground lease properties in our portfolio.
A number of the properties that we have acquired are on land owned by a governmental entity or other third party, while we own a leasehold, permit, or similar interest. This means that while we have a right to use the property, we do not retain fee ownership in the underlying land. Accordingly, with respect to such properties, we have no economic interest in the land or buildings at the expiration of the ground lease or permit. As a result, although we share in the income stream derived from the lease or permit, we will not share in any increase in value of the land associated with the underlying property. Further, because we do not completely control the underlying land, the governmental or other third party owners that lease this land to us could take certain actions to disrupt our rights in the properties or our tenants’ operation of the properties or take the properties in an eminent domain proceeding. While we do not think such interruption is likely, such events are beyond our control. If the entity owning the land under one of our properties chose to disrupt our use either permanently or for a significant period of time, then the value of our assets could be impaired and our results of operations and ability to pay amounts due on our indebtedness, could be materially adversely affected.
Ski resorts and other types of properties in which we invest may not be readily adaptable to other uses.
Ski resorts and related properties and other types of properties in our portfolio are specific-use properties that have limited alternative uses. Therefore, if the operations of any of our properties in these sectors, such as our ski properties, become unprofitable for our tenant or operator due to industry competition, a general deterioration of the applicable industry or otherwise, such that the tenant becomes unable to meet its obligations under its lease, then we may have great difficulty re-leasing the property and the liquidation value of the property may be substantially less than would be the case if the property were readily adaptable to other uses. Should any of these events occur, our income and cash available to pay our indebtedness, and the value of our property portfolio, could be materially reduced.
Certain of our properties are subject to environmental liabilities that could significantly impact our return from the properties and the success of our ventures.
Operations at certain of our properties involve the use, handling, storage, and contracting for recycling or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, including environmentally sensitive materials such as herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, motor oil, waste motor oil and filters, transmission fluid, antifreeze, freon, waste paint and lacquer thinner, batteries, solvents, lubricants, degreasing agents, gasoline and diesel fuels, and sewage. Accordingly, the operations of certain properties in our portfolio are subject to regulation by federal, state, and local authorities establishing health and environmental quality standards. In addition, certain of our properties may maintain and operate underground storage tanks, or USTs, for the storage of various petroleum products. USTs are generally subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations that require testing and upgrading of USTs and the remediation of contaminated soils and groundwater resulting from leaking USTs.
As an owner of real estate, various federal and state environmental laws and regulations may require us to investigate and clean up certain hazardous or toxic substances, asbestos-containing materials, or petroleum products located on, in or emanating from our properties. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the release of hazardous substances. Asbestos-containing building materials are subject to management and maintenance requirements under environmental laws, and owners and operators may be subject to penalty for noncompliance. Environmental laws may allow suits by third parties for recovery from owners or operators for personal injury related to exposure to asbestos-containing building materials.

11


We may also be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and cleanup costs incurred by those parties in connection with the contamination. In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with the contamination. Other environmental laws impose liability on a previous owner of property to the extent hazardous or toxic substances were present during the prior ownership period. A transfer of the property may not relieve us of such liability; therefore, we may have liability with respect to properties that we or our predecessors sold in the past.
The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination at any of our properties may materially adversely affect our ability to sell or lease the properties or to borrow using the properties as collateral. Some of our tenants routinely handle hazardous substances and wastes at our properties. Environmental laws and regulations subject our tenants, and potentially us, to liability resulting from these activities or from previous activities at the properties. Environmental liabilities could also affect the ability of our tenants to meet their obligations to pay us for leasing the properties. While our leases generally provide that the tenant is solely responsible for any environmental hazards created during the term of the lease, we or an operator of a site may be liable to third parties for damages and injuries resulting from environmental contamination coming from the site.
All of our properties have been acquired subject to satisfactory Phase I environmental assessments, which assessments generally involve the inspection of site conditions without invasive testing such as sampling or analysis of soil, groundwater or other conditions, or satisfactory Phase II environmental assessments, which generally involve the testing of soil, groundwater or other conditions. In addition to the risks associated with potential environmental liabilities discussed above, compliance with environmental laws and regulations that govern our properties may require expenditures and modifications of development plans and operations that could have a materially detrimental effect on the operations of the properties and our financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to stockholders and amounts due on our indebtedness. There can be no assurance that the application of environmental laws, regulations or policies, or changes in such laws, regulations and policies, will not occur in a manner that could have a material detrimental effect on any of our properties.
Mold or other indoor air quality issues may exist or arise in the future at our properties, and they could result in our being liable for adverse health effects and remediation costs.
Excessive moisture accumulation in our buildings or on our building materials may trigger mold growth, and the problem may be exacerbated if the moisture is either undiscovered or not addressed immediately. Mold may emit airborne toxins or irritants. Inadequate ventilation, chemical contamination, and other biological contaminants (including pollen, viruses and bacteria) can also impair indoor air quality. Impaired indoor air quality may cause a variety of adverse health effects such as allergic reactions. If mold or other airborne contaminants exist or appear at our properties, we may have to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the contaminants or increase indoor ventilation. If indoor air quality were impaired, we could be liable to our tenants, their employees or others for property damage or personal injury.
Legislation and government regulation may adversely affect the development and operations of our properties.
In addition to being subject to environmental laws and regulations, certain of the development plans and operations conducted or to be conducted on our properties require permits, licenses and approvals from certain federal, state and local authorities. For example, ski resort operations often require federal permits from the U.S. Forest Service to use forests as ski slopes. Material permits, licenses or approvals may be terminated, not renewed or renewed on terms or interpreted in ways that are materially less favorable to the properties we purchase. Furthermore, laws and regulations that we or our operators are subject to may change in ways that are difficult to predict. There can be no assurance that the application of laws, regulations or policies, or changes in such laws, regulations and policies, will not occur in a manner that could have a material detrimental effect on our properties, the operations of our properties and the amount of rent we receive from our tenants.
Governmental regulation with respect to water use by ski resorts could negatively impact our ski resorts.
The rights of our ski resorts and related properties to use various water sources on or about their properties may also be subject to significant restrictions or the rights of other riparian users and the public generally. Certain ski resorts and related properties and the municipalities in which they are located may be dependent upon a single source of water, which sources could be historically low or inconsistent. Such a problem with water may lead to disputes and litigation over, and restrictions placed on, water use. Disputes and litigation over water use could damage the reputation of the ski resorts and related properties and could be expensive to defend, and together with restrictions placed on water use, could have a material adverse effect on the business and operating results of our ski resorts and related properties.
Financing Related Risks
Borrowing creates risks.
We have borrowed money to acquire assets, to preserve our status as a REIT, or for other corporate purposes. We generally mortgage or put a lien on one or more of our assets in connection with any borrowing. We also have obtained long-term financing. We may not borrow more than 300% of the value of our net assets without the approval of a majority of our independent directors and are

12


required to disclose the borrowing and to explain to our stockholders in our first quarterly report after such approval. Borrowing may be risky if the cash flow from our properties and other permitted investments is insufficient to meet our debt obligations. If we mortgage assets or pledge equity as collateral and we cannot meet our debt obligations, then the lender could take the collateral, and we would lose the asset or equity and the income we were deriving from the asset.
Our debt agreements may contain restrictive covenants relating to our operations, which could limit our ability to make distributions to stockholders and from making other types of payments and investments.
Loan documents we enter into may contain covenants that limit our ability to further mortgage a property or affect other operational policies. Such limitations would hamper our flexibility and may impair our ability to achieve our operating plans.
Disruption or volatility in the credit markets could affect our ability to obtain debt financing on reasonable terms, if at all.
The global and U.S. economy have shown some signs of improvement in recent years, however, concerns continue to exist about the strength of the recovery. If mortgage debt is limited or if we are unable to obtain favorable terms as a result of increased interest rates, increased credit spreads, decreased liquidity or other factors, we risk being unable to refinance our existing debt upon maturity.
Defaults on our borrowings may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Defaults on loans collateralized by a property we own may result in foreclosure actions and our loss of the property or properties securing the loan that is in default. Such legal actions are expensive. For tax purposes, a foreclosure would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt collateralized by the property. If the outstanding balance of the debt exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on the foreclosure and all or a portion of such taxable income may be subject to tax and/or required to be distributed to our stockholders in order for us to qualify as a REIT. In such case, we would not receive any cash proceeds to enable us to pay such tax or make such distributions. If any mortgages contain cross collateralization or cross default provisions, more than one property may be affected by a default. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default, our financial condition, results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to stockholders and amounts due on our indebtedness may be materially adversely affected.
Financing arrangements involving balloon payment obligations may adversely affect our ability to make distributions.
Some of our fixed-term financing arrangements require us to make balloon payments at maturity. Our ability to make a balloon payment at maturity is uncertain and may depend upon our ability to obtain additional financing or sell a particular property. At the time the balloon payment is due, we may not be able to refinance the balloon payment on terms as favorable as the original loan, or sell the property at a price sufficient to make the balloon payment. These refinancing or property sales could negatively impact the rate of return to stockholders and the timing of disposition of our assets. In addition, payments of principal and interest may leave us with insufficient cash to pay the distributions that we are required to pay to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments.
We have borrowed money that bears interest at a variable rate; and from time to time, we may incur mortgage loans or refinance our properties in a rising interest rate environment. Accordingly, increases in interest rates could increase our interest costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating cash flow and our ability to pay amounts due on our indebtedness.
We may acquire various financial instruments for purposes of hedging or reducing our risks which may be costly and/or ineffective and will reduce our cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
Use of derivative instruments for hedging purposes may present significant risks, including the risk of loss of the amounts invested. Defaults by the other party to a hedging transaction can result in the hedging transaction becoming worthless or a speculative hedge. Hedging activities also involve the risk of an imperfect correlation between the hedging instrument and the asset being hedged, which could result in losses both on the hedging transaction and on the asset being hedged. Use of hedging activities generally may not prevent significant losses and could increase our losses. Further, hedging transactions may reduce cash available to pay amounts due on our indebtedness.
Our level of indebtedness could materially adversely affect our financial condition.
Our level of indebtedness could have other important consequences and significant effects on our business. For example, our level of indebtedness and the terms of our debt agreements may:
make it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations under indebtedness and our contractual and commercial commitments and increase the risk that we may default on our debt obligations;
heighten our vulnerability to downturns in our business, our industry or in the general economy and restrict us from exploiting business opportunities or making acquisitions;
limit management’s discretion in operating our business;

13


require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, distributions and other general corporate purposes;
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;
limit our ability to borrow additional funds; and
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business, the industry in which we operate or the general economy.
Each of these factors may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and viability. Our ability to satisfy our debt obligations will depend on our future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors affecting our Company and industry, many of which are beyond our control.
Tax Related Risks
We may be subject to the prohibited transactions tax on the sale of our properties.
So long as we continue to qualify as a REIT, any net gain from “prohibited transactions” will be subject to a 100% tax. “Prohibited transactions” are sales of property, other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. The prohibited transactions tax is intended to prevent a REIT from retaining any profit from ordinary retailing activities. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provides for a “safe harbor” which, if all its conditions are met, would protect a REIT’s property sales from being considered prohibited transactions. Whether or not we obtain stockholder approval of the Plan of Dissolution, the gain we realize on the Sale may be treated as income attributable to a prohibited transaction and subject to a 100% tax. Whether property is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a REIT’s trade or business depends on all the facts and circumstances surrounding the particular transaction. We do not believe it should be viewed as having held any of such properties as inventory or otherwise primarily for sale to customers, and as such, do not believe that the Sale should be subject to the 100% tax. However, we can give no assurances that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) will not disagree and contend that one or more of these sales is subject to the 100% tax.
Pursuing the Plan of Dissolution may cause us to be subject to U.S. federal income tax, which would reduce the amount of our liquidating distributions.
We are generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent that we distribute to our stockholders during each taxable year (or, under certain circumstances, during the subsequent taxable year) dividends equal to our taxable income for the year. However, we are subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent that our taxable income exceeds the amount of dividends paid to our stockholders for the taxable year. In addition, we are subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which certain distributions paid by us with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income for that year, plus 95% of our capital gain net income for that year, plus 100% of our undistributed taxable income from prior years. While we intend to make distributions to our stockholders sufficient to avoid the imposition of any U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income and the imposition of the excise tax, differences in timing between the actual receipt of income and actual payment of deductible expenses, and the inclusion of such income and deduction of such expenses in arriving at our taxable income, could cause us to have to either borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet the REIT distribution requirements, find another alternative for meeting the REIT distribution requirements, or pay U.S. federal income and excise taxes. The cost of borrowing or the payment of U.S. federal income and excise taxes would reduce the funds available for distribution to our stockholders.
We will be subject to increased taxation if we fail to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
We believe that we have been organized and have operated, and intend to continue to be organized and to operate, in a manner that will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. In November 2016, we determined that we needed to accrue a provision for income tax in connection with retaining our REIT status. See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations – Provision for Income Taxes," for more information. A REIT generally must distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its taxable income each year, excluding net capital gains, and meet other compliance requirements. To the extent that a REIT does not distribute all of its net capital gain or distributes at least 90%, but less than 100%, of its taxable income, it will be subject to tax on the undistributed amounts at regular corporate tax rates. We have not requested, and do not plan to request, a ruling from the IRS stating that we qualify as a REIT. Our qualification as a REIT will depend on our continuing ability to meet highly technical and complex requirements concerning, among other things, the ownership of our outstanding shares of common stock, the nature of our assets, the sources of our income, the amount of our distributions to stockholders and the filing of TRS elections. No assurance can be given that we qualify or will continue to qualify as a REIT or that new legislation, Treasury Regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly change the tax laws with respect to our qualification as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, for any taxable year (i) we will be subject to federal income tax,

14


including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income for that year at regular corporate rates, (ii) unless entitled to relief under relevant statutory provisions, we will be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we lost our REIT status, and (iii) we will not be allowed a deduction for distributions made to stockholders in computing our taxable income. Therefore, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, the funds available to pay amounts due under our indebtedness may be reduced substantially for each of the years involved.
Our leases may be recharacterized as financings which would eliminate depreciation deductions on our properties.
We believe that we would be treated as the owner of properties where we would own the underlying land, except with respect to leases structured as “financing leases,” which would constitute financings for federal income tax purposes. If the lease of a property does not constitute a lease for federal income tax purposes and is recharacterized as a secured financing by the IRS, then we believe the lease should be treated as a financing arrangement and the income derived from such a financing arrangement should satisfy the 75% and the 95% gross income tests for REIT qualification as it would be considered to be interest on a loan collateralized by real property. Nevertheless, the recharacterization of a lease in this fashion may have adverse tax consequences for us. In particular, we would not be entitled to claim depreciation deductions with respect to the property (although we should be entitled to treat part of the payments we would receive under the arrangement as the repayment of principal). In such event, in some taxable years our taxable income, and the corresponding obligation to distribute 90% of such income, would be increased. With respect to leases structured as “financing leases,” we will report income received as interest income and will not take depreciation deductions related to the real property. Any increase in our distribution requirements may limit our ability to invest in additional properties and to make additional mortgage loans. No assurance can be provided that the IRS would recharacterize such transactions as financings that would qualify under the 95% and 75% gross income tests.
Excessive non-real estate asset values may jeopardize our REIT status.
In order to qualify as a REIT, among other requirements, at least 75% of the value of our assets must consist of investments in real estate, investments in other REITs, cash and cash equivalents and government securities. Accordingly, the value of any other property that is not considered a real estate asset for federal income tax purposes must represent in the aggregate not more than 25% of our total assets. In addition, under federal income tax law, we may not own securities in, or make loans to, any one company (other than a REIT, a qualified REIT subsidiary or a TRS) which represent in excess of 10% of the voting securities or 10% of the value of all securities of that company or which have, in the aggregate, a value in excess of 5% of our total assets, and we may not own securities of one or more TRSs which have, in the aggregate, a value in excess of 25% (20% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017) of our total assets. The 25%, 10% and 5% REIT qualification tests are determined at the end of each calendar quarter. If we fail to meet any such test at the end of any calendar quarter, and such failure is not remedied within 30 days after the close of such quarter, we will cease to qualify as a REIT, unless certain requirements are satisfied.
Despite our REIT status, we remain subject to various taxes which would reduce operating cash flow if and to the extent certain liabilities are incurred.
Even if we qualify as a REIT, we are subject to some federal, state and local and foreign taxes on our income and property that could reduce operating cash flow, including but not limited to: (i) tax on any undistributed REIT taxable income; (ii) “alternative minimum tax” on our items of tax preference; (iii) certain state income, franchise, and gross margins taxes (because not all states treat REITs the same as they are treated for federal income tax purposes); (iv) a tax equal to 100% of net gain from “prohibited transactions;” (v) tax on gains from the sale of certain “foreclosure property;” (vi) tax on gains of sale of certain “built-in gain” properties; and (vii) certain taxes and penalties if we fail to comply with one or more REIT qualification requirements, but nevertheless qualify to maintain our status as a REIT. Foreclosure property includes property with respect to which we acquire ownership by reason of a borrower’s default on a loan or possession by reason of a tenant’s default on a lease. We have made an election with respect to certain qualifying property and may elect to treat certain other qualifying property as “foreclosure property,” in which case, the income from such property will be treated as qualifying income under the 75% and 95% gross income tests for three years following such acquisition. To qualify for such treatment, we must satisfy additional requirements, including that we operate the property through an independent contractor after a short grace period. We will be subject to tax on our net income from foreclosure property. Such net income generally means the excess of any gain from the sale or other disposition of foreclosure property and income derived from foreclosure property that otherwise does not qualify for the 75% gross income test, over the allowable deductions that relate to the production of such income.
Our ownership of TRS is limited, and our transactions with our TRSs will cause us to be subject to a 100% penalty tax on certain income or deductions if those transactions are not conducted on arm’s length terms.
A REIT may own up to 100% of the stock of one or more TRSs. A TRS may hold assets and earn income that would not be qualifying assets or income if held or earned directly by a REIT. Both the subsidiary and the REIT must jointly elect to treat the subsidiary as a TRS. A corporation of which a TRS directly or indirectly owns more than 35% of the voting power or value of the stock will automatically be treated as a TRS. Overall, no more than 25% (20% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017) of the value of a REIT’s assets may consist of stock or securities of one or more TRSs. In addition, the rules applicable to TRSs limit the deductibility of interest paid or accrued by a TRS to its parent REIT to assure that the TRS is subject to an appropriate

15


level of corporate taxation. The rules also impose a 100% excise tax on “redetermined rent” or “redetermined deductions” to the extent rent paid by a TRS exceeds an arm’s-length amount, or (for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2015) redetermined taxable REIT subsidiary service income (defined as income of a TRS that is understated as a result of services provided to us or on our behalf).
Our TRSs will pay U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on their net taxable income, and their after-tax net income will be available for distribution to us but is not required to be distributed. We anticipate that the aggregate value of the stock and securities of our TRSs will be less than 20% (for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017) of the value of our total assets (including the stock and securities of our TRSs). Furthermore, we will monitor the value of our respective investments in our TRSs for the purpose of ensuring compliance with the ownership limitations applicable to TRSs. In addition, we will scrutinize all of our transactions with our TRSs to ensure that they are entered into on arm’s-length terms to avoid incurring the 100% excise tax described above. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to comply with the 25% limitation discussed above or to avoid application of the 100% excise tax discussed above. While we believe our leases have customary terms and reflect normal business practices and that the rents paid thereto reflect market terms, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree.
Legislative or regulatory action could adversely affect the returns to our stockholders.
In recent years, numerous legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been made in the provisions of the federal income tax laws applicable to investments similar to an investment in shares of our common stock. Additional changes to the tax laws are likely to continue to occur, and we cannot assure our stockholders that any such changes will not adversely affect the taxation of a stockholder. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our shares or on the market value or the resale potential of our assets. Our stockholders are urged to consult with their own tax advisor with respect to the impact of recent legislation on their investment in our shares and the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our shares.
Although REITs continue to receive substantially more favorable tax treatment than entities taxed as corporations, it is possible that future legislation would result in a REIT having fewer tax advantages, and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to be taxed for federal income tax purposes as a corporation. Our board of directors has fiduciary duties to us and our stockholders and could only cause such changes in our tax treatment if it determines in good faith that such changes are in the best interest of our stockholders.
Company Related Risks
We have paid and we may continue to pay distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations or funds from operation, which may reduce the amount of capital available for operations, may have negative tax implications, and may have a negative effect on the value of your shares under certain conditions.
Our organizational documents permit us to make distributions from any source, including cash flows from operating activities, proceeds from the sale of assets, borrowings from affiliates and other persons in anticipation of future net operating cash flow, which may be unsecured or secured by our assets, and proceeds of equity offerings. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, 43% of distributions were funded from cash flows from operating activities and 57.4% were funded from proceeds from the sale of real estate properties. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2012, 7.9% and 46.3%, respectively, of distributions were funded from borrowings. For the year ended December 31, 2013, 100.0% of distributions were funded from cash flows from operating activities.
Our distributions have exceeded our earnings and profits in the past and will likely do so in the future. To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash distributed in any given year exceeds the amount of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for the same period, the excess amount will be deemed a return of capital for federal income tax purposes, rather than a return on capital. Furthermore, in the event that we are unable to fund future distributions from our cash flows from operating activities, the value of your shares, the sale of our assets or any other liquidity event may be materially adversely affected. 
We rely on the senior management team of our Advisor, the loss of whom could significantly harm our business.
We depend to a significant extent on the efforts and abilities of the senior management team of our Advisor. These individuals are important to our business and strategy and to the extent that any one or more of them departs and are not replaced with qualified substitutes, such persons’ departures could harm our operations and financial condition.
Because not all REITs calculate modified funds from operations the same way, our use of modified funds from operations may not provide meaningful comparisons with other REITs.
We use modified funds from operations, or MFFO, and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other publicly registered, non-listed REITs, which intend to have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. However, not all REITs calculate MFFO the same way. If REITs use different methods of calculating MFFO, it may not be possible for investors to meaningfully compare the performance of certain REITs.

16


Non-traded REITs have been the subject of increased scrutiny by regulators and media outlets resulting from inquiries and investigations initiated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. and the Commission.
The Company’s securities, like other non-traded REITs, are sold through broker-dealers and financial advisors. Governmental and self-regulatory organizations like the Commission and self-regulatory organizations like Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) impose and enforce regulations on broker-dealers, investment advisers and similar financial services companies. In disciplinary proceedings in 2012, the Enforcement Division of FINRA required a broker-dealer to pay restitution to investors of a non-traded REIT in connection with the broker-dealer’s sale and promotion activities. FINRA has also filed complaints against a broker-dealer firm with respect to (i) its solicitation of investors to purchase shares in a non-traded REIT without conducting a reasonable inquiry of investor suitability and (ii) its provision of misleading distribution information. In March 2013, a non-traded REIT disclosed in a public filing with the Commission that it was the subject of a Commission investigation focused principally on the adequacy of certain of its disclosures and certain transactions involving affiliated non-traded REITs.
The above-referenced proceedings have resulted in increased regulatory scrutiny from the Commission regarding non-traded REITs. As a result of this increased scrutiny and accompanying negative publicity and coverage by media outlets, FINRA may impose additional restrictions on sales practices in the independent broker-dealer channel for non-traded REITs. If the Company becomes the subject of scrutiny, even if the Company has complied with all applicable laws and regulations, responding to such regulator inquiries could be expensive and distract the Company’s management.
Changes in accounting pronouncements could adversely impact our or our tenants’ reported financial performance.
Accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Commission, entities that create and interpret appropriate accounting standards, may change the financial accounting and reporting standards, or their interpretation and application of the standards that govern the preparation of our financial statements. Such changes could have a material impact on our reported financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in restating prior period financial statements. Similarly, these changes could have a material impact on our tenants’ reported financial condition or results of operations and affect their preferences regarding leasing real estate. In such event, tenants may determine not to lease properties from us, or, if applicable, not to exercise their option to renew their leases with us. This in turn could make it more difficult for us to enter into leases on terms we find favorable and impact the distributions to stockholders.
Cyber security risks and cyber incidents could adversely affect our business and disrupt operations.
Cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. These incidents can include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. The result of these incidents could include, but are not limited to, disrupted operations, misstated financial data, liability for stolen assets or information, increased cyber security protection costs, litigation and reputational damage adversely affecting customer or investor confidence.
If our risk management systems are ineffective, we may be exposed to material unanticipated losses.
We continue to refine our risk management techniques, strategies and assessment methods. However, our risk management techniques and strategies may not fully mitigate the risk exposure of our operations in all economic or market environments, or against all types of risk, including risks that we might fail to identify or anticipate. Any failures in our risk management techniques and strategies to accurately quantify such risk exposure could limit our ability to manage risks in our operations or to seek adequate risk-adjusted returns.
Risks Related to Our Valuation
Valuations and appraisals of our properties and real estate-related assets are estimates of value and may not necessarily correspond to realizable value.
On December 6, 2016, we publicly announced a new estimated net asset value ("NAV") as of November 30, 2016 of $2.10 per share after taking into account the proposed Sale and the payment of the special distribution to our stockholders on or about November 14, 2016. This estimated NAV per share represents the low end of the range of the estimated distributions receivable by our stockholders pursuant to the Plan of Dissolution announced by the Company on November 2, 2016. In determining the NAV per share, the board of directors considered various analyses and information including appraisals of our real estate assets by an independent appraisal firm affiliated with the independent investment banking firm that was engaged as our valuation advisor. The valuation methodologies used by the appraisal firm to value our real estate assets involve subjective judgments regarding such factors as discounted and terminal capitalization rates applied in the appraisals, estimates of future net operating income and unlevered cash flow for the properties and estimated net proceeds from the sale of the properties used in the discounted cash flow analysis within the appraisals. In addition, the appraisals and the board of directors took into account pending purchase prices for assets currently under contract or expected to be under contract and market indications of value derived from our strategic alternatives process. The value of our debt liabilities was estimated by our advisor by discounting the required payments under

17


the Company’s debt agreements using the estimated amortized balance of the loans as of the liquidation date assumed in the valuation. The valuation analyses performed are not necessarily indicative of actual values, trading values or actual future results of the Company’s real estate assets, debt liabilities and common stock that might be achieved, all of which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by the valuation report. The analyses do not purport to reflect the prices at which the properties may actually be sold and such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty. The actual value of the Company’s common stock may vary significantly depending on numerous factors that generally impact the price of securities, the financial condition of the Company and the state of the real estate industry more generally, including what a third-party would be willing to pay for the assets. There will be no retroactive adjustment in the valuation of the assets, the price of our shares of common stock or the price we paid to redeem shares of our common stock to the extent such valuations prove to not accurately reflect the true estimate of value. There will be no retroactive change to fees paid or payable to the advisor and the managing dealer. Prior to the time we began estimating our NAV per share, the price you paid for our common stock in our equity offerings was based on a number of factors, including what we believed investors would pay for our shares, estimated fees to be paid to third parties, to our Advisor and its affiliates, the expenses of our public offering and the funds we believed should be available for us to invest in properties, loans and other permitted investments. You may have paid more than realizable value for your investment.
Our estimated NAV per share is not subject to GAAP, will not be independently audited and will involve subjective judgments by parties involved in valuing our assets and liabilities.
Our methodology and our NAV per share are not subject to GAAP and will not be subject to independent audit. Our estimated NAV per share may differ from equity (net assets) reflected on our audited financial statements, even if we are required to adopt a fair value basis of accounting for GAAP financial statement purposes. Our estimated NAV per share is based, in part, on estimates of the values of our properties, consisting principally of illiquid real estate and other assets, and liabilities as of November 30, 2016. The valuation methodologies used by the independent investment banking firm retained by our board of directors to estimate the value of our properties, and the estimated NAV per shares as of November 30, 2016, involved subjective judgments, assumptions and opinions, which may or may not turn out to be correct.
The estimated NAV per share as of November 30, 2016 is not intended to be related to any analysis of individual asset values performed for financial statement purposes nor to the values at which individual assets may be carried on financial statements under GAAP. Accordingly, you will be relying entirely on our board of directors to adopt an appropriate valuation methodology and approve an appropriate estimated NAV per share, which may not correspond to realizable value upon a sale of our assets.
Our estimated NAV per share may change over time if the valuations of our properties materially change from prior valuations or the actual operating results materially differ from what we originally projected.
Subsequent estimated NAV per share may increase or decrease from the prior estimated NAV per share. Actual operating results may differ from what we originally projected, which may cause an increase or decrease in the estimated NAV per share.
Our estimated NAV per share may not be indicative of the price at which our shares would trade if they were actively traded.
Our board of directors determined our estimated NAV per share of our common stock utilizing a valuation report from an independent appraisal firm as valuation expert. Although we used guidelines recommended by the Investment Program Association for valuing issued or outstanding shares of non-traded real estate investment trusts such as us, our estimated NAV per share may not be indicative of either the price at which our shares would trade if they were listed on a national exchange or actively traded by brokers or of the proceeds that a stockholder would receive if we were liquidated or dissolved and the proceeds were distributed to our stockholders.
Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest and Our Relationships with Our Advisor and Its Affiliates
There may be conflicts of interest because of interlocking boards of directors with affiliated companies.
Thomas K. Sittema serves as our vice-chairman and as a director of our board of directors and concurrently serves as chairman and director of the boards of directors for CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc., CNL Growth Properties, Inc. and CNL Healthcare Properties II, Inc.
There will be competing demands on our officers and directors and they may not devote all of their attention to us which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Two of our directors, James M. Seneff, Jr. and Thomas K. Sittema are also officers and/or directors of our advisor and other affiliated entities and may experience conflicts of interest in managing us because they also have management responsibilities for other companies including companies that may invest in some of the same types of assets in which we may invest. In addition, substantially all of the other companies that they work for are affiliates of us and/or our advisor. For these reasons, all of these individuals will share their management time and services among those companies and us, and will not devote all of their attention to us and could take actions that are more favorable to the other companies than to us.

18


In addition, Stephen H. Mauldin, our president and chief executive officer, and our other officers serve as officers of, and devote time to, CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc., a public non-traded REIT, and CNL Healthcare Properties II, Inc., a corporation that intends to operate as a REIT (“CHP II”). Mr. Mauldin also serves as president and chief executive officer, and Tammy J. Tipton, our chief financial officer and treasurer, serves as chief financial officer and treasurer, and other officers may serve as officers of, and devote time to CNL Growth Properties, Inc., a public non-traded REIT. Mr. Mauldin, Ms. Tipton and other of our executive officers serve as officers of, and devote time to, other companies which may be affiliated with us in the future. These officers may experience conflicts of interest in managing us because they also have management responsibilities for CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc., CNL Growth Properties, Inc. and CHP II. For these reasons, these officers will share their management time and services between those entities and us, and will not devote all of their attention to us and could take actions that are more favorable to those entities than to us.
Our advisor and its affiliates, including all of our executive officers and our affiliated directors, will face conflicts of interest as a result of their compensation arrangements with us, which could result in actions that are not in the best interest of our stockholders.
Although our advisory agreement was amended in March 2014 to reduce asset management fees and eliminate acquisition fees on equity, performance fees, debt acquisition fees and disposition fees, we continue to pay our advisor and its affiliates substantial fees. These fees could influence their advice to us, as well as the judgment of affiliates of our advisor performing services for us. Among other matters, these compensation arrangements could affect their judgment with respect to:
the continuation, renewal or enforcement of our agreements with our advisor and its affiliates; and
borrowings to acquire assets, which increase the asset management fees payable to our advisor.
The fees our advisor receives in connection with transactions involving the purchase and management of our assets are not necessarily based on the quality of the investment or the quality of the services rendered to us. The basis upon which fees are calculated may influence our advisor to recommend riskier transactions to us.
None of the agreements with our Advisor or any other affiliates were negotiated at arm’s length.
Agreements with our Advisor, and its affiliates may contain terms that are not in our best interest and would not otherwise apply if we entered into agreements negotiated at arm’s length with unaffiliated third parties.
We will not be in privity of contract with service providers that may be engaged by our Advisor to perform advisory services and they may be insulated from liabilities to us, and our Advisor may have minimal assets with which to remedy any liabilities to us.
Our Advisor subcontracts with affiliated and unaffiliated service providers for the performance of substantially all or a portion of its advisory services. In the event our Advisor elects to subcontract with any service provider, our Advisor will enter into an agreement with such service provider and we will not be a party to such agreement. As a result, we will not be in privity of contract with any such service provider and, therefore, such service provider will have no direct duties, obligations or liabilities to us. In addition, we will have no right to any indemnification to which our advisor may be entitled under any agreement with a service provider. The service providers our advisor may subcontract with may be insulated from liabilities to us for services they perform, but may have certain liabilities to our advisor. Our advisor may have minimal assets with which to remedy any liabilities to us resulting under the advisory agreement.

FOOTNOTES:

As of December 31, 2016, we had recorded impairment provisions related to these properties. See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Impairment provisions” for additional information.
(2)
In April 2014, we foreclosed on an attractions property that served as collateral on one of our mortgage notes receivable.

Item 3.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may be a party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of, or incidental to the normal course of, our business, including proceedings to enforce our contractual or statutory rights. While we cannot predict the outcome of these legal proceedings with certainty, based upon currently available information, we do not believe the final outcome of any pending or threatened legal proceeding will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

PART II
Item 5.
MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
There is no established public trading market for our common stock, therefore, there is a risk that a stockholder may not be able to sell our stock at a time or price acceptable to the stockholder, or at all. Unless and until our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, it is not expected that a public market for the shares will develop.
On August 22, 2013, we adopted a valuation policy (the “Valuation Policy”) consistent with Investment Program Association, a trade association for non-listed direct investment vehicles (“IPA”), Practice Guideline 2013-01, Valuations of Publicly Registered Non-Listed REITs, which was issued by the IPA in April 2013 (the “IPA Guidelines”).
Background and Conclusion
To assist our board of directors and the valuation committee, which is comprised solely of the Company’s independent directors (the “Valuation Committee”), in establishing the estimated 2016 net asset value (the “2016 NAV”) per share of the Company’s common stock as of November 30, 2016 (the “Valuation Date”), the Advisor prepared an analysis (the “Valuation Analysis”) based on the gross aggregate purchase price of $830.0 million set forth in the Sale Agreement as well as cash on hand and other adjustments. The Advisor provided the Valuation Analysis to the Valuation Committee and the board of directors.
The Valuation Committee and the board of directors reviewed the Valuation Analysis and considered the material assumptions relating thereto. Upon due consideration, on December 5, 2016 the Valuation Committee recommended to the board of directors, and the board of directors subsequently approved, an estimated 2016 NAV as of November 30, 2016 of $2.10 per share. The 2016 NAV deviates from our valuation policy which requires valuation as of December 31 each year and from the recommendations and methodologies of the IPA by including estimated costs and fees to consummate the transactions under the Sale Agreement and the Plan of Dissolution. The 2016 NAV is an Advisor-led interim valuation based on the execution of the Sale Agreement and related events.
Valuation Methodologies
In preparing the Valuation Analysis, the Advisor utilized the following:
the Sale Agreement;
the Company’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2016, as adjusted for estimated contingencies, costs and operations based on an estimated closing date under the Sale Agreement of March 31, 2017 and the Plan of Dissolution by year end 2017; and
the Company’s reports filed with the SEC.
The value of the Company’s shares will fluctuate over time as a result of, among other things, developments related to individual assets and responses to the real estate and capital markets.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
None.
Secondary Sales of Registered Shares between Investors
For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we are aware of transfers of 1,396,067 and 3,316,329 shares between investors, respectively. We are not aware of any other trades of our shares. The following table reflects, for each calendar quarter, the high, the low and the average sales prices for transfers of shares between investors during 2016 and 2015 of which we are aware, net of commissions:

Distributions
We declared and paid distributions to stockholders on a quarterly basis through November 2016. In November 2016, as part of entering into the Sale Agreement to sell our remaining 36 properties, our board of directors approved the suspension of our quarterly cash distributions on our common stock effective as of the fourth quarter of 2016. The amount of distributions declared to our stockholders through the suspension of our quarterly cash distribution was determined by our board of directors and was dependent upon a number of factors, including:
Sources of cash available for distribution such as expected cash flows from operating activities, Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”), on a rolling 12 month basis; and
Other factors such as the reduced earnings base and cash flow from the disposition of properties as part of our Exit Strategy, our objective of continuing to qualify as a REIT, capital requirements, the general economic environment and other factors.
During 2014, our board of directors declared quarterly distributions of $0.10625 per share. In March 2015, our board of directors reduced distributions per share to $0.05 on a quarterly basis due to selling our golf portfolio and other individual assets during 2014, the repayment of two mortgage notes receivable in 2014, the expected sale of our senior housing portfolio and other assets in 2015, cash needs for routine capital expenditures and the associated impact of asset sales on our operating cash flows. The reduction was made to ensure that the level of cash distributions were consistent with our projected reduction in our remaining earnings base and cash flows. In November 2016, the board of directors suspended our quarterly cash distributions effective with the fourth quarter distribution in light of the Sale Agreement described in Item 1. "Business." In November 2016 and December 2015, the board of directors declared special distributions of $0.50 and $1.30 per share, respectively, payable to stockholders of record of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on November 1, 2016 and December 4, 2015, respectively. The distributions were paid in cash using proceeds from the sales of real estate assets.
The tax composition of our distributions declared for year ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 were as follows:

In determining the apportionment between taxable income and a return of capital, the amounts distributed to stockholders (other than any amounts designated as capital gains dividends) in excess of current or accumulated Earnings and Profits (“E&P”) are treated as a return of capital to the stockholders. E&P is a statutory calculation, which is derived from net income and determined in accordance with the Code. It is not intended to be a measure of the REIT’s performance, nor do we consider it to be an absolute measure or indicator of our source or ability to pay distributions to stockholders. Refer to Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Distributions” for further information.
The table in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Distributions” presents total distributions declared, including cash distributions, distributions reinvested,

As of December 31, 2016, we had 93,810 common stockholders of record.

FOOTNOTES:
(1)
We evaluated the carrying value of our properties for impairment and determined that the carrying value on some of our properties were not recoverable and recorded impairment provisions of approximately $8.1 million, $124.9 million, $30.4 million, $50.0 million and $10 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Certain of our tenants have experienced financial difficulties and have defaulted on their leases. We recorded $8.9 million and $1.6 million, for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2012, respectively, on loss on lease termination. However, we did not record any gain or loss on lease terminations for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded a net gain on lease termination of approximately $3.9 million as a result of terminating our lease related to an attractions property in Hawaii in exchange for receiving an intangible trade name. In addition, we recorded loan loss provisions of approximately $9.3 million, $3.3 million, $3.1 million and $1.7 million on mortgages and other notes receivable that were deemed uncollectible for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We did not have any loans receivable during the year ended December 31, 2016.
(2)
Included in discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 are impairment provisions of approximately $7.7 million, $37.9 million, $219.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, relating to certain properties where we determined the carrying value was not recoverable based on an analysis comparing estimated and current projected undiscounted cash flows, including estimated net sales proceeds, of the properties over their remaining useful lives to the net carrying values of the properties. No impairment provisions were included in discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. Additionally, included in discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 are gains of approximately $9.7 million, $200.2 million, $4.1 million, $2.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, from the sale of properties that were classified as discontinued operations.
In accordance with GAAP, we have reclassified and included the results of operations from the properties classified as assets held for sale which qualified as discontinued operations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-08 as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.
(3)
Prior to the fourth quarter of 2016, cash distributions were declared by the board of directors quarterly and generally were based on various factors, including actual and future expected net cash from operations, FFO and MFFO, and our general financial condition, among others. In November 2016, as part of entering into the Sale Agreement to sell our remaining 36 properties and approving our Plan of Dissolution, our board of directors suspended our quarterly cash distributions and approved a Special Distribution of $0.50 per share to stockholders. In addition to quarterly cash distributions, in 2015 the board of directors also declared a special cash distribution of $1.30 per share. For the year ended December 31, 2016, approximately 1.2% and 0.2% of the distributions paid to stockholders were considered ordinary income and qualified dividends, respectively, and approximately 98.6% were considered a return of capital to stockholders for federal income tax purposes. For the year ended December 31, 2015, approximately 28.0% and 18.3% of the distributions paid to stockholders were considered ordinary income and capital gain, respectively, as a result of the net gain on sales of our interest in one unconsolidated joint venture and 55 consolidated properties, and approximately 53.7% were considered a return of capital to stockholders for federal income tax purposes. For each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2012, none of the distributions paid to stockholders were considered taxable income and approximately 100.0% were considered a return of capital to stockholders for federal income tax purposes. For the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 29.3% of the distributions paid to stockholders were considered capital gain as a result of the gain on the sale of our three unconsolidated senior housing joint ventures and approximately 70.7% were considered a return of capital to stockholders for federal income tax purposes. We have not treated such amounts as a return of capital for purposes of calculating the stockholders’ return on their invested capital, as described in our advisory agreement.
(4)
Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, National Association Real Estate Investment Trusts “NAREIT” promulgated a measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to net income or loss as determined under GAAP.
We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, real estate impairment write-downs, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.

We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: MFFO, or the Practice Guideline, issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of GAAP net income or loss: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to the write-off of deferred rent receivables and other lease-related assets as well as amortization of above and below market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to remove the impact of GAAP straight-line adjustments from rental revenues); accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income or loss from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, and unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, nonrecurring unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as

27


well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized. While we are responsible for managing interest rate, hedge and foreign exchange risk, we do retain an outside consultant to review all of our hedging agreements. Inasmuch as interest rate hedges are not a fundamental part of our operations, we believe it is appropriate to exclude such non-recurring gains and losses in calculating MFFO, as such gains and losses are not reflective of on-going operations.
See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional disclosures relating to FFO and MFFO.

The decline in Total Assets year over year is primarily due to the sale of real estate in accordance with our exit strategy. During 2013, we sold our interest in three unconsolidated senior housing joint ventures and sold four consolidated properties. During 2014, we sold our entire golf portfolio (consisting of 48 properties) and our multi-family development property. During 2015, we sold our 81.98% interest in the DMC Partnership and we sold 55 consolidated properties. During 2016, we sold our remaining five marina properties, our unimproved land and our seven ski and mountain lifestyle properties that were owned through the Intrawest Venture. See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” for additional information.

The balance sheet data for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 does not reflect the reclassification of loan costs, net, in accordance with our adoption of the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issue Costs," and ASU No. 2015-15, "Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements" on January 1, 2016.
Item 7.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. is a Maryland corporation incorporated on August 11, 2003. We were formed primarily to acquire lifestyle properties in the United States that we generally leased on a long-term, triple-net basis (generally five to 20 years, plus multiple renewal options) to tenants or operators that we consider to be industry leading. When beneficial to our investment structure or as a result of tenant defaults, we engaged third-party managers to operate certain properties on our behalf as permitted under applicable tax regulations. We engaged CNL Lifestyle Advisor Corporation (the “Advisor”) as our Advisor to provide management, disposition, advisory and administrative services.
As part of Our Exit Strategy described below, in November 2016, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of our remaining 36 properties (the "Sale Agreement") for approximately $830.0 million, as previously disclosed on Form 8-K filed on November 2, 2016. In connection with the transaction contemplated by the Sale Agreement, in November 2016, our board of directors approved a plan of liquidation and dissolution (the "Plan of Dissolution") and also approved the suspension of our quarterly cash distribution on our common stock effective as of the fourth quarter distribution.
At a special stockholders' meeting held on March 24, 2017, our stockholders approved:
the sale of all of our remaining properties (the “Sale”) to EPR Properties, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“EPR”), and Ski Resort Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company affiliated with Och-Ziff Real Estate (“SRH”), pursuant to the Sale Agreement and
the Plan of Dissolution, including our complete liquidation and dissolution contemplated thereby, subject to the approval of the Sale and following the closing of the Sale. 
Upon consummation of the Sale, which we expect to occur in the second quarter of 2017, we will receive approximately $830 million, which is estimated to be paid (i) approximately $183 million in cash, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Sale Agreement and (ii) approximately $647 million of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of beneficial interest of EPR (“EPR common shares”). The number of EPR common shares to be received by us will be determined by dividing approximately $647 million by the volume weighted average price per EPR common share on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) for the ten business days ending on the second business day before the closing of the Sale (the “Closing VWAP”), provided that (i) if the Closing VWAP is less than $68.25, then the calculation will be made as if the Closing VWAP were $68.25 and (ii) if the Closing VWAP is greater than $82.63, then the calculation will be made as if the Closing VWAP were $82.63. We anticipate distributing to stockholders the EPR common shares (and a portion of the cash consideration after repayment of associated liabilities) within two weeks after the closing.
Upon consummation of the Sale, we will transfer all of our remaining properties to EPR and SRH, as applicable, and we will continue to exist as a separate legal entity until our subsequent liquidation and dissolution pursuant to the Plan of Dissolution.
We currently operate and have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax at the corporate level to the extent that we distribute at least 100% of our REIT taxable income and capital gains to our stockholders and meet other compliance requirements. We are subject to income taxes on taxable income from certain properties operated by third-party managers. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on all of our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which our qualification is lost. Such an event could

28


materially and adversely affect our operating results and cash flows. We are organized and believed we had operated in a manner to qualify for treatment as a REIT beginning with the year ended December 31, 2004. In November 2016, we determined that we needed to accrue a provision for income tax in connection with retaining our REIT status, as described further below in "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Uses of Liquidity and Capital Resources." We intend to continue to be organized and to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
Our Exit Strategy
We began a process of evaluating strategic alternatives in an effort to provide stockholders with liquidity of their investment. In connection with these objectives, in March 2014, we engaged Jefferies LLC ("Jefferies") and formed a special committee comprised solely of our independent directors to assist management and the board of directors in actively evaluating various strategic opportunities. In connection with this process, between 2014 and 2015, we sold 104 properties and also sold our 81.98% interest in the DMC Partnership, an unconsolidated joint venture that owned and operated the Dallas Market Center (the “DMC Partnership”), for aggregate net sales proceeds of approximately $1.5 billion. We used the net sales proceeds from the sale of these properties to repay indebtedness during 2014 and 2015. In accordance with our undertaking to provide stockholders with partial liquidity, we also used a portion of net sales proceeds received from the sale of properties during the year ended December 31, 2015 to make a special distribution to stockholders of approximately $422.7 million during December 2015.
During 2016, we completed the sale of our remaining five marina properties and our unimproved land for more than their carrying value. Additionally, in April 2016 we acquired our co-venture partner’s 20% interest in the Intrawest Venture and subsequently in October 2016, we sold the seven ski and mountain lifestyle properties, which were owned through the Intrawest Venture, at their net carrying value. As of December 31, 2016, we held ownership interests in 36 properties.
As described above, in November 2016, we entered into the Sale Agreement for the sale of our remaining 36 properties for approximately $830.0 million. In connection with the transaction contemplated by the Sale Agreement, in November 2016, our board of directors approved the Plan of Dissolution. The board of directors also declared a special cash distribution of $162.6 million, or $0.50 per share. In addition, in light of the Plan of Dissolution, our board of directors also approved the suspension of our quarterly cash distribution on our common stock effective as of the fourth quarter 2016 distribution.
As of March 16, 2017, our remaining portfolio of 36 lifestyle properties, when aggregated by initial purchase price, was diversified as follows: approximately 58% in ski and mountain lifestyle and 42% in attractions.
Portfolio Trends
The majority of properties in our real estate portfolio are operated by third-party tenant operators under long-term triple-net leases for which we report rental income and are not directly exposed to the variability of property-level operating revenues and expenses. We also engage third-party managers to operate certain properties on our behalf for which we record the property-level operating revenues and expenses and are directly exposed to the variability of the property’s operations which impacts our results of operations. We believe that the financial and operational performance of our tenants and managers, and the general conditions of the industries within which they operate, provide indicators about our tenants’ health and their ability to pay contractually obligated rent. For example, positive growth in visitation and per capita spending may result in our receipt of additional percentage rent and, conversely, declines may impact our tenants’ ability to pay rent to us.
The following table illustrates property level revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) reported to us by our tenants and managers for the asset types below and includes both our leased and managed properties. We have only included property-level operating performance for consolidated properties (for all periods presented) in the table below. Our tenants and managers are contractually required to provide this information to us in accordance with their respective lease and management agreements. While this information has not been audited, it has been reviewed by management to determine whether the information is reasonable and accurate in all material respects. In connection with this review, management reviews monthly property level operating performance versus budgeted expectations, conducts periodic operational review calls with operators and conducts periodic property inspections. We monitor the credit of our tenants by reviewing their rental payment history, timeliness of rent collections, their operational performance on our properties and by monitoring news and industry reports regarding our tenants and their underlying businesses. We have aggregated this performance data on a “same-store” basis only for comparable properties that we have owned during the entirety of all periods presented. We have not included performance data on acquisitions or dispositions made after January 1, 2014 because we did not own those properties during the entirety of all periods presented below. For these reasons, we consider the property level data to be performance information that gives us information on trends which does not directly represent our results of operations. We do not consider this information to be a non-GAAP measure which can be reconciled to our GAAP financial statements because it includes the performance of properties that are leased to third-party tenants. However, we believe this information is useful to help readers of our financial statements understand and evaluate trends, events and uncertainties in our business as it relates to our prior periods and to broader industry performance (in thousands):

FOOTNOTE:

Excludes property operating results for one attractions property which was not owned for all periods presented.
(2)
Property operating results for tenants under leased arrangements are not included in the company’s operating results. Property-level EBITDA above is disclosed before rent and capital reserve payments to us, as applicable.
Overall, for the year ended December 31, 2016, our same-store tenants and managers reported to us an increase in property level revenue and property-level EBITDA of 9.2% and 15.0% respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in property-level revenue was primarily attributable to our ski and mountain lifestyle properties. Results of the 2015/16 winter season reflect varying performance between our Western and Northeastern ski resorts, with further distinction between northern and southern resorts within those larger geographic areas. In the West, our resorts in Northern California, the Pacific Northwest, and British Columbia performed exceptionally well due to a generally strong start to the season, coupled with numerous well-timed snowstorms throughout the winter, bringing ample snowfall to ski areas in those regions. In the Pacific Northwest, one of our resorts set an all-time skier visit record, while another one of our resorts set an all-time revenue mark. In Southern California, one of our properties did not see the above-average snowfall typical of the El Niño weather pattern forecasted for 2016 and was forced to close in late February 2016 despite having an improved 2015/16 season-to-date compared to the prior two winters. Resorts in the Tahoe region of Northern California once again saw a more normalized snowfall pattern and performed well throughout the 2015/16 season. Our resorts in the Rocky Mountain region had robust performance from start to finish, with one of our resorts benefiting from additional visitation by destination guests to Utah’s Wasatch Mountains. In the Northeast, warmer temperatures, considerable rain and significantly less snowfall than average, constrained skier visits throughout New England, particularly at those resorts in southern Vermont, southern New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. The remaining three resorts located in northern New Hampshire and Maine fared better once colder temperatures arrived in January 2016 and snowmaking efforts commenced in earnest, drawing skier visits from other resorts in the more southerly parts of New England which were not able to provide a consistent on-snow experience. Revenues for the 2016/17 ski season that started in the fourth quarter of 2016 exceeded the prior year revenues for the same period by approximately 11.8% primarily due to ample natural snowfall at most Western ski resorts and favorable snowmaking conditions at Northeastern resorts, with generally on-time openings amongst all resort areas. Much of the revenue gains for the ski portfolio came from the Northeastern region, where the fourth quarter of 2015 saw many of those resorts opening late and with limited terrain due to the poor weather conditions to start the season. A strong holiday period capped the fourth quarter of 2016 with resorts in both Western and Northeastern regions turning in favorable performances as compared to the prior year holiday period.
As for our attractions properties, some parks offer holiday events through the fall and winter, but generally our operations are mostly complete for the waterparks by the close of the third quarter. Revenue decreases were primarily attributable to several parks in Texas and Washington where unseasonable rain and cool temperatures resulted in lower daily visitation. The decrease to prior year in property-level EBITDA was caused mainly by the decrease in revenues and minimum wage increases.
Overall, for the year ended December 31, 2015, our same-store tenants and managers reported to us an increase in revenue and property-level EBITDA of 0.9% and 2.7%, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in property-level revenue was primarily attributable to our attractions properties. Our attractions properties exhibited an increase due to higher ticket sales and in-park spending. The increase was partly offset by a decrease from our ski and mountain lifestyle properties. Even though most of our ski resorts on the East Coast recorded record revenues for the ski season that ended in April 2015 due to ample snowfall and long stretches of ideal snowmaking temperatures, these positive results were not enough to offset the effects of a

30


fourth year of California drought and record warm winter temperatures, which resulted in an all-time record low snowfall that affected our ski property resorts in the Pacific Northwest. Summer revenues met or exceeded prior year revenues in the East, where our ski resorts offer a range of summer revenue-generating activities. While the same is true for the two western CNL resorts, Crested Butte and Northstar, the remaining five offer few or no summer activities. Revenues for the ski season that started in the fourth quarter of 2015 exceeded the prior year revenues particularly in California and the Pacific Northwest, with snowfalls returning due to a pronounced El Nino effect. However, the same weather phenomenon caused a snow drought and record warm temperatures in the East, offsetting in part the effects of the highly favorable early season snow conditions in the West.
We continue to closely monitor the performance of all tenants, their financial strength and their ability to pay rent under the leases for our properties. Our asset managers review operating results and rent coverage compared to budget for each of our properties on a monthly basis, monitor the local and regional economy, competitor activity, and other environmental, regulatory or operating conditions for each property, make periodic site visits and engage in regular discussions with our tenants.
Seasonality
Our ski properties and our attractions properties in which we invest experience seasonal fluctuations due to the nature of their business, geographic location, climate and weather patterns. As a result, these businesses experience seasonal variations in revenues that may require our tenants to supplement operating cash from their properties in order to be able to make scheduled rent payments to us. We have structured the leases for certain tenants such that rents are paid on a seasonal schedule with most, if not all, of the rent being paid during the tenant’s seasonally busy operating period.
As part of our portfolio diversification strategy, we considered the varying and complimentary seasonality of our ski and attractions properties. For example, the peak operating season for our ski and mountain lifestyle assets is highly complementary to the peak seasons for our attractions to balance and mitigate the risks associated with seasonality. Generally, seasonality does not significantly affect our recognition of rental income from operating leases due to straight-line revenue recognition in accordance with GAAP. However, seasonality does impact the timing of when base rent payments are made by our tenants, which impacts our operating cash flows and the amount of rental revenue we recognize in connection with capital improvement reserve revenue and percentage rents paid by our tenants, which is recognized in the period in which it is earned and is generally based on a percentage of tenant revenues.
In addition, seasonality directly impacts certain of our attractions properties where we engage independent third-party operators to manage the properties on our behalf and where we record property operating revenues and expenses rather than straight-line rents from operating leases. These properties will likely generate net operating losses during their non-peak months while generating most, if not all, of their operating income during their peak operating months. Our consolidated operating results and cash flows during the first, second and fourth quarters will be lower than the third quarter primarily due to the non-peak operating months of our larger attractions properties.
Loan Foreclosures, Tenant Workouts, Provisions and Impairments
As described above under "Our Exit Strategy," in November 2016, we entered into the Sale Agreement for the sale of our remaining 36 properties and in connection therewith we determined that the carrying value of certain properties exceeded the estimated sales price less costs to sell. As a result, at December 31, 2016, we recorded approximately $8.1 million of impairment provisions to write down the book values of certain properties to the sales price expected under the Sale Agreement less costs to sell. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we recorded impairments of approximately $132.6 million and $68.3 million, respectively, to write down the book values of certain properties to estimated fair values based on either discounted cash flows or estimated sales prices from third party buyers less costs to sell. As described above under “Our Exit Strategy”, we actively evaluated various strategic alternatives to provide liquidity to our stockholders. As part of this process, we reviewed the operating performance for each property, developed projected cash flows that used revised assumptions to include projected capital improvement costs to remain competitive, and to retain and enhance visitations and attendance at our ski and attractions properties. We evaluated these revised cash flow projections and reviewed materials provided by our global investment banking and advisory firm, including revised market assumptions and other indications of value received in connection with our strategic alternatives process from several potential buyers, to determine whether it was likely that their carrying value would be recoverable. The revised cash flows also reflected the restructure of our leases with one tenant on three attractions properties, as described below.
During 2014, one of our ski tenants with two leases on properties in the Pacific-Northwest began experiencing financial difficulties and was unable to pay rent in 2015 due to lower operating results from the low levels of snow accompanied by unusually warm weather. Due to their financial difficulty and the continued low level of snow during the first quarter of 2015 at these two locations, we recorded a loss on lease termination of approximately $8.9 million (representing the write-off of straight-line rents) during 2014. Additionally, during 2015 we reserved their outstanding 2015 rent related receivables relating to the ski season that ended through April 2015 and recorded bad debt expense of approximately $8.5 million due to uncertainty of collectability. Even though these properties experienced improved snowfall levels during the 2015/16 ski season, due to this tenant's continued financial difficulties we recorded bad debt expense of approximately $1.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 due to uncertainty of collectability from this tenant. Based on weather challenges impacting different regions, additional tenants may experience

31


financial hardships and be unable to make payments under their leases, which may result in additional losses on lease terminations and bad debt expense.
During 2015, we restructured the leases with one tenant relating to three attractions properties and reduced 2015 and 2016 rents due, including percentage rent, by approximately $1.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
During 2015, we received an early repayment of both of our mortgage receivables at discounted amounts and recorded loan loss provisions of approximately $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. We collected the remaining balance of approximately $9.8 million as full satisfaction of the notes during 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded loan loss provisions of approximately $3.3 million, relating to our mortgage and other notes receivable with one of our golf operators, as a result of uncertainty related to the collectability of the note receivable. We collected the remaining $1.3 million balance of the note as full satisfaction of the note during 2014. During 2014, we also foreclosed on an attractions property and recorded the collateral at approximately $7.9 million, which approximated the carrying value of the loan.
Litigation
From time to time, we may be a party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of, or incidental to the normal course of, our business, including proceedings to enforce our contractual or statutory rights. While we cannot predict the outcome of these legal proceedings with certainty, based upon currently available information, we do not believe the final outcome of any pending or threatened legal proceeding will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
Our principal demand for funds are for operating expenses, debt service and, prior to the suspension of our cash distribution policy in November 2016, as described above in “Our Exit Strategy”, was for cash distributions to stockholders. Generally, our cash needs have been covered by cash generated from our investments including rental income and property operating income from managed properties. As described above in “Our Exit Strategy”, we used the net sales proceeds received from the sales of assets to retire indebtedness, make special distributions to our stockholders, enhance existing assets or for other corporate purposes. Having obtained stockholder approval on March 24, 2017 on the Sale Agreement, we intend to consummate the Sale during the second quarter of 2017 and use net sales proceeds from the Sale of our assets to repay indebtedness, satisfy all of our liabilities and pay liquidating distributions to our stockholders.
We believe that current liquidity needs for operating expenses and debt service will be adequately covered by cash generated from our investments. We extended the maturity date on two loans from April 2017 to October 2017. Our liquidity needs will be reduced upon consummation of the Sale described above under Our Exit Strategy.
Cash Flows. Our primary sources of cash have included rental income from operating leases, property operating revenues and proceeds from the sales of properties, and through 2015, also included collection of principal and interest on loans we made, distributions from our unconsolidated entities and borrowings under our revolving line of credit, offset by payments made for operating expenses, including property operating expenses, asset management fees to our Advisor, debt service payments (principal and interest), real estate investments (including capital expenditures) and distributions (through the suspension of our quarterly distribution in November 2016).

Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities. Net cash provided from operating activities increased $27.4 million, or 43.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. The increase is primarily attributable to (i) a decrease in interest expense on our indebtedness due to a decrease in weighted average debt outstanding, (ii) a decrease in asset management fees to our Advisor due to a decrease in average assets under management and (iii) an increase in net rental income related to the consolidated operations of the seven properties held by the Intrawest Venture during the period April 2016 through October 2016. The increases

32


were partially offset by (i) a reduction in net operating income from managed properties due to the sale of six and 37 properties in 2016 and 2015, respectively, and (ii) a reduction in distributions received from our unconsolidated joint ventures as a result of the sale of our interest in one unconsolidated joint venture in April 2015.
Proceeds from Sales of Real Estate and an Unconsolidated Entity. As described above in “Our Exit Strategy”, we engaged Jefferies to assist management and our board of directors in actively evaluating various strategic opportunities including the sale of our assets. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we received aggregate net sales proceeds of approximately $148.3 million, $992.7 million and $384.3 million, respectively, from the sale of 13, 55 and 49 properties, respectively. We used the net sales proceeds from the sales of the properties to pay down the indebtedness associated with the properties sold and to pay off our line of credit, repurchase our senior unsecured notes and make a special distribution to our stockholders, as further described below under “Uses of Liquidity and Capital Resources.” During the year ended December 31, 2015, we received approximately $139.5 million from the sale of our 81.98% interest in the DMC Partnership. We did not sell any interests in unconsolidated joint ventures during 2016 and 2014.
Proceeds from Insurance – Hurricane, Storm and Other Damage. Several of our properties were impacted by storms and other events during 2016, 2015 and 2014. We maintain insurance coverage on these properties and filed property insurance claims to cover the cost of the required repairs. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we collected approximately $1.7 million, $4.7 million and $10.2 million, respectively, in insurance proceeds for damages to these properties.
Proceeds from Mortgages and Other Notes Receivable. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we received approximately $9.8 million and $83.5 million, respectively, from repayment of loans receivable. We did not have any mortgages and other notes receivable outstanding as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Distributions from Unconsolidated Entities. We were entitled to receive quarterly cash distributions from our two unconsolidated entities to the extent there was cash available to distribute. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we received distributions of approximately $1.1 million, $13.1 million and $13.5 million, respectively, from investments in seven, eight and eight properties, respectively. In April 2016, we acquired the remaining 20% non-controlling interest from our co-venture partner of the Intrawest Venture, in accordance with the buy-sell provisions of the Intrawest Venture partnership agreement. As a result of owning a combined 100% controlling interest in the Intrawest Venture, we began consolidating all of the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Intrawest Venture. The reduction in distributions received for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015 was the result of the sale of our 81.98% interest in DMC Partnership to our co-venture partner in April 2015, which was partially offset by an increase in distributions from our interest in the Intrawest Venture in 2015 due to the removal of restrictions on cash available for distribution resulting from the repayment of debt by the Intrawest Venture, as described below in “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Investments in Unconsolidated Entities.” We did not own any investments in unconsolidated entities effective April 2016 and will no longer receive distributions from unconsolidated entities in the future.
Cash Assumed through Purchase of Controlling Interest of Investment in Unconsolidated Entity. As described above, in April 2016 we purchased our co-venture partner’s 20% interest in the Intrawest Venture for a nominal amount. As part of the acquisition, we assumed approximately $11.9 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan. In 2011, we completed our final offering and subsequently filed registration statements on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to register the sale of shares of common stock under our DRP. On September 4, 2014, our board of directors approved the suspension of our DRP effective as of September 26, 2014. As a result of the suspension of the DRP, beginning with the September 2014 quarterly distributions, stockholders who were participants in the DRP received cash distributions instead of additional shares in the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we raised approximately $27.2 million through the DRP. We did not raise any proceeds from our DRP during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Borrowings. We borrowed money to fund ongoing enhancements to our portfolio, pay certain related fees and to cover periodic shortfalls between distributions paid and cash flows from operating activities. As a result of exploring strategic alternatives to provide stockholder liquidity, as described above under Our Exit Strategy, we did not receive any proceeds from indebtedness during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 due to sufficient cash on hand from proceeds from sales of assets, as described above, to meet our current liquidity needs. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we received aggregate proceeds from indebtedness of approximately $290.3 million. Proceeds from 2014 were used to fund acquisition of properties and meet our liquidity needs.
We had a revolving line of credit with available capacity of $100 million that matured in August 2016. Due to exploring strategic alternatives, including the sale of the remainder of our assets, we terminated our line of credit in August 2016.
In January 2017, the Company extended the maturity dates of two of its mortgage loans from April 5, 2017 to October 5, 2017. All other terms remained the same.

Uses of Liquidity and Capital Resources
Provision for Income Tax. During the fourth quarter of 2016, we determined that five tenants from whom we receive leasehold income are viewed for federal income tax purposes as the same party who also serves as an eligible third-party manager, also known as an “independent contractor” (within the meaning of section 856(d)(3) of the Code) on our behalf with respect to two properties for which we previously made an election pursuant to applicable Treasury Regulations to treat such properties as “foreclosure property.” Because of the relationship between the tenant entities and the independent contractor entities, we are viewed as deriving or receiving income from the independent contractor, which affects our compliance with the federal income tax rules applicable to REITs. The “foreclosure property” elections terminated and, as of the first day following such termination, the gross income we derived from such properties was not qualifying income under the gross income tests that are applicable to REITs. In order to maintain qualification as a REIT, we annually must satisfy certain tests regarding the source of our gross income. The applicable federal income tax rules provide a “savings clause” for REITs that fail to satisfy the REIT gross income tests if such failure is "due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect" and the REIT complies with certain disclosure and filing requirements. In general, a failure is considered due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect if the REIT exercised ordinary business care and prudence in attempting to satisfy the gross income requirements. Such care and prudence must be exercised both at the time each transaction is entered into by the REIT and at any later time when the REIT determines that any prior transaction may result in the receipt of nonqualified income which reasonably can be expected to result in a violation of the gross income requirements. A REIT that qualifies for the savings clause will retain its REIT status but may be required to pay a tax under section 857(b)(5) of the Code and related interest. We are pursuing the available relief under such savings clause and believe we satisfy the requirement that such failure was due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. Nonetheless, we are seeking confirmation from the applicable district director at the IRS that any such failure to satisfy the gross income tests was due to reasonable cause, though we can give no assurances that the IRS will provide such confirmation as applied to this particular set of facts and circumstances. In the event that the IRS determines that the relief under the “savings clause” described above does not apply, we could be treated as having failed to qualify as a REIT for one or more taxable years. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT for any taxable year, our income will be taxed at regular corporate rates resulting in higher taxes for the Company for years 2014, 2015 and 2016, and we could be prevented from re-electing REIT status until 2019. In the event that the IRS were to determine that we were not eligible for such relief, there could be a material adverse effect on our business financial condition and results of operations.
As a result of not being able to satisfy the gross income test described above, at December 31, 2016, we accrued an income tax liability of approximately $8.4 million plus approximately $0.3 million in related interest, to reflect our belief that we qualify for the “savings clause” discussed above. The amount accrued represents the estimated liability and interest, which remains subject to final resolution and therefore is subject to change. One of the above referenced properties was sold in 2015. The other property is expected to have immaterial gross revenues for the periods prior to the Sale. We will continue to monitor the gross revenue from this property and will restructure, if necessary, in such a manner as to allow the Company to satisfy the REIT gross income tests during 2017. Accordingly, we will continue to accrue interest on the income taxes, for which accrual will continue in 2017, and intend to pay the tax provision plus accrued interest in 2017. Other than the interest, assuming that the IRS determines that the Company qualified for relief under the "savings clause," we do not expect to incur tax expense associated with a failure of the REIT gross income tests in future periods commencing January 1, 2017.
Indebtedness – Repayments. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we repaid $10.5 million relating to the outstanding indebtedness collateralized by three properties that were sold, $18.2 million in repayment of indebtedness related to one property that matured in September 2016 and $10.5 million in scheduled principal payments under our mortgage loans.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, we used net sales proceeds from the sales of real estate and our interest in an unconsolidated entity and repaid $529.9 million of indebtedness (which included $12.8 million in scheduled principal payments, early repayments of $198.8 million related to senior housing properties sold and indebtedness collateralized by two attractions properties and one ski and mountain lifestyle property, and early repayment of all of our senior unsecured notes with an outstanding principal amount of $318.3 million at a premium of 103.625%) and repaid $152.5 million of our revolving line of credit.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we repaid $365.2 million of indebtedness (which included $145.0 million of outstanding mortgage loans related to 49 assets sold during 2014, $42.2 million in scheduled principal payments, early repayments of $92.7 million, $80.8 million in cash to repurchase at a premium the face value of $78.3 million of our senior notes, and $7.0 million related to a bridge loan which originally matured in June 2014) and $130.0 million of our revolving line of credit.
We have scheduled debt repayments and maturities of $138.5 million within the next twelve months. As a result of obtaining stockholder approval for the Sale of our remaining 36 properties, we intend to repay our outstanding indebtedness using net sales proceeds from the Sale which we anticipate will occur during the second quarter of 2017. In the event the Sale does not occur, we intend to refinance our debt.

34


Acquisitions and Capital Expenditures. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we paid $128.4 million (net of debt assumed) to acquire eleven properties. We did not use any funds to acquire any properties during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we funded approximately $27.1 million, $49.3 million and $79.1 million, respectively, in capital improvements at our properties.
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities. As described above in “General—Our Exit Strategy,” in April 2016, as part of acquiring the remaining 20% interest from our co-venture partner during the year ended December 31, 2016, we contributed approximately $5.8 million to the Intrawest Venture and the Intrawest Venture used the proceeds and repaid a mezzanine loan from its joint venture partner and related accrued interest of $5.8 million. Upon acquiring, for a nominal amount, the remaining interest in the Intrawest Venture, which owned seven ski and mountain lifestyle properties, we began consolidating all of the assets, liabilities and results of operations in our consolidated financial statements effective April 2016. Effective April 2016, we did not own any investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, we contributed approximately $54.6 million to the Intrawest Venture and the Intrawest Venture repaid two mortgage loans of approximately $54.6 million, which matured in January 2015 and June 2015. We did not make any contributions to unconsolidated entities during the year ended December 31, 2014.
Related Party Arrangements. Our Advisor received certain fees and compensation in connection with the acquisition, management and sale of our assets. In March 2014, our Advisor amended the advisory agreement, effective April 1, 2014, to eliminate acquisition fees on equity, performance fees, debt acquisition fees and disposition fees, and to reduce asset management fees to 0.075% monthly (or 0.90% annually) from 0.083% monthly (or 1.00% annually), of average invested assets. Amounts incurred relating to these transactions were approximately $12.1 million, $19.7 million and $31.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Our Advisor and its affiliates were also entitled to reimbursement of certain expenses and amounts incurred on our behalf in connection with our acquisitions and operating activities. Reimbursable expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, were approximately $5.3 million, $5.5 million and $6.9 million, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million are included in due to affiliates in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Pursuant to the advisory agreement, we will not reimburse our Advisor for any amount by which total operating expenses paid or incurred by us exceed the greater of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income (the “Expense Cap”) in any expense year. For the expense years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, operating expenses did not exceed the Expense Cap.
Common Stock Redemptions. Our redemption plan was designed to provide eligible stockholders with limited interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to us prior to any listing of our shares. The aggregate amount of funds under the redemption plan was determined on a quarterly basis in the sole discretion of our board of directors. On September 4, 2014, the board of directors approved the suspension of our redemption plan effective as of September 26, 2014.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, redemptions were approximately $9.6 million (1.4 million shares).
Distributions. We declared and paid distributions on a quarterly basis through November 2016. In November 2016, as part of entering into the Sale Agreement to sell our remaining 36 properties, our board of directors approved the suspension of our quarterly cash distributions on our common stock effective as of the fourth quarter of 2016. The amount of distributions declared to our stockholders through the suspension of our quarterly distribution was determined by our board of directors and was dependent upon a number of factors, including:
Sources of cash available for distribution such as expected cash flows operating activities, FFO and MFFO on a rolling 12 month basis; and
Other factors such as the reduced earnings base and cash flow from the disposition of properties as part of our Exit Strategy, our objective of continuing to qualify as a REIT, capital requirements, the general economic environment and other factors.
For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we paid distributions to our stockholders of approximately $211.4 million, $487.8 million and $110.7 million, respectively. In March 2015, our board of directors lowered quarterly distributions from $0.10625 per share to $0.05 per share and paid $65.1 million during 2015. Distributions during the year ended December 31, 2015, also included a special cash distribution of $1.30 per share and totaled approximately $422.7 million. As mentioned above in Our Exit Strategy, in November 2016, in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Sale Agreement, the board of directors declared a special cash distribution of approximately $162.6 million, or $0.50 per share. In addition, in light of the Plan of Dissolution, our board of directors also approved the suspension of our quarterly cash distribution on our common stock effective as of the fourth quarter distribution. We will not declare and pay quarterly cash distributions going forward.
Our cash flows from operating activities covered 42.6%, 12.9% and 92.1% of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The shortfall in cash flows from operating activities versus distributions paid for the years

35


ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 (including the special distributions) was 57.4%, 87.1% and 7.9%, respectively, and was covered by proceeds from sales of properties in 2016 and 2015 and by borrowings in 2014.

FOOTNOTES:
 
(1)
Distributions reinvested may be dilutive to stockholders to the extent that they are not covered by cash flows from operations, FFO and MFFO and such shortfalls are instead covered by borrowings. In September 2014, our board of directors suspended the DRP and beginning with the September 2014 quarterly distributions, stockholders who were participants in the DRP received cash distributions instead of additional shares of our common stock.
(2)
Cash flows from operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP are not necessarily indicative of the amount of cash available to pay distributions. For example, GAAP requires that the payment of acquisition fees and costs be classified as a use of cash in operating activities in the statement of cash flows, which directly reduces the measure of cash flows from operations. However, acquisition fees and costs are paid for with proceeds from our offerings and debt financings as opposed to operating cash flows. The board of directors also uses other measures such as FFO and MFFO in order to evaluate the level of distributions.
(3)
The shortfall between total distributions and cash flows from operating activities was covered by financing or investing activities such as borrowings or net sales proceeds from sales of properties.
(4)
In November 2016, in connection with the Sale Agreement and the Plan of Dissolution, the board of directors approved the suspension of our quarterly cash distribution and declared a special distribution of $0.50 per share, payable to stockholders of record of the Company's common stock, which was funded using net sales proceeds from the sale of real estate.
(5)
In December 2015, the board of directors declared a special distribution of $1.30 per share, payable to stockholders of record of the Company’s common stock, which was funded using net sales proceeds from the sale of real estate.
Our cash flows from operating activities fluctuated due to the seasonality of certain properties. As such, cash flows from operating activities increased during the third quarter to reflect the peak seasonal period of our attractions properties.
The tax composition of our distributions declared for years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

Due to a variety of factors, the characterization of distributions declared for the year ended December 31, 2016 may not be indicative of the characterization of distributions that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.
No amounts distributed to stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 were required to be or have been treated as a return of capital for purposes of calculating the stockholders’ return on their invested capital as described in our advisory agreement.
Results of Operations
As described above in “Our Exit Strategy,” in March 2014, we engaged Jefferies, a leading global investment banking firm, to assist us in actively evaluating various strategic alternatives, including the sale of several assets, in preparation for an exit strategy. Between 2014 and 2015, we sold 105 properties and during 2016 we sold 13 properties as described above in “Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources — Proceeds from Sales of Real Estate and an Unconsolidated Entity.” As a result of these dispositions of assets, our number of investments, rental income from operating leases and net operating income from managed properties declined during 2016 as compared to 2015. As described above, on March 24, 2017, our stockholders approved the Sale of our remaining 36 assets which we anticipate will occur during the second quarter of 2017.
We had invested in properties through the following investment structures as of:

Under certain applicable tax regulations, properties are permitted to be temporarily managed and certain properties are permitted to be indefinitely managed. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, all of our managed properties were temporarily managed. As of December 31, 2014, we had 30 and 24 properties that were temporarily and indefinitely managed, respectively, under management agreements.

In April 2015, we sold our 81.98% interest in the DMC Partnership, which held one property. In April 2016, we acquired the remaining 20% interest in the Intrawest Venture from our co-venture partner. See “Distributions from Unconsolidated Entities” above for additional information.

Year ended December 31, 2016 compared to Year ended December 31, 2015
Rental income from operating leases. Rental income for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased by approximately $14.1 million as compared to the same period in 2015. Rental income for the year ended December 31, 2016 from our ski and mountain lifestyle properties increased approximately $9.4 million related to the addition of seven properties we wholly owned for seven

37


months after we completed the acquisition of our co-venture partner's 20% interest in the Intrawest Venture in April 2016. We sold these seven properties in October 2016. Additional billings permitted under our leases calculated as a percentage of ski property level operating revenues generated by our tenants increased by approximately $6.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily as a result of favorable weather conditions during the peak ski season. Our ski properties in the Pacific Northwest had all-time record low snow conditions for the 2014/2015 ski season, but saw increased revenues for the 2015/2016 ski season due to snowfall returning to more normalized levels in the Pacific Northwest as a result of a pronounced El Nino effect. However, the same weather phenomenon caused a snow drought and record warm temperatures on the East Coast negatively impacting the 2015/2016 ski season for our properties located in the East. Rental income from our attractions properties declined by approximately $1.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the same periods of 2015, primarily due to amending certain leases, which resulted in lower rents due under the leases, as described further above in “General — Loan Foreclosures, Tenant Workouts, Provisions and Impairments.”
The following information summarizes trends in rental income from operating leases and base rents for certain of our properties excluding properties that have been classified as discontinued operations (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the weighted-average lease rate for our portfolio of wholly-owned leased properties was 10.0% and 10.2%, respectively. These rates are based on annualized straight-line base rent due under our leases and the weighted-average contractual lease basis of our real estate investment properties subject to operating leases. The weighted-average lease rate of our portfolio will fluctuate based on our asset mix, timing of property acquisitions, lease terminations and reductions in rent granted to tenants.
Property operating revenues. Property operating revenues from managed properties, which are not subject to leasing arrangements, are derived from room rentals, food and beverage sales, ski and spa operations, ticket sales, concessions, waterpark and theme park operations, and other service revenues. The following information summarizes the revenues of our properties that are operated by third-party managers for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we had a total of 12 managed properties (excluding properties that we classified as discontinued operations), respectively, of which certain properties are operated seasonally due to geographic location, climate and weather patterns. The decrease in property operating revenues is primarily due to the sale of four attraction properties and the Omni Mt. Washington Resort, our one managed ski and mountain lifestyle property, during 2015.
Interest income on mortgages and other notes receivable. Interest income on mortgages and other notes receivable was approximately $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. There was no interest income on mortgages and other notes receivable during year ended December 31, 2016, as all of our notes receivables were collected during 2015.

Asset management fees to advisor. Monthly asset management fees equal to 0.08334% prior to April 1, 2014 and 0.075% effective April 1, 2014 of invested assets were paid to the Advisor for the management of our real estate assets, loans and other permitted investments. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, asset management fees to our Advisor were approximately $11.9 million and $15.7 million, respectively. The decrease in such fees is primarily attributable to a decrease in invested assets under management due to the sale of 55 properties in 2015 and 13 properties in 2016.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $15.1 million and $15.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. General and administrative expenses were comprised primarily of reimbursable personnel expenses of affiliates of our Advisor, accounting and legal fees, and board of directors’ fees.
Ground leases and permit fees. Ground lease payments and land permit fees are generally based on a percentage of gross revenue of the underlying property over certain thresholds. For properties that are subject to leasing arrangements, ground leases and permit fees are paid by the tenants in accordance with the terms of our leases with those tenants and we record the corresponding equivalent revenues in rental income from operating leases. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, ground lease and land permit fees were approximately $11.3 million and $10.3 million, respectively, of which approximately $7.5 million and $6.7 million, respectively, represents the corresponding equivalent revenues in rental income from operating leases. The increase in ground leases and permit fees is primarily due to additional billings permitted under our leases calculated as a percentage of ski property level operating revenues generated by our tenants.
Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses totaled approximately $12.1 million and $6.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to expenses related to seven properties for seven months effective with the April 2016 acquisition of our co-venture partner's 20% interest in the Intrawest Venture (and subsequent sale of the properties in October 2016) as described above in "General - Our Exit Strategy," and an increase in repair and maintenance expenses related to our properties subject to operating leases.
Bad debt expense. Bad debt expense totaled $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared to bad debt expense of approximately $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. As described above in “General — Loan Foreclosures, Tenant Workouts, Provisions and Impairments,” during 2015, one of our ski tenants with two leases on properties in the Pacific-Northwest experienced financial difficulties as a result of lower operating results from the low levels of snow accompanied by unusually warm weather. Although this tenant was able to pay rents in 2016 related to the 2015/16 ski season, due to continued financial difficulties of this tenant for the ski season that started in the fourth quarter of 2016, we recorded bad debt expense of approximately $1.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 due to uncertainty of collectability.
Loan loss provision. Loan loss provisions were approximately $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2015, as described above in “Loan Foreclosures, Tenant Workouts, Provisions and Impairments”, we recorded loan loss provisions to record our mortgage receivables at their net realizable values. All mortgage and notes receivables were collected in full during 2015. Accordingly, there was no loan loss provision during the year ended December 31, 2016.
Impairment provisions. Impairment provisions were approximately $8.1 million and $124.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As described above in "General Loan Foreclosures, Tenant Workouts, Provisions and Impairments," we entered into a Sale Agreement and adjusted the net carrying value of certain properties to the estimated sales price, less estimated closing costs during the year ended December 31, 2016. Impairment provisions recorded during the year ended December 31, 2015 related primarily to several attractions and ski and mountain lifestyle properties to write down their book values to estimated fair values based on discounted cash flows and residual values, as described above under “Loan Foreclosures, Tenant Workouts, Provisions and Impairments.”
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $66.8 million and $83.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased primarily due to a lower depreciable basis of certain of our properties as a result of impairment provisions recorded in December 2015 and as a result of five properties that were sold in 2015 that did not qualify as discontinued operations.
Interest and other income. Interest and other income was approximately $1.6 million and $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Interest expense and loan cost amortization. Interest expense and loan cost amortization was approximately $11.1 million and $26.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to the repayment of approximately $621.9 million in 2015, related to our senior unsecured notes, line of credit and other indebtedness.
Loss on extinguishment of debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt was approximately $25 thousand and $21.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The loss on extinguishment of debt incurred during the year ended December 31, 2015 related to the early repayments of our senior unsecured notes and certain loans during 2015. Loss on extinguishment of debt included legal fees incurred with the transaction, prepayment penalty fees and the write-off of unamortized bond issue costs and loan costs.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities was approximately $1.3 million and $6.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As described above in "Liquidity and Capital Resources – Distributions from Unconsolidated Entities," in April 2015 we sold our 81.98% interest in the DMC Partnership and in April 2016, we acquired our co-venture partner’s 20% non-controlling interest in the Intrawest Venture, which resulted in a combined 100% controlling interest in the Intrawest Venture. As a result, we began consolidating all of the results of operations of the Intrawest Venture. We did not own any investments in unconsolidated entities as of December 31, 2016 and will not record equity in earnings going forward.
Gain from purchase of controlling interest in investment in unconsolidated entity. Gain from purchase of the remaining 20% interest in our Intrawest Venture effective April 2016, was approximately $30.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. We did not acquire any interests in unconsolidated entities during the year ended December 31, 2015.
Income tax benefit (expense). Income tax expense was approximately $(9.8) million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The income tax expense was recorded as we did not satisfy the gross income tests applicable to REITs, as further described above under "Uses of Liquidity and Capital Resources – Provision for Income Tax." The Company revised its estimate of this liability to $8.4 million as of December 31, 2016, which resulted in a $1.4 million income tax benefit during the year ended December 31, 2016.
Income from discontinued operations. Income from discontinued operations was approximately $9.7 million and $204.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The results of operations of 104 properties (which included our 17 marinas properties sold during 2016 and 2015, and the 38 senior housing properties sold during 2015), are reflected in discontinued operations for all periods presented. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, income from discontinued operations included net gains of $9.7 million and $200.2 million, respectively, from the sale of five properties and 50 properties, respectively, and included approximately $7.7 million in impairment provisions during 2015 related to the marinas properties to write down the book value of the marinas properties to expected sales proceeds, less costs to sell.
Gain on sale of real estate. Gain on sale of real estate from continuing operations was approximately $0.1 million and $46.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The net gain on sale of real estate primarily related to the sale of our unimproved land and seven ski and mountain lifestyle properties in 2016, and the sale of our four attractions properties and one ski and mountain property in 2015, respectively.
Gain from sale of unconsolidated entities. The gain from the sale of our interest in the DMC Partnership, one of our unconsolidated joint ventures, was approximately $39.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. There was no gain on sale of unconsolidated entities during 2016.
Year Ended December 31, 2015 compared to Year Ended December 31, 2014
Rental income from operating leases. Rental income for the year ended December 31, 2015 decreased by approximately $2.8 million as compared to the same period in 2014. Additional billings permitted under our leases calculated as a percentage of ski property level operating revenues generated by our tenants declined by approximately $3.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2015, primarily due to unfavorable weather conditions. Our ski properties in the Pacific Northwest had all-time record low snow conditions for the 2014/2015 ski season, but saw increased revenues for the start of the 2015/2016 ski season due to snowfall returning to more normalized levels in the Pacific Northwest due to a pronounced El Nino effect. However, the same weather phenomenon caused a snow drought and record warm temperatures on the East Coast negatively impacting the start to our 2015/2016 ski season for our properties located in the East. This decline in ski revenues was partially offset by an increase in revenues attributed to capital improvements made at our attractions properties that resulted in higher lease basis, which increased rent due from our tenants. Rental income from our attractions properties declined by approximately $1.5 million due to amending the lease and lowering rents due under the leases, as described above in “Tenant Workouts, Bad Debt Expense and Loan Provisions.”

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we had a total of 12 and 17 managed properties (excluding properties that we classified as discontinued operations), respectively, of which certain properties are operated seasonally due to geographic location, climate and weather patterns. The decrease in property operating revenues was primarily due to the sale of one attractions property in June 2015, three attractions properties in November 2015 and one ski and mountain lifestyle property in December 31, 2015. The decrease was partially offset by increases in property operating revenue for our other attractions properties primarily due to higher ticket sales, retail shop sales and food and beverage sales.
Interest income on mortgages and other notes receivable. Interest income on mortgages and other notes receivable was approximately $1.3 million and $8.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to the repayment of approximately $83.5 million for two of our loans that matured in September 2014 and the collection of all remaining notes receivable during 2015.
Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses decreased primarily due to the sale of one attractions property in June 2015, three attractions properties in November 2015 and one ski and mountain lifestyle property in December 2015.

Asset management fees to advisor. Monthly asset management fees equal to 0.08334% prior to April 1, 2014 and 0.075% effective April 1, 2014 of invested assets were paid to CLP’s Advisor for the management of our real estate assets, loans and other permitted investments. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, asset management fees to our Advisor were approximately $15.7 million and $18.7 million, respectively. The decrease in such fees was primarily attributable to the reduction in asset fee rates described above and the sale of five real estate properties (excluding properties classified as discontinued operations) and our interest in the DMC Partnership during 2015.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $15.6 million and $17.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of a reduction in legal, accounting and other professional services necessary to account and report on a declining portfolio of assets due to asset sales as a result of our exit strategy, as described above in “Our Exit Strategy.”

41


Ground leases and permit fees. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, ground lease and land permit fees were approximately $10.3 million and $10.2 million, respectively, of which approximately $6.7 million and $6.8 million, respectively, represented the corresponding equivalent revenues in rental income from operating leases.
Acquisition fees and costs. Acquisition fees were paid to our Advisor for services in connection with the selection, purchase, development or construction of real property and were generally 3% of gross offering proceeds, including proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan. Acquisition fees and costs totaled approximately $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. We did not incur acquisition fees during the year ended December 31, 2015 as we did not purchase any real estate properties during 2015 and we suspended the distribution reinvestment plan in September 2014.
Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses totaled approximately $6.9 million and $5.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in repair and maintenance expenses related to our properties subject to operating leases.
Bad debt expense. Bad debt expense was approximately $8.5 million and $0.03 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase was related to one of our ski tenants with two leases on properties in the Pacific-Northwest that experienced financial difficulties as a result of lower operating results from the low levels of snow accompanied by unusually warm weather during the 2014/2015 ski season. As described above in “General—Tenant Workouts, Bad Debt Expense and Loan Provisions,” due to improved snowfall levels, this tenant has paid rental amounts related to the ski season that started in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Loan loss provision. Loan loss provisions were approximately $9.3 million and $3.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2015, as described above in “General—Loan Foreclosures, Tenant Workouts, Provisions and Impairments,” we recorded loan loss provisions to record our mortgage receivables at their net realizable values. During the year ended 2014, we recorded a loan loss provision of approximately $3.3 million on one of our mortgage and other notes receivable with one of our golf operators, as a result of uncertainty related to the collectability of the note receivable. We collected the remaining $1.3 million balance of the note as full satisfaction of the note during 2014.
Loss on lease terminations. Loss on lease terminations was approximately $8.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2014. As described above in “General—Loan Foreclosures, Tenant Workouts, Provisions and Impairments,” one of our ski tenants on two leases experienced financial difficulties and was unable to pay rent in 2015 due to low levels of snow accompanied by unusually warm weather. In connection with the ongoing financial difficulties, we recorded a loss on lease termination (for the write off of straight-line rents) of approximately $8.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2014. We did not record any (gain) loss on lease terminations during the year ended December 31, 2015.
Impairment provisions. Impairment provisions were approximately $124.9 million and $30.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Impairment provisions recorded during the year ended December 31, 2015, related primarily to several attractions and ski and mountain lifestyle properties to write down their book values to estimated fair values based on discounted cash flows and residual values, as described further under “General—Loan Foreclosures, Tenant Workouts, Provisions and Impairments.” Impairment provisions recorded during the year ended December 31, 2014, related to one of our attractions properties and our unimproved land to write down the book values related to these properties to estimated sales prices from third party buyers less costs to sell.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $83.5 million and $98.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease year-over-year was primarily due to discontinuing the recognition of depreciation and amortization expense upon the determination of recording the properties as real estate held for sale.
Interest and other income. Interest and other income was approximately $2.2 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in interest and other income was primarily due to gain on insurance proceeds of approximately $0.8 million received from insurance claims as described above in “Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources—Proceeds from Insurance—Hurricane, Storm and Other Damage” and an increase in interest income due to maintaining larger cash balances from holding net sales proceeds prior to the special distribution paid in December of 2015.
Interest expense and loan cost amortization. Interest expense and loan cost amortization was approximately $27.0 million and $57.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to the repayment of approximately $621.9 million of indebtedness, excluding indebtedness related to properties classified as discontinued operations, subsequent to December 31, 2014.
Loss on extinguishment of debt. Losses on extinguishment of debt was approximately $21.1 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in loss on extinguishment of debt related to the early repayments of our senior unsecured notes and certain loans during 2015. Loss on extinguishment of debt included legal fees incurred with the transaction, prepayment penalty fees and the write-off of unamortized bond issue costs and loan costs.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities was approximately $6.2 million and $7.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of our interest in the DMC Partnership in April 2015. This decrease was offset by improved results from our Intrawest Venture in 2015 due to the fact that during 2014, we recorded catch up depreciation and amortization expense due to the reclassification of six Intrawest village retail properties from assets held for sale to held and used.
Income tax provision. Income tax provision was approximately $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The income tax provision was recorded as we did not satisfy the gross income tests applicable to REITs, as further described above under "Uses of Liquidity and Capital Resources – Provision for Income Tax." We did not record any income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations. Income (loss) from discontinued operations was approximately $204.7 million and $(31.7) million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The results of operations of 104 properties (which included our five marinas properties classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2015, the 12 marinas properties sold during 2015, the 38 senior housing properties sold during 2015 and all properties sold during 2014 and 2013) were reflected in discontinued operations for all periods presented. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, income from discontinued operations included net gains of $200.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively, from the sale of 50 properties and 49 properties, respectively, and included approximately $7.7 million and $37.9 million, respectively, in impairment provisions related to the marinas properties to write down the book value of the marinas properties to expected sales proceeds, less costs to sell.
Gain on sale of real estate. Gain on sale of real estate from continuing operations was approximately $46.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The gain on sale of real estate primarily related to the sale of four of our attractions properties and one ski and mountain property. There was no gain on sale of real estate in 2014 as the gains were recorded through income (loss) from discontinued operations.
Gain from sale of unconsolidated entities. The gain from the sale of our interest in the DMC Partnership, one of our unconsolidated joint ventures, was approximately $39.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. There was no gain on sale of unconsolidated entities during 2014.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds From Operations
Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, NAREIT promulgated a measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to net income or loss as determined under GAAP.
We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, real estate impairment write-downs, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.
The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, especially if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances and/or is requested or required by lessees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value of the property. We believe that, because real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the

43


impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income or loss. However, FFO and MFFO, as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or loss in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP FFO and MFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.
Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses for business combinations from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) that were put into effect in 2009 and other changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses as items that are expensed under GAAP and accounted for as operating expenses. Our management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. While other start up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that non-listed REITs are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after the acquisition activity ceases. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the IPA, an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-listed REIT. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended. We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO and also excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, MFFO can provide, on a going forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we acquired our properties and once our portfolio is in place. By providing MFFO, we believe it is presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our properties have been acquired. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry.
We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, or the Practice Guideline, issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of GAAP net income or loss: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to straight-line rent adjustments for leases and notes receivable; gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt and hedges; amounts relating to the amortization of above and below market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to remove the impact of GAAP straight-line adjustments from rental revenues); loan loss provisions related to mortgages and other notes receivable; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; eliminations of adjustments relating to contingent purchase price obligations where such adjustments have been included in the derivation of GAAP net income or loss, mark-to-market adjustments included in net income or loss; and adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized. While we are responsible for managing interest rate, hedge and foreign exchange risk, we do retain an outside consultant to review all of our hedging agreements. Inasmuch as interest rate hedges are not a fundamental part of our operations, we believe it is appropriate to exclude such gains and losses in calculating MFFO, as such gains and losses are not reflective of on-going operations.
Our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition related expenses, straight-line adjustments for leases and notes receivable, amortization of above and below market leases, impairments of lease related assets, loss from early extinguishment of debt and accretion of discounts or amortization of premiums for debt investments. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income or loss. These expenses are paid in cash by us. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income or loss in determining cash flow from operating activities.
Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs which have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to

44


operate in this manner. We believe that our use of MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allow us to present our performance in a manner that reflects certain characteristics that are unique to non-listed REITs, such as their limited life, limited and defined acquisition period and targeted exit strategy, and hence that the use of such measures is useful to investors. For example, acquisitions costs are funded from our subscription proceeds and other financing sources and not from operations. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.
Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different non-listed REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way and as such comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flows available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of its liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund cash needs including our ability to make distributions to stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. MFFO has limitations as a performance measure in an offering such as ours where the price of a share of common stock is a stated value or based on an estimated net asset value. MFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete and net asset value is disclosed. FFO and MFFO are not useful measures in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining FFO and MFFO.
Neither the SEC, NAREIT nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and we would have to adjust its calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO.

FOOTNOTES:
 
(1)
The add back for impairment of real estate assets to arrive at FFO does not include impairments of deferred rent from prior GAAP straight-lining adjustments and lease incentives described in Footnote (10) below. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges.
(2)
Net gain on sale of real estate investment includes gain on insurance proceeds and loss on retirement of property.
(3)
In April 2016, we completed the acquisition of our co-venture partner's 20% interest in one unconsolidated joint venture that held seven properties. See "Distributions from Unconsolidated Entities" for additional information.
(4)
In April 2015, we completed the sale of our interest in one unconsolidated joint venture that held one property. See “Distributions from Unconsolidated Entities” for additional information.
(5)
This amount represents our share of the FFO or MFFO adjustments allowable under the NAREIT or IPA definitions, respectively, multiplied by the percentage of income or loss recognized under the HLBV method.
(6)
In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. By adding back acquisition fees and expense relating to business combinations, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information of its operating performance and will also allow comparability between real estate entities regardless of their level of acquisition activities. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses relating to business combinations under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income (loss) and income (loss) from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property.
(7)
Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

46


(8)
Loss of extinguishment of debt includes legal fees incurred with the transaction, prepayment penalty fees and write-off of unamortized loan costs, as applicable. Loss from extinguishment of cash flow hedge includes swap breakage fees and reclassification of loss on termination of cash flow hedges from other comprehensive income (loss) from interest expense.
(9)
Management believes that the elimination of the contingent purchase price consideration adjustment, which represents the Yield Guarantee as mentioned above, included in interest and other income (expense) for GAAP purposes is appropriate because the adjustment is a non-cash adjustment that is not reflective of our ongoing operating performance and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.
(10)
Management believes that adjusting for gains or write-offs of lease related assets is appropriate because they are non-cash adjustments that may not be reflective of our ongoing operating performance. In 2016, 2015 and 2013, we recorded impairment provisions totaling approximately $8.1 million, $5.3 million and $58.1 million, respectively, for deferred rent from prior GAAP straight-lining adjustments, below market intangible liabilities, and lease incentives.
(11)
We recorded loan loss provisions on our mortgages and other notes receivable as a result of uncertainty related to the collectability of these notes receivables.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that management believes are critical to our operations as of December 31, 2016. We consider these policies critical because they involve difficult management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. The judgments affect the reporting amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
As discussed above under "Our Exit Strategy," on March 24, 2017, our stockholders approved a Plan of Dissolution. As a result of this approval, the Company will adopt the liquidation basis of accounting as of March 31, 2017 and for the periods subsequent to March 31, 2017 in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, on March 31, 2017, our assets will be adjusted to their estimated liquidation value, which will represent the estimated amount of cash and stock that we will collect on disposal of assets as we carry out our Plan of Dissolution. Additionally, we will accrue costs and income that we expect to incur and earn through the end of liquidation to the extent we have a reasonable basis for estimation.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. Our consolidated financial statements will include our accounts, the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries or subsidiaries for which we have a controlling interest, the accounts of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we are the primary beneficiary, and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which we have a controlling financial interest. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
We are required to identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and to determine the primarily beneficiary of our VIEs. We quantitatively assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE and consider various qualitative factors including, but not limited to, the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and financial agreements, our ability and the rights of others to participate in policy making decisions, as well as our ability to liquidate the entity. If an entity is determined to be a VIE and we are determined to be the primary beneficiary, we include the accounts of the VIE in our consolidated financial statements.
Allocation of Purchase Price for Real Estate Acquisitions. Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, we record the fair value of the tangible assets (consisting of land, buildings, improvements and equipment), intangible assets (consisting of in-place leases and above or below market lease values), assumed liabilities and any contingent liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value is determined based on incorporating market participant assumptions, discounted cash flow models using appropriate capitalization rates, and our estimate reflecting the facts and circumstances of each acquisition. Acquisition fees and costs are expensed for acquisitions that are considered a business combination.
The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired leased property is determined by various factors including the comparable land sale method and cost approach method which estimates the replacement cost new less depreciation and a go dark income approach on the building in which the building is assumed to be vacant.
The purchase price is allocated to in-place lease intangibles based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of the acquired lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease up periods, including estimates of lost rental income during the expected lease up periods, and costs to execute similar leases such as leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
We may also enter into yield guarantees in connection with an acquisition, whereby the seller agrees to hold a portion of the purchase price in escrow that may be repaid to us in the event certain thresholds are not met. In calculating the estimated fair value of the yield guarantee, we consider information obtained about each property during the due diligence and budget process as well as discount rates to determine the fair value. We periodically evaluate the fair value of the yield guarantee and record any adjustments to the fair value as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities. We account for our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting as we exercise significant influence, but do not maintain a controlling financial interest over these entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for cash contributions, distributions and equity in earnings (loss) of the unconsolidated entities. Based on the respective venture structures and preferences we receive on distributions and liquidation, we record our equity in earnings of the entities under the hypothetical liquidation book value (“HLBV”) method of accounting. Under this method, we recognize income or loss in each period as if the net book value of the assets in the ventures were hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period following the provisions of the joint venture agreements. In any given period, we could be recording more or less income than actual cash distributions received and more or less than what we may receive in the event of an actual liquidation. Our investment in unconsolidated entities is accounted for as an asset acquisition

48


in which acquisition fees and expenses are capitalized as part of the basis in the investment in unconsolidated entities. The acquisition fees and expenses create an outside basis difference that are allocated to the assets of the investee and, if assigned to depreciable or amortizable assets, the basis differences are then amortized as a component of equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities.
Assets Held for Sale, net and Discontinued Operations. Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to dispose. We classify assets as held for sale once management has the authority to approve and commits to a plan to sell, the assets are available for immediate sale, an active program to locate a buyer and the sale of the assets are probable and transfer of the assets are expected to occur within one year. Subsequent to classification of an asset as held for sale, no further depreciation or amortization relating to the asset are recorded. We classify assets held for sale as discontinued operations if the disposal has (or will have) a major effect on our operations and financial results. For those assets held for sale that qualify for classification as discontinued operations, the specific components of net income (loss) are presented as discontinued operations include operating income (loss) and interest expense directly attributable to the property held for sale, net. In addition, the net gain or loss (including any impairment loss) on the eventual disposal of assets held for sale that qualify as discontinued operations are presented as discontinued operations when recognized.
Impairment of Real Estate Assets. Real estate assets are reviewed on an ongoing basis to determine whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, general market conditions and significant changes in the manner of use or estimated holding period of our real estate assets or the strategy of our overall business, that the value of the real estate properties (including any related amortizable intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. To assess if a property value is potentially impaired, management compares the estimated current and projected undiscounted operating cash flows of the property over its remaining useful life (or holding period) plus an estimate of residual value (collectively, the “Estimated Cash Flows”), to the net carrying value of the property. Such cash flow projections consider factors such as estimated lease payments under our triple net leases, estimated future operating income on managed properties, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. In the event that the carrying value exceeds the Estimated Cash Flows, we would then determine fair value using discounted Estimated Cash Flows (or estimated sales proceeds less costs to sell) to determine fair value. In the event the carrying value exceeds the discounted Estimated Cash Flows (or estimated sales proceeds less costs to sell), we would record an impairment provision to adjust the carrying value of the asset group to the estimated fair value of the property.
For real estate we indirectly own through an investment in a joint venture, tenant-in-common interest or other similar investment structure which is accounted for under the equity method, when impairment indicators are present, we compare the estimated fair value of our investment to the carrying value. An impairment charge will be recorded to the extent the fair value of our investment is less than the carrying amount and the decline in value is determined to be other than a temporary decline.
The estimated fair values of unconsolidated entities are based upon a discounted cash flow model that includes all estimated cash inflows and outflows over the expected holding period. The capitalization rates and discounted rates utilized in the model are based upon rates that we believe to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the underlying properties.
Real Estate Dispositions. When real estate is disposed of, the related cost, accumulated depreciation or amortization and any accrued rental income for operating leases are removed from the accounts and gains and losses from the disposition are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Gains from the disposition of real estate are generally recognized using the full accrual method in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance included in Real Estate Sales, provided that various criteria relating to the terms of sale and subsequent involvement by us with the properties are met. Gains may be deferred in whole or in part until the sales satisfy the requirements of gain recognition on sale of real estate. As of December 31, 2014, we had deferred gains on two of our real estate dispositions as a result of making loans to the buyers financing a portion of the sales price. These deferred gains were recognized during the year December 31, 2016, as a result of these loans being collected.
Leases. Our leases are accounted for as operating leases. Lease accounting principles require management to estimate the economic life of the leased property, the residual value of the leased property and the present value of minimum lease payments to be received from the tenant in order to determine the proper lease classification. Changes in our estimates or assumptions regarding collectability of lease payments, the residual value or economic lives of the leased property could result in a change in lease classification and our accounting for leases.
Revenue Recognition. For properties subject to operating leases, rental revenue is recorded on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Additional percentage rent that is due contingent upon tenant performance thresholds, such as gross revenues, is deferred until the underlying performance thresholds have been achieved. Property operating revenues from managed properties, which are not subject to leasing arrangements, are derived from room rentals, food and beverage sales, ski and spa operations, golf operations, membership dues, ticket sales, concessions, waterpark and theme park operations, resident rental fees and services, and other service revenues. Such revenues, excluding membership dues, are recognized when rooms are occupied, when services have been performed, and when products are delivered. Membership dues are recognized ratably over the term of the membership period. For mortgages and other notes receivable, interest income is recognized on an accrual basis when earned, except for loans placed on non-accrual status, for which interest income is recognized when received. Any deferred portion of contractual interest is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the corresponding note. Loan origination fees charged and acquisition fees

49


incurred in connection with the making of loans are recognized as interest income, and a reduction in interest income, respectively over the term of the notes.
Mortgages and other notes payable. Mortgages and other notes payable, other than those assumed in an acquisition, are recorded at the stated principal amount and are generally collateralized by our lifestyle properties with monthly interest only and/or principal payments. A loan that is accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring is recorded at the present value of future cash payments, which includes principal and interest, specified by the new terms. We have and may undergo a troubled debt restructuring if management determines that the underlying collateralized properties are not performing to meet debt service. In order to qualify as a troubled debt restructuring, the following must apply: (i) the underlying collateralized property value decreased as a result of the economic environment, (ii) transfer of an asset (cash) to partially satisfy the loan has occurred and (iii) new loan terms decrease the effective interest rate and extend the maturity date. The difference between the future cash payments specified by the new terms and the carrying value immediately preceding the restructure is recorded as gain on extinguishment of debt.

Item 7A.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to acquire properties, make loans and other permitted investments. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we expect to borrow and lend primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available, and in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. With regard to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.

FOOTNOTES:
 
(1)
The fair value of our fixed-rate and variable-rate debt was determined using discounted cash flows based on market interest rates as of December 31, 2016. We determined market rates through discussions with active lenders for loans with similar terms and current rates and spreads.
(2)As of December 31, 2016, one of our variable-rate debt in mortgages and notes payable was hedged.
(3)The 30-day LIBOR rate was approximately 0.77% at December 31, 2016.
(4)Includes a $1.4 million loan which is non-interest bearing.
Management estimates that a hypothetical one-percentage point increase in LIBOR would have resulted in additional interest costs of approximately $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. This sensitivity analysis contains certain simplifying assumptions, and although it gives an indication of our exposure to changes in interest rates, it is not intended to predict future results and our actual results will likely vary.
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange fluctuations as a result of our direct ownership of one property in Canada which is leased to a third party tenant. The lease payments we receive under the triple-net lease are denominated in Canadian dollars. Management does not believe this to be a significant risk or that currency fluctuations would result in a significant impact to our overall results of operations.

Report of Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. and Subsidiaries:

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the stockholders approved a plan of liquidation for the Company on March 24, 2017, and the liquidation basis of accounting will be adopted as of March 31, 2017.

As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the criteria for reporting discontinued operations in 2015.

CNL LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2016


1.
Business and Organization
CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. (the “Company”), was organized in Maryland on August 11, 2003. The Company believes it has operated and has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) for federal income tax. In November 2016, the Company determined it needed to accrue a provision for income tax in connection with retaining its REIT status, as described further in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies." The Company generally invested in lifestyle properties in the United States that were primarily leased on a long-term (generally five to 20 years, plus multiple renewal options), triple-net or gross basis to tenants or operators that the Company considered to be industry leading. As a result of tenant defaults, the Company engaged third-party managers to operate properties on its behalf until the point in time that the properties are re-leased. The Company engaged CNL Lifestyle Advisor Corporation (the “Advisor”) as its advisor to provide management, disposition, advisory and administrative services.
In March 2014, the Company engaged Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), a leading global investment banking and advisory firm, to assist the Company’s management and its board of directors in actively evaluating various strategic alternatives to provide liquidity to the Company’s stockholders. In connection with this process, between 2014 and 2016, the Company sold 118 properties and used the net sales proceeds from the sale of these properties to repay indebtedness and also provided stockholders with partial liquidity when it made special distributions to stockholders during 2015 and 2016. As of December 31, 2016, the Company owned 36 lifestyle properties within the following asset classes: ski and mountain lifestyle and attractions.
In November 2016, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of its remaining 36 properties (the "Sale Agreement") for approximately $830.0 million. In connection with the transaction contemplated by the Sale Agreement, in November 2016, the board of directors approved a plan of liquidation and dissolution ("Plan of Dissolution").
In January 2017, the Company mailed a proxy statement to its stockholders requesting approval of, and at the March 24, 2017 stockholders’ meeting, the stockholders approved the sale of the Company’s remaining 36 properties pursuant to the Sale Agreement. The stockholders also approved the Plan of Dissolution, including the complete liquidation and dissolution of the Company following the closing of the sale of its remaining assets.  Refer to Note 17, "Subsequent Events" for additional information.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts, the accounts of wholly owned subsidiaries or subsidiaries for which the Company has a controlling interest, the accounts of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary, and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In accordance with the guidance for the consolidation of VIEs, the Company is required to identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and to determine the primary beneficiary of its VIEs. The Company quantitatively assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and considers various qualitative factors including, but not limited to, the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and financial agreements, its ability and the rights of others to participate in policy making decisions, as well as the Company's ability to liquidate the entity. If an entity is determined to be a VIE and the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary, the Company includes the accounts of the VIE in its consolidated financial statements.
Allocation of Purchase Price for Real Estate Acquisitions Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, the Company records the fair value of the tangible assets (consisting of land, buildings, improvements and equipment), intangible assets (consisting of in-place leases and above or below market lease values), assumed liabilities and any contingent liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value is determined based on incorporating market participant assumptions, discounted cash flow models using appropriate capitalization rates, and the Company’s estimates reflecting the facts and circumstances of each acquisition. Acquisition fees and costs are expensed for acquisitions that are considered a business combination.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired leased property is determined by various factors including the comparable land sale method and cost approach method which estimates the replacement cost new less depreciation and a go dark income approach on the building in which the building is assumed to be vacant.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The purchase price is allocated to in-place lease intangibles based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of the acquired lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease up periods, including estimates of lost rental income during the expected lease up periods, and costs to execute similar leases such as leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
The Company may also enter into yield guarantees in connection with an acquisition, whereby the seller agrees to hold a portion of the purchase price in escrow that may be repaid to the Company in the event certain thresholds are not met. In calculating the estimated fair value of the yield guarantee, the Company considers information obtained about each property during the due diligence and budget process as well as discount rates to determine the fair value. The Company periodically evaluates the fair value of the yield guarantee and records any adjustments to the fair value as a component of other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Depreciation and Amortization Real estate costs related to the acquisition and improvement of properties are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred and significant replacements and betterments are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs include all costs that do not extend the useful life of the real estate asset. The Company considers the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life. Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computed using the straight-line method of accounting over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over the lesser of 39 years or the remaining life of the ground lease including renewal options and leasehold and permit interests.
Amortization of intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method of accounting over the respective lease term or estimated useful life. The capitalized above-market or below-market lease intangible is amortized to rental income over the estimated remaining term of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its scheduled expiration, all unamortized costs related to the lease would be written off. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, and like all intangibles, are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or upon a trigger event.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities — The Company accounted for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercised significant influence, but did not maintain a controlling financial interest over these entities. These investments were recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for cash contributions, distributions and equity in earnings (loss) of the unconsolidated entities. Based on the respective venture structures and preferences the Company received on distributions and liquidation, the Company recorded its equity in earnings of the entities under the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method of accounting. Under this method, the Company recognized income or loss in each period as if the net book value of the assets in the ventures were hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period following the provisions of the joint venture agreements. In any given period, the Company may have recorded more or less income than actual cash distributions received and more or less than what the Company may have received in the event of an actual liquidation. The Company’s investment in unconsolidated entities was accounted for as an asset acquisition in which acquisition fees and expenses were capitalized as part of the basis in the investment in unconsolidated entities. The acquisition fees and expenses created an outside basis difference that were allocated to the assets of the investee and, if assigned to depreciable or amortizable assets, the basis differences were then amortized as a component of equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities.
Acquisition Fees and Expenses The Company incurred acquisition fees and expenses in connection with the selection and acquisition of properties, including expenses on properties it determined not to acquire. The Company immediately expensed all acquisition costs and fees associated with transactions deemed to be business combinations, but capitalized these costs for transactions deemed to be acquisitions of an asset or equity method investment.

Impairment of Real Estate Assets Real estate assets are reviewed on an ongoing basis to determine whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, general market conditions and significant changes in the manner of use or estimated holding period of the Company’s real estate assets or the strategy of its overall business, that the value of the real estate properties (including any related amortizable intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. To assess if a property value is potentially impaired, management compares the estimated current and projected undiscounted operating cash flows of the property over its remaining useful life (or holding period) plus an estimate of residual value (collectively, the “Estimated Cash Flows”), to the net carrying value of the property. Such cash flow projections consider factors such as estimated lease payments under the Company’s triple net leases, estimated future operating income on managed properties, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. In the event that the carrying value exceeds the Estimated Cash Flows, the Company would then determine fair value using discounted Estimated Cash Flows (or estimated sales proceeds less costs to sell) to determine fair value. In the event the carrying value exceeds the discounted Estimated Cash Flows (or estimated sales proceeds less costs to sell), the Company would record an impairment provision to adjust the carrying value of the asset group to the estimated fair value of the property.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
For real estate the Company indirectly owned through an investment in a joint venture, tenant-in-common interest or other similar investment structure which was accounted for under the equity method, when impairment indicators were present, the Company compared the estimated fair value of its investment to the carrying value. An impairment charge was recorded to the extent the fair value of its investment was less than the carrying amount and the decline in value was determined to be other than a temporary decline.
The estimated fair values of unconsolidated entities were based upon a discounted cash flow model that included all estimated cash inflows and outflows over the expected holding period. The capitalization rates and discounted rates utilized in the model were based upon rates that the Company believed to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the underlying properties.
Bargain Purchase Gain A bargain purchase gain is recorded as a gain in earnings in the period of acquisition when the fair value of assets acquired net of liabilities assumed is greater than the consideration transferred.
Assets Held for Sale, net and Discontinued Operations Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to dispose. The Company classifies assets as held for sale once management has the authority to approve and commits to a plan to sell, the assets are available for immediate sale, an active program to locate a buyer and the sale of the assets are probable and transfer of the assets are expected to occur within one year. The Company's remaining properties as of December 31, 2016 require the approval of the proposed Sale Agreement by stockholders in order to be sold. Subsequent to classification of an asset as held for sale, no further depreciation or amortization relating to the asset are recorded. The Company presents the assets of any properties which have been sold, or otherwise qualify as held for sale, separately in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company classifies assets held for sale as discontinued operations if the disposal has (or will have) a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. For those assets held for sale that qualify for classification as discontinued operations, the specific components of net income (loss) are presented as discontinued operations include operating income (loss) and interest expense directly attributable to the property held for sale, net. In addition, the net gain or loss (including any impairment loss) on the eventual disposal of assets held for sale that qualify as discontinued operations are presented as discontinued operations when recognized.
Real Estate Dispositions — When real estate is disposed of, the related cost, accumulated depreciation or amortization and any accrued rental income for operating leases are removed from the accounts and gains and losses from the disposition are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Gains from the disposition of real estate are generally recognized using the full accrual method in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance included in Real Estate Sales, provided that various criteria relating to the terms of sale and subsequent involvement by the Company with the properties are met. Gains may be deferred in whole or in part until the sales satisfy the requirements of gain recognition on sale of real estate.
Cash — Cash consists of demand deposits at commercial banks. The Company also invests in cash equivalents consisting of highly liquid investments in money market funds with original maturities of three months or less during the year. As of December 31, 2016, cash deposits exceeded federally insured amounts. However, the Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts. Management continues to monitor third-party depository institutions that hold the Company’s cash, primarily with the goal of safety of principal and secondarily on maximizing yield on those funds. To that end, the Company has diversified its cash among several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. Management has attempted to select institutions that it believes are strong based on an evaluation of their financial stability and exposure to poor performing assets.
Restricted Cash Certain amounts of cash are restricted to fund capital expenditures for the Company’s real estate investment properties or represent certain tenant security deposits.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — The Company utilizes derivative instruments to partially offset the effect of fluctuating interest rates on the cash flows associated with its variable-rate debt. The Company follows established risk management policies and procedures in its use of derivatives and does not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company records all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, the derivative is designated as a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction. The effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recognized in the statement of operations in the periods in which earnings are impacted by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reflected in interest expense in the statement of operations. The Company made an accounting policy election to use the exception in ASU 820-10-35-18D with respect to measuring fair value of a group of financial assets and financial

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
liabilities entered into with a particular counterparty, where the Company reports the net exposure to the credit risk of that counterparty.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments The estimated fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates carrying value as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, because of the liquid nature of the assets and relatively short maturities of the obligations. See Footnote 8. “Indebtedness” for the Company’s estimates of the fair value of its indebtedness as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Fair Value Measurements — Fair value assumptions are based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance under GAAP. The framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation inputs which was established to increase consistency, clarity and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based upon three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, two of which are considered observable and one that is considered unobservable. The following describes the three levels of fair value inputs:
Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 — Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; such as, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on the Company’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.
When market data inputs are unobservable, the Company utilizes inputs that it believes reflects the Company’s best estimate of the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Deferred Financing Costs Financing costs paid in connection with obtaining long-term debt are deferred and amortized over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the accumulated amortization of loan costs was approximately $5.1 million and $6.9 million, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation The accounting records for the Company’s one consolidated foreign location, in Vancouver, British Columbia, are maintained in the local currency and revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are reflected in stockholders’ equity as a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition For properties subject to operating leases, rental revenue is recorded on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Additional percentage rent that is due contingent upon tenant performance thresholds, such as gross revenues, is deferred until the underlying performance thresholds have been achieved. Property operating revenues from managed properties, which are not subject to leasing arrangements, are derived from room rentals, food and beverage sales, ski and spa operations, golf operations, membership dues, ticket sales, concessions, waterpark and theme park operations, resident rental fees, assistance services, and other service revenues. Such revenues, excluding membership dues, are recognized when rooms are occupied, when services have been performed, and when products are delivered. Membership dues are recognized ratably over the term of the membership period. For mortgages and other notes receivable, interest income is recognized on an accrual basis when earned, except for loans placed on non-accrual status, for which interest income is recognized when received. Any deferred portion of contractual interest is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the corresponding note. Loan origination fees charged and acquisition fees incurred in connection with the making of loans are recognized as interest income, and a reduction in interest income, respectively over the term of the notes.
Capital Improvement Reserve Income The Company’s leases require the tenants to pay certain contractual amounts that are set aside by the Company for replacements of fixed assets and other improvements to the properties. These amounts are and will remain the property of the Company during and after the term of the lease. The amounts are recorded as capital improvement reserve income at the time that they are earned and are included in rental income from operating leases in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Mortgages and Other Notes Payable Mortgages and other notes payable are recorded at the stated principal amount and are generally collateralized by the Company’s properties with monthly interest only and/or principal payments.
Self Insurance Reserves The Company has self-insured retention amounts for certain properties. Accordingly, the Company has established a liability for both known claims and claims that are incurred but not reported ("IBNR"). IBNR reserves are recorded as a component of Other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Income Taxes The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and related regulations beginning with the year ended December 31, 2004. As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to federal corporate income taxes provided it distributes at least 100% of its REIT taxable income and capital gains and meets certain other requirements for qualifying as a REIT. Subject to compliance with applicable tax law, certain properties may be operated using an eligible third-party manager. In those cases, taxable income from those operations may be subject to federal income tax. After taking into consideration the savings clause described below in "Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements," management believes that the Company was organized and operated in a manner that enabled the Company to continue to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.
Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state laws, each TRS entity of the Company is subject to taxation of income on the profits and losses from its operations. The Company accounts for federal and state income taxes with respect to its TRS entities using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and respective tax bases and operating losses and tax-credit carry forwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Earnings (loss) Per Share Earnings (loss) per share is calculated based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. For example, significant estimates and assumptions are made in connection with the allocation of purchase price and the analysis of real estate, equity method investments and for impairments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Information Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker currently evaluates the Company’s operations from a number of different operational perspectives including but not limited to a property-by-property basis and by tenant and operator. The Company derives all significant revenues from a single reportable operating segment of business, lifestyle real estate regardless of the type (ski, attractions, etc.) or ownership structure (leased or managed).
Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no effect on previously reported total assets and total liabilities, net loss or stockholders’ equity.
Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements - During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company determined that five tenants from whom it received leasehold income are viewed for federal income tax purposes as the same party who also serves as an eligible third-party manager, also known as an “independent contractor” (within the meaning of section 856(d)(3) of the Code) on behalf of the Company with respect to two properties for which the Company previously made an election pursuant to applicable Treasury Regulations to treat such properties as “foreclosure property.” Because of the relationship between the tenant entities and the independent contractor entities, the Company is viewed as deriving or receiving income from the independent contractor, it affects the Company's compliance with the federal income tax rules applicable to REITs. The “foreclosure property” elections terminated and, as of the first day following such terminations, the gross income the Company derived from such properties was not qualifying income under the gross income tests that are applicable to REITs. In order to maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company annually must satisfy certain tests regarding the source of its gross income. The applicable federal income tax rules provide a “savings clause” for REITs that fail to satisfy the REIT gross income tests if such failure is due to reasonable cause and

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
not due to willful neglect and the REIT complies with certain disclosure and filing requirements. A REIT that qualifies for the savings clause will retain its REIT status but may be required to pay a tax under section 857(b)(5) of the Code and related interest.
As a result of not being able to satisfy the gross income test described above throughout 2015, the Company's previously issued financial statements did not appropriately reflect tax expense associated with unqualified gross income in the periods in which such income was earned. The impact of this misstatement was approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an additional $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, and an additional $0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. There was no impact to the three months ended March 31, 2015 related to this misstatement due to the timing of the period in which the income was earned. Additionally, the Company has self-insured retention amounts for certain properties. Accordingly, under GAAP, the Company should establish a liability for both known claims and claims that are incurred but not reported ("IBNR"). The Company determined that the methodology utilized to establish its IBNR did not appropriately consider all costs to settle its claims related to IBNR claims. The impact of this misstatement was approximately $0.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and approximately $0.3 million for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2015, September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015.
Management evaluated the impact of the above misstatements on all previously issued financial statements and concluded that the previously issued financial statements were not materially misstated. However, the impact of recording the misstatements in the period in which they were identified would have been material to the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and the estimated results for the year ended December 31, 2016. Accordingly, the Company has revised its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, for the interim periods of 2015 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, and for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 presented in this Report on Form 10-K.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis,” which requires amendments to both the variable interest entity and voting models. The amendments (i) modify the identification of variable interests (fees paid to a decision maker or service provider), the VIE characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and primary beneficiary determination under the VIE model, and (ii) eliminate the presumption within the current voting model that a general partner controls a limited partnership or similar entity. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied using either a modified retrospective or full retrospective approach. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2016, and determined that the adoption of this ASU did not have a significant effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which requires that loan costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The ASU is to be applied retrospectively for each period presented. Upon adoption, an entity is required to comply with the applicable disclosures for a change in an accounting principle. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2015-15, “Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements,” which clarifies that, given the absence of authoritative guidance in ASU 2015-03 regarding presentation and subsequent measurement of loan costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC Staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting loan costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the loan costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2016. As permitted by ASU 2015-03, the Company retrospectively adjusted the presentation of loan costs related to its mortgage and notes payables and presented these loan costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt payable for all periods presented. As permitted by ASU 2015-15, the Company did not change the presentation of loan costs related to its line of credit arrangement and continued to present these loan costs as Other Assets on the statement of financial position.
The following table provides additional details by financial statement line item of the adjusted presentation in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 (in thousands):

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments,” which requires an acquirer to recognize provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments require that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2016, and determined that the adoption of this ASU did not have a significant effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern," which requires management to assess a company's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Under the new standard, disclosures are required when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The new standard applies to all companies and is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and all annual and interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted this ASU effective with the annual period ending December 31, 2016. The adoption of this ASU did not have an effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” as a new ASC topic (Topic 606). The core principle of this amendment is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard further provides guidance for any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, lease contracts). In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of Effective Date” which defers the original effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09 is now effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with earlier adoption permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. ASU 2014-09 can be adopted using one of two retrospective application methods: 1) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or 2) as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company has determined that it will not early adopt ASU 2014-09 as a result of the approval of the Plan of Dissolution by the Company's stockholders. The Company is still evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842): Accounting for Leases,” which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The ASU requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The ASU further modifies lessors’ classification criteria for leases and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The ASU will also require qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to give financial statement users additional information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The ASU is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company has determined that it will not early adopt this ASU as a result of the approval of the Plan of Dissolution by the Company's stockholders. The Company is still evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows if the Plan of Dissolution is not approved by stockholders.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU further clarifies how the predominance principle should be applied to cash receipts and payments relating to more than one class of cash flows. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The ASU is to be applied retrospectively for each period presented.  The Company has determined that it will not early adopt this ASU as a result of the approval of the Plan of Dissolution by the Company's stockholders. The Company is still evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated cash flows.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held Through Related Parties that are under Common Control,” which requires an entity to consider its indirect interests held by related parties that are under common control on a proportionate basis when evaluating whether the entity is a primary beneficiary of a VIE. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company will adopt this ASU on January 1, 2017 and is still evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash,” which modifies the presentation of the statement of cash flows and requires reconciliation to the overall change in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. As a result, the statement of cash flows will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The ASU is to be applied retrospectively for each period presented.  The Company has determined that it will not early adopt this ASU as a result of the approval of the Plan of Dissolution by the Company's stockholders. The Company is still evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated cash flows.

For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company had depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $66.2 million, $82.8 million and $98.0 million, respectively, excluding properties that the Company classified as discontinued operations.
The Company evaluates its properties on an ongoing basis, including any changes to intended use of the properties, operating performance of its properties or plans to dispose of assets to determine if the carrying value is recoverable. As described above in Note 1. “Organization and Nature of Business,” management and its board of directors have been actively evaluating various strategic alternatives to provide liquidity to the Company’s stockholders. As part of this process, management reviewed the operating performance for each property, developed projected cash flows and revised its cash flow assumptions to include projected capital improvement costs to remain competitive, and to retain and enhance visitations and attendance at our ski and attractions properties. The Company evaluated these revised cash flow projections and reviewed materials provided by its global investment banking and advisory firm, including revised market assumptions and other indications of value received in connection with the Company’s strategic alternatives process from several potential buyers, to determine whether it was likely that their carrying value would be recoverable. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the revised cash flows also reflected the proposed restructure of our leases with one tenant on three attractions properties. As a result of this analysis and in consideration of the potential for disposal of the properties in the near term, the Company recorded impairment provisions of approximately $123.1 million related primarily to several attractions properties to write down their book values to estimated fair values based on discounted cash flows and residual values.
In November 2016, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of its remaining 36 properties. The Company determined that the book value of certain of its ski and mountain lifestyle properties exceeded the estimated sales price less estimated costs to sell and as a result recorded an impairment provision of approximately $8.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2016.
The Company did not record an impairment provision related to real estate investment properties excluding assets held for sale during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Assets Held for Sale, Net and Discontinued Operations (continued):
Effective January 1, 2015, the Company adopted ASU 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360)" which impacted the Company's determination of which property disposals qualify as discontinued operations, as well as required disclosures about discontinued operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company sold its remaining five marina properties and its unimproved land. The Company received aggregate sales proceeds net of closing costs for the sale of these properties of approximately $50.4 million, which resulted in aggregate gains of approximately $10.6 million for financial reporting purposes, of which approximately $0.9 million and $9.7 million was recorded in continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively. No disposition fee was payable to the Advisor on the sale of the five marina properties or the unimproved land.
On April 1, 2016, as described in Note 7, "Variable Interests and Unconsolidated Entities," the Company acquired the remaining 20% interest in the Intrawest Venture, from its co-venture partner, resulting in a combined 100% controlling interest in the Intrawest Venture entities that owned seven ski and mountain lifestyle properties. In addition, upon acquisition the Company agreed to sell these seven properties to a third party buyer and in October 2016, the Company sold the seven properties. The net sales proceeds, after the payment of closing costs, for these properties was approximately $97.9 million, which resulted in an aggregate loss on sale of real estate from continuing operations of approximately $0.8 million for financial reporting purposes. No disposition fee was payable to the Advisor on the sale of these seven properties.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company sold 55 properties, including 38 senior housing properties, 12 of its 17 marinas properties, four attractions properties and one ski and mountain lifestyle property. No disposition fee was payable to the Advisor on the sale of these properties. The third party buyer of the properties assumed approximately $151.5 million of outstanding principal indebtedness collateralized by the senior housing properties that were sold. In connection with these transactions, the Company received aggregate net sales proceeds of approximately $992.7 million and recorded net gains of approximately $246.8 million for financial reporting purposes. Of the net gains recorded, approximately $46.6 million related to the sale of four attractions properties and one ski and mountain lifestyle property were recorded as gain on sale of real estate from continuing operations, and $200.2 million related to the sale of the 38 senior housing properties and 12 marinas were recorded in income (loss) from discontinued operations.
The Company accounted for the revenues and expenses related to seven ski and mountain lifestyle properties and one unimproved land property sold in 2016, and five of the 55 properties described above sold in 2015, including net gains of approximately $0.1 million and $46.6 million for the sale of real estate, during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, as income from continuing operations because the sale of these properties did not cause a strategic shift in the Company and they did not have a major impact on the Company’s business. Therefore, they did not qualify as discontinued operations under ASU 2014-08, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2015. However, the disposition of the one ski and mountain lifestyle property represented an individually significant component. The Company recorded net income (loss) from continuing operations of approximately $19.8 million (which includes approximately $13.5 million of gain on sale of real estate) and $(1.2) million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to the one ski and mountain lifestyle property classified as held for sale.
The Company recorded approximately $1.8 million and $30.4 million in impairment provisions during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to its unimproved land classified as held for sale and one attractions property, to adjust their net carrying values to revised estimated sale prices, less closing costs. Impairment provisions related to its unimproved land and one attractions property were recorded in net income (loss) from continuing operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company sold its golf portfolio (consisting of 48 properties) and one multi-family residential property. In connection with these transactions, the Company received aggregate net sales proceeds of approximately $384.3 million and recorded a net gain of approximately $4.1 million. The Company determined that the carrying values of these properties were not recoverable based on expected sales proceeds, less costs to sell, and recorded approximately $4.5 million in impairment provisions during the year ended December 31, 2014.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company approved a plan to market and sell the Company’s marinas portfolio (consisting of 17 marinas properties) and entered into a purchase and sale agreement during the year ended December 31, 2015 for the sale of these properties. The Company determined that the carrying values of these properties were not recoverable based on expected sales proceeds, less costs to sell, and recorded approximately $7.7 million and $33.4 million in impairment provisions during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Capital improvement reserves are generally based on a percentage of gross revenue of the property and are set aside by the Company for capital improvements including replacements, from time to time, of furniture, fixtures and equipment and totaled approximately $23.9 million, $21.9 million and $23.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Percentage rent is generally based on a percentage of gross revenue after it exceeds a certain threshold. Total percentage rent recorded was approximately $5.5 million, $3.3 million and $2.9 million the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In addition, substantially all of the property expenses are required to be paid directly by the tenants, including real estate taxes which the tenants pay directly to the taxing authorities. The total annualized property taxes assessed on these properties and paid directly by tenants, were approximately $5.4 million, $6.4 million and $8.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Variable Interests and Unconsolidated Entities:
Consolidated VIEs — As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had three wholly-owned subsidiaries which were determined to be VIEs, as the wholly-owned subsidiaries are designed as single property entities to own and lease their respective properties to single tenant operators, which are VIEs due to future buy-out options held by the respective tenants and of which the tenants can exercise but have not elected to do so. The three buy-out options expire between 2030 and 2032. The Company determined it is the primary beneficiary and holds a controlling financial interest in each of these entities due to the Company’s power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities, as well as its obligation to absorb the losses and its right to receive benefits from these entities that could potentially be significant to these entities. As such, the transactions and accounts of these VIEs are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The aggregate carrying amount and major classifications of the consolidated assets that can be used to settle obligations of the VIEs and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs that are non-recourse to the Company are as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these VIEs is limited to its net investment in these entities which totaled approximately $41.3 million and $45.1 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company’s exposure is limited because of the non-recourse nature of the borrowings of the VIEs.
Unconsolidated Entities — As of December 31, 2014, the Company held an ownership interest in the DMC Partnership of $104.4 million. The Company sold its 81.98% interest in the DMC Partnership in April 2015 and received net sales proceeds of approximately $139.5 million from its co-venture partner, which resulted in a gain of approximately $39.3 million for financial reporting purposes. No disposition fee was paid to the Advisor on the sale of the DMC Partnership. The Company accounted for its pro-rata share of the net earnings of its investment in the DMC Partnership as continuing operations because although the properties owned by the DMC Partnership were outliers compared to the other assets invested in by the Company, the sale of the Company’s interest in the DMC Partnership did not cause a strategic shift in the Company, and it was not considered to have a major impact on the Company’s business; therefore, it did not qualify as discontinued operations under ASU 2014-08.
As of December 31, 2015, the Company held an 80% ownership interest in the Intrawest Venture with a carrying value of approximately $73.4 million. The Company had classified its investment in the Intrawest Venture, an unconsolidated entity, as a VIE and concluded it was not the primary beneficiary. On April 1, 2016, the Company satisfied the terms and conditions under the buy-sell provisions of the Intrawest Venture partnership agreement, acquired its co-venture partner's 20% interest in the Intrawest Venture for a nominal amount and as part of the Company's evaluation of strategic alternatives, upon acquiring the 20% interest, the Company agreed to sell the seven ski and mountain lifestyle properties. In conjunction with the acquisition of the remaining 20% interest, in April 2016, the Company contributed $5.8 million to the Intrawest Venture and the Intrawest Venture used the proceeds and repaid a mezzanine loan from its joint venture partner and related accrued interest of $5.8 million.
On April 1, 2016, the nominal consideration paid to acquire the remaining 20% interest, along with the approximate $79.5 million carrying value of the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated entity, was less than the fair value of the net assets acquired, which resulted in a gain of approximately $30.0 million in connection with this transaction. The Company determined the fair values of the real estate based on anticipated sales proceeds from the anticipated sale of the seven ski and mountain lifestyle properties, less costs to sell. The Company determined that the fair value of cash, trade receivables and trade payable (“Working Capital, net”) approximated their carrying values.

In October 2016, the Company completed the sale of these seven properties and recognized a loss on sale of real estate of approximately $0.8 million. The revenues and net income attributable to the Company's acquisition of the Intrawest Venture from April 2016 through October 2016, were approximately $9.4 million and $3.7 million (which includes $0.8 million loss on sale of real estate), respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2016. There were no acquisitions of unconsolidated entities in 2015 and 2014.

The $1.4 million loan is non-interest bearing.

 
Senior Unsecured Notes In June 2015, the Company repaid all of its senior unsecured notes with an outstanding principal balance of $318.3 million at a premium of 103.625%. In connection with this repayment, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $18.8 million.
Line of Credit — As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a revolving line of credit with a total borrowing capacity of $100 million. This revolving line of credit facility bore interest at (a) between LIBOR plus 3.0% and LIBOR plus 3.75% or (b) between a base rate (the greater of the prime rate and the federal funds rate) plus 2.0% and a base rate plus 2.75% (both LIBOR and base rate pricing are contingent upon certain leverage ratios). In August 2016, the Company terminated its $100 million revolving line of credit.
Mortgages and Other Notes Payable — During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company sold its remaining five marinas properties and used a portion of the net sales proceeds to repay approximately $10.5 million of outstanding indebtedness collateralized by three of the marina properties.

The Company has scheduled debt repayments and maturities of $138.5 million within the next twelve months. As a result of obtaining stockholder approval for the Sale of its remaining 36 properties, the Company intends to repay its outstanding indebtedness using net sales proceeds from the Sale which it anticipates will occur during the second quarter of 2017. In the event the Sale does not occur, the Company plans to refinance its debt.
The estimated fair values of mortgages and other notes payable were approximately $146.3 million and $185.4 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, based on rates and spreads the Company would expect to obtain for similar borrowings with similar loan terms. Because this methodology includes inputs that are less observable by the public and are not necessarily reflected in active markets, the measurement of the estimated fair values related to the Company’s mortgage notes payable is categorized as Level 3 on the three-level valuation hierarchy.
Capital Lease Obligations — As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had capital lease obligations of approximately $4.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively, which were recorded in Other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (continued):
As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s hedge qualified as highly effective and, accordingly, all of the change in value is reflected in other comprehensive income (loss). Determining fair value and testing effectiveness of these financial instruments requires management to make certain estimates and judgments. Changes in assumptions could have a positive or negative impact on the estimated fair values and measured effectiveness of such instruments could, in turn, impact the Company’s results of operations.

10.
Fair Value Measurements:
The Company had 14 real estate investment properties that were carried at fair value as of December 31, 2015, as a result of writing down the book values of these properties to their estimated fair values based on estimated discounted cash flows and residual values during 2015. Additionally, the Company had six investment properties that were classified as assets held for sale and carried at fair value as of December 31, 2015, based on estimated sales price less costs to sell. The Level 3 unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of the real estate properties include, but are not limited to, appraisal information from an independent appraisal firm affiliated with the independent investment banking firm engaged as our valuation advisor, comparable sales transactions and other information from brokers and potential buyers, as applicable. The Company did not have any real estate investment properties that were carried at fair value as of December 31, 2016.
The Company’s derivative instrument is valued primarily based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, volatilities, and credit risks) and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of derivative instrument also includes a credit value adjustment which is a Level 3 input. However, the impact of the assumption is not significant to its overall valuation calculation, and therefore the Company considers its derivative instrument to be classified as Level 2. The fair value of such derivative instrument is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The following tables show the Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, as follows (in thousands):

Income Taxes:
The Company would typically be subject to income tax expense computed at the federal statutory rate, however, due to its election as a REIT and the qualification of all required conditions to make such election, the Company is not subject to income taxes other than as discussed above in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies.” In 2016 the Company determined it did not satisfy the gross income test required to qualify as a REIT and as a result accrued an income tax liability of approximately $9.8 million as of December 31, 2015. The Company revised its estimate of this liability to $8.4 million as of December 31, 2016, which resulted in a $1.4 million income tax benefit during the year ending December 31, 2016.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded net current and long-term deferred tax assets related to depreciation differences, deferred income, and net operating losses at its TRS subsidiaries and properties under foreclosure elections as a result of certain tenant defaults and lease terminations. Because there are no historical earnings and no certainty that such deferred tax assets will be available to offset future tax liabilities, the Company has established a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. The components of the deferred taxes recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s TRS subsidiaries had net operating loss carry-forwards for federal and state purposes of approximately $269.0 million and $264.6 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, to offset future taxable income. The estimated net operating loss carry-forwards will expire between 2025 and 2036.
The Company analyzed its material tax positions and determined that it has not taken any uncertain tax positions. In addition, the Company has determined that no significant differences exist between the total income tax expense or benefit and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income rate to its TRS income before taxes and after consideration of the impact of the valuation allowance.

Concentrations of Risk:
The Company’s real estate investment portfolio is geographically diversified with properties in 18 states and Canada. The Company owns ski and mountain lifestyle properties in nine states and Canada with a majority of those properties located in the northeast, California and Canada. The Company’s attractions properties are located in eleven states with a majority located in the southern and western United States.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, we had one tenant who generated more than 10% of total revenues from continuing operations. This tenant operates seven of our ski and mountain lifestyle properties and represented approximately $43.1 million of our consolidated revenues from continuing operations.

15.
Commitments and Contingencies:
The Company acquired certain properties that are on land owned by a governmental entity or other third party where the Company owns a leasehold interest which requires payment of ground lease and permit fees in accordance with the lease agreement. For properties that are subject to a leasing arrangement, ground leases and permit fees are paid by the tenants and the Company records the corresponding equivalent revenue in rental income from operating leases. For properties that are on a managed structure, ground leases and permit fees are paid by the Company.

Subsequent Events:
In January 2017, the Company extended the maturity dates of two of its mortgage loans from April 5, 2017 to October 5, 2017. All other terms remained the same.
On March 24, 2017, the stockholders approved the sale of the Company’s remaining 36 properties pursuant to the Sale Agreement. The stockholders also approved the Plan of Dissolution, including the complete liquidation and dissolution of the Company following the closing of the sale of its remaining assets. As a result of the approval of the Plan of Dissolution, the Company will adopt the liquidation basis of accounting as of March 31, 2017 and for the periods subsequent to March 31, 2017 in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, on March 31, 2017, the Company's assets will be adjusted to their estimated liquidation value, which will represent the estimated amount of cash and stock that it will collect on disposal of assets as it carries out its Plan of Dissolution. Additionally, the Company will accrue costs and income that it expects to incur and earn through the end of liquidation to the extent it has a reasonable basis for estimation.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on management’s assessment, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in “Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013)”.
Pursuant to rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission, this annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the most recent fiscal quarter, there was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined under Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Board of Directors Leadership Structure: Board Independence and Role in Risk Oversight
The board of directors is currently comprised of five directors, with Mr. Seneff serving as the chairman of the board of directors. The Bylaws allow the roles of chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer to be separated or

87


combined, and the board of directors believes that it is appropriate to have these as separate positions at this time on account of the varying strengths, experiences and relationships of each of these individuals in the real estate industry. The chairman, Mr. Seneff, has unique knowledge, experience and relationships with the board of directors and management and within a broad spectrum of the real estate market, and his continued role as chairman provides significant value to the Company. Mr. Mauldin, the president and chief executive officer, has extensive experience and relationships in the sectors in which the Company acquires and owns real estate properties and the board of directors believes that these attributes are complementary to the strengths of Mr. Seneff.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, each of Dr. Douglas and Messrs. Ford and Woody served as Independent Directors. Although the Company’s shares are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Company applies the exchange’s standards of independence to its own outside directors and for the year ended December 31, 2016, each of Dr. Douglas Messrs. Ford and Woody met the definition of “independent” under Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards.
The Audit Committee focuses on the adequacy of the Company’s enterprise risk management and risk mitigation processes. The Audit Committee meets regularly to discuss the strategic direction and the issues and opportunities facing the Company in light of trends and developments in the REIT industry and general business environment. Throughout the year, the board of directors provides guidance to management regarding the Company’s strategy and helps to refine its operating plans to implement the Company’s strategy. The Audit Committee holds meetings with senior management, PricewaterhouseCoopers and internal audit to review the categories of risk the Company faces, including any risk concentrations and risk interrelationships, as well as the likelihood of occurrence, the potential impact of those risks and mitigating measures. The involvement of the Audit Committee in setting the Company’s business strategy is critical to the determination of the types and appropriate levels of risk undertaken by the Company. The board of directors role in risk oversight of the Company is consistent with the Company’s leadership structure, with the president and chief executive officer and other members of senior management having responsibility for assessing and managing the Company’s risk exposure, and the board of directors and the Audit Committee providing oversight of risk management efforts.
Board of Directors Meetings During Fiscal Year 2016
The board of directors met 11 times during 2016. Each member of the board of directors attended at least 75% of the total board of directors meetings. During 2016, the Audit Committee held four meetings and each member of the Audit Committee attended 100% of the total meetings. In addition, the Valuation Committee met two times in 2016, and each member of the Valuation Committee attended all of the meetings. The Special Committee met five times in 2016, and each member of the Special Committee attended all of the meetings, with the exception of Dr. Douglas, who attended all but one meeting. Although the Company does not have a policy on director attendance at the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2016 Annual Meeting”), directors are encouraged to do so. All the directors of the Company attended the 2016 Annual Meeting.
Committees of the Board of Directors
The Company has a standing Audit Committee, the members of which are selected by the board of directors each year. During 2016, the Audit Committee was comprised of Dr. Bruce Douglas and Messrs. Adam J. Ford, and Robert, J. Woody, each of whom was determined to be “independent” under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange referenced above. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the board of directors. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is posted on the Company’s website at www.cnlifestylereit.com. The Audit Committee assists the board of directors by providing oversight responsibilities relating to:
The integrity of financial reporting;
The independence, qualifications and performance of the Company’s independent auditors;
The systems of internal controls;
The performance of the Company’s internal audit function;
Compliance with management’s audit, accounting and financial reporting policies and procedures; and
Company risk management.
In addition, the Audit Committee engages and is responsible for the compensation and oversight of the Company’s independent auditors and internal auditors. In performing these functions, the Audit Committee meets periodically with the independent auditors, management and internal auditors (including private sessions) to review the results of their work. During

88


the year ended December 31, 2016, the Audit Committee met four times with the Company’s independent auditors, internal auditors and management to discuss the annual and quarterly financial reports prior to filing them with the Commission. The Audit Committee has determined that Mr. Ford is an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules and regulations of the Commission for purposes of Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
In August 2013 the board of directors initiated a process to estimate the Company’s net asset value per share and created a special committee, comprised solely of Independent Directors, charged with oversight of the Company’s valuation process (the “Valuation Committee”).
In May 2014 the board of directors initiated a process to oversee the exploration of strategic alternatives and created a special committee, comprised solely of Independent Directors, charged with oversight of the Company’s strategic alternative process (the “Special Committee”).
Currently, the Company does not have a nominating committee, and therefore, does not have a nominating committee charter. The board of directors is of the view that it is not necessary to have a nominating committee at this time because the board of directors is composed of only five members, including a majority of “independent directors” (as defined under the New York Stock Exchange listing standards), and each director is responsible for identifying and recommending qualified board of directors candidates. The board of directors does not have a formal policy regarding diversity. The board of directors considers many factors with regard to each candidate, including judgment, integrity, diversity, prior professional experience, background, the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other board of directors members, the extent to which the candidate would be desirable as a member of the Audit Committee, and the candidate’s willingness to devote substantial time and effort to board of directors responsibilities.
Company stockholders may recommend individuals to the board of directors for consideration as potential director candidates by timely submitting their names and appropriate background and biographical information to the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s offices. Assuming that the appropriate information has been timely provided, the board of directors will consider these candidates substantially in the same manner as it considers other board of directors candidates it identifies.
Currently, the Company does not have a compensation committee because it does not have any employees and does not separately compensate its executive officers for their services as officers. At such time, if any, as the Company’s shares of common stock are listed on a national securities exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market or the Company has employees to whom it directly provides compensation, the Company will form a compensation committee, the members of which will be selected by the full board of directors each year.
Corporate Governance
The board of directors has adopted corporate governance policies and procedures that the board of directors believes are in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders as well as compliant with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC’s rules and regulations. In particular:
The majority of the board of directors are Independent Directors and all of the members of the Audit Committee are Independent Directors.
The board of directors has adopted a charter for the Audit Committee. One member of the Audit Committee is an “audit committee financial expert” under SEC rules.
The Audit Committee hires, determines compensation of, and decides the scope of services performed by the Company’s independent auditors.
The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct that applies to all directors and officers of the Company as well as all directors, officers and employees of the Company’s Advisor. The Code of Business Conduct sets forth the basic principles to guide their day-to-day activities.
The Company has adopted a Whistleblower Policy that applies to the Company and all employees of the Company’s Advisor, and establishes procedures for the anonymous submission of employee complaints or concerns regarding financial statement disclosures, accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters.
The Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Whistleblower Policy are available on the Company’s website at www.cnllifestylereit.com.

Audit fees also include fees for services performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers that are closely related to the audit and in many cases could only be provided by the Company’s independent auditors. Such services include consents related to the Company’s registration statements, assistance with and review of other documents filed with the Commission and accounting advice on completed transactions.
Audit-Related Fees – Consists of services related to audits of properties acquired, due diligence services related to contemplated property acquisitions and accounting consultations.

All Other Fees – There were no professional services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers that would be classified as other fees during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services
Under the Company’s Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditors in order to assure that the provisions of such services do not impair the auditor’s independence. The policy, as described below and set forth in the Audit Committee Charter sets forth conditions and procedures for such pre-approval of services to be performed by the independent auditor and utilizes both a framework of general pre-approval for certain specified services and specific pre-approval for all other services.
The annual audit services, as well as all audit-related services (assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the auditor’s review of the financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor), requires the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may, however, grant general pre-approval for other audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide (such as comfort letters or consents). The Audit Committee has pre-approved all tax services and may grant general pre-approval for those permissible non-audit services that it has classified as “all other services” because it believes such services are routine and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the auditor.
The fee amounts for all services to be provided by the independent auditor are established annually by the Audit Committee, and any proposed service fees exceeding approved levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Requests to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee are submitted to the Audit Committee by the independent auditor, the chief financial officer and the chief executive officer, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request is consistent with the Commission’s rules on auditor independence.
