PART I

Item 1.

Item 1. Business

Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on June 20, 1979. It was formed to acquire an existing golf course and tennis club located in Pasco County, Florida, and develop it into a condominium resort and residential homes project named Saddlebrook Resort (the “Resort”). In November 1988, the Company transferred its real estate development division to its prior parent company and retained only its operation of the Resort.

The Company is currently owned by Saddlebrook Holdings, Inc., which is ultimately owned by Thomas L. Dempsey and his family. Mr. Dempsey acquired the Company from its prior parent company in November 1988.

Based on its numerous awards, the Resort has a reputation as a world-class facility that caters to corporate meeting planners and sports enthusiasts at all skill levels. As a destination resort, it offers luxury accommodations, convention facilities, restaurants, two golf courses, tennis courts, a spa and other recreational areas. An accredited preparatory school at the Resort and anon-site real estate sales office are operated by affiliates of the Company.

The Resort’s accommodations are condominium units that have been sold to third parties or to affiliates of the Company. The majority of the condominium units participate in a rental-pooling program (the “Rental Pool”) that provides its owners with a percentage distribution of related room revenues minus certain fees and expenses. The remainder of the condominium units participate in anon-pooling rental program, are owner-occupied or are designated as hospitality suites or housing for young athletes independent of the rental programs.

All of the Resort’s condominium units are governed by the Saddlebrook Resort Condominium Association, Inc. (the “Association”) in accordance with Florida statutes. The Board of Directors for the Association is elected by the condominium unit owners. The condominium unit owners also approve an annual budget of common expenses for the Association that determines the quarterly assessments that must be paid regardless of the units’ participation in rental programs.

A Resort condominium unit’s participation in a rental program also requires a club membership at the Resort with its separate initiation fees and quarterly dues. The club membership is directed by a Board of Governors appointed by the Company’s management.

The Company’s operation of the Resort is not considered to be dependent upon the availability of raw materials, nor the effect of the duration of patents, licenses, franchises or concessions held.

The Resort’s business is considered to be seasonal with a higher volume of sales during the winter and spring seasons.

Although the Resort’s reputation in the conference-hosting industry is excellent, the market for these services is extremely competitive. Consequently, the Resort aggressively competes against numerous resort hotels and convention facilities both in central Florida and nationwide.

At December 31, 2019,2020, there were approximately 428170 persons employed by the Company. The Company’s management relationship with its employees is excellent and there are no collective bargaining agreements.

Item 2. Properties

Saddlebrook Resort is located in Wesley Chapel, Florida, which is in south central Pasco County, immediately north of Tampa, Florida.

The Resort is inside the gated community of Saddlebrook. The Resort’s property includes approximately 480 acres of land that are owned by the Company and an affiliate. Located on the Resort’s property are convention facilities with over 95,000 square feet of meeting and function space, three restaurants, two18-hole golf courses, 45 tennis courts, a7,000-square foot luxury health spa, a7,500-square foot fitness center, three swimming pools, shops, and other operational and recreation areas.

A total of 556 condominium units are at the Resort comprised ofone-,two- and three-bedroom suites. Of these condominium units, 408 are designed for hotel occupancy and located in an area called the Walking Village. The remaining 148 are slightly larger, designed for longer-termed rental, and are located in an area called the Lakeside Village. At December 31, 2019,2020, there were 513508 hotel accommodations participating in the Rental Pool. The three-bedroom condominium units become hotel accommodations as atwo-bedroom suite with a separate adjoining hotel room. Sometwo-bedroom condominium units become hotel accommodations as aone-bedroom suite with a separate adjoining hotel room.

Item 3.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

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

PART II

Item 5.

Item 5. Market for the Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The Company’s stock is privately held and there is no established market for the stock.

The right to participate in a rental pool that accompanies the condominium units that were developed and sold by the Company is deemed to be a security. However, there is no market for such securities other than the normal real estate market.

Since the security is the participation right in a rental pool, no dividends have been paid or will be paid to condominium unit owners. However, the condominium unit owners participating in the Rental Pool receive a contractual distribution of rent from the Company quarterly.

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

General

The Company operates the Resort, which contains condominium units that have been sold to third parties or to affiliates of the Company. The majority of the condominium units are hotel accommodations that participate in the Rental Pool. Other resort facilities owned by the Company and its affiliates include golf courses, tennis courts, a spa, restaurants and a conference center.

Recent Accounting and Reporting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2019,In August 2020, the Company adopted the provisions ofFinancial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2016-02,2020-06, “Leases,” which createdamends and simplifies existing guidance in an effort to reduce the complexity of accounting for convertible instruments and to provide financial statement users with more meaningful information. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. This update may be applied retrospectively or on a new Topic 842 within the Accounting Standards Codification. Topic 842 established the core principle that a lessee should recognize the assets, representingrights-of-use, and liabilities to make lease payments, that arise from leases.

The Company adopted the standard using an optional transition method allowedmodified retrospective basis with the issuancecumulative effect recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of ASUretained earnings on the date of adoption. Additionally, this update provides for a 2018-11,one-time “Leases – Targeted Improvements (Topic 842),” in July 2018. ASU2018-11 providesirrevocable election by entities the option to not provide comparative period financial statements and instead apply the transition requirementsfair value option in accordance with ASC Topic 825-10,Financial Instruments -Overall,” for any liability-classified convertible securities, with the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the effective datebeginning of the new standard. Pursuant to additional guidance under Topic 842, the Company also elected the optional packageperiod of practical expedients, which allowed the Company toadoption. We do not reassess: (i) whether expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) lease classification foranticipate any expired or existing leases; and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. As a result, the consolidated balance sheet prior to January 1, 2019 was not restated, continues to be reported under ASC 840, “Leases”, which did not require the recognition of operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, and is not comparative. Under Topic 842, all leases are required to be recorded on the balance sheet and are classified as either operating leases or finance leases, which is determined at the inception of the lease. The Company also elected under the package of practical expedients, to combine lease andnon-lease components.

Under the new standard, the Company’s lease liability is based on the present value of such payments and the relatedright-of-use asset will generally be based on the lease liability.impact upon adoption.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The following accounting policies are considered critical by the Company’s management. These and other accounting policies require that estimates be made based on assumptions and judgment that affect revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingencies in the Company’s financial statements. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from these estimates due to different conditions.


Asset Impairments—Impairments - The Company’s management periodically evaluates whether there has been a permanent impairment of long-lived assets. The Company’s management believes that the accounting estimates related to asset impairments are critical estimates for the following reasons: (1) the ongoing changes in management’s expectations regarding future utilization of assets; and (2) the impact of an impairment on reported assets and earnings could be material. During the years ended December 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the Company’s management evaluated long-lived assets for impairment and concluded that no impairment charge was necessary during the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows (excluding interest charges) from its assets exceeded theiryears then current carrying values. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize an impairment charge.ended.


Depreciation Expense—Expense - The Company provides for depreciation using the straight-line method at annual rates that amortize the original costs, net of salvage values, of the depreciable assets over their estimated useful lives. Management’s estimation of assets’ useful lives are critical estimates for the following reasons: (1) forecasting the salvage value for long-lived assets over a long period of time is subjective; (2) changes may take place that could render an asset obsolete or uneconomical; and (3) a change in the useful life of a long-lived asset could have a material impact on reported results of operations and reported asset values. The Company’s management believes the estimated useful life corresponds to the anticipated physical life for most assets. Although it is difficult to predict values far into the future, the Company has a long history of actual costs and values that are considered in reaching a conclusion as to the appropriate useful life of an asset.

Revenue Recognition—Recognition - Resort revenues are recognized as performance obligations are satisfied which is generally as services are performed or products are delivered with the exception of initiation fee revenue, which is recognized over the average life of the memberships. Resort revenues also include rental revenues for condominium units owned by third parties participating in the Rental Pool. If these rental units were owned by the Company, normal costs associated with ownership such as depreciation, real estate taxes, unit maintenance and other costs would have been incurred.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—Accounts – The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable based upon factors surrounding specific customers, historical trends and other information.

Loss Contingencies—Contingencies – The Company estimates loss contingencies in accordance with FASB ASC450-20Loss Contingencies, which states that a loss contingency shall be accrued by a charge to income if both of the following conditions are met: (a) information available before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued indicates that it is probable that a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (b) the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of our litigation matters will have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. As such, there have been no adjustments for loss contingencies to the accompanying financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

See the Notes to the Financial Statements for Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. in Item 8 hereof for additional accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Impact of Current Economic Conditions

The Company experienced a significant decrease in revenue for the year ending December 31, 20182020 compared to the previous year. The Company is optimistic the trend will improve during 2020;2021; however, actual results may differ from expectations. The decrease in expenses for the year ending December 31, 20192020 as compared to the prior year is a result of decreased occupancy and reductions in wages, benefits, and operating expenses.


Toward the end of December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus(“COVID-19”) emerged emerged globally. TheCOVID-19 outbreak outbreak in the United States has resulted in a reduction of hotel occupancy and cancellations of future reservations. It is difficult to estimate the length or severity of this outbreak; however, a significant reduction in occupancy caused byCOVID-19 is is expected to affect the Company’s results of operations and financial position.


The Company continues its marketing efforts toward the social clientele by developing packages designed to target more social guests, including families. These social packages are being promoted through the Company’s website as well as through travel wholesalers and with emphasis one-commerce sites. sites. Management has implemented programs and measures to help the Company get back to positive operating income. These programs and measures include cost control programs, consolidation of restaurant operations and efforts to increase brand awareness and recognition of the Resort.

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from the Company’s ultimate shareholder to the extent required to supportcurrent stockholder and the Company’s operations. The Company’s loans outstanding due to certain affiliated companies were forgiven during 2019 and was recorded as a capital transaction due to the related party nature. In addition to the shareholder’s financial ability these affiliated companies are expected to continue to generate sufficient cash flows from operations. As there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve positive cash flows during fiscal year 2020 should additional funding be required to support(become profitable), there is substantial doubt about the Company’s operations.ability to continue as a going concern.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and 15d – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be reported in the Company’s SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of December 31, 2019,2020, under the direction of our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

In addition, management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control framework and processes are designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and the Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States.

AsThe Company’s management has assessed the effectiveness of December 31, 2019, management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based onas of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework issuedset forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Tread way Commission. BasedTreadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Due to a lack of accounting personnel, the Company’s inability to segregate various accounting functions, lack of a control function over original documentation of agreements, and a lack of a documented control environment with respect to our operating entities, management has concluded that there was a material weakness in our internal control environment based on the assessment, managementthese matters and has concluded that as of December 31, 2019, the Company’s2020, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must be considered relative to its cost. Because of the inherent limitation in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within the Company have been detected.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2019,2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholder and the Board of Directors of

Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc.

Wesley Chapel, Florida

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. (“the Company”(the “Company”) as of December 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, and the related statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in shareholder’s equity, (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB)(“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Organization and Business

Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. (the “Company” or “SRI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saddlebrook Holdings, Inc. (“SHI” or the “Parent Company”), was incorporated in the State of Florida in June 1979 at which time it purchased a golf course and tennis complex, as well as certain undeveloped land, located in Pasco County, Florida, which was developed as a resort-condominium and residential homes project. Property improvements for the resort include condominiums, most of which were sold to outside parties. The majority of the condominium units sold are provided as hotel accommodations by their owners under a Rental Pool and Agency Appointment Agreement (the “Rental Pool”). Other resort facilities include two18-hole golf courses, 45 tennis courts, three swimming pools, three restaurants, a convention facility with approximately 95,000 square feet of meeting and function space, a health spa, a fitness center, shops, and other facilities necessary for the operation of a resort.

Significant Accounting Policies

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies are as follows:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.estimates, particularly given the significant social and economic disruptions and uncertainties associated with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) and the COVID-19 control responses.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Escrowed Cash

All short-term highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less is considered to be cash equivalents.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the accompanying balance sheets with the total of these amounts shown in the accompanying statements of cash flows:

Accounts Receivable

Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from direct billings to companies or individuals who hold conferences or large group stays at the resort. Other receivables include quarterly membership fees and credit card charges. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding specific customers, historical trends and other information. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable, although advance deposits may be required in certain circumstances.

Resort Inventory and Supplies

Inventory includes operating materials and supplies, principally food and beverage, golf and tennis merchandise, and is accounted for at the lower offirst-in,first-out, average cost or market.

Property, Buildings and Equipment

Property, buildings and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets on a straight-line basis.

Certain expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When property, buildings and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed, the cost of the assets and related accumulated depreciation amounts are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in operations.

Asset Impairments

The Company’s management periodically evaluates whether there has been a permanent impairment of long-lived assets (property, buildings and equipment), in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. During the years ended December 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the Company’s management evaluated long-lived assets for impairment and concluded that the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows (excluding interest charges) from its assets exceeded their then current carrying values. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize anno impairment losscharge was necessary during the years ended December 31, 2019 or 2018.then ended.

Debt Issuance Costs

Finance costs represent costs incurred in connection with the refinancing of the Company’s long-term debt. Amortization expense for finance costs, included in interest expense on the accompanying statements of operations, amounted to approximately $17,800$33,400 and $26,600$17,800 for the years ended December 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively.

Deferred Income

Deferred income includes deferred liabilities related to the sale of gift certificates, prepaid dues, and deferred income of membership initiation fees. Revenue from gift certificates is recorded when the certificate is redeemed. Revenue from dues is recorded over the annual membership period, and the deferred membership initiation fees are recognized over the historical average life of a membership which approximates 12 years.

Resort Revenues

Resort revenues are recognized as services are performed or products are delivered with the exception of initiation fee revenue, which is recognized over the average life of the memberships. Resort revenues also include rental revenues for condominium units owned by third parties participating in the Rental Pool. If these rental units were owned by the Company, normal costs associated with ownership such as depreciation, real estate taxes, unit maintenance and other costs would have been incurred. Instead, operating costs of the resort for the years ended December 31, 20192020 and 20182019 include rental pool distributions to participants and the maintenance escrow fund approximating $2,600,000$1,100,000 and $3,100,000,$2,600,000, respectively. See Note 3—Revenue for the required disclosures per the guidance in ASC 606.

Advertising

The Company charges costs of advertising to sales and marketing as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs of approximately $248,000$158,000 and $404,000$248,000 during the years ended December 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company is currently a Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary. Accordingly, no income tax expense was reflected in the Company’s operating results as the tax is assessed to the shareholders of its parent company.

Management has determined that the Company had no uncertain income tax positions that could have a significant effect on the financial statements at December 31, 20192020 and 2018.2019. The parent company’s federal income tax returns for 2016, 2017 and 2018 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally for a period of three years after the federal income tax returns were filed.

ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. This update may be applied retrospectively or on a new Topic 842 within the Accounting Standards Codification. Topic 842 established the core principle that a lessee should recognize the assets, representingrights-of-use, and liabilities to make lease payments, that arise from leases.

The Company adopted the standard using an optional transition method allowedmodified retrospective basis with the issuancecumulative effect recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of ASUretained earnings on the date of adoption.

December 31, 2020 and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. As a result, the consolidated balance sheet prior to January 1, 2019 was not restated, continues to be reported under ASC 840, “Leases”, which did not require the recognition of operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, and is not comparative. Under Topic 842, all leases are required to be recorded on the balance sheet and are classified as either operating leases or finance leases, which is determined at the inception of the lease. The Company also elected under the package of practical expedients, to combine lease andnon-lease components.

Under the new standard, the Company’s lease liability is based on the present value of such payments and the relatedright-of-use asset will generally be based on the lease liability.

See Note 6 for additional information regarding operating leases.

3.    Revenue

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“the new revenue standard”) using the modified retrospective method. The Company assessed the basis of their various revenue streams and did not need to record a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit upon adoption of the new revenue standard as of January 1, 2018. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a company transfers the promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects consideration that is expected to be received for those goods and services.

Adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flow, accounting policies, business processes, internal controls or disclosures.

Contract Balances

Timing differences among revenue recognition may result in contract assets or liabilities. Contract liabilities consists of guest deposits and deferred income and totaled approximately $2,807,000$3,342,000 and $3,845,000$2,807,000 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively. Approximately $3,296,000 of contract liabilities at December 31, 2018 were recognized as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2019. Contract assets consist of escrowed cash relating to rental pool owner deposits for the maintenance reserve fund and long-term security deposits and totaled approximately $1,124,000$977,000 and $1,880,000$1,124,000 as of December 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively.

Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts have not been material to the consolidated financial statements.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under the new revenue recognition standard. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of our revenue transactional and the contracts performance obligation is generally satisfied at the time of the transaction.

Management’s Plans Regarding Liquidity and Capital ResourcesGoing Concern

The Company experienced a significant decrease in revenue for the year ending December 31, 20192020 compared to the previous year. The Company is optimistic the trend will improve during 2020;2021; however, actual results may differ from expectations. The decrease in expenses for the year ending December 31, 20192020 as compared to the prior year is a result of decreased occupancy and reductions in wages, benefits, and operating expenses.

The Company continues its marketing efforts toward the social clientele by developing packages designed to target more social guests, including families. These social packages are being promoted through the Company’s website as well as through travel wholesalers and with emphasis one-commerce sites. Management has implemented programs and measures to help the Company get back to positive operating income. These programs and measures include cost control programs, consolidation of restaurant operations and efforts to increase brand awareness and recognition of the Resort.

Towards the end of December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus(“COVID-19”) emerged emerged globally. TheCOVID-19 outbreak outbreak in the United States has resulted in a reduction of hotel occupancy and cancellations of future reservations. It is difficult to estimate the length or severity of this outbreak; however, a significant reduction in occupancy caused byCOVID-19 is is expected to affect the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

The Company’s ultimate shareholder hasThese financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the financial ability and intent toCompany will continue to fundmeet its obligations and continue its operations through affiliated companies that are 100% owned byfor the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from the Company’s ultimate shareholder to the extent required to supportcurrent stockholder and the Company’s operations. The Company’s loans outstanding due to the affiliated companies were forgiven during 2019 and was recorded as a capital transaction due to the related party nature. In addition to the shareholders financial ability these affiliated companies are expected to continue to generate sufficient cash flows from operations. As there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve positive cash flows during fiscal year 2020 should additional funding be required to support(become profitable), there is substantial doubt about the Company’s operations.ability to continue as a going concern.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In the opinion of management, these matters are adequately covered by insurance or indemnification from other third parties and/or the effect, if any, of these claims is not material to the reported financial condition or results of operations of the Company as of December 31, 2019.2020.

Investment in Stock

In 1993,COVID-19 Pandemic and Paycheck Protection Program Note Payable – On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 11, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 include restrictions on travel, quarantines, or “stay-at-home” restrictions in certain areas and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. COVID-19 and actions taken to mitigate it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets globally, including the geographical area in which the Company invested inoperates.

While it is unknown how long these conditions will last and formed a captive insurance company, Resort Hotel Insurancewhat the complete financial impact will be, the Company (“RHIC”), with other resorts participating in Resort Hotel Association (“RHA”), an insurance risk purchasing group. The Company retained an equity interest in and paid insurance premiums to RHIC. The Company’s ownership was approximately 20% and all amounts contributed as capital ($132,866 as of December 31, 2018) andis closely monitoring the increase in equity cumulative to date ($513,951 as of December 31, 2018) are recorded as a component of prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying balance sheets. Any change in equity is reflected as a component of other income in the statements of operations. The Company’s investment approximates the proportionate net book valueimpact of the insurance companyCOVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of the business/operations and are unable at December 31, 2018.this time to predict the continued impact that COVID-19 will have on their business, financial position, and operating results in future periods due to numerous uncertainties.

As discussed in Note 9, the Company received a PPP loan for an amount of approximately $2,949,000, which was established under the CARES Act and administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The Company’s stockapplication for the PPP loan requires the Company to, in RHICgood faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operation of the Company. This certification further requires the Company to take into account their current business activity and ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support the ongoing operations in a manner that is restricted and may not be sold in the open market. The Company may withdraw from RHA annually at the renewal date of any of its property or casualty policies. During 2019, the ownership interest in RHIC was transferredsignificantly detrimental to the Company’s parent company, Saddlebrook Holdings, Inc., through a related party transaction prior tobusiness. The receipt of the funds from the PPP loan and the forgiveness of advances owedthe PPP loan is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the PPP loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such PPP loan based on funds being used for certain expenditures such as describedpayroll costs and rent, as required by the terms of the PPP loan. If the SBA determines that the PPP loan was not properly obtained and/or expenditures supporting forgiveness were not appropriate, the Company would need to repay some or all of the PPP loan and record additional expense which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations in Note 11.a future period.

Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 20192020 and 20182019

 

 

1.

Rental Pool Operations and Rental Pool Agreement

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

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

Rental pool participants and Saddlebrook share rental revenues according to the provisions of the Agreement. Net Rental Income shared consists of rentals received less a marketing surcharge of 7.5%, a 12.5% management fee, travel agent commissions, credit card expense and provision for bad debts, if warranted. Saddlebrook receives 45% of Net Rental Income as operator of the Rental Pool. The remaining 55% of Net Rental Income, after adjustments for complimentary room revenues (ten percent of the normal unit rental price paid by Saddlebrook for promotional use of the unit) and certain minor repair and replacement charges, is available for distribution to the participants and maintenance escrow fund based upon each participant’s respective participation factor (computed using the value of a furnished unit and the number of days it was available to the pool). Quarterly, 45% of Net Rental Income is distributed to participants and 10%, as adjusted for complimentary room revenues and minor interior maintenance and replacement charges, is deposited in an escrow account until a maximum of 20% of the set value of the individual owner’s furniture package has been accumulated. Excess escrow balances are refunded to participants.
