GAYLORD ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gaylord Entertainment Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) and have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the financial information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim period have been included. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

As more fully discussed in Note 4, the Company’s ownership percentage in Bass Pro Shops, L.P. (“Bass Pro”) increased during the third quarter of 2004. As required under applicable accounting guidance, the Company changed its method of accounting for its investment in Bass Pro from the cost method of accounting to the equity method of accounting in the third quarter of 2004. The equity method of accounting has been applied retroactively to all periods presented, and the Company has revised the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This change in accounting principle increased net income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 by $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively. This change in accounting principle had no impact on cash flows provided by operating activities – continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

During 2003 and prior years, the Company classified certain market auction rate debt securities as cash and cash equivalents – unrestricted. During 2004, the Company determined that these securities should be classified as short-term investments due to the fact that the original maturity of these securities is greater than three months. As a result, the Company revised its statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to present the purchases and sales of these securities as investing activities. This reclassification had no impact on net income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 or cash flows provided by operating activities — continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

2. LOSS PER SHARE:

The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is calculated as follows:

(in thousands)	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2005		2004		2005		2004
Weighted average shares outstanding		40,158		39,597		40,071		39,528
Effect of dilutive stock options		—		—		—		—
Weighted average shares outstanding - assuming dilution		40,158		39,597		40,071		39,528

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, the effect of dilutive stock options was the equivalent of approximately 1,059,000 and 1,062,000 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, the effect of dilutive stock options was the equivalent of approximately 489,000 and 473,000 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively. Because the Company had a loss from continuing operations in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, these incremental shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for those periods as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

3. COMPREHENSIVE LOSS:

Comprehensive loss is as follows for the three months and six months of the respective periods:

(in thousands)	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2005			2004			2005			2004
Net loss	$	(411	)	$	(22,648	)	$	(9,268	)	$	(41,546	)
Unrealized loss on interest rate hedges		(56	)		(54	)		(19	)		(54	)

Comprehensive loss	$	(484	)	$	(22,720	)	$	(9,333	)	$	(41,514	)

4. INVESTMENTS

On May 31, 2005, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary named RHAC, LLC, entered into an agreement to purchase the 716-room Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel and related assets located in Honolulu, Hawaii (“the Waikiki Hotel”) for an aggregate purchase price of $107.0 million. Simultaneously with this purchase, G.O. IB-SIV US, a private real estate fund managed by DB Real Estate Opportunities Group (“IB-SIV”) acquired an 80.1% ownership interest in the parent company of RHAC, LLC, RHAC Holdings, LLC, in exchange for its capital contribution of $19.1 million to RHAC Holdings, LLC. As a part of this transaction, the Company entered into a joint venture arrangement with IB-SIV and retained a 19.9% ownership interest in RHAC Holdings, LLC in exchange for its $4.7 million capital contribution to RHAC Holdings, LLC. Both the Company and IB-SIV will contribute additional funds as needed for their pro-rata share of specified construction costs associated with the redevelopment of the Waikiki Hotel. RHAC, LLC financed the purchase of the Waikiki Hotel by entering into a series of loan transactions with Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. (the “Lender”) consisting of a $70.0 million loan secured by the Waikiki Hotel and a $16.25 million mezzanine loan secured by the ownership

interest of RHAC, LLC (collectively, the “Waikiki Hotel Loans”). IB-SIV is the managing member of RHAC Holdings, LLC, but certain actions initiated by IB-SIV require the approval of the Company. In addition, under the joint venture arrangement, the Company’s ResortQuest subsidiary secured a 20-year hotel management agreement from RHAC, LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the hotel management agreement, ResortQuest will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Waikiki Hotel in accordance with RHAC, LLC’s business plan. The Company will account for its investment in RHAC Holdings, LLC under the equity method of accounting in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 03-16,Accounting for Investments in Limited Liability Companies,American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 78-9,Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures, and EITF Abstracts Topic No. D-46,Accounting for Limited Partnership Investment.

From January 1, 2000 to July 8, 2004, the Company accounted for its investment in Bass Pro under the cost method of accounting. On July 8, 2004, Bass Pro redeemed the approximate 28.5% interest held in Bass Pro by private equity investor, J.W. Childs Associates. As a result, the Company’s ownership interest in Bass Pro increased to 26.6% as of the redemption date. Because the Company’s ownership interest in Bass Pro increased to a level exceeding 20%, the Company was required by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”, to begin accounting for its investment in Bass Pro under the equity method of accounting beginning in the third quarter of 2004. The equity method of accounting has been applied retroactively to all periods presented. This change in accounting principle increased net income and net income per share – fully diluted by $0.6 million and $0.02, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This change in accounting principle increased net income and net income per share – fully diluted by $1.1 million and $0.03, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

As of June 30, 2005, the recorded value of the Company’s investment in Bass Pro is $63.1 million greater than its equity in Bass Pro’s underlying net assets. This difference is being accounted for as equity method goodwill.

In the second quarter of 2005, Bass Pro restated its previously issued historical financial statements to reflect certain non-cash changes, which resulted primarily from a change in the manner in which Bass Pro accounts for its long term leases. This restatement resulted in a cumulative reduction in Bass Pro’s net income of $8.6 million through December 31, 2004, which resulted in a pro-rata cumulative reduction in the Company’s income from unconsolidated companies of $1.7 million. The Company has determined that the impact of the adjustments recorded by Bass Pro is immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in all prior periods. Therefore, the Company has reflected its $1.7 million share of the re-statement adjustments as a one-time adjustment to loss from unconsolidated companies during the second quarter of 2005.

5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

The Company has reflected the following businesses as discontinued operations, consistent with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) No. 30: WSM-FM and WWTN(FM); Word Entertainment, the Company’s contemporary Christian music business; the Acuff-Rose Music Publishing entity; GET Management, the Company’s artist management business; the Company’s ownership interest in the Oklahoma RedHawks, a minor league baseball team based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; the Company’s international cable networks; the businesses sold to affiliates of The Oklahoma Publishing Company in 2001 consisting of Pandora Films, Gaylord Films, Gaylord Sports Management, Gaylord Event Television and Gaylord Production Company; and the Company’s water taxis that were sold in 2001.

These businesses did not impact the Company’s results of operations during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. However, the carrying value of the remaining assets and liabilities of these businesses have been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144 for all periods presented.

The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are comprised of:

6. ACQUISITIONS:

Whistler Lodging Company, Ltd.

On February 1, 2005, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Whistler Lodging Company, Ltd. (“Whistler”) from O’Neill Hotels and Resorts Whistler, Ltd . for an aggregate purchase price of $0.1 million in cash plus the assumption of Whistler’s liabilities as of February 1, 2005 of $4.9 million. Whistler manages approximately 600 vacation rental units located in Whistler, British Columbia. The results of operations of Whistler have been included in the Company’s financial results beginning February 1, 2005.

The total cash purchase price of the Whistler acquisition was as follows (amounts in thousands):

Cash received from Whistler	$	(45	)
Direct merger costs incurred by Gaylord		194
Total	$	149

The Company has accounted for the Whistler acquisition under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to Whistler’s net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based upon their estimated fair value as of the date of completion of the Whistler acquisition. The Company determined these fair values with the assistance of a third party valuation expert. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that the goodwill may be impaired. The final allocation of the purchase price is subject to adjustments for a period not to exceed one year from the consummation date (the allocation period) in accordance with SFAS No. 141 “Business Combinations” and EITF Issue 95-3 “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination.” The allocation period is intended to differentiate between amounts that are determined as a result of the identification and valuation process required by SFAS No. 141 for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed and amounts that are determined because information that was not previously obtainable becomes obtainable. The purchase price allocation as of February 1, 2005 was as follows (in thousands):

Tangible assets acquired	$	1,771
Amortizable intangible assets		212
Goodwill		3,024
Total assets acquired		5,007
Liabilities assumed		(4,858	)
Net assets acquired	$	149

Tangible assets acquired totaled $1.8 million, which included $0.7 million of restricted cash, $0.6 million of net trade receivables and $0.2 million of property and equipment.

Approximately $0.2 million was allocated to amortizable intangible assets consisting of existing property management contracts. Property management contracts represent existing contracts with property owners, homeowner associations and other direct ancillary service contracts. Property management contracts are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful life of the contracts, which is estimated to be seven years from acquisition.

11

As of June 30, 2005 and February 1, 2005, goodwill related to the Whistler acquisition totaled $3.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. During the five months ended June 30, 2005, the Company made adjustments to accrued liabilities associated with the Whistler acquisition as a result of obtaining additional information. These adjustments resulted in a net increase in goodwill of $0.4 million.

     East West Resorts

On January 1, 2005, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding membership interests of East West Resorts at Summit County, LLC, Aspen Lodging Company, LLC, Great Beach Vacations, LLC, East West Realty Aspen, LLC, and Sand Dollar Management Investors, LLC (collectively, “East West Resorts”) from East West Resorts, LLC for an aggregate purchase price of $20.7 million in cash plus the assumption of East West Resort’s liabilities as of January 1, 2005 of $7.8 million. East West Resorts manages approximately 2,000 vacation rental units located in Colorado ski destinations and South Carolina beach destinations. The results of operations of East West Resorts have been included in the Company’s financial results beginning January 1, 2005.

The total cash purchase price of the East West Resorts acquisition was as follows (amounts in thousands):

Cash paid to East West Resorts, LLC	$	20,650
Direct merger costs incurred by Gaylord		97
Total	$	20,747

The Company has accounted for the East West Resorts acquisition under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to East West Resorts’ net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based upon their estimated fair value as of the date of completion of the acquisition. The Company determined these fair values with the assistance of a third party valuation expert. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that the goodwill may be impaired. The final allocation of the purchase price is subject to adjustments for a period not to exceed one year from the consummation date (the allocation period). The allocation period is intended to differentiate between amounts that are determined as a result of the identification and valuation process required by SFAS No. 141 for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed and amounts that are determined because information that was not previously obtainable becomes obtainable. The purchase price allocation as of January 1, 2005 was as follows (in thousands):

management contracts are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful life of the contracts, which is estimated to be seven years from acquisition. Non-competition agreements represent contracts with certain former owners and managers of East West Resorts, LLC that prohibit them from competing with the acquired companies for a period of five years. Non-competition agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful life of the agreements, which is estimated to be five years from acquisition.

As of June 30, 2005 and January 1, 2005, goodwill related to the East West Resorts acquisition totaled $11.6 million and $11.9 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company made adjustments to the final purchase price of ($0.6 million) and accrued liabilities associated with the East West Resorts acquisition of $0.3 million as a result of obtaining additional information.

     ResortQuest International, Inc.

On November 20, 2003, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 4, 2003, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of ResortQuest International, Inc. in a tax-free, stock-for-stock merger. Under the terms of the agreement, ResortQuest stockholders received 0.275 shares of Gaylord common stock for each outstanding share of ResortQuest common stock, and the ResortQuest option holders received 0.275 options to purchase Gaylord common stock for each outstanding option to purchase one share of ResortQuest common stock. Based on the number of shares of ResortQuest common stock outstanding as of November 20, 2003 (19,339,502) and the exchange ratio (0.275 Gaylord common share for each ResortQuest common share), the Company issued 5,318,363 shares of Gaylord common stock. In addition, based on the total number of ResortQuest options outstanding at November 20, 2003, the Company exchanged ResortQuest options for options to purchase 573,863 shares of Gaylord common stock. Based on the average market price of Gaylord common stock ($19.81, which was based on an average of the closing prices for two days before, the day of, and two days after the date of the definitive agreement, August 4, 2003), together with the direct merger costs, this resulted in an aggregate purchase price of approximately $114.7 million plus the assumption of ResortQuest’s outstanding indebtedness as of November 20, 2003, which totaled $85.1 million.

The total purchase price of the ResortQuest acquisition was as follows (amounts in thousands):

Fair value of Gaylord common stock issued	$	105,329
Fair value of Gaylord stock options issued		5,596
Direct merger costs incurred by Gaylord		3,773
Total	$	114,698

The Company has accounted for the ResortQuest acquisition under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to ResortQuest’s net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based upon their fair value as of the date of completion of the ResortQuest acquisition. The Company determined these fair values with the assistance of a third party valuation expert. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that the goodwill may be impaired. The final allocation of the purchase price was subject to adjustments for a period not to exceed one year from the consummation date, the allocation period. The allocation of the purchase price was adjusted during this period and finalized on November 20, 2004, which resulted in certain adjustments to goodwill, accrued liabilities, deferred taxes, and additional paid-in capital. The purchase price allocation as of November 20, 2003 was as follows (in thousands):

Cash acquired	$	4,228
Tangible assets acquired		47,511
Amortizable intangible assets		29,718

Goodwill		162,727
Total assets acquired		283,019
Liabilities assumed		(84,608	)
Debt assumed		(85,100	)
Deferred stock-based compensation		1,387
Net assets acquired	$	114,698

Tangible assets acquired totaled $47.5 million, which included $9.8 million of restricted cash, $26.1 million of property and equipment and $7.0 million of net trade receivables. Included in the tangible assets acquired is ResortQuest’s vacation rental management software, First Resort Software (“FRS”), which was being amortized over a remaining estimated useful life of five years. On December 15, 2004, the Company sold certain assets related to FRS, including all copyrights, trademarks, tradenames, and maintenance and support agreements associated with the vacation rental management software, to Instant Software, Inc. for approximately $1.3 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. The Company also received a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to continue using the vacation rental management software for its internal business purposes. The value assigned to this license is being amortized over a remaining estimated useful life of two years. The Company recognized a loss of $1.8 million on the sale of the FRS assets, which was reported in other gains and losses in the consolidated statement of operations.

Approximately $29.7 million was allocated to amortizable intangible assets consisting primarily of existing property management contracts and ResortQuest’s customer database. Property management contracts represent existing contracts with property owners, homeowner associations and other direct ancillary service contracts. Property management contracts are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful life of the contracts. Contracts originating in Hawaii are estimated to have a remaining useful life of ten years from acquisition, while contracts in the continental United States and Canada have a remaining estimated useful life of seven years from acquisition. The Company is amortizing the customer database over a two-year period.

Of the total purchase price, approximately $38.8 million was allocated to trade names consisting primarily of the “ResortQuest” trade name which is deemed to have an indefinite remaining useful life and therefore will not be amortized.

As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, goodwill related to the ResortQuest acquisition totaled $158.9 million and $159.2 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company made adjustments to deferred taxes associated with the ResortQuest acquisition as a result of obtaining additional information. These adjustments resulted in a net decrease in goodwill of $0.3 million.

As of November 20, 2003, the Company recorded approximately $4.0 million of reserves and adjustments related to the Company’s plans to consolidate certain support functions, to adjust for employee benefits and to account for outstanding legal claims filed against ResortQuest as an adjustment to the purchase price allocation. The following table summarizes the activity related to these reserves for the six months ended June 30, 2005 (amounts in thousands):

7. DEBT:

Senior Loan and Mezzanine Loan

In 2001, the Company, through wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into two loan agreements, a $275.0 million senior loan (the “Senior Loan”) and a $100.0 million mezzanine loan (the “Mezzanine Loan”) (collectively, the “Nashville Hotel Loans”) with affiliates of Merrill Lynch & Company acting as principal. The Senior and Mezzanine Loan borrower and its member were subsidiaries formed for the purposes of owning and operating the Gaylord Opryland and entering into the loan transaction and were special-purpose entities whose activities were strictly limited. The Company fully consolidates these entities in its consolidated financial statements. The Senior Loan was secured by a first mortgage lien on the assets of Gaylord Opryland. In March 2004, the Company exercised the first of two one-year extension options to extend the maturity of the Senior Loan to March 2005. Amounts outstanding under the Senior Loan bore interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.20%. The Mezzanine Loan was secured by the equity interest in the wholly-owned subsidiary that owns Gaylord Opryland, was due in April 2004 and bore interest at one-month LIBOR plus 6.0%.

During November 2003, the Company used the proceeds of the 8% Senior Notes, as discussed below, to repay in full $66.0 million outstanding under the Mezzanine Loan portion of the Nashville Hotel Loans. During November 2004, the Company used the proceeds of the 6.75% Senior Notes, as discussed below, to repay in full $192.5 million outstanding under the Senior Loan portion of the Nashville Hotel Loans.

8% Senior Notes

On November 12, 2003, the Company completed its offering of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2013 in an institutional private placement. In January 2004, the Company filed an exchange offer registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to the 8% Senior Notes and exchanged the existing senior notes for publicly registered senior notes with the same terms after the registration statement was declared effective in April 2004. The interest rate on these notes is 8%, although the Company has entered into fixed to variable interest rate swaps with respect to $125 million principal amount of the 8% Senior Notes, which swaps result in an effective interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.95% with respect to that portion of the 8% Senior Notes. The 8% Senior Notes, which mature on November 15, 2013, bear interest semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, starting on May 15, 2004. The 8% Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after November 15, 2008 at a designated redemption amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the 8% Senior Notes before November 15, 2006 with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings. The 8% Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with the Company’s other unsecured unsubordinated debt, but are effectively subordinated to all the Company’s secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such debt. The 8% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by generally all of the Company’s active domestic subsidiaries including, following repayment of the Senior Loan arrangements discussed above, the subsidiaries owning the assets of Gaylord Opryland. In connection with the offering and subsequent registration of the 8% Senior Notes, the Company paid approximately $10.1 million in deferred financing costs. The net proceeds from the offering of the 8% Senior Notes, together with $22.5 million of the Company’s cash on hand, were used as follows:

15

• $275.5 million was used to repay the $150 million senior term loan portion and the $50 million subordinated term loan portion of the 2003 Florida/Texas senior secured credit facility, as well as the remaining $66 million of the Company’s $100 million Mezzanine Loan and to pay certain fees and expenses related to the ResortQuest acquisition; and

• $79.2 million was placed in escrow pending consummation of the ResortQuest acquisition. As of November 20, 2003, the $79.2 million together with $8.2 million of the available cash, was used to repay (i) ResortQuest’s senior notes and its credit facility, the principal amount of which aggregated $85.1 million at closing, and (ii) a related prepayment penalty.

The 8% Senior Notes indenture contains certain covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, capital expenditures, mergers and consolidations, liens and encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The 8% Senior Notes are cross-defaulted to the Company’s other indebtedness.

6.75% Senior Notes

On November 30, 2004, the Company completed its offering of $225 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2014 in an institutional private placement. The interest rate of these notes is 6.75%. The 6.75% Senior Notes, which mature on November 15, 2014, bear interest semi-annually in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, starting on May 15, 2005. The 6.75% Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after November 15, 2009 at a designated redemption amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the 6.75% Senior Notes before November 15, 2007 with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings. The 6.75% Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with the Company’s other unsecured unsubordinated debt, but are effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such debt. The 6.75% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by generally all of the Company’s active domestic subsidiaries including, following repayment of the Senior Loan arrangements discussed above, the subsidiaries owning the assets of Gaylord Opryland. In connection with the offering of the 6.75% Senior Notes, the Company paid approximately $4.2 million in deferred financing costs. The net proceeds from the offering of the 6.75% Senior Notes, together with cash on hand, were used to repay the Senior Loan and to provide capital for growth of the Company’s other businesses and other general corporate purposes. In addition, the 6.75% Senior Notes indenture contains certain covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, capital expenditures, mergers and consolidations, liens and encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The 6.75% Senior Notes are cross-defaulted to the Company’s other indebtedness.

In April 2005, the Company filed an exchange offer registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC with respect to the 6.75% Senior Notes and exchanged the existing senior notes for publicly registered senior notes with the same terms after the registration statement was declared effective in May 2005.

New $600.0 Million Credit Facility

On March 10, 2005, the Company entered into a new $600.0 million credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. acting as the administrative agent. The Company’s new credit facility, which replaced the 2003 $100.0 million revolving credit facility, consists of the following components: (a) a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which includes a $50.0 million letter of credit sublimit, and (b) a $300.0 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility, which may be drawn on in one or more advances during its term. The credit facility also includes an accordion feature that will allow the Company, on a one-time basis, to increase the credit facilities by a total of up to $300.0 million, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending

16

institutions. The revolving loan, letters of credit and term loan mature on March 9, 2010. At the Company’s election, the revolving loans and the term loans may have an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2% or the lending banks’ base rate plus 1%, subject to adjustments based on the Company’s financial performance. Interest on the Company’s borrowings is payable quarterly, in arrears, for base rate loans and at the end of each interest rate period for LIBOR rate-based loans. Principal is payable in full at maturity. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per year of the average unused portion of the credit facility.

The purpose of the new credit facility is for working capital and capital expenditures and the financing of the costs and expenses related to the construction of the Gaylord National hotel. Construction of the Gaylord National hotel is required to be substantially completed by June 30, 2008 (subject to customary force majeure provisions).

The new credit facility is (i) secured by a first mortgage and lien on the real property and related personal and intellectual property of the Company’s Gaylord Opryland hotel, Gaylord Texan hotel, Gaylord Palms hotel and Gaylord National hotel (to be constructed) and pledges of equity interests in the entities that own such properties and (ii) guaranteed by each of the four wholly owned subsidiaries that own the four hotels as well as ResortQuest International, Inc. Advances are subject to a 60% borrowing base, based on the appraisal values of the hotel properties (reducing to 50% in the event a hotel property is sold). The Company’s 2003 revolving credit facility has been paid in full and the related mortgages and liens have been released.

In addition, the $600.0 million credit facility contains certain covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, liens and encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The material financial covenants, ratios or tests contained in the new credit facility are as follows:

• the Company must maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of not greater than (i) 7.00 to 1.00 for calendar quarters ending during calendar year 2007, and (ii) 6.25 to 1.00 for all other calendar quarters ending during the term of the credit facility, which levels are subject to increase to 7.25 to 1.00 and 7.00 to 1.00, respectively, for three (3) consecutive quarters at the Company’s option if the Company makes a leverage ratio election.

• the Company must maintain a consolidated tangible net worth of not less than the sum of $550.0 million, increased on a cumulative basis as of the end of each calendar quarter, commencing with the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2005, by an amount equal to (i) 75% of consolidated net income (to the extent positive) for the calendar quarter then ended, plus (ii) 75% of the proceeds received by the Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with any equity issuance.

• the Company must maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than (i) 1.50 to 1.00 for any reporting calendar quarter during which the leverage ratio election is effective; and (ii) 2.00 to 1.00 for all other calendar quarters during the term hereof.

• the Company must maintain an implied debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of adjusted net operating income to monthly principal and interest that would be required if the outstanding balance were amortized over 25 years at an interest rate equal to the then current seven year Treasury Note plus 0.25%) of not less than 1.60 to 1.00.

• the Company’s investments in entities which are not wholly-owned subsidiaries may not exceed an amount equal to ten percent (10.0%) of the Company’s consolidated total assets.

As of June 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.As of June 30, 2005, no borrowings were outstanding under the $600.0 million credit facility, but the lending banks had issued $17.7 million of letters of

17

credit under the credit facility for the Company. The credit facility is cross-defaulted to the Company’s other indebtedness.

8. SECURED FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACT:

During May 2000, the Company entered into a seven-year secured forward exchange contract (“SFEC”) with an affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston with respect to 10,937,900 shares of Viacom, Inc. Class B common stock (“Viacom Stock”). The seven-year SFEC has a notional amount of $613.1 million and required contract payments based upon a stated 5% rate. The SFEC protects the Company against decreases in the fair market value of the Viacom Stock while providing for participation in increases in the fair market value, as discussed below. The Company realized cash proceeds from the SFEC of $506.5 million, net of discounted prepaid contract payments and prepaid interest related to the first 3.25 years of the contract and transaction costs totaling $106.6 million. In October 2000, the Company prepaid the remaining 3.75 years of contract interest payments required by the SFEC of $83.2 million. As a result of the prepayment, the Company is not required to make any further contract interest payments during the seven-year term of the SFEC. Additionally, as a result of the prepayment, the Company was released from certain covenants of the SFEC, which related to sales of assets, additional indebtedness and liens. The unamortized balances of the prepaid contract interest are classified as current assets of $26.9 million as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and long-term assets of $24.0 million and $37.4 million as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company is recognizing the prepaid contract payments and deferred financing charges associated with the SFEC as interest expense over the seven-year contract period using the effective interest method, which resulted in non-cash interest expense of $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and $13.3 million and $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company utilized $394.1 million of the net proceeds from the SFEC to repay all outstanding indebtedness under its 1997 revolving credit facility, and the 1997 revolving credit facility was terminated.

The Company’s obligation under the SFEC is collateralized by a security interest in the Company’s Viacom Stock. At the end of the seven-year contract term, the Company may, at its option, elect to pay in cash rather than by delivery of all or a portion of the Viacom Stock. The SFEC protects the Company against decreases in the fair market value of the Viacom Stock below $56.05 per share by way of a put option; the SFEC also provides for participation in the increases in the fair market value of the Viacom Stock in that the Company receives 100% of the appreciation between $56.05 and $64.45 per share and, by way of a call option, 25.93% of the appreciation above $64.45 per share, as of June 30, 2005. The call option strike price decreased from $67.97 as of December 31, 2004 to $64.45 as of June 30, 2005 due to the Company receiving dividend distributions from Viacom. Future dividend distributions received from Viacom may result in an adjusted call strike price.

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133, as amended, certain components of the secured forward exchange contract are considered derivatives, as discussed in Note 9.

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to reduce certain of its interest rate risks and to manage risk exposure to changes in the value of its Viacom Stock.

Upon adoption of SFAS No. 133, the Company valued the SFEC based on pricing provided by a financial institution and reviewed by the Company. The financial institution’s market prices are prepared for each quarter close period on a mid-market basis by reference to proprietary models and do not reflect any bid/offer spread. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company recorded net pretax gains in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations of $34.3 million and $40.0 million, respectively, related to the increase in the fair value of the derivatives associated with the SFEC. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded net pretax gains in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of

18

operations of $12.9 million and $58.0 million, respectively, related to the increase in the fair value of the derivatives associated with the SFEC.

Upon issuance of the 8% Senior Notes, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $125.0 million to convert the fixed rate on $125.0 million of the 8% Senior Notes to a variable rate in order to access the lower borrowing costs that were available on floating-rate debt. Under these swap agreements, which mature on November 15, 2013, the Company receives a fixed rate of 8% and pays a variable rate, in arrears, equal to six-month LIBOR plus 2.95%. The terms of the swap agreement mirror the terms of the 8% Senior Notes, including semi-annual settlements on the 15^th of May and November each year. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, as amended, changes in the fair value of this interest rate swap agreement must be offset against the corresponding change in fair value of the 8% Senior Notes through earnings. The Company has determined that there will not be an ineffective portion of this hedge and therefore, no impact on earnings. As of June 30, 2005, the Company determined that, based upon dealer quotes, the fair value of these interest rate swap agreements was $1.2 million. The Company has recorded a derivative asset and an offsetting increase in the balance of the 8% Senior Notes accordingly. As of December 31, 2004, the Company determined that, based upon dealer quotes, the fair value of these interest rate swap agreements was $0.5 million. The Company recorded a derivative asset and an offsetting increase in the balance of the 8% Senior Notes accordingly.

10. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES:

The following table summarizes the activities of the Company’s restructuring charges for the six months ended June 30, 2005:

(in thousands)	Balance at		Restructuring charges				Balance at
	December 31, 2004		and adjustments		Payments		June 30, 2005

2000 restructuring charges		14		—		9		5
	$	121	$	—	$	116	$	5

2001 Restructuring Charge

During 2001, the Company recognized net pretax restructuring charges from continuing operations of $5.8 million related to streamlining operations and reducing layers of management. These restructuring charges were recorded in accordance with EITF Issue No. 94-3. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company entered into two subleases to lease certain office space the Company previously had recorded in the 2001 restructuring charges. As a result, the Company reversed $0.9 million of the 2001 restructuring charges during 2002 related to continuing operations based upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. Also during the second quarter of 2002, the Company evaluated the 2001 restructuring accrual and determined certain severance benefits and outplacement agreements had expired and adjusted the previously recorded amounts by $0.2 million. During the second quarter of 2004, the Company evaluated the 2001 restructuring accrual and determined that the remaining sublease payments it was scheduled to receive were less than originally estimated. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company again evaluated the 2001 restructuring accrual due to a continued decline in the creditworthiness of a sublessee and determined that the remaining sublease payments that it would collect were less than estimated during the second quarter of 2004. As a result of these evaluations, the Company increased the 2001 restructuring charge by $0.3 million during 2004 related to continuing operations. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had made all payments accrued under the 2001 restructuring accrual.

19

2000 Restructuring Charge

During 2000, the Company completed an assessment of its strategic alternatives related to its operations and capital requirements and developed a strategic plan designed to refocus the Company’s operations, reduce its operating losses, and reduce its negative cash flows (the “2000 Strategic Assessment”). As part of the Company’s 2000 Strategic Assessment, the Company recognized pretax restructuring charges of $13.1 million related to continuing operations during 2000, in accordance with EITF Issue No. 94-3. Additional restructuring charges of $3.2 million during 2000 were included in discontinued operations. During 2001, the Company negotiated reductions in certain contract termination costs, which allowed the reversal of $3.7 million of the restructuring charges originally recorded during 2000. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company entered into a sublease that reduced the liability the Company was originally required to pay, and the Company reversed $0.1 million of the 2000 restructuring charge related to the reduction in required payments. During the second quarter of 2004, the Company evaluated the 2000 restructuring accrual and determined that the remaining severance payments it was scheduled to make were less than originally estimated. As a result, the Company reversed $0.1 million of the 2000 restructuring charge during 2004 related to continuing operations. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has recorded cash payments of $9.4 million against the 2000 restructuring accrual related to continuing operations. The remaining balance of the 2000 restructuring accrual at June 30, 2005 of $5,000, from continuing operations, is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, which the Company expects to be paid by the end of 2005.

11. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW DISCLOSURES:

Cash paid for interest related to continuing operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was comprised of:

(in thousands)	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Cash interest paid, net of capitalized interest	$	19,631		$	13,803		$	27,808		$	10,293

Income taxes received (paid) were $0.4 million and $(0.7) million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Certain transactions have been reflected as non-cash activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as further discussed below.

In March 2005, the Company donated 65,100 shares of Viacom stock with a market value of $2.3 million to a charitable foundation established by the Company, which was recorded as selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. This donation is reflected as an increase in net loss and a corresponding decrease in other assets and liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

In connection with the settlement of litigation with the Nashville Hockey Club Limited Partnership (“NHC”) on February 22, 2005, as further discussed in Note 17, the Company issued to NHC a 5-year, $5 million promissory note. Because the Company continued to accrue expense under the naming rights agreement throughout the course

20

of this litigation, the issuance of this promissory note resulted in an increase in long term debt and capital lease obligations and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and statement of cash flows.

12. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES:

The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill by business segment for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company recorded goodwill of $3.0 million and $11.9 million related to the acquisitions of Whistler and East West Resorts, respectively, as previously discussed in Note 6. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company made adjustments to accrued liabilities associated with the Whistler acquisition, the final purchase price and accrued liabilities associated with the East West Resorts acquisition, and deferred taxes associated with the ResortQuest acquisition as a result of obtaining additional information. These adjustments resulted in a net decrease in goodwill of $0.3 million.

The carrying amount of indefinite-lived intangible assets not subject to amortization was $40.3 million and $40.6 million at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The gross carrying amount of amortized intangible assets in continuing operations was $38.3 million and $30.5 million at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The significant increase in amortized intangible assets during six months ended June 30, 2005 is due to the acquisitions of Whistler and East West Resorts, as discussed in Note 6. The related accumulated amortization of amortized intangible assets in continuing operations was $7.5 million and $4.5 million at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The amortization expense related to intangible assets from continuing operations during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 was $1.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The amortization expense related to intangible assets from continuing operations during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 was $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The estimated amounts of amortization expense for the next five years are as follows (in thousands):

13. STOCK PLANS:

SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to continue to account for employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method as prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations, under which no

21

compensation cost related to employee stock options has been recognized. In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of SFAS No. 123”. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123 to provide two additional methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. This statement also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require certain disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company adopted the amended disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 on December 31, 2002, and the information contained in this report reflects the disclosure requirements of the new pronouncement. The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25.

If compensation cost for these plans had been determined consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss and loss per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 would have been increased to the following pro forma amounts:

(in thousands, except per share data)	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

	2005			2004			2005			2004

At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, there were 3,919,300 and 3,586,551 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock reserved for future issuance pursuant to the exercise of outstanding stock options under its stock option and incentive plans. Under the terms of its plans, stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value at the date of grant and generally expire ten years after the date of grant. Generally, stock options granted to non-employee directors are exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant, while options granted to employees are exercisable ratably over a period of four years beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The Company accounts for this plan under APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations, under which no compensation expense for employee and non-employee director stock options has been recognized.

The plan also provides for the award of restricted stock and restricted stock units. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, awards of 75,392 and 93,805 shares, respectively, of restricted common stock were outstanding. The market value at the date of grant of these restricted shares was recorded as unearned compensation as a component

22

of stockholders’ equity. Unearned compensation is amortized and expensed over the vesting period of the restricted stock.

The Company has an employee stock purchase plan whereby substantially all employees are eligible to participate in the purchase of designated shares of the Company’s common stock. Prior to January 1, 2005, participants in the plan purchased these shares at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the closing price at the beginning or end of each quarterly stock purchase period. Effective January 1, 2005, the plan was amended such that participants in the plan now purchase these shares at a price equal to 95% of the of the closing price at the end of each quarterly stock purchase period. The Company issued 2,482 and 2,633 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $44.17 and $26.50 pursuant to this plan during the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Included in compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 is $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, related to the grant of 596,000 units and 604,000 units, respectively, under the Company’s Performance Accelerated Restricted Stock Unit Program. Included in compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 is $1.3 million and $1.3 million related to the grant of these units.

14. RETIREMENT AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSION PLANS:

The Company sponsors unfunded defined benefit postretirement health care and life insurance plans for certain employees. Effective December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Prescription Drug Act”) was enacted into law. The Prescription Drug Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare Part D as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D.

During May 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003”. This standard requires sponsors of defined benefit postretirement health care plans to make a reasonable determination whether (1) the prescription drug benefits under its plan are actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D and thus qualify for the subsidy under the Prescription Drug Act and (2) the expected subsidy will offset or reduce the employer’s share of the cost of the underlying postretirement prescription drug coverage on which the subsidy is based. Sponsors whose plans meet both of these criteria were required to re-measure the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and net periodic postretirement benefit expense of their plans to reflect the effects of the Prescription Drug Act in the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after September 15, 2004.

During the second quarter of 2004, the Company determined that the prescription drug benefits provided under its postretirement health care plan were actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D and thus would qualify for the subsidy under the Prescription Drug Act and the expected subsidy would offset its share of the cost of the underlying drug coverage. The Company elected to early-adopt the provisions of FASB Staff Position No. 106-2 during the second quarter of 2004 and re-measured its accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and net periodic postretirement benefit expense accordingly. The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was reduced by $2.9 million during the second quarter of 2004 as a result of the subsidy related to benefits attributed to past service. This reduction in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was recorded as a deferred actuarial gain and will be amortized over future periods in the same manner as other deferred actuarial gains. The effect of the subsidy on the measurement of net periodic postretirement benefit expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2004 was as follows (in thousands):

23

Service cost	$	(10	)
Interest cost		(45	)
Expected return on plan assets		—
Amortization of net actuarial gain		(109	)
Amortization of prior service cost		—

Net periodic pension expense reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations included the following components for the three and six months ended June 30 (in thousands):

	Three months ended						Six months ended

15. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate as applied to pretax income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was 169% and 42%, respectively. The Company’s higher effective tax rate was due primarily to a change in the rate used to value certain prior year stated deferred tax assets.

The Company’s effective tax rate as applied to pretax income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was 31% and 40%, respectively. The Company’s lower effective tax rate was due primarily to a change in the rate used to value certain prior year stated deferred tax assets.

16. NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R),Share Based Payment, which replaces SFAS No. 123 and supercedes APB 25. SFAS No. 123(R) requires the measurement of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, using a fair-value based method and the recording of such expense over the related vesting period. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the recognition of compensation expense for the fair value of any unvested stock option awards outstanding at the date of adoption. The proforma disclosure previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148 is no longer an alternative under SFAS No. 123(R). The effective date for adopting SFAS 123(R) is the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, which will be January 1, 2006 for the Company. Early adoption is permitted but not required. The Company plans

24

to adopt the modified prospective method permitted under SFAS No. 123(R). Under this method, companies are required to record compensation expense for new and modified awards over the related vesting period of such awards prospectively and record compensation expense prospectively for the unvested portion, at the date of adoption, of previously issued and outstanding awards over the remaining vesting period of such awards. No change to prior periods is permitted under the modified prospective method. Based on the unvested stock option awards outstanding as of June 30, 2005 that are expected to remain unvested as of January 1, 2006, the Company expects to recognize additional pre-tax compensation expense during 2006 of approximately $5.0 million beginning in the first quarter of 2006 as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). Future levels of compensation expense recognized related to stock option awards (including the aforementioned) may be impacted by new awards and/or modifications, repurchases and cancellations of existing awards before and after the adoption of this standard.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153,Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is to be applied prospectively for non-monetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 153 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.SFAS No. 154 is a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20,Accounting Changes,and SFAS No. 3,Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable to do so. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 carries forward many provisions of APB Opinion 20 without change, including the provisions related to the reporting of a change in accounting estimate, a change in the reporting entity, and the correction of an error. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made occurring in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. SFAS No. 154 does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a transition phase as of the effective date of the Statement. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

On February 22, 2005, the Company concluded the settlement of litigation with NHC, which owns the Nashville Predators NHL hockey team, over (i) NHC’s obligation to redeem the Company’s ownership interest, and (ii) the Company’s obligations under the Nashville Arena Naming Rights Agreement dated November 24, 1999. Under the Naming Rights Agreement, which had a 20-year term through 2018, the Company was required to make annual payments to NHC, beginning at $2,050,000 in 1999 and with a 5% escalation each year thereafter, and to purchase a minimum number of tickets to Predators games each year. At the closing of the settlement, NHC redeemed all of the Company’s outstanding limited partnership units in the Predators pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated February 22, 2005 effectively terminating the Company’s ownership interest in the Predators. In addition, the Naming Rights Agreement was cancelled pursuant to the Acknowledgment of Termination of Naming Rights Agreement. As a part of the settlement, the Company made a one-time cash payment to NHC of $4 million and issued to NHC a 5-year, $5 million promissory note bearing interest at 6% per annum. The note is payable at $1 million per year for 5 years, with the first payment due on the first anniversary of the resumption of NHL Hockey in

25

Nashville, Tennessee, which is currently expected to be on October 5, 2005. The Company’s obligation to pay the outstanding amount under the note shall terminate immediately if, at any time before the note is paid in full, the Predators cease to be an NHL team playing their home games in Nashville, Tennessee. In addition, if the Predators cease to be an NHL team playing its home games in Nashville prior to the first payment under the note, then in addition to the note being cancelled, the Predators will pay the Company $4 million. If the Predators cease to be an NHL team playing its home games in Nashville after the first payment but prior to the second payment under the note, then in addition to the note being cancelled, the Predators will pay the Company $2 million. In addition, pursuant to a Consent Agreement among the Company, the National Hockey League and owners of NHC, the Company’s guaranty described below has been limited as described below. The Company continued to recognize the expense under the Naming Rights Agreement throughout the course of this litigation. As a result, the net effect of the settlement resulted in the Company reversing $2.4 million of expense previously accrued under the Naming Rights Agreement during the first quarter of 2005.

In connection with the Company’s execution of the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Nashville Hockey Club, L.P. on June 25, 1997, the Company, its subsidiary CCK, Inc., Craig Leipold, Helen Johnson-Leipold (Mr. Leipold’s wife) and Samuel C. Johnson (Mr. Leipold’s father-in-law) entered into a guaranty agreement executed in favor of the National Hockey League (NHL). This agreement provides for a continuing guarantee of the following obligations for as long as any of these obligations remain outstanding: (i) all obligations under the expansion agreement between the Nashville Hockey Club, L.P. and the NHL; and (ii) all operating expenses of the Nashville Hockey Club, L.P. The maximum potential amount which the Company and CCK, collectively, could be liable under the guaranty agreement is $15.0 million, although the Company and CCK would have recourse against the other guarantors if required to make payments under the guarantee. In connection with the legal settlement with the Nashville Predators consummated on February 22, 2005, as described above, this guaranty has been limited so that the Company is not responsible for any debt, obligation or liability of Nashville Hockey Club, L.P. that arises from any act, omission or circumstance occurring after the date of the legal settlement. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had not recorded any liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet associated with this guarantee.

In connection with RHAC, LLC’s execution of the Waikiki Hotel Loans as described in Note 4, IB-SIV, the parent company of the Company’s joint venture partner, entered into two separate Guaranties of Recourse Obligations with the Lender whereby it guaranteed its pro-rata portion of RHAC, LLC’s obligations under the Waikiki Hotel Loans for as long as those loans remain outstanding (i) in the event of certain types of fraud, breaches of environmental representations or warranties, or breaches of certain “special purpose entity” covenants by RHAC, LLC, on the one hand, or (ii) in the event of bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings of RHAC, LLC, on the other hand. As a part of the joint venture arrangement and simultaneously with the closing of the purchase of the Waikiki Hotel, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with IB-SIV, whereby the Company agreed that, in the event that IB-SIV is required to make any payments pursuant to the terms of these guarantees, it will contribute to IB-SIV an amount equal to 19.9% of any such guaranty payments. The Company estimates that the maximum potential amount that the Company could be liable under this contribution agreement is $17.2 million, which represents 19.9% of the $86.3 million of total debt that RHAC, LLC owes to Lender. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had not recorded any liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet associated with this guarantee.

Also in connection with RHAC, LLC’s execution of the Waikiki Hotel Loans described in Note 4, IB-SIV and the Company were required to execute an irrevocable letter of credit in favor of the Lender with a total notional amount of $7.9 million, in order to secure RHAC, LLC’s obligation to perform certain capital upgrades on the Waikiki Hotel and to provide additional security for payment of the Waikiki Hotel Loans. This letter of credit is required to remain outstanding until all required capital upgrades have been completed. However, the notional amount of this letter of credit will be reduced by the amount of funds actually expended by RHAC, LLC on the capital upgrades. Under the terms of the Waikiki Hotel Loans, the Lender may draw up to the notional amount of this letter of credit and apply the proceeds to the Waikiki Hotel Loans upon the occurrence of an event of default, as defined. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement described above, the Company agreed to initially execute a letter of credit for the full $7.9 million notional amount required by the Lender, and IB-SIV agreed that, in the event that any amounts are drawn by Lender under the letter of credit, it will contribute an amount equal to 80.1% of any such letter of credit draw to the Company. IB-SIV further agreed to execute a separate letter of credit subsequent to closing with a notional amount of $6.3 million to allow the Company to reduce the notional amount of its letter of credit to $1.6 million. As of June 30, 2005, IB-SIV had not executed this replacement letter of credit and the Company’s $7.9 million letter of credit was still outstanding. The maximum potential amount which the Company could be liable under this

26

obligation is $7.9 million, as of June 30, 2005, although, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Company would have recourse against IB-SIV to recover 80.1% of any payments made pursuant to this obligation. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had not recorded any liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet associated with this obligation.

Certain of the Company’s ResortQuest subsidiary’s property management agreements in Hawaii contain provisions for guaranteed levels of returns to the owners. These agreements, which have remaining terms of up to approximately 7 years, also contain force majeure clauses to protect the Company from forces or occurrences beyond the control of management.

On February 24, 2005, the Company acquired approximately 42 acres of land and related land improvements in Prince George’s County, Maryland (Washington D.C. area) for approximately $29 million on which the Company is developing a hotel to be known as the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. Approximately $17 million of this was paid in the first quarter of 2005, with the remainder payable upon completion of various phases of the project. The Company currently expects to open the hotel in 2008. In connection with this project, Prince George’s County, Maryland approved, in July 2004, two bond issues related to the development. The first bond issuance, in the amount of $65 million, will support the cost of infrastructure being constructed by the project developer, such as roads, water and sewer lines. The second bond issuance, in the amount of $95 million, will be issued directly to the Company upon completion of the project. The Company will initially hold the bonds and receive the debt service thereon which is payable from tax increment, hotel tax and special hotel rental taxes generated from our development. On May 9, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with a general contractor for the provision of certain initial construction services at the site. The Company expects to enter into a construction contract for the entire hotel project when the Company has determined the guaranteed maximum price for the project. The Company is also considering other potential hotel sites throughout the country. The timing and extent of any of these development projects is uncertain.

The Company, in the ordinary course of business, is involved in certain legal actions and claims on a variety of other matters. It is the opinion of management that such legal actions will not have a material effect on the results of operations, financial condition or liquidity of the Company.

19. INFORMATION CONCERNING GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES:

Prior to the issuance of the 6.75% Senior Notes and repayment of the Senior Loan on November 30, 2004, as discussed in Note 7, not all of the Company’s subsidiaries guaranteed the 8% Senior Notes. All of the Company’s subsidiaries that were borrowers under, or had guaranteed, the Company’s 2003 revolving credit facility or previously, the Company’s 2003 Florida/Texas senior secured credit facility, were guarantors of the 8% Senior Notes (the “Former Guarantors”). Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, including those that incurred the Company’s Nashville Hotel Loan or owned or managed the Nashville loan borrower (the “Former Non-Guarantors”), did not guarantee the 8% Senior Notes. However, subsequent to the issuance of the 6.75% Senior Notes and repayment of the Senior Loan on November 30, 2004, the 8% Senior Notes and 6.75% Senior Notes became guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by generally all of the Company’s active domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). As a result, the Company has classified the balance sheet, results of operations, and cash flows of the subsidiaries that incurred the Company’s Nashville Hotel Loan or owned or managed the Nashville loan borrower as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 as guarantor subsidiaries in the consolidating financial information presented below. The results of operations and cash flows of these subsidiaries for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 are classified as non-guarantor subsidiaries in the consolidating financial information presented below. The Company’s investment in Bass Pro and certain other discontinued operations remained non-guarantors of the 8% Senior Notes and 6.75% Senior Notes after repayment of the Senior Loan, so the Company has classified the balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows of these subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 as non-guarantor subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantors”) in the consolidating financial information presented below. The condensed consolidating financial information includes certain allocations of revenues and expenses based on management’s best estimates, which are not necessarily indicative of financial position, results of operations and cash flows that these entities would have achieved on a stand-alone basis.

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

Our Current Operations

Our operations are organized into four principal business segments:

· Hospitality, consisting of our Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center (“Gaylord Opryland”), our Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center (“Gaylord Palms”), our Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center (“Gaylord Texan”), and our Radisson Hotel at Opryland (“Radisson Hotel”).

· ResortQuest, consisting of our vacation rental property management business.

· Opry and Attractions, consisting of our Grand Ole Opry assets, WSM-AM and our Nashville attractions.

· Corporate and Other, consisting of our ownership interests in certain entities and our corporate expenses.

For the three and six months ended June 30, our total revenues were divided among these business segments as follows:

	Three Months						Six Months
	Ended June						Ended June 30,
Segment	2005			2004			2005			2004
Hospitality		64.6	%		63.4	%		64.8	%		61.9	%
ResortQuest		27.2	%		28.3	%		28.1	%		30.0	%
Opry and Attractions		8.2	%		8.3	%		7.0	%		8.1	%
Corporate and Other.		—			—			0.1	%		—

We generate a significant portion of our revenues from our Hospitality segment. We believe that we are the only hospitality company focused primarily on the large group meetings and conventions sector of the lodging market. Our strategy is to continue this focus by concentrating on our “All-in-One-Place” self-contained service offerings and by emphasizing customer rotation among our convention properties, while also offering additional vacation and entertainment opportunities to guests and target customers through the ResortQuest and Opry and Attractions business segments.

Our concentration in the hospitality industry, and in particular the large group meetings sector of the hospitality industry, exposes us to certain risks outside of our control. General economic conditions, particularly national and global economic conditions, can affect the number and size of meetings and conventions attending our hotels. Our business is also exposed to risks related to tourism, including terrorist attacks and other global events which affect levels of tourism in the United States and, in particular, the areas of the country in which our properties are located. Competition and the desirability of the locations in which our hotels and other vacation properties are located are also important risks to our business.

Key Performance Indicators

     Hospitality Segment.The operating results of our Hospitality segment are highly dependent on the volume of customers at our hotels and the quality of the customer mix at our hotels. These factors impact the price we can

38

charge for our hotel rooms and other amenities, such as food and beverage and meeting space. Key performance indicators related to revenue are:

· hotel occupancy (volume indicator)

· average daily rate (“ADR”) (price indicator)

· Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”) (a summary measure of hotel results calculated by dividing room sales by room nights available to guests for the period)

· Total Revenue per Available Room (“Total RevPAR”) (a summary measure of hotel results calculated by dividing the sum of room, food and beverage and other ancillary service revenue by room nights available to guests for the period)

· Net Definite Room Nights Booked (a volume indicator which represents the total number of definite bookings for future room nights at Gaylord hotels confirmed during the applicable period, net of cancellations)

We recognize Hospitality segment revenue from rooms as earned on the close of business each day and from concessions and food and beverage sales at the time of sale. Almost all of our Hospitality segment revenues are either cash-based or, for meeting and convention groups meeting our credit criteria, billed and collected on a short-term receivables basis. Our industry is capital intensive, and we rely on the ability of our hotels to generate operating cash flow to repay debt financing, fund maintenance capital expenditures and provide excess cash flow for future development.

The results of operations of our Hospitality segment are affected by the number and type of group meetings and conventions scheduled to attend our hotels in a given period. We attempt to offset any identified shortfalls in occupancy by creating special events at our hotels or offering incentives to groups in order to attract increased business during this period. A variety of factors can affect the results of any interim period, including the nature and quality of the group meetings and conventions attending our hotels during such period, which meetings and conventions have often been contracted for several years in advance, and the level of transient business at our hotels during such period.

     ResortQuest Segment.Our ResortQuest segment earns revenues through property management fees and other sources such as real estate commissions. The operating results of our ResortQuest segment are primarily dependent on the volume of guests staying at vacation properties managed by us and the number and quality of vacation properties managed by us. Key performance factors related to revenue are:

· occupancy rate of units available for rental (volume indicator)

· average daily rate (price indicator)

· ResortQuest Revenue per Available Room (“ResortQuest RevPAR”) (a summary measure of ResortQuest results calculated by dividing gross lodging revenue for properties under exclusive rental management contracts by net available unit nights available to guests for the period)

· Total Units Under Management (a volume indicator which represents the total number of vacation properties available for rental)

We recognize revenues from property management fees ratably over the rental period based on our share of the total rental price of the vacation rental property. Almost all of our vacation rental property revenues are deducted

39

from the rental fees paid by guests prior to paying the remaining rental price to the property owner. Other ResortQuest revenues are recognized at the time of sale.

The results of operations of our ResortQuest segment are principally affected by the number of guests staying at the vacation rental properties managed by us in a given period. A variety of factors can affect the results of any interim period, such as adverse weather conditions, economic conditions in a particular region or the nation as a whole, the perceived attractiveness of the vacation destinations in which we are located and the quantity and quality of our vacation rental property units under management. In addition, many of the units that we manage are located in seasonal locations (for example, our beach resorts in Florida), resulting in our business locations recognizing a larger percentage of their revenues during those peak seasons.

Overall Outlook

We have invested heavily in our operations in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, primarily in connection with the construction and ultimate opening of the Gaylord Texan in 2003 and 2004, as well as the ResortQuest acquisition, which was consummated on November 20, 2003. Our investments in 2005 will consist primarily of ongoing capital improvements for our existing properties and the construction of the Gaylord National hotel project described below. We also plan to grow our ResortQuest brand through acquisitions from time to time depending on the opportunities.

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 6, 2005 and as more fully described in Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 included herewith, our then wholly-owned subsidiary RHAC, LLC completed the purchase of the Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii for a purchase price of $107 million on May 31, 2005. Simultaneously with this purchase, a private real estate fund managed by DB Real Estate Opportunities Group acquired an 80.1% interest in the parent of RHAC, LLC, and we retained a 19.9% interest in this entity. As a part of this transaction, we also entered into a joint venture arrangement with the fund. As a result of the completion of the property acquisition and the equity investment by the real estate fund, we expect our gross investment in the property after expected capital improvements to be $5-7 million. Additionally, as a result of the joint venture arrangement, ResortQuest entered into a new 20-year management agreement with respect to the property.

On February 24, 2005, we acquired approximately 42 acres of land and related land improvements in Prince George’s County, Maryland (Washington D.C. area) for approximately $29 million on which we are developing a hotel to be known as the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. Approximately $17 million of this was paid in the first quarter of 2005, with the remainder payable upon completion of various phases of the project. We currently expect to open the hotel in 2008. In connection with this project, Prince George’s County, Maryland approved, in July 2004, two bond issues related to the development. The first bond issuance, in the amount of $65 million, will support the cost of infrastructure being constructed by the project developer, such as roads, water and sewer lines. The second bond issuance, in the amount of $95 million, will be issued directly to us upon completion of the project. We will initially hold the bonds and receive the debt service thereon which is payable from tax increment, hotel tax and special hotel rental taxes generated from our development. On May 9, 2005, we entered into an agreement with a general contractor for the provision of certain initial construction services at the site. We expect to enter into a construction contract for the entire hotel project when we have determined the guaranteed maximum price for the project. We are also considering other potential hotel sites throughout the country. The timing and extent of any of these development projects is uncertain.

Total Revenues

The increase in our total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, is primarily attributable to the increase in our Hospitality segment revenues (an increase of $19.7 million for the three months, and an increase of $66.9 million for the six months, ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004), described more fully below, and to the increase in our ResortQuest segment revenues (an increase of $5.1 million for the three months, and an increase of $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004), also described more fully below.

Total Operating Expenses

The increase in our total operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, is primarily due to increased Hospitality segment operating expenses associated with increased Hospitality segment revenues (excluding preopening costs, total Hospitality operating expenses of $123.7 million for the three months, and $244.2 million for the six months, ended June 30, 2005), described more fully below, and increased ResortQuest segment operating expenses (total ResortQuest operating expenses of $63.7 million for the three months, and $125.4 million for the six months, ended June 30, 2005), also described more fully below.

Operating Income (Loss)

The operating income experienced in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 was an improvement from the operating loss experienced in the same periods in 2004 due primarily to improved Hospitality segment performance. An increase in Opry and Attractions segment performance, as well as reductions in preopening costs and Corporate and Other segment expenses (as compared to the same periods in 2004), all as described more fully below, also contributed to our improved operating performance in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. However, ResortQuest segment performance, described more fully below, served to reduce our operating income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004.

Net Income (Loss)

The net loss experienced in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 was an improvement from the net loss experienced in the same periods in 2004 due to the improvements in operating income described above. Increased interest expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 (as compared to the same periods in 2004), more fully described

42

below, served to offset the impact of our improvements in operating income over such periods. Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was impacted by an unrealized gain on Viacom stock and derivatives, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2005 of $3.6 million (as compared to an unrealized loss on Viacom stock and derivatives, net, for the same period in 2004 of $25.5 million) and a provision for income taxes of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 (as compared to a benefit for income taxes of $16.6 million for the same period in 2004), each as more fully described below. Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was impacted by an unrealized loss on Viacom stock and derivatives, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 of $7.9 million (as compared to an unrealized loss on Viacom stock and derivatives, net, for the same period in 2004 of $37.3 million) and a benefit for income taxes of $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 (as compared to a benefit for income taxes of $27.5 million for the same period in 2004), each as more fully described below.

Factors and Trends Contributing to Operating Performance

The most important factors and trends contributing to our operating performance during the periods described herein have been:

• Increased Hospitality segment revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 resulting from improved system-wide occupancy rates, average daily rate and RevPAR, for these periods. This was a result of a significant improvement in the operating performance of the Gaylord Texan in 2005, as compared to the hotel’s results in 2004 after its opening in April 2004, as well as overall strong results from both the Gaylord Opryland and the Gaylord Palms hotels.

• Continued strong food and beverage, banquet and catering services at our hotels for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, which positively impacted Total RevPAR at our hotels and served to supplement the impact of the increased occupancy, average daily rate and RevPAR of the Hospitality segment during the first and second quarters of 2005.

• The addition of revenues and expenses to our ResortQuest segment associated with the approximately 2,500 additional units gained in the acquisition of vacation rental management businesses from East West Resorts, LLC and Whistler Lodging Company, Ltd. in the first quarter of 2005.

• An increase in ResortQuest average daily rates during the first and second quarters of 2005, which, although offset by slightly lower occupancy rates in such periods, served to increase ResortQuest RevPAR in such periods. ResortQuest results were also impacted by continued reinvestment in brand-building initiatives, which include technology, marketing and organizational improvements.

(1)	Hospitality results and performance metrics include the results of our Radisson Hotel and include the results of the Gaylord Texan from April 2, 2004, its first date of operation.
(2)	Hospitality operating income does not include preopening costs. See the discussion of preopening costs set forth below.
(3)	We calculate Hospitality RevPAR by dividing room sales by room nights available to guests for the period. Hospitality RevPAR is not comparable to similarly titled measures such as revenues.
(4)	We calculate Hospitality Total RevPAR by dividing the sum of room sales, food and beverage, and other ancillary services (which equals Hospitality segment revenue) by room nights available to guests for the period. Hospitality Total RevPAR is not comparable to similarly titled measures such as revenues.
(5)	Net Definite Room Night Booked includes 93,000 and 0 room nights for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 115,000 and 0 room nights for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, related to Gaylord National, which we expect to open in 2008.

The increase in total Hospitality segment revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004, is due to a significant improvement in the operating performance of the Gaylord Texan in 2005, as compared to the hotel’s results in 2004 after its opening in April 2004, as well as overall strong results from both the Gaylord Opryland and the Gaylord Palms hotels, described below.

Hospitality segment operating expenses consist of direct operating costs, selling, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization expense. The increase in Hospitality segment operating expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004, is due to increased Hospitality segment operating costs, described below.

Hospitality segment operating costs, which consist of direct costs associated with the daily operations of our hotels (primarily room, food and beverage and convention costs), increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, due to the increased costs associated with increased Hospitality segment occupancy rates. Hospitality segment operating costs in the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, were also impacted by the opening of the Gaylord Texan hotel in April 2004.

Hospitality segment selling, general and administrative expenses, consisting of administrative and overhead costs, declined slightly in the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, primarily due to a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses from the amounts incurred in 2004 associated with the opening of the Gaylord Texan. Hospitality segment selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, primarily due to an increase in Gaylord Opryland selling, general and administrative expenses, described below.

Total Hospitality depreciation and amortization expense declined slightly in the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, primarily due to certain fixed assets at Gaylord Opryland becoming fully depreciated during the three months ended June 30, 2005. Total Hospitality depreciation and amortization expense increased in the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, primarily due to the opening of the Gaylord Texan.

Total RevPAR	$	226.38		$	213.20			6.2	%	$	209.43		$	190.53			9.9	%

The increase in Gaylord Opryland revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, is due to slightly increased occupancy rates at the hotel and increased Total RevPAR at the hotel due to improved food and beverage and other ancillary services revenue at the hotel. A lower average daily rate due to groups with lower room rates at the hotel during the period resulted in a marginally lower RevPAR at the hotel during the period. The hotel’s results during the three months ended June 30, 2005 were also impacted by the commencement in May 2005 of a multi-year room refurbishment program, which removed 120 rooms from available inventory during the period. This refurbishment program will be complete by December 2007.

The increase in Gaylord Opryland revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, is due to increased occupancy rates at the hotel and increased Total RevPAR at the hotel due to improved food and beverage and other ancillary services revenue at the hotel. The increase in occupancy rates was due to increased group business during the period. A decrease in average daily rate, due to groups with lower room rates at the hotel during the period, served to offset the impact of the hotel’s increased occupancy on the hotel’s RevPAR for the period.

The increase in operating costs at Gaylord Opryland in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004, was due to increased costs necessary to service the increased hotel occupancy during such periods. Selling, general and administrative expenses at Gaylord Opryland in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 increased from the same periods in 2004 due to increased advertising costs associated with the opening of the Relâche spa, increased marketing costs related to special events at hotel, non-recurring personnel costs, and increased credit card commissions related to the hotel’s increased revenues.

RevPAR	$	132.60		$	125.71			5.5	%	$	146.27		$	144.72			1.1	%
Total RevPAR	$	345.76		$	302.56			14.3	%	$	371.87		$	345.80			7.5	%

The increase in Gaylord Palms revenue and RevPAR in the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, is due to an increase in average daily rate due to groups with higher room rates. The hotel’s strong food and beverage and other ancillary revenue served to increase the hotel’s Total RevPAR for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004.

Occupancy rates, average daily rate and RevPAR for the six months ended June 30, 2005 remained relatively flat, as compared to the same period in 2004, although strong food and beverage and other ancillary revenues served to increase the hotel’s Total RevPAR for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004.

Operating costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 increased from the same periods in 2004 due primarily to costs associated with increased utilization of the hotel’s food and beverage services and the hotel’s other ancillary services.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, remained relatively flat as compared to the same periods in 2004.

ADR	$	161.01		$	135.75			18.6	%	$	164.79		$	135.75			21.4	%
RevPAR	$	121.84		$	86.91			40.2	%	$	119.55		$	86.91			37.6	%
Total RevPAR	$	305.34		$	230.16			32.7	%	$	301.46		$	230.16			31.0	%

The increase in Gaylord Texan revenue, RevPAR and Total RevPAR in the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, is due to improved occupancy and average daily rate during such period, which can be attributed to the increasing number and quality of groups staying at the Gaylord Texan after its initial months of operation during the second quarter of 2004.

Operating costs for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, increased due to increased costs necessary to service the increased occupancy at the hotel. The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, is due to the increased marketing costs incurred in connection with the hotel’s opening in 2004.

The increase in Gaylord Texan revenue and operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, is primarily due to the fact that the Gaylord Texan’s first date of operation was April 2, 2004.

Total RevPAR	$	77.78		$	76.79			1.3	%	$	71.60		$	64.90			10.3	%

Our Radisson hotel revenue, RevPAR and Total RevPAR remained relatively flat in the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, as decreased occupancy rates were offset by higher average daily rate during such period.

Our Radisson hotel revenue, RevPAR and Total RevPAR increased in the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, due to increased occupancy rates and a higher average daily rate during such period.

Operating costs at the Radisson hotel in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004, remained stable. Selling, general and administrative expenses at the Radisson hotel in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004, increased primarily due to non-recurring expenses associated with replacement of the hotel’s general manager.

Total Units Under Management		18,798			17,507			7.4	%		18,798			17,507			7.4	%

(1) We calculate ResortQuest RevPAR by dividing gross lodging revenue for properties under exclusive rental management contracts by net available unit nights available to guests for the period. Our ResortQuest segment revenue represents a percentage of the gross lodging revenues based on the services provided by ResortQuest. Net available unit nights (those available to guests) are equal to total available unit nights less owner, maintenance, and complimentary unit nights. ResortQuest RevPAR is not comparable to similarly titled measures such as revenues.

     Revenues.Our ResortQuest segment earns revenues primarily as a result of property management fees and service fees recognized over the time during which our guests stay at our properties. Property management fees paid to us are generally a designated percentage of the rental price of the vacation property, plus certain incremental fees, all of which are based upon the type of services provided by us to the property owner and the type of rental units managed. We also recognize other revenues primarily related to real estate broker commissions. The increase in ResortQuest revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to 2004, is due primarily to the addition of units associated with the East-West and Whistler acquisitions and increases in ResortQuest RevPAR for such periods. In addition, the timing of the Easter Holiday period, a strong vacation travel period, shifted from the second quarter in 2004 to the first quarter in 2005, affecting comparisons between 2004 and 2005.

     Operating Expenses.ResortQuest operating expenses primarily consist of operating costs, selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization expense. Operating costs of ResortQuest, which are comprised of payroll expenses, credit card transaction fees, travel agency fees, advertising, payroll for managed entities and various other direct operating costs, increased in the first and second quarters of 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004, due to the addition of units associated with the East-West and Whistler acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative expenses of ResortQuest, which are comprised of payroll expenses, rent, utilities and various other general and administrative costs, increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, due to additional expenses associated with the East-West and Whistler acquisitions, as well as

continued reinvestment in brand-building initiatives, which include technology, marketing and organizational improvements.

(1)  Opry and Attractions operating income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 excludes the effects of an impairment charge of $1.2 million recorded during those periods.

The increase in revenues in the Opry and Attractions segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004, is primarily due to increased attendance at the Grand Ole Opry and retail sales of our recently released five-volume audio project entitled Grand Ole Opry Live Classics.

The increase in Opry and Attractions operating costs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004, was due primarily to increased costs related to the increased attendance at the Grand Ole Opry, as well as the costs associated with the retail release of the Grand Ole Opry Live Classics project. The decrease in Opry and Attractions selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004, was due primarily to reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses at our Nashville area attractions, including the General Jackson.

(1)  Corporate and Other operating income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 excludes the effects of an adjustment to restructuring charges of $0.1 million recorded during those periods.

     Corporate and Other revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, primarily consisted of rental income and corporate sponsorships.

     Corporate and Other operating expenses decreased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. Corporate and Other operating costs, which primarily consist of costs associated with information technology, decreased in the first three and six months of 2005, as compared to the first three and six months of 2004, mostly due to a reduction in contract service costs and consulting fees related to information technology initiatives . Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses, which consist of the Gaylord Entertainment Center naming rights agreement (prior to its termination on February 22, 2005), senior management salaries and benefits, legal, human resources, accounting, pension and other administrative costs, decreased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, primarily due to the elimination of expense associated with the naming rights agreement. Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2005 were also impacted by the net reversal of $2.4 million of expense previously accrued under the naming rights agreement as a result of the settlement of litigation in connection with that agreement, the effect of which was largely offset by the contribution by us of $2.3 million of Viacom stock to the newly formed Gaylord charitable foundation in the first quarter of 2005. Corporate and Other depreciation and amortization expense, which is primarily related to information technology equipment and capitalized electronic data processing software costs, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased from the same periods in 2004 due to the retirement of certain depreciable assets.

Operating Results — Preopening costs

     In accordance with AICPA SOP 98-5, “Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities”, we expense the costs associated with start-up activities and organization costs as incurred. The decrease in preopening costs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004, was a result of the elimination in 2005 of preopening costs related to the Gaylord Texan and a partially offsetting increase in preopening costs associated with the Gaylord National.

Interest Expense, Net of Amounts Capitalized

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, increased during the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, due to higher average debt balances during 2005. Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, increased during the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, due to higher average debt balances during 2005, the write-off of $0.5 million of deferred financing costs in the first quarter of 2005 in connection with the replacement of our $100.0 million credit facility, and a $4.1 million decrease in capitalized interest. Capitalized interest decreased from $5.2 million during the six month ended June 30, 2004 to $1.1 million during the six month ended June 30, 2005 as a result of the opening of the Gaylord Texan in April 2004. Our weighted average interest rate on our borrowings, including the interest expense associated with the secured forward exchange contract related to our Viacom stock investment and excluding the write-off of deferred financing costs during the period, was 6.3% and 5.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and was 6.2% and 5.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. As further discussed in Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 included herewith, the secured forward exchange contract related to our Viacom Stock investment resulted in non-cash interest expense of $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and $13.3 million and $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Interest Income

The increase in interest income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004, is due to higher cash balances invested in interest-bearing accounts in 2005.

Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Viacom Stock and Derivatives, Net

During 2000, we entered into a seven-year secured forward exchange contract with respect to 10.9 million shares of our Viacom Class B common stock investment. Effective January 1, 2001, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 133, as amended. Components of the secured forward exchange contract are considered derivatives as defined by SFAS No. 133.

For the three months ended June 30, 2005, we recorded a net pretax loss of $30.7 million related to the decrease in fair value of the Viacom stock. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, we recorded a net pretax gain of $34.3 million

53

related to the increase in fair value of the derivatives associated with the secured forward exchange contract. This resulted in a net pretax gain of $3.6 million relating to the unrealized gain (loss) on Viacom stock and derivatives, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2005.

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we recorded a net pretax loss of $47.9 million related to the decrease in fair value of the Viacom stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we recorded a net pretax gain of $40.0 million related to the increase in fair value of the derivatives associated with the secured forward exchange contract. This resulted in a net pretax loss of $7.9 million relating to the unrealized gain (loss) on Viacom stock and derivatives, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Income/Loss from Unconsolidated Companies

From January 1, 2000 to July 8, 2004, we accounted for our investment in Bass Pro under the cost method of accounting. On July 8, 2004, Bass Pro redeemed the approximate 28.5% interest held in Bass Pro by private equity investor, J.W. Childs Associates. As a result, our ownership interest in Bass Pro increased to 26.6% as of the redemption date. Because our ownership interest in Bass Pro increased to a level exceeding 20%, we were required by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”, to begin accounting for our investment in Bass Pro under the equity method of accounting beginning in the third quarter of 2004. The equity method of accounting has been applied retroactively to all periods presented.

In the second quarter of 2005, Bass Pro restated its previously issued historical financial statements to reflect certain non-cash changes, which resulted primarily from a change in the manner in which Bass Pro accounts for its long term leases. This restatement resulted in a cumulative reduction in Bass Pro’s net income of $8.6 million through December 31, 2004, which resulted in a pro-rata cumulative reduction in our income from unconsolidated companies of $1.7 million. We determined that the impact of the adjustments recorded by Bass Pro is immaterial to our consolidated financial statements in all prior periods. Therefore, we have reflected our $1.7 million share of the re-statement adjustments as a one-time adjustment to loss from unconsolidated companies during the second quarter of 2005. Including this one-time adjustment, our equity income from our investment in Bass Pro was a loss of $1.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and a loss of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Other Gains and Losses, Net

Our other gains and losses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 primarily consisted of a $2.1 million gain on the sale of the Ryman Auditorium parking lot, a dividend distribution from our investment in Viacom stock, a loss on the retirement of certain other fixed assets and other miscellaneous income and expenses. Our other gains and losses for the three months ended June 30, 2004 primarily consisted of a dividend distribution from our investment in Viacom stock and other miscellaneous income and expenses.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate as applied to pretax income from continuing operations differed from the statutory federal rate due to the following (as of June 30):

	Three Months						Six Months
	Ended June 30,						Ended June 30,
	2005			2004			2005			2004
U.S. federal statutory rate		35	%		35	%		35	%		35	%
State taxes (net of federal tax benefit and change in valuation allowance)		2			2			2			3
Adjustment to deferred tax liabilities due to state tax rate adjustment		134			6			(5	)		3
Other		(2	)		(1	)		(1	)		(1	)
Effective tax rate		169	%		42	%		31	%		40	%

The increase in our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to our effective tax rate for the same period in 2004, was due primarily to a change in the rate used to value certain prior year state deferred tax assets.

The decrease in our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to our effective tax rate for the same period in 2004, was due primarily to a change in the rate used to value certain prior year state deferred tax assets.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities.Cash flow from operating activities is the principal source of cash used to fund our operating expenses, interest payments on debt, and maintenance capital expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, our net cash flows provided by operating activities — continuing operations were $67.3 million, reflecting primarily our net loss before non-cash depreciation expense, amortization expense, income tax benefit, interest expense, loss on the Viacom stock and related derivatives, loss from unconsolidated companies and gains on sales of certain fixed assets of approximately $47.4 million, as well as favorable changes in working capital of approximately $19.9 million. The favorable changes in working capital primarily resulted from the timing of payment of various liabilities, including trade payables, accrued expenses, and accrued interest, as well as an increase in deferred revenues due to increased receipts of deposits on advance bookings of hotel rooms (primarily at Gaylord Opryland and Gaylord Texan) and vacation properties (primarily related to a seasonal increase in deposits received on advance bookings of vacation properties for the summer months). These favorable changes in working capital were partially offset by an increase in trade receivables due to a seasonal increase in revenues and the timing of payments received from corporate group guests at Gaylord Opryland, Gaylord Palms and Gaylord Texan and a seasonal increase in revenues at ResortQuest, as well as an increase in prepaid expenses due to the timing of payments made to renew our insurance contracts.

56

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, our net cash flows provided by operating activities — continuing operations were $39.4 million, reflecting primarily our net loss before non-cash depreciation expense, amortization expense, income tax benefit, interest expense, loss on the Viacom stock and related derivatives, impairment charges, and income from unconsolidated companies of approximately $19.2 million, as well as favorable changes in working capital of approximately $20.2 million due to the timing of payment of various liabilities including trade payables and accrued expenses, as well as an increase in deferred revenues as a result of increased receipts of deposits on advance bookings of hotel rooms and seasonal increases in vacation rental property bookings at ResortQuest. These favorable changes in working capital were offset by an increase in trade receivables due to the opening of the Gaylord Texan, the timing of guest lodging versus payments received at Gaylord Opryland and Gaylord Palms and a seasonal increase in revenues at ResortQuest.

     Cash Flows From Investing Activities.During the six months ended June 30, 2005, our primary uses of funds and investing activities were purchases of property and equipment, which totaled $60.2 million (consisting of construction at the new Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center of $25.7 million, continuing construction at the new Gaylord Texan of $9.7 million, approximately $12.4 million at Gaylord Opryland primarily related to the construction of a new spa facility, and approximately $8.0 million related to ResortQuest) and the purchases of two businesses (Whistler Lodging Company, Ltd. and East West Resorts), which totaled $20.2 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, our primary uses of funds and investing activities were purchases of property and equipment, which totaled $87.7 million. These capital expenditures include continuing construction at the new Gaylord Texan of $74.9 million, approximately $4.1 million related to Gaylord Opryland, and approximately $1.2 million related to the Grand Ole Opry.

We currently project capital expenditures for the twelve months of 2005 to total approximately $165 million, which includes approximately $72 million related to the construction of our new Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in Prince George’s County, Maryland, continuing construction costs at the Gaylord Texan of approximately $20 million, approximately $27 million at Gaylord Opryland primarily related to the construction of a new spa facility and a room refurbishment project, and approximately $20 million related to ResortQuest.

     Cash Flows From Financing Activities.Our cash flows from financing activities reflect primarily the issuance of debt and the repayment of long-term debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, our net cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $30.6 million, reflecting the payment of $8.5 million of deferred financing costs in connection with our entering into a new $600.0 million credit facility and a $27.8 million increase in restricted cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by $6.1 million in proceeds received from the exercise of stock options.

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, our net cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $16.9 million, reflecting scheduled repayments of $4.0 million of the senior loan portion of our former Nashville hotel loan and an increase in restricted cash and cash equivalents of $17.4 million, offset by proceeds received from the exercise of stock options of $5.6 million.

On January 9, 2004, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the SEC pursuant to which we may sell from time to time up to $500 million of our debt or equity securities. The Registration Statement as amended on April 27, 2004 was declared effective by the SEC on April 27, 2004. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement at the time of sale of the securities, we may use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities for general corporate purposes, which may include reducing our outstanding indebtedness, increasing our working capital, acquisitions and capital expenditures.

Principal Debt Agreements

     New $600 Million Credit Facility.On March 10, 2005, we entered into a new $600.0 million credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. acting as the administrative agent. Our new credit facility consists of the following components: (a) a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which includes a $50.0 million letter of credit sublimit, and (b) a $300.0 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility, which may be drawn on in one or more advances during its term. The credit facility also includes an accordion feature that will allow us, on a one-time basis, to increase the credit facilities by a total of up to $300.0 million, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. The revolving loan, letters of credit and term loan mature on March 9, 2010. At our election, the revolving loans and the term loans may have an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2% or the lending banks’ base rate plus 1%, subject to adjustments based on our financial performance. Interest on our borrowings is payable quarterly, in arrears, for base rate loans and at the end of each interest rate period for LIBOR rate-based loans. Principal is payable in full at maturity. We are required to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per year of the average unused portion of the credit facility.

The purpose of the new credit facility is for working capital and capital expenditures and the financing of the costs and expenses related to the construction of the Gaylord National hotel. Construction of the Gaylord National hotel is required to be substantially completed by June 30, 2008 (subject to customary force majeure provisions).

The new credit facility is (i) secured by a first mortgage and lien on the real property and related personal and intellectual property of our Gaylord Opryland hotel, Gaylord Texan hotel, Gaylord Palms hotel and Gaylord National hotel (to be constructed) and pledges of equity interests in the entities that own such properties and (ii) guaranteed by each of our four wholly owned subsidiaries that own the four hotels as well as ResortQuest International, Inc. Advances are subject to a 60% borrowing base, based on the appraisal values of the hotel properties (reducing to 50% in the event a hotel property is sold). Our former revolving credit facility has been paid in full and the related mortgages and liens have been released.

In addition, the new credit facility contains certain covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, liens and encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The material financial covenants, ratios or tests contained in the new credit facility are as follows:

• we must maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of not greater than (i) 7.00 to 1.00 for calendar quarters ending during calendar year 2007, and (ii) 6.25 to 1.00 for all other calendar quarters ending during the term of the credit facility, which levels are subject to increase to 7.25 to 1.00 and 7.00 to 1.00, respectively, for three (3) consecutive quarters at our option if we make a leverage ratio election.

• we must maintain a consolidated tangible net worth of not less than the sum of $550.0 million, increased on a cumulative basis as of the end of each calendar quarter, commencing with the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2005, by an amount equal to (i) 75% of consolidated net income (to the extent positive) for the calendar quarter then ended, plus (ii) 75% of the proceeds received by us or any of our subsidiaries in connection with any equity issuance.

• we must maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than (i) 1.50 to 1.00 for any reporting calendar quarter during which the leverage ratio election is effective; and (ii) 2.00 to 1.00 for all other calendar quarters during the term hereof.

• we must maintain an implied debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of adjusted net operating income to monthly principal and interest that would be required if the outstanding balance were amortized over 25 years at an interest rate equal to the then current seven year Treasury Note plus 0.25%) of not less than 1.60 to 1.00.

58

• our investments in entities which are not wholly-owned subsidiaries may not exceed an amount equal to ten percent (10.0%) of our consolidated total assets.

As of June 30, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants. As of June 30, 2005, no borrowings were outstanding under the $600.0 million credit facility, but the lending banks had issued $17.7 million of letters of credit under the facility for us. The credit facility is cross-defaulted to our other indebtedness.

     8% Senior Notes.On November 12, 2003, we completed our offering of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2013 (the “8% Senior Notes”) in an institutional private placement. In January 2004, we filed an exchange offer registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC with respect to the 8% Senior Notes and exchanged the existing senior notes for publicly registered senior notes with the same terms after the registration statement was declared effective in April 2004. The interest rate of the notes is 8%, although we have entered into interest rate swaps with respect to $125 million principal amount of the 8% Senior Notes which results in an effective interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.95% with respect to that portion of the notes. The 8% Senior Notes, which mature on November 15, 2013, bear interest semi- annually in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, starting on May 15, 2004. The 8% Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after November 15, 2008 at a designated redemption amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may redeem up to 35% of the 8% Senior Notes before November 15, 2006 with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings. The 8% Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with our other unsecured unsubordinated debt, but are effectively subordinated to all of our secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such debt. The 8% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by generally all of our active domestic subsidiaries. In connection with the offering and subsequent registration of the 8% Senior Notes, we paid approximately $10.1 million in deferred financing costs. The net proceeds from the offering of the 8% Senior Notes, together with cash on hand, were used as follows:

• $275.5 million was used to repay our $150 million senior term loan portion and the $50 million subordinated term loan portion of the 2003 Florida/Texas loans, as well as the remaining $66 million of our $100 million Nashville hotel mezzanine loan and to pay certain fees and expenses related to the ResortQuest acquisition; and

• $79.2 million was placed in escrow pending consummation of the ResortQuest acquisition, at which time that amount was used, together with available cash, to repay ResortQuest’s senior notes and its credit facility.

In addition, the 8% Senior Notes indenture contains certain covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, capital expenditures, mergers and consolidations, liens and encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The 8% Senior Notes are cross-defaulted to our other indebtedness.

     6.75% Senior Notes.On November 30, 2004, we completed our offering of $225 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2014 (the “6.75% Senior Notes”) in an institutional private placement. In April 2005, we filed an exchange offer registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC with respect to the 6.75% Senior Notes and exchanged the existing senior notes for publicly registered senior notes after the registration statement was declared effective in May 2005. The interest rate of the notes is 6.75%. The 6.75% Senior Notes, which mature on November 15, 2014, bear interest semi-annually in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, starting on May 15, 2005. The 6.75% Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after November 15, 2009 at a designated redemption amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may redeem up to 35% of the 6.75% Senior Notes before November 15, 2007 with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings. The 6.75% Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with our other unsecured unsubordinated debt, but are effectively subordinated to all of our secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such debt. The 6.75% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by generally all of our active domestic subsidiaries. In connection with the offering of the 6.75% Senior Notes, we paid approximately $4.2 million in deferred financing costs. The net proceeds from the offering of the 6.75% Senior Notes, together with cash on hand, were used to repay the senior loan secured by the Nashville hotel assets

59

and to provide capital for growth of the Company’s other businesses and other general corporate purposes. In addition, the 6.75% Senior Notes indenture contains certain covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, capital expenditures, mergers and consolidations, liens and encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The 6.75% Senior Notes are cross-defaulted to our other indebtedness.

Prior Indebtedness

     $100 Million Revolving Credit Facility.Prior to the completion of our $600 million credit facility on March 10, 2005, we had in place, from November 20, 2003, a $65.0 million revolving credit facility, which was increased to $100.0 million on December 17, 2003. The revolving credit facility, which replaced the revolving credit portion of our 2003 Florida/Texas senior secured credit facility discussed below, was scheduled to mature in May 2006. The revolving credit facility had an interest rate, at our election, of either LIBOR plus 3.50%, subject to a minimum LIBOR of 1.32%, or the lending banks’ base rate plus 2.25%. Interest on our borrowings was payable quarterly, in arrears, for base rate loans and at the end of each interest rate period for LIBOR rate-based loans. Principal was payable in full at maturity. The revolving credit facility was guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our subsidiaries that were guarantors of our 8% Senior Notes and 6.75% Senior Notes, described above (consisting generally of all our active domestic subsidiaries including, following repayment of the Nashville hotel loan arrangements in December 2004, the subsidiaries owning the Nashville hotel assets), and was secured by a leasehold mortgage on the Gaylord Palms. We were required to pay a commitment fee equal to 0.5% per year of the average daily unused revolving portion of the revolving credit facility.

In addition, the revolving credit facility contained certain covenants which, among other things, limited the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, capital expenditures, mergers and consolidations, liens and encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The material financial covenants, ratios or tests in the revolving credit facility were as follows:

• a maximum total leverage ratio requiring that at the end of each fiscal quarter, our ratio of consolidated indebtedness minus unrestricted cash on hand to consolidated EBITDA for the most recent four fiscal quarters, subject to certain adjustments, not exceed a range of ratios (decreasing from 7.5 to 1.0 for early 2004 to 5.0 to 1.0 for 2005 and thereafter) for the recent four fiscal quarters;

• a requirement that the adjusted net operating income for the Gaylord Palms be at least $25 million at the end of each fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2003, through December 31, 2004, and $28 million at the end of each fiscal quarter thereafter, in each case based on the most recent four fiscal quarters; and

• a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio requiring that, at the end of each fiscal quarter, our ratio of consolidated EBITDA for the most recent four fiscal quarters, subject to certain adjustments, to the sum of (i) consolidated interest expense and capitalized interest expense for the previous fiscal quarter, multiplied by four, and (ii) required amortization of indebtedness for the most recent four fiscal quarters, be not less than 1.5 to 1.0.

     Nashville Hotel Loan.On March 27, 2001, we, through wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a $275.0 million senior secured loan and a $100.0 million mezzanine loan with Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc. The mezzanine loan was repaid in November 2003 with the proceeds of the 8% Senior Notes, and the senior loan was repaid in November 2004 with the proceeds of the 6.75% Senior Notes. The senior and mezzanine loan borrower and its sole member were subsidiaries formed for the purposes of owning and operating the Nashville hotel and entering into the loan transaction and were special-purpose entities whose activities were strictly limited, although we fully consolidate these entities in our consolidated financial statements. The senior loan was secured by a first mortgage lien on the assets of Gaylord Opryland. The terms of the senior loan required us to purchase interest rate hedges in notional amounts equal to the outstanding balances of the senior loan in order to protect against adverse changes in one-month LIBOR which have

60

been terminated. We used $235.0 million of the proceeds from the senior loan and the mezzanine loan to refinance an existing interim loan incurred in 2000.

     2003 Florida/Texas Senior Secured Credit Facility.Prior to the closing of the 8% Senior Notes offering and establishment of our $100 million revolving credit facility, we had in place our 2003 Florida/Texas senior secured credit facility, consisting of a $150 million senior term loan, a $50 million subordinated term loan and a $25 million revolving credit facility, outstanding amounts of which were repaid with proceeds of the 8% Senior Notes offering. When the 2003 loans were first established, proceeds were used to repay 2001 term loans incurred in connection with the development of the Gaylord Palms.

Future Developments

On February 24, 2005, we acquired approximately 42 acres of land and related land improvements in Prince George’s County, Maryland (Washington D.C. area) for approximately $29 million on which we are developing a hotel to be known as the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. Approximately $17 million of this was paid in the first quarter of 2005, with the remainder payable upon completion of various phases of the project. We currently expect to open the hotel in 2008. In connection with this project, Prince George’s County, Maryland approved, in July 2004, two bond issues related to the development. The first bond issuance, in the amount of $65 million, will support the cost of infrastructure being constructed by the project developer, such as roads, water and sewer lines. The second bond issuance, in the amount of $95 million, will be issued directly to us upon completion of the project. We will initially hold the bonds and receive the debt service thereon which is payable from tax increment, hotel tax and special hotel rental taxes generated from our development. On May 9, 2005, we entered into an agreement with a general contractor for the provision of certain initial construction services at the site. We expect to enter into a construction contract for the entire hotel project when we have determined the guaranteed maximum price for the project. We are also considering other potential hotel sites throughout the country. The timing and extent of any of these development projects is uncertain.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations as of June 30, 2005, including long-term debt and operating and capital lease commitments (amounts in thousands):

	Total amounts		Less than						After
Contractual obligations	committed		1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		5 years
Long-term debt	$	575,100	$	100	$	—	$	—	$	575,000
Capital leases		1,787		711		749		327		—
Promissory note payable to Nashville Predators		5,000		—		2,000		2,000		1,000
Construction commitments		47,643		39,293		6,675		1,675		—

Total contractual obligations	$	1,371,238	$	54,155	$	30,205	$	19,976	$	1,266,902

The total operating lease commitments of $740.8 million above includes the 75-year operating lease agreement we entered into during 1999 for 65.3 acres of land located in Osceola County, Florida where Gaylord Palms is located.

During 2002 and 2001, we entered into certain agreements related to the construction of the Gaylord Texan. At June 30, 2005, we had paid approximately $446.7 million related to these agreements, which is included in property and equipment in the consolidated balance sheets.

61

During 1999, we entered into a 20-year naming rights agreement related to the Nashville Arena with the Nashville Predators. The Nashville Arena was renamed the Gaylord Entertainment Center as a result of the agreement. The contractual commitment required us to pay $2.1 million during the first year of the contract, with a 5% escalation each year for the remaining term of the agreement, and to purchase a minimum number of tickets to Predators games each year. As further discussed in Note 17 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 included herewith and which is incorporated herein by reference, on February 22, 2005, the Company concluded the settlement of litigation with NHC over (i) NHC’s obligation to redeem the Company’s ownership interest, and (ii) the Company’s obligations under the Nashville Arena Naming Rights Agreement. At the closing of the settlement, NHC redeemed all of the Company’s outstanding limited partnership units in the Predators, effectively terminating the Company’s ownership interest in the Predators. In addition, the Naming Rights Agreement was cancelled. As a part of the settlement, the Company made a one-time cash payment to NHC of $4 million and issued to NHC a 5-year, $5 million promissory note bearing interest at 6% per annum. The note is payable at $1 million per year for 5 years, with the first payment due on the first anniversary of the resumption of NHL Hockey in Nashville, Tennessee, which is currently expected to be on October 5, 2005. The Company’s obligation to pay the outstanding amount under the note shall terminate immediately if, at any time before the note is paid in full, the Predators cease to be an NHL team playing their home games in Nashville, Tennessee. In addition, if the Predators cease to be an NHL team playing its home games in Nashville prior to the first payment under the note, then in addition to the note being cancelled, the Predators will pay the Company $4 million. If the Predators cease to be an NHL team playing its home games in Nashville after the first payment but prior to the second payment under the note, then in addition to the note being cancelled, the Predators will pay the Company $2 million.

At the expiration of the secured forward exchange contract relating to the Viacom stock owned by us, which is scheduled for May 2007, we will be required to pay the deferred taxes relating thereto. This deferred tax liability is estimated to be $152.8 million. A complete description of the secured forward exchange contract is contained in Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 included herewith.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Certain of our accounting policies, including those related to revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, restructuring charges, derivative financial instruments, income taxes, and retirement and postretirement benefits other than pension plans, require that we apply significant judgment in defining the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Our judgments are based on our historical experience, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from our estimates.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is from changes in the value of our investment in Viacom stock and changes in interest rates.

Risks Related to a Change in Value of Our Investment in Viacom Stock

At June 30, 2005, we held an investment of 10.9 million shares of Viacom stock, which was received as the result of the sale of television station KTVT to CBS in 1999 and the subsequent acquisition of CBS by Viacom in 2000. We entered into a secured forward exchange contract related to 10.9 million shares of the Viacom stock in 2000. The secured forward exchange contract protects the Company against decreases in the fair market value of the Viacom stock, while providing for participation in increases in the fair market value. At June 30, 2005, the fair market value of our investment in the 10.9 million shares of Viacom stock was $350.2 million or $32.02 per share. The secured forward exchange contract protects us against decreases in the fair market value of the Viacom Stock below $56.05 per share by way of a put option; the secured forward exchange contract also provides for participation in the increases in the fair market value of the Viacom Stock in that we receive 100% of the appreciation between $56.05 and $64.45 per share and, by way of a call option, 25.93% of the appreciation above $64.45 per share, as of June 30, 2005. The call option strike price decreased from $67.97 as of December 31, 2004 to $64.45 as of June 30, 2005 due to the Company receiving dividend distributions

63

from Viacom. Future dividend distributions received from Viacom may result in an adjusted call strike price. Changes in the market price of the Viacom stock could have a significant impact on future earnings. For example, a 5% increase in the value of the Viacom stock at June 30, 2005 would have resulted in a decrease of $1.2 million in the net pre-tax loss on the investment in Viacom stock and related derivatives for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Likewise, a 5% decrease in the value of the Viacom stock at June 30, 2005 would have resulted in an increase of $0.9 million in the net pre-tax loss on the investment in Viacom stock and related derivatives for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Risks Related to Changes in Interest Rates

     Interest rate risk related to our indebtedness.We have exposure to interest rate changes primarily relating to outstanding indebtedness under our outstanding 8% Senior Notes and our $600 million credit facility.

In conjunction with our offering of the 8% Senior Notes, we terminated our variable to fixed interest rate swaps with an original notional value of $200 million related to the senior term loan and the subordinated term loan portions of the 2003 Florida/ Texas senior secured credit facility, which were repaid for a net benefit aggregating approximately $242,000.

We also entered into a new interest rate swap with respect to $125 million aggregate principal amount of our 8% Senior Notes. This interest rate swap, which has a term of ten years, effectively adjusts the interest rate of that portion of the 8% Senior Notes to LIBOR plus 2.95%. The interest rate swap on the 8% Senior Notes are deemed effective and therefore the hedge has been treated as an effective fair value hedge under SFAS No. 133. If LIBOR were to increase by 100 basis points, our annual interest cost on the 8% Senior Notes would increase by approximately $1.3 million.

Interest on borrowings under our $600.0 million credit facility bear interest at a variable rate of either LIBOR plus 2% or the lending banks’ base rate plus 1%, subject to adjustments based on our financial performance. As of June 30, 2005, no borrowings were outstanding under our $600.0 million credit facility. Therefore, if LIBOR and Eurodollar rates were to increase by 100 basis points each, there would be no impact on our annual interest cost under the $600.0 million credit facility based on debt amounts outstanding at June 30, 2005.

     Cash Balances.Certain of our outstanding cash balances are occasionally invested overnight with high credit quality financial institutions. We do not have significant exposure to changing interest rates on invested cash at June 30, 2005. As a result, the interest rate market risk implicit in these investments at June 30, 2005, if any, is low.

Risks Related to Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Substantially all of our revenues are realized in U.S. dollars and are from customers in the United States. Although we own certain subsidiaries who conduct business in foreign markets and whose transactions are settled in foreign currencies, these operations are not material to our overall operations. Therefore, we do not believe we have any significant foreign currency exchange rate risk. We do not hedge against foreign currency exchange rate changes and do not speculate on the future direction of foreign currencies.

Summary

Based upon our overall market risk exposures at June 30, 2005, we believe that the effects of changes in the stock price of our Viacom stock or interest rates could be material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, we believe that the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows would not be material.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
