Organization and Nature of Business	'
	1	Organization and Nature of Business:
	CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. (the “Company”), was organized in Maryland on August 11, 2003. The Company operates and has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax. Various wholly-owned subsidiaries have been and will be formed by the Company for the purpose of acquiring and owning direct or indirect interests in real estate. The Company generally invests in lifestyle properties in the United States that are primarily leased on a long-term (generally five to 20-years, plus multiple renewal options), triple-net or gross basis to tenants or operators that the Company considers to be industry leading. The Company also leases properties to taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) tenants and engages independent third-party managers to operate those properties. In the event of certain tenant defaults, the Company has also engaged third-party managers to operate properties on its behalf until they are re-leased.
	As of September 30, 2013, the Company owned 138 lifestyle properties directly and indirectly within the following asset classes: ski and mountain lifestyle, golf facilities, senior housing, attractions, marinas and additional lifestyle properties. Eight of these 138 properties are owned through unconsolidated joint ventures and three are located in Canada. Although these are the asset classes in which the Company has invested and is most likely to invest in the future, it may acquire or invest in any type of property that it believes has the potential for long-term growth and income generation. The Company may also make or acquire loans (mortgage, mezzanine and other loans) or other permitted investments. The Company raises capital through its distribution reinvestment plan (“DRP”) and uses such proceeds to make investments and for other corporate purposes. The Company may make selected asset dispositions and reinvest those proceeds in other income producing investment opportunities or other permitted investments in order to maximize the growth and value of its portfolio.

Significant Accounting Policies	'
	2	Significant Accounting Policies:
	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. Amounts as of December 31, 2012 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts, the accounts of wholly owned subsidiaries or subsidiaries for which the Company has a controlling interest, the accounts of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary, and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	In accordance with the guidance for the consolidation of VIEs, the Company analyzes its variable interests, including loans, leases, guarantees, and equity investments, to determine if the entity in which it has a variable interest is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company’s analysis includes both quantitative and qualitative reviews. The Company bases its quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flows of the entity, and its qualitative analysis on its review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and financial agreements. The Company also uses its quantitative and qualitative analyses to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and if such determination is made, it includes the accounts of the VIE in its consolidated financial statements.
	Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. For example, significant estimates and assumptions are made in connection with the allocation of purchase price and the analysis of real estate, equity method investments and impairments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Revision to Previously Issued Financial Statements — In connection with the preparation of its financial statements, the Company determined that the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and for the year ended December 31, 2012 contained an error in the presentation of a deposit escrowed as additional collateral to one of the Company’s loans, entered into by a non-guarantor subsidiary during the three months ended September 30, 2012, in the amount of approximately $11.2 million. Accordingly, the Company revised the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Supplemental Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as reported herein, and will revise the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Supplemental Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 as follows (in thousands):
	CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc.		Nine Months			Year Ended
			Ended			December 31,
			September 30,			2012
			2012
	Cash flows provided by operating activities, as reported		$	82,799		$	76,726
	Cash flows provided by operating activities, as revised		$	93,966		$	87,893
	Cash flows used in investing activities, as reported		$	(227,310	)	$	(260,297	)
	Cash flows used in investing activities, as revised		$	(238,477	)	$	(271,464	)
	Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries
	Cash flows provided by operating activities, as reported		$	71,502		$	70,093
	Cash flows provided by operating activities, as revised		$	82,669		$	81,260
	Cash flows used in investing activities, as reported		$	(207,972	)	$	(233,256	)
	Cash flows used in investing activities, as revised		$	(219,139	)	$	(244,423	)
	The Company concluded that the corrections are not material to any of its previously issued consolidated financial statements based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors performed in accordance with the guidance provided in Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality.” The error and revisions do not affect the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Losses, Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity, Supplemental Consolidating Balance Sheet, Supplemental Consolidating Statement of Operations, Supplemental Consolidating Statement of Comprehensive Loss or cash balances for any reporting periods. Additionally, the revisions do not affect the Company’s compliance with any financial covenants.
	Reclassifications — Certain prior period amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no effect on previously reported total assets and total liabilities, net loss or stockholders’ equity. The results of operations of the real estate properties that are classified as held for sale, along with properties sold during the period, are reflected in discontinued operations for all periods presented.
	Adopted Accounting Pronouncements — In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-10, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (Topic 815).” This ASU permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to U.S. government and the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR). This ASU is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI).” This update clarified the guidance in subtopic 220 and requires preparers to report, in one place, information about reclassifications out of AOCI. The ASU also requires companies to report changes in AOCI balances. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted this ASU. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
	In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350).” This ASU provides an entity with the option to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired and to determine whether it should perform a quantitative impairment test. This ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
	In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (Topic 210).” This ASU also serves to amend the disclosure requirements in FASB ASU 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” This ASU will require companies to provide both net amounts (those that are offset) and gross information (as if amounts are not offset) in notes to the financial statements. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, that clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirement within the scope of ASU 2011-11. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures. See Footnote 9. “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” for additional information.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions	'
	3	Acquisitions:
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company acquired three senior housing properties and one attractions property for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $83.5 million, net of the present value of entrance fee liabilities assumed on one of the senior housing properties of approximately $13.8 million. In addition, the Company recorded approximately $2.7 million in bargain purchase gain relating to the aforementioned attractions property as a result of the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeding the consideration transferred. The excess resulted from the fact that the seller did not widely market the property for sale and was motivated to sell because the property was deemed an outlier from the other investments owned by the seller. The properties are subject to long-term triple-net leases with an initial term of ten to 20 years with renewal options. These acquisitions are not considered material to the Company as such no pro forma information has been included.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company acquired eight senior housing properties and one attractions property for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $168.7 million. The revenues and net operating income (loss) attributable to the properties included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations were approximately $8.0 million and $(0.2) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and $11.1 million and $(1.1) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The following table presents the unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company as if each of the properties were acquired as of January 1, 2012 and owned during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 (in thousands, except per share data):

	As of December 31, 2012, the Company classified four of its properties as assets held for sale. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company classified one additional lifestyle property as assets held for sale. In June 2013, the Company decided that it was no longer going to actively pursue its development plan at one of its unimproved land parcels and began exploring different options including the sale of some or all of the land. Due to the change in plans, the Company evaluated the carrying value of the unimproved land and, based on comparable land sale transactions, determined that the carrying value was not recoverable. As such, in June 2013, the Company recorded an impairment provision of approximately $42.5 million to write down the book value to the estimate sales price less costs to sell and classified it as asset held for sale.
	In September 2013, the Company decided to sell two additional attractions properties and classified them as assets held for sale. Due to this decision, the Company evaluated the carrying value of the properties for impairment and determined that the carrying value on one of the properties was not recoverable based on a potential third-party sale price. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment provision of approximately $2.7 million which is included in discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company completed the sale of three properties which were classified as assets held for sale and received aggregate sales proceeds of approximately $11.0 million, net of transaction costs and recorded an aggregate gain of approximately $2.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company completed the sale of three properties for an aggregate sales price of approximately $1.5 million and recorded an aggregate gain of approximately $0.3 million.
	As of September 30, 2013, the Company classified a total of five properties as assets held for sale which consists of the following (in thousands):

Variable Interest and Unconsolidated Entities	'
	6	Variable Interest and Unconsolidated Entities:
	Consolidated VIEs — As of December 31, 2012, the Company had five wholly-owned subsidiaries, designed as single property entities to own and lease their respective properties to single tenant operators, which are VIEs due to potential future buy-out options held by the respective tenants. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, one of the five VIEs sold its property and the Company classified an additional newly wholly-owned subsidiary as a VIE due to a potential future buy-out option originated in connection with its recent acquisition of one of the senior housing properties. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has five VIEs with buy-out options, of which three tenants can exercise but have not elected to do so. The remaining two tenants’ buy-out options will be exercisable in 2014 and 2018. One of the buy-out options expires in May 2015 and the remaining four expire in July 2023 and March 2030. In addition, two other entities that hold the properties in which service providers have a significant variable interest were also determined to be VIEs. The Company determined it is the primary beneficiary and holds a controlling financial interest in each of these entities due to the Company’s power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities, as well as its obligation to absorb the losses and its right to receive benefits from these entities that could potentially be significant to these entities. As such, the transactions and accounts of these VIEs are included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Other than the sale of one property and the acquisition of another that are considered VIEs at September 30, 2013, the Company had no change to its five wholly-owned subsidiaries that were deemed to be VIEs and no impact to its primary beneficiary position.
	The aggregate carrying amount and major classifications of the consolidated assets that can be used to settle obligations of the VIEs and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs that are non-recourse to the Company are as follows (in thousands):
			September 30,			December 31,
			2013			2012
	Assets
	Real estate investment properties, net		$	210,524		$	207,516
	Other assets		$	28,013		$	39,618
	Liabilities
	Mortgages and other notes payable		$	78,077		$	80,481
	Other liabilities		$	15,971		$	15,806
	The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these VIEs is limited to its net investment in these entities, which totaled approximately $144.5 million and $150.8 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company’s exposure is limited because of the non-recourse nature of the borrowings of the VIEs.
	Unconsolidated Entities — As of December 31, 2012, the Company held ownership in five ventures, the DMC Partnership, the Intrawest Venture, the CNLSun I Venture, the CNLSun II Venture and the CNLSun III Venture. In July 2013, the Company completed the sale of its interest in 42 senior housing properties held through the CNLSun I, CNLSun II and CNLSun III ventures as a result of Sunrise Living Investments, Inc. (“Sunrise”), the Company’s venture partner, exercising its purchase option in the aforementioned ventures. In connection with the transaction, the Company received aggregate sales proceeds of approximately $195.4 million, net of transaction costs and recorded aggregate gains of approximately $55.4 million. The carrying amounts of the investments relating to the CNLSun I, CNLSun II and CNLSun III ventures were understated prior to disposition as a result of acquisition fees and costs that were incorrectly expensed in prior years. This resulted in an out of period impact that increased the gain on sale in the third quarter of 2013 by approximately $1.9 million. As of September 30, 2013, the Company holds ownership in two unconsolidated ventures. Of these, the Intrawest Venture was deemed a VIE in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. While several significant decisions are shared between the Company and its joint venture partner in the Intrawest Joint Venture, the Company does not direct the activities that most significantly impact the venture’s performance and has not consolidated the activities of the venture. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its interest in the Intrawest Venture is limited to the carrying amount of its investment in the venture, which totaled approximately $25.9 million and $23.5 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. In December 2012, the Intrawest Venture decided to market for sale its seven destination retail properties to third–party buyers.
	The Intrawest Venture is working with the Canada Revenue Authority to resolve an assessment related to one of its entities and believes it is more likely than not that it will receive a favorable resolution to the audit. The Company’s maximum exposure relating to this matter is $5.7 million.

FOOTNOTES:
(1)	Income is allocated between the Company and its venture partners using the hypothetical liquidation book value (“HLBV”) method of accounting.
(2)	Includes approximately $1.8 million and $2.5 million in distributions representing our respective preferred return on the CNLSun II and CNLSun III ventures, respectively, in accordance with the venture agreements and approximately $1.5 million and $1.9 million in return of capital on the CNLSun II and CNLSun III ventures, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
(3)	This amount represents the venture partner’s portion of interest expense on a loan which the partners made to the venture. These amounts are treated as distributions for the purposes of the HLBV calculation.
(4)	In connection with the planned sale of its properties, the venture reclassified and included the results of operations from its seven properties as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
(5)	On July 1, 2013, the Company completed the sale of its interest in 42 senior housing properties held through CNLSun I Venture, CNLSun II Venture and CNLSun III Venture as discussed above. As such, summarized operating data for those ventures is reported through June 30, 2013.
(6)	During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the DMC Partnership incurred approximately $2.3 million in acquisition costs relating to a potential acquisition that was ultimately not pursued.
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s share of partners’ capital determined under HLBV was approximately $125.4 million and $265.3 million, respectively, and the total difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the Company’s share of partners’ capital determined under HLBV was approximately $7.7 million and $22.0 million, respectively.

Mortgages and Other Notes Receivable	'
	7	Mortgages and Other Notes Receivable:
	The Company evaluates impairment on its mortgages and other notes receivable on an individual loan basis which includes, current information and events, periodic visits and quarterly discussions on the financial results of the properties being collateralized and the financial stability of the borrowers who are also tenants or third-party managers for certain properties in the Company’s real estate portfolio. The Company reviews each loan to determine the risk of loss and whether the individual loan is impaired and whether an allowance is necessary. The credit quality of the Company’s borrowers is primarily based on their payment history on an individual loan basis, and, as such, the Company does not assign its mortgages and other note receivable in credit quality categories. The estimated fair market value of the Company’s mortgages and other notes receivable was approximately $115.5 million and $119.3 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, based on discounted cash flows for each individual instrument based on market interest rates as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Because this methodology includes inputs that are not observable by the public and are not necessarily reflected in active markets, the measurement of the estimated fair values related to the Company’s mortgage and other notes receivable is categorized as Level 3 on the three-level valuation hierarchy. The estimated fair value of accounts and other receivables approximates the carrying value as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 because of the relatively short maturities of the obligations.

	8	Indebtedness:
	In July 2013, the Company’s revolving line of credit was repaid in full with the proceeds from the sale of its interest in three unconsolidated senior housing joint ventures. See “Variable Interest and Unconsolidated Entities” for additional information. In addition, the Company’s borrowing capacity in its revolving line of credit was reduced from $125.0 million to approximately $119.7 million as a result of the operator transition relating to three marina properties.
	The estimated fair values of mortgages and other notes payable and the line of credit were approximately $677.0 million and $742.9 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, based on rates and spreads the Company would expect to obtain for similar borrowings with similar loan terms. Because this methodology includes inputs that are less observable by the public and are not necessarily reflected in active markets, the measurement of the estimated fair values related to the Company’s mortgage notes payable is categorized as Level 3 on the three-level valuation hierarchy. The estimated fair values of the Company’s senior notes was approximately $408.4 million and $385.6 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 respectively, based on prices traded for similar or identical instruments in active or inactive markets and is categorized as level 2 on the three-level valuation hierarchy. The estimated fair value of accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates the carrying value as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 because of the relatively short maturities of the obligations.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	'
	9	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities:
	The Company utilizes derivative instruments to offset partially the effect of fluctuating interest rates on the cash flows associated with its variable-rate debt. The Company follows established risk management policies and procedures in its use of derivatives and does not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company records all derivative instruments on its balance sheet at fair value. On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, the derivative is designated as a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction. The effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recognized in the statements of operations in the periods in which earnings are impacted by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reflected in interest expense in the statements of operations.
	As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had five interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest payments from their inception with maturity dates between December 2015 through September 2019. The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments is included in other liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

	FOOTNOTE:
	-1	The Company swapped the interest rate on its $20.0 million loan denominated in Canadian dollars to a fixed interest rate of 6.4%. The notional amount has been converted from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of 0.970 and 1.00 Canadian dollars for $1.00 U.S. dollar on September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
	As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s hedges qualified as highly effective and, accordingly, all of the change in value is reflected in other comprehensive income (loss). Determining fair value and testing effectiveness of these financial instruments requires management to make certain estimates and judgments. Changes in assumptions could have a positive or negative impact on the estimated fair values and measured effectiveness of such instruments could, in turn, impact the Company’s results of operations.

Fair Value Measurements	'
	10	Fair Value Measurements:
	The Company had five investment properties that were classified as assets held for sale and were carried at fair value as of September 30, 2013. The Level 3 unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of the real estate properties include, but are not limited to, comparable sales transactions and other information from brokers and potential buyers, as applicable.
	The Company’s derivative instruments are valued primarily based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, volatilities, and credit risks) and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of derivative instruments also includes a credit value adjustment which is a Level 3 input. However, the impact of the assumption is not significant to its overall valuation calculation, and therefore the Company considers its derivative instruments to be classified as Level 2. The fair value of such instruments is included in other liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
	The Company is making an accounting policy election to use the exception in ASC 820-10-35-18D with respect to measuring fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities entered into with a particular counterparty, where the Company reports the net exposure to the credit risk of that counterparty.
	The following tables show the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, as follows (in thousands):

Pursuant to the advisory agreement, the Company will not reimburse the Advisor for any amount by which total operating expenses paid or incurred by the Company exceed the greater of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income (the “Expense Cap”) in any expense year, as defined in the advisory agreement. For the expense year ended September 30, 2013, operating expenses did not exceed the Expense Cap.
	The Company also maintains accounts at a bank in which the Company’s chairman serves as a director. The Company had deposits at that bank of approximately $8.6 million and $5.5 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies	'
	14	Commitments and Contingencies:
	A purported class action lawsuit on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares under the Company’s DRP on or after April 1, 2010, Allyn v. CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. et al., was filed on January 18, 2013 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against the Company and certain of its current and former directors. The lawsuit alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty against the directors and constructive trust and unjust enrichment against the Company. The factual assertions in the complaint consist primarily of the allegation that the price for shares purchased under the DRP was inflated. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages and other relief relating to the purported inflation. The Company intends to defend vigorously against such claims and is not able to determine the ultimate outcome at this time. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on May 1, 2013, which is awaiting the court’s decision.
	From time to time, the Company may be exposed to litigation arising from operations of its business in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of any litigation that it believes will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation	'
	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. Amounts as of December 31, 2012 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts, the accounts of wholly owned subsidiaries or subsidiaries for which the Company has a controlling interest, the accounts of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary, and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	In accordance with the guidance for the consolidation of VIEs, the Company analyzes its variable interests, including loans, leases, guarantees, and equity investments, to determine if the entity in which it has a variable interest is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company’s analysis includes both quantitative and qualitative reviews. The Company bases its quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flows of the entity, and its qualitative analysis on its review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and financial agreements. The Company also uses its quantitative and qualitative analyses to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and if such determination is made, it includes the accounts of the VIE in its consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. For example, significant estimates and assumptions are made in connection with the allocation of purchase price and the analysis of real estate, equity method investments and impairments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revision to Previously Issued Financial Statements	'
	Revision to Previously Issued Financial Statements — In connection with the preparation of its financial statements, the Company determined that the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and for the year ended December 31, 2012 contained an error in the presentation of a deposit escrowed as additional collateral to one of the Company’s loans, entered into by a non-guarantor subsidiary during the three months ended September 30, 2012, in the amount of approximately $11.2 million. Accordingly, the Company revised the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Supplemental Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as reported herein, and will revise the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Supplemental Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 as follows (in thousands):
	CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc.	Nine Months			Year Ended
		Ended			December 31,
		September 30,			2012
		2012
	Cash flows provided by operating activities, as reported	$	82,799		$	76,726
	Cash flows provided by operating activities, as revised	$	93,966		$	87,893
	Cash flows used in investing activities, as reported	$	(227,310	)	$	(260,297	)
	Cash flows used in investing activities, as revised	$	(238,477	)	$	(271,464	)
	Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries
	Cash flows provided by operating activities, as reported	$	71,502		$	70,093
	Cash flows provided by operating activities, as revised	$	82,669		$	81,260
	Cash flows used in investing activities, as reported	$	(207,972	)	$	(233,256	)
	Cash flows used in investing activities, as revised	$	(219,139	)	$	(244,423	)
	The Company concluded that the corrections are not material to any of its previously issued consolidated financial statements based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors performed in accordance with the guidance provided in Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality.” The error and revisions do not affect the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Losses, Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity, Supplemental Consolidating Balance Sheet, Supplemental Consolidating Statement of Operations, Supplemental Consolidating Statement of Comprehensive Loss or cash balances for any reporting periods. Additionally, the revisions do not affect the Company’s compliance with any financial covenants.
Reclassifications	'
	Reclassifications — Certain prior period amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no effect on previously reported total assets and total liabilities, net loss or stockholders’ equity. The results of operations of the real estate properties that are classified as held for sale, along with properties sold during the period, are reflected in discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Adopted Accounting Pronouncements — In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-10, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (Topic 815).” This ASU permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to U.S. government and the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR). This ASU is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI).” This update clarified the guidance in subtopic 220 and requires preparers to report, in one place, information about reclassifications out of AOCI. The ASU also requires companies to report changes in AOCI balances. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted this ASU. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
	In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350).” This ASU provides an entity with the option to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired and to determine whether it should perform a quantitative impairment test. This ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
	In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (Topic 210).” This ASU also serves to amend the disclosure requirements in FASB ASU 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” This ASU will require companies to provide both net amounts (those that are offset) and gross information (as if amounts are not offset) in notes to the financial statements. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, that clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirement within the scope of ASU 2011-11. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures. See Footnote 9. “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” for additional information.
