Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Business Activities
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ILX Resorts Incorporated, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“ILX” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and reclassifications considered necessary for a fair and comparable presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s mo st recent audited financial statements.
The Company’s significant business activities include developing, operating, marketing and financing ownership interests (“Vacation Ownership Interests”) in resort properties located in Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Nevada and Mexico.
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 152, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions (“SFAS No. 152”). SFAS No. 152 amends SFAS No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions. SFAS No. 152 also amends SFAS No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects. SFAS No. 152 provides guidance on revenue recognition for timeshare transactions, evaluation of uncollectible notes receivable and accounting for the costs of Vacation Ownership Interest sales. Restatement of previously issued financial statements is not permitted. Accordingly, as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 152, the Company’s financial statements for periods begi nning on or after January 1, 2006 are not comparable, in all respects, with those presented for prior periods.
Revenue from sales of Vacation Ownership Interests is recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 152, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions (“SFAS 152”). No sales are recognized until such time as a minimum of 10% of the purchase price and any incentives given at the time of sale has been received in cash, the statutory rescission period has expired, the buyer is committed to continued payments of the remaining purchase price and the Company has been released of all future obligations for the Vacation Ownership Interest. Resort operating revenue represents daily room rentals (inclusive of homeowner’s dues) and revenues from food and other resort services. Such revenues are recorded as the rooms are rented or the services are performed.

Stock Based Compensation
The Company previously applied APB Opinion 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for its Stock Option Plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for stock options granted under the Plans prior to January 1, 2006. Had compensation cost for the Plans been determined and amortized based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the Plans consistent with the alternative method of SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company’s net income and income per share would have decreased to the proforma amount indicated below. The Company will apply SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),Share Based Payment, to any future grants under its Stock Option Plans. All options outstanding were fully vested at December 31, 2005. No options were granted for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Stock options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at a price of $9.90 per share were outstanding at September 30, 2005 and 2006, but were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of common shares. These options expire in 2009.
Note 3. Shareholders’ Equity
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company issued 40,500 shares of common stock, valued at $270,228 to employees under the Stock Bonus Plan. Of the 40,500 shares, 32,000 shares are contingent upon the recipients being employed by the Company on January 15, 2009. The $264,480 deferred expense is being amortized pro-rata over the vesting period and the unrecognized portion is in deferred compensation on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Deferred compensation of $30,800, representing 4,000 shares issued in 2005, was reversed in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 due to the termination of a Stock Bonus Plan participant. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company purchased 70,807 shares of its common stock for $702,937.

Legal Proceedings
In October 2005, The Greens of Las Vegas, Inc. (“GOLV”) filed suit against the Company, VCA Nevada Incorporated (“VCA-NV”), GWWI and all of the directors of GWWI from 2003 to the present. GOLV alleges that the Company interfered with prospective advantage between GOLV and third parties, interfered with contracts between GOLV and VCA-NV, fraud, unjust enrichment and civil conspiracy. All Defendants answered the Complaint on March 16, 2006 and asserted various counterclaims. Discovery commenced in October 2006.

Other
In April 2005, VCA-NV sold its leasehold interest in a 44-acre real estate parcel in Las Vegas, Nevada to Streets Las Vegas, L.L.C. (“the purchaser” or “Streets”). ILX continued to act as a Guarantor of the Lease on obligations owed to Clark County as Landlord until such time as the purchaser had received all consents and executed documents necessary for the Company to no longer be a Guarantor but no later than December 31, 2005. This date was extended by mutual agreement until May 31, 2006. One member of the purchaser subsequently received a promissory note, in the amount of $9,350,000, relative to the sale of its membership interest in Streets. The member has agreed to indemnify the Company as it relates to the Guarantee of the Lease. As additional security for the performance of the indemnification, the member has assigned and granted ILX a security interest in the member’s rights a nd interests in and to the Note. The purchaser is currently negotiating a new lease for the property and the Company will not be included as a guarantor on the lease. The Company does not believe its obligations under the guaranty are material. In June 2005 Clark County gave and recorded its consent to the Assignment and Assumption of the Lease.

Overview
ILX Resorts Incorporated (“ILX” or the “Company”) is one of the leading developers, marketers and operators of timeshare resorts in the western United States and Mexico. The Company’s principal operations consist of (i) acquiring, developing and operating timeshare resorts, marketed by the Company as vacation ownership resorts, (ii) marketing and selling vacation ownership interests in the timeshare resorts, which typically have entitled the buyers thereof to ownership of a fully-furnished unit for a one-week period on either an annual or an alternate year (i.e., biennial) basis (“Vacation Ownership Interests”), and (iii) providing purchase money financing to the buyers of Vacation Ownership Interests at its resorts. In addition, the Company receives revenues from the rental of its unused or unsold inventory of units at its vacation ownership resorts, and from the sale of food, beverages and o ther services at such resorts. The Company’s current portfolio of resorts consists of eight resorts in Arizona, one in Indiana (currently under expansion), one in Colorado, one in San Carlos, Mexico, land in Puerto Penãsco (Rocky Point), Mexico and land in Sedona, Arizona (collectively, the “ILX Resorts”). One of the resorts in Arizona is not at this time registered with the Arizona Department of Real Estate nor is being marketed for sale as Vacation Ownership Interests, and is operated under a long-term lease arrangement. The Company also owns 2,018 Vacation Ownership Interests in a resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, 1,898 of which have been annexed into Premiere Vacation Club, 191 Vacation Ownership Interests in a resort in Pinetop, Arizona all of which have been annexed into Premiere Vacation Club and 158 Vacation Ownership Interests in a resort in Phoenix, Arizona, 153 of which have been annexed into Premiere Vacation Club.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
The Company’s significant business activities include developing, operating, marketing and financing ownership interests (“Vacation Ownership Interests”) in resort properties located in Arizona, Colorado, Indiana and Mexico.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from sales of Vacation Ownership Interests is recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 152, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions (“SFAS 152”). No sales are recognized until such time as a minimum of 10% of the purchase price and any incentives given at the time of sale has been received in cash, the statutory rescission period has expired, the buyer is committed to continued payments of the remaining purchase price and the Company has been released of all future obligations for the Vacation Ownership Interest. Resort operating revenue represents daily room rentals (inclusive of homeowner’s dues) and revenues from food and other resort services. Such revenues are recorded as the rooms are rented or the services are performed.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities and related interpretations. SFAS 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation and clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to recognition as liabilities. SFAS 155 eliminates the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another deriv ative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for the Company for all financial instruments acquired or issued beginning January 1, 2007. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS 156). SFAS 156 amends SFAS No. 140 and requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset. It also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 permits an entity to use either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principals, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2008. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which changes occur. SFAS 158 is effective for the Company as of the year ending December 31, 2006. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006
Sales of Vacation Ownership Interests decreased 8.7% or $745,024 to $7,791,003 for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2006, from $8,536,027 for the same period in 2005 and decreased 5.6% or $1,404,080 to $23,691,118 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $25,095,198 for the same period in 2005. The Company was required to adopt SFAS No. 152 in the first quarter 2006. Sales of Vacation Ownership Interest revenue is now decreased by estimated and actual uncollectible revenue of $360,205 and $1,083,278 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, in accordance with SFAS No. 152. Previously, provisions for doubtful accounts were recognized as expenses, rather than revenue reductions. Prior years will continue to be presented in that manner. Had the Company not been required to implement the new accounting standard, revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 would have been $8,151,208 and $24,774,396, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2006 reflects lower revenue from the Tucson sales office due to the closure of full-time operation in July 2006. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 reflects primarily a decrease caused by the closure of the Las Vegas sales office in June 2005 and the closure of full-time operation of the Tucson sales office discussed above, offset by increased sales from the Sedona, Rancho Mañana and San Carlos sales offices due to increased tours at all three locations and higher closing rates at the Rancho Mañana and San Carlos offices. The Company withdrew from the Las Vegas market following the sale of its leasehold interest in a 44-acre parcel of land in Las Vegas.
The average sales price per Vacation Ownership Interest sold (excluding revenues from Upgrades) decreased 4.9% or $856 in 2006 to $16,469 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $17,325 for the same period in 2005 and increased 1.8% or $291 to $16,770 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $16,479 for the same period in 2005. The decrease in average sales price for the three months ended September 30, 2006 is primarily due to a change in product mix sold. In the third quarter of 2006, there was a decrease in the percentage of sales of biennial interests, which are priced at average premiums of 35% more than 50% of the price of the same annual interest. The increase in the average sales price for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, is due to the closure of the Las Vegas sales office in June 2005. This office had lower average sales prices than all other offices so while the closure resulte d in decreased revenue, it also increased the average sales price. The number of Vacation Ownership Interests sold decreased 1.0% from 387 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 to 384 for the same period in 2006 and decreased 2.8% from 1,213 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to 1,179 for the same period in 2006. The decrease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 is due to the closure of the Las Vegas sales office and closure of full-time operation of the Tucson sales office, offset by increases at the Sedona, Rancho Mañana and San Carlos sales offices. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 included 424 and 1,344 biennial Vacation Ownership Interests (counted as 212 and 672 annual Vacation Ownership Interests) compared to 490 and 1,481 biennial Vacation Ownership Interests (counted as 245 and 740.5 annual Vacation Ownership Interests) in the same period in 2005.
Upgrade revenue, included in Vacation Ownership Interest sales, decreased 0.5% to $1,549,281 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $1,556,367 for the same period in 2005 and decreased 3.2% to $4,085,002 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $4,220,747 for the same period in 2005. The decrease in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 reflects a reduction in marketing efforts to existing owners at the VCA-Tucson sales office. The average sales price per Vacation Ownership Interest sold (including Upgrades) decreased 3.9% or $843 to $20,504 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $21,347 in 2005 and increased 1.4% or $275 to $20,235 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $19,960 for the same period in 2005. The decrease in average sales price for the three months ended September 30, 2006 is due to the closure of full-time operation of the Tucson sales office which h ad significant upgrade activity in 2005 discussed above. The average sales price increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is due to the increase in average sales price per Vacation Ownership Interest sold (excluding Upgrades). Upgrades often do not involve the sale of additional Vacation Ownership Interests (merely their exchange) and, therefore, such Upgrades increase the average sales price per Vacation Ownership Interest sold.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
Resort operating revenue decreased 2.6% or $130,021 to $4,934,308 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, and increased 3.6% or $494,261 to $14,402,310 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2006 is due to a decrease of available rooms resulting from renovations in Sedona. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 reflects increased occupancy at the Company’s Arizona resorts due in part to the inclement weather in January and February 2005. Cost of resort operations as a percentage of resort operating revenue increased from 84.1% to 91.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 and increased from 87.3% to 91.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 due to startup costs for Premiere Vacation Club at the Roundhouse Resort, the write-off of obsolete retail goods and because a recovery related to storm damag e reduced expenses in first quarter 2005.
Interest and finance income decreased 30.0% to $997,236 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $1,423,549 for the same period in 2005 and decreased 10.8% to $3,051,426 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $3,422,044 for the same period in 2005 reflecting a decrease in the interest spread on sold notes, decreased Customer Note balances due to reduced sales and a reduction in notes sold.
Cost of Vacation Ownership Interests sold as a percentage of Vacation Ownership Interest sales decreased from 15.1% and 14.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 to 12.8% and 11.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, reflecting adjustments made as the result of adopting SFAS No. 152 and increases in bottom line sales prices.
Sales and marketing as a percentage of sales of Vacation Ownership Interests increased to 67.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 59.5% for the same period in 2005 and increased to 66.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 62.4% for the same period in 2005. As explained above, SFAS No. 152 requires estimated and actual uncollectible revenue be offset against sales of Vacation Ownership Interests. Had the Company not been required to implement SFAS No. 152, sales and marketing as a percentage of sales of Vacation Ownership Interests would have been 64.2% and 63.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 is due a decrease, despite increased revenues, in performance at the Rancho Mañana sales office due to higher costs per tour and start-up costs related to the reopening of the VCA South Bend sales office in the third quarter 2006.
The provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of Vacation Ownership Interest sales was 4.4% of sales of Vacation Ownership Interests in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. SFAS No. 152 now requires the estimated and actual uncollectible revenue be deducted from revenue instead of being classified as an expense.
General and administrative expenses increased to 11.4% of total revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006, from 8.8% for the same period in 2005 and decreased to 10.5% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 10.9% for the same period in 2005. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2006 is due to increased expense for amortization of compensation deferred under the Stock Bonus Plan. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is due to increased contributions in 2005 to the Company’s profit sharing and employee stock ownership plans, as well as increased charitable contributions following the sale of its leasehold interest in a 44-acre real estate parcel in Las Vegas.
Income from land and other, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes a net gain of $699,015 on the sale of 402,142 shares of GWWI common stock. Income from land and other, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 included a net gain of $7,755,733 on the sale of VCA-NV’s leasehold interest in a 44-acre parcel of land located proximate to the Las Vegas airport, UNLV and the “Strip” in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 50-year leasehold interest with Clark County was originally acquired in July 2001 and was sold to Streets for $18,000,000 in April 2005. At the April closing, the Company received $14,612,031 in cash which represented the $18,000,000 sales price plus $10,480 reimbursement for property taxes less $3,382,799 for payment in full of the note payable and accrued interest secured by the leasehold interest and $15,650 in closing costs.

The Company generates cash primarily from the sale of Vacation Ownership Interests (including Upgrades), from the financing of Customer Notes from such sales and from resort operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, cash provided by operations was $4,027,691 as compared to cash used in operations of $1,808,772 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in cash provided by operations reflects a net decrease in resort property under development and resort property held for Vacation Ownership Interest sales due to greater additions in 2005 for the construction of Premiere Vacation Club at the Roundhouse Resort which was completed in early 2006, a decrease in notes receivable due to the repayment of a note receivable held by the Company’s subsidiary, Genesis Investment Group, Inc., a gain on the sale of common stock held by the Company, a gain on the sale of a portion of the Company’s partn ership interest in ILX-Bruno, and a gain on the sale of property and equipment due to the sale of the leasehold interest in Las Vegas, which was deducted from cash flows from operations in 2005. These increases in cash are offset by a decrease in net income and the resultant income tax expense, a decrease in other assets due to lower prepaid income taxes in 2006, a decrease in accrued and other liabilities resulting from a decrease in accrued lawsuit settlement fees and timing differences of amounts payable to the homeowners’ associations.
For regular federal income tax purposes, the Company reports substantially all of its non-factored financed Vacation Ownership Interest sales under the installment method. Under the installment method, the Company recognizes income on sales of Vacation Ownership Interests only when cash is received by the Company in the form of a down payment, as an installment payment, or from proceeds from the sale of the Customer Note. The deferral of income tax liability conserves cash resources on a current basis. Interest may be imposed, however, on the amount of tax attributable to the installment payments for the period beginning on the date of sale and ending on the date the related tax is paid. If the Company is otherwise not subject to tax in a particular year, no interest is imposed since the interest is based on the amount of tax paid in that year. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain an accrual for any interest expense that would be paid on the deferred taxes related to the installment method, as the interest expense is not estimable.
At December 31, 2005, the Company, excluding its Genesis subsidiary, had no NOL carryforwards. At December 31, 2005, Genesis had federal NOL carryforwards of approximately $630,000, which are limited as to usage because they arise from built in losses of an acquired company. In addition, such losses can only be utilized through the earnings of Genesis and are limited to a maximum of $189,000 per year. To the extent the entire $189,000 is not utilized in a given year, the difference may be carried forward to future years. Any unused Genesis NOLs will expire in 2008.
In addition, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes additional limitations on the utilization of NOLs by a corporation following various types of ownership changes, which result in more than a 50% change in ownership of a corporation within a three-year period. Such changes may result from new common stock issuances by the Company or changes occurring as a result of filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Schedules 13D and 13G by holders of more than 5% of the common stock, whether involving

the acquisition or disposition of common stock. If such a subsequent change occurs, the limitations of Section 382 would apply and may limit or deny the future utilization of the NOL by the Company, which could result in the Company paying additional federal and state taxes.
Uses of Cash
Investing activities typically reflect a net use of cash because of capital additions, however the sale of the Las Vegas leasehold interest resulted in net cash provided by investing activities of $17,281,956 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Net cash used in investing activities was $2,093,330 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Net cash used in investing activities in 2006 includes capital expenditures for projects in Sedona, net of the proceeds from the sale of Greens Worldwide Incorporated common stock of $719,015 and proceeds from the sale of ILX-Bruno partnership interests of $700,000.
Net cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 was $11,813,926 and $873,686, respectively. Principal payments on notes payable were higher in 2005 because in conjunction with the sale of the Las Vegas leasehold interest, the note payable secured by the leasehold interest was paid in full and proceeds from the sale were also used to pay down existing notes payable. In 2005, cash used in financing activities was offset by the initial contribution of $1,050,000 from the minority interest holder of ILX- Bruno and in 2006, the same interest holder contributed an additional $900,000 in working capital contributions.
The Company requires funds to finance the acquisitions of property for future resort development and to further develop the existing resorts, as well as to make capital improvements and support current operations.
Customer defaults have a significant impact on cash available to the Company from financing Customer Notes receivable in that notes which are more than 60 to 90 days past due are not eligible as collateral. As a result, the Company in effect must repay borrowings against such notes or buy back such notes if they were sold with recourse.
Credit Facilities and Capital
At September 30, 2006, the Company had an agreement with a financial institution for a commitment of $30 million, under which the Company may sell certain of its Customer Notes. The agreement provides for sales on a recourse basis with a purchase rate of prime plus 2.75%. Customer Notes may be sold at discounts or premiums to the principal amount in order to yield the purchase rate, with the premium held back by the financial institution as additional collateral. At September 30, 2006, $19.9 million of such commitment was available to the Company.
The Company also has a financing commitment aggregating $30 million whereby the Company may borrow against notes receivable pledged as collateral. These borrowings bear interest at a rate of prime plus 1.5%. The $30 million commitment was amended in February 2006 and, under the amended agreement, the borrowing period expires in 2007 and the maturity is in 2012. At September 30, 2006, approximately $13.2 million was available under this commitment.
At September 30, 2005 and 2006, the Company had approximately $14.1 million and $12.7 million, respectively, in outstanding notes receivable sold on a recourse basis. Portions of the notes receivable are secured by deeds of trust on Los Abrigados Resort & Spa, VCA–South Bend and VCA–Tucson.
In August 2006, the Company amended an existing line of credit to increase the borrowing limit to $1.5 million and extend the maturity to May 2007.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
In September 2006, the Company borrowed an additional $2.0 million on the existing note payable on VCA-South Bend to finance expansion. The note was amended to provide for the increased borrowing, to extend the maturity to 2014 and to reduce the interest rate to the greater of 5% or prime + 0.75%.
In the first nine months of 2006, the Company purchased 70,807 treasury shares for a cost of $702,937.
In the future, the Company may negotiate additional credit facilities, issue corporate debt, issue equity securities, or any combination of the above. Any debt incurred or issued by the Company may be secured or unsecured, may bear interest at fixed or variable rates of interest, and may be subject to such terms as management deems prudent. While the Company believes it maintains excellent relationships with its lenders and will seek renewal or replacement of existing lines upon their maturity, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional corporate debt or equity at or beyond current levels or that the Company will be able to maintain its current level of debt. The Company may negotiate with additional lenders to supplement its existing credit facilities.
The Company believes available borrowing capacity, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet the Company’s liquidity, operating and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.
Contractual Cash Obligations and Commercial Commitments
The following table presents the Company’s contractual cash obligations and commercial commitments as of September 30, 2006. The Company also sells consumer notes with recourse. The Company has no other significant contractual obligations or commercial commitments either on or off balance sheet as of this date.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Payments Due by Period |
Contractual Cash Obligations | | Total | | < 1 Year | | 1-3 Years | | 4-5 Years | | > 5 Years |
Long-term Debt | | $38,126,000 | | $ 5,235,000 | | $ 11,806,000 | | $11,601,000 | | $ 9,484,000 |
Operating Leases | | 17,293,000 | | 1,686,000 | | 3,143,000 | | 2,396,000 | | 10,068,000 |
Total | | $55,419,000 | | $ 6,921,000 | | $ 14,949,000 | | $13,997,000 | | $ 19,552,000 |
Seasonality
The Company’s revenues are moderately seasonal with the volume of ILX owners, hotel guests and Vacation Ownership Interest exchange participants typically greatest in the second and third fiscal quarters. Also impacting revenues are inclement weather, forest fires, gasoline prices and other unforeseen natural disasters. As the Company expands into new markets and geographic locations it may experience increased or additional seasonality dynamics which may cause the Company’s operating results to fluctuate.
Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material impact on the Company’s revenues, operating income and net income during any of the Company’s three most recent fiscal years or the nine months ended September 30, 2006. However, to the extent inflationary trends affect interest rates, a portion of the Company’s debt service costs may be affected as well as the rates the Company charges on its Customer Notes.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company currently derives a portion of income from the spread between the interest rates charged to customers and the interest rates at which it borrows against customer notes or at which it sells customer notes. The Company’s indebtedness bears interest at variable rates while the retained customer notes bear interest at

(CONTINUED)
fixed rates. As a result, increases in interest rates could cause interest expense to exceed interest income on the Company’s portfolio of retained customer notes. The Company does not currently engage in interest rate hedging transactions. Therefore, any change in the prime interest rate could have a material effect on results of operations, liquidity and financial position. If there were a one-percentage point change in the prevailing prime rate at September 30, 2006, then based on the $21.7 million balance of variable rate debt at September 30, 2006, interest expense would increase or decrease by approximately $217,000 (before income taxes) per annum.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Part II
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
In October 2005, GOLV filed suit against the Company, VCA-NV, GWWI and all of the directors of GWWI from 2003 to the present. GOLV alleges that the Company interfered with prospective advantage between GOLV and third parties, interfered with contracts between GOLV and VCA-NV, fraud, unjust enrichment and civil conspiracy. All Defendants answered the Complaint on March 16, 2006 and asserted various counterclaims. Discovery commenced in October 2006.

The Company believes the allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the case.
Other litigation has arisen in the normal course of the Company’s business, none of which is deemed to be material.
