ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
ClubCorp, Inc.:
We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of ClubCorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (ClubCorp) as of March 19, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 and March 20, 2001. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of ClubCorp’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of ClubCorp as of December 25, 2001 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 22, 2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 25, 2001, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ClubCorp, Inc.
Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 1. Summary of significant accounting policies
Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of ClubCorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively ClubCorp). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Interim presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by ClubCorp and are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted from the accompanying statements. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto of ClubCorp for the year ended December 25, 2001 which are a part of ClubCorp’s Form 10-K.
In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments necessary (consisting of normal recurring accruals) to present fairly the consolidated financial position of ClubCorp as of March 19, 2002 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001 and March 19, 2002. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations and other factors such as timing of acquisitions and dispositions of facilities.
Recent Pronouncements
Effective December 26, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The adoption of SFAS 142 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations as we have virtually no goodwill in our consolidated financial statements. Substantially all of our purchase price related to our acquisitions is allocated to property and equipment.
Effective December 26, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Disposal or Impairment of Long-Lived Assets”. SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS 121 and the reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 for the disposal of a business segment. The implementation of SFAS 144 had no effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations as we did not transfer any assets to held for sale and disposals were not material for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
Note 2. Derivative instruments
As of March 19, 2002, we had interest rate swap contracts to pay fixed rates of interest (ranging from 5.25% to 7.21%) and receive variable rates of interest based on LIBOR on an aggregate of $225.0 million notional amount of indebtedness with maturity dates ranging from June 2003 through September 2003. These hedges are highly effective, however, for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002, we recorded $27,000 as a reduction of interest expense for the ineffective portion of these instruments. The aggregate fair market value of all interest rate swap contracts was ($9,454,000) on March 19, 2002 and is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note 4. Income tax benefit
The income tax benefits for the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001 and March 19, 2002 differ from amounts computed by applying the U.S. Federal tax rate of 35% to loss from operations before income tax benefit primarily due to foreign and state income taxes, net of Federal benefit, and the effect of consolidated operations of foreign and other entities not consolidated for Federal income tax purposes.
Note 5. Weighted average shares
Loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 94,090,697 and 93,742,901 for basic loss per share calculations for the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001 and March 19, 2002, respectively. The potential common stock equivalents for the assumed conversion of options and warrants to purchase common stock of 1,070,195 shares for the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001 and 773,889 shares for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 are antidilutive due to the net losses for the quarters.

Note 8. Segment reporting
Our operations are organized into three principal business segments according to the type of facility or service provided: country club and golf facilities, business and sports clubs and resorts. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to monitor our performance and facilities. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA, an industry standard calculation of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on disposals and impairments of assets, adjusted for net membership deposits and fees, and a joint venture adjustment. Financial information for the segments is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
ClubCorp, Inc. (referred to as “ClubCorp®”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” throughout this document) is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware that, through its subsidiaries, owns, operates and/or manages country clubs, golf clubs, public golf courses, business clubs, business/sports clubs, sports clubs, resorts, and certain related real estate through sole ownership, partial ownership (including joint venture interests) and management agreements. Our primary sources of revenue include membership dues, membership fees and deposits, food and beverage operations, golf operations and lodging. We also receive management fees with respect to facilities that we manage for third parties.
Our predecessor corporation was organized in 1957 under the name Country Clubs, Inc. All historical references herein to us shall also include Country Clubs, Inc. and its successor corporations. For purposes of this document, unless the context indicates otherwise, these references to us also include our various subsidiaries. However, we and each of our subsidiaries are careful to maintain separate legal existence, and general references to us should not be interpreted to reduce the legal distinctions between subsidiaries or between us and our subsidiaries.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001 and March 19, 2002 should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2001, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Results of Operations
Twelve Weeks Ended March 20, 2001 Compared to Twelve Weeks Ended March 19, 2002
Consolidated Operations
Operating revenues decreased to $190.4 million for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 from $199.8 million for the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001. In addition to the impact of divestitures, this decrease is primarily due to decreased membership and lower usage of our properties by existing members and guests as a result of continued economic uncertainty and its effect on corporate and consumer spending. Additionally, we lowered average rates for greens fees and room nights in attempts to increase golf rounds at country club and golf facilities and maintain occupancy at resorts. We increased membership dues through price increases and the rollout of Signature Gold in the second quarter of 2001, which partially offset the decreases in our other revenue streams.
Excluding the impact of net gain (loss) on disposals and impairment of assets, operating loss increased to $11.6 million for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 from $9.9 million for the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001. This increase is due to the decline in revenues mentioned above, partially offset by decreased expenses. We have achieved cost savings in operations due to expense controls and savings realized through centralized procurement contracts negotiated by Avendra. Operating profit margins have declined due to decreases in volume and average rates for existing sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses have decreased due to cost cutting in our corporate and other administrative functions.
Net gains (losses) of $2.1 million and ($0.3) million were recorded on the disposal and impairment of assets for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 and March 20, 2001, respectively. We disposed of five properties in the current quarter and have divested a total of 16 facilities since the end of first quarter 2001.
Loss from operations before income taxes decreased to $21.7 million for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 from $25.3 million for the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001. This change is primarily attributable to the gains on divestitures mentioned above and a decrease in interest expense due to a decline in variable interest rates and lower average balances outstanding in the current quarter.
9
We use Adjusted EBITDA to monitor our property-level and overall performance. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA, an industry standard calculation of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for net membership deposits and fees, a joint venture adjustment and excludes gain (loss) on disposals and impairment of assets. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $9.5 million for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 from $14.1 million for the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001. This decrease is primarily due to the increase in operating loss mentioned above as well as declines in net membership deposits and fees and cash distributions received from nonconsolidated entities accounted for under the equity method.

Operating revenues increased $1.8 million for same store country club and golf facilities for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 from the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001. This increase is primarily due to increased membership dues, while food and beverage sales were down slightly and golf operations revenue was flat due to the effects of continued economic uncertainty. We increased membership dues through price increases and the rollout of Signature Gold in the second quarter of 2001. However, overall membership is down as a result of continued net attrition for full golf memberships. Food and beverage sales, especially for private parties, have been adversely impacted by decreased member and guest spending. Same store golf rounds are up primarily due to increased member rounds at our private clubs, which typically generate lower incremental golf revenues than guest and outing rounds. Golf revenues are flat due to average rate decreases at semi-private and public golf facilities attributable to price competition in the markets in which we operate. The decrease in operating revenues at total country club and golf facilities is primarily due to divestitures of non-strategic properties.
Segment operating income decreased $0.5 million for same store country club and golf facilities for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 from the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001. Lower profit margins were earned on golf operations due to the decline in average rates mentioned above and in food and beverage operations due to the decrease in private parties, which typically have higher margins than a la carte sales. The decrease in depreciation and amortization for total country club and golf facilities is primarily due to the impact of divestitures.
Net gains of $1.4 million and $2.6 million were recorded on property divestitures and the disposal of certain assets for the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001 and March 19, 2002, respectively. In the current quarter we divested five country club and golf facilities.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $3.8 million for same store country club and golf facilities for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 from the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001. This decrease is primarily due to declines in net membership deposits and fees and cash distributions received from nonconsolidated entities accounted for under the equity method.

Operating revenues decreased $4.4 million for same store business and sports clubs for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 from the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001. This decrease is primarily due to a decline in food and beverage sales, especially for private parties, as a result of lower membership and lower usage by existing members. Club membership and usage have been adversely impacted by decreased corporate and consumer spending due to the effects of continued economic uncertainty.
Segment operating income decreased $2.7 million for same store business and sports clubs for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 from the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in revenues mentioned above, partially offset by a decline in operating expenses resulting from the decrease in volume. Operating profit margins have declined due to the decrease in private parties, which typically have higher margins than a la carte sales. Additionally, the business clubs have begun a new dining program aimed at increasing volume through packaged menu items that are priced below our traditional selections.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2.2 million for same store business and sports clubs for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 from the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in operating income mentioned above.

Operating revenues decreased $0.8 million for same store resorts for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 from the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001. This decrease is primarily due to lower group business associated with declines in corporate spending due to continued economic uncertainty. While occupancy rates at Pinehurst and The Homestead remain steady, room nights are down significantly at Barton Creek, causing decreases in their other primary revenue streams such as food and beverage sales and golf operations revenue. These decreases are partially offset by an increase in membership dues as a result of price increases and the introduction of Signature Gold in the second quarter of 2001. Average daily revenue per occupied room has decreased due to the decline in spending at Barton Creek and decreased average daily room rates at Pinehurst resulting from efforts to maintain our volume of room nights at the resort.
Segment operating loss increased slightly for same store resorts for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 from the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001. This change is primarily due to the decrease in revenues mentioned above, partially offset by decreased operating costs and expenses due to the effective management of payroll and other expenses in response to reduced guest volume. Depreciation and amortization increased due to recently completed capital expansions.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased slightly for same store resorts for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 from the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001. This decrease is attributable to the increased operating loss mentioned above in addition to a decrease in net membership fees.
Other Operations
Adjusted EBITDA for realty operations increased to ($1.0) million in the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 from ($1.4) million in the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001. This increase is primarily due to the divestiture of The Owners Club at Telluride, Inc., offset by decreased sales closings in our Owners Club program. Sales of Owners Club units have been adversely impacted by a sellout of the majority of our available interests at two locations as well as continued uncertainty in the nation’s economy.
13
Adjusted EBITDA for international operations increased to $0.5 million in the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002 from ($0.1) million in the twelve weeks ended March 20, 2001. This increase is primarily due to increases in net membership deposits and fees and operating income related to the opening of three developing golf facilities since first quarter 2001.
Seasonality of Demand; Fluctuations in Quarterly Results
Our quarterly results fluctuate as a result of a number of factors. Usage of our country club and golf facilities and resorts declines significantly during the first and fourth quarters, when colder temperatures and shorter days reduce the demand for golf and golf-related activities. Our business facilities typically generate a greater share of their yearly revenues in the fourth quarter, which includes the holiday and year-end party season. In addition, the fourth quarter consists of 16 or 17 weeks of operations and the first, second and third quarters consist of twelve weeks. As a result of these factors, we usually generate a disproportionate share of our revenues in the second, third, and fourth quarters of each year and have lower revenues and profits in the first quarter. The timing of purchases, sales, leases of facilities, or divestitures, has also caused and may cause our results of operations to vary significantly in otherwise comparable periods. In addition, our results can be and have been affected by non-seasonal and severe weather patterns.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we have financed our operations and cash needs primarily through cash flows from operations, proceeds from divestitures, and long-term debt. Our primary cash needs for the remainder of 2002 and the immeditate future consist of capital to finance working capital needs, capital replacements at existing facilities, and existing capital expansion and development projects. We distinguish capital expenditures to refurbish and replace existing property and equipment (i.e., capital replacements) from discretionary capital expenditures such as the expansion of existing facilities (i.e., capital expansions). Most capital expenditures other than certain capital replacements are considered discretionary and could be curtailed in periods of low liquidity. Capital replacements are planned expenditures made each year to maintain high quality standards of facilities for the purpose of meeting existing members’ expectations and to attract new members. Capital expansions are discretionary expenditures which create new amenities or enhance existing amenities at existing facilities.
We are currently in the process of completing four development projects that we have undertaken in the last two years. As of May 3, 2002, we have funded approximately $13.6 million of the capital outlays for these projects. Approximately $13.4 million in additional expenditures will be required in the remainder of 2002 to fully complete these projects. Subsequent to March 19, 2002, we finalized mortgage financing with an external lender that provided approximately $13.8 million in funding for these projects. Upon completion of these projects, we do not expect to take on any significant discretionary capital expenditures for the remainder of 2002. Our current goal is to use the anticipated cash flows from these projects as well as those from our core operations to reduce our outstanding balance under our combined credit facility. As such, our trend of increased capital expenditures over the last three years will not continue in 2002.
We are also currently finalizing the process of disposing of several non-strategic assets. As of May 1, 2002, we have completed the divestiture of six properties in the current year for total cash proceeds of approximately $11.6 million and the assumption of $3.8 million in long-term debt.

Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results and the Accuracy of Our Forward-Looking Statements
Certain information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of these provisions, including projections of earnings, revenues or other financial items, statements of the plans and objectives of management for future operations, statements concerning proposed new services, statements regarding future economic conditions or performance, statements about market risk and statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “potential” or “continue,” or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations or any of our forward-looking statements will prove to be correct, and actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, some of which are summarized in this section and in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2001.
Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain members at our clubs and maintain or increase usage of our facilities. We have experienced varying levels of membership enrollment and attrition rates and, in certain areas, decreased levels of usage of our facilities during our operating history. Although management devotes substantial efforts to ensuring that members and guests are satisfied, many of the factors affecting club membership and facility usage are beyond our control, including weather conditions, general economic conditions, changes in demand for golf and private club services and changes in the federal tax laws. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain or increase membership or facility usage. Significant periods where attrition rates exceed enrollment rates, or where facilities’ usage is below historical levels would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Other factors that may affect our operating results include, but are not limited to, the actions of our competitors, changes in labor costs, the timing and success of acquisitions and dispositions, changes in law, and future terrorist attacks on the United States similar to those that occurred on September 11, 2001.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Effective December 26, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The adoption of SFAS 142 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations as we have virtually no goodwill in our consolidated financial statements. Substantially all of our purchase price related to our acquisitions is allocated to property and equipment.
Effective December 26, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Disposal or Impairment of Long-Lived Assets”. SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS 121 and the reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 for the disposal of a business segment. The implementation of SFAS 144 had no effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations as we did not transfer any assets to held for sale and disposals were not material for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2002.
