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 September 9, 2003, and the related consolidated statement of operations for the twelve weeks and thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2003 and September 3, 2002, and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2003 and September 3, 2002. 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.

As discussed in Note 7 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, effective December 26, 2001, ClubCorp changed its method of accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.

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 31, 2002, 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 April 7, 2003, 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 31, 2002, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 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 31, 2002 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 September 9, 2003, and the consolidated results of operations for the twelve weeks and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2002 and September 9, 2003, and cash flows for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2002 and September 9, 2003. 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

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 145 (SFAS 145), “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 62, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” The main provisions of this statement address classification of debt extinguishments and accounting for certain lease transactions. SFAS 145 was effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 affected our presentation of the write off of unamortized financing costs in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” The main provisions of this statement address the recognition of liabilities associated with exit or disposal activities and is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Implementation of this statement had no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34.” FIN 45 redefines the recognition and disclosures to be made by the guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements regarding obligations under certain guarantees issued. The provisions of the disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual reports ending after December 15, 2002. Implementation of this statement had no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, (FIN 46) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” which changes the criteria by which one company includes another entity in its consolidated financial statements. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. The effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46 have been deferred for interests held by public entities in variable interest entities or potential variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003. The impact of the initial consolidation of the variable interest entities to which the deferral applies will be on the balance sheet for the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003. We are currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe that this statement may cause us to consolidate a joint venture that would add net assets of $1.8 million including debt of $14.9 million to our Consolidated Balance Sheet. This investment is carried as an equity investment at September 9, 2003.

ClubCorp, Inc.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 (SFAS 148), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements in SFAS 123 for stock-based compensation for annual periods ending after December 15, 2002 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The disclosure requirements apply to all companies, including those that continue to recognize stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 148 also provides three alternative transition methods for companies that choose to adopt the fair value measurement provisions of SFAS 123. We have not chosen to adopt the fair value measurement provisions of SFAS 123; however, we are in compliance with the disclosure requirements as shown below in the Stock-based compensation disclosure.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 (SFAS 149), “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS 149 is effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. Implementation of this statement will have no impact to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 (SFAS 150), “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Implementation of this statement had no impact to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

Cash and cash equivalents

Our policy is to invest cash in excess of operating requirements in income producing investments. For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and interest-bearing deposits in financial institutions, all of which have maturities of 180 days or less. Also contained in cash and cash equivalents is restricted cash which mainly consists of $21.9 million used to collateralize line of credit. These letters of credit have one year terms and therefore, are included in current assets

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for using APB 25. Under APB 25, if the exercise price of the options is greater than or equal to the market price at the date of grant, no compensation expense is recorded. We have also adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation” for options issued, as amended by SFAS 148.

ClubCorp, Inc.

In accordance with the requirements of SFAS 123, the fair value of the options granted were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2002 and September 9, 2003: risk-free weighted average interest rates of 3.6%, an expected volatility of 40%, an expected life of ten years and zero dividend yield. Had compensation cost for the option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for the options, our net loss and net loss per share would have been changed to the following pro forma amounts (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Twelve Weeks Ended						Thirty-Six Weeks Ended
	September 3, 2002			September 9, 2003			September 3, 2002			September 9, 2003
Net Loss as reported	$	(10,914	)	$	(8,437	)	$	(31,022	)	$	(26,413	)
Add: Total Stock-Based Compensation Benefit (Expense) determined under fair value method, net of taxes		2,423			(783	)		(3,346	)		(4,373	)

Pro Forma Net loss	$	(8,491	)	$	(9,220	)	$	(34,368	)	$	(30,786	)

Loss per share – Reported	$	(0.12	)	$	(0.09	)	$	(0.33	)	$	(0.28	)

Loss per share – Pro Forma	$	(0.09	)	$	(0.10	)	$	(0.37	)	$	(0.33	)

During twelve weeks ended September 3, 2002, we had employee forfeitures that resulted in a credit to compensation expense.

Effective March 15, 2003, employees forfeited 3,778,986 options valued at $18,872,000, net of taxes. During November 2003, an equal number of options will be issued to these employees with an exercise price of current market value. In accordance with APB 25, no additional compensation costs will be recorded.

Note 2. Derivative instruments

Variable interest rates on our newly refinanced mortgage debt are based on the 30 day LIBOR rate plus an incremental margin (between 275 and 375 basis points) and the US Prime rate plus an incremental margin of 100 basis points. Interest payments on approximately 72% of the floating portion of these notes are protected by interest rate cap agreements that limit our exposure to rises in interest rates over certain amounts. During the twelve weeks ended September 9, 2003, we recognized a reduction to interest expense of $264,000 to record the change in fair value of these instruments.

During the twelve weeks ended September 9, 2003 we had certain interest rate swap contacts related to our bank financing that matured. The impact of this hedge activity was recorded at the time the bank debt was refinanced and, as such, had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements for the twelve weeks ended September 9, 2003.

ClubCorp, Inc.

Note 3. Operating revenues

We recognize revenues from the following sources (dollars in thousands):

	Twelve Weeks Ended				Thirty-Six Weeks Ended
	September 3, 2002		September 9, 2003		September 3, 2002		September 9, 2003
Revenues from continuing operations:
Membership fees and deposits	$	8,957	$	11,994	$	28,132	$	28,941
Membership dues		74,122		72,828		222,709		218,852

Lodging revenues		13,896		13,481		38,946		35,559
Other revenues		25,987		27,165		62,007		61,451

Total operating revenues from continuing operations	$	218,943	$	221,385	$	637,638	$	630,421

Revenues from discontinued operations:
Membership fees and deposits	$	387	$	328	$	704	$	328
Membership dues		3,479		633		9,828		3,226
Golf operations revenues		5,469		153		14,826		1,502
Food and beverage revenues		3,572		342		9,857		1,975
Lodging revenues		9		—		18		—
Other revenues		271		272		1,171		865

Total operating revenues from discontinued operations	$	13,187	$	1,728	$	36,404	$	7,896

Note 4. Income tax benefit (provision)

The income tax (provision) benefits for the twelve weeks and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2002 and September 9, 2003 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 our decision to not book additional benefit of $1.4 million related to our third quarter loss. We are currently in the process of assessing tax planning strategies to support our ability to continue to utilize our net operating loss carry forwards in the future and adjustments to our net asset position will be based on these assessments. Additional differences arise 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 93,740,461 and 93,727,772 for basic loss per share calculations for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2002 and September 9, 2003, respectively. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2002 and September 9, 2003 was 93,742,020 and 93,727,449, respectively. Diluted weighted average shares for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2002 and September 9, 2003 exclude incremental shares from assumed conversion of 559,349 and 52,331 shares, respectively, due to the net losses for the periods. Diluted weighted average shares for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2002 and September 9, 2003 excluded incremental shares from assumed conversion of 484,584 and 26,165 shares, respectively.

	$	1,197,692		$	1,175,291

Note 7. Disposal and Impairment of Long- Lived Assets

On December 26, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS 144 supercedes SFAS 121 and the portion of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 that deals with the disposal of a business segment. In conjunction with this statement, for all periods presented, certain assets and liabilities expected to be sold with the held-for-sale entities have been included in Other current Assets and Other Current Liabilities, and all income and expense items have been reclassified as Discontinued Operations.

As of September 9, 2003, we had three properties classified as held for sale. One of these properties held for sale was recorded under SFAS 121 as part of continuing operations. The remaining two properties were reported as held for sale under the guidance of SFAS 144. The balance sheet amounts related to these two properties are included in Other Current Assets and Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):

	December 31, 2002		September 9, 2003
Membership and other receivables, net	$	1,427	$	92
Inventories		705		13

Note 9. 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. We have determined that the operations of these three segments have similar economic characteristics and meet the criteria that permit the operations to be aggregated into these reportable segments. The primary sources of revenue for all segments are membership revenues, consisting of dues, fees and deposits, and food and beverage sales. Additionally, country club and golf facilities and resorts have significant golf operations revenue and resorts have significant lodging revenue.

Country club and golf facilities operations consist of domestic private country clubs, golf clubs and public golf facilities. Private country clubs provide at least one 18-hole golf course and various other recreational amenities that are open only to members and their guests. Golf clubs provide both private and public golf play and usually offer fewer other recreational amenities. Public golf facilities are open to the public and generally provide the same services as golf clubs.

Business and sports club operations consist of domestic business clubs, business/sports clubs and sports clubs. Business clubs provide a setting for dining, business or social entertainment. Sports clubs provide a variety of recreational facilities and business/sports clubs provide a combination of the amenities available at business clubs and sports clubs. All amenities offered above are available only to members and their guests.

Resorts offer a wide variety of amenities including golf courses, lodging and conference facilities, dining areas and other recreational facilities. Resorts are open to the public and offer optional membership.

Other operations and services consist of real estate operations, corporate overhead, intercompany eliminations made in the consolidation between corporate services and other operating segments and reclassifications made to conform with generally accepted accounting principles. Realty operations are comprised of residential real estate development and sales, primarily in areas adjacent to golf facilities. A majority of operating revenues are provided from real estate sales. As of January 1, 2003, we reclassified our international properties from other operations and services to their functional segments as either country club and golf facilities or business and sports clubs. Segment results for all periods presented have been restated to reflect this reclassification, which is consistent with changes in our internal management and organizational structure.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, extraordinary items and gains and losses on disposals and impairment of assets and includes both continuing and discontinued operations. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to, or a better indicator of, operating income or loss, is not based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and is not necessarily a measure of our cash flow or ability to fund our cash needs. Our measurements of EBITDA may not be comparable to similar titled measures reported by other companies.

During the twelve weeks ended September 9, 2003, we adjusted our segment information to be more in line with our internal reporting. The two key components that were changed were (1) recording elimination entries at the consolidated level instead of allocating them to each segment and (2) reviewing gain/loss from disposal and impairment of assets at the consolidated level. The remaining numbers by segment (operating revenues, operating expenses, depreciation and amortization, and EBITDA) then reflect the numbers that help drive our business decisions. Reclassifications have been made for all periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

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 and operates premier golf and business clubs and destination golf resorts. As of September 9, 2003, we operated 100 country clubs, golf clubs and public golf facilities, three destination golf resorts and 70 business, sports and business/sports clubs in 29 states and three foreign countries. Marquee resorts and clubs in our portfolio include Pinehurst^® Resort and Country Club in North Carolina, The Homestead^® Resort in Virginia, Barton Creek Resort and Country Club in Austin, Texas, Firestone^® Country Club in Akron, Ohio, Mission Hills^® Country Club near Palm Springs, California, and The City Club on Bunker Hill in Los Angeles.

Our operations are organized into three principal business segments: country club and golf facilities, resorts, and business and sports clubs. Other operations that are not assigned to a principal business segment include our real estate operations and corporate services. Our primary sources of revenue include membership dues, membership fees and deposits, food and beverage operations, golf operations and lodging.

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.

Our consolidated financial statements are presented on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the last Tuesday of December, with the first three quarters consisting of 12 weeks each and the fourth quarter consisting of 16 or 17 weeks. The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002 and September 9, 2003 should be read in conjunction with the our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Results of Operations

We analyze operating results and manage our business segments using the following concepts and definitions:

Operating revenues are comprised mainly of revenues from dues income, golf, food and beverage and lodging, as well as the revenues recognized from initiation deposits and fees. Operating expenses include payroll and related expenses, other fees and expenses, rent and membership commissions amortized.

We use EBITDA to monitor our property-level and overall performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, extraordinary items and gains and losses on disposals and impairment of assets and includes both continuing and discontinued operations. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to, or a better indicator of, operating income or loss, is not based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and is not necessarily a measure of our cash flow or ability to fund our cash needs. Our measurement of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. See Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of this measure to our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

12 Weeks Ended September 3, 2002 Compared to 12 Weeks Ended September 9, 2003

Consolidated Operations – Continuing Operations

Operating revenues increased from $218.9 million for third quarter 2002 to $221.4 million for third quarter 2003. This increase was comprised primarily of operating revenue increases of $3.0 million in our other operations and services and $1.0 million at our resorts, partially offset by decreases of $1.7 million at our business and sports clubs. Included in these segment variances are divestitures of facilities that accounted for $0.6 million of the net revenue decrease mentioned above.

Gain (loss) on disposals and impairment of assets was ($3.9) million for third quarter 2002 as compared to $37,000 for third quarter 2003. Included in these figures are impairment losses of $0.7 million recorded in the 12 weeks ended September 3, 2002 to write down the carrying value of certain properties classified as held for sale under SFAS 121.

Excluding the impact of disposals and impairment of assets, operating income increased from $9.4 million for third quarter 2002 to $10.9 million for third quarter 2003. This increase was primarily due to decrease operating costs and expenses of $1.1 million and the increase in revenues mentioned above, partially offset by increased depreciation and amortization of $2.1 million. Operating expenses declined as a result of expense controls in operations and lower cost of goods sold due to the decline in business volume. Depreciation and amortization increased as a result of capital expansion and development activity at our existing properties. Loss from operations before income taxes and minority interest decreased from of $8.7 million for third quarter 2002 to $3.6 million for third quarter 2003 as a result of the increase in operating income mentioned above. Interest expense remained relatively constant.

Discontinued Operations

At September 9, 2003, the operations of 30 divested properties and two properties currently held for sale were included in discontinued operations. Operating revenues for these properties decreased from $13.2 million for third quarter 2002 to $1.7 million for third quarter 2003. Segment operating income before the impact of disposals and impairment of assets from these properties increased $3.1 million from third quarter 2002 to third quarter 2003 primarily as a result of the divestiture of underperforming facilities. We divested one property in the 12 weeks ended September 3, 2002 and 3 properties in the 12 weeks ended September 9, 2003. Gain (loss) on disposals and impairment of assets was ($3.2) million and ($4.0) million for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2002 and September 9, 2003, respectively. The main component of gain (loss) was impairment losses of $4.5 million and $2.0 million that were recorded during the 12 weeks ended September 3, 2002 and September 9, 2003, respectively, to write down the carrying value of certain properties to be disposed.

Segment and Other Information – 12 weeks

Country Club and Golf Facilities

The following table presents certain summary financial and other operating data for our country club and golf facilities segment for the third quarters ended September 3, 2002 and September 9, 2003 (dollars in thousands):

EBITDA	$	23,510	$	23,561	$	23,210	$	23,421

Continuing Operations. Total operating revenues decreased $0.9 million from third quarter 2002 to third quarter 2003 for same store country club and golf facilities. This decrease was primarily due to decreased golf operations revenues of $0.9 million, decreased food and beverage sales of $0.5 million and decreased recognition of membership fees and deposits of $0.5 million, partially offset by increased membership dues of $0.7 million, and increased other recreation revenue of $0.3 million. Golf operations revenue decreased due to decreased demand which resulted in lower rounds, merchandise sales and other ancillary golf revenues. Food and beverage revenues declined as a result of lower activity at our clubs. Recognition of membership fees and deposits declined due to decreased amortization as a result of less membership additions. Membership dues increased as a result of price increases and a slight reversal in negative membership trends. The dues volume has increased since the beginning of the year showing favorable results for the first time in over two years. Other recreation revenue increased due to higher usage of tennis, athletics and other amenities offered at our private country clubs.

Segment operating income decreased $0.7 million at same store country club and golf facilities from third quarter 2002 to third quarter 2003 as a result of the decrease in revenues mentioned above and a $0.8 million increase in depreciation and amortization, partially offset by decreased operating costs and expenses of $0.9 million. Operating costs and expenses decreased as a result of savings in golf and food and beverage operations due to expense controls implemented due to the decline in volume in these areas. Depreciation and amortization increased due to recent expansion projects completed at our properties.

Discontinued Operations.The operations of 21 divested country club and golf facilities and two clubs currently held for sale were included in discontinued operations. Segment operating income for these properties decreased $0.6 million from third quarter 2002 to third quarter 2003 as a result of divestitures.

Resorts

The following table presents certain summary financial and other operating data for our resorts segment for the third quarters ended September 3, 2002 and September 9, 2003 (dollars in thousands):

(1)	Average daily revenue per occupied room and average daily revenue per available room are based on total operating revenues excluding membership dues, recognition of member initiation fees, and net managed rooms commissions.

(2)	Includes results of our resorts possessive overhead entity in addition to our 3 same store resorts.

Continuing Operations.Total operating revenues increased $1.1 million from third quarter 2002 to third quarter 2003 for same store resorts. This increase was primarily due to increased food and beverage sales of $1.2 million and increased lodging and spa revenues of $0.3 million each, partially offset by lower golf operations revenue of $0.6 million. Food and beverage sales increased as a result of higher occupancy and spending by social guests during the quarter. Lodging revenues increased as a result of increased room nights, although promotions and discounted pricing strategies reduced average room rates from the prior year. Spa revenues increased as a result of price increases at The Homestead. Golf operations revenues declined as a result of an 8.4% decrease in greens fees per round due to the extension of discounted pricing strategies to our resorts’ golf operations.

Segment operating income increased $2.0 million from third quarter 2002 to third quarter 2003 for same store resorts. This increase was due to a $1.0 million decrease in operating costs and expenses in addition to the increase in revenues mentioned above. Operating costs and expenses decreased due to reduced intercompany consulting fees that were not billed in 2003 as well as of the elimination of a large portion of our resorts’ offsite overhead structure. The elimination of the consulting fee billings had no net impact on Total Resorts operating expenses as Total Resorts includes the offsetting overhead revenue. Other operating expenses increased $0.6 million as a result of increased occupancy resulting from our discounted pricing strategies.

Discontinued Operations. Discontinued operations were comprised of the management fees of one divested resort property. The management agreement for this property was terminated in 2002.

Business and Sports Clubs

The following table presents certain summary financial and other operating data for our business and sports clubs segment for the third quarters ended September 3, 2002 and September 9, 2003 (dollars in thousands):

EBITDA	$	2,418		$	2,153		$	2,026		$	2,100

Continuing Operations.Total operating revenues decreased $1.1 million from third quarter 2002 to third quarter 2003 at same store business and sports clubs. This decrease was primarily comprised of a $0.9 million decrease in food and beverage sales, a $0.3 million decrease in recognition of membership fees and deposits, and a $0.2 million decline in membership dues, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in other revenue. Although membership retention levels have improved from those experienced in the last two fiscal years, we continue to experience slight attrition in member counts due to continued economic uncertainty. These trends have resulted in decreased membership dues and decreased recognition of membership deposits and fees. Food and beverage revenues decreased primarily as a result of decreases in private parties stemming from lower membership and activity at our clubs. Other revenue increased as a result of increased usage of tennis, athletics and spa facilities, in addition to improved results from non-wholly-owned facilities.

Segment operating loss increased $0.2 million from third quarter 2002 to third quarter 2003 at same store business and sports clubs due to the decrease in revenues mentioned above, partially offset by decreased operating costs and expenses of $0.9 million. Operating margins were positively impacted by improved food and beverage margins due to expense controls in purchasing and operations, in addition to a decline in rent expense of $0.2 million. Rent expense has declined due to the renegotiation of certain of our facilities’ lease agreements with their respective landlords, in addition to a decline in contingent rent payments.

Discontinued Operations. The operations of eight divested business and sports clubs were included in discontinued operations. Segment operating loss from these properties decreased $0.4 million from third quarter 2002 to third quarter 2003 as a result of the divestiture of underperforming clubs.

Other Operations and Services – Continuing Operations

Operating income for our real estate operations improved by $0.3 million from third quarter 2003 to third quarter 2002. This increase was primarily due to cost cutting initiatives in the administrative and sales and marketing functions of our real estate operations. Operationally, we experienced increased real estate sales of $0.6 million as a result of the sale of all 13 ownership interests of a unit at Owners Club—Homestead.

Included in third quarter 2003 results is a charge of $1.3 million to accrue for vacation earned by employees. This is in addition to the reserve of $2.8 million that was previously established, $1.1 million of which was recorded in the first and second quarters of 2003.

Operating revenues decreased from $637.6 million for the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002 to $630.4 million for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 as a result of i) divestitures, ii) continued economic uncertainty and iii) poor weather conditions at several of our properties. This decrease was comprised of operating revenue decreases of $3.9 million at our business and sports clubs, $2.8 million in our other operations and services, and $2.9 million at our resorts, partially offset by an increase of $2.4 million at our country club and golf facilities. Included in these segment variances are divestitures of facilities that accounted for $4.4 million of the net revenue decrease mentioned above.

Loss on disposals and impairment of assets was $13.7 million in the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002 as compared to $0.3 million in the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003. We disposed of four properties in the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002 and one property in addition to those mentioned below in the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003. Included in these figures are impairment losses of $0.7 million recorded in the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002 to write down the carrying value of certain properties classified as held for sale under SFAS 121.

Excluding the impact of disposals and impairment of assets, operating income increased to $19.9 million for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 from $18.6 million for the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002. This increase was due to a decline in operating costs and expenses of $12.0 million, partially offset by increased depreciation and amortization of $3.5 million, and the decline in revenues mentioned above. Operating costs and expenses declined as a result of expense controls in operations, in addition to being impacted in the prior year by a litigation accrual of $3.2 million relating to an arbitration decision at one of our country clubs. Depreciation and amortization increased as a result of capital expansion and development activity at our existing properties.

Loss from operations before income taxes and minority interests decreased to $36.7 million for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 from $35.8 million for the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002. This decrease was primarily due to the improvement in operating income mentioned above, offset by increased interest expense of $5.4 million as a result of higher levels of outstanding debt and higher loan fee amortization in the first two quarters of 2002 due to amendments to our previous credit facility. On June 4, 2003, we completed a major refinancing of our outstanding bank debt. As a result of these transactions, we wrote off $10.6 million in unamortized financing costs related to our previous credit facility in second quarter 2003.

Discontinued Operations

At September 9, 2003, the operations of 30 divested properties and two properties currently held for sale were included in discontinued operations. Operating revenues for these properties decreased from $36.4 million for the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002 to $7.9 million for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003. Segment operating loss from these properties decreased $4.6 million for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 from the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002. This change was primarily a result of the divestiture of underperforming facilities. We divested six properties in the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002 and 15 properties in the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003. Impairment losses of $6.3 million and $2.0 million were recorded during the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002 and September 9, 2003, respectively, to write down the carrying value of certain properties to be disposed.

EBITDA	$	66,378	$	70,420	$	64,580		$	69,495

Continuing Operations.Total operating revenues increased $0.8 million at same store country club and golf facilities for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 as compared to the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to increased membership dues of $1.7 million and increased other recreation revenue of $1.1 million, partially offset by decreased recognition of membership deposits and fees of $1.9 million. Membership dues increased as a result of price increases and a slight reversal in negative membership trends. The dues volume has increased since the beginning of the year showing favorable results for the first time in over two years. Other recreation revenue increased due to higher usage of tennis, athletics and other amenities offered at our private country clubs. Recognition of membership fees and deposits declined due to decreased amortization as a result of less membership additions. The additional $1.6 million increase in operating revenues at total country club and golf facilities was primarily due to the ramping up of developing properties.

Segment operating income increased $3.3 million at same store country club and golf facilities for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 from the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002 as a result of decreased operating costs and expenses of $3.3 million and the increase in revenues mentioned above, partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in depreciation and amortization. Operating costs and expenses were impacted in the prior year by a litigation accrual of $3.2 million relating to an arbitration decision at one of our country clubs. Depreciation and amortization increased due to recent expansion projects completed at our properties. The additional $1.9 million increase in segment operating income for total country club and golf facilities was primarily due to the second quarter 2002 divestiture of Daufuskie Island Club and Resort, one of our former resorts that was reclassified to our country club and golf facilities segment at the outset of fiscal year 2002 due to the reduction in services offered at the property in anticipation of its sale.

Discontinued Operations. The operations of 21 divested country club and golf facilities and two clubs currently held for sale were included in discontinued operations. Segment operating income from these properties increased $0.7 million for total country club and golf facilities for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 from the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002 primarily as a result of the divestiture of underperforming properties.

Continuing Operations.Total operating revenues decreased $2.8 million for same store resorts for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 from the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002. This decrease was primarily due to decreased golf operations revenue of $2.5 million and lower lodging revenues of $1.2 million, in addition to other income of $0.9 million. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases in spa revenue of $1.0 million and increased recognition of membership fees of $0.7 million. Golf operations revenues declined primarily due to a 6.7% decrease in rounds and a 2.8% decrease in greens fee per round as a result of poor weather and reduced spending by resort guests. In addition, golf instruction revenues declined due to the termination of an agreement with a golf teaching center. Although paid occupancy rates increased slightly in 2003, lodging revenues were impacted by lower rates that our resorts offered in order to improve business volume. The Homestead was affected by extremely poor weather conditions and the timing of our prior fiscal year end, which resulted in the revenues from the year-end holiday season being recorded at the end of fiscal year 2002 as opposed to at the beginning of fiscal year 2003. In addition, general economic uncertainty and the war in Iraq combined to affect operating performance at Pinehurst during the first and second quarters of 2003. These factors combined to result in the 6.2% decrease in average daily revenue per occupied room for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 compared to the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002. Other income declined as a result of promotional discounts offered by our resorts to increase occupancy. Spa revenue increased due to the opening of The Spa at Pinehurst in second quarter 2002 and price increases at The Homestead. Recognition of membership fees increased as a result of the amortization of membership fees and positive membership trends at Pinehurst.

Segment operating income increased $1.8 million for same store resorts for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 from the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002. This increase was primarily due to a decline in operating costs and expenses of $5.5 million, partially offset by the decrease in revenues mentioned above and increased depreciation and amortization of $0.9 million. Operating costs and expenses declined as a result of expense controls in operations in response to the decline in revenues, as well as overhead reductions resulting from cost cutting initiatives implemented in the second half of 2002 and into 2003. As part of this reorganization, intercompany consulting fees were not billed in 2003. The elimination of the consulting fee billings had no net impact on Total Resorts operating expenses as Total Resorts includes the offsetting overhead revenue. Depreciation and amortization increased due to recent expansion projects completed at our resorts. The

$1.7 million decrease in segment operating income at total resorts reflects the elimination of the consulting fee at the total resort level.

Discontinued Operations. Discontinued operations were comprised of the management fees of one divested resort property. The management agreement for this property was terminated in 2002.

Business and Sports Clubs

The following table presents certain summary financial and other operating data for our business and sports club segment for the 36 week periods ended September 3, 2002 and September 9, 2003 (dollars in thousands):

EBITDA	$	11,390	$	11,844	$	10,323		$	11,528

Continuing Operations. Total operating revenues decreased $2.3 million at same store business and sports clubs for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 from the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002. This decrease was primarily due to a $1.0 million decline in membership dues, a decline in food and beverage revenues of $1.0 million, and decreased recognition of membership deposits and fees of $0.9 million. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in other revenue of $0.6 million. Although membership retention levels have improved from those experienced in the last two fiscal years, we continue to experience slight attrition in member counts due to continued economic uncertainty. These trends have resulted in decreased membership dues and decreased recognition of membership deposits and fees. Food and beverage revenues decreased primarily as a result of decreases in private parties stemming from lower membership and activity at our clubs. Other revenue increased as a result of increased usage of tennis, athletics and spa facilities, in addition to improved results from non-wholly-owned facilities.

Segment operating income increased $0.8 million at same store business and sports clubs for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 from the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002. This increase was primarily due to decreased operating costs and expenses of $2.7 million, partially offset by the decrease in revenues mentioned above. Operating margins were positively impacted by improved food and beverage margins due to expense controls in purchasing and operations, in addition to a decline in rent expense of $1.1 million. Rent expense has declined due to the renegotiation of certain of our facilities’ lease agreements with their respective landlords, in addition to a decline in contingent rent payments. Depreciation and amortization declined due to lower recent levels of capital spending at our business and sports clubs.

Discontinued Operations.The operations of eight divested business and sports clubs were included in discontinued operations. Segment operating loss from these properties decreased $1.1 million for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 from the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002 as a result of the divestiture of underperforming facilities.

Other Operations and Services – Continuing Operations

Operating income for our real estate operations improved to $0.2 million in the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 from a loss of ($3.8) million for the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002. This increase was primarily due to cost cutting initiatives in the administrative and sales and marketing functions of our real estate operations. Operationally, we experienced decreased real estate sales of $1.8 million as a result of lower sales of units in our Owners Club program. Partially offsetting this decrease in real estate sales was a $2.0 million increase in our equity in earnings of a non-consolidated real estate joint venture due to increased realty sales.

Included in results for other operations and services for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 is a charge of $1.5 million recorded to cover the costs of a settlement reached in a lawsuit related to one of our former properties. This amount is in addition to the $1.0 million reserve established during the fourth quarter of 2002 for this matter. We also recognized a charge of $2.4 million in the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 to accrue for vacation earned by employees. This amount is in addition to the $1.7 million reserve established during the fourth quarter of 2002.

During the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 we recorded a charge of $1.0 million to cover incurred litigation fees and settlement charges related to one component of an outstanding lawsuit related to one of our former properties. Parties to this lawsuit are also claiming damages in the maximum amount of $5.5 million for which we have not set up any accrual as the actual settlement is not estimable at this time as the amount is still subject to significant reduction. In accordance with legal requirements, we are currently holding $4.5 million in escrow pertaining to this matter until the lawsuit is resolved.

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 generate a disproportionately 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 12 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, borrowings under credit facilities, and to a lesser extent, proceeds from divestitures. Our primary cash needs for the remainder of 2003 and the immediate future thereafter consist of capital to finance working capital needs, capital replacements at existing facilities, limited capital expansion and development projects, and debt service. 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) and investments in joint ventures. 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 that create new amenities or enhance existing amenities at existing facilities. The company plans to invest the vast majority of its capital expenditures in 2003 and 2004 into capital replacements. The limited amounts planned for capital expansions will be invested in our existing properties where a return can be achieved through growth in the asset’s cash flows rather than by acquiring or investing in new facilities. Total capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $54 million in 2003 and $60 million in 2004. Net cash flows used by investing activities were $11.7 million for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 as compared to $65.3 million for the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002.

Net cash flows from financing activities were $48.7 million for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 as compared to $26.5 million for the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002. In June, 2003, we refinanced the majority of our bank credit facility with mortgage loan financing totaling $617.6 million. Additionally, we closed on 3 additional mortgage loans during the twelve weeks ended September 9, 2003 totaling $40 million of which $23 million was utilized to settle an existing loan

and contingent purchase price. Overall, our cash flow situation has improved as the refinancing provided us with additional working capital and liquidity, favorable interest rates and less restrictive debt covenants.

Net cash flows provided from by operations decreased to $38.8 million in the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2003 from $52.6 million in the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2002 as a result of lower revenues and reductions of accounts payable. We anticipate that the company will be able to generate cash flows from operating activities in an amount greater than our obligations for scheduled principal payments and expected capital expenditures. In the event that this is not the case, the company could use its existing cash reserve to meet its obligations or delay or cancel certain capital repair or expansion projects. As a result of our refinancing transactions mentioned above, we believe we have adequate capital resources to fund our operations. As of October 24, 2003, we have also completed the divestiture of 16 properties and certain other holdings in the current year for net cash proceeds of approximately $30.6 million.

Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results and the Accuracy of Our Forward-Looking Statements

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 should be considered “forward-looking statements” for purposes of these provisions, including statements that include projections of, or expectations about, earnings, revenues or other financial items, statements about our plans and objectives for future operations, statements concerning proposed new products or services, statements regarding future economic conditions or performance, statements concerning our expectations regarding the attraction and retention of members and guests, statements about market risk and statements 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,” “intends,” “believes,” “estimates,” “potential” or “continue,” or the negative thereof or other similar words. 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. Actual results and developments are likely to be different from, and may be materially different from, those expressed or implied by 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 31, 2002.

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, our ability to obtain external financing, the actions of our competitors, changes in labor costs, the timing and success of acquisitions and dispositions, changes in law, future terrorist attacks on U.S. targets, prolonged U.S. military efforts with Iraq and/or other nations, or other related international geopolitical uncertainties.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 (SFAS 149), “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS 149 is effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. Implementation of this statement had no impact to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
