Part I
Item 1. Business
General
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 December 27, 2005, we had more than 192,000 memberships and operated 99 country clubs, golf clubs and public golf facilities, three destination golf resorts and 65 business, sports and business/sports clubs in 26 states, Washington D.C. and three foreign countries. Marquee resorts and clubs in our portfolio include Pinehurst® Resort and Country Club in Pinehurst, North Carolina, The Homestead® Resort in Hot Springs, 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, California.Golf Digest,Golf Travel and other golf industry publications have consistently ranked several of our nearly 150 golf courses and destination golf resorts among the best in the U.S.
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 our 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 references to us also include Country Clubs, Inc. and its successor corporations. For purposes of this document, unless otherwise indicated, 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 in any way to reduce the legal distinctions and separateness between subsidiaries or between us and our subsidiaries.
There is currently no public market for our common stock. We are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pursuant to Section 15(d) thereof, because we filed a registration statement on Form S-1, which became effective October 24, 1994 pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement registered participation interests in the ClubCorp Stock Investment Plan (the “Plan”) and our common stock, at $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), to be sold to the Plan. The Plan was amended and restated on January 1, 1999, to become the ClubCorp Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Amended Plan”).
Throughout Item 1 of this document, financial and property information reflects consolidated totals and includes amounts attributable to properties held for sale that are classified as discontinued operations under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Details of these properties are available in Annex A – “List of Facilities.”
Operations
Background and Philosophy
We were founded in 1957 to develop Brookhaven Country Club in the North Dallas, Texas area. Since that time, we have expanded our operations to 167 facilities. In 1967, we established our first business club on the belief that we could profitably expand our operations by applying our club management skills and member-oriented philosophy to a related line of business. In 1984, we entered the destination resort industry when we capitalized on a turn-around opportunity by acquiring Pinehurst and currently operate three destination resorts. We commenced international operations in 1980 and currently operate seven facilities primarily in Mexico and Australia. In directing our growth since our formation, our management has emphasized quality service and facilities, endeavoring to exceed the expectations of our members and guests.
Mr. Robert H. Dedman, Sr., our founder and former Chairman and CEO, who passed away in August 2002, established ClubCorp on the belief that private clubs represented a significant business opportunity for a company that could combine professional development and management skills with the dedication to personal service necessary to attract and retain members. This commitment to professionalism and personal service is reflected in our member-oriented philosophy: create lasting value for members, guests, employees and financial partners by delivering personalized service and experiences that facilitate life-enhancing relationships, achieve world class results and create pride in belonging.
3
Our management and employees recognize that we are in a relationship business where member and guest satisfaction is essential to long-term growth and profitability. Underlying this philosophy are progressive human resource values and goals which we believe have resulted in superior customer service. Management believes that our member-oriented philosophy and culture set us apart from many of our competitors that focus on short-term returns that may jeopardize member satisfaction and long-term profitability. We are committed to maintaining our leadership position in the golf-related and business and sports club segments by creating an environment where members, guests and employees are treated with respect, trust and honesty. Our policy is to not restrict membership in our facilities on the basis of race, religion, gender or other immutable characteristics.
From ClubCorp’s beginning, we have focused on assembling and maintaining an experienced management team. Our executive officers, including the Chairman of the Board, possess a significant amount of hospitality industry experience. We have also attempted to attract and retain qualified, dedicated managers for our clubs and resorts. These managers possess an average of more than 16 years of experience with our facilities. Senior management believes that our success depends greatly upon the motivation, training and experience of our employees. We provide an extensive, proprietary system of in-house training and education for all of our employees that is designed to improve the quality of services provided to members and guests. See — “Employees.”
Nature of Operations
We operate country club and golf facilities, business and sports clubs and resorts through sole ownership, partial ownership and management agreements. In addition, we perform various corporate services internally and for managed properties and, to a lesser extent, develop and sell real estate adjacent to our facilities. See — “Other Operations and Services.” With respect to our sole ownership operations, in some cases we own the real property where the facility is operated and in other cases we lease the real property from third parties. See Item 2 – “Properties.” Management believes that our existing club, resort and other facilities and our base of club members represent a significant value to us. For example, certain of our country clubs that were developed many years ago are now located in densely populated areas where land of sufficient size to develop a new facility would be prohibitively expensive.
The success of our business is dependent on our ability to attract new members, retain existing members and maintain or increase levels of club usage by members and guests. Although we devote significant resources to promote our facilities and services, many of the factors affecting club membership and usage are beyond our control. Local and federal government laws, including income tax regulations applicable to us and our club members and guests, can adversely influence membership activity. See — “Government Regulation and Environmental Matters.” Changes in consumer tastes and preferences, local, regional and national economic conditions, including levels of disposable income, weather and demographic trends can also have an adverse impact on club membership and usage. See Item 7 — “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results—Seasonality of Demand; Fluctuations in Quarterly Results.”
Country Club and Golf Facilities
Our portfolio of 99 country club and golf facilities is comprised of 89 private and semi-private country and golf clubs with nearly 82,000 memberships as of December 27, 2005, and ten public golf facilities. Our country club and golf facilities are located in 19 states and two foreign countries, providing us with a geographically diverse revenue base. We have focused our operations in this segment on private and semi-private clubs because of our expertise in managing membership-based facilities, the relative competitive position of such clubs as compared to public courses and the stability of recurring membership dues as a primary revenue source.
Operating revenues for our country club and golf facilities segment consist primarily of membership revenues (comprised primarily of membership dues, and to a lesser extent, recognition of deferred membership fees and deposits), golf revenues and food and beverage sales. In 2005, our country club and golf facilities segment generated operating revenues of $530.2 million, or 51.1% of our total revenues, and segment EBITDA of $123.3 million. See Note 11 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Country Clubs.Our 73 private country clubs generally provide one or more golf courses and one or more of the following facilities: dining rooms, lounge areas, meeting rooms, grills, ballrooms, tennis courts, swimming pools and pro shops. Our private country clubs include Firestone, host of the PGA’s World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational for 2006 through 2010 and Mission Hills, home of the LPGA’s annual Kraft-Nabisco Championship which is one of the four major tournaments on the LPGA Tour. Our current international operations include the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course at Vista Vallarta Club de Golf in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, site of the Champions Tour’s 2006 Puerto Vallarta Blue Agave Golf Classic.
Golf Clubs. Our 16 semi-private golf clubs generally offer both private and public play, a driving range and food and beverage concessions. Our semi-private golf clubs include Nags Head Golf Links in North Carolina and Golden Bear Golf Club at Indigo Run in South Carolina.
4
Public Golf Facilities. Our ten public golf facilities are daily fee courses that offer a “member for the day” experience and generally provide many of the same amenities, facilities and services as our semi-private golf clubs. Daily fee facilities include the Bear’s Best courses, which were formed through a joint venture with Jack Nicklaus’ Golden Bear Golf, Inc. Our two Bear’s Best courses in Las Vegas and Atlanta, respectively, feature replicas of some of the most famous Nicklaus-designed golf holes. The Bear’s Best Las Vegas course was one of the three golf courses used for the 2004 Las Vegas Invitational. The tournament marks the first time a replica course has been a part of the PGA Tour.
Resorts
Each of our three destination resorts focus on delivering quality golf resort lifestyle as well as lodging and conference facilities, dining and lounge areas, golf, tennis, recreational facilities, European style spas and other resort amenities. Our three destination resorts are Pinehurst Resort and Country Club, The Homestead Resort and Barton Creek Resort and Country Club. The resorts segment also includes our sports marketing division, Pinehurst Championship Management, which manages the operations of high profile golf tournaments at Pinehurst and other locations. Operating revenues for our resorts segment consist primarily of lodging revenues, food and beverage sales, golf and merchandise revenues, other amenities and recreation revenues and membership fees. In 2005, our resort segment generated operating revenues of $269.7 million, or 26.0% of our total revenues, and segment EBITDA of $64.8 million. See Note 11 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Pinehurst. Acquired in 1984, Pinehurst is the largest golf resort in the world and is a National Historic Landmark. Pinehurst hosted the 1999 and 2005 U.S. Opens, the shortest interval between hosting at a single facility in the last 50 years. Pinehurst includes eight championship 18-hole golf courses, including the highly acclaimed Pinehurst Course No. 2 (ranked second inGolf Digest’s America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses in 2005-2006), and approximately 465 guest rooms and suites in three separate facilities, including 85 managed rooms to which we have access. In addition to a 31,000 square foot spa facility, Pinehurst also has a golf school, 24 tennis courts, two outdoor swimming pools, nine dining venues, seven retail venues and approximately 55,000 square feet of conference space, which enables the resort to accommodate large group functions. The resort has also been selected to host the 2008 U.S. Men’s Amateur Championship. InGolf Digest’s America’s Top 75 Golf Resorts (2004), Pinehurst was ranked sixth. Pinehurst also has a private country club that at December 27, 2005 had 4,840 memberships.
The Homestead. Founded in 1766 and acquired by ClubCorp in 1993, The Homestead is a National Historic Landmark. The Homestead includes approximately 495 guest rooms and suites, three 18-hole championship golf courses, including the Cascades course (ranked 13th inGolf Digest’s America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses in 2005 - 2006), a golf school, equestrian center, gun club, six tennis courts, an indoor and an outdoor swimming pool, ten downhill ski runs and over 72,000 square feet of conference space, including a 20,000 square foot grand ballroom facility. The Homestead also has a nationally recognized spa and ten dining facilities. InGolf Digest’s America’s Top 75 Golf Resorts (2004), The Homestead was ranked ninth. At December 27, 2005, The Homestead had 261 memberships which was an increase over prior year due to new memberships being generated from a new real estate development in the area.
Barton Creek. Acquired in 1996, Barton Creek is a premier luxury resort in Austin, Texas. Barton Creek has approximately 295 guest rooms and suites, four championship 18-hole golf courses, including Fazio Canyons and Fazio Foothills, the number two and five rated public access courses in Texas byGolfweekmagazine in 2005, 11 tennis courts, four dining facilities, more that 30,000 square feet of meeting space, including a ballroom, a 150 seat ampitheater, and a luxurious spa. InGolf Digest’s America’s Top 75 Golf Resorts (2004), Barton Creek was ranked 37th. Barton Creek also includes a private golf club that at December 27, 2005 had 2,578 memberships.
Business and Sports Clubs
Our portfolio of 65 business and sports clubs is comprised of 47 business clubs, 15 business/sports clubs and three sports clubs, with a combined total of more than 101,000 memberships as of December 27, 2005. These facilities are located in 21 states, Washington D.C. and Beijing, China. Each of our business clubs includes dining rooms, bar areas and private meeting rooms. In addition, most of our business clubs are equipped with state-of-the-art media and telecommunications equipment, providing a technologically-enabled work area. Our sports clubs provide an array of facilities which generally include racquetball and squash courts, jogging tracks, exercise areas, weight machines, aerobic studios, swimming pools and, occasionally, tennis and basketball courts. Business/sports clubs combine the ambiance and amenities of our business clubs with the facilities of our premier sports clubs. Our business and sports clubs include The City Club on Bunker Hill in Los Angeles, The Athletic and Swim Club at Equitable Center in New York City, The Metropolitan Club in Chicago, The Citrus Club in Orlando, The Buckhead Club in Atlanta and The Capital Club in Beijing, China. Operating revenues for business and sports clubs segment consist primarily of monthly membership dues and food and beverage sales. In 2005, our business and sports clubs segment generated operating revenues of $223.9 million, or 21.6% of our total revenues, and segment EBITDA of $38.6 million. See Note 11 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Operations and Services
Real Estate Operations.We manage fractional ownership property owners associations and sell our remaining fractional ownership interests at selected properties through our Owners Club program and develop and sell residential real estate adjacent to our golf facilities. Our principal Owners Club locations are The Homestead in Virginia, Barton Creek in Texas, Hilton Head in South Carolina and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Given our strategic initiative to focus on our core businesses, we do not expect to significantly expand our real estate operations in the near future.
Corporate Services. We perform a number of services on a company-wide basis, including certain centralized marketing, accounting, technology support and purchasing functions. We also publishPrivate Clubs®, an award winning bi-monthly magazine which showcases our member and guest facilities and strategic partner relationships through feature articles and advertising.
Expansion and Development
Historically, we have expanded our operations through strategic acquisitions and development projects; growing from one country club to an extensive list of 167 facilities that now include business clubs, resorts and athletic clubs both domestically and internationally. In the last three years we have re-oriented our strategic focus to our core businesses and divested various non-strategic assets. We are investigating opportunities to manage clubs through management agreements, joint ventures and sole ownership. Since the beginning of 2004, we have added five managed clubs to our portfolio and in early 2006 we added a managed resort. Also, more focus is being placed on reviewing current high-potential properties and allocating capital to expand those properties that we feel will provide a good return on investment.
We are also pursuing multiple new business opportunities around our core competency, which is superior club management and opportunities to combine our resort and club management experience. In addition, we will evaluate potential strategic acquisitions and dispositions and other strategic opportunities and relationships that present themselves.
We continue to place an emphasis on exploring a variety of new growth opportunities. Strategic growth opportunities focus on new products and services that we can offer, as opposed to traditional club management discussed above. Leveraging our member base will be a key strategy for us. We anticipate that some of our growth dollars in 2006 will be generated in this area.
Sales and Marketing
We own and operate a diverse base of country clubs, business and sports clubs and resorts. Based on the specific attributes of each club and its local market, we attempt to position our golf and business clubs, from the premium-end to the entry level of the specific market segments in which they compete, making the club experience available to a variety of target demographics. Our resorts are positioned as “one of a kind” properties with a broad range of activities and services.
As part of our corporate services, we develop and implement national marketing and promotional programs, control trademarks and trademark licensing agreements, engage public relations firms and advertising agencies, coordinate communications with media sources and develop collateral materials. We believe that these coordinated activities provide highly effective, complementary programs to the sales efforts at our individual clubs and resorts.
Our clubs also offer extended member programs. For example, we sponsor the Associate Clubs® Program, which provides members of clubs owned, leased or managed by us with access to other clubs outside a certain radius of the member’s club. In 2001, we added Signature Gold as a new level of Associate Club membership, providing enhanced privileges at a select group of our properties. In 2003, we offered an enhanced Signature Gold program with expanded benefits (including food and beverage) to those members. In cities where multiple Associate Clubs are located, membership in a Society is often available. Society membership provides privileges in many clubs within the same metropolitan area without any radius restrictions and also provides additional benefits such as concierge services and VIP seating at local events.
We believe there are significant opportunities to increase revenues by marketing our interrelated products and services to our existing customer base. We seek to develop and accentuate the unique aspects of our resorts, like Pinehurst, and country clubs, like Firestone, in order to attract repeat customers, encourage group guests to return individually and increase rates charged for our services and amenities.
6
To promote our facilities, we publishPrivate Clubs magazine, which reaches the majority of the members at our clubs and resorts in addition to our affiliate clubs and resorts. The magazine’s focus is on golf, travel, food, wine, recreation and other aspects of the “private club experience.”
We host a number of professional golf tournaments that not only enhance our name recognition and that of our clubs and resorts but also add additional revenue. During 2005, our facilities hosted several nationally recognized golf tournaments affiliated with, among others, the PGA Tour, the Champions Tour, the LPGA Tour, the Nationwide Tour and the PGA of America. During 2005, some of the most notable tournaments our facilities hosted were the 2005 United States Open Championship at Pinehurst, the Kraft-Nabisco Championship at Mission Hills, the World Golf Championship-NEC Invitational at Firestone Country Club, the Kinko’s Classic of Austin at The Hills Country Club, and the Chick-fil-A Charity Championship at Eagle’s Landing Country Club. Firestone will also host the 2006 through 2010 World Golf Championships - Bridgestone Invitational.
We believe we have established strong relationships with numerous professional organizations including the following:
| • | | United States Golf Association; |
| • | | PGA Tour and LPGA Tour; |
| • | | Professional Golf Association of America; |
| • | | American Junior Golf Association; |
| • | | National Golf Course Owners Association; |
| • | | Club Managers Association of America; |
| • | | National Club Association; |
| • | | International Health, Racquet & Sports Club Association; |
| • | | National Restaurant Association; and |
| • | | National Golf Foundation. |
Relationships such as these have enabled us to bring distinctive tournaments and events, such as the U.S. Open and the Senior PGA Championship, as well as numerous other prestigious events, to our clubs and resorts throughout the world. We also host many United States Tennis Association and Intercollegiate Tennis Association events, including the Omni Hotels Intercollegiate Tennis Championships, along with other athletic activities such as swimming, diving, lawn bowling and croquet.
Government Regulation and Environmental Matters
We are subject to a wide range of federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those governing discharges into the air and water, the storage of petroleum substances and chemicals, the handling and disposal of wastes, and the remediation of contamination arising from spills and releases. Our operations are subject to numerous other laws and regulations, including occupational health and safety, labor and alcoholic beverage control laws and laws relating to access for disabled persons. Changes to these laws or regulations could adversely affect us. We have policies in place designed to bring or keep our facilities in compliance, and audit procedures to inspect for compliance with all current federal, state and local environmental laws. We are not aware of, and have not been informed by the Environmental Protection Agency or any state or local governmental authority of, any non-compliance or violation of any environmental laws, ordinances or regulations likely to be material to us, and we believe that we are in substantial compliance with all such laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to our facilities and operations. See Item 7 — “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results.”
We are subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act and various federal and state laws governing such matters as minimum wage requirements, overtime and other working conditions and citizenship requirements. The salaries of certain of our personnel are based on the federal minimum wage and adopted increases in the minimum wage have historically increased our labor costs. Historically, we have tried to pass these increased labor costs to our customers through price increases. In addition, we are subject to certain state “dram-shop” laws, which provide a person injured by an intoxicated individual the right to recover damages from an establishment that wrongfully served alcoholic beverages to the intoxicated individual. We are also subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which, among other things, created federally mandated access and use requirements. We believe we are in substantial compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing our operations.
7
We have operations in a number of states that regulate the licensing of restaurants and resorts, including liquor license grants, by requiring registration, disclosure statements and compliance with specific standards of conduct. While we believe that we are, and will continue to be, in substantial compliance with these requirements, there can be no assurance that these requirements will not change or that any such change will not adversely affect us.
Competition
We operate in a highly competitive industry and our clubs and resorts compete primarily on the basis of management expertise, reputation, featured facilities, quality and breadth of services and price. With respect to our resorts, we compete on a national and international level with numerous hotel and resort companies. Competition in this part of the industry is intense and there can be no assurance that such competition will not adversely affect revenues, costs or operating income of our resorts. Our country club and golf facilities compete on a local and regional level with other country club and golf facilities and our business and sports clubs compete on a local and regional level with high-end restaurants and other business and sports clubs. The level of competition in these lines of business varies from region to region and is subject to change as existing facilities are renovated or new facilities are developed. An increase in the number or quality of similar clubs and other facilities in a particular region could significantly increase competition, which could have a material adverse effect on our results from that region. Our results of operations also could be affected by a number of additional competitive factors, including the availability of, and demand for, alternative forms of recreation.
We also compete for the operation of golf courses with national and regional golf course management companies, and, less frequently, with individuals and small ventures that typically own one or more golf courses. There are opportunities for consolidation in the highly fragmented golf course ownership industry in the U.S. and the industry has seen a modest level of consolidation in recent years. In the acquisition of golf courses, companies compete primarily on the basis of price and their reputation for operating golf courses. Many of our competitors have substantially greater capital resources than we do, sometimes providing them the ability to pay substantially more for the type of facilities consistent with those in our portfolio and strategy.
Throughout the 1990’s and early 2000’s, there was a substantial increase in the development of public golf facilities in the U.S. Competition in this market has intensified and the increase in availability of daily fee courses has adversely affected demand in portions of the semi-private and private club market. According to the National Golf Foundation, the growth in supply of available golf courses, fueled by the daily fee market, has outpaced growth in the number of golfers in recent years. New golf course construction has steadily declined since 2001, due to the acknowledgment of overbuilding in certain markets and fewer residential developers building golf courses to aid in housing sales. In addition to fewer new courses being built, more golf course closings have occurred in the past few years than historically experienced. A resurgence in development of new courses or additional decreases in the average number of golfers per course could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Conversely, golf course overbuilding in certain markets could eventually benefit us, as owners with less financial resources and management experience may be forced to liquidate their properties at discounted prices.
In the operation of our facilities, we compete on the basis of our reputation to deliver value through the quality of the facility and quality of services provided to our members and guests. We believe we compete favorably with respect to these factors. Our Associate Clubs Program with tiered membership levels, allows members of a club in one market to utilize our clubs in different markets, thus enhancing the value of club membership. Our significant portfolio of facilities allows our members to enjoy access to a large number of diverse types of clubs in a wide geographic region. We believe this program affords us a competitive advantage over competitors that do not maintain similar programs and over other competitors that have similar programs, but fewer facilities.
Employees
As of December 27, 2005, we employed approximately 11,100 full-time and 7,200 part-time employees in our operations. The success of our business is dependent in part on our ability to attract and retain experienced management and other employees on economic terms. We believe that our employees represent an important asset; however, we are not dependent upon any single employee, or a small group of employees, whose loss would have a material adverse effect on us. Although we believe that our labor relations are good, increased labor and benefit costs or deterioration in our labor relations could adversely affect our operating results.
Customers
We are not dependent upon a single customer, or a few customers, whose loss would have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2005, there is no customer to which we had sales equal to 10% or more of our consolidated operating revenues.

We continually monitor the performance, composition and characteristics of our portfolio of facilities and actively manage our portfolio through expansions, additions (acquisitions and other investments) and dispositions. We divest a facility when it no longer has strategic value or the potential to contribute to our growth, and an appropriate opportunity for divestiture is available.
Facilities divested also include expired or terminated lease arrangements or management agreements that generally have shorter terms than joint venture agreements or other forms of ownership. We generally include a termination clause in our management agreements which impose a financial penalty, paid to us by the managed owner, to discourage early termination of management agreements.
Our properties are located throughout the U.S. and primarily in Australia and Mexico internationally. In the U.S., a significant portion of our properties are located in Texas, California, Florida and the Southeastern U.S. Due to our concentration of golf facilities in these markets, our operating and financial performance is subject to the regional weather patterns and changes in economic conditions in these areas. See Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results – Seasonality of Demand; Fluctuations in Quarterly Results.” For a complete list of our facilities, see Annex A – “List of Facilities.”
We operate country club and golf facilities, business and sports clubs and resorts through sole ownership, partial ownership and management agreements. With respect to our sole ownership operations, in some cases we own the real property where the facility is operated and in other cases we lease the real property from third parties. The following table summarizes the number of, and reclassifications in, the type of our facilities operated for the periods indicated:

Our various ownership interests in, and other relationships with, the facilities in our portfolio reflect a number of strategic and management considerations. We own the majority of our country club and golf facilities while we lease substantially all of the real property where our business and sports clubs operate. This distinction reflects the fact that a particular piece of real property such as a golf course can be essential to the operation of a golf facility and, therefore, it is generally in our interest to own or have a long-term management or lease contract for such property. A business club facility, on the other hand, generally can be located in any one of a number of locations and moved from one location to another as long as it remains convenient to its members. Therefore, we believe it is generally not necessary for us to have a long-term interest in the properties where our business and sports clubs are located. Our focus on adding management deals is reflected in our 2004 and 2005 additions.
For our leased facilities, including our corporate offices in Dallas, Texas, we generally pay a monthly base rent, as well as charges for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and various other items. In some cases, we must also pay a percentage of gross receipts or positive net cash flow. In most instances, we have full authority over the operation of the leased facilities, except in some cases where the owner remains responsible for major structural repairs or for property insurance or real estate taxes.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are subject to certain pending or threatened litigation and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of such legal proceedings and other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, after review and consultation with legal counsel, we believe that any potential liability from these matters would not materially affect our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
During the fourth quarter of 2005, no matter was submitted to a vote of security holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

Part II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
There is currently no public market or publicly available quotations for our common stock. In connection with the Amended Plan, we have engaged an independent financial advisory firm, Houlihan Lokey Howard and Zukin Financial Advisors, Inc., to render a semi-annual opinion on the fair market value of our common stock at the end of our second quarter and fiscal year. This fair market value is based upon a multiple of our recurring cash flows from operations, with certain exceptions for specific assets, including certain long-term investments valued at the lower of cost or market. Under this arrangement, the stock valuation process is independent of our Board of Directors and management. The most recent appraised value of our common stock was $12.91 per share at June 30, 2005.
At our option, we have historically repurchased stock from shareholders when offered for sale to us on a limited basis. The Stockholders Agreement with The Cypress Group L.L.C. (see Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Equity”) limits our stock repurchases, without their prior authorization, to $2.5 million per year from Nancy Dedman, Robert H. Dedman, Jr., Patricia Dedman Dietz, and the Dedman Foundation and related trusts in total, $5.0 million per year from certain charitable and non-profit organizations, and $2.5 million per year from all other shareholder groups.
As a means of providing liquidity to the trustees of the Amended Plan, we have provided the trustees a limited put right (the Redemption Right) to cause us to redeem common stock, held in trust on behalf of the Amended Plan, at the most recent appraised fair market value as necessary, in the event the trust does not have adequate resources, to meet the following requirements: (1) to fund a participant’s distribution in cash, (2) to diversify a participant’s account in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(28), (3) to pay expenses incurred by the trustees, and (4) to comply with directions from the plan administrator. The Redemption Right has never been exercised by the Amended Plan. We do not expect that the Redemption Right will be exercised in 2006, but if it is, we could be required to repurchase shares of common stock. The Redemption Right is not limited by the Stockholders Agreement with the Cypress Group L.L.C.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. Management expects to continue its policy of retaining earnings for use in our business, and accordingly, does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As of March 27, 2006, there were approximately 320 holders of record of our common stock.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Item 6 — “Selected Financial Data,” Item 7A — “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” and Item 8 — “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
Overview
General
We are a holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware that, through our subsidiaries, owns and operates premier golf and business clubs and destination golf resorts. 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 our corporate services. We operate our properties through sole ownership, partial ownership (including joint venture interests), operating leases and management agreements.
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are presented on a 52/53 week fiscal year, with the first three quarters consisting of 12 weeks each and the fourth quarter consisting of either 16 weeks (2003, 2004 and 2005) or 17 weeks.
Our revenues consist primarily of revenues derived from membership dues, food and beverage operations, golf operations, lodging, and recognition of deferred membership fees and deposits. All revenue sources are recognized in the period earned, which is generally at the time of sale or when the service is provided. See “Membership Fees and Deposits” below. Operating costs and expenses primarily consist of employee compensation, food and beverage costs and general and administrative costs. All operating costs are expensed as incurred.
The following table presents our consolidated operating revenues attributable to each of our business segments for fiscal years 2003, 2004 and 2005 (dollars in thousands):

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires us to use estimates and assumptions to determine certain of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base these estimates and assumptions upon the best information available to us at the time the estimates or assumptions are made. Our estimates and assumptions could change materially as conditions both within and beyond our control change. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from our estimates. The most significant estimates made by our management include estimated lives used to amortize membership fees and deposits, impairment of long-lived assets and realization of our deferred income tax assets. The following is a discussion of our critical accounting policies and the related management estimates and assumptions necessary in determining the value of related assets or liabilities. A full description of all of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Our management has discussed the development and calculation of the following critical accounting policies and estimates with the audit committee of our board of directors and the audit committee has reviewed our disclosure of them in this section.
Membership Fees and Deposits. At the majority of our private clubs, members are expected to pay an initiation fee or deposit upon their acceptance as a member to the club. These initiation fees and deposits vary in amount based on a variety of factors such as the supply and demand for our services in each particular market, number of golf courses or breadth of amenities available to the members and the prestige of having the right to membership in the club. In general, membership fees are not refundable, but membership deposits are refundable after a number of years.
The majority of membership deposits are not refundable until a fixed number of years (generally 30) after the date of acceptance of a member, and are expected to cover our cost of providing services to the member over the course of the individual’s membership. Because of the refundable nature of our deposits and the fact that few of our clubs have membership caps, we believe that revenue related to deposits should be recognized over the average expected life of an active membership. This position is supported by our prior correspondence with the SEC on this matter in 1998. For membership deposits, the difference between the amount paid by the member and the present value of the refund obligation is deferred and recognized as membership fees and deposits revenue on a straight-line basis over the average expected life of an active membership, which was six years for golf and resort memberships and five years for business and sports club memberships through 2005. The present value of the refund obligation is recorded as a membership deposit liability in our consolidated balance sheet and accretes over the nonrefundable term using the effective interest method with an interest rate defined as our weighted average borrowing rate adjusted to reflect a 30-year time frame. The accretion is included in interest expense. The majority of our membership fees are not refundable and are deferred and recognized over the average expected life of an active membership.
The calculation of the average expected life of an active membership is a critical estimate in the recognition of revenues and expenses associated with membership fees and deposits. Average expected life of an active membership is calculated separately for business and sports clubs and country clubs and golf and resort facilities combined by taking the inverse of the total number of members lost in a particular period divided by the total number of members at the end of the prior period. This base-level calculation is performed at the end of each fiscal year, and a 10-year rolling average of each year’s data is used to determine the final average expected life of an active membership to be used in the upcoming year. Periods in which attrition rates differ significantly from enrollment rates could have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements by decreasing or increasing the average expected life of an active membership, which in turn would affect the length of time over which we recognize revenues and expenses associated with our membership fees and deposits. Because membership fees and deposits generally have minimal direct incremental costs associated with them, a change in our average expected life of an active membership would likely materially affect our operations and EBITDA.
At the end of 2005, the 10-year rolling average expected life of an active membership for country clubs and golf and resort facilities combined increased to seven years. This change will be effective at the beginning of fiscal year 2006 and has no effect on the amount of revenue that will ultimately be recognized. It will change the amount of revenue that will be recognized in 2006 as new sales will be amortized over an additional year. There was no change to the business and sports clubs 10-year rolling average expected life of an active membership.
For the year ended December 27, 2005, membership fees and deposits of $27.1 million for country club and golf facilities, $5.9 million for resorts, $2.2 million for business and sports clubs and $0.2 million for other operations and services, respectively, were recognized as revenue in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
15
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. In accordance with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, our long-lived assets to be held and used and to be disposed of are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment charges are recorded as a component of operating income or loss in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
For assets held for sale, fair value is determined using information on known purchase price commitments from potential buyers, less estimated incremental direct costs to sell the property in question. Changes in purchase prices due to market conditions, a potential buyer’s due diligence process or other factors beyond our control such as the emergence of unanticipated selling costs can materially affect estimates of fair value and the amount of impairment charges recorded in a particular period.
For assets to be held and used, we perform a recoverability test to determine if the future undiscounted cash flows over our expected holding period for the property exceed the carrying amount of the assets of the property in question. If the recoverability test is not met, fair value is determined by comparing the carrying value of the property to its future discounted cash flows using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Future cash flows of each property are determined using management’s projections of the performance of a given property based on its past performance and expected future performance given changes in marketplace, local operations and other factors both within our control and out of our control. Additionally, we review current property appraisals when available to assess recoverability. Actual results that differ from these estimates can generate material differences in impairment charges recorded, and ultimately, net income or loss in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and the carrying value of properties on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
For the year ended December 27, 2005, impairment charges of $7.4 million for country club and golf facilities, $0.8 million for other operations and services and $0.7 million for business and sports clubs, respectively, were recognized as a component of operating income (loss) in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Valuation Allowance for Deferred Income Tax Assets. Our valuation allowance relates to the deferred tax assets arising from our federal income tax net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards. Historically, our valuation allowance has been evaluated based on our projections of future taxable income and capital gains over the periods in which the net operating and capital losses will be carried forward combined with tax planning strategies. We have recorded taxable losses in each of the prior five fiscal years not including the year ended December 27, 2005. In accordance with guidance in SFAS No. 109 and industry practice, because we have a pattern of taxable losses, we can not overcome that pattern and assume that we will have future taxable income. Therefore, we must use more objective evidence in our evaluation, basing our analysis solely on carrybacks and future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, as well as certain tax planning strategies. In 2005, we had taxable income of approximately $86.6 million, which included a capital gain from the sale of land at one of our properties. This allowed us to utilize our entire $24.4 million gross capital loss carryforward and approximately $62.2 million of our gross NOL balance which were both previously reserved in our valuation allowance. In addition, $131.3 million of our gross NOL balance expired unused at the end of 2005 but resulted in no charge to operations as it was fully reserved in our valuation allowance. Our capital loss and NOL carryforward balances were able to shelter 100% of the regular tax liability created by our current year taxable income. In addition, we were able to shelter the maximum allowed alternative minimum tax, or AMT, liability with available AMT NOL carryforward balances. Our current year activity had minimal impact on the net realizable value of our NOL balance. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results – Income Taxes.”

2005 U.S. Open
During the week of June 13-19, 2005, we hosted the U.S. Open at Pinehurst. For the year ended December 27, 2005, we generated approximately $50.5 million in operating revenue and $12.6 million in operating income from merchandise sales, ticket sales and rental of corporate hospitality tents related to the U.S. Open. The results of operations from the U.S. Open are primarily reflected in our resorts segment; however, a portion of the expenditures were incurred by corporate services and are reflected in other operations and services. In addition to the effect on current year, we also incurred $3.3 million of expenses related to the U.S. Open in the three previous years for planning, maintenance and preparation. Therefore, we generated approximately $9.3 million of cumulative operating income from hosting the 2005 U.S. Open.
Aliso Viejo Land Sale
In December 2005, we completed a sale of land to be used for the development of a master-planned residential community in the city of Aliso Viejo, California. As part of our agreement with the city of Aliso Viejo, we will manage a city-owned community conference center, an aquatic facility, and a park on the land which will be funded by the city and the purchaser of the land. In addition, we committed to develop a new clubhouse at Aliso Viejo, which we will own and operate along with a reconfigured 18-hole golf course. We received net cash proceeds of approximately $85 million after funding required escrows related to development of the clubhouse and paying various costs. The proceeds from this sale have been used to increase our cash reserves. The transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $46 million that is reflected on our Consolidated Statements of Operations in gain/(loss) on disposals and impairment of assets. Additionally, we have $10 million in deferred gain related to our commitment to develop the new clubhouse. This sale decreased real estate held for sale by $23 million in 2005.
We analyze operating results and manage our business segments using the following concepts and definitions:
We employ “same store” analysis techniques for a variety of management purposes. By our definition, facilities are evaluated yearly and considered “same store” once they have been fully operational for one year. Developing facilities and divested facilities are not classified as same store; however, facilities held for sale and held and used are considered same store until they are divested. This distinction between developing and same store facilities allows us to separately analyze the operating results of our established and new facilities. We believe this approach provides an effective analysis tool because it allows us to assess the results of our core operating strategies by tracking the performance of our same store facilities without the distortions that would be caused by the inclusion of developing properties. Facilities divested during a period are removed from the same store classification for all periods presented. We analyze membership and lodging data on a same store basis as well, as it is not distorted by divestitures and we believe it provides a clearer picture of trends in our continuing operations.
Operating revenues are comprised mainly of revenues from membership dues, golf, food and beverage and lodging, as well as the revenues recognized from membership deposits and fees. All revenue sources are recognized in the period earned, which is generally at the time of sale or when the service is provided. Operating expenses include payroll and related expenses, other fees and expenses and rent. All operating costs are expensed as incurred.
We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on each segment’s EBITDA. We also use EBITDA to monitor our property-level and overall performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. 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 11 of the Notes to 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.
As of our reporting for the period 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 recording elimination entries at the consolidated level instead of allocating them to each segment and 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.

Year Ended December 27, 2005 Compared to Year Ended December 28, 2004
The impact from hosting the 2005 U.S. Open is described in detail in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations—2005 U.S. Open. All discussion in Consolidated Operations—Continuing Operations and Segment and Other Information—Resorts will exclude the impact of the U.S. Open in order to discuss the year over year analysis on a more comparable basis.
Consolidated Operations – Continuing Operations
Operating revenues increased in all three operating divisions – country club and golf facilities, resorts and business and sports clubs – ending the year at $977.6 million, an improvement of more than 4% over 2004. Country club and golf facilities operating revenue increased more than 4% over 2004, with the most significant contributions in membership dues and food and beverage revenue. Resorts operating revenues increased more than 4% over 2004 primarily related to increases in golf operations, food and beverage, lodging and retail sales at Pinehurst and Barton Creek offset by decreases in food and beverage and lodging at The Homestead. Business and sports clubs operating revenue increased 4% over 2004 primarily due to increased membership dues and food and beverage revenue.
Operating costs and expenses for country club and golf facilities, resorts and business and sports clubs generally increased as a result of costs related to increased operating revenues. Country club and golf facilities operating costs and expenses primarily increased in food and beverage, golf operations and golf course maintenance. Resorts operating costs and expenses primarily increased in lodging, retail and golf course maintenance. Business and sports clubs operating costs and expenses primarily increased in food and beverage operations.
Operating income increased in all three operating segments. The Aliso Viejo land sale resulted in a $46 million gain to operating income. Operating income for country club and golf facilities reflected improved margins in food and beverage operations resulting from better management of cost of goods sold and payroll costs offset by decreased margins in golf operations due to increased costs for golf course maintenance. Resorts operating income improved in golf operations, lodging and retail primarily due to monitoring payroll and payroll related costs. Business and sports clubs operating income improved primarily due to increased volume with a relatively flat food and beverage margin.
Consolidated Operations—Discontinued Operations
The years ended December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005 include five properties divested in 2004, two properties divested in 2005 and one property currently held for sale in discontinued operations. Operating revenues for these properties decreased from $17.8 million in 2004 to $10.0 million in 2005. Net income (loss) from these properties improved $2.0 million from 2004 to 2005 due to operating losses from the entities divested in 2004. In accordance with SFAS 144, depreciation expense is not recorded beginning with the quarter a property is classified as held for sale.

Continuing Operations. Total operating revenues increased comparing 2004 to 2005 for same store country club and golf facilities primarily due to increased membership dues and food and beverage revenues. Membership dues increased 4% as a result of price increases and increased member count. Food and beverage revenues increased nearly 6% as a result of increased volume, partially due to clubs investing additional time and resources to selling and pre-booking private party events in 2005, offset by a decrease in check average. Golf revenues have increased due to price increases for green fees and cart rentals offset by a decrease in rounds played primarily due to heavy rains on the West coast early in the year.
Segment EBITDA increased comparing 2004 to 2005 for same store country club and golf facilities as a result of increased operating revenues, partially offset by a related increase in operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased due to inflation as well as increased spending on golf course maintenance to maintain the high level of our course conditions even in a time of decreased usage. The increase in costs is primarily covered by our dues pricing increases. Food and beverage operating margins improved slightly after a very slow start to the year due to improved cost of goods and management of payroll costs. Depreciation and amortization increased from $50.0 in 2004 to $50.7 million in 2005.
Discontinued Operations. The years ended December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005 include one managed property divested in 2004 and two properties divested in 2005 in discontinued operations.

Continuing Operations. Total operating revenues increased comparing 2004 to 2005 for same store resorts primarily due to higher occupancy, average daily rate and spending at Pinehurst and Barton Creek. Pinehurst revenue increased primarily due to a $15 increase in average daily rate and increased spending on golf and retail. Rounds played on our higher fee premium courses increased over 2004. Additionally, occupancy increased slightly at Pinehurst. Barton Creek revenue increased slightly due to a large increase in occupancy and a $6 increase in average daily rate offset by a decrease in spending. Homestead revenues decreased as spending and average daily rate were consistent comparing 2004 to 2005 but occupancy decreased.
Segment EBITDA improved comparing 2004 to 2005 for same store resorts. Pinehurst improved in golf operations, lodging and retail sales primarily due to improved management of payroll and other expenses offset by a slight decrease in food and beverage due to higher cost of goods sold. Barton Creek improved in food and beverage, lodging and retail sales primarily due to improved payroll management. Homestead improved in golf operations offset by a decrease in food and beverage, lodging and retail sales as a result of decreased occupancy. Depreciation and amortization increased slightly from $16.3 million in 2004 to $16.4 million in 2005.

(1) | Excludes intercompany consulting and support fees of $10.9 million and $13.5 million for Same Store and $11.4 million and $13.6 million for Total in 2004 and 2005, respectively. |
Continuing Operations. Total operating revenues increased comparing 2004 to 2005 at same store business and sports clubs primarily due to increased food and beverage private party revenues and membership dues. Food and beverage private party revenues increased nearly 6% due to an increase in both volume and pricing. Membership dues increased more than 3% primarily due to a dues price increase in early 2005 partially offset by a decrease in member count.
Segment EBITDA increased at same store business and sports clubs comparing 2004 to 2005 due to increased revenue partially offset by a related increase in operating costs and expenses, primarily food and beverage costs. Food and beverage margins remained relatively flat when comparing 2004 to 2005 due to a slight improvement in cost of goods and payroll management offset by other expenses. Depreciation and amortization decreased from $10.9 million in 2004 to $9.1 million in 2005 due to the acceleration of depreciation in prior year related to leasehold improvements resulting in several fully depreciated assets.
Discontinued Operations. The years ended December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005 include four properties divested in 2004 and one property currently held for sale in discontinued operations.
Other Operations and Services – Continuing Operations
Other operations and services consist primarily of real estate operations and our corporate services. Revenues increased from $13.6 million in 2004 to $14.3 million in 2005 primarily due to fees we receive from third-party developers based on a percentage of their real estate sales. Lot sales decreased slightly from $4.5 million in 2004 to $3.6 million in 2005.
Operating loss from other operations and services increased from $50.5 million in 2004 to $51.6 million in 2005. The change was due to revenue increases mentioned above as well as a rebate of previously incurred costs and a favorable legal settlement related to property taxes offset by increased insurance costs related to higher claims, a penalty and interest payment made to the IRS related to payroll taxes and the impairment of our investment in a consulting company. Additionally in 2005, we incurred approximately $1 million of expenses in corporate services related to the hosting of the 2005 U.S. Open.

Year Ended December 28, 2004 Compared to Year Ended December 30, 2003
Consolidated Operations – Continuing Operations
Operating revenues increased in all three operating divisions – country club and golf facilities, resorts and business and sports clubs – ending the year at $938.8 million, an improvement of more than 5%. Country club and golf facilities operating revenue increased 5% over 2003, with the most significant contributions in membership dues and food and beverage revenue. Resorts operating revenue increased 7% compared to 2003 primarily due to increases in food and beverage, golf operations, lodging and other recreation revenue at all three resorts. Business and sports clubs operating revenue increased 4% primarily due to food and beverage revenue as well as membership dues.
Operating costs and expenses for country club and golf facilities, resorts and business and sports clubs increased consistent with revenue increases previously mentioned. Operating costs and expenses for other operations and services improved primarily due to a lack of recurrence of significant vacation and litigation charges that occurred in 2003 as well as reductions in payroll and payroll related costs, general and administrative, other miscellaneous and insurance.
Operating income increased for country club and golf facilities and resorts operating divisions while business and sports clubs decreased slightly. Operating income for country club and golf reflected improved margins in food and beverage offset partially by decreased margins for golf operations. Resorts operating income reflected improved margins in golf operations and retail sales offset by slight decreases in food and beverage and lodging margins.
Discontinued Operations
The years ended December 30, 2003 and December 28, 2004 include 19 properties divested in 2003, five properties divested in 2004, two properties divested in 2005 and one property currently held for sale in discontinued operations. Operating revenues for these properties decreased from $30.9 million in 2003 to $17.8 million in 2004. Net income (loss) decreased $6.7 million from 2003 to 2004.

Continuing Operations. Total operating revenues increased from 2003 to 2004 for same store country club and golf facilities primarily due to increased food and beverage revenues, membership dues and golf operations revenues. Food and beverage revenues for both a la carte and private party increased. A la carte improved 15% as a result of increased activity and a higher check average while an increase in private party activity was slightly offset by a decrease in check average resulting in a 8% increase. Membership dues increased 4% as a result of price increases and an increase in Signature Gold activity. Golf operations increased slightly due to higher paid rounds and cart rental fees as a result of the increased activity at our clubs. The impact of numerous hurricanes and heavy rains significantly decreased the number of rounds played in 2004.
Segment EBITDA increased from 2003 to 2004 for same store country club and golf facilities as a result of increased operating revenues, partially offset by a related increase in operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased primarily due to the increased usage at our clubs which resulted in increased food and beverage and golf operations expenses. Overall, food and beverage operating profit improved when comparing 2003 to 2004 while golf operating margin decreased due to lower rounds played caused by inclement weather.
Discontinued Operations. The years ended December 30, 2003 and December 28, 2004 include 13 properties divested in 2003, one managed property divested in 2004 and two properties divested in 2005 in discontinued operations.

Continuing Operations. Total operating revenues increased comparing 2003 to 2004 for same store resorts primarily due to increased food and beverage, lodging, other recreation and golf operations. Food and beverage a la carte and private party revenues increased 6% and 16%, respectively, as a result of higher occupancy and spending by social guests during 2004 at all of the resorts. A la carte revenues were mainly driven by higher occupancy rates while private party revenues had a significant increase in check average. Lodging revenues increased 7% as a result of increased room nights and higher average room rates from the prior year, primarily at Barton Creek. Other recreation revenues increased 10% as a result of increased spa revenues at The Homestead and Pinehurst as well as increased ski revenues at The Homestead. Golf revenues increased 8% primarily due to increased play on the premium courses at Pinehurst.
Segment EBITDA increased from 2003 to 2004 for same store resorts due to increased revenue discussed above offset by a related increase in operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased due to higher food and beverage expenses related to the higher occupancy and spending mentioned above at all of the resorts as well as increased wages at The Homestead due to staffing of temporary employees. Other recreation operating expenses increased primarily due to increased usage at The Homestead related to spa and ski activities. Lodging expenses increased primarily at The Homestead due to increased payroll costs from the staffing of temporary employees. Golf operations expenses increased due to higher maintenance costs at all of the resorts.

Continuing Operations. Total operating revenues increased comparing 2003 to 2004 at same store business and sports clubs primarily due to increased food and beverage revenues and membership dues. Food and beverage a la carte revenues increased 7% due to pricing increases while increases in private party revenues of 6% were driven by volume. Membership dues increased more than 2% primarily due to the impact of expanding the Signature Gold program being offered at the business clubs in 2004. Signature Gold dues increased $1.6 million or more than 24% from 2003 to 2004.
Segment EBITDA increased at same store business and sports clubs from 2003 to 2004 due to an increase in operating costs and expenses primarily related to higher food and beverage sales. Operating margins were positively impacted by improved food and beverage margins due to expense controls in purchasing and operations. Rent expense increased $1.3 million due to strong operating results affecting contingent rent payments.
Discontinued Operations. The years ended December 30, 2003 and December 28, 2004 include six properties divested in 2003, four properties divested in 2004 and one property currently held for sale in discontinued operations.
Other Operations and Services – Continuing Operations
Other operations and services consist primarily of real estate operations and our corporate services. Included in results for other operations and services for the year ended December 28, 2004 are lot sales at one of our real estate operations of $2.3 million. We also recorded a charge of $5.2 million to cover the estimated settlement of an outstanding lawsuit related to one of our former properties (we previously charged $1.0 million related to this lawsuit) as well as established an escrow of $5.7 million. We settled the lawsuit for $5.9 million. The escrow was released and $0.3 million remaining accrual was reversed. We also received a $5.0 million ($3.4 million net of legal costs) recovery of costs in a matter related to this lawsuit that was settled out of court and recorded as a recovery of previously accrued expenses. During the year ended December 30, 2003, we recorded charges totaling $4.1 million related to three lawsuits to cover settlement charges (see Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and $5.9 million to accrue for vacation earned by employees. In 2003 we also recorded a charge of $1.2 million for severance related to downsizing and $1.7 million additional reserves related to health insurance.
Operating loss from other operations and services improved from 2003 to 2004 primarily due to a lack of recurrence of significant vacation and litigation charges that occurred in 2003 as well as decreases in payroll and payroll related costs, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization, other miscellaneous and insurance. Payroll and payroll related costs decreased due to a corporate and regional reorganization that led to reductions in personnel during 2003 and early 2004. General and administrative expenses decreased primarily related to the implementation of cost cutting initiatives during 2003 showing positive results in 2004. Fewer sales in our real estate operations led to a reduction of other miscellaneous expenses. Depreciation and amortization decreased as several fixed assets became fully depreciated in 2004 and insurance costs decreased due to a lower number of health claims.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary goal as it relates to liquidity and capital resources is to attain and retain the right level of debt and cash to maintain our core properties, fund expansions at our current properties, and be poised for external growth in the marketplace. During the last few years, our focus has been on strengthening our cash position and refinancing and reducing our debt in order to support these goals. Our cash position has increased to $189 million as of December 27, 2005 compared to $96 million as of December 28, 2004. The primary reason for the increase was the Aliso Viejo land sale from which we received $85 million in net cash proceeds. Our debt was refinanced in 2003 and has been paid down to $672 million as of December 27, 2005. We have paid down approximately $47 million since December 28, 2004.
Historically, we have financed our operations and cash needs primarily through cash flows from operations, debt and, to a lesser extent, proceeds from divestitures. We anticipate using cash flow from operations in 2006 principally to fund planned capital replacement expenditures, repay debt and build cash reserves. We expect to use our cash reserves in 2006 to grow and expand our business through a combination of improvements and expansions of existing facilities, on which we spent approximately $78 million in 2005. Based on our current projections, we believe our current assets and cash flow from operations are sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital and operating needs for the next 12 months as well as support our anticipated capital expenditures.
Debt
The majority of our outstanding debt at December 27, 2005 was obtained as a result of major refinancings that took place during 2003. The refinancings resulted in mortgage portfolios which had a combined notional amount of approximately $658 million, including both fixed and variable rate portions. The combined refinancings were comprised of first mortgages on 40 properties and increased borrowings on two existing mortgage loans (see Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Under the provisions of certain of our debt agreements with Textron Financial Corporation (“Textron”), we are required to maintain debt service coverage ratios at both the portfolio and individual property level. Certain of these individual loans have cross-default provisions; therefore, a default on an individual loan triggers a default on the portfolio. As of December 27, 2005, the debt service coverage ratio was below the minimum level for four individual properties participating in the loan, thereby causing the entire loan ($53 million in principal amount) to be in technical default. We cured the noncompliance by obtaining letters of credit totaling $2.7 million.
In early 2006, we amended a loan agreement representing approximately $37 million of debt maturing in 2006 and established a secured $50 million line of credit which will mature in 2010. As a result, we paid down approximately $32 million and transferred the remaining $5 million as an initial draw on the line of credit.
Cash and Cash Flow
Our cash flow from operations was $121 million for the year ended December 27, 2005, an increase of $2 million over 2004. In addition to our daily operating transactions, a key component of our annual operating cash comes from our membership programs. Membership deposits and fees represent advance initiation deposits for the right to become a member. Membership deposits are generally not refundable until a fixed number of years (generally 30 years) after the date of acceptance as a member while membership fees are not refundable. Cash from deposits is used to fund our normal operations. Revenue recognition of these deposits is deferred and amortized as discussed in Item 7 — “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.” We allow new members to defer a portion of the payment of fees and deposits as an incentive for them to join. Although this practice adversely affects the current amount of cash received for fees and deposits, it is subsequently offset through the receipt of recurring membership dues and other revenues received from these members.
We utilize cash to fund operations, maintain our properties, pay down our debt and related interest, and, to a limited extent, buy back company stock. In 2005, we reduced debt by nearly $47 million and increased our cash and cash equivalents by more than $92 million. For 2006, we are considering additional investments in improving and expanding our existing properties or acquiring new properties.
26
Capital Spending
The nature of our business requires us to invest a significant amount of capital in our existing properties to maintain them. For 2005, we expended approximately $68 million in maintenance capital, and we anticipate spending approximately $69 million in 2006 for maintenance capital.
In addition to maintaining our properties, we also spend discretionary capital to expand existing properties and to enter into new business opportunities. Capital expansion funding totaled approximately $10 million in 2005, and we anticipate spending an additional $40 million in 2006 for expansion and improvement projects on clubs and resorts we feel have a high potential for return on investment.
Risks
We believe that we have sufficient and stable funds to allow us to operate our business for the next 12 months as well as evaluate growth opportunities during 2005 and beyond. However, the occurrence of any of the following events might limit our ability to fund operations or provide adequate capital funding:
• | | Lack of compliance with debt covenants – currently our defaults on the Textron note are covered by letters of credit. However, should operations cause adverse results at one or a group of properties, we may need to pay down debt or secure additional financing, which might not be available on favorable terms and conditions or at all. |
• | | Exercise of the limited put right by our ESOP – As a means of providing liquidity to the trustees of the Amended Plan, we have provided the trustees a limited put right (the “Redemption Right”) to cause us to redeem Common Stock, held in trust on behalf of the Amended Plan, at the most recent appraised fair market value as necessary, in the event the trust does not have adequate resources, to meet the following requirements: (1) to fund a participant’s distribution in cash, (2) to diversify a participant’s account in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(28), (3) to pay expenses incurred by the trustees, and (4) to comply with directions from the plan administrator. The Redemption Right has never been exercised by the Amended Plan. We do not expect that the Redemption Right will be exercised in 2006, but if it is, we could be required to repurchase shares of Common Stock. |
• | | Exercise of certain rights by our third party investor – During 1999, we sold 9,375,000 shares of common stock and warrants to acquire 1,012,500 shares of common stock to The Cypress Group. Beginning in December 2004, we are obligated under certain defined conditions to offer to repurchase a portion of their outstanding shares if we are below a defined leverage ratio. This calculation is performed annually on December 1st. Based on the calculation, we were above the stated leverage ratio and were not required to offer to repurchase any shares during 2005. However, if our actual future operating results differ materially from expectations, we could fall below the leverage ratio and would be required to offer to repurchase a portion of their shares of Common Stock. We do not anticipate this occurring in 2006. |
• | | Natural disaster or catastrophic events - Events out of our control could cause significant operational implications and/or an inability to obtain financing. |
We do not anticipate any of the above situations occurring. Additionally, these risks are somewhat mitigated due to the fact that a significant portion of our capital expansions and new growth spending is discretionary. However, we cannot assure you that these events will not occur.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
We are not aware of any off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 27, 2005. The following tables summarize our total contractual obligations and other commercial commitments and their respective payment or commitment expiration dates by year as of December 27, 2005 (dollars in thousands):

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) | Represents the estimated fair value of membership deposits based on the discounted value of future maturities using our incremental borrowing rate. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The present value of the membership deposit obligation is recorded as a liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheet and accretes over the nonrefundable term using the effective interest method. At December 27, 2005, the gross amount of non-defeased membership deposit obligations was $518 million. |
(2) | Consists of insurance reserves for general liability and workers’ compensation of $15.6 million, of which $6.2 million is classified as current. The remainder of our other long-term obligations consists of deferred revenue and other non-cash items which do not affect our consolidated cash position. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. |

(1) | Letters of credit are primarily related to secure future estimated claims for workers’ compensation and general liability insurance. Our commitment amount for insurance-related letters of credit is gradually reduced as obligations under the policies are paid. See Note 2 on the Contractual Obligations table above regarding reserves for workers’ compensation and general liability insurance. |
(2) | We have provided the trustees of the Amended Plan a limited put right to cause us to redeem our common stock at the most recent appraised fair market value as necessary to meet certain liquidity requirements. The Amended Plan owns 4.4% of our outstanding common stock with a redemption value of $53 million as of December 27, 2005. The Redemption Right has never been exercised by the Amended Plan and we do not expect that it will be exercised in the immediate future. See Note 12 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. |
(3) | Excludes future common stock repurchase obligations under our Stockholders Agreement with The Cypress Group as they are contingent upon certain events occurring which are not certain and cannot be estimated at this time. |
(4) | We have $2.7 million in letters of credit in order to cure a default of a portion of our debt with Textron. |
(5) | We have capital commitments at certain of our country clubs related to future construction or capital contributions after the developer has completed construction. Included in these capital commitments is $5 million which is reflected in our prepaids balance on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 27, 2005. |

Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results
Enrollment and Retention of Members
Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain members at our clubs and maintain or increase usage of our facilities. Historically, we have experienced varying levels of membership enrollment and attrition rates and, in certain areas, decreased levels of usage of our facilities. Although we devote substantial efforts to ensuring that members and guests are satisfied, many of the factors affecting club membership and facility usage are beyond our control and 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 position.
Changes in membership levels and facilities usage can be caused by a number of factors. In the past, federal tax law changes in the treatment of business entertainment and real estate expenses have adversely affected general industry demand and our membership and facilities usage. There can be no assurance that similar changes that would have an adverse effect on our revenues will not occur in the future. A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from discretionary or leisure spending by our members and guests and such spending can be particularly sensitive to changes in general economic conditions or changes in the federal tax laws. A significant adverse shift in general economic conditions, whether regional or national, would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Changes in consumer tastes and preferences, particularly those affecting the popularity of golf and private dining, and other social and demographic trends, could also have an adverse effect on us.
We have a program at our clubs targeted at decreasing our future attrition rate by increasing member satisfaction and usage. This program, known as Member Connect, takes a proactive approach to getting newly enrolled members involved in activities and groups that go beyond the physical club, in addition to granting new members a small number of vouchers for meals and other items in order to increase their familiarity with their club’s amenities. We believe that by aiding the process of assimilating new members into their clubs’ membership we will ultimately be able to reduce our attrition rate and achieve net gains in the number of members. However, there can be no assurance that this initiative will be successful or that the incremental costs of implementing such a program will not exceed its benefits.
Competition in Our Industry
The level of competition in our businesses varies from region to region and is subject to change as existing facilities are renovated or new facilities are developed. An increase in the number or quality of similar clubs and other facilities in a particular region could significantly increase competition, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Additionally, over the last decade, construction of public golf courses has accelerated significantly and we expect that, in the short to medium term, the increase in supply of public golf courses will exceed the increase in demand for such facilities. Our results of operations also could be affected by a number of additional competitive factors, including the availability of, and demand for, alternate forms of recreation. See Item 1 – “Business – Operations – Competition.”
Impairment of Assets
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” in 2001 which requires, among other things, that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For the year ended December 27, 2005, we recorded impairment losses of $8.9 million relating to certain of our assets. This impairment loss is reported as a component of operating income (loss) in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. If events or circumstances change in the future, additional impairment losses could be recorded.
Our operations and ventures consist almost entirely of golf-related and business club facilities. Accordingly, we are subject to the risks associated with holding investments that are concentrated in two specific segments of the hospitality industry. A decline in the popularity of golf-related services or business club services, such as private dining, could adversely affect the value of our holdings, and could make it difficult to sell facilities. Our real estate holdings (including our long-term leaseholds) are subject to risks typically associated with investments in real estate. Investments in real estate are relatively non-liquid and, therefore, limit our ability to vary our portfolio of facilities in response to changes in industry and general economic conditions.
29
Environmental Regulation
We have policies in place designed to keep our facilities in compliance with current federal, state and local environmental laws and laws relating to access for disabled persons. We are not subject to any recurring costs associated with managing hazardous materials or pollution. We do not believe that we will incur expenses for infrequent or non-recurring cleanup, based upon our due diligence inspection, employee training, standards of operations and on-site assessments performed and maintained for each facility. However, some of our resorts and golf courses contain or have contained underground storage tanks, or USTs, for storing fuel. The majority of the USTs have been replaced with federal and state approved concrete lined steel, double walled aboveground tanks. We have less than ten USTs that we are currently in the process of replacing with above ground contained storage systems or retrofitting with the new detection and spill prevention equipment. We do not believe that any remediation will be required. We are permitted under various state laws to recover a portion of our costs of remediation through various state superfunds created to address environmental cleanups. We are not subject to any remediation mandates related to previously contaminated sites. See Item 1 — “Business — Operations — Government Regulation.”
Joint Ventures and Collaborative Agreements
We partially own 14 properties in partnership with other entities and may in the future enter into further joint venture or other collaborative arrangements related to additional properties. Our investments in these joint ventures may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not otherwise present in our business, including the risk that our partner may become bankrupt, the impact on our ability to sell or dispose of our property as a result of buy/sell rights that may be imposed by the joint venture agreement, and the risk that our partner may have economic or other interests or goals that are inconsistent with our interests and goals and that they may be in a position to veto actions which may be in our best interests.
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 clubs 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 fiscal quarters each consist of 12 weeks. As a result of these factors, we usually generate a disproportionate share of our revenues and cash flows 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.
Our results can also be affected by non-seasonal and severe weather patterns. Periods of extremely hot, cold or rainy weather in a given region can be expected to reduce our golf-related revenue for that region. Similarly, extended periods of low rainfall can affect the cost and availability of water needed to irrigate our golf courses and can adversely affect results for facilities in the region effected. Keeping turf grass conditions at a satisfactory level to attract play on our golf courses requires significant amounts of water. Our ability to irrigate a course could be adversely impacted by a drought or other water shortage. A severe drought affecting a large number of properties could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Conversely, floods caused by extreme rains may interrupt golf play at effected properties and result in property losses that may not be fully insured. We carry comprehensive liability, fire, flood and extended insurance coverage, as applicable, on all of our properties. We believe that that the policy specifications and insured limits are customary for similar properties and all of our existing golf clubs, resorts and business clubs are insured within industry standards. There are, however, losses of a catastrophic nature, such as those caused by wars, terrorist attacks or earthquakes, which may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should an uninsured loss occur, we could lose both our invested capital in and anticipated profits from that property.
Inflation
Inflation has not had a significant impact on us. As operating costs and expenses increase, we generally attempt to offset the adverse effects of increased costs by increasing prices in line with industry standards. However, we are subject to the risks that our costs of operations will increase and we will be unable to offset those increases through increased dues, fees or room rates without adversely affecting demand. In addition to inflation, factors that could cause operating costs to rise include, among other things, increased labor costs, lease payments at our leased facilities, energy costs and property taxes.
30
Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains “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 “Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results.”
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost will be measured based on fair value on the grant date of the equity instruments issued or marked to market each period for the liability instruments issued. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service for that award. This new standard will be effective for us beginning in our first quarter of 2006. We believe the impact of this standard will cause an increase to payroll expense of approximately $3.5 million ($2.3 million net of tax) for the year ending 2006.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions”, which clarifies accounting treatment for timeshare transactions and related costs. SFAS No. 152 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not believe the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. SFAS No. 153 is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,” provided an exception to its basic measurement principle (fair value) for exchanges of similar productive assets. Under APB Opinion No. 29, an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset was based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished. SFAS No. 153 eliminates this exception and replaces it with an exception of exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. We will apply the requirements of SFAS No. 153 on any future nonmonetary exchange transactions.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (FIN 47). FIN 47 addresses the recording and reporting of asset retirement obligations if removal of materials such as asbestos insulation, lead paint PCBs, or other material covered by environmental regulations, is required. The adoption of FIN 47 did not have an effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 29 and FASB Statement No. 3”. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. APB Opinion No. 20 “Accounting Changes”, previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. We will apply the requirements of SFAS No. 154 on any future accounting changes or error corrections.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to interest rate changes and foreign currency fluctuations. Variable interest rates on our refinanced mortgage debt are based on the 30-day LIBOR rate plus an incremental margin (between 275 and 375 basis points) and the U.S. Prime rate plus an incremental margin of 100 basis points. During 2005, the variable U.S. Prime rate related to these facilities averaged approximately 6.50%. At March 22, 2006, the 30-day LIBOR and U.S. Prime rates were 4.80% and 7.50%, respectively. Interest rate floors in place on these loans (4.25% and 5.75% for certain LIBOR-based loans and 5.00% for Prime-based loans, including applicable incremental margins) did not effect these market rates throughout fiscal year 2005. Interest payments on approximately 61% 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.
The table below presents the principal amounts, weighted average interest rates as of December 27, 2005 and fair values required by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes of our outstanding debt (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2006 | | 2007 | | 2008 | | 2009 | | 2010 | | Thereafter | | Total | | | Fair Value |
Fixed rate debt | | $ | 16,696 | | $ | 14,016 | | $ | 36,789 | | $ | 10,849 | | $ | 140,836 | | $ | 215,775 | | $ | 434,961 | | | $ | 450,845 |
Weighted average interest rate at December 27, 2005 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 6.83 | % | | | |
Variable rate debt (primarily LIBOR) | | $ | 58,910 | | $ | 12,446 | | $ | 164,653 | | $ | 61 | | $ | 587 | | $ | — | | $ | 236,657 | | | $ | 242,074 |
Weighted average interest rate at December 27, 2005 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 7.12 | % | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Totals | | $ | 75,606 | | $ | 26,462 | | $ | 201,442 | | $ | 10,910 | | $ | 141,423 | | $ | 215,775 | | $ | 671,618 | | | $ | 692,919 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
A hypothetical one percent increase in short-term interest rates, based on the outstanding balance of our variable rate debt at December 27, 2005, would result in an estimated increase of $2.4 million in annual interest expense.
Because the table incorporates only those exposures that existed as of December 27, 2005, it does not consider those exposures or positions that could arise after that date. Moreover, the information presented herein has limited predictive value. As a result, our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at that time and interest rates.
Changes in interest rates also impact our pension expense. An assumed discount rate is used in determining the present value of future cash outflows currently expected to be required to satisfy the pension benefit obligation when due. A hypothetical 25 basis points reduction in the assumed discount rate would result in an estimated increase of $0.7 million in our future pension expense.
Our objective in managing our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is to reduce operating income and cash flow volatility associated with foreign exchange rate changes to allow management to focus its attention on our core businesses. We have historically managed this risk through the limited amount of our investments in foreign economies.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, in ensuring that all information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC.
Changes in Internal Controls
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information
None.

Our board of directors is currently comprised of the Chairman of the Board and five other directors. In connection with the Stockholders Agreement, dated October 26, 1999 between The Cypress Group (“Cypress”) and certain stockholders affiliated with the Dedman family (the “Dedman Stockholders”), Cypress is entitled to designate two directors to serve on our Board. James Stern and Bahram Shirazi currently serve on the Board as representatives of Cypress. Cypress has a right to designate two directors as long as it owns 50% or more of the common stock it purchased from the Dedman Stockholders, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated October 26, 1999, executed in connection with the Stockholders Agreement, and at least one director as long as it owns at least 25% of such common stock. The Dedman Stockholders also have the right to appoint one additional non-employee director, as specified in the Stockholders Agreement. All employee directors, the Chairman of the Board and Nancy Dedman hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Our executive officers are elected by the Board and serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Investment: Our Investment Committee consists of three executive officers and has been delegated the authority by our Board for a variety of matters, including the authority to approve certain acquisitions, dispositions, and expansion and development projects. Where our Board desires to delegate certain authority to the Investment Committee and applicable law prevents the delegation of such authority to a committee that includes persons in addition to directors, the authority is exclusively delegated to the directors who are members of the Investment Committee.
Audit: Our Audit Committee consists of four directors, two of which are non-employees. The Board of Directors has not designated an audit committee financial expert. However, the Board has reviewed the qualifications of the members of the Audit Committee and believes that our Audit Committee members possess the necessary financial background and experience required to effectively perform all of their required duties.
Compensation: Our Compensation Committee consists of two employee directors and two non-employee directors and is responsible for establishing the compensation of our directors and executive officers. We generally hire an independent third party to provide our Compensation Committee information and recommendations on compensation for our executive officers. Our Compensation Committee uses that information to make recommendations to our Board of Directors.
34
Under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, as long as Cypress is entitled to designate one director to our Board, the Audit and Compensation Committees of the Board must include at least one representative of Cypress.

In addition to applying to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, this code applies to all of the other persons employed by us who have significant responsibility for preparing or overseeing the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and the other financial data included in our periodic reports filed with the SEC and in other public communications made by us that are designated from time to time by the Chief Financial Officer as senior financial professionals.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
We do not have equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result, the reporting and other requirements of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 do not apply to us.

(1) | Fair value was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Use of this model should not be viewed in any way as a forecast of the future performance of our common stock, which will be determined by future events and unknown factors. The estimated values under the Black-Scholes model are based upon the following assumptions: risk free rate of return (varies depending on grant date), stock price volatility (40%), dividend yield (0), term (7 years) and forfeiture rate (3%). |
Aggregated Option Exercises in Last Fiscal Year and Fiscal Year-End Option Values
The following table summarizes for each Named Executive Officer, each exercise of stock options during the fiscal year ended December 27, 2005 and the fiscal year-end value of unexercised options:

Robert H. Dedman, Jr. | | — | | $ | — | | 847,200 | | 46,800 | | $ | 1,090,508 | | $ | 25,272 |

Douglas T. Howe | | — | | | — | | 211,550 | | 29,680 | | | 694,396 | | | 18,769 |
(1) | The ClubCorp Inc. Executive Stock Option Plan (the Executive Option Plan) was adopted in August 1995 and was amended and restated effective January 2001. The Executive Option Plan provides for granting options to purchase shares of common stock to key employees at a price not less than fair market value at the date of grant. The options vest evenly over a 10 year period from the date the option is granted, if the employee maintains a certain performance level as defined in the Executive Option Plan. Each of the Named Executive Officers met the required performance level defined in the Executive Option Plan for 2003, 2004, and 2005. Thus, 100% of the shares granted are vested and exercisable, dependent upon the year of grant. |
(2) | The Omnibus Stock Plan was adopted effective February 1998 and was amended and restated effective January 2001. The Omnibus Stock Plan provides for granting to key employees options to purchase shares of common stock at a price not less than fair market value at the date of grant. The vesting is determined at the time of grant and is generally three to five years with a ten-year expiration date with one exception. During the year ended December 30, 2003, we allowed employees with options in the company granted before January 1, 2002, to forfeit those options and be issued the same number of options six months and several days later at the then current stock price. On September 19, 2003, 3,153,086 options were granted related to this transaction. These options have an 18-month cliff vesting with a seven-year expiration date. |

In addition, they are eligible to receive an annual cash bonus payment based upon their performance as measured against the financial and personal performance objectives set forth in our ClubCorp Incentive Plan for Home Office and Division Employee Partners.
39
Several of the material clauses of the employment agreements for John Beckert, Richard Beckert and Jeffrey Mayer are similar and are summarized below:
Effect of Termination. Under the employment agreements, if employment is terminated by us other than for Cause (as defined in the employment agreements), death or disability or if they resign their employment for Good Reason (as defined in the employment agreement), then:
| • | | all unvested stock options will be automatically vested effective on the day immediately preceding the termination date; and |
| • | | contingent on signing and delivering a general release and waiver of claims in a form reasonably acceptable to us, they will also receive eighteen (18) months of base salary (24 months for John Beckert) and an additional amount equal to the annual bonus he received in the preceding calendar year. |
Effect of a Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the employment agreements), all of their vested and unvested stock options will be deemed to have automatically vested on the date immediately prior to the date of the Change of Control. If (i) any payments are due and are subject to excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or any successor provision or (ii) they are subject to a “parachute payment” and such payment is reduced, we will pay them an additional amount so that the net amount retained by them after deductions of any such excise tax and any income and employment taxes, social security tax, excise tax, interest or penalties imposed on such amounts paid shall be equal to the full amount of the intended payment or benefit.
Other Protective Provisions. Under the employment agreements, they are subject to certain non-solicitation, confidentiality, inventions and works for hire, non-competition and non-disparagement provisions.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During 2005, Messrs. Dedman, Beckert, James Singleton (a former director) and Shirazi served as members of our compensation committee. Mr. Dedman serves as our Chairman of the Board and Mr. Beckert serves as our Chief Executive Officer and President. In addition, Mr. Singleton was President of Cypress and Mr. Shirazi is a Managing Director of Cypress. Cypress beneficially owns greater than 10% of our common stock. No member of the compensation committee serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors or compensation committee.
In January of 2006, James Singleton resigned from our board of directors and the compensation committee. James Stern, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Cypress, has been appointed as Mr. Singleton’s replacement. He will serve on our board of directors and the compensation committee in the same capacity as Mr. Singleton had previously.

The number and percentage of shares of common stock beneficially owned is determined under the rules of the SEC and is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares for which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares of common stock underlying stock options and warrants that are exercisable by that person within sixty days of March 24, 2006. However, shares underlying such stock options and warrants are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or entity. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes, each person listed in the following table has sole voting and investment power over the shares shown as beneficially owned by that person. Percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 92,821,459 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 24, 2006.

The estate of Robert H. Dedman, Sr. and his family currently own approximately 71% of our common stock. The holders of a majority of the common stock can elect all of our directors and approve or disapprove certain fundamental corporate transactions, including a merger or sale of all of our assets, subject to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. The transfer of a substantial portion of the common stock owned by Nancy M. Dedman, or by her children could result in a change in our control and could affect our management or future direction. In addition, as defined by Section 182 of the Internal Revenue Code, a change in control of our greater than 5% stockholders could limit our ability to utilize current net operating losses to offset future taxable income.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
During 1999, we sold 9,375,000 shares of common stock and warrants to acquire 1,012,500 shares of common stock to The Cypress Group. Beginning in December 2004, we are obligated under certain defined conditions to offer to repurchase a portion of their outstanding shares if we are below a defined leverage ratio. Based on the calculation, we were above the stated leverage ratio and were not required to offer to repurchase any shares during 2005.
Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services
The table below sets forth the aggregate fees billed by our principal independent registered public accountants for audit, audit-related and tax services provided to us in each of the last two fiscal years. Deloitte & Touche LLP was our principal independent registered public accountant in 2004 and 2005.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
ClubCorp, Inc.
Dallas, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ClubCorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 27, 2005 and December 28, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 27, 2005 and December 28, 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ClubCorp, Inc.
Years ended December 30, 2003, December 28, 2004, and December 27, 2005
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies
Nature of operations
We are a holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware that, through our subsidiaries, have historically operated in one distinct business industry, hospitality services. Our operations in the hospitality industry involve the operation of country club and golf facilities, business and sports clubs and resorts through sole ownership, partial ownership (including joint venture interests), operating leases and management agreements. Other operations include sales of real estate.
Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of ClubCorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Investments in affiliates for which we do not have operational or financial control are accounted for on the equity method. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by dividends received and our share of the undistributed earnings or losses of these affiliates (Note 3). The investment balances are included in other non-current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
There is no minority interest recorded for minority stockholders of five country clubs and three golf clubs because of deficit capital positions. We have recognized minority stockholders’ share of these entities’ cumulative and 2005 losses, which are approximately $11.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively. We will recognize future positive earnings of these subsidiaries to the extent of minority interest losses previously absorbed.
Fiscal year
Our fiscal year consists of a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the last Tuesday of December. Our 2003, 2004, and 2005 fiscal years are comprised of the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003, December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005, respectively.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and interest bearing deposits in financial institutions, all of which have maturities of 90 days or less.
Restricted Cash
We had $28.7 million and $21.7 million of restricted cash at December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005, respectively. The 2005 balance is comprised of $19.0 million in collateral related to insurance policies and $2.7 million in collateral related to letters of credit in connection with debt covenants (See Note 8). The letters of credit have one-year terms and, therefore, the related restricted cash is included in current assets. In 2005, restricted cash decreased due to a reduction of the amount of collateral required for debt covenants, and the sale of a property in which we had a deposit related to a put option.
Membership, other receivables, and long-term receivables
Membership and other receivables as well as other long-term receivables are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $3.4 million, $4.0 million and $3.1 million as of December 30, 2003, December 28, 2004, and December 27, 2005, respectively, and amounts charged to bad debt expense of $2.8 million, $2.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Amounts written off were $2.8 million, $1.6 million and $2.5 million for each of the years ended December 30, 2003, December 28, 2004, and December 27, 2005, respectively.

ClubCorp, Inc.
Inventories
Inventories, which consist primarily of food and beverages and merchandise held for resale, are stated at the lower of cost (weighted average cost method) or market value.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is stated at depreciated cost. Land and land improvements include non-depreciable golf course improvements including fairways, roughs and trees. We capitalize costs that both materially add value and appreciably extend the useful life of an asset. With respect to golf course improvements, only costs associated with original construction, complete replacements, or the addition of new trees, sand traps, fairways or greens are capitalized. All other related costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
| | |
Building and recreational facilities | | 40 years |
Depreciable land improvements | | 10 -20 years |
Furniture and fixtures | | 3 - 10 years |
Machinery and equipment | | 3 - 10 years |
Leasehold improvements and assets under capital leases are amortized over the shorter of the term of the respective leases or useful life using the straight-line method.
Notes receivable
Notes receivable relate primarily to deferred initiation fees and deposits and notes receivable trade. At December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005, deferred initiation fees and deposits were $29.4 million and $26.6 million, respectively. Notes receivable trade were $14.0 million and $6.7 million at December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005, respectively.
Real estate held for sale
Real estate held for sale consists primarily of land, land development costs and related amenities that are to be left with the project upon completion. Costs are allocated to project components based on the specific identification method whenever possible. Otherwise, costs are allocated based on their relative sales value. Sales of real estate generally are accounted for under the full accrual method. Under that method, a gain is not recognized until the collectibility of the sales price is reasonably assured and the earnings process is virtually complete. At December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005, real estate held for sale was $39.2 million and $16.6 million, respectively, and is included in other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In December 2005, we completed a sale of land to be used for the development of a master-planned residential community in the city of Aliso Viejo, California. As part of our agreement with the city of Aliso Viejo, we will manage a city-owned community conference center, an aquatic facility, and a park on the land which will be funded by the city and the purchaser of the land. In addition, we committed to develop a new clubhouse at Aliso Viejo, which we will own and operate along with a reconfigured 18-hole golf course. We received net cash proceeds of approximately $85 million after funding required escrows related to development of the clubhouse and paying various costs. The proceeds from this sale have been used to increase our cash reserves. The transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $46 million that is reflected on our Consolidated Statements of Operations in gain/(loss) on disposals and impairment of assets. Additionally, we have $10 million in deferred gain related to our commitment to develop the new clubhouse. This sale decreased real estate held for sale by $23 million in 2005.
Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Foreign currency translation
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate in effect at year-end. All foreign income and expenses are translated at the monthly weighted average exchange rates during the year.
F-9
ClubCorp, Inc.
Translation gains and losses are reported separately as a component of comprehensive income (loss). Realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Treasury stock
Purchases of treasury stock are recorded at the cost of the shares acquired. When treasury stock is subsequently reissued, the difference between the cost of shares reissued, using the average cost method, and the sales price is charged or credited to additional paid-in capital.
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for using Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” 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 No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.”
Effective December 29, 2004, we changed certain of our assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted and compensation expense. We now use an expected life of seven years (previously 10 years) and a 3% forfeiture rate (previously zero). We are also calculating compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period. Management believes these changes will more accurately reflect the value of our stock options granted and the requisite service period. These changes have been applied on a prospective basis. Had compensation cost for the option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for the options consistent with the methodology of SFAS 123, our net income (loss) and net earnings (loss) per share would have been changed to the following pro forma amounts (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2003 | | | 2004 | | | 2005 | |
Net income (loss) as reported | | $ | (105,246 | ) | | $ | (6,242 | ) | | $ | 70,754 | |
Less: Total stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value method, net of taxes | | | (4,400 | ) | | | (8,276 | ) | | | (3,641 | ) |

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Stock compensation expense related to options has not been recorded for any of the periods presented.
During the year ended December 30, 2003, we allowed employees, excluding those serving as members of the Board of Directors, with options issued prior to 2002 to forfeit those options and later be issued the same number of options six months and several days later with exercise prices at the then current stock price. This resulted in employees forfeiting options to acquire approximately 3.6 million shares of common stock in March 2003. On September 19, 2003, the Company granted options to acquire approximately 3.1 million shares of common stock to eligible employees with an exercise price of $9.30. These options fully vested on March 19, 2005. In accordance with APB 25, we did not recognize any additional compensation cost associated with the grant of these options (Note 12). The option repurchase transaction was considered a modification of the original options and, therefore, in accordance with SFAS 123, we recognized all remaining expense associated with the original options that were forfeited in the pro forma 2003 amounts above.
F-10
ClubCorp, Inc.
We will record compensation cost based on the requirements of SFAS 123R beginning in the first quarter of 2006. We believe the impact of this standard will cause an increase to operating expense of approximately $3.5 million ($2.3 million net of tax) for the year ending 2006.
Revenue recognition
We recognized revenues from the following sources:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | 2003 | | 2004 | | 2005 |
Revenues from continuing operations: | | | | | | | | | |
Membership fees and deposits | | $ | 38,914 | | $ | 37,485 | | $ | 35,763 |
Membership dues | | | 311,063 | | | 322,987 | | | 337,074 |

Lodging revenues | | | 54,464 | | | 58,141 | | | 61,394 |
Other revenues (2) | | | 78,965 | | | 82,583 | | | 105,470 |
| | | | | | | | | |
Total operating revenues from continuing operations | | $ | 892,709 | | $ | 938,802 | | $ | 1,028,088 |

| | | | | | | | | |
Total operating revenue | | $ | 923,599 | | $ | 956,570 | | $ | 1,038,092 |
| | | | | | | | | |
(1) | The 2005 amounts include the impact of ticket sales, rental of corporate hospitality tents and concessions of approximately $36 million related to the 2005 U.S. Open. |
(2) | The 2005 amounts include the impact of merchandise sales of approximately $15 million related to the 2005 U.S. Open. |
Revenues from golf operations, lodging, food and beverage and merchandise sales are recognized at the time of sale or when the service is provided. Revenues from membership dues are billed monthly and recognized in the period earned. The monthly dues are expected to cover the cost of providing future membership services. Lifetime membership dues are recognized as income using the straight-line method over 20 years, the estimated average life of a lifetime membership. Prepaid dues are recognized as income over the prepayment period.
The majority of membership deposits sold are not refundable until a fixed number of years (generally 30) after the date of acceptance of a member, and are expected to cover our cost of providing services to the member over the course of the individual’s membership. Because of the refundable nature of our deposits and the fact that few of our clubs have membership caps, we believe that revenue related to deposits should be recognized over the average expected life of an active membership. This position is supported by our prior correspondence with the SEC on this matter in 1998. For membership deposits, the difference between the amount paid by the member and the present value of the refund obligation is deferred and recognized as membership fees and deposits revenue on a straight-line basis over the average expected life of an active membership, which was six years for golf and resort memberships and five years for business and sports club memberships through 2005. Based on our year-end calculation, the average life of an active membership will change to seven years for golf and resorts memberships beginning in 2006. The present value of the refund obligation is recorded as a membership deposit liability in our consolidated balance sheet and accretes over the nonrefundable term using the effective interest method with an interest rate defined as our weighted average borrowing rate adjusted to reflect a 30-year time frame. The accretion is included in interest expense. The majority of our membership fees are not refundable and are deferred and recognized over the average expected life of an active membership.
F-11
ClubCorp, Inc.
At December 27, 2005, the amount of membership deposits that are or will become contractually due and payable during the next five years is approximately $33.1 million.
Divestiture of subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are divested when management determines they will be unable to provide a positive contribution to cash flows from operations in future periods and/or when they are determined to be nonstrategic holdings for the company. Gains from divestitures are recognized in the period in which operations cease and losses are recognized when they become apparent. These are reflected in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as loss on disposals and impairments of assets.
Interest rate swap and cap agreements
Interest payments on approximately 61% of the floating portion of our current debt are protected by interest rate cap agreements that limit our exposure to rises in interest rates over certain amounts (Note 8).
Previously, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates related to our prior bank facility. In accordance with SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” we accounted for these swap agreements by recording the net interest to be paid or received as an increase or reduction in interest. These swaps were not renewed under our new mortgage debt. As a result, at December 28, 2004, all swap agreements had matured.
Earnings (loss) per share

Recent Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost will be measured based on fair value on the grant date of the equity instruments issued or marked to market each period for the liability instruments issued. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service for that award. This new standard will be effective for us beginning in our first quarter of 2006. We believe the impact of this standard will cause an increase to operating expense of approximately $3.5 million ($2.3 million net of tax) for the year ending 2006.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions”, which clarifies accounting treatment for timeshare transactions and related costs. SFAS No. 152 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not believe the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. SFAS No. 153 is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,” provided an exception to
F-12
ClubCorp, Inc.
its basic measurement principle (fair value) for exchanges of similar productive assets. Under APB Opinion No. 29, an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset was based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished. SFAS No. 153 eliminates this exception and replaces it with an exception of exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. We will apply the requirements of SFAS No. 153 on any future nonmonetary exchange transactions.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (FIN 47). FIN 47 addresses the recording and reporting of asset retirement obligations if removal of materials such as asbestos insulation, lead paint PCBs, or other material covered by environmental regulations, is required. The adoption of FIN 47 did not have an effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 29 and FASB Statement No. 3”. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. APB Opinion No. 20 “Accounting Changes”, previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. We will apply the requirements of SFAS No. 154 on any future accounting changes or error corrections.
Note 2. Variable interest entities
During 1994, we formed a joint venture with a real estate developer to acquire and develop real estate around a country club. Prior to the adoption of FIN 46R, we accounted for our investment in the joint venture under the equity method, recording a majority of the venture’s operating results. We are the general partner of the joint venture, however, we do not control a majority ownership percentage; therefore, operating decisions would have to go to arbitration in the event of a split in voting. We recorded 100% of all losses and then participated in earnings proportionally with the other partners.
The joint venture purchases virtually all the support services it requires from us and from the real estate developer under management service agreements, which expire at the completion of the development. With the adoption of FIN 46R, we consolidated the joint venture beginning with our March 23, 2004 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, as the joint venture was determined to be a variable interest entity with us as its primary beneficiary. Due to the historical net operating losses of the joint venture in excess of the partners’ equity interests of the joint venture not owned by us, no noncontrolling interests are reported in our December 27, 2005 Consolidated Balance Sheet. The investment was carried as a $19.8 million investment liability prior to consolidation.
The joint venture was financed by the assumption of debt, of which $11.8 million is currently outstanding and is included in long-term debt, along with accrued interest of approximately $11.9 million that is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The majority of the joint venture’s debt is payable only out of distributable cash flow, as defined by the agreements. The notes are subordinated and junior to other liens and are collateralized by the real estate owned by the joint venture. The creditors of the joint venture do not have recourse to our other assets.
Other variable interest entities consolidated by us in conjunction with the implementation of FIN 46R include a managed golf operation and liquor pool entities associated with certain properties. The impact of consolidating these entities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations is not significant.

Note 4. Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time our entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Since no market exists for certain financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on our judgment regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect estimates.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and cash equivalents
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Long-term debt
Fair values for fixed rate debt, capital leases and other obligations are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows using our incremental borrowing rates for similar types of debt arrangements. The estimated fair value of these obligations was $448.3 million and $450.8 million at December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005, respectively. The carrying value of these obligations was $440.3 million and $435.0 million at December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005, respectively (Note 8).
F-14
ClubCorp, Inc.
The fair value for variable rate debt is also based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows using our incremental borrowing rates for similar types of debt arrangements. The estimated fair value of these obligations was $257.2 million and $242.1 million at December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005, respectively. The carrying value of these obligations was $267.5 million and $236.6 million at December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005, respectively (Note 8).
Membership deposits
Management believes that the carrying value of membership deposits approximates estimated fair value at year end. The carrying value at December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005 of membership deposits was $153.7 million and $169.6 million, respectively. Included in the carrying value are membership deposits that are related to properties that were considered held for sale as of December 27, 2005. The carrying value of membership deposits related to held for sale properties at December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005 was $5.2 million and $5.7 million, respectively (Note 6).

Note 6. 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”. In conjunction with SFAS 144, for all periods presented, certain assets and liabilities expected to be sold with the held-for-sale entities have been reclassified to Other Current Assets and Other Current Liabilities, and all income and expense items have been reclassified as Discontinued Operations.
As of December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005, we had one property classified as held for sale. The balance sheet amounts related to this property were reclassified to Other Current Assets and Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and were comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | 2004 | | 2005 |
Membership and other receivables, net | | $ | 431 | | $ | 273 |
Inventories | | | 75 | | | 69 |

Total assets | | $ | 7,089 | | $ | 6,935 |
| | | | | | |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | $ | 196 | | $ | 113 |
Other current liabilities | | | 169 | | | 144 |
Long-term debt | | | 3,026 | | | 2,811 |
Other liabilities | | | 426 | | | 196 |
| | | | | | |
Total liabilities | | $ | 3,817 | | $ | 3,264 |
| | | | | | |
The held for sale property, as well as all properties that were divested during the year ended December 27, 2005, were reclassified to Discontinued Operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 11 for detail of the Consolidated Statements of Operations impact of Discontinued Operations by segment and in total.
We review all properties held for sale for impairment. We also evaluate properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through future cash flows. We use a discounted future operating cash flow with a risk-adjusted discount rate in determining the fair value of the asset and its related impairment
For assets to be held and used, we perform a recoverability test to determine if the future undiscounted cash flows over our expected holding period for the property exceed the carrying amount of the assets of the property in question. If the recoverability test is not met, fair value is determined by comparing the carrying value of the property to its future discounted cash flows using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Future cash flows of each property are determined using management’s projections of the performance of a given property based on its past performance and expected future performance given changes in marketplace, local operations and other factors both in our control and out of our control. Additionally, we review current property appraisals when available to ensure recoverability. Actual results that differ from these estimates can generate material differences in impairment charges recorded and, ultimately, net income or loss in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and the carrying value of properties on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For the years ended December 30, 2003, December 28, 2004, and December 27, 2005, we recorded impairments of $3.0 million, $4.1 million, and $8.9 million, respectively.

Interest payments on approximately 61% of the floating portion of our debt are protected by interest rate cap agreements that limit our exposure to rises in interest rates over certain amounts. These interest rate caps mature on July 3, 2006. The aggregate fair market value of all interest rate cap agreements was $8,000 on December 28, 2004 and zero on December 27, 2005 and is included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognized interest expense for the years ended December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005 of $278,000 and $8,000, respectively, to record the change in fair value of these instruments.
In early 2006, we amended a loan agreement representing approximately $37 million of debt maturing in 2006 and established a secured $50 million line of credit which will mature in 2010. As a result, we paid down approximately $32 million and transferred the remaining $5 million as an initial draw on the line of credit.

Under the provisions of certain of our debt agreements with Textron Financial Corporation (Textron), we are required to maintain debt service coverage ratios at both the portfolio and individual property level. Certain of these individual loans have cross-default provisions; therefore, a default on an individual loan triggers a default on the portfolio. As of December 27, 2005, the debt service coverage ratio was below the minimum level for four individual properties participating in the loan, thereby causing the entire loan ($53 million in principal amount) to be in technical default. We cured the noncompliance by obtaining letters of credit totaling $2.7 million.
For the year ended December 27, 2005 we have added approximately $7.9 million in new capital leases to our debt with the offset to property, plant and equipment on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The amount of cash paid for interest in 2003, 2004 and 2005 was approximately $51.2 million, $49.0 million and $53.8 million, respectively.
We lease operating facilities under agreements with terms ranging from 1 to 60 years. These agreements normally provide for minimum rentals plus executory costs. In some cases, we must pay contingent rent generally based on a percentage of gross receipts or positive cash flow as defined in the lease agreements. Future minimum lease payments required at December 27, 2005 under operating leases for buildings and recreational facilities with initial non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Note 10. Stockholders’ equity
On December 1, 1999, we sold 9,375,000 shares of common stock and 1,012,500 common stock purchase warrants for a price of $16 per share to affiliates of the Cypress Group. The sale resulted in total proceeds of $150.0 million, net of issuance costs of $6.0 million. Each common stock purchase warrant allows the holder to purchase one share of common stock for $17 per share and is exercisable through 2009. The value of these warrants is included in additional paid-in capital and is not significant to our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the years ended December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005, no common stock purchase warrants were exercised. Beginning in December 2004, we are obligated under certain defined conditions to offer to repurchase a portion of their outstanding shares if we are below a defined leverage ratio. During 2005, we were above the stated leverage ratio and were not required to offer to repurchase any shares of common stock during 2005 and we do not anticipate this occurring in 2006.
At our option, we have historically repurchased stock from stockholders when offered for sale to us on a limited basis. The Stockholders Agreement with The Cypress Group L.L.C. limits our stock repurchases, without their prior authorization, to $2.5 million per year from Nancy Dedman, Robert H. Dedman, Jr., Patricia Dedman Dietz, and the Dedman Foundation and related trusts in total, $5.0 million per year from certain charitable and non-profit organizations, and $2.5 million per year from all other stockholder groups. The redemption right of the Amended Plan is not limited by this agreement. During the year ended December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005, we repurchased stock from stockholders totaling $3.8 million and $7.0 million, respectively.

Note 11. 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, which 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 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.
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. In 2005, resorts operations include the impact of hosting the 2005 U.S. Open at Pinehurst.
Business and sports club operations consist of 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.
Other operations and services consist of real estate operations, corporate overhead and intercompany eliminations made in the consolidation between corporate services and other operating segments. Real estate operations are comprised of residential real estate development and sales, primarily in areas adjacent to golf facilities. The majority of other operating revenues is provided from real estate sales.
We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on each segment’s EBITDA. We also use EBITDA to monitor our property-level and overall performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA for all periods presented has been calculated using this definition. 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.

Note 12. Benefit plans
We maintain an employee stock ownership plan, known as the ClubCorp Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”). Eligible employees have the opportunity to invest between 1% to 6% of their pretax compensation in the Plan, subject to certain limitations. Participant contributions are matched 20% on a quarterly basis with an option at year end for an additional discretionary match by the company. The matching contribution vests over six years. Participants may elect to diversify a portion of their account assets upon meeting certain age and participation requirements. In addition, upon termination, retirement or permanent disability, a participant or beneficiary may demand distribution of our common stock in lieu of cash. All of the assets of the Plan are invested in our common stock, except for temporary investments of cash.
As a means of providing liquidity to the trustees, we have provided the trustees a limited put right (the “Redemption Right”) to cause us to redeem common stock, held in trust on behalf of the Plan, at the most recent fair market value as necessary to meet the following requirements: (1) to fund a participant’s distribution in cash, (2) to diversify a participant’s account in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(28), (3) to pay expenses incurred by the trustees, and (4) to comply with directions from the plan administrator. The Redemption Right has never been exercised by the trustees, although we have repurchased common stock into treasury from certain stockholders. We do not expect that the Redemption Right will be exercised in 2006. The Plan held 4,106,145 and 4,107,356 shares at December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005, respectively. The shares are valued at the most recent appraised value ($11.49 and $12.91 at December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005, respectively) as necessary in order to meet the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and the Plan. Accordingly, we have reclassified the redemption value of our common stock held by the Plan out of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and changes in the redemption value have been charged to retained earnings.
We maintain a second qualified contributory plan for all eligible employees of certain domestic subsidiaries. This Plan allows participants to invest up to 50% of their pretax compensation among eleven investment fund options, subject to certain limitations.
We also maintain a defined pension plan for one of our properties. For the years ended December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005, we have a liability recorded related to unfunded obligations of $3.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively, and other comprehensive loss of $4.7 million and $6.1 million, respectively. We have recorded pension expense related to the pension plan of $0.7 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005, respectively. The accumulated benefit obligation for the plan was $22.0 million and $23.8 million at December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005, respectively. The fair value of the plan assets as of December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005 was $18.2 million and $18.9 million, respectively. We have not included the required disclosures under SFAS No. 132R, as the plan is not significant to our overall consolidated financial statements.
The ClubCorp, Inc. Executive Stock Option Plan was adopted August 31, 1995. In February 2000, we transferred substantially all of the remaining available shares in this plan to the Omnibus Stock Plan. In August 2003, we transferred the remaining available shares in this plan to the Omnibus Stock Plan. The plan provides for accelerated vesting, not to exceed
F-25
ClubCorp, Inc.
10% per year, if the employee maintains a certain performance level as defined in the plan. Certain executive level employees are required to maintain a minimum ownership level of company stock holdings, as set forth in the plan, to sell stock acquired from exercised options. At December 27, 2005, there were options outstanding to acquire 420,000 shares of common stock under the Executive Stock Option Plan, all of which are exercisable.
We apply APB 25 in accounting for the option plans; therefore, no compensation expense has been recognized for options that have been granted to employees. In accordance with the requirements of SFAS 123, the fair value of the options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for the 2003, 2004 and 2005 grants: risk-free weighted average interest rates of 4.1%, 4.5% and 4.0% respectively, an expected volatility of 40%, an expected life of ten years and zero dividend yield. In 2005, we changed the expected life to seven years and included a 3% forfeiture rate (previously zero). The summary of the status of the options outstanding at year-end 2003, 2004 and 2005 and changes during the fiscal years is as follows:

During the year ended December 30, 2003, we allowed employees with options issued prior to 2002 to forfeit those options and later be issued the same number of options six months and several days later at the then current stock price. This resulted in employees forfeiting options to acquire approximately 3.6 million shares of common stock in March 2003. On September 19, 2003, the Company granted options to acquire approximately 3.1 million shares of common stock to eligible employees with an exercise price of $9.30 per share. These options were fully vested as of March 19, 2005. In accordance with APB 25, we did not recognize any additional compensation cost associated with the grant of these options.
Note 13. Related Party Transactions
During 1999, we sold 9,375,000 shares of common stock and warrants to acquire 1,012,500 shares of common stock to The Cypress Group. Beginning in December 2004, we are obligated under certain defined conditions to offer to repurchase a portion of the outstanding shares if we are below a defined leverage ratio. Based on the calculation, we were above the stated leverage ratio and were not required to offer to repurchase any shares during 2005 (Note 10).
Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies
For the year ended December 27, 2005, we have commitments of letters of credit of $19.0 million that are primarily related to secure future estimated claims for workers’ compensation and general liability insurance and $2.7 million in letters of credit in order to cure a default of a portion of our debt with Textron (Note 1). These letters of credit are all secured by cash deposits in the full amount.
We have provided the trustees of the Amended Plan a limited put right to cause us to redeem our common stock at the most recent appraised fair market value as necessary to meet certain liquidity requirements. The Amended Plan owns 4.4% of our outstanding common stock with a redemption value of $53 million as of December 27, 2005. The Redemption Right has never been exercised by the Amended Plan and we do not expect that it will be exercised in 2006 (Note 12).
As of December 27, 2005, we have capital commitments of $19.3 million at certain of our country clubs related to future construction or capital contributions after the developer has completed construction.

ClubCorp, Inc.
Since 1996, ClubCorp has recorded a deferred tax asset related to regular tax NOL carryforwards available for its use. The amount, calculated as 35% of the regular net operating loss carryforward above, is netted against deferred tax liabilities and classified as Other Assets or Other Liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Each year, or when significant changes in our financial situation occur, we perform a valuation allowance analysis to determine the future recoverability of the asset. Historically, our analysis has been based on a future taxable income forecast utilizing past trends as well as future plans and predictions about our business.
We have recorded taxable losses in each of the prior five fiscal years not including the year ended December 27, 2005. In accordance with guidance in SFAS No. 109 and industry practice, because we have a pattern of taxable losses, we can not overcome that pattern and assume that we will have future taxable income. Therefore, we use more objective evidence in our evaluation, basing our analysis solely on carrybacks and future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, as well as certain tax planning strategies. In 2003, we recorded a charge to operations of $65 million to write down the value of our NOLs to a balance of $77 million. In 2004, approximately $96 million of our gross NOL balance expired unused. The balance of our valuation allowance in 2003 anticipated this expiration and therefore, in 2004, no charge was recorded to operations and a corresponding adjustment was made to the valuation allowance. In 2005, we had taxable income of approximately $86.6 million, which included a capital gain from the sale of land at one of our properties. This allowed us to utilize our entire $24.4 million gross capital loss carryforward and approximately $62.2 million of our gross NOL balance which were both previously reserved in our valuation allowance. In addition, $131.3 million of our gross NOL balance expired unused at the end of 2005 but resulted in no charge to operations as it was fully reserved in our valuation allowance. Our capital loss and gross NOL carryforward balances were able to shelter 100% of the regular tax liability created by our current year taxable income. In addition, we were able to shelter the maximum allowed alternative minimum tax, or AMT, liability with available AMT NOL carryforward balances. The result was a remaining current AMT tax liability for $1.2 million. The AMT tax liability was recorded with an offsetting deferred tax asset that can be carried forward with an indefinite life to be applied against future unsheltered taxable income.
The components of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 28, 2004 and December 27, 2005 are as follows (dollars in thousands):
