AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOVEMBER 30, 1996 AND NOVEMBER 30, 1995 (Unaudited) 1. GENERAL: Ridgewood Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is primarily engaged in the business of acquiring, developing, operating and selling real estate property in the Southeast and "Sunbelt" areas. Additionally, the Company, through its investment in a limited partnership, is engaged in acquiring and managing hotel properties in the Southeast, as well as managing other hotels throughout the country. The Company also owns and operates a hotel in Longwood, Florida. All of the Company's other properties are land properties held for sale, and no additional development is currently anticipated for the land. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 29, 1985. Prior to December 31, 1985, the Company operated under the name CMEI, Inc. The Company's common stock is currently listed in the broker-dealer "Pink Sheets" and trades in the over-the-counter market. Of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock, 37% of the common stock is owned by the Company's President, N. Russell Walden. All of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock are owned by Triton Group, Ltd. The accompanying financial statements of the Company present the historical cost basis amount of assets, liabilities and shareholders' investment of the real estate business for the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its joint venture investments after the elimination of all intercompany amounts. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flow for the interim periods covered by this report. Although certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996. The results of operations for the three months ended November 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending August 31, 1997. The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for both book and tax purposes which may be used to offset future taxable income. In September 1993, the Company adopted SFAS 109. The adoption of SFAS 109 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash equivalents which are highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. 3. ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOSSES: The allowance for possible losses decreased by $1,156,000 during the three months ended November 30, 1996 due to the sale of a portion of the land in Dallas, Texas, for which a reserve had previously been established. 4. INCOME TAXES: The Company's income tax provision for the three months ended November 30, 1996 and November 30, 1995 is as follows: 1996 1995 Income tax provision 292,000 -- Utilization of net operating loss carryforwards (292,000) -- -------- ---- Net income tax provision -- -- ======== ==== 5. SHAREHOLDERS' INVESTMENT: Income (Loss) Per Common and Common Equivalent Share -- The calculation of earnings per common and common equivalent share includes certain stock options (see options granted below to the President and Chief Financial Officer). A value of $1.13 per share was used in the calculations, which was calculated on the average of the bid and ask prices of the common stock during the three months ended November 30, 1996. The bid and ask prices were used due to the absence of an established public trading market in the stock. The loss per common share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding of approximately 1,088,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1995. Dividends paid on preferred stock were $45,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1996 and 1995. These dividends were deducted from the net income and added to the loss for purposes of computing the income (loss) per common share. Stock Option Plan -- On March 30, 1993, the Company granted options to purchase 378,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.83 per share to its key employees and one director under the Ridgewood Properties, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The options vested over a four year period in 25% increments. All options expire ten years from the date of grant, unless earlier on account of death, disability, termination of employment, or for other reasons outlined in the Plan. As of November 30, 1996, all of the options are exercisable. On January 28, 1994, the Company granted options to purchase 375,000 and 75,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.00 per share to its President and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, under the Plan. The options are exercisable immediately and expire on January 31, 1997. 6. NOTES PAYABLE: In June 1995, the Company entered into a loan with a commercial lender to refinance the Ramada Inn in Longwood, Florida. The loan proceeds are $2,800,000. The loan is for a term of 20 years with an amortization period of 25 years, at the rate of 10.35%. Principal and interest payments are approximately $26,000 per month beginning August 1, 1995. In addition, the Company is required to make a repair escrow payment comprised of 4% of estimated revenues, as well as real estate tax and insurance escrow payments. The total amount for these items will be a payment of approximately $20,000 per month and can be adjusted annually. The escrow funds will be used as tax, insurance and repair needs arise. As of November 30, 1996, there was approximately $110,000 of escrowed funds related to this loan agreement. Also, commitment fees and loan costs of approximately $159,000 are being amortized over 20 years. The balance of this loan as of November 30, 1996 was approximately $2,764,000. In December 1995 and in conjunction with the acquisition of a hotel management company, the Company assumed three promissory notes dated September 22, 1994 and payable to three different Georgia corporations. The total combined outstanding principal was approximately $106,000. All three notes are for a term of five years at a rate of 6.83%. Combined principal and interest payments are approximately $2,667 per month through October 1, 1999. The combined balance of these loans at November 30, 1996 was approximately $84,000. Maturities of long-term debt during the Company's next five fiscal years are as follows: 1998 - $59,000; 1999 - $65,000; 2000 - $43,000; 2001 - $42,000; thereafter - $2,594,000. 7. INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP: On August 16, 1995, RW Hotel Partners, L.P. was organized as a limited partnership (the "Partnership") under the laws of the State of Delaware. Concurrently, the Company formed Ridgewood Hotels, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("Ridgewood Hotels") which became the sole general partner in the Partnership with RW Hotel Investments Associates, L.L.C. ("Investor") as the limited partner. Ridgewood Hotels has a 1% base distribution percentage versus 99% for the Investor. However, distribution percentages do vary depending on certain defined preferences and priorities pursuant to the Partnership Agreement ("Agreement") which are discussed below. The partnership was originally formed to acquire a hotel property in Louisville, Kentucky. The partnership consists of six hotel properties at November 30, 1996. The terms of this partnership will serve as a guideline for other potential acquisitions with this or other investors. Income and loss are allocated to the Company and the limited partner based upon the formula for allocating distributable cash as described below but subject to an annual limitation which would result in no more than 88% of partnership income or loss (as defined) being allocated to the limited partner. Distributable Cash is defined as the net income from the property before depreciation plus any net sale proceeds and net financing proceeds less capital costs. Distributions of Distributable Cash shall be made as follows: - First, to the Investor until there has been distributed to the Investor an amount equal to a 15% cumulative internal rate of return on the Investor's investment. - Second, to Ridgewood Hotels until the aggregate amount received by Ridgewood Hotels equals the aggregate cash contributions made by Ridgewood Hotels to the Partnership (as of November 30, 1996, Ridgewood Hotels contributed approximately $748,000). - Third, 12% to Ridgewood Hotels and 88% to the Investor until there has been distributed to the Investor an amount equal to a 25% cumulative internal rate of return on Investor's investment. - Fourth, 75% of the residual to the Investor and 25% to Ridgewood Hotels. A Management Agreement exists between the Partnership and the Company as Manager ("Manager") for the purpose of managing hotels in Kentucky, Georgia and South Carolina. The Manager shall be entitled to the following property management fees: (1) 2.5% of the gross revenues from the hotel property. (2) 1% of the gross revenues from the hotel property as an incentive fee if distributable cash equals or exceeds 13.5% of certain aggregate acquisition costs. No management fees were payable with respect to the first 12-month period of management of the hotel in Kentucky. A Construction Management Agreement exists between the Partnership and the Manager for the purpose of managing future improvements to the properties. The Company currently has approximately $748,000 invested in the Partnership. Also, at November 30, 1996, the Company recorded approximately $212,000 equity in the income of the Partnership, bringing the total investment in the limited Partnership to approximately $947,000. The equity method of accounting is used for accounting for the investment in the Partnership. Also, the investment of $947,000 is after the elimination of intercompany transactions. The Partnership purchased a hotel in Louisville, Kentucky for approximately $16,000,000. In December 1995 and January 1996, the Partnership purchased four hotel properties in Georgia for approximately $15,000,000 and a hotel in South Carolina for $4,000,000, respectively. The Company may make future capital contributions to the Partnership. Management expects to fund such capital contributions through available cash or from loans from the Partnership. Additionally, the Company may invest in other partnerships to acquire hotels in the future. 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT: On December 16, 1996, 75,000 warrants were issued to Hugh Jones, a hotel acquisitions consultant for the Company. Each warrant represents the right to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at the exercise price of $3.50 per share. The warrants may be exercised at any time within five years from the date of issuance. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1995 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES -- In June 1995, the Company entered into a loan with a commercial lender to refinance the Ramada Inn in Longwood, Florida. The loan proceeds are $2,800,000. The loan is for a term of 20 years with an amortization period of 25 years, at the rate of 10.35%. Principal and interest payments are approximately $26,000 per month beginning August 1, 1995. In addition, the Company is required to make a repair escrow payment comprised of 4% of estimated revenues, as well as real estate tax and insurance escrow payments. The total amount for these items will be a payment of approximately $20,000 per month and can be adjusted annually. The escrow funds will be used as tax, insurance and repair needs arise. As of November 30, 1996, there was approximately $110,000 of escrowed funds related to this loan agreement. During the first three months of fiscal year 1997, the Company sold land in Florida and Texas for net proceeds of approximately $1,220,000 and $432,000, respectively. The Company signed a contract for the sale of a parcel of land in Longwood, Florida for net proceeds of approximately $300,000. The Company also signed a contract for the sale of its land in Maitland, Florida for net proceeds of approximately $1,300,000. The above sales are scheduled to close in January and February, 1997, respectively, but both of the contracts have several contingencies which allow the buyers to withdraw at any time. On August 16, 1995, RW Hotel Partners, L.P. was organized as a limited partnership (the "Partnership") under the laws of the State of Delaware. Concurrently, the Company formed Ridgewood Hotels, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("Ridgewood Hotels") which became the sole general partner in the Partnership with RW Hotel Investments Associates, L.L.C. ("Investor") as the limited partner. Ridgewood Hotels has a 1% base distribution percentage versus 99% for the Investor. However, distribution percentages do vary depending on certain defined preferences and priorities pursuant to the Partnership Agreement ("Agreement") which are discussed below. The partnership was originally formed to acquire a hotel property in Louisville, Kentucky. The partnership consists of six hotel properties at November 30, 1996. The terms of this partnership will serve as a guideline for other potential acquisitions with the Investor or other investors. Income and loss are allocated to the Company and the limited partner based upon the formula for allocating distributable cash as described below but subject to an annual limitation which would result in no more than 88% of partnership income or loss (as defined) being allocated to the limited partner. Distributable Cash is defined as the net income from the property before depreciation plus any net sale proceeds and net financing proceeds less capital costs.

A Management Agreement exists between the Partnership and the Company as Manager ("Manager") for the purpose of managing hotels in Kentucky, Georgia and South Carolina. The Manager shall be entitled to the following property management fees: (1) 2.5% of the gross revenues from the hotel property. (2) 1% of the gross revenues from the hotel property as an incentive fee if distributable cash equals or exceeds 13.5% of certain aggregate acquisition costs. No management fees were payable with respect to the first 12-month period of management of the hotel in Kentucky. A Construction Management Agreement exists between the Partnership and the Manager for the purpose of managing future improvements to the properties. The Company currently has approximately $748,000 invested in the Partnership. Also, at November 30, 1996, the Company recorded approximately $212,000 equity in the income of the Partnership, bringing the total investment in the limited Partnership to approximately $947,000. The Partnership purchased a hotel in Louisville, Kentucky for approximately $16,000,000. In December 1995 and January 1996, the Partnership purchased four hotel properties in Georgia for approximately $15,000,000 and a hotel in South Carolina for $4,000,000, respectively. The Company may make future capital contributions to the Partnership. Management expects to fund such capital contributions through available cash or from loans from the Partnership. Additionally, the Company may invest in other partnerships to acquire hotels in the future. Since the Company is not currently generating sufficient operating cash to cover overhead and debt service, the Company must continue to sell real estate, seek alternative financing or otherwise recapitalize the Company. The Company also intends to aggressively pursue the acquisition of hotels and hotel management contracts which would provide additional cash flow. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- The Company had gains from real estate sales of approximately $1,079,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1996. During the three months ended November 30, 1995, the Company had gains from real estate sales of approximately $55,000. Gains or losses on sales are dependent upon the specific assets sold in a particular period and the terms of each sale. Operating revenues from real estate properties increased approximately $116,000, or 22%, for the three months ended November 30, 1996, compared to the three months ended November 30, 1995 due to increased revenues at the Company's hotel in Longwood, Florida. Revenues from hotel management increased approximately $196,000, or 338%, for the three months ended November 30, 1996 compared to the three months ended November 30, 1995 due to the acquisition of hotels and a hotel management company. In turn, expenses of hotel management increased approximately $146,000, or 332%, for the three months ended November 30, 1996 compared to the three months ended November 30, 1995. Operating expenses during the three months ended November 30, 1996 increased $16,000, or 3%, compared to the three months ended November 30, 1995 due to increased business at the Company's hotel in Florida. General, administration and other expenses increased approximately $14,000, or 5%, for the three months ended November 30, 1996 compared to the three months ended November 30, 1995 as a result of slightly increased overhead due to an expanding business entity. Business development expenses decreased approximately $8,000, or 20%, for the three months ended November 30, 1996 compared to the three months ended November 30, 1995 due to fewer overall expenses compared to the prior year. However, the Company is continuing its aggressive movement into the business of acquiring, developing, operating and selling hotel properties throughout the country. PART II.
