SILVERLEAF RESORTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BACKGROUND
These condensed consolidated financial statements of Silverleaf Resorts, Inc.
and subsidiaries ("the Company") presented herein do not include certain
information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, in
the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2001.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the
Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The accounting policies used in preparing
these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those
described in such Form 10-K.
SFAS No. 140 - In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities"
("SFAS No. 140"), which replaces SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities." SFAS No. 140
revises SFAS No. 125's standards for accounting for securitizations and other
transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures,
but it carries over most of the SFAS No. 125's provisions without
reconsideration. SFAS No. 140 was effective for transfers and servicing of
financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31,
2001 and for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures
relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending
after December 15, 2000. SFAS No. 140 is to be applied prospectively with
certain exceptions. The Company adopted the new disclosures required under SFAS
No. 140 as of December 31, 2000. The adoption of SFAS No. 140 in 2001 did not
have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial
position, or cash flows.
SFAS No. 144 - In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"), which supersedes
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."
SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting method for long-lived assets to be
disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired, and
extends the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal
transactions. SFAS No. 144 also requires that an impairment loss be recognized
for assets held-for-use when the carrying amount of an asset (group) is not
recoverable. The carrying amount of an asset (group) is not recoverable if it
exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use
and eventual disposition of the asset (group), excluding interest charges.
Estimates of future cash flows used to test the recoverability of a long-lived
asset (group) must incorporate the entity's own assumptions about its use of the
asset (group) and must factor in all available evidence. SFAS No. 144 was
effective for the Company for the quarter ending March 31, 2002. The adoption of
SFAS No. 144 in 2002 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of
operations, financial position, or cash flows.
SFAS No. 145 - In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Recission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment to FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections" ("SFAS No. 145"). SFAS No. 145 eliminates the current requirement
that gains and losses on debt extinguishment must be classified as extraordinary
items in the income statement. Instead, such gains and losses will be classified
as extraordinary items only if they are deemed to be unusual and infrequent, in
accordance with the current GAAP criteria for extraordinary classification. In
addition, SFAS No. 145 eliminates an inconsistency in lease accounting by
requiring that modifications of capital leases that result in reclassification
as operating leases be accounted for consistent with sale-leaseback accounting
rules. SFAS No. 145 also contains other non-substantive corrections to
authoritative accounting literature. The changes related to debt extinguishment
will be effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, and the changes
related to lease accounting will be
7
effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS
No. 145 will require the Company to reclassify its extraordinary gains to
ordinary.
SFAS No. 146 - In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS No. 146"). SFAS No.
146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3. SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs
associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is
incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at
the date of a company's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also
establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair
value. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future
restructuring costs as well as the amount recognized. SFAS No. 146 is effective
after fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No.
146 will not have any immediate effect on the Company's results of operations,
financial position, or cash flows.
NOTE 2 - DEBT RESTRUCTURING
Since February 2001, when the Company disclosed significant liquidity issues
arising primarily from the failure to close a credit facility with its largest
secured creditor, management and its financial advisors have been attempting to
develop and implement a plan to return the Company to sound financial condition.
During this period, the Company negotiated and closed short-term secured
financing arrangements with three lenders, which allowed it to operate at
reduced sales levels as compared to original plans and prior years. With the
exception of the Company's inability to pay interest due on the Senior
Subordinated Notes, these short-term arrangements were adequate to keep the
Company's unsecured creditors current on amounts owed.
Under the Exchange Offer that was closed on May 2, 2002, $56,934,000 in
principal amount of the Company's 10 1/2% senior subordinated notes were
exchanged for a combination of $28,467,000 in principal amount of the Company's
new class of 6.0% senior subordinated notes due 2007 and 23,937,489 shares of
the Company's common stock, representing approximately 65% of the common stock
outstanding after the Exchange Offer. As a result of the exchange, the Company
recorded a pre-tax extraordinary gain of $17.9 million in the second quarter of
2002. Under the terms of the Exchange Offer, tendering holders collectively
received cash payments of $1,335,545 on May 16, 2002, and a further payment of
$334,455 on October 1, 2002. A total of $9,766,000 in principal amount of the
Company's 10 1/2% notes were not tendered and remain outstanding. As a
condition of the Exchange Offer, the Company has paid all past due interest to
non-tendering holders of its 10 1/2% notes. Under the terms of the Exchange
Offer, the acceleration of the maturity date on the 10 1/2% notes which
occurred in May 2001 has been rescinded, and the original maturity date in 2008
for the 10 1/2% notes has been reinstated. Past due interest paid to
non-tendering holders of the 10 1/2% notes was $1,827,806. The indenture under
which the 10 1/2% notes were issued was also consentually amended as a part of
the Exchange Offer.
Management has also negotiated two-year revolving, three-year term out
arrangements for $214 million with its three principal secured lenders, which
were closed at the same time as of the Exchange Offer. In addition, the Company
amended its $100 million off-balance-sheet credit facility through the Company's
SPE. Under these revised credit arrangements, two of the three creditors
converted $42.1 million of existing debt to a subordinated Tranche B. Tranche A
is secured by a first lien on currently pledged notes receivable. Tranche B is
secured by a second lien on the notes, a lien on resort assets, an assignment of
the Company's management contracts with the Clubs, a portfolio of unpledged
receivables currently ineligible for pledge under the existing facility, and a
security interest in the stock of Silverleaf Finance I, Inc., the Company's SPE.
Among other aspects of these revised arrangements, the Company will be required
to operate within certain parameters of a revised business model and satisfy the
financial covenants set forth in the Amended Senior Credit Facilities, including
maintaining a minimum tangible net worth of $100 million or greater, as defined,
sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales below 55.0% for the last
three quarters of 2002 and below 52.5% thereafter, notes receivable delinquency
rate below 25%, a minimum interest coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0 (increasing to
1.25 to 1 in 2003), and a minimum net income. However, such results cannot be
assured.
Compliance with these covenants will require that improvements be made in
several areas of the Company's operations. The principal changes in operations
that management believes will be necessary to satisfy the financial
8
covenants are to reduce sales and marketing expense as a percentage of sales, to
improve profitability, and to improve customer credit quality, which the Company
believes will result in reduced credit losses.
During the second and third quarters of 2001, the Company closed three outside
sales offices, closed three telemarketing centers, and reduced headcount in
sales, marketing, and general and administrative functions. These changes
resulted in $2.7 million of asset write-offs, including $1.4 million of prepaid
booth rentals and marketing supplies and $1.3 million of fixed assets related to
the closed sales offices and closed telemarketing centers. As a result of these
actions, management believes that the necessary operating changes needed to
reduce sales and marketing expense to an appropriate level are being
implemented.
Due to the high level of defaults experienced in customer receivables during
2000, which continued throughout 2001, the Company's provision for uncollectible
notes was relatively high as a percentage of Vacation Interval sales during 2000
and 2001. Management believes the high level of defaults experienced in 2000 was
due to the deterioration of the economy in the United States, which began to
have a significant impact on the Company's existing customers and on consumer
confidence in general in late 2000, and a substantial reduction by the Company
in two programs that were previously used to remedy defaulted notes receivable.
Management believes the high level of defaults in 2001 was also attributable to
the fact that customers concerned about the Company's liquidity issues began
defaulting on their notes after the Company's liquidity announcement in February
2001, in addition to continuing economic concerns.
Since the third quarter of 2001, the Company has been operating under new sales
practices whereby no sales are permitted unless the touring customer has a
minimum income level beyond that previously required and has a valid major
credit card. Further, the marketing division is employing a best practices
program, which management believes should facilitate marketing to customers who
are more likely to be a good credit risk. However, should there be further
deterioration in the economy, and if enhanced sales practices do not result in
sufficiently improved collections, the Company may not be able to realize
improvements in the overall credit quality of its notes receivable portfolio
that these actions are designed to achieve.
While the Company announced the completion of its restructuring and refinancing
transactions on May 2, 2002, the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern is dependent on other factors as well, including the improvements to the
Company's operations described above be achieved. In addition, the Amended
Senior Credit Facilities require the Company to satisfy certain financial
covenants. Management believes that if the improvements to its operations are
successful, the Company will be able to improve its operating results to achieve
compliance with the financial covenants during the term of the Amended Senior
Credit Facilities. However, the Company's plan to utilize certain of its assets,
predominantly inventory, extends for periods of up to fifteen years.
Accordingly, the Company will need to either extend the Amended Senior Credit
Facilities or obtain new sources of financing through the issuance of other
debt, equity, or collateralized mortgage-backed securities, the proceeds of
which would be used to refinance the debt under the Amended Senior Credit
Facilities, finance mortgages receivable, or for other purposes. The Company may
not have these additional sources of financing available to it at the times when
such financings are necessary.
Due to the uncertainties mentioned above, the independent auditors report on the
Company's financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2001 contains
an explanatory paragraph concerning the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the weighted average shares
outstanding assuming dilution was anti-dilutive. Outstanding stock options
totaling approximately 1,373,500 options were potentially dilutive securities
that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would
have been anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2001.
9
NOTE 4 - NOTES RECEIVABLE
The Company provides financing to the purchasers of Vacation Intervals, which
are collateralized by their interest in such Vacation Intervals. The notes
receivable generally have initial terms of seven to ten years. The average yield
on outstanding notes receivable at March 31, 2001 was approximately 13.5%. In
connection with the sampler program, the Company routinely enters into notes
receivable with terms of 10 months. Notes receivable from sampler sales were
$3.0 million and $3.4 million at March 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively, and are
non-interest bearing.
Management considers both pledged and sold-with-recourse notes receivable in the
Company's allowance for uncollectible notes. The Company considers accounts over
60 days past due to be delinquent. As of March 31, 2001, $15.6 million of notes
receivable, net of accounts charged off, were considered delinquent. An
additional $37.4 million of notes would have been considered to be delinquent
had the Company not granted payment concessions to the customers. The activity
in the allowance for uncollectible notes is as follows for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 2001 (in thousands):

NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In October 2001, a class action was filed against the Company by plaintiffs who
purchased Vacation Intervals from the Company. The plaintiffs allege that the
Company failed to deliver them complete copies of the contracts for the purchase
of Vacation Intervals as they did not receive a complete legal description of
the resort. The plaintiffs further claim that the Company violated various
provisions of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act with respect to
maintenance fees charged by the Company to its Vacation Interval owners. The
petition alleges actual damages of $34.5 million plus consequential damages of
an unspecified amount, as well as all attorneys' fees, expenses, and costs. The
Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims and believes it has
several defenses. The Company has not yet fully assessed the claims and has not
recorded an accrual for this case.
In February 2002, a class action was filed against the Company by a couple who
purchased a Vacation Interval from the Company. The plaintiffs allege that the
Company violated the Texas Government Code by charging a document preparation
fee in regard to instruments affecting title to real estate, and that such fee
constituted a partial prepayment that should have been credited against their
note. The petition seeks recovery of the $275 document preparation fee, $825 of
treble damages, and injunctions preventing the Company from engaging in such
practices. The Company has not yet fully assessed the claims and has not
recorded an accrual for this case.
During 2002, the Company sold $69.3 million of notes receivable to the SPE and
recognized pre-tax gains of $5.3 million. The SPE funded these purchases through
advances under a credit agreement arranged for this purpose. In conjunction with
these sales, the Company received cash consideration of $57.2 million, which was
used to pay down borrowings under its revolving loan facilities.
In May 2002, the Company completed the restructuring of its debt as described in
Note 2.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Certain matters discussed throughout this Form 10-Q filing are forward looking
statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the Company's Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2000.
The Company currently owns and/or manages 22 resorts in various stages of
development. These resorts offer a wide array of country club-like amenities,
such as golf, swimming, horseback riding, boating, and many organized activities
for children and adults. The Company represents an owner base of over 119,000.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the
accounts of Silverleaf Resorts, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are
wholly-owned.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 AND 2000
Revenues
Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 were $61.8 million, representing a
$3.6 million or 5.5% decrease from revenues of $65.4 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000. In February 2001, the Company failed to secure a new
credit facility with its largest secured creditor, which created significant
liquidity concerns. In addition, the Company's three primary secured lenders
have only provided the Company sufficient short-term secured financing to sell
at rates substantially reduced from 1999 and 2000 sales levels.
As a result, the number of Vacation Intervals sold, exclusive of in-house
Vacation Intervals, decreased 9.3% to 3,517 in the first quarter of 2001 from
3,877 in the same period of 2000. The average price per interval decreased 2.0%
to $9,639 for the first quarter of 2001 versus $9,831 for the first quarter of
2000. Total interval sales for the first quarter of 2001 included 1,179 biennial
intervals (counted as 590 Vacation Intervals) compared to 1,666 (833 Vacation
Intervals) in the first quarter of 2000. During the first quarter of 2001, 3,926
in-house Vacation Intervals were sold at an average price of $4,057, compared to
3,495 in-house Vacation Intervals sold at an average price of $4,688 during the
comparable 2000 period.
Sampler sales decreased $226,000 to $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2001, compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2000. Consistent with the
overall decrease in Company operations, fewer samplers were sold in 2001
compared to 2000. However, sampler sales are not recognized as revenue until the
Company's obligation has elapsed, which often does not occur until the sampler
contract expires eighteen months after the sale is
13
consummated. Hence, a significant portion of sampler sales recognized in the
first quarter of 2001 relate to 1999 sales.
Interest income increased 15.8% to $10.1 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2001, from $8.7 million for the same period of 2000. This increase primarily
resulted from an increase in average gross notes receivable in the first quarter
of 2001 compared to the same 2000 period.
Management fee income, which consists of management fees collected from the
resorts' management clubs, can not exceed the management clubs' net income.
Management fee income decreased $40,000 to $41,000 for the first quarter of
2001, versus $81,000 for the first quarter of 2000.
Other income consists of water and utilities income, condominium rental income,
marina income, golf course and pro shop income, and other miscellaneous items.
Other income was unchanged for the first quarter of 2001 compared to the same
period of 2000.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales as a percentage of Vacation Interval sales increased to 19.0% in
the first quarter of 2001 versus 17.5% for the same period of 2000. As a result
of the previously mentioned liquidity concerns, the Company was required to (i)
drastically reduce its future plan for Vacation Interval sales at its existing
resorts, (ii) abandon plans to develop two resorts already in predevelopment
status, (iii) place one resort in predevelopment status on hold, and (iv)
abandon plans to sell at the Crown resorts. These changes substantially reduced
the Company's future planned Vacation Interval sales. Due to the reduced future
sales plan, the Company allocates its resort amenities and land to cost of sales
at a higher rate in 2001 compared to 2000.
Also, as the Company continues to deplete its inventory of low-cost Vacation
Intervals, acquired primarily in 1995 and 1996, the Company's sales mix has
shifted to more recently constructed units, which were built at a higher average
cost per Vacation Interval. Hence, the cost of sales as a percentage of Vacation
Interval sales has increased compared to 2000.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing costs as a percentage of total sales increased to 56.6% for
the quarter ended March 31, 2001, from 55.0% for the same period of 2000. As a
result of the aforementioned liquidity issues, the Company made several changes
during 2001, including the closure of three outside sales offices, closing three
telemarketing centers, discontinuing certain lead generation programs, and
reducing headcount in both sales and marketing functions. Despite these cost
saving measures, sales and marketing costs as a percentage of total sales
increased due to the substantial decrease in sales and $430,000 of nonrecurring
transition costs associated with these changes.
Since the third quarter of 2001, the Company has been operating under new sales
practices whereby no sales are permitted unless the touring customer has a
minimum income level beyond that previously required and has a valid major
credit card. Further, the marketing division is employing a best practices
program, which should facilitate marketing to customers who management believes
are more likely to be a good credit risk.
Provision for Uncollectible Notes
The provision for uncollectible notes as a percentage of Vacation Interval sales
increased to 21.7% for the first quarter of 2001 versus 10.7% for the same
period of 2000. This increase is primarily attributable to the deterioration of
the economy that came to public awareness in late 2000 and the Company's
decision to substantially reduce two programs in 2000 that had previously been
used to remedy defaulted notes receivable. The assumptions program, which had
been used by the Company since December 1997 to allow delinquent loans to be
assumed by other customers, was virtually eliminated due to its high cost of
operation. The downgrade program, which was implemented in April 2000 to
supplement the assumptions program, allows delinquent customers to downgrade to
a more affordable product. In late 2000, the downgrade program was reduced as it
became apparent that this program did not significantly reduce delinquencies. As
a result of these changes, the Company recognized additional reserves in late
2000.
14
Due to the high level of defaults experienced in customer receivables throughout
2001, the provision for uncollectible notes remained relatively high during
2001. Management believes the high provision percentage remained necessary in
2001 because of continuing economic concerns and customers concerned about the
Company's liquidity issues began defaulting on their notes after the Company's
liquidity announcement in February 2001. Management will continue its current
collection programs and seek new programs to reduce note defaults. However,
there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful.
Operating, General and Administrative
Operating, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues
remained fairly constant at 13.0% for the first quarter of 2001, from 13.1% for
the same period of 2000. Although the Company substantially reduced its
corporate headcount in early 2001 to align overhead with reduced sales levels,
operating, general and administrative expense remained fairly constant at $8.1
million for the first quarter of 2001, compared to $8.6 million for the same
period of 2000. This was primarily due to $283,000 of professional fees incurred
in the first quarter of 2001 associated with the restructuring of the Company
with no such costs incurred in the comparable 2000 period.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of total revenues
increased to 3.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 versus 2.8% for the same
quarter of 2000 due to the decrease in revenues. Overall, depreciation and
amortization expense increased only $90,000 for the first quarter of 2001, as
compared to the same period of 2000.
Impairment Loss of Long-Lived Assets
The Company recognized an impairment loss of long-lived assets of $2.8 million
in the first quarter of 2001, which primarily consisted of a $1.3 million
write-off of fixed assets related to the closure of three outside sales offices
and three telemarketing centers and a $1.4 million write-off of prepaid
marketing costs related to the discontinuance of certain lead generation
programs. There was no impairment loss of long-lived assets during the first
quarter of 2000.
Interest Expense
Interest expense as a percentage of interest income increased to 83.5% for the
first quarter of 2001, from 74.7% for the same period of 2000. This increase is
primarily the result of increased borrowings against notes receivable. The
Company's weighted average cost of borrowing was 9.3% for both the first quarter
of 2001 and 2000.
Income (loss) before (Provision) Benefit for Income Taxes
Income (loss) before (provision) benefit for income taxes decreased to a loss of
$8.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, as compared to income of $2.5
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, as a result of the above mentioned
operating results.
(Provision) Benefit for Income Taxes
(Provision) benefit for income taxes as a percentage of income (loss) before
(provision) benefit for income taxes was a benefit of 0.6% in the first quarter
of 2001, as compared to a provision of 37.0% for the first quarter of 2000. The
decrease in the effective income tax rate is the result of the 2001 projected
income tax benefits being reduced by the effect of a valuation allowance, which
reduces the projected net deferred tax assets to zero due to the
unpredictability of recovery.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income (loss) decreased to a loss of $8.4 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2001, as compared to income of $1.6 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000, as a result of the above mentioned operating results.
15
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
SOURCES OF CASH. The Company generates cash primarily from the cash received on
the sale of Vacation Intervals, the financing of customer notes receivable from
Silverleaf Owners, management fees, sampler sales, and resort and utility
operations. The Company typically receives a 10% down payment on sales of
Vacation Intervals and finances the remainder by receipt of a seven-year to
ten-year customer promissory note. The Company generates cash from the financing
of customer notes receivable by (i) borrowing at an advance rate of up to 85% of
eligible customer notes receivable and (ii) from the spread between interest
received on customer notes receivable and interest paid on related borrowings.
Because the Company uses significant amounts of cash in the development and
marketing of Vacation Intervals, but collects cash on customer notes receivable
over a seven-year to ten-year period, borrowing against receivables has
historically been a necessary part of normal operations. During the three months
ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company's operating activities reflected cash
used in operating activities of $26.1 million and $29.8 million, respectively.
The decrease in cash used in operating activities was the result of a decrease
in new customer notes receivable due to a reduction of sales in 2001 and a
reduction of construction of inventory in 2001.
During the three months ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000, net cash
provided by financing activities was $24.9 million and $37.7 million,
respectively. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was
primarily the result of reduced borrowings against pledged notes receivable in
2001. At March 31, 2001, the Company's revolving credit facilities provided for
loans of up to $298.4 million of which approximately $282.7 million of principal
and interest related to advances under the credit facilities was outstanding.
For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the weighted average cost of funds
for all borrowings, including the senior subordinated debt, was 9.3%. Customer
defaults have a significant impact on cash available to the Company from
financing customer notes receivable in that notes more than 60 days past due are
not eligible as collateral. As a result, the Company must repay borrowings
against such delinquent notes.
Effective October 30, 2000, the Company entered into a $100 million revolving
credit agreement to finance Vacation Interval notes receivable through an
off-balance-sheet SPE, formed on October 16, 2000. The agreement presently has a
term of 5 years. During 2000, the Company sold $74 million of notes receivable
to the SPE and recognized pre-tax gains of $4.3 million. The SPE funded these
purchases through advances under a credit agreement arranged for this purpose.
In conjunction with these sales, the Company received cash consideration of
$62.9 million, which was used to pay down borrowings under its revolving loan
facilities. During 2001, the Company made no sales of notes receivable to the
SPE.
At March 31, 2001, the SPE held notes receivable totaling $65.0 million, with
related borrowings of $57.1 million. Except for the repurchase of notes that
fail to meet initial eligibility requirements, the Company is not obligated to
repurchase defaulted or any other contracts sold to the SPE. It is anticipated,
however, that the Company will place bids in accordance with the terms of the
conduit agreement to repurchase some defaulted contracts in public auctions to
facilitate the re-marketing of the underlying collateral.
For regular federal income tax purposes, the Company reports substantially all
of the Vacation Interval sales it finances under the installment method. Under
this method, income on sales of Vacation Intervals is not recognized until cash
is received, either in the form of a down payment or as installment payments on
customer notes receivable. The deferral of income tax liability conserves cash
resources on a current basis. Interest is imposed, however, on the amount of tax
attributable to the installment payments for the period beginning on the date of
sale and ending on the date the related tax is paid. If the Company is otherwise
not subject to tax in a particular year, no interest is imposed since the
interest is based on the amount of tax paid in that year. The consolidated
financial statements do not contain an accrual for any interest expense that
would be paid on the deferred taxes related to the installment method as the
interest expense is not estimable. In addition, the Company is subject to
current alternative minimum tax ("AMT") as a result of the deferred income that
results from the installment sales treatment. Payment of AMT reduces the future
regular tax liability attributable to Vacation Interval sales, and creates a
deferred tax asset. In 1998, the Internal Revenue Service approved a change in
the method of accounting for installment sales effective as of January 1, 1997.
As a result, the Company's alternative minimum taxable income for 1997 through
1999 was increased each year by approximately $9.0 million for the pre-1997
adjustment, which resulted in the Company paying substantial additional federal
and state taxes in those years. The Company's AMT loss for 2000
16
was decreased by such amount. Subsequent to March 31, 2001, the Company applied
for and received refunds of $8.3 million during 2001 and $1.6 million in 2002 as
the result of the carryback of its 2000 AMT loss to 1999, 1998, and 1997.
The net operating losses ("NOL") expire between 2007 through 2021. Realization
of the deferred tax assets arising from NOL is dependent on generating
sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the loss carryforwards.
Management currently does not believe that it will be able to utilize its NOL
from normal operations. At present, future NOL utilization is expected to be
limited to the temporary differences creating deferred tax liabilities. If
necessary, management could implement a strategy to accelerate income
recognition for federal income tax purposes to utilize the existing NOL. The
amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be decreased if
estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.
Due to the Exchange Offer described in Note 2 of the financial statements, an
ownership change within the meaning of Section 382(g) of the Internal Revenue
Code ("the Code") has occurred. As a result, a portion of the Company's NOL is
subject to an annual limitation for taxable years beginning after the date of
the exchange ("change date"), and a portion of the taxable year which includes
the change date. The annual limitation will be equal to the value of the stock
of the Company immediately before the ownership change, multiplied by the
long-term tax-exempt rate (i.e., the highest of the adjusted Federal long-term
rates in effect for any month in the three-calendar-month period ending with the
calendar month in which the change date occurs). This annual limitation may be
increased for any recognized built-in gain to the extent allowed in Section
382(h) of the Code. The ownership change may also limit the use of the Company's
minimum tax credit, described above, as provided in Section 383 of the Code.
Given its current economic condition, the Company's access to capital and other
financial markets is anticipated to be limited. However, to finance the
Company's growth, development, and any future expansion plans, the Company may
at some time be required to consider the issuance of other debt, equity, or
collateralized mortgage-backed securities, the proceeds of which would be used
to finance future acquisitions, refinance debt, finance mortgage receivables, or
for other purposes. Any debt incurred or issued by the Company may be secured or
unsecured, have fixed or variable rate interest, and may be subject to such
terms as management deems prudent.
USES OF CASH. Investing activities reflect a net use of cash due to capital
additions. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000 was $922,000 and $471,000, respectively. The
increase in net cash used in investing activities relates to increased equipment
purchases in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the same 2000 period. The
Company evaluates sites for additional new resorts or acquisitions on an ongoing
basis. Certain debt agreements include restrictions on the Company's ability to
pay dividends based on minimum levels of net income and cash flow.
Due to the uncertainties mentioned above, the independent auditors report on the
Company's financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2001 contains
an explanatory paragraph concerning the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company had no
significant derivative financial instruments or foreign operations. Interest on
the Company's notes receivable portfolio, senior subordinated debt, capital
leases, and miscellaneous notes is fixed, whereas interest on the Company's
primary loan agreements, which totaled $281 million at March 31, 2001, is
variable. The impact of a one-point interest rate change on the outstanding
balance of variable-rate financial instruments at March 31, 2001, on the
Company's quarterly results of operations would be approximately $702,000. In
addition, if interest rates increase, the fair market value of the Company's
fixed rate notes will decline, which may negatively impact the Company's ability
to sell new notes.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is currently subject to litigation arising in the normal course of
its business. From time to time, such litigation includes claims regarding
employment, tort, contract, truth-in-lending, the marketing and sale of Vacation
Intervals, and other consumer protection matters. Litigation has been initiated
from time to time by persons seeking individual recoveries for themselves, as
well as, in some instances, persons seeking recoveries on behalf of an alleged
class. In the judgement of the Company, none of these lawsuits or claims against
the Company, either individually or in the aggregate, is likely to have a
material adverse effect on the Company, its business, results of operations, or
financial condition.
In October 2001, a class action was filed against the Company by plaintiffs who
purchased Vacation Intervals from the Company. The plaintiffs allege that the
Company failed to deliver them complete copies of the contracts for the purchase
of Vacation Intervals as they did not receive a complete legal description of
the resort. The plaintiffs further claim that the Company violated various
provisions of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act with respect to
maintenance fees charged by the Company to its Vacation Interval owners. The
petition alleges actual damages of $34.5 million plus consequential damages of
an unspecified amount, as well as all attorneys' fees, expenses, and costs. The
Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims and believes it has
several defenses. The Company has not yet fully assessed the claims and has not
recorded an accrual for this case.
In February 2002, a class action was filed against the Company by a couple who
purchased a Vacation Interval from the Company. The plaintiffs allege that the
Company violated the Texas Government Code by charging a document preparation
fee in regard to instruments affecting title to real estate, and that such fee
constituted a partial prepayment that should have been credited against their
note. The petition seeks recovery of the $275 document preparation fee, $825 of
treble damages, and injunctions preventing the Company from engaging in such
practices. The Company has not yet fully assessed the claims and has not
recorded an accrual for this case.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
On April 1, 2001, the Company was unable to make the regularly scheduled
interest payment on its 10-1/2 % Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "Old
Notes"). The Company's payment default on the Old Notes was a direct result of
covenant defaults which had occurred under one or more of its senior credit
facilities. As it was required to do under the Old Indenture, the Company issued
a payment blockage notice to the trustee for the Old Notes (the "Old Indenture
Trustee") advising that the payment due April 1, 2001 could not be made. The Old
Indenture Trustee delivered a notice of default to the Company on May 1, 2001
when the Company failed to cure the April 1, 2001 interest payment default
within 30 days. The Old Indenture Trustee further notified the Company on May
21, 2001 that it had been instructed by holders of more than 25% of the
principal amount of the Old Notes outstanding to accelerate payment of the
principal, interest, and other charges due under the Old Notes. At March 31,
2001, the Company was still unable to make any payments on the accelerated
balances due under the Old Notes due to the payment blockage notice. The total
interest arrearage on the $66.7 million in outstanding principal amount of the
Old Notes was approximately $3.5 million.
