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 and nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. 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, 2001 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 2000 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, "Rescission 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 6 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, and the changes related to lease accounting will be 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 consensually 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 positive net income. At September 30, 2002, the Company was compliant with each of these covenants. However, continued compliance in future periods cannot be assured. Based upon current projections, the Company believes it will be in compliance with all financial covenants with its senior lenders during the fourth quarter of 2002, except for the covenant requiring it to restrict quarterly sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of quarterly sales to below 55.0%. 7 Due to the seasonality of its sales and the fixed nature of its sales and marketing expenses, the Company currently believes that its fourth quarter 2002 sales and marketing expenses will exceed 55.0% of fourth quarter sales. If the Company is unable to reduce to below 55% its fourth quarter ratio of sales and marketing expenses to sales, the Company will be noncompliant with this financial covenant at the end of the fourth quarter. The Company has discussed this issue with the lenders, and they are aware that in that event, it will be necessary for the Company to negotiate a waiver or amendment of this covenant with its senior lenders. 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 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 achievement of the improvements to the Company's operations described above. 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. 8 NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table illustrates the reconciliation between basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001: <Table> <Caption> Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------------------ ------------------------------ 2002 2001 2002 2001 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Weighted average shares outstanding - basic 36,826,906 12,889,417 26,129,567 12,889,417 Issuance of shares from stock options exercisable 460,000 -- 232,300 -- Repurchase of shares from stock options proceeds (360,338) -- (226,681) -- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted 36,926,568 12,889,417 26,135,186 12,889,417 ============ ============ ============ ============ </Table> For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, the weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution was non-dilutive. 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 September 30, 2002 was approximately 14.3%. In connection with the sampler program, the Company routinely enters into notes receivable with terms of 10 months. Notes receivable from sampler sales were $1.8 million and $1.3 million at September 30, 2001 and 2002, 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 September 30, 2002, $4.1 million of notes receivable, net of accounts charged off, were considered delinquent. An additional $58.6 million of notes would have been considered to be delinquent had the Company not granted payment concessions to the customers.

NOTE 6 - SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES As of September 30, 2002, all subsidiaries of the Company (except for Silverleaf Finance I, Inc.) have guaranteed the $47.0 million of senior subordinated notes. The separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning each guaranteeing subsidiary (each, a "Guarantor Subsidiary") are not presented herein because the Company's management has determined that such information is not material to investors. The guarantee of each Guarantor Subsidiary is full and unconditional and joint and several. Each Guarantor Subsidiary is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and together comprise all direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company. The Guarantor Subsidiaries had no operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2002.

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. NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company sold $14.2 million of notes receivable to a wholly-owned, unconsolidated subsidiary, Silverleaf Finance I, Inc. (the "SPE") and recognized pre-tax gains of $1.5 million. The 11 SPE funded these purchases through advances under a credit agreement arranged for this purpose. In conjunction with this sale, the Company received cash consideration of $11.7 million, which was used to pay down borrowings under its revolving loan facilities. 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, 2001. The Company currently owns and/or operates 19 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 124,000. 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 The following table sets forth certain operating information for the Company. <Table> <Caption> Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, -------------------------- -------------------------- 2002 2001 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- As a percentage of total revenues: Vacation Interval sales 71.4% 70.7% 68.5% 75.9% Sampler sales 1.9% 2.1% 2.3% 1.9% ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total sales 73.3% 72.8% 70.8% 77.8% Interest income 20.1% 23.9% 21.4% 19.9% Management fee income 1.1% 0.4% 1.1% 0.2% Other income 3.5% 2.9% 2.7% 2.1% Gain on sale of notes receivable 2.0% 0.0% 4.0% 0.0% ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total revenues 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% As a percentage of Vacation Interval sales: Cost of Vacation Interval sales 18.1% 20.9% 18.3% 19.5% Provision for uncollectible notes 20.0% 21.7% 20.0% 21.8% As a percentage of total sales: Sales and marketing 52.3% 49.4% 52.6% 53.7% As a percentage of total revenues: Operating, general and administrative 16.2% 19.8% 18.6% 16.9% Depreciation and amortization 2.8% 3.6% 2.8% 3.3% As a percentage of interest income: Interest expense and lender fees 50.9% 81.2% 61.8% 90.2% </Table> 12 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 Revenues Revenues for the third quarter of 2002 were $45.0 million, representing a $693,000 or 1.6% increase from revenues of $44.3 million for the same period of 2001. The increase primarily resulted from an increase in Vacation Interval sales due to an increase in in-house sales prices and a gain on the sale of notes receivable. The number of Vacation Intervals sold, exclusive of in-house Vacation Intervals, decreased 3.5% to 2,172 in the third quarter of 2002 from 2,251 in the same period of 2001. The average price per interval remained fairly constant at $9,661 in the third quarter of 2002 versus $9,784 for the same period of 2001. Total interval sales for the three months ended September 30, 2002 included 175 biennial intervals (counted as 88 Vacation Intervals) compared to 683 (342 Vacation Intervals) in the three months ended September 30, 2001. During the third quarter of 2002, 1,814 in-house Vacation Intervals were sold at an average price of $6,172, compared to 2,135 in-house Vacation Intervals sold at an average price of $4,363 during the comparable 2001 period. Sampler sales remained fairly constant at $848,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $950,000 for the same period in 2001. 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 consummated. Hence, the decrease in sampler sales relates to the overall decline in Company operations since 2000. Interest income decreased 14.7% to $9.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, from $10.6 million for the same period of 2001. This decrease primarily resulted from a decrease in notes receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, in 2002 compared to 2001. 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 increased $324,000 to $483,000 for the third quarter of 2002, versus $159,000 for the third quarter of 2001, due to decreased operating expenses at the management clubs in 2002 versus 2001. 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 increased $293,000 to $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, compared to $1.3 million for the same period of 2001. The increase primarily relates to increased golf course and pro shop income in 2002 and a $114,000 gain associated with the sale of land in the third quarter of 2002. Gain on sale of notes receivable was $897,000 for the third quarter of 2002, compared to $0 in the same period of 2001. This gain resulted from the sale of $10.6 million of notes receivable to the SPE in the third quarter of 2002. The SPE funded these purchases through advances under a credit agreement arranged for this purpose. Cost of Sales Cost of sales as a percentage of Vacation Interval sales decreased to 18.1% for the third quarter of 2002 compared to 20.9% for the same period of 2001. The decrease primarily resulted from an increase in sales prices in 2002 compared to 2001. The $721,000 decrease in cost of sales in the third quarter of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001 was a result of the sales mix. A higher percentage of lower cost-basis units were sold in the third quarter of 2002 compared to 2001. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing costs as a percentage of total sales increased to 52.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, from 49.4% for the same period of 2001. 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 costs incurred in the third quarter of 2002 to expand upgrade sales offices in anticipation of future sales. 13 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. Based upon current projections, the Company believes it will be in compliance with all financial covenants with its senior lenders during the fourth quarter of 2002, except for the covenant requiring it to restrict quarterly sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of quarterly sales to below 55.0%. Due to the seasonality of its sales and the fixed nature of its sales and marketing expenses, the Company currently believes that its fourth quarter 2002 sales and marketing expenses will exceed 55.0% of fourth quarter sales. If the Company is unable to reduce its fourth quarter ratio of sales and marketing expenses to sales to below 55.0%, the Company will be noncompliant with this financial covenant at the end of the fourth quarter. The Company has discussed this issue with the lenders, and they are aware that in that event, it will be necessary for the Company to negotiate a waiver or amendment of this covenant with its senior lenders. There can be no assurance that such a waiver or amendment can be negotiated. Provision for Uncollectible Notes The provision for uncollectible notes as a percentage of Vacation Interval sales remained fairly constant at 20.0% for the third quarter of 2002 compared to 21.7% for the same period of 2001. Due to the high level of defaults experienced in customer receivables throughout 2001, the provision for uncollectible notes remained relatively high during 2001 and 2002. Management believes the high provision percentage remained necessary in 2002 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 decreased to 16.2% for the third quarter of 2002, from 19.8% for the same period of 2001. The Company substantially reduced its corporate headcount in 2001 to align overhead with the reduced sales levels. Professional fees incurred in the third quarter of 2001 related to the restructuring of the Company were $1.4 million. There were no professional fees related to the restructuring of the Company in the third quarter of 2002. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 2.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 versus 3.6% for the same period of 2001. Overall, depreciation and amortization expense decreased $359,000 for the third quarter of 2002, as compared to 2001, primarily due to a general reduction in capital expenditures since 2000. Impairment Loss of Long-Lived Assets The Company recognized an impairment loss of long-lived assets of $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2001, which primarily consisted of a $2.3 million impairment to write-down both corporate airplanes to their estimated sales prices and a $230,000 loss related to the re-negotiation and transfer of a capital lease to Silverleaf Club. There was no impairment loss of long-lived assets during the third quarter of 2002. Interest Expense Interest expense as a percentage of interest income decreased to 50.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2002, from 81.2% for the same period of 2001. This decrease is primarily the result of decreased borrowings against pledged notes receivable, a decrease in the Company's weighted average cost of borrowing to 6.3% in the third quarter of 2002 from 7.6% in the third quarter of 2001, and reduced senior subordinated notes due to the restructuring completed in May 2002. 14 Income (Loss) before Benefit for Income Taxes and Extraordinary Item Income (loss) before benefit for income taxes and extraordinary item increased to income of $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2002, as compared to a loss of $6.5 million for the third quarter of 2001, as a result of the above mentioned operating results. Benefit for Income Taxes Benefit for income taxes as a percentage of income (loss) before benefit for income taxes was 67.2% in the third quarter of 2002, as compared to 0.8% for the same period of 2001. In the third quarter of 2002, the Company received a $1.6 million refund due to a tax law change that allowed the Company to recoup additional AMT paid in previous years. The effective income tax rate for 2002 and 2001 is also the result of the 2002 and 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) increased to income of $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to a loss of $6.5 million for the same period of 2001, as a result of the above mentioned operating results. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 Revenues Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $133.9 million, representing a $20.9 million or 13.5% decrease from revenues of $154.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. 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 28.5% to 5,901 in the first nine months of 2002 from 8,253 in the same period of 2001. The average price per interval increased 5.1% to $10,218 for the first nine months of 2002 versus $9,721 for the first nine months of 2001. Total interval sales for the first nine months of 2002 included 937 biennial intervals (counted as 469 Vacation Intervals) compared to 2,608 (1,304 Vacation Intervals) in the first nine months of 2001. During the first nine months of 2002, 6,045 in-house Vacation Intervals were sold at an average price of $5,206, compared to 8,844 in-house Vacation Intervals sold at an average price of $4,211 during the comparable 2001 period. Sampler sales increased $158,000 to $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2001. Consistent with the overall decrease in Company operations, fewer samplers were sold in 2002 compared to 2001. 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 consummated. Hence, a significant portion of sampler sales recognized in the first nine months of 2002 relate to 2000 sales. Interest income decreased 7.0% to $28.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $30.8 million for the same period of 2001. This decrease primarily resulted from a decrease in notes receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, in 2002 compared to 2001. Management fee income, which consists of management fees collected from the resorts' management clubs, cannot exceed the management clubs' net income. Management fee income increased $1.0 million to $1.4 million for the first nine months of 2002, versus $393,000 for the first nine months of 2001, due to decreased operating expenses at the management clubs in 2002 versus 2001. 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 increased $356,000 to $3.6 million for the first nine 15 months of 2002 compared to $3.3 million for the same period of 2001. The increase primarily relates to increased golf course and pro shop income in 2002 and a $114,000 gain associated with the sale of land in the third quarter of 2002, partially offset by a $147,000 gain associated with the sale of land in the first quarter of 2001. Gain on sale of notes receivable was $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $0 in the same period of 2001. This gain resulted from the sale of $69.3 million of notes receivable to the SPE in the first nine months of 2002. The SPE funded these purchases through advances under a credit agreement arranged for this purpose. Cost of Sales Cost of sales as a percentage of Vacation Interval sales decreased to 18.3% for the first nine months of 2002 compared to 19.5% for the same period of 2001. The decrease primarily resulted from an increase in sales prices in 2002 compared to 2001. The $6.1 million decrease in cost of sales in the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001 was due to the decrease in Vacation Interval sales. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing costs as a percentage of total sales decreased to 52.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from 53.7% for the same period of 2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to the following cost saving measures implemented in 2001 as a result of the aforementioned liquidity issues: 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. 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. Based upon current projections, the Company believes it will be in compliance with all financial covenants with its senior lenders during the fourth quarter of 2002, except for the covenant requiring it to restrict quarterly sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of quarterly sales to below 55.0%. Due to the seasonality of its sales and the fixed nature of its sales and marketing expenses, the Company currently believes that its fourth quarter 2002 sales and marketing expenses will exceed 55.0% of fourth quarter sales. If the Company is unable to reduce its fourth quarter ratio of sales and marketing expenses to sales to below 55.0%, the Company will be noncompliant with this financial covenant at the end of the fourth quarter. The Company has discussed this issue with the lenders, and they are aware that in that event, it will be necessary for the Company to negotiate a waiver or amendment of this covenant with its senior lenders. Provision for Uncollectible Notes The provision for uncollectible notes as a percentage of Vacation Interval sales remained fairly constant at 20.0% for the first nine months of 2002 versus 21.8% for the same period of 2001. Due to the high level of defaults experienced in customer receivables throughout 2001, the provision for uncollectible notes remained relatively high during 2001 and 2002. Management believes the high provision percentage remained necessary in 2002 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 increased to 18.6% for the first nine months of 2002 from 16.9% for the same period of 2001 due to the decrease in revenues. However, operating, general and administrative expense decreased $1.3 million to $24.9 million during the first nine months of 2002 compared to $26.2 million for the same period of 2001 due to a substantial reduction in corporate headcount in 16 2001. During the first nine months of 2002, the Company incurred $2.0 million of professional fees associated with the restructuring of the Company and $1.0 million in audit fees related to completion of the 2000 audit. In the comparative 2001 period, the Company incurred $3.1 million in professional fees related to the restructuring of the Company. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of total revenues was 2.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to 3.3% for the same period of 2001. Overall, depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.3 million for the first nine months of 2002, as compared to 2001, primarily due to the write-off of $1.3 million of fixed assets previously used in the sales and marketing functions in the first nine months of 2001 and a general reduction in capital expenditures since 2000. Impairment Loss of Long-Lived Assets The Company recognized an impairment loss of long-lived assets of $5.4 million in the first nine months 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, a $1.4 million write-off of prepaid marketing costs related to the discontinuance of certain lead generation programs, a $230,000 loss related to the renegotiation and transfer of a capital lease to Silverleaf Club, and a $2.3 million impairment to write-down both corporate airplanes to their estimated sales prices. There was no impairment loss of long-lived assets during 2002. Interest Expense Interest expense as a percentage of interest income decreased to 61.8% for the first nine months of 2002, from 90.2% for the same period of 2001. This decrease is primarily the result of decreased borrowings against pledged notes receivable, a decrease in the Company's weighted average cost of borrowing to 6.4% in the first nine months of 2002 from 8.4% in the first nine months of 2001, and reduced senior subordinated notes due to the restructuring completed in May 2002. Income (Loss) before Benefit for Income Taxes and Extraordinary Item Income (loss) before benefit for income taxes and extraordinary item increased to income of $2.5 million for the first nine months of 2002, as compared to a loss of $22.9 million for the first nine months of 2001, as a result of the above mentioned operating results. Benefit for Income Taxes Benefit for income taxes as a percentage of income (loss) before benefit for income taxes was 61.8% in the first nine months of 2002, as compared to 0.6% for the first nine months of 2001. In the third quarter of 2002, the Company received a $1.6 million refund due to a tax law change that allowed the Company to recoup additional AMT paid in previous years. The effective income tax rate for 2002 and 2001 is also the result of the 2002 and 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. Extraordinary Item In connection with the restructuring of the Company's debt, completed in May 2002, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain of $17.9 million related to the early extinguishment of $56.9 million of 10 1/2% senior subordinated notes. There were no extraordinary items during the first nine months of 2001. Net Income (Loss) Net income (loss) increased to income of $21.9 million for the first nine months of 2002, as compared to a loss of $22.8 million for the first nine months of 2001, as a result of the above mentioned operating results. 17 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 nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company's operating activities reflected cash provided by operating activities of $48.8 million. During the same period of 2001, the Company's operating activities reflected cash used in operating activities of $29.1 million. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was the result of a decrease in new customer notes receivable due to a reduction in sales in 2002 and $57.2 million in proceeds from sales of notes receivable in 2002. Assuming that the Company's financial performance in future periods improves substantially as projected in its business model, the Company believes it will have adequate financing to operate for the two-year revolving term of the financing with the senior lenders. At that time, management will be required to replace or renegotiate the revolving arrangements subject to availability. USES OF CASH. Investing activities reflect a net use of cash due to capital additions. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 was $1.4 million and $681,000, respectively. The increase in net cash used in investing activities relates to an increase in equipment purchases in 2002. 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, net cash used in financing activities was $49.8 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $27.4 million in the same 2001 period. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was the result of reduced borrowings against pledged notes receivable and increased payments on borrowings against pledged notes receivable in 2002. At September 30, 2002, the Company's revolving credit facilities provided for loans of up to $270.1 million of which approximately $241.9 million of principal and interest related to advances under the credit facilities was outstanding. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the weighted average cost of funds for all borrowings, including the senior subordinated debt, was 6.4%. 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 2001, the Company made no sales of notes receivable to the SPE. During 2002, the Company sold $69.3 million of notes receivable to the SPE and recognized pre-tax gains of $5.4 million. The SPE funded these purchases through advances under a credit agreement arranged for this purpose. In conjunction with this sale, the Company received cash consideration of $57.2 million, which was used to pay down borrowings under its revolving loan facilities. At September 30, 2002, the SPE held notes receivable totaling $96.7 million, with related borrowings of $83.9 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. In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company sold $14.2 million of notes receivable to the SPE and recognized pre-tax gains of $1.5 million. The SPE funded these purchases through advances under a credit agreement arranged for this 18 purpose. In conjunction with this sale, the Company received cash consideration of $11.7 million, which was used to pay down borrowings under its revolving loan facilities. 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 was decreased by such amount. Subsequent to December 31, 2000, the Company applied for and received refunds of $8.3 million during 2001 and $1.6 million during 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. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2002, 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 19 totaled $240.9 million at September 30, 2002, is variable. The impact of a one-point interest rate change on the outstanding balance of variable-rate financial instruments at September 30, 2002, on the Company's results of operations for the first nine months of 2002 would be approximately $1.8 million. 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. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company maintains a system of internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of its published financial statements and other public disclosures, including the disclosures contained in this report. The Company's board of directors, operating through its audit committee, which is composed entirely of independent outside directors, provides oversight to the financial reporting process. Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this report, an evaluation was carried out by management of the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the Company concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of management's evaluation. The Company has previously devoted considerable attention and resources to remediating identified weaknesses in its internal controls. In connection with its report on the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company's former independent auditor, Deloitte & Touche LLP, identified to management and the audit committee of the board of directors certain conditions in the design and operation of the Company's internal accounting controls. Deloitte & Touche LLP concluded that such conditions, considered collectively, constituted a material weakness in the Company's internal controls. Such conditions included: deficiencies in the implementation and monitoring of internal control procedures, deficiencies and processing errors in the accounting process for notes payable, inadequate testing of borrowing bases for compliance with loan covenants, deficiencies in the accounting process for sales and notes receivable and in the methodology for estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, errors in some instances in recordation of prepaid assets and fixed assets, and weaknesses in the design, documentation and supervision of certain aspects of the Company's security administration policies and procedures concerning its management information systems. Both prior to and following the completion of the Company's debt restructuring plan discussed in note 2 of Item 1 of this report, management of the Company worked to remediate the conditions identified by Deloitte & Touche LLP. Additionally, the new audit committee of the Company, which is comprised entirely of independent directors appointed in May 2002, retained a third party consulting firm which is a member of the SEC Practice Section of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in June 2002, to fully and independently assess the Company's internal controls, as well as the remediation efforts of management. In August 2002, the consulting firm was retained by the audit committee to perform on an outsourced basis the internal audit function for the Company. In this capacity the consulting firm has periodically provided the audit committee and management with reports concerning the Company's remediation of conditions identified by Deloitte & Touche LLP and the effectiveness of internal controls. During the consulting firm's most recent evaluation of the Company's internal controls in November 2002, the consulting firm reported that no significant deficiencies came to its attention in the design or operation of internal controls which, in its judgment, could adversely affect the Company's ability to record, process, summarize and report in a timely manner accurate financial data and disclosure information, and the firm noted no material weaknesses in the design or operation of the Company's internal controls. The Company continues to evaluate the effectiveness of its remedial actions to address the conditions identified by Deloitte & Touche LLP as well as the Company's overall disclosure controls and procedures. 20 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, an action was filed against the Company in state district court in Texas by plaintiffs who purported to represent a class of individuals who purchased Vacation Intervals from the Company. The plaintiffs alleged 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 claimed 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 alleged actual class damages of $34.5 million plus consequential damages of an unspecified amount, as well as all attorneys' fees, expenses, and costs. Subsequent to the initial filing, the alleged claims and theories of recovery were amended on various occasions by the plaintiffs. After a class certification hearing before the court concluded on November 14, 2002, the court denied the plaintiffs' motion for class certification. The Company intends to vigorously defend against any appeal of the court's denial of class certification, and the remaining claims of the individual plaintiffs and believes it has several defenses. The Company has not recorded an accrual for this case. In February 2002, a class action was filed against the Company in state district court in Texas 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 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS On May 2, 2002, the Indenture (the "Old Indenture") for the Company's 10 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "Old Notes") was amended and restated with the consent of the holders of approximately 85.36% of the outstanding principal balance of the Old Notes. These consensual amendments to the Old Indenture eliminated substantially all of the restrictive covenants and modified certain other provisions of the Old Indenture, including an amendment to permit the Exchange Notes to rank senior in right of payment to the Old Notes. The holders of the Old Notes also (i) consented to a rescission of the notice of acceleration of the maturity date of the Old Notes that occurred on May 22, 2001 and (ii) waived all events of default that had occurred under the Old Indenture prior to May 2, 2002. On May 2, 2002, the Company issued $28,467,000 of its 6% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 ("Exchange Notes") and 23,937,489 shares of its common stock ("Exchange Shares") to holders of the Old Notes who tendered their Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer dated March 15, 2002. The Exchange Notes and the Exchange Shares were issued by the Company in a transaction exclusively with existing security holders in accordance with the terms of the exemption from registration afforded by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Exchange Notes are senior in right of payment to the Old Notes. For additional information about the effect of the Exchange Offer on the rights of holders of the Old Notes, see Part I, Item 1--Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited) at Note 2--Debt Restructuring beginning on page 6. 21 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. On May 2, 2002, the Company completed an exchange offer (the "Exchange Offer") commenced on March 15, 2002 regarding the Old Notes. A total of $56,934,000 in principal amount of the Company's Old Notes (representing 85.36% of all Old Notes outstanding) 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 ("Exchange Notes") and 23,937,489 shares of the Company's common stock representing approximately 65% of the common stock outstanding immediately following the Exchange Offer. 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 Old Notes were not tendered and remained outstanding at September 30, 2002. As a condition of the Exchange Offer, the Company paid all past due interest to non-tendering holders of its Old Notes on May 2, 2002. Under the terms of the Exchange Offer, the acceleration of the maturity date on the Old Notes which occurred in May 2001 was rescinded, and the original maturity date in 2008 for the Old Notes was reinstated effective as of May 2, 2002. Past due interest paid to nontendering holders of the Old Notes was $1,827,806. The indenture under which the Old Notes were issued (the "Old Indenture") was also consensually amended effective as of May 2, 2002 as a part of the Exchange Offer. As a result of the Exchange Offer, the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock increased from 12,889,417 on December 31, 2001 to 36,826,906 on May 2, 2002. At September 30, 2002, there were 36,826,906 shares of common stock outstanding. As a condition of the Exchange Offer, the Company also completed amendments to its credit facilities with its principal senior lenders as well as amendments to a $100 million conduit facility through one of its unconsolidated subsidiaries. Finalization of the Exchange Offer and the amendment of its principal credit facilities effective as of May 2, 2002, marks the completion of the Company's debt restructuring plan announced on March 15, 2002, which was necessitated by severe liquidity problems first announced by the Company on February 27, 2001. As a part of the debt restructuring, the holders of the Company's Old Notes consented to a waiver by the Old Indenture Trustee of all events of default that existed under the Old Notes or the Old Indenture on or before May 2, 2002.
