NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
(Unaudited)
In these footnotes, the words "Company," "ResortQuest," "we," "our" and
"us" refer to ResortQuest International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated or the context requires
otherwise.
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------------------------------
Overview
- --------
ResortQuest is one of the world's leading providers of vacation
condominium and home rental property management services in premier destination
resorts located in the United States and Canada. We have developed the first and
only branded international network of vacation rental properties, and currently
offer management services to over 20,000 rental properties. Our operations are
in more than 50 premier resort locations in the Beach, Hawaii, Mountain and
Desert geographical regions.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are
unaudited and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a
fair presentation of results for the interim periods have been made. The results
for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
for the full fiscal year. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and
notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2001.
Acquisition Costs
- -----------------
Costs incurred in the course of our evaluation of acquisition candidates
and the ultimate consummation of acquisitions consist primarily of attorneys'
fees, accounting fees and other costs incurred by us in identifying and closing
transactions. These costs incurred are deferred on the balance sheet as other
assets until the related transaction is either consummated or terminated. We had
no deferred acquisition costs as of December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2002.
Similar treatment and classification is followed in recording costs incurred by
us in the course of generating additional debt or equity financing. Deferred
financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $1.6 million and $1.1
million as of December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2002. Transaction costs and
the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified net assets
acquired represent goodwill (see Note 2). Goodwill is calculated based on a
preliminary estimate that is adjusted to its final balance within one year of
the close of the acquisition. Additionally, certain of our acquisitions have
"earn-up" provisions that require additional consideration to be paid if certain
operating results are achieved over periods of up to three years. This
additional consideration is recorded as goodwill when the amount is fixed and
determinable.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, we made net cash
payments approximating $3.0 million for earn-up payments related to 2001
acquisitions and other purchase accounting adjustments related to certain 2001
acquisitions. The total cost during the same period in 2001 for 2001
acquisitions and earn-up payments related to 1999 acquisitions was $27.5
million, with 6.2% of the net consideration paid in the form of common stock
with an aggregate value of $1.7 million, net of retired escrow shares, and the
remaining $25.8 million of consideration paid in cash.
NOTE 2 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
- --------------------------------------
During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, we changed our method of
accounting for reimbursable costs to conform to the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 01-14, "Income
Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for `Out-of-Pocket'
Expenses Incurred," ("EITF No. 01-14") issued earlier this year and effective
for us on January 1, 2002. As a result, reimbursements received are recorded as
revenue and the costs incurred on behalf of managed associations and properties
are recorded as expenses. These costs, which relate primarily to payroll costs
at managed properties and associations where we are the employer, are reflected
in Other revenue and expenses from managed entities in the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income. Revenues and expenses for the prior
Page 6 of 28
periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
As the reimbursements are made based upon the costs incurred with no added
margin resulting in the expenses and related revenues being identical, the
adoption of EITF No. 01-14 did not have any effect on our operating income,
total or per share net income, cash flows or financial position.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, "Business Combinations," and No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Statement No. 141 eliminates the
poolings-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations and
requires all transactions initiated after June 30, 2001, to be accounted for
using the purchase method. Under Statement No. 142, goodwill related to our
future acquisitions is not subject to amortization, and goodwill related to our
historical acquisitions is no longer amortized as of January 1, 2002. Goodwill
is subject to reviews for impairment annually and upon the occurrence of certain
events, and if impaired, a write-down will be recorded. Upon our adoption of
Statement No. 142, each of our geographical resort regions with assigned
goodwill was valued as a reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit
was greater than the book value, including assigned goodwill, no further
analysis was required. However, if the book value, including goodwill, was
greater than the fair value of the reporting unit, the assets and liabilities of
the reporting unit needed to be valued. The difference between the fair value of
the reporting unit and the fair value of the assets is the implied fair value of
goodwill. To the extent that the implied fair value of goodwill was less than
the book value of goodwill, an impairment charge was recognized as a cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle. Based on this test, we recorded a
non-cash $8.1 million write-down of our goodwill related to our Desert resort
operations that was partially off-set by a $1.9 million income tax benefit. The
Desert resort operations are expected to continue to experience declining cash
flows as a result of the economics of these markets. The following table
presents adjusted net income and earnings per share excluding goodwill
amortization:

We have completed the process of evaluating the impact of Statement No.
143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," and we do not expect this
statement to have a material impact on our financial position or results of
operations upon its adoption in 2003. Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted
Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets"; the adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our
financial position or results of operations. During the quarter ended June 30,
2002, Statement No. 145, "Rescission of Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment
of Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections," was issued and has been
adopted. This adoption had no material impact on our financial position or
results of operations. Also during the quarter ended June 30, 2002, Statement
No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," was
issued and is effective for activities initiated after December 31, 2002. We do
not expect this statement to have a material impact on our financial position or
results of operations upon its adoption in 2003.
NOTE 3 - NOTE RECEIVABLE
- ------------------------
In connection with the initial public offering, we formalized a $4.0
million promissory note resulting from cash advances to a primary stockholder
(see Note 6) of a predecessor company. On February 16, 2000, this note was
restructured in order to provide for additional collateral representing real
estate held by the former stockholder. This note bears interest at 1/2% below
the prime rate of interest, but not less than 6% and not more than 10%. Interest
payments under this note are due every January and July 1st. The principal is
recorded in Other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance
Page 7 of 28
Sheets and is due in full on May 25, 2008. To date, all interest payments due
under the restructured terms of the note have been received.
NOTE 4 - UNUSUAL ITEMS AND OTHER CHARGES
- ----------------------------------------
During the nine-months ended September 30, 2002, general and administrative
expenses include $1.1 million of items that management considers as unusual
items and other charges. During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, $625,000
of the $1.1 million was incurred for professional fees and expenses related to
an offer to acquire the Company that was determined by our Board, after
appropriate review, not to be in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders. The remaining $500,000 was incurred during the quarter ended March
31, 2002, for professional fees resulting from employee-related matters and a
study to explore financing and strategic growth alternatives.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, general and administrative
expenses include $3.8 million of items that management considers as unusual
expenses and other charges. These charges include a $1.5 million non-cash
write-down of certain previously issued First Resort Software versions, a $1.1
million non-cash write-off of deferred acquisition costs related to acquisition
candidates that will no longer be pursued, a $303,000 non-cash write-off of
miscellaneous receivables, and $958,000 in employee-related charges.
NOTE 5 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
- ---------------------------
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if outstanding options to purchase our securities are exercised. The
following table reflects our weighted average common shares outstanding and the
impact of outstanding dilutive stock options:

NOTE 6 - LITIGATION
- -------------------
On May 26, 2000, Hotel Corp. of the Pacific, Inc., a subsidiary of
ResortQuest International doing business as Aston Hotels & Resorts, instituted
legal proceedings in the Circuit Court for the First Circuit of Hawaii against
Andre S. Tatibouet, the president of Hotel Corp. This action arose out of a
document styled "Cooperation Agreement" that was signed by Andre S. Tatibouet,
purporting to act on behalf of Hotel Corp., on the one hand, with Cendant Global
Services B.V. and Aston Hotels & Resorts International, Inc., on the other hand.
The Cooperation Agreement contains several provisions that are detrimental to
Hotel Corp., including provisions purporting to transfer certain intellectual
property and limit certain intellectual property rights held by Hotel Corp.
Monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, and negligent
misrepresentation were sought by Hotel Corp. By order of the Circuit Court, the
claims asserted by Hotel Corp. in the lawsuit were consolidated with an
arbitration demand, filed with the American Arbitration Association by Mr.
Tatibouet, in which he alleged various breaches of his employment agreement with
Hotel Corp.
The arbitration hearing took place in September 2001, where Mr. Tatibouet
claimed damages of approximately $17.5 million and ResortQuest claimed damages
of approximately $4.7 million. On March 14, 2002, the arbitration panel issued
its Reasoned Opinion and Final Award. The panel concluded that Mr. Tatibouet had
breached his fiduciary duty to Hotel Corp. and awarded Hotel Corp. $55,559
related to the reimbursement of certain legal expenses. The panel denied all of
Mr. Tatibouet's claims and requests for damages as well as declaratory and other
relief.
On May 26, 2000, ResortQuest International and Hotel Corp. brought an
action in the Circuit Court for the First Circuit of Hawaii against Cendant
Corporation, Aston Hotels & Resort International Inc. and Cendant Global
Services B.V ("Defendants") seeking damages for breach of contract against
Cendant, and the equitable remedies or rescission and replevin. This action
arose out of Mr. Andre S. Tatibouet's purported negotiation on behalf of Hotel
Corp. of the Pacific, Inc., a subsidiary of ResortQuest International, of a
document styled Cooperation Agreement.
Page 8 of 28
ResortQuest and Cendant entered into an amended Cooperation Agreement on
July 15, 2002. As a result of the execution of that agreement, on July 15, 2002,
ResortQuest moved to dismiss its court action against Defendants by filing a
stipulation for complete dismissal with prejudice as to all claims and parties.
We are also involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary
course of our business. We do not believe that any of the remaining actions will
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results
of operations.
NOTE 7 - LONG-TERM DEBT
- -----------------------
Included in long-term debt on the accompanying September 30, 2002 Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet is approximately $30.9 million of borrowings under
our Credit Facility. At September 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with
all covenants of our borrowing agreements. Based on current forecasts that
include estimated severance charges (see note 9), management is anticipating
that the Company will not be in compliance with certain debt covenants of our
Credit Facility and $50.0 million Senior Secured Notes at December 31, 2002.
Management and the lenders are currently in discussion to amend the borrowing
agreements. Significant changes to the current terms of the agreements may
result from any amendment. These changes may include certain restrictive
covenants and higher interest rates.
NOTE 8 - SEGMENT REPORTING
- --------------------------
We have one operating segment, property management, which is managed as one
business unit. The All other segment includes ResortQuest Technologies and
corporate. At December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2002, approximately 47% and
51%, respectively, of the All other segment assets represents goodwill recorded
for ResortQuest Technologies and corporate. The following table presents the
revenues, operating income and assets of our reportable segment:

than 50 premier resort locations in the Beach, Hawaii, Mountain and Desert
geographical regions.
Our rental properties are generally second homes or investment properties
owned by individuals who assign us the responsibility of managing, marketing and
renting their properties. We earn management fees as a percentage of the rental
income from each property, but have no ownership interest in the properties. In
addition to the vacation property management business, we offer real estate
brokerage services and other rental and property owner services. We also have
developed an industry leading proprietary vacation rental management software,
First Resort Software, with over 900 licenses sold to vacation property
management companies.
We provide value-added services to both vacationers and property owners.
For vacationers, we offer the value, convenience and features of a condominium
or home while providing many of the amenities and services of a hotel. For
property owners, we offer a comprehensive package of marketing, management and
rental services designed to enhance rental income and profitability while
providing services to maintain the property. Property owners also benefit from
our QuestPerks program, which offers benefits such as discounts on lodging, air
travel and car rentals. To manage guests' expectations, we have developed and
implemented a five-tier rating system that segments our property portfolio into
five categories: Quest Home, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze.
Utilizing our marketing database, we market our properties through national
cable television ad campaigns and various other media channels. We have
significant distribution through ResortQuest.com, our proprietary website
offering "real-time" reservations, and our inventory distribution partnerships
that include Expedia, Travelocity, Condosaver.com, retail travel agents, travel
wholesalers and others. We have an alliance with Online Travel Corporation,
PLC., to exclusively develop the ResortQuest brand in Europe by using our
technology and expertise in this industry.
We are constantly enhancing our website to improve the booking experience
for leisure travelers. In addition to detailed property descriptions, virtual
tours, interior and exterior photos, floor plans, and local information,
vacationers can search for properties by date, activity, event or location;
comparison shop among similar vacation rental units; check for special discounts
and promotions; and obtain maps and driving directions. The site also allows
foreign travelers to obtain currency conversion rates.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Our operating results are highly seasonal due to the geographical
dispersion of the resort locations in which we operate. The results of
operations are subject to quarterly fluctuations caused primarily by the
seasonal variations in the vacation rental and property management industry,
with peak seasons dependent on whether the resort is primarily a summer or
winter destination. Our financial results are discussed on a consolidated basis,
but due to the seasonal nature of our operations, our results are also discussed
by geographic region with Other representing our corporate and ResortQuest
Technologies operations. For better analysis, the nine-months ended September
30, 2002 discussions include "same-store" comparisons. Same-store comparisons
exclude the impact of the two acquisitions completed since the first day of the
earliest period being discussed. One of these acquisitions is located in our
Mountain operations in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, effective April 1, 2001, and the
other in our Beach operations in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, effective
April 1, 2001.
Due to the recent challenges facing leisure travel companies presented by
the softening economy and the impact of the tragic events of September 11, 2001,
our revenues are down over prior year as leisure travel demand has softened. In
order to maintain occupancy levels, we charged lower room rates, which resulted
in lower overall revenues. Despite these industry-wide challenges, we are proud
of how we have been able to reduce costs, maintain occupancy and continue to
position ResortQuest to realize significant growth in the future.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended
September 30, 2001 - Consolidated
Revenues. Revenues increased slightly by $389,000, or 0.7%, from $57.6
million in 2001 to $58.0 million in 2002. Excluding Other revenues from managed
entities, revenues decreased $286,000, or 0.6%, from $48.7 million in 2001 to
$48.4 million in 2002, due to a 4.2% decrease in gross lodging revenues
primarily driven by a lower Average Daily Rate ("ADR").
Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses decreased $1.0
million, or 4.2%, from $24.0 million in 2001 to $23.0 million in 2002, primarily
due to cost reduction initiatives announced during 2001 that have been focusing
on more efficient staffing. As a percentage of revenues, direct operating
expenses decreased 2.0 points due to the decrease in same-store revenues.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
decreased $2.8 million, or 17.3%, from $16.0 million in 2001 to $13.3 million in
2002, primarily due to the $3.8 million in items recorded in September 2001 that
management considers as unusual items and other charges (see Note 4). Excluding
the $625,000 in unusual items and other charges recorded in 2002 and the $3.8
million recorded in 2001, general and administrative expenses increased
$450,000, or 3.7%, from $12.2 million in 2001 to $12.7 million in 2002,
primarily due to increased staffing at the new technology office that opened
last fall and an increase in bad debt expense due to the write off of certain
receivables. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses
decreased 5.0 points due to the decrease in expenses while revenues remained
relatively flat.
Other expenses from managed entities. Other expenses from managed entities
increased $675,000, or 7.6%, from $8.9 million in 2001 to $9.6 million in 2002,
due to an increase in payroll for managed entities. These expenses are
reimbursed at our cost by our entities under our management (see Note 2). The
reimbursements for these amounts are reflected in revenues. As a percentage of
revenues, other expenses from managed entities increased 1.0 points due to
decrease in same-store revenues.
Depreciation. Depreciation increased $394,000, or 28.6%, from $1.4 million
in 2001 to $1.8 million in 2002, primarily due to increased technology capital
expenditures related to enhancements to our website and the release of the new
version of First Resort Software. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation
increased 0.7 points due to the increase in technology capital expenditures.
Goodwill amortization. Upon the adoption of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," goodwill is
no longer being amortized as of January 1, 2002 (see Note 2).
Interest and other expense, net. Interest expense, net of interest income,
increased $578,000, or 55.4%, from $1.0 million in 2001 to $1.6 million in 2002,
primarily due to increased debt levels and an increased weighted average
borrowing rate. As a percentage of revenues, interest increased 1.0 point due to
the increase in borrowing costs.
Page 11 of 28
Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes decreased $996,000,
or 23.4%, from $4.3 million in 2001 to $3.3 million in 2002, primarily due to
the $2.3 million cumulative income tax expense adjustment recorded in September
2001, related to the projected decline in earnings for the remainder of 2001.
Excluding this adjustment, provision for income taxes increased $1.3 million, or
65.8%, from $2.0 million in 2001 to $3.3 million in 2002, due to an increase in
taxable income.

revenues decreased $8.7 million, or 6.4%, from $137.5 million in 2001 to $128.8
million in 2002, primarily due to a 7.3% decrease in gross lodging revenues
primarily driven by lower ADR and a slight decline in occupancy.
Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses decreased $2.2
million, or 3.3%, from $66.4 million in 2001 to $64.2 million in 2002, primarily
due to cost reduction initiatives and a slight decline in occupancy. As a

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
decreased $3.6 million, or 8.4%, from $42.6 million in 2001 to $39.0 million in
2002, primarily due to the $3.8 million in items recorded in September 2001 that
management considers as unusual items and other charges (see Note 4). Excluding
the $1.1 million in unusual items and other charges recorded in 2002 and the
$3.8 million recorded in 2001, general and administrative expenses decreased
$870,000, or 2.2%, from $38.7 million in 2001 to $37.8 million in 2002,
primarily due to significant decreases at our Mountain and Beach operations
related to cost reduction initiatives, partially off-set by increases at our
Hawaiian operations driven by professional fees for a favorable mediation
settlement and increased staffing at the new technology office that opened last
fall in Colorado. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative
expenses decreased 1.2 points, primarily due to the decrease in expenses.
Other expenses from managed entities. Other expenses from managed entities
increased $2.4 million, or 9.9%, from $24.6 million in 2001 to $27.0 million in

in 2001 to $4.7 million in 2002, primarily due to increased technology capital
expenditures related to enhancements to our website and the release of the new
version of First Resort Software. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation
increased 0.6 points due to the increase in technology capital expenditures and
the decrease in same store revenues.
Goodwill amortization. Upon the adoption of Statement of Financial

increased $1.4 million, or 45.2%, from $3.1 million in 2001 to $4.5 million in
2002, primarily due to increased debt levels and an increased weighted average

the increase in borrowing costs and a decrease in same-store revenues.
Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes decreased $3.4
million, or 35.8%, from $9.6 million in 2001 to $6.2 million in 2002, primarily

to $6.5 million in 2002. Excluding Other revenue from managed entities, revenues
decreased $427,000, or 6.3%, from $6.8 million in 2001 to $6.3 million in 2002,
primarily due to an 8.1% decrease in gross lodging revenues driven by a 3.6
point decline in occupancy.
Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses decreased $277,000, or
5.2%, from $5.4 million in 2001 to $5.0 million in 2002, primarily due to the
decline in occupancy. As a percentage of revenues, direct operating expenses
increased 0.5 points, primarily due to the decrease in revenues.

Revenues. Revenues decreased $57,000, or 18.5%, from $308,000 in 2001 to
$251,000 in 2002 primarily due to the 26.6% decrease in lodging revenues
primarily driven by a decline in managed units and a decline in occupancy.
Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses increased $36,000, or
12.1%, from $298,000 in 2001 to $334,000 in 2002, primarily due to increased
marketing expenditures by our Arizona operations. As a percentage of revenues,
direct operating expenses increased 36.3 points due these increased
expenditures.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased $31,000, or 13.4%, from $231,000 in 2001 to $262,000 in 2002,
primarily due to increased payroll related to certain managerial changes and an
increase in insurance costs. As a percentage of revenues, general and
administrative expenses increased 29.4 points due to the increase in general and
administrative expenses and the decrease in lodging revenues.
Other expenses from managed entities. These operations do not have any
arrangements with managed entities to receive reimbursements for any payroll
related costs.
Depreciation. Depreciation decreased $8,000, or 38.1%, from $21,000 in 2001
to $13,000 in 2002, primarily due to certain in-service assets being fully
depreciated. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation decreased 1.6 points due
to the decrease in depreciation expense.
Goodwill amortization. Upon the adoption of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," goodwill is
no longer being amortized as of January 1, 2002. The goodwill balances related
to our Desert operations were considered impaired upon the January 1, 2002
adoption of this standard. As a result, we recorded a non-cash $8.1 million
write-down of goodwill, partially off-set by a $1.9 million income tax benefit
(see Note 2).

September 30, 2001 - Desert
Revenues. Revenues decreased $580,000, or 21.3%, from $2.7 million in 2001
to $2.1 million in 2002, primarily due to the 22.4% decrease in lodging revenues
primarily driven by a 1.7 point decline in occupancy and a 17.5% decline in
managed units.
Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses decreased $69,000, or
5.5%, from $1.3 million in 2001 to $1.2 million in 2002, primarily due to the

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
ResortQuest conducts all of its operations through its subsidiaries
operating in over 50 premier resort locations. Accordingly, the primary internal
source of our liquidity is through the cash flows realized from our subsidiaries
and our long-term borrowings. We utilize a consolidated daily cash management
system that allows us to fully utilize all unrestricted cash to repay
outstanding debt in order to reduce our net interest expense.
We generated $7.9 million of cash in operating activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 primarily due to decreases in cash held in
escrow and trade and other receivables. Cash used in investing activities was
approximately $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, due to
$3.0 million in net acquisition related payments and $5.7 million in purchases
of property, equipment and software. The majority of these costs represent our
continued investment in the new release of our First Resort Software product
launched in July 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, cash used
in financing activities totaled $2.0 million, primarily due to net borrowings
under our Credit Facility.
At September 30, 2002, we had approximately $15.5 million in cash, of which
$14.0 million represents cash held in escrow. The cash held in escrow is
released at varying times in accordance with state regulations, generally based
upon the guest stay or, in the case of real estate sales deposits, when the
property is sold. At September 30, 2002, we had a working capital deficit of
$17.5 million and up to $9.1 million remaining, subject to certain restrictions,
available under our Credit Facility. We anticipate that our cash flows from
operations will provide cash in excess of our normal working capital needs, debt
service requirements and planned capital expenditures over the next year.
Long-Term Borrowings
- --------------------
As of September 30, 2002, our long-term debt, including current maturities,
was comprised of $50.0 million in Senior Notes due June 2004, $30.9 million in
borrowings under our Credit Facility that expires in January 2004 and $65,000 in
capital lease obligations and other borrowings assumed in connection with
certain acquisitions that have varying maturities through 2004. At September 30,
2002 the Company was in compliance with all covenants of our borrowing
agreements. Based on current forecasts that include estimated severance charges
(see Note 9), management is anticipating that the Company will not be in
compliance with certain debt covenants of our Credit Facility and $50.0 million
Senior Secured Notes at December 31, 2002. Management and the lenders are
currently in discussion to amend the borrowing agreements. Significant changes
to the current terms of the agreements may result from any amendment. These
changes may include certain restrictive covenants and higher interest rates.
Registration and Equity Offerings
- ---------------------------------
We have registered 8.0 million shares of common stock through various shelf
registration statement filings. As of September 30, 2002, we had issued
3,289,487 shares under these shelf registration
Page 19 of 28
statements in connection with acquisitions, with the remaining 4,710,513 shares
available for future acquisitions.
Acquisition Strategy
- --------------------
Although our strategy is to focus on internal growth, we intend to continue
to pursue, subject to our debt agreements, selected acquisition opportunities in
strategic and existing markets. There can be no assurance that we will be able
to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional businesses or successfully
integrate acquired businesses into our operations without substantial costs,
delays or other operational or financial problems. Increased competition for
acquisition candidates may develop, in which event there may be fewer
acquisition opportunities available to us, as well as higher acquisition prices.
Furthermore, acquisitions involve a number of risks, including the failure of
acquired companies to achieve anticipated results, diversion of management's
attention, failure to retain key personnel, risks associated with unanticipated
events or liabilities and amortization of acquired intangible assets. Some or
all of these could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
The timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the associated
potential capital commitments are unpredictable. We expect to fund future
acquisitions primarily through a combination of cash flows from operations,
borrowings under our Credit Facility, other debt fundings and the issuance of
common stock. Our ability to fund future acquisitions through borrowings under
the Credit Facility may be limited by certain restrictive covenants of the
facility, the satisfaction of which may be dependent upon our ability to raise
additional equity through either offerings for cash or the issuance of stock as
consideration for acquisitions.
Non-Compete and Employment Agreements
- -------------------------------------
We have entered into non-compete agreements with many of the former owners
of the companies that now comprise ResortQuest. These non-compete agreements are
generally three to five years in length effective the day the operations are
merged with ResortQuest. Additionally, we have entered into employment
agreements with many of these former owners, all senior corporate officers and
several key employees. Among other things, these agreements allow for severance
payments and some include acceleration of stock option awards upon a change in
control of ResortQuest, as defined under the agreements. At September 30, 2002,
the maximum amount of compensation that would be payable under all agreements if
a change in control occurred without prior written notice would have been
approximately $16.0 million.
Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations
- --------------------------------------
Our business is highly seasonal. Our results of operations are subject to
quarterly fluctuations caused primarily by the seasonal variations in the
vacation rental and property management industry, with peak seasons dependent on
whether the resort is primarily a summer or winter destination. Our quarterly
results of operations may also be subject to fluctuations as a result of the
timing and cost of acquisitions, the timing of real estate sales, changes in
relationships with travel providers, extreme weather conditions or other factors
affecting leisure travel and the vacation rental and property management
industry.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
- ------------------------------------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. We continually evaluate our estimates and
assumptions, including those related to bad debts, trade and other receivables,
valuation of property, equipment and software, goodwill, self-insurance
reserves, contingencies and litigation. Our estimates and assumptions are based
on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. We believe the following critical
accounting policies affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used
in preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results
could differ from our estimates.
Page 20 of 28
Trade and other receivables are reflected net of an estimated allowance for
doubtful accounts. This estimate is based primarily on historical experience and
assumptions with respect to future payment trends.
Property, equipment and software are stated at cost, or in the case of
equipment acquired under capital lease, the present value of future lease
payments, less accumulated depreciation. Certain costs for developing,
customizing and installing software for internal use and for sale to third
parties are capitalized. Revenues related to the sale of software to third
parties are recognized when the systems are installed. Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the recorded
assets or the lease terms. We periodically, or upon the occurrence of certain
events, review the balances of these long-lived assets for possible impairment.
The assessment of long-lived assets for impairment requires us to make certain
judgments and estimates, including the estimate of cash flows from the
respective assets.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," as of January 1, 2002, the goodwill
balance recorded by the Company is no longer being amortized, but is reviewed
annually, and upon the occurrence of certain events, for impairment. The
calculation of the impairment charge recorded on January 1, 2002 requires us to
make estimates of future cash flows with respect to the identified net assets
acquired. Prior to January 1, 2002, goodwill had been amortized on a
straight-line basis over 40 years, other than that associated with the
acquisition of First Resort Software, Inc., which had been amortized over 15
years.
We are self-insured for various levels of workers' compensation and
employee medical and dental insurance coverage. Insurance reserves include the
present values of projected settlements for claims. Projected settlements are
estimated based on historical trends and actuarial data.
We are involved with various legal actions arising in the course of our
business. Legal reserves are established for actions where the outcomes of the
cases are probable and monetary damages are reasonably estimable as determined
by in-house and external legal counsel. We do not believe that any of the
remaining actions will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations.
Revenues are primarily derived through property management fees, service
fees and real estate commissions. Property management fees are recognized as
services are provided. Real estate commissions are recognized for real estate
brokerage commissions at time of closing.
New Accounting Pronouncements
- -----------------------------
During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, we changed our method of
accounting for reimbursable costs to conform to the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 01-14, "Income
Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for `Out-of-Pocket'
Expenses Incurred" ("EITF No. 01-14"), issued earlier this year and effective
for us on January 1, 2002. As a result, reimbursements received are recorded as
revenue and the costs incurred on behalf of managed associations and properties
are recorded as expenses. These costs, which relate primarily to payroll costs
at managed properties and associations where we are the employer, are reflected
in other revenue and expenses, from managed entities in the condensed
consolidated statements of income. Revenues and expenses for the prior periods
have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. As the
reimbursements are made based upon the costs incurred with no added margin
resulting in the expenses and related revenues being identical, the adoption of
EITF No. 01-14 did not have any effect on our operating income, total or per
share net income, cash flows or financial position.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, "Business Combinations," and No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Statement No. 141 eliminated the
poolings-of-interest method of accounting for business combinations and requires
all transactions initiated after June 30, 2001, to be accounted for using the
purchase method. Under Statement No. 142, goodwill related to our future
acquisitions is not subject to amortization, and goodwill related to our
historical acquisitions is no longer amortized as of January 1, 2002. Goodwill
is subject to reviews for impairment annually and upon the occurrence of certain
events, and if impaired, a write-down will be recorded. Upon our adoption of
Statement No. 142, each of our geographical resort regions with assigned
goodwill was valued as a reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit
was greater than the book value, including assigned goodwill, no further testing
was required. However, if the book value, including goodwill, was greater than
the fair value of the reporting unit, the assets and liabilities of the
reporting unit and the fair value of the assets is the implied fair value of
goodwill. To the extent that the implied fair value of goodwill was less than
the book value of goodwill, an impairment charge was recognized as a cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle. Based on this test, we recorded a
non-cash $8.1 million write-down of our goodwill related to our Desert resort
operations, partially off-set by a $1.9 million income tax benefit. The Desert
resort operations are expected to continue to experience declining cash flows as
a result of the economics of the Desert
Page 21 of 28
markets. See Note 2 for the table presenting the adjusted net income and
earnings per share excluding goodwill amortization.
We have completed the process of evaluating the impact of Statement No.
143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," and we do not expect this
statement to have a material impact on our financial position or results of
operations upon its adoption in 2003. Effective January 1, 2002 we adopted
Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets"; the adoption of this statement did not have a material impact to our
financial position or results of operations. Also during the quarter ended June
30, 2002, Statement No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or
Disposal Activities," was issued and is effective for activities initiated after
December 31, 2002. We do not expect Statement No. 146 to have a material impact
on our financial position or results of operation upon its adoption in 2003.
Risks Associated With Forward Looking Statements
- ------------------------------------------------
This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, and Section 21E of the

dependence on technology, e-commerce and travel providers. Important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not
limited to, those listed in our previous filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking
statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be
inaccurate, and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking
statements included in this filing will prove to be accurate. In light of the

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
We do not have significant market risk with respect to interest rates,
foreign currency exchanges or other market rate or price risks, and we do not
hold any financial instruments for trading purposes. At September 30, 2002,
$30.9 million of our long-term borrowings accrue interest at variable interest
rates. Based on this debt level, annual interest expense would increase by
approximately $173,000, if interest rates were to increase by 56 basis points,
or 10%, over the current weighted average interest rate of these variable rate
borrowings.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
- --------------------------------
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried
out an evaluation, under the supervision of the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer and with the participation of the Company's
management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based
upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in
timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to
be included in the Company's periodic Securities and Exchange Commission
filings. No significant changes were made in the Company's internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to
the date of their evaluation.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
- ---------------------------
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
- --------------------------
On May 26, 2000, Hotel Corp. of the Pacific, Inc., a subsidiary of
ResortQuest International doing business as Aston Hotels & Resorts, instituted
legal proceedings in the Circuit Court for the First Circuit of Hawaii against
Andre S. Tatibouet, the president of Hotel Corp. This action arose out of a
document styled "Cooperation Agreement" that was signed by Andre S. Tatibouet,
purporting to act on behalf of Hotel Corp., on the one hand, with Cendant Global
Services B.V. and Aston Hotels & Resorts International, Inc., on the other hand.
The Cooperation Agreement contains several provisions that are detrimental to
Hotel Corp., including provisions purporting to transfer certain intellectual
property and limit certain intellectual property rights held by Hotel Corp.
Monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, and negligent
misrepresentation were sought by Hotel Corp. By order of the Circuit Court, the
claims asserted by Hotel Corp. in the lawsuit were consolidated with an
arbitration demand, filed with the American Arbitration Association by Mr.
Tatibouet, in which he alleged various breaches of his employment agreement with
Hotel Corp.
The arbitration hearing took place in September 2001, where Mr. Tatibouet
claimed damages of approximately $17.5 million and ResortQuest claimed damages
of approximately $4.7 million. On March 14, 2002, the arbitration panel issued
its Reasoned Opinion and Final Award. The panel concluded that Mr. Tatibouet had
breached his fiduciary duty to Hotel Corp. and awarded Hotel Corp. $55,559
related to the reimbursement of certain legal expenses. The panel denied all of
Mr. Tatibouet's claims and requests for damages as well as declaratory and other
relief.
On May 26, 2000, ResortQuest International and Hotel Corp. bought and
action in the Circuit Court for the First Circuit of Hawaii against Cendant
Corporation, Aston Hotels & Resort International Inc. and Cendant Global
Services B.V ("Defendants") seeking damages for breach of contract against
Cendant, and the equitable remedies or rescission and replevin. This action
arose out of Mr. Andre S. Tatibouet's purported negotiation on behalf of Hotel
Corp. of the Pacific, Inc., a subsidiary of ResortQuest International, of a
document styled Cooperation Agreement.
ResortQuest and Cendant entered into an amended Cooperation Agreement on
July 15, 2002. As a result of the execution of that agreement, on July 15, 2002
ResortQuest moved to dismiss its court action against Defendants by filing a
stipulation for complete dismissal with prejudice as to all claims and parties.
We are also involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary
course of our business. We do not believe that any of the remaining actions will
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results
of operations.
