PART I
This Form 10-K contains certain "forward-looking statements," including
statements regarding, among other items, the Company's growth strategy, industry
and demographic trends, the Company's ability to finance its operations and
anticipated trends in its business. Actual results could differ materially from
these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including,
but not limited to, the Company's need for additional financing, intense
competition in various aspects of its business, the risks of rapid growth, its
dependence on key personnel and other factors.
Items 1 and 2. Business and Properties
The Company
ILX Resorts Incorporated ("ILX or the "Company") is one of the leading
developers, marketers and operators of timeshare resorts in the western United
States. The Company's principal operations consist of (i) acquiring, developing
and operating timeshare resorts, marketed by the Company as vacation ownership
resorts, (ii) marketing and selling vacation ownership interests in the
timeshare resorts, which typically have entitled the buyers thereof to ownership
of a fully-furnished unit for a one-week period on either an annual or an
alternate year (i.e., biennial) basis ("Vacation Ownership Interests"), and
(iii) providing purchase money financing to the buyers of Vacation Ownership
Interests at its resorts. In addition, the Company receives revenues from the
rental of its unused or unsold inventory of units at its vacation ownership
resorts, and from the sale of food, beverages and other services at such
resorts. The Company's current portfolio of resorts consists of four resorts in
Arizona, one in Indiana, and one in Colorado, and the Company is constructing a
seventh resort in Tucson, Arizona (collectively, the "ILX Resorts"). At December
31, 1997, the ILX Resorts (excluding the Tucson property currently under
construction) represented an aggregate of 391 units and 20,171 sold and unsold
one-week Vacation Ownership Interests. Upon completion of the Tucson property
currently under construction, the Company expects to own an aggregate of 453
units, comprising 23,395 (sold and unsold) one-week Vacation Ownership
Interests. The Company also markets additional interests, which consisted, at
December 31, 1997, of an aggregate of approximately 84 Vacation Ownership
Interests in destination resorts owned by others and located in Florida, Mexico
and elsewhere, and the rights to market Vacation Ownership Interests in four
destination resorts owned by an unaffiliated third party and located on the
island of Kauai, Hawaii (collectively, the "Additional Interests").
The Company was founded in 1986 and commenced implementation of its
current operating and growth strategies in the fourth quarter of 1991. During
the period from December 31, 1991 through December 31, 1997, the Company
increased the number of ILX Resorts from two to seven, and increased its total
inventory of sold and unsold Vacation Ownership Interests from 9,915 weeks to
23,479 weeks (including 3,224 under construction at VCA-Tucson and the 84
Additional Interests). The Company's total revenues increased from $6.1 million
in 1991 to $36.4 million in 1997. During this period, the Company's growth was
fueled principally by the acquisition, redevelopment and expansion of certain
ILX Resorts and the marketing and sale of Vacation Ownership Interests in these
resorts.
The Company believes it was able to purchase the ILX Resorts and the
Additional Interests at relatively attractive prices because of its skill in
locating, identifying and acquiring distressed or underdeveloped resorts and
Vacation Ownership Interests. The Company successfully utilized this strategy in
connection with Los Abrigados in Sedona, Arizona (175 units), the Kohl's Ranch
Lodge in Payson, Arizona (52 units) and, most recently, the Roundhouse Resort in
Pinetop/Lakeside, Arizona (59 existing units owned by current owners of Vacation
Ownership Interests and planned expansion of approximately 100 units).
Utilizing management's development expertise, the Company developed and
implemented the Varsity Clubs concept. This concept entails ground-up
development of urban vacation ownership properties strategically situated in
tourist destinations which are accessible to major population centers near
prominent colleges and universities. The first Varsity Club, VCA-South Bend,
consisting of 62 units, was completed in August 1995 and is located
approximately three miles from the University of Notre Dame in South Bend,
Indiana. Construction of a second Varsity Club, VCA-Tucson, consisting of 62
planned units, located near the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona, is
scheduled for completion in April 1998. The scope of the Company's activities
since 1991 have enabled the Company's management team, which has significant
experience in the vacation ownership resort and real estate development
industries, to establish substantial in-house capabilities in areas critical to
the Company's operating and growth strategies, including property identification
and acquisition, property development and rehabilitation, and Vacation Ownership
Interest sales and marketing.
The Company is pursuing a two-pronged operating strategy which focuses
on marketing Vacation Ownership Interests in the Company's convenient access
resorts ("CARs") and in its Varsity Clubs. CARs are typically high-quality
vacation ownership
3
resorts situated in settings of natural beauty and located within convenient and
inexpensive travelling distance from major population centers (currently Phoenix
and Denver). The Company's CARs are intended to facilitate more frequent
"short-stay" getaways, which the Company believes is an increasingly popular
vacation trend. As of December 31, 1997, the Company operated five CARs
consisting of 329 units and held 5,355 unsold Vacation Ownership Interests in
those CARS. The Company's inventory of CARs has been marketed primarily by ILX
employees at the Company's on-site sales offices located at or near selected ILX
Resorts.
Although purchasers will continue to be able to purchase Vacation
Ownership Interests at any individual ILX Resort or an Additional Interest,
commencing in 1998, the Company's inventory of CARs will also be marketed
through membership interests in its proprietary branded Premiere Vacation Club.
The Premiere Vacation Club will offer purchasers a deeded one-week membership
interest which may be used at any time between certain specified dates at any
one of the ILX Resorts included in the Premiere Vacation Club, or may be split
into multiple stays of shorter duration at any combination of such resorts. In
addition, Premiere Vacation Club membership interests may be exchanged for a
stay at other resorts through the major national exchange networks in which ILX
Owners may participate, such as RCI and II. Substantially all of the Company's
inventory of Vacation Ownership Interests, including those at its Varsity Clubs
and those to be included in the Premiere Vacation Club, qualify as "red time,"
the highest demand classification for purposes of participation in such exchange
networks. The Company believes that its Premiere Vacation Club concept will be
appealing to customers because of its emphasis on flexible use options (e.g.,
floating days, two-day uses and the ability to split a purchased membership
interest), locations within convenient driving distances from major metropolitan
areas and other features (e.g., high quality amenities and food and beverage
discounts at its participating ILX Resorts).
In addition to marketing through its Premiere Vacation Club, the
Company intends to aggressively pursue the expansion of its proprietary branded
Varsity Club concept. The Company will focus on development of additional
Varsity Clubs in areas with a significant base of existing tourism and access to
major population centers, which are located near prominent colleges and
universities in the western United States. The Company completed construction
and commenced operations of its prototype Varsity Club property, VCA-South Bend,
located near the University of Notre Dame, in 1995. Construction of a second
Varsity Club, VCA-Tucson, located near the University of Arizona in Tucson,
Arizona, is expected to be completed in April 1998. The Company intends to
develop its Varsity Club properties at attractive locations for visiting
tourists who may rent accommodations or purchase a Vacation Ownership Interest
from the Company. In connection with the purchase of a Vacation Ownership
Interest, Varsity Clubs offer area residents an urban "city club" experience
with unlimited day-use privileges, as well as the opportunity to participate in
the II Vacation Ownership Interest exchange network. The Company believes that
Varsity Clubs offer features common to a "city club", including a fitness
center, swimming pool, bar, restaurant/ lounge, billiards and large
sitting/welcome room. In addition, the Varsity Clubs concept enables the Company
to enlarge the Company's target list of potential purchasers by utilizing an
identification with the local university to market Vacation Ownership Interests
to alumni, sports season ticket holders, parents of university students and
corporate sponsors of university events, among others, who attend the sporting,
academic and cultural events regularly hosted by various universities, thereby
enlarging the Company's target base of potential purchasers. Varsity Clubs offer
a flexible ownership structure which permits the purchase of Vacation Ownership
Interests consisting of a single day, a collection of single days (such as
selected days during an entire specified sports season) or a traditional
one-week period, in addition to unlimited use of the common areas for "city
club" use. The Company believes that direct marketing to a large target base of
potential purchasers with university affiliations will enable the Company to
achieve premium pricing with respect to those-portions of its inventory which
coincide with high demand for accommodations at prominent university-sponsored
events. The Company also believes that its success in gaining access to alumni
and other target potential purchasers with relationships to the University of
Notre Dame or the University of Arizona may facilitate similar arrangements with
other universities in the areas in which future Varsity Clubs are developed.
During 1997, the Company sold 2,512 annual and biennial Vacation
Ownership Interests at the ILX Resorts, compared to 2,320 and 2,195 during 1996
and 1995, respectively. The average sales price for a Vacation Ownership
Interest (excluding sales of Upgrades) was $10,994 for an annual interest and
$6,506 for a biennial interest, resulting in a weighted average price of $11,963
(each biennial interest is treated as one-half of an annual interest) during the
year ended December 31, 1996 and $11,444 for an annual interest and $6,899 for a
biennial interest, resulting in a weighted average price of $12,656 during the
year ended December 31, 1997. At December 31, 1997, the Company had an existing
inventory of 7,105 unsold Vacation Ownership Interests (including Vacation
Ownership Interests in the CARS, VCA-South Bend and the Additional Interests)
and a master plan, subject to consumer demand, receipt of applicable permits and
other contingencies generally applicable to real estate development, to
construct up to 11,438 (including 3,224 to be constructed at VCA-Tucson)
additional Vacation Ownership Interests through 1999 and thereafter at the
existing ILX Resorts.

fourth quarter of 1997. The Company will begin marketing an aggregate of 510
Vacation Ownership Interests at this resort in the first quarter of 1998.
Kohl's Ranch Lodge. Kohl's Ranch is a 10.5 acre property located 17
miles northeast of Payson, Arizona and approximately 105 miles from Phoenix,
Arizona. It is bordered on the eastern side by Tonto Creek and is surrounded by

additional creekside cabin units (624 one-week Vacation Ownership Interests),
which it intends to develop in 1998.

hiking and other outdoor activities.
6
At an elevation of 7,200 feet, the Roundhouse Resort is set in a location that
offers four seasons, a distinct contrast to Arizona's arid lowlands. Roundhouse
Resort is an RCI resort.
As of December 31, 1997, the Roundhouse Resort contained 2,950 one-week
Vacation Ownership Interests, all of which were sold by the previous owners of
this resort. However, the Company intends to expand this resort through the
construction of up to 100 additional units (representing up to 5,200 Vacation
Ownership Interests) commencing with 40 units (representing 2,080 Vacation
Ownership Interests) in late 1998 or 1999.
Golden Eagle Resort. The Golden Eagle Resort is a four acre property
located in the town of Estes Park, Colorado, within three miles of Rocky
Mountain National Park and approximately 70 miles from Denver, Colorado. This
resort consists of 33 total units and is bounded generally by undeveloped
forested Mountainside land, which offer excellent mountain views from the
resort.
The Golden Eagle Resort is centered around the historic Crag's Lodge, a
four-story wood frame building constructed in the early 1900s, which serves as
the resort's main lodge. Amenities offered at this resort include a restaurant,
bar and library, as well as two other freestanding buildings containing six
guest rooms and support facilities. Each unit at Golden Eagle features a fully

well as local outdoor attractions. Golden Eagle Resort is an RCI resort.
As of December 31, 1997, the Golden Eagle Resort contained 1,683

Interests. The Company intends to construct two additional units at the resort
in 1998 or 1999 which would yield an additional 102 Vacation Ownership
Interests.
Varsity Clubs of America
VCA-South Bend. The Company's first Varsity Clubs facility is an
approximately four acre property located approximately three miles from the
University of Notre Dame and Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana, which is
90 miles from Chicago, Illinois. The VCA-South Bend offers a total of 62 units,
consisting of studio, one- and two-bedroom suites.
Each one- and two-bedroom suite at VCA-South Bend includes a king
master bedroom, living room with sofa sleeper, kitchenette and whirlpool spa as
well as color television with premium movie channels. Common areas at the resort
include the Stadium Sports Lounge, featuring a theater-wall television in a
stadium-type setting, fitness center with whirlpool spa, outdoor heated pool,
bocce ball, children's playground, billiards room, library, gift shop, business
center and special events facilities. The Company intends VCA-South Bend to
serve as a prototype, subject to modifications and improvements, for the
expansion of the Company's Varsity Clubs concept to other suitable locations,
with additional modifications made as appropriate to suit local tastes and
preferences. VCA-South Bend is an II Five-Star resort.
As of December 31, 1997, this resort contained 3,224 one-week Vacation
Ownership Interests, of which approximately 1,666 were available for sale. The
Company anticipates expanding this resort during 1998 by constructing an
additional 24 units, thereby adding 1,248 one-week Vacation Ownership Interests.
VCA-Tucson. The two acre site for the second Varsity Club resort,
presently under construction, is in Tucson, Arizona, approximately three miles
from the University of Arizona and approximately 110 miles from Phoenix,
Arizona. Upon completion, this resort will consist of 62 units. This resort is
expected to open in April 1998.
VCA-Tucson was designed in accordance with the VCA-South Bend
prototype, with certain modifications made to improve operating efficiencies and
satisfy local tastes. Each of the planned one- and two-bedroom suites will
feature a king master bedroom, living room with sofa sleeper, kitchenette,
whirlpool spa, as well as color television with premium movie channels.
Amenities at this resort will include a Sports Lounge designed similar to that
at VCA-South Bend, the Twenty-Four Hour Sports Ticker, touchdown breakfast
buffet, Joey Pizza (a popular restaurant theme originally introduced at Los
Abrigados), billiards room, library, gift shop, fitness center, outdoor heated
pool, whirlpool spa, steam room, children's playground, bocce ball court,
business center and special events facilities. VCA-Tucson has been designated an
II Five-Star resort.
Upon its completion, VCA-Tucson will contain approximately 3,224
one-week Vacation Ownership Interests. The Company intends to begin marketing
Vacation Ownership Interests at this resort in the second quarter of 1998.
7
Additional Interests
In addition to the ILX Resorts, ILX owns or is authorized pursuant to a
marketing agreement to sell a designated number of Vacation Ownership Interests
at additional resorts owned by unaffiliated third parties. At December 31, 1997,
the Company owned ten Vacation Ownership Interests at the Ventura Resort located
in Boca Raton, Florida. Purchasers of Vacation Ownership Interests at Ventura
Resort acquire deed and title to a particular unit, which entitles the purchaser
to use of the unit and to use the resort's common area during a fixed designated
time period. As of December 31, 1997, the Company also owned 38 Vacation
Ownership Interests at the Costa Vida Vallarta Resort, located on a private
beach, just minutes south of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Vacation Ownership
Interests in the Costa Vida Vallarta resort consist solely of contractual use
rights which expire in 2009. The Company also owns one to two Vacation Ownership
Interests in each of a number of additional resorts which it holds for resale.
In addition, the Company has entered into a marketing agreement with
Pahio Resorts, which owns and operates the Pahio at Kauai Beach Villas, Pahio at
Bali Hai Villas, Pahio at the Shearwater and Pahio at Ka' Eo Kai, each on the
island of Kauai, Hawaii. Under the marketing agreement, ILX may market and sell,
subject to regulatory approval, Vacation Ownership Interests in Pahio's four
Hawaii resorts. In 1997, the Company marketed on a limited basis Vacation
Ownership Interests for Pahio at Kauai Beach Villas, which have been approved
for sale in Arizona.
Operating Strategies
The Company's operating strategy seeks to emphasize the following
characteristics, which management believes provide ILX with certain competitive
advantages within the vacation ownership industry.
Flexible Vacation Ownership Interest Purchase Options. The Company
believes the flexibility associated with its inventory of Vacation Ownership
Interests provides a uniquely appealing opportunity for ILX Owners. Unlike many
of the Company's competitors, substantially all of the Company's inventory of
Vacation Ownership Interests at the ILX Resorts are intended to be used on dates
specified from time to time by the ILX Owner within a broad range of available
dates and not fixed at the time of purchase. Purchasers of a membership interest
in the Company's proprietary branded Premiere Vacation Club will be entitled to
use their interest at any single CAR or may split up their interest according to
the owner's needs and preferences and used at any number of participating CARS,
as well as thousands of other resorts through the domestic and international
exchange programs in which ILX Owners participate. In addition, Vacation
Ownership Interests at Varsity Clubs may be purchased for highly desirable
single-day uses, a collection of single days (such as designated days during an
entire football or other sports season) or other packages suited to meet each
ILX Owner's preferences.
Customer Satisfaction. The Company believes that its inventory of
highly desirable resorts with extensive amenities combined with flexible
purchase options have resulted in a high level of customer satisfaction. Each of
the ILX Resorts is located in an area with unique tourist attractions and offers
food, beverage and other amenities comparable to full-service commercial lodging
facilities, at discounted prices to ILX Owners. As a result, the Company
believes ILX Owners generally have a high level of satisfaction resulting in
additional purchases and increased goodwill. The Company intends to capitalize
upon this by directing a portion of its marketing efforts towards increasing
sales of Vacation Ownership Interests to ILX Owners.
Enhanced Amenities. Excluding the recently acquired Roundhouse Resort,
each of the ILX Resorts has at least one full-service restaurant and other food
and beverage facilities in addition to a range of other amenities typically
found at high-quality resorts, such as horseback riding, golf, swimming pools
and exercise facilities. The Roundhouse Resort contains a fully equipped
restaurant which the Company intends to commence operating in 1998. The Company
believes that most resorts offering Vacation Ownership Interests have none or
only limited restaurant and other food and beverage facilities. As a result,
management believes ILX Owners appreciate the ability to enjoy traditional
full-service commercial hotel amenities and also maintain the option to use more
economical in-room facilities. See "- The Resorts."
Demonstrated Ability to Acquire and Develop Properties. The Company has
historically been successful at acquiring resorts in settings of natural beauty
at relatively low costs. The Company's acquisition strategy is to identify
underutilized or distressed properties in locations with high tourist appeal and
access to major metropolitan centers. Thereafter, the Company's redevelopment
efforts are primarily targeted at improving the amenities and appointments of
such properties. Recently, the Company has successfully developed its prototype
Varsity Clubs of America resort, VCA-South Bend, and has commenced construction
of VCA-Tucson. Future Varsity Clubs will be designed and constructed in
accordance with the VCA-South Bend prototype, with appropriate modifications and
improvements. The Company believes that its acquisition and development
strategies have resulted in a portfolio of desirable properties with a
relatively low cost of sales margin. See "- Growth Strategy" and Consolidated
Financial Statements.
8
Convenient Access Resorts. The Company's CARs are typically located
within a two-hour drive of an ILX Owner's principal residence, which
accommodates a demand for more frequent and convenient "short-stay" vacations
without the costs of airfare. This proximity also facilitates marketing of the
Company's Premiere Vacation Club, which permits members to divide their Vacation
Ownership Interest into shorter stays at any of the Company's CARs included in
the Premiere Vacation Club or exchange their entire interest during any year
through an exchange network. In addition to the use of their Vacation Ownership
Interest, ILX Owners are also entitled to unlimited day-use of the offered
amenities and discounted food, beverage and other services at all ILX Resorts,
thereby facilitating use and enhancing the benefits of ownership by ILX Owners.
Standard Design, Lower Construction and Operating Costs of Varsity
Clubs. The Company's Varsity Clubs concept is based upon its VCA-South Bend
prototype. While each Varsity Club may have aspects uniquely tailored to its
targeted customer base, the Company believes that its standard architectural and
interior designs for Varsity Clubs will significantly reduce associated
development and construction costs. Standardization also allows the Company to
rapidly develop new Varsity Clubs and integrate new resorts in response to
demand. The Company anticipates that new Varsity Clubs can be constructed within
one year from acquisition of the underlying real property.
Premium Locations. The Company believes that the variety and natural
beauty of the surroundings for its CARs enhance their attraction to customers.
Substantially all of the ILX Resorts are located in the Western United States in
part because of the numerous locations in that region which are attractive to
tourists and convenient to major metropolitan areas. Substantially all of the
Company's inventory of Vacation Ownership Interests qualify as "red time," the
highest demand classification for purposes of participation in exchange networks
such as RCI and II. The Company intends to develop additional Varsity Clubs and
Premiere Vacation Club resorts in other Western United States sites which offer
natural settings or other attractions to entice tourists to visit such
locations.
Integrated In-House Operations. Substantially all of the Company's
marketing, sales, development, property management, financing and collections
operations are conducted internally, except certain minimal marketing functions
and those payment and collection activities related to the financing by third
parties of Customer Notes. In addition, the Company operates all of the ILX
Resorts on a centralized basis, with operating and maintenance costs paid from
ILX Owners' dues as well as hotel rental revenues. The Company intends to
integrate all aspects of its operations, excluding those collection activities
related to third-party financing, into its in-house capabilities. The Company
believes that its internal capabilities result in greater control and
consistency of all phases of its operations and result in lower overall costs
than generally associated with outsourcing such operations. Integration also
facilitates the Company's Premiere Vacation Club and the ILX Resorts'
qualification in the RCI and II exchange networks, among others.
Directed Marketing. The Company's marketing strategy with respect to
its Premiere Vacation Club is to target potential customers who have a
demonstrated interest in the location of its ILX Resorts or a likelihood of
frequent travel. As opposed to traditional marketing strategies which often
emphasize telemarketing and direct mail activities focused on promotional
inducements unrelated to travel, the Company's marketing activities primarily
offer travel-related inducements (such as discounted or complimentary vacations
at nearby ILX Resorts). By offering travel-related inducements, the Company
believes it is better able to identify customers who like to travel, which
results in a higher percentage of sales per contacts. In addition, the Company
developed its proprietary Varsity Clubs of America concept to capitalize upon
affinity marketing strategies. The Company believes that a high-quality "city
club" experience combined with the traditional benefits associated with Vacation
Ownership Interests, such as the opportunity to participate in exchange
networks, will appeal to consumers in the local markets of each Varsity Club.
Further, the Varsity Clubs concept is intended to take advantage of a marketing
base of alumni, sports enthusiasts, parents of students, corporate sponsors and
others affiliated with each university next to which a Varsity Club will be
developed. For example, alumni of the University of Arizona, to whom the Company
intends to market Vacation Ownership Interests at its VCA-Tucson, currently
number approximately 180,000, as of December 31, 1997. The Company believes that
these marketing strategies permit it to take advantage of existing affinities,
resulting in a higher rate of closings per customer contacts.
Premiere Vacation Club
Commencing in 1998, the Premiere Vacation Club will offer purchasers
deeded membership interests that may be used in their entirety at one time or
may be divided into shorter stays at a variety of the Company's CARs or may be
exchanged through a participating exchange network. The Company's Premiere
Vacation Club emphasizes (i) CARs which facilitate short-stay vacations with
relatively low cost and time associated with travel to the ILX Resort, (ii)
located near settings of natural beauty, (iii) with high quality amenities and
resort services and (iv) which facilitate flexible use options. The Company
believes that its proprietary branded Premiere Vacation Club will capitalize
upon affinity marketing strategies and increase the goodwill associated with the
ILX
9
Resorts. In addition, membership interests in the Premiere Vacation Club will be
marketed at an average higher gross sales price than sales of Vacation Ownership
Interests in a single ILX Resort, which the Company believes will result in
increased revenues. The Company intends to market membership interests in its
Premiere Vacation Club to ILX Owners as well as first-time buyers, thereby
expanding its sales volume without increasing its sales and marketing costs in
the same proportion as generally associated with sales to first-time buyers.
Initially, the Company's Premiere Vacation Club inventory will consist
of Vacation Ownership Interests in the ILX Resorts and the Additional Interests.
Thereafter, new resorts will be added through the Company's aggressive pursuit
of selected acquisition opportunities. To this end, in December 1997, the
Company acquired an undivided interest in the common areas of and all of the
undeveloped and unsold portions of the Roundhouse Resort, an existing 59 unit
resort with five acres of developable land located in Pinetop/Lakeside, Arizona.
By marketing its inventory of Vacation Ownership Interests through the Premiere
Vacation Club, the Company believes it has greater flexibility with respect to
potential acquisition opportunities than generally associated with the sale of
Vacation Ownership Interests in a single vacation resort, to the extent that
small or remote resorts which may be inefficient to market as a single location
resort may enhance the consumer appeal of a membership interest in the Premiere
Vacation Club. With its existing and planned resorts in Arizona, the Company is
seeking to build a critical mass of CARs within driving distance of the Phoenix
and Tucson metropolitan markets which will support the initial introduction of
the Premiere Vacation Club concept. The Company believes that the geographic and
cultural diversity of Arizona make that state particularly appropriate for this
expansion. Thereafter, the Company intends to develop networks of CARs proximate
to other major metropolitan areas in the Western United States.
Varsity Clubs of America
The Company intends to aggressively pursue the expansion of its
proprietary branded Varsity Clubs concept. The Company will focus on development
of additional Varsity Clubs near prominent colleges and universities in the
western United States located in areas with a significant base of existing
tourism and access to major population centers. The Varsity Clubs of America
concept is primarily intended to offer residents in major population centers a
"city club" experience with day-use privileges regularly available, as well as
the opportunity to exchange their Vacation Ownership Interest through the
exchange networks in which ILX Owners participate. The Varsity Clubs concept
also seeks to maximize the appeal of such urban timeshare resorts by
strategically locating each of them proximate to one or more prominent colleges
and universities with nationally recognized athletic, cultural and other events.
Large universities host a variety of sporting, recreational, academic and
cultural events that create a substantial and relatively constant influx of
participants, attendees and spectators. The Varsity Clubs concept is designed to
address the specific needs of these individuals and entities by creating
specialty vacation ownership resorts that have a flexible ownership structure,
enabling the purchase of anything from a single day, a collection of single days
(such as an entire football or other sports' season) or a traditional one-week
period. Each Varsity Clubs facility will operate as a hotel to the extent of
unsold or unused vacation ownership inventory.
The prototype VCA-South Bend facility is an all-suite, 62 unit lodging
facility that features amenities such as The Stadium (a sports-theme atrium
lounge), a private Member's Lounge, exercise facilities, a swimming pool and
whirlpool spa, complete business services and other facilities popular with the
target market of likely purchasers. The prototype Varsity Clubs facility is
based on a four-acre configuration expandable to as many as 90 units, without
the need to acquire additional real property, and can be built in smaller
configurations if warranted by a particular market or if dictated by the
availability of land.
The first Varsity Clubs facility was completed in August 1995 and is
located approximately three miles from the University of Notre Dame and Notre
Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana, and approximately 90 miles from Chicago,
Illinois. Customers purchase deed and title to a floating period's use of a unit
and unlimited day-use privileges at the common areas of the property. Purchasers
may also receive the right to use the facility on specified dates, such as dates
of home football games, for which they pay a premium. A total of 62 units, or
3,224 one-week intervals, have been constructed at VCA-South Bend and, at
December 31, 1997, approximately 1,666 one-week intervals were available for
sale. ILX anticipates expanding the facility in 1998 by constructing an
additional 24 suites, thus adding 1,248 one-week intervals. To date, VCA-South
Bend has been able to compete favorably for commercial guests because of its
superior facilities and amenities relative to other lodging accommodations in
the area.
The site for the second Varsity Clubs facility is located in Tucson,
Arizona, less than three miles from the University of Arizona. This second
Varsity Club will be completed in April 1998 and will offer 62 suites, or 3,224
one-week intervals. VCA-Tucson was designed in accordance with the VCA-South
Bend prototype, with certain modifications made to improve efficiency and
incorporate local design themes. The Company chose Tucson as a site for its
Varsity Clubs concept because of its status as a year-round destination
location, a large residential population base of approximately 750,000, and the
proximity to the University of Arizona, which has an alumni base in excess of
180,000 people as of December 31, 1997. The Company believes that all of these
10
factors increase the appeal of VCA-Tucson to prospective buyers as well as
providing increased trading power for purchasers of Vacation Ownership Interests
in the resort for purposes of participation in exchange networks. Construction
of the Tucson resort commenced in late 1997 and the facility is expected to open
in April 1998.
The Company is considering various other sites for development of
additional Varsity Clubs facilities in the next five to seven years. Management
believes there exist numerous sites in the Western United States that are
attractive for the development of additional Varsity Clubs. The Company intends
to expand its Varsity Clubs concept to approximately five of these areas over
the next three years, based upon the VCA-South Bend prototype, with certain
modifications and improvements. The Company also believes that Varsity Clubs
will establish their own brand name recognition as additional facilities are
offered, each with a consistent design and selection of amenities. Varsity Clubs
expansion efforts will initially be primarily focused on metropolitan areas in
the western United States, each located near one or more large universities, but
the Company will assess other potential opportunities as they arise. Ideally,
the Company will seek to place additional Varsity Clubs near universities that
are located in or convenient to popular tourist destination locations in or near
large metropolitan areas, such as Tempe, Arizona; Boulder, Colorado; Las Vegas,
Nevada; Palo Alto, California; Salt Lake City - Provo, Utah; and Seattle,
Washington. The Company will also seek to broaden the affinity marketing base of
its future Varsity Clubs by situating them proximate to more than one prominent
college or university, where appropriate. The Varsity Clubs concept also seeks
to capitalize on affinity marketing strategies through the perceived affiliation
with a nationally recognized university and the "city club" experience which the
Company seeks to associate with the Varsity Clubs of America brand name. The
Company intends to provide purchasers of Vacation Ownership Interests in one
Varsity Club certain benefits at other Varsity Clubs in order to enhance their
appeal to consumers.
Sales and Marketing
Marketing is the process by which the Company attracts potential
customers to visit and tour an ILX Resort or attend a sales presentation. Sales
is the process by which the Company seeks to sell a Vacation Ownership Interest
to a potential customer once he or she arrives for a tour at an ILX Resort or
attends a sales presentation. The Company believes it has the marketing and
sales infrastructure necessary to sell Vacation Ownership Interests on a
competitive basis. All of the Company's sales and substantially all of the
Company's marketing functions are currently performed in-house and the Company
invests significant resources in attracting, training and seeking to retain its
sales and marketing employees. The Company intends to incorporate more of its
marketing operations into its in-house capabilities. The Company believes this
strategy provides it with greater control over these critical functions,
resulting in greater consistency of customer relations and improved customer
satisfaction. In addition, management believes that its practice of hiring
employees to staff its sales and marketing functions, as opposed to using
independent contractors as has been the industry norm, results in a higher
retention rate among its sales force and provides a pool of experienced staff
from which to draw upon as the Company's business expands. The Company expends
substantial resources identifying, attracting and training its sales and
marketing personnel and offers a full package of employment benefits to its
sales and marketing personnel. Management believes that consistency and high
quality in its sales and marketing operations is crucial to its success. The
Company believes that the, package of benefits offered to its sales and
marketing employees is uncommon in the vacation ownership industry and, as a
result, attracts high quality personnel and provides an incentive for their
performance.
Marketing. The Company's marketing activities are devoted primarily
towards (i) hotel guests at the ILX Resorts, (ii) RCI and II exchange program
participants staying at the ILX Resorts, (iii) off-premise contacts with
visitors to the local surroundings of the ILX Resorts and in the metropolitan
areas within driving distances of the ILX Resorts and (iv) direct mail and
telemarketing to residents of metropolitan areas within driving distance of the
ILX Resorts. The Company's marketing strategy seeks to target prospective buyers
who respond favorably to travel-related inducements because the Company believes
such consumers are more likely to travel and therefore have a greater likelihood
of purchasing a Vacation Ownership Interest. The Company identifies potential
purchasers through internally developed marketing techniques, and sells Vacation
Ownership Interests through its four sales offices located at or near ILX
Resorts. The Company primarily targets customers who live within driving
distance of an ILX Resort or who are vacationing at or near an ILX Resort. This
practice allows the Company to invite potential purchasers to experience the ILX
Resorts and avoid the more expensive marketing costs of subsidized airfare and
lodging which are typically associated with the vacation ownership industry. In
addition, the Company believes that its marketing strategy results in a higher
percentage of sales per prospective customer contacts as compared to many of its
competitors because its targeted customer base has a demonstrated interest in
the locale of an ILX Resort and/or a greater likelihood to take vacations.
Similar to branding techniques utilized by some of its competitors, the
Company also seeks to capitalize upon affinity marketing concepts in attracting
prospective buyers to its Varsity Clubs concept by seeking to develop a branded
"city club" experience for flexible use by local residents. In addition,
marketing of Varsity Clubs seeks to focus on alumni, parents of university
students and other persons or entities who have a preexisting affiliation with
or other attraction to the local university. All of the
11
Company's marketing activities emphasize the convenience of the ILX Resorts
coupled with the opportunity to participate in exchange networks as well as the
quality and breadth of amenities available at each of the ILX Resorts.
Sales. The Company actively sells its inventory of Vacation Ownership
Interests primarily through a sales staff of approximately 140 employees,
including approximately 100 sales agents at four sales offices, each located at
or near selected ILX Resorts. Prospective first-time purchasers participate in a
tour of the facilities as well as its related amenities, guided by a
salesperson. At the conclusion of the tour, the terms of making a purchase,
including financing alternatives, are explained to the customer. Approximately
20% to 25% of the Company's sales have historically been made on a cash basis.
However, for those customers seeking financing, the Company conducts substantial
credit pre-approval research. The Company's point-of-sale credit pre-approval
process typically includes a review of the customer's credit history. After
final approval of a purchase, which includes verification of employment, the
Company waits until expiration of the applicable statutory waiting period,
generally from three to seven days, prior to recognizing a sale as complete.
In addition to generating sales to first-time buyers, the Company's
sales force seeks to generate sales of additional Vacation Ownership Interests
or Upgrades to ILX Owners. Sales to ILX Owners generally have lower marketing
costs associated with them as these buyers tend to be more familiar with the
nature of purchasing a Vacation Ownership Interest and the amenities offered by
the ILX Resorts. As a result of an increased emphasis upon sales to these
buyers, sales to ILX Owners accounted for 12.5% of Vacation Ownership Interest
sales by the Company during 1997. During 1995 and 1996, sales to ILX Owners
accounted for less than 6% of the Company's total sales. The Company intends to
increase its sales efforts with respect to ILX Owners.
The Company's inventory of Vacation Ownership Interests has
historically consisted of a one-week interval which may be used on an annual or
an alternate-year basis in a specified ILX Resort during a specified range of
dates. ILX Owners may also participate in exchange networks such as RCI and II.
However, commencing in 1998, the Company will offer deeded membership interests
in its Premiere Vacation Club, which permit a member to stay at one or more of
the participating ILX Resorts for up to one week on an annual or alternate-year
basis. A member may divide their stays into shorter vacations at any time
between a specified period of time. The Company believes that the variety and
flexibility of use options associated with its inventory of Vacation Ownership
Interests are uniquely attractive to customers.
Customer Financing
The Company currently provides financing for approximately 75% to 80%
of its Vacation Ownership Interest sales. On financed sales, the Company
receives at least 10% of the aggregate sales price of Vacation Ownership
Interests as a down payment. Financing for the remainder is typically made
available for a term of seven years at a rate of 14% to 16% per annum. At
December 31, 1997, the Company had a portfolio of retained Customer Notes with
an aggregate principal amount of $14.5 million, of which $12.0 million are
serviced by an outside vendor and have a weighted average yield of 13.8% per
annum, which compares favorably to the Company's weighted average cost of
borrowings for such Customer Notes of 12.4% per annum.
The Company believes that providing available financing is essential to
the successful sales and marketing of its Vacation Ownership Interest inventory.
However, the Company seeks to minimize the risks associated with its financing
activities by emphasizing the credit pre-approval process. In addition, the
Company expends significant resources negotiating alternative repayment programs
for past due accounts, so as to minimize its actual losses. Collection
activities with respect to Customer Notes which the Company has hypothecated are
managed internally and serviced by a third-party on behalf of the lenders and
the Company. In addition, the Company occasionally utilizes third party
collection agencies for difficult accounts. Historically, these have represented
only a minimal percentage of the Customer Notes.
Prior to 1995, the Company sold the majority of its Customer Notes and
retained the small remaining portion, most of which were hypothecated. Since
1995, the Company has increased the amount of Customer Notes which it retains,
most of which it hypothecates, and, as a result, at December 31, 1997, the
Company retained Customer Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $14.5
million as compared to $7.9 million at December 31, 1995.
Although the terms of each Customer Note vary, typically such notes are
deemed past due when a scheduled payment is 30 days or more past due. In
addition, a delinquency occurs when an account becomes more than 90 days past
due. The Company seeks to avoid defaults by working closely with the lender or
its collection agent with respect to ILX Owners who become delinquent.
The first collection contact typically occurs within 16 to 30 days of a
payment's due date.
The Company has agreements with financial institutions for total
commitments of $20 million under which the Company may sell certain of its
customer notes receivables. These agreements provide for sales on a recourse
basis with a percentage of the
12
amount sold held back by the respective financial institution as additional
collateral. Customer notes receivables may be sold at discounts or premiums to
the principal amount in order to yield the consumer market rate, as defined by
such financial institution. At December 31, 1997, $6.0 million was available to
the Company under these commitments. The Company also has financing commitments
in the aggregate amount of $19.2 million, pursuant to which the Company may
hypothecate Customer Notes which are pledged to the lender as collateral. These
borrowings bear interest at rates from prime plus 3.25% to prime plus 5.0% and
expire at various dates from 1998 through 2000. At December 31, 1997, $13.0
million was available to the Company under these commitments. The Company
currently reserves approximately 3% of gross sales (including cash sales) as an
allowance for doubtful accounts. This reserve represents a percentage decrease
since the Company's inception based upon the Company's actual collections
experience. At December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, the aggregate amount of these
reserves were $2.4 million, $2.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively. During
1995, 1996 and 1997, the Company's provision for doubtful accounts exceeded
actual write-offs by $1.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
To the extent that the Company's losses as a result of bad debt exceed its
corresponding reserves, its financial condition and results of operations may be
materially adversely affected.
Other Operations
Resort Operations. The Company also receives revenues from (i) the
rental of its unsold or unused inventory of units at the ILX Resorts, (ii) the
sale of food, beverages and other amenities at such resorts and (iii) the
management and operation of the ILX Resorts. During 1997, the Company received
$10.9 million in net revenues from these operations, consisting of $5.9 million
in room rental revenue, $3.6 million in food and beverage revenue and $1.4
million in other revenue. Of these amounts, Los Abrigados contributed $7.6
million, or 69.7% of the Company's total resort operations revenues in 1997. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
Historically, the Company's resort operation activities have not
generated a material portion of the Company's net profits on a consolidated
business. Revenues from resort operations typically vary significantly from one
ILX Resort to another. In addition, changes in revenue received from these
operations have not typically correlated with fluctuations in the Company's
revenues from sales of Vacation Ownership Interests. Management expects this
trend to continue in the future in part because of the emphasis of the Company's
growth strategy on its Varsity Clubs, which have typically generated a lower
percentage of revenues from resort operations than that generated by the
Company's CARS. However, the Company believes that its resort management
activities directly complement the Company's efforts with respect to the
marketing and sales of Vacation Ownership Interests.
Sedona Spa. The Company's operations also include the sale of personal
care products through its wholly-owned subsidiary Sedona Worldwide Incorporated.
The Company's personal care products have historically been marketed under its
proprietary Red Rock Collection brand name through the ILX Resorts. Commencing
in the second quarter of 1998, these products will be marketed under the brand
name "Sedona Spa" and, in connection with such change, certain modifications to
the product line are being implemented. This resort-based sales program includes
an upscale line of personal care amenities, in-room gift basket promotions and
retail product sales at the ILX Resorts. Sedona Spa products are primarily used
by the Company as promotion incentives to potential purchasers who attend the
Company's sales tours and presentations. The Company then uses direct mail to
market Sedona Spa products to resort customers and tour participants who have
previously used the products. Sales of Sedona Spa products are included in
"Income from land and other, net" on the Company's financial statements and, to
date, have not resulted in a material amount of net revenues or profits to the
Company. The Company has not in the past and does not intend in the future to
devote a significant portion of its resources to sales of Sedona Spa products.
Land Sales. Since l993, the Company has also received revenues from the
sale of primarily unimproved real property. These operations originated as a
result of the Company's opportunistic acquisition of its wholly owned
subsidiary, Genesis, in November 1993. The sale of real property is not a core
business function for the Company and, as such, the Company has not historically
and does not intend in the future to devote a material portion of its resources
to these operations. Typically, the Company has sold these assets as subdivided
lots or large unimproved parcels. The Company intends to sell substantially all
of the remaining assets during 1998, although there can be no assurance that it
will be able to sell these assets at attractive prices, if at all, during this
year. Following the sale of these assets, management does not expect to engage
in the sale of real property.
Participation in Exchange Networks
The Company believes that consumers are more likely to purchase from
its inventory of Vacation Ownership Interests as a result of the Company's
participation in the Vacation Ownership Interest exchange networks operated by
RCI and II, the leading exchange network operators. In a 1995 study sponsored by
the Alliance for Timeshare Excellence and ARDA, exchange opportunity was cited
by purchasers of interval interests as one of the most significant factors in
their decision to purchase an interest. Membership in RCI or II allows ILX
Owners to exchange in a particular year their occupancy right in the unit in
which they own a
13
Vacation Ownership Interest for an occupancy right at the same time or a
different time in another participating resort, based upon availability and the
payment of a variable exchange fee. A participating ILX Owner may exchange his
or her Vacation Ownership Interest for an occupancy right in another
participating resort by listing the Vacation Ownership Interest as available
with the exchange network operator and by requesting occupancy at another
participating resort, indicating the particular resort or geographic area to
which the owner desires to travel, the size of the unit desired and the period
during which occupancy is desired. The exchange network assigns a rating to each
listed Vacation Ownership Interest, based upon a number of factors, including
the location and size of the unit, the quality of the resort and the period of
the year during which the Vacation Ownership Interest is available, and attempts
to satisfy the exchange request by providing an occupancy right in another
Vacation Ownership Interest with a similar rating. Approximately 85% of the
Vacation Ownership Interests at the ILX Resorts qualify as "red time," the
highest demand classification, thereby increasing the exchange opportunities
available to ILX Owners. If RCI or II is unable to meet the member's initial
request, the network operator may suggest alternative resorts, based on
availability. In addition, ILX's Owner Services Department has established
arrangements with additional resorts and smaller exchange networks through which
it offers exchange opportunities and discounted vacation getaways to ILX Owners.
The Company believes that its direct participation in the exchange process,
coupled with these additional services, provides ILX with a competitive
advantage and tend to increase customer satisfaction. See "- Operating
Strategies" above.
Competition
ILX's Vacation Ownership Interest plans compete both with other
Vacation Ownership Interest plans as well as hotels, motels, condominium
developments and second homes. ILX considers the direct competitors of
individual resorts to also include alternative accommodations, including hotels,
motels, bed-and-breakfasts and small vacation ownership operators located within
the immediate geographic vicinity of such resort. This is particularly true with
respect to its CARs that tend to attract purchasers whose decision to buy a
Vacation Ownership Interest is likely to be influenced by the convenience of the
resort to their principal residence.
The Vacation Ownership Interest industry historically has been highly
fragmented and dominated by a very large number of local and regional resort
developers and operators, each with limited portfolios. More recently, many of
the world's most widely-recognized lodging, hospitality and entertainment
companies have begun to develop and sell vacation ownership interests under
their brand names, including Marriott Ownership Resorts, Walt Disney Company,
Hilton Hotels Corporation, Hyatt Corporation, Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts and
Promus Hotel Corporation. In addition, other publicly-traded companies such as
Signature Resorts, Inc., Fairfield Communities, Inc., Silverleaf Resorts, Inc.,
Trendwest Resorts, Inc. and Vistana, Inc. currently compete or may compete in
the future with the Company. Furthermore, significant competition exists in
other markets in which the Company currently operates or is developing vacation
ownership resorts. Many entities with which the Company competes have
significantly greater access to financial, sales and marketing and other
resources than those of the Company and may be able to grow at a more rapid rate
or more profitably as a result. Management anticipates competition to increase
in the future as a result of consolidation in the vacation ownership industry.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully compete
with such companies.
Governmental Regulation
General. The Company's marketing and sales activities and other resort
operations are subject to extensive regulation by the federal government and the
states in which the Company's resorts are located and in which its interval
interests are marketed and sold. Federal legislation to which the Company is or
may be subject includes the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Fair Housing Act,
the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Equal
Credit Opportunity Act, the Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act, the
Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act and the Civil Rights
Acts of 1964, 1968 and 1991. Many states have adopted legislation as well as
specific laws and regulations regarding the sale of vacation ownership
interests. The laws of most states, including Arizona, require a designated
state authority to approve a detailed offering statement describing the Company
and all material aspects of the resort and sale of vacation ownership interests
at such resort. In addition, the laws of most states in which the Company sells
interests grant the purchaser of a vacation ownership interest the right to
rescind a contract of purchase at any time within a statutory rescission period.
Furthermore, most states have other laws which regulate the Company's
activities, such as real estate licensure laws, travel sales licensure laws,
anti-fraud laws, telemarketing laws, prize, gift and sweepstakes laws, and labor
laws. The Company believes that it is in material compliance with all applicable
federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations to which it is currently
subject.
Environmental Matters. Under applicable federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of
real estate may be required to investigate, remediate and remove hazardous or
toxic substances at such property, and may be held liable for property damage
and for investigation, remediation and removal costs incurred by such parties in
connection with the contamination. Such laws typically impose such liability
without regard to whether the owner or operator knew
14
of or caused the presence of the contaminants, and the liability under such laws
has been interpreted to be joint and several unless the harm is divisible and
there is a reasonable basis for allocation of responsibility. The costs
associated with compliance with such regulations may be substantial, and the
presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate the
contamination on such property, may adversely affect the owner's or operator's
ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow against such property as
collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or
toxic substances at a disposal or treatment facility also may be liable for the
costs of removal or remediation of a release of hazardous or toxic substances at
such disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such facility is owned or
operated by such person. In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on
the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs
in connection with the contamination. Finally, the owner or operator of a site
may be subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs
resulting from environmental contamination emanating from a site. In connection
with its ownership and operation of its properties, the Company may be
potentially liable for such costs.
The Company does not always conduct Phase I environmental assessments
at the ILX Resorts, properties under development and properties subject to
acquisition. Because many of the Company's resorts are typically found in remote
locations, it does not consider the risks of environmental liabilities
significant enough to warrant the performance of Phase I assessments at such
locations. Failure to obtain such reports may result in the Company acquiring or
developing unusable property or assuming certain liabilities which could have
been avoided if the Company had the information typically discovered in a Phase
I report. However, when appropriate, the Company has in the past and will in the
future obtain Phase I reports. To date, the Company has obtained environmental
reports with respect to three of the ILX Resorts. In addition, the Company does
conduct significant in-house due diligence prior to the acquisition of any real
property interests. To date, the Company's investigation of its properties have
not revealed any environmental liability that the Company believes would have a
material adverse effect on the Company Is business, assets, financial condition
or results of operations, nor is the Company aware of any such material
environmental liability.
The Company believes that its properties are in compliance in all
material respects with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and
regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances. The Company has not been
notified by any governmental authority or any third party, and is not otherwise
aware, of any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous
or toxic substances or petroleum products in connection with any of its present
properties.
Other Regulations. Under various state and federal laws governing
housing and places of public accommodation, the Company is required to meet
certain requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Although
management believes that the Company's resorts are substantially in compliance
with present requirements of such laws, the Company may incur additional costs
of compliance in connection with the development of new resorts, or conversion
or renovation of ILX Resorts. Additional legislation may impose additional
requirements on owners with respect to access by disabled persons. The aggregate
costs associated with compliance with such regulations are not currently known,
and, while such costs are not expected to have a material effect on the Company,
such costs could be substantial. Limitations or restrictions on the completion
of certain renovations may limit application of the Company's growth strategy in
certain instances or reduce profit margins on the Company's operations.
Employees
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately 760 employees,
of which approximately 525 were employed on a full-time basis (including
approximately 120 employed on a full-time equivalent basis of 28 hours per
week). The Company believes relations with its employees are good and none of
its employees are represented by labor unions.
Insurance
The Company carries comprehensive liability, business interruption,
title, fire and storm insurance with respect to the ILX Resorts, with policy
specifications, insured limits and deductibles customarily carried for similar
properties which the Company believes are adequate. There are, however, certain
types of losses (such as losses caused by floods or acts of war) that are not
generally insured because they are either uninsurable or not economically
insurable. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur,
the Company could lose its capital invested in a resort, as well as the
anticipated future revenues from such resort and would continue to be obligated
on any mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the property. Any
such loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Overview
ILX Resorts Incorporated was formed in 1986 to enter the Vacation
Ownership Interest business. The Company generates revenue primarily from the
sale and financing of Vacation Ownership Interests. The Company also generates
revenue from the rental of its unused or unsold inventory of units at the ILX
Resorts and from the sale of food, beverages or other services at such
17
resorts. The Company currently owns four resorts in Arizona, one in Indiana, one
in Colorado and the Company is constructing a seventh resort in Tucson, Arizona.
The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of Vacation Ownership
Interests at such time as a minimum of 10% of the purchase price has been
received in cash, the statutory rescission period has expired, the buyer is
committed to continued payments of the remaining purchase price and the
Company's future obligations for the Vacation Ownership Interests have been
released. Resort operating revenues are recorded as the rooms are rented or the
services are performed.
Costs associated with the acquisition and development of Vacation
Ownership Interests, including carrying costs such as interest and taxes are
capitalized and amortized to cost of sales as the respective revenue is
recognized.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 1996 to December 31, 1997
Sales of Vacation Ownership Interests increased 22.4% or $4.4 million
in 1997 to $24.0 million from $19.6 in 1996. The increase reflects both an
increase in sales prices and an expanded marketing program whereby existing ILX
Owners were offered an opportunity to purchase an Upgrade. Upgrade revenue,
included in sales of Vacation Ownership Interests, increased 200% from $1.0
million in 1996 to $3.0 million in 1997. The average sales price per Vacation
Ownership Interest sold (including Upgrades) increased 14.9% from $12,573 in
1996 to $14,446 in 1997 as a result of increased sales prices and the additional
Upgrade sales. Upgrades generally do not involve the sale of additional Vacation
Ownership Interests (merely their exchange) and, therefore, such Upgrades
increase the average sales price per Vacation Ownership Interest sold.
The number of Vacation Ownership Interests sold increased 6.3% from
1,562 in 1996 to 1,660 in 1997. The average sales price per Vacation Ownership
Interest sold (excluding Upgrades) increased 5.8% from $11,963 in 1996 to
$12,656 in 1997. Sales of Vacation Ownership Interests in 1997 included 1,705
biennial Vacation Ownership Interests (counted as 853 annual Vacation Ownership
Interests) compared to 1,517 biennial Vacation Ownership Interest sales (counted
as 759 annual Vacation Ownership Interests) in 1996. The increase in average
price per Vacation Ownership Interest sold (excluding Upgrades) in 1997 resulted
both from increased prices and from the Company's increased sales of biennial
Vacation Ownership Interests (the sales price of which is more than one-half of
an annual Vacation Ownership Interest sales price).
Resort operating revenues and cost of resort operations are comparable
between the two periods.
The 51.4% increase in interest income from $997,500 in 1996 to
$1,510,208 in 1997 is a result of the increased Customer Notes retained by the
Company and an increase in interest rates charged by the Company on its Customer
Notes, effective July 1997.
Cost of Vacation Ownership Interests sold as a percentage of Vacation
Ownership Interest sales decreased from 15.8% in 1996 to 13.4% in 1997 due to
the increased sales of biennial Vacation Ownership Interests (which have a lower
cost of sales percentage than an annual Vacation Ownership Interest) and a
larger amount of Upgrade sales in 1997.
Sales and marketing as a percentage of sales of Vacation Ownership
Interests increased to 57.9% in 1997 compared to 53.4% in 1996 due to (i)
increased costs of generating tours to ILX Resorts in 1997, (ii) increased costs
from the opening of a new sales office in Tempe in 1997, (iii) increased costs
from the opening of a Tucson sales office in 1997 (which is anticipated to
achieve operating efficiency consistent with the Company's standards following
opening of VCA-Tucson), and (iv) recognition in 1996 of benefits from premiums
issued to potential customers in prior periods which expired without redemption.
Increases in costs of generating tours in 1997 is due in part to the trial of
several new marketing strategies which were determined ineffective and were
therefore terminated in July and August 1997. Additionally, the Tempe sales
office was not retained beyond the trial period (April-July 1997) due to high
marketing costs and low closing rates.
The provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of Vacation
Ownership Interest sales remained comparable between years.
General and administrative expenses increased 30.4% to $3.0 million in
1997 from $2.3 million in 1996. General and administrative expenses increased to
8.2% as a percentage of total timeshare revenues in 1997 from 7.3% in 1996 due
to an increase in payroll expense, professional fees and rent expense.
In December 1997, the Company sold its general partnership interest in
Lomacasi Cottages resulting in a non-recurring gain of $356,000.
The decrease in minority interests from 1996 to 1997 reflects (i) the
buyout by the Company of the LAP minority interest in August 1997 and (ii)
reduced LAP resort income.
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 1995 to the Year Ended December 31, 1996
Sales of Vacation Ownership Interests decreased by 8.4% or $1.8 million
to $19.6 million in 1996 from $21.4 million in 1995. Part of this decline
reflects operation through April 1995 of a Phoenix sales office (which generated
approximately $771,000 in sales in 1995 prior to closure) and the recognition of
approximately $513,000 in sales of Vacation Ownership Interests in VCA-South
Bend written in 1994 but for which revenue recognition was deferred until
completion of construction in 1995. Upgrade revenue, included in Vacation
Ownership Interest sales, decreased 28.6% from $1.4 million in 1995 to $1.0
million in 1996. The average sales price per Vacation Ownership Interest sold
(including Upgrades) increased 10.5% from $11,377 in 1995 to $12,573 in
19
1996 as a result of increased sales of biennial Vacation Ownership Interests
which was partially offset by the decline in Upgrade sales.
The number of Vacation Ownership Interests sold decreased 16.8% from
1,877 in 1995 to 1,562 in 1996. The average sales price of Vacation Ownership
Interests sold (excluding Upgrades) increased 12.6% from $10,624 in 1995 to
$11,963 in 1996 due primarily to an increase in the number of biennial Vacation
Ownership Interests sold. Sales of Vacation Ownership Interests in 1996 included
1,517 biennial interests (counted as 759 annual Vacation Ownership Interests)
compared to 636 (counted as 318 annual Vacation Ownership Interests) in 1995.
The increase in 1996 biennial sales was the result of the Company's increased
sales and marketing efforts in this market segment and its ability to charge a
sales price that was significantly greater than one-half of the sales price of
an annual Vacation Ownership Interest. The increased emphasis upon sales of
biennial Vacation Ownership Interests at higher prices and the closure of the
Phoenix sales office resulted in a reduction in sales of annual Vacation
Ownership Interests from 1,559 in 1995 to 803 in 1996.
Resort operating revenue increased 22.5% from $8.9 million in 1995 to
$10.9 million in 1996. The increase reflects a full year of operations in 1996
of both VCA-South Bend, which opened in mid-August 1995, and Kohl's Ranch, which
was acquired on June 1, 1995.
The 59.1% increase in interest income from $627,081 in 1995 to $997,500
in 1996 is a result of the increased amount of Customer Notes retained by the
Company as well as increased balances of invested cash.
Cost of Vacation Ownership Interests sold as a percentage of Vacation
Ownership Interest sales decreased from 16.5% in 1995 to 15.8% in 1996 due to an
increase in the number of biennial sales.
Sales and marketing costs as a percentage of Vacation Ownership
Interests sales increased from 51.4% in 1995 to 53.4% in 1996 due to a
promotional program in 1996 which offered certain purchasers of Vacation
Ownership Interests a vacation experience (including accommodations, airfare and
car rental). While the cost of the vacation experience was added to the purchase
price, it had the effect of increasing sales and marketing costs as a percentage
of sales of Vacation Ownership Interests. Additionally, 1995 included the
recognition of $513,400 of revenue recognized on the percentage of completion
method but for which marketing costs were recognized in 1994 when incurred.
The decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of
sales of Vacation Ownership Interests from 5.8% in 1995 to 3.0% in 1996 reflects
the expected performance of the portfolio of consumer paper based on the
Company's collection experience in the prior years, both sold and unsold.
The decrease in cost of resort operations as a percentage of resort
operating revenue to 95.1% in 1996 from 101.3% in 1995 reflects lower costs of
operations at Los Abrigados as a percentage of revenue due to increased
occupancy, increased ILX Owner rates and reductions in operating costs, net of
the costs of operations for VCA-South Bend and Kohl's Ranch, which began
operations in 1995 and accordingly had lower occupancy than mature resorts.
General and administrative expenses decreased 39.5% from $3.8 million
in 1995 to $2.3 million in 1996 due in part to operating efficiencies in 1996
and unusual expenses in 1995. General and administrative expense decreased to
7.3% as a percentage of total timeshare revenues in 1996 from 12.3% in 1995. In
1995, approximately $400,000 of expenses were recognized relating to a $10.0
million convertible bond offering which was abandoned due to the underwriter's
inability to place the bonds. Proceeds from the failed offering were intended
for Varsity Clubs expansion; however, as a result of abandoning the bond
offering, the Company canceled its options on certain Varsity Clubs sites, and
$320,000 of related costs were written-off because the Company no longer
expected to build at these sites within the option periods.
The increase in interest expense from $1.3 million in 1995 to $2.0
million in 1996 reflects an increase in notes payable, including the note
payable for the construction of VCA-South Bend, which interest had been
capitalized through completion in August 1995, the acquisition notes for Kohl's
Ranch, Lomacasi Cottages and the Inn at Los Abrigados, and increased borrowings
against consumer notes receivable.
Income tax expense increased from a benefit in 1995 to a provision in
1996 because 1995 included a reduction in the valuation allowance, reflecting
management's estimate of the future benefit to be derived from the utilization
of Genesis NOL carryovers, and also a result of increased net income in 1996.
20
Minority interests are comparable between years. However, 1996 reflects
an increase in Los Abrigados net income between years due to increased hotel
operating income, increased Vacation Ownership Interest sales prices and reduced
costs of Vacation Ownership Interests sold, depreciation and bad debt provision.
For 1995, the minority interests include the minority interest ownership of the
Genesis land parcels sold in 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Cash
The Company generates cash primarily from the sale of Vacation
Ownership Interests (including Upgrades), the financing of Customer Notes from
such sales and resort operations. During 1995, 1996 and 1997, cash provided by
(used in) operations was $(0.7) million, $4.0 million, and $2.8 million,
respectively. The negative cash flow in 1995 was due primarily to an increase in
resort property held for timeshare sales of $4.4 million resulting from the
completion of construction and opening of VCA-South Bend, which was financed
primarily through borrowings of $4.2 million in 1995. Because the Company uses
significant amounts of cash in the development and marketing of Vacation
Ownership Interests, but collects the cash on the Customer Notes receivable over
a long period of time, borrowing against and/or selling receivables is a
necessary part of its normal operations.
For regular Federal income tax purposes, the Company reports
substantially all of its non-factored financed Vacation Ownership Interest sales
under the installment method. Under the installment method, the Company
recognizes income on sales of Vacation Ownership Interests only when cash is
received by the Company in the form of a down payment, as installment payments
or from proceeds from the sale of the Customer Note. The deferral of income tax
liability conserves cash resources on a current basis. Interest may be 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.
At December 31, 1997, the Company, excluding Genesis, had NOL
carryforwards of $4.8 million, which expire in 2001 through 2012. At December
31, 1997, Genesis had federal NOL carryforwards of $1.9 million, which are
limited as to usage, because they arise from built-in losses of an acquired
company. In addition, such losses can only be utilized through the earnings of
Genesis and are limited to a maximum of $189,000 per year. To the extent the
entire $189,000 is not utilized in a given year, the difference may be carried
forward to future years. Any unused Genesis NOLs will expire in 2008.
In addition, Section 382 of the Code imposes additional limitations on
the utilization of NOL's by a corporation following various types of ownership
changes which result in more than a 50% change in ownership of a corporation
within a three year period. Such changes may result from new Common Stock
issuances by the Company or changes occurring as a result of filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission of Schedules 13D and 13G by holders of more
than 5% of the Common Stock, whether involving the acquisition or disposition of
Common Stock. If such a subsequent change occurs, the limitations of Section 382
would apply and may limit or deny the future utilization of the NOL by the
Company, which could result in the Company paying substantial additional federal
and state taxes. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Uses of Cash
Investing activities typically reflect a net use of cash because of
capital additions and loans to customers in connection with the Company's
Vacation Ownership Interest sales. Net cash used in investing activities in
1995, 1996 and 1997 was $3.2 million, $3.5 million and $6.5 million,
respectively. Cash used in investing activities increased $3.0 million in 1997
compared to 1996, due to the Company's purchase of the minority interest in LAP
(see Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) which included a
cash payment of approximately $820,000 and due to the Company's strategy of
hypothecating its Customer Notes rather than selling them.
The Company requires funds to finance the acquisitions of property for
future resort development and to further develop the existing resorts, as well
as to make capital improvements and support current operations. The Company is
currently constructing VCA -- Tucson, Arizona at an aggregate estimated cost of
$7.5 million. Construction of the facility commenced in 1997 and is expected to
be completed in April 1998. The Company has a commitment for construction
financing in the amount of $6.55 million, which is expected to be sufficient to
build and furnish the property. At December 31, 1997, $3.1 million had been
drawn against this commitment.
21
Customer defaults have a significant impact on cash available to the
Company from financing Customer Notes receivables in that notes which are more
than 60 to 90 days past due are not eligible as collateral. As a result, the
Company in effect must repay borrowings against such notes or buy back such
notes if they were sold with recourse.
Credit Facilities
The Company has agreements with financial institutions for total
commitments aggregating $20.0 million under which the Company may sell certain
of its Customer Notes. These agreements provide for sales on a recourse basis
with a percentage of the amount sold held back by the financial institution as
additional collateral. Notes may be sold at discounts or premiums to yield the
consumer market rate as defined by the financial institution. At December 31,
1997, approximately $6.0 million was available under these commitments.
The Company also has financing commitments aggregating $19.2 million
whereby the Company may borrow against notes receivable pledged as collateral.
These borrowings bear interest at a rate of prime plus 3.25% to prime plus 5.0%
and expire at various dates from 1998 through 2000. At December 31, 1997,
approximately $13.0 million is available under these commitments.
In the future, the Company may negotiate additional credit facilities,
issue corporate debt, issue equity securities, or any combination of the above.
Any debt incurred or issued by the Company may be secured or unsecured, may bear
interest at fixed or variable rates of interest, and may be subject to such
terms as management deems prudent. There is no assurance that the Company will
be able to secure additional corporate debt or equity at or beyond current
levels or that the Company will be able to maintain its current level of debt.
The Company believes available borrowing capacity, together with cash
generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity,
operating and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Seasonality
The Company's revenues are moderately seasonal with the volume of ILX
Owners, hotel guests and Vacation Ownership Interest exchange participants
typically greatest in the second and third fiscal quarters. As the Company
expands into new markets and geographic locations it may experience increased or
additional seasonality dynamics which may cause the Company's operating results
to fluctuate.
Year 2000 Issues
As with other organizations, some of the Company's computer programs
were originally designed to recognize calendar years by their last two digits.
Calculations performed using these truncated fields would not work properly with
dates from the year 2000 and beyond. The Company has initiated efforts to remedy
this situation and expects all programs to be corrected and tested prior to the
year 2000. The incremental costs of this project are not expected to have a
material effect of the Company's consolidated financial statements or results of
operations.
Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material impact on the
Company's revenues, operating income and net income during any of the Company's
three most recent fiscal years. However, to the extent inflationary trends
affect short-term interest rates, a portion of the Company's debt service costs
may be affected as well as the rates the Company charges on its Customer Notes.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Shareholders of ILX Resorts Incorporated
Phoenix, Arizona
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ILX
Resorts Incorporated (formerly ILX Incorporated) and Subsidiaries (the
"Company") as of December 31, 1996 and 1997 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31,
1996 and 1997 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Business Activities
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ILX
Resorts Incorporated, formerly ILX Incorporated, and its wholly-owned and
majority-owned subsidiaries ("ILX" or the "Company"). All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company's significant business activities include developing,
operating, marketing and financing ownership interests ("Vacation Ownership
Interests") in resort properties located in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Indiana
and Mexico. The Company's operations also include marketing of skin and hair
care products which are not considered significant to resort operations.
Reverse Stock Split
On January 9, 1998, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to
the Company's Articles of Incorporation to effect a one-for-five reverse stock
split of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The
reverse stock split has been retroactively reflected in the accompanying
financial statements.
Resort Property Held for Vacation Ownership Interest Sales
Resort property held for Vacation Ownership Interest sales is recorded
at the lower of historical cost less amounts charged to cost of Vacation
Ownership Interests sold or market. As Vacation Ownership Interests are sold,
the Company amortizes to cost of sales the average carrying value of the
property plus estimated future additional costs related to remodeling and
construction.
Land held for sale is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less
cost to sell, consistent with the Company's intention to liquidate these
properties.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from sales of Vacation Ownership Interests is recognized in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 66, Accounting
for Sales of Real Estate ("SFAS 66"). No sales are recognized until such time as
a minimum of 10% of the purchase price has been received in cash, the statutory
rescission period has expired, the buyer is committed to continued payments of
the remaining purchase price and the Company has been released of all future
obligations for the Vacation Ownership Interest. Resort operating revenue
represents daily room rentals and revenues from food and other resort services.
Such revenues are recorded as the rooms are rented or the services are
performed.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated on the
straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives ranging from 3
to 30 years. Property and equipment under capitalized leases are stated at the
lesser of fair value or the present value of future minimum lease payments as of
the date placed in service, and amortized on the straight-line method over the
term of the lease.
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
Cash equivalents are liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less. The following summarizes interest paid, income taxes paid
and capitalized interest to resort property under development:
Year Ended December 31,

Accounting Matters
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), which was effective for the Company
beginning January 1, 1996. SFAS 123 requires expanded disclosures of stock-based
compensation arrangements with employees and encourages (but does not require)
compensation cost to be measured based on the fair value of the equity
instrument awarded. Companies are permitted, however, to continue to apply APB
Opinion No. 25, which recognizes compensation cost based on the intrinsic value
of the equity instrument awarded. The Company did not grant any stock options to
employees in 1996 or 1997. The Company intends to continue to apply APB Option
No. 25 to any future stock options that may be granted to employees.
In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS 125"), which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 31, 1996. During 1997, SFAS 125 was adopted and
had no significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure" ("SFAS 129"), which
is effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997
and establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital
structure. During 1997, SFAS 129 was adopted and had no significant effect on
the Company's disclosures about its capital structure.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), which is effective for
financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997 and
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements. The Company does not believe the adoption
of SFAS 130 will have a material impact on its financial statement presentation
or related disclosures.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS
131"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and
establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires
that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in
interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards
for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major
customers.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
The financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to be
consistent with the current period financial statement presentation.

============ ============
Notes generated from the sale of Vacation Ownership Interests generally
bear interest at annual rates ranging from 11% to 16% and have terms of five to
ten years. The notes are collateralized by deeds of trust on the Vacation
Ownership Interests sold.
The Company has agreements with financial institutions for total
commitments aggregating $20 million under which the Company may sell certain of
its notes receivable. These agreements provide for sales on a recourse basis
with a percentage of the amount sold held back by the financial institution as
additional collateral. Notes may be sold at discounts to yield the consumer
market rate as defined by the financial institution. At December 31, 1997,
approximately $6.0 million is available under these commitments.
The Company also has financing commitments aggregating $19.2 million
whereby the Company may borrow against notes receivable pledged as collateral.
These borrowings bear interest at prime plus 3.25% to prime plus 5% and expire
at various dates from 1998 through 2000. At December 31, 1997, approximately
$13.0 million is available under these commitments.
At December 31, 1996 and 1997, the Company had approximately $22
million and $24 million, respectively, in outstanding notes receivable sold on a
recourse basis. Portions of the notes receivable are secured by deeds of trust
on Los Abrigados Resort & Spa ("Los Abrigados"), Golden Eagle Resort and Varsity
Clubs of America-South Bend ("VCA-South Bend").
At December 31, 1996 and 1997, the Company had approximately $188,000
and $173,000, respectively, in additional outstanding notes sold on a recourse

In September 1994, the Company acquired, for $15,000, an option from an
affiliate to purchase 667 Vacation Ownership Interests in Los Abrigados that
were sold in 1992. The terms of the option agreement provide that the seller may
sell to the Company or the Company may acquire from the seller up to 25 Vacation
Ownership Interests per month and, in addition, up to one half of the remainder
of the 667 Vacation Ownership Interests per year, for $2,100 per Vacation
Ownership Interest. The seller must provide the Company with written notice of
its intent to sell 30 days in advance of a monthly sale and 180 days in advance
of an annual sale. The Company had purchased 560 Vacation Ownership Interests
under this option as of December 31, 1997.
Varsity Clubs of America Incorporated ("Varsity Clubs"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ILX, intends to develop lodging accommodations in areas located
near major university campuses, and to market those lodging accommodations,
including interval ownership interests, to alumni and other sport enthusiasts.
The first Varsity Clubs facility, located near the University of Notre Dame, was
completed in August 1995. Revenues of $513,400, net of related selling costs of
$148,205, were deferred at December 31, 1994 and were recognized in 1995 when
construction was complete. The Company is currently constructing a second
Varsity Club in Tucson, Arizona (Note 5).
The Company acquired approximately one-half acre of improved property,
to be known as the Inn at Los Abrigados, adjacent to Los Abrigados, in September
1996 for a purchase price of $750,000, consisting of a $185,862 cash down
payment and a $564,138 first deed of trust. The Company made improvements to the
property through late November 1997 when it commenced resort operations.
Vacation Ownership Interest sales are expected to begin in 1998.
In December 1997, the Company acquired the Roundhouse Resort, an
existing 59-unit Vacation Ownership Interest resort with approximately five
acres of developable land located in Pinetop/Lakeside, Arizona. The purchase
price of $700,000 was financed by the issuance of a note payable. The Company
intends to construct additional Vacation Ownership Interests on the property
commencing in 1998.

Note 5. Resort Property under Development
In July 1995, the Company acquired for $1,002,000 a two-acre parcel in
Tucson, Arizona, near the University of Arizona, to be the site of a second
Varsity Clubs. The Company made a down payment of $300,600 with the remaining
balance of $701,400 financed by a note payable to the seller. Construction of
the facility commenced in 1997 and is expected to be completed in 1998. The
Company has a commitment for construction financing in the amount of $6.55
million (Note 9), which is expected to be sufficient to build and furnish the
property.
Note 6. Deferred Assets
As part of the acquisition of Los Abrigados, certain affiliates of the
Company guaranteed the underlying mortgage on the resort. As partial
consideration for their guarantee, the affiliates earned a $780,000 fee. The fee
is amortized to expense and was payable to the affiliates at the rate of $100
per Los Abrigados Vacation Ownership Interest sold. At December 31, 1996 and
1997, deferred assets included $287,400 and $195,150, respectively, of guarantee
fees, net of accumulated amortization.
As additional consideration for the guarantee, the affiliates were
entitled to receive a percentage of certain amounts held back on the sale of
notes receivable by a financial institution as collateral. The amount was paid
as the amounts held back were collected from the financial institution.

The Company reports substantially all Vacation Ownership Interest sales
that it finances on the installment method for Federal income tax purposes.
Under the installment method, the Company does not recognize income on the
financed portion of sales of Vacation Ownership Interests, until the installment
payments on customer receivables are received by the Company or the customer
receivables are sold by the Company. Interest will be 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. The amount of interest expense is not estimable as of December 31, 1997.
The Company is subject to Alternative Minimum Tax ("AMT") as a result
of the deferred income that results from the installment sales treatment of
timeshare sales for regular tax purposes. The AMT liability creates a deferred
tax asset that can be used to offset any future tax liability from regular
Federal income tax. This deferred tax asset has an unlimited carryover period.
In 1994, due to the profitability of Los Abrigados, the improvement in
the Arizona real estate market and the development of tax strategies, which
include the acquisition by Genesis of Vacation Ownership Interests in resort
properties that have historically been sold on a profitable basis, it was
concluded that more likely than not a portion of the Genesis net operating loss
("NOL") carryforwards and the remainder of Los Abrigados tax benefits would be
utilized. Accordingly, the valuation allowance was reduced in 1994. In 1995, due
to the continued expansion and profitability of Vacation Ownership Interests
activity it was determined that the balance of the Genesis NOL's would be
utilized and the remaining valuation allowance was eliminated.
At December 31, 1997, the Company, excluding Genesis, had NOL
carryforwards of approximately $4,756,000, which expire in 2001 through 2012. At
December 31, 1997, Genesis had federal NOL carryforwards of approximately
$1,892,000 which are limited as to usage because they arise from built in losses
of an acquired company. In addition, such losses can only be utilized through
the earnings of Genesis and are limited to a maximum of $189,000 per year. To
the extent the entire $189,000 is not utilized in a given year, the difference
may be carried forward to future years. Any unused Genesis NOLs will expire in
2008.
In addition, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes
additional limitations on the utilization of NOLs by a corporation following
various types of ownership changes which result in more than a 50% change in
ownership of a corporation within a three year period. Such changes may occur as
a result of new common stock issuances by the Company or changes occurring as a
result of filings with the Securities and Exchange Commissions on Schedule 13D
and 13G by holders of more than 5% of the Common Stock, whether involving the
acquisition or disposition of common stock. If such a subsequent change occurs,
the limitations of Section 382 would apply and may limit or deny the future
utilization of the net operating loss by the Company, which could result in the
Company paying substantial additional federal and state taxes.

Note 15. Related Party Transactions
In addition to the related party transactions described elsewhere in
the financial statements, the Company had the following related party
transactions:
The Company leased from affiliates through October 1, 1996, 41 Vacation
Ownership Interests in the Stonehouse at Los Abrigados at the rate of $1,000 per
Vacation Ownership Interest per year. The Company paid $41,000 and $30,750 per
year in lease payments to affiliates for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
1996. The affiliates paid maintenance fees to the Company on an annual basis for
their ownership intervals of $650 per interval in 1995 and $714 per interval in
1996.
In June 1995, an affiliate of the Company purchased twenty-four (24)
one-night intervals in VCA-South Bend for $90,000.
In December 1995, in exchange for modification of the terms of note
payables to affiliates, the Company provided the affiliates with the option to
convert, at maturity, the $580,000 note balances into shares of ILX common stock
at the price of $10 per share. In July 1997, the Company issued 36,800 shares of
its common stock in exchange for $230,000 of the balance on this note. In
conjunction with the exchange, 100 Vacation Ownership Interests in Los
Abrigados, which collateralized the note, were released.
In December 1995, the Company sold its Red Rock Collection building to
an affiliate for $500,000. The purchase price consisted of a reduction in the
principal balance of the Company's note payable to the affiliate of $320,000 in
December 1995, and, in January 1996, payment by the affiliate of the $180,000
note collateralized by a deed of trust on the building. The Company leased

back the building for a one-year term, with four one-year options to renew
through December 2000. Rent of $44,000 was paid in 1996 and $48,000 in 1997.
In January 1996, an affiliate of the Company agreed to accept a
discounted payment of $60,000 cash and $100,000 in a promissory note as full
satisfaction of a remaining obligation of the Company to such affiliate of
$173,225 in guarantee fees and $44,073 in holdbacks. The note was paid in full
in January 1997.
In September 1996, the Company purchased from an affiliate twenty
Vacation Ownership Interests in the Stonehouse at Los Abrigados for $260,000.
Subsequently, the affiliate purchased 52 Vacation Ownership Interests in Kohl's

Note 17. Concentrations of Risk
Credit Risk
The Company is exposed to on-balance sheet credit risk related to its
notes receivable. The Company is exposed to off-balance sheet credit risk
related to loans sold under recourse provisions.
The Company offers financing to the buyers of Vacation Ownership
Interests at the Company's resorts. These buyers make a down payment of at least
10% of the purchase price and deliver a promissory note to the Company for the
balance; the promissory notes generally bear interest at a fixed rate, are
payable over a seven-year period and are collateralized by a first mortgage on
the Vacation Ownership Interest. The Company bears the risk of defaults on these
promissory notes. The Company performs credit evaluations prior to Vacation
Ownership Interest sales. The Vacation Ownership Interests deed of trust serves
as collateral on the note receivable. If a buyer of a Vacation Ownership
Interest defaults, the Company generally must foreclose on the interest and
attempt to resell it; the associated marketing, selling and administrative costs
from the original sale are not recovered; and such costs must be incurred again
to resell the Vacation Ownership Interest.
Interest Rate Risk
Because the Company's indebtedness bears interest at variable rates and
the Company's customer receivables bear interest at fixed rates, increases in
interest rates could cause the rate on the Company's borrowings to exceed the
rate at which the Company provides financing to its customers. The Company does
not engage in interest rate hedging transactions. Therefore, any increase in
interest rates, particularly if sustained, could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
Availability of Funding Sources
The Company funds substantially all of the notes receivable, resort
property held for Vacation Ownership Interest sale and land inventory which it
originates or purchases with sales of consumer notes, borrowings through its
financing facilities and internally generated funds. Borrowings are in turn
repaid with the proceeds received by the Company from sales of notes receivable
F-19
ILX RESORTS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
or from repayments by consumers of such notes receivable. To the extent that the
Company is not successful in maintaining or replacing existing financings, it
would have to curtail its operations or sell assets, thereby having a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition.
Geographic Concentration
The Company's notes receivable are primarily originated in Arizona and,
to a lesser extent, Indiana. The risk inherent in such concentrations is
dependent upon regional and general economic stability that affects property
values and the financial stability of the borrowers. The Company's resort
property held for Vacation Ownership Interests sales is also concentrated in
these states. The risk inherent in such concentrations is in the continued
popularity of the resort destinations, which affects the marketability of the
Company's products and the collection of notes receivable.
Notes 18. Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments
SFAS 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,
requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values for its financial
instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash
equivalents approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments.
Notes receivable
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for notes receivable
approximates its fair value because the interest rates on the portfolio of notes
receivable approximate current interest rates to be received on similar current
notes receivable.
Notes payable
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for notes payable
approximates its fair value because the interest rates on these instruments
approximate current interest rates charged on similar current borrowings.
Notes payable to affiliates
The fair value of the notes payable to affiliates is not determinable
since these financial instruments are not readily marketable and are payable to
affiliates.
Note 19. Subsequent Events
On February 2, 1998, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a Registration Statement related to the proposed public offering by
the Company of shares of its common stock.
