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 discussed in the Company's public
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
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 five resorts in
Arizona, one in Indiana, and one in Colorado, (collectively, the "ILX Resorts").
At December 31, 1998, the ILX Resorts represented an aggregate of 451 units and
24,791 sold and unsold one-week Vacation Ownership Interests, including 1,500
one-week 25-year right-to-use Vacation Ownership Interests currently under
construction in San Carlos, Mexico. The Company also markets additional
interests, which consisted, at December 31, 1998, of an aggregate of
approximately 78 Vacation Ownership Interests in destination resorts owned by
others and located in Florida, Mexico and elsewhere (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, 1998, 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
24,869 weeks (including 1,500 under construction in San Carlos and the
Additional Interests). The Company's total revenues increased from $6.1 million
in 1991 to $36.7 million in 1998. 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) the Roundhouse Resort in Pinetop/Lakeside,
Arizona (59 existing units owned by current owners of Vacation Ownership
Interests and planned expansion of a minimum of 20 units), and the 1,500
Vacation Ownership Interests currently under construction in San Carlos, Mexico.
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 that 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. The second Varsity Club, VCA-Tucson, consisting of 60 units, was
completed in July 1998 and is located approximately three miles from the
University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. 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 resorts situated in settings of natural beauty and located
within convenient and inexpensive travelling distance from major population
centers (currently Phoenix, Tucson 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. To the extent Varsity Clubs resorts are
4
located proximate to major population centers, such resorts may also be CARs. As
of December 31, 1998, the Company operated six resorts consisting of 392 units
and held 8,500 unsold Vacation Ownership Interests in those resorts. The
Roundhouse Resort and the San Carlos Plaza Resort are operated by third parties
not affiliated with the Company. 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.
Historically the Company has primarily marketed Vacation Ownership
Interests in individual ILX Resorts. Commencing in June 1998, the Company began
marketing some of its inventory of CARs through membership interests in its
proprietary branded Premiere Vacation Club. The Premiere Vacation Club offers
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. Vacation Ownership Interests in individual
ILX Resorts and in Premiere Vacation Club may be exchanged for a stay at other
resorts through the major national exchange networks in which ILX Owners may
participate, such as Resort Condominiums International ("RCI") and Interval
International ("II"). The vast majority of the Company's inventory of Vacation
Ownership Interests, including those at its Varsity Clubs and those included in
the Premiere Vacation Club, qualify as "red time," the highest demand
classification for purposes of participation in such exchange networks. The
Company designed the Premiere Vacation Club to respond to customer preferences
for 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 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 and its second Varsity Club, VCA-Tucson,
located near the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona, in July 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 1998, the Company sold 2,303 annual and biennial Vacation
Ownership Interests at the ILX Resorts, compared to 2,512 and 2,320 during 1997
and 1996, respectively. The average sales price for a Vacation Ownership
Interest (excluding sales of Upgrades) was $11,444 for an annual interest and
$6,899 for a biennial interest, resulting in a weighted average price of $12,656
(each biennial interest is treated as one-half of an annual interest) during the
year ended December 31, 1997 and $12,123 for an annual interest and $6,867 for a
biennial interest, resulting in a weighted average price of $13,013 during the
year ended December 31, 1998. At December 31, 1998, the Company had an existing
inventory of 10,184 unsold Vacation Ownership Interests (including the
Additional Interests and the 1,500 San Carlos Vacation Ownership 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 6,134 additional Vacation Ownership Interests through 2000 and
thereafter at the existing ILX Resorts.

THE SEA OF CORTEZ BEACH CLUB
The Sea of Cortez Beach Club is an ocean front property currently under
construction adjacent to the San Carlos Plaza Resort on the Sea of Cortez in San
Carlos, Mexico. The Company, through Premiere Vacation Club, has acquired 1,500
25-year right-to-use Vacation Ownership Interests in 32 one- and two- bedroom
units in The Sea of Cortez Beach Club upon completion of construction, which is
expected to be in late 1999. The Company intends to market such Vacation
Ownership Interests exclusively through Premiere Vacation Club. Until
construction is complete, Premiere Vacation Club members wishing to visit San
Carlos may utilize units in the San Carlos Plaza Resort and all its resort
amenities. The resort amenities will continue to be available to owners of
Vacation Ownership Interests in The Sea of Cortez Beach Club (including Premiere
Vacation Club owners as discussed more fully below) following completion of
construction. Such amenities include two outdoor swimming pools, whirlpool spa,
fitness center, three restaurants, several lounges, gift shops and water sports
equipment. Each unit in The Sea of Cortez Beach Club will have a separate living
area, bedroom(s), full kitchen and balcony or patio. In January 1999, the
Company annexed 1,500 San Carlos Vacation Ownership Interests into Premiere
Vacation Club and refiled the Premiere Vacation Club registration with the
Arizona Department of Real Estate to reflect this annexation. The Sea of Cortez
Beach Club will be an RCI Resort and has been awarded Gold Crown status. A small
onsite sales office is already operating at the San Carlos Plaza Resort and is
currently offering Vacation Ownership Interests in Premiere Vacation Club.
PREMIERE VACATION CLUB
In January 1998 the Company recorded in Maricopa County, Arizona its
proprietary Premiere Vacation Club Membership Plan and in May 1998 annexed a
total of 5,000 Vacation Ownership Interests into the Club and received
Department of Real Estate approval in the State of Arizona to commence selling
Vacation Ownership Interests in the Premiere Vacation Club. The 5,000 Vacation

Interests in Los Abrigados Resort & Spa, 265 Vacation Ownership Interests in The
Inn at Los Abrigados, 1,315 Vacation Ownership Interests in Kohl's Ranch Lodge,
565 Vacation Ownership Interests in Golden Eagle Resort, 695 Vacation Ownership
Interests in VCA-South Bend and 1,125 Vacation Ownership Interests in

Vacation Ownership Interests to 6,500 at that date.
At December 31, 1998, 4,195 of the 5,000 Premiere Vacation Club
Vacation Ownership Interests were available for sale. Premiere Vacation Club is
affiliated with II and is offered for sale at each of the Company's sales
offices.
ADDITIONAL INTERESTS
In addition to the ILX Resorts, ILX owns a designated number of
Vacation Ownership Interests at additional resorts owned by unaffiliated third
parties. At December 31, 1998, the Company owned 12 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, 1998, the
Company also owned 39 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, in
addition to the 106 Vacation Ownership Interests in the Roundhouse Resort as
disclosed above, one to two Vacation Ownership Interests in each of a number of
additional resorts that it holds for resale.
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 Vacation Ownership
Interest in the Company's proprietary branded Premiere Vacation Club are
entitled to use their Vacation Ownership Interest at any resort in the Premiere
Vacation Club or may split up their Vacation Ownership Interest according to the
owner's needs and preferences and it may be used at any number of participating
resorts, 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
9
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. 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 had not been in operation at
the time of the Company's acquisition in December 1997 nor to date, but which
the Company intends to commence operating in the summer of 1999. 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 a second Varsity Clubs
facility, 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.
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 properties
included in the Premiere Vacation Club (including the VCAs) 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 their individual ILX Resort or, in the case of Premiere
Vacation Club members, at any ILX Resort included in Premiere Vacation Club,
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 that 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 promissory notes given by ILX owners as partial payment for a
Vacation Ownership Interest ("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 believes that its internal capabilities result in greater control
and consistency of all phases of its operations and result in lower overall
10
costs than generally associated with outsourcing such operations. Such
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 or at non-affiliated hotels in popular destinations in the
western United States). 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
is marketing Vacation Ownership Interests at its VCA-Tucson, currently number
approximately 180,000. 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
Sales of Vacation Ownership Interests in Premiere Vacation Club
commenced in June 1998. Purchasers are offered 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 resorts or may be exchanged through a
participating exchange network. The Company's Premiere Vacation Club emphasizes
CARs (i) 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 Resorts. In
addition, membership interests in the Premiere Vacation Club are 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 has begun marketing 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 consisted of
Vacation Ownership Interests in the ILX Resorts. New resorts will be added
through the Company's aggressive pursuit of selected acquisition opportunities,
such as the addition of the 1,500 25-year right-to-use Vacation Ownership
Interests in The Sea of Cortez Beach Club in San Carlos, Mexico. 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 to 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. Further
capitalizing on the flexibility of Premiere Vacation Club, in March 1999 the
Company entered into an agreement with Coast Resorts whereby Premiere Vacation
Club members may utilize their Premiere time in any of the three Coast Resorts
in Las Vegas, Nevada, a convenient access destination very attractive to the
Phoenix and Tucson markets.
VARSITY CLUBS OF AMERICA
The Company intends to 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
11
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, 1998, approximately 708 one-week intervals were available for sale
(excluding 695 Vacation Ownership Interests owned by Premiere Vacation Club) and
expansion capacity exists for up to an additional 24 units (1,248 one-week
Vacation Ownership Interests). 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 second Varsity Clubs facility is located in Tucson, Arizona, less
than three miles from the University of Arizona. This second Varsity Club was
completed in July 1998 and offers 60 suites, or 3,120 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 a current alumni base in excess of 180,000 people. The
Company believes that all of these 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. The VCA-Tucson onsite sales office offers customers both
Premiere Vacation Club and VCA-Tucson Vacation Ownership Interests. Premiere
Vacation Club Interests provide the buyer with local city club privileges,
access to all resorts in Premiere Vacation Club, as well as a variety of
additional benefits.
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 up to five of these areas in the next
five 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 the majority 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 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
12
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 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 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 160 employees,
including approximately 130 sales agents at four sales offices, each located at
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 13.7% of Vacation Ownership Interest
sales by the Company during 1998. During 1997 and 1996, sales to ILX Owners
accounted for 12.5% and less than 6% of the Company's total sales, respectively.
The Company intends to increase its sales efforts with respect to ILX Owners.
Prior to June 1998, the Company's inventory of Vacation Ownership
Interests had historically consisted of a one-week interval which could be used
on an annual or an alternate-year basis in a specified ILX Resort during a
specified range of dates. ILX Owners could also participate in exchange networks
such as RCI and II. Commencing in June 1998, the Company began offering 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. Premiere Vacation Club members may divide their
stays into shorter vacations at any time between a specified period of time,
enjoy unlimited day use and discounted goods and services at any ILX Resort, as
well as a variety of other benefits. 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
13
December 31, 1998, the Company had a portfolio of retained Customer Notes with
an aggregate principal amount of $19.6 million, of which $16.6 million were
serviced by an outside vendor and had a weighted average yield of 14.4% per
annum, which compares favorably to the Company's weighted average cost of
borrowings for such Customer Notes of 10.2% 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 may utilize 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, 1998, the
Company retained Customer Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $19.6
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.
At December 31, 1998, the Company had agreements with a financial
institution for commitments totaling $20 million under which the Company could
sell certain of its Customer Notes. In March 1999, the Company entered into a
new agreement which increased the commitment amount to $40 million, reduced the
purchase rate and expanded the scope to include Customer Notes generated from
sales of Vacation Ownership Interests in additional ILX properties and Premiere
Vacation Club. The agreements provide for sales on a recourse basis with a
percentage of the amount sold held back by the respective financial institution
as additional collateral. Customer Notes may be sold at discounts or premiums to
the principal amount in order to yield the consumer market rate, as defined by
the financial institution. At December 31, 1998, $7.8 million of the $20 million
in commitments was available to the Company. The Company also has financing
commitments in the aggregate amount of $43.5 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 1.5% to
prime plus 3%, have draw periods which expire in 2001 and 2002, and maturity
dates of 2006 and 2007. At December 31, 1998, $37 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, 1996,
1997 and 1998, the aggregate amount of these reserves was $2.6 million, $3.0
million and $3.5 million, respectively. During 1996, 1997 and 1998, the
Company's provision for doubtful accounts exceeded actual write-offs by $0.2
million, $0.4 million and $0.5 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 1998, the Company received
$12.2 million in net revenues from these operations, consisting of $6.4 million
in room rental revenue, $4.1 million in food and beverage revenue and $1.7
million in other revenue. Of these amounts, Los Abrigados contributed $8.7
million, or 71.3% of the Company's total resort operations revenues in 1998. 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.
14
SEDONA SPA. The Company's operations also include the sale of personal
care products through its majority-owned subsidiary Sedona Worldwide
Incorporated. The Company's personal care products had historically been
marketed under its proprietary Red Rock Collection brand name through the ILX
Resorts. Commencing in the second quarter of 1998, these products were marketed
under the brand name "Sedona Spa" and, in connection with such change, certain
modifications to the product line were 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. The Company has announced its intention to spin-off its 80%
ownership in Sedona Worldwide Incorporated to the shareholders of ILX and has
filed a Registration Statement on Form 10-SB for the proposed spin-off with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Form 10-SB became effective by lapse of
time on January 3, 1999 and, as a result, Sedona Worldwide Incorporated became a
reporting company under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as of that date.
However, the SEC is currently reviewing the Registration Statement as of the
date of this filing.
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 acquisition of its wholly owned subsidiary, Genesis
Investment Group, Inc. ("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 the next twelve to
twenty-four months, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to
sell these assets at attractive prices, if at all, during this time. Following
the sale of these assets, management does not expect to engage in the sale of
real property.
RESALE OPERATIONS. In June 1998, the Company acquired a 51% interest in
Timeshare Resale Brokers, Inc. ("TRBI"), an Arizona company engaged in the
resale of Vacation Ownership Interests on behalf of consumers and others, for
which it earns a commission upon sale. The operation is based in Sedona,
Arizona, and while the Company anticipates the possibility of expanding these
operations to additional vacation destinations and offering a resale multiple
listing service to other resale companies, to date the operations of TRBI have
not been material to the Company.
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 the American Resort Development
Association, 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 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 tends to increase customer
satisfaction.
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
145
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
Sunterra Resorts, Fairfield Communities, Inc., Silverleaf Resorts, Inc.,
Trendwest Resorts, Inc., Bluegreen Corporation 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 Vacation
Ownership 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
Vacation Ownership 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 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, its business, assets, financial
condition or results of operations, nor is the Company aware of any such
material environmental liability.
16
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, 1998, the Company had approximately 790 employees,
of which approximately 540 were employed on a full-time basis (including
approximately 130 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.
CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS
The Company leases 5,444 square feet for its corporate offices in
Phoenix, Arizona, under a lease which expires on January 31, 2002.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
A dispute has arisen between the general contractor, Summit Builders,
and the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, VCA Tucson Incorporated with respect
to amounts owing under the guaranteed maximum price contract relating to the
construction of VCA-Tucson. Jeffrey C. Stone dba Summit Builders has filed a
demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association, claiming
damages of $1,763,084.77. The Company is contesting the claim vigorously and has
filed a counterclaim in the amount of $2,372,427. The Company has obtained a
payment bond in the amount of $2,645,227.15 in accordance with the provisions of
Arizona law. In February 1999, the parties entered into a stipulation agreement
under which Summit Builders reduced certain of its claims totaling $197,239, the
Company agreed to claims totaling $226,854, of which $116,714 represents
undisputed change orders previously approved by the Company, and both parties
dismissed fraud claims previously sought. In the event that the arbitration
results in any liability to the Company greater than amounts accrued for the
guaranteed maximum price plus approved change orders, such additional liability
will increase the amount recorded as resort property held for sale for
VCA-Tucson and will be amortized to cost of sales prospectively as Vacation
Ownership Interests are sold.
A dispute has arisen between Bowne of Phoenix, Inc. ("Bowne"), and the
Company regarding amounts owing for printing related to the Company's 1998
follow-on public offering. Bowne and the Company reached agreement on a payment
of $110,000 for such services, which Bowne subsequently sought to change. Bowne
has filed suit in the Superior Court of Arizona seeking total payment of
$154,720.48 plus interest and attorneys' fees. The Company is vigorously
contesting the claim and believes the matter will be resolved for less than the
settlement previously agreed to by Bowne prior to its institution of litigation
and that the Company will recover its attorneys' fees and other costs of
litigation.
Other litigation has arisen in the normal course of the Company's
business, none of which is deemed to be material.

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 resorts.
The Company currently owns five resorts in Arizona, one in Indiana and one in
Colorado.
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.

19
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 TO DECEMBER 31, 1998
Sales of Vacation Ownership Interests decreased 6% or $1.5 million in
1998 to $22.5 million from $24.0 in 1997. The decrease reflects both a decrease
in tour flow in the Sedona and South Bend sales offices and a lower closing rate
in the Sedona sales office. Upgrade revenue, included in sales of Vacation
Ownership Interests, increased 3% from $3.0 million in 1997 to $3.1 million in
1998. The average sales price per Vacation Ownership Interest sold (including
Upgrades) increased 4.8% from $14,446 in 1997 to $15,137 in 1998 as a result of
increased sales prices.
The number of Vacation Ownership Interests sold decreased 10.5% from
1,660 in 1997 to 1,485 in 1998. The average sales price per Vacation Ownership
Interest sold (excluding Upgrades) increased 2.8% from $12,656 in 1997 to
$13,013 in 1998. Sales of Vacation Ownership Interests in 1998 included 1,637
biennial Vacation Ownership Interests (counted as 819 annual Vacation Ownership
Interests) and 666 annual Vacation Ownership Interests compared to 1,705
biennial Vacation Ownership Interest sales (counted as 853 annual Vacation
Ownership Interests) and 807 annual Vacation Ownership Interests in 1997. The
increase in average price per Vacation Ownership Interest sold (excluding
Upgrades) in 1998 resulted from increased prices related to the June 1998
introduction of a new product, Premiere Vacation Club. Premiere Vacation Club
members may use their time at any of the ILX Resorts, and enjoy day use and
food, beverage and other discounts at any ILX Resort. The Company charges higher
prices for the greater flexibility and benefits Premiere Vacation Club offers.
Resort operating revenues increased 11.9% or $1.3 million from $10.9
million in 1997 to $12.2 million in 1998 as a result of increased occupancy and
the opening of VCA-Tucson in July 1998. The cost of resort operations increased
13.3% or $1.4 million from $10.5 million in 1997 to $11.9 million in 1998 as a
result of costs related to increased occupancy and the opening of VCA-Tucson.
The increase in cost of resort operations as a percentage of resort operating
revenue from 95.9% in 1997 to 97.3% in 1998 reflects the start-up costs of
VCA-Tucson as well as initial lower occupancy of this new property.
The 36.4% increase in interest income from $1.5 million in 1997 to $2.1
million in 1998 is a result of the increased Customer Notes retained by the
Company and increases in interest rates charged by the Company on its Customer
Notes. The Company has sought to increase the percentage of Customer Notes it
retains (hypothecates) and borrows against, rather than sells, thereby
benefiting from the interest spread between the customer rate and the lower
Company borrowing rate.
Interest expense is comparable between years in spite of greater
hypothecation borrowings because of reductions in other notes payable from the
proceeds of the Company's follow-on offering in the second quarter of 1998.
Cost of Vacation Ownership Interests sold as a percentage of Vacation
Ownership Interest sales increased from 13.4% in 1997 to 13.9% in 1998 due to an
increase in the sales mix of purpose-built VCA facilities, which have a higher
cost basis than acquired resorts. Sales of Vacation Ownership Interests in
VCA-Tucson commenced in mid-1997, with the first full year of sales in 1998.
Sales and marketing as a percentage of sales of Vacation Ownership
Interests increased to 68.0% in 1998 compared to 57.9% in 1997 due primarily to
reduced closing rates at the Sedona sales office and to low tour flow to the
South Bend sales office, coupled with high marketing costs, as the Company
pursued start-up of alternative marketing approaches to generate tours to the
South Bend sales office. Tours to this office had previously been produced by an
outside vendor who was terminated due to unethical business practices.
The provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of Vacation
Ownership Interest sales remained comparable between years.
General and administrative expenses increased 13.3% to $3.4 million in
1998 from $3.0 million in 1997. General and administrative expenses increased to
9.2% as a percentage of total timeshare revenues in 1998 from 8.2% in 1997 due
to an increase in payroll expense, professional fees and automation, in part due
to the infrastructure necessary for the introduction and support of Premiere
Vacation Club.
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 1997 to 1998 reflects the
buyout by the Company of the Los Abrigados Partners Limited Partnership ("LAP")
minority interest in August 1997.
20
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
Sales of Vacation Ownership Interests increased 22.1% 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) and 807 annual Vacation Ownership Interests compared to 1,517
biennial Vacation Ownership Interest sales (counted as 759 annual Vacation
Ownership Interests) and 803 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 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 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.
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. 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 necessary to provide sufficient
cash available to fund its normal operations.
21
Cash provided by financing activities increased to $9.8 million in 1998
from $3.4 million in 1997 and from a use of cash of $7 million in 1996,
reflecting the follow-on public offering of 1.6 million shares of common stock
in April 1998 for proceeds net of offering costs of $9.4 million. The Company
used a portion of the proceeds to reduce notes payable and negotiated in excess
of $40 million in lines of credit against consumer notes receivable at favorable
borrowing rates, consistent with its intent to retain more of its consumer notes
receivable and borrow against such notes, thereby earning the interest spread
between the consumer rate and the lower borrowing rate.
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, 1998, the Company, excluding its Genesis subsidiary,
had net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of $4.3 million, which expire in
2001 through 2012. At December 31, 1998, Genesis had federal NOL carryforwards
of $1.7 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 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 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
1996, 1997 and 1998 was $3.5 million, $6.5 million and $4.8 million,
respectively. Cash used in investing activities decreased $1.7 million in 1998
compared to 1997, due to the 1997 purchase of the LAP minority interest, which
included a cash payment of approximately $820,000, and due to a reduction from
1997 purchases of property and equipment.
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. Cash used in
operating activities in 1998 was $5.1 million as compared to cash provided by
operating activities of $2.8 million in 1997 reflecting the cost of completion
of VCA-Tucson in 1998. The construction and furnishing of this facility was
funded by a construction note and lease financing. The Company intends to build
twelve additional cabins at Kohl's Ranch in 1999, for which a financing
commitment equal to the construction cost is in place.
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 AND CAPITAL
At December 31, 1998, the Company had agreements with a financial
institution for commitments totaling $20 million under which the Company could
sell certain of its Customer Notes. In March 1999, the Company entered into a
new agreement which increased the commitment amount to $40 million, reduced the
purchase rate and expanded the scope to include Customer Notes generated from
sales of Vacation Ownership Interests in additional ILX properties and Premiere
Vacation Club. The agreements provide for sales on a recourse basis with a
percentage of the amount sold held back by the respective financial institution
22
as additional collateral. Customer Notes may be sold at discounts or premiums to
the principal amount in order to yield the consumer market rate, as defined by
the financial institution. At December 31, 1998, $7.8 million of the $20 million
in commitments was available to the Company.
The Company also has financing commitments aggregating $43.5 million
whereby the Company may borrow against notes receivable pledged as collateral.
These borrowings bear interest at a rate of prime plus 1.5% to prime plus 3% and
expire at various dates from 1998 through 2000. At December 31, 1998,
approximately $37 million is available under these commitments.
In April 1998, the Company sold, through a public offering, 1,400,000
shares of its common stock at a price of $6.75; EVEREN Securities, Inc., the
underwriter of the offering, also exercised its overallotment option and
purchased an additional 200,000 shares at a price of $6.75, for total proceeds
of $10,800,000. Proceeds of the offering, net of the costs of the underwriting
(including a 7% underwriting discount, professional fees, printing and
promotional costs totaling $1,405,711), were used to reduce debt and for working
capital.
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.
OTHER
In June 1998, the Company acquired 1,500 one-week, 25-year right-to-use
Vacation Ownership Interests to be constructed on land adjacent to a full
service resort in San Carlos, Mexico. Such Vacation Ownership Interests were
contributed to the Company's Premiere Vacation Club in exchange for
participation in the profits of Premiere Vacation Club as provided in the
agreement. In January 1999, the Vacation Ownership Interests were annexed into
Premiere Vacation Club, with Premiere Vacation Club members having the right to
use the full service resort pending completion of construction.
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
The inability of computers, software and other equipment utilizing
microprocessors to recognize and properly process data fields containing a
2-digit year is commonly referred to as the Year 2000 Compliance issue. As the
year 2000 approaches, such systems may be unable to accurately process certain
date-based information.
The Company believes it has identified all significant applications
that will require modifications to ensure Year 2000 Compliance. Internal and
external resources are currently being used to test Year 2000 Compliance and
make any additional modifications where required. The identification of needed
modifications and upgrades of all significant internal applications was complete
at December 31, 1998.
In addition, the Company is communicating with others with whom it does
significant business to determine their Year 2000 Compliance readiness and the
extent to which the Company is vulnerable to any third party Year 2000
Compliance issues. However, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other
companies on which the Company's systems rely will be timely converted, or that
a failure to convert by another company, or a conversion that is incompatible
with the Company's systems, would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company.
The total cost to the Company of these Year 2000 Compliance activities
has not been and is not anticipated to be material to its financial position or
results of operations in any given year. Since the Company commenced its
assessment of its Year 2000 Compliance during early 1998, it has expended
approximately $60,000 and estimates additional future costs of approximately
23
$40,000, consisting primarily of software purchases and associated training and
consulting services. In addition, certain employees of the Company have devoted
their time to assessing and implementing the Company's Year 2000 Compliance, the
costs of which have not been separately allocated by the Company. These costs
and the date on which the Company plans to complete the Year 2000 modification
and testing processes are based on management's best estimates, which were
derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events including the continued
availability of certain resources and other factors. However, there can be no
guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ
from those plans.
The Company is in the process of developing a contingency plan in the
event that any of its systems or the systems of any third party with which it
has a material relationship are not Year 2000 Compliant, and expects to have the
plan complete by August 31, 1999. In the event that the Company is vulnerable to
any such Year 2000 Compliance issue, the worst case scenario could include any
or all of the following:
1) Inability to timely collect payments on Customer Notes;
2) Inability to timely or properly bill customers for resort charges;
3) Reduction in effectiveness of generating tours to sales offices;
4) Inability to purchase goods (including food, beverages and operating
supplies) from existing sources, thereby forcing the Company to use
alternative vendors at potentially less favorable pricing;
5) Inability to process payroll and/or perform other accounting functions on
an efficient basis; and
6) Suspension of some or all 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.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
See the information set forth on Index to Consolidated Financial
Statements appearing on page F-1 of this Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING
AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On November 20, 1998, Deloitte & Touche LLP ("D&T") resigned as the
principal independent accountants for the Company. D&T delivered its resignation
at a meeting held with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.
Prior to such meeting, the Audit Committee had determined to terminate D&T as a
result of issues relating to the Company's evaluation of the quality of service
provided by D&T.
D&T advised the Audit Committee that it was resigning due to a
disagreement over the proper treatment of the extinguishment by the Company of
certain debt. In September 1998, the Company prepaid a promissory note to an
affiliated party in exchange for the forgiveness of $200,000 of the principal
amount of such note. This transaction was reflected as approximately $200,000 of
income in the Company's income statement for the fiscal quarter ended September
30, 1998. The nature of this transaction was also disclosed in Note 3 to the
Company's financial statements for such period. D&T indicated that its view was
that, because this transaction was with a related party, it should have been
treated as a capital transaction under APB 26. Although the Company believes
that its treatment of this extinguishment of debt is consistent with Paragraph
20 of APB 26, on December 31, 1998, the Company amended its report on Form 10-Q
for the period ended September 30, 1998 to reflect the treatment of this
transaction as a capital transaction.
Neither of D&T's reports on the Company's financial statements for the
last two years contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were
they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles. In addition, during such periods and the period from December 31,
1997 until the date of D&T's resignation, except for the disagreement discussed
in the preceding paragraph, there were no disagreements or "reportable events",
as contemplated by Item 304(a)(1) (iv) and (v), respectively, under Regulation
S-K.
On December 11, 1998, the Company filed an Amendment No. 1 to its
Report on Form 8-K dated November 20, 1998 for the purpose of filing a letter
from D&T in which D&T indicated that it disagreed with certain portions of the
foregoing description of the events related to its resignation. Copies of the
Form 8-K and the Amendment thereto are publicly available.
24
As reported on the Company's Form 8-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on February 16, 1999, on February 8, 1999, the Company
engaged Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, a professional corporation ("HB&M"), as its
principal accountant to audit the Company's financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 1998. Prior to its engagement, the Company had not consulted
HB&M with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction or any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable
event (as described in Item 301(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). The Company has
authorized D&T to respond fully to inquiries of the successor accountant
concerning the subject matter of the disagreement discussed above.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Shareholders of ILX Resorts Incorporated
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ILX Resorts
Incorporated and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1998 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, 1998.
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 audit.
We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at
December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998 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 marketed. 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:

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 intends to continue to apply APB
Option No. 25 to any future stock options that may be granted to employees. See
Note 15 for related disclosure.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure" ("SFAS 129"), which
was effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15,
1997 and establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity's
capital structure. SFAS 129 was adopted by the Company in 1997. There were no
significant effects on the Company's disclosures about its capital structure, as
that term is defined in SFAS 129, in the year ended December 31, 1997 or
December 31, 1998.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), which was 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 adopted SFAS 130 in 1998.
There were no items of other comprehensive income, as that term is defined in
SFAS 130, in the year ended December 31, 1997 or December 31, 1998.
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. The Company has a single segment in the timeshare resort industry.
Revenue from products and services are reflected on the income statement under
Sales of Vacation Ownership Interests and Resort Operating Revenue.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS
133"), which is effective for the Company in 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires that an
entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance
sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The standard also provides
specific guidance for accounting for derivatives designated as hedging
instruments. The Company is currently evaluating what impact this standard will
have on its financial statements.
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 13% to 16% and have terms of five to
ten years. The notes are collateralized by deeds of trust on the Vacation
Ownership Interests sold.
At December 31, 1998, the Company had agreements with a financial
institution for commitments totaling $20 million under which the Company could
sell certain of its Customer Notes. In March 1999, the Company entered into a
new agreement which increased the commitment amount to $40 million, reduced the
purchase rate and expanded the scope to include Customer Notes generated from
sales of Vacation Ownership Interests in additional ILX properties and Premiere
Vacation Club. The agreements provide for sales on a recourse basis with a
percentage of the amount sold held back by the respective financial institution
as additional collateral. Customer Notes may be sold at discounts or premiums to
the principal amount in order to yield the consumer market rate, as defined by
the financial institution. At December 31, 1998, $7.8 million of the $20 million
in commitments was available to the Company.
The Company also has financing commitments aggregating $43.5 million
whereby the Company may borrow against notes receivable pledged as collateral.
These borrowings bear interest at prime plus 1.5% to prime plus 3% and expire at
various dates from 2002 through 2003. At December 31, 1998, approximately $37.0
million is available under these commitments.
At December 31, 1997 and 1998, the Company had approximately $24
million and $21 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"), Varsity Clubs of America-South
Bend ("VCA-South Bend") and Varsity Clubs of America - Tucson ("VCA-Tucson").
At December 31, 1998, notes receivable in the amount of approximately
$348,203 have been contributed to the Company's Series A Preferred Stock sinking
fund and therefore their use is restricted (Note 13).
The following summarizes activity in the allowance for possible credit
losses:

The Company considers all notes receivable past due in excess of 90
days to be delinquent. At December 31, 1998, $4.7 million in principal or $3.5
million net of the historical costs of the underlying property which would be
recovered in the event of noncollectibility, or 12% and 8.9%, respectively, of
the retained notes and notes previously sold, which are recourse to the Company,
were more than 90 days past due.
At December 31, 1997 and 1998, the above allowance includes $480,000
and $420,000 respectively, for notes sold with recourse.

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.
Construction of the second Varsity Clubs facility, located near the University
of Arizona, in Tucson, commenced in 1997 and was completed in July 1998. At
December 31, 1997 the costs of construction to date were recorded as resort
property under development.
The Company acquired approximately one-half acre of improved property
now 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 began in February 1998.
In December 1997, the Company acquired the development rights at 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. The initial planning and development for such
expansion began in 1998.
In January 1998 the Company recorded in Maricopa County, Arizona its
proprietary Premiere Vacation Club Membership Plan and in May 1998 annexed a
total of 5,000 Vacation Ownership Interests into the Club and received
Department of Real Estate approval in the State of Arizona to commence selling
Vacation Ownership Interests in the Premiere Vacation Club. The 5,000 Vacation
Ownership Interests annexed into the Club consisted of 1,035 Vacation Ownership
Interests in Los Abrigados Resort & Spa, 265 Vacation Ownership Interests in The
Inn at Los Abrigados, 1,315 Vacation Ownership Interests in Kohl's Ranch Lodge,
565 Vacation Ownership Interests in Golden Eagle Resort, 695 Vacation Ownership
Interests in VCA-South Bend and 1,125 Vacation Ownership Interests in

NOTE 5. RESORT PROPERTY UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Resort property under development totaling $2,943,936 at December 31,

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, 1997 and
1998, deferred assets included $195,150 and $154,235, 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.

December 31, 1996, property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation,
included $2,162,280 related to Lomacasi Cottages, which served as collateral for
two notes payable aggregating $2,156,842 at December 31, 1996. In December 1997,
the Company sold its general partner interest in Lomacasi Cottages to a
non-affiliated buyer. In connection with the sale, the buyer assumed the notes

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, 1998.
The Company is subject to Alternative Minimum Tax ("AMT") as a result
of the deferred income that results from the installment sales treatment of
vacation ownership interest 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 NOLs would be
utilized and the remaining valuation allowance was eliminated.
At December 31, 1998, the Company, excluding its Genesis subsidiary,
had NOL carryforwards of approximately $4,264,000, which expire in 2001 through
2012. At December 31, 1998, Genesis had federal NOL carryforwards of
approximately $1,725,000 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.

Company anticipates the possibility of expanding these operations to additional
vacation destinations and offering a resale multiple listing service to other
resale companies, to date the operations of TRBI have not been material to the
Company.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
A dispute has arisen between the general contractor, Summit Builders,
and the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, VCA Tucson Incorporated with respect
to amounts owing under the guaranteed maximum price contract relating to the
construction of VCA-Tucson. Jeffrey C. Stone dba Summit Builders has filed a
demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association, claiming
damages of $1,763,085. The Company is contesting the claim vigorously and has
filed a counterclaim in the amount of $2,372,427. The Company has obtained a
payment bond in the amount of $2,645,227 in accordance with the provisions of
Arizona law. In February 1999, the parties entered into a stipulation agreement
under which Summit Builders reduced certain of its claims totaling $197,239, the
Company agreed to claims totaling $226,854, of which $116,714 represents
undisputed change orders previously approved by the Company, and both parties
dismissed fraud claims previously sought. In the event that the arbitration
results in any liability to the Company greater than amounts accrued for the
guaranteed maximum price plus approved change orders, such additional liability
will increase the amount recorded as resort property held for sale for
VCA-Tucson and will be amortized to cost of sales prospectively as Vacation
Ownership Interests are sold.
A dispute has arisen between Bowne of Phoenix, Inc. ("Bowne"), and the
Company regarding amounts owing for printing related to the Company's 1998
follow-on public offering. Bowne and the Company reached agreement on a payment
of $110,000 for such services, which Bowne subsequently sought to change. Bowne
has filed suit in the Superior Court of Arizona seeking total payment of
$154,720 plus interest and attorneys' fees. The Company is vigorously contesting
the claim and believes the matter will be resolved for less than the settlement
previously agreed to by Bowne prior to its institution of litigation and that
the Company will recover its attorneys' fees and other costs of litigation.
Other litigation has arisen in the normal course of the Company's
business, none of which is deemed to be material.

NOTE 16. 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 $30,750 per year in lease
payments to affiliates for the year ended December 31, 1996. The affiliates paid
maintenance fees to the Company on an annual basis for their ownership intervals
of $714 per interval in 1996.
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,
which houses its Phoenix telemarketing operations, the Sedona Spa warehouse and
administrative offices and certain other ILX administrative offices, 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 leases the
building for a one-year term, with four one-year options to renew through
December 2000. Rent of $48,000 was paid in 1997 and $48,000 in 1998.
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
Ranch for $260,000.
In September 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with an
affiliate to pay off at a $200,000 discount a promissory note with a principal
balance before the discount of $998,349. The $200,000 discount has been recorded
as a capital transaction.

SAN CARLOS, MEXICO
In June 1998, the Company acquired 1,500 one-week, 25-year right-to-use
Vacation Ownership Interests to be constructed on land adjacent to a full
service resort in San Carlos, Mexico. Such interests will be contributed to the
Company's Premiere Vacation Club in exchange for participation in the profits of
Premiere Vacation Club as provided in the agreement.
SEDONA WORLDWIDE SPIN-OFF
The Company has announced its intention to spin-off its 80% ownership
in Sedona Worldwide Incorporated to the shareholders of ILX and has filed a
Registration Statement on Form 10-SB for the proposed spin-off with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Sedona Worldwide Incorporated has become a
reporting company (as defined by the SEC) as a part of the process but the
Registration Statement has not been approved as of the date of this filing. The
spin-off will be completed following the effectiveness of the Form 10-SB.
NOTE 19. 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 Interest 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.
F-20
ILX RESORTS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AVAILABILITY OF FUNDING SOURCES
The Company funds substantially all of the notes receivable, resort
property held for Vacation Ownership Interest sales 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
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 Interest 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 20. 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 21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 8, 1999, the Company engaged Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, a
professional corporation ("HB&M"), as its principal accountant to audit ILX's
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998. Prior to its
engagement, ILX had not consulted HB&M with respect to the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction or any matter that was the
subject of a disagreement or a reportable event (as described in Item
301(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
