NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
Howey Acquisition, Inc. ("HAI") dba, Priscilla Murphy Realty, Inc. and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Priscilla Murphy Realty, Inc. ("PMR") and Realty
Consultants, Inc., (collectively the "Company"), are Florida corporations. The
Company provides vacation property rentals and sales on the Florida Islands of
Sanibel and Captiva for approximately 900 rental units. The Company provides its
management services to property owners pursuant to management contracts which
are generally one year in length. The majority of such contracts contain
automatic renewal provisions but also allow property owners to terminate the
contract at any time. The Company's operations are seasonal, with a peak during
the first quarter of the year.
On January 3, 1997, HAI entered into an agreement to purchase the assets and
assume certain liabilities of PMR. HAI borrowed $5,800,000 from a bank and a
stockholder to finance the purchase transaction. The fair value of the net
assets purchased totaled $225,000, resulting in the recognition of goodwill of
$5,575,000. The goodwill is being amortized using a 40-year estimated life.
Additionally, the Company executed a non-compete agreement with the former
shareholder valued at $200,000. The non-compete agreement is for a period of ten
years and is payable in installments of approximately $3,000 per month for 5
years.
On May 26, 1998, ResortQuest International, Inc. ("ResortQuest") consummated its
initial public offering and acquired all of the outstanding stock of the Company
in exchange for cash and shares of ResortQuest common stock (the "Combination").
In connection with the Combination, stockholders agreed to reductions in salary
and benefits which would have reduced general and administrative expenses by
approximately $250,000 and $0 for 1997 and the period from January 1, 1998
through May 26, 1998, respectively. In addition, the purchase price for the
Company was adjusted for certain working capital adjustments of approximately
$78,000.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Basis of Combination and Financial Statement Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HAI and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, PMR (collectively, the "Company"). All intercompany
items and transactions have been eliminated.
The consolidated statements of operations of the Company for the period from
January 1, 1997 to January 3, 1997 (inception), has not been presented due to
the nominal level of operations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records property rental fees on the accrual basis of accounting,
ratably over the term of guest stays, as earned. The Company requires a deposit
equal to 100% of the rental fee 45 days prior to the expected arrival date.
These deposits are non-refundable and are recorded as customer deposits and
deferred revenue in the accompanying financial statements until the guest stay
commences. The Company records revenue for cancellations as they occur.
Service fees are recorded for a variety of services and are recognized as the
service is provided, including cleaning income, repair and maintenance and
service charges.
Commissions on real estate sales are recognized at closing and are recorded net
of the related commission expense. The Company recognized commission revenues of
approximately $5,440,000 and $3,090,000 for period ending December 31, 1997 and
the period from January 1, 1998 through May 26, 1998, respectively, and
commission expense of approximately $3,967,000 and $2,254,000 for the period
ending December 31, 1997 and the period from January 1, 1998 through May 26,
1998, respectively.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses include travel agent commissions, salaries, communications,
advertising, credit card fees and other costs associated with managing and
selling properties.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the balance sheets and statements of cash flows, the Company
considers all investments with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred.
Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the useful lives
of existing equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or
disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is
recognized in the statement of operations.

Income Taxes
The Company has elected S Corporation status as defined by the Internal Revenue
Code and state tax statutes, whereby the Company is not subject to taxation for
federal or state tax purposes. Under S Corporation status, the stockholders'
report their shares of the Company's taxable earnings or losses in their
personal tax returns.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions by
management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures 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.
Concentration of Risk
The Company's operations are exclusively in the Fort Myers/Sanibel and Captiva
Islands, Florida area and are subject to significant changes due to weather
conditions.
