Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. (the “Company”) developed and operates Saddlebrook Resort, which is a condominium hotel and resort located in Wesley Chapel, Florida.

The Company’s accompanying balance sheet for June 30, 2004, and its statements of operations and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, are unaudited but reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

The Company’s business is seasonal. Therefore, the results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

These financial statements and related notes are presented for interim periods in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, consequently, do not include all disclosures normally provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

If received, the additional financing will be due with the existing debt on June 30, 2013.

A favorable settlement of $4,950,000 was received by the Company in February 2004. Certain related expenses for legal services and bonuses have been netted against this amount resulting in a net litigation settlement of $3,177,832.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

The Company operates Saddlebrook Resort (the “Resort”) in Wesley Chapel, Florida, which contains condominium units that have been sold to third parties or to affiliates of the Company. The majority of the condominium units are hotel accommodations that participate in a rental-pooling program (the “Rental Pool”) that provides its owners with a percentage distribution of related room revenues minus certain fees and expenses. The remainder of the condominium units either participate in a non-pooling rental program, are owner-occupied or are designated as hospitality suites or housing for young athletes independent of the rental programs. Other resort property owned by the Company and its affiliates include golf courses, tennis courts, a spa, restaurants and conference center facilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s operations are seasonal with the highest volume of sales generally occurring in the first quarter of each calendar year. The second quarter has, historically, had marginal financial results. Accordingly, the Company experienced an improvement in its financial condition as of June 30, 2004 when compared with its fiscal year end of December 31, 2003. The primary effect of this seasonal period was an increase in current assets and accumulated earnings.

The Company’s financing from a third-party lender has a fixed annual interest rate of 7.7%, monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $244,000 and matures on June 30, 2013. The current debt agreement contains additional financing from the same lender of $5,000,000 provided the Company is in compliance with certain financial covenants. For the debt’s reporting period ended June 30, 2004, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants related to both the existing debt and the additional financing.

The Company has planned several capital projects to be completed during the remainder of 2004 and early 2005. These projects include; the refurbishment of the swimming pools with an estimated cost of $260,000, renovation of the greens on the Palmer golf course with an estimated cost of $450,000, an upgrade to the computer systems with an estimated cost of $190,000 and replacement of the golf cart fleet with an estimated cost of $425,000. Future operating costs and planned expenditures for capital additions and improvements are expected to be adequately funded by the Company’s and its affiliates’ current cash reserves and cash generated by resort operations.

Regarding the Company’s operation of the Rental Pool, the related condominium units’ kitchens, bathrooms and carpeting are currently being renovated and upgraded. This project commenced in 1998 and has been completed for unit Clusters One through Ten with an aggregate billing to the maintenance escrow fund of $6,071,000. The project is currently underway in the Resort’s Lakeside Village units and the Company’s management expects the related billing to the condominium owners’ maintenance escrow fund account to occur in 2004. Additionally, the Company’s management has commenced a project to replace and upgrade unit furniture packages to be completed in mid to late 2004. The aggregate cost to be billed to the condominium owners’ maintenance escrow fund accounts to fund these expenditures is expected to be approximately $7,700,000.

Results of Operations

Second quarter 2004 compared to second quarter 2003

The Company’s total revenues decreased approximately $910,000 or about 9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in the prior year. Total revenues for the Rental Pool decreased approximately $399,000, or 14%, from the same

- 12 -

period in the prior year. These reductions were primarily due to a 15% decrease in the number of paid room nights, along with a 2% decrease in the average daily room rate for the condominium units that participated in the Rental Pool. Paid room nights decreased 20% for the Resort’s group business and 3% for social hotel stays. The Company’s total resort revenues were also affected by decreased sales in its food and beverage and other areas of operations that resulted from a 15% decrease in the number of individual guests that stayed at the Resort for the current quarter when compared to the same period in the prior year.

The above reductions in revenue and occupancy can be attributed to the continued slowdown in the nation’s economy and concerns about national security that have adversely affected travel. Regarding the projection of future revenues, these negative events have created a trend in the booking of resort business where reservations for both group and social guests are now generally occurring closer to their arrival dates instead of several months in advance as in previous years. Although this trend makes it difficult to project future business, the Company’s management believes the occupied room nights for the remainder of the year 2004 will approximate the prior year’s level. Similarly, projections for occupied room nights in the year 2005 and subsequent fiscal periods are expected to remain at the resort’s current volume of business pending an improvement in the nation’s economy and less concern about national security.

The net loss for the second quarter of 2004 was $631,000 compared to a net income for the same period of 2003 of $389,000. This increase in the net loss is a direct result of the lower revenues for the current period when compared with the same period of the prior year.

First six months 2004 compared to first six months 2003

The Company’s total revenues increased approximately $1,403,000 or 6% for the first six months of 2004 compared to the same period in the prior year. Total revenues for the Rental Pool increased approximately $337,000, or 5%, from the same period in the prior year. These increases were primarily due to a 2% increase in the average daily room rate and a 2% increase in the number of paid room nights for the condominium units that participated in the Rental Pool during the six–month period. Paid room nights increased 3% for the Resort’s group business and 5% for social hotel stays. The Company’s total resort revenues also reflected sales in its food and beverage and most other areas of operations that resulted from a 2% decrease in the number of individual guests that stayed at the Resort for the period when compared to the first six months of 2003.

The Company’s operating net income for the current period increased $795,000, which was a 34% increase from the operating net income for the first six months of 2003. This increase was primarily a result of increased revenues. Interest expense decreased approximately 7% as the Company continued to pay down its self-amortizing debt discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources above.

Due to the seasonal business of the Company, the results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s invested cash, including investments escrowed on behalf of the condominium unit owners in the Rental Pool’s Maintenance Escrow Fund, are subject to changes in market interest rates. Consequently, the related yields for these investments continue to have a downward trend. Otherwise, the Company does not have significant market risk with respect to foreign currency exchanges or other market rates.

The Company’s debt is self-amortizing and has a fixed contractual interest rate through September of 2013. Accordingly, fluctuations in related market costs of capital are not expected to affect its financial results.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2004, pursuant to Securites Exchange Act Rule 15d-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2004, in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings.

There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the Company’s management, insurance or indemnification from other third parties adequately covers these matters. Accordingly, the effect, if any, of these claims is considered immaterial to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
