PART I
Item 1. Business
Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on June 20, 1979. It was formed to acquire an existing golf course and tennis club located in Pasco County, Florida, and develop it into a condominium resort and residential homes project named Saddlebrook Resort (the “Resort”). In November 1988, the Company transferred its real estate development division to its prior parent company and retained only its operation of the Resort.
The Company is currently owned by Saddlebrook Holdings, Inc., which is ultimately owned by Thomas L. Dempsey and his family. Mr. Dempsey acquired the Company from its prior parent company in November 1988.
Based on its numerous awards, the Resort has a reputation as a world-class facility that caters to corporate meeting planners and sports enthusiasts at all skill levels. As a destination resort, it offers luxury accommodations, convention facilities, restaurants, two golf courses, tennis courts, a spa and other recreational areas. An accredited preparatory school at the Resort and an on-site real estate sales office are operated by affiliates of the Company.
The Resort’s accommodations are condominium units that have been sold to third parties or to affiliates of the Company. The majority of the condominium units 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 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.
All of the Resort’s condominium units are governed by the Saddlebrook Resort Condominium Association, Inc. (the “Association”) in accordance with Florida statutes. The Board of Directors for the Association is elected by the condominium unit owners. The condominium unit owners also approve an annual budget of common expenses for the Association that determines their quarterly assessments that must be paid regardless of the units’ participation in rental programs.

Table of Contents

A Resort condominium unit’s participation in a rental program also requires a club membership at the Resort with its separate initiation fees and quarterly dues. The club membership is directed by a Board of Governors appointed by the Company’s management.
The Company’s operation of the Resort is not considered to be dependent upon the availability of raw materials, nor the effect of the duration of patents, licenses, franchises or concessions held.
The Resort’s business is considered to be seasonal with a higher volume of sales during the winter and spring seasons.
Although the Resort’s reputation in the conference-hosting industry is excellent, the market for these services is extremely competitive. Consequently, it aggressively competes against numerous resort hotels and convention facilities both in central Florida and nationwide.
At December 31, 2007, there were approximately 753 persons employed by the Company. The Company’s management relationship with employees is excellent and there are no collective bargaining agreements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Company is subject to operating risks common to the hotel industry which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Common hotel industry risks include (but are not limited to);
Reduction in business travel or decrease in demand for transient rooms and related lodging services resulting from a downturn in general economic conditions;
The impact of war and terrorist activity (including threatened terrorist activity) and heightened travel security measures instituted in response thereto;
Financial condition of the airline industry and the resulting impact on air travel.
Severe weather could result in depressed bookings, adversely affecting the Company’s results of operations and reducing proceeds to the participants of the Rental Pool.

Item 2. Properties
Saddlebrook Resort is located in Wesley Chapel, Florida, which is in south central Pasco County, immediately north of Tampa, Florida.
The Resort is inside the gated community of Saddlebrook. The Resort’s property includes approximately 450 acres of land that are owned by the Company and an affiliate. Located on the Resort’s property are convention facilities with over 95,000 square feet of meeting and function space, three restaurants, two 18-hole golf courses, 45 tennis courts, a 7,000-square foot luxury health spa, a 7,500-square foot fitness center, three swimming pools, shops and other operational and recreation areas.
A total of 556 condominium units are at the Resort comprised of one-, two- and three-bedroom suites. Of these condominium units, 408 are designed for hotel occupancy and located in an area called the Walking Village. The remaining 148 are slightly larger, designed for longer-termed rental, and are located in an area called the Lakeside Village. At December 31, 2007, there were 538 hotel accommodations participating in the Rental Pool. The three-bedroom condominium units become hotel accommodations as a two-bedroom suite with a separate adjoining hotel room. Some two-bedroom condominium units become hotel accommodations as a one-bedroom suite with a separate adjoining hotel room.
Item 3. 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. The effect, if any, of these claims is considered immaterial to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
Not applicable.
PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The Company’s stock is privately held and there is no established market for the stock.
The right to participate in a rental pool that accompanies the condominium units that were developed and sold by the Company is deemed to be a security. However, there is no market for such securities other than the normal real estate market.
Since the security is the participation right in a rental pool, no dividends have been paid or will be paid to condominium unit owners. However, the condominium unit owners participating in the Rental Pool receive a contractual distribution of rent from the Company quarterly.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)). The standard changes the accounting for business combinations including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of acquisition related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirer’s income tax valuation allowance. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. Management is currently evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). The standard changes the accounting for noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements including the requirements to classify noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders’ equity, and the elimination of “minority interest” accounting in results of operations with earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests reported as part of consolidated earnings. Additionally, SFAS No. 160 revises the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parent’s controlling ownership interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. Management is currently evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective for the Company’s fiscal 2008 financial statements and is not expected to have a material impact upon adoption.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, describes methods used to appropriately measure fair value, and expands fair value disclosure requirements. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management believes the adoption of SFAS 157 will have no material impact on its financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The following accounting policies are considered critical by the Company’s management. These and other accounting policies require that estimates be made based on assumptions and judgment, that affect revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingencies in the Company’s financial statements. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from these estimates due to different conditions.
Asset Impairments — The Company’s management periodically evaluates whether there has been a permanent impairment of long-lived assets, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) No. 144 — Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company’s management believes that the accounting estimates related to asset impairments are critical estimates for the following reasons: (1) the ongoing changes in management’s expectations regarding future utilization of assets; and (2) the impact of an impairment on reported assets and earnings could be material. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company’s management evaluated assets for impairment in accordance with FAS 144 and concluded that the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows (excluding interest charges) from its assets exceeded their then current carrying values. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize an impairment charge.

Table of Contents

Depreciation Expense — The Company provides for depreciation by the straight-line method at annual rates that amortize the original costs, net of salvage values, of depreciable assets over their estimated useful lives. Management’s estimation of assets’ useful lives are critical estimates for the following reasons: (1) forecasting the salvage value for long-lived assets over a long period of time is subjective; (2) changes may take place that could render an asset obsolete or uneconomical; and (3) a change in the useful life of a long-lived asset could have a material impact on reported results of operations and reported asset values. The Company’s management believes the estimated useful life corresponds to the anticipated physical life for most assets. Although it is difficult to predict values far into the future, the Company has a long history of actual costs and values that are considered in reaching a conclusion as to the appropriate useful life of an asset.
Revenue Recognition — The Company’s revenues are derived from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, hotel operations, food and beverage operations, retail sales, golf course greens fees, and are recognized as products are delivered or services are performed. Revenues from membership initiation fees are recognized over the average life of our memberships.
See the Notes to the Financial Statements for Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. in Item 8 hereof for additional accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During 2007 the Company spent approximately $2,845,000 in capital improvements, the majority of which was toward the renovation of our hotel lobby, including the installation of new marble flooring, and the renovation and redesign of Tropics Restaurant and Lounge (formally known as Cypress Restaurant and Polo Lounge). The Company is also currently participating in a project to redesign the shared entrance to its property, including the installation of a traffic light, widening of the existing entry and exit roads and installation of a new security welcome center. The Company’s share of the expenditures for this joint project is expected to be approximately $370,000. These projects are all substantially complete.
Future operating costs and planned expenditures for minor capital additions and improvements are expected to be adequately funded by the Company’s and its affiliates’ current cash reserves, or cash generated by the Resort’s operations. Also, the Company’s current debt agreement contains a provision for additional financing from the lender of $5,000,000, subject to specific covenants. As of December 31, 2007 the outstanding balance related to this line was $1,750,000.

The Company’s operation of the Resort is not considered to be dependent on any individual or small group of customers, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect.
Results of Operations
The following chart highlights changes in the sources of Company revenues:
                         
    Year ended December 31,
    2007   2006   2005
Rental Pool Revenues
    28 %     27 %     28 %

    100 %     100 %     100 %
 
                       
2007 Compared to 2006
The Company’s total revenues increased $8,000, which is less than a 1% increase over the prior year. Although paid room nights decreased approximately 3%, the average room rate increased by about 5%, resulting in an increase of approximately $255,000, or about 2% in Rental Pool revenues. This amount was mostly offset by decreases in Food and Beverage and other revenues. The decrease in Food and Beverage revenues can be attributed to the closing of one of our restaurants during the period it was being renovated.
The Company’s costs and expenses increased $1,311,000, a 3% increase over the prior year. These increases are mostly related to increases in wages and salaries, along with increased depreciation expense related to the golf course and other facility improvements completed late in 2006. Expenses of the Rental Pool Operation increased $99,000, or about 3%. This increase is directly related to the increase in Rental Pool revenues, along with increases in commissions paid to third party travel agents and increases in credit card merchant fees.
The Company’s net income for the year 2007 of $531,000 is a $1,302,000 decrease from the prior year. The Rental Pool’s increase of $68,000 in amounts available for distribution is a result of the increase in rental pool revenues.

Table of Contents

2006 Compared to 2005
The Company’s total revenues increased $2,934,000, which is an increase of 7% over the prior year. The majority of that increase was experienced by our Food and Beverage division. Total income in that division increased by $1,808,000, or about 13%. This can be attributed to an overall increase of food and beverage pricing, averaging about 20%, which went into effect on January 1, 2006. Rental Pool revenues increased $415,000, or about 3.5%. The increase in Rental Pool revenue was partly due to a 7% increase in average room rate partially offset by a decrease of 3% in paid room nights.
The Company’s costs and expenses increased $2,209,000, a 6% increase over the prior year. This increase is directly related to the increase in revenues. Expenses of the Rental Pool Operation increased $71,000, or about 2%. This increase is directly related to the increase in Rental Pool revenues.
The Company’s net income for the year 2006 of $1,833,000 is a $613,000 increase from the prior year. The Rental Pool’s increase of $169,000 in amounts available for distribution is a result of the increase in rental pool revenues.
The Company is currently a member of a Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary Group. Accordingly, no income tax expense was reflected in the Company’s operating results as the tax is assessed to the shareholders of its parent company. Income tax expense was not reflected in the Company’s Rental Pool financial statements as the related income tax is assessed to its participating condominium unit owners.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any material Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4).

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company’s primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates as a result of its variable interest rate long term debt.
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. Otherwise, the Company does not have significant market risk with respect to foreign currency exchanges or other market rates.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
The financial statements, including the Reports of Independent Registered Certified Public Accountants, for Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. are included on pages 19 to 31 and for Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation on pages 32 to 36. An index to the financial statements is on page 18.
Financial statement schedules have been omitted because they are not applicable or the required information is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d — 15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be reported in the Company’s SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of December 31, 2007, under the direction of our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
In addition, management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control framework and processes are designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and the Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
As of December 31, 2007, management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Table of Contents

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must be considered relative to its cost. Because of the inherent limitation in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within the Company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Riehle, and their children, therefore, it is primarily for the benefit of Mr. Dempsey that the Code has been adopted.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that it does not have an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, serving on the Board of Directors. The Board and Mr. Thomas Dempsey, the Company’s principal shareholder, believe that there is adequate financial expertise on the Board and within the senior management of the Company to serve the interests of the shareholders of Saddlebrook Holdings, Inc., which owns all of the stock of the Company, such shareholders being Mr. Dempsey and trusts for the benefit of his daughters and grandchildren.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholder’s equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006

 
1.   Organization and Business
 
    Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. (the “Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saddlebrook Holdings, Inc. (“SHI” or the “Parent Company”), was incorporated in the State of Florida in June 1979 at which time it purchased a golf course and tennis complex, as well as certain undeveloped land, located in Pasco County, Florida, which was developed as a resort-condominium and residential homes project. Property improvements for the resort include condominiums, most of which were sold to outside parties. The majority of the condominium units sold are provided as hotel accommodations by their owners under a Rental Pool and Agency Appointment Agreement (the “Rental Pool”). Other resort facilities include two 18-hole golf courses, 45 tennis courts, three swimming pools, three restaurants, a convention facility with approximately 95,000 square feet of meeting and function space, a health spa, a fitness center, shops and other facilities necessary for the operation of a resort.
 
2.   Significant Accounting Policies
 
    A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies are as follows:
 
    Use of Estimates
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
 
    Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
    All short-term highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Cash balances with these financial institutions may exceed the amount insured by the FDIC.
 
    Investments
 
    Investments held at December 31, 2007 consist of a Certificate of Deposit yielding interest of 5.07%, which mature in April 2008. Investments held at December 31, 2006 consisted of a U.S. Treasury Securities and a Certificate of Deposit yielding interest between 2.96% and 4.94%, which matured through April 2007. Investments are held to maturity and recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value.
 
    Accounts Receivable
 
    Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from direct billings to companies or individuals who hold conferences or large group stays at the resort. Other receivables include quarterly membership fees and credit card charges. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding specific customers, historical trends and other information. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable, although advance deposits may be required in certain circumstances.

December 31, 2007 and 2006

 
    Resort Inventory and Supplies
 
    Inventory includes operating materials and supplies, principally food and beverage, golf and tennis merchandise, and is accounted for at the lower of first-in, first-out average cost or market.
 
    Property, Buildings and Equipment
 
    Property, buildings and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets on a straight-line basis.
 
    Certain expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When property, buildings and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed, the cost of the assets and related accumulated depreciation amounts are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in operations.
 
    Deferred Charges
 
    In connection with the Company’s debt refinancing during 2004, financing costs in the amount of approximately $84,000 were incurred and deferred. These financing costs are being amortized over five years, the life of the related debt outstanding.
 
    Amortization expense for deferred charges amounted to approximately $16,300 for each of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. Amortization expense will be approximately $16,000 for each of the years ending December 31, 2008 and 2009.
 
    Deferred Income
 
    Deferred income includes deferred liabilities related to the sale of gift certificates, prepaid dues, and deferred income of membership initiation fees. Revenue from gift certificates is recorded when the certificate is redeemed. Revenue from dues is recorded over the annual membership period, and the deferred membership initiation fees are recognized over the historical average life of a membership which approximates 12 years.
 
    Resort Revenues
 
    Resort revenues are recognized as services are performed or products are delivered with the exception of initiation fee revenue, which is recognized over the average life of our memberships. Resort revenues also include rental revenues for condominium units owned by third parties participating in the Rental Pool. If these rental units were owned by the Company, normal costs associated with ownership such as depreciation, real estate taxes, unit maintenance and other costs would have been incurred. Instead, operating costs of resort for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 include rental pool distributions to participants and maintenance escrow fund approximating $4,900,000, $4,800,000 and $4,700,000, respectively.
 
    Income Taxes
 
    The Company is currently a member of a Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary Group. Accordingly, no income tax expense was reflected in the Company’s operating results as the tax is assessed to the shareholders of its parent company.

    Employee Benefit Plan
 
    The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan (the “Plan”), which provides retirement benefits for all eligible employees who have elected to participate. Employees must fulfill a one year service requirement to be eligible. The Company currently matches one-half of the first 2% of an employee’s contribution. Company contributions approximated $48,000, $53,000 and $55,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
    Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
    In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)). The standard changes the accounting for business combinations including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of acquisition related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirer’s income tax valuation allowance. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. Management is currently evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
 
    In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). The standard changes the accounting for noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements including the requirements to classify noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders’ equity, and the elimination of “minority interest” accounting in results of operations with earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests reported as part of consolidated earnings. Additionally, SFAS No. 160 revises the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parent’s controlling ownership interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. Management is currently evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
 
    In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective for the Company’s fiscal 2008 financial statements and is not expected to have a material impact upon adoption.
 
    In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, describes methods used to appropriately measure fair value, and expands fair value disclosure requirements. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 157 will have no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation (funds created for participants who have entered into a rental pool agreement as explained in Note 1) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations and changes in participants’ fund balance for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the rental pool operator’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and the changes in participants’ fund balance for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006
 
1.   Rental Pool Operations and Rental Pool Agreement
 
    Condominium units are provided as rental (hotel) accommodations by their owners under the Rental Pool and Agency Appointment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. (collectively, the “Rental Pool”). Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. (“Saddlebrook”) acts as operator of the Rental Pool which provides for the distribution of a percentage of net rental income, as defined, to the owners.
 
    The Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation consists of two funds: the Rental Pool Income Distribution Fund (“Distribution Fund”) and the Maintenance and Furniture Replacement Escrow Fund (“Maintenance Escrow Fund”). The operations of the Distribution Fund reflect the earnings of the Rental Pool. The Distribution Fund balance sheets reflect amounts due from Saddlebrook for the rental pool distribution payable to participants and amounts due to the Maintenance Escrow Fund. The amounts due from Saddlebrook are required to be distributed no later than forty-five days following the end of each calendar quarter. The Maintenance Escrow Fund reflects the accounting for escrowed assets used to maintain unit interiors and replace furniture as it becomes necessary.
 
    Rental pool participants and Saddlebrook share rental revenues according to the provisions of the Agreement. Net Rental Income shared consists of rentals received less a marketing surcharge of 7.5%, a 12.5% management fee, travel agent commissions, credit card expense and provision for bad debts, if warranted. Saddlebrook receives 45% of Net Rental Income as operator of the Rental Pool. The remaining 55% of Net Rental Income, after adjustments for complimentary room revenues (ten percent of the normal unit rental price paid by Saddlebrook for promotional use of the unit) and certain minor repair and replacement charges, is available for distribution to the participants and maintenance escrow fund based upon each participant’s respective participation factor (computed using the value of a furnished unit and the number of days it was available to the pool). Quarterly, 45% of Net Rental Income is distributed to participants and 10%, as adjusted for complimentary room revenues and minor interior maintenance and replacement charges, is deposited in an escrow account until a maximum of 20% of the set value of the individual owner’s furniture package has been accumulated. Excess escrow balances are refunded to participants.
 
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    Basis of Accounting
 
    The accounting records of the funds are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting.
 
    Income Taxes
 
    No federal or state taxes have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements as the tax effect of fund activities accrues to the rental pool participants and Saddlebrook.
