The Company’s accompanying balance sheet for March 31, 2009, and its statements of operations and accumulated earnings and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, 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.

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.

Note 5. Notes Payable and Capital Lease Obligation

On March 12, 2009 the Company refinanced $10,600,000 (the remaining principle balance of the term note along with the outstanding balance of the additional line of credit financing). The new term note is due March 12, 2014, and requires monthly principal payments of $88,333, plus monthly payments of all accrued interest. The term note bears interest at 2.5% over the one month LIBOR index. The rate as of March 31, 2009 was 3.06%. The note is collateralized by all current and subsequently acquired real and personal property. At March 31, 2009, the outstanding balance on this term note was $10,600,000.

The Company has the ability to obtain an additional $2,500,000 under a line of credit facility from the same lender, with the same rate of interest, subject to meeting certain financial covenants on an annual basis. The line of credit expires in March 2011. At March 31, 2009, the Company has no borrowings on the line of credit.

On February 11, 2009, the Company entered into a capital lease for the purchase of vehicles in the amount of $370,542. The capital lease is secured by the vehicles purchased, matures in January 2013 and requires monthly payments of $8,574, including interest at 5.24%.

Note 6. Related Party Receivables and Payables

Related party receivables and payables at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are the result of net intercompany transactions and cash transfers between the Company and its shareholder and affiliated companies. Related party receivables and payables are unsecured and non-interest bearing. Approximately $2 million of the total $3.5 million due from related parties is expected to be repaid/collected within 1 year and therefore has been classified as a current asset in the accompanying balance sheets.

Note 7. 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.

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 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.

Impact of Current Economic Conditions

The Company believes that the reduced occupancy rates are due to the current state of the United States’ economy, and the fact that businesses appear to have altered their spending patterns in response. This has resulted in fewer group (corporate) bookings.

In response to this trend, the Company is increasing its marketing efforts toward the social clientele by developing packages designed to target more social guests, including families. These social packages will be promoted through the Company’s website as well as through travel wholesalers and with emphasis on e-commerce sites.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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 and cash generated by resort operations. The Company’s current debt agreement also allows for the Company to borrow an additional $2,500,000, provided the Company is in compliance with certain financial covenants. The Company’s financing from a third-party lender bears interest at 2.5% over the one month LIBOR index (3.06% at March 31, 2009) and matures in March 2014.

Results of Operations

First quarter 2009 compared to first quarter 2008

The Company’s total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased approximately $10,472,000, about 52%, from the first quarter of the prior year. Rental Pool revenues decreased $3,677,000, or about 53% from the comparable period last year. The current state of the United States economy has had a negative impact on the Company’s occupancy rates. The Company is experiencing fewer group (corporate) bookings. This has resulted in not only reduced Rental Pool revenues, but also reductions in revenue in other areas of the resort. The number of guests on property decreased about 47% when compared with the first quarter of 2008. Due to the seasonality of the business the results of operations for the interim period shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the remaining interim periods in this fiscal year.

The decrease of $6,639,000 in operating costs and expenses for the Company is consistent with the decreases in revenues. The $1,009,000 decrease in operating costs and expenses for the Rental Pool Operation is directly related to the decreases in revenues.

Net Income for the Company decreased $3,743,000 from the comparable period last year. Amounts available for distribution for the Rental Pool Operation decreased $1,454,000 from the first quarter of 2008.

Seasonality

The Company’s operations are seasonal with the highest volume of revenue generally occurring in the first quarter of each calendar year.

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. Otherwise, the Company does not have significant market risk with respect to foreign currency exchanges or other market rates.

The Company’s term note bears interest at 2.5% over the one month LIBOR index and matures on March 12, 2014.

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 March 31, 2009, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 15d-15. 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 March 31, 2009 in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings.

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures over internal controls 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 their costs. 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.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 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.
