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.

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.

–2–

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, the Resort aggressively competes against numerous resort hotels and convention facilities both in central Florida and nationwide.

At December 31, 2011, there were approximately 512 persons employed by the Company. The Company’s management relationship with its employees is excellent and there are no collective bargaining agreements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Not applicable.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

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 480 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, 2011, there were 533 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.

–3–

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. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

PART II

Item 5. Market for the Registrant’s Common Equity, 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.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

Not applicable.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

The Company operates the Resort, 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 the Rental Pool. Other resort facilities owned by the Company and its affiliates include golf courses, tennis courts, a spa, restaurants and a conference center.

Recent Accounting and Reporting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on our accounting and reporting. We believe that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on our accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.

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. 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 years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s management evaluated assets for impairment 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.

Depreciation Expense – The Company provides for depreciation using the straight-line method at annual rates that amortize the original costs, net of salvage values, of the 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.

–5–

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 the memberships, which management has estimated to be approximately 12 years.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable based upon factors surrounding specific customers, historical trends and other information.

Loss Contingencies – The Company estimates loss contingencies in accordance with FASB ASC 450-20 Loss Contingencies, which states that a loss contingency shall be accrued by a charge to income if both of the following conditions are met: (a) information available before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued indicates that it is probable that a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (b) the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of our litigation matters will have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. As such, there have been no adjustments for loss contingencies to the accompanying financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.

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.

Impact of Current Economic Conditions

Businesses appear to have altered their spending patterns in response to the current economic conditions, resulting in fewer corporate bookings.

In response to this trend, overall marketing expenses have increased as the Company continues to direct marketing efforts toward the social clientele by developing packages designed to target more social guests, including families. These social packages are being promoted through the Company’s website as well as through travel wholesalers and with emphasis on e-commerce sites.

As a result of the continuing economic recession, the hospitality industry has suffered significant declines in terms of hotel rates and occupancy since the year 2009. These negative industry trends have similarly impacted the Company’s revenues during this period, which contributed to the Company’s approximate $3,244,000 net loss in 2011 and approximate $2,964,000 net loss in 2010.

In response to this situation, management has implemented the following programs and measures to help the Company mitigate these unfavorable conditions.

1. Management has continued their focus on controlling the variable costs for the Company. This includes reducing labor costs and sales and marketing expenses.

–6–

2. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company has experienced increased resort revenues primarily due to increased group bookings and the related activity compared to the same period in 2011. During 2011, the Company invested significantly in the grounds and building exteriors to increase the attractiveness for potential group and social customers when visiting the Resort and planning for conferences, meetings or social events such as weddings. As a result of this investment, the Company has experienced and continues to expect increased group bookings for the remainder of 2012 and 2013 that have not been experienced during the prior years. These increased bookings are expected to positively impact the Company’s results of operations during 2012 including the summer months which is typically the slower time of the year.

3. The Company is beginning the second year of its association with 2 top golf teaching professionals which has significantly increased the brand awareness and recognition of the Company’s Golf Academy by industry leaders. As stated above, the Company has significantly invested in the Resort’s grounds specifically upgraded golf training facilities. These investments have resulted in increased students attending the Golf Academy during 2012 and 2013 including attendance by foreign students during the summer months.

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 and its affiliates’ current cash reserves, or cash generated by the Resort’s operations.

The Company’s shareholder has the financial ability and intent to continue to fund operations through affiliated companies that are 100% owned by the Company’s shareholder to the extent required to support the Company’s operations. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company received approximately $5.3 million from these affiliated Companies including $2 million to pay down the Company’s long-term debt. In addition to the Company’s shareholder financial ability, these affiliated companies are expected to continue to generate positive cash flows during fiscal 2012 should additional funding be required to support the Company’s operations.

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 on the Company’s business or financial condition.

Results of Operations

The following chart highlights changes in the sources of Company revenues:


	Year ended December 31,
	2011			2010			2009
Rental Pool Revenues		26	%		26	%		26	%
Food and beverage		31			33			31
Resort facilities and other		43			41			43


		100	%		100	%		100	%

2011 Compared to 2010

The Company’s total revenue decreased $3,009,000, or approximately 11%, from the prior year. Rental Pool revenue decreased $869,000, or approximately 12%, from the prior year. These decreases are directly related to the reduction in occupied room nights of about 15% from the prior year, although somewhat offset by a 5% increase in the average room rate when comparing the two periods.

The Company’s costs and expenses decreased by $2,658,000, or about 9%. This decrease is related to the decrease in occupancy. Costs and expenses of the Rental Pool Operation decreased by $245,000 and this decrease directly relates to the reduction in Rental Pool revenues.

The Company’s net loss increased by $280,000. Amounts available for distribution to participants decreased by $297,000.

2010 Compared to 2009

The Company’s total revenue increased $34,000, which is less than 1%, from the prior year. Rental Pool revenue decreased $135,000, or approximately 2% from the prior year. Although occupied room nights were up about 17% over the prior year, the average room rate was reduced by 12%. Additionally, 2009 Rental Pool revenue was positively impacted by the collection of cancellation penalties paid by groups who had booked prior to the economic changes that occurred during late 2008, and later opted to cancel their arrangements. 2010 Cancellation penalty revenue was decreased by 88% over the prior year. Food and Beverage revenue benefited from a 10% increase in the total number of guests on property which resulted in an approximately 7% increase compared to 2009.

The Company’s costs and expenses increased by $1,831,000, or about 7%. This increase is related to the increase in occupancy and number of guests, which resulted in increased payroll and repair and maintenance costs. The increase is also impacted by the net gain recorded in 2009 on the sale of assets of approximately $404,000 discussed in Note 5 of the accompanying financial statements. Costs and expenses of the Rental Pool Operation decreased by $25,000 and this decrease is directly related to the reduction in Rental Pool revenues.

The Company’s net loss increased by $1,950,000. Amounts available for distribution to participants decreased by $105,000.

–8–

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).

The Company’s invested cash is 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

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

–9–

Item 9A. 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, 2011, 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 generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States.

As of December 31, 2011, management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, 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 rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

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 errors 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 changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Code of Ethics

The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that covers the Company’s principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and controller, as well as its Executive Committee. The Board did not provide for the Code to cover the Company’s principal executive officer, Mr. Thomas Dempsey, as Mr. Dempsey is the controlling shareholder of Saddlebrook Holdings, Inc., which owns all of the stock in the Company. All of the capital stock of Saddlebrook Holdings, Inc. is owned by Mr. Dempsey and trusts for the benefit of his two daughters, Maureen Dempsey and Diane L. Riehle, and their children, therefore, it is primarily for the benefit of Mr. Dempsey that the Code has been adopted.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholder of

Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc.

Wesley Chapel, Florida

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011. 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 audits 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 the Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2011 and 2010

1.	Organization and Business

Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. (the “Company” or “SRI”), 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 (“GAAP”) 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 and Escrowed Cash

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 and cash equivalents with financial institutions in the United States. On November 9, 2010, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) issued a Final Rule implementing section 343 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that provides for unlimited insurance coverage of noninterest-bearing transaction accounts. Beginning December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012, all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are fully insured, regardless of the balance of the account, at all FDIC-insured institutions. The unlimited insurance coverage is available to all depositors, including consumers, businesses, and government entities. This unlimited coverage is separate from, and in addition to, the $250,000 insurance coverage provided to a depositor’s other deposit accounts held at an FDIC-insured institution. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $300,000 of cash and cash equivalents which exceeded these limits.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. GAAP describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2011 and 2010

Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

There were no assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis on December 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

The fair value of all of the Company’s other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature or market rates of interest associated with long-term obligations.

Accounts Receivable

Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable are 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.

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.

Asset Impairments

The Company’s management periodically evaluates whether there has been a permanent impairment of long-lived assets, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s management evaluated assets for impairment 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.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2011 and 2010

Deferred Charges

Deferred charges represents costs incurred in connection with the refinancing of the Company’s long-term debt. Amortization expense for deferred charges amounted to approximately $11,000, $11,000 and $44,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Deferred charges are expected to be amortized approximately $11,000 per year in 2012 and 2013 and approximately $3,000 in 2014.

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 the 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 the resort for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 include rental pool distributions to participants and the maintenance escrow fund approximating $2,400,000, $2,700,000 and $2,800,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company is currently a Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary. 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.

Management has determined that the Company had no uncertain income tax positions that could have a significant effect on the financial statements at December 31, 2011 and 2010. The parent company’s federal income tax returns for 2008, 2009 and 2010 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally for a period of three years after the federal income tax returns were filed.

3.	Management’s Plans Regarding Liquidity and Capital Resources

As a result of the continuing economic recession, the hospitality industry has suffered significant declines in terms of hotel rates and occupancy during 2011, 2010 and 2009.

In response to this situation, management has implemented the following programs and measures to help the Company mitigate these unfavorable conditions:

1. Management has continued their focus on controlling the variable costs for the Company. This includes reducing labor costs and sales and marketing expenses.

Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2011 and 2010

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
