SADDLEBROOK RENTAL POOL OPERATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 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 expenses 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 maintenance 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.

Note 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.

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 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.

Results of Operations

First quarter 2014 compared to first quarter 2013

The Company’s total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $288,164, about 3%, from the same period in the prior year. Rental Pool revenues increased $321,971, or about 11% from the comparable period last year. Paid room nights increased by 7% for the Resort. The average rate per paid room night increased $10.58, or about 6% from the comparable period last year. The Company’s total resort revenues were affected by increased sales in its food and beverage and other areas of operations.

The increase of $869,603 in operating costs and expenses for the Company is due in large part to an effort to increase the sales staff, as well as enhance the Company’s website. The $121,390 increase in operating costs and expenses for the Rental Pool Operation is directly related to the increases in revenues.

Net income for the Company decreased $551,649 from the comparable period last year. Amounts available for distribution for the Rental Pool Operation increased $43,598 from the first quarter of 2013.

Impact of Current Economic Conditions

The first quarter of 2014 did show an improvement in group bookings however; the Company believes that reduced occupancy rates will continue as a result of the current state of the United States’ economy, and the fact that businesses have altered their spending patterns in response.

In response to this trend, the Company has increased its 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. Management has implemented programs and measures in an effort to get back to positive operating income. These programs and measures include cost control programs, consolidation of restaurant operations and efforts to increase brand awareness and recognition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net income for the period ended March 31, 2014 was $1,039,195. Excluding non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization of $472,425, the Company’s actual operating profits were $1,511,620.

The Company’s term note from a third party lender bears interest at 2.5% over the one month Libor index (2.65% at March 31, 2014) and matures in June 2014. The Company is currently in negotiations with several third party lenders to refinance the existing term note. The Company’s ultimate shareholder has the financial ability and intent to satisfy the current term note due June 12, 2014, should the Company be delayed in securing replacement financing.

The Company’s ultimate shareholder has the financial ability and intent to continue to fund operations through affiliated companies that as 100% owned by the Company’s ultimate shareholder to the extent required to support the Company’s operations. During 2014, the Company received approximately $900,000 in loans from these affiliated companies. In addition to the shareholder’s financial ability, these affiliated companies are expected to continue to generate positive cash flows during fiscal 2014 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.

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.

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 period 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

Not applicable.

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, 2014, 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, 2014 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, 2014 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 from time to time 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.
