The Company’s accompanying balance sheet for September 30, 2015, and its statements of operations and accumulated earnings and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, are unaudited but reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.

Note 5. Long-term debt and Capital Lease Obligation

On June 6, 2014 the Company entered into a new financing agreement with a third party lender for $5,000,000. The proceeds were used to retire the existing term note due June 12, 2014 of $4,386,000. The remaining proceeds were used to pay closing costs and provide additional working capital. The new term note expires June 1, 2019. Interest only payments at a rate of 3% over the one month Libor index (3.20% at September 30, 2015) are required for the first twelve months. After year one, the term note requires monthly principal payments of $20,833 plus interest of 3% over the one month Libor index. The term note is collateralized by all current and subsequently acquired real and personal property. The new term note requires the Company to maintain a Debt Coverage Ratio of 1.25 on a rolling twelve month basis measured quarterly. The Company was in default of this covenant as of December 31, 2014; however, the Company received a waiver for this default from its lender and on May 1, 2015, the lender modified the covenant so that the Debt Ratio will only be measured on an annual basis as of December 31 each year. At September 30, 2015, the outstanding balance on this term note was $4,937,500.

On December 13, 2012, the Company entered into a capital lease obligation for equipment in the amount of $80,479. The capital lease is secured by the equipment purchased, matures in November 2017 and requires monthly payments of $1,426, including interest at 2.44%. At September 30, 2015, the amount due on the capital lease obligation was $36,077.

On December 2, 2012, the Company entered into a capital lease obligation for equipment in the amount of $255,874. The assets associated with this lease cost $294,724, of which $38,850 was reduced through the Company’s trade-in of existing equipment. This capital lease is secured by the equipment purchased, matures in December 2017 and requires monthly payments of $4,995, including interest at 6.41%. At September 30, 2015, the amount due on the capital lease obligation was $125,293.

On January 15, 2014 the Company entered into a capital lease obligation for equipment in the amount of $150,000. The capital lease is secured by equipment purchased, matures in December 2018 and requires monthly payments of $3,024 including interest at 7.75%. At September 30, 2015, the amount due on the capital lease obligation was $101,595.

On January 15, 2014, the Company entered into a capital lease obligation for equipment in the amount of $102,000. The capital lease is secured by equipment purchased, matures in December 2018 and requires monthly payments of $2,233, including interest at 11.30%. At September 30, 2015 the amount due on the capital lease obligation was $72,609.

Note 6. Related Party Receivables and Payables

Related party receivables and payables at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 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.

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.

Note 8. Insurance Proceeds

On November 2, 2013, the Company experienced damage to storage facilities and equipment due to a fire. As of September 30, 2015, the Company has incurred approximately $767,667 toward the repair of the facility and replacement of equipment. The Company filed an insurance claim and received $1,304,618 toward the settlement of the insurance claim of which $300,000 was received in 2013, $650,000 was received in 2014 (recorded as other receivable at December 31, 2013) and $354,618 was received in 2015 and has been reflected as an offset to general and administrative expenses. The Company estimates that all of the costs related to this event will be reimbursed by insurance. However, actual amounts reimbursed could differ from this estimate.

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

Third quarter 2015 compared to third quarter 2014

The Company’s total revenues decreased approximately $64,000, or about 2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in the prior year. Total revenues for the Rental Pool decreased approximately $53,000, or about 7%.

Total costs and expenses increased approximately $34,000, or about 1%, for the Company, and decreased $28,000, or about 13%, for the Rental Pool Operation.

The Company experienced a net loss for the quarter in the amount of approximately $2,308,000, compared to the net loss of the prior comparable quarter of approximately $2,203,000. Amounts available for distribution for the Rental Pool Operation decreased approximately $23,000, or about 10%, from the comparable period last year.

First nine months 2015 compared to first nine months 2014

The Company’s total revenues increased approximately $3,548,000, about 17%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in the prior year. The total revenues for the Rental Pool increased approximately $1,006,000, or about 17%.

Total costs and expenses for the Company increased approximately $973,000 or 4%. Total costs and expenses for the Rental Pool Operation increased by about $234,000, about 14%.

The Company experienced a net income for the period of approximately $843,000, compared with a net loss of approximately $1,684,000 in the comparable period last year. Amounts available for distribution for the Rental Pool Operation increased approximately $403,000 over the same period in the prior year.

Impact of Current Economic Conditions

The Company continues to experience increased occupancy rates, when compared to prior periods. Ancillary service revenue is now beginning to show increases when compared to the prior periods as well. The Company believes that businesses have begun to alter their spending patterns and that this is a result of a turnaround in the economy.

In response to this trend, the Company has increased its sales force to focus more in the area of corporate meetings. The Company continues 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 to help the Company 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 of the Resort.

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. On June 6, 2014 the Company entered into a new financing agreement with a third party lender for $5,000,000. The proceeds were used to retire the existing term note due June 12, 2014 of $4,386,000. The remaining proceeds were used to pay closing costs and provide additional working capital. The new term note expires June 1, 2019. Interest only payments at a rate of 3% over the one month Libor index (3.20% at September 30, 2015) are required for the first twelve months. After year one, the term note requires monthly principal payments of $20,833 plus interest of 3% over the one month Libor index. The term note is collateralized by all current and subsequently acquired real and personal property. The new term note requires the Company to maintain a Debt Coverage Ratio of 1.25 on a rolling twelve month basis measured quarterly. The Company was in default of this covenant as of December 31, 2014; however, the Company received a waiver for this default from its lender and on May 1, 2015, the lender modified the covenant so that the Debt Ratio will only be measured on an annual basis as of December 31 each year. At September 30, 2015, the outstanding balance on this term note was $4,937,500.

The Company’s ultimate shareholder has the financial ability and intent to continue to fund operations through affiliated companies that are 100% owned by the Company’s ultimate shareholder to the extent required to support the Company’s operations. During 2014, the Company received approximately $2.4 million in loans from these affiliated Companies which was an increase over the amount of loans the Company received from these affiliated entities by approximately $1 million in 2013. In addition to the shareholder’s financial ability, these affiliated companies are expected to continue to generate positive cash flows during fiscal 2015 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.

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

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.

The Company’s term note bears interest at 3.0% over the one month LIBOR index and matures in June 2019.

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 September 30, 2015, 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 September 30, 2015 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 three months ended September 30, 2015 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.
