NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. (the “Company”) developed and operates Saddlebrook Resort, which is a condominium hotel and resort located in Wesley Chapel, Florida.

The Company’s accompanying balance sheet for September 30, 2019, and its statements of operations and accumulated earnings and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.

The Company’s business is seasonal. Therefore, the results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for future interim periods or the full fiscal year.

These financial statements and related notes are presented for interim periods in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and, consequently, do not include all disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Accordingly, these financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases,” which created a new Topic 842 within the Accounting Standards Codification. Topic 842 established the core principle that a lessee should recognize the assets, representing rights-of-use, and liabilities to make lease payments, that arise from leases.

The Company adopted the standard using an optional transition method allowed with the issuance of ASU 2018-11, “Leases – Targeted Improvements (Topic 842),” in July 2018. ASU 2018-11 provides entities the option to not provide comparative period financial statements and instead apply the transition requirements as of the effective date of the new standard. Pursuant to additional guidance under Topic842, the Company also elected the optional package of practical expedients, which allowed the Company to not reassess: (i) whether expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. As a result, the consolidated balance sheet prior to January 1, 2019 was not restated, continues to be reported under ASC 840, “Leases”, which did not require the recognition of operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, and is not comparative. Under Topic 842, all leases are required to be recorded on the balance sheet and are classified as either operating leases or finance leases, which is determined at the inception of the lease. The Company also elected under the package of practical expedients, to combine lease and non-lease components.

Under the new standard, the Company’s lease liability is based on the present value of such payments and the related right-of-use asset will generally be based on the lease liability.

See Note 4 for additional information regarding operating leases.

Note 2. Revenue

Revenue Recognition

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.

Contract Balances

Timing differences among revenue recognition may result in contract assets or liabilities. Contract liabilities totaled approximately $2,229,000 and $3,845,000 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Our net trade accounts receivables were approximately $1,051,000 and $1,319,000 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Trade accounts receivable are stated in the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to the allowance of doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance of doubtful accounts and a credit to trade accounts receivable. Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts have not been material to the consolidated financial statements.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under the new revenue recognition standard. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of our revenue transactional and the contracts performance obligation is generally satisfied at the time of the transaction.

Note 6. Notes Payable and Finance Lease Liabilities

On December 6, 2015 the Company’s financing agreement with a third party lender was modified to include renewal for the existing principal balance of $4,875,000, along with an advance of an additional $2,000,000. The new term note expires December 6, 2020. At September 30, 2019, $5,552,885 was outstanding under the note. The term note requires monthly principal payments of $29,380 plus interest of 3% over the one month Libor index (5.04% at September 30, 2019). The term note is collateralized by all current and subsequently acquired real and personal property. The term note requires the Company to maintain a Debt Service Ratio, as defined, of 1.25%. The Company was in default of this covenant as of December 31, 2018; however, the Company received a waiver for this default from its lender. The debt service covenant will be re-measured at December 31, 2019. Management believes, based on its expectations, that the Company will be in compliance with the debt service covenant at that date; however, there can be no assurances that it will be in compliance. Should the Company not be in compliance at December 31, 2019, it will seek a waiver or modification of the covenant. In addition, under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company has certain remedies available to it by which it can cure the default, and it is management’s intent to do so if necessary.

On April 24, 2017, the Company entered in to a revolving line of credit agreement with the same third party lender with maximum borrowings of $1,500,000 to be used as working capital as needed. The agreement is cross collateralized with the existing term note under the same terms and conditions. Amounts borrowed under the revolving line of credit will bear interest at 3% over the one month LIBOR index. (5.04% at September 30, 2019). The line of credit will terminate on December 6, 2020. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $1,500,000 in outstanding borrowings on this agreement.

On March 1, 2018, the Company entered into a finance lease liability for equipment in the amount of $332,206. The assets associated with this lease cost $461,506, of which $129,300 was reduced through the Company’s trade-in of existing equipment. This finance lease is secured by the equipment purchased, matures in February 2023 and requires monthly payments of $6,500, including interest at 6.5%. At September 30, 2019, the amount due on this finance lease liability was $238,405.

On April 1, 2018, the Company entered into a finance lease liability for equipment in the amount of $156,942. The assets associated with this lease cost $178,942, of which $22,000 was reduced through the Company’s trade-in of existing equipment. This finance lease is secured by the equipment purchased, matures in March 2023 and requires monthly payments of $3,071, including interest at 6.5%. At September 30, 2019, the amount due on this finance lease liability was $115,076.

- 9 -

Note 6. Related Party Receivables and Payables

Related party receivables and payables at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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 the Company’s parent company.

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.

Other resort property owned by the Company and its affiliates include golf courses, tennis courts, a spa, restaurants and conference center facilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net loss for the 9 months ended September 30, 2019 was $1,315,097. Excluding non-cash expenses such as Depreciation and Amortization of $1,547,053 the company’s actual operating cash was $2,862,150.

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 and cash generated by the Resort’s operations.

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. The Company has loans outstanding to the affiliated companies of approximately $15.2 million and $14.7 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. In addition to the shareholders’ financial ability, these affiliated Companies are expected to continue to generate positive cash flows during fiscal year 2019 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 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, 2019, 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, 2019 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, 2019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
