NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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 March 31, 2020, and its statements of operations and accumulated earnings and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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, 2019 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, 2019.

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 consists of guest deposits and deferred income and totaled approximately $1,944,000 and $2,807,000 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Contract assets consist of escrowed cash relating to rental pool owner deposits for the maintenance reserve fund and long-term security deposits and totaled approximately $976,000 and $1,124,000 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Company’s net trade accounts receivables were $1,286,000 and $1,130,000 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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.

The Company experienced a significant decrease in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the previous year. Towards the end of December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) emerged globally. The COVID-19 outbreak in the United States has resulted in a reduction of hotel occupancy and cancellations of future reservations. It is difficult to estimate the length or severity of this outbreak; however, a significant reduction in occupancy caused by COVID-19 is expected to affect the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

In April 2020, the Company received approximately $2,949,000 of proceeds from a note payable funded under the Payroll Protection Program as part of the CARES Act. The note bears interest at 1% per annum, matures in April 2022, and requires monthly interest and principal payments of $165,529 beginning in November 2020 and through maturity. The currently issued guidelines of the program allow for the loan proceeds to be forgiven if certain requirements are met. If the Company is unable to or does not follow those guidelines, the Company would be required to repay a portion of or the entire balance of the loan proceeds in full.

The current economic conditions, expected effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position, and uncertainty of the length or severity of the outbreak raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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 $0.4 million as of March 31, 2020. In addition to the shareholders’ financial ability, these affiliated Companies are expected to continue to generate positive cash flows during fiscal year 2020 should additional funding be required to support the Company’s operations.

The Company leases certain equipment under non-cancellable operating leases, which begin to expire in 2021. The leases are classified as operating leases in conformity with the provisions of Topic 842. Accordingly, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and related operating lease liability totaling approximately $217,000 upon adoption of Topic 842 as of January 1, 2019. Aggregated information regarding the leases as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is as follows:

The Company’s property, buildings and equipment are pledged as security for its debt (see Note 7).

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 March 31, 2020, $5,376,603 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 (3.92% at March 31, 2020). 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, 2019; however, the Company received a waiver for this default from its lender. The Company is currently discussing refinancing of its current mortgage.

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 (3.92% at March 31, 2020). The line of credit will terminate on December 6, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, 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 March 31, 2020, the amount due on this finance lease liability was $206,727.

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.

At March 31, 2020, the amount due on this finance lease liability was $100,192.

Related party receivables and payables at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 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.

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.

SADDLEBROOK RENTAL POOL OPERATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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.

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.

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.

Results of Operations

Amounts available for distribution for the Rental Pool Operation decreased approximately $657,000 from the comparable period last year.

Impact of Current Economic Conditions

The Company experienced a significant decrease in revenue for the period ending March 31, 2020 compared to the previous year.

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.

Toward the end of December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) emerged globally. The COVID-19 outbreak in the United States has resulted in a reduction of hotel occupancy and cancellations of future reservations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net loss for the 3 months ended March 31, 2020 was $82,728. Excluding non-cash expenses such as Depreciation and Amortization of $498,027 the company’s actual operating cash was $415,299.

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.

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 March 31, 2020, $5,376,603 was outstanding under the note.

In April 2020, the Company received approximately $2,949,000 of proceeds from a note payable funded under the Payroll Protection Program as part of the CARES Act.

The currently issued guidelines of the program allow for the loan proceeds to be forgiven if certain requirements are met. If the Company is unable to or does not follow those guidelines, the Company would be required to repay a portion of or the entire balance of the loan proceeds in full.

The current economic conditions, expected effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position, and uncertainty of the length or severity of the outbreak raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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 $0.4 million as of March 31, 2020. In addition to the shareholders’ financial ability, these affiliated Companies are expected to continue to generate positive cash flows during fiscal year 2020 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.

- 16 -

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.

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 and its line of credit bear interest at 3.0% over the one month LIBOR index and mature in December 2020.

- 17 -

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, 2020, 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, 2020 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 March 31, 2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

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.
