Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

The following report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are statements that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. All of our projections in this annual report are forward-looking statements. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words “appears,” “believe,” “expect,” “hope,” “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “assume” or other similar expressions. Certain factors that might cause such a difference include the following: changes in general economic conditions; including changes that may influence group conference and guests’ vacation plans; changes in travel patterns; changes in consumer tastes in destinations or accommodations for group conferences and vacations; changes in Rental Pool participation by the current condominium owners; our ability to continue to operate the Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club, or the “Resort” under our management contracts; and the resale of condominiums to owners who elect neither to participate in the Rental Pool nor to become members of the Resort. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to known (and unknown) risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our forward-looking statements are based on the limited information currently available to us and speak only as of the date on which this report was filed with the Securities Exchange Commission. Our continued internet posting or subsequent distribution of this dated report does not imply continued affirmation of the forward-looking statements included in it. We undertake no obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to issue any updates to our forward-looking statements, even if subsequent events cause our expectations to change regarding the matters discussed in those statements. Future events are inherently uncertain. Moreover, it is particularly difficult to predict business activity levels at the Resort with any certainty. Accordingly, our projections in this annual report are subject to particularly high uncertainty. Our projections should not be regarded as legal promises, representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever. Over time, our actual results, performance or achievements will likely differ from the anticipated results, performance or achievements that are expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, and such differences might be significant and harmful to your interests.

SALAMANDER INNISBROOK, LLC

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2014
(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of business

 

Salamander Innisbrook, LLC (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), together with our affiliates, Salamander Innisbrook Securities, LLC, and Salamander Innisbrook Condominium, LLC owns and operates the Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club (the “Resort”).

 

The Company controls and operates the Rental Pool Lease Operation (the “Rental Pool”); a securitized pool of condominiums owned by participating condominium owners (the “Participating Owners”) and rented as hotel rooms to guests of the Resort (an average of 425 units or 528 hotel rooms participate at any given time). Pursuant to the new Innisbrook Rental Pool Master Lease Agreement, dated January 1, 2014 (the “Master Lease” or “MLA”), the Company is obligated to make quarterly distributions of a percentage of room revenues. Other resort facilities include four 18-hole golf courses, four restaurants, three convention facilities, a health spa, fitness center, tennis and recreation facilities, themed water park and five swimming pools.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying interim condensed financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and  the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Consequently, they do not include all disclosures normally provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Accordingly, these condensed 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, 2013. 

 

In the opinion of management, the condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  

 

As a destination golf resort, open year round, the Resort’s performance is sensitive to weather conditions and seasonality as well as general trends in the economy, with economic downturns adversely affecting our operating results. Our operations are seasonal with the highest volume of revenue generated in the first two quarters of each calendar year. Due to the seasonal business of the Company, the results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

 

Note 2. Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable consist of the following as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

 

   March 31, 2014   December 31, 2013 
         
Trade accounts receivable  $3,228,773   $1,718,605 
Other receivables   94,161    158,680 
Less allowance for bad debts   (65,563)   (63,641)
   $3,257,371   $1,813,644 

 

7
 

 

Note 3. Property, Buildings and Equipment

 

Property, buildings and equipment consist of the following as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

 

   March 31, 2014   December 31, 2013 
         
Land and land improvements  $16,911,879   $16,911,879 
Buildings   25,306,395    25,306,395 
Furniture, fixtures and equipment   8,454,852    8,454,852 
Contruction in progress   154,673    - 
    50,827,799    50,673,126 
Less accumulated depreciation   (13,981,418)   (13,450,538)
   $36,846,381   $37,222,588 

 

Note 4. Long-term Obligations

 

Leases - Leases, which transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of property, are classified as capital leases. Assets and liabilities are recorded at amounts equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term. Interest expense relating to the lease liabilities is recorded to affect constant rates of interest over the terms of the leases.

 

Leases, which do not transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of property, are classified as operating leases, and the related rentals are charged to expense as incurred.

  

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Contingencies

 

In the normal course of our operations, we are subject to claims and lawsuits. Our former insurance carrier has requested reimbursement of monies from us that they paid in 2010 to settle certain claims asserted against us. We believe the request for reimbursement has no basis and, through our legal counsel, have denied the insurance carrier’s request for reimbursement and we intend to fully defend our position. The parties have agreed to non-binding mediation and a date has been set, May 22, 2014. The outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time. We do not believe this matter will have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations, and accordingly, there have been no adjustments to the accompanying condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2014 for the effects of this matter.

 

Note 6. Related Party Transactions

 

We paid management fees to an affiliate of $380,675 and $419,255 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These fees are included in general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Statements of Operations.

 

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, amounts due to/(from) affiliates were $(2,715) and $269,129, respectively, which balances are non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.

 

The Innisbrook Rental Pool Lease Operation paid us $84,673 and $83,183 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively as reimbursement for maintenance and housekeeping labor, use of the telephone lines and other supplies. These reimbursements are included in general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Statements of Operations.

RENTAL POOL LEASE OPERATION

 

The operation of the Rental Pool is tied closely to the Resort’s operations. The Rental Pool Master Lease Agreement provides for a quarterly distribution of a percentage of the Company’s room revenues to participating condominium owners (“Participants”), as defined in the agreement (see Note 1 of the Rental Pool Lease Operation financial statements). Because the Rental Pool participants share in a percentage of the room revenues, the condominium units allowing Rental Pool participation are deemed to be securities. However, there is no market for such securities other than the normal real estate market. Since the security is real estate, no dividends have been paid or will be paid.

 

The Company is a single-member limited liability company, wholly owned by Salamander Farms, LLC. There is no established market for the Member’s interest.

INNISBROOK RENTAL POOL LEASE OPERATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

1. Rental Pool Lease Operation

 

Organization and Operations

 

Salamander Innisbrook, LLC (the “Company”) follows accounting policies that require estimates that are based on assumptions and judgments, which affect revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingencies in our financial statements. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from these estimates due to different conditions.

 

The Rental Pool is highly dependent upon the operations of the Resort, and likewise, the Resort is also dependent upon the continued participation of condominium owners in the Rental Pool. Additionally, the Rental Pool and Resort are both impacted by the general economic conditions related to the destination resort industry.

 

The Rental Pool consists of condominiums at the Resort which are leased by the Company from their owners and used as hotel accommodations for the Resort. The Master Lease Agreement (“MLA”) provides that on an annual basis each Participant may elect to participate in the Rental Pool for the following year by signing an Annual Lease Agreement (“ALA”). Any condominium unit owner who does not sign the ALA is not permitted to participate in the Rental Pool for the following year. Under the MLA, the Resort pays the participant a quarterly distribution equal to 40% of the Adjusted Gross Revenues on the first $10 million of Adjusted Gross Revenues; 45% between $10 million and $11 million to the Lessee and 50% above $11 million. Adjusted Gross Revenues are defined as Gross Revenues less agent’s commissions, audit fees, occupancy fees when the unit is used for Rental Pool Comps or as a model, linen replacements and credit card fees. Each participant receives a fixed occupancy fee, based upon apartment size, for each day the unit is occupied. After allocation of occupancy fees and the payment of general Rental Pool expenses, the balance is allocated proportionally to the Participants, based on the Participation Factor as defined in the Agreement. Additionally, occupancy fees are paid by the Resort to Participants as rental fees for complimentary rooms unrelated to the Rental Pool operations. Associate room fees are also paid by the Resort to Participants for total room revenues earned from the rental of condominiums by Company employees.

 

The Lessors’ Advisory Committee (“LAC”) consists of nine Participants who are elected by the Participants to advise the Company of Rental Pool Matters and to negotiate amendments to the ALA and MLA.

 

The Rental Pool consists of the Distribution Fund and the Maintenance Escrow Fund. The Distribution Fund’s balance sheet primarily reflects amounts receivable from the Company for the Rental Pool distribution payable to Participants and amounts due the Maintenance Escrow Fund. The operations of the Distribution Fund reflect Participants’ earnings in the Rental Pool. The Maintenance Escrow Fund reflects the accounting for certain escrowed assets of the Participants and, therefore, has no operations. It consists primarily of amounts escrowed on behalf of Participants or due from the Distribution Fund to meet minimum escrow requirements, fund the carpet care reserve and maintain the interior of the units.

 

The LAC, subject to the restriction in the MLA, invests the Maintenance Escrow Fund on behalf of the Participants. Income earned on the investments of the Maintenance Escrow Funds is allocated proportionately to the respective Maintenance Escrow Fund accounts and paid quarterly through the Distribution Fund. The funds are held in certificates of deposits.

We operate Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club (the “Resort”) in Palm Harbor, Florida, containing 1,216 condominium units; all of which have been sold to third parties or to affiliates of the Company. 425 of the condominium units are hotel accommodations that participate in a rental-pooling program (the “Rental Pool”) that provides owners with a percentage distribution of related room revenues minus certain fees and expenses. The remainder of the condominium units is owner-occupied. Other resort property owned by the Company and its affiliates include golf courses, restaurants, tennis courts, a spa and fitness center, swimming pools, conference center facilities and administrative offices.

 

Results of Operations

 

The Resort is a destination golf resort that appeals to group and transient guests within all market segments. The Resort provides condominium accommodations, food and beverage dining locations (three restaurants, room service, banquet and/or catering options) and recreational entertainment to members, business meetings, group guests, leisure guests and their families. The Resort offers room-only rates, golf packages, and family vacation packages.

 

As a destination golf resort, open year round, the Resort’s performance is sensitive to weather conditions and seasonality as well as general trends in the economy, with economic downturns adversely affecting our operating results. The Company’s operations are seasonal with the highest volume of revenue generated in the first two quarters of each calendar year. Due to the seasonal business of the Company, the results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

For the first quarter 2014, Resort Revenues were down 9.2% as compared to the same period last year. The decrease in revenues of $1,287,399 is attributable to the shift of the Group market segment. Due to rotational schedules (every two or three years), two large conventions included in last year’s results, rotated to different segments of Florida and the US and a third has moved to the second quarter. Our Transient market has continued growth year over year of $117,897 or 11.9%.

 

Cost and Expenses in our operating areas were well controlled resulting in a 8.6% reduction compared to the same period last year. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense year over year is the result of fully amortizing certain intangible assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Future operating costs and planned expenditures for capital additions and improvements are expected to be adequately funded by cash generated by the Resort’s operations and funding from our sole member or affiliates’ current cash reserves.

 

Our revenue stream is not considered to be dependent on any individual or small group of customers.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions and to select accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These accounting policies have been described on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and there have been no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act (defined below)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures, or our internal controls, will prevent all error or 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 reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. However, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

  

In addition, our management with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, have determined that no change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during or subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is (as that term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

In the normal course of operations, the Company is subject to claims and lawsuits.  The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of such matters will materially impair operations or have an adverse effect on its financial position.

 

Our former insurance carrier has requested reimbursement of monies from us that they paid in 2010 to settle certain claims asserted against us. We believe the request for reimbursement has no basis and, through our legal counsel, have denied the insurance carrier’s request for reimbursement and we intend to fully defend our position. The parties have agreed to non-binding mediation and a date has been set, May 22, 2014. The outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time. We do not believe this matter will have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations, and accordingly, there have been no adjustments to the accompanying financial statements as of March 31, 2014 for the effects of this matter.
