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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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 own and operate the Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club (the “Resort”). The Company is owned by a sole member who does not have any personal liability for any of the Company’s obligations except as expressly provided by law and/or contractual obligation.
The Company controls and operates the Rental Pool Lease Operations (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 390 units or 489 hotel rooms participate at any given time). Pursuant to the 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 for interim financial information and the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Consequently, they do not include all disclosures normally provided in the audited financial statements included in our 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, 2016.
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.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying financial statements include our belief that long-lived assets, including intangibles, are recoverable, and our estimates of the average lives of memberships from which we base our revenue recognition are reasonable. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period they are determined to be necessary. It is at least reasonably possible that our estimates could change in the near term. Future results could be materially affected if actual results differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Note 2. Accounts Receivable

In the normal course of our operations, we are periodically subject to claims and lawsuits. However, no such matters existed at March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016.
Note 5. Related Party Transactions
We incurred management fees to an affiliate of $463,242 and $429,764 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These fees are included in general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Statements of Operations and Changes in Member’s Equity.
At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, amounts due from affiliates were $311,532 and $120,104, respectively, which balances are non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.
The Innisbrook Rental Pool Lease Operation paid us $88,182 and $92,678 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 and Changes in Member’s Equity.
Note 6. Note Payable
On March 28, 2017, the Company and Salamander Innisbrook Condominium, LLC, a related party, obtained a loan in the amount of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) from Branch Banking and Trust Company (BB&T). The loan is to be repaid over a five (5) year period in monthly installments of principal plus interest based on a 15 year amortization schedule commencing on May 5, 2017 with the remaining unpaid balance due in full on May 5, 2022. The interest for the loan is the One Month LIBOR Rate plus two and one quarter percent (2.25%) per annum adjusted monthly on the first day of each LIBOR interest period (3.23% as of March 31, 2017). The loan is collateralized by the real and personal property of the Company and Salamander Innisbrook Condominium, LLC, the assignment and/or subordination of leases and our management agreement with an affiliate and guarantees by certain affiliates. We have distributed these funds to our Member as a partial return of the capital it has invested.
The loan agreement contains customary financial covenants, including a covenant to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.10 to 1.00, measured annually at the end of each fiscal year and a covenant to maintain a tangible net worth of not less than $15,000,000 at all times.
As part of our loan agreement we were required to deposit $1,500,000 into a cash reserve account. No later than February 28, 2018, we are required to deposit an additional $1,000,000 into such account. The cash reserve account is restricted and may only be used to service the loan.
We incurred financing costs of $318,279, which are deferred and are being amortized over the term of the loan. These costs have been reflected as a reduction of the note payable.
Below is a table of scheduled maturities of our note payable for the years ending March 31:
2018 | $ | 755,564 | ||
2019 | 784,915 | |||
2020 | 815,405 | |||
2021 | 847,081 | |||

The operation of the Rental Pool is tied closely to the Resort operations. The Rental Pool Master Lease Agreements provide for a quarterly distribution of a percentage of the Company’s room revenues to participating condominium owners (“Participants”), as defined in the agreements (see Note 1 of the Rental Pool Lease Operation financial statements). Because the Rental Pool participants share in a percentage of the Company’s 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 Company’s membership interests.

INNISBROOK RENTAL POOL LEASE OPERATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Rental Pool Lease Operation
Basis of Accounting
The Rental Pool funds are accounted for using the accrual method of accounting.
Organization and Operations
Salamander Innisbrook, LLC (the “Company”, “the “Resort”, ”we”, “us”, or “our”) 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 owner (the “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 new Agreement, the Resort pays the participant a quarterly distribution equal to 40% of the Adjusted Gross Revenues on the first $10 million; 45% between $10 million and $11 million and 50% above $11 million. Adjusted Gross Revenues are defined as Gross Revenues less agents’ 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 to Participants for such distribution. 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 generally held in certificates of deposit.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
We operate Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club (the “Resort” or the “Company”) in Palm Harbor, Florida, containing 1,216 condominium units; all of which have been sold to third parties or to affiliates of the Company. 405 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 remainders of the condominium units are 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.
Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (unaudited) were as follows:

For the first quarter 2017, resort revenues increased by $1,188,131 or 8.3% as compared to the same period last year due to increased occupancy and rates. Room revenues were up $507,432 (+11.95%) over last year. Package Rooms were down, due to the good weather experienced in the northern states; however the Group segment generated approximately $469,000 (+23.4%) over last year, and the Transient segment increased approximately $85,000 (+ 6.5%) over last year. Our Food & Beverage operations increased $502,924 (+49.6%) over 2016 with a Banquets increase of approximately $390,000 and Restaurants up approximately $113,000 over prior year. Golf revenues were up by approximately $179,000 (4.8%) over last year.
Operating costs and expenses were kept proportionate during the quarter as a percentage of revenue. Administrative expenses continue higher when compared to last year, due to a credit in legal fees given against the 2016 expense of approximately $(37,000), which was not duplicated in 2017. Other areas in G&A such as employee recognition, golf course maintenance, credit card commissions, sales-marketing expenses all increased over the 2016 quarter.

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.
The operation of the Resort is not considered to be dependent on any individual or small group of customers; accordingly the loss of any such individual or group would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition.
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 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,2016, and there have been no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2017.
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. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)", which requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP, and it permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date", which delayed the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year. As a result, ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. In the first six months of fiscal 2016, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the interpretation of certain principles of ASU No. 2014-09. The Company is evaluating the effect that this revenue recognition guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016 – 02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This standard establishes the principles to report transparent and economically neutral information about the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. Upon implementation, lessees will need to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. It will be critical to identify leases embedded in a contract to avoid misstating the lessee’s balance sheet. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. Existing sale-leaseback guidance, including guidance for real estate, is replaced with a new model applicable to both lessees and lessors. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard, but have not yet determined the impact of adoption on our financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and other relevant market rate or price changes. The Company is exposed to market risk associated with changes in the LIBOR interest rate on our variable rate debt. The Company regularly evaluates its exposure to such changes and may elect to minimize this risk through the use of interest rate swap agreements. If a 10% change in interest rates were to have occurred on March 31, 2017, this change would not have had a material effect on our results of operations.

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, 2017, 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.
The Company is periodically involved in litigation in the normal course of operations. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the effect of these claims, if any, is not material to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
On January 16, 2015, we entered into a settlement agreement and release with our former insurance carrier whereby the parties mutually released and resolved all disputes. We agreed to provide a credit towards future resort usage to be used over a three-year period that commenced on March 1, 2015. The credit, which approximated $350,000, is divided equally among the three-year period with no rollover of unused amounts from one year to another. At March 31, 2017, our remaining liability under this arrangement is approximately $119,127.
