GOLF HOST RESORTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(a wholly owned subsidiary of Golf Hosts, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

(1)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    The financial statements for December 31, 2003 were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K dated December 31, 2003, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has negative working capital and has a shareholder’s deficit. These issues raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in the footnotes. Additionally, as described in Note 6 of the notes to consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K, the Company has defaulted under the terms of its debt agreement and Golf Host, Inc. (“GHI”) (the Company’s parent company) is a defendant to a class action lawsuit.
 
    These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties. These financial statements and related notes are presented for interim periods in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, consequently, do not include all disclosures normally provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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, 2003.
 
    The accompanying consolidated balance sheets for March 31, 2004, and consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, are unaudited but reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
 
    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 the fiscal years.
 
2)   INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
    The Company recorded at closing in 1997, a resort intangible asset of approximately $30,400,000. This intangible related to the purchase of the Innisbrook Resort, which contained an existing rental pool agreement and a recently executed management agreement with Westin Hotels. The intangible is being amortized over twenty years on a straight-line basis. Amortization expense for all intangible assets was approximately $215,000 and $215,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, respectively.

(unaudited)

2)   INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)
 
    At December 31, 2003, the Company reviewed the carrying value of the intangible asset and determined that further impairment had not occurred. Advance booking and rental pool participation have stabilized from a historical perspective, and pro-forma cash flows, based upon advance bookings indicate that no further deterioration in the carrying value needs to be recognized.
 
(3)   DEBT
 
    Debt consists of the following:

                 
    March 31,   December 31,
    2004
  2003
Participating mortgage note at varying pay rates maturing in 2027 (in default)
  $ 69,975,000     $ 69,975,000  
$9,000,000 participating mortgage note credit facility maturing in 2007 (in default)
    9,000,000       9,000,000  
 
   
 
     
 
 
 
    78,975,000       78,975,000

  $     $  
 
   
 
     
 
 

(4)   CONTINGENCIES
 
    The Company, in the normal course of operations, 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 the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
 
    GHI was named as a defendant in a consolidated class action lawsuit (“class action lawsuit”) whereby the plaintiffs allege breaches of contract, including breaches in connection with the Rental Pool Master Lease Agreement. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages and declaratory judgment stating that the plaintiffs are entitled to participate in the rental pool if one exists, a limitation of the total number of club memberships and a limitation of golf course access to persons who are either condominium owners who are members, their accompanied guests, or guests of the resort. Depositions of class members and others, including depositions of former executives of the Company, have been taken and additional discovery remains. The Court has postponed the previously scheduled trial date of February 3, 2003; a new trial date has not yet been set. As of March 31, 2004, the Court had decertified the class and denied the plaintiffs’ subsequent motion to permit additional owners to intervene in the lawsuit. In addition, the plaintiffs filed a complaint seeking to “pierce the corporate veil”. The court dismissed the veil piercing complaint with prejudice. The plaintiffs appealed the

(4)   CONTINGENCIES (continued)
 
    decertification of the class, the denial to intervene and the veil piercing dismissal to the Florida Court of Appeals, Second District. The Court of Appeals has affirmed the lower court’s decertification of the class and has affirmed the lower court’s dismissal with prejudice of the veil piercing case. No decision on the intervention appeal has been made. As this litigation is still in progress, the Company is not yet able to determine whether the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. However, the Company believes GHI has successful defenses based upon consultations with legal counsel, and intends to vigorously defend this action.
 
    The Company has recorded a liability and related asset in the approximate amount of $6,961,000, in recognition of the Master Lease Agreement refurbishment reimbursement program. The liability will be settled in accordance with the terms of the agreement and the asset is being amortized on a straight line basis over the period from the time each phase of the refurbishment is placed is service through the completion of payment in 2009. The amortization expense for the period ending March 31, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $261,000 and $204,000, respectively.
 
    As noted in the Company’s 10-K filed as of December 31, 2003, the Company has defaulted on its primary mortgage with Golf Trust of America (“GTA”). The Company is engaged in negotiations with GTA and is seeking a solution to its default status. At the time of this filing, no definite or final agreement has been reached.

RENTAL POOL LEASE OPERATION

The following unaudited financial statements of the Innisbrook Rental Pool Lease Operation (the “Rental Pool”) are for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.

The operation of the Rental Pool is tied closely to that of Golf Host Resorts, Inc. (the “Company”), and provides for distribution of a percentage of the Company’s room revenues, as defined in the Rental Pool Master Lease Agreements, to participating condominium owners (“Participants”).

The Innisbrook Rental Pool Operation is party to lease agreements with an affiliated entity, whose ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt.

The operation of the Rental Pool is more fully discussed in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 (file No. 2-64309).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Quarter ended March 31, 2004

During the first quarter of 2004, the Company’s results of operations continued to reflect the soft trend in the hospitality industry and the destination golf resort segment of that industry. Occupied room nights at the Innisbrook resort were 3.6% less than the same three-month period for the prior year. Total room nights were down 876 for the period ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. Group room nights were down 3,094 while transient rooms increased by 2,218 room nights, as compared to the same period last year. Total revenue per room night increased by 1.6% or $8.40 over the prior year. Gross revenue per room night for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $524.88 as compared to $516.49 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. These net reductions in room nights offset with the increase in room night spending levels produced a net decrease in gross revenue of approximately $253,000 or 2.0%.

Expenses are being managed in response to the reduced demand in the market place, excluding the day-to-day maintenance costs of the four golf courses.

The decrease in revenue combined with the net increases in operating expenses and depreciation and amortization noted above, produced a net reduction in the comparative three-month operating income of approximately $313,000 or 23.8%. Operating income, before interest expense and preferred dividend requirements, was approximately $999,000 versus income of approximately $1,312,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, respectively.

Interest expense, net of interest income, reflects the continued accrual of the Company’s GTA interest obligations. Total interest expense increased by approximately $154,000 or 6.9%.

Capital expenditure reserves in the amount of approximately $619,000 were set-aside during the quarter ended March 31, 2004. During the quarter approximately $424,000 was used to fund the installation of the telephone switch; approximately $77,000 was used to fund lease payments on operating assets such as golf carts, golf grounds equipment and computer equipment while $77,000 was used to replace and repair the conference center and clubhouse HVAC, roofing systems, pool pump equipment and miscellaneous deferred maintenance projects.

The following information may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements may be identified by the inclusion of terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “hope” or “may.” Although the Company believes that such forward-looking statements are based upon sound and reasonable assumptions, given the circumstances in which the statements are made, the actual results could differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements.

Certain factors that might cause such a difference include the following: changes in general economic conditions that may influence group conferences and guests’ vacations 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; reaching a settlement agreement with the Company’s primary lender; settlement of the Class Action Lawsuit; the ability of the Company to continue to operate the Innisbrook property under its management contracts; and the resale of condominiums to owners who elect neither to participate in the rental pool nor to become Club members. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on such statements.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s working capital position has decreased to a deficit of approximately $108,411,000. This is a reduction of approximately $944,000 in working capital from the December 31, 2003 deficit of approximately $107,467,000.

The Company continues to experience seasonal fluctuations in its net working capital position. These fluctuations have been managed in the past through the utilization of an accounts receivable revolving credit line. Effective May 23, 2002, the revolving credit line with Wells Fargo Business Credit was terminated by Wells Fargo as a result of the Company’s default on the participating mortgage with GTA.

The Company was informed by GTA on November 29, 2001 that the Company is in default on the $78,975,000 mortgage and accrued interest, arising from the Company’s failure to pay the October 2001 interest and all subsequent monthly installments. GTA has asserted its right to accelerate payment of the total outstanding principal and interest amounts.

As of May 2004, the Company is seeking to negotiate a Settlement Agreement with GTA. In connection with the proposed Settlement Agreement, the Company would transfer to GTA the Innisbrook resort property, three condominium units located at the resort, the Company’s ownership interests in GTA stock, and all rights, title and interests of the Company under existing contracts and agreements. In addition, the Company would provide limited indemnity to defend and hold harmless GTA (and its affiliates) from and against any and all costs, liabilities, claims, losses, judgments or damages arising out of or in connection with the Class Action Lawsuit, as well as liabilities accruing on or before the closing date relating to employee benefits and liabilities for contracts or agreements not disclosed by the Company to GTA. In return, it is anticipated that GTA would deliver to the Company a duly executed release. No Settlement Agreement has yet been signed and no terms are definite. Neither GTA nor any of its affiliates are under any obligation to execute the Settlement Agreement and GTA could initiate foreclosure proceedings or pursue any other legal remedies available to it at any time.

As described in Note 4 of the notes to consolidated financial statements on the Company’s Form 10-K for December 31, 2003, management had determined that due to declining demand in the hotel golf resort business and related rental pool participation, which led to declines in operating results, impairment of the intangible asset had occurred. At December 31, 2000, an impairment charge of $7,441,000 was recorded. As a result of the continued decline in destination golf resort business during 2001 and the events of September 11, 2001, the Company had determined that further impairment had occurred and consequently recorded an additional $3,000,000 impairment charge during the quarter ended September 30, 2001. No further impairment has been recognized subsequent to the period ended September 30, 2001.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

      The Registrant does not have significant market risk with respect to foreign currency exchanges or other market rates. The Registrant’s debt has a fixed contractual interest rate through the year 2027 and, accordingly, fluctuations in interest rates are not expected to affect financial results.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

      Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Registrant’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Principal Financial Officer and the Registrant’s agent (Westin North American Management Company), carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon the evaluation, the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information to be included in the Registrant’s periodic SEC filings.
 
      There have been no significant changes in the Registrant’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer carried out this evaluation.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

      The Company, in the normal course of operations, 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 the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
 
      GHI was named as a defendant in a consolidated class action lawsuit (“class action lawsuit”) whereby the plaintiffs allege breaches of contract, including breaches in connection with the Rental Pool Lease Agreement. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages and a declaratory judgment stating that the plaintiffs are entitled to participate in the rental pool if one exists, a limitation of the total number of club memberships and a limitation of golf course access to persons who are either condominium owners who are members, their accompanied guests, or guests of the resort. Depositions of class members and others, including depositions of former executives of the Company, have been taken and additional discovery remains. The Court has postponed the previously scheduled trial date of February 3, 2003; a new trial date has not yet been set. As of March 31, 2004, the Court had decertified the class and denied the plaintiffs’ subsequent motion to permit additional owners to intervene in the lawsuit. In addition, the plaintiffs filed a complaint seeking to “pierce the corporate veil”. The court dismissed the veil piercing complaint with prejudice. The plaintiffs appealed the decertification of the class, the denial to intervene and the

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings (continued)

      veil piercing dismissal to the Florida Court of Appeals, Second District. The Court of Appeals has affirmed the lower court’s decertification of the class and has affirmed the lower court’s dismissal with prejudice of the veil piercing case. No decision on the intervention appeal has been made. As this litigation is still in progress, the Company is not yet able to determine whether the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. However, the Company believes GHI has successful defenses based upon consultations with legal counsel, and intends to vigorously defend this action.
