NOTE 1 – Organization 

EFG Kirkwood LLC (the "Company") was formed as Tandem Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, on December 2, 1998. On April 6, 1999, the Company changed its name to EFG Kirkwood LLC. The Company’s operations commenced on June 10, 1999. 

The Company has two classes of membership interests identified as Class A and Class B. The Class A members are AFG Investment Trust A Liquidating Trust, AFG Investment Trust B Liquidating Trust, AFG Investment Trust C, and AFG Investment Trust D (collectively, the "AFG Trusts"). The Class B member is Semele Group Inc. The collective voting interests of the Class A members are equal to the voting interests of the Class B member; however, the Class A interest holders are entitled to certain preferred returns prior to the payment of Class B cash distributions. The manager of the Company is AFG ASIT Corporation, which also is the Managing Trustee of the AFG Trusts. (See "Note 5 – Related Party Transactions" herein for additional information concerning the relationships of the Company’s members.) 

At both December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company owned approximately 38% of each of the Series A common membership interests and the Series B preferred membership interests of Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company owned approximately 33% and 50%, respectively, of the common member interests of Mountain Springs Resort, LLC. The Company has no business activities other than through its membership interests in Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC and Mountain Springs Resort, LLC (hereinafter, collectively referred to as the "Resorts"). 

Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC 

Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC, through four wholly owned subsidiaries, owns and operates the Kirkwood Mountain Resort, a ski resort located in northern California, a public utility that services the local community, and land that is held for residential and commercial development. (See Note 4.) 

Mountain Springs Resort, LLC 

Mountain Springs Resort, LLC, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Durango Resort, LLC, owns 80% of the common member interests and 100% of the Class B preferred member interests of DSC/Purgatory, LLC, which owns and operates the Durango Mountain Resort in Durango, Colorado. (See Note 4.) 

NOTE 2 – Significant Accounting Policies 

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

The Company classifies amounts on deposit in banks and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents. 

Equity Ownership Investments 

The Company accounts for its membership interests in the Resorts using the equity method of accounting as the Company’s ownership interest in the Resorts enables the Company to influence the operating financial decisions of the investees. Under the equity method of accounting, the carrying value of the Company's membership interests are (i) increased or decreased to reflect the Company’s share of income or loss from the Resorts and (ii) decreased to reflect any cash distributions paid by the Resorts to the Company. 

The equity method of accounting is discontinued when the investment is reduced to zero and does not provide for additional losses unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the investee or is otherwise committed to provide further financial support to the investment. 

The Company defines control as the ability of an entity or person to direct the policies and management that guide the ongoing activities of another entity so as to increase its benefits and limit its losses from that other entity’s activities without the assistance of others. 

Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets 

During 2001, the Company accounted for the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 121. During 2002, the Company accounted for impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" which the Company adopted on January 1, 2002. In accordance with SFAS No. 144 and 121, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying values of such assets may not be recoverable and exceed their fair value. Whenever circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist, the Company evaluates future cash flows of the asset to the carrying value. If projected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, a loss is recorded in the accompanying consolidated Statements of Operations as impairment of assets. The loss recorded is equal to the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. The fair value of the asset requires several considerations, including but not limited to: an independent appraisal or valuation model which includes the present value of expected future cash flows of the asset, current market prices and management’s market knowledge. 

No impairments were recorded in 2002, 2001 or 2000. 

Amortization 

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, ("SFAS No. 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" on January 1, 2002. As a result, the discontinuance of goodwill and other intangible asset amortization was effective upon adoption of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also includes provisions for the reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized intangibles, reclassification of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill, and the identification of reporting units for purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill. The amount of the impairment is the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. Fair value of the asset should be calculated using several valuation models, which utilize the expected future cash flows of the Trust. SFAS No. 142 requires the Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment analysis during the quarter ended June 30, 2002. There was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting SFAS No. 142. 

Allocation of Profits and Losses 

Profits and losses of the Company are allocated consistent with the economic priorities of the Company’s members relative to one another. The Company’s operating agreement provides that cash distributions to the Class B member are subordinate to Class A Payout. (Class A Payout is defined as the first time that the Class A members shall have been paid a cash return equal to all of their original capital contributions plus a yield of 12% per annum compounded annually, subject to certain adjustments.) Accordingly, the Company’s cumulative losses have been allocated first to the Class B member up to the amount of its original capital contribution of $750,000. Cumulative losses in excess of $750,000 have been allocated to the Class A members in proportion to their respective interests in aggregate Class A equity. 

Future net income or net loss, as the case may be, will be allocated first to the Class A members until they reach Class A Payout. Neither the Class B nor the Class A members are required to make any additional capital contributions to the Company under the terms of the Company’s operating agreement. 

Income Taxes 

No provision for federal or state income taxes has been provided for the Company, as the liability for such income taxes is the obligation of the Company’s members. 

Reclassification 

Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the December 31, 2002 presentation. 

NOTE 3 – Convertible Debentures 

On June 10, 1999, the Company purchased $1,000,000 of convertible debentures from Kirkwood Associates, Inc. The debentures earned interest at the annual rate of 6.5%, compounded quarterly, and permitted the Company to convert both principal and accrued, but unpaid, interest into shares of common stock in Kirkwood Associates, Inc. at a defined conversion rate. On April 30, 2000, the Company elected to convert all of the principal and accrued, but unpaid, interest under the debentures ($1,059,125) into 962,841 shares of common stock in Kirkwood Associates, Inc. (See Note 4.) 

NOTE 4 – Advances to and Membership Interests in Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC and Mountain Springs Resort, LLC 

Mountain Resort Holdings LLC 

The Company’s membership interests in Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC were obtained on April 30, 2000 as a result of the recapitalization of Kirkwood Associates, Inc. Under the recapitalization plan, the net assets of Kirkwood Associates, Inc., excluding certain tax liabilities, were contributed to Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC and the stockholders of Kirkwood Associates, Inc. exchanged their capital stock for membership interests in Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC. 

At both December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company owned approximately 38% of each of the Series A common membership interests and the Series B preferred membership interests of Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC. The Company purchased its initial equity interests in Kirkwood Associates, Inc. on June 10, 1999 at a discount to book value of approximately $3,329,000. On April 30, 2000, the Company completed certain additional equity transactions in connection with the recapitalization of Kirkwood Associates, Inc. These transactions caused the net purchase discount to be reduced to approximately $2,812,000, such amount representing the net amount by which the Company’s share of the net equity reported by Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC exceeded the purchase price paid by the Company for such interests. This difference is being treated as a reduction to the depreciable assets recorded by Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC and is being amortized as a reduction of depreciation expense over 13 years. The amortization period represents the weighted average estimated useful life of the long-term assets owned by Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC. The Company’s allocated share of the net income (loss) of Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC detailed below is adjusted for depreciation expense reductions of $213,398 in each of the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and $227,629 for the year ended December 31, 2000. 

A summary of the Company’s membership interest in Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC from inception to December 31, 2002 is presented in the table below.

__________ 

(1) The Company’s allocated share of the net income (loss) of Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC for 2001 and 2000 was determined based upon its common and preferred equity interests in Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC during the respective years/periods. From June 10, 1999 to April 30, 2000, the Company owned approximately 71% of the outstanding preferred equity interests and approximately 16% of the outstanding common equity interests of Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC. After the recapitalization on April 30, 2000, discussed above, the Company held approximately 38% of both the outstanding preferred and common equity interests of Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC. The Company’s allocated share of the net income or loss of the resort is influenced principally by the Company’s percentage share of the outstanding common interests of the resort during the respective periods. Consequently, the Company was allocated a larger share of the operating results of Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC during the period May 1, 2000 to December 31, 2000 (approximately 38%) compared to the period January 1, 2000 to April 30, 2000 (approximately 16%). The period from January 1 to April 30 is generally considered peak season for U.S. based ski resorts. During the period January 1, 2000 to April 30, 2000, Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC reported net income of approximately $3.6 million compared to a net loss of approximately $3.3 million during the period May 1, 2000 to December 31, 2000. 

The table below provides summarized financial data for Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC as of and for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000.

Mountain Springs Resort, LLC 

The Company and a third party established Mountain Springs Resort, LLC as a 50/50 joint venture for the purpose of acquiring certain common and preferred equity interests in DSC/Purgatory, LLC. The Company and its joint venture partner provided cash funds totaling $6,800,000 to Mountain Springs Resort, LLC, each member having contributed $2,400,000 of equity and $1,000,000 in the form of loans. The loans earned interest at the rate of 11.5% annually until their maturity on November 1, 2001 whereupon both the Company and its joint venture partner converted their respective loan principal and accrued, but unpaid, interest ($1,121,260 each) into equity interests in Mountain Springs Resort, LLC. 

A wholly owned subsidiary of Mountain Springs Resort, LLC, Durango Resort, LLC, was established to acquire 80% of the common membership interests and 100% of the Class B preferred membership interests of DSC/Purgatory, LLC at a cost of approximately $6,311,000, including transaction costs of approximately $311,000. Subsequently, Mountain Springs Resort, LLC contributed additional equity totaling $302,400 to DSC/Purgatory LLC to pay its share of costs associated with planning for the development of Mountain Springs Resort, LLC’s real estate. 

The assets, liabilities and equity of DSC/Purgatory, LLC were contributed at estimated fair value. The acquisition of DSC/Purgatory, LLC was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable assets of DSC/Purgatory, LLC, or approximately $311,000, was allocated to goodwill and was amortized over a period of 13 years, through December 31, 2001. The Company’s allocated share of the net loss of Mountain Springs Resort, LLC includes amortization expense for goodwill of $11,970 and $6,983 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The amount amortized had been included in equity income(loss) as an offset to the Advances to and membership interests in Mountain Springs Resort, LLC. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", the discontinuance of goodwill amortization was effective as of January 1, 2002. 

The remaining equity interests of DSC/Purgatory, LLC, consisting of 20% of the common membership interests and 100% of the Class A preferred membership interests, are owned by a third party. The Class A preferred membership interests are senior to the other equity interests in DSC/Purgatory, LLC. Consequently, the Company’s economic interests in DSC/Purgatory, LLC are subordinate to the Class A member and have resulted in the Company recognizing a larger share of the net losses reported by DSC/Purgatory, LLC than would be the case if all equity interests were pari passu. 

In October 2002, an existing owner and an unrelated third party contributed approximately $2.5 million to Mountain Springs. As a result of the capital contribution, EFG Kirkwood’s membership interest in Mountain Springs decreased from 50% to 33%. Mountain Springs used the proceeds from the additional capital contribution to exercise an option to purchase 51% of Durango Mountain Land Company, LLC, a real estate development company owning land in Durango, Colorado. 

A summary of the Company’s advances to and membership interests in Mountain Springs Resort, LLC from inception to December 31, 2002 is presented in the table below.

________ 

(1) Mountain Springs Resort, LLC purchased its interest in DSC/Purgatory, LLC effective May 1, 2000. The Company’s allocated share of net loss of Mountain Springs Resort, LLC prior to May 1, 2000 does not include any share of the income or loss from DSC/Purgatory, LLC. 

As of December 31, 2002, the Company owns 33% of Mountain Springs Resort, LLC, which through a wholly owned subsidiary, Durango Resorts, LLC, owns 80% of the common membership interests and 100% of the Class B preferred membership interests of DSC/Purgatory, LLC. The operations of Mountain Springs Resort, LLC and Durango Resort, LLC are immaterial except for their investments in the entities as described above. 

In accordance with equity method accounting, an equity investment may be reduced below zero if the investor has guaranteed obligations of the investee. During 2002, the Company’s investment in Mountain Springs Resort was reduced below zero as a result of the Company’s guarantee of a revolving line of credit for DSC/Purgatory LLC. (See Note 6). 

The table below provides summarized financial data for DSC/Purgatory, LLC as of and for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000.

____________ 

(2) The Company became a member of DSC/Purgatory, LLC on May 1, 2000. Accordingly,
amounts reflected for 2000 are for the period May 1, 2000 through December 31, 2000 and 
therefore excludes what is generally considered peak season for U.S. based ski resorts.

Due to the economic downturn in the tourism industry following September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the Company evaluated the fair value of its investments in the Resorts. The Company hired an independent third party appraiser who used a valuation model to determine the fair value of the investments in the Resorts, which included expected future cash flows from each of the Resorts. Based on the Company’s overall industry knowledge and the valuation performed by the appraiser, the Company concluded that no impairment of the Company’s investments in the Resorts was necessary as of December 31, 2002. 

NOTE 5 – Related Party Transactions 

The Company’s Class A and Class B members and its manager are affiliated. Semele Group Inc., through a wholly owned subsidiary, owns and controls the Company’s manager, AFG ASIT Corporation, as well as a controlling voting interest in each of the AFG Trusts. 

The membership interests of the Company are owned as follows: 

	Percentage
Class A membership interests

AFG Investment Trust A Liquidating Trust	10%
AFG Investment Trust B Liquidating Trust	20%
AFG Investment Trust C	40%
AFG Investment Trust D	30%


Total Class A membership interests	100%


Class B membership interests

Semele Group Inc.	100%

NOTE 6 – Guarantee 

On August 1, 2001, the Company entered into a guarantee agreement whereby EFG Kirkwood guarantees the payment obligations under a revolving line of credit between Mountain Springs and a third party lender. Another investor in the ski resort also separately guarantees the payment obligation under the line of credit. The amount of the guarantee is equal to the outstanding balance of the line of credit which cannot exceed the principal balance of $3,500,000. The Company’s guarantee would require payment only in the event of default on the line of credit by DSC/Purgatory, LLC in an amount equal to amounts advanced less any amounts recovered from the other guarantor on the line. As of December 31, 2002, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $2,550,000. The revolving line of credit is scheduled to mature in October 2004. During 2002, the Company’s investment in Mountain Springs Resort, LLC was reduced below zero as a result of the Company’s guarantee of the revolving line of credit. (See Note 4). 

NOTE 7 – Members’ Capital Contributions and Distributions 

In December 2002, the Company declared and made a $640,575 distribution to the Class A members, allocated in accordance with their respective membership interests. During 2002, the members made a $1,600 capital contribution to the Company in accordance with their respective membership interests. 

During the year ended December 31, 2000, the members made capital contributions totaling $3,186,515 in accordance with their respective membership interests. The Company used these capital contributions to purchase additional ownership interests in Mountain Resort Holdings, LLC and Mountain Springs Resort, LLC. (See Note 4). 

NOTE 8 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued.  It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee.  The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of the interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and the disclosure requirements in this interpretation are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002.   The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46"). This interpretation clarifies existing accounting principles related to the preparation of consolidated financial statements when the equity investors in an entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or when the equity at risk is not sufficient for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 requires a company to evaluate all existing arrangements to identify situations where a company has a "variable interest," commonly evidenced by a guarantee arrangement or other commitment to provide financial support, in a "variable interest entity," commonly a thinly capitalized entity, and further determine when such variable interest requires a company to consolidate the variable interest entities financial statement with its own. This interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date.  In October 2003, the FASB issued a Final FASB Staff Position deferring the effective date of FIN 46 for all public entities until the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003. As such, FIN 46 will be effective for the Company as of December 31, 2003. Based on the recent release of this interpretation, the Company has not completed its assessment as to whether or not the adoption of this interpretation will have a material impact on its financial statements. 

The Company is currently evaluating its investments in Mountain Resort Holdings LLC and Mountain Springs Resort LLC to determine if they meet the definition of a variable interest entity as defined in FIN 46. As of September 30, 2003, the Company’s maximum exposure of equity investments which could be effected by FIN 46 is $10.4 million, which represents the carrying value of the Company’s investments plus the outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit discussed in Note 6 above. 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity". SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. In addition, SFAS No. 150 requires an issuer to classify certain instruments with specific characteristics described in it as liabilities (or as assets in some circumstances). Specially, SFAS No. 150 requires that financial instruments issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable; financial instruments that embody an obligation to repurchase the issuer’s equity shares or are indexed to such an obligation; or financial instruments that embody an unconditional obligation or a conditional obligation that can be settled in certain ways be classified as liabilities. 

In October 2003, the FASB deferred for an indefinite period the application of the guidance in SFAS No. 150 to noncontrolling interests that are classified as equity in the financial statements of the subsidiary but would be classified as a liability in the parent's financial statements under SFAS No. 150 (e.g., noncontrolling interests in limited-life subsidiaries).  The FASB decided to defer the application of SFAS No. 150 to these noncontrolling interests until it could consider some of the resulting implementation issues associated with the measurement and recognition guidance for these noncontrolling interests.

The profits and losses of the Company are allocated to the members based upon their respective common ownership interests. If any cash distributions are declared, the Class A preferred interests are entitled to a priority distribution of $7.5 million followed by the Class B preferred interest, which is then entitled to a priority cash distribution of $6 million. After the priority distributions have been made, the Class A and Class B preferred interests will share pari passu distributions until each has received a 6% compounded, cumulative preferred return. After the priority and preferred distributions, any additional distributions shall be based upon the common ownership interests. 

ElkPoint Development, LLC 

During the year ended May 31, 2001, the Company formed ElkPoint Development, LLC (ElkPoint), as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. ElkPoint is primarily engaged in real estate sales and development on a 1.4-acre parcel adjacent to the core village (the ElkPoint Parcel). 

ElkPoint was initially capitalized with approximately $750,000 in assets consisting of a clubhouse ($550,000), land ($50,000), and utility taps ($150,000). The ElkPoint Parcel was subdivided into 14 residential townhome lots and one commercial lot upon which the existing building is located. Elkpoint has incurred and capitalized $349,364 and $472,302 as of April 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, on development, engineering and architectural costs related to the development and construction of the ElkPoint parcel. 

During the eleven-month period ended April 30, 2002, ElkPoint sold a clubhouse and one utility tap to the Master Owners Association (MOA) for $500,000 for use as a clubhouse resulting in a loss of approximately $55,000. The MOA is an association of the resort condominium owners. In conjunction with the sale, the MOA issued a $500,000 note payable that accrues interest at 5% annually. The note requires monthly interest-only payments through May 2003 and monthly principal and interest payments thereafter through the May 2013 maturity date. ElkPoint recorded $24,958 and $28,531 in interest income related to the note payable in 2003 and 2002, respectively. 

1. Ownership and Operations (continued) 

As of April 30, 2002, ElkPoint had entered into an agreement to sell seven phase II townhome lots and utility taps to San Juan Mountain Investments, LLC (SJMI), a developer, for approximately $750,000. As payment, SJMI placed approximately $258,000 in escrow at closing, with the balance to be paid in increments as each constructed townhome is sold to a buyer. Thus, no revenue was recognized as of April 30, 2002, for the sale and the $258,000 deposit was recorded as deferred revenue. The sales agreement also included an option to purchase seven phase I townhome lots. 

During 2003, SJMI sold all of the phase II townhome lots to third party buyers, at which time ElkPoint recorded as revenue the $258,000 deposit along with the additional cash proceeds from SJMI of approximately $492,000. 

Also during 2003, SJMI exercised its option to purchase the seven phase I townhome lots. As part of this sale, Elkpoint received and recorded as revenue $497,000 for sale of the land and utility taps. Additionally, as part of the sales agreement, ElkPoint was to be reimbursed for all costs incurred related to the improvement of the land of approximately $175,000 plus additional cash proceeds of approximately $280,000 to be received upon SJMI’s sale of the townhome lots to third-party buyers. As of April 30, 2003, none of these lots had been sold to third-party buyers. 

Durango Mountain Realty, LLC 

During the year ended May 31, 2001, the Company and an unrelated third party formed Durango Mountain Realty, LLC (Realty), an 80% owned subsidiary of the Company. All profits and losses of Realty are allocated 100% to the Company, after deducting employment compensation of the other member. Realty is primarily engaged in the marketing and sale of real estate in the Resort and Durango area. The investment by the related party is recorded as minority interest. 

Realty recorded $145,454 and $185,000 as of April 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, as restricted cash and deferred revenue related to deposits received from third-party buyers of real estate. 

1. Ownership and Operations (continued) 

Durango Mountain Land Company, LLC 

In May 2000, Durango signed an option agreement (Option I) with T-H to purchase a 51% interest in approximately 500 acres of unentitled real estate owned by T-H surrounding the Resort. To proceed with real estate development on the 500 Option I acres and the 100 acres owned by the Resort, the Company initiated certain entitlement and master planning (Entitlement) activities. In conjunction with Option I, Durango and T-H contributed a total of $504,000 toward initial Entitlement costs, which were originally recorded as capital contributions by the Company. The costs were paid 60% by Durango and 40% by T-H or $302,400 and $201,600, respectively ($504,000, in total). 

In fiscal year 2003, Durango exercised Option I by paying T-H approximately $2.5 million. In conjunction with the exercise of this option, Durango and T-H formed Durango Mountain Land Company, LLC (Landco). On October 25, 2002, Durango and T-H signed an operating agreement in which it was agreed that Landco would acquire, develop, and otherwise operate this real estate. Additionally as part of this agreement, DSC/Purgatory agreed to reimburse Durango and T-H for their original capital contributions of $302,400 and $201,600, respectively. 

Pursuant to the operating agreement, Durango and Landco agreed to allocate 84% of the real estate development costs already incurred in excess of the initial $504,000 to Landco and 16% to the Resort. The total payable of $504,000 due to Durango and T-H was netted against the outstanding receivable from Landco in 2003. 

2. Significant Accounts and Policies 

Principles of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its two subsidiaries, ElkPoint Development, LLC, and Durango Mountain Realty, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

2. Significant Accounts and Policies (continued) 

Change in Presentation 

Historically, the Resort reported on a fiscal year ending May 31. Effective with the 2002 fiscal year, the Resort changed its year end to April 30; therefore, the financial statements for the period just completed are of and as for the twelve months ended April 30, 2003 and the comparative prior year are as of and for the eleven months ended April 30, 2002. 

Reclassification 

Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior year’s financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year. 

Cash 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 

Income Taxes 

The Company and its subsidiaries are limited liability companies; therefore, the income tax results and activities flow directly to, and are the responsibility of the Members. As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect a provision for federal or state income taxes. 

Restricted Cash and Investment 

The Company maintains reserve funds to secure future bond service obligations as required under the bond agreements. Amounts on deposit in the reserve funds will be transferred to the bond trustee, as needed, to cover any qualified resort improvements, operating expenses (under limited conditions), and deficiencies in required bond service payments. Reserve funds held are invested in U.S. governmental securities. The Company has the positive intent and ability to hold all of its investment securities to maturity and does not engage in trading or sales activity relating to these investments. These investments are classified as held to maturity and are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates their fair value. 

2. Significant Accounts and Policies (continued) 

Other amounts held as current restricted cash include, reserves under various insurance and sales contracts. 

Components of restricted cash and investments are as follows: 

	April 30
		2003		2002

Bond funds:
Construction (available for future qualifying Resort improvements)	$	683,609	$	1,540,466
Sinking reserve		1,184,500		1,191,360
Operating reserve (available for operations under limited conditions)		90,000		700,000
Property tax		–		80,933
Cost of issuance		635		62,931

Total	$	1,958,744	$	3,575,690

Accounts Receivable and Related Allowances 

Accounts receivable consists mostly of trade and vacation wholesaler receivables primarily related to the most recent winter season. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an analysis of all receivables for possible impairment issues and historical write-off percentages. Account balances are written off when deemed uncollectible. 

Inventory 

Inventory consists primarily of retail clothing, ski equipment, and food and beverage inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value, generally using the average cost method, on a first-in, first-out basis. 

2. Significant Accounts and Policies (continued) 

Property, Equipment and Special Use Permit 

The Company owns approximately 100 acres of the base area land including approximately 35,000 square feet of commercial facilities in the village plaza. The Company also has a significant investment in ski trails, lifts and related assets located on land leased from the United States Forest Service (USFS) under a special use permit (including two restaurant facilities on USFS land containing an aggregate of approximately 15,000 square feet of commercial space). The special use permit was renewed in 1999 for a 40-year term, which expires in 2039. The special use permit is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2003 and 2002, at approximately $1,120,440 and $1,148,000, respectively, net of accumulated amortization. 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: 

	Useful Lives in Years


Buildings and improvements	5 to 40
Ski lifts and trails	10 to 40
Machinery and equipment	3 to 15

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles 

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting For the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of , and requires that one accounting impairment model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sales, whether previously held and used or newly acquired, and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. 

2. Significant Accounts and Policies (continued) 

In connection with SFAS 144, the Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the review reveals an impairment as indicated based on undiscounted cash flows, the carrying amount of the related long-lived assets or identifiable intangibles are adjusted to fair value. There has been no impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets or identifiable intangibles. 

Real Estate Development Costs 

The Company has been involved in real estate entitlement activity over the last 36 months. This entitlement activity primarily involves the approximate 100 acres owned by the Resort and the approximate 500 acres owned by Landco. The Company pays certain real estate development expenses on behalf of Landco and records these as a related party accounts receivable on the balance sheet, accruing simple interest at 9% (Entitlement Note). The Company capitalizes development costs related to its 100 acres when it clearly relates to the acquisition, development, and construction of the real estate project. Capitalized development costs were $435,354 and $1,298,280 for the year ended April 30, 2003 and the eleven months ended April 30, 2002, respectively. These costs are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as real estate development costs. 

Accounts Payable 

Accounts payable balances represent trade obligations associated with the most recent winter season and preparation for the summer season. Upon presentation for payment, they will be funded through available cash balances or the Company’s line of credit. 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. 

The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term and long-term debt and note receivables approximates fair value. 

2. Significant Accounts and Policies (continued) 

Estimates and Assumptions 

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best available information and actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Other Assets 

Other assets consist primarily of debt issuance costs and deferred finance charges, which are amortized over the life of the related obligation. These costs total approximately $373,000 and $433,000, net of accumulated amortization, as of April 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The remaining balances in the April 2002 account relates to capitalized tap fees held by ElkPoint that were subsequently sold. 

Revenue Recognition 

The Resort’s revenues are derived from a wide variety of sources, including sales of lift tickets, ski school tuition, dining, retail stores, equipment rentals, hotel management operations, travel reservation commissions, and commercial property rentals, and are recognized as services are performed. 

The Resort records deferred revenue related to the sale of season ski passes, deposits relating to the sale of real estate, and proceeds placed in escrow pending future release events. The number of visits by season pass holders is estimated based on historical data, and the deferred revenue is recognized throughout the season based on this estimate. Real estate sales and related costs of sales are recognized when the deferral release events, generally transfer of title, are triggered. 

2. Significant Accounts and Policies (continued) 

The following table outlines the deferred revenue as of April 30, 2003 and 2002. 

	April 30
		2003		2002

Real estate sales:
ElkPoint	$	–	$	258,000
Realty		145,454		185,500
Hotel deposits		65,609		–
Season pass		642,951		247,189

	$	854,014	$	690,689

Advertising Costs 

Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $827,000 and $878,000 for the periods ended April 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. 

Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities 

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities include the following: 

	April 30

Payroll and vacation obligations	$	409,550	$	387,444
Seasonal trade accruals		231,257		357,000

Other		9,299		2,287

	$	1,207,903	$	1,290,818

3. Liquidity 

The Resort has historically generated net losses and working capital deficits. Such losses and working capital deficits, as well as amounts required to fund its capital expenditures, have been funded through related party borrowings and capital contributions from Members. Management believes that the cash on hand, cash flow from operations, and repayment from related parties will provide adequate working capital to fund its future activities. 

4. Debt 

Long-term debt consists of the following: 

	April 30
	2003	2002


Series 2001A Recreational Facilities Revenue Bonds (RFRB), tax exempt interest at 6.875%, with a maturity date of February 2012, with principal payments deferred until 2007, interest payments submitted to the trustee on a quarterly basis, secured in parity by certain real property and assets of the Company. The outstanding balance is net of a $137,000 unamortized discount at April 30, 2003.	$ 8,707,829	$ 8,692,169

Series 2001B Recreational Facilities Revenue Bonds (RFRB), interest of 9% with a maturity date of February 2006, interest and principal payments are submitted to the trustee on a quarterly basis, secured in parity by certain real property and assets of the Company.	2,166,250	2,836,250

Note payable to a third party, interest at prime plus 1%, (5.25% at April 30, 2003); principal and interest payable in December, January, February, March and April each year with unpaid principal due on maturity, April 1, 2008. Secured by certain assets of the Company.	1,480,107	1,726,823

4. Debt (continued) 

Long-term debt consists of the following: 

	April 30
		2003		2002


Mortgage payable, interest at 8%, principal and interest payable monthly with unpaid principal due on maturity, October 1, 2016 Secured by the underlying real estate.		$ 462,313		$ 480,632
Capital lease obligations at interest rates ranging from 6.9% to 10.7%.		188,051		256,451

Total debt		13,004,550		13,992,325
Less current portion		1,104,797		1,017,451

Long-term portion of debt	$	11,899,753	$	12,974,874

The RFRB agreements include various covenants and restrictions, the most restrictive of which relates to limits on the payment of dividends, capital expenditures, financial ratios, and the incurrence or guarantee of additional debt. Additionally, the Company must engage an independent consultant to make recommendations with respect to pricing and charges if Net Cash Flow, as defined, of the Company in any fiscal year is less than 115% of the principal and interest on all outstanding bonds, purchase money debt, and additional indebtedness which become due in such fiscal year. The cash flows for the year ended April 30, 2003, totaled less than 115%; therefore, an independent consultant was engaged to evaluate the Company’s pricing structure. The independent consultant’s report was delivered to the trustee of the bondholders, which concluded that the Company was not in violation of the restrictive covenant. 

The Company finances a portion of its machinery and equipment under capital lease obligations at interest rates ranging from 6.9% to 10.7%. Amortization of assets recorded under capital leases is included in depreciation expense.

Line of Credit 

The Company maintains a $3.5 million seasonal line of credit with a local bank. Interest on the line is accrued at prime plus 1% (5.25% at April 30, 2003) and paid monthly. The line must be paid to zero for 30 days each annual period. The line matures each August, at which time it automatically renews unless terminated by either party. Senior collateral for the line consists of the 30,000 square foot commercial space in the Village Center building and certain real property and assets of the Company on parity with the municipal bond indebtedness. As of April 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company’s outstanding balance under its seasonal line of credit totaled approximately $725,000 and $126,000, respectively. 

5. Commitments and Contingencies 

During the normal course of its operations, the Resort has been named a defendant in several ski-related lawsuits that the Company and its insurance carriers are actively contesting. In management’s opinion, the outcome of these disputes, net of insurance recoveries, will not have a significant effect on the Resort’s financial position or results of operations. 

The Resort leases office and other facilities and certain equipment under long-term operating leases. Total rent expense for all operating leases for the periods ended April 30, 2003 and 2002, was approximately $234,000 and $157,000, respectively. Aggregate future minimum rental commitments under noncancellable operating leases are as follows: 

2004	$	234,000
2005		85,000
2006		85,000

Total	$	404,000

From year to year, the Resort has executed agreements with airline companies to provide direct flights to Durango. These agreements require the Resort to guarantee specified minimum airline revenue. In 2003, the Resort only executed one guarantee agreement from Houston for which the maximum amount due under the agreement was $200,000. As of April 30, 2003, the Resort has recorded a payable of $176,000 related to this guarantee. The Resort does not plan on executing any future agreements with airline companies. 

6. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements 

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement 13, and Technical Corrections (SFAS 145). This statement rescinds SFAS 4, SFAS 44, and SFAS 64. In addition, it also amends SFAS 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS 145 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations. 

6. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued) 

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146). This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring) . This statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with earlier application encouraged. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS 146 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations. 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation– Transition and Disclosure (SFAS 148), an amendment of SFAS 123. SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require more prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock-based compensation. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. SFAS 148 will not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

9. Subsequent Events 

Subsequent to year-end on September 4, 2004, the Company agreed to the sale of all developable parcels within the 100 acres that it owns to Landco for approximately $2.2 million. The Company received a refundable $500,000 deposit (subject to a fairness appraisal) and a non-recourse promissory note bearing interest at 7% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly, with principal payments equal to at least 50% of the net sales proceeds received by Landco on the subsequent sale of the property sold. The deferred portion of the purchase price shall be secured by a first priority deed of trust on the property sold. 

On November 19, 2003, Landco paid the outstanding balance on the Entitlement Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest.

As Of May 31, 2001, 2000 And 1999 

Together With Report Of Independent Public Accountants 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS 

THIS REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS IS A COPY OF A REPORT PREVIOUSLY ISSUED BY ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP 

AND HAS NOT BEEN REISSUED BY ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP. THE INCLUSION OF THIS PREVIOUSLY ISSUED ANDERSEN REPORT IS PURSUANT 

TO THE "TEMPORARY FINAL RULE AND FINAL RULE REQUIREMENTS FOR ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP AUDITING CLIENTS", ISSUED BY THE U.S. 

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION IN MARCH 2002. NOTE THAT THIS PREVIOUSLY ISSUED ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP REPORT INCLUDES 

REFERENCES TO CERTAIN FISCAL YEARS, WHICH ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE PRESENTED IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED FINANICAL 

STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED MAY 31, 1999. 

To the Members of 

DSC/Purgatory, LLC: 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DSC/Purgatory, 

LLC (a Colorado limited liability company dba Durango Mountain Resort) as of May 

31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, 

members' capital (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2001, the 

one-month period ended May 31, 2000 (post-acquisition - see Note 1), the 

eleven-month period ended April 30, 2000 (pre-acquisition - see Note 1) and the 

year ended May 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of 

the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 

financial statements based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted 

in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 

audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are 

free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 

evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An 

audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant 

estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial 

statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis 

for our opinion. 

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company 

sold a majority voting interest effective May 1, 2000. Accordingly, the assets, 

liabilities and members' capital have been recorded to reflect the purchase 

price. The assets and liabilities were recorded based upon the estimated fair 

market values at the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the pre-acquisition and 

post-acquisition financial statements are not comparable in all material 

respects since these financial statements report the financial position, results 

of operations and cash flows on two separate accounting bases. 

In our opinion, the balance sheets and related statements of operations, 

members' capital (deficit) and cash flows as of and for the year ended May 31, 

2001, and for the one-month period ended May 31, 2000, referred to above present 

fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DSC/Purgatory, LLC 

as of May 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash 

flows for the year and one-month period then ended in conformity with accounting 

principles generally accepted in the United States. 

Also, in our opinion, the statements of operations, members' capital (deficit) 

and cash flows for the eleven-month period ended April 30, 2000, and the year 

ended May 31, 1999, referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, 

the results of operations and cash flows of DSC/Purgatory, LLC for the 

eleven-month period ended April 30, 2000, and the year ended May 31, 1999 in 

conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

(dba DURANGO MOUNTAIN RESORT) 

----------------------------- 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

------------------------------------------ 

AS OF MAY 31, 2001 AND 2000 

--------------------------- 

1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION: 

---------------------------- 

Operations and Ownership 

-------------------------- 

DSC/Purgatory, LLC is a Colorado limited liability company doing business as 

("dba") Durango Mountain Resort (the "Company"). The Company is the owner and 

operator of a resort formerly known as the Purgatory Resort which is primarily a 

ski resort. The Company also has related real estate holdings and is located 

near Durango, Colorado. As of May 31, 2001, the Company is owned by 

collectively the "Members", as follows: 

- Durango Resort, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Durango"). 

Durango owns 100% of the Class B preferred interest and 80% of the common 

interest, and the following entities which are related through common ownership 

(referred to hereinafter collectively as "Duncan"); Duncan owns 100% of the 

Class A preferred interest and 20% of the common interest, as follows: 

-          Hermosa Partners, LLP, a Colorado limited liability partnership 

("Hermosa") - 5%, 

-         Duncan Mountain, Inc. ("DMI", fka Durango Ski Corporation ("DSC")), a 

Colorado "S" corporation - 2%, and 

-         T-H Land Company, LLP, a Colorado limited liability partnership 

("T-H Land") - 13%. 

Purchase Transaction 

--------------------- 

As part of the purchase agreement among the Members, dated November 24, 1999, 

(the "Purchase Transaction") effective May 1, 2000, Durango acquired 80% of the 

common interest of the Company and committed to acquire $6 million of Class B 

preferred interests of the Company, of which $3 million cash was received as of 

May 31, 2000 and $3 million was received during the year ended May 31, 2001. 

During the year ended May 31, 2001, Durango and Duncan contributed to the 

Company an additional $302,400 and $201,600, respectively, to pay for the 

respective share of costs associated with planning for the real estate 

development. In addition, as part of the Purchase Transaction, Duncan converted 

approximately $9 million of debt and related interest and contributed commercial 

real estate holdings located at the base of the ski resort valued at 

approximately $6 million. The Purchase Transaction was accounted for under the 

purchase method of accounting and the financial statements have been adjusted to 

reflect the acquisition cost of Durango based upon the estimated fair value of 

the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As a result, the assets and 

liabilities were recorded at the estimated fair value as of May 1, 2000. 

In conjunction with the Purchase Transaction, the following assets were 

contributed and liabilities assumed by the Members: 

Fair value of assets acquired                      $ 25,600,607 

Contribution receivable                                   3,000,000 

Fair value of liabilities assumed                   (15,100,607) 

                                                                            --------------- 

Net assets acquired                                      $ 13,500,000 

                                                                       ============= 

Durango                                                        $ 6,000,000 

Duncan                                                            7,500,000 

                                                                         --------------- 

Net assets acquired                                     $ 13,500,000 

                                                                      ============= 

As a result of the Purchase Transaction and the related purchase accounting 

adjustments, the results of operations and the financial position of the Company 

are not comparable between pre- and post-acquisition periods. 

Prior to the Purchase Transaction, the Company had no employees and functioned 

under a management agreement with DSC, whereby DSC employees provided operating 

and management services to the Company in exchange for a management fee (Note 

5). In conjunction with the Purchase Transaction, the employees of DSC were 

transferred to the Company and the May 1, 1996 management agreement between the 

Company and DSC was terminated. 

Concurrent with the Purchase Transaction, Durango signed an option agreement 

with T-H Land to purchase a 51% interest in approximately 500 acres of 

unentitled real estate surrounding Purgatory Village. The option expires on May 

1, 2002. Durango and T-H Land have further agreed to share entitlement costs up 

to $500,000 incurred prior to the exercise date. These costs will be paid 60% 

by Durango and 40% by T-H Land. 

The ski resort operations of the Company have historically generated net losses 

and working capital deficits. Such losses and working capital deficits, as well 

as amounts required to fund its capital expenditures, have historically been 

funded through borrowings from related parties or through capital contributions 

from Members. Management believes that the cash contributions as well as cash 

on hand will provide adequate working capital to fund its fiscal 2002 

operations. If the estimated cash flows from operations are not achieved, 

additional capital contributions or borrowings may be necessary during fiscal 

2002. 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: 

----------------------------------------------- 

Basis of Presentation 

----------------------- 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and 

its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have 

been eliminated in consolidation. 

During the year ended May 31, 2001, the Company formed Elk Point Development, 

LLC ("Elk Point"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Elk Point is 

primarily engaged in real estate development and maintenance activities. 

During the year ended May 31, 2001, the Company and an unrelated third party 

formed Durango Mountain Realty, LLC ("Realty"), an 80% owned subsidiary of the 

Company. All profits and losses of Realty are allocated 100% to the Company, 

after deducting employment compensation of the other member. Realty is 

primarily engaged in the purchase, sale and development of real estate in the 

Durango area. 

Estimates and Assumptions 

--------------------------- 

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting 

principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make 

estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 

liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial 

statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the 

reporting period. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current 

and best available information, actual results could differ from those 

estimates. 

Allocation of Profits, Losses and Cash Distributions 

---------------------------------------------------------- 

For financial reporting purposes, the profits and losses of the Company are 

allocated to the Members based upon their respective common ownership interests. 

Under the terms of the operating agreement between the Members, if any cash 

distributions are declared, the Class A preferred interests are entitled to a 

priority cash distribution of $7,500,000, followed by the Class B preferred 

interest, which is entitled to a priority cash distribution of $6,000,000. 

After the priority distributions have been made, the Class A and Class B 

preferred interests will share pari passu distributions until each has received 

a 6% compounded, cumulative preferred return. After the priority and preferred 

distributions, any additional distributions shall be based upon the common 

ownership interests, which is 80% to Durango and 20% to Duncan. 

Inventory 

--------- 

Inventory consists primarily of retail clothing, ski equipment and food and 

beverage inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market 

value, generally using the average cost method, on a first-in, first-out basis. 

Property, Equipment and Other Assets 

---------------------------------------- 

The Company owns approximately one hundred acres of the base area land including 

approximately 35,000 square feet of commercial facilities in Purgatory Village. 

The Company also has a significant investment in ski trails, lifts and related 

assets located on land leased from the United States Forest Service ("USFS") 

under a Special Use Permit (including two restaurant facilities on USFS land 

containing an aggregate of approximately 15,000 square feet of commercial 

space). 

Property and equipment is depreciated by the Company using the straight-line 

method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: 

Asset                                                                                     Useful Lives 

----------------------------                                                            -------------- 

Buildings and improvements                                             5 to 40 years 

Ski lifts and trails                                                                 10 to 40 years 

Machinery and equipment                                                 3 to 15 years 

Special Use Permit 

-------------------- 

The Special Use Permit was previously held by DSC, as part of the Purchase 

Transaction, a new forty year Special Use Permit was issued to the Company in 

January 2000, which expires in 2039. The Special Use Permit is included in 

other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2001 

at $1,178,000, net of accumulated amortization. 

Deferred Loan Costs 

--------------------- 

Costs and fees incurred in connection with the financing activities of the 

Company have been capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense over 

the terms of the related loans. Deferred loan costs of $318,000 and $172,000, 

net of accumulated amortization, are included in other assets in the 

accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of May 31, 2001 and 2000, 

respectively. 

Accrued Expenses 

----------------- 

Obligations of the Company are accrued as incurred. Included in accrued 

expenses are: 

                                                                         2001                                 2000

                                                                       -------------                          ---------- 

Total accrued expenses                            $ 1,192,000                         $1,145,000 

                                                                ==============               ========== 

Revenue Recognition 

-------------------- 

Resort revenues are derived from a wide variety of sources, including sales of 

lift tickets, ski school tuition, dining, retail stores, equipment rentals, 

hotel management operations, travel reservation commissions, and commercial 

property rentals, and are recognized as services are performed. 

Deferred Revenue 

----------------- 

The Company records deferred revenue related to the sale of season ski passes 

and certain daily lift ticket products. The number of season pass holder visits 

is estimated based on historical data, and the deferred revenue is recognized 

throughout the season based on this estimate. During the ski season the 

estimated visits are compared to the actual visits and adjustments are made if 

necessary. 

Income Taxes 

------------- 

As the Company is a limited liability company, the income tax results and 

activities flow directly to, and are the responsibility of the Members. As a 

result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect a 

provision for federal or state income taxes. 

Statements of Cash Flows 

--------------------------- 

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of 

three months or less to be cash equivalents. 

Asset Impairment 

----------------- 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or 

changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived 

assets may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets which are held and used in 

operations, the long-lived asset would be impaired if the undiscounted future 

cash flows related to the long-lived asset did not exceed net book value. The 

amount of the impairment would then be determined by discounting the cash flows 

or by using some other measure of fair value. 

Capitalization Policies 

------------------------ 

Capitalized development costs include costs associated with the development of 

land, interest expense and property taxes on land under development and general 

and administrative expenses to the extent they benefit the development of land. 

Interest expense of $37,000 has been capitalized by the Company during fiscal 

2001. No interest was capitalized relating to the development of land during 

fiscal 2000. 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

--------------------------------------- 

The recorded amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other 

current assets, and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current 

liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these 

financial instruments. The fair value of the Company's notes payable 

approximates fair value due to the variable nature of the interest rate 

associated with that debt. The fair value of the Company's bonds approximate 

fair value at May 31, 2000, due to the premium assigned to the bonds on May 1, 

2000 associated with the Purchase Transaction. The fair value of the Company's 

bonds at May 31, 2001 has been estimated using discounted cash flow analyses 

based on current borrowing rates for debt with similar maturities and ratings. 

The estimated fair value of the bonds at May 31, 2001 is presented below: 

May 31, 2001 

    --------------------- 

Carrying                                                     Fair 

Value                                                          Value 

-------------------------------------- 

Bonds, including unamortized premium   $8,984,000    $9,078,000 

Earnings Per Share 

-------------------- 

Due to the Company's capital structure, the presentation of net income or loss 

per share is not considered meaningful and has not been presented herein. 

New Accounting Pronouncements 

------------------------------- 

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for 

the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS 

No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and For Long-Lived 

Assets to be Disposed of." SFAS No. 121 did not address the accounting for a 

segment of a business accounted for as a discontinued operation which resulted 

in two accounting models for long-lived assets to be disposed of. SFAS No. 144, 

establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by 

sale and requires that those long-lived assets be measured at the lower of 

carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing 

operations or in discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal 

years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company does not believe that the 

adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have a material impact on its financial position 

or results of operations. 

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 

142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". These statements prohibit 

pooling-of-interests accounting for transactions initiated after June 30, 2001, 

require the use of the purchase method of accounting for all combinations after 

June 30, 2001, and establish new standards for accounting for goodwill and other 

intangibles acquired in business combinations. Goodwill will continue to be 

recognized as an asset, but will not be amortized as previously required by APB 

Opinion No. 17 "Intangible Assets." Certain other intangible assets with 

indefinite lives, if present, may also not be amortized. Instead, goodwill and 

other intangible assets will be subject to periodic (at least annual) tests for 

impairment and recognition of impairment losses in the future could be required 

based on a fair value approach as prescribed by these pronouncements. The 

revised standards include transition rules and requirements for identification, 

valuation and recognition of a much broader list of intangibles as part of 

business combinations than prior practice, most of which will continue to be 

amortized. The Company will adopt the following standard on June 1, 2002 and 

does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 will have a 

material impact on its financial position or results of operation. 

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement 

Obligations". SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for 

obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the 

associated asset retirement costs. It applies to legal obligations associated 

with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, 

construction, development and (or) the normal operations of a long-lived asset, 

except for certain obligations of leases. SFAS No. 143 is effective for 

financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The 

Company has not assessed the impact of adopting SFAS No. 143 on its financial 

position or results of operations. 

In December 1999, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued its 

Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition." SAB No. 101 

provides guidance on the measurement and timing of revenue recognition in 

financial statements of public companies. The adoption of SAB No. 101 did not 

have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of 

operations. 

The FASB has issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and 

Hedging Activities," as subsequently amended by SFAS No. 137. SFAS No. 133 

requires that companies recognize all derivatives as either assets or 

liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. Under SFAS No. 133, accounting 

for changes in fair value of a derivative depends on its intended use and 

designation. SFAS No. 133 as amended by SFAS No. 137 was adopted in the first 

quarter of fiscal year 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 as amended by SFAS 

No. 137 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or 

results of operations. 

Reclassifications 

----------------- 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current 

year presentation. 

3. RESTRICTED CASH AND INVESTMENTS: 

----------------------------------- 

The Company maintains reserve funds to secure future bond service obligations as 

required under the bond agreements. Amounts on deposit in the reserve funds 

will be transferred to the bond trustee, as needed, to cover any deficiencies in 

required bond service payments. Reserve funds held are invested in U.S. 

Governmental Securities. The Company has the positive intent and ability to 

hold all of its investment securities to maturity and does not engage in trading 

or sales activity relating to these investments. These investments are 

classified as held to maturity and are recorded at amortized cost, which 

approximates their fair value. 

Other amounts held as current restricted cash represent reserves required under 

various insurance and purchase contracts.

5. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT: 

---------------------- 

DSC entered into a management agreement with the Company effective May 1, 1996 

that was terminated on April 30, 2000 in connection with the Purchase 

Transaction discussed in Note 1. Under the terms of the management agreement, 

DSC was responsible for operating, managing and maintaining the resort as a 

full-service ski and summer destination resort. The Company was required to 

reimburse DSC for the total compensation and employment related expenses of any 

DSC employee who performed services under the agreement. Also, the Company 

reimbursed DSC for amounts used to purchase and maintain equipment and supplies 

to be utilized by the resort up to a budgeted amount. The total amount 

reimbursed to DSC was $5,536,774 and $6,096,095 for the eleven-month period 

ended April 30, 2000 and the year ended May 31, 1999, respectively, and has been 

allocated to the various expense categories in the statements of operations

DSC was also entitled to a management fee from 2% to 5% of earnings before 

interest, income taxes, depreciation (and amortization), ("EBITDA") based on 

annual budget versus actual EBITDA, provided that actual EBITDA is at least 100% 

of budget. No such amounts were earned for the eleven-month period ended April 

30, 2000 or the year ended May 31, 1999. 

6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS: 

----------------------------- 

The Company leased land, retail sales locations and equipment from certain 

affiliates prior to the Purchase Transaction. In connection with the Purchase 

Transaction the leased land, retail sales locations and equipment were 

contributed to the Company (Note 1). Lease payments made by the Company totaled 

approximately $101,000 and $320,000 for the eleven-month period ended April 30, 

2000 and the year ended May 31, 1999, respectively. 

Insurance coverage is purchased through an insurance agency in which Duncan has 

a financial interest. Payments under such insurance contracts were 

approximately $222,000, $3,000, $188,000 and $160,000 for the year ended May 31, 

2001, the one-month period ended May 31, 2000, the eleven-month period ended 

April 30, 2000, and the year ended May 31, 1999, respectively. 

During the year ended May 31, 2001, the Company repaid the note payable to 

Duncan in the amount of $2,500,000. The Company also paid interest of $216,000 

to Duncan associated with this note payable. 

As of May 31, 2001 and 2000, certain affiliates of the Members owed the Company 

approximately $162,000 and $124,000, respectively, for services provided, which 

is included in accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance 

sheets. In addition, the Company owed certain affiliates 

approximately $121,000 and $115,000, as of May 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively,

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: 

--------------------------------------- 

During the normal course of its operations, the Company is a defendant in 

several ski-related lawsuits which the Company and its insurance carriers are 

actively contesting. In management's opinion, the outcome of these disputes, 

net of insurance recoveries will not have a significant effect on the Company's 

financial position or results of operations. 

The Company finances a portion of its machinery and equipment under capital 

lease obligations at interest rates ranging from 6.9% to 10.7%. The future 

minimum lease payments under capitalized lease obligations at May 31, 2001 are 

as follows:
