ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, (the financial statements), include
all
adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to summarize
fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations. The results
of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year or any
other interim period. The information included in this Form 10-QSB should be
read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis and restated
Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31,

Forms 8K and 8-K/A filings.
NOTE
B - REVENUE RECOGNITION
American
Leisure recognizes revenues on the accrual method of accounting. For the sales
of units on the Orlando property and other property sales, revenues will be
recognized upon the Orlando property and other property sales, upon the close
of
escrow for the sales of its real estate.
Revenues
from travel, call center and other segments are recognized as earned, which
is
primarily at the time of delivery of the related service, publication or
promotional material. Costs associated with the current period are expensed
as
incurred; those costs associated with future periods are deferred.
Costs
associated with the acquisition and development, architectural and engineering
costs of vacation resorts, including carrying costs such as interest and taxes,
are capitalized as land held for development and will be allocated to cost
of
real estate sold as the respective revenues are recognized.
NOTE
C – LAND HELD FOR DEVELOPMENT
American
Leisure is developing a 972-unit resort in Orlando, Florida on 122 acres of
undeveloped land. Pre-construction sales commenced in February
2004.
As
of
June 30, 2007, Xpress, Ltd., a related party, see Note E, has pre-sold
approximately 600 vacation homes in a combination of contracts on town homes
and
reservations on condominiums for a total sales volume of approximately $236
million. In connection with the sales, the Company has received deposits
totaling approximately $38,020,000 and has prepaid sales commissions and
advances to various brokers and agents of approximately $10,377,000 and has
prepaid sales commissions of approximately $3,539,000 to Xpress, Ltd., a related
party.
On
January 11, 2006, the Company sold 42 acres in the Sonesta Resort for $9,090,130
to the District and an additional $4,039,116 in connection with reimbursements
for site improvements.
The
land
sold to the District will be used for public infrastructure for the Sonesta
Resort, including the creation of roads and for water collection.
The
Boulevard Hotel property located in Miami Beach, Florida is undergoing
remodeling and refurbishing to convert the property into a timeshare facility.
As of June 30, 2007, $4,079,194 has been incurred in the remodeling and
refurbishment and, as of December 31, 2006, $3,405,418 has been
incurred.
Land
held
for development includes the initial cost of acquisition of the land and all
subsequent capitalized construction and development costs.
Construction
and development costs include all expenditures incurred in readying certain
construction and development related assets of the Company for their intended
use. These expenditures consist of direct costs such as land, financing costs,
interest, legal fees, consulting fees, surveying, engineering, architects,
contractors, real estate taxes, permits, licenses, fees, insurance, photos,
copies, printing, general and administrative, and sales and marketing
costs.
Interest
costs are capitalized during the capitalization period, which commences when
i)
expenditures for the asset have been made, ii) activities that are necessary
to
get the asset ready for its intended use are in progress, and iii) interest
cost
is being incurred, and continues as long as these three conditions are present.
The amount capitalized in an accounting period shall be determined by applying
an interest rate(s) (the “capitalization rate") to the average amount of
accumulated expenditures for the asset during the period. The capitalization
rates are based on the rates applicable to borrowings, both directly and
indirectly associated with the subject asset, outstanding during the
period.
All
capitalized construction costs are subject to write-down inasmuch as the
Company’s construction and development assets are carried at the lower of cost
or net realizable value.
The
Company defers costs directly relating to the acquisition of new properties
and
resort businesses that, in management's judgment, have a high probability of
closing. If the acquisition is abandoned, any deferred costs are expensed
immediately. These costs are capitalized as land held for development upon
closing.

In
December 2004, FASB issued a revision to SFAS 123 (also known as SFAS 123R)
that
amends existing accounting pronouncements for share-based payment transactions
in which an enterprise receives employee and certain non-employee services
in
exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that
are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that
may
be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS 123R eliminates
the
ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25 and
generally requires such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based
method. SFAS 123R's effective date would be applicable for awards that are
granted, modified, become vested, or settled in cash in interim or annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2005. SFAS 123R includes three transition
methods: a prospective method, a modified prospective method and a retroactive
method. The Company adopted SFAS 123R in the first quarter of the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2006.
In
accordance with SFAS No. 123R we have recorded approximately $158,400 as stock
based compensation under the fair value method for the six months ended June
30,
2007. The proforma stock based compensation under the fair value method for
the
six months ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $110,000.
The
fair
value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free
rate of 3.5%; volatility of 185% for 2007 and 120% for 2006 with no assumed
dividend yield; and expected lives of five years.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2007 the Company did not issue warrants to
executives as shares for services. However, 1,330,500 warrants were
issued to Malcolm right for debt guarantees related to the acquisition of land
held for development during the six months ended June 30,
2007. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company issued
200,000 warrants to two executives of the Company (100,000 to Michael Crosbie
as
Corporate General Counsel, Executive Vice President and Secretary of the Company
and 100,000 to Jeff Scott as President of Hickory Travel Services); for each
executive, 50,000 were immediately vested and the other 50,000 will vest in
equal amounts in the next two years. In addition, 450,000 warrants were issued
to Malcolm Wright for debt guarantees related to the acquisition of land held
for development during the six months ended June 30, 2006. As
noted in Note E above, in June 2006, 355,000 warrants were issued to Stanford
International Bank Ltd. to replace the equity conversion
feature that was to expire on April 30, 2007, of an outstanding loan with
Stanford International Bank Limited.
As
of
June 30, 2007, there are 6,807,746 warrants outstanding to officers and
directors and 4,081,000 warrants outstanding to third parties for a total
outstanding of 10,888,746.

Effective
June 30, 2006, we sold our subsidiary, Caribbean Leisure Marketing Limited
("CLM"), to Stanford International Bank Limited ("SIBL") under a stock purchase
agreement. SIBL was expanding their call center business in the Caribbean and
CLM would provide them with both synergies and effective economies of scale
(in
terms of operations and sales force) for expansion into other markets. In
connection with the agreement, SIBL exchanged the following debts which we
owed
to SIBL: a $1,250,000 promissory note and accrued interest thereon through
June
30, 2006; a $2,100,000 promissory note and accrued interest thereon through
June
30, 2006; all accrued and unpaid interest on our $6,000,000 note with SIBL
as of
June 30, 2006; all accrued and unpaid interest on our $3,000,000 promissory
note
payable to SIBL as of June 30, 2006; $220,652 of the $331,178 of accrued
interest on our $8,000,000 promissory note payable to SIBL, and all accrued
fees
on our $6,000,000 letter of credit, which SIBL agreed to guaranty in connection
with the KeyBank loans.
Certain
amounts in the 2006 financial statements have been reclassified to conform
to
the 2007 financial statement presentation.
American
Leisure Holdings, Inc., has restated the financial statements for the three
and
six months ended June 30, 2006, to include gross revenues and expenses for
the
TraveLeaders business interests acquired from Around the World Travel on
December 31, 2004, which business assets and interests were thereupon combined
with American Leisure. The revenues and expenses were previously reported
on a
net basis in connection with the terms of the Management Agreement pursuant
to
which AWT acted as the manager. As such, AWT was responsible for such
TraveLeaders revenues and related expenses. The entitlement of American Leisure
in relation to TraveLeaders and the combined business interests was an
entitlement to a net operating result pursuant to the Management Agreement.
Therefore, the restated financial statements do not involve any change to
the cash flow, net income or balance sheet of American Leisure.
The
restatement for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is as follows:

NOTE
M - CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
In
the
ordinary course of its business, the Company may from time to time become
subject to claims or proceedings relating to the purchase, subdivision, sale
and/or financing of its real estate or its operations. The Company believes
that
substantially all of the above are incidental to its business.
We
are a
party in an action that was filed in Orange County, Florida and styled as Rock
Investment Trust, P.L.C. and RIT, L.L.C. vs. Malcolm J. Wright, American
Vacation Resorts, Inc., American Leisure, Inc., Inversora Tetuan, S.A., Sunstone
Golf Resort, Inc., and Sun Gate Resort Villas, Inc., Case No. CIO-01-4874,
Ninth
Judicial Circuit, Orange County, Florida. In June, 2001, after almost 2 years
from receiving notice from Malcolm Wright that one Mr. Roger Smee, doing
business under the names Rock Investment Trust, PLC (a British limited company)
and RIT, LLC (a Florida limited liability company) (collectively, the Smee
Entities) had defaulted under various agreements to loan or to joint venture
or
to fund investment into various real estate enterprises founded by Mr. Wright,
the Smee Entities brought the Lawsuit against Mr. Wright, American Leisure,
Inc.
(ALI) and several other entities. The gravamen of the initial complaint is
that
the Smee Entities made financial advances to Wright with some expectation of
participation in a Wright real estate enterprise. In general, the suit requests
either a return of the Smee Entities alleged advances of $500,000 or an
undefined ownership interest in one or more of the defendant entities. Mr.
Wright, American Leisure, Inc., and Inversora Tetuan, S.A., have filed a
counterclaim and cross complaint against the Smee Entities and Mr. Smee denying
the claims and such damages in the amount of $10 million. If the court rules
that Mr. Wright is liable under his guarantee of the American Leisure, Inc.
obligation to Smee, it is believed that such a ruling would not directly affect
American Leisure Holdings, Inc. The litigation is in the discovery phase and
is
not currently set for trial. We have been advised by our attorneys in this
matter that Mr. Wrights position on the facts and the law is stronger than
the
positions asserted by the Smee Entities.
In
March
2004, Manuel Sanchez and Luis Vanegas as plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against
American Leisure Holdings, Inc. American Access Corporation, Hickory Travel
Systems, Inc., Malcolm J. Wright and L. William Chiles, et al., seeking a claim
for securities fraud, violation of Florida Securities and Investor Protection
Act, breach of their employment contracts, and claims for fraudulent inducement.
All defendants have denied all claims and have a counterclaim against Manuel
Sanchez and Luis Vanegas for damages. The litigation commenced in March 2004
and
will shortly enter the discovery phase and is not currently set for trial.
We
believe that Manuel Sanchez
and Luis Vanegas claims are without merit and the claims are not material to
us.
We intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
On
March
30, 2004, Malcolm Wright, was individually named as a third-party defendant
in
the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, under the
caption: Cahnman v. Travelbyus, et al. On July 23, 2004, the primary plaintiffs
filed a motion to amend their complaint to add direct claims against our
subsidiary, American Leisure as well as Mr. Wright. On August 4, 2004, the
plaintiffs withdrew that motion and have not asserted or threatened any direct
claims against American Leisure, Mr. Wright or us.
In
early
May 2004, Around The World Travel, Inc. substantially all of the assets of
which
we purchased, filed a lawsuit in the Miami-Dade Florida Circuit Court against
Seamless Technologies, Inc. and e-TraveLeaders, Inc. alleging breach of contract
and seeking relief that includes monetary damages and termination of the
contracts. They were granted leave to intervene as plaintiffs in the original
lawsuits against Seamless and e-TraveLeaders. On June 28, 2004, the above named
defendants brought suit against Around The World Travel and American Leisure
Holdings, Inc. in an action styled Seamless Technologies, Inc. et al. v. Keith
St. Clair et al. This suit alleges that Around The World Travel has breached
the
contracts and also that American Leisure Holdings, Inc. and Around The World
Travels Chief Executive Officer were complicit with certain officers and
directors of Around The World Travel in securing ownership of certain assets
for
American Leisure Holdings, Inc. that were alleged to have been a business
opportunity for Around The World Travel. This lawsuit involves allegations
of
fraud against Malcolm J. Wright. The lawsuit filed by Seamless has been abated
and consolidated with the original lawsuit filed by Around The World Travel.
In
a related matter, Seamlesss attorneys brought another action entitled Peter
Hairston v. Keith St. Clair et al. This suit mimics the misappropriation of
business opportunity claim, but it is framed within a shareholder derivative
action. The relief sought against American Leisure Holdings, Inc. includes
monetary damages and litigation costs. We intend to vigorously support the
original litigation filed against Seamless and defend the counterclaim and
allegations against us. On February 9, 2007, the court heard
AMLH, ALEC, and Mr. Wright’s motion to dismiss the various counts of the
complaint. The court dismissed with prejudice the E-Traveleaders /
Seamless claims for rescission, constructive trust, and civil conspiracy.
It dismissed without prejudice the claims for tortuous interference and priority
as against TraveLeaders, and allowed the breach of contract claims to
continue. We believe that with further discovery, the court will dismiss
or grant to AMLH, ALEC, and Mr. Wright summary judgment on all remaining or
repleaded counts.
On
May 4,
2005, Simon Hassine, along with members of his family, filed a lawsuit against
us and Around The World Travel in the Circuit Court of Dade County, Florida,
Civil Division, Case Number 05-09137CA. The plaintiffs are the former majority
shareholders of Around The World Travel and former owners of the assets of
TraveLeaders. The plaintiffs allege that that they have not been paid for i)
a
subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $3,550,000 plus interest
on such note which they allege was issued to them by Around The World Travel
in
connection with their sale of 88% of the common stock of Around The World
Travel; and ii) subordinated undistributed retained earnings and accrued bonuses
in an aggregate amount of $1,108,806 which they allege were due to them as
part
of the sale. The plaintiffs allege that the note was issued to them net of
$450,000 of preferred stock of Around The World Travel that they further allege
they never received. The plaintiffs also allege that in December 2004 they
entered into a settlement agreement with the Company regarding these matters.
The plaintiffs are pursuing a claim of breach of the alleged settlement
agreement with damages in excess of $1,000,000, interest and costs as well
as
performance under the alleged settlement agreement or, in the alternative,
a
declaratory judgment that the promissory note, undistributed retained earnings
and accrued bonuses are not subordinated to the Galileo Debt and full payment
of
the promissory
note, undistributed retained earnings and accrued bonuses plus prejudgment
interest, stated interest on the note, costs and reasonable attorneys fees.
The
plaintiffs are also pursuing a claim for breach of contract regarding the
preferred stock of Around The World Travel and seeking $450,000 plus interest,
costs and reasonable attorneys fees. The plaintiffs are also pursuing claims
of
fraudulent transfer regarding our acquisition of interests in the debt and
equity of Around The World Travel and seeking unspecified
amounts. Our counsel filed various motions including a motion to
dismiss the complaint in its entirety as against us and Malcolm J. Wright due
to
the failure by the plaintiffs to comply with a provision in the underlying
document that grants exclusive jurisdiction to the courts located in Cook
County, Illinois. The parties are currently in discussions regarding
a cessation of the litigation while the plaintiffs seek relief from unrelated
parties.
On
August
10, 2006, Patsy Berman and Berman Mortgage Corporation served a complaint
against Tierra del Sol Resort, Inc., Malcolm Wright, our Chief Executive Officer
and Chairman, and a non-existent entity, Vantage Circa 39 Condotel Limited
Partnership ("Vantage"), in the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade
County, Florida. The complaint alleges that Tierra del Sol and Vantage sought
loans, that the plaintiffs offered to make loans, that Mr. Wright guaranteed
the
loans, that valid contracts were formed, and that because such loans did not
close, the plaintiffs claim $3,550,000 in damages, representing funding fees,
brokerage fees, and interest. We have concluded that the plaintiffs' complaint
is wholly frivolous. We filed a Motion to Dismiss and a Motion for
sanctions against the plaintiffs of the lawsuit, for failure to state a good
faith claim in law or fact and the court granted the motion to dismiss without
prejudice. Berman filed an amended complaint, and we responded with
another motion to dismiss and motion to strike the request for a jury
trial. The motions will be heard by the court in May
2007.
Lufthansa
City Center, et al v. Hickory Travel Systems, Inc. LCC has sued for Breach
of Contract or, alternatively, Breach of a Settlement Agreement. Hickory
and LCC entered an agreement whereby LCC would exclusively use Hickory’s hotel
program and Hickory would pay $110,000 per year to LCC. LCC did not bring
the promised value to the deal. Additionally, LCC entered an agreement
with a competitor for hotel services prior to termination of the
agreement. Hickory vigorously disputes the allegations in the complaint
and intends to counterclaim to recoup the damages from LCC’s breach of the
agreement.
On
or
about July 11, 2007, Costa Blanca Real Estate, Inc., Tierra Del Sol Resort,
Inc., our wholly owned subsidiaries and one of our former employees, were served
with a complaint filed in the Circuit Court of the Tenth Judicial Circuit in
and
for Polk County, Florida (the “Complaint”). The Complaint filed by
David A. and Sandra P. Clayton (the “Claytons”), relates to a townhome and a
condominium sold by us to the Claytons in August 2004. The Complaint
alleges, among other things, causes for breach of contract, fraud in the
inducement of the contract, violations of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair
Trade
Practices Act, and civil conspiracy. We intend to vigorously defend
the lawsuit.
On
or
about August 3, 2007, Brian Hannon sued Tierra del Sol Resort, Inc., in the
United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The
suit alleges breach of contract and violation of regulations regarding the
sale
of real estate. We deny the allegations and intend to vigorously
defend the lawsuit.
On
or
about August 9, 2007, American Leisure Holdings, Inc., American Leisure Equities
Corporation, and Around the World Travel, Inc. were sued in the Northern
District of Illinois by Apollo Galileo USA Partnership. The complaint
mistakenly asserts that we assumed the liabilities from Around the World Travel
as part of our acquisition of substantially all of the assets, and seeks to
recover on a 2003 contract between Apollo Galileo and Around the World
Travel. We
intend to seek dismissal of the complaint and sanctions pursuant to Rule 11,
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
In
the
ordinary course of our business, we may from time to time become subject to
routine litigation or administrative proceedings, which are incidental to our
business.
We

NOTE
N - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In
July
2007 an additional $1 million was advanced from Central Florida Ventures, LLC
for a total of advances of $5 million towards a loan facility of $10 million
which is expected to be completed in August 2007.
On
August
13, 2007, American Leisure Group, Ltd., a company incorporated in the British
Virgin Islands (“ALG”) began trading on the AIM market operated by the London
Stock Exchange in London, England (the “Admission”).
The
Admission triggered the effectiveness of certain Share Exchange and Share
Purchase Agreements and certain Preferred Share Purchase Agreements relating
to
shares of common and preferred stock of American Leisure Holdings, Inc. (the
“Company’), including agreements to sell shares of entities held by trusts for
the families of Roger Maddock and Malcolm Wright (an executive director of
the
Company) which directly or indirectly hold a significant portion of the
outstanding shares of stock in the Company, in consideration for, among other
things, certain cash amounts and the repayment of certain debt
obligations.
Additionally,
two groups of our significant shareholders, including several of our officers
and Directors, and certain of our other preferred shareholders closed Share
Exchange Agreements and Preferred Share Purchase Agreements with ALG, whereby
such shareholders exchanged shares of our issued common stock for shares of
ALG and sold shares of our issued preferred stock for cash, the result of which
transactions was that ALG will hold, directly or indirectly, more than 90%
of
our common and preferred stock .
The
officers and Directors of ALG include our Chief Executive Officer, Malcolm
J.
Wright, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of ALG, our President, Fredrick
Pauzar, who is the Director of Corporate Development of ALG, our Chief Financial
Officer, Omar Jimenez, who is also employed by ALG, Jeffrey Scott, the President
of Hickory Travel Services, a subsidiary of the Company, and an employee of
ALG, and Roger Maddock, a former significant shareholder of the
Company (prior to Admission and the effective date of the Share Exchange
Agreements) who is a non-executive Director of ALG.
In
connection with the Admission of ALG, ALG raised $75 million GBP (approximately
$150,000,000 US dollars) before expenses, of which it is currently anticipated
that US $44 million will be loaned to the company and used for the development
of amenities at our Sonesta Resort.

Business
Development
We
were
incorporated in Nevada in June 2000 as "Freewillpc.com, Inc.," and until June
2002, operated as a web-based retailer of built-to-order personal computers
and
brand name related peripherals, software, accessories and networking products.
In June 2002, we acquired American Leisure Corporation, Inc. ("American Leisure
Corporation"), in a reverse merger (discussed below). We re-designed and
structured our business to own, control and direct a series of companies in
the
travel and tourism industries so that we can achieve vertical and horizontal
integration in the sourcing and delivery of corporate and leisure travel
services and offerings.
On
June
14, 2002, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with the former
stockholders of American Leisure Corporation, in connection with the acquisition
of American Leisure Corporation, pursuant to which we issued the former
stockholders of American Leisure Corporation 4,893,974 shares of our common
stock and 880,000 shares of our Series A preferred stock having 10 votes per
share. As part of this transaction, Vyrtex Limited, a UK company, which owned
3,830,000 shares of our common stock, surrendered 3,791,700 of the 3,830,000
shares owned by them. The transaction was treated as a reverse merger and a
re-capitalization of American Leisure Corporation, which was considered the
accounting acquirer. The operations of Freewillpc.com prior to the transaction
were not carried over and were adjusted to $0. Effective July 24, 2002, we
changed our name to American Leisure Holdings, Inc.
In
addition to the Company's establishment and continuing operation of a Travel
Division, we have established a Resort Properties Division and related leisure
and travel support operations. Through our various subsidiaries, we manage
and
distribute travel services; develop, sell and will manage travel destination
resorts and vacation home properties; and develop and operate affinity-based
travel clubs. Further, we owned and operated a call center in Antigua-Barbuda,
which call center business was sold effective June 30, 2006. Our
businesses are intended to complement each other and to enhance Company revenues
by exploiting consumer cross-marketing opportunities. We intend to take
advantage of the synergies between the distribution of travel services and
the
creation, marketing, sale and management of vacation home ownership and travel
destination resorts. In connection with our development of vacation homes we
will also buy and sell parcels of undeveloped land.
On
October 1, 2003, we acquired a 50.83% majority interest in Hickory Travel
Systems, Inc. ("Hickory" or “HTS") as the key element of our Travel Division.
Hickory is a travel management service organization that serves its
network/consortium of approximately 160 well-established travel agency members,
comprised of over 3,000 travel agents worldwide serving corporate and leisure
travelers. We intend to complement other Company businesses through the use
of
Hickory's 24-hour reservation services, international
rate desk services, discount hotel programs, preferred supplier discounts,
commission enhancement programs, marketing services, professional services,
technologies, and information exchange.
In
December 2004, Caribbean Leisure Marketing, Ltd. ("Caribbean Leisure
Marketing"), our former wholly owned subsidiary that was focused on
telecommunications, entered into a joint venture with IMA Antigua, Ltd. to
operate a call center in Antigua that Caribbean Leisure Marketing owns. The
joint venture was operated through Caribbean Media Group, Ltd., an international
business corporation formed under the laws of Barbados. On June 30, 2006,
pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (described in greater detail below),
the
call center operations and Caribbean Leisure Marketing were sold to Stanford
International Bank Limited (a significant shareholder and creditor of the
Company).
On
December 31, 2004, American Leisure Equities Corporation ("ALEC"), one of our
wholly owned subsidiaries, acquired substantially all of the assets of Around
The World Travel, Inc. ("Around The World Travel" or "AWT") which included
all
of the tangible and intangible assets necessary to operate the business
including the business name "TraveLeaders". We engaged Around The World Travel
to manage the assets and granted Around The World Travel a license to use the
name "TraveLeaders." TraveLeaders is a fully-integrated travel agency and travel
services distribution business that provides its clients with a comprehensive
range of business and vacation travel services including corporate travel
management, leisure sales, special events and incentive planning. TraveLeaders
is based in Coral Gables, Florida. Effective on August 1, 2006, the Management
Agreement and the License Agreement with AWT were terminated by ALEC which,
effective on that date, began directly managing the travel business assets
and
operations of TraveLeaders.
Except
as
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, "we," "our,"
or
"us" means American Leisure Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Business
Integration
Our
mission is to remain focused on the development, sale and management of vacation
travel destination resorts. As such we have completed the planning and begun
the
initial stages of the construction of "The Sonesta Orlando Resort at Tierra
Del
Sol" (the "Sonesta Resort"), a planned 972-unit vacation home resort located
just 10 miles from Walt Disney World, in Orlando, Florida. Additionally, we
are
in the planning stages of developing our Reedy Creek Property, which is situated
in the northwest section of Osceola County, Florida about one mile from the
"Maingate" entrance to Walt Disney World, Orlando and approximately one-half
mile from the south entrance to "Disney's Animal Kingdom" theme park. The Reedy
Creek Property consists of three parcels totaling over 40 gross acres with
approximately 29 acres of buildable land. The Ready Creek Property is currently
planned to consist of approximately 522 residential units consisting of mid-rise
condominium buildings.
Though
"Developments of Regional Impact" (DRIs) are underway, we are seeking to
maximize property development and sales by obtaining governmental approval
for
more housing units than was initially planned at our Tierra del Sol and Reedy
Creek properties. Although there is no assurance of the additional density
that
may be achieved through the DRI process we believe that both Tierra del Sol
and
Reedy Creek may gain approval to develop as many as 859 additional units for
Tierra del Sol Resort and 678 for Reedy Creek.
Subject
to having sufficient capital and our determination of value to our shareholders,
we intend to achieve growth through selected acquisitions of real property
and
business assets and interests. Although no agreements related to such future
acquisitions have been concluded, we expect to negotiate and, subject to our
final determination as to the merits of such acquisitions(s) and the
availability of necessary capital, complete the acquisition of Florida
destination resort property holdings proximate to our existing resort
developments at initial entry prices for the developable land that may be
materially below current appraised values. Growth may be realized through our
continued creation of destination resorts, and through the prospective
acquisition of qualified, existing destination resorts, thereby creating an
extensive resort and vacation ownership network further supported by the
Company's travel services division. Our goal through such expansion would be
to
further become an integrated, "one-stop" leisure services company, seeking
to
seamlessly
provide for the development, sales, and management of and the ongoing generation
of revenue from destination resorts while offering vacation ownership and an
extensive range of travel services to an expanding customer and client base.
In
connection with our development of vacation homes we will continue to buy and
sell parcels of undeveloped land.
During
the year ended December 31, 2006, we worked to integrate the administrative
operations of Hickory and TraveLeaders to distribute, fulfill and manage our
travel services and our Resort Properties; however, the full integration of
these two divisions proved substantially harder than we originally anticipated
due to the different operating and system platforms of the two divisions, and
as
such, we have abandoned our previous plans to integrate the two divisions and
are currently evaluating the synergies and cost/benefits of continuing to
maintain the two separate divisions.
Our
business model for support between our divisions is to use the travel
distribution, fulfillment and management services of the combined resources
of
Hickory and TraveLeaders to provide consumer bookings at our planned resorts,
to
increase the rental of vacation homes that we plan to manage at these resorts,
and to fulfill the travel service needs of our affinity-based travel clubs.
We
intend to complement our other businesses through the use of Hickory's 24-hour
reservation services, international rate desk services, discount hotel programs,
preferred supplier discounts, commission enhancement programs, marketing
services, professional services, automation and information exchange.
TraveLeaders is a fully integrated travel services distribution business that
provides its clients with a comprehensive range of business and vacation travel
services in both traditional and e-commerce platforms including corporate travel
management, leisure sales, and meeting, special event and incentive planning.
TraveLeaders currently fulfills travel orders produced by our affinity travel
clubs.
Recent
Events Regarding Potential Funding and Change in Control Transactions Involving
the Company
On
August
13, 2007, American Leisure Group, Ltd., a company incorporated in the British
Virgin Islands (“ALG”) began trading on the AIM market operated by the London
Stock Exchange in London, England (the “Admission”).
The
Admission triggered the effectiveness of certain Share Exchange and Share
Purchase Agreements and certain Preferred Share Purchase Agreements relating
to
shares of common and preferred stock of the Company, including agreements to
sell shares of entities (held by trusts for the families of Roger Maddock and
Malcolm Wright (an executive director of the Company)) which directly or
indirectly hold a significant portion of the outstanding shares of stock in
the
Company, in consideration for, among other things, certain cash amounts and
the
repayment of certain debt obligations (the “Share Purchase
Agreement”).
Additionally,
two groups of our significant shareholders, including several of our officers
and Directors, and certain of our other preferred shareholders closed Share
Exchange Agreements and Preferred Share Purchase Agreements with ALG, whereby
such shareholders exchanged shares of our issued common stock for shares of
ALG
and sold shares of our issued preferred stock for cash, the result of which
transactions was that ALG will hold, directly or indirectly, more than 90%
of
our common and preferred stock (the “Share Exchange Agreements”).
The
officers and Directors of ALG include our Chief Executive Officer, Malcolm
J.
Wright, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of ALG, our President, Fredrick
Pauzar, who is the Director of Corporate Development of ALG, our Chief Financial
Officer, Omar Jimenez, who is also employed by ALG, Jeffrey Scott, the President
of Hickory Travel Services, a subsidiary of the Company, and an employee of
ALG, and Roger Maddock, a former significant shareholder of the
Company (prior to Admission and the effective date of the Share Exchange
Agreements) who is a non-executive Director of ALG.
In
connection with the Admission of ALG, ALG raised $75 million GBP (Approximately
$150,000,000 US dollars) before expenses, of which it is currently anticipated
that US $44 million will be used for the development of amenities at our Sonesta
Resort (the “Funding”).
Material
Agreements and Transactions
Sonesta
Resort Financing
On
December 29, 2005, certain affiliates of the Company closed two (2) credit
facilities with Key Bank, National Association ("KeyBank") related to the
Sonesta Resort. The credit facilities consisted of a $40,000,000 revolving
construction loan to be used to construct Phase 1 of the Sonesta Resort (the
"Construction Loan") and a $14,850,000 term loan on the Phase 2 land, the
proceeds of which were contributed to the Phase 1 partnership as equity and
used
to repay existing debt on the property and finance part of the site work of
the
property for the Resort and to pay certain related costs (the "Land
Loan").
On
July
27, 2006, we, through one of our wholly owned subsidiary companies, formally
notified KeyBank, that we elected not to open the $40,000,000 revolving credit
Construction Loan. We have however, established a relationship with GMAC Bank,
through Millennium Capital Mortgage, to provide construction financing to the
individual purchasers of the Sonesta Resort town homes, which funding we believe
will enable all town homes and amenities at Tierra del Sol to be built through
this program. Additionally, we hope to use the funds raised through
the BVI transaction described above for the construction of Phase 1 of the
Sonesta Resort, assuming such funds are received, of which there can be no
assurance.
The
borrowers under the Land Loan were Tierra Del Sol Resort (Phase 2), Ltd. (the
"Phase 2 Partnership") and other entities that are owned by the Phase 2
Partnership. The Land Loan was a $14,850,000 term loan with a maturity date
of
June 28, 2007. The proceeds of the Land Loan were primarily used to repay
existing debt of the property for the Sonesta Resort. The Land Loan previously
accrued interest at LIBOR plus 3.10% per annum, equal to approximately 8.39%
as
of May 16, 2007, with the LIBOR equal to 5.29% as of that date. The Land Loan
was repaid in full, along with accrued and unpaid interest and the required
4%
exit fee, which totaled in aggregate $15,285,000, in April 2007, in connection
with our entry into the Kennedy funding, described below under “Kennedy Loan
Funding.”
To
facilitate the financing for the Sonesta Resort, the Company formed two limited
partnerships, each of which will develop Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Resort
(the
"Development Partnerships"). Each Development Partnership has several
subsidiaries, which have been formed to develop different portions of the
Sonesta Resort. Phase 1 of the resort will also include construction of related
amenities, including a swimming pool complex and sun decks, a lazy river, a
poolside restaurant and other amenities typical of a resort of this kind. We
have completed approximately 90% of the grading and underground infrastructure
required for the Phase 1 construction to date and began vertical construction
of
the phase one town homes in January 2007. Phase 2 will include construction
of
144 additional residential condominium units and 442 additional town home units,
as well as a 126,000 square foot clubhouse (84,000 square feet under air).
Construction of Phase 2, which has not begun yet, is expected to overlap with
the construction of Phase 1. Additionally, the TDS plat has been recorded as
of
the filing of this report.
The
general partner of each Development Partnership is TDS Management LLC, a limited
liability company controlled by Malcolm J. Wright, the Company's Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer. The principal limited partner of each Development
Partnership is Tierra Del Sol Resort, Inc., which owns a 99.9% interest in
each
Development Partnership. The Company owns 100% of Tierra Del Sol Resort,
Inc.
Westridge
Community Development District Bonds
The
closing of the credit facilities with KeyBank triggered the closing of the
sale
of $25,825,000 in community development bonds issued by the Westridge Community
Development District (the "District"). The proceeds of the bonds will be used,
in part, to fund infrastructure at the Sonesta Resort and to acquire land for
public purposes from Tierra Del Sol Resort (Phase 1), Ltd. The debt service
and
retirement of these bonds will be funded by a special district tax upon the
property owners in the District at an interest rate of 5.8% over a 30-year
amortization period. Grading and infrastructure for the District are more than
90% complete as of May 2007.
SIBL
Credit Facility
On
December 29, 2005, Stanford International Bank, Ltd. ("SIBL") provided Tierra
Del Sol with financial assistance to facilitate the closings of the Land Loan
and the Construction Loan. The financial assistance consisted of a loan to
Tierra Del Sol of $2,100,000 (the "SIBL Tierra Del Sol Loan"), and the
establishment of letters of credit in favor of KeyBank in the amount of
$4,000,000 and $2,000,000, respectively (the "Letters of Credit"), which Letters
of Credit were subsequently cancelled, effective June 30, 2006. The financial
assistance provided by SIBL was evidenced by a Credit Agreement dated as of
December 29, 2005 between SIBL, Tierra Del Sol Resort, Inc. and the Company
(the
"SIBL Credit Agreement"). As consideration for the purchase of the Antiguan
call
center including our subsidiary Caribbean Leisure Marketing, Inc. (described
below), SIBL exchanged the $2,100,000 loan, as well as the accrued interest
on
such loan in the amount of $85,867.
We
estimate that the cost to complete the construction of Phase I of the Sonesta
Resort will be $136,500,000 of which $9,000,000 will be for resort amenities,
$64,000,000 will be for vertical construction on 294 units and $49,500,000
will
be for other costs such as contingencies, closing costs and soft costs such
as
architectural, engineering, and legal costs. An additional approximate amount
of
$14,000,000 will be expended for horizontal construction costs which include
all
of Phase I requirements plus most of the infrastructure requirements for the
entire Project. The $14,000,000 will be funded by the bonds proceeds held by
the
Westridge Development District and from equity reserves held by Key Bank. A
Land
Loan was also funded by Key Bank which was described above in the amount of
$14,850,000, which amount has been repaid to date. We previously had entered
into the $40,000,000 Construction Loan with KeyBank, which loan we decided
not
to open in favor of alternate, anticipated financing arrangements which we
believe will be beneficial to the timely completion of the Sonesta Resort
project. We have raised the required funding to continue the planned
construction of Phase 1 of the Sonesta Resort in connection with the Admission
and related transactions described above (the “BVI Transaction”). We believe
that we will have sufficient funds to provide for the completion of Phase 1,
assuming there are no material cost overruns, delays or further increases in
material costs. Phase 2 will be financed separately. It is anticipated that
Phase 2 construction will commence by the third or fourth quarters of
2007
In
November 2003, we entered into an exclusive sales and marketing agreement with
Xpress Ltd. ("Xpress") to sell the vacation homes in the Sonesta Resort. Malcolm
J. Wright, one of our founders and our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman,
and
members of his family are the majority shareholders of Xpress. As of
June 30, 2007, Xpress had pre-sold approximately 600 vacation homes
in a combination of contracts on town homes and reservations on condominiums
for
total sales volume of approximately $236,000,000 million.
REEDY
CREEK ACQUISITION COMPANY, LLC TRANSACTIONS
Background
In
July
2005, the Company and Stanford Financial Group Company ("SFG") formed a new
limited liability company named Reedy Creek Acquisition Company LLC ("Reedy
Creek Acquisition Company") for the purpose of acquiring a parcel of
approximately 40 acres of land located adjacent to the Animal Kingdom Theme
Park
at Walt Disney World, in Orlando, Florida (the "Reedy Creek Property"). The
Reedy Creek Property is described in greater detail below under "Development
Plans for Reedy Creek Property."
Reedy
Creek Acquisition Company acquired the Reedy Creek Property in July 2005 for
a
purchase price of $12,400,000. Reedy Creek Acquisition Company paid $8,000,000
of the purchase price in cash and paid the $4,400,000 balance pursuant to the
terms of a promissory note issued to the sellers secured by a first mortgage
lien on the Reedy Creek Property. At the time of the purchase, Reedy Creek
Acquisition Company obtained a $7,150,000 loan from SIBL (the "SIBL Reedy Creek
Loan"), secured by a second mortgage lien on the property. The proceeds of
this
loan were used to pay part of the cash portion of the purchase price and for
closing costs associated with the closing. The Company contributed the remainder
of the purchase price. At the time of the acquisition of the Reedy Creek
Property, Reedy Creek Acquisition Company was owned 99% by SFG and 1% by one
of
the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, American Leisure
Reedy Creek Inc. ("ALRC"), however ALRC, has since exercised its option (the
"Reedy Creek Option") to receive 100% of the interest in the Reedy Creek
Acquisition Company in return for $600,000 paid to SFG in January
2006.
SFG
and
SIBL are affiliates of Stanford Venture Capital Holdings Inc., a significant
shareholder of the Company.
SIBL
Reedy Creek Loan Terms
In
connection with the exercise of the Reedy Creek Option, Reedy Creek Acquisition
Company and SIBL agreed to modify the terms of the SIBL Reedy Creek Loan made
by
SIBL to Reedy Creek Acquisition Company. The modified loan terms are evidenced
by a Renewed, Amended and Increased Promissory Note (the "Amended Note") made
by
Reedy Creek Acquisition Company in favor of SIBL. The Amended Note had a
maturity date of December 31, 2006, but has since been extended until June
30,
2007, pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to the Amended Note and was further extended
and replaced by the RC Note, described below. The loan originally had
a principal balance of $8,000,000 and accrued interest at the rate of 8% per
year payable quarterly. Interest in the amount of $262,885 on the Amended Note
was exchanged as consideration for the purchase of the Antiguan call center
including our subsidiary Caribbean Leisure Marketing, Inc. (described below).
Upon an event of default as described in the Amended Note, SIBL has several
rights and remedies, including causing the Amended Note to be immediately due
and payable.
The
Amended Note was replaced in November 2006, by a Renewed, Amended and Increased
Promissory Note in the amount of $12,200,000, by a $13,420,000 note in December
2006 and by a $15,300,000 note in January 2007 (the "RC Note"). The RC Note
was
due and payable on June 30, 2007, with $8,000,000 of the RC Note bearing
interest at the rate of 8% per annum and the remaining $7,300,000 bearing
interest at the rate of 12% per annum; however, the RC Note has since been
replaced by an Amended RC Note and a Second Amended RC Note, Third Amended
RC
Note and finally a Fourth Amended RC Note (as described below) and the maturity
date of the note has since been amended pursuant to the March 2007 Note
Modification Agreement (described below) to the earlier of (a) a public offering
by us, or any company that acquires a majority of any class of stock or assets
of us, which raises no less than $100,000,000; or (b) August 1, 2008 (the “New
Maturity Date”), with any accrued and unpaid interest payable on such New
Maturity Date.
Bankers
Credit Corporation Loan
In
connection with the exercise of the Reedy Creek Option, the Company and Reedy
Creek Acquisition Company arranged to receive a $7,000,000 loan from Bankers
Credit Corporation ("Bankers Credit").
Under
the
terms of the Bankers Credit loan, Bankers Credit advanced Reedy Creek
Acquisition Company $3,000,000 at closing and an additional $4,000,000
subsequent to the date of closing. On February 1, 2007, the Bankers Credit
note
was replaced by an Amended and Restated Promissory Note in the amount of
$7,860,000, which included an additional advance of $860,000.
The
Bankers Credit loan is evidenced by an Amended and Restated Promissory Note
(the
"Bankers Credit Note") and bears interest at the greater of the Wall Street
Journal published prime rate plus 6.75%, not to exceed the highest rate
allowable under Florida law or 15% per year. The interest rate of the Bankers
Credit Note as of August 1, 2007, was 15% (with a prime rate, as reported by
the
Wall Street Journal of 8.25%). Interest on the Bankers Credit Note is payable
monthly. The maturity date of the Bankers Credit Note was January 3, 2007,
but
was extended until February 1, 2008, pursuant to the amendment to the note.
Pursuant to the Bankers Credit Note, Reedy Creek Acquisition Company agreed
to
pay a 10% late charge on any amount of unpaid principal or interest under the
Bankers Credit Note. The Bankers Credit Note is subject to a 1% exit fee. Upon
an event of default as described in the Bankers Credit Note, Bankers Credit
has
several rights and remedies, including causing the Bankers Credit Note to be
immediately due and payable.
The
Bankers Credit Note is secured by a first lien on the Reedy Creek Property.
Additionally, the Bankers Credit Note is guaranteed by the Company and Malcolm
J. Wright, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement. We believe that without the
guarantees of Mr. Wright, it would have been more difficult, if not impossible,
for us to secure the Bankers Credit loan facility.
Reedy
Creek Acquisition Company utilized the initial proceeds from the Bankers
Credit
loan to pay a portion of the amount owed on the existing first mortgage note
issued to the sellers of the Reedy Creek Property. The holder of this mortgage
agreed to release the mortgage in exchange for this payment. Reedy Creek
Acquisition Company has now paid the balance of this mortgage note upon the
receipt of the balance of the Bankers Credit loan.
Development
Plans for Reedy Creek Property
The
Reedy
Creek Property is situated in the northern section of Osceola County, Florida
and lies on three contiguous development parcels located to the immediate north
of U.S. Highway 192 West, about one mile from the "Maingate" entrance to Walt
Disney World, Orlando and 0.75 miles from the entrance to "Disney's Animal
Kingdom" theme park. The property is one of only a small number of privately
owned parcels abutting Walt Disney World (north and east
boundaries).
The
Reedy
Creek Property consists of three parcels totaling over 40 gross acres with
approximately 29 acres of buildable land. The Osceola County Comprehensive
Land
Plan for the site allows vacation homes at a density of 18 units per acre,
which
results in a maximum allowable project density of 522 residential units. To
achieve the maximum density, it is anticipated that the project will consist
of
mid-rise condominium buildings. Amenities proposed on-site include a water
park
with swimming pools, guest services clubhouse, and other related on-site resort
amenities.
It
is
anticipated that Walt Disney World's Reedy Creek Improvement District (the
"District"), a quasi-government body whose constituents are all affiliated
with
Walt Disney World Company, will agree to construct and pave the widening and
extension of Reedy Creek Boulevard north and westward at its expense. We are
currently working with the District towards this end. The District will have
a
public hearing during which it is anticipated that the District will be given
the authority to acquire the land from Reedy Creek Acquisition Company and
make
the improvements to Reedy Creek Boulevard. If the District acquires the
requisite authority from its constituents, Reedy Creek Acquisition Company
has
agreed to convey relatively small portions of the three combined properties
to
constitute this roadway. Reedy Creek Acquisition Company will benefit from
the
conveyance by saving the cost of the road it would have to build anyway and
it
will enhance the required road frontage for the project.
Though
"Developments of Regional Impact" (DRI) are underway, we are seeking to maximize
Reedy Creek's property development and sales by obtaining governmental approval
for more housing units than was initially planned. Although there is no
assurance of the additional density that may be achieved through the DRI
process, we believe that Reedy Creek may gain approval to develop as many as
678
additional units.
The
Company's development of the Reedy Creek Property is currently planned to begin
in the fourth quarter of 2009, with the completion of such property planned
for
2010 or 2011, subject to funding and scheduling permitting. The Company will
not
know the total estimated cost of the development of the Reedy Creek Property
until it has determined the market and completed designs for the
properties.
Note
Modification Agreement
In
February 2006, we entered into a Note Modification Agreement with SIBL, whereby
we agreed to modify certain provisions of our outstanding promissory notes
with
SIBL to grant extensions of payments due. Pursuant to the Note Modification
Agreement, we and SIBL agreed that all interest due on our $6,000,000 note,
from
January 1, 2005, through September 30, 2006, shall be due and payable on
September 30, 2006, which due date was further extended by SIBL to December
31,
2008, with all interest thereafter payable with the original terms of that
note
however, as consideration for the purchase of the Antiguan call center including
our subsidiary Caribbean Leisure Marketing, Inc. (described below), SIBL
exchanged $546,000 of accrued interest; that all interest accrued on the
$3,000,000 note we have with SIBL, from the date of the note until September
30,
2006, shall be due and payable on September 30, 2006, which due date was
extended by SIBL to April 22, 2007, and to January 1, 2008, pursuant to the
Modification Agreement effective December 31, 2006, and pursuant to the March
2007 Note Modification Agreement (described below) to the earlier of
(a) a public offering by us, or any company that acquires a majority of any
class of stock or assets of us, which raises no less than $100,000,000; or
(b)
August 1, 2008 (the “New Maturity Date”), with any accrued and unpaid interest
payable on such New Maturity Date, additionally, as consideration for the
purchase of the Antiguan call center including our subsidiary Caribbean Leisure
Marketing, Inc. (described below), SIBL exchanged the $654,080 of accrued
interest as of June 30, 2006 as well as our $1,250,000 note with SIBL which
was
previously due September 30, 2006; and agreed that the maturity date of our
$1,355,000 note with SIBL would be extended until June 30, 2007, which has
been
further extended to January 1, 2008, pursuant to the Modification Agreement
effective December 31, 2006, and to the New Maturity Date pursuant to the March
2007 Note Modification Agreement, with any accrued and unpaid interest due
on
such New Maturity Date; that the maturity date of our $305,000 note with SIBL
be
extended until June 30, 2007, which has further been extended until January
1,
2008, pursuant to the Modification Agreement effective December 31, 2006, and
to
the new Maturity Date pursuant to the March 2007 Note Modification Agreement
(described below), with any accrued and unpaid interest payable on such New
Maturity Date.
Stock
Purchase Agreement
In
August
2006, with an effective date of June 30, 2006, we and several of our
subsidiaries, including Castlechart Limited ("CLM"), our former wholly owned
subsidiary, which owns 81% of the issued and outstanding stock of Caribbean
Leisure Marketing Limited ("Caribbean Leisure Marketing"), which in turn owned
49% of the issued and outstanding stock of Caribbean Media Group, Ltd.
("Caribbean Media Group"), which owned and operated our call center in Antigua,
entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Stanford International Bank Limited
("SIBL" and the "Stock Purchase Agreement").
Pursuant
to the Stock Purchase Agreement we sold SIBL all of our interest in CLM for
an
aggregate purchase price of $5,663,274. In connection with the purchase, SIBL
also agreed to exchange the interest on several of our outstanding promissory
notes with SIBL, and to amend the due date of such notes, described in greater
detail below, and we agreed to grant SIBL a warrant to purchase 355,000 shares
of our common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, which warrants
have an expiration date of April 30, 2008, and contain certain anti-dilution
clauses, whereby if we grant any options or sell any shares of common stock
for
less than $1.02 per share, the exercise price of the 355,000 warrants will
reset
to such lower price.
In
connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, SIBL exchanged the following
debts
which we owed to SIBL: a $1,250,000 promissory note and accrued interest thereon
through June 30, 2006; a $2,100,000 promissory note and accrued interest thereon
through June 30, 2006; all accrued and unpaid interest on our $6,000,000 note
with SIBL as of June 30, 2006; all accrued and unpaid interest on our $3,000,000
promissory note payable to SIBL as of June 30, 2006; and $262,885 of accrued
interest on our $8,000,000 promissory note payable to SIBL, and all accrued
fees
on our $6,000,000 letter of credit, which SIBL agreed to guaranty in connection
with the KeyBank loans.
Additionally,
in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, SIBL agreed to restate the
due
dates of certain of the notes which we owed to SIBL, including, the
$6,000,000 note, which due date has been further
restated due to the Modification Agreement to January 1, 2008; and the
$3,000,000 note, which was extended until January 1, 2008 pursuant to the
Modification Agreement; the $1,355,000 note, which was extended to January
1,
2008 due to the Modification Agreement; the $8,000,000 note, which was extended
to June 30, 2007; and the $305,000 note, which was extended to January 1, 2008;
however, our $3,000,000 note, our $8,000,000 note, which has since been
increased to $15,300,000 (as described below), our $1,355,000 note and our
$305,000 note have all been further extended pursuant to the March 2007 Note
Modification Agreement to the earlier of (a) a public offering by us, or any
company that acquires a majority of any class of stock or assets of us, which
raises no less than $100,000,000; or (b) August 1, 2008 (the “New Maturity
Date”), with any accrued and unpaid interest payable on such New Maturity
Date.
Finally,
in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, CLM was released and discharged
from any liability under the $6,000,000 note or the $305,000 note with SIBL,
which it previously agreed to guarantee.
Construction
Contract with Resorts Construction
In
August
2006, Tierra del Sol Resorts, Inc. entered into a guaranteed maximum price
construction contract with Resorts Construction, LLP ("Resorts Construction")
to
construct and develop part of the Sonesta Resort and its town home properties.
Resorts Construction is 50% owned by Malcolm J. Wright, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman. We believe that the contract with Resorts
Construction provides significant savings over our previous contract with PCL
Construction, and is advantageous to the Company in comparison with terms
available in the market from other third party contractors. Pursuant to the
contract with Resorts Construction, we agreed to pay Resorts Construction a
contractor's fee equal to 5% of the total cost of the construction performed
by
Resorts Construction and 7.5% for general conditions. Any payments owed under
the Resorts Construction contract which are not paid when due bear interest
at
the rate of 12% per annum. We provided Resorts Construction a payment of
$4,000,000 upon our entry into the construction agreement with Resorts
Construction, which funds Resorts Construction used to begin construction of
Phase 1 of the Sonesta Resort.
Purchase
of Vici Note
In
August
2006, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with SIBL, whereby we agreed to
purchase a $750,000 promissory note from SIBL, which note was originally
received by SIBL from Scott Roix, an individual, in connection with SIBL's
sale
of its interest in Vici Marketing Group, LLC ("Vici" and the "Vici Note") to
Mr.
Roix, and which Note bears interest at the rate of 8% pre annum, payable on
June
30, 2008. In consideration for the purchase of the Vici Note, we agreed to
issue
SIBL 235,000 shares of our common stock and a five year warrant to purchase
235,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $20 per share (the
"Vici Warrant"). We also granted SIBL demand registration rights in connection
with the registration of the shares underlying the Vici Warrant. The balance
of
the Vici Note as of June 30, 2007 was $500,000.
Credit
Agreements
On
November 22, 2006, we entered into a Credit Agreement through our wholly owned
subsidiary Reedy Creek Acquisition Company, LLC ("RCAC") and Stanford
International Bank Limited ("SIBL"), to provide RCAC a $4,300,000 credit
facility (the "RC Credit Agreement"). SIBL had previously loaned RCAC $7,150,000
on July 8, 2005 and $850,000 on January 5, 2006, which loans were evidenced
by a
Renewed, Amended and Increased Promissory Note in the amount of $8,000,000,
which we had guaranteed. In connection with the RC Credit Agreement, the
Renewed, Amended and Increased Promissory Note was replaced by a Second Renewed,
Amended and Increased Promissory Note in the amount of $12,200,000 (the “Second
Amended RC Note”).
The
Second Amended RC Note was guaranteed by the Company and Malcolm J. Wright,
the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman pursuant to a Modification and
Reaffirmation of Guaranty and Environmental Indemnity Agreement. In
December 2006, Mr. Wright received 366,000 warrants to purchase shares of our
common stock at an exercise price of $1.02 per share in connection with his
guaranty
of the RC Credit Agreement, equal to three percent (3%) of the total
indebtedness of the RC Credit Agreement.
We
entered into a Second Mortgage Modification Agreement and Future Advance
Certificate with SIBL in connection with our entry into the RC Credit Agreement,
which provided SIBL a mortgage over certain real property owned by us in Osceola
County, Florida, to secure the repayment of the Second Amended RC
Note.
On
December 18, 2006, we entered into "Amendment No. 1 to the $4.3 Million Credit
Agreement" the ("Amended RC Credit Agreement") with SIBL and RCAC, which amended
the terms of the RC Credit Agreement, to increase the loan amount under such
agreement from $4,300,000 to $5,420,000, to include an advance of $1,120,000
which was received on December 18, 2006 to cover the placement of an appeal
bond
by us and related expenses paid by us on behalf of South Beach Resorts, LLC
("Resorts," which we purchased pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, described
and
defined below) in connection with Resorts' purchase of the Boulevard Hotel
(described below) from a company which was then in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and
a
subsequent dispute regarding such purchase. The Amended RC Credit Agreement
also
amended and restated the RC Note in the amount of $13,420,000, evidenced by
a
"Third Renewed, Amended and Increased Promissory Note" (the "Third Amended
RC
Note"), to include the increased Amended RC Credit Agreement amount and provided
for Malcolm J. Wright, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman to provide
a
restated Guaranty to SIBL to include the amended loan amount. Mr. Wright
received 33,600 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise
price of $1.02 per share in connection with his guaranty of Amended RC Credit
Agreement, equal to three percent (3%) of the total indebtedness of the
increased amount of the RC Credit Agreement.
We
also
entered into a Third Mortgage Modification Agreement and Future Advance
Certificate in connection with the increased RC Loan, which increased SIBL's
mortgage on certain of our property in Osceola County, Florida to secure the
Third Amended RC Note.
On
January 31, 2007, we entered into an "Amendment No. 2 to the $4.3 Million Credit
Agreement" the ("Second Amended RC Credit Agreement") with SIBL and RCAC, which
amended the terms of the Amended RC Credit Agreement, to increase the loan
amount under such agreement from $5,420,000 to $7,300,000, to include an advance
of $1,880,000. The Second Amended RC Credit Agreement also amended and restated
the RC Note in the amount of $15,300,000, evidenced by a "Fourth Renewed,
Amended and Increased Promissory Note" (the "Fourth Amended RC Note"), to
include the increased Second Amended RC Credit Agreement amount and provided
for
Malcolm J. Wright, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman to provide a
restated Guaranty to SIBL to include the amended maximum loan amount of
$7,300,000. Mr. Wright received 56,400 warrants to purchase shares of our common
stock at an exercise price of $1.02 per share in connection with his guaranty
of
Amended RC Credit Agreement, equal to three percent (3%) of the total
indebtedness of the increased amount of the RC Credit Agreement.
Credit
Agreement with Stanford
On
November 22, 2006, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Stanford Venture
Capital Holdings, Inc. ("Stanford"), Tierra Del Sol Resort (Phase 2), Ltd.,
Costa Blanca II Real Estate, LLC, Costa Blanca III Real Estate, LLC, TDS Town
Homes (Phase 2) LLC and TDS Clubhouse, Inc. (the "TDSR Credit Agreement") to
provide $6,200,000 of capital for (1) the repayment of the RC Credit Agreement,
which was later amended to include the repayment of the increased amount of
the
Amended RC Credit Agreement in connection with the Amended TDSR Credit Agreement
(described below), (2) construction of the pool complex at the Tierra del Sol
Phase One project, (3) furniture, fixtures and equipment, and (4) various other
expenses. Any amounts borrowed under the TDSR Credit Agreement bear interest
at
the rate of 12% per annum, and any amounts not paid when due will bear interest
at the rate of 15% per annum. Any amounts borrowed under the TDSR Credit
Agreement are due and payable on June 30, 2007; however, no amounts have been
drawn from this Credit Agreement to date.
On
December 18, 2006, we also entered into "Amendment No. 1 to $6.2 Million Credit
Agreement" (the "Amended TDSR Credit Agreement") to amend the TDSR Credit
Agreement to reflect the Amended RC Credit
Agreement amount, which is to be repaid with any funds received in connection
with the exercise of the Amended TDSR Credit Agreement.
On
January 31, 2007, we entered into "Amendment No. 2 to the $6.2 Million Credit
Agreement" (the "Second Amended TDSR Credit Agreement") to amend the TDSR Credit
Agreement to reflect the Second Amended RC Credit Agreement amount, which is
to
be repaid with any funds received in connection with the exercise of the Second
Amended TDSR Credit Agreement.
The
Second Amended TDSR Credit Agreement is not effective until we substitute a
portion of Tierra Del Sol Resorts, Inc. as collateral for future advances under
the Second Amended TDSR Credit Agreement, and as such, we have not borrowed
any
funds pursuant to the Second Amended TDSR Credit Agreement to date. We
anticipate the funds received from the Second Amended TDSR Credit Agreement,
if
such agreement is funded to be used to repay the Second Amended RC Credit
Agreement.
We
paid
Stanford a placement fee of $186,000 (or 3% of the TDSR Credit Agreement amount)
as a placement fee upon our execution of the TDSR Credit Agreement. Malcolm
J.
Wright has agreed to guarantee the repayment of a $6,200,000 promissory note,
which we plan to provide Stanford to evidence the amount borrowed under the
TDSR
Credit Agreement, assuming we choose to move forward with such credit facility.
It is anticipated that if the Amended TDSR Credit Agreement is funded, Mr.
Wright will receive approximately 186,000 warrants to purchase shares of our
common stock at an exercise price of $1.02 per share, in connection with his
guaranty.
Warrant
Participation Agreement
In
connection with SIBL's agreeing to enter into the Amended RC Credit Agreement,
we entered into a Warrant Participation Agreement with SIBL, Resorts, Malcolm
J.
Wright and Frederick Pauzar (the "Participation Agreement"), whereby we granted
SIBL and six (6) of its assigns the right to a 25% participation interest (the
"Participation Interest") in the Net Proceeds (as defined below) realized by
us
upon the disposition of the real property located at 740 Ocean Drive, Miami
Beach, Florida, known as the Boulevard Hotel (the "Property"), for aggregate
consideration of $1.00 per warrant (collectively, the "Warrant"). "Net Proceeds"
is defined as the proceeds realized upon the disposition or refinancing of
the
Property, less our cost basis in the Property, excluding any operating losses
or
operating profits. In the event the Property is not sold by us by December
22,
2009, we agreed to appoint SIBL as true and lawful proxy of us in connection
with the engagement of a real estate broker and the subsequent sale of the
Property. Mr. Wright and Mr. Pauzar are jointly and severally liable for our
obligations under the Participation Agreement, however they are not receiving
any warrants in connection with such guaranties.
The
Warrant was evidenced by seven (7) Warrants, which are exercisable at any time
prior to the disposition date of the Property, which Warrants were distributed
as follows:

Purchase
of South Beach Resorts, LLC
On
December 21, 2006, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with SBR Holding
Company, LLC ("SBR") which was owned by Frederick Pauzar, a Director of us
and
our President, and Malcolm J. Wright, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
(the "Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we purchased
100% of the outstanding membership interests in South Beach Resorts, LLC, a
Florida limited liability company from SBR ("Resorts") and then acquired SBR
Holdings, LLC for no consideration. The Purchase price for Resorts was equal
to
75% of the Net Proceeds (as defined above) realized by us upon the planned
disposition of the Property (as defined above), up to a maximum of $3,000,000.
The ownership of Resorts was transferred to us in connection with our entry
into
the Purchase Agreement pursuant to an Assignment of Interest, and the
consideration payable to SBR in connection with the sale of the Property will
be
paid immediately after the disposition of the Property.
On
or
around the closing of the Resorts purchase, we also entered into a note with
Roger Maddock, a significant shareholder of us, to evidence $3,590,811 in loans
and advances Mr. Maddock had previously made to Resorts (the "Maddock Note"),
the payment of which was guaranteed by us pursuant to a Guaranty
Agreement.
The
Maddock Note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum until paid, provided
that any amount not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of the lesser
of 18% per annum or the highest rate of interest allowable by law.
The
Maddock Note is due and payable by us, together with any accrued and unpaid
interest on December 31, 2008. Accrued interest is due quarterly in arrears
under the Maddock Note, on the last day of each calendar quarter. We have the
right to prepay the Maddock Note at any time prior to the due date of the note
without penalty.
Note
Modification Agreement
With
an
effective date of December 31, 2006, we entered into a Note Modification
Agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) with SIBL, various of our subsidiaries
and Malcolm J. Wright, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. The
Modification Agreement extended the due date of our $3,000,000 note with SIBL
to
January 1, 2008; the due date of our $1,355,000 note with SIBL to January 1,
2008, and the due date of our $305,000 note with SIBL to January 1, 2008, which
dates have been further extended by the March 2007 Note Modification Agreement
described below.
Marathon
Loan
On
January 11, 2007, South Beach Resorts, LLC (“SBR”), our wholly owned subsidiary
defaulted on a loan due to LaSalle Bank National Association, as trustee of
Structured Finance Fund, L.P., successor-in-interest to Marathon Structured
Finance Fund L.P. ("LaSalle"). The loan principal at that time was $7,498,900
and accrued interest of $79,910 was due at January 11, 2007. LaSalle has a
mortgage interest on certain real property owed by SBR, located at 740 Ocean
Drive, Miami Beach, Florida, known as the Boulevard Hotel (the "Property")
in
connection with the loan.
A
Forbearance Agreement was subsequently executed with LaSalle on or about
February 2, 2007, to waive the default until April 11, 2007, provided SBR
continued to make monthly interest payments on the debt outstanding and a
principal payment of $750,000 was made on February 8, 2007, which payment and
monthly payments have been made to date. The Forbearance
Agreement was subsequently extended to July 11, 2007, pursuant to the terms
of
the Forbearance Agreement
On
or
around July 11, 2007, we entered into the First Amendment to Forbearance
Agreement with LaSalle, whereby LaSalle agreed to extend the terms of the
Forbearance Agreement until 5:00 P.M. on October 11, 2007, assuming that we
continue to make the required payments of interest on the loan, and no event
of
default occurs under the loan. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the First
Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement, we paid all accrued interest due under
the loan in connection with our entry into such
agreement, totaling approximately $64,442, with $6,248,900 of outstanding
principal due under the loan as of July 11, 2007; $500,000 which was paid as
a
principal reduction in connection with the extension of the note; LaSalle’s
reasonable attorneys fees in connection with the First Amendment to the
Forbearance Agreement; and an additional fee of $50,000 in connection with
the
extension to LaSalle.
We
are
currently working to secure new financing to replace the LaSalle loan; however
we can provide no assurances that such financing will be raised on favorable
terms, if at all. The LaSalle loan bears interest at the rate of the greater
of
(a) ten percent (10%) or (b) the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus
seven percent (7%). The note also required a $180,000 exit fee to be paid
at the
time the loan was repaid, which amount has not been paid to date. LaSalle
may
also require us to pay a 5% late payment fee in connection with our failure
to
repay the loan amount when due. LaSalle has agreed to waive the default rate
of
interest if we make all of our required payments. The default rate of interest
is LIBOR plus twelve percent (12%), which was equal to approximately 17.22%,
with the LIBOR at 5.22% as of the filing of this Report.
Appletree
Holding Loan
On
January 30, 2007, AMLH entered into a promissory note with Applebee Holding
Company in the amount of $150,000 at 4% for seven years. As part of the
agreement, 2,840 shares of AMLH Series E Convertible Preferred Stock were issued
bearing a 4% per annum cumulative preferred dividend rate, par value of $.001
and convertible into AMLH common stock at a strike price of $15.00 per
share.
On
February 9, 2007, SBR entered into a 180 day, $750,000 loan agreement at the
Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 1%, currently equal to 9.25%, with the
prime
rate at 8.25% as of the filing of this report, with International Property
Investors AG, a corporation organized under the laws of Liechtenstein, secured
by SBR’s property. The proceeds of the loan were used solely for the payment of
fees owed by SBR to Marathon pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement.
International Property Investors AG has agreed to extend the repayment of the
loan through the end of August 2007 or after the “Admission” whichever occurs
first.
Credit
Agreements with SIBL and Resorts Funding
On
March
13, 2007, we entered into a $10,000,000 Credit Agreement with SIBL, whereby
SIBL
agreed to loan us $10,000,000 to use for the construction and development of
Phase 2 of the Sonesta Resort. The loan was evidenced by a $10,000,000
Promissory Note, which bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The
Promissory Note is secured by a second priority security interest and lien
on
the land underlying Phase 2 of the Sonesta Resort, all buildings, structures
and
other improvements on such land, and all fixtures, equipment, goods, inventory
or property owned by us currently or in the future, which security interests
are
evidenced by a Mortgage and Security Agreement, which we and several of our
wholly owned subsidiaries entered into with SIBL in connection with the Credit
Agreement. The loan is due in full and payable along with any accrued and unpaid
interest on March 13, 2008. Any amounts not paid when due under the loan bear
interest at the rate of 15% per annum. The SIBL Credit Agreement is personally
guaranteed by our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Malcolm J. Wright,
who
will earn a fee of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock equal to
3%
of such guaranteed indebtedness at an exercise price of $1.02 per share, in
connection with the debt guarantor agreement we have in place with Mr.
Wright.
The
Credit Agreement provided a provision whereby, in order to induce SIBL to enter
into the Credit Agreement, we agreed to issue SIBL (or its assigns) warrants
to
purchase up to 350,000 shares of our common stock at $1.02 per share, with
a
cashless exercise provision on a pro-rata basis in connection with advances
under the Credit Agreement.
Immediately
upon our execution of the Credit Agreement, we paid SIBL a placement fee of
$200,000, plus SIBL’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the closing of the Credit Agreement.
On
April
23, 2007, we entered into a $10,000,000 Credit Agreement with Resorts Funding
Group, LLC, whose managing partner is Malcolm J. Wright, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman, who does not have
an
ownership interest in such entity (“Resorts Funding”), on substantially
similar terms to the SIBL Credit Agreement, described above, whereby Resorts
Funding agreed to loan us $10,000,000 to use for the construction and
development of Phase 2 of the Sonesta Resort. The loan was evidenced by a
$10,000,000 Promissory Note, which bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum.
The Promissory Note is secured by a second priority security interest and lien
on the land underlying Phase 2 of the Sonesta Resort, all buildings, structures
and other improvements on such land, and all fixtures, equipment, goods,
inventory or property owned by us currently or in the future, which security
interests are evidenced by a Mortgage and Security Agreement, which we and
several of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into with Resorts Funding
in
connection with the Credit Agreement. The loan is due in full and payable along
with any accrued and unpaid interest on March 13, 2008. Any amounts not paid
when due under the loan bear interest at the rate of 15% per annum. The Resorts
Funding loan is personally guaranteed by our Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman, Malcolm J. Wright, who will earn a fee of warrants to purchase shares
of our common stock equal to 3% of such guaranteed indebtedness at an exercise
price of $1.02 per share, in connection with the debt guarantor agreement we
have in place with Mr. Wright.
The
Credit Agreement provided a provision whereby, in order to induce Resorts
Funding to enter into the Credit Agreement, we agreed to issue Resorts Funding
(or its assigns) warrants to purchase up to 350,000 shares of our common stock
at $1.02 per share, with a cashless exercise provision on a pro-rata basis
in
connection with advances under the Credit Agreement.
We
also
agreed, pursuant to the Credit Agreement with Resorts Funding, that we would
pay
Resorts Funding an exit fee upon the repayment of the amounts owed to Resorts
Funding of $200,000.
We
had
received $2,905,000 from SIBL and Resorts Funding Group, LLC, as of March 31,
2007, and issued SIBL and Resorts Construction 87,500 warrants in connection
with the receipt of such funds, which funds were released prior to our execution
of the Credit Agreement.
Through
April 2007, we had drawn an additional $5,810,000 on the Resorts Funding Group
LLC $10,000,000 credit facility for a total outstanding of $10,000,000 and
an
additional $5,900,000 on the SIBL $10,000,000 credit facility for a total
outstanding of $10,000,000, respectively and granted Resorts Funding
Group LLC warrants to purchase an additional 262,500 shares for a total of
warrants to purchase 350,000 shares and granted SIBL warrants to purchase an
additional 262,500 shares for a total of warrants to purchase 350,000 shares
based on the amounts loaned.
March
2007 Note Modification Agreement
On
March
31, 2007, we, various of our wholly owned subsidiaries, and Malcolm J. Wright,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, entered into a Note Modification
Agreement with SIBL (the “March 2007 Note Modification Agreement”). Pursuant to
the March 2007 Note Modification Agreement, we, SIBL and Mr. Wright agreed

Recent
Events
Kennedy
Loan Funding
On
April
20, 2007, certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries which are engaged in the
construction and development of the Sonesta Resort, including Costa Blanca
Real
Estate II, LLC, Costa Blanca III Real Estate, LLC, TDS Town Homes (Phase 1),
LLC, and TDS Town Homes (Phase 2), LLC (the “Borrowers”), entered into a Loan
and Security Agreement with Kennedy Funding, Inc. as agent for certain lenders
(collectively “Kennedy” and the “Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the Loan
Agreement, Kennedy agreed to make a loan to the Borrowers of up to $24,900,000.
The Loan Agreement provides that the Borrowers will receive
an advance equal to $22,000,000 for repayment of an existing loan, closing
costs
and fees, and construction of the Sonesta Resort; additionally, another
$2,900,000 is currently being held back from the initial loan funds and will
be
disbursed to the Borrowers from time to time to construct one of the swimming
pools in the Sonesta Resort, subject to the Borrowers complying with the
representations and warranties described in the Loan Agreement, and subject
to
the loan to value ratio of amounts loaned by Kennedy, in connection with the
Sonesta Resort not exceeding 60%. Additionally, approximately $1,786,000 of
the
amount loaned by Kennedy was immediately paid by the Borrowers in connection
with closing costs and to pay Kennedy’s commitment and loan fees, and an
additional $2,196,000 of the amount loaned was paid to Kennedy as an interest
reserve, which amount is to be credited against the amount of monthly interest
due under the loan, as such interest payments become due and payable, as
described below. We used approximately $15,285,000 of the funds raised through
the Loan Agreement to repay all amounts owed under and to satisfy our Land
Loan
with KeyBank, National Association, which we entered into in December 2005,
and
plan to use the remaining funds received by the Borrowers from the Loan
Agreement to continue the construction of the Sonesta Resort. Events of default
under the Loan Agreement include, among other things, if one or more judgments
are entered against any Borrower or guarantor of the Loan Agreement, in excess
of $25,000, which are not fully paid or covered by insurance, and which have
not
been discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within ninety days of the
entry
thereof.
In
connection with the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers provided Kennedy a Promissory
Note in the amount of $24,900,000 (the “Kennedy Note”). The Kennedy Note, and
any accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable on April 20, 2010. The
Kennedy Note does not contain a pre-payment penalty The Kennedy Note bears
interest at varying rates of interest over the course of the note term, which
interest is due and payable monthly, in arrears, including:
(a)
|
12%
per annum for the first month that the Kennedy Note is
outstanding;
|
(b)
|
The
greater of 12% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 3 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from May 2007 through April 2008;
|
(c)
|
The
greater of 16% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 7 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from May 2008 through April 2009; and
|
(d)
|
The
greater of 18% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 9 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from May 2009, through the maturity date of the
Kennedy
Note.
|
Any
amounts not paid under the Kennedy Note when due bear interest at the rate
of
24% per annum until paid in full.
The
outstanding balance of the Kennedy Note was secured by a security interest
granted to Kennedy by the Borrowers in substantially all of their personal
property and assets. As additional security, American Leisure Holdings, Inc.,
TDS Amenities, Inc., a Florida corporation, which is owned by Tierra del Sol
Resort, Inc., and Malcolm J. Wright, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman
entered into a Guaranty Agreement in favor of Kennedy, which guaranteed the
repayment of the Kennedy Note. Furthermore, the Borrowers agreed to assign
their
rights to various of our licenses, leases, permits and approvals to Kennedy
to
secure the repayment of the Kennedy Note and in connection with the security
agreement provided to Kennedy. Mr. Wright earned a fee equal to 747,000 warrants
to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.02 in
connection with his guaranty of the Kennedy Note.
In
addition to guarantying the repayment of the Kennedy Note, the Borrowers and
TDS
Amenities, Inc. granted Kennedy a Mortgage Agreement encumbering approximately
38 acres of property in our Sonesta Resort which the Borrowers own, to secure
the repayment of the Kennedy Note. American Leisure Holdings, Inc. the
Borrowers, and Mr. Wright also guaranteed that all of the property secured
by
the Mortgage Agreement fully complies with all environmental laws and agreed
to
indemnify Kennedy against any damages in connection with the violation of any
environmental hazardous waste disposal laws or regulations.
On
June
26, 2007, Kennedy and the Borrowers entered into a First Amendment to Loan
and
Security Agreement and Other Loan Documents (the “First Amendment to Loan”) in
connection with the Loan Agreement, whereby the parties agreed to add as an
event of default under the Loan Agreement, a default under
the
Second Kennedy Note (as defined below); agreed that the amount secured by the
Kennedy Note would be cross collateralized with the Second Kennedy Note, and
that any default under the Second Kennedy Note of the Second Kennedy Agreements
(as defined below), would constitute an event of default under the Loan
Agreement, as amended. The First Amendment to the Loan also provided that
Kennedy has the right to assign the Kennedy Note; that Kennedy is required
to
consent to any amendment of the Kennedy Note, or related documents entered
into
in connection with the Kennedy Loan Agreement (the “Kennedy Agreements”), and/or
consent to any release of collateral secured by the Kennedy Loan; that Kennedy
is able to advertise the fact that it made a loan to us, and/or erect signs
on
our properties publicizing Kennedy’s role in our funding, with our consent,
which will not be unreasonably withheld; changed the prepayment requirements
related to the Borrower’s prepayment of the Kennedy Note; and provided Kennedy a
security interest in any and all deposits received by the Borrowers in
connection with the purchase of any of our condominiums and/or townhouses on
the
Mortgaged Property, among other things (the “Amendments”).
We
also
entered into a First Amendment to Mortgage and Security Agreement and an
Amended
and Restated Promissory Note with Kennedy to confirm and reflect the Amendments.
Additionally, we entered into a Reaffirmation of Guaranty, to reaffirm our
previous guaranty of, and security interest granted in connection with the
Kennedy Note and the Kennedy Agreements as amended.
First
Commercial Bank Letter of Credit
On
or
about March 28, 2007, we obtained a Letter of Credit from First Commercial
Bank
of Florida (“First Commercial”) in the amount of $991,217, which amount has been
loaned to us in full by First Commercial, which amount bears interest at the
Prime Rate plus 1.5% per annum, currently equal to 9.75%, with the Prime Rate
at
8.25% as of the filing of this report. Interest on the Line of Credit is payable
monthly in arrears. The amount due under the Line of Credit is due and payable,
along with any accrued and unpaid interest on March 28, 2008. The Line of Credit
is secured by a mortgage and security interest on certain property in the
Sonesta Resort. The closing costs associated with the Line of Credit totaled
approximately $25,000. The Letter of Credit is secured by certain of our wholly
owned subsidiaries, and Malcolm J. Wright, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman.
June
2007 Kennedy Funding
On
June
26, 2007, Costa Blanca I Real Estate, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of our
wholly owned subsidiary, Tierra Del Sol Resort (Phase 1), Ltd. (“Costa Blanca”),
entered into a Loan and Security Agreement and related agreements (the “Second
Kennedy Agreements”) with Kennedy, whereby Kennedy agreed to loan Costa Blanca
$4,450,000 (the “Second Loan Agreement”).
In
connection with the Second Loan Agreement, Costa Blanca provided Kennedy a
Promissory Note in the amount of $4,450,000 (the “Second Kennedy Note”). The
Second Kennedy Note, and any accrued and unpaid interest are due and payable
on
June 25, 2010. The Second Kennedy Note does not contain a pre-payment penalty.
The Second Kennedy Note bears interest at varying rates of interest over the
course of the note term, which interest is due and payable monthly, in arrears,
including:
(a)
|
12%
per annum for the first month that the Second Kennedy Note is
outstanding;
|
(b)
|
The
greater of 12% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 3 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from July 2007 through June 2008;
|
(c)
|
The
greater of 16% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 7 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from July 2008 through June 2009;
and
|
(d)
|
The
greater of 18% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 9 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from July 2009, through the maturity date of the
Second
Kennedy Note.
|
Any
amounts not paid under the Second Kennedy Note when due bear interest at the
rate of 24% per annum until paid in full. Additionally, any payment of interest
not paid within five (5) days of the date it is due
is
charged a one-time penalty equal to the lesser of: (i) ten percent (10%) of
such
payment or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law.
The
$3,950,000 initial advance under the Second Kennedy Note, which was advanced
on
or around June 26, 2007, included $464,000 which was paid to Kennedy as a
closing fee; $445,000 which is to be credited against interest payments due
under the Second Kennedy Note; and approximately $178,000 in closing costs,
brokers fees and legal fees in connection with the loan. The remaining $500,000
in loan funds was held back from the initial advance, and will be disbursed
to
Costa Blanca from time to time to construct one of the swimming pools in the
Sonesta Resort, subject to the Borrowers complying with the representations
and
warranties described in the Second Loan Agreement, and subject to the
loan-to-value ratio of amounts loaned by Kennedy, not exceeding 60% of the
then
value of the Sonesta Resort. Additionally, Costa Blanca agreed to pay all of
Kennedy’s out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Second Kennedy
Note and funding. The net proceeds of loan are being utilized by Costa Blanca
for construction costs and working capital associated with the Sonesta
Resort.
Events
of
default under the Second Loan Agreement include, among other things, if one
or
more judgments are entered against any Costa Blanca or any guarantor of the
Second Loan Agreement, in excess of $25,000, which are not fully paid or covered
by insurance, and which have not been discharged, stayed or bonded pending
appeal within ninety days of the entry thereof. Additionally, the default of
any
provision of the April 2007, Kennedy Note, triggers a cross-default of the
Second Kennedy Note.
The
Second Loan Agreement provided that Costa Blanca can not create, incur or suffer
any indebtedness other than the Kennedy Note and the Second Kennedy Note, other
than up to $25,000,000 in additional loans which may be obtained from Stanford
International Bank Limited and/or Resorts Funding Group, LLC, which shall be
subordinate to the Second Kennedy Note and security interests granted
therewith.
Additionally,
assuming that no Event of Default has occurred under the Second Kennedy Note,
in
the event that Costa Blanca or any of the Borrowers repays an amount equal
to at
least $16,000,000 of the amount due under the Kennedy Note and Second Kennedy
Note by the six (6) month anniversary of the Second Loan Agreement closing
date,
the Borrowers will receive a credit of $150,000 against the amount then owed.
Similarly, in the event that Costa Blanca or the Borrowers repays $18,000,000
of
the amount due within the six (6) month anniversary of the Second Loan Agreement
closing date, they will receive a credit of $200,000 against amounts then owed.
Finally, assuming that the terms and conditions of the Second Kennedy Note
are
complied with in full, and no Event of Default has occurred, Costa Blanca will
receive a refund of $50,000 of the prepaid interest held on the Second Kennedy
Note.
The
outstanding balance of the Second Kennedy Note was secured by a security
interest granted to Kennedy by Costa Blanca in substantially all of its personal
property and assets, including certain real property in Polk County, Florida,
pursuant to the parties’ entry into a Mortgage and Security Agreement. As
additional security, American Leisure Holdings, Inc., TDS Amenities, Inc.,
a
Florida corporation, which is owned by Tierra del Sol Resort, Inc., and Malcolm
J. Wright, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, entered into a Guaranty
Agreement in favor of Kennedy, which guaranteed the repayment of the Second
Kennedy Note. Furthermore, Costa Blanca agreed to assign its rights to several
of its licenses, leases, permits and approvals to Kennedy to secure the
repayment of the Second Kennedy Note. Mr. Wright earned a fee equal to 133,500
warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.02
in
connection with his guaranty of the Second Kennedy Note.
Central
Florida Note
On
or
around June 29, 2007, TDS Amenities, Inc. and TDS Town Homes (Phase 2), LLC
(collectively “TDS”), two of our wholly owned subsidiaries issued Central
Florida Ventures, L.L.C. a Promissory Note (the “Central Florida Note”) in the
amount of $4,000,000 in connection with a $4,000,000 loan made to TDS. The
Central Florida Note is due and payable on June 29, 2008, and any amount
outstanding on the Central Florida Note bears interest at the rate of thirteen
percent (13%) per annum, compounded monthly until paid in full on the maturity
date. Any amount not paid on the Central Florida Note when due is subject to
a
“late charge” of 5% of such unpaid amount. TDS is able to repay all or any
portion of the Central Florida
Note at any time without penalty. In the event the Central Florida Note is
not
paid in full when due, any amounts then outstanding will bear interest at the
highest rate allowable by Florida law.
In
July
2007, an additional $1,000,000 was advanced by Central Florida pursuant to
the
Central Florida Note described above.
PLAN
OF OPERATIONS
TraveLeaders
We
previously planned to integrate the administrative operations of Hickory and
TraveLeaders; however, the integration process was slower than we anticipated
and we have since abandoned our plans to integrate those operations. We are
currently evaluating our options regarding Hickory and TraveLeaders, including
whether we should sell either of those divisions. Additionally, time has been
required to analyze and determine the impact, if any, of certain litigation
commenced by Around The World Travel regarding its contracts with Seamless
Technologies, Inc. and others, as discussed in "Legal Proceedings,"
herein.
Under
our
prior arrangement with Around The World Travel, which operated the TraveLeaders
assets on our behalf and from whom we acquired the assets, we recognized a
management fee of 10% of the net earnings of the TraveLeaders assets before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
Sonesta
Resort
We
believe that the capital requirement for the first phase of the resort will
be
approximately $136,500,000, of which $9,000,000 will be for the resort
amenities, $64,000,000 will be for vertical construction on 294 units and
$49,500,000 will be for other costs such as contingencies, closing costs and
soft costs such as architectural, engineering, and legal costs. An additional
approximate amount of $14,000,000 will be expended for horizontal construction
costs which include all of Phase I requirements plus most of the infrastructure
requirements for the entire Project.
On
or
about December 29, 2005, we closed on $54.85 million of senior debt to be used
in the development of The Sonesta Orlando Resort at Tierra Del Sol (the
"Project"), described in greater detail above. KeyBank, N.A. was the lender
of a
credit facility for the benefit of AMLH. The credit facility included a land
loan in the amount of $14,850,000, which has been repaid as of the date of
this
filing. KeyBank had also originally agreed to provide us a $40,000,000 revolving
construction loan, for up to $72,550,000 in funding, however we have since
decided not to move forward with such funding. As of June 30, 2007, we had
received approximately $22,000,000 for funding of the Sonesta Resort through
our
entry into the April 2007 Kennedy funding, $4,450,000 through our entry into
the
June Kennedy funding, $4,000,000 through the Central Florida loan (which an
additional $1,000,000 advance was provided to us subsequent to June 30, 2007),
and the right to up to $20,000,000 in funding through the SIBL and Resorts
Funding loans describe above, pursuant to which we had borrowed the full
$20,000,000 as of June 30, 2007.
We
currently anticipate that we will raise the required funding to continue the
planned construction of the Sonesta Resort in connection with the Admission
and
related transactions described above (the “BVI
Transaction”) Financing for the balance of the development budget,
which includes infrastructure, retention, roads and green space of approximately
$26,000,000, was through the sale of Westridge Community Development District
bonds which was completed on December 29, 2005, as described above. In
June 2005, we began the earth moving and clearing process on the land for the
resort and have completed approximately 90% of the grading and the underground
infrastructure on the property to date. We began the vertical construction
of
Phase 1 of the property in the first quarter of 2007. We have established a
relationship with GMAC Bank, through Millennium Capital Mortgage, to provide
construction financing to the individual purchasers of the Sonesta Resort town
homes, which funding we believe will enable all town homes and amenities at
Tierra del Sol to be built through this program.
We
anticipate the need for approximately $85,000,000 in additional funding during
the next twelve months to meet our construction and overhead demands in
connection with the construction of the Sonesta Resort.
Known
Trends, Events, And Uncertainties
We
expect
to experience seasonal fluctuations in our gross revenues and net earnings
due
to higher sales volume during peak periods. Advertising revenue from the
publication of books by Hickory that list hotel availability is recognized
either when the books are published (December) or on a performance basis
throughout the year, depending on the contractual terms. This seasonality may
cause significant fluctuations in our quarterly operating results and our cash
flows. In addition, other material fluctuations in operating results may occur
due to the timing of development of resort projects and our use of the completed
contracts method of accounting with respect thereto. Furthermore, costs
associated with the acquisition and development of vacation resorts, including
carrying costs such as interest and taxes, are capitalized as inventory and
will
be allocated to cost of real estate sold as the respective revenues are
recognized. We intend to continue to invest in projects that will require
substantial development and significant amounts of capital funding during 2007
and in the years ahead.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
is
based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with
accounting principals generally accepted in the United States. The preparation
of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses,
and
related disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities. We base our
estimates on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. Actual results
may differ from these estimates if our assumptions do not materialize or
conditions affecting those assumptions change.
We
believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant
judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial
statements:
Going
Concern Considerations
We
have
incurred losses during our existence and we have negative retained earnings.
We
had an accumulated deficit of $24,902,930 at June 30, 2007 and a net loss of
$3,295,569 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. We expect our travel
operations for the year ended December 31, 2007, to require additional working
capital of approximately $2,000,000 and Hickory to require approximately
$500,000 in working capital during the next twelve months. If we are unable
to
obtain these funds, we may have to curtail or delay our travel business plan.
In
addition to our ability to raise additional capital, our continuation as a
going
concern also depends upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to
conduct our operations. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate
sufficient cash flow to conduct our Travel Division operations and/or to
complete the construction of our planned vacation homes, we may be required
to
delay the acquisition of additional travel agencies and restructure or refinance
all or a portion of our outstanding debt. The accompanying financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenues on the accrual method of accounting. Revenues from Hickory
are recognized as earned, which is primarily at the time of delivery of the
related service, publication or promotional material. Fees from advertisers
to
be included in the hotel book and web service operated by Hickory are recognized
upon the annual publication of the book or when performance levels are achieved.
Revenue from the delivery of services is recognized when it is invoiced to
the
recipient of the service.
One
of
our principal sources of revenue is associated with access to the travel portals
that provide a database of discounted travel services. Annual renewals occur
at
various times during the year. Costs and revenue related to portal usage charges
are incurred in the month prior to billing. Customers are charged additional
fees for hard copies of the site access information. Occasionally these items
are printed and shipped at a later date, at which time both revenue and expenses
are recognized.
Revenues
from our wholly owned subsidiary ALEC are recognized as earned, which is
primarily at the time of delivery of the related service. Specifically,
commission revenues for cruises, hotel and car rentals
are recognized upon completion of travel, hotel stay or car rental. Commission
fees for ticketing are
recognized
at the time of departure.
Revenues
also include undeveloped land sales, which are recognized at closing when title
has passed.
Goodwill
We
adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." This statement requires that
goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives not be amortized,
but rather be tested for impairment on an annual basis. Finite-lived intangible
assets are required to be amortized over their useful lives and are subject
to
impairment evaluation under the provisions of SFAS No. 144. The goodwill will
be
evaluated on an annual basis and impaired whenever events or circumstances
indicate the carrying value of the goodwill may not be recoverable.
COMPARISON
OF OPERATING RESULTS
FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007, COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 2006.
We
had
total revenues of $6,402,710, consisting solely of service revenues for the
three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to total revenues of $6,403,103,
consisting solely of service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006,
an increase in total revenues of $393 from the prior period.
Our
service revenues increased due to our termination of our management agreement
with AWT on August 1, 2006.
We
had
total cost of service revenues of $6,386,382 for the three months ended June
30,
2007, compared to total cost of service revenues of $6,195,596 for the three
months ended June 30, 2006, an increase in total cost of service revenues of
$190,786 or 3.1% from the prior period. Our cost of service revenues increased
due to the increase in related revenues from TraveLeaders
We
had a
total gross margin of $16,328 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared
to a total gross margin of $207,507 for the three months ended June 30, 2006,
a
decrease in total gross margin of $191,179 or 92% from the prior period, which
decrease in gross margin was mainly due to the 3.1% increase in cost of service
revenues, which was not sufficiently offset by the 2.5% increase in revenues
for
the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the three months ended June
30, 2006.
We
had
total depreciation and amortization expenses of $233,396 for the three months
ended June 30, 2007, compared to total depreciation and amortization expenses
of
$159,993 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease in total
depreciation and amortization expenses of $73,403 or 45.9% from the prior
period, which decrease was due to the fact that our call center business was
sold effective as of June 30, 2006, and the fact that such operations were
therefore not depreciated during the three months ended June 30, 2007, but
were
depreciated during the three months ended June 30, 2006.
We
had
total general and administrative expenses of $945,417 for the three months
ended
June 30, 2007, compared to total general and administrative expenses of $881,071
for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an increase in total general and
administrative expenses of $64,346 or 7.3% from the three months ended
June 30, 2006, which increase was mainly due to increased expenses associated
with our subsidiaries, Wright Resorts and Hotels and American Leisure Homes,
due
to increased payroll expenses associated with the addition of employees during
the year ended December 31, 2006, as well as increases in the office space
costs
associated with such subsidiaries offset by decreases in travel and professional
fees.
We
had
total operating expenses of $1,178,813 for the three months ended June 30,
2007,
compared to total operating expenses of $1,041,064 for the three months ended
June 30, 2006, an increase of $137,749 or 13.2% from the prior period. The
increase in operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007,
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006 was mainly due to the $110,525
or 32.1% decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months
ended June 30, 2007, compared to the three months ended June 30,
2006.
We
had
total interest income of $88,103 for the three months ended June 30, 2007,
compared to interest income of $87,844 for the three months ended June 30,
2006,
an increase in interest income of $259 or 0.3% from the prior period.
We
had
total other income of $165,545 for the three months ended June 30, 2007,
compared to other income of $-0- for the three months ended June 30,
2006.
We
had
total interest expense of $985,843 for the three months ended June 30, 2007,
compared to total interest expense of $1,277,234 for the three months ended
June
30, 2006, a decrease in interest expense of $291,391 or 22.8% from the three
months ended June 30, 2006, which decrease in interest expense was mainly due
to
the payoff of certain notes assumed in connection with the acquisition of
certain assets from AWT.
We
had a
loss from continuing operations before taxes of $1,894,680 for the three months
ended June 30, 2007, compared to income from continuing operations before taxes
of $2,022,947 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease in loss
from
continuing operations before taxes of $128,267 or 6.3% from the prior
period.
We
had
total provision for income taxes of $1,000 for the three months ended June
30,
2007, compared to $0 in income tax provision for the three months ended June
30,
2006.
We
had $0
in gain from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007,
compared to gain from discontinued operations of $2,869,189 for the three months
ended June 30, 2006.
The
gain
from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was due
to
the call center operations of Caribbean Media Group, Ltd. ("Caribbean Leisure
Marketing"), our former wholly owned subsidiary, which owns 49% of Caribbean
Media Group, Ltd. Effective June 30, 2006, we sold Caribbean Leisure Marketing
to Stanford, as described in greater detail above.
We
had a
total net loss of $1,895,680 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared
to total net income of $846,242 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an
increase in net loss of $2,741,922 or 324% from the prior period, which decrease
in net loss was mainly due to the gain from discontinued operations in
connection with the operations of Caribbean Leisure Marketing for the
three months ended June 30, 2006, which operations were discontinued as of
June
30, 2006, and as such were not present during the three months ended June 30,
2007.
FOR
THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007, COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
2006.
We
had
total revenues of $12,777,646, consisting solely of service revenues for the
six
months ended June 30, 2007, compared to total revenues of $25,830,373,
consisting of service revenues of $12,701,127 and undeveloped land sales of
$13,129,246 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease in total revenues
of $13,052,727 or 50.5% from the prior period. Revenues for the six months
ended
June 30, 2007, consisted of service revenues of $12,777,646, which increased
$76,519 or 6.0% over service revenues of $12,701,127 for the six months ended
June 30, 2006.
Our
service revenues increased due to our termination of our management agreement
with AWT on August 1, 2006.
We
had no
undeveloped land sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to
undeveloped land sales of $13,129,246 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
The decrease in undeveloped land sales was due
to
the fact that while we had no such sales during the six months ended June 30,
2007, during the six months ended June 30, 2006, Tierra del Sol sold forty-two
acres of land in the Sonesta Resort for $9,090,130 to the Westridge Community
Development District ("District") and received an additional $4,039,116 from
the
District in connection with reimbursements for site improvements on the land
purchased by the District.
Service
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007, included approximately
$12,126,000 in revenues from HTS; $900,000 from ALEC; and $831,000 in revenues
from our hospitality division, which were offset by $1,080,000 of elimination
of
revenues in connection with the consolidation of the operations of those
divisions.
We
had
total cost of service revenues of $12,149,732 for the six months ended June
30,
2007, compared to total cost of service revenues of $12,389,822 for the six
months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease in total cost of service revenues of
$240,090 or 1.9% from the prior period.
We
had
total cost of undeveloped land sales of $0 for the six months ended June 30,
2007, as we had no such land sales, compared to total cost of undeveloped land
sales of $9,796,634 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
We
had a
total gross margin of $627,914 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared
to a total gross margin of $3,643,917 for the six months ended June 30, 2006,
a
decrease in total gross margin of $3,016,003 or 82.8% from the prior period,
which decrease in gross margin was mainly due to the fact that we had no land
sales during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and a $13 million land sale
during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
We
had
total depreciation and amortization expenses of $466,646 for the six months
ended June 30, 2007, compared to total depreciation and amortization expenses
of
$361,735 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase in total
depreciation and amortization expenses of $104,911 or 29% from the prior period,
which decrease was due to the fact that our call center business was sold
effective as of June 30, 2006, and the fact that such operations were therefore
not depreciated during the six months ended June 30, 2007, but were depreciated
during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
We
had
total general and administrative expenses of $1,821,177 for the six months
ended
June 30, 2007, compared to total general and administrative expenses of
$1,688,763 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase in total general
and administrative expenses of $132,414 from the six months ended June 30,
2006,
which increase was mainly due to increased expenses associated with our
subsidiaries, Wright Resorts and Hotels and American Leisure Homes, due to
increased payroll expenses associated with the addition of employees during
the
six months ended June 30, 2007, as well as increases in the office space costs
associated with such subsidiaries offset by decreases in travel and professional
fees.
We
had
total operating expenses of $2,287,823 for the six months ended June 30, 2007,
compared to total operating expenses of $2,050,498 for the six months ended
June
30, 2006, a decrease of $237,325 or 11.6% from the prior period. The decrease
in
operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the
six
months ended June 30, 2006 was mainly due to the 32% decrease in depreciation
and amortization offset by the 4.9% increase in general and administrative
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the six months
ended
June 30, 2006.
We
had
total interest income of $178,508 for the six months ended June 30, 2007,
compared to interest income of $169,193 for the six months ended June 30,
2006, an increase in interest income of $9,315 or 5.5% from the prior
period.
We
had
total other income of $197,343 for the six months ended June 30, 2007,
compared to other income of $-0- for the six months ended June 30,
2006.
We
had
total interest expense of $2,006,612 for the six months ended June 30, 2007,
compared to total interest expense of $2,517,382 for the six months ended June
30, 2006, a decrease in interest expense of $510,770 or 20.3% from the six
months ended June 30, 2006, which decrease in interest expense was mainly due
to
the payoff of certain notes assumed in connection with the acquisition of
certain assets from AWT.
We
had a
loss from operations before taxes of $3,290,670 for the six months ended June
30, 2007, compared to income from operations before taxes of $754,770 for the
six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase in loss from operations before
taxes
of $2,535,900 or 336% from the prior period.
We
had
total provision for income taxes of $4,899 for the six months ended June 30,
2007, compared to $1,399 in income tax provision for the six months ended June
30, 2006, an increase of $3,500 or 250% from the prior period.
We
had $0
in gain from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007,
compared to gain from discontinued operations of $2,744,938 for the six months
ended June 30, 2006.
The
gain
from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was due
to
the call center operations of Caribbean Media Group, Ltd. ("Caribbean Leisure
Marketing"), our former wholly owned subsidiary, which owns 49% of Caribbean
Media Group, Ltd. Subsequent to June 30, 2006, we sold Caribbean Leisure
Marketing to Stanford, as described in greater detail above.
We
had a
total net loss of $3,295,569 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared
to
total net income of $1,988,769 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an
increase in net loss of $5,284,338 or 265.7% from the prior period, which
decrease in net loss was mainly due to the gain on the sale of property of
approximately $3.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, which
gain
was not present during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We
had
total current assets as of June 30, 2007, of $8,836,419, consisting of cash
of
$3,497,531, restricted cash of $0, accounts receivable, net of $1,683,656,
other
receivable of $270,484, and prepaid expenses and other of
$3,384,748.

property and equipment, net of $8,653,144, land held for development of
$112,423,879 and total other assets of $30,382,128.
Other
assets as of June 30, 2007, consisted of restricted cash of $8,954,324, prepaid
sales commissions of $10,377,140, prepaid sales commissions-affiliated entity
of
$3,538,762, goodwill of $4,559,134, trademark of $937,500 and other assets
of
$2,015,268.
We
had
total current liabilities as of June 30, 2007 of $48,863,692, which included
current maturities of long-term debt and notes payable of $25,676,104, current
maturities of notes payable-related parties of $583,300, accounts payable and
accrued expenses of $7,957,606, accrued expenses-officers of $3,237,500, and
other liabilities of $9,409,182.
In
June
2006, Malcolm J. Wright, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman was paid
$1,540,500 in accrued salaries and interest which he was owed. Accrued
expenses-officers as of June 30, 2007, included $2,625,000 in salaries and
$596,250 interest due to Mr. Wright. Mr. Wright's accrued and unpaid salaries
accrue interest at the rate of 12% per year until paid. Additionally included
in
accrued expenses-officers as of June 30, 2007, was $413,750 owed to L. William
Chiles, the Chief Executive Officer of Hickory and our Director, which included
$350,000 of unpaid salary accrued to Mr. Chiles and $63,750 of accrued interest
on such unpaid salary.
As
of
June 30, 2007, we owed $583,300 in connection with current portion of notes
payable to related parties including $117,300 owed to our Director, L. William
Chiles.
As
of
June 30, 2007, we had $4,060,541 of notes payable to related parties, which
included $84,730 owed to Mr. Chiles and $3,590,811 owed to Mr. Roger Maddock,
a
significant shareholder of the Company.
As
of
June 30, 2007, we had long term debt and notes payable of $72,491,108; put
liability of $985,000 and deposits on pre-unit sales of
$38,020,027.
The
put
liability was in connection with 197,000 shares of common stock issued to
Harborage Leasing Corporation (“Harborage”) in connection with our entry into a
purchase agreement with Harborage in March
2006, which was effective as of March 31, 2006, whereby we purchased the
minority interest in Tierra Del Sol, Inc. from Harborage for a promissory note
in the amount of $1,411,705 ("Harborage Note"), which was paid in August 2006;
the right to receive, without payment, two (2) three-bedroom condominium units
to be constructed in Phase 2 of the Sonesta Resort, or in the event title to
both such units is not delivered by December 31, 2007, then, in lieu thereof,
payment of $500,000 for each such unit that is not transferred by such date;
197,000 shares of the Company's common stock; and warrants to acquire 300,000
additional shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $5.00
per share. Harborage had the right to require the Company to purchase all or
a
portion of the Harborage 197,000 shares at $5.00 per share, during the six
month
period commencing January 1, 2008 and ending June 30,
2008.
We
had
total negative working capital of $38,027,273 as of June 30, 2007.
We
had
net cash used by operating activities of $33,645,243 for the six months ended
June 30, 2007, which was mainly due to a net loss of $3,295,568 and $40,493,616
of increase in land held for development, offset by $7,134,858 of increase
in
accounts payable and accrued expenses.
We
had
$1,320,405 of net cash provided by investing activities for the six months
ended
June 30, 2007, which was due to $89,952 of acquisition of fixed assets and
$1,410,357 of decrease in restricted cash.
We
had
cash provided by financing activities of $34,712,369 for the six months ended
June 30, 2007, which was due to $56,733,182 of proceeds from the sale of notes
payable offset by $22,020,813 of payment of notes payable and long-term
debt.
We
expect
that we will require approximately $2,500,000 through the end of the 2007 fiscal
year for working capital for our travel management and services businesses
and
up to $85,000,000 for construction and overhead on our Sonesta Resort, as
described below.
We
estimate that the cost to complete the construction of Phase I of the Sonesta
Resort will be approximately $135,500,000 of which $8,000,000 will be for resort
amenities, $64,000,000 will be for vertical construction on 294 units and
$49,500,000 will be for other costs such as contingencies, closing costs and
soft costs such as architectural, engineering, and legal costs. An additional
approximate amount of $14,000,000 will be expended for horizontal construction
costs which include all of Phase I requirements plus most of the infrastructure
requirements for the entire Project. As of June 30, 2007, we had received
approximately $22,000,000 for funding of the Sonesta Resort through our entry
into the April 2007 Kennedy funding, $4,450,000 through our entry into the
June
Kennedy funding, $4,000,000 through the Central Florida loan, and the right
to
up to $20,000,000 in funding through the SIBL and Resorts Funding loans describe
above, of which we had borrowed 20,000,000 as of June 30, 2007.
While
we
previously obtained a $40,000,000 construction loan from KeyBank, we have since
decided not to move forward with that loan. We raised the required funding
to
continue the planned construction of Phase 1 of the Sonesta Resort in
connection with the Admission and related transactions described above (the
“BVI
Transaction”).
We
also
have funding in the amount of $25,825,000 from the Westridge Community
Development District ("CDD" or the "District"), which bonds will be used to
pay
for infrastructure facilities for public purposes such as water supply and
retention systems, roadways, green space and nature recreation areas. In
addition the Project is also benefiting from $25,825,000 in bonds issued by
the
CDD, a special purpose taxing district formed for the purpose of financing
the
installation of vital public services such as water supply and retention,
sanitary and storm water sewer systems, roadways and the landscaping attendant
to those uses. The CDD supports these initiatives, through the provision of
capital and maintenance, via a tax upon the property owners of the district
that
utilizes a low finance rate (5.8% per annum) and a long-term amortization of
the
capital costs (30 years).
The
first
phase of site work on the Sonesta Resort, at an estimated cost exceeding $19
million, was funded by the CDD via the sale by the CDD of bonds issued on a
non-recourse basis to the Company ("CDD Bonds").
The CDD was initially created by the Company in September 2003 and enabled
by an
order of a Florida State District Court. The CDD Bond issue was underwritten
by
KeyBanc Capital Markets Group in the amount of $25,825,000. The first issue
of
the CDD Bonds was successfully sold and closed simultaneous with the closing
of
the Key Bank senior debt facilities (described above). Upon closing of the
loan,
we repaid $7,862,250 of short-term debt plus accrued interest of approximately
$256,512. This short-term debt originally matured on March 31, 2005, but it
was
extended until the closing of the KeyBank credit facilities in December
2005.
On
August
16, 2006, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement between us and SIBL, a promissory
note in the principal amount of $750,000 made by Scott Roix in favor of SIBL
was
purchased from SIBL for 235,000 shares of our common stock and a five year
warrant to purchase up to 235,000 shares of our stock at an exercise price
of
$20 per share. The note has a maturity date of June 30, 2008 and bears interest
at the rate of 8% per annum. As of June 30, 2007, the balance of the promissory
note totaled $500,000.
At
June
30, 2007, we had an outstanding principal balance of $6,000,000 under our
secured revolving credit facility with Stanford, which bears interest at a
fixed
rate of 6% per annum payable accruing from July 1, 2006 quarterly in arrears
and
matures on December 31, 2008. We previously issued 355,000 warrants with a
strike price of $10 per share with a maturity of April 30, 2008 to Stanford
to
replace the conversion feature of the credit facility whereby the loan could
previously be converted into shares of our common stock at a conversion price
of
$15.00 per share in connection with our entry into the Stock Purchase Agreement
with SIBL. The $6,000,000 credit facility is guaranteed by Malcolm J. Wright,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and is secured by a second mortgage
on
our Sonesta Orlando Resort property, including all fixtures and personal
property located on or used in connection with these properties, and all of
the
issued and outstanding capital stock and assets of our subsidiary, American
Leisure Marketing & Technology, Inc. We believe that without the guarantees
of Mr. Wright, it would have been more difficult, if not impossible, for us
to
secure the Stanford credit facility.
As
of
June 30, 2007, we had an outstanding principal balance of $3,000,000, under
another secured revolving credit facility with Stanford, which bears interest
at
a fixed rate of 8% per annum and was to mature on January 1, 2008, but was
extended pursuant to the March 2007 Note Modification Agreement to the earlier
of (a) a public offering by us, or any company that acquires a majority of
any
class of stock or assets of us, which raises no less than $100,000,000; or
(b)
August 1, 2008 (the “New Maturity Date”), with any accrued and unpaid interest
payable on such New Maturity Date. At the sole election of the lender, any
amount outstanding under the credit facility may be converted into shares of
our
common stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share. The credit facility
is
secured by collateral assignments of our stock in the active Travel Division
subsidiaries as well as a collateral assignment of our first lien security
interest in the assets formerly owned by Around The World Travel,
Inc.
As
of
June 30, 2007, we had a total of principal balance of $1,355,000 outstanding
under our secured revolving credit facility with Stanford, which bears interest
at a fixed rate of 8% per annum and was to mature on January 1, 2008, but which
has since been extended pursuant to the March 2007 Note Modification Agreement
to the New Maturity Date. At the sole election of the lender, any amount
outstanding under the credit facility may be converted into shares of our common
stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share.
As
of
June 30, 2007, we had another credit facility in the amount of $305,000 with
Stanford. The credit facility bears interest at 8.0% per annum and is secured
by
the assets and stock of the Company. The credit facility was due on January
1,
2008 but has since been extended pursuant to the March 2007 Note Modification
Agreement to the New Maturity Date.
On
March
13, 2007, we entered into a $10,000,000 Credit Agreement with SIBL, whereby
SIBL
agreed to loan us $10,000,000 to use for the construction and development of
Phase 2 of the Sonesta Resort. The loan was evidenced by a $10,000,000
Promissory Note, which bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The
Promissory Note is secured by a second priority security interest and lien
on
the land underlying Phase 2 of the Sonesta Resort, all buildings, structures
and
other improvements on such land, and all fixtures, equipment, goods, inventory
or property owned by us currently or in the future, which security interests
are
evidenced
by a Mortgage and Security Agreement, which we and several of our wholly owned
subsidiaries entered into with SIBL in connection with the Credit Agreement.
The
loan is due in full and payable along with any accrued and unpaid interest
on
March 13, 2008. Any amounts not paid when due under the loan bear interest
at
the rate of 15% per annum.
The
SIBL
Credit Agreement is personally guaranteed by our Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman, Malcolm J. Wright, who will earn a fee of warrants to purchase shares
of our common stock equal to 3% of such guaranteed indebtedness at an exercise
price of $1.02 per share, in connection with the debt guarantor agreement we
have in place with Mr. Wright.
The
Credit Agreement provided a provision whereby, in order to induce SIBL to enter
into the Credit Agreement, we agreed to issue SIBL (or its assigns) warrants
to
purchase up to 350,000 shares of our common stock at $1.02 per share, with
a
cashless exercise provision on a pro-rata basis in connection with advances
under the Credit Agreement.
We
have
received $10,000,000 from SIBL pursuant to the Credit Agreement as of June
30,
2007, and issued SIBL 350,000 warrants in connection with the receipt of such
funds, which funds were released prior to our entry into the Credit
Agreement.
All
of
our credit facilities with SIBL contain customary covenants and restrictions,
including covenants that prohibit us from incurring certain types of
indebtedness, paying dividends and making specified distributions. Failure
to
comply with these covenants and restrictions would constitute an event of
default under our credit facilities, notwithstanding our ability to meet our
debt service obligations. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lender
may convert the debt to the Company's common stock, accelerate amounts due
under
the applicable credit facility, and may foreclose on collateral and/or seek
payment from a guarantor of the credit facility. As of the filing of this
report, we believe we are in compliance with the covenants and other
restrictions applicable to us under each credit facility.
On
April
23, 2007, we entered into a $10,000,000 Credit Agreement with Resorts Funding
Group, LLC, whose managing partner is Malcolm J. Wright, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman, who does not have an ownership interest in such entity
(“Resorts Funding”), on substantially similar terms to the SIBL Credit
Agreement, described above, whereby Resorts Funding agreed to loan us
$10,000,000 to use for the construction and development of Phase 2 of the
Sonesta Resort. The loan was evidenced by a $10,000,000 Promissory Note, which
bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The Promissory Note is secured
by a
second priority security interest and lien on the land underlying Phase 2 of
the
Sonesta Resort, all buildings, structures and other improvements on such land,
and all fixtures, equipment, goods, inventory or property owned by us currently
or in the future, which security interests are evidenced by a Mortgage and
Security Agreement, which we and several of our wholly owned subsidiaries
entered into with Resorts Funding in connection with the Credit Agreement.
The
loan is due in full and payable along with any accrued and unpaid interest
on
March 13, 2008. Any amounts not paid when due under the loan bear interest
at
the rate of 15% per annum. The Resorts Funding loan is personally guaranteed
by
our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Malcolm J. Wright, who will earn
a fee
of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock equal to 3% of such
guaranteed indebtedness at an exercise price of $1.02 per share, in connection
with the debt guarantor agreement we have in place with Mr. Wright.
The
Credit Agreement provided a provision whereby, in order to induce Resorts
Funding to enter into the Credit Agreement, we agreed to issue Resorts Funding
(or its assigns) warrants to purchase up to 350,000 shares of our common stock
at $1.02 per share, with a cashless exercise provision on a pro-rata basis
in
connection with advances under the Credit Agreement.
We
also
agreed, pursuant to the Credit Agreement with Resorts Funding, that we would
pay
Resorts Funding an exit fee upon the repayment of the amounts owed to Resorts
Funding of $200,000.
We
had
received $10,000,000 from Resorts Funding Group, LLC, as of June 30, 2007,
and
issued Resorts Funding 350,000 warrants in connection with the receipt of such
funds, which funds were released prior to our entry into the Credit
Agreement.
During
April we drew a total of $5,810,000 on the Resorts Funding Group LLC credit
facility and $5,900,000 on the SIBL credit facility, respectively granted
Resorts Funding Group LLC 262,500 additional warrants and SIBL 262,500additional
warrants based on the amounts loaned.
Our
subsidiary Hickory Travel Systems, Inc. owes $250,000 to Sabre, Inc. ("Sabre"),
which final payment of $250,000 on such amount was due December 31, 2003. The
amount originally accrued interest at 8% per annum and is secured by the
personal guaranty of L. William Chiles who is a Director of the Company.
Interest has not been paid or accrued on this amount since December 31, 2003,
as
there is no interest penalty or default rate applicable to the final unpaid
payment. Sabre has not requested the final payment of $250,000 of the amount
due
from Hickory to date.
Additionally,
Hickory has a $375,900 loan through the U.S. Small Business Administration
("SBA") of which $356,325 had been drawn as of June 30, 2007. The SBA loan
is
due by May 2033 and bears interest at 4% per annum with principal and interest
payments of approximately $1,862 due monthly from May 2005 until May 2033.
The
SBA note is secured by Hickory's assets and the personal guaranty of L. William
Chiles, who is our Director.
In
connection with the exercise of the Reedy Creek Option, Reedy Creek Acquisition
Company and SIBL agreed to modify the terms of the SIBL Reedy Creek Loan made
by
SIBL to Reedy Creek Acquisition Company. The modified loan terms are evidenced
by a Renewed, Amended and Increased Promissory Note (the "Amended Note") made
by
Reedy Creek Acquisition Company in favor of SIBL. The Amended Note had a
principal balance of $8,000,000, bears interest at the rate of 8% per year
and
had a maturity date of December 31, 2006, but has since been extended as
provided below. The Amended Note was replaced in November 2006, by a Renewed,
Amended and Increased Promissory Note in the amount of $12,200,000 (the "RC
Note"), which was in turn replaced by an additional amendment, which increased
the amount of the note to $13,420,000, and a fourth amendment in January 2007,
which increased the amount of the note to $15,300,000, in connection with a
$1,880,000 advance received from Reedy Creek (the “Amended RC Note”). The
Amended RC Note was due and payable on June 30, 2007, with $8,000,000 of the
Amended RC Note bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum and the remaining
$7,300,000 bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum; however, the maturity
date of the Amended RC Note has since been extended pursuant to the March 2007
Note Modification Agreement to the New Maturity Date, as defined
above.
The
principal and accrued interest due on the Amended RC Note is due and payable
on
the maturity date of the Amended RC Note. Upon an event of default as described
in the Amended RC Note, SIBL has several rights and remedies, including causing
the Amended RC Note to be immediately due and payable.
The
Amended RC Note is secured by a second lien on the Reedy Creek Property. It
is
guaranteed by the Company and Malcolm J. Wright, the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman pursuant to a Modification and Reaffirmation of Guaranty
and Environmental Indemnity Agreement. We believe that without the guarantees
of
Mr. Wright, it would have been more difficult, if not impossible, for us to
secure such loan facility. In consideration for Mr. Wright's guarantee, and
pursuant to an existing agreement between Mr. Wright and the Company, Mr. Wright
earned a fee equal to three percent (3%) of the principal amount of the Amended
Note. The Company paid this fee through the grant of warrants to Mr. Wright
to
purchase 240,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price
of
$1.02 per share. These warrants will expire 5 years from the expiration of
the
guaranty.
In
connection with the exercise of the Reedy Creek Option, the Company and Reedy
Creek Acquisition Company arranged to receive a $7,000,000 loan from Bankers
Credit Corporation ("Bankers Credit"). Under the terms of the Bankers Credit
loan, Bankers Credit advanced Reedy Creek Acquisition Company $3,000,000 at
closing and an additional $4,000,000 subsequent to the date of closing, for
an
aggregate of $7,000,000.
The
Bankers Credit loan is evidenced by a Promissory Note which previously accrued
interest at the greater of the Wall Street Journal published prime rate plus
7.75%, not to exceed the highest rate allowable under Florida law or 15% per
year. The interest rate of the note as of June 30, 2007 was 15% (with a prime
rate, as
reported by the Wall Street Journal of 8.25%). In February 2007, we entered
into
an Amended and Restated Promissory Note with Bankers Credit, which increased
the
amount of the note to $7,860,000 in connection with an $860,000 advance and
extended the due date of the note from January 3, 2007 to February 1, 2008,
and
decreased the interest rate to the greater of prime rate plus 6.75% or 15%,
which is equal to 15% as of the date of this filing (the "Bankers Credit
Note").
Interest
on the Bankers Credit Note is payable monthly. Pursuant to the Bankers Credit
Note, Reedy Creek Acquisition Company agreed to pay a 10% late charge on any
amount of unpaid principal or interest under the Bankers Credit Note. The
Bankers Credit Note is subject to a 1% exit fee. Upon an event of default as
described in the Bankers Credit Note, Bankers Credit has several rights and
remedies, including causing the Bankers Credit Note to be immediately due and
payable.
The
Bankers Credit Note is secured by a first lien on the Reedy Creek Property.
Additionally, the Bankers Credit Note is guaranteed by the Company and Malcolm
J. Wright, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman pursuant to a
Guaranty Agreement. We believe that without the guarantees of Mr. Wright, it
would have been more difficult, if not impossible, for us to secure the Bankers
Credit, loan facility. In consideration for Mr. Wright's guarantee, and pursuant
to an existing agreement between Mr. Wright and the Company, Mr. Wright earned
a
fee equal to three percent (3%) of the Bankers Credit Note. The Company paid
this fee through the grant of warrants to Mr. Wright to purchase 210,000 shares
of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.02 per share. These
warrants will expire 5 years from the expiration of the guaranty.
Reedy
Creek Acquisition Company utilized the initial proceeds from the Bankers Credit
loan to pay a portion of the amount owed on the existing first mortgage note
issued to the sellers of the Reedy Creek Property. The holder of this mortgage
agreed to release the mortgage in exchange for this payment.
In
August
2006, we received an aggregate of $5,714,569 in loans from West Villas, Inc.,
Orlando Tennis Village, Inc. and Maingate Towers, Inc., entities controlled
by
Roger Maddock, a significant shareholder of the Company. The loans bear interest
at the rate of 16% per annum until paid and are due and payable one year from
the date such loans were made. The loan has been repaid as of June 30,
2007.
On
December 22, 2006 the Company acquired 100% of South Beach Resorts, LLC (“SBR”
or “Resorts”) for $1,120,000 plus 25% participation interest granted to Stanford
International Bank Limited in the net proceeds realized by SBR upon the
disposition of its Boulevard Hotel property located in Miami Beach, Florida.
We
also entered into a note with Roger Maddock a significant shareholder of us,
to
evidence $3,590,811 in loans and advances Mr. Maddock had previously made to
Resorts (the "Maddock Note").
On
January 11, 2007, Resorts, our wholly owned subsidiary defaulted on a loan
due
to Marathon Structured Finance Fund L.P. ("Marathon"). The loan principal is
$7,498,900 and accrued interest of $79,910 was due at January 11, 2007. Marathon
has a mortgage interest on the Property in connection with the loan. A
Forbearance Agreement was subsequently executed with Marathon to waive the
default until April 11, 2007, provided SBR continued to make monthly interest
payments on the debt outstanding and a principal payment of $750,000 was made
on
February 8, 2007, which payment and monthly payments have been made to date,
and
which forbearance was subsequently extended to July 11, 2007, pursuant to the
terms of the Forbearance Agreement.
On
or
around July 11, 2007, we entered into the First Amendment to Forbearance
Agreement with LaSalle, whereby LaSalle agreed to extend the terms of the
Forbearance Agreement until 5:00 P.M. on October 11, 2007, assuming that we
continue to make the required payments of interest on the loan, and no event
of
default occurs under the loan. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the First
Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement, we paid all accrued interest due under
the loan in connection with our entry into such agreement, totaling
approximately $64,442, with $6,248,900 of outstanding principal due under the
loan as of July 11, 2007; $500,000 which was paid as a principal reduction
in
connection with the extension of the note; LaSalle’s reasonable attorneys fees
in connection with the First Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement; and an
additional fee of $50,000 in connection with the extension to
LaSalle.
We
are
currently working to secure new financing to replace the Marathon loan; however
we can provide no assurances that such financing will be raised on favorable
terms, if at all. The Marathon loan bears interest at the rate of the greater
of
(a) ten percent (10%) or (b) the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus
seven percent (7%). The note also required a $180,000 exit fee to be paid at
the
time the loan was repaid, which amount has not been paid to date. Marathon
may
also require us to pay a 5% late payment fee in connection with our failure
to
repay the loan amount. We are required to pay the default rate of interest
on
the Marathon loan while obtaining a replacement loan. The default rate of
interest is LIBOR plus twelve percent (12%), which was equal to approximately
17.22%, with the LIBOR at 5.22% as of the filing of this Report.
On
January 30, 2007, AMLH entered into a promissory note with Applebee Holding
Company in the amount of $150,000 at 4% for seven years. As part of the
agreement, 2,840 shares of AMLH Series E Convertible Preferred Stock were issued
bearing a 4% per annum cumulative preferred dividend rate, par value of $.001
and convertible into AMLH common stock at a strike price of $15.00 per
share.
On
February 9, 2007, SBR entered into a 180 day, $750,000 loan agreement at the
Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 1%, currently equal to 9.25%, with the
prime
rate at 8.25% as of the filing of this report, with International Property
Investors AG, a corporation organized under the laws of Liechtenstein, secured
by SBR’s property. The proceeds of the loan were used solely for the payment of
fees owed by SBR to Marathon pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement.
On
March
31, 2007, we, various of our wholly owned subsidiaries, and Malcolm J. Wright,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, entered into a Note Modification
Agreement with SIBL (the “March 2007 Note Modification Agreement”). Pursuant to
the March 2007 Note Modification Agreement, we, SIBL and Mr. Wright agreed
that
the maturity dates of our $15,300,000 RC Note payable to SIBL, $3,000,000 note
payable to SIBL, $1,355,000 note payable to SIBL, $305,000 note owed to SIBL
and
$10,000,000 March 2007 note payable to SIBL shall all be extended to the earlier
of (a) a public offering by us, or any company that acquires a majority of
any
class of stock or assets of us, which raises no less than $100,000,000; or
(b)
August 1, 2008 (the “New Maturity Date”), with any accrued and unpaid interest
payable on such New Maturity Date.
Recent
Events:
On
April
20, 2007, certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries which are engaged in the
construction and development of the Sonesta Resort, including Costa Blanca
Real
Estate II, LLC, Costa Blanca III Real Estate, LLC, TDS Town Homes (Phase 1),
LLC, and TDS Town Homes (Phase 2), LLC (the “Borrowers”), entered into a Loan
and Security Agreement with Kennedy Funding, Inc. as agent for certain lenders
(collectively “Kennedy” and the “Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the Loan
Agreement, Kennedy agreed to make a loan to the Borrowers of up to $24,900,000.
The Loan Agreement provides that the Borrowers will receive an advance equal
to
$22,000,000 for repayment of an existing loan, closing costs and fees, and
construction of the Sonesta Resort; additionally, another $2,900,000 will be
held back from the initial loan funds and will be disbursed to the Borrowers
from time to time to construct one of the swimming pools in the Sonesta Resort,
subject to the Borrowers complying with the representations and warranties
described in the Loan Agreement, and subject to the loan to value ratio of
amounts loaned by Kennedy, in connection with the Sonesta Resort not exceeding
60%. Additionally, approximately $1,786,000 of the amount loaned by Kennedy
was
immediately paid by the Borrowers in connection with closing costs and to pay
Kennedy’s commitment and loan fees, and an additional $2,196,000 of the amount
loaned was paid to Kennedy as an interest reserve, which amount is to be
credited against the amount of monthly interest due under the loan, as such
interest payments become due and payable, as described below. We used
approximately $15,285,000 of the funds raised through the Loan Agreement to
repay all amounts owed under and to satisfy our Land Loan with KeyBank, National
Association, which we entered into in December 2005, and plan to use the
remaining funds received by the Borrowers from the Loan Agreement to continue
the construction of the Sonesta Resort. Events of default under the Loan
Agreement include, among other things, if one or more judgments are entered
against any Borrower or guarantor of the Loan Agreement, in excess of $25,000,
which are not fully paid or covered by insurance, and which have not been
discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within ninety days of the entry
thereof.
In
connection with the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers provided Kennedy a Promissory
Note in the amount of $24,900,000 (the “Kennedy Note”). The Kennedy Note, and
any accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable on April 20, 2010. The
Kennedy Note does not contain a pre-payment penalty The Kennedy Note bears
interest at varying rates of interest over the course of the note term, which
interest is due and payable monthly, in arrears, including:
(a)
|
12%
per annum for the first month that the Kennedy Note is
outstanding;
|
(b)
|
The
greater of 12% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 3 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from May 2007 through April 2008;
|
(c)
|
The
greater of 16% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 7 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from May 2008 through April 2009; and
|
(d)
|
The
greater of 18% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 9 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from May 2009, through the maturity date of the
Kennedy
Note.
|
Any
amounts not paid under the Kennedy Note when due bear interest at the rate
of
24% per annum until paid in full.
The
outstanding balance of the Kennedy Note was secured by a security interest
granted to Kennedy by the Borrowers in substantially all of their personal
property and assets. As additional security, American Leisure Holdings, Inc.,
TDS Amenities, Inc., a Florida corporation, which is owned by Tierra del Sol
Resort, Inc., and Malcolm J. Wright, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman
entered into a Guaranty Agreement in favor of Kennedy, which guaranteed the
repayment of the Kennedy Note. Furthermore, the Borrowers agreed to assign
their
rights to various of our licenses, leases, permits and approvals to Kennedy
to
secure the repayment of the Kennedy Note and in connection with the security
agreement provided to Kennedy. Mr. Wright earned a fee equal to 747,000 warrants
to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.02 in
connection with his guaranty of the Kennedy Note.
In
addition to guarantying the repayment of the Kennedy Note, the Borrowers and
TDS
Amenities, Inc. granted Kennedy a Mortgage Agreement encumbering approximately
38 acres of property in our Sonesta Resort which the Borrowers own, to secure
the repayment of the Kennedy Note. American Leisure Holdings, Inc. the
Borrowers, and Mr. Wright also guarantied that all of the property secured
by
the Mortgage Agreement fully complies with all environmental laws and agreed
to
indemnify Kennedy against any damages in connection with the violation of any
environmental hazardous waste disposal laws or regulations.
On
June
26, 2007, Kennedy and the Borrowers entered into a First Amendment to Loan
and
Security Agreement and Other Loan Documents (the “First Amendment to Loan”) in
connection with the Loan Agreement, whereby the parties agreed to add as an
event of default under the Loan Agreement, a default under the Second Kennedy
Note (as defined below); agreed that the amount secured by the Kennedy Note
would be cross collateralized with the Second Kennedy Note, and that any default
under the Second Kennedy Note of the Second Kennedy Agreements (as defined
below), would constitute an event of default under the Loan Agreement, as
amended. The First Amendment to the Loan also provided that Kennedy has the
right to assign the Kennedy Note; that Kennedy is required to consent to any
amendment of the Kennedy Note, or related documents entered into in connection
with the Kennedy Loan Agreement (the “Kennedy Agreements”), and/or consent to
any release of collateral secured by the Kennedy Loan; that Kennedy is able
to
advertise the fact that it made a loan to us, and/or erect signs on our
properties publicizing Kennedy’s role in our funding, with our consent, which
will not be unreasonable withheld; changed the prepayment requirements related
to the Borrower’s prepayment of the Kennedy Note; and provided Kennedy a
security interest in any and all deposits received by the Borrowers in
connection with the purchase of any of our condominiums and/or townhouses on
the
Mortgaged Property, among other things (the “Amendments”).
We
also
entered into a First Amendment to Mortgage and Security Agreement and an Amended
and Restated Promissory Note with Kennedy to confirm and reflect the Amendments.
Additionally, we entered into
a
Reaffirmation of Guaranty, to reaffirm our previous guaranty of, and security
interest granted in connection with the Kennedy Note and the Kennedy Agreements
as amended.
On
or
about March 28, 2007, we obtained a Letter of Credit from First Commercial
Bank
of Florida (“First Commercial”) in the amount of $991,217.05, which amount has
been loaned to us in full by First Commercial, which amount bears interest
at
the Prime Rate plus 1.5% per annum, currently equal to 9.75%, with the Prime
Rate at 8.25% as of the filing of this report. Interest on the Line of Credit
is
payable monthly in arrears. The amount due under the Line of Credit is due
and
payable, along with any accrued and unpaid interest on March 28, 2008. The
Line
of Credit is secured by a mortgage and security interest on certain property
in
the Sonesta Resort. The closing costs associated with the Line of Credit totaled
approximately $25,000. The Letter of Credit is secured by certain of our wholly
owned subsidiaries, and Malcolm J. Wright, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman.
On
June
26, 2007, Costa Blanca I Real Estate, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of our
wholly owned subsidiary, Tierra Del Sol Resort (Phase 1), Ltd. (“Costa Blanca”),
entered into a Loan and Security Agreement and related agreements (the “Second
Kennedy Agreements”) with Kennedy, whereby Kennedy agreed to loan Costa Blanca
$4,450,000 (the “Second Loan Agreement”). In connection with the Second Loan
Agreement, Costa Blanca provided Kennedy a Promissory Note in the amount of
$4,450,000 (the “Second Kennedy Note”). The Second Kennedy Note, and any accrued
and unpaid interest is due and payable on June 25, 2010. The Second Kennedy
Note
does not contain a pre-payment penalty. The Second Kennedy Note bears interest
at varying rates of interest over the course of the note term, which interest
is
due and payable monthly, in arrears, including:
(a)
|
12%
per annum for the first month that the Second Kennedy Note is
outstanding;
|
(b)
|
The
greater of 12% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 3 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from July 2007 through June 2008;
|
(c)
|
The
greater of 16% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 7 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from July 2008 through June 2009;
and
|
(d)
|
The
greater of 18% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 9 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from July 2009, through the maturity date of the
Second
Kennedy Note.
|
Any
amounts not paid under the Second Kennedy Note when due bear interest at the
rate of 24% per annum until paid in full. Additionally, any payment of interest
not paid within five (5) days of the date it is due is charged a one-time
penalty equal to the lesser of: (i) ten percent (10%) of such payment or (ii)
the maximum amount permitted by law.
The
$3,950,000 initial advance under the Second Kennedy Note, which was advanced
on
or around June 26, 2007, included $464,000 which was paid to Kennedy as a
closing fee; $445,000 which is to be credited against interest payments due
under the Second Kennedy Note; and approximately $178,000 in closing costs,
brokers fees and legal fees in connection with the loan. The remaining $500,000
in loan funds was held back from the initial advance, and will be disbursed
to
Costa Blanca from time to time to construct one of the swimming pools in the
Sonesta Resort, subject to the Borrowers complying with the representations
and
warranties described in the Second Loan Agreement, and subject to the
loan-to-value ratio of amounts loaned by Kennedy, not exceeding 60% of the
then
value of the Sonesta Resort. Additionally, Costa Blanca agreed to pay all of
Kennedy’s out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Second Kennedy
Note and funding. The net proceeds of loan are being utilized by Costa Blanca
for construction costs and working capital associated with the Sonesta
Resort.
The
Second Loan Agreement provided that Costa Blanca can not create, incur or suffer
any indebtedness other than the Kennedy Note and the Second Kennedy Note, other
than up to $25,000,000 in additional loans which may be obtained from Stanford
International Bank Limited and/or Resorts Funding Group, LLC, which shall be
subordinate to the Second Kennedy Note and security interests granted
therewith.
Additionally,
assuming that no Event of Default has occurred under the Second Kennedy Note,
in
the event that Costa Blanca or any of the Borrowers repays an amount equal
to at
least $16,000,000 of the amount due
under
the Kennedy Note and Second Kennedy Note by the six (6) month anniversary of
the
Second Loan Agreement closing date, the Borrowers will receive a credit of
$150,000 against the amount then owed. Similarly, in the event that Costa Blanca
or the Borrowers repays $18,000,000 of the amount due within the six (6) month
anniversary of the Second Loan Agreement closing date, they will receive a
credit of $200,000 against amounts then owed. Finally, assuming that the terms
and conditions of the Second Kennedy Note are complied with in full, and no
Event of Default has occurred, Costa Blanca will receive a refund of $50,000
of
the prepaid interest held on the Second Kennedy Note.
The
outstanding balance of the Second Kennedy Note was secured by a security
interest granted to Kennedy by Costa Blanca in substantially all of its personal
property and assets, including certain real property in Polk County, Florida,
pursuant to the parties’ entry into a Mortgage and Security Agreement. As
additional security, American Leisure Holdings, Inc., TDS Amenities, Inc.,
a
Florida corporation, which is owned by Tierra del Sol Resort, Inc., and Malcolm
J. Wright, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, entered into a Guaranty
Agreement in favor of Kennedy, which guaranteed the repayment of the Second
Kennedy Note. Furthermore, Costa Blanca agreed to assign its rights to several
of its licenses, leases, permits and approvals to Kennedy to secure the
repayment of the Second Kennedy Note. Mr. Wright earned a fee equal to 133,500
warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.02
in
connection with his guaranty of the Kennedy Note.
Central
Florida Note
On
or
around June 29, 2007, TDS Amenities, Inc. and TDS Town Homes (Phase 2), LLC
(collectively “TDS”), two of our wholly owned subsidiaries issued Central
Florida Ventures, L.L.C. a Promissory Note (the “Central Florida Note”) in the
amount of $4,000,000 in connection with a $4,000,000 loan made to TDS. The
Central Florida Note is due and payable on June 29, 2008, and any amount
outstanding on the Central Florida Note bears interest at the rate of thirteen
percent (13%) per annum, compounded monthly until paid in full on the maturity
date. Any amount not paid on the Central Florida Note when due is subject to
a
“late charge” of 5% of such unpaid amount. TDS is able to repay all or any
portion of the Central Florida Note at any time without penalty. In the event
the Central Florida Note is not paid in full when due, any amounts then
outstanding will bear interest at the highest rate allowable by Florida
law.
In
July
2007, an additional $1,000,000 was advanced by Central Florida pursuant to
Central Florida Note described above.
While
we
currently believe we have sufficient funds to continue our business plan,
because we have decided not to move forward with the KeyBank Construction Loan,
we will need to find alternative financing for the construction of Phase 1
of
the Sonesta Resort, of which there can be no assurance. We have
raised the required funding to continue the planned construction of Phase 1
of
the Sonesta Resort in connection with the Admission and related transactions
described above (the “BVI Transaction.
Additionally,
we have established a relationship with GMAC Bank, through Millennium Capital
Mortgage, to provide construction financing to the individual purchasers of
the
Sonesta Resort town homes, which funding we believe will enable all town homes
and amenities at Tierra del Sol to be built through this program. Assuming
we
are able to enter into a subsequent funding arrangement, we believe that we
will
have sufficient funds to provide for the completion of Phase 1, assuming there
are no material cost overruns, delays or further increases in material costs.
Phase 2 will be financed separately.
However,
even if we are able to secure sufficient financing for the construction of
Phase
1 of the Sonesta Resort, moving forward, our growth and continued operations
may
be impaired by limitations on our access to the capital markets. In the event
that our current anticipated costs of developing the Sonesta Resort and/or
the
Reedy Creek Property, are more than we anticipate, and/or our other travel
service operations do not continue to generate revenue at their current levels,
we may not have sufficient funds to complete such construction projects and/or
repay amounts owed on the notes payable described above. As a result, we may
be
forced to reduce our annual construction goals and maintain our operations
at
current levels, and/or scale
back our operations which could have a material adverse impact upon our ability
to pursue our business plan and/or the value or common stock. There can be
no
assurance that capital from outside sources will be available, or if such
financing is available, that it will not involve issuing additional securities
senior to our common stock or equity financings which are dilutive to holders
of
our common stock.
While
our
common stock currently trades on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board in the
United States, as disclosed above, are a party to the BVI Transaction described
above in the future, which may cause substantial dilution to our then
shareholders. While the planned result of the BVI Transaction is for us to
continue to trade our common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board
moving
forward, there can be no assurance that this will remain the plan and/or
that we
may cease to trade our common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board
and/or on a U.S. market in the future, of which there can be no
assurance.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
do not
have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely
to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.

WE
HAVE A LIMITED HISTORY OF OPERATIONS AND WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING
LOSSES.
Since
our
inception, we have been assembling our Travel Division including the acquisition
of Hickory in October 2003 and TraveLeaders in December 2004, planning The
Sonesta Orlando Resort at Tierra Del Sol, building travel club membership
databases, and assembling our management team. We have incurred net operating
losses since our inception. As June 30, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit
of
$24,902,930 and negative working capital of $38,027,273. If we are
unable to obtain profitable operations and/or meeting our current liabilities,
we could be forced to curtail or abandon our operations, which could cause
any
investment in the Company to become worthless.
WE
MAY NOT GENERATE ENOUGH OPERATING REVENUE OR CAPITAL TO MEET OUR OPERATING
AND
DEVELOPMENT COSTS.
Our
costs
of establishing our business models for both the Travel Division and the Resort
Development Division, including acquisitions and the due diligence costs of
that
process, together with the un-financed development costs incurred in the Resort
Development Division require significant capital. Historically, our sources
for
capital have been through loans from our founding and majority shareholders
as
well as from loans from our capital partner, Stanford. On December 29, 2005,
certain affiliates of the Company closed two (2) credit facilities with Key
Bank
related to the Sonesta Resort. The credit facilities consisted of a $40,000,000
revolving construction loan which we planned to use to construct Phase 1 of
the
Sonesta Resort (the "Construction Loan"), but which we have subsequently elected
not to open and a $14,850,000 term loan used to finance the acquisition of
the
property for the Resort and to pay certain related costs (the "Land Loan"),
which was repaid in full in April 2007. As of June 30, 2007, we had received
approximately $22,000,000 for funding of the Sonesta Resort through our entry
into the April 2007 Kennedy funding, $4,450,000 through our entry into the
June
Kennedy funding, $4,000,000 through the Central Florida loan (which an
additional $1,000,000 advance was provided to us in connection with subsequent
to June 30, 2007), and the right to up to $20,000,000 in funding through the
SIBL and Resorts Funding loans described above, pursuant to which we had
borrowed $20,000,000 as of June 30, 2007.
Since
we
have not decided to move forward with the Construction Loan financing, we will
need to obtain alternative financing for the construction of Phase 1 of the
Sonesta Resort, which may be on less favorable terms than the Construction
Loan,
if such financing is available at all. We currently anticipate that we will
raise the additional required funding to continue the planned construction
of
Phase 1 of the Sonesta Resort in connection with the Admission and related
transactions described above (the “BVI Transaction”), which we can provide no
assurances will close. If we are unable to enter into an alternative
funding arrangement in connection with the construction of Phase 1 of the
Sonesta Resort, generate enough operating revenue to satisfy our capital needs,
or if we cannot obtain future capital from our founding and majority
shareholders or from Stanford, and/or if we are not able to repay the Kennedy
Note or any other of our upcoming liabilities, which are described in greater
detail herein, it will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition
and results of operation.
A
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OUR LIABILITIES ARE CURRENT LIABILITIES WHICH ARE DUE
WITHIN THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS, AND WHICH WE DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE SUFFICIENT
CASH ON HAND TO REPAY.
As
of
June 30, 2007, we had a total of $46,863,692 in current liabilities,
representing various loan and funding arrangements described in greater detail
above, which liabilities are payable within the next twelve months. As we do
not
currently have sufficient cash on hand to repay these amounts as of the filing
of this report, we anticipate the need to raise substantial funding in the
next
six to twelve months to repay these notes, which funding, if available, could
be
on unfavorable terms and which could cause immediate and substantial dilution
to
our then existing shareholders. If we are unable to repay our substantial
current liabilities
when due, we could be forced to curtail or abandon our business operations,
which could cause the value of our securities to become
worthless.
WE
HAVE RECEIVED $4,355,000 OF CONVERTIBLE DEBT FINANCING FROM STANFORD, WHICH
IS
SECURED BY MORTGAGES ON OUR PROPERTY AND LIENS ON OUR
ASSETS.
We
have
received an aggregate of $4,355,000 of convertible debt financing from Stanford.
The terms of our financial arrangements with Stanford are secured by the
following mortgages on our properties and liens on our assets:
|
-
|
Our
$3,000,000 credit facility is secured by collateral assignments of
our
stock in American Leisure Marketing & Technology, Inc., Orlando
Holidays, Inc, American Leisure, Inc, Welcome To Orlando, Inc., American
Travel & Marketing Group, Inc. and Hickory Travel Systems,
Inc.
|
|
-
|
Our
$1,355,000 credit facility is secured by all of the issued and outstanding
stock of our subsidiaries American Leisure Marketing & Technology,
Inc., Orlando Holidays, Inc, American Leisure, Inc., Welcome To Orlando,
Inc., American Travel & Marketing Group, Inc. and Hickory Travel
Systems, Inc. This facility is non-recourse to the Company but for
the
assets and revenues of those
subsidiaries.
|
If
we
fail to comply with the covenants in our credit facilities, Stanford can elect
to accelerate the amounts due under the credit facilities and may foreclose
on
our assets and property that secures the loans.
BUSINESS
ACQUISITIONS OR JOINT VENTURES MAY DISRUPT OUR BUSINESS, DILUTE SHAREHOLDER
VALUE OR DISTRACT MANAGEMENT ATTENTION.
As
part
of our business strategy, we may consider the acquisition of, or investments
in,
other businesses that offer services and technologies complementary to ours.
If
the analysis used to value acquisitions is faulty, the acquisitions could have
a
material adverse affect on our operating results and/or the price of our common
stock. Acquisitions also entail numerous risks, including:
|
-
|
difficulty
in assimilating the operations, products and personnel of the acquired
business;
|
|
-
|
potential
disruption of our ongoing business;
|
|
-
|
unanticipated
costs associated with the
acquisition;
|
|
-
|
inability
of management to manage the financial and strategic position of acquired
or developed services and
technologies;
|
|
-
|
the
diversion of management's attention from our core
business;
|
|
-
|
inability
to maintain uniform standards, controls, policies and
procedures;
|
|
-
|
impairment
of relationships with employees and customers, which may occur as
a result
of integration of the acquired
business;
|
|
-
|
potential
loss of key employees of acquired
organizations;
|
|
-
|
problems
integrating the acquired business, including its information systems
and
personnel;
|
|
-
|
unanticipated
costs that may harm operating results;
and
|
|
-
|
risks
associated with entering an industry in which we have no (or limited)
prior experience.
|
If
any of
these occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition may
be
materially adversely affected.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR RESORT DEVELOPMENT DIVISION
WE
OWE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO KENNEDY FUNDING, INC., WHICH WE DO NOT
CURRENTLY HAVE FUNDS TO RE-PAY, AND WHICH LOANS INCLUDE LIENS ON OUR
PROPERTIES.
In
April
2007, we closed a $24,900,000 loan facility with Kennedy Funding, Inc.
(“Kennedy”), of which we have received $20,376,700 to date. We immediately used
approximately $15,285,000 to repay our previous Land Loan with Keybank.
Additionally, approximately $1,786,000 of the amount loaned by Kennedy was
immediately paid by the Borrowers in connection with closing costs and to pay
Kennedy’s commitment and loan fees, and an additional $2,196,000 of the amount
loaned was paid to Kennedy as an interest reserve, which amount is to be
credited against the amount of monthly interest due under the loan. The Kennedy
loan was evidenced by a Promissory Note in the amount of $24,900,000 (the
“Kennedy Note”), which is due and payable, along with any accrued and unpaid
interest on April 20, 2010. The Kennedy Note bears interest at
varying rates of interest over the course of the note term, which interest
is
due and payable monthly, in arrears, including:
(a)
|
12%
per annum for the first month that the Kennedy Note is
outstanding;
|
(b)
|
The
greater of 12% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 3 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from May 2007 through April 2008;
|
(c)
|
The
greater of 16% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 7 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from May 2008 through April 2009; and
|
(d)
|
The
greater of 18% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 9 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from May 2009, through the maturity date of the
Kennedy
Note.
|
On
June
26, 2007, Costa Blanca I Real Estate, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of our
wholly owned subsidiary, Tierra Del Sol Resort (Phase 1), Ltd. (“Costa Blanca”),
entered into a Loan and Security Agreement and related agreements (the “Second
Kennedy Agreements”) with Kennedy, whereby Kennedy agreed to loan Costa Blanca
$4,450,000 (the “Second Loan Agreement”). In connection with the
Second Loan Agreement, Costa Blanca provided Kennedy a Promissory Note in the
amount of $4,450,000 (the “Second Kennedy Note”). The Second Kennedy Note, and
any accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable on June 25, 2010. The Second
Kennedy Note does not contain a pre-payment penalty. The Second Kennedy Note
bears interest at varying rates of interest over the course of the note term,
which interest is due and payable monthly, in arrears, including:
(a)
|
12%
per annum for the first month that the Second Kennedy Note is
outstanding;
|
(b)
|
The
greater of 12% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 3 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from July 2007 through June 2008;
|
(c)
|
The
greater of 16% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 7 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from July 2008 through June 2009;
and
|
(d)
|
The
greater of 18% or the Prime Rate then in effect plus 9 and 3/4% per
annum
during the period from July 2009, through the maturity date of the
Second
Kennedy Note.
|
Any
amounts not paid under the Kennedy Note or Second Kennedy Note when due bear
interest at the rate of 24% per annum until paid in full.
The
outstanding balance of the Kennedy Note was secured by a security interest
granted to Kennedy by the Borrowers in substantially all of their personal
property and assets. The outstanding balance of the Second Kennedy Note was
secured by a security interest granted to Kennedy by Costa Blanca in
substantially all of its personal property and assets, including certain real
property in Polk County, Florida, pursuant to the parties’ entry into a Mortgage
and Security Agreement. As additional security, American Leisure Holdings,
Inc.,
TDS Amenities, Inc., a Florida corporation, which is owned by Tierra del Sol
Resort, Inc., and Malcolm
J. Wright, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman entered into a Guaranty
Agreement in favor of Kennedy, which guaranteed the repayment of the Kennedy
Note and the Second Kennedy Note. Furthermore, the Borrowers and Costa Blanca
agreed to assign their rights to various of our licenses, leases, permits and
approvals to Kennedy to secure the repayment of the Kennedy Note and the Second
Kennedy Note and in connection with the security agreement provided to
Kennedy.
As
of the
date of this filing, we do not have sufficient funds to repay the Kennedy
Note
or the Second Kennedy Note and as such, we will need to raise additional
capital
prior to April 20, 2010 and June 25, 2010, respectively, to repay such notes.
If
we are unable to repay the Kennedy Note and/or the Second Kennedy Note when
due
and/or if an event of default occurs under the notes, Kennedy make take control
of and/or force us to sell substantially all of our assets to satisfy such
debt,
which could force us to curtail or abandon our business plan and would like
cause any investment in us to become worthless.
WE
NEED SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL FINANCE FACILITIES TO BEGIN AND COMPLETE THE
DEVELOPMENT OF PHASE 2 OF THE SONESTA RESORT, TO CONTINUE THE VERTICAL
CONSTRUCTION OF PHASE 1 OF THE SONESTA RESORT AND TO BEGIN AND COMPLETE OUR
PLANNED CONSTRUCTION OF THE REEDY CREEK PROPERTY.
As
we
decided not to move forward with the Construction Loan, we currently anticipate
the need for a significant amount of additional funding to complete the
development of Phase 1 of the Sonesta Resort. Additionally, we do not currently
have sufficient capital to begin or complete Phase 2 of the Sonesta Resort
and/or our planned development of the Reedy Creek Property (as described above);
however, we currently anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to complete
a significant portion of the planned construction of Phase 1 of the Sonesta
Resort in connection with the funds raised pursuant to and in connection with
the Admission and related transactions described above (the “BVI
Transaction”),. Our plan for the financing of the Phase 2 town homes
is to use a program from a national mortgage lender to employ construction
loans
issued to each purchaser that will, upon completion, convert to permanent,
conventional mortgages. The finance plan for the Phase 2 amenities is to employ
a line of credit secured by a segment of the profits from the sale of the
residential units. We will employ a conventional construction loan for the
condominium units. As of this date, the Company has not yet secured the line
of
credit for the amenities or the construction loan for the condominium units.
It
is impossible at this time for us to estimate the cost of completing Phase
1 or
Phase 2 of the Sonesta Resort and/or the development of the Reedy Creek
Property, however, based upon the size of the projects, we would anticipate
such
costs to be substantial. We will not begin the construction of Phase 1 or Phase
2 until we have capitalized the construction appropriately. If we cannot obtain
the appropriate financing, we may have to delay the commencement of the
construction of Phase 1 and/or Phase 2 until such time as we have adequate
funding available. We may never have sufficient capital to begin or complete
the
development of Phase 1 or Phase 2 of the Sonesta Resort which could force us
to
modify or abandon the development plan for the Sonesta Resort. Our business
plan
for the development of the Reedy Creek Property is to enter into a partnership
agreement with an experienced and high credit development partner, and as such,
we do not expect to raise capital or incur debt to begin or complete that
project. At present, the Company has not yet chosen such partner although we
are
in receipt of proposals from qualified developers that are consistent with
our
business plan.
THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THE SONESTA RESORT IS SUBJECT TO DELAYS AND COST OVERRUNS,
WHICH
COULD CAUSE THE ESTIMATED COST OF THE RESORT TO INCREASE AND WHICH COULD CAUSE
US TO CURTAIL OR ABANDON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SONESTA
RESORT.
All
construction projects, especially construction projects as large as our planned
Sonesta Resort are subject to delays and cost overruns. We have experienced
very
significant cost increases and overruns since sales commenced in 2004, due
to
significant price increases in construction materials, which have been
exacerbated by the hurricanes of 2004 and 2005, as well as to a lesser extent
the threat of hurricanes in 2006 and 2007. The increased costs have impacted
construction throughout the southeastern United States and are not unique to
us.
Because of the significant cost increases, we plan to implement a program to
revise upwards the price of sold and unsold units or to cancel contracts on
units because of cost overruns. If we continue to experience substantial delays
or additional cost overruns during the construction of Phase 1 of the Sonesta
Resort and/or Phase 2, we could be forced to obtain additional financing to
complete the projects, which could be at terms worse than our then current
funding, assuming such funding is available to us at all, of which there can
be
no assurance, and could force us to curtail or abandon our current plans for
Phases 1 and 2 of the Sonesta Resort. As a result, sales of our town homes
and
condominiums could be severely effected, which could force us to curtail or
abandon our business plans and/or could make it difficult if not impossible
to
repay the significant amount of money due to Kennedy and Stanford (as explained
above), which as a result could cause the value of our securities to become
worthless.
EXCESSIVE
CLAIMS FOR DEVELOPMENT-RELATED DEFECTS IN ANY REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES THAT WE
PLAN TO BUILD THROUGH OUR RESORT DEVELOPMENT DIVISION COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT
OUR
LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
We
will
engage third-party contractors and have additionally engaged Resorts
Construction, LLC, which is 50% owned by our Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman, Malcolm J. Wright, to construct portions of our resorts. However,
our
customers may assert claims against us for construction defects or other
perceived development defects including, but not limited to, structural
integrity, the presence of mold as a result of leaks or other defects,
electrical issues, plumbing issues, or road construction, water or sewer
defects. In addition, certain state and local laws may impose liability on
property developers with respect to development defects discovered in the
future. To the extent that the contractors do not satisfy any proper claims
as
they are primarily responsible, and to the extent claims are not satisfied
by
third-party warranty coverage, claims for development-related defects could
be
brought against us. To the extent that claims brought against us are not covered
by insurance, our payment of those claims could adversely affect our liquidity,
financial condition, and results of operations.
MALCOLM
J. WRIGHT, WHO SERVES AS OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND AS CHAIRMAN OF THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS, IS INVOLVED IN OTHER BUSINESSES THAT HAVE CONTRACTED WITH
US
AND IS ALSO INVOLVED WITH PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THAT MAY BE IN
COMPETITION WITH US.
Malcolm
J. Wright is the President of American Leisure Real Estate Group, Inc., a real
estate development company with which we have contracted for the development
of
our resorts including The Sonesta Orlando Resort at Tierra Del Sol ("ALREG")
and
Reedy Creek Property. Mr. Wright has a 100% interest in ALREG. Additionally,
Mr.
Wright is an officer of Xpress Ltd., with which we have contracted for exclusive
sales and marketing for The Sonesta Orlando Resort at Tierra Del Sol and Reedy
Creek. Mr. Wright is also an officer and shareholder of Inovative Concepts,
Inc., which does not have any operations, M J Wright Productions, Inc., which
does not have any operations, but which owns our Internet domain names, Resorts
Development Group, LLC which develops resort properties in Orlando including
Bella Citta, Los Jardines Del Sol, The Preserve, Tortuga Cay and Sherberth
Development LLC, Resorts Construction, LLC with whom we have contracted to
construct part of the Sonesta Resort as described above, Resorts Concepts,
LLC
which operates a design business, and Titan Manufacturing, LLC from whom we
intend to purchase roof tiles for our developments. Additionally, Mr. Wright
also currently serves as an officer and Director of American Leisure Group
Limited, a newly formed British Virgin Islands
company, which currently holds approximately 90% of our outstanding capital
stock. Because Mr. Wright is employed by us and the other party to these
transactions, Mr. Wright might profit from a transaction when we do
not.
Management
believes that these transactions are in the best interest of, or not detrimental
to, the Company, and are as good or better than could be achieved, if even
possible to achieve, by contracting with a wholly unrelated party. Additionally,
the transactions were negotiated by us in a manner akin to an arms length
transaction. Additionally, from time to time, Mr. Wright pursues real estate
investment and sales ventures that may be in competition with ventures that
we
pursue or plan to pursue. Mr. Wright, however, has personally guaranteed
our
debts, and has encumbered his personal assets to secure financing for the
above
described projects.
BECAUSE
MALCOLM J. WRIGHT, WHO SERVES AS OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND THE CHAIRMAN
OF
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, IS INVOLVED IN A NUMBER OF OTHER BUSINESSES, HE MAY
NOT
BE ABLE OR WILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME TO OUR BUSINESS
OPERATIONS.
Malcolm
J. Wright is the President of ALREG, Xpress Ltd., Inovative Concepts, Inc.,
M J
Wright Productions, Inc., Resorts Development Group, LLC, Resorts Construction,
LLC, Titan Manufacturing LLC, Tortuga Cay Resort, LLC, Osceola Business
Managers, Inc., Florida World, Inc., SBR Holding LLC (a non trading holding
company which formerly held South Beach Resorts, LLC), RDG LLC, and SunGate
Resort Villas, Inc. Mr. Wright is engaged full-time as the Company's Chairman
and as a senior executive officer. Although Mr. Wright has not indicated any
intention to reduce his activities on behalf of the Company, we do not have
an
employment agreement with Mr. Wright and he is under no requirement to spend
a
specified amount of time on our business. If Mr. Wright does not spend
sufficient time serving our company, it could have a material adverse effect
on
our business and results of operations.
WE
MAY PROVIDE THE EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF OUR SUBSIDIARIES AN AGGREGATE BONUS OF
UP
TO 19% OF THE PRE-TAX PROFITS OF THE SUBSIDIARY IN WHICH THEY SERVE AS OUR
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, WHICH WOULD REDUCE ANY PROFITS THAT WE MAY
EARN.
We
may
provide the executive officers of each of our subsidiaries an aggregate bonus
of
up to 19% of the pre-tax profits, if any, of the subsidiaries in which they
serve as executive officers. For example, Malcolm J. Wright would receive 19%
of
the pre-tax profits of Leisureshare International Ltd, Leisureshare
International Espanola SA, American Leisure Homes, Inc., Advantage Professional
Management Group, Inc., Tierra Del Sol Resort, Inc., and Wright Resorts Villas
& Hotels, Inc. However, we do not have any agreements with our officers
regarding the bonus other than our agreement with L. William Chiles. Mr. Chiles
is entitled to receive 19% of the profits of Hickory up to a maximum payment
over the life of his contract of $2,700,000. As Mr. Chiles' bonus is limited,
it
is not subject to the buy-out by us described below. The executive officers
of
our other subsidiaries would share a bonus of up to 19% of the pre-tax profits
of the subsidiary in which they serve as executive officers. We would retain
the
right, but not the obligation to buy out all of the above agreements after
a
period of five years by issuing such number of shares of our common stock equal
to the product of 19% of the average after-tax profits for the five-year period
multiplied by one-third of the price-earnings ratio of our common stock at
the
time of the buyout divided by the greater of the market price of our common
stock or $5.00. If we pay bonuses in the future, it will reduce our profits
and
the amount, if any, that we may otherwise have available to pay dividends to
our
preferred and common stockholders. Additionally, if we pay bonuses in the future
it will take away from the amount of money we have to repay our outstanding
loans and the amount of money we have available for reinvestment in our
operations and as a result, our future results of operations and business plan
could be affected by such bonuses, and we could be forced to curtail or abandon
our current business plan and plans for future expansion.
WE
HAVE EXPERIENCED DELAYS IN OBTAINING SIGNATURES FOR AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS,
WHICH HAVE PREVENTED THEM FROM BEING FINALIZED AND/OR DISCLOSED IN OUR
FILINGS.
We
have
experienced delays in obtaining signatures for various agreements and
transactions in the past. In some cases, we have either disclosed the terms
of
these agreements and transactions in our periodic and other filings with the
SEC
and/or filed such agreements with only the limited signatures which we could
obtain by the required filing dates of such reports, with the intention to
re-file such agreements at a later date once we are able to obtain all of the
required signatures. We believe that these agreements and
transactions are final; however, until they are executed, they are not
finalized, their terms are subject to change although we do not have any present
intention to do so. If the terms of these agreements and transactions were
to
change, we may be required to amend our prior disclosures and any revisions
could be substantial.
WE
RELY ON KEY MANAGEMENT AND IF WE LOSE ANY OF THEM, IT COULD HAVE A MATERIAL
ADVERSE AFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Our
success depends, in part, upon the personal efforts and abilities of Malcolm
J.
Wright. Mr. Wright is the Chairman of the Company and the Company's Chief
Executive Officer. Our ability to operate and implement our business plan is
dependent on the continued service of Mr. Wright. We are in the process of
entering into a written employment agreement with Mr. Wright. If we are unable
to retain and motivate him on economically feasible terms, our business and
results of operations will be materially adversely affected. In addition, the
absence of Mr. Wright may force us to seek a replacement who may have less
experience or who may not understand our business as well.
WE
OWE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY TO MALCOLM J. WRIGHT, OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE
OFFICER AND CHAIRMAN FOR HIS SERVICES AS AN EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND A
DIRECTOR, AND IF WE DO NOT EVENTUALLY PAY HIM THESE ACCRUED AMOUNTS, WE COULD
LOSE HIS SERVICES.
We
currently accrue $800,000 per year which is payable to Malcolm J. Wright for
his
services as an executive officer and an additional $18,000 per year for his
services as a Chairman as of the filing of this report, which accrued
amount bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum until paid, compounded
annually. Although we paid Mr. Wright an aggregate of $1,540,500 in June 2006,
consisting of $1,275,000 of the principal amount he was owed in salary and
$265,500 of interest on such amount, we still owed Mr. Wright approximately
$2,625,000 in salaries, and $596,250 in accrued interest as of June 30, 2007.
Furthermore, we may pay Mr. Wright a bonus of up to 19% of the pre-tax profits,
if any, of various subsidiaries as discussed above. We have made payments to
entities controlled by Mr. Wright in consideration for substantial valuable
services that those entities have provided to us for The Sonesta Orlando Resort
at Tierra Del Sol. If we do not have sufficient cash on hand to pay Mr. Wright
for his salary, Director's compensation and bonus in the future, he may
determine to spend less of his time on our business or to resign his positions
as an officer and a Director.
COMPANIES
AFFILIATED WITH OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, MALCOLM
J. WRIGHT ARE PAID A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF OUR REVENUES IN CONNECTION WITH
SERVICES RENDERED.
Certain
companies controlled by our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Malcolm J.
Wright, including American Leisure Real Estate Group, Inc. ("ALRG"), which
entered into an exclusive Development Agreement with our subsidiary, Tierra
del
Sol Resort, Inc. ("TDSR") and Xpress, Ltd. ("Xpress"), which entered into an
exclusive sales and marketing agreement with TDSR in November 2003, are paid
substantial fees in connection with services rendered to us in connection with
such agreements. In connection with ALRG's Development Agreement with TDSR,
we
are required to pay ALRG a fee in the amount of 4% of the total costs of the
development of the Sonesta Resort paid by ALRG. As of June 30, 2007, the total
costs and fees paid by ALRG amounted to $66,470,796, of which 4% of such amount
is equal to approximately $2,658,831. In connection with Xpress' sales and
marketing agreement, we agreed to pay Xpress a sales fee in the amount of 3%
and
a marketing fee of 1.5% of the total sales prices received by TDSR in connection
with sales of units in the Sonesta Resort, which shares are payable in two
installments, one-half of the sales fee and all of the marketing fee when the
rescission period has elapsed in a
unit
sales agreement and the other half of the sales fee upon the actual conveyance
of the unit. As of June 30, 2007, total sales of units in the Sonesta Resort
were approximately $235,917,443, and as a result, TDSR was obligated to pay
Xpress a fee of $7,077,523 in connection with sales and marketing fees, and
as
of June 30, 2007, $6,765,311 had been paid to Xpress, which number includes
fees
paid on cancelled sales, which fees Xpress is able to keep. Based on the sales
contracts as of June 30, 2007, TDSR is obligated to pay Xpress $3,538,762,
the
other half of the sales fee, upon the conveyance of the units. These
payments represent a significant portion of our non-restricted current cash
and
equivalents and as a result of such payments, we could have less cash on hand
than we will require for our operations and upcoming liabilities. Additionally,
as a result of such payments, we may be forced to curtail or scale back our
business plan, which could have a material adverse effect on the trading value
of our common stock. We believe, however, that the transactions with ALRG and
Xpress are in the best interest of the Company and provide efficiencies and
savings not otherwise available in the open market.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR TRAVEL DIVISION
WE
NEED APPROXIMATELY $2,500,000 OF CAPITAL THROUGH THE END OF THE 2007 FISCAL
YEAR
FOR OUR TRAVEL DIVISION OPERATIONS AND THE OPERATIONS OF HICKORY, WHICH MAY
NOT
BE AVAILABLE TO US ON FAVORABLE TERMS, IF AT ALL.
We
anticipate needing to raise approximately $2,000,000 through the end of the
2007
fiscal year for the working capital needs for the Travel Division, as well
as
approximately $500,000 for the operations of Hickory, which includes Hickory's
requirement to cover its seasonal losses, and TraveLeaders' requirements during
its reorganization to adopt our business models. If we do not receive a
sufficient amount of additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, we
may
be unable to fully implement our business plan. We have identified sources
of
additional working capital, but we do not have any written commitments from
third parties or from our officers, Directors or majority shareholders.
Additional capital may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all.
If
we cannot obtain a sufficient amount of additional capital, we will have to
delay, curtail or scale back some or all of our travel operations, any of which
would materially adversely affect our travel businesses. In addition, we may
be
required to delay the acquisition of additional travel agencies and restructure
or refinance all or a portion of our outstanding debt.
OUR
COMMISSIONS AND FEES ON CONTRACTS WITH SUPPLIERS OF TRAVEL SERVICES FOR OUR
TRAVEL DIVISION MAY BE REDUCED OR THESE CONTRACTS MAY BE CANCELLED AT WILL
BY
THE SUPPLIERS BASED ON OUR VOLUME OF BUSINESS, WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL
ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
Our
suppliers of travel services including airline, hotel, cruise, tour and car
rental suppliers may reduce the commissions and fees that we earn under contract
with them based on the volume of business that we generate for them. These
contracts generally renew annually and in some cases may be cancelled at will
by
the suppliers. If we cannot maintain our volume of business, our suppliers
could
contract with us on terms less favorable than the current terms of our contracts
or the terms of their contracts with our competitors, exclude us from the
products and services that they provide to our competitors, refuse to renew
our
contracts, or, in some cases, cancel their contracts with us at will. In
addition, our suppliers may not continue to sell services and products through
global distribution systems on terms satisfactory to us. If we are unable to
maintain or expand our volume of business, our ability to offer travel service
or lower-priced travel inventory could be significantly reduced. Any
discontinuance or deterioration in the services provided by third parties,
such
as global distribution systems providers, could prevent our customers from
accessing or purchasing particular travel services through us. If these
suppliers were to cancel or refuse to renew our contracts or renew them on
less
favorable terms, it could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition or results of operations.
OUR
SUPPLIERS OF TRAVEL SERVICES TO OUR TRAVEL DIVISION COULD REDUCE OR ELIMINATE
OUR COMMISSION RATES ON BOOKINGS MADE THROUGH US BY PHONE AND OVER THE INTERNET,
WHICH COULD REDUCE OUR REVENUES.
We
receive commissions paid to us by our travel suppliers such as hotel chains
and
cruise companies for bookings that our customers make through us by phone and
over the Internet. Consistent with industry practices, our suppliers are not
obligated by regulation to pay any specified commission rates for bookings
made
through us or to pay commissions at all. Over the last several years, travel
suppliers have substantially reduced commission rates and our travel suppliers
have reduced our commission rates in certain instances. Future reductions,
if
any, in our commission rates that are not offset by lower operating costs or
increased volume could have a material adverse effect on our business and
results of operations.
FAILURE
TO MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH TRADITIONAL TRAVEL AGENTS FOR OUR TRAVEL DIVISION
COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
Hickory
has historically received, and expects to continue to receive, a significant
portion of its revenue through relationships with traditional travel agents.
Maintenance of good relationships with these travel agents depends in large
part
on continued offerings of travel services in demand, and good levels of service
and availability. If Hickory does not maintain good relations with its travel
agents, these agents could terminate their memberships and use of Hickory's
products and services, which would have a material adverse effect on our
business and results of operations.
DECLINES
OR DISRUPTIONS IN THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY COULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE OUR REVENUE
FROM THE TRAVEL DIVISION.
Potential
declines or disruptions in the travel industry may result from any one or more
of the following factors:
|
-
|
price
escalation in the airline industry or other travel related
industries;
|
|
-
|
airline
or other travel related strikes;
|
|
-
|
political
instability, war and hostilities;
|
|
-
|
long
term bad weather;
|
|
-
|
fuel
price escalation;
|
|
-
|
increased
occurrence of travel-related accidents;
and/or
|
|
-
|
economic
downturns and recessions.
|
OUR
TRAVEL REVENUES MAY FLUCTUATE FROM QUARTER TO QUARTER DUE TO SEVERAL FACTORS
INCLUDING FACTORS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL, AND IF BECAUSE OF THESE
FACTORS, OUR REVENUES ARE BELOW OUR EXPECTATIONS IT WOULD LIKELY HAVE A MATERIAL
ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
We
may
experience fluctuating revenues because of a variety of factors, many of which
are outside of our control. These factors may include, but are not limited
to,
the timing of new contracts; reductions or other modifications in our clients'
marketing and sales strategies; the timing of new product or service offerings;
the expiration or termination of existing contracts or the reduction in existing
programs; the timing of increased expenses incurred to obtain and support new
business; changes in the revenue mix among our various service offerings; labor
strikes and slowdowns at airlines or other travel businesses; and the seasonal
pattern of TraveLeaders' business and the travel agency members of Hickory.
In
addition, we make decisions regarding staffing levels, investments and other
operating expenditures based on our revenue forecasts. If our revenues are
below
expectations in any given quarter, our operating results for that quarter would
likely be materially adversely affected.
GLOBAL
TRAVEL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM CONTRACTS THAT WE MAY ENTER INTO GENERALLY PROVIDE
FOR FINANCIAL PENALTIES FOR NOT ACHIEVING PERFORMANCE
OBJECTIVES.
We
are
seeking to enter into multi-year global distribution system contracts. These
contracts typically cover a five-year period and would require us to meet
certain performance objectives. If we do not structure a global distribution
system contract effectively, it may trigger financial penalties if the
performance objectives are not met. In the event that we enter into global
distribution system contracts and are unable to meet the performance objectives,
it would have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity and results
of operations.
OUR
CONTRACTS WITH CLIENTS OF THE TRAVELEADERS BUSINESS DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT WE
WILL RECEIVE A MINIMUM LEVEL OF REVENUE, ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE, AND MAY BE
TERMINATED ON RELATIVELY SHORT NOTICE.
Our
contracts with clients of the TraveLeaders business do not ensure that we will
generate a minimum level of revenue, and the profitability of each client may
fluctuate, sometimes significantly, throughout the various stages of our sales
cycles. Although we will seek to enter into multi-year contracts with our
clients, our contracts generally enable the client to terminate the contract,
or
terminate or reduce customer interaction volumes, on relatively short notice.
Although some contracts require the client to pay a contractually agreed amount
in the event of early termination, there can be no assurance that we will be
able to collect such amount or that such amount, if received, will sufficiently
compensate us for our investment in any canceled sales campaign or for the
revenues we may lose as a result of the early termination. If we do not generate
minimum levels of revenue from our contracts or our clients terminate our
multi-year contracts, it will have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operation and financial condition.
WE
RECEIVE CONTRACTUALLY SET SERVICE FEES AND HAVE LIMITED ABILITY TO INCREASE
OUR
FEES TO MEET INCREASING COSTS.
Most
of
our travel contracts have set service fees that we may not increase if, for
instance, certain costs or price indices increase. For the minority of our
contracts that allow us to increase our service fees based upon increases in
cost or price indices, these increases may not fully compensate us for increases
in labor and other costs incurred in providing the services. If our costs
increase and we cannot, in turn, increase our service fees or we have to
decrease our service fees because we do not achieve defined performance
objectives, it will have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of
operations and financial condition.
THE
TRAVEL INDUSTRY IS LABOR INTENSIVE AND INCREASES IN THE COSTS OF OUR EMPLOYEES
COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, LIQUIDITY OR RESULTS
OF
OPERATIONS.
The
travel industry is labor intensive and has experienced high personnel turnover.
A significant increase in our personnel turnover rate could increase our
recruiting and training costs and decrease operating effectiveness and
productivity. If we obtain a significant number of new clients or implement
a
significant number of new, large-scale campaigns, we may need to recruit, hire
and train qualified personnel at an accelerated rate, but we may be unable
to do
so. Because significant portions of our operating costs relate to labor costs,
an increase in wages, costs of employee benefits, employment taxes or other
costs associated with our employees could have a material adverse effect on
our
business, results of operations or financial condition.
OUR
INDUSTRY IS SUBJECT TO INTENSE COMPETITION AND COMPETITIVE PRESSURES COULD
ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION.
We
believe that the market in which we operate is fragmented and highly competitive
and that competition may intensify in the future. We compete with small firms
offering specific applications, divisions of large entities, large independent
firms and the in-house operations of clients or potential clients. A number
of
competitors have or may develop greater capabilities and resources than us.
Additional competitors with greater resources than us may enter our market.
Competitive pressures from current or future competitors could cause our
services to lose market acceptance or result in significant price erosion,
all
of which could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of
operations or financial condition.
WE
RELY AND PLAN TO RELY ON ONLY A FEW MAJOR CLIENTS FOR OUR
REVENUES.
We
plan
to focus our marketing efforts on developing long-term relationships with
companies in our targeted travel and vacation resort industry. As a result,
we
will derive a substantial portion of our revenues from relatively few clients.
There can be no assurances that we will not continue to be dependent on a few
significant clients, that we will be able to retain those clients, that the
volumes of profit margins will not be reduced or that we would be able to
replace such clients or programs with similar clients or programs that would
generate a comparable profit margin. Consequently, the loss of one or more
of
those clients could have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of
operations or financial condition.
RISKS
RELATING TO OUR STOCK AND
GENERAL
BUSINESS RISKS
RE-PRICING
WARRANTS AND ISSUING ADDITIONAL WARRANTS TO OBTAIN FINANCING HAS CAUSED AND
MAY
CAUSE ADDITIONAL DILUTION TO OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.
In
the
past, to obtain additional financing, we have modified the terms of our warrant
agreements to lower the exercise price per share to $.001 from $5.00 with
respect to warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock and to $.001
from $2.96 with respect to warrants to purchase 1,350,000 shares of our common
stock. Additionally, we have granted an additional 616,000 warrants to SIBL
and
affiliates to purchase shares of our common stock at $5.00 per share, 308,000
warrants to SIBL and affiliates to purchase shares of our common stock at $0.001
per share, 355,000 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at $10 per
share and 235,000 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at $20 per
share. Re-pricing of our warrants and issuing additional warrants has caused
and
may cause substantial additional dilution to our existing shareholders and
shareholders owning shares of our common stock at the time of the exercise
of
such warrants described above, if exercised.
WARRANTS
GRANTED TO STANFORD INTERNATIONAL BANK, LTD., IN CONNECTION WITH THE TIERRA
DEL
SOL LOAN AND LETTERS OF CREDIT CONTAIN ANTI-DILUTION FEATURES, WHICH COULD
EFFECT THE VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
On
December 29, 2005, Stanford International Bank, Ltd. ("SIBL") provided Tierra
Del Sol with financial assistance to facilitate the establishment of the Land
Loan and the Construction Loan. The financial assistance consisted of a loan
to
Tierra Del Sol of $2,100,000 (the "SIBL Tierra Del Sol Loan") however, as
consideration for the purchase of our Antiguan call center and in connection
with our entry into the Stock Purchase Agreement, described above, SIBL
exchanged this note and $191,100 of accrued interest, and the establishment
of
letters of credit in favor of KeyBank in the amount of $4,000,000 and
$2,000,000, respectively (the "Letters of Credit"), the fees for which amounting
to $540,000 were also exchanged as part of the consideration for the purchase
of
the Antiguan call center. As additional consideration for this financial
assistance, we granted SIBL and its affiliates warrants to purchase 308,000
shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share and warrants
to purchase 154,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.001
per share. Additionally, in January 2006, in connection with the SIBL Reedy
Creek Loan, we granted SIBL and its affiliates warrants to purchase 308,000
shares of our common stock at an
exercise price of $5.00 per share and warrants to purchase 154,000 shares of
the
Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. Additionally,
in June 2006, in connection with the sale of our call center operations and
in
August 2006, in connection with the Vici transaction (described herein), we
granted SIBL 355,000 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at $10
per
share and 235,000 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at $20 per
share, respectively. The warrants contain anti-dilution provisions, including
a
provision which requires us to issue additional shares under the warrants if
we
issue or sell any common stock at less than $1.02 per share, or grant, issue
or
sell any options or warrants for shares of the Company's common stock to convert
into shares of our common stock at less than $1.02 per share. If we do issue
or
sell common stock which causes a re-pricing of the warrants issued to SIBL,
it
would likely have an adverse effect on the trading value of our common stock
and
could cause substantial dilution to our then
shareholders.
THERE
MAY NOT BE AN ACTIVE OR LIQUID TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK, WHICH MAY
LIMIT INVESTORS' ABILITY TO RESELL THEIR SHARES.
An
active
and liquid trading market for our common stock may not develop or, if developed,
such a market may not be sustained. In addition, we cannot predict the price
at
which our common stock will trade. If there is not an active or liquid trading
market for our common stock, investors in our common stock may have limited
ability to resell their shares.
WE
HAVE AND MAY CONTINUE TO ISSUE PREFERRED STOCK THAT HAS RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES
OVER OUR COMMON STOCK.
Our
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize our Board of Directors to
issue
preferred stock, the relative rights, powers, preferences, limitations, and
restrictions of which may be fixed or altered from time to time by the Board
of
Directors. Accordingly, the Board of Directors may, without approval from the
shareholders of our common stock, issue preferred stock with dividend,
liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights that could adversely affect
the
voting power and other rights of the holders of our common stock. The preferred
stock can be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging,
delaying, or preventing a change in our ownership and management that
shareholders might not consider to be in their best interests. We have issued
various series of preferred stock, which have rights and preferences over our
common stock including, but not limited to, cumulative dividends and preferences
upon liquidation or dissolution.
WE
DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE NEAR FUTURE, WHICH COULD MAKE AN
INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK LESS ATTRACTIVE FOR CERTAIN INVESTORS THAN OTHER
SIMILAR COMPANIES’ STOCK WHICH PAY DIVIDENDS.
We
have
never declared or paid dividends on our common stock. We do not anticipate
paying dividends on our common stock in the near future. Our ability to pay
dividends is dependent upon, among other things, future earnings as well as
our
operating and financial condition, capital requirements, general business
conditions and other pertinent factors. We intend to reinvest in our business
operations any funds that could be used to pay dividends. Our common stock
is
junior in priority to our preferred stock with respect to dividends. Cumulative
dividends on our issued and outstanding Series A preferred stock, Series B
preferred stock, Series C preferred stock and Series E preferred stock accrue
dividends at a rate of $1.20, $12.00, $4.00, and $4.00, respectively, per share
per annum, payable in preference and priority to any payment of any cash
dividend on our common stock. We have authorized Series F preferred stock with
cumulative dividends that accrue at a rate of $1.00 per share per annum and
are
also payable in preference and priority to any payment of any cash dividend
on
our common stock. Dividends on our preferred stock accrue from the date on
which
we agree to issue such preferred shares and thereafter from day to day whether
or not earned or declared and whether or not there exists profits, surplus
or
other funds legally available for the payment of dividends. We have never paid
any cash dividends on our preferred stock. We will be required to pay accrued
dividends on our preferred stock before we can pay any dividends on our common
stock. Because we do not currently pay dividends on our preferred or common
stock, an investment in our Company may be less attractive to certain investors
who are looking to invest in company’s which pay regular
dividends and as such, the trading value of our common stock may decline in
value and/or be less than similar sized companies which do pay dividends on
their preferred and common stock.
BECAUSE
OF THE SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF SHARES OWNED BY AMERICAN LEISURE GROUP LIMITED,
OTHER SHAREHOLDERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCE OUR
MANAGEMENT.
American
Leisure Group Limited owns approximately an aggregate of approximately 90%
of
the voting power in us. As a result, it will control our affairs and management,
as well as all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election
and removal of members of the Board of Directors, transactions with Directors,
officers or affiliated entities, the sale or merger of the Company or
substantially all of our assets, and changes in dividend policy. This
concentration of ownership and control could have the effect of delaying,
deferring, or preventing a change in our ownership or management, even when
a
change would be in the best interest of other shareholders.
IN
THE FUTURE, WE WILL INCUR SIGNIFICANT INCREASED COSTS AS A RESULT OF OPERATING
AS A FULLY REPORTING COMPANY IN CONNECTION WITH SECTION 404 OF THE SARBANES
OXLEY ACT, AND OUR MANAGEMENT WILL BE REQUIRED TO DEVOTE SUBSTANTIAL TIME TO
NEW
COMPLIANCE INITIATIVES.
Moving
forward, we anticipate incurring significant legal, accounting and other
expenses in connection with our status as a fully reporting public company.
The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act") and new rules subsequently
implemented by the SEC have imposed various new requirements on public
companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. As
such, our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial
amount of time to these new compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and
regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will
make
some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal controls
for financial reporting and disclosure of controls and procedures. In
particular, commencing in fiscal 2008, we must perform system and process
evaluation and testing of our internal controls over financial reporting to
allow management and our independent registered public accounting firm to report
on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, as
required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our testing, or the
subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, may
reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that
are
deemed to be material weaknesses. Our compliance with Section 404 will require
that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management
efforts. We currently do not have an internal audit group, and we will need
to
hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company
experience and technical accounting knowledge. Moreover, if we are not able
to
comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or
our
independent registered public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in our
internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material
weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline, and we could be subject
to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities,
which
would require additional financial and management resources.
IF
WE ARE LATE IN FILING OUR QUARTERLY OR ANNUAL REPORTS WITH THE SEC, WE MAY
BE
DE-LISTED FROM THE OVER-THE-COUNTER BULLETIN BOARD.
Pursuant
to Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") rules relating to the timely filing
of periodic reports with the SEC, any OTCBB issuer which fails to file a
periodic report (Form 10-QSB's or 10-KSB's) by the due date of such report
(not
withstanding any extension granted by the filing of a Form 12b-25), three (3)
times during any twenty-four (24) month period is automatically de-listed from
the OTCBB. Such removed issuer would not be re-eligible to be listed on the
OTCBB for a period of one-year, during which time any subsequent late filing
would reset the one-year period of de-listing. If we are late in our filings
three times in any twenty-four (24) month period and are de-listed from the
OTCBB, our securities may become worthless and we may be forced to curtail
or
abandon our business plan.
THERE
IS CURRENTLY A LIMITED MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND OUR STOCK PRICE IS
VOLATILE.
There
is
currently a limited and volatile market for our common stock. Such market has
been and will continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to several
factors including, but not limited to:
(1)
|
actual
or anticipated variations in our results of operations;
|
(2)
|
our
ability or inability to generate new revenues;
|
(3)
|
the
number of shares in our public float;
|
(4)
|
increased
competition; and
|
(5)
|
conditions
and trends in the travel services, vacation, and/or real estate and
construction markets.
|
Furthermore,
because our common stock is traded on the NASD over the counter bulletin board,
our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or
disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as
well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions,
interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect
the
market price of our common stock. Additionally, at present, we have a limited
number of shares in our public float, and as a result, there could be extreme
fluctuations in the price of our common stock. Further, due to the limited
volume of our shares which trade and our limited public float, we believe that
our stock prices (bid, asked and closing prices) are entirely arbitrary, are
not
related to the actual value of the Company, and do not reflect the actual value
of our common stock (and in fact reflect a value that is much higher than the
actual value of our common stock). Shareholders and potential investors in
our
common stock should exercise caution before making an investment in the Company,
and should not rely on the publicly quoted or traded stock prices in determining
our common stock value, but should instead determine value of our common stock
based on the information contained in the Company's public reports, industry
information, and those business valuation methods commonly used to value private
companies.
INVESTORS
MAY FACE SIGNIFICANT RESTRICTIONS ON THE RESALE OF OUR COMMON STOCK DUE TO
FEDERAL REGULATIONS OF PENNY STOCKS.
Once
our
common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, it is likely that it will
be
subject to the requirements of Rule 15(g)9, promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act as long as the price of our common stock is below $4.00 per share.
Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons
other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special
sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an
individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive
the purchaser's consent prior to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement
Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, also requires additional disclosure
in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock.
Generally, the Commission defines a penny stock as any equity security not
traded on an exchange or quoted on NASDAQ that has a market price of less than
$4.00 per share. The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery,
prior to any transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock
market and the risks associated with it. Such requirements could severely limit
the market liquidity of the securities and the ability of purchasers to sell
their securities in the secondary market.
ITEM
3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's
"disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange
Act
of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered
by
this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"), have concluded that as of the
Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to
provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities
and
Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
(b)
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes
in
the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal
quarter covered by this report that materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
reporting.
PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In
the
ordinary course of its business, the Company may from time to time become
subject to claims or proceedings relating to the purchase, subdivision, sale
and/or financing of its real estate or its operations.
We
are a
party in an action that was filed in Orange County, Florida and styled as Rock
Investment Trust, P.L.C. and RIT, L.L.C. vs. Malcolm J. Wright, American
Vacation Resorts, Inc., American Leisure, Inc., Inversora Tetuan, S.A., Sunstone
Golf Resort, Inc., and Sun Gate Resort Villas, Inc., Case No. CIO-01-4874,
Ninth
Judicial Circuit, Orange County, Florida. In June, 2001, after almost 2 years
from receiving notice from Malcolm Wright that one Mr. Roger Smee, doing
business under the names Rock Investment Trust, PLC (a British limited company)
and RIT, LLC (a Florida limited liability company) (collectively, the Smee
Entities) had defaulted under various agreements to loan or to joint venture
or
to fund investment into various real estate enterprises founded by Mr. Wright,
the Smee Entities brought the Lawsuit against Mr. Wright, American Leisure,
Inc.
(ALI) and several other entities. The gravamen of the initial complaint is
that
the Smee Entities made financial advances to Wright with some expectation of
participation in a Wright real estate enterprise. In general, the suit requests
either a return of the Smee Entities alleged advances of $500,000 or an
undefined ownership interest in one or more of the defendant entities. Mr.
Wright, American Leisure, Inc., and Inversora Tetuan, S.A., have filed a
counterclaim and cross complaint against the Smee Entities and Mr. Smee denying
the claims and such damages in the amount of $10 million for the tortuous acts
of the Smee entities. In the unlikely event the matter ever proceeds to trial
and the court rules that Mr. Wright is liable under his guarantee of the
American Leisure, Inc. obligation to Smee, it is believed that such a ruling
would not directly affect American Leisure Holdings, Inc. The litigation has
been in abeyance, with no activity by the Smee entities for one year, and is
not
currently set for trial. We expect that this case will either be dismissed
for
lack of activity or will result in a judgment in favor of Malcolm
Wright.
In
March
2004, Manuel Sanchez and Luis Vanegas as plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against
American Leisure Holdings, Inc. American Access Corporation, Hickory Travel
Systems, Inc., Malcolm J. Wright and L. William Chiles, et al., seeking a claim
for securities fraud, violation of Florida Securities and Investor Protection
Act, breach of their employment contracts, and claims for fraudulent inducement.
All defendants have denied all claims and have a counterclaim against Manuel
Sanchez and Luis Vanegas for damages. The litigation commenced in March 2004.
No
material activity has occurred in this case, and we do not expect any activity
in the near future. The claims are without merit and the claims are not material
to us. We intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
In
early
May 2004, Around The World Travel, Inc., substantially all of the assets of
which we purchased, filed a lawsuit in the Miami-Dade Florida Circuit Court
against Seamless Technologies, Inc. and e-TraveLeaders, Inc. alleging breach
of
contract and seeking relief that includes monetary damages and termination
of
the contracts. They were granted leave to intervene as plaintiffs in the
original lawsuits against Seamless and e-TraveLeaders. On June 28, 2004, the
above named defendants brought suit against Around The World Travel and American
Leisure Holdings, Inc. in an action styled Seamless Technologies, Inc. et al.
v.
Keith St. Clair et al. This suit alleges that Around The World Travel has
breached the contracts and also that American Leisure Holdings, Inc.'s and
Around The World Travel’s Chief Executive Officers were complicit with certain
officers and directors of Around The World Travel in securing ownership of
certain assets for American Leisure Holdings, Inc. that were alleged to have
been a business opportunity for Around The World Travel. This lawsuit involves
allegations of fraud against Malcolm J. Wright. The lawsuit filed by Seamless
has been abated and consolidated with the original lawsuit filed by Around
The
World Travel. In a related matter, Seamlesss attorneys brought another action
entitled Peter Hairston v. Keith St. Clair et al. This suit mimics the
misappropriation of business opportunity claim, but it is framed within a
shareholder derivative action. The relief sought against American Leisure
Holdings, Inc. includes monetary damages and litigation costs. We intend to
vigorously support the original litigation filed against Seamless and defend
the
counterclaim and allegations against us. On February 9, 2007, the court heard
AMLH, ALEC, and Mr. Wright’s motion to dismiss the various counts of the
complaint. The court dismissed
with prejudice the E-Traveleaders / Seamless claims for rescission, constructive
trust, and civil conspiracy. It dismissed without prejudice the claims for
tortuous interference and priority as against TraveLeaders, and allowed the
breach of contract claims to continue. We believe that with further
discovery, the court will dismiss or grant to AMLH, ALEC, and Mr. Wright summary
judgment on all remaining or repleaded counts.
On
May 4,
2005, Simon Hassine, along with members of his family, filed a lawsuit against
us and Around The World Travel in the Circuit Court of Dade County, Florida,
Civil Division, Case Number 05-09137CA. The plaintiffs are the former majority
shareholders of Around The World Travel and former owners of the assets of
TraveLeaders. The plaintiffs allege that that they have not been paid for i)
a
subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $3,550,000 plus interest
on such note which they allege was issued to them by Around The World Travel
in
connection with their sale of 88% of the common stock of Around The World
Travel; and ii) subordinated undistributed retained earnings and accrued bonuses
in an aggregate amount of $1,108,806 which they allege were due to them as
part
of the sale. The plaintiffs allege that the note was issued to them net of
$450,000 of preferred stock of Around The World Travel that they further allege
they never received. The plaintiffs also allege that in December 2004 they
entered into a settlement agreement with the Company regarding these matters.
The plaintiffs are pursuing a claim of breach of the alleged settlement
agreement with damages in excess of $1,000,000, interest and costs as well
as
performance under the alleged settlement agreement or, in the alternative,
a
declaratory judgment that the promissory note, undistributed retained earnings
and accrued bonuses are not subordinated to the Galileo Debt and full payment
of
the promissory note, undistributed retained earnings and accrued bonuses plus
prejudgment interest, stated interest on the note, costs and reasonable
attorneys fees. The plaintiffs are also pursuing a claim for breach of contract
regarding the preferred stock of Around The World Travel and seeking $450,000
plus interest, costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. The plaintiffs are also
pursuing claims of fraudulent transfer regarding our acquisition of interests
in
the debt and equity of Around The World Travel and seeking unspecified amounts.
Our counsel filed various motions including a motion to dismiss the complaint
in
its entirety as against us and Malcolm J. Wright due to the failure by the
plaintiffs to comply with a provision in the underlying document that grants
exclusive jurisdiction to the courts located in Cook County, Illinois. In July
2007, the plaintiffs filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal against the American
Leisure Holdings, Inc. and American Leisure Travel Group, Inc. without
prejudice. The plaintiff did not however dismiss its claims against
Around the World Travel, Inc. or Around the World Holdings, LLC.
On
August
10, 2006, Patsy Berman and Berman Mortgage Corporation served a complaint
against Tierra del Sol Resort, Inc., Malcolm Wright, our Chief Executive Officer
and Chairman, and a non-existent entity, Vantage Circa 39 Condotel Limited
Partnership ("Vantage"), in the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade
County, Florida. The complaint alleges that Tierra del Sol and Vantage sought
loans, that the plaintiffs offered to make loans, that Mr. Wright guaranteed
the
loans, that valid contracts were formed, and that because such loans did not
close, the plaintiffs claim $3,550,000 in damages, representing funding fees,
brokerage fees, and interest. We have concluded that the plaintiffs' complaint
is wholly frivolous. We filed a Motion to Dismiss and a Motion for sanctions
against the plaintiffs of the lawsuit, for failure to state a good faith claim
in law or fact and the court granted the motion to dismiss without prejudice.
Berman filed an amended complaint, and we responded with another motion to
dismiss and motion to strike the request for a jury trial. The motions were
heard by the Court. We intend to conduct discovery and seek sanctions
against the plaintiffs and their attorneys pursuant to section 57.105, Florida
Statutes, which protects parties from frivolous lawsuits.
Lufthansa
City Center, et al (“LCC”) v. Hickory Travel Systems, Inc. LCC has sued
for Breach of Contract or, alternatively, Breach of a Settlement
Agreement. Hickory and LCC entered an agreement whereby LCC would
exclusively use Hickory’s hotel program and Hickory would pay $110,000 per year
to LCC. LCC did not bring the promised value to the deal.
Additionally, LCC entered an agreement with a competitor for hotel services
prior to termination of the agreement. Hickory vigorously disputes the
allegations in the complaint and intends to counterclaim to recoup the damages
from LCC’s breach of the agreement. LCC has not served the complaint
on Hickory.
On
or
about July 11, 2007, Costa Blanca Real Estate, Inc., Tierra Del Sol Resort,
Inc., our wholly owned subsidiaries and one of our former employees, were served
with a complaint filed in the Circuit Court of the Tenth Judicial Circuit in
and
for Polk County, Florida (the “Complaint”). The Complaint filed by
David A. and Sandra P. Clayton (the “Claytons”), relates to a townhome and a
condominium sold by us to the Claytons in August 2004. The Complaint
alleges, among other things, causes for breach of contract, fraud in the
inducement of the contract, violations of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair
Trade
Practices Act, and civil conspiracy. We intend to vigorously defend
the lawsuit.
On
or
about August 3, 2007, Brian Hannon sued Tierra del Sol Resort, Inc., in the
United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The
suit alleges breach of contract and violation of regulations regarding the
sale
of real estate. We deny the allegations and intend to vigorously
defend the lawsuit.
On
or
about August 9, 2007, American Leisure Holdings, Inc., American Leisure Equities
Corporation, and Around the World Travel, Inc. were sued in the Northern
District of Illinois by Apollo Galileo USA Partnership. The complaint
mistakenly asserts that we assumed the liabilities from Around the World Travel
as part of our acquisition of substantially all of the assets, and seeks to
recover on a 2003 contract between Apollo Galileo and Around the World
Travel. The plaintiffs are seeking approximately $605,685 plus
interest in relief. We intend to seek dismissal of the complaint and sanctions
pursuant to Rule 11, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
In
the
ordinary course of our business, we may from time to time become subject to
routine litigation or administrative proceedings, which are incidental to our
business.
We
are
not aware of any proceeding to which any of our directors, officers, affiliates
or security holders are a party adverse to us or the outcome of which will
have
a material interest adverse to us.

2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES
In
April
2007, we granted Malcolm J. Wright, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman
an
aggregate of 747,000 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at an
exercise price of $1.02 per share, in connection with Mr. Wright’s guaranty of
the Kennedy Note (defined above), pursuant to a Debt Guaranty Agreement
previously entered into with Mr. Wright. We relied on an exemption from
registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, in issuing the securities as the issuance of the securities did not
involve a public offering, the recipient acquired the securities for investment
purposes and we took appropriate measures to restrict transfer. No underwriters
or agents were involved in the foregoing issuance and no underwriting discounts
were paid by us.
In
June
2007, we granted Malcolm J. Wright, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman
an
aggregate of 133,500 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at an
exercise price of $1.02 per share, in connection with Mr. Wright’s guaranty of
the Second Kennedy Note (defined above), pursuant to a Debt Guaranty Agreement
previously entered into with Mr. Wright. We relied on an exemption from
registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, in issuing the securities as the issuance of the securities did not
involve a public offering, the recipient acquired the securities for investment
purposes and we took appropriate measures to restrict transfer. No underwriters
or agents were involved in the foregoing issuance and no underwriting discounts
were paid by us.
In
August
2007, in connection with the Admission, certain of our shareholders, including
our Chief Executive Officer, Malcolm J. Wright, certain entities which he
controls and several of his family members, Roger Maddock, a significant
shareholder of us and several entities which he controls (collectively the
“Interested Parties”), entered into Preferred Share Purchase Agreements with
American Leisure Group Limited (“ALG,” currently our majority shareholder as a
result of Share Exchange Agreements entered into with various parties, including
the Interested Parties on or around the date of the Preferred Share Purchase
Agreements) , pursuant to which ALG purchased 525,000 shares of our Series
A
Preferred Stock (representing 52.5% of our outstanding Series A Preferred
Stock), 27,191 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock (representing 100% of
our

5. OTHER INFORMATION
On
August
13, 2007, American Leisure Group, Ltd., a company incorporated in the British
Virgin Islands (“ALG”) began trading on the AIM market operated by the London
Stock Exchange in London, England (the “Admission”).
The
Admission triggered the effectiveness of certain Share Exchange and Share
Purchase Agreements and certain Preferred Share Purchase Agreements relating
to
shares of common and preferred stock of the Company, including agreements to
sell shares of entities (held by trusts for the families of Roger Maddock and
Malcolm Wright (an executive director of the Company)) which directly or
indirectly hold a significant portion of the outstanding shares of stock in
the
Company, in consideration for, among other things, certain cash amounts and
the
repayment of certain debt obligations (the “Share Purchase
Agreement”).
Additionally,
two groups of our significant shareholders, including several of our officers
and Directors, and certain of our other preferred shareholders closed Share
Exchange Agreements and Preferred Share Purchase Agreements with ALG, whereby
such shareholders exchanged shares of our issued common stock for shares of
ALG and sold shares of our issued preferred stock for cash, the result of which
transactions was that ALG will hold, directly or indirectly, more than 90%
of
our common and preferred stock (the “Share Exchange Agreements”).
The
officers and Directors of ALG include our Chief Executive Officer, Malcolm
J.
Wright, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of ALG, our President, Fredrick
Pauzar, who is the Director of Corporate Development of ALG, our Chief Financial
Officer, Omar Jimenez, who is also employed by ALG, Jeffrey Scott, the President
of Hickory Travel Services, a subsidiary of the Company, and an employee of
ALG, and Roger Maddock, a former significant shareholder of the
Company (prior to Admission and the effective date of the Share Exchange
Agreements) who is a non-executive Director of ALG.
In
connection with the Admission of ALG, ALG raised $75 million GBP (Approximately
$150,000,000 US dollars) before expenses, of which it is currently anticipated
that US $44 million will be used for the development of amenities at our Sonesta
Resort (the “Funding”).
