PART I

STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

The following information contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements generally are characterized by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” “believe” and “expect” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that might cause such a difference include the following: the current global economic downturn, conditions affecting the CNL brand name, increased direct competition, changes in government regulations or accounting rules, changes in local and national real estate conditions, our ability to obtain additional lines of credit or permanent financing on satisfactory terms, changes in interest rates, availability of proceeds from our offering of shares, our tenants’ inability to manage rising costs, our ability to identify suitable investments, our ability to close on identified investments, tenant defaults and bankruptcies, inaccuracies of our accounting estimates, our ability to locate suitable tenants and operators for our properties and borrowers for our loans and the ability of such tenants and borrowers to make payments under their respective leases or loans. Given these uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on such statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

Item 1. Business

GENERAL

CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc., formerly known as CNL Income Properties, Inc., is a Maryland corporation organized on August 11, 2003. We operate as a real estate investment trust, or REIT. The terms “us,” “we,” “our,” “our company” and “CNL Lifestyle Properties” include CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. and each of our subsidiaries. We have retained CNL Lifestyle Company, LLC, formerly known as CNL Income Company, LLC, (our “Advisor”) to provide management, acquisition, disposition, advisory and administrative services. Our offices are located at 450 South Orange Avenue within the CNL Center at City Commons in Orlando, Florida 32801.

Our principal business objectives include building and owning a diversified portfolio of real estate investments. We primarily invest in lifestyle properties in the United States that we generally lease on a long-term, triple-net or gross basis (generally five to 20 years, plus multiple renewal options) to either tenants or operators that we consider to be significant industry leaders. We define lifestyle properties as those properties that reflect or are impacted by the social, consumption and entertainment values and choices of our society. Our conservative lease structures generally require security deposits and include cross-default provisions when multiple properties are leased to a single tenant. We will continue to focus on property acquisitions and the management and oversight of our existing assets. To a lesser extent, we also make and acquire loans (including mortgage, mezzanine and other loans) related to interests in real estate. We have, and intend to maintain, low leverage and a conservative Funds From Operation (FFO) payout ratio in comparison to our competitors.

At March 1, 2009, we had a portfolio of 115 lifestyle properties which aggregated by purchase price was diversified as follows: approximately 32% in ski and mountain lifestyle, 26% in golf, 21% in attractions and 21% in additional lifestyle properties. These assets specifically consist of 53 golf courses, one dealership, one merchandise mart, 23 ski and mountain lifestyle properties, 11 marinas, 24 attractions, one multi-family residential property and one property held for redevelopment. Ten of these 115 properties are owned through unconsolidated ventures and three are located in Canada. We have also made loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of approximately $166.8 million at March 1, 2009.

Our real estate investment portfolio is geographically diversified with properties in 29 states and Canada. We own ski and mountain lifestyle properties in eight states and Canada with a majority of those properties located in the northeast, California and Canada. Our golf properties are located in 15 states with a majority of

those courses located in “Sun Belt” states. Our attractions properties are located in 12 states with a majority located in the southwest.

Asset classes. We have invested primarily in the ski and mountain lifestyle, golf and attractions asset classes and intend to target these asset classes in the future. However, we have invested or may invest in additional lifestyle properties including, but not limited to, hotels, multi-family residential housing, medical facilities, or any type of property that we believe has the potential to generate long-term revenue. Certain of our properties may feature characteristics that are common to more than one of the target asset classes that we have. For example, real estate in and around ski resorts may also feature golf courses.

Our tenants and operators. We generally attempt to lease our properties to tenants and operators that we consider to be significant industry leaders. We consider a tenant or an operator to be a “significant industry leader” if it has one or more of the following traits:

 

   

many years of experience operating in a particular industry as compared with other operators in that industry, as a company or through the experience of its senior management;

 

   

many assets managed in a particular industry as compared with other operators in that industry; and/or

 

   

is deemed by us to be a dominant operator in a particular industry for reasons other than those listed above.

FOOTNOTE:

 

(1) We expect to amend our leases with EAGLE Golf, which will reduce the annualized base rent for 2009 (of which the first six months of 2009 are being deferred) to approximately $28.1 million and average annual (straight-lined) base rent over the lease term to approximately $31.5 million. The lease amendments are pending lender approval and there can be no assurances that the amendments will be approved. See additional information regarding the EAGLE Golf tenant in “Item 7. – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources, Recent Market Conditions.”

Table of Contents

The table above excludes our equity investments in ten assets owned in joint ventures, our multi-family residential property, two golf courses subject to management contracts and one hotel property closed for redevelopment, all of which are not subject to long-term leases.

Our leases and ventures. As part of our net lease investment strategy, we either acquire properties directly or purchase interests in entities that own the properties we acquire. Once we acquire properties, we either lease them back to the original seller or to a third-party operator. These leases are usually triple-net leases which means our tenants are generally responsible for repairs, maintenance, property taxes, ground lease or permit expenses (where applicable), utilities and insurance for the properties that they lease. Our joint ventures lease properties either to our venture partner or to third-party operators generally on a triple-net basis. We typically structure our leases to provide for the payment of a minimum annual base rent with periodic increases in base rent over the lease term. In addition, our leases provide for the payment of percentage rent normally based on a percentage of gross revenues generated at the property over certain thresholds.

To a lesser extent, when beneficial to our investment structure, certain properties may be leased to wholly-owned tenants that are taxable REIT subsidiaries or that are owned through taxable REIT subsidiaries (referred to as “TRS” entities). Under this structure, we engage third-party managers to conduct day-to-day operations. Under the TRS leasing structure, our results of operations will include the operating results of the underlying properties as opposed to rental income from operating leases that is recorded for properties leased to third-party tenants. Our multi-family residential property is typically leased under short-term leases (typically one year) to multiple tenants and requires the payment of base rent only. Our hotel property is currently closed while redevelopment plans are being finalized.

We have entered into joint ventures where our partners may subordinate their returns to our minimum return. This structure provides us with some protection against the risk of downturns in performance but may allow our partners to obtain a higher rate of return on their investment than we receive if the underlying performance of the properties exceeds certain thresholds.

Our loans. As part of our lending strategy, we have made and may continue to make or to acquire loans (including mortgage, mezzanine or other loans) with respect to any of the asset classes in which we are permitted to invest. We generally make loans to the owners of properties, to enable them to acquire land, buildings or both, or to develop property or as part of a larger acquisition. In exchange, the owner generally grants us a first lien or collateralized interest in a participating mortgage collateralized by the property or by interests in the entity that owns the property. Our loans generally require fixed interest payments. We expect that the interest rate and terms for long-term mortgage loans (generally, 10 to 20 years) will be similar to the rate of return on our long-term net leases. Mezzanine loans and other financings for which we have a secondary-lien or collateralized interest will generally have shorter terms (one to two years) and higher interest rates than our net leases and long-term mortgage loans. With respect to the loans that we make, we generally seek loans with collateral values resulting in a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 85%.

Our common stock offerings. As of December 31, 2008, we raised approximately $2.3 billion (230.4 million shares) through our public offerings. During the period January 1, 2009 through March 1, 2009, we raised an additional $24.6 million (2.5 million shares). We have and will continue to use the net proceeds from our offerings to acquire properties, make loans and other investments that we may acquire pursuant to our articles of incorporation and bylaws (“Permitted Investments”).

Tax status. We currently operate and have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2004. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax at the corporate level to the extent we distribute annually at least 90% of our taxable income to our stockholders and meet other compliance requirements. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which our qualification is lost.

Seasonality. Many of the asset classes in which we invest are seasonal in nature and experience seasonal fluctuations in their business due to geographic location, climate and weather patterns. As a result, the businesses experience seasonal variations in revenues that may require our operators to supplement operating cash from their properties in order to be able to make scheduled rent payments to us. In some situations, we have modified the leases for certain tenants such that rents are paid on a seasonal schedule with most, if not all, of the rent being paid during the tenant’s seasonally busy operating period.

Competition. Historically, we have experienced competition from other REITs, real estate partnerships, mutual funds, institutional investors, specialty finance companies, opportunity funds and other investors, including, but not limited to, banks and insurance companies, many of which generally have had greater financial resources than we do for the purposes of leasing and financing properties within our targeted asset classes. These competitors often also have a lower cost of capital and are subject to less regulation. However, due to the current conditions in the U.S. financial markets, the availability of capital resources from these competitor sources has dramatically decreased. When capital markets begin to normalize, and if U.S. government funds become more readily available through economic stimulus packages, our competition for investments will likely increase or resume to historical levels. The level of competition impacts both our ability to find real estate investments and tenants. We may also face competition from other funds in which affiliates of our Advisor participate or advise.

Significant tenants and borrowers. As and for the year ended December 31, 2008, we had the following tenants that individually accounted for 10% or more of our aggregate total revenues or assets.

      73.2 %   49.6 %
               

Additionally, we have made loans to Booth and Boyne that together generated interest income totaling $3.6 million or 1.7% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008. In 2008, PARC took over leases for 11 of our family entertainment centers from a former tenant.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

Our current business consists of acquiring, owning, leasing, developing and investing in lifestyle properties in the United States and Canada. We evaluate all of our lifestyle properties as a single industry segment and review performance on a property-by-property basis. Accordingly, we do not report segment information.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT GEOGRAPHIC AREAS

We have one consolidated property located in Canada, Cypress Mountain, that generated total rental income of approximately $6.7 million, $5.5 million and $2.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Prior to 2006, we did not have any consolidated properties located outside the United States. We also own two properties located in Canada through unconsolidated entities that generated a combined equity in losses of approximately $0.2 million during both years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and equity in earnings of approximately $0.9 million, for the year ended December 31, 2006. All of our other rental income was generated from properties or investments domiciled in the United States.

ADVISORY SERVICES

We have engaged CNL Lifestyle Company, LLC as our Advisor. Under the terms of the advisory agreement, our Advisor has responsibility for our day-to-day operations, administers our bookkeeping and accounting functions, serves as our consultant in connection with policy decisions to be made by our board of directors, manages our properties, loans, and other Permitted Investments and renders other services as the board of directors deems appropriate. In exchange for these services, our Advisor is entitled to receive certain fees from us. First, for supervision and day-to-day management of the properties and the mortgage loans, our Advisor receives an asset management fee, which is payable monthly, in an amount equal to 0.08334% per month based on the total real estate asset value of a property (exclusive of acquisition fees and acquisition expenses), the outstanding principal amounts of any loans made by us and the amount invested in any other Permitted Investments as of the end of the preceding month. Second, for the selection, purchase, financing, development, construction or renovation of real properties and services related to the incurrence of debt, our Advisor receives an acquisition fee equal to 3% of the gross proceeds from our common stock offerings and loan proceeds from debt, lines of credit and other permanent financing that we use to acquire properties or to make or acquire loans and other Permitted Investments.

In addition, we reimburse our Advisor for all of the costs it incurs in connection with the services it provides to us. However, in accordance with the advisory agreement, our Advisor is required to reimburse us for the amount by which the total operating expenses (as described in the advisory agreement) incurred by us in any four consecutive fiscal quarters (the “Expense Year”) exceed the greater of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income (the “Expense Cap”). For the expense years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, operating expenses did not exceed the Expense Cap.

The current advisory agreement continues until April 2009, and thereafter may be extended annually upon mutual consent of our Advisor and our entire board of directors, including directors, who are not directly or indirectly associated with our Advisor (“Independent Directors”), unless terminated at an earlier date upon 60 days prior written notice by either party. As of the date of this filing, the board of directors approved the extension of the advisory agreement for an additional year through April 2010.

EMPLOYEES

Reference is made to Item 10. “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance” in our Definitive Proxy Statement for a listing of our executive officers. We have no employees. Our executive officers are compensated by our Advisor.

RECENT LEGISLATION AND OTHER GUIDANCE AFFECTING REITS

The recently enacted Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (the “Act”) made changes to the REIT tax rules, which include: (1) the exclusion of certain foreign currency exchange gains from the 75% and 95% gross income tests; (2) the exclusion from the 75% gross income test of certain hedging income provided certain requirements are met; (3) the exclusion from the 75% and 95% gross income tests of income from transactions entered into primarily to manage the risk of currency fluctuations with respect to any qualifying item under the 75% or the 95% gross income test; (4) the increase of the limit on a REIT’s ownership of taxable REIT subsidiaries from 20% to 25% of the value of the REIT’s total assets; and (5) the preservation of REIT status if a failure to meet the asset test results from discrepancies caused solely by the change in the foreign currency exchange rate used to value a foreign asset. In addition, the Act revised the safe harbor provision with respect to prohibited transactions by reducing the minimum holding period requirement from four years to two years. Generally, these changes to the REIT rules are effective for taxable years beginning after July 30, 2008. However, certain of the changes apply to income items recognized, or transactions entered into, after July 30, 2008.

We do not qualify for the relief provided in Revenue Procedure 2008-68 which was recently issued by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). Revenue Procedure 2008-68 provides temporary relief only to publicly traded REITs that seek to preserve liquidity by electing to provide a portion of their dividends in stock. The relief allows combined cash and stock dividends to qualify for the dividends-paid deduction, provided that certain requirements are satisfied. Under the Revenue Procedure, the cash portion of the dividend may be as low as 10%. The relief applies to dividends declared on or after January 1, 2008, and with respect to a taxable year ending on or before December 31, 2009. Because we are not a publicly traded REIT, we do not qualify for the relief provided by Revenue Procedure 2008-68.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Company Related Risks

We may have difficulty funding distributions solely from cash flow from operations, which could reduce the funds we have available for investments and your overall return. There are many factors that can affect the availability and timing of distributions to stockholders. We expect to fund distributions principally from cash flows from operations; however, if our properties are not generating sufficient cash flow or our other operating expenses require it, we may fund our distributions from borrowings. If we fund distributions from financings, then we will have fewer funds available for the acquisition of properties and your overall return may be reduced. Further, to the extent distributions exceed earnings and profits calculation on a tax basis, a stockholder’s basis in our stock will be reduced and, to the extent distributions exceed a stockholder’s basis, the stockholder may recognize a capital gain.

We may not be able to pay distributions at an increasing rate. In the future, our ability to declare and pay distributions at an increasing rate will be subject to evaluation by our board of directors of our operating results, capital levels, financial condition, future growth plans, general business and economic conditions and other relevant considerations, and we cannot assure you that we will continue to pay distributions on any schedule or that we will not reduce the amount of or cease paying distributions in the future.

We may be unable to invest the proceeds we receive from our common stock offerings in a timely manner. We have and expect to continue to raise capital through our current and future common stock offerings. If we experience delays in using this capital to acquire properties or make loans, it may reduce the rate of distributions that we pay to our stockholders as a result of the dilution that occurs from uninvested offering proceeds. Additionally, if we are unable to locate suitable third-party tenants for our properties, it may further delay our ability to acquire properties.

Yields on and safety of deposits may be lower due to the extensive decline in the financial markets. Until we invest the proceeds of the offering in properties, we generally hold those funds in permitted investments that are consistent with preservation of liquidity and safety. The investments include money market funds, bank money market accounts and CDs or other accounts at third-party depository institutions. While we believe the funds are protected based on the quality of the investments and the quality of the institutions that hold our funds, there can be no assurance that continued or unusual declines in the financial markets will not result in a loss of some or all of these funds or reductions in cash flows from these investments.

The timing of sales and acquisitions may favor our Advisor and not us. Our Advisor may immediately realize substantial commissions, fees and other compensation as a result of any investment in or sale of an asset by us. Our board of directors must approve each investment and sale, but our Advisor’s recommendation to our board of directors may be influenced by the impact of the transaction on our Advisor’s compensation.

There will be competing demands on our officers and directors. James M. Seneff, Jr. and Robert A. Bourne are also officers and directors of our Advisor and other affiliated entities and may experience conflicts of interest in managing us because they also have management responsibilities for other companies, including companies that may invest in some of the same types of assets in which we may invest. In addition, substantially all of the other companies that these officers and directors work for are affiliates of us and/or our Advisor. For these reasons, these officers and directors will share their management time and services among those companies and us, and will not be able to devote all of their attention to us and could take actions that are more favorable to the other companies than to us.

Real Estate and Other Investment Risks

Economic slowdowns could disproportionately affect the lifestyle properties in which we invest, and the financial difficulties of our tenants and operators could adversely affect us. Economic slowdowns could

Table of Contents

disproportionately affect the lifestyle properties in which we invest. Although a downturn in the real estate industry could significantly adversely affect the value of our properties, a downturn in the ski, golf, attractions and other lifestyle industries in which we invest could compound the adverse affect. Economic weakness combined with higher costs, especially for energy, food and commodities, is putting considerable pressure on consumer spending. Continued reductions in consumer spending due to weakness in the economy and uncertainties regarding future economic prospects could adversely affect our tenants’ abilities to pay rent to us and thereby have a negative impact on our results of operations. In addition, negative events impacting the capital markets may reduce the amount of working capital available to our tenants which may affect their ability to pay rent.

We do not have control over market and business conditions that may affect our success. The following external factors, as well as other factors beyond our control, may reduce the value of properties that we acquire, the ability of tenants to pay rent on a timely basis, or at all, the amount of the rent to be paid and the ability of borrowers to make loan payments on time, or at all:

 

   

changes in general or local economic or market conditions;

 

   

the pricing and availability of debt or working capital;

 

   

increased costs of energy, insurance or products;

 

   

increased costs and shortages of labor;

 

   

increased competition;

 

   

fuel shortages;

 

   

quality of management;

 

   

the ability of an operator or tenant to fulfill its obligations;

 

   

limited alternative uses for properties;

 

   

changing consumer habits;

 

   

condemnation or uninsured losses;

 

   

changing demographics;

 

   

changing government regulations;

 

   

inability to remodel outmoded buildings or structures as required by the lease agreement;

 

   

failure by a tenant to meet its obligations under a lease; and

 

   

bankruptcy of a tenant or borrower.

Further, our results of operations for a property in any one period may not be indicative of results in future periods, and the long-term performance of such property generally may not be comparable to, and cash flows may not be as predictable as, other properties owned by third parties in the same or similar industry. If tenants are unable to make lease payments or borrowers are unable to make loan payments as a result of any of these factors, cash available for distributions to our stockholders may be reduced.

Our exposure to typical real estate investment risks could reduce our income. Our properties, loans and other Permitted Investments will be subject to the risks typically associated with investments in real estate. Such risks include the possibility that our properties will generate rent and capital appreciation, if any, at rates lower than we anticipated or will yield returns lower than those available through other investments. Further, there are other risks by virtue of the fact that our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions will be limited because of the general illiquidity of real estate investments. Income from our properties may be adversely affected by many factors including, but not limited to, an increase in the local supply

Table of Contents

of properties similar to our properties, a decrease in the number of people interested in participating in activities related to the businesses conducted on the properties that we acquire, adverse weather conditions, changes in government regulation, international, national or local economic deterioration, increases in energy costs and other expenses affecting travel, which factors may affect travel patterns and reduce the number of travelers and tourists, increases in operating costs due to inflation and other factors that may not be offset by increased room rates, and changes in consumer tastes.

If one or more of our tenants file for bankruptcy protection, we may be precluded from collecting all sums due. If one or more of our tenants, or the guarantor of a tenant’s lease, commences, or has commenced against it, any proceeding under any provision of the U.S. federal bankruptcy code, as amended, or any other legal or equitable proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation, receivership or debtor’s relief statute or law (bankruptcy proceeding), we may be unable to collect sums due under our lease(s) with that tenant. Any or all of the tenants, or a guarantor of a tenant’s lease obligations, could be subject to a bankruptcy proceeding. A bankruptcy proceeding of this kind may bar our efforts to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from these entities or their properties, unless we are able to obtain an enabling order from the bankruptcy court. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would only have a general unsecured claim against the tenant, and may not be entitled to any further payments under the lease. We believe that our security deposits in the form of letters of credit would be protected from bankruptcy in most jurisdictions. However, a tenant’s or lease guarantor’s bankruptcy proceeding could hinder or delay efforts to collect past due balances under relevant leases or guarantees and could ultimately preclude collection of these sums. Such an event could cause a decrease or cessation of rental payments which would mean a reduction in our cash flow and the amount available for distribution to our stockholders. In the event of a bankruptcy proceeding, we cannot assure you that the tenant or its trustee will assume our lease. If a given lease, or guaranty of a lease, is not assumed, our cash flow and the amounts available for distribution to our stockholders may be adversely affected.

Multiple property leases or loans with individual tenants or borrowers increase our risks in the event that such tenants or borrowers become financially impaired. The value of our properties will depend principally upon the value of the leases entered into for properties that we acquire. Defaults by a tenant or borrower may continue for some time before we determine that it is in our best interest to evict the tenant or foreclose on the property of the borrower. Tenants may lease more than one property, and borrowers may enter into more than one loan. As a result, a default by, or the financial failure of, a tenant or borrower could cause more than one property to become vacant or be in default or more than one lease or loan to become non-performing. Defaults or vacancies would reduce our cash receipts and funds available for distribution and could decrease the resale value of affected properties until they can be re-leased.

We may rely on various cash flow or income security provisions in our leases for minimum rent payments. Our leases may, but are not required to, have security provisions such as deposits, guarantees or shortfall reserves provided by a third-party tenant or operator. These security provisions may terminate at either a specific time during the lease term or once net operating income of the property exceeds a specified amount. Certain security provisions may also have limits on the overall amount of the security under the lease. After the termination of a security feature, or in the event that the maximum limit of a security provision is reached, we may only look to the tenant to make lease payments. In the event that a security provision has expired or the maximum limit has been reached, or a provider of a security provision is unable to meet its obligations, our results of operations could be adversely affected if our tenants are unable to generate sufficient funds from operations to meet minimum rent payments and the tenants do not otherwise have the resources to make rent payments.

It may be difficult to re-lease our vacant properties. If a tenant vacates a property, we may be unable to re-lease the property and if we are able to re-lease the property, we may not receive as much rent as we had under the prior lease and may need to incur additional expenditures relating to the property. In addition, we could experience delays in enforcing our rights and collecting rents (and, in some cases, real estate taxes and insurance costs) due from a defaulting tenant. Any delay we experience in re-leasing a property or difficulty in re-leasing at acceptable rates may reduce cash available to make distributions to our stockholders. We cannot control the sale

 

10


Table of Contents

of some properties we acquire. We may give some tenants the right, but not the obligation, to purchase their properties from us beginning a specified number of years after the date of the lease. The leases might occasionally provide the tenant with a right of first refusal on any proposed sale. In addition, if our sale of a property will result in a taxable gain to the prior owner of the property, we may agree in some cases to use reasonable efforts to structure such a sale as a tax-deferred exchange. These factors may make it more difficult for our Advisor and our board of directors to freely control the sale of a property, even when such a sale may be in our best interests.

Discretionary consumer spending may affect the profitability of certain properties we acquire. The financial performance of certain properties in which we may invest will in part depend upon a number of factors relating to or affecting discretionary consumer spending for the types of services provided by businesses operated on these properties. Unfavorable local, regional, or national economic developments or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects could reduce consumer spending in the markets where we own properties and adversely affect our tenants’ businesses. Such developments could in turn impact our tenants’ ability to pay rent and thereby have a negative impact on our results of operations.

The inability to increase or maintain lease rates at our properties might affect our ability to distribute dividends to stockholders. Given the nature of certain properties we have acquired or may acquire, the relative stagnation of base lease rates in certain sectors might not allow for substantial increases in rental revenue that could allow for increased distributions to stockholders.

Seasonal revenue variations in certain asset classes will require the operators of those asset classes to manage cash flow properly over time so as to meet their non-seasonal scheduled rent payments to us. Certain of the properties in which we have invested and may invest in the future are generally seasonal in nature due to geographic location, climate and weather patterns. For example, revenue and profits at ski resorts and their related properties are substantially lower and historically result in losses during the summer months due to the closure of ski operations, while many attractions properties are closed during the winter months and produce the majority of their revenues and profits during summer months. As a result of the seasonal nature of certain business operations that may be conducted on properties we acquire, these businesses will experience seasonal variations in revenues that may require our operators to supplement revenue at their properties in order to be able to make scheduled rent payments to us. We have modified and may continue to modify our lease terms such that scheduled rental payments to us coincide with our operators’ seasonally busy period.

Increased competition for customers may reduce the ability of certain of our operators to make scheduled rent payments to us. The types of properties in which we invest are expected to face competition for customers from other similar properties, both locally and nationally. For example, competing golf courses may be located near the golf courses we own or acquire. Similarly, marinas we acquire will compete in each market with other marinas, some of which may have greater resources than our marinas, for a limited number of boaters seeking boat rental slips. Any decrease in revenues due to such competition at any of our properties may adversely affect our operators’ ability to make scheduled rent payments to us.

Our real estate assets may be subject to impairment charges. We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying value of our real estate assets for impairment indicators. Factors considered in evaluating impairment of our existing real estate assets held for investment include significant declines in property operating profits, recurring property operating losses and other significant adverse changes in general market conditions that are considered permanent in nature. Generally, a real estate asset held for investment is not considered impaired if the undiscounted, estimated future cash flows of the asset over its estimated holding period are in excess of the asset’s net book value at the balance sheet date. Management makes assumptions and estimates when considering impairments and actual results could vary materially from these assumptions.

We will have no economic interest in ground lease properties and may not control the land beneath certain properties we have and will acquire in the future. A significant number of the properties that we have acquired

 

11


Table of Contents

are on land owned by a governmental entity or other third party, while we own a leasehold, permit, or similar interest. For example, many ski properties are only available on land controlled by the U.S. Forest Service or other governmentally controlled special use permits. This means that while we have a right to use the property, we do not retain fee ownership in the underlying land. Accordingly, with respect to such properties, we will have no economic interest in the land or building at the expiration of the ground lease or permit. As a result, although we will share in the income stream derived from the lease or permit, we will not share in any increase in value of the land associated with the underlying property. Further, because we do not completely control the underlying land, the governmental or other third party owners that lease this land to us could take certain actions to disrupt our rights in the properties or our tenants’ operation of the properties or take the properties in an eminent domain proceeding. While we do not think such interruption is likely, such events are beyond our control. If the entity owning the land under one of our properties chose to disrupt our use either permanently or for a significant period of time, then the value of our assets could be impaired and our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Marinas, ski resorts, golf courses, attractions and other types of properties in which we may invest may not be readily adaptable to other uses. Ski resorts and related properties, marinas, golf courses, attractions and other types of properties in which we may invest are specific-use properties that have limited alternative uses. Therefore, if the operations of any of our properties in these sectors, such as our ski properties, become unprofitable for our tenant or operator due to industry competition, a general deterioration of the applicable industry or otherwise, such that the tenant becomes unable to meet its obligations under its lease, then we may have great difficulty re-leasing the property and the liquidation value of the property may be substantially less than would be the case if the property were readily adaptable to other uses. Should any of these events occur, our income and cash available for distribution and the value of our property portfolio could be reduced.

Adverse weather conditions may damage certain properties we acquire and/or reduce our operators’ ability to make scheduled rent payments to us. Weather conditions may influence revenues at certain types of properties we acquire. These adverse weather conditions include heavy snowfall (or lack thereof), hurricanes, tropical storms, high winds, heat waves, frosts, drought (or reduced rainfall levels), excessive rain, avalanches, mudslides and floods. Adverse weather could reduce the number of people participating in skiing, golfing, boating and ancillary activities at properties we acquire and have acquired. Certain properties may be susceptible to damage from weather conditions such as hurricanes, which damage (including, but not limited to property damage and loss of revenue) is not generally insurable at commercially reasonable rates. Further, the physical condition of golf courses we acquire must be satisfactory to attract play. In addition to severe or generally inclement weather, other factors, including, but not limited to plant disease and insect infestation, as well as the quality and quantity of water, could adversely affect the turf grass conditions at golf courses we own and acquire or develop. Most properties have some insurance coverage that will offset such losses and fund needed repairs. However, poor weather conditions could also disrupt operations at properties we own and acquire and may adversely affect both the value of our investment in a property, as well as the ability of our tenants and operators to make their scheduled rent payments to us.

We compete with other companies for investments. We anticipate that we will continue to compete with other companies and investors, including other REITs, real estate partnerships, mutual funds, institutional investors, specialty finance companies, opportunity funds, banks and insurance companies and the U.S. Government for the acquisition of properties, loans and other Permitted Investments that we seek to acquire or make. Some of the other entities with which we may compete for acquisition opportunities will have substantially greater experience acquiring and owning the types of properties, loans or other Permitted Investments that we seek to acquire or make, as well as greater financial resources and a broader geographic knowledge base than we have. As a result, competition may reduce the number of suitable acquisition opportunities available to us.

The real estate industry is capital intensive and we are subject to risks associated with ongoing needs for renovation and capital improvements to our properties as well as financing for such expenditures. In order for us

 

12


Table of Contents

to remain competitive, our properties will have an ongoing need for renovations and other capital improvements, including replacements, from time to time, of furniture, fixtures and equipment. These capital improvements may give rise to the following risks:

 

   

construction cost overruns and delays;

 

   

a possible shortage of available cash to fund capital improvements and the related possibility that financing for these capital improvements may not be available to us on satisfactory terms; and

 

   

disruptions in the operation of the properties while capital improvements are underway.

We will not control the management of our properties. In order to maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may not operate certain types of properties we acquire or participate in the decisions affecting their daily operations. Our success, therefore, will depend on our ability to select qualified and creditworthy tenants who can effectively manage and operate the properties. Our tenants are responsible for maintenance and other day-to-day management of the properties and either enter into agreements with third parties directly or into operating agreements with third-party operators. Because our revenues will largely be derived from rents, our financial condition will be dependent on the ability of third-party tenants and/or operators to operate the properties successfully. We will attempt to enter into leasing agreements with tenants having substantial prior experience in the operation of the type of property being rented, however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to make such arrangements. If our tenants or third-party operators are unable to operate the properties successfully or if we select unqualified operators, then such tenants and operators might not have sufficient revenue to be able to pay our rent, which could adversely affect our financial condition.

We may not control our joint ventures. Our Independent Directors must approve all joint venture or general partnership arrangements. Subject to that approval, we may enter into a joint venture with an unaffiliated party to purchase a property or to make loans or other Permitted Investments, and the joint venture or general partnership agreement relating to that joint venture or partnership may provide that we will share management control of the joint venture with the unaffiliated party. For instance, with respect to the Intrawest Resort Village Properties, Great Wolf Properties and the Dallas Market Center, our venture partners share approval rights on many major decisions. Those venture partners may have differing interests from ours and the power to direct the joint venture or partnership on certain matters in a manner with which we do not agree. In the event the joint venture or general partnership agreement provides that we will have sole management control of the joint venture, the agreement may be ineffective as to a third party who has no notice of the agreement, and we may therefore be unable to control fully the activities of the joint venture. Should we enter into a joint venture with another program sponsored by an affiliate, we do not anticipate that we will have sole management control of the joint venture. In addition, when we invest in properties, loans or other Permitted Investments indirectly through the acquisition of interests in entities that own such properties, loans or other Permitted Investments, we may not be able to control the management of such assets.

Joint venture partners may have different interests than we have, which may negatively impact our control over our ventures. Investments in joint ventures involve the risk that our co-venturer may have economic or business interests or goals which, at a particular time, are inconsistent with our interests or goals, that the co-venturer may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or objectives, or that the co-venturer may experience financial difficulties. Among other things, actions by a co-venturer might subject assets owned by the joint venture to liabilities in excess of those contemplated by the terms of the joint venture agreement or to other adverse consequences. This risk is also present when we make investments in the securities of other entities. If we do not have full control over a joint venture, the value of our investment will be affected to some extent by a third party that may have different goals and capabilities than ours. As a result, joint ownership of investments and investments in other entities may adversely affect our returns on investments and, therefore, cash available for distributions to our stockholders may be reduced.

It may be difficult for us to exit a joint venture after an impasse. In our joint ventures, there is a risk of impasse in some business decisions because our approval and the approval of each co-venturer will be required

 

13


Table of Contents

for some decisions. In any joint venture, we may have the right to buy the other co-venturer’s interest or to sell our own interest on specified terms and conditions in the event of an impasse regarding a sale. In the event of an impasse, it is possible that neither party will have the funds necessary to complete a buy-out. In addition, we may experience difficulty in locating a third-party purchaser for our joint venture interest and in obtaining a favorable sale price for the interest. As a result, it is possible that we may not be able to exit the relationship if an impasse develops.

Our operating results may be negatively affected by potential development and construction delays and resultant increased costs and risks. We may invest in properties upon which we will develop and construct improvements. We will be subject to risks relating to uncertainties associated with re-zoning for development and environmental concerns of governmental entities and/or community groups, and our ability to control construction costs or to build in conformity with plans, specifications and timetables. Our performance also may be affected or delayed by conditions beyond our control. Moreover, delays in completion of construction also could give tenants the right to terminate preconstruction leases for space at a newly developed project. Furthermore, we must rely upon projections of rental income, expenses and estimates of the fair market value of property upon completion of construction before agreeing to a property’s purchase price. If our projections are inaccurate, we may pay too much for a property and our return on our investment could suffer.

Economic conditions and unfavorable changes in apartment or residential markets could adversely affect occupancy levels and rental rates. Market and economic conditions in the South Florida area, where we own an apartment community, may significantly affect occupancy levels and rental rates and therefore profitability. Factors that may adversely affect these conditions include the following:

 

   

the economic climate, which may be adversely impacted by a reduction in jobs, industry slowdowns and other factors;

 

   

local conditions, such as oversupply of, or reduced demand for, apartment homes;

 

   

declines in household formation;

 

   

favorable residential mortgage rates; and

 

   

competition from other available apartments and other housing alternatives and changes in market rental rates.

Any of these factors could adversely affect our ability to achieve desired operating results from our investment.

Our governing documents may discourage takeovers. Certain provisions of our articles of incorporation, including the ownership limitations, transfer restrictions and ability to issue preferential preferred stock, may have the effect of preventing, delaying or discouraging takeovers of CNL Lifestyle Properties by third parties that a stockholder may consider favorable.

Certain provisions of our articles of incorporation may encourage a hostile takeover of CNL Lifestyle Properties. Certain provisions of our articles of incorporation exempt us from the application of Maryland’s Business Combinations Statute and Control Share Acquisition Act. Our exemption from the application of these statutes may have the effect of facilitating: (i) business combinations between us and beneficial owners of 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding voting stock, and (ii) the acquisition by any Person of shares entitled to exercise or direct the exercise of 10% or more of our total voting power. Because we will not be subject to the provisions of the Business Combinations Statute and the Control Share Acquisition Act, it may be more difficult for our stockholders to prevent or delay business combinations with large stockholders or acquisitions of substantial blocks of voting power by such stockholders or other Persons, should the ownership restrictions contained in our articles of incorporation be waived, modified or completely removed. Such business combinations or acquisitions of voting power could cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT.

Maryland law and our organizational documents limit your right to bring claims against our officers and directors. Maryland law provides that a director will not have any liability as a director so long as he or she performs his or her duties in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that an officer or director’s liability for monetary damages to us, our stockholders or third parties may be limited. Generally, we are obligated under our articles of incorporation and the bylaws to indemnify our officers and directors against certain liabilities incurred in connection with their services. We have executed indemnification agreements with each officer and director and agreed to indemnify them for any such liabilities that they incur. In addition, we have obtained directors and officers insurance in order to cover the expense of certain actions against our officers and directors. The indemnification agreements and insurance coverage could limit our ability and the ability of our stockholders to effectively take action against our officers and directors arising from their service to us without significant expense. We believe that the indemnification and limitation of liability arrangements described above are consistent with the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts adopted by certain states.

Lending Related Risks

Our loans may be affected by unfavorable real estate market conditions. When we make loans, we are at risk of default on those loans caused by many conditions beyond our control, including local and other economic conditions affecting real estate values and interest rate levels. We do not know whether the values of the properties collaterizing mortgage loans will remain at the levels existing on the dates of origination of the loans. If the values of the underlying properties drop or fail to rise, our risk will increase and the value of our interests may decrease.

Foreclosures create additional ownership risks that could adversely impact our returns on mortgage investments. If we acquire property by foreclosure following defaults under our mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans, we will have the economic and liability risks as the owner.

Our loans will be subject to interest rate fluctuations. If we invest in fixed-rate, long-term loans and interest rates rise, the loans will yield a return lower than then-current market rates. If interest rates decrease, we will be adversely affected to the extent that loans are prepaid, because we will not be able to make new loans at the previously higher interest rate.

Lack of principal amortization of loans increases the risk of borrower default at maturity and delays in liquidating defaulted loans could reduce our investment returns and our cash available for distributions. Certain of the loans that we have made do not require the amortization of principal during their term. As a result, a substantial amount of, or the entire principal balance of such loans, will be due in one balloon payment at maturity. Failure to amortize the principal balance of loans may increase the risk of a default during the term, and at maturity, of loans. A default under loans could have a material adverse effect on our ability to pay anticipated distributions to stockholders. Further, if there are defaults under our loans, we may not be able to repossess and sell the underlying properties or other security quickly. The resulting time delay could reduce the value of our investment in the defaulted loans. An action to foreclose on a mortgaged property securing a loan is regulated by state statutes and rules and is subject to many of the delays and expenses of other lawsuits if the defendant raises defenses or counterclaims. In the event of default by a mortgagor, these restrictions, among other things, may impede our ability to foreclose on or sell the mortgaged property or to obtain proceeds sufficient to repay all amounts due on our loan. Any failure or delay by a borrower in making scheduled payments to us may adversely affect our ability to make distributions to stockholders.

We may make loans on a subordinated and unsecured basis and may not be able to collect outstanding principal and interest. Although our loans to third parties are usually secured by collateral pledged by such borrowers, we may make loans that are unsecured and/or subordinated in right of payment to such third parties’ existing and future indebtedness. In the event of a foreclosure, bankruptcy, liquidation, winding up, reorganization or other similar proceeding relating to such third party, and in certain other events, such third

 

15


Table of Contents

party’s assets may only be available to pay obligations on our unsecured loans after the third party’s other indebtedness has been paid. As a result, there may not be sufficient assets remaining to pay the principal or interest on the unsecured loans we may make.

Financing Related Risks

There is no guarantee that borrowing arrangements or other arrangements for obtaining leverage will continue to be available, or if available, will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to us. Unfavorable economic conditions have increased financing costs and limited access to the capital markets. In addition, a decline in market value of our assets may have adverse consequences in instances where we borrow money based on the fair value of those assets. A decrease in market value of those assets may result in the lender requiring us to post additional collateral.

Currently, the market for credit facilities is very challenging and many lenders are actively seeking to reduce their balances outstanding by lowering advance rates on financed assets and increasing borrowing cost, to the extent such facilities continue to be available. In the event we are unable to maintain or extend existing and/or secure new lines of credit or collaterized financing on favorable terms, our ability to make investments and our ability to make distributions may be significantly impacted.

Anticipated borrowing creates risks. We have borrowed and will likely continue to borrow money to acquire assets, to preserve our status as a REIT or for other corporate purposes. We generally mortgage or put a lien on one or more of our assets in connection with any borrowing. We intend to obtain one or more revolving lines of credit of up to $500 million to provide financing for the acquisition of assets, although our board of directors could determine to borrow a greater amount. We currently have a collateralized $100.0 million line of credit. We may repay the line of credit using equity offering proceeds, including proceeds from our stock offering, proceeds from the sale of assets, working capital or long-term financing. We also have and intend to continue to obtain long-term financing. We may not borrow more than 300% of the value of our net assets without the approval of a majority of our Independent Directors. Borrowing may be subject to risk if the cash flow from our properties and other Permitted Investments is insufficient to meet our debt obligations. In addition, our lenders may seek to impose restrictions on future borrowings, distributions and operating policies, including with respect to capital expenditures and asset dispositions. If we mortgage assets or pledge equity as collateral and we cannot meet our debt obligations, then the lender could take the collateral, and we would lose the asset or equity and the income we were deriving from the asset.

Because our revenues are highly dependent on lease payments from our properties and interest payments from loans that we make, defaults by our tenants or borrowers would reduce our cash available for the repayment of our outstanding debt and for distributions. Our ability to repay any outstanding debt and make distributions to stockholders will depend upon the ability of our tenants and borrowers to make payments to us, and their ability to make these payments will depend primarily on their ability to generate sufficient revenues in excess of operating expenses from businesses conducted on our properties. For example, the ability of our golf tenants to make their scheduled rent payments to us will be dependent upon their ability to generate sufficient operating income at the golf courses they operate. A tenant’s failure or delay in making scheduled rent payments to us or a borrower’s failure to make debt service payments to us may result from the tenant or borrower realizing reduced revenues at the properties it operates.

Defaults on our borrowings may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Defaults on loans secured by a property we own may result in foreclosure actions and our loss of the property or properties securing the loan that is in default. Such legal actions are expensive. For tax purposes, a foreclosure would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the property. If the outstanding balance of the debt exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on the foreclosure and all or a portion of such taxable income may be subject to tax and/or required to be distributed to our stockholders in order for us to qualify as a REIT. In such case, we would

 

16


Table of Contents

not receive any cash proceeds to enable us to pay such tax or make such distributions. If any mortgages contain cross collateralization or cross default provisions, more than one property may be affected by a default. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default, our financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to stockholders will be adversely affected.

Financing arrangements involving balloon payment obligations may adversely affect our ability to make distributions. Some of our fixed-term financing arrangements may require us to make “balloon” payments at maturity. Our ability to make a balloon payment at maturity is uncertain and may depend upon our ability to obtain additional financing or sell a particular property. At the time the balloon payment is due, we may not be able to raise equity or refinance the balloon payment on terms as favorable as the original loan or sell the property at a price sufficient to make the balloon payment. The effect of a refinancing or sale of property could affect the rate of return to stockholders and the projected time of disposition of our assets. In addition, payments of principal and interest may leave us with insufficient cash to pay the distributions that we are required to pay to maintain our qualification as a REIT.

Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. We may borrow money that bears interest at a variable rate. In addition, from time to time we may pay mortgage loans or refinance our properties in a rising interest rate environment. Accordingly, increases in interest rates could increase our interest costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating cash flow and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

We may borrow money to make distributions and distributions may not come from funds from operations. In the past, we have borrowed from affiliates and other persons to make distributions, and in the future we may continue to borrow money as we consider necessary or advisable to meet our distribution requirements. Our distributions may exceed our funds from operations. In the event that we make distributions in excess of our earnings and profits, such distributions could constitute a return of capital for federal income tax and accounting purposes. Furthermore, in the event that we are unable to fund future distributions from our funds from operations, the value of your shares upon the possible listing of our stock, the sale of our assets or any other liquidity event may be negatively affected.

Lenders may require us to enter into restrictive covenants relating to our operations, which could limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. When providing financing, a lender may impose restrictions on us that affect our distributions, operating policies and ability to incur additional debt. Loan documents we enter into may contain covenants that limit our ability to further mortgage a property or affect other operational policies. Such limitations hamper our flexibility and may impair our ability to achieve our operating plans.

We may acquire various financial instruments for purposes of “hedging” or reducing our risks which may be costly and/or ineffective and will reduce our cash available for distribution to our stockholders. Use of derivative instruments for hedging purposes may present significant risks, including the risk of loss of the amounts invested. Defaults by the other party to a hedging transaction can result in the hedging transaction becoming worthless or a speculative hedge. Hedging activities also involve the risk of an imperfect correlation between the hedging instrument and the asset being hedged, which could result in losses both on the hedging transaction and on the asset being hedged. Use of hedging activities generally may not prevent significant losses and could increase our losses. Further, hedging transactions may reduce cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

Tax Related Risks

We will be subject to increased taxation if we fail to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We believe that we have been organized and have operated, and intend to continue to be organized and to operate, in a manner that will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. A REIT is generally not subject to

 

17


Table of Contents

federal income tax at the corporate level on income it distributes to its stockholders, so long as it distributes annually at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders and meets other compliance requirements. We have not requested, and do not plan to request, a ruling from the IRS that we qualify as a REIT. Based upon representations made by our officers with respect to certain factual matters, and upon counsel’s assumption that we have operated and will continue to operate in the manner described in the representations and in our prospectus relating to our common stock offerings, our tax counsel, Arnold & Porter LLP, has rendered an opinion that we were organized and have operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT and that our proposed method of operation will enable us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification as a REIT. Our continued qualification as a REIT will depend on our continuing ability to meet highly technical and complex requirements concerning, among other things, the ownership of our outstanding shares of common stock, the nature of our assets, the sources of our income, the amount of our distributions to our stockholders and the filing of TRS elections. No assurance can be given that we qualify or will continue to qualify as a REIT or that new legislation, Treasury Regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly change the tax laws with respect to our qualification as a REIT.

You should be aware that opinions of counsel are not binding on the IRS or on any court. The conclusions stated in the opinion of our tax counsel are conditioned on, and our continued qualification as a REIT will depend on, our company meeting various requirements.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates. In addition to these taxes, we may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, we also could not elect to be taxed as a REIT for four taxable years following the year during which we were disqualified. Therefore, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, the funds available for distribution to stockholders, would be reduced substantially for each of the years involved.

Our leases may be recharacterized as financings which would eliminate depreciation deductions on our properties. We believe that we would be treated as the owner of properties where we would own the underlying land, except with respect to leases structured as “financing leases,” which would constitute financings for federal income tax purposes. If the lease of a property does not constitute a lease for federal income tax purposes and is recharacterized as a secured financing by the IRS, then we believe the lease should be treated as a financing arrangement and the income derived from such a financing arrangement should satisfy the 75% and the 95% gross income tests for REIT qualification as it would be considered to be interest on a loan secured by real property. Nevertheless, the recharacterization of a lease in this fashion may have adverse tax consequences for us. In particular, we would not be entitled to claim depreciation deductions with respect to the property (although we should be entitled to treat part of the payments we would receive under the arrangement as the repayment of principal). In such event, in some taxable years our taxable income, and the corresponding obligation to distribute 90% of such income, would be increased. With respect to leases structured as “financing leases,” we will report income received as interest income and will not take depreciation deductions related to the real property. Any increase in our distribution requirements may limit our ability to invest in additional properties and to make additional mortgage loans. No assurance can be provided that the IRS would recharacterize such transactions as financings that would qualify under the 95% and 75% gross income tests.

Excessive non-real estate asset values may jeopardize our REIT status. In order to qualify as a REIT, among other requirements, at least 75% of the value of our assets must consist of investments in real estate, investments in other REITs, cash and cash equivalents and government securities. Accordingly, the value of any other property that is not considered a real estate asset for federal income tax purposes must represent in the aggregate not more than 25% of our total assets. In addition, under federal income tax law, we may not own securities in, or make loans to, any one company (other than a REIT, a qualified REIT subsidiary or a taxable REIT subsidiary) which represent in excess of 10% of the voting securities or 10% of the value of all securities of that company or which have, in the aggregate, a value in excess of 5% of our total assets, and we may not own securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries which have, in the aggregate, a value in excess of 25% of our total assets.

Table of Contents

The REIT qualification tests are determined at the end of each calendar quarter. If we fail to meet any such test at the end of any calendar quarter, and such failure is not remedied within 30 days after the close of such quarter, we will cease to qualify as a REIT, unless certain requirements are satisfied.

We may have to borrow funds or sell assets to meet our distribution requirements. Subject to some adjustments that are unique to REITs, a REIT generally must distribute 90% of its taxable income. For the purpose of determining taxable income, we may be required to accrue interest, rent and other items treated as earned for tax purposes, but that we have not yet received. In addition, we may be required not to accrue as expenses for tax purposes some items which actually have been paid, or some of our deductions might be disallowed by the IRS. As a result, we could have taxable income in excess of cash available for distribution. If this occurs, we may have to borrow funds or liquidate some of our assets in order to meet the distribution requirement applicable to a REIT.

Despite our REIT status, we remain subject to various taxes which would reduce operating cash flow if and to the extent certain liabilities are incurred. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we are subject to some federal, state and local taxes on our income and property that could reduce operating cash flow, including but not limited to: (i) tax on any undistributed real estate investment trust taxable income; (ii) “alternative minimum tax” on our items of tax preference; (iii) certain state income taxes (because not all states treat REITs the same as they are treated for federal income tax purposes); (iv) a tax equal to 100% of net gain from “prohibited transactions;” (v) tax on gains from the sale of certain “foreclosure property;” (vi) tax on gains of sale of certain “built-in gain” properties;” (vi) certain taxes and penalties if we fail to comply with one or more REIT qualification requirements, but nevertheless qualify to maintain our status as a REIT; and (vii) income tax on taxable income of TRS entities.

We may be required to pay a penalty tax upon the sale of a property. The federal income tax provisions applicable to REITs provide that any gain realized by a REIT on the sale of property held as inventory or other property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business is treated as income from a “prohibited transaction” that is subject to a 100% penalty tax. Under current law, unless a sale of real property qualifies for a safe harbor, the question of whether the sale of a property constitutes the sale of property held primarily for sale to customers is generally a question of the facts and circumstances regarding a particular transaction. We intend that we and our subsidiaries will hold the interests in our properties for investment with a view to long-term appreciation, to engage in the business of acquiring and owning properties, and to make occasional sales as are consistent with our investment objectives. We do not intend to engage in prohibited transactions. We cannot assure you, however, that we will only make sales that satisfy the requirements of the safe harbors or that the IRS will not successfully assert that one or more of such sales are prohibited transactions.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

Market Information. There is no established public trading market for our shares, and even though we intend to list our shares on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter market if market conditions are satisfactory, a public market for our shares may not develop even if the shares are listed. Prior to such time, if any, as the listing of our shares occurs, any stockholder who has held shares for not less than one year (other than our Advisor or its affiliates) may present all or any portion equal to at least 25% of such stockholder’s shares to us for redemption at any time pursuant to our existing redemption plan. See the section entitled “Redemption of Shares” below for additional information regarding our redemption plan.

As of December 31, 2008, the price per share of our common stock was $10.00. We determined the price per share based upon the price we believed investors would pay for the shares and upon the price at which our shares are currently selling. We did not take into account the value of the underlying assets in determining the price per share.

We are aware of sales of our common stock made between investors totaling 21,793 shares sold at an average price of $9.21 per share during 2008, 16,293 shares sold at an average price of $8.96 per share during 2007 and 6,000 shares sold at an average price of $8.50 per share during 2006.

Beginning on April 16, 2004, we offered for sale up to $2.0 billion in shares of common stock (200 million shares of common stock at $10.00 per share) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 333-108355), as amended (the “1st Offering”). We commenced active operations on June 23, 2004, when the minimum required offering proceeds were received and funds were released to us from escrow. Our activities from August 11, 2003, our inception, through June 23, 2004 were devoted to the organization of the company. On March 31, 2006, the 1st Offering was terminated and on April 4, 2006, we commenced our second common stock offering for sale up to $2.0 billion in common stock (200 million shares of common stock at $10.00 per share) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 333-128662), as amended (the “2nd Offering”). On April 4, 2008, the 2nd Offering was terminated and on April 9, 2008, we commenced our third common stock offering for sale up to $2.0 billion in common stock (200 million shares of common stock at $10.00 per share) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 333-146457), as amended (the “3rd Offering”) including up to $47.5 million in shares of common stock (five million shares of common stock at $9.50 per share) available for sale under the terms of our distribution reinvestment plan. As of December 31, 2008, we had cumulatively raised approximately $2.3 billion (230.4 million shares) in subscription proceeds including approximately $126.4 million (13.3 million shares) received through our reinvestment plan. As of March 1, 2009, we had approximately 73,000 common stockholders of record.

The following table summarizes our public offerings as of December 31, 2008 (in thousands). Redemptions are shown under the offering in which the investor originally purchased its shares that were redeemed.

In addition to the shares sold through our public offerings, our Advisor purchased 20,000 shares for $200,000 preceding the commencement of our 1st Offering. In December 2004, 117,706 restricted common shares for $1.2 million were issued to CNL Financial Group, Inc., a company affiliated with our Advisor and wholly owned indirectly by our chairman of the board.

Distributions. We make distributions to stockholders pursuant to the provisions of our articles of incorporation. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we declared and paid cash distributions of approximately $128.4 million and $94.1 million, respectively, to the stockholders. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, approximately 41.0% and 58.0%, respectively, of the distributions paid to stockholders were considered ordinary income and approximately 59.0% and 42.0%, respectively, were considered a return of capital to stockholders for federal income tax purposes. No amounts distributed to stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, were required to be or have been treated by us as a return of capital for purposes of calculating the stockholders’ return on their invested capital as described in our advisory agreement.

The following table presents total distributions declared and distributions per share (in thousands except per share data):

On January 27, 2009, our board of directors declared a special distribution of $0.035 per share to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2009. Additionally, we will increase our monthly distribution rate from $0.05125 to $0.0521 per share effective April 1, 2009. The special distribution will be paid on June 30, 2009 along with our quarterly distribution. On an annualized basis the increased rate, excluding the special distribution, would represent a 6.25% return if paid for twelve months based on the current $10.00 per share offering price of our common stock.

We have and intend to continue to pay distributions to our stockholders on a quarterly basis. The amount of distributions declared to our stockholders will be determined by our board of directors and is dependent upon a number of factors, including expected and actual net cash from operations for the year, our financial condition, a balanced analysis of value creation reflective of both current and expected long-term stabilized cash flows from

Table of Contents

our properties, our objective of continuing to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the actual operating results of each quarter, economic conditions, other operating trends, capital requirements and avoidance of volatility of distributions. Operating cash flows are expected to be generated from properties, loans and other Permitted Investments acquired or made by us. We are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to maintain our REIT qualification for tax purposes. We have and may continue to borrow on our revolving line of credit to fund distributions to stockholders at the end of each fiscal quarter. See “Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources” within Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information related to our sources of cash for distributions.

Redemption of Shares. Our redemption plan is designed to provide eligible stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to us prior to the listing of our shares. Subject to certain restrictions discussed below, we may redeem fractional shares, from time to time, at the following prices:

 

   

$9.25 per share for stockholders who have owned their shares for at least one year;

 

   

$9.50 per share for stockholders who have owned their shares for at least two years;

 

   

$9.75 per share for stockholders who have owned their shares for at least three years; and

 

   

for stockholders who have owned their shares for at least four years, a price determined by our board of directors but in no event less than $10.00 per share.

During the period of any public offering, the repurchase price will be equal to or below the price of the shares offered in any offering. Stockholders that have purchased shares in 1st Offering will receive no less than $9.50 for their shares and will be eligible to redeem at greater than $9.50 when the applicable holding period has been met in accordance with the pricing set forth above. Redemption of shares issued pursuant to our reinvestment plan will be priced based upon the purchase price from which shares are being reinvested.

Any stockholder who has held shares for not less than one year (other than our Advisor) may present for our consideration, all or any portion equal to at least 25% of such shares to us for redemption at any time. At such time, we may, at our sole option, choose to redeem such shares presented for redemption for cash to the extent we have sufficient funds available. Further, we have the right to waive the one-year holding period in the event of the death, permanent disability or bankruptcy of a stockholder or other exigent circumstances. There is no assurance that there will be sufficient funds available for redemption or that we will exercise our discretion to redeem such shares and, accordingly, a stockholder’s shares may not be redeemed. Factors that we will consider in making our determinations to redeem shares include:

 

   

whether such redemption impairs our capital or operations;

 

   

whether an emergency makes such redemption not reasonably practical;

 

   

whether any governmental or regulatory agency with jurisdiction over us demands such action for the protection of our stockholders;

 

   

whether such redemption would be unlawful; and

 

   

whether such redemption, when considered with all other redemptions, sales, assignments, transfers and exchanges of our shares, could prevent us from qualifying as a REIT for tax purposes.

If we elect to redeem shares, the following conditions and limitations would apply. The full amount of the proceeds from the sale of shares under the reinvestment plan (the “Reinvestment Proceeds”) attributable to any calendar quarter will be used to redeem shares presented for redemption during such quarter. In addition, we may, at our discretion, use up to $100,000 per calendar quarter of the proceeds of any public offering of our common stock for redemptions. Any amount of offering proceeds which is available for redemptions, but which is unused, may be carried over to the next succeeding calendar quarter for use in addition to the amount of offering proceeds and Reinvestment Proceeds that would otherwise be available for redemptions. At no time

during a 12-month period, however, may the number of shares we redeem (if we determine to redeem shares) exceed 5% of the weighted average shares of our common stock at the beginning of such 12-month period. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we redeemed approximately 3.6 million shares at an average price of approximately $9.52 per share, for a total of approximately $34.0 million.

Shares are redeemed on a quarterly basis. In the event there are insufficient funds to redeem all of the shares for which redemption requests have been submitted, and we determine to redeem shares, each stockholder’s request will be reduced on a pro-rata basis at the end of each quarter, with the actual redemption occurring at the beginning of the next quarter. A stockholder whose shares are not redeemed due to insufficient funds in that quarter can ask that the request to redeem the shares be honored at such time as sufficient funds exist. In such case, the redemption request will be retained, and such shares will be committed for redemption (if we determine to redeem shares) in the same manner as described above at the end of the next quarter. Alternatively, if a redemption request is not satisfied and the stockholder does not make a subsequent request to redeem its shares at such time as sufficient proceeds from the Reinvestment Plan exist, we will treat the initial redemption request as cancelled. Stockholders will not relinquish their shares of common stock to us until such time as we commit to redeem such shares. Commitments to redeem shares will be made at the end of each quarter and will be communicated to each stockholder who has submitted a request in writing. Until such time as a commitment is communicated and shares are actually delivered to us, a stockholder may withdraw its redemption request.

A stockholder who wishes to have his or her shares redeemed must mail or deliver a written request on a form we provide, executed by the stockholder, its trustee or authorized agent, to the redemption agent, which is currently Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. The redemption agent at all times will be registered or exempt from registration as a broker-dealer with the Commission and each state securities commission. Within 30 days following the redemption agent’s receipt of the stockholder’s request, the redemption agent will forward to such stockholder the documents necessary to affect the redemption, including any signature guarantee we or the redemption agent may require. In the event that we elect to accept such shares for redemption, the redemption agent will affect such redemption for the calendar quarter provided that it receives the properly completed redemption documents relating to the shares to be redeemed from the stockholder at least one calendar month prior to the last day of the current calendar quarter and has sufficient funds available to redeem such shares. The effective date of any redemption will be the last date during a quarter during which the redemption agent receives the properly completed redemption documents. As a result, we anticipate that, assuming sufficient funds are available for redemption, the redemptions will be paid no later than 30 days after the quarterly determination of the availability of funds for redemption.

Accordingly, the redemption price paid to stockholders for shares of common stock we redeem may vary over time to the extent that the IRS changes its ruling regarding the percentage discount that a REIT may give on reinvested shares, or to the extent that the board of directors determines to make a corresponding change to the price at which it offers shares pursuant to its reinvestment plan.

Table of Contents

A stockholder may present fewer than all of his or her shares to us for redemption provided that:

 

   

the minimum number of shares which must be presented for redemption shall be at least 25% of his or her shares, and

 

   

if such stockholder retains any shares, he or she must retain at least $5,000 worth of shares based on the current offering price.

Our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may amend or suspend the redemption plan at any time it determines that such amendment or suspension is in our best interest. If our board of directors amends or suspends the redemption plan, we will provide stockholders with at least 30 days advance notice prior to effecting such amendment or suspension: (i) in our annual or quarterly reports or (ii) by means of a separate mailing accompanied by disclosure in a current or periodic report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. While we are engaged in an offering, we will also include this information in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the registration statement as required under federal securities laws. The redemption plan will terminate, and we no longer shall accept shares for redemption, if and when listing occurs.

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) Operations commenced on June 23, 2004 when we received minimum offering proceeds of $2.5 million and funds were released from escrow. We completed our first investment in December 2004. The historical results of operations are not necessarily indicative of future performance due to our limited operating history and our rate of growth attributable to the significant increase in proceeds raised through our offerings as well as the number and magnitude of real estate acquisitions made in recent periods.

 

(2) On December 12, 2008, we sold our Talega Golf Course property to Won & Jay, Inc. (“W&J”) for $22.0 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $4.5 million. At the same time, we paid approximately $2.4 million in loan prepayment fees and terminated our lease on the property with Heritage Golf. In connection with the sale, we received cash in the amount of $12.0 million and promissory note from W&J in the amount of $10.0 million. See “Mortgages and Other Notes Receivable” under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we have reclassified and included the results from the property sold in 2008 as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

 

(3) Cash distributions are declared by the board of directors and generally are based on various factors, including expected and actual net cash from operations and our general financial condition, among others. Approximately 41.0%, 58.0%, 71.9%, 51.9%, and 24.0% of the distributions received by stockholders were considered to be ordinary income and approximately 59.0%, 42.0%, 28.1%, 48.1%, and 76.0% were considered a return of capital for federal income tax purposes for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. We have not treated such amounts as a return of capital for purposes of calculating the stockholders’ return on their invested capital, as described in our advisory agreement.

 

(4) We consider funds from operations (“FFO”) to be an indicative measure of operating performance due to the significant effect of depreciation of real estate assets on net income. FFO, based on the revised definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and as used herein, means net income determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation and amortization, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other equity REITs. FFO was developed by NAREIT as a relative measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. However, FFO (i) does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP (which, unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events that enter into the determination of net income); (ii) is not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs; and (iii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indication of our operating performance, or to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of either liquidity or our ability to make distributions. FFO as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other companies. Accordingly, we believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the consolidated historical operating results, FFO should be considered in conjunction with our net income as reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

INTRODUCTION

CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc., formerly known as CNL Income Properties, Inc., was organized pursuant to the laws of the State of Maryland on August 11, 2003. We were formed primarily to acquire lifestyle properties in the United States that we lease on a long-term (generally five to 20 years, plus multiple renewal options), triple-net or gross basis to tenant operators or to affiliated tenants who contract third-party managers that we consider to be significant industry leaders. We define lifestyle properties as those properties that reflect or are impacted by the social, consumption and entertainment values and choices of our society. We also make and acquire loans (including mortgage, mezzanine and other loans) generally collateralized by interests in real estate. We currently operate and have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2004. We have retained CNL Lifestyle Company, LLC, formerly known as CNL Income Company, LLC, as our Advisor to provide management, acquisition, advisory and administrative services.

All capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings described to them in the “Definitions” section of our Prospectus.

GENERAL

One of our principal business objectives is to build and manage a diversified portfolio of real estate investments. We have built a portfolio of properties that we consider to be well-diversified by region, asset type and operator. As of March 1, 2009, we had a portfolio of 115 lifestyle properties that, when aggregated by purchase price, was diversified as follows: approximately 32% in ski and mountain lifestyle, 26% in golf, 21% in attractions and 21% in additional lifestyle properties. These assets specifically consist of 53 golf courses, one dealership, one merchandise mart, 23 ski and mountain lifestyle properties, 11 marinas, 24 attractions, one multi-family residential property and one property held for redevelopment. Ten of these 115 properties are owned through unconsolidated ventures and three are located in Canada. We have also made a number of loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of approximately $166.8 million at March 1, 2009.

The real estate industry and the U.S. economy as a whole has been faced with significant challenges in 2008 that will likely continue through at least 2009. However, we believe that many of our properties are well positioned to take advantage of the recent decline in the U.S. economy because of their accessible drive-to locations and the types of activities and experiences offered at affordable price points. While individuals may shorten or forgo an expensive vacation to a destination resort, our research shows that they still spend time with their families on leisure activities. For example, there has been a reported rise in “staycations” which can be defined as a period of time in which an individual or family stays at home engaging in nearby leisure activities or takes regional day trips from their home to area attractions as opposed to a destination or fly-to vacation. Even in a down market, spending on leisure pursuits continues and while certain consumers will reduce their spending on material items and luxury goods, they will still continue to seek leisure and recreational outlets to create memories with family and friends. Many of the asset classes in which we operate are reporting sustained or better operating levels in comparison to prior years or seasons, while others continue to face challenges and uncertainties.

Ski and mountain lifestyle. The U.S. ski industry set an all-time record of 60.5 million skier and rider visits for the 2007/2008 season. According to the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA), U.S. ski areas have reported that skiers and snowboarders continue to visit the slopes in strong numbers despite current economic conditions. Fall 2008 reports of season pass sales for the 2008/2009 season across the nation were at record levels, and at resorts with early snow, skiers were turning out at the same level as, or in higher numbers than last season, and above the 10 year average. An October survey of a national sampling of skiers and snowboarders showed the total number of intended ski days for the season to be on pace with last year across every region. More than half of the participants surveyed said they would seek out destinations closer to home and 50 percent said they would seek out more affordable lodging and reduce the amount they spend on food and

beverage. These statistics are consistent with the results and trends we are experiencing with most of our ski & mountain lifestyle properties and tenants: visitation is up at many of our resorts while profitability per visit is being compressed.

Attractions. The regional and local gated park attractions have historically been resistant to recession. According to a 2008 publication by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Global Entertainment and Media Outlook 2008—2012, “Theme Parks and Amusement Parks”, spending on parks and attractions in the U.S. is expected to increase from $12.5 billion in 2008 to $14.5 billion in 2012. Attendance in the U.S. is expected to increase from 347 million visits in 2008 to 373 million in 2012. PARC Management, our largest operator of attractions, experienced a 13% growth in attendance in 2008 and recently released the following statement: “Pre-season annual pass sales can be a good indicator of demand for our drive-to, value-based entertainment. Through January, we are experiencing double digit percentage increases over 2008 in annual pass sales across our portfolio of themeparks and waterparks. We believe this momentum demonstrates the shift that consumers are making to closer to home entertainment.”

Golf. According to the National Golf Foundation (NGF), participation is stable at approximately 29.5 million golfers, 500 million rounds, and 16,000 facilities. As of December 2008, the annual year-to-date number of rounds played was only down 1.8% against the same period in 2007. However, the NGF estimates that half of the core golfers are being impacted by the slowing economy and are cutting back on spending for playing fees, food and beverage and merchandise. The hardest hit group in this industry is the private courses, which have been affected by the decline in the general economy and housing market causing a drop in new membership sales. As discussed below, our largest golf tenant has been adversely affected by the weakening economy and inability to access capital markets for working capital needs.

Overall, the prevailing trend across all of our asset classes is that the leading industry indicators, such as number of skier or attraction visits or golf rounds played, have been generally sustained or increased in some cases during this economic downturn. However, the per head spending has decreased, thus having a potential impact on our earnings and cash flows. We closely monitor the performance of all tenants, their financial strength, their ability to pay rent under the leases for our properties, and any potential indicators of impairment in the value of our assets. Our asset managers review operating results and rent coverage compared to budget for each of our properties on a monthly basis, monitor the local and regional economy, competitor activity, and other environmental, regulatory or operating conditions for each property, make periodic site visits and engage in regular discussions with our tenants. In some cases, we have provided temporary relief from the current market conditions in the form of rent deferrals or have modified lease terms for certain tenants that are most significantly impacted by seasonality such that the majority, if not all, of the scheduled rents are paid during the seasonally busy months. In addition, whenever the situation warrants, we evaluate our properties for impairment in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (see further discussion of our methods and assumptions under “Critical Accounting Policies—Impairments”). Based on our analyses, we have not identified any impairments in the carrying value of our real estate assets. We continue to believe that our properties have long-term value and we continue to manage our portfolio through these temporary and cyclical market conditions with a long-term view.

We will continue to focus on property acquisitions and other investments with increased focus on the management and oversight of our existing assets. We have, and intend to maintain, low leverage and a conservative FFO payout ratio in comparison to our competitors. Our conservative lease structures generally require security deposits and include cross-default provisions when multiple properties are leased to a single tenant.

We experience competition from other REITs, real estate partnerships, mutual funds, institutional investors, specialty finance companies, opportunity funds and other investors, including, but not limited to, banks and insurance companies, many of which have greater financial resources than us in the acquisition, leasing and financing of properties within our targeted asset classes. Due to the current conditions in the U.S. financial

markets, the availability of capital resources from these competitor sources has dramatically decreased and rates and spreads have begun to fluctuate. As rates and spreads begin to normalize, and when and if U.S. government monies become available through economic stimulus packages, our competition for investments will likely increase or revert back to historical levels. These competitors may also have a lower cost of capital and are subject to less regulation. The level of competition impacts our ability to find both real estate investments and tenants. We may also face competition from other funds in which affiliates of our Advisor may participate or advise.

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax at the corporate level to the extent that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our stockholders and meet other compliance requirements. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which our qualification is lost. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income and cash flows. However, we believe that we are organized and have operated in a manner to qualify for treatment as a REIT beginning with the year ended December 31, 2004. In addition, we intend to continue to be organized and to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

Our principal demand for funds during the short and long-term will be for property acquisitions, loans and other Permitted Investments and for the payment of operating expenses, debt service and distributions to stockholders. Generally, our cash needs for items other than property acquisitions and making loans are generated from operations and our existing investments. The sources of our operating cash flows are primarily driven by the rental income and net security deposits received from leased properties, from interest payments on the loans we make, interest earned on our cash balances and by distributions from our unconsolidated entities. A reduction in cash flows from any of these sources could significantly decrease our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. In addition, we have a revolving line of credit on which we have drawn $100.0 million to ensure we have sufficient cash available for future acquisitions and working capital needs.

We intend to continue to acquire properties, make loans and other Permitted Investments with proceeds from our public offerings, our working line of credit and long-term debt financing. If sufficient capital is not raised, or if affordable debt is unavailable, it would limit our ability to acquire additional properties or make loans and Permitted Investments.

We intend to continue to pay distributions to our stockholders on a quarterly basis. Operating cash flows are expected to continue to be generated from properties, loans and other Permitted Investments to cover a significant portion of such distributions and any temporary shortfalls are expected to be funded with cash borrowed under our line of credit. In the event that our properties do not perform as expected or that we are unable to acquire properties at the pace expected, we may not be able to continue to pay distributions to stockholders or may need to reduce the distribution rate or borrow to continue paying distributions, all of which may negatively impact a stockholder’s investment in the long-term. Our ability to acquire properties is in part dependent upon our ability to locate and contract with suitable third-party tenants. The inability to locate suitable tenants may delay our ability to acquire certain properties. We are also challenged due to the complex and expensive structures we must use to acquire properties due to the tax, accounting and legal requirements of being a REIT. Delays in acquiring properties or making loans with the capital raised from our common stock offerings adversely affect our ability to pay distributions to our existing stockholders.

We believe that our current liquidity needs to pay operating expenses, debt service and distributions to stockholders will be adequately covered by cash generated from operating activities and cash on hand. We have

no significant debt maturities coming due until the middle of 2010 when our $100.0 million revolving line of credit matures. We have the ability to extend this maturity for two years subject to approval of the syndicate of lenders, however, there can be no assurance that such extension will be approved. The acquisition of additional real estate investments will be dependent upon the amount and pace of capital raised through our public offerings and our ability to obtain additional long-term debt financing, both of which have been affected by recent market conditions.

Recent Market Conditions

In recent months the global and U.S. economy has deteriorated significantly, which negatively impacted foreign and domestic stock markets and banking systems as well as many companies across most industry segments. As of the date of this report, there is still a great deal of uncertainty regarding whether conditions will continue to worsen, the duration of the economic downturn, and what the full short and long-term impact of these events will be on the global and U.S. economy and individual businesses. Additionally, there is no ability to project when conditions will begin to improve. We continue to monitor economic events, capital markets and the financial stability of our tenants to minimize the impact on our business. While we remain cautious about the impact of these events on us, we are also optimistic that these events may provide us with acquisition opportunities over the next year or two as property owners need to refinance or recapitalize their businesses and alternative financing sources are unavailable. As of March 1, 2009, we had approximately $219.1 million in cash available to support our business and to acquire new properties. The following is a summary of how the current economic crisis has impacted us to date and how we believe it will impact us going forward with respect to capital markets and our existing operations.

Impact on Capital Markets—We have seen a significant decrease in the availability of debt. When and where debt is available, we anticipate that our cost of borrowing will likely increase over historical rates. We continue to maintain a low leverage ratio, which was approximately 25.3% at December 31, 2008 with a long-term target of 50% debt to total assets. As discussed above, we have no near-term debt maturities, with the first significant maturity occurring in the middle of 2010. Sales of our common stock were lower in 2008 than in 2007 because of higher than normal sales in 2007 which resulted from the recycling of capital from the sale of other unlisted REITs in early 2007. However, like the entire unlisted REIT industry, we have experienced a recent decrease in the average daily sales of our common stock beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008 as a result of the current economic environment. Reduced sales of our stock and an inability to access debt markets may limit the amount of capital that we have available to take advantage of future acquisition opportunities.

Impact on Tenants’ Operations—Some of our tenants have experienced difficulties or have been unable to obtain working capital lines of credit or renew existing lines of credit due to the current state of the capital markets. This has created working capital shortages for some tenants, particularly during off season months. To partially alleviate this issue, we have modified the leases for certain tenants such that rents are paid on a seasonal schedule with most, if not all, of the rent being paid during the tenant’s seasonally busy period. In some situations, we have or may consider modified lease terms to allow for rent deferrals or reductions for a period of time. In the event that a tenant defaults and vacates our property, applicable tax laws permit us to engage a third-party manager to operate the property on our behalf for a period of up to three years until we can re-lease it. During this period, we would receive operating income from the property, which may be less than the rents that were contractually due under the prior leases. As noted above, we believe we have sufficient cash on hand to offset any adverse effects on our operations that could result from a downturn in our tenants’ businesses in the coming year.

The general downturn in the economy has also adversely affected some of our tenants’ operating performance, most notably, Heritage Golf and EAGLE. Heritage Golf, our tenant at three of our golf properties, defaulted on two of its leases beginning in November 2008 and was removed as the tenant at Weston Hills Country Club and Valencia Country Club effective February 1, 2009.

Table of Contents

EAGLE notified us in June 2008 that it was having working capital shortages and would be unable to pay rent. Its working capital shortages were due primarily to reduced net operating income and cash flows at the 43 golf courses it operates on our behalf and particularly at our private courses which rely on membership sales to generate operating cash flow. Additionally, EAGLE was unable to obtain additional working capital from either its private equity capital partner or a line of credit from a third-party lender due to the current state of the capital markets. As a result, during the second half of 2008 we agreed to forgo unpaid rents totaling $9.3 million. In exchange, EAGLE released to us $11.8 million in cash security deposits held pursuant to our leases. We used the $11.8 million in cash security deposits to offset the $9.3 million in past due rent and, accordingly, recognized the full amount of rental income due under the existing leases during 2008.

After significant analysis and consideration, we determined that it is in our best long-term interests for EAGLE to continue operating these golf courses. Upon receiving lender approval, we intend to amend the terms of our leases with EAGLE to initially reduce base rent. Under the proposed amendment, base rent will increase as property-level gross revenues increase. These amended terms will allow us to potentially recapture the original EAGLE lease rates when market and operating conditions improve. Additionally, we will defer rent for the first six months of 2009 to allow the tenant to build up working capital. Such amounts are scheduled to be paid in the last ten years of the lease term beginning in 2019.

If economic conditions continue to worsen or continue for an extended period of time, other tenants may experience difficulties which would put pressure on their ability to pay the full amount of rent due under their leases. As part of our conservative leasing strategy, we obtain security deposits from all tenants and often cross-default leases for tenants that operate multiple properties which helps discourage them from defaulting. However, we will continue to monitor all of our tenants and work with them to minimize the effect that such conditions could have on our ability to collect rent.

Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources

Common Stock Offering

Our main source of capital is from our common stock offerings. As of December 31, 2008, we had received approximately $2.3 billion (230.4 million shares) in total offering proceeds. The following table summarizes our public offerings as of December 31, 2008 (in thousands). Redemptions are shown under the offering in which the investor originally purchased its shares that were redeemed.

In addition to the shares sold through our public offerings, our Advisor purchased 20,000 shares for $200,000 preceding the commencement of our 1st Offering. In December 2004, 117,706 restricted common shares for $1.2 million were issued to CNL Financial Group, Inc., a company affiliated with our Advisor and wholly owned indirectly by our chairman of the board.

The amount of capital we raised through our public offering in 2008 was approximately $387.0 million, which was significantly less than the $776.9 million we raised in 2007 and approximately $754.0 million we raised in 2006. As discussed above, this decrease was due, in part, to higher than normal sales in 2007 and 2006 which resulted from the recycling of capital from the sale of other unlisted REITs during 2007 and 2006. However, part of the decrease in the average daily sales of our common stock is a result of the current economic environment and increased competition in the unlisted REIT industry. Due to the weakened U.S. economy and the continued uncertainty in the capital markets, we cannot predict the number of shares we will sell or proceeds we will raise through our public offering in the coming year. During the first two months of 2009, we raised an average of $12.3 million per month though our public offering.

Line of Credit

On October 15, 2007, we obtained a $100.0 million syndicated revolving line of credit. In October 2008, we drew $100.0 million to ensure that we have sufficient cash available for future acquisitions and working capital needs. As of March 1, 2009, we had approximately $219.1 million in cash on hand including the funds drawn from our line of credit. The line of credit bears interest at either the lower of: Prime or, 30-day, 60-day or 90-day LIBOR plus 2.0%, matures on October 15, 2010, and is collateralized by a ski property and certain of our attractions and marina properties that have an aggregate carrying value of approximately $232.0 million at December 31, 2008. This maturity may be extended for two years subject to approval from the syndicate of lenders. However, there is no assurance that such extension will be approved. The terms of the line of credit require us to meet certain customary financial covenants and ratios including (a) a maximum leverage ratio not to exceed 65%, (b) a minimum fixed charge ratio of no less than 115%, and (c) a minimum net worth of no less than $750.0 million plus 75% of equity raised since July 1, 2007. We were in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2008.

Borrowings

We have borrowed and intend to continue to borrow money to acquire properties and to pay certain related fees. We have also borrowed, and may continue to borrow, money to pay distributions to stockholders. In

general, we pledge our assets in connection with such borrowings. As discussed above, the availability of debt capital has been significantly restricted in recent months due to the current global economic downturn. The aggregate amount of permanent financing is not expected to exceed 50% of our total assets on an annual basis. Under our articles of incorporation, the maximum amount we may borrow is 300% of our net assets in the absence of a satisfactory showing that a higher level of borrowing is appropriate. In order to borrow an amount in excess of 300% of our net assets, a majority of the independent members of our board of directors must approve the borrowing and the borrowing must be disclosed and explained to stockholders in our first quarterly report after such approval occurs.

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) In connection with the foreclosure on the Mizner property on December 31, 2007, we obtained a loan for approximately $85.4 million. The loan bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 1.72% on the first $57.3 million, 30-day LIBOR plus 1.5% (of which 1.25% is deferred until maturity) on the next $16.7 million and 30-day LIBOR plus 1.5% on the remaining $11.4 million (of which approximately all is deferred until maturity). On January 2, 2008, we entered into an interest rate hedging instrument that swapped the rate on the first $57.3 million of debt to a blended fixed rate of 6.0% per year, and on the next $16.7 million to a blended fixed rate of 5.80% for the term of the loan (of which 1.25% is deferred until maturity). This hedging instrument was designated as a cash flow hedge of interest payments from inception of the hedge.

 

(2) On December 5, 2008, we acquired the Triple Peaks Ski Resorts Portfolio for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $117.6 million (excluding transaction costs), consisting of $80.0 million in cash and seller financing of approximately $37.6 million. The seller financing is collateralized by a first mortgage on the resort properties and requires payment by us of monthly interest-only payments, with all principal due at maturity on December 31, 2011. The outstanding principal of the note bears interest at 9.0% through December 31, 2009, 9.25% through December 31, 2010, and 9.5% through December 31, 2011.

 

(3) On December 12, 2008, we sold our Talega Golf Course property for $22.0 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $4.5 million. At the same time, we paid approximately $2.4 million in loan prepayment fees and paid off the portion of the mortgage loan collaterized by this property of approximately $8.8 million.

The following is a schedule of future principal payments and maturities for all mortgages and other notes payable (in thousands):

   $ 539,187
      

In addition, our $100.0 million revolving line of credit matures in 2010. We have the ability to extend this maturity for two years subject to approval of the syndicate of lenders. The terms of our line of credit require us to meet certain customary financial covenants and ratios. We were in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2008. Our other long term borrowings are not subject to any significant restrictive financial covenants.

Operating Cash Flows

Our net cash flow provided by operating activities was approximately $118.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 which consisted primarily of rental revenues, interest income on mortgages and other notes receivable, distributions from our unconsolidated entities and interest earned on cash balances, offset by payments made for operating expenses (including asset management fees to our advisor). The net cash flow from operating activities was approximately $117.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. We would have expected more of an increase in cash flows from operating activities as a result of the additional properties we acquired in late 2007 and in 2008, however, cash flows were impacted by EAGLE’s financial difficulties as a result of the economic downturn. Approximately $9.3 million in rental payments to us from EAGLE were forgone in 2008 and offset against their security deposit, thus directly reducing our operating cash flows. In addition, due to the reduction in acquisition activity in 2008 in comparison to 2007, we collected significantly less cash security deposits in connection with new leases and received less interest on cash balances as a result of

Table of Contents

reduced yields paid by depository institutions. Lastly, the reduction in net cash flows provided by operating activities was due to an increase in our operating expenses as a result of the increase in our total assets under management. Net cash flow provided by operating activities was approximately $45.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 which consisted primarily of rental revenues, interest income on mortgages and other notes receivable, security deposits from our third-party tenants, distributions from our unconsolidated entities, offset by payments made for operating expenses.

Dispositions and Discontinued Operations

On December 12, 2008, we sold the Talega Golf Course property for $22.0 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $4.5 million. In connection with the disposition, we paid approximately $2.4 million in loan prepayment fees and paid off the portion of our mortgage loan collateralized by the property of approximately $8.8 million. In addition, we terminated our lease on the property with Heritage Golf. In connection with the sale, we received cash in the amount of $12.0 million and a promissory note in the amount of $10.0 million.

Distributions from Unconsolidated Entities

As of December 31, 2008, we had investments in ten properties through unconsolidated entities. We are entitled to receive quarterly cash distributions from our unconsolidated entities. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we declared operating distributions of approximately $13.1 million and $13.5 million, respectively, from the operation of these entities. These distributions are generally received within 45 days after each quarter end. Distributions receivable from our unconsolidated entities as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $2.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the change in distributions declared to us from our unconsolidated entities (in thousands):

FOOTNOTE:

 

(1) The Wolf Partnership has been adversely affected by a regional economic downturn and by greater than expected competitive pressures, including competitor rate cuts and expansion. We expect that cash flows will continue to be affected by these economic and competitive pressures and do not expect to receive any distributions in the near term. We continue to work with our partner and operator to develop strategies that seek to improve the performance of the properties and our returns over the long-term.

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) This property previously served as collateral for one of our mortgage notes receivable. We acquired ownership of the property through a settlement agreement in which we released the borrower of its obligations under the note and paid settlement and transaction costs in exchange for the deed to the property.

 

(2) We acquired the Triple Peaks Ski Resorts Portfolio for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $117.6 million (excluding transaction costs), consisting of $80.0 million in cash and seller financing of approximately $37.6 million. In addition, we assumed a $5.9 million loan in connection with the acquisition of the Traditional Golf Portfolio, which is included in the purchase price above.

Table of Contents

The decrease in the number and magnitude of property acquisitions in 2008 as compared to 2007 and 2006 is a result of lower offering proceeds from our public offering in 2008, the lack of available debt financing at acceptable terms, and the overall slowdown of transaction activity due to uncertainties in the markets and U.S. economy. In 2009 we will likely experience a sustained slowdown in acquisition activity due to the recent market conditions. While 2008 and 2009 will result in a lower than desired acquisition pace due to the economic cycle, we believe that these events may provide us with additional acquisition opportunities, including more attractive pricing, over the next two years as property owners need to refinance or recapitalize their businesses. However, we make no assurances as to when market conditions will improve or whether such acquisition opportunities will be available to us.

Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2008, we invested an additional $116.2 million in capital improvements at existing properties. In October and November 2008, the Wolf Partnership, one of our unconsolidated entities, made capital calls totaling $2.0 million to cover working capital shortfalls. Our share of the capital calls was approximately $1.4 million. See “Events Occurring Subsequent to December 31, 2008” and “Commitments, Contingencies and Contractual Obligations” for additional information about uses of liquidity and capital resources subsequent to December 31, 2008.

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) On December 12, 2008, we sold our Talega Golf Course property to Won & Jay, Inc. (“W&J”) for $22.0 million and terminated our lease on the property with Heritage Golf. In connection with the sale, W&J paid cash of $12.0 million and we issued a $10.0 million mortgage note from W&J for the remainder of the purchase price. The note is collateralized by a first mortgage on the Talega Golf Course property and requires monthly interest only payments with all principal due at maturity. At maturity, W&J has up to two options to extend the maturity date by one year by paying us an extension fee of 1% of the outstanding principal balance of the loan per extension.

 

(2) On November 13, 2008, we made a loan to PARC Management LLC for approximately $584,000 collaterized by personal property equipment. The loan requires monthly interest only payments with principal due at maturity on November 12, 2011 and bears interest at 8.00% through November 12, 2009, 8.25% through November 12, 2010 and 8.50% through November 12, 2011.

Table of Contents
(3) We made a loan to Boyne and its affiliates: Big Sky Resort, LLC, Boyne Properties, Inc., and Summit Hotel, LLC (collectively, the “Borrowers”), collateralized by a first priority lien on certain of the real and personal property assets related to the operation of the Big Sky Resort, a ski resort located in Big Sky, Montana. The loan is further guaranteed by Boyne. The loan requires monthly interest payments only and may be prepaid at any time, with sufficient prior notice, and may be accelerated upon customary events of default.

 

(4) On February 20, 2009, Booth Creek Resort Properties, LLC paid off a portion of its loan (approximately $3.3 million including interest), which was collateralized by one of its ski properties.

 

(5)

The loan is collateralized by a first mortgage on a portion of the land underlying a to-be-built Orvis®-branded lifestyle community in Granby, Colorado. In January 2008, the borrower advised us that it was having financial difficulties and would no longer be able to fund debt service on the loan. The loan was deemed impaired and we ceased recording interest on the loan. On April 2, 2008, we filed a complaint to foreclose on the collateral of the loan. Management believes, based on internal market studies and an external appraisal, that the value of the underlying collateral exceeds the carrying value of the note and, therefore, has not established an allowance for loan losses for this loan. The carrying value of the note is approximately $ 46.0 million including principal, accrued and deferred interest, and additional carrying costs related to the collateral.

 

(6) On February 28, 2006, we made a $16.8 million loan to Plaza Partners, LLC, which was used to purchase the Orlando Grand Plaza Hotel & Suites for conversion to a condominium hotel. On February 28, 2007, the loan matured and the borrower was unable to repay the loan. We acquired ownership of the property through a settlement agreement in which we released the borrower of its obligations under the note and paid settlement and transaction costs in exchange for the deed to the property. The property is currently closed while redevelopment plans are being finalized.

(1) This amount does not include the $40.0 million loan receivable from Shorefox Development, LLC, which is scheduled to mature on March 10, 2009, due to current foreclosure proceedings.

As of December 31, 2008, all of our borrowers with outstanding loans were current on their loan payments to us, with the exception of our $40.0 million loan to Shorefox Development LLC, which is non-performing and currently in foreclosure.

Distributions

We intend to pay distributions to our stockholders on a quarterly basis. The amount of distributions declared to our stockholders will be determined by our board of directors and is dependent upon a number of factors, including expected and actual net cash from operations for the year, our financial condition, a balanced analysis of both current and expected long-term stabilized cash flows from our properties, our objective of continuing to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, economic conditions, other operating trends, capital requirements and avoidance of volatility of distributions. Operating cash flows are expected to be generated from properties, loans and other Permitted Investments acquired or made by us.

We do not pay distributions from proceeds from our common stock offerings. We have historically made, and may continue to make, advances under our revolving line of credit to temporarily fund the payment of distributions at the end of each fiscal quarter.

Table of Contents

The distributions declared and paid during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $128.4 million, $94.1 million and $33.7 million, respectively, and exceeded net income for the corresponding years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 by approximately $91.7 million, $58.5 million and $14.3 million, respectively. Distributions to stockholders may be considered a return of capital to the extent the amount of such distributions exceeds net income calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Accordingly, for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, approximately 71.5%, 62.2% and 42.5%, of the distributions represented a return of capital, if calculated using GAAP net income as the basis. Approximately 59.0%, 42.0% and 28.1% of the distributions for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. No amounts distributed to stockholders are required to be or have been treated as a return of capital for purposes of calculating the stockholders’ return on their invested capital as described in our advisory agreement.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the deficiency was funded with an advance under our revolving line of credit.

On January 27, 2009, our board of directors declared a special distribution of $0.035 per share to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2009. Additionally, we will increase our monthly distribution rate from $0.05125 to $0.0521 per share effective April 1, 2009. The special distribution will be paid on June 30, 2009 along with our quarterly distribution. On an annualized basis the increased rate, excluding the special distribution, would represent a 6.25% return if paid for twelve months based on the current $10.00 per share offering price of our common stock.

Common Stock Redemptions

For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, approximately 3.6 million shares, 663,000 shares and 280,000 shares, respectively, were redeemed at approximately $34.0 million, $6.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, for an average price per share of $9.52, $9.42 and $9.50, respectively.

On March 26, 2008, we amended our articles of incorporation to change our Advisor’s name from CNL Income Company, LLC to CNL Lifestyle Company, LLC. In conjunction with our Advisor’s name change, we amended our articles of incorporation to change our name from CNL Income Properties, Inc. to CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc.

Certain of our directors and officers hold similar positions with CNL Lifestyle Company, LLC, which is both a stockholder and our Advisor, and CNL Securities Corp., which is the managing dealer for our public offerings. Our chairman of the board indirectly owns a controlling interest in CNL Financial Group, Inc. the parent company of our Advisor. These entities receive fees and compensation in connection with our stock offerings and the acquisition, management and sale of our assets. Amounts incurred relating to these transactions were approximately $69.0 million, $117.4 million and $106.8 million, for the years ended December 31, 2008,

2007 and 2006, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $3.9 million and $3.6 million are included in the due to related parties in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. CNL Lifestyle Company, LLC and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of certain expenses and amounts incurred on our behalf in connection with our organization, offering, acquisitions, and operating activities. Reimbursable expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were approximately $11.6 million, $10.1 million and $12.6 million, respectively.

Additionally, pursuant to the advisory agreement, we will not reimburse our Advisor any amount by which total operating expenses paid or incurred by us exceed the greater of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income (the “Expense Cap”). For the expense years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, operating expenses did not exceed the Expense Cap.

We maintain accounts at a bank for which our chairman and vice-chairman serve as directors. We had deposits at that bank of approximately $13.7 million and $1.9 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Consolidation. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions, balances and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, we evaluate our investments in partnerships and joint ventures for consolidation based on the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN46R”), which requires the consolidation of VIEs in which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. If the interest in the entity is determined to not be a VIE under FIN 46R, then the entity is evaluated for consolidation under the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position No. 78-9, “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures,” (“SOP 78-9”), as amended by Emerging Issues Task Force No. 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (“EITF 04-5”).

The application of FIN 46R, SOP 78-9 and EITF 04-5 requires management to make significant estimates and judgments about our and our venture partners’ rights, obligations and economic interests in the related venture entities. For example, under FIN 46R, there are judgments and estimates involved in determining if an entity in which we have made an investment is a VIE and if so, if we are the primary beneficiary. This includes determining the expected future losses of the entity, which involves assumptions of various possibilities of the results of future operations of the entity, assigning a probability to each possibility and using a discount rate to determine the net present value of those future losses. A change in the judgments, assumptions and estimates outlined above could result in consolidating an entity that should not be consolidated or accounting for an investment on the equity method that should in fact be consolidated, the effects of which could be material to our the financial statements.

Investments in unconsolidated entities. The equity method of accounting is applied with respect to investments in entities for which we have determined that consolidation is not appropriate under FIN 46R, SOP 78-9 or EITF 04-05. We recognize equity in earnings from our unconsolidated entities under the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method of accounting due to the capital structure of those entities and the rights and priorities of the partners. The HLBV method differs from other generally accepted accounting methods in which an investing partner recognizes the percentage of a venture’s net income or loss based upon the partner’s percentage of ownership. Under the HLBV method, we must estimate at the balance sheet date what we would receive or be obligated to pay in accordance with the governing agreements if our unconsolidated entities were to liquidate all of their assets, pay their debts and distribute the remaining equity at book value. As a result, we recognize income (equity in earnings) in each reporting period equal to the change in our share of assumed proceeds from the liquidation of the underlying unconsolidated

Table of Contents

entities at depreciated book value. Under this method, in any given period we could be recording more or less income than actual cash distributions received and more or less than we may receive in the event of an actual liquidation.

Allocation of purchase price for acquisition of properties. We allocate the purchase costs of properties to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as provided by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” and No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” For each acquisition, we assess the value of the land, the as-if vacant building, equipment and intangible assets, including in-place lease origination costs, the above or below market lease values and other intangibles based on their estimated fair values. The values determined are based on independent appraisals, discounted cash flow models and our estimates reflecting the facts and circumstances of each acquisition. Initial valuations and allocations are subject to change until our information is finalized, which is no later than 12 months from the acquisition date. Changes in estimates and judgments related to the allocation of purchase price could result in the over or understatement of our various real estate or intangible assets, which may impact depreciation and/or amortization expense and our results from operations.

Leases. Our leases are accounted for under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” (“FAS 13”) and have been accounted for as operating leases. This statement requires management to estimate the economic life of the leased property, the residual value of the leased property and the present value of minimum lease payments to be received from the tenant. Changes in our estimates or assumptions regarding collectability of lease payments, the residual value or economic lives of the leased property could result in a change in accounting for the lease.

Revenue recognition. We recognize revenue in accordance with the guidance contained in Staff Accounting Bulletin, No. 101 and FAS 13. Rental revenue is recorded on the straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Percentage rent that is due contingent upon tenant performance, such as gross revenues, is deferred until the underlying performance thresholds have been reached. The deferred portion of interest on mortgages and other notes receivable is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the corresponding note. Changes in our estimates or assumptions regarding collectability of lease and loan interest payments could result in a change in income recognition and impact our results of operations.

Impairments. We test the recoverability of our directly-owned real estate whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may be impaired. Factors that could trigger an impairment analysis include, among others: (i) significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner of use of our real estate assets or the strategy of our overall business; (iii) a significant increase in competition; (iv) a significant adverse change in legal factors or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, which could affect the value of our real estate assets; or (v) significant negative industry or economic trends. When such factors are present, we assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset and from its eventual disposition, to the carrying amount of the asset. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows, we would recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated fair value.

For investments in unconsolidated entities, management monitors on a continuous basis whether there are any indicators, including the underlying investment property operating performance and general market conditions, that the value of the investments in unconsolidated entities may be impaired. An investment’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment and such difference is deemed to be other-than-temporary pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock.” To the extent an impairment has occurred, the loss would be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the estimated fair value of the investment.

Table of Contents

The estimated fair values of our unconsolidated entities are based upon a discounted cash flow model that includes all estimated cash inflows and outflows over the expected holding period. The discounted cash flow model contains significant judgments and assumptions including discount and capitalization rates and forecasted operating performance of the underlying properties. The capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these models are based upon rates that we believe to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the underlying properties.

Mortgages and other notes receivable. Mortgages and other notes receivable are recorded at the stated principal amounts net of deferred loan origination costs or fees. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the note. An allowance for loan loss is calculated by comparing the carrying value of the note to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. Increases and decreases in the allowance due to changes in the measurement of the impaired loans are included in the provision for loan loss not to exceed the original carrying amount of the loan. Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized as collected. The estimated fair market value of the underlying loan collateral is determined by management using appraisals and internally developed valuation methods. These models are based on a variety of assumptions. Changes in these assumptions could positively or negatively impact the valuation of our impaired loans.

Derivative instruments and hedging activities. We utilize derivative instruments to partially offset the effect of fluctuating interest rates on the cash flows associated with our variable-rate debt. We follow established risk management policies and procedures in our use of derivatives and do not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We record all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. On the date we enter into a derivative contract, the derivative is designated as a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction. The effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recognized in the statement of operations in the periods in which earnings are impacted by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reflected in interest expense in the statement of operations. As of December 31, 2008, the fair value of the hedge liabilities totaled approximately $8.7 million. During the year ended December 31, 2008, our hedges qualified as highly effective and, accordingly, all of the change in value is reflected in other comprehensive income (loss). Determining fair value and testing effectiveness of these financial instruments requires management to make certain estimates and judgments. Changes in assumptions could have a positive or negative impact on the estimated fair values and measured effectiveness of such instruments could in turn impact our results of operations.

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Staff Position (“FSP”) Statement of Financial Account Standards (“FAS”) No. 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities” (“FSP FAS 140-4”). The purpose of this FSP is to improve disclosures by public entities and enterprises until pending amendments to SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” (“SFAS 140”), and FIN 46(R) are finalized and approved by the FASB. The FSP amends SFAS 140 to require public entities to provide additional disclosures about transferors’ continuing involvements with transferred financial assets. It also amends FIN 46(R) to require public enterprises to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with variable interest entities. FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods ending after December 15, 2008. For periods after the initial adoption date, comparative disclosures are required. We have adopted the FSP and FIN 46(R)-8 on December 31, 2008.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3”). FSP FAS 157-3 applies to financial assets subject to the fair value accounting requirements of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair

Table of Contents

Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of FAS 157’s valuation requirements to a financial asset in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining fair value of such financial assets. FSP FAS 157-3 is effective on issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 did not have a significant impact to our current practice nor on our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 133-1 and FASB Interpretation No. 45-4 “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment to FAS No. 133, “Disclosures about Derivative and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 133”) and FASB Interpretation No. 45 “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”), and Clarification of the Effective Date of FAS No. 161 (“FAS 161”) (“FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4”). This FSP amends FAS 133 to require disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives (includes credit derivatives embedded in a hybrid instrument) and also amends FIN 45 to require an additional disclosure about the current status of the payment/performance risk of guarantees. In addition, this FSP clarifies the FASB’s intent about the effective date of FAS 161. The new disclosures are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The implementation of FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 is not expected to have a significant impact on the disclosures regarding our derivative instruments.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 142-3, “Determining the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors to be considered in determining the useful life of intangible assets. Its intent is to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure such asset’s fair value. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP 142-3 is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS 161 (an amendment to FAS 133). This statement calls for all entities to enhance the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities to include (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133, where it requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flow. The adoption of this pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We currently record our hedge on our balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). As such, the adoption of FAS 161 is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which provides a one year deferral of the effective date of FAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. Accordingly, we partially adopted the provisions of FAS 157 with respect to our financial assets and liabilities only effective January 1, 2008. The implementation of FAS 157-2 is not expected to materially change the methods or processes we use to value these assets and liabilities or information disclosed.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, “Non-Controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“FAS 160”). This statement calls for (i) all non-controlling interest to be recognized in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets apart from the parent’s equity, (ii) requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income and (iii) and requires that changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently. The adoption of this pronouncement is effective in fiscal periods on or after December 15, 2008 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Table of Contents

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141 (revised), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141R”). FAS 141R (i) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed, (ii) establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed and (iii) requires entities to disclose to investors and other users additional information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. Additionally, FAS 141R requires an acquiring entity to immediately expense all acquisition costs and fees associated with an acquisition. The application of this pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FAS 141R will have a significant impact on our operating results because of the highly acquisitive nature of our business. Effective January 1, 2009, we will begin expensing immediately, acquisition costs and fees as they are incurred for acquisitions. Additionally, on January 1, 2009, we expensed approximately $5.9 million in acquisition costs for acquisitions that were being pursued in 2008 but which did not close as of December 31, 2008. Historically, acquisition costs and fees have been capitalized and allocated to the cost basis of the assets. As a result, we expect to have an immediate reduction in our net income and funds from operations (“FFO”) from expensing acquisition related costs for acquired properties. Post acquisition, we expect there to be a subsequent positive impact on net income for each property acquired through a reduction in depreciation expense over the estimated life of the properties as a result of acquisition costs and fees no longer being capitalized and depreciated. FAS 141R will also result in a decrease in cash flows from operating activities as a result of expensing acquisition costs and fees. These amounts have historically been included in cash flows from investing activities.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement expands the use of FAS 157 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a significant impact to our current practice nor on our financial position or results of operations.

Rental income from operating leases. The significant increase in rental income for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to December 31, 2007 was principally due to the acquisition of 14 new properties in 2008 and 48 properties acquired during 2007 owned during the entirety of 2008. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the weighted-average base rent rate for our portfolio of leased properties was 9.0% and 9.4%, respectively. These rates are based on annualized straight-lined base rent due under our leases and the weighted average value of our real estate investment properties subject to operating leases. The weighted-average lease rate of our portfolio will fluctuate based on our asset mix and timing of property acquisitions. The following analysis quantifies the total rental income generated from our properties based on the year in which the properties were acquired and leased, and the increases in rental income attributable to those properties on a comparative basis, year over year:

FOOTNOTE:

 

(1) This number does not include the Orlando Grand Plaza Hotel & Suites, which is currently closed while redevelopment plans are being finalized and the Talega Golf course property, which was sold on December 12, 2008 and is included in discontinued operations.

Approximately 25.6 % of the total rental income for the year ended December 31, 2008, or 2.4% of the increase in rental income, was generated from properties that were acquired prior to 2007. The increase in revenue attributable to these properties resulted from greater percentage rent being earned and base rent increases from capital expansion projects in 2008 that increased the lease basis. We acquired 48 properties in 2007 which generated approximately $138.4 million and $71.1 million or 68.2% and 58.8% of total rental income for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These 48 properties accounted for 82.1% of the total increase in rental income year over year. Approximately $12.7 million or 6.2% of total rental income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was derived from properties that were newly acquired during 2008. In addition, on January 1, 2008, Cowboys Golf Club, which was operated through a TRS management agreement, was terminated and we simultaneously entered into a long-term triple-net lease agreement on the property. These accounted for approximately 15.5% of the total increase in rental income for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to December 31, 2007.

Interest income on mortgages and other notes receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we recorded interest income totaling approximately $7.4 million on our 10 performing loans with an aggregate principal balance of $169.7 million. As of December 31, 2008, we had one non-performing loan with a principal balance of $40.0 million for which no interest income was recognized in 2008. Comparatively, for the year ended December 31, 2007, we recorded interest income of approximately $11.0 million, which included interest income of approximately $1.1 million relating to the non-performing loans that were subsequently deemed impaired, were foreclosed, or otherwise satisfied.

(1) During the year ended December 31, 2007, we had two non-performing loans, one of which we foreclosed upon and took ownership of on December 31, 2007 and the other we received title to the collateral property through a settlement agreement on May 28, 2008. In January 2008, one additional borrower ceased making payments on its $40.0 million loan obligation to us, which is classified as non-performing as of December 31, 2008.

Other operating income and expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2008, other operating expenses primarily related to the operation of our apartment complex in Boca Raton, Florida. In 2007, other operating income and expenses was principally attributable to the operations of Cowboys Golf Club which was operated through a TRS under a management agreement with EAGLE. On January 1, 2008, the management agreement was terminated and we simultaneously entered into a long-term triple-net lease agreement on the property which subsequently eliminated the Cowboys Golf Club operating income and expenses.

Asset management fees to Advisor. Asset management fees of 0.08334% of invested assets are paid to the Advisor for the acquisition of real estate assets and making loans. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, asset management fees to our Advisor were approximately $21.9 million and $14.8 million, respectively. The increase in such fees is due to the acquisition of additional real estate properties and loans made during late 2007 and in 2008.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses were approximately $14.3 million and $9.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase is primarily due to an increase in legal fees of approximately $0.6 million and account maintenance fees under a new fee structure charged by our new stock transfer agent, of approximately $3.1 million.

Ground leases and permit fees. Ground lease payments, concession holds and land permit fees are generally based on a percentage of gross revenue of the underlying property over certain thresholds and are paid by the tenants in accordance with the terms of our triple-net leases with those tenants. These expenses have corresponding equivalent revenues included in rental income above. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, ground lease, concession holds and land permit fees were approximately $9.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The increase is attributable to the growth of our property portfolio. As of December 31, 2008, 36 of our properties were subject to ground leases, concession holds or land permit fees, as compared to 28 properties in 2007.

Repairs and maintenance. Repairs and maintenance expense was approximately $3.2 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase is primarily due to repairs and maintenance on existing and new properties acquired. These are expenditures from capital reserve accounts for replacements, repairs and maintenance at our properties, such as periodic repainting of buildings, which do not substantially enhance the properties or increase the estimated useful lives and therefore cannot be capitalized.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were approximately $98.1 million and $63.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of real estate properties in 2007 of which partial depreciation and amortization were recognized as compared to a full year in 2008 coupled with acquisition of additional real estate properties in 2007 and 2008.

Operating income. Operating income was approximately $57.6 million and $34.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase is primarily due to operations during the entire year of 2008 for the 48 properties acquired in 2007 as compared to partial year in 2007 along with the 14 additional real estate properties acquired in 2008. See rental income from operating leases above for additional information.

Interest and other income. The decrease in interest income primarily resulted from the general reduction in treasury rates paid by depository institutions on short-term deposits during 2008 as compared to 2007. We continue to monitor depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents. Our emphasis is primarily on safety of principal and secondarily on maximizing yield on those funds. We have diversified our cash and cash equivalents between several depository institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. During 2008, we received an average yield of 2.4% as compared to an average yield of 4.7% during 2007. Our average uninvested offering proceeds, based on month-end money market balances, was approximately $222.8 million during 2008 as compared to approximately $205.2 million during 2007.

Interest expense and loan cost amortization. The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to December 31, 2007 is attributable to the increase in notes and mortgages payable as a result of acquisitions of properties. As of December 31, 2008, we had loan obligations totaling $539.2 million with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 6.61% as compared to total loan obligations of $355.6 million at December 31, 2007 with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 6.46%. In addition, in October 2008, we drew $100.0 million from our revolving line of credit to ensure we have sufficient cash available for future acquisitions and working capital needs. We paid interest on our line totaling $1.1 million in 2008 as compared to zero in 2007.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities. The following table summarizes equity in earnings (losses) from our unconsolidated entities (in thousands):

 

     For the Year Ended December 31,  
     2008     2007     $ Change     % Change  

Wolf Partnership

   $ (5,773 )   $ (4,779 )   $ (994 )   -21 %

DMC Partnership

     9,480       9,480       —       0 %

Intrawest Venture

     (687 )     (963 )     276     29 %
                          

Total

   $ 3,020     $ 3,738     $ (718 )   -19 %
                          

Equity in earnings is recognized using the HLBV method of accounting due to the preferences we receive upon liquidation, which means we recognize income in each period equal to the change in our share of assumed proceeds from the liquidation of the underlying unconsolidated entities at depreciated book value. Because our equity in earnings is calculated in this manner, we have historically recognized more income than the underlying unconsolidated entities have generated and our partners have historically been allocated losses to offset the amount of earnings that we have recorded over and above the net income generated from the entities. This will continue until our partner’s capital has been reduced to zero, at which point no further losses can be allocated to our partners. Equity in earnings decreased by approximately $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to December 31, 2007, primarily due to an increase in the loss we were allocated from the Wolf Partnership of approximately $1.0 million offset by a decrease in the loss we were allocated by the Intrawest Venture of $0.3 million.

Table of Contents

The HLBV method of recognizing earnings and losses from the unconsolidated entities is not expected to have an impact on the distributions we receive. However, it will likely result in reductions or fluctuations in our net income, earnings per share, FFO and FFO per share. We received cash distributions from our unconsolidated entities of approximately $14.9 million and $12.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Wolf Partnership continues to be affected by the decline in the U.S. economy, a regional economic downturn and competitive pressures at both the Wisconsin Dells and Sandusky, Ohio locations. We continue to work with our partner and operator to develop strategies that seek to improve the performance of the properties and our returns, however, the affects of the economic downturn and competitive pressure is expected to continue to have an impact on our earnings in 2009. Although we continue to recognize losses from our investment in this partnership and have received no cash distributions from the venture in 2007 or 2008, we have the intent and ability to hold this investment until the markets and economy recover. More importantly, the terms of the partnership agreement also entitle us to a preference over our partner so that we receive all distributable cash up to 11% of our unreturned partner’s capital ahead of any distributions to our partner. In addition, we estimated, based on an analysis of expected future discounted cash flows, that the fair value of our investment exceeded our carrying value at December 31, 2008, and thus is not impaired. Some of the key assumptions and judgments used in the analysis include: consideration of competition exiting the Sandusky market, little to no growth in occupancy and room rates in the near term and modest increases thereafter, new marketing strategies and additional operational and cost-saving opportunities.

Discontinued operations. On December 12, 2008, we sold our Talega Golf Course property for $22.0 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $4.5 million. At the same time, we paid approximately $2.4 million in loan prepayment fees and paid off the portion of the mortgage loan collaterized by this property of approximately $8.8 million. In connection with the sale, we terminated our lease on the property with Heritage Golf.

Net income and earnings per share of common stock. Our net income and earnings per share are volatile as we are still in the early stages of operation and are experiencing significant growth. These performance measures are significantly affected by the pace at which we raise offering proceeds and the time it takes to accumulate and invest such proceeds in real estate acquisitions and other income-producing investments. The accumulation of funds over time in order to make large individually significant acquisitions can be dilutive to the earnings per share ratio. The decrease in earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to 2007 was primarily due to (i) a reduction of interest income from a non-performing loan, (ii) a reduction in equity in earnings from the Wolf Partnership and (iii) a reduction in the rates paid by depository institutions on short-term deposits.

Rental income from operating leases. The significant increase in rental income for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to December 31, 2006 was principally due to the acquisition of 48 new properties in 2007 and 39 properties acquired in 2006 that we owned during the entirety of 2007. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the weighted-average base rent rate for our portfolio of leased properties was 9.4% and 9.5%, respectively. These rates are based on annualized straight-lined base rent due under our leases and the weighted average value of our real estate investment properties subject to operating leases. The weighted-average lease rate of our portfolio will fluctuate based on our asset mix and timing of property acquisitions. The following analysis quantifies the total rental income generated from our properties based on the year in which the properties were acquired and leased, and the increases in rental income attributable to those properties on a comparative basis, year over year:

FOOTNOTE:

 

(1) This number does not include the Cowboys Golf Club, which was operated through a TRS as noted in “other operating income and expenses” and the Talega Golf Course property which was sold on December 12, 2008 and is included in discontinued operations.

Approximately 2.9% of the total rental income for the year ended December 31, 2007, or less than 0.1% of the increase in rental income was generated from properties that were acquired prior to 2006. We acquired 39 properties in 2006 which generated approximately $46.4 million and $12.0 million or 38.3% and 77.2% of total rental income for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This represents 32.6% of the total increase in rental income and it is primarily due to partial year of rental income being recognized for 2006 compared to full year in 2007. Approximately $71.1 million or 58.8% of total rental income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was derived from properties that were newly acquired during 2007. This accounted for approximately 67.4% of the total increase in rental income for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to December 31, 2006.

Interest income on mortgages and other notes receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we recorded interest income totaling approximately $11.0 million on our eight performing loans with an aggregate principal balance of $91.2 million. As of December 31, 2007, we had one non-performing loan with a principal balance of $16.8 million which we deemed impaired and ceased the recording of interest income on July 9, 2007. Comparatively, for the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded interest income of approximately $6.2 million, of which all of our loans were considered performing.

(1) During the year ended December 31, 2007, we had two non-performing loans, one of which, we foreclosed upon and took ownership of on December 31, 2007 and the other we received title to the collateral property through a settlement agreement on May 28, 2008.

Other operating income and expenses. The increase in other operating income and expenses was primarily due to our ownership of the Cowboys Golf Club, which was operated through a TRS under a management agreement with EAGLE, for the entire year of 2007 as compared to only a few days in 2006.

Asset management fees to Advisor. Asset management fees of 0.08334% of invested assets are paid to the Advisor for the acquisition of real estate assets and making loans. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 asset management fees to our Advisor were approximately $14.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively. The increase in such fees is due to the acquisition of additional real estate properties and loans made during late 2006 and in 2007.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses were approximately $9.9 million and $5.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the overall increase in our operating activities as a result of the properties we have acquired.

Ground leases and permit fees. Ground lease payments, concession holds and land permit fees are generally based on a percentage of gross revenue of the underlying property over certain thresholds and are paid by the tenants in accordance with the terms of the triple-net leases with those tenants. These expenses have corresponding equivalent revenues included in rental income above. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, ground lease, concession holds and land permit fees were approximately $5.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The increase is attributable to the growth of our property portfolio during 2006 and 2007.

Repairs and Maintenance. Repairs and maintenance expense was approximately $2.0 million and $42,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase is primarily due to repairs and maintenance on existing and new properties acquired. These are expenditures from capital reserve accounts for replacements, repairs and maintenance at our properties, such as periodic repainting of buildings, which do not substantially enhance the properties or increase the estimated useful lives and therefore cannot be capitalized.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were approximately $63.9 million and $8.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of additional real estate properties in 2006 and 2007.

Operating income. Operating income was approximately $34.7 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase is primarily due to additional real estate properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2006. See rental income from operating leases above for additional information.

Interest and other income. The increase in interest income is a result of higher average balance and an increase in the average yield we received on our money market accounts where we temporarily held uninvested offering proceeds prior to using them to acquire real estate. During 2007, we received an average yield of 4.7% as compared to an average yield of 4.2% during 2006. Our average uninvested offering proceeds, based on month-end money market balances, was approximately $205.2 million during 2007 as compared to approximately $165.0 million during 2006.

Interest expense and loan cost amortization. The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to December 31, 2006 is attributable to the increase in notes and mortgages payable as a result of acquisitions of properties. As of December 31, 2007, we had loan obligations totaling $355.6 million with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 6.46%.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities. The following table summarizes equity in earnings (losses) from our unconsolidated entities (in thousands):

   $ (4,779 )   $ (1,970 )   $ (2,809 )   -142.6 %

     9,480       9,059       421     4.6 %

Total

   $ 3,738     $ 11,003     $ (7,265 )   -66.0 %
                          

Equity in earnings is recognized using the HLBV method of accounting which means we recognize income in each period equal to the change in our share of assumed proceeds from the liquidation of the underlying unconsolidated entities at depreciated book value. Because our equity in earnings is calculated in this manner due to the preferences we receive upon liquidation, we have historically recognized more income than the underlying unconsolidated entities have generated and our partners have historically been allocated significant losses which offset the earnings that we have recorded for these entities. Equity in earnings decreased by approximately $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to December 31, 2006, primarily due to an increase in the loss we were allocated from the Wolf Partnership of $2.8 million and a decrease in the income we were allocated by the Intrawest Venture of $4.9 million offset by an increase of $0.4 million from the DMC Partnership.

During 2006, our partners’ unreturned capital in the Intrawest Venture was reduced to zero as a result of the losses they have recognized and the distributions that they have received from this venture. Since the date that this occurred, we have no longer recognized significant amounts of income from this venture and in the future may recognize losses that this entity incurs (on a GAAP basis) which is the primary reason for the reduction in equity in earnings from the Intrawest Venture during 2007 as compared to 2006. Additionally, the operating performance at certain of the Intrawest resorts declined as compared to the operating results in 2006 as a result of rent collection issues for certain tenants at these properties. While this method of recognizing earnings and losses from the unconsolidated entities is not expected to have an impact on the distributions we receive, it will likely result in reductions or fluctuations in our net income, earnings per share, FFO and FFO per share. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we received cash distributions of approximately $12.9 million and $17.0 million, respectively, from our unconsolidated entities.

Discontinued operations. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, results of discontinued operations were approximately $169,000 and $135,000, respectively, relating to the Talega Golf Course property which was sold on December 12, 2008.

Net income and earnings per share of common stock. Our net income and earnings per share are volatile as we are still in the early stages of operation and are experiencing significant growth. These performance measures are significantly affected by the pace at which we raise offering proceeds and the time it takes to accumulate and invest such proceeds in real estate acquisitions and other income-producing investments. The accumulation of funds over time in order to make large individually significant acquisitions can be dilutive to the earnings per share ratio. Additionally, during 2007 we acquired a significant number of properties that have a greater proportion of fixtures and equipment (ski resorts, attractions and marinas) as compared to the properties previously acquired. This results in a shorter weighted average useful life for our portfolio which causes proportionately higher depreciation expense than we have recorded in the past and has a negative impact on net income and earnings per share but does not impact FFO and FFO per share. Additionally, the reduction in equity in earnings from 2006 to 2007 also negatively impacted our net income and earnings per share.

Funds from Operations

We consider FFO to be an indicative measure of operating performance due to the significant effect of depreciation of real estate assets on net income. FFO, based on the revised definition adopted by NAREIT and as used herein, means net income determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation and amortization, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other equity REITs. FFO was developed by NAREIT as a relative measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. However, FFO (i) does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP (which, unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events that enter into the determination of net income), (ii) is not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and (iii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indication of our operating performance, or to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of either liquidity or our ability to make distributions. FFO as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other companies.

Accordingly, we believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the consolidated historical operating results, FFO should be considered in conjunction with our net income and cash flows as reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

FFO per share decreased to $0.71 per share for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to $0.74 in 2007 principally due to a reduction in interest income from loans that became impaired, an increase in losses from the Wolf Partnership and a reduction in rates paid by depository institutions on short-term deposits on a higher amount of uninvested cash.

Table of Contents

FFO per share increased for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $0.64 in 2006 principally due to our ability to invest our offering proceeds in property acquisitions earlier in 2007 as compared to the timing of acquisitions made in 2006. This resulted in a greater proportion of rental income recognized on new acquisitions in 2007 versus 2006. To a lesser extent, the increase was a result of an increase in yield we received on uninvested offering proceeds.

See the section below entitled “Off Balance Sheet and Other Arrangements—Borrowings of Our Unconsolidated Entities” for a description of the borrowings of our unconsolidated entities.

OFF BALANCE SHEET AND OTHER ARRANGEMENTS

We hold interests in unconsolidated entities that impact our results of operations, financial liquidity, and capital expenditures. Our equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 contributed approximately $3.0 million, $3.7 million and $11.0 million, respectively, to our results of operations. The partnership agreements governing the allocation of cash flows from the entities provide for the annual payment of a preferred return on our invested capital and thereafter in accordance with specified residual sharing percentages.

In connection with the loans encumbering properties owned by our unconsolidated entities (described below), if we engage in certain prohibited activities, we could become liable for the obligations of the unconsolidated entities which own the properties for certain enumerated recourse liabilities related to those entities and their properties. In the case of the borrowing for the resort village properties located in Canada, our obligations are such that we could become liable for the entire loan if we triggered a default due to bankruptcy or other similar events.

EVENTS OCCURRING SUBSEQUENT TO DECEMBER 31, 2008

Our board of directors declared monthly distributions of $0.05125 per share to stockholders of record at the close of business on January 1, 2009, February 1, 2009 and March 1, 2009. These distributions are to be paid by March 31, 2009.

Table of Contents

On January 27, 2009, our board of directors declared a special distribution of $0.035 per share to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2009. Additionally, we will increase our monthly distribution rate from $0.05125 to $0.0521 per share effective April 1, 2009. The special distribution will be paid on June 30, 2009 along with our quarterly distribution. On an annualized basis the increased rate, excluding the special distribution, would represent a 6.25% return if paid for twelve months based on the current $10.00 per share offering price of our common stock.

EAGLE notified us in June 2008 that it was having working capital shortages and would be unable to pay rent. Its working capital shortages were due primarily to reduced net operating income and cash flows at the 43 golf courses it operates on our behalf and particularly at our private courses which rely on membership sales to generate operating cash flow. Additionally, EAGLE was unable to obtain additional working capital from either its private equity capital partner or a line of credit from a third-party lender due to the current state of the capital markets. As a result, during the second half of 2008 we agreed to forgo unpaid rents totaling $9.3 million. In exchange, EAGLE released to us $11.8 million in cash security deposits held pursuant to our leases. We used the $11.8 million in cash security deposits to offset the $9.3 million in rent we had forgiven and, accordingly, recognized the full amount of rent due under the existing leases during 2008.

After significant analysis and consideration, we determined that it is in our best long-term interests for EAGLE to continue operating these golf courses. Upon receiving lender approval, we intend to amend the terms of our leases with EAGLE to initially reduce base rent. Under the proposed amendment, base rent will increase as property-level gross revenues increases. These amended terms will allow us to potentially recapture the original EAGLE lease rates when market and operating conditions improve. Additionally, we will defer rent for the first six months of 2009 to allow the tenant to build up working capital. Such amounts are scheduled to be paid in the last ten years of the lease term beginning in 2019.

On January 27, 2009, we acquired Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort in Hancock, Massachusetts from Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort, Inc. for a purchase price of $27.0 million excluding transaction costs. The resort is leased to Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort, LLC under long-term triple-net lease for a term of 40 years with two 10-years renewal options.

In November and December 2008, Heritage Golf defaulted on its Weston Hills Country Club and Valencia Country Club leases by not paying us rent. We have drawn on its security deposit which was sufficient to cover a full twelve months of rent and is expected to offset any potential losses from the properties for the next year. On February 1, 2009, we terminated our leases with Heritage Golf and engaged third-party golf management companies to operate these courses on our behalf. As of that date, we commenced the recording of golf operating revenues and expenses of both country clubs instead of rental income previously recorded. Any taxable income from these courses will be subject to income tax until we re-lease these properties. We anticipate that the properties will be re-leased sometime in the next three taxable years.

On February 13, 2009, the Wolf Partnership, one of our unconsolidated entities, made a capital call of $1.0 million to cover working capital shortfalls. Our share of the capital contribution was approximately $0.7 million.

On February 20, 2009, Booth Creek Resort Properties, LLC paid off a portion of their loan (approximately $3.3 million including interest), which was collateralized by one of its ski properties.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to acquire properties, make loans and other Permitted Investments. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we expect to borrow and lend primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available, and in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. With regard to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.

The following is a schedule of our fixed and variable debt maturities for each of the next five years, and thereafter (in thousands):

 

    Expected Maturities

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) The fair value of our fixed-rate debt was determined using discounted cash flows based on market interest rates as of December 31, 2008. We determined market rates through discussions with our existing lenders pricing our loans with similar terms and current rates and spreads.

 

(2) The amount includes our revolving line of credit of $100.0 million and the Bretton Woods construction line of credit of approximately $22.4 million.

 

(3) The 30-day LIBOR rate was approximately 0.44% at December 31, 2008.

 

(4) On December 31, 2007, we obtained a loan for approximately $85.4 million. The loan bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 1.72% on the first $57.3 million, 30-day LIBOR plus 1.5% (of which 1.25% is deferred until maturity) on the next $16.7 million and 30-day LIBOR plus 1.5% on the remaining $11.4 million (of which approximately all is deferred until maturity). On January 2, 2008, we entered into two interest rate swaps to hedge the variable interest rate. The instruments, which were designated as cash flow hedges of interest payments from their inception, swap the rate on the first $57.3 million of debt to a blended fixed rate of 6.0% per year and on the next $16.7 million to a blended fixed rate of 5.8% for the term of the loan (of which 1.25% is deferred until maturity.) The fair value of these instruments has been recorded as a liability of approximately $8.7 million.

 

(5) The estimated fair value of our variable rate debt was determined using discounted cash flows based on market interest rates as of December 31, 2008. We determined market rates through discussions with our existing lenders pricing our loans with similar terms and current rates and spreads.

Management estimates that a hypothetical one-percentage point increase in the variable interest rates would have resulted in additional interest costs of approximately $0.48 million and $0.03 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This sensitivity analysis contains certain simplifying assumptions, and although it gives an indication of our exposure to changes in interest rates, it is not intended to predict future results and our actual results will likely vary.

Table of Contents

Our fixed rate mortgage notes receivable, which totaled $182.1 million at December 31, 2008, are subject to market risk to the extent that the stated interest rates vary from current market rates for borrowings under similar terms. The estimated fair value of the mortgage notes receivable was approximately $164.9 million at December 31, 2008 and approximated the carrying value at December 31, 2007.

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations as a result of our direct ownership of one property in Canada which is leased to a third-party tenant. The lease payments we receive under the triple-net lease are denominated in Canadian dollars. However, management does not believe this to be a significant risk or that currency fluctuations would result in a significant impact to our overall results of operations.

We are also indirectly exposed to foreign currency risk related to our investment in unconsolidated Canadian entities and interest rate risk from debt at our unconsolidated entities. However, we believe our risk of foreign exchange loss and exposure to credit and interest rate risks are mitigated as a result of our right to receive a preferred return on our investments in our unconsolidated entities. Our preferred returns as stated in the governing venture agreements are denominated in U.S. dollars.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Nature of Business:

CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as CNL Income Properties, Inc., was organized in Maryland on August 11, 2003. The Company operates and has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2004. Various wholly owned subsidiaries have been and will be formed by the Company for the purpose of acquiring and owning direct or indirect interests in real estate. The Company was formed primarily to acquire lifestyle properties in the United States that are generally leased on a long-term (generally five to 20-years, plus multiple renewal options), triple-net basis to either third-party tenant operators that the Company considers to be significant industry leaders. To a lesser extent, the Company also leases properties to taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) tenants and engages independent third-party managers to operate those properties.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company owned 114 lifestyle properties directly and indirectly within the following asset classes: Ski and Mountain Lifestyle, Golf, Attractions and Additional Lifestyle Properties. Ten of these 114 properties are owned through unconsolidated ventures and three are located in Canada. Although these are the asset classes in which the Company has invested and are most likely to invest in the future, it may acquire or invest in any type of property that it believes has the potential to generate long-term revenue. The Company may also make or acquire loans (mortgage, mezzanine and other loans) or other investments pursuant to its articles of incorporation and bylaws (“Permitted Investments”) related to interests in real estate. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had made several loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of approximately $169.7 million. In addition, the Company may invest up to 10% of its assets in businesses that provide services, or are otherwise ancillary, to the types of properties in which it is permitted to invest.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, the Company evaluates its investments in partnerships and joint ventures for consolidation based on the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46R”). If the entity is not considered to be a variable interest entity under FIN 46R, the investment is evaluated for consolidation in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position 78-9 “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures” (“SOP 78-9”) and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (“EITF 04-5”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the extensive use of management estimates.

Allocation of Purchase Price for Acquisition of Properties—The Company allocates the purchase costs of properties to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” and No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” For each acquisition, the Company assesses the value of the land, the as-if vacant buildings, equipment and intangible assets, including in-place lease origination costs, the above or below market lease values and other intangibles based on their estimated fair values. The values determined are based on independent appraisals, discounted cash flow models and the Company’s estimates reflecting the facts and circumstances of each acquisition. Initial valuations and allocations are subject to change until the information is finalized, which is no later than 12 months from the acquisition date.

Acquisition Fees and Costs—For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition costs that were directly identifiable with properties that were potentially being acquired

were capitalized and included in other assets. Upon the purchase of a property, the fees and costs directly identifiable with that property were reclassified to land, building, equipment and lease intangibles or investments in unconsolidated entities in the case of properties acquired in unconsolidated partnerships. In the event a property was not acquired or no longer was expected to be acquired, costs directly related to the property were charged to expense. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company will begin expensing immediately all acquisition fees as a result of the adoption of FAS 141R. See “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” below for additional information.

Real Estate Investment Properties—Real estate properties are generally comprised of land, buildings and improvements, leasehold or permit interests, and equipment and are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method of accounting over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over the lesser of 39 years or the remaining life of the ground lease including renewal options and leasehold and permit interests and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. When the properties or equipment are sold, the related cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and any gain or loss from sale will be reflected in the Company’s results of operations.

The Company tests the recoverability of its directly-owned real estate whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may be impaired. Factors that could trigger an impairment analysis include, among others: (i) significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner of use of the Company’s real estate assets or the strategy of the Company’s overall business; (iii) a significant increase in competition; (iv) a significant adverse change in legal factors or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, which could affect the value of the Company’s real estate assets; or (v) significant negative industry or economic trends. When such factors are present, the Company assesses potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset and from its eventual disposition, to the carrying amount of the asset. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows, the Company would recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated fair value.

Intangible Assets—Amortization of intangible assets, such as in-place leases, are computed using the straight-line method of accounting over the respective lease term. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized and are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis.

Lease Accounting—The Company’s leases are accounted for under the provisions of Statement of Accounting Standards No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” (“FAS 13”) and have been accounted for as operating leases. This statement requires management to estimate the economic life of the leased property, the residual value of the leased property and the present value of minimum lease payments to be received from the tenant.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entities—The equity method of accounting is applied with respect to investments in entities in which the Company has determined that consolidation is not appropriate under FIN 46R, SOP 78-9 or EITF 04-5. The difference between the Company’s carrying amount of its investments in unconsolidated entities and the underlying equity in the net assets of the entities is partly due to acquisition fees and expenses paid to affiliates which have been allocated to the Company’s investment. These amounts are amortized over the estimated useful life of the underlying real estate tangible assets when the properties were acquired. The Company records its equity in earnings of the entities under the hypothetical liquidation at book

value (“HLBV”) method of accounting. Under this method, the Company recognizes income in each period equal to the change in its share of assumed proceeds from the liquidation of the underlying unconsolidated entities at depreciated book value. Under this method, in any given period, the Company could be recording more or less income than actual cash distributions received and more or less than what the Company may receive in the event of an actual liquidation.

Management monitors on a continuous basis whether there are any indicators, including the underlying investment property operating performance and general market conditions, that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities may be impaired. An investment’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment and such difference is deemed to be other-than-temporary pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock.” To the extent an impairment has occurred, the loss would be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the estimated fair value of the investment.

The Company’s estimated fair values of its unconsolidated entities are based upon a discounted cash flow model that includes all estimated cash inflows and outflows over the expected holding period. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these models are based upon rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the underlying properties.

Mortgages and Other Notes Receivable—Mortgages and other notes receivable are recorded at the stated principal amounts net of deferred loan origination costs or fees. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the note and interest is no longer accrued. An allowance for loan loss is calculated by comparing the carrying value of the note to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. Increases and decreases in the allowance due to changes in the measurement of the impaired loans are included in the provision for loan loss not to exceed the original carrying amount of the loan. Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized as collected.

Loan origination and other fees received by the Company in connection with making the loans are recorded as a reduction of the note receivable and amortized into interest income, using the effective interest method, over the term of the loan. The Company records acquisition fees incurred in connection with making the loans as part of the mortgages and other notes receivable balance and amortizes the amounts as a reduction of interest income over the term of the notes.

Cash—Cash consists of demand deposits at commercial banks. The Company also invests in money market funds during the year. As of December 31, 2008, the cash deposits exceeded federally insured amounts. However, the Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts. Management continues to monitor third-party depository institutions that hold the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, primarily with the goal of safety of principal and secondarily on maximizing yield on those funds. To that end, the Company has diversified its cash and cash equivalents between several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. Management has attempted to select institutions that it believes are strong based on an evaluation of their financial stability and exposure to poor performing assets.

Restricted Cash—Certain amounts of cash are restricted to fund capital expenditures for the Company’s real estate investment properties. The Company’s restricted cash balances as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $11.1 million and $6.3 million, respectively.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):

 

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—The Company utilizes derivative instruments to partially offset the effect of fluctuating interest rates on the cash flows associated with its variable-rate debt. The Company follows established risk management policies and procedures in its use of derivatives and does not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company records all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, the derivative is designated as a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction. The effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recognized in the statement of operations in the periods in which earnings are impacted by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reflected in interest expense in the statement of operations. As of December 31, 2008, the fair value of the hedge liabilities totaled approximately $8.7 million and has been included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s hedges qualified as highly effective and, accordingly, all of the change in value is reflected in other comprehensive income (loss).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The estimated fair value of cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates carrying value as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, because of the liquid nature of the assets and relatively short maturities of the obligations. The Company estimates that the fair value of its notes receivable at December 31, 2008 was approximately $164.9 million based on current economic conditions and prevailing market rates and that the carrying value of the notes receivable at December 31, 2007 reasonably approximated fair value based on expected interest rates at that time for notes to similar borrowers with similar terms and maturities. The Company estimates that at December 31, 2008 the fair value of its fixed rate debt was approximately $386.6 million and the fair value of its variable rate debt was approximately $171.5 million based upon the current rates and spreads it would pay to obtain similar borrowings. The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt was estimated to be approximately $260.3 million at December 31, 2007, and the fair value of the variable rate debt approximated the carrying value based on rates and terms the Company had recently obtained for similar borrowings.

Deferred Financing Costs—Financing costs paid in connection with obtaining long-term debt are deferred and amortized over the life of the debt using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization expense was approximately $1.7 million, $0.6 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation—The accounting records for the Company’s one consolidated foreign location, in Vancouver, British Columbia, are maintained in the local currency and translated using the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are reflected in stockholders’ equity as a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition—The Company records revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin, No. 101 (“SAB 101”) and FAS 13. Rental revenue is recorded on the straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Percentage rent that is due contingent upon tenant performance, such as gross revenues, is deferred until the underlying performance thresholds have been reached. The deferred portion of interest on mortgages and other notes receivable is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the corresponding note.

FF&E Reserve Income—The Company’s leases require the tenants to pay certain amounts that are set aside by the Company for future replacements of furniture, fixtures and equipment at the property. These amounts are and will remain the property of the Company during and after the term of the lease. The amounts are recorded as FF&E reserve income at the time that they are earned and are included in rental income from operating leases in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes—The Company believes it has qualified as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and related regulations beginning with the year ended December 31, 2004. As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to federal corporate income taxes provided it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income and meets certain other requirements for qualifying as a REIT. Management believes that the Company was organized and operated in a manner that enables the Company to continue to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state laws, each TRS entity of the Company is subject to taxation of income on the profits and losses from its tenant operations. The Company accounts for federal and state income taxes with respect to its TRS entities using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and respective tax bases and operating losses and tax-credit carry forwards.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Assets Held For Sale and Discontinued Operations—The Company classifies assets as held for sale when management has obtained a firm commitment from a buyer, the sale has been approved by the board of directors, and consummation of the sale is considered probable and expected within one year. The related operations of assets held for sale are reported as discontinued if such operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished both operationally and financially from the ongoing operations, such operations and cash flows will be eliminated from ongoing operations once the disposal occurs, and if the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement subsequent to the sale.

Earnings Per Share—Earnings per share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the weighted average numbers of shares of common stock outstanding, basic and diluted, were approximately 210,192, 159,807, and 62,461, respectively.

Use of Estimates—Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. For example, significant estimates and assumptions are made in connection with the allocation of purchase price and analysis of real estate and loan impairment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications—Certain prior period amounts in the audited consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In addition, the Company has reclassified and included the results from its property sold in 2008 in discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

Segment Information—The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“FAS 131”). FAS 131 requires that a company report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker currently evaluates the Company’s operations from a number of different operational perspectives including but not limited to a property-by-property basis and by tenant and operator. The Company derives all significant revenues from a single reportable operating segment of business, lifestyle real estate ownership. Accordingly, the Company does not report more than one segment; nevertheless, management periodically evaluates whether the Company continues to have one single reportable segment of business.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In December 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) No. 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities” (“FSP FAS 140-4”). The purpose of this FSP is to improve disclosures by public entities and enterprises until pending amendments to SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” (“SFAS 140”), and FIN 46(R) are finalized and approved by the FASB. The FSP amends SFAS 140 to require public entities to provide additional disclosures about transferors’ continuing involvements with transferred financial assets. It also amends FIN 46(R) to require public enterprises to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with variable interest entities. FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods ending after December 15, 2008. For periods after the initial adoption date, comparative disclosures are required. The Company adopted the FSP and FIN 46(R)-8 on December 31, 2008.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3”). FSP FAS 157-3 applies to financial assets subject to the fair value accounting requirements of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of FAS 157’s valuation requirements to a financial asset in a market that is not active and provide an example to illustrate key considerations in determining fair value of such financial assets. FSP FAS 157-3 is effective on issuance, including prior period for which financial statements have not been issued. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 did not have a significant impact to the Company’s current practice or on its financial position or results of operations.

In September 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 133-1 and FASB Interpretation No. 45-4 “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment to FAS No. 133, “Disclosures about Derivative and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 133”) and FASB Interpretation No. 45 “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”), and Clarification of the Effective Date of FAS No. 161 (“FAS 161”) (“FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4”). This FSP amends FAS 133 to require disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives (includes credit derivatives embedded in a hybrid instrument) and also amends FIN 45 to require an additional disclosure about the current status of the payment/performance risk of guarantees. In addition, this FSP clarifies the FASB’s intent about the effective date of FAS 161. The new disclosures are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15,

2008. The implementation of FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s disclosures regarding its derivative instruments.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 142-3, “Determining the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors to be considered in determining the useful life of intangible assets. Its intent is to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure such asset’s fair value. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP 142-3 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS 161 (an amendment to FAS 133). This statement calls for all entities to enhance the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities to include (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133, where it requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flow. The application of this pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company currently records its hedging instruments on its balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). As such, the adoption of FAS 161 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s disclosures regarding its derivative instruments.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which provides a one year deferral of the effective date of FAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. Accordingly, the Company partially adopted the provisions of FAS 157 with respect to its financial assets and liabilities only effective January 1, 2008. The implementation of FAS 157-2 is not expected to materially change the models or processes used to value these assets and liabilities or information disclosed.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, “Non-Controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“FAS 160”). This statement calls for (i) all non-controlling interest to be recognized in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets apart from the parent’s equity, (ii) requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income and (iii) and requires that changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently. The adoption of this pronouncement is effective in fiscal periods on or after December 15, 2008 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141 (revised), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141R”). FAS 141R (i) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed, (ii) establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed and (iii) requires entities to disclose to investors and other users additional information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. Additionally, FAS 141R requires an acquiring entity to immediately expense all acquisition costs and fees associated with an acquisition. The application of this pronouncement is effective in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FAS 141R will have a significant impact on the Company’s operating results because of the highly acquisitive nature of its business. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company will begin expensing immediately, acquisition costs and fees as they are incurred for acquisitions. Additionally, on January 1, 2009, the Company expensed approximately $5.9 million in acquisition costs for acquisitions that were being pursued

in 2008 but which did not close as of December 31, 2008. Historically, acquisition costs and fees have been capitalized and allocated to the cost basis of the assets. As a result, the Company expects to have an immediate reduction in its net income from expensing acquisition related costs for acquired properties. Post acquisition, the Company expects there to be a subsequent positive impact on net income for each property acquired through a reduction in depreciation expense over the estimated life of the properties as a result of acquisition costs and fees no longer being capitalized and depreciated. FAS 141R will also result in a decrease in cash flows from operating activities as a result of expensing acquisition costs and fees. These amounts have historically been included in cash flows from investing activities.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. FAS 159 expands the use of FAS 157 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a significant impact on the Company’s current practice or on its financial position or results of operations.

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) The Company acquired the Triple Peaks Ski Resorts Portfolio for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $117.6 million (excluding transaction costs), consisting of $80.0 million in cash and seller financing of approximately $37.6 million. In connection with acquisition of the Traditional Golf Portfolio, the Company assumed a loan of approximately $5.9 million, which is included in the purchase price.

 

(2) This property previously served as collateral for one of the Company’s mortgage notes receivable. The Company acquired ownership of the property through a settlement agreement in which it released the borrower of its obligations under the note and paid settlement and transaction costs in exchange for a deed for the property.

The following summarizes the allocation of purchase price and transaction costs for the properties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

   $ 1,862,502     $ 1,603,061  
                

For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company had depreciation expense of approximately $96.7 million, $63.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively.

In light of the recent economic downturn and tightening credit markets, the Company has closely monitored tenant and property performance and assessed any potential asset impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated over the estimated holding period, which in the case of the Company’s triple-net leased properties is the future minimum rental payments and eventual proceeds upon disposition at the end of the lease term, to the carrying amount of the assets. The Company also considered qualitative factors in its analysis including the tenant’s ability to pay the contractual rental payments. As of December 31, 2008, based on the analysis performed, none of the Company’s real estate assets were deemed impaired.

5. Operating Leases:

As of December 31, 2008, the Company leased 102 properties under long-term, triple-net leases to third-parties. The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments to be received under the non-cancellable operating leases with third-parties at December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

Total

   $ 3,304,095
      

Under the triple-net leases, the tenants are responsible for paying the Company percentage rent and FF&E reserves. Percentage rent is generally based on a percentage of gross revenue after it exceeds a certain threshold. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, total percentage rent recorded was approximately $3.7 million, $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively. FF&E reserves are generally based on a percentage of gross revenue at the property and totaled approximately $25.5 million, $16.2 million and $1.7 million, for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, tenants are generally responsible for repairs, maintenance, property taxes, utilities, insurance and expenses of ground leases, concession holds or land permits. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the tenants paid approximately $19.3 million, $14.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for property taxes related to properties that the Company owns.

6. Investment in Unconsolidated Entities:

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company owned investments in unconsolidated entities accounted for under the equity method of accounting with carrying values totaling approximately $158.9 million and $169.4 million, respectively. These unconsolidated entities are in the business of owning and leasing real estate and were determined to be variable interest entities in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary in accordance with FIN 46R. The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of any of the variable interest entities in which it is involved based on (i) a quantitative analysis that demonstrated that their partner in each venture has the majority of the exposure to variability of returns and risk of loss due to the preference of cash distributions to the Company ahead of its partners as provided for under the terms of the governing venture agreements, and (ii) an assessment of qualitative factors such as the level of influence that the partners have over the operations of the ventures and underlying real estate assets.

The Company uses the HLBV method of accounting to allocate income and losses between venture partners for its unconsolidated entities. The HLBV method allocates income and loss between venture partners to most appropriately match the distribution of cash from unconsolidated entities whose annual operating cash flows and, in some cases, liquidating cash flows are distributed to the Company and its partners based on preferences and complex waterfall calculations as outlined in the respective partnership agreements. Under the HLBV method of accounting, the Company recognizes income in each period equal to the change in its share of assumed proceeds from the liquidation of the underlying unconsolidated entities at depreciated book value. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized equity in earnings from the entities of approximately $3.0 million, $3.7 million and $11.0 million, respectively.

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s share of partners’ capital was approximately $158.9 million and $169.4 million, respectively and the total difference between carrying amount of investment and the Company’s share of partners’ capital was approximately $12.2 million and $15.2 million, respectively.

 

(2) This amount includes a mezzanine loan made to the Intrawest Venture in connection with two Canadian properties.

The Company’s maximum exposure to loss is primarily limited to the carrying amount of its investment in each of the unconsolidated entities. The unconsolidated entities have debt obligations totaling approximately $275.4 million. If the Company engages in certain prohibited activities there are circumstances which could trigger an obligation on the part of the Company with respect to a portion of this debt. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company contributed approximately $1.4 million to the Wolf Partnership to fund its pro rata share of amounts needed by the Partnership to fund working capital shortfalls at the properties and to fund debt service.

The Wolf Partnership continues to be affected by the decline in the U.S. economy, a regional economic downturn and other competitive pressures. Although the Company has recognized losses from its investment in the partnership and received no cash distributions from the venture in 2007 or 2008, the Company has the intent and ability to hold this investment until the market and economy recovers. In addition, the terms of the partnership agreement entitle the Company to receive all distributable cash up to 11% of its unreturned partner’s capital before its partner receives any distributions. Management estimated, based on an analysis of expected future discounted cash flows, that the fair value of the investment exceeded the carrying value of the investment at December 31, 2008, and thus its investment is not impaired. Some of the key assumptions and judgments used in the analysis include: consideration of competition exiting the market, a range of discount rate assumptions, qualitative factors impacting historical performance and bookings, little to no growth in occupancy and room rates in the near term and modest increases thereafter, new marketing strategies and additional operational and cost-saving opportunities.

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) On December 12, 2008, the Company sold its Talega Golf Course property to Won & Jay, Inc. (“W&J”) for $22.0 million and terminated its lease on the property with Heritage Golf. In connection with the sale, W&J paid cash of $12.0 million and the Company retained a $10.0 million mortgage note from W&J for the remainder of the purchase price. The note is collateralized by a first mortgage on the Talega Golf Course property and requires monthly interest only payments with all principal due at maturity. At maturity, W&J has up to two options to extend the maturity date by one year by paying the Company an extension fee of 1.0% of the outstanding principal balance of the loan per extension.

 

(2) On November 13, 2008, the Company made a loan to PARC Management LLC for approximately $584,000 collaterized by personal property equipment. The loan requires monthly interest only payments with principal due at maturity on November 12, 2011 and bears interest at 8.00% through November 12, 2009, 8.25% through November 12, 2010 and 8.50% through November 12, 2011.

 

(3)

The Company made a loan to Boyne and its affiliates: Big Sky Resort, LLC, Boyne Properties, Inc., and Summit Hotel, LLC (collectively, the “Borrowers”), collateralized by a first priority lien on certain of the real and personal property assets related to the operation of the Big Sky Resort, a ski resort located in Big Sky, Montana. The loan is further guaranteed by Boyne. The loan requires monthly interest payments only and may be prepaid at any time, with sufficient prior notice, and may be accelerated upon customary events

of default. As a condition to the loan, the Borrowers agreed to make improvements to the Big Sky Resort, including the completion of a new maintenance facility and completion of certain environmental remediation. The Borrowers have deposited $5.0 million in escrow as security for and for payment of their obligations to complete such improvements.

 

(4) On February 20, 2009, Booth Creek Resort Properties, LLC paid off a portion of their loan, which was collaterized by one of its ski properties, of approximately $3.3 million including interest.

 

(5)

The loan is collateralized by a first mortgage on a portion of the land underlying a to-be-built Orvis®-branded lifestyle community in Granby, Colorado. In January 2008, the borrower advised the Company that it was having financial difficulties and would no longer be able to fund debt service on the loan. The loan was deemed impaired and the Company ceased recording interest on the loan. On April 2, 2008, the Company filed a complaint to foreclose on the collateral of the loan. Management believes, based on internal market studies and an external appraisal, that the value of the underlying collateral exceeds the carrying value of the note and, therefore, has not established an allowance for loan losses for this loan. The carrying value of the note is approximately $46.0 million including principal, accrued and deferred interest and additional carrying costs related to the collateral. Management will continue to monitor the value of the collateral for the loan and evaluate its alternatives during the remainder of 2009. In the event additional information indicates that the underlying value of collateral no longer exceeds the carrying value of the loan, it may become necessary to record an allowance for loan losses.

 

(6) On February 28, 2006, the Company made a $16.8 million loan to Plaza Partners, LLC, which was used to purchase the Orlando Grand Plaza Hotel & Suites for conversion to a condominium hotel. On February 28, 2007, the loan matured and the borrower was unable to repay the loan. On June 15, 2007, the Company filed a complaint to foreclose on the collateral of the loan and on May 28, 2008, the Company settled with the borrower and took possession of the property. In connection with the settlement, the Company paid $756,000 in settlement and transaction costs and released the borrower of its obligations of $18.5 million, including accrued interest of approximately $1.7 million, in exchange for ownership of the property. The property is currently closed while redevelopment plans are being finalized.

9. Public Offerings and Stockholders’ Equity:

Beginning on April 16, 2004, the Company offered for sale up to $2.0 billion in shares of common stock (200 million shares of common stock at $10.00 per share) (the “1st Offering”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. On June 23, 2004, the Company received aggregate subscription proceeds in excess of the minimum offering amount of $2,500,000 and funds were released from escrow. On March 31, 2006, the 1st Offering was terminated, and on April 4, 2006, the Company commenced a second offering for sale of up to $2.0 billion in common stock (200 million shares of common stock at $10.00 per share) (the “2nd Offering”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The 2nd Offering continued until April 4, 2008 and on April 9, 2008, the Company commenced its third offering for sale of up to $2.0 billion in common stock (200 million shares of common stock at $10.00 per share) (the “3rd Offering”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933, including up to $47.5 million in shares of common stock (five million shares of common stock at $9.50 per share) available for sale under the terms of the Company’s reinvestment plan.

In connection with the 3rd Offering, CNL Securities Corp., the Managing Dealer of the Company’s public offerings, will receive selling commissions of up to 7.0% of gross offering proceeds on all shares sold, a marketing support fee of 3.0% of gross proceeds, and reimbursement of actual expenses incurred up to 0.10% of gross offering proceeds in connection with due diligence of the offerings. A substantial portion of the selling commissions and marketing support fees are reallocated to third-party participating broker dealers. In addition, the Advisor will receive acquisition fees of 3.0% of gross offering proceeds of the offering for services in the selection, purchase, development or construction of real property or equity investments and 3.0% of loan proceeds for services in connection with the incurrence of debt. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had cumulatively raised approximately $2.3 billion (230.4 million shares) in subscription proceeds including approximately $126.4 million (13.3 million shares) received through the Company’s reinvestment plan and incurred stock issuance costs of approximately $246.7 million in connection with the offerings.

9. Public Offerings and Stockholders’ Equity (Continued):

 

Shares owned by the Advisor, the directors, or any of their affiliates are subject to certain voting restrictions. Neither the Advisor, nor the directors, nor any of their affiliates may vote or consent on matters submitted to the stockholders regarding the removal of the Advisor, directors, or any of their affiliates or any transactions between the Company and any of them.

The Company has and will continue to incur costs in connection with the offering and issuance of shares, including filing fees, legal, accounting, printing, selling commissions, marketing support fees, due diligence expense reimbursements and escrow fees, which are deducted from the gross proceeds of the offering. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the total cumulative offering and stock issuance costs incurred were approximately $246.7 million and $209.1 million, respectively.

In accordance with the Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation, the total amount of selling commissions, marketing support fees, due diligence expense reimbursement, and organizational and offering expenses to be paid by the Company may not exceed 13.0% of the aggregate offering proceeds. As of December 31, 2008, there were no offering costs in excess of the 13.0% limitation that had been billed to the Company.

10. Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets:

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, prepaid expenses and other assets primarily consisted of accrued and deferred rental income under operating leases totaling approximately $32.2 million and $15.2 million, respectively, and a certificate of deposit of approximately $10.1 million and $10.2 million, respectively, collateralizing one of the Company’s loans payable. In addition, the balance includes approximately $5.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition costs that were incurred and capitalized. Beginning January 1, 2009, all such acquisition costs and fees will be expensed immediately in accordance with FAS 141R and the $5.9 million balance at December 31, 2008 was expensed on January 1, 2009 in connection with the adoption of the new standard.

11. Fair Value Measurements:

The Company has financial instruments, including two derivative instruments in the form of interest rate swaps and one impaired loan that must be measured and disclosed under the new fair value standard FAS 157, which was adopted effective January 1, 2008. The Company currently does not have any non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

 

   

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be accessed at the measurement date.

 

   

Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

 

   

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

11. Fair Value Measurements (Continued):

 

The Company’s derivative instruments are primarily valued based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, and credit risks), and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described above. The valuation of derivative instruments also includes a credit value adjustment, which is a level 3 input, however, the impact of the assumption is not significant to its overall valuation calculation and therefore the Company considers its derivative instruments to be classified as level 2. The fair value of such instruments was a liability of approximately $8.7 million at December 31, 2008 and is included in “Other liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value at the time the loan is identified as impaired. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral under these loans and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Collateral is generally real estate and/or business assets and its fair value is generally determined based on appraisals, management’s internal evaluations and market studies and may be discounted or adjusted based on historical knowledge, trends, or changes in market conditions from the time of initial valuation. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had one outstanding note receivable that had been deemed impaired. The value of the underlying collateral was determined based on, among other factors, an appraisal discounted to reflect a decline in market conditions, a range of cap rates, and risk adjusted cash flows. Management also considered price per acre, and although there has been no recent comparable sales, management believes the price per acre invested in the collateral property based on the carrying value to be a reasonably conservative amount. As such, no valuation allowance has been established. See Note 7 “Mortgages and Other Notes Receivable” above for additional information.

In accordance with FAS 157, the following table shows the fair value measurements of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities (in thousands):

12. Income Taxes:

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded net current and long-term deferred tax assets related to depreciation differences and net operating losses at its TRS subsidiaries. Because there are no historical earnings and no certainty that such deferred tax assets will be available to offset future tax liabilities, the Company has established a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. The components of the deferred taxes recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2008 and 2007 are as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s TRS subsidiaries had net operating loss carry-forwards for federal and state purposes of approximately $56.8 million and $22.3 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, to offset future taxable income. The estimated net operating loss carry-forwards will expire as follows: $1.9 million expiring in 2026, $20.4 million expiring in 2027 and $34.5 million expiring in 2028. The Company analyzed its material tax positions and determined that it has not taken any uncertain tax positions.

13. Line of Credit:

On October 15, 2007, the Company obtained a $100.0 million syndicated revolving line of credit. In October 2008, the Company drew $100.0 million to ensure that it has sufficient cash available for future acquisitions and working capital needs. The line of credit bears interest at either the lower of: Prime or, 30-day, 60-day or 90-day LIBOR plus 2.0%, matures on October 15, 2010, and is collateralized by a ski property and certain of the Company’s attractions and marina properties that have an aggregate carrying value of approximately $232.0 million at December 31, 2008. This maturity may be extended for two years subject to approval from the syndicate of lenders, however, there is no assurance that such extension will be approved.

In connection with the foreclosure on the Mizner property on December 31, 2007, the Company obtained a loan for approximately $85.4 million. The loan bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 1.72% on the first $57.3 million, 30-day LIBOR plus 1.5% (of which 1.25% is deferred until maturity) on the next $16.7 million and

30-day LIBOR plus 1.5% on the remaining $11.4 million (of which approximately all is deferred until maturity). The loan is collateralized by a 450-unit apartment complex in Boca Raton, Florida and will mature on January 2, 2015. On January 2, 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate hedging instrument that swapped the rate on the first $57.3 million of debt to a blended fixed rate of 6.0% per year, and on the next $16.7 million to a blended fixed rate of 5.80% for the term of the loan (of which 1.25% is deferred until maturity). This hedging instrument was designated as a cash flow hedge of interest payments from inception of the hedge.

 

(2) On December 5, 2008, the Company acquired the Triple Peaks Ski Resorts Portfolio for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $117.6 million (excluding transaction costs), consisting of $80.0 million in cash and seller financing of approximately $37.6 million. The seller financing is collateralized by a first mortgage on the resort properties and requires payment by the Company of monthly interest-only payments, with all principal due at maturity on December 31, 2011. The outstanding principal of the note bears interest at 9.0% through December 31, 2009, 9.25% through December 31, 2010, and 9.5% through December 31, 2011.

 

(3) On December 12, 2008, the Company sold its Talega Golf Course property for $22.0 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $4.5 million. At the same time, the Company paid approximately $2.4 million in loan prepayment fees and paid off the portion of the mortgage loan collaterized by this property of approximately $8.8 million.

17. Distributions:

In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company must, among other things, make distributions each taxable year equal to at least 90% of its REIT taxable income. The Company intends to make regular distributions, and the board of directors currently intends to declare distributions on a monthly basis using the first day of the month as the record date. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company declared and paid distributions of approximately $128.4 million ($0.6150 per share), $94.1 million ($0.6000 per share) and $33.7 million ($0.5622 per share), respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, approximately 41.0%, 58.0% and 71.9% of the distributions paid to the stockholders were considered ordinary income and approximately 59.0%, 42.0% and 28.1% were considered a return of capital for federal income tax purposes, respectively. No amounts distributed to stockholders are required to be or have been treated as a return of capital for purposes of calculating the stockholders’ return on their invested capital as described in the advisory agreement.

18. Concentrations of Risk:

As of and for the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company leases properties to the following tenants of which each individually accounted for 10% or more of total revenues or assets.

 

Tenant

   Number & Type of
Leased Properties
   Percentage
of Total
Revenues
    Percentage
of Total
Assets
 

Booth Creek Ski Holding, Inc. (“Booth”)

   3 Ski & Mountain
Lifestyle Properties
   12.2 %   6.7 %

Boyne USA, Inc. (“Boyne”)

   7 Ski & Mountain
Lifestyle Properties
   19.4 %   9.9 %

Evergreen Alliance Golf Limited, L.P. (“EAGLE”)

   43 Golf Courses    20.6 %   17.1 %

PARC Management, LLC (“PARC”)

   20 Attractions    21.0 %   15.9 %
               
      73.2 %   49.6 %
               

Additionally, the Company has made loans to Booth and Boyne that together generated interest income totaling $3.6 million or 1.7% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008. In 2008, PARC took over leases for 11 of the Company’s family entertainment centers from a former tenant.

The Company’s real estate investment portfolio is geographically diversified with properties in 29 states and Canada. The Company owns ski and mountain lifestyle properties in eight states and Canada with a majority of those properties located in the northeast, California and Canada. The Company’s golf properties are located in 15 states with a majority of those courses located in “Sun Belt” states. The Company’s attractions properties are located in 12 states with a majority located in the southwest.

Failure of any of these tenants to pay contractual lease or interest payments could significantly impact the Company’s results of operations and cash flows from operations which, in turn would impact its ability to pay debt service and make distributions to stockholders.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s investments in real estate when aggregated by purchase price were concentrated in the following asset classes: approximately 31% in ski and mountain lifestyle, 27% in golf, 21% in attractions and 21% in additional lifestyle properties. Adverse events or conditions affecting those asset classes and related industries, such as severe weather conditions or economic downturn, could significantly impact the Company’s ability to generate rental income or cash flows which, in turn would significantly impact its ability to pay debt service and make distributions to stockholders.

19. Commitments and Contingencies:

Pursuant to the purchase agreement entered into in connection with the purchase of Okemo Mountain Resort, one of the properties in the Triple Peaks Ski Resort portfolio, the Company is obligated to pay additional purchase consideration of $14.4 million in the form of a note payable to seller upon receipt of a ground lease extension from the State of Vermont for the underlying land at the resort. The additional purchase price consideration is not to provide compensation for services but is based on the renewal of the ground lease.

The Company has commitments under ground leases, concession holds and land permit fees. Ground lease payments, concession holds and land permit fees are generally based on a percentage of gross revenue of the underlying property over certain thresholds, and are paid by the third-party tenants in accordance with the terms of the triple-net leases with those tenants. These fees and expenses were approximately $9.5 million, $5.8 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and have been reflected as ground lease, concession hold and permit fees with a corresponding increase in rental income from operating leases in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

From time to time the Company may be exposed to litigation arising from operations of its business in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of any litigation that it believes will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

The Company’s board of directors declared distributions of $0.05125 per share to stockholders of record at the close of business on January 1, 2009, February 1, 2009 and March 1, 2009. These distributions are to be paid by March 31, 2009.

On January 27, 2009, the Company’s board of directors declared a special distribution of $0.035 per share to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2009. Additionally, the Company will increase its monthly distribution rate from $0.05125 to $0.0521 per share effective April 1, 2009. The special distribution will be paid on June 30, 2009 along with the Company’s quarterly distribution. On an annualized basis the increased rate, excluding the special distribution, would represent a 6.25% return if paid for twelve months based on the current $10.00 per share offering price of the Company’s common stock.

In June 2008, EAGLE notified the Company that it was having working capital shortages and would be unable to pay the full amount of rent. The working capital shortages were due primarily to reduced net operating income and cash flows at the golf courses, particularly at private courses which rely on membership sales to

21. Subsequent Events (Continued):

 

generate operating cash flow. Additionally, EAGLE was unable to obtain additional working capital from either its private equity capital partner or a line of credit from a third-party lender due to the current state of the capital markets. As a result, during the second half of 2008, the Company agreed to forgo unpaid rents totaling $9.3 million. In exchange, EAGLE released to the Company $11.8 million in cash security deposits held pursuant to its leases. The $11.8 million in cash security deposits were used to offset the $9.3 million in past due rent and, accordingly, the Company recognized the full amount of rent due under the existing leases during 2008.

After significant analysis and consideration, the Company determined that it is in its best long-term interests for EAGLE to continue operating these golf courses. Upon receiving lender approval, the Company intends to amend the terms of its leases with EAGLE to initially reduce base rent. Under the proposed amendment, base rent will increase as property-level gross revenues increases. These amended terms will allow the Company to potentially recapture the original EAGLE lease rates when market and operating conditions improve. Additionally, the Company will defer rent for the first six months of 2009 to allow the tenant to build up working capital. Such amounts are scheduled to be paid in the last ten years of the lease term beginning in 2019.

On February 13, 2009, the Wolf Partnership, one of the Company’s unconsolidated entities, made a capital call of $1.0 million to cover working capital shortfalls and debt service. The Company’s share of the capital contribution was approximately $0.7 million.

On February 20, 2009, Booth Creek Resort Properties, LLC paid off a portion of their loan, which was collateralized by one of its ski properties, of approximately $3.3 million including interest.

On January 27, 2009, the Company acquired Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort in Hancock, Massachusetts from Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort, Inc. for a purchase price of $27.0 million excluding transaction costs. The resort is leased to Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort, LLC under long-term triple-net lease for a term of 40 years with two 10-years renewal options.

In November and December 2008, Heritage Golf defaulted on its Weston Hills Country Club and Valencia Country Club leases by not paying the Company rent. The Company has drawn on its security deposit which was sufficient to cover a full twelve months of rent and is expected to offset any potential losses from the properties for the next year. On February 1, 2009, the Company terminated its leases with Heritage Golf and engaged third-party golf management companies to operate these courses on the Company’s behalf. As of that date, the Company commenced the recording of golf operating revenues and expenses of both country clubs instead of rental income previously recorded. Any taxable income from these courses will be subject to income tax until the Company re-leases these properties. The Company anticipates that the properties will be re-leased sometime in the next three taxable years.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officers, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officers, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on management’s assessment, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in “Internal Control Integrated Framework.”

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the most recent fiscal quarter, there was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined under Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm

To the Partners of

CNL Dallas Market Center, L.P.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in partners’ capital and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CNL Dallas Market Center, L.P. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CNL Dallas Market Center, L.P. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

1. Organization

CNL Dallas Market Center, L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership whose partners are CNL Dallas Market Center GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), CNL DMC, LP (the “CNL LP”) and Dallas Market Center Company, Ltd. (“Crow”). Crow and CNL LP are collectively referred to as the “Limited Partners”. The General Partner and the CNL LP are wholly owned subsidiaries of CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc., formerly known as CNL Income Properties, Inc. and are referred to as the “CNL Partners”. Certain major decisions as defined in the partnership agreement (the “Agreement”) require the approval of the General Partner and Limited Partners.

The Partnership was formed on February 14, 2005 for purposes of owning certain real property located in Dallas, Texas. In a series of formation transactions (referred to as the “Formation Transactions”), Crow transferred its interests in two subsidiary partnerships to the Partnership. The first subsidiary partnership owned the World Trade Center, Dallas Trade Mart and Market Hall buildings as well as leases for the underlying land; limited use rights to the Apparel Mart (which resides on the Dallas Market Center Campus) (collectively referred to as the “World Trade Center” property); and related parking facilities on the property, which had an agreed upon value of approximately $219.9 million. Later, on May 25, 2005, Crow transferred its interest in the second subsidiary partnership, which owned the International Floral and Gift Center (referred to as the “IFGC” property), with an agreed upon value of approximately $30.8 million. With the contributions of the World Trade Center and IFGC, the Partnership assumed approximately $142.3 million and $16.3 million, respectively, in existing debt. In connection with these transfers, the CNL Partners made a series of capital contributions in exchange for their ownership interests, which were immediately distributed to Crow. Additionally, all of the partners paid their share of closing costs in order to complete the transaction.

As a result of the formation transactions, the General Partner and Limited Partners hold the following percentage interests as of December 31, 2008 and 2007:

 

Partner

   Percentage
Interest
 

General Partner

   1.00 %

CNL LP

   79.00 %

Crow

   20.00 %

The World Trade Center consists of 15 floors including the fashion center, showrooms and wholesalers offering gifts and home textiles. The Dallas Trade Mart has five floors encompassing gifts, housewares and lighting. Market Hall is a consumer and tradeshow exhibition hall. The IFGC has two floors and houses permanent showrooms for floral products, holiday decorative products and related accessories. The IFGC serves as the headquarters for the American Floral Industry Association and is home to two annual floral shows, the Holiday and Home Expos. Both properties are leased to an affiliate of Crow under long-term triple-net leases.

Net cash flow, as defined in the Agreement, is to be distributed quarterly to the Partners in accordance with the following order of priority: (i) first, to the General Partner and CNL LP to pay the CNL first tier preferred distribution, as defined in the Agreement; (ii) second, to Crow to pay the Crow first tier preferred distribution, as defined in the Agreement; (iii) third to the Partners pro-rata in proportion to their partnership interests until the sum of the aggregate distributions paid equals the second tier preferred distribution, as defined in the agreement; (iv) fourth, 60% to the General Partner and CNL LP and 40% to Crow until the sum of the aggregate distributions paid equals the third tier preferred distribution, as defined in the agreement and; (v) thereafter 50% to the General Partner and CNL LP and 50% to Crow. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership has net cash flow distributions payable totaling approximately $2.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

 

Net income or loss is allocated between the Partners based on the hypothetical liquidation at book value method (HLBV). Under the HLBV method, net income or loss is allocated between the Partners based on the difference between each Partner’s claim on the net assets of the Partnership at the end and beginning of the period. Each Partner’s share of the net assets of the Partnership is calculated as the amount that the Partner would receive if the Partnership were to liquidate all of its assets at net book value and distribute the resulting cash to creditors and partners in accordance with their respective priorities.

Capital proceeds, including capital proceeds distributed to the partners in winding up the Partnership, are allocated in the same manner as net cash flow with the exception that the first tier preferred distribution for CNL LP and Crow are set at a different rate per the Agreement.

During 2005 and 2006, the Partners made pro-rata capital contributions of $21.3 million to develop a lighting center expansion at the Dallas Market Center. As of December 31, 2006, the Partnership completed its funding to the Trade Mart Expansion and the expansion was leased to an affiliate of Crow as of December 31, 2007.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A summary of significant accounting principles and practices used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements follows:

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The Partnership prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and report amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Partnership include the accounts of CNL Dallas Market Center, LP and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Subsidiaries”). All significant inter-Partnership balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment is stated at cost and includes buildings and tenant improvements. Buildings and improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated on the straight – line method ranging from 39 to 5 years. Tenant improvements are depreciated on the straight – line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life.

Intangible Assets

Intangible lease assets are comprised of in place lease costs and favorable ground leases and are amortized over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases including automatic renewal terms. The remaining lives of the ground leases range from 50 to 60 years and the life of the master leases to Crow are 30 years including automatic renewal periods.

Lease Accounting

The Partnership’s leases are accounted for under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” and have been accounted for as operating leases. This statement requires management to estimate the economic life of the leased property, the residual value of the leased property and the present value of minimum lease payments to be received from the tenant in order to determine the lease classification.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits at commercial banks. Cash accounts maintained on behalf of the Partnership in demand deposits at commercial banks may exceed federally insured levels; however, the Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Partners believe the Partnership is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

The leases require that certain amounts of cash are restricted to fund capital expenditures at the Partnership’s properties and have been included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The reserve accounts are held at CNL Bank, which is an affiliate of the General Partner and CNL LP. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, approximately $1.5 million and $1.4 million was held in these reserve accounts, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Partnership records rental revenue on the straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Percentage rent that is due contingent upon tenant performance levels such as gross revenues is not recognized until the underlying performance thresholds have been reached.

Income Taxes

The Partnership is not subject to federal income taxes. As a result, the earnings or losses for federal income tax purposes are included in the tax returns of the individual partners. Net income or loss for financial statement purposes may differ significantly from taxable income reportable to partners as a result of differences between the tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities and the taxable loss allocation requirements under the Agreement.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates carrying value because of the liquid nature of the assets and short maturities of the obligations. The Partnership believes the fair value of its long-term debt was approximately $123.7 million and $150.0 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, based on the rates it believes it could obtain for similar borrowings.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Partnership’s long-lived assets are tested for impairment annually or

whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Partnership assesses impairment by comparing the carrying value of long-lived assets to future estimated undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the assets and from its eventual disposition. In the event the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership recorded no impairments.

On February 14, 2005, the Partnership entered into a triple-net lease agreement with Dallas Market Center Operating, L.P. a subsidiary of the existing management company, Market Center Management Company, Ltd. (“MCMC”). MCMC is an affiliate of Crow Holdings. On May 25, 2005, the Partnership entered into a lease agreement with IFDC Operating, L.P., also a subsidiary of MCMC. The leases have an initial term of five-years with five automatic five-year renewal periods. Both leases call for the payment of monthly base rental payments and percentage rent to the extent that the annual percentage rent calculation exceeds annual base rent. Percentage rent is calculated as a set percentage of total gross sublease rental revenues as defined in the lease agreements. The amount of annual base rent automatically escalates in accordance with the provisions of the lease agreements. The leases require the tenant to pay property taxes on behalf of the Partnership. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the tenant paid property taxes of $3,301,158, $3,411,770 and $3,488,438, respectively, on behalf of the Partnership.

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) On December 12, 2008, we sold our Talega Golf Course property to Won & Jay, Inc. (“W&J”) for $22.0 million and terminated our lease on the property with Heritage Golf. In connection with the sale, W&J paid cash of $12.0 million and we retained a $10.0 million mortgage note from W&J for the remainder of the purchase price. The note is collateralized by a first mortgage on the Talega Golf Course property and requires monthly interest only payments with all principal due at maturity. At maturity, W&J has up to two options to extend the maturity date by one year by paying us an extension fee of 1% of the outstanding principal balance of the loan per extension.

 

(2) On November 13, 2008, we made a loan to PARC Management LLC for approximately $584,000 collaterized by personal property equipment. The loan requires monthly interest only payments with principal due at maturity on November 12, 2011 and bears interest at 8.00% through November 12, 2009, 8.25% through November 12, 2010 and 8.50% through November 12, 2011.

 

(3) We made a loan to Boyne and its affiliates: Big Sky Resort, LLC, Boyne Properties, Inc., and Summit Hotel, LLC (collectively, the “Borrowers”), collateralized by a first priority lien on certain of the real and personal property assets related to the operation of the Big Sky Resort, a ski resort located in Big Sky, Montana. The loan is further guaranteed by Boyne. The loan requires monthly interest payments only and may be prepaid at any time, with sufficient prior notice, and may be accelerated upon customary events of default. As a condition to the loan, the Borrowers agreed to make improvements to the Big Sky Resort, including the completion of a new maintenance facility and completion of certain environmental remediation. The Borrowers have deposited $5.0 million in escrow as security for and for payment of their obligations to complete such improvements.

(4) On February 20, 2009, Booth Creek Resort Properties, LLC paid off a portion of their loan, which was collateralized by one of its ski properties, of approximately $3.3 million including interest.

 

(5)

The loan is collateralized by a first mortgage on a portion of the land underlying a to-be-built Orvis®-branded lifestyle community in Granby, Colorado. In January 2008, the borrower advised us that it was having financial difficulties and would no longer be able to fund debt service on the loan. The loan was deemed impaired and we ceased recording interest on the loan. On April 2, 2008, we filed a complaint to foreclose on the collateral of the loan. Management believes, based on internal market studies and an appraisal, that the value of the underlying collateral exceeds the balance of principal as well as accrued and deferred interest and, therefore, has not established an allowance for loan losses for this loan. We will continue to monitor the value of the collateral for the loan and evaluate our alternatives during the remainder of 2009. In the event additional information indicates changes in the underlying value of the collateral, we may record an allowance for loan losses.

 

(6) The aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes is $182.1 million.
