2.	Significant Accounting Policies

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies are as follows:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Escrowed Cash

All short-term highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the United States. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) covers $250,000 for substantially all depository accounts. The Company from time to time may have amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had cash balances of approximately $ 888,000 which exceeded these insured limits.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. GAAP describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

There were no assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis on December 31, 2013 or 2012.

The fair value of all of the Company’s other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature or market rates of interest associated with long-term obligations.

Accounts Receivable

Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from direct billings to companies who hold conferences or large group stays at the resort. Other receivables include quarterly membership fees and credit card charges. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding specific customers, historical trends and other information. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable, although advance deposits may be required in certain circumstances.

Resort Inventory and Supplies

Inventory includes operating materials and supplies, principally food and beverage, golf and tennis merchandise, and is accounted for at the lower of first-in, first-out, average cost or market.

Property, Buildings and Equipment

Property, buildings and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets on a straight-line basis.

Certain expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When property, buildings and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed, the cost of the assets and related accumulated depreciation amounts are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in operations.

Asset Impairments

The Company’s management periodically evaluates whether there has been a permanent impairment of long-lived assets (property, buildings and equipment), in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s management evaluated assets for impairment and concluded that the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows (excluding interest charges) from its assets exceeded their then current carrying values. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize an impairment loss during the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.

Deferred Charges

Deferred charges represents costs incurred in connection with the refinancing of the Company’s long-term debt. Amortization expense for deferred charges amounted to approximately $18,000 and $11,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Deferred charges of approximately $3,000 are expected to be amortized in 2014.

Deferred Income

Deferred income includes deferred liabilities related to the sale of gift certificates, prepaid dues, and deferred income of membership initiation fees. Revenue from gift certificates is recorded when the certificate is redeemed. Revenue from dues is recorded over the annual membership period, and the deferred membership initiation fees are recognized over the historical average life of a membership which approximates 12 years.

Resort Revenues

Resort revenues are recognized as services are performed or products are delivered with the exception of initiation fee revenue, which is recognized over the average life of the memberships. Resort revenues also include rental revenues for condominium units owned by third parties participating in the Rental Pool. If these rental units were owned by the Company, normal costs associated with ownership such as depreciation, real estate taxes, unit maintenance and other costs would have been incurred. Instead, operating costs of the resort for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 include rental pool distributions to participants and the maintenance escrow fund approximating $2,400,000 and $3,000,000, respectively.

Advertising

The Company charges costs of advertising to sales and marketing as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs of approximately $231,000 and $299,000 during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company is currently a Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary. Accordingly, no income tax expense was reflected in the Company’s operating results as the tax is assessed to the shareholders of its parent company.

Management has determined that the Company had no uncertain income tax positions that could have a significant effect on the financial statements at December 31, 2013 or 2012. The parent company’s federal income tax returns for 2010, 2011 and 2012 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally for a period of three years after the federal income tax returns were filed.

Employee Benefit Plan

The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan (the “Plan”), which provides retirement benefits for all eligible employees who have elected to participate. Employees must fulfill a one year service requirement to be eligible. The Company indefinitely suspended matching contributions effective with the year ended December 31, 2009 and has continued the suspension through 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on our accounting and reporting. We believe that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on our accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.
