NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. For further information, refer to the audited Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Golden Bear Golf, Inc.'s (the
"Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1997, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The results of operations and cash flows for the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
or cash flows which may be reported for the remainder of fiscal 1998.
In order to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented,
certain amounts have been reclassified from the previously reported financial
statements in order to conform with the financial statement presentation of the
current period. As part of an organizational restructuring, the operations and
financial activity associated with the Company's former Golf and Marketing
Divisions have been consolidated into a new Consumer Division. In addition, the
Company sold its golf centers operations pursuant to a stock sale that closed
subsequent to June 30, 1998. See Note 7. Accordingly, the Company's golf centers
operations have been reclassified in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements to reflect discontinued operations.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes". Accordingly, deferred income taxes have been
provided to show the effect of temporary differences between the tax basis of
assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements.
The Company files a consolidated Federal income tax return which includes the
operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. Prior to the reorganization of
the Company on August 1, 1996, the respective entities comprising the current
Company were S Corporations for Federal income tax reporting purposes, and
therefore not subject to Federal income taxes.
A valuation allowance was established for the Company's net deferred income tax
assets as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 as management believes the
future realization of such deferred tax assets is not more likely than not.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Effective December 15, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
per Share," which among other changes, requires that basic earnings per share be
computed without regard to any outstanding common equivalent shares. Earnings
per share in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations is
computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average common shares
outstanding for the respective periods presented. Diluted earnings per share as
computed under SFAS No. 128 includes the effects of common stock equivalents,
including the dilutive effect of all outstanding stock options using the
treasury stock method. Diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings
6
<PAGE>
per share in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations.
Options to purchase 565,725 and 380,538 shares of common stock were not included
in computing earnings per share for the periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, because their effects were anti-dilutive for the respective
periods.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Required for 1998 financial statements, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" which establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. This statement requires that an enterprise (i) classify
items of other comprehensive income by their nature in financial statements and
(ii) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately
from retained deficit and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of
the balance sheets. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity
during the financial reporting period of a business enterprise resulting from
non-owner sources. During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998
and 1997, the Company did not have any changes in its equity resulting from such
non-owner sources, and accordingly, comprehensive income as set forth by SFAS
No. 130 was equal to the net loss amounts presented for the respective periods
in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations.
SEGMENT REPORTING
Pursuant to the requirements of SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" which is required to be adopted in fiscal
1998, a public business enterprise must report financial and other descriptive
information about its reportable operating segments. Required disclosures
include, among other things, a measure of segment profit or loss, certain
specific revenue and expense items, and segment assets. Information with respect
to the Company's two reportable segments, comprised of the Consumer Division and
Construction Division, is included herein in Note 8.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS
133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. The accounting for changes in fair value depends on the intended
use of the derivative and the resulting designation. This statement is effective
for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The
Company believes the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material effect on
the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
2. COSTS AND ESTIMATED EARNINGS ON UNCOMPLETED CONTRACTS

============= ==============
</TABLE>
(1) The Company acquired certain construction equipment, computer equipment,
office furniture and phone systems equipment by entering into financing
arrangements that were accounted for as capital leases. Included in such
capital lease obligations are additions during the six months ended June
30, 1998 of approximately $1.1 million to finance the acquisition of
certain construction equipment. These capital lease obligations have terms
of up to five years and require monthly payments representing principal and
interest at rates ranging from 8.5% to 12.7%.
(2) In September 1997, the Company entered into a definitive credit agreement
with a bank for a $10 million revolving credit facility that has a term of
two years. Outstanding borrowings, which bear interest at the prime rate
payable quarterly, are secured by Company assets excluding various golf
center properties and certain other assets pledged to secure other
long-term debt. All amounts outstanding under this credit facility were
repaid in full in July 1998, and the credit facility was terminated.
Accordingly, all amounts related to the revolving credit facility are
classified as current in the accompanying June 30, 1998 and December 31,
1997 balance sheets.
8
<PAGE>
(3) On February 27, 1998, the Company entered into a second definitive credit
agreement with the financial institution that previously in September 1997
had provided the $10 million revolving credit facility to the Company. The
new credit facility provided for additional short-term borrowings of up to
$5 million to be used to finance the working capital requirements of the
Company's wholly-owned construction subsidiary, Paragon Construction
International, Inc. ("Paragon"). All amounts outstanding under this credit
facility were repaid in full in July 1998, and the credit facility was
terminated. Accordingly, all amounts related to the credit facility are
classified as a current liability in the accompanying June 30, 1998 balance
sheet.
(4) The Company financed the purchase of certain construction equipment and
vehicles by issuing notes payable secured by the assets purchased. Such
notes payable have terms of up to five years and require monthly payments
representing principal and interest at rates ranging from 8 3/4% to 10
3/4%.
4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
CLAIMS AND ASSESSMENTS
In August 1995, Paragon brought an arbitration claim against a customer for
breach of contract. Paragon alleges it has properly completed the construction
relating to the renovation of the customer's golf course and is seeking final
payment of retainage and related amounts due, together with additional damages,
totaling approximately $350,000. Simultaneous to this claim of arbitration, the
customer filed a counterclaim of arbitration against Paragon for alleged
construction defects in the renovation of its golf course. Although the customer
recently claimed its damages were in excess of $1.2 million, the initial claim
submitted by the customer in arbitration was for $750,000. The ultimate outcome
of this matter is not determinable at this time; accordingly, no provision for
loss regarding this matter had been established at June 30, 1998.
Paragon's construction contracts generally provide for warranties that obligate
Paragon to remedy certain construction defects that may arise in the ordinary
course of providing such construction services. Such warranties, which are
customary in the construction industry are usually effective for a period of one
year from the completion date of the respective projects. The Company's
management does not expect the costs associated with corrective action or
penalties incurred pursuant to these warranties, if any, to have a material
impact on its results of operations.
On July 28, 1998, individuals purporting to be shareholders of the Company filed
a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Florida. The lawsuit was filed by the plaintiff individually and on
behalf of all others who purchased common stock of the Company from August 1,
1996 through July 24, 1998, excluding defendants and certain other related
persons or entities, against the Company and certain of the Company's officers
and directors. The complaint alleges that during the purported class period, the
Company violated applicable sections of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by
making misrepresentations or omissions of material fact in publicly filed
documents and in other alleged public statements relating to the Company's
financial condition and that of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Paragon
Construction International, Inc. The plaintiff is seeking an unspecified amount
of damages, interest, costs and attorneys' fees. Since the filing of this
matter, seven additional lawsuits have been filed against the Company and
certain of its present and former officers and directors. Six of these lawsuits
were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New
York. The allegations in these additional lawsuits are essentially the same as
those contained in the initial lawsuit and two lawsuits have asserted claims
under the Securities Act of 1933.
The Company intends to vigorously defend each of the foregoing lawsuits, but
their respective outcomes cannot be predicted. Any of such lawsuits, if
determined adversely to the Company, could have a material adverse effect of the
Company's financial position and results of operations. The Company's ultimate
liability with respect to any of the foregoing proceedings is not presently
determinable.
9
<PAGE>
The Securities and Exchange Commission is conducting a private investigation to
determine whether the Company or certain of its current or former officers,
director and employees have engaged in conduct in violation of certain
provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations
thereunder. The Company believes that such investigation is focused principally
on the recognition of additional costs and losses associated with the review of
Paragon's construction projects and the Company's public statements and
accounting systems with respect thereto. The Company is cooperating in such
investigation.
ACCUMULATED DEFICIT AND LIQUIDITY
The Company has incurred operating losses from continuing operations which has
resulted in an accumulated deficit of approximately $44.2 million and a working
capital deficiency of approximately $29.4 million at June 30, 1998. The Company
incurred a net loss of approximately $17,000,000 (unaudited) for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and expects such losses to continue during the remainder of
fiscal 1998. Management's plans in regard to these matters include obtaining
funds from the sale of Golden Bear Golf Centers, Inc. to an unrelated party (See
Note 7), as well as reducing on-going expenses at Paragon. In connection with
Paragon, the Company is negotiating with certain project owners, as well as
construction vendors and subcontractors, to expedite the completion of those
projects and to minimize the cost associated with such completion.
Future working capital requirements are dependent on the Company's ability to
complete the sale of Golden Bear Golf Centers which closed on July 21, 1998, to
successfully complete negotiations regarding Paragon as discussed in the
preceding paragraph and to achieve and maintain profitable operations in the
future. Although there can be no assurances, management believes the Company
will be successful in realizing these objectives, and, accordingly, will
generate sufficient cash flow from operations to rectify the Company's current
working capital deficiency and to meet future working capital requirements. To
the extent that capital requirements exceed available capital or the Company is
unable to successfully complete negotiations regarding Paragon, the Company will
need to seek alternative sources of financing to fund its operations. The
Company has no existing credit facility and no assurance can be given that
alternative financing will be available, if at all, in a timely manner, on
favorable terms. If the Company is unable to obtain satisfactory alternative
financing, the Company may be required to delay or reduce its proposed
expenditures or sell additional assets in order to meet its future obligations.
5. OPERATIONS OF JNAI
The apparel licensing activities of the Company in the Far East are conducted
through Jack Nicklaus Apparel International ("JNAI") and its various
partnerships. The Company serves as a 50% general partner and is generally
entitled to receive 50% of the cash distributions of the various partnerships'
operations. The Company's investment in JNAI is recorded on the equity method.
The following is a condensed summary of the operating results of JNAI:

6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Pursuant to a design services marketing agreement, the Company marketed golf
course designs worldwide for Nicklaus Design, the golf course design division of
Golden Bear International, Inc. ("International"), a privately owned company
controlled by Jack Nicklaus. As part of an organizational restructuring to
refocus on its core businesses, the Company terminated the design services
marketing agreement effective January 1, 1998. Concurrent with the termination
of the design services agreement, International assumed certain financial
obligations of the Company to employees and third parties formerly involved in
the design marketing function, and the Company obtained a ten year exclusive
commitment from International to continue the marketing of Paragon's golf course
construction services to Nicklaus Design clients and prospects. The arrangement
between the parties will permit Paragon to utilize the services of Nicklaus
Design's sales staff as needed on an independent contract basis and Paragon has
agreed to pay International a commission equal to five percent of the projected
gross profit margin negotiated by Paragon in golf course construction contracts
procured by Nicklaus Design. The Company and Paragon will also be entitled to
receive finder's fees from International for business leads generated by them
which result in definitive golf course contracts for Nicklaus Design.
Under the previous design services marketing agreement, the Company generally
had been entitled to 10% of the gross design fees collected by Nicklaus Design
for its role in marketing such design services. At December 31, 1997, the
Company had a net receivable balance due from International in the amount of
$184,502, substantially all of which was comprised of commissions payable under
the former design services marketing agreement. The Company had earned
commissions in this capacity of $752,997 during the six months ended June 30,
1997.
Pursuant to the terms of a personal services management agreement, International
and Mr. Nicklaus have retained the Company as the exclusive manager and
representative to market the personal endorsement services of Mr. Nicklaus,
pursuant to which the Company is generally entitled to approximately 20% to 30%
of the personal endorsement fees received by Mr. Nicklaus. During the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company earned management fees attributable to
providing such services of $120,583 and $282,500, respectively.
The Company has an office staff sharing agreement with International which
provides for the sharing of the services of certain specifically identified
office staff and personnel that can effectively serve the needs of both
organizations. During the first six months of fiscal 1998 and 1997, payroll and
related costs associated with such shared employees totaling $55,500 and
$290,400, respectively, were allocated to International. The Company also
previously subleased its corporate office facilities from International through
July 31, 1997. The rent expense incurred under such sublease for the first six
months of fiscal 1997 was $305,655. Effective August 1, 1997, the Company
entered into a separate lease agreement for its corporate office facilities
directly with the owner of such facilities. In addition, the Company had
maintained certain office space in Singapore through October 31, 1997 that was
shared with International. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, a total of
$164,000 of costs associated with maintaining such facilities was allocated to
International. Effective November 1, 1997, the Company relocated its office
facilities in Singapore and entered into a lease for its new facilities that are
no longer shared with International. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had a net
balance due from International of $85,594, comprised primarily of billings for
certain golf course maintenance consulting services provided on behalf of
Paragon.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company purchases golf equipment
manufactured by Nicklaus Golf Equipment Company, L.C., a privately owned company
in which Mr. Nicklaus has a 50% equity interest. Such equipment is purchased
primarily for resale in the pro shops of the Company's golf centers and for
promotional programs associated with the Company's Nicklaus Flick Golf Schools.
During the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company purchased such
golf equipment at a cost of $130,800 and $11,956, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 1998 the Company paid Executive Sports
International, a privately held company owned in part by a member of the
Nicklaus family, $75,847 for certain printing and graphics services.

7. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On July 20, 1998, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding stock of
its Golden Bear Golf Centers, Inc. ("Golf Centers") subsidiary to an unrelated
party for $32 million less the outstanding balance of any capital lease
obligations and purchase money indebtedness remaining in connection with the
Company's initial purchase of the Company's golf center facilities. The purchase
price approximates the book value of the Company's investment in Golf Centers
and the Company does not expect to incur any significant gain or loss on the
sale. Golf Centers was incorporated in December 1992 to offer franchise
opportunities for the operation of golf instruction and practice facilities that
consist of practice stations and the teaching techniques developed by Jack
Nicklaus, Jim Flick and the International staff. In connection with the
franchise program, Golf Centers entered into various agreements with franchisees
including, but not limited to, development and license agreements which provided
for the establishment and operation of golf centers and use of various
trademarks, trade names and associated logos and symbols. In addition, Golf
Centers also owned and operated its own golf instruction and practice facilities
at numerous locations in several states.
Prior to the closing of the sale, Golf Centers distributed certain assets and
liabilities to the Company. The Company has classified the amounts related to
Golf Centers as discontinued operations and has included its results of
operations as "Loss from discontinued operations" in the accompanying
consolidated condensed statements of operations. The loss from operations of
Golf Centers were as follows for each of the periods presented:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
As part of an organizational restructuring to refocus on its core businesses,
the operations and financial activity associated with the Company's former Golf
and Marketing Divisions have been consolidated into a new Consumer Division.
Accordingly, the Company now operates its business through two divisions
comprised of the Consumer Division and the Construction Division. The Consumer
Division is involved in the licensing and franchising of NICKLAUS, JACK NICKLAUS
and GOLDEN BEAR branded products throughout the world, the operation of the
NICKLAUS FLICK GOLF SCHOOLS and the generation of marketing fees related to Jack
Nicklaus' personal endorsements. The Construction Division provides technical
construction services principally in connection with the construction and
renovation of golf courses and resort-related facilities.
Under the terms of a design services marketing agreement, the Company had
marketed golf course designs worldwide for Nicklaus Design. However, as part of
its organizational restructuring, the Company terminated the design services
marketing agreement effective January 1, 1998 and entered into a ten year
exclusive commitment with International to market Paragon's golf course
construction services to Nicklaus Design clients and prospects. The arrangement
between the parties will permit Paragon to utilize the services of Nicklaus
Design's sales staff as needed on an independent contract basis and Paragon will
be compensated by Nicklaus Design for any design leads generated through
Paragon's activities.
In connection with the departure of certain members of Paragon's senior
management during 1998, the Company conducted a comprehensive review of
Paragon's construction projects, focusing on the status of the projects, the
costs required to fully complete the jobs and the anticipated profitability or
losses of such projects. Attention was also directed toward determining contract
requirements, including known and unknown amendments and change orders, and the
related estimated anticipated costs of fulfilling those requirements. In the
review, the Company found evidence that former management of Paragon falsified
records, underbid construction projects, misrepresented the status of
construction projects and made false statements about Paragon's revenues, costs
and profits to the Company's executive management and Board of Directors. Based
on the results of the review, it was necessary to recognize costs and losses
associated with certain projects based on cost estimates related to uncompleted
contracts. In connection with the review, the Company recorded construction
contract loss reserves of $6,063,127 and $6,755,654 as of June 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, respectively.
As a result of the aforementioned review and restatement, numerous purported
class action lawsuits have been filed against the Company and certain current
and former officers and directors of the Company, asserting various claims under
the federal securities laws. While it is not feasible to predict or determine
the outcome of these proceedings or to estimate the amounts or potential range
of loss with respect to these matters, management believes that an adverse
outcome with respect to such proceedings could have a material impact on the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.
The Company has taken steps to stabilize Paragon's operations and to reduce
on-going expenses at Paragon. The Company has closed its offices in Atlanta,
Phoenix and in Manila, Philippines, and has reduced its field and corporate
personnel. The Company intends to continue to be involved in golf course
construction on some basis and is presently in discussions with a third party to
explore a range of alternatives.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is conducting a private investigation to
determine whether the Company or certain of its current or former officers,
director and employees have engaged in conduct in violation of certain
provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations
thereunder. The Company believes that such investigation is focused principally
on the recognition of additional costs and losses associated with the review of
Paragon's construction projects and the Company's public statements and
accounting systems with respect thereto. The Company is cooperating in such
investigation.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On July 20, 1998, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding stock of
it's Golden Bear Golf Centers, Inc. ("Golf Centers") subsidiary to an unrelated
party for approximately $32 million less the outstanding balance of any capital
lease obligations and purchase money indebtedness remaining in connection with
the Company's initial purchase of the Company's golf center facilities. Golf
Centers was incorporated in December 1992 to offer franchise opportunities for
the operation of golf instruction and practice facilities that consist of
practice stations and the teaching techniques developed by Jack Nicklaus, Jim
Flick and the International staff. In connection with the franchise program,
Golf Centers entered into various agreements with franchisees including, but not
limited to, development and license agreements which provided for the
establishment and operation of golf centers and use of various trademarks, trade
names and associated logos and symbols. In addition, Golf Centers also owned and
operated its own golf instruction and practice facilities at numerous locations
in several states.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
For the three months ended June 30, 1998, total revenues increased to $21.9
million, up 28.8% compared to revenues of $17.0 million for the comparable
period of 1997.
The $4.9 million increase in total revenues during the current quarterly period
was principally the result of an increase in Construction Division revenues to
$18.6 million from $12.9 million for the second quarter of last year. The low
volume of construction business for the second quarter of last year was the
result of management's decision to curtail such activities pending the
implementation of new systems and the integration of new management. Revenues
attributable to the Consumer Division decreased to $3.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998, reflecting a 19.5% decrease from the comparable
period of the prior year. Such decrease in Consumer Division revenues was due to
a reduction in earnings from the Company's partnership interest in JNAI in the
Far East as well as a reduction in related party commissions and fees.
The Company incurred an operating loss of $6.5 million and an operating income
of $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The decrease in the operating loss incurred for the current
quarterly period was primarily attributable to the gross profit deficit of $2.3
million contributed by the Construction Division, in contrast to a gross profit
of $1.0 million incurred on the reduced volume of revenues for the comparable
period of the prior year. The increase in the gross profit contribution was
offset in part, by a 79.7% increase in operating expenses which resulted from
the expanded level of operations in the majority of the Company's businesses.
The operating loss incurred for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was also
impacted by an increase in the amount of depreciation and amortization expense,
which increased to $0.5 million during the first quarter of the current year
from $0.1 million for the comparable period of 1997, due primarily to the
addition of equipment used for Paragon's operations. Corporate administration
expenses, which are comprised primarily of personnel-related costs, decreased
slightly to $0.8 million for the current quarterly period from $0.9 million for
the comparable period of the prior year.
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased to $0.4
million from $.04 million for the three months ended June 30,1997, attributable
primarily to outstanding borrowings under the Company's $10 million credit
facility and $5 million short-term credit facility during the current quarterly
period.
15
<PAGE>
The provision for income taxes reflects effective tax rates of 3.4%, of the
pre-tax loss reported for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 29.2% of the
pre-tax income reported for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease
in the effective tax rate for the current quarterly period is primarily
attributable to management's determination that the future realization of
deferred tax assets is not more likely than not and as such, a valuation
allowance has been established against the Company's deferred tax assets.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, total revenues increased to $33.2
million, up 57.3% compared to revenues of $21.1 million for the comparable
period of 1997.
The $12.1 million increase in total revenues was principally the result of an
increase in Construction Division revenues to $27.0 million from $14.2 million
for the first six months of 1997. The low volume of construction business for
the first six months of 1997 was the result of management's decision to curtail
such activities pending the implementation of new systems and the integration of
new management in 1997. Revenues attributable to the Consumer Division decreased
to $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, reflecting a 8.7%
decrease from the comparable period of the prior year. Such decrease in Consumer
Division revenues was due to a reduction in earnings from the Company's
partnership interest in JNAI in the Far East as well as a reduction in related
party commissions and fees.
The Company incurred an operating loss of $11.7 million and operating income of
$0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The operating loss incurred for the current period was primarily attributable to
significant losses incurred on construction projects related to job cost
overruns.
The operating loss incurred for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was also
impacted by an increase in the amount of depreciation and amortization expense,
which increased to $0.8 million during the first half of the current year from
$0.2 million for the comparable period of 1997, due primarily to an increase
from the addition of equipment used for Paragon's operations. Corporate
administration expenses, which are comprised primarily of personnel-related
costs, decreased slightly to $1.8 million for the first half of the current year
from $2.1 million for the comparable period of the prior year.
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased to $0.6
million from $0.1 million for the first six months of 1997, attributable
primarily to outstanding borrowings under the Company's $10 million credit
facility and $5 million short-term credit facility during the current period.
The provision for income taxes recorded for the six months ended June 30, 1998
reflects an effective tax rate of 2.3% of the pre-tax losses reported for the
period, and the benefit for income taxes recorded for the six months ended June
30, 1997 reflects an effective tax rate of 41.6% of the pre-tax income reported
for the period. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the current six month
period is primarily attributable to management's determination that the future
realization of deferred tax assets is not more likely than not and as such, a
valuation allowance has been established against the Company's deferred tax
assets.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the Company had a working capital
deficit of $29.4 million and $12.4 million, respectively, along with cash and
cash equivalents of $1.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
Certain of the Company's working capital requirements are financed by borrowings
under a $10 million revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the facility are
secured by Company assets excluding various golf center properties and certain
other assets pledged to secure other long-term indebtedness. At June 30, 1998
and December 31, 1997, outstanding borrowings under the facility were
approximately $9.3 million and $8.9 million, respectively. The credit agreement
for the facility contains customary conditions and covenants with respect to the
conduct of the Company's business, including dividend payment limitations, and
requires the maintenance of various financial ratios. At June 30, 1998, the
Company was out of compliance with respect to its maintenance of the required
ratio
16
<PAGE>
of EBITDA to interest expense plus current maturities of debt, as defined in the
credit agreement, for which it obtained a waiver from the financial institution.
During July 1998, all amounts outstanding under this credit facility were repaid
in full, and the credit facility was terminated. Accordingly, all amounts
related to the revolving credit facility are classified as a current liability
in the accompanying balance sheets.
The Company entered into a definitive credit agreement with this same lender on
February 27, 1998 for an additional short-term $5 million credit facility.
Borrowings under the new facility are limited to a percentage of Paragon's
eligible trade receivables and net costs and estimated earnings in excess of
billings on uncompleted construction contracts, subject to certain limitations
and stipulations as set forth in the credit agreement. The new credit agreement
provides for a term of 90 days and as of June 30, 1998, the outstanding balance
of borrowings under the facility was $5 million. Outstanding borrowings are
cross-collateralized with related indebtedness under the $10 million revolving
credit facility previously provided to the Company by this same lender, whereby
all advances payable to such lender are secured by Company assets excluding
various golf center properties and certain other assets pledged to secure other
long-term debt. During July 1998, all amounts outstanding under this credit
facility were repaid in full, and the credit facility was terminated.
Accordingly, all amounts related to the credit facility are classified as a
current liability in the accompanying balance sheets.
The Company has incurred operating losses from continuing operations which has
resulted in an accumulated deficit of approximately $44.2 million and a working
capital deficiency of approximately $29.4 million at June 30, 1998. The Company
incurred a net loss of approximately $17,000,000 (unaudited) for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and expects such losses to continue during the remainder of
fiscal 1998. Management's plans in regard to these matters include obtaining
funds from the sale of Golf Centers to an unrelated party, as well as reducing
on-going expenses at Paragon. In connection with Paragon, the Company is
negotiating with certain project owners, as well as construction vendors and
subcontractors, to expedite the completion of those projects and to minimize the
cost associated with such completion.
Future working capital requirements are dependent on the Company's ability to
complete the sale of Golden Bear Golf Centers which closed on July 21, 1998, to
successfully complete negotiations regarding Paragon as discussed in the
preceding paragraph and to achieve and maintain profitable operations in the
future. Although there can be no assurances, management believes the Company
will be successful in realizing these objectives, and, accordingly, will
generate sufficient cash flow from operations to rectify the Company's current
working capital deficiency and to meet future working capital requirements. To
the extent that capital requirements exceed available capital or the Company is
unable to successfully complete negotiations regarding Paragon, the Company will
need to seek alternative sources of financing to fund its operations. The
Company has no existing credit facility and no assurance can be given that
alternative financing will be available, if at all, in a timely manner, on
favorable terms. If the Company is unable to obtain satisfactory alternative
financing, the Company may be required to delay or reduce its proposed
expenditures or sell additional assets in order to meet its future obligations.
CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS
Although substantially all of the Company's contracts are denominated in United
States dollars, fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies relative to the
United States dollar could impact the Company's results of operations. A
substantial portion of the revenues of the Company's overseas licensees are
generated in foreign currencies and accordingly, fluctuations in the value of
these currencies relative to the United States dollar could adversely affect the
Company's profitability. Royalty payments received by the Company or by its JNAI
equity investee relating to foreign licensing arrangements are generally based
on the exchange rate at the time of payment. Although the Company's construction
contracts outside of the United States are generally denominated in United
States dollars, certain payments to local subcontractors and vendors on various
overseas projects are made in the functional currencies of the respective
countries and accordingly, the effective costs to complete certain overseas
projects may increase or decrease as foreign currencies fluctuate relative to
the United States dollar. The Company's JNAI joint venture enters into futures
contracts to hedge its anticipated receipt of certain royalty payments
denominated in Japanese yen. Apart from these futures contracts on the part of
JNAI which were not material to the Company's results of operations, the Company
does not currently engage in hedging activities with respect to currency
fluctuations, but may do so in the future. Furthermore, the Company has
historically engaged in significant business

activities in Japan and Asia. To the extent that markets in these geographic
areas are volatile and unfavorably impact the Company's customers, such events
could have an adverse effect on the Company's operations in the region going
forward.
YEAR 2000
The Year 2000 issue exists because many computer systems and applications
currently use two-digit fields to designate a year. As the century date change
occurs, date-sensitive systems may recognize the year 2000 as 1900, or not at
all. This inability to properly treat the Year 2000 issue may cause systems to
process critical financial and operational information incorrectly. The Company
has evaluated the modifications required to ensure that its computer systems are
Year 2000 compliant. Such modifications are not anticipated to be significant
and the costs associated with such modifications will be expensed as incurred.
In the opinion of management, the conversions required to comply with the Year
2000 issue are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results
of operations.
MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risks, including changes in interest rates and
currency exchange rates. Based on the Company's interest rate and foreign
exchange rate exposure at June 30, 1998, a 10% change in the current interest
rate or historical currency rate movements would not have a material effect on
the Company's financial position or results of operations over the remainder of
the current fiscal year.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements made

estimated contract costs, estimated losses on uncompleted contracts and

and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking
