Item 2.           Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On March 20, 1997, Florida Panthers Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation
(the "Company") entered into a Contribution and Exchange Agreement, as amended
and restated (the "Contribution and Exchange Agreement"), with Boca Raton Hotel
and Club Limited Partnership, a Florida limited partnership ("Boca
Partnership"), BRMC, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Boca General
Partner"), and BRMC Corporation, a Delaware corporation and the general partner
of the Boca General Partner ("BRMC"). Boca Partnership was formed in June 1983
for the purpose of purchasing, owning, managing and operating the Boca Raton
Resort and Club, a destination luxury resort and private club encompassing 298
acres of land fronting on both the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway in
Boca Raton, Florida. The transaction contemplated by the Contribution and
Exchange Agreement (the "Contribution and Exchange") was consummated on June 26,
1997.
 
     Upon the terms and subject to the provisions of the Contribution and
Exchange Agreement, all of the assets of Boca Partnership were transferred to
Panthers BRHC Limited, a newly-formed Florida limited partnership ("Panthers
BRHC"), in which the managing general partner and the limited partner are
wholly-owned by the Company. As set forth in the Contribution and Exchange
Agreement, the Company, through the managing general partner, limited partner
and Panthers BRHC, paid the following consideration: (i) a non-managing general
partnership interest in Panthers BRHC; (ii) warrants (the "Warrants") to
purchase 869,810 shares of Panthers Holdings' Class A common stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"); (iii) 189,574 shares of Class A
Common Stock, which were used to compensate certain affiliates of Boca
Partnership, who through their affiliates control the Boca General Partner, for
their involvement in integrating Boca Raton Resort and Club into the Company;
(iv) 82,729 shares of Class A Common Stock, which were used to pay persons to
whom Boca Partnership is obligated to pay fees; (v) Exchange Rights which, when
distributed to the Boca General Partner and the limited partners in accordance
with the partnership agreement of Boca Partnership, will entitle such holders,
without any additional consideration, to sell their partnership interests to an
affiliate of the Company in exchange for approximately 4,242,586 shares of Class
A Common Stock exercisable at any time before January 1, 2001; and (vi) the
assumption of indebtedness and payment of deferred fees and additional interest
charges owed by the Boca Partnership in the amount of approximately $205.9
million, of which approximately $95.9 million was repaid upon consummation of
the Contribution and Exchange. Of the $95.9 million which was repaid, $60.9
million was paid from the Company's working capital and $35.0 million was paid
from the incurrence of additional debt. 
 
     The value of the aggregate consideration paid in connection with the
acquisition of Boca Partnership as of the closing date, including the assumption
by the Company of approximately $205.9 million of indebtedness and payment of
deferred fees and additional interest charges owed by the Boca Partnership, was
approximately $317.6 million, based on the closing price per share of Class A
Common Stock of $24 3/4 on the June 26, 1997 closing date.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Partners of
Boca Raton Hotel and Club Limited Partnership
 
     In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements
of operations, of changes in partners' deficit and of cash flows present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Boca Raton Hotel and Club
Limited Partnership at December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the year in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. 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 audit. We conducted our audit of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
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 audit provides a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  DECEMBER 31, 1996 (IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS)
 
1.  ORGANIZATION
 
     The Boca Raton Hotel and Club Limited Partnership (the Partnership) was
formed in June 1983 under the laws of the State of Florida. The purpose of the
Partnership is to purchase, own, manage and operate the Boca Raton Resort and
Club, a 298-acre resort complex containing several hotel facilities with a total
of 963 guest rooms. In addition, the complex includes 31 tennis courts, 2 golf
courses, marina, beach club and other recreational facilities. Included within
the resort is the Boca Golf and Tennis Country Club (a separate facility) (see
Note 6). The Partnership also leases the food and beverage concessions, and has
contracted for golf access at the Deer Creek and Carolina country clubs.
 
     As of January 15, 1993, the original general partner, VMS Realty Investment
Ltd. (VMSRIL), withdrew from the Partnership as general partner and was replaced
by the Boca Raton Management Company, a New York general partnership (BRMC/NY).
BRMC/NY was succeeded as general partner on October 1, 1993 by BRMC, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (BRMC) (see Note 3).
 
2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     A summary of the significant accounting principles and practices used in
the preparation of the financial statements follows:
 
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
 
     The Partnership prepares its financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These principles require management to
(1) make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, (2) disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and (3) report amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH
 
     The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less from the date purchased to be cash equivalents. Restricted
cash consists principally of escrow accounts restricted as to use and maintained
in accordance with the terms of the Partnership's First Mortgage Notes. Short
term investments consist primarily of repurchase agreements.
 
FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the carrying amounts of cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments approximate their fair value due to their
short duration to maturity. The carrying amount of the mortgages and other loans
approximate their fair value.
 
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND MARKET RISK
 
     Concentration of credit risk and market risk associated with cash, cash
equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments are considered low due
to the credit quality of the issuers of the financial instruments held by the
Partnership and due to their short duration to maturity. Accounts receivable are
primarily from major credit card companies and other large corporations. The
Partnership performs ongoing credit evaluations of its significant customers and
generally does not require collateral.
 
PREMIER CLUB MEMBERSHIP DEPOSITS
 
     The Partnership classifies premier club membership deposits as an operating
activity in the Statement of Cash Flows (see Note 10).

     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) -- (CONTINUED)
 
PROPERTY, IMPROVEMENTS AND DEPRECIATION
 
     Property and improvements are stated at cost and are depreciated on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
 
<TABLE>
<S>                                                       <C>
Buildings and improvements..............................  15 - 30 years
Furnishings and equipment...............................   3 - 10 years
</TABLE>
 
     Provision for value impairments are recorded with respect to such assets
whenever the estimated future cash flows from operations and projected sales
proceeds are less than the net carrying value. The Partnership implemented
Statements on Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 121, Accounting for
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,
effective January 1, 1996. The implementation of FAS No. 121 did not have a
material impact on the financial statements. Costs of major renewals and
improvements which extend useful lives are capitalized. Expenditures for
maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
 
INVENTORIES
 
     Inventories consisting of food, beverage and operating supplies are
determined using the first-in, first-out method and are stated at the lower of
cost or market.
 
DEFERRED LOAN COSTS
 
     Deferred loan costs, primarily loan origination and related fees, are
capitalized and amortized on the straight-line basis over the terms of the
respective debt, which approximates the effective interest method. Deferred loan
costs are presented net of accumulated amortization. At December 31, 1996 and
1995, accumulated amortization totaled $643 and $1,320, respectively.
 
DEFERRED MEMBERSHIP REVENUE
 
     Deferred membership revenue is recognized as income ratably over the
membership year commencing October 1.
 
RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
     Certain items for 1994 and 1995 have been reclassified to conform to the
1996 presentation.
 
PARTNERSHIP RECORDS
 
     The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting
as adjusted for federal income tax reporting purposes. The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared from such records after making
adjustments, where applicable, to reflect the Partnership's accounts in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The net effect
of these items is summarized as follows:

INCOME TAXES
 
     No provision has been recorded for income taxes or related credits in the
Partnership's financial statements as the results of operations are includable
in the income tax returns of the partners. The differences between financial
statement income or loss and tax income or loss relate primarily to the methods
and lives used to depreciate fixed assets, the treatment of costs of the Premier
Membership Program, the treatment of syndication costs and the treatment of the
1994, 1995 and 1996 debt restructurings.
 
3.  PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
 
     Operating profits and losses of the Partnership are allocated pursuant to
the terms of the partnership agreement or in accordance with Internal Revenue
Code Section 704(b). Profits and losses attributable to capital items such as a
sale or refinancing are allocated among the partners in accordance with the
Partnership agreement.
 
     Distributions of cash flows are made, subject to the participation therein
of BRMC, as follows: (a) first, to the Limited Partners in an amount equal to
12% per annum (on a non-cumulative basis) of their aggregate capital
contributions (95% to Class A and 5% to Class B); (b) then, to BRMC, the payment
of a subordinated incentive fee, as defined in the Partnership Agreement; and
(c) then, of the balance, 98% to the Limited Partners (93.1% to Class A and 4.9%
to Class B) and 2% to BRMC.
 
     Distributions of capital items are made as follows: (a) first, 100% to the
Limited Partners until such time as each Limited Partner has received
distributions sufficient to reduce their aggregate capital contribution to zero;
(b) then, 100% to BRMC until such time as BRMC has received distributions
sufficient to reduce its aggregate capital contributions to zero; (c) then, to
the Class A Limited Partners to the extent not previously paid from Cash Flow an
amount equal to: 10% per annum of their aggregate capital contributions (on a
cumulative basis from January 1, 1984); (d) then, first to the Limited Partners,
90% (85.5% to Class A and 4.5% to Class B) of the next $16,000 and then 10% of
such $16,000 to BRMC; and (3) then, 70% to the Limited Partners (66.5% to Class
A and 3.5% to Class B) and 30% to BRMC.
 
     In 1996, the Partnership made capital distributions totaling $2,500 to the
Class A Limited Partners and accrued $132 for distributions to the Class B
Limited Partners.
 
     The Partnership relies on mortgages and other loans to fund capital
improvements and construction projects. The Partnership expects to meet its cash
requirements through operations and the use of existing cash balances.
 
     As general partner, BRMC is entitled to receive the following forms of
compensation and additional distributions (General Partner Compensation):
 
          1. A supervisory management fee, the lesser of (a) $50 per month and
     (b) 90% of the hypothetical supervisory fee formerly payable to an
     affiliate of VMSRIL (see Note 8).
 
          2. A debt restructuring fee with existing creditors, .5% of the
     principal amount of the Partnership's indebtedness restructured (see Note
     8).

          3. A debt or equity capital raising fee, 1.5% of the amount raised. To
     the extent any capital raised is applied to repay indebtedness, no debt
     restructuring fee referred to in 2 above shall be payable with respect to
     the portion of the indebtedness for which a capital raising fee is charged
     (see Note 8).
 
          4. A debt reduction fee, 10% of the principal amount of the debt
     extinguished. BRMC would receive 20% of its debt reduction fee at the
     closing of the debt reduction transaction, with the balance paid from (a)
     any excess proceeds from the refinancing of such debt, and (b) any
     distributions resulting from any sale or refinancing as a preference to the
     Limited Partners' distributions thereunder (see Note 8).
 
          5. A participation in cash distributions, BRMC will receive the
     following distributions:

        In the event the Limited Partners are diluted in connection with any
        offering of new Partnership equity, the distribution breakpoints (DBP)
        in the above table will be adjusted in accordance with the following
        formula: DBP divided by that percentage of the Partnership's equity
        owned by the existing Limited Partners upon completion of the financing.
        Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, BRMC shall receive a total share
        of such distributions of not less than $500. Such minimum shall not
        apply in the event that the Limited Partners' cumulative distributions
        have not exceeded Limited Partners' taxes due thereon.
 
        6. The foregoing elements set forth in preceding subparagraphs 2, 3, 4
     and 5 are limited by the provisions of the first mortgage notes (see Note
     5).
 
4.  LETTERS OF CREDIT
 
     As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership has two letters of credit
which secure two operating leases. The letters of credit are collateralized by
certificates of deposit totaling $500 which mature in August 1997 and are
included in restricted cash and short-term investments.

FIRST MORTGAGE NOTES
 
     On August 22, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement with a
consortium of financial institutions to borrow $130,000 primarily for the
purpose of refinancing existing first mortgage notes. The agreement consists of
a $110,000 Senior Facility (Senior Notes) and a $20,000 Subordinate Facility
(Subordinate Notes). Both Facilities mature on August 22, 2001 and accrue
interest, based on a 360 day year, payable monthly in arrears. The Senior Notes
accrue interest at the lenders' base rate plus one-quarter percent (Base Rate)
or LIBOR plus two and one-quarter percent (LIBOR Rate). In 1996, the Partnership
selected the LIBOR Rate, averaging approximately 7.814%. The Subordinate Notes
accrue interest at a fixed rate of thirteen percent. Both Facilities are secured
by a first mortgage and lien on all assets held by the Partnership, except in
certain circumstances where other first liens are permitted. The outstanding
balance on the First Mortgage Notes at December 31, 1996 totaled $130,000.
 
     The Partnership is required to make quarterly principal payments of $750 on
the Senior Notes commencing September 30, 1998 and increasing to $1,250 on
September 30, 1999 and to $1,750 on September 30, 2000. The Partnership is
required to make additional principal payments on the Senior Notes and initial
principal payments on the Subordinate Notes based upon certain cash flow
conditions.
 
     In accordance with the agreement, the Partnership deposits cash into
reserve accounts which are accumulated and restricted to support future debt
service, facility expansion, fixed asset replacement and real estate tax
payments. Both Facilities contain significant restrictions with respect to
payments to Partners and other debt holders.
 
     In conjunction with the refinancing, the Partnership recorded a loss on
debt restructuring of $5,417 which represents the write off of debt issue costs.
The Partnership paid a loan prepayment penalty of $3,515 to Nomura.
 
SECOND MORTGAGE NOTE
 
     On August 22, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement with an
institutional lender to borrow $35,000, as evidenced by a promissory note,
primarily for the purpose of the planned expansion of the Resort. The note is
secured by a second mortgage and lien on all assets held by the Partnership,
except in certain circumstances where other liens are permitted. At maturity,
August 21, 2003, or prepayment of the note, the Partnership is required to pay
an amount which will result in an annual internal rate of return to the lender
of

eighteen and one-half percent (18.5%). Interest is payable quarterly in arrears
commencing October 1, 1996 at a rate of eight percent through December 31, 1998
and fourteen and one-half percent thereafter based on a 360 day year. The
Partnership accrues interest at 18.5% per annum. Additional interest and
principal payments are required based on certain cash flow conditions. The
outstanding balance on the Second Mortgage Note totaled $35,000 at December 31,
1996.
 
     The Partnership may not prepay the note prior to its third anniversary
except in connection with a sale of Partnership assets to a third party. If
prepayment occurs before August 23, 2001, the Partnership is required to pay an
amount (Prepayment Amount) which would result in an 18.5% internal rate of
return to the lender through that date. The Prepayment Amount will be reduced by
the return which would result from the lenders' reinvestment of the repaid
principal at the United States Treasury Notes rate plus 250 basis points, if
prepayment results from sale of Partnership assets or from cash flow; or plus
150 basis points, if prepayment results from refinancing the note or sale or
issuance of any ownership interest in the Partnership.
 
THIRD MORTGAGE NOTE
 
     On August 22, 1996, a note payable, which was previously secured by a first
mortgage, was replaced with a third mortgage and lien on all assets of the
Partnership. The note matures on September 30, 2003 and accrues interest at a
fixed rate of approximately 14.52% through September 30, 1998 and at a variable
rate thereafter payable quarterly in arrears. The outstanding balance on the
Third Mortgage Note at December 31, 1996 totaled $500.
 
     The Partnership is required to make an additional payment (Final
Participation Interest) upon maturity of the loan or sale of the Partnership's
assets equaling the sum of $750, plus 5% of the Partnership's net asset value as
calculated based on certain criteria. In the event of refinancing of the
property, the Partnership is required to make a payment of 5% of the net
proceeds (Interim Participation Interest). Interim Participation Interest paid
will be deducted from the Final Participation Interest amount. In 1996, the
Partnership paid $125 of Interim Participation Interest.
 
OTHER NOTES PAYABLE
 
     The Partnership's other notes payable represent two unsecured promissory
notes with original amounts of $8,000 and $2,000 dated October 7, 1994 related
to a settlement agreement whereby the Partnership terminated a 20-year
management agreement. Both promissory notes mature on October 7, 2004 and accrue
interest at a rate of 7% payable semi-annually in arrears.
 
     The $8,000 promissory note requires future principal reductions of $320 on
October 7, 1997 and $400 on each October 7 from 1998 to 2003, with a balloon
payment of $5,040 due at maturity. The $2,000 promissory note payable requires
future principal reductions of $80 on October 7, 1997 and $100 on each October
7, from 1998 to 2003, with a balloon payment of $1,260 due at maturity. The
notes include limitations on additional senior debt.
 
     At December 31, 1996, aggregate future maturities of mortgage and other
loans payable are as follows:

    a result of the restructuring.
 
     Also on October 11, 1994, the Partnership entered into a $48,500
     subordinated note agreement with a new lender. The proceeds of the note
     were reduced by a $1,000 commitment fee and used to make the $45,086
     payment described above and to pay accrued interest of $216 on the repaid
     subordinated note, resulting in net cash proceeds of $2,198.
 
(b) The Partnership's subordinated note in the original principal amount of
    $48,500 was retired on September 29, 1995 (the "1995 Refinancing"). The
    total principal and interest owed to the Lender under the note was $50,241.
    An additional Payoff Premium of $1,500 was also owed to the Lender under the
    note. The Partnership made a cash payment of $1,741 to the Lender for
    accrued interest at September 29, 1995 and refinanced $50,000 with the
    issuance of a $50,000 subordinated note. As a result of the 1995
    Refinancing, approximately $1,696 in deferred loan costs were written off
    resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of said amount.
 
     In connection with the 1995 Refinancing, the Partnership paid $389 in
     closing costs and legal fees. These loan costs were capitalized and are
     being amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the loan.
 
(c) On December 15, 1995, the Partnership entered into a $10,000 promissory
    note, the proceeds of which were deposited into an escrow account. The
    balance in the escrow account at December 31, 1995 is $9,864 and is included
    in restricted cash and short-term investments in the accompanying balance
    sheet. The proceeds of the note are to be used for the construction of
    certain hotel property.
 
     The Note is prepayable at any time, provided that any prepayments made
     prior to December 15, 2000 require a prepayment fee sufficient to provide
     the holder an internal rate of return of 16% per annum through December 15,
     2000 based upon a yield maintenance formula.
 
(d) The note calls for $1,000 fee due upon payoff. This fee is being accreted
    over the life of the loan. At December 31, 1995, included in deferred loan
    costs is approximately $968, which represents the $1,000 fee less
    accumulated accretion of $32.
 
     Under the terms of the senior and subordinated mortgage notes described
above, certain amounts are required to be deposited in an escrow account for the
purposes of paying personal and real property taxes. The balance in the personal
and real property taxes account was $853 at December 31, 1995. The terms of
these mortgages also require funds to be escrowed for capital repairs and
replacements to the resort. The balance in the capital repair and replacement
escrow account was $2,148 at December 31, 1995.
 
     The mortgage loan agreements include certain restrictive covenants
including, among other things, the maintenance of a senior debt service ratio,
as defined, of 1.75 to 1 and a subordinate debt service coverage ratio, as
defined, of 1.2 to 1, restrictions on general and limited partner distributions
and limitations on the incurrence of new debt.
 
6.  BANYAN MORTGAGE LOANS
 
     The Banyan mortgage loans consisted of three matured first mortgage loans
collateralized by certain land (the Marina Parcel) and the Boca Golf and Tennis
Country Club. At December 31, 1994, the mortgage loans had principal balances of
$8,100, $10,354 and $2,031 and accrued interest totaled $4,388. During 1994 and
1995, no principal payments were made, other than as described below, and, in
accordance with the terms of the agreements, interest totaling $2,419 was
incurred in 1994.
 
     On December 29, 1994 (the Settlement Date), the Partnership entered into a
settlement agreement which called for the following: (1) a payment of $1,000,
which was made on November 29, 1994, and applied against outstanding principal;
(2) a payment to be made of $3,500, plus interest accrued from the Settlement
Date to the date of payment, to release the Boca Golf and Tennis Country Club
from the mortgage loans; and (3) a foreclosure sale on the Marina Parcel, to be
held subsequent to December 31, 1994.

                 BOCA RATON HOTEL AND CLUB LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
 
     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) -- (CONTINUED)
 
     On January 17, 1995, the Partnership made the $3,500 payment, plus accrued
interest of $18, and on January 26, 1995, a foreclosure sale was held and the
lender obtained ownership of the Marina Parcel.
 
     The settlement is deemed to have occurred at the time the $3,500 payment
was made and the foreclosure sale was held. Accordingly, in 1995, the
Partnership recognized a net gain of $12,024 consisting of $21,373 in
forgiveness of principal and interest offset by a write-off of $9,349
representing the carrying value of the Marina Parcel.
 
     The Partnership agreed to lease the Marina Parcel from the owner for $8 per
month which terminated December 1, 1996 and was subsequently extended to January
1, 1997. On January 2, 1997, the Partnership entered into an agreement with the
owner for the right of partial use of the marina property. The agreement's
initial term expires on September 1, 1997 and is automatically renewable upon
notice, unless terminated by either property owner or the Partnership.
 
7.  SERVICES AGREEMENT
 
     The Partnership has entered into a services agreement with an individual to
provide executive services. Pursuant to the agreement, the individual has agreed
to serve as a director of the corporate general partner of BRMC. The term of the
agreement is ten years commencing on January 1, 1993. As compensation for these
services, the individual receives the following:

          3. Complimentary Premier Club membership.
 
     The basic advisory fee of $150 was paid to the individual in 1994, 1995 and
1996. Cumulative bonuses totaling $107 have been accrued and are included in
other accounts payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 1996.
 
8.  OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     As described in Note 3, BRMC is entitled to receive several forms of
compensation. In respect to Note 3 subparagraph 1, the Partnership paid $600 in

10.  PREMIER CLUB MEMBERSHIP DEPOSITS AND CREDITS
 
     During 1991, the Partnership introduced the Premier Club at the resort
complex. The program requires an initial membership deposit and annual dues
based on the number and type of facilities the member uses.
 
     Under the terms of the Premier Club, commencing in January 1991,
applications for membership required a deposit of $15 ($12 for members under a
prior program). The required deposit was increased to $18 as of May 1, 1992, $22
as of May 1, 1993, $25 as of May 1, 1994 and $28 as of May 1, 1995 and $30 as of
May 1, 1996. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership has recorded membership
deposits of $59,287, of which $47,201 has been either received or credited. As

     Premier Club deposits are net of a deposit credit of $3,584 and $3,462 at
December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, granted to members of a prior
membership program. The deposit credit is amortized on the interest method over
30 years. If any member paying over time suspends payments, amounts paid to date
will be forfeited and recognized as income. Fully paid deposits are refundable
upon the death of a member or a member's spouse and upon the expiration of the
30-year membership term (subject to renewal). The deposit is refundable upon a
member's resignation from the Premier Club, but only out of the proceeds of the
membership deposit of the fifth new member to join the Premier Club following
refund of all previously resigned members' deposits.

     State of Florida Department of Revenue performed audits of the
Partnership's Sales and Use and Intangible taxes for the periods March 31, 1991
to December 31, 1995 and January 1, 1991 to January 1, 1995, respectively. The
Partnership was assessed an additional $248 of taxes and $106 of interest. The
Partnership disputes the assessments and believes it will be successful in
defending its position. Accordingly, no additional liability has been accrued.
 
     The Partnership and KSL Recreation Corporation (KSL) entered into a
settlement agreement and general release on April 24, 1996. In accordance with
the settlement agreement, the Partnership agreed to pay KSL an amount totaling
$1,250, in exchange for mutual releases and discharges from all actions and
obligations from their respective suits. In accordance with the agreement, the
Partnership paid $750 and agreed to pay $500 on or before June 30, 1998. At
December 31, 1995, $950 was included in accrued settlement cost in the
accompanying balance sheet.
 
     The Partnership is subject to various actions arising out of the operations
of its business. Management is vigorously defending these actions and believes
that all actions are adequately covered by insurance.
 
     In November 1995, the Partnership began Phase I of a planned $40,000
expansion of the Resort. At December 31, 1996, the Partnership incurred $15,148
of costs related to the expansion; $8,396 was completed in 1996 and includes
building of a parking garage and tennis courts. The balance of the expansion
plan encompasses construction of a new conference center, completion of a
fitness center and certain other minor improvements to the Resort facilities.
Construction of the new conference center commenced in September 1996. As of
December 31, 1996 and in connection with the Project, the Partnership had
contractual commitments for capital expenditures of $28,406 of which $1,507 is
included in other accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying
balance sheet.
 
12.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Panthers Holdings, Inc. (Panthers) and Panthers BRHC Limited to convey
substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Partnership in exchange

BOCA RATON HOTEL AND CLUB
 
     On March 20, 1997, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the
"Contribution and Exchange Agreement") with Boca Raton Hotel and Club Limited
Partnership, a Florida limited partnership ("Boca Partnership"), BRMC, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership and the general partner of the Boca Partnership
(the "General Partner"), and BRMC Corporation, a Delaware corporation and

Class A common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock");

used to pay persons to whom Boca Partnership is obligated to pay fees; (v)
Exchange Rights which, when distributed to the Boca General Partner and the

sell their partnership interests to an affiliate of the Company in exchange for
approximately 4,242,586 shares of Class A Common Stock exercisable at any time
before January 1, 2001; and (vi) the assumption of indebtedness and payment of

</TABLE>
 
     The relative market values of property and equipment were determined by the
     Company's management in consultation with representatives of the current
     property owners. Factors considered in the allocation include trends in the
     hospitality industry and local real estate market. Although such allocation
     is preliminary, management believes that no material adjustments will be
     required once the Company's due diligence process has been completed.
 
(b)  Represents adjustments to outstanding debt and related costs, including
     yield maintenance adjustment of $20,332,000 resulting from the early
     retirement of debt in connection with the change of control, reduction of
     deferred loan costs of $9,620,000 and accrual of acquisition closing costs
     of $11,800,000. The yield maintenance adjustment has been determined in
     accordance with Boca Partnership's debt agreements.
 
(c)  Represents the use of Private Placement proceeds to repay approximately
     $30,243,000 of outstanding debt, approximately $20,332,000 of yield
     maintenance fees (see note (b) above) and $10,278,000 of deferred fees
     (including $3,725,000 of deferred fees due the General Partner accrued at 
     March 31, 1997) and additional interest charges owed by the Boca
     Partnership. Approximately $35,000,000 of additional debt will be repaid
     with funds provided by additional borrowings in accordance with the terms
     of the Contribution and Exchange.
 
(d)  Represents the issuance of 4,514,889 shares of Class A Common Stock in
     exchange for the property and equipment detailed in note (a) less the fair
     value of long-term debt, per the Contribution and Exchange Agreement. The
     fair market value of the net assets received ($103,430,000 or $22.91 per
     share) is based on the average share price for 5 days before and 5 days
     after execution of the Contribution and Exchange Agreement reduced by a
     discount which was based upon the nature of the securities received
     (convertible limited partnership units) and the size of the block of shares
     to be ultimately issued. The adjustment amount is a combination of the
     partners' deficit and the fair value noted.
 
(e)  Boca Raton Resort and Club has a fiscal year which ends on December 31.
     Reflected hereon are the results of operations for Boca Raton Resort and
     Club for the nine month period ended March 31, 1997 and the twelve month
     period ended June 30, 1996.
 
(f)  Net loss per share and weighted average shares outstanding are determined

     212,766 shares issued in the acquisition of Incredible Ice and (iv)
     2,460,000 shares issued in the Private Placement, all for the period for
     which they were actually outstanding.
 
(g)  Represents the elimination of interest expense related to the term loan and
     the related party debt for the period prior to the Prior Offerings. The
     loans had an interest rate of LIBOR plus .75% per annum. In November 1996
     these loans were repaid with the proceeds of the Prior Offerings.
 
(h)  Net loss per share and weighted average shares outstanding are determined
     based on the (i) 5,275,678 shares issued in connection with the
     Reorganization as if they had been outstanding for the entire period
