The Company's results for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 include
gains on asset sales of $3.7 million, compared with $1.6 million for the same
period last year. The Company also continued to lower expenses in the current
period, primarily campground operating costs, administrative expenses, and
interest. In addition, the Company had $1.1 million of nonrecurring income in
the current period and $1.1 million of restructuring costs in the prior period.
The Company incurs minimal federal income taxes because of substantial net
operating loss carry forwards.
At the direction of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
the Company changed its accounting method and now recognizes revenue from the
sale of campground memberships that do not convey a deeded interest in real
estate on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the memberships sold.
To show comparable results, the Company restated its financial statements for
the nine and three month periods ended March 31, 1997, to reflect this change in
accounting method.
The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
1998, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 13,
1998, contains additional financial and other information concerning the Company
as of and for the nine and three month periods ended March 31, 1998. See
"Available Information" in the Prospectus.
