PART I
Item 1. Business
Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc., (the "Registrant") was incorporated in the State of
Florida on June 20, 1979 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pittway Real Estate,
Inc. ("PREI"). PREI was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Penton Publishing, Inc.
which, in turn, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pittway Corporation of
Northbrook, Illinois. The Registrant was formed to acquire an existing golf
course and tennis club and develop it into a condominium resort and residential
homes project.
Thomas L. Dempsey ("Dempsey") effectively purchased one hundred percent (100%)
of the authorized and issued stock of the Registrant from PREI on November 14,
1988 for approximately $24,116,000. Dempsey is the former Chairman of the Board
of Penton Publishing, Inc. and a former Director and Vice President of Pittway
Corporation. Dempsey subsequently gifted 13,000 shares of the Registrant's
non-voting stock to family trusts (see Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain
Beneficial Owners and Management of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated
herein by reference).
Prior to November 14, 1988, the Registrant operated and reported the results of
its operations in two industry segments: (1) the real estate segment was
engaged in the development, construction and sales of resort and residential
condominium units, homes and residential lots and (2) the resort segment was
engaged in the ownership and operation of the resort including its facilities
for hotel, convention, food and beverage, golf, tennis and other recreational
activities.
In connection with and immediately prior to the sale of the stock of the
Registrant to Dempsey, the Registrant deeded the property which comprised its
real estate segment to PREI as a dividend from a subsidiary to its parent. The
property that was conveyed to PREI was not used as part of the resort or by its
rental guests or condominium owners.
The operations of the Registrant are not considered to be dependent upon the
availability of raw materials, nor the effect of the duration of patents,
licenses, franchises or concessions held.
The Registrant's resort operations are seasonal with a higher volume of sales
during the winter and spring seasons.
The Registrant's competition includes major golf and tennis resorts nationwide,
which provide luxury accommodations and facilities for conventions and
recreational activities.
At December 31, 1997, there were approximately 860 persons employed by the
Registrant.
<PAGE> 3

Item 2. Properties
Saddlebrook Resort is located in south Pasco County, near Tampa, Florida. The
property originally consisted of approximately 330 acres which the Registrant
purchased in July 1979. In addition, approximately 170 and 11 adjoining acres
were purchased and added to the Saddlebrook project in 1984 and 1985,
respectively. The Registrant's property has been approved for 950 residential
and condominium units.
A portion of the Registrant's property that was being developed as residential
single family and cluster homes and improved residential lots known as Fairway
Village was deeded to PREI in November 1988 (see Item 1. Business of this Form
10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference).
Property improvements for the resort consist of condominiums which were sold or
are for sale to outside parties of which there were 551 rental units
participating in a rental pooling program at December 31, 1997 (see Exhibit 28
- - Interest Being Registered of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by
reference). As of December 31, 1997, there were 20 condominiums owned by the
Registrant.
In addition, the resort facilities include a 117,000 square foot convention
facility with approximately 60,000 square feet of meeting space, two 18-hole
golf courses, 45 tennis courts, a luxury health spa, a fitness center, three
swimming pools, three restaurants, shops and other facilities necessary for the
operation of a resort.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
On May 12, 1989, the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in and for
Pasco County, Florida, in the lawsuit, James H. Porter and Martha Porter,
Trustees, et al v. Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. and the County of Pasco, Florida,
Case No. 83-1860, entered a judgment against the Registrant in the amount of
$8,082,000 relating to damages to adjacent property for surface water effects.
In addition, an injunction was entered to remediate damages relating thereto.
On October 14, 1989, the Registrant and Pittway Corporation entered into an
agreement, and on July 16, 1993 an amended agreement, to split equally the
costs of the defense of the litigation, the ultimate judgment and the mandated
remedial work. The agreements provide for Pittway Corporation to make
subordinated loans to the Registrant, if required, to enable the Registrant to
pay for its half of these costs (see Item 1. Business of this Form 10-K, which
is incorporated herein by reference).
<PAGE> 4
Page 4
Item 3. Legal Proceedings (continued)
On March 18, 1992, the Florida Second District Court of Appeal issued an
opinion reversing and vacating the jury verdict and judgment against the
Registrant and ordering a new trial due to the false testimony of plaintiffs'
expert hydrologist. On December 22, 1993, the Registrant filed a motion for
summary judgment in the trial court on grounds that the findings in its favor
by an administrative law judge in a related proceeding bar further litigation
of this matter. An order granting the summary judgment and dismissing the
action was entered on January 7, 1995. On August 16, 1996, the Florida Second
District Court of Appeal filed an opinion affirming, in part, and reversing, in
part, the summary judgment. On November 19, 1996, the Registrant filed a motion
with the trial court to determine the issues that remain for retrial. Oral
argument was heard on May 15, 1997. A ruling on said motion is expected in
1998. Management currently believes that the Registrant's position in further
litigation would be meritorious.
The Registrant is involved in other litigation in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management, these matters are adequately covered by
insurance or indemnification from other third parties. The effect, if any, of
these claims is, in management's opinion, immaterial to the Registrant's
financial condition and results of operations.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
Not applicable.
PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters
The Registrant's stock is privately held and there is no established market for
the stock (see Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference).
Condominium units that were developed and sold by the Registrant are deemed to
be securities due to the rental pool feature (see Exhibit 28 - Interest Being
Registered of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference).
However, there is no market for such securities other than the normal real
estate market. Since the security is real estate, no dividends have been paid
or will be paid.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Registrant's current debt, and the related debt of an affiliate, matures on
July 16, 1998. Accordingly, the Registrant's debt is classified as a current
liability on its balance sheet. The current lender has verbally indicated that
the maturing debt may be renewed with similar terms. However, management is
nearing the completion of negotiations for longer-term financing with other
lenders. Management believes this refinancing will occur before the maturity
date of the current debt (see Note 6 - Note Payable of the Notes to Financial
Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by
reference).
Construction of the resort facilities was substantially complete as of December
31, 1982. During the fiscal periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the
Registrant constructed a new fitness and recreation center and upgraded its
previous fitness center area into a luxury spa at a total aggregate cost of
$1,440,000. During the fiscal period ended December 31, 1995, the Registrant
completed several capital projects for an aggregate cost of approximately
$2,277,000. However, no individual project had a cost in excess of $1,000,000.
There were no other major capital additions or improvements during the fiscal
years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.
Significant capital expenditures are not anticipated in the next year. Future
operating costs and planned expenditures for minor capital additions and
improvements will be funded by the resort operations of the Registrant or by
additional financing pursuant to the anticipated refinancing of the
Registrant's debt discussed above.
Management is not aware of any environmental matters other than the issue in
Item 3. Legal Proceedings of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by
reference.
The Registrant's operations are not considered to be dependent on any
individual or small group of customers, the loss of whom would have a material
adverse effect.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)
Management is aware of the issues associated with the programming code in
existing computer systems as the millennium (year 2000) approaches. Management
has commenced the replacement and upgrading of the Registrant's computer
systems so that the systems are converted to the current technological
standards for its industry. Accordingly, management anticipates that the
Registrant's computer systems will be year 2000-compliant and the effects of
the millennium on the Registrant's operations will be minimized.
There are no adverse purchase or other commitments outstanding as of December
31, 1997.
Results of Operations
Revenues for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 were
comprised of the following areas of operation:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Year ended December 31,

--- --- ---
100% 100% 100%
=== === ===
</TABLE>
Total revenues increased 12% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 when
compared with the previous year. This improvement was a result of increases in
occupied unit nights, average daily rate and number of guests who stayed at the
resort for 1997 when compared to the prior fiscal period. Total revenues
increased 5% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 when compared with its
previous year. This improvement was a result of increases in occupied unit
nights and number of guests who stayed at the resort, which were offset
slightly by a decrease in the average daily rate, for 1996 when compared to
fiscal 1995. The above improvements in guest occupancies are attributed to
various remodeling projects and the upgrading of the resort property that
occurred over the last few years. Projections for occupied unit nights and
revenues for 1998 and subsequent fiscal periods are expected to continue a
slight growth trend.
<PAGE> 7
Page 7
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)
Net income increased 80% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 when
compared with the previous year. This increase is a direct result of the
increased revenues which were offset by increased general costs of operation.
Net income decreased 3% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 when
compared with its previous year. This decrease was a result of increased
depreciation and interest expense related to recent capital improvements along
with increased general costs of operation.
The Registrant elected S Corporation status effective February 1, 1990.
Accordingly, the Registrant has subsequently had no income tax expense as the
tax is assessed at the shareholder level (see Note 8 Income Taxes of the Notes
to Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated
herein by reference).
In management's estimation, the effects of inflation and changing prices on the
Registrant's results of operations were negligible in 1997, 1996 and 1995.
Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation
The Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation (the "Rental Pool") is described in Note
2. Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Financial Statements of
Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. and in Note 1. Rental Pool Operations and Rental Pool
Agreement of the Notes to Financial Statements of Saddlebrook Rental Pool
Operation in Item 8 of this Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by
reference.
The average occupancy for fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995 was 54%, 51% and 49%,
respectively. The average distribution of Net Rental Income per participating
rental unit for fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $11,093, $9,881 and $9,733,
respectively.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

SADDLEBROOK RESORTS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. THE COMPANY:
Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of
Florida in June 1979 at which time it purchased a golf course and tennis
complex, as well as certain undeveloped land, located in Pasco County,
Florida, which was developed as a resort-condominium and residential homes
project. Property improvements for the resort consist of condominiums
which were sold or are for sale to outside parties. The majority of the
condominium units sold are provided as hotel accommodations by their
owners under a Rental Pool and Agency Appointment Agreement. In addition,
the resort facilities include two 18 hole golf courses, 45 tennis courts,
three swimming pools, three restaurants, a 117,000 square foot convention
facility with approximately 60,000 square feet of meeting space, a luxury
health spa, a fitness center, shops and other facilities necessary for the
operation of a luxury resort. The Company was purchased by its current
majority shareholder in 1988.
In December 1994, the Company's sole shareholder approved an amendment to
the Company's Articles of Incorporation increasing the amount of
authorized shares of common stock to 50,000 voting and 50,000 nonvoting
shares from 25,000 shares. Each share of voting stock outstanding was
exchanged for 100 shares of voting and 100 shares of nonvoting stock. Par
value of the stock remained unchanged at $1 per share.
Effective October 1, 1995, the Company's sole shareholder gifted 6,500
nonvoting shares to each of two family trusts. The ownership percentages
are 87%, 6.5% and 6.5% for the controlling shareholder and the two trusts,
respectively.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies follows:
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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 equivalents
All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of
3 months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
Resort inventory and supplies
Inventory includes operating materials and supplies and is accounted for
at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market.
Investments
Investments of the Company, which are held to maturity, are recorded at
amortized cost, which approximates fair market value.

<PAGE> 18
SADDLEBROOK RESORTS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. 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. With the retirement or other disposition of property, buildings
and equipment, 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.
Management periodically reviews the potential impairment of property,
buildings and equipment in order to determine the proper carrying value of
property, buildings and equipment as of each balance sheet date presented.
Deferred charges
In connection with the Company's refinancing of its debt during 1993 and
further consolidation of debt through 1997, costs in the amount of
$569,244 have been incurred and capitalized. These debt issuance costs
are being amortized using a method that approximates the interest method
over 5 years, the life of the related debt outstanding.
Amortization expense for deferred charges amounted to $126,580, $122,266
and $92,531 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
Rental pool operations
Resort revenues 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, maintenance, and other costs would have
been incurred. Instead, resort operating expenses for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 include rental pool distributions
approximating $6,090,000, $5,385,000 and $5,285,000, respectively.
3. ESCROWED CASH:
Escrowed cash, restricted as to use, at December 31 is comprised of the

restrictive covenants regarding lease agreements, assignment of contracts,

institutions to refinance the current note payable on terms substantially
consistent with its existing obligation. Management believes the note
payable will be refinanced prior to its due date.

On March 18, 1992, the Florida Second District Court of Appeal issued an
opinion reversing and vacating the jury verdict and judgment against the
Company and ordered a new trial. On December 7, 1994, the trial court
heard oral argument on the merits of the Company's motion for summary
judgments based on collateral estoppel and ruled in the Company's favor.
On December 23, 1994, the plaintiffs filed a motion seeking clarification
of the court's December 7, 1994 ruling. Thereafter, on January 5, 1995
the Company filed its response in opposition to that motion. On January
7, 1995, the court entered an order granting summary judgment in favor of
the Company and dismissing the action. The plaintiffs then appealed said
order to the Florida Second District Court of Appeal on April 21, 1995.
On August 16, 1996, the appellate court issued its opinion affirming and
reversing, in part, the trial court's grant of summary judgment to the
Company. On November 19, 1996, the Company filed a motion to determine
the issues that remain for retrial. Oral argument for that motion took
place on May 15, 1997. The court has not ruled on the motion and no trial
date has been set. Management currently believes that the Company's
position in further litigation would be meritorious.
The Company is involved in other litigation in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management, these matters are adequately
covered by insurance or indemnification from other third parties and/or
the effect, if any, of these claims is not material to the reported
financial condition or results of operations of the Company as of December
31, 1997.
Loan guarantees
The Company is contingently liable for the notes payable to a bank in the
amount of $629,000 maturing in 1998 recorded by SIT, a related party.
Insurance pool
The Company has pooled its risks with other resorts by forming an
insurance purchasing group in which they retain an equity interest and to
which they pay insurance premiums. The Company's ownership is less than
8% and all amounts contributed as capital ($122,950 as of December 31,
1997) are reflected as prepaid expenses and other assets in the
accompanying Balance Sheets. The Company's investment approximates the
proportionate net book value of the insurance company as of December 31,
1997. The Company may withdraw from the risk pool at any renewal date
(annually).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
March 13, 1998
To the Board of Directors of Saddlebrook
Resorts, Inc., as Operators under the Saddlebrook
Rental Pool and Agency Appointment Agreement
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of
operations and of changes in participants' fund balance present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Saddlebrook Rental Pool
Operation (funds created for participants who have entered into a rental pool
agreement as explained in Note 1) at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
results of its operations and the changes in participants' fund balance for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the rental pool's operators; 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 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

SADDLEBROOK RENTAL POOL OPERATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. RENTAL POOL OPERATIONS AND RENTAL POOL AGREEMENT:
Condominium units are provided as rental (hotel) accommodations by their
owners under the Rental Pool and Agency Appointment Agreement (the
"Agreement") with Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. (collectively, the "Rental
Pool"). Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. ("Saddlebrook") acts as operator of
the Rental Pool, which provides for the distribution of a percentage of
net rental income, as defined, to the owners.
The Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation consists of two funds, the Rental
Pool Income Distribution Fund ("Distribution Fund") and the Maintenance
and Furniture Replacement Escrow Fund ("Maintenance Escrow Fund"). The
operations of the Distribution Fund reflect the earnings of the Rental
Pool. The Distribution Fund balance sheets reflect amounts due from
Saddlebrook for the rental pool distribution payable to participants and
amounts due to the Maintenance Escrow Fund. The amounts due from
Saddlebrook are required to be distributed no later than forty-five days
following the end of each calendar quarter. The Maintenance Escrow Fund
reflects the accounting for escrowed assets used to maintain unit
interiors and replace furniture as it becomes necessary.
Rental pool participants and Saddlebrook share rental revenues according
to the provisions of the Agreement. Net Rental Income shared consists of
rentals received less a marketing surcharge of 7 1/2%, a 12 1/2%
management fee, travel agent commissions, credit card expense and a
provision for bad debts, if warranted. Saddlebrook receives 45% of Net
Rental Income as operator of the Rental Pool. The remaining 55% of Net
Rental Income after adjustments for complimentary room revenues (ten
percent of the normal unit rental price paid by Saddlebrook for
promotional use of the unit) and certain minor repair and replacement
charges is available for distribution to the participants and maintenance
escrow fund based upon each participants' respective participation factor
(computed using the value of a furnished unit and the number of days it
was available to the pool). Quarterly, 45% of Net Rental Income is
distributed to participants, and 10%, as adjusted for complimentary room
revenues and minor interior maintenance and replacement charges, is
deposited in an escrow account until a maximum of 20% of the set value of
the individual owner's furniture package has been accumulated. Excess
escrow balances are refunded to participants.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Basis of accounting
The accounting records of the funds are maintained on the accrual basis
of accounting.
Investments
Investments consist of U.S. Treasury Securities which bear interest at
rates ranging from 5.11% to 7.125% (5.86% to 7.18% for 1996). At
December 31, 1997 and 1996, investments of $690,828 and $99,796,
respectively, mature in one year or less.
Income taxes
No federal or state taxes have been reflected in the accompanying
financial statements as the tax effect of fund activities accrues to the
rental pool participants and operator.

DEDICATION OF CONDOMINIUM APARTMENT TO
RENTAL POOL AND AGENCY APPOINTMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made this day of , 198 , by and between
SADDLEBROOK RESORTS, INC., Wesley Chapel, Florida, hereinafter call "Agent," and
whose address is
hereinafter called "Owner":
WHEREAS, the undersigned is the owner of a condominium apartment which is a
part of SADDLEBROOK RESORTS, the identification of which is hereinafter set
forth; and
WHEREAS, in connection with the sales of the condominium apartments in
SADDLEBROOK RESORTS, a majority of the apartment purchasers have indicated a
desire to dedicate their apartments to a rental pool during such periods as the
Owners thereof shall not occupy the same whereby income from such operation may
be shared equitably after payments to the Agent of a percentage of the income
to cover the expenses of the operation and services of Agent; and
WHEREAS, day-to-day management is required, and the Agent is prepared to
assume such responsibilities according to the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements hereinafter
set forth, and the mutual benefits to the respective parties, and the joining
by the one or more Owners of condominium apartment units in SADDLEBROOK
RESORTS, it is hereby agreed as follows:
(1) DEDICATION OF APARTMENT TO RENTAL POOL. The Owner dedicates to the
rental pool his condominium apartment No. , Bldg. , which apartment is a
type apartment unit, in accordance with the terms hereof.
(2) EXCLUSIVE AGENCY EMPLOYMENT: Owner hereby employs Agent to manage the
rental of his unit number for a period commencing on , 198 , and
ending on the 31st day of December, 198 , with the understanding that the
Agency will be automatically renewed on an annual basis unless either party has
given written notification of termination prior to October 15th of any given
year. If such notice is given, this agreement will terminate on December 31st
of the year in which such notice is received.
(3) RESERVATION OF OWNER'S OCCUPANCY. Owner agrees and hereby dedicates his
apartment to the rental pool for rental occupancy for the total period of this
Agreement except for the period of time hereinafter set forth which the Owner
specifically reserves for his personal use, subject to the limitations set
forth in paragraph (4) of this Agreement.
(a) Owner reserves his apartment for
(see attached exhibit)
(b) Except when reserved by Owner for his personal use, Owner's apartment
shall be subject to rental to such tenants as may be provided by Agent for
terms of one or more days by oral or written lease or rental arrangement.
(c) Subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph 4 of this Agreement,
Owner may at any time, by written notice to Agent during the term of this
Agreement, withhold his unit from such renting, for his personal use, for not
more than the said limitations on Owner occupancy for the succeeding calendar
year. Owner must notify Agent as to the dates to be set aside for his personal
use prior to October 15th of each year. Owner understands that his failure to
provide timely notification to Agent could result in the inavailability of his
unit on desired dates. If Owner provides no notification to Agent it will be
assumed that the Owner desires to reserve the same days for his personal use as
were reserved in the previous year. Agent agrees to provide Owner with a
reminder notice regarding renewal options and reservation days by mail on or
before September 1st of each calendar year.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, in
the event an Owner desires his own apartment other than at periods reserved by
the Owner pursuant to Paragraphs 2 (a) and (c) hereof, and if said apartment is
not occupied, or in the sole opinion of the Agent likely to be occupied, for
all or any part of the period for which Owner desires such occupancy, the Owner
may take the apartment out of the pool for such period and utilize the said
apartment himself. In such event, the Owner shall give Agent a minimum of
twenty-four (24) hours' written notice of such temporary removal of the
apartment from the pool. In the event the apartment is occupied, or in the sole
opinion, of the Agent is likely to be occupied, for all or any part of the
period the Owner desires such additional occupancy, then the Owner shall have
no right to remove said unit from the rental pool.
(e) In the event that the Owner desires to occupy his own apartment, other
than at a time reserved for Owner occupancy, during any period when it is
dedicated to the rental pool and does not wish to remove said apartment from
the rental pool, he may do so as a rental tenant and, as such, shall have
preference to occupy his condominium apartment unit if the same has not been
previously reserved by a tenant. Owner shall pay the prevailing rental charges
as established by the Agent for said apartment.
(4) LIMITATIONS ON OWNER OCCUPANCY. The parties acknowledge that in order
to have a successful rental pool operation, there must be a limitation on Owner
occupancy of the units so dedicated to the rental pool. It is mutually agreed
that participating Owners in this rental pool are guaranteed the use of their
units for forty-five (45) days per calendar, with not more than twenty-one (21)
of such days to fall in the period beginning December 15th and ending April
15th. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting a
participating Owner from occupying his dedicated unit in excess of the above
limitations if his unit is available in the sole judgement of the Agent. The
above provision concerning occupancy is a contractual agreement between Agent
and Owner. The Tax Reform Act of 1976 contains special provisions concerning
the deductibility of expenses for vacation homes related to the Owner's personal
occupancy. You should consult your tax advisor regarding this matter.
(5) TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. The parties to this Agreement, both the Owner
and the Agent, may terminate this Agreement by giving not less than six (6)
months' notice to the other party of his intentions to so terminate the
Agreement.

EXHIBIT 10.2 Page 2 of 4
(6) OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY. Owner recognizes and agrees that his right to
participate in the rental pool depends upon his maintaining the interior of his
condominium apartment in a first-class occupancy condition, and Owner agrees,
so long as he is a party to this Agreement, that he will so maintain the
interior of his apartment. Agent, in its sole discretion shall have the right
to take such steps as necessary to bring the interior of the apartment to such
condition, including but not limited to redecoration of walls and ceilings and
replacement or repairs of draperies, carpeting, furniture and equipment. Costs
for such expenditures shall be charged against the Escrow Account more fully
described hereafter in paragraph 19, and if said account is insufficient, the
balance of such costs may be deducted from any amounts owning to Owner from his
share of the rental pool, provided, however, that in the event the proposed
expenditure would both exceed the amount in the Escrow Account and is over One
Hundred ($100.00) Dollars, Agent agrees to get Owner's permission prior to
making such expenditures, provided further that should Owner refuse to
authorize such expenditures, Agent may forthwith terminate this Agreement. In
the event Agent shall exercise its right to bring a rental unit into
first-class occupancy condition as provided in this paragraph 6, subject to the
Owner's right of approval, if applicable, and such expenditures exceed both the
amounts in the Escrow Account and owing to Owner from his share in the rental
pool, Owner agrees to promptly fully recompense Agent for the balance of said
expenditures. In the event Owner fails to so recompense Agent, Agent may
forthwith terminate this Agreement as to such apartment unit, and upon due
notification to SADDLEBROOK RESORT CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC., the said
Association will recompense Agent and exercise such remedies against Owner
and/or his apartment unit as are set forth in the Articles of Incorporation and
By-Laws of such Association pertaining to assessments. Owner further agrees
that the Agent shall have the right to reasonable inspection of the interior
of the Owner's apartment in order to satisfy itself that the unit is being so
maintained, and Agent shall at all times have a passkey to Owner's apartment.
No apartment Owner shall alter any lock or install any new lock on any doors
leading into his apaprtment without the consent of the Agent, and if such
consent be given, the Agent shall be provided with a key.
(7) DEFINITION AND ALLOCATION OF NET RENTAL INCOME. The parties agree that
net rental income for purposes of this Agreement is defined as follows:
Apartment and room rentals received, less marketing surcharge of a maximum of
7 1/2% of rentals received in each calendar year, a twelve and one-half percent
(12 1/2%) management fee to Agent, travel agents' commissions, reserve for bad
debt and credit card expenses. The proceeds of the marketing surcharge will be
made available for promoting and advertising the Saddlebrook resort operations.
The remaining amount of net rental income, as defined, shall be distributed as
follows:
(a) Rental Pool Income; 45% to the rental pool, to be allocated among
the Owners in accordance with the formula for calculating shares of interest as
hereinafter set forth.
(b) Occupancy Fee; 10% of Net Rental Income to the Owner of a rented
apartment unit; prior to determination of the 10% occupancy fee a deduction
will be made for all minor repair and replacement charges of $25 or less.
Items in this category shall include but not be limited to common repair and
replacement charges applicable to all units such as replacing light bulbs, air
conditioner filter, and smoke detector batteries. A participant's occupancy
fee is subject to the provisions of paragraphs 6 and 19.
(c) 45% to Agent for its services as manager of the rental pool and the
hotel operation.
(8) CALCULATION OF SHARES IN RENTAL POOL. The Owner's share in the monies
allocated to the rental pool shall be determined as follows:
(a) Unit Factor:
A point allocation, attributable to the purchase price (furnished)
of each dedicated apartment unit, will be calculated quarterly so as to
determine the Owner's unit factor. The computation of this factor will be
based upon the purchase price (furnished) of each apartment unit as of January
1 of each year for each type of apartment. the unit factor will be the sum
total of the purchase price (furnished), as herein defined of all apartment
units dedicated during the quarter, divided into the purchase price (furnished)
as herein defined of the particular dedicated apartment unit. The resulting
fraction shall be expressed as a decimal.
(b) Availability Factor:
The summation of the number of days that all apartments are
dedicated to the rental pool in the quarter shall be the denominator. The
number of days that the particular dedicated apartment is in the rental pool in
the quarter shall be the numerator. The resulting fraction, expressed as a
decimal, shall be the availability factor for an apartment unit for that
calendar quarter.
(c) Participation Factor:
The unit factor shall be multiplied by the availability factor, and
the resulting figure shall be the Owner's rental pool participation factor for
such quarter.
(d) Rental Pool Income:
The total of the participation factors for each apartment unit in
the rental pool for the calendar quarter shall be divided into the total rental
pool income (45% of net rental income), as herein defined, available to the
rental pool participants, and the resulting figure times each Owner's
participation factor shall equal his income from the rental pool for the
calendar quarter.
(9) COMPLIMENTARY ROOMS. Owner acknowledges that in connection with rental
promotion activities, Agent will find it necessary and desirable to furnish
complimentary rooms from time to time. Owner agrees that Agent may so furnish
complimentary rooms when Agent, in its sole discretion, deems it necessary or
desirable to do so and that in such event, Agent shall pay an amount
representative of ten percent (10%) of the normal unit rental for each
apartment unit or units which are used as complimentary rooms, and said ten
percent (10%) amount shall be paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to
the Owner of the respective apartment unit or units whose apartments have been
so utilized for complimentary occupancy.
(10) AGENT OBLIGATION FOR RENTAL EXPENSES. Owner shall have no expenses for
rental operation as a deduction from net rentals except as provided in
paragraph 7, so long as SADDLEBROOK RESORTS, INC. is the Agent under the
Agreement, except the utilities and property taxes for his apartment, his
obligations for the common element expenses under the Declaration of
Condominium and the maintenance of his regular membership in SADDLEBROOK GOLF
AND TENNIS CLUB in good standing.
(11) PAYMENT OF RENTAL SHARES. Payment of rental pool shares shall be made
on a quarterly basis within forty-five (45) days of the close of each calendar
quarter. The Agent shall distribute to the participating Owners their
respective rental and occupancy fees as heretofore provided, based on their
respective participating factors for that calendar quarter accompanying such
distribution with adequate accounting data in support thereof, such payments to
be subject to all provisions of this Agreement.
(12) OWNER'S OBLIGATIONS. In addition to and not in limitation of the
obligations at law of Owner as a lessor, Owner covenants as follows:
(a) Punctually and fully to perform Owner's obligation as a
condominium owner in SADDLEBROOK RESORTS, including payment of the periodic
charges and assessments attributable to condominium ownership.
- 32 -

EXHIBIT 10.2 Page 3 of 4
(b) To keep Owner's apartment furnished to the extent and in the manner
reasonably required by Agent as necessary for rental purposes hereunder. In
order to maintain the quality of the Owner's apartment comparable with other
rental units in SADDLEBROOK RESORTS, Agent is authorized to establish required
minimum quantity and style of furnishings and equipment for purposes of
efficient rental pool operations.
(c) Subject to Owner's rights of privacy during periods of Owner occupany
of Owner's apartment, to permit Agent and tenants access to Owner's apartment
consistent with rental occupancy hereunder.
(d) Not to leave upon the premises valuable personal effects or matters of
a nature unsuitable for rental occupancy.
(e) To maintain during the term of the Agreement a regular membership in
SADDLEBROOK GOLF AND TENNIS CLUB for each non-connecting unit in the rental
pool and to authorize SADDLEBROOK to issue a guest card to tenants of Owner's
apartment authorizing the tenant during his tenancy to use the facilities of
SADDLEBROOK upon payment by the tenant of such costs and charges which the Club
may make for any and all services and facilities and upon tenant's complying
with all rules and regulations of the Club. The Owner shall not be liable for
any charges or expenses of tenant in connection with his use of the Club
facilities and services, and if any credit is extended by SADDLEBROOK GOLF AND
TENNIS CLUB to tenant, the Club shall be responsible for the collection of the
indedtedness.
(f) To authorize the Agent to utilize seasonal rates, to grant discounts in
room rates to individuals and/or groups and to utilize package plans. All
package plan discounts will be allocated on a pro-rata basis to all cost
centers affected.
(13) EXTENSION OF RENTAL POOL. It is recognized that Agent plans to expand
the present condominium development of the property it owns or acquires in
Pasco County, Florida, if there is good public acceptance of same. In such
event, it is recognized that it may be economically desirable to extend the
rental pool hereunder on a common basis with other condominium projects and
with common agency management. Agent therefore is specifically permitted to
undertake the duties as Agent under similar rental pool arrangements to this
one for other condominium apartments which are a part of SADDLEBROOK RESORTS
and, to the extent that such rental pool is on a common basis with the terms
hereof, to apply common administration to the rental pool so created on a
basis of equitable participation by condominium apartment units subjected to
the terms hereof or of similar agreements to this one.
(14) ACCOUNTING AND RECORDS. Agent shall cause appropriate books and
records to be maintained for the rental pool, which books and records shall be
subject to examination by or on behalf of participating Owners at any and
all reasonable times. In addition to quarterly distribution of accounting data
in connection with distribution of rental shares as per paragraph 11 hereof,
Agent will cause an annual summary to be distributed to each Owner in such form
as is useful for Owner's income, expense, tax, and depreciation records.
(15) TERMINATION. Agent may terminate its designation hereunder upon giving
of six (6) months' written notice. Such termination will not of itself
terminate the rental pool, and the Owners participating therein may designate a
replacement manager for the performance of Agent's duties hereunder effective
with such termination. Terms of successor agent's appointment shall be as
agreed between Owners and such successor and, to the extent that such successor
agent does not thereby assume the Agent's duties hereunder, the same shall be
the obligation and expense of the participating Owners. Upon expiration of the
term hereof, or as the same may be renewed or upon termination hereof by Agent
under the provisions of this paragraph, Agent will offer for sale to the
management of the rental pool Owner's participating in the rental pool at the
then mortized cost thereof, the innkeeper's supplies then in use by Agent in
the management of the rental pool hereunder, and if the same be purchased by
participants for continuing rental pool, the expense of such acquisition shall
require the Agent to acquire charge against the Owners electing to participate
therein, provided, however, that nothing herein shall require the Agent to
acquire innkeeper's supplies should Agent engage the services of an independent
operating firm as hereinafter provided. Participating Owners may individually
withdraw from the rental pool upon six (6) months' written notice to Agent as
heretofore provided. Such withdrawl by an individual Owner shall not terminate
the rental pool as between Agent and other participating Owners. In the
event of transfer by Owner of his condominium apartment in the SADDLEBROOK
project to a new owner, any such sale shall be subject to the current rental
reservations for a period of six months after closing, however, the successor
owner shall not otherwise be a participating member of the rental pool except
by joining as a party thereto by execution and delivery of a similar agreement
to this Agreement.
(16) INSURANCE. Owner recognizes that the maintenance of fire and extended
coverage insurance upon the common property of the condominium project is an
ordinary and assessable cost of the condominium, exclusive of the agency
arrangements hereunder. Additionally, Owner recognizes the maintenance of fire
and extended coverage insurance upon Owner's property located at Owner's
apartment unit in the condominium project is the Owner's own responsibility.
Recognizing that the conduct of the rental pool hereunder is for the common
benefit of the participants, Owner covenants that he will maintain such
additional insurance as he deems necessary with the subrogation waiver clause
provisions, and Owner hereby waives subrogation as to damage or destruction
of his property to the extent that the same may occur during or arise in
connection with rental occupancy thereof or the conduct of the rental pool
hereunder. Agent will procure, as a rental pool expense chargeable to Agent's
share of the rental income, liability insurance protecting the rental pool, the
participants therein and the Agent as to liability for property damage, bodily
injury or death occuring or claimed to occur by reason of or connected with the
rental pool operations hereunder or the conditions of the rented property or
common property therewith. Agent is further authorized, but only as Agent may
determine economically feasible, in the name of itself and the rental pool, to
procure burglary and theft insurance, use and occupancy insurance and fidelity
bond coverages.
(17) MAINTENANCE OF OWNER'S APARTMENT UNIT. The Agent is not responsible
for repair, restoration, redecorating or other expenses arising by reason of
ordinary wear, tear, obsolescence and depreciation. Owner recognizes such
expenditures as within Owner's responsibility and, to the extent connected with
rental pool participation, adequately compensated by the occupancy fee provided
for in paragraph 7(b) hereof.
(18) AGENT'S DELEGATION OF DUTIES TO AN INDEPENDENT OPERATOR. The parties
agree that Agent has the right to delegate many of Agent's duties to an
independent operating corporation at Agent's discretion. Such delegation may
include, but is not limited to, arranging for all advertising and promotion,
employing a general manager and other necessary personnel, maintaining the
books and records of the rental pool, staffing and operating a rental
reservation system and any and all other operations and employment of personnel
which are consistent with the operation and maintenance of a recreational
resort facility. Owner shall have no liability for any charges made to Agent
for the services of such independent operator, and any and all cost for such
services shall be paid by Agent out of its portion of the gross rentals.
(19) ESCROW ACCOUNT. Agent will establish an Escrow Account in which shall
be deposited quarterly Owner's ten percent (10%) occupancy (which equals 10% of
the net rental income) for use of its individual apartment in the rental pool,
such ten percent (10%) occupancy fee being heretofore more fully described in
paragraph 7(b). The Escrow Account is established for the purpose of enabling
Agent to have funds on hand from which Agent, at its sole discretion, may
maintain in the interior of each apartment, including maintenance,
redecoration, repair and/or replacement of walls, ceilings, floors, carpeting,
furniture, fixtures and equipment, such redecoration, repairs and replacement
being necessitated by normal wear and use. The parties acknowledge that
establishment of such account and the repair, replacement and redecoration is
necessary to keep all participating apartments in the rental pool up to
standards established for SADDLEBROOK. Subject to limitations set forth in
paragraph 6, Agent, in its sole discretion, shall have the
- 33 -
<PAGE> 4
EXHIBIT 10.2 Page 4 of 4
right to expend from said Escrow Account such funds as are therein set aside
for such redecoration, repairs and replacement. Agent agrees that each
apartment in the rental pool shall be maintained in a condition with the
standards established for SADDLEBROOK as a resort hotel, and Owner agrees that
he will provide such additional funds as are necessary for this maintenance and
upkeep upon request of management. Thereafter, Agent shall deposit the Owner's
occupancy fee into the Escrow Account until such time as the Owner shall have on
deposit in said Escrow Account twenty percent (20%) of the then existing value
of the standard furniture package for condominium apartment unit comparable to
Owner's unit. Additional funds will be deposited from Owner's occupancy fees
from time to time in order to maintain Owner's interest in the Escrow Account
at the level as heretofore described. The Escrow Account shall be an
interest-bearing account to the extent practicable, and interest shall be
credited to the respected apartment Owner's share of the funds in said account.
Agent shall annually report to the apartment Owner on all expenditures made from
said Escrow Account on his apartment and as to the balance remaining in
said Escrow Account together with any interest accrued thereon. If an Owner's
Escrow Account, including interest, shall exceed the twenty percent (20%)
maximum, the excess will be refunded on an annual basis. In the event the
Owner should sell his unit, the Escrow balance shall be returned to him within
forty-five (45) days from the transfer of ownership and the new owner shall be
required to deposit $500.00 into the Reserve Account if he elects to
participate in the SADDLEBROOK rental pool.
(20) NOTICES, ASSIGNMENT AND ENFORCEMENT. Notices required or appropriate
hereunder may be given in writing, addressed to the recipient at the address
set forth above as to Agent, or set forth below as to Owner and deposited in
the United States mails, postage prepaid, and in such case shall be deemed
received on the fifth business day following such dispatch. Either party, by
written notice, may provide a different address for the receipt of notice
hereunder. Because of the necessity of dependable performance by the parties
hereto of their respective undertakings, neither party may assign its rights or
obligations hereunder to any other person or party except with written consent
of the other party hereto, other than as provided in paragraph 18 hereof. This
Agreement is binding upon and for the benefit of the respective parties, their
heirs, representatives, successors and to the extent permitted hereby, their
respective assigns. In the event an action is brought to enforce the terms
hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover the expenses of such
action, including reasonable attorney's fees therefor.
(21) CONDITIONS OF OCCUPANCY. Agent may enter Owner's apartment, and Agent
may remove such personal effects as Agent determines appropriate to be moved,
storing the same for reinstallation at the end of the rental period, provided,
however, that nothing herein shall obligate Agent to so remove such personal
effects or create any liability against Agent for the failure to remove such
personal effects. Agent will cause the apartment to be cleaned and prepared
for rental occupancy and so maintained during rental occupancy. At the
termination of rental occupancy, Agent will remove linens and supplies utilized
for such occupancy and will replace linens and any personal effects of Owner,
leaving the premises for re-occupancy by Owner.
(22) MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS.
(a) This Agreement contains all the terms and conditions agreed to
between the parties, and any amendments or modifications shall be in writing
and executed with the same formality at this Agreement.
(b) Whenever used, the singular number shall include the plural, the
plural the singular, and the use of any gender shall include all genders.
(c) The parties agree that this Agreement shall be interpreted under the
laws of the State of Florida and that the invalidity of one or more parts of
the Agreement shall not affect the remaining parts of the Agreement.

4. INTERESTS BEING REGISTERED
The registrant is advised by Hill, Hill & Dickenson, P.A., registrant's
legal counsel, that the mere sale of a condominium unit formed under the laws
of the state of Florida is not, of itself, the offer or sale of a security
or investment contract, as those terms are used in the regulation of securities
in Florida. However, in view of the fact that the purchasers are offered the
optional opportunity to participate in a rental pool, the combination is treated
as an offering of an investment contract under the Federal and various state
securities laws and interpretations thereof. If a purchaser of a condominium
unit at Saddlebrook elects to participate in the rental pool, he thereby has an
opportunity to receive rental income as from an investment. The registrant
emphasizes that there is not contractual or guaranteed rate of return of rental
income to purchasers who elect to participate in the rental pool or the
non-pooling rental arrangement. The condominium unit owners electing to
participate in the rental pool does not thereby receive any incidence of control
or voting rights in the operation of the rental pool. Condominium unit owners
electing to participate in the rental pool furthermore receive no interest,
directly or indirectly, in the affairs of registrant nor any parent or affiliate
thereof.
