NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements are reported on a consolidated basis with the Company's
wholly owned subsidiary CEC Properties, Corp and Classic Golf Management. All
material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The Company reports on the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are
recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred.
All adjustments made to the financial statements are of a normal recurring
nature necessary to present fairly the financial condition of the Company.
(2) Discontinued Operations: Investment Properties
The Company adopted a plan to sell its two remaining rental properties in order
to focus on its golf management operations. As such, the revenue and expense
from the rental operations are disclosed as discontinued operations in the
income statement for quarters ended April 30, 1998 and January 31, 1998. Both
properties were sold during the Company's second quarter for net gains of
$59,898 and $37,575. The related trust deeds payable were paid full as a result
of these transactions.
The revenue and expense disclosed as discontinued operations in the income
statement is for quarter ended July 31, 1997. Revenues and expenses in 1998 are
from continuing operations.
For comparability, the presentation of the prior year periods has been changed
to conform with the presentation in the current year.
(3) Statement of Cash Flows
The Company considers only cash in the bank to be cash or cash equivalents for
purposes of the statement of cash flows.
Non cash investing and financing activities:
During the quarter ending April 30, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors
authorized and issued 312,500 shares of its common stock to Equisource. Inc.
(formerly PJM Trading Company) as payment for financial consulting fees of
approximately $156,000. Of these fees, approximately $71,000 was accrued
expenses for the services rendered at October 31, 1997. The remaining $85,000 of
fees are consulting with respect to the private placement of the Company's
securities in May, 1998. These fees were deducted from the proceeds of the
private placement, which was finalized in May, 1998, during the Company's third
fiscal quarter.
During the quarter ending July 31, 1998, the Company completed a private
placement whereby it raised $ 1,005,000 ($841,114 after expenses). The net
proceeds were used for operations and cash.

ITEM 2:
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company was substantially reorganized in 1995. The Company
manages, constructs and maintains golf courses and golf driving ranges through
its wholly owned subsidiary, Classic Golf Management. It currently has two
management contracts: (A) an operating contract for the City Club golf course in
Marietta, Georgia, which pays the Company $50,000 per year plus a performance
bonus of two percent (2%) of revenues. Additionally, the Company owns the pro
shop, and the teaching center, and (B) At Sugar Creek in DeKalb County, Georgia,
the Company pays a fee to the county which is a percentage of the green fees
which is similar to a triple net lease. The Company is responsible for the snack
bar, carts, driving range, tennis and employees, with the Company retaining the
revenues from those operations. The Company's employees are obtained from a
third party who, effectively, leases the Company its employees. The Company also
has a contract for the maintenance of the Heritage Hills driving range, which
pays the Company approximately $2,000 per month. The Company is focusing its
efforts on bidding and obtaining new management contracts and acquisition of
additional management companies.
The Company entered into negotiations in 1996 to purchase Blue T, a
golf course construction and management company. In early 1997 the negotiations
were terminated. Paul Balalis, the chief executive officer and principal
stockholder of the Company personally guaranteed a loan to Blue T for a third
party that went into default. The Company had loaned Blue T funds for an option
to develop the Camarillo golf course. When Blue Tee could not repay the loan,
the Company acquired the option for Camarillo, together with a former Blue T
employee, who owns 20% of the option.
The Company retained 80% of the rights to Camarillo Creek in Ventura
County, California and 100% to the Hickory Stick golf course to be built in
Atlanta, Georgia. The Camarillo Creek course was designed by Charles Howard, a
golf course designer from Austin, Texas. As stipulated in his agreement Mr.
Howard did the complete design of the grading, irrigation and finishing and will
oversee the awarding of the construction contract. Milton Abell, president of
the Company's subsidiary, Classic Golf Management, designed the Hickory Stick
Project and will be supervising the construction and the awarding of any
contract. The Environmental Impact Report and Specific Plan for Camarillo Creek
was approved by the Ventura County Board of Supervisors in October, 1997. An
environmental group's litigation against the Company, Ventura County and CAMP (a
partnership which intends to build a 16,000-seat amphitheater adjacent to the
golf course) delayed this project. The result of this suit will determine when
the Army Corps of Engineers issues the final wetlands permit, which will allow
construction to proceed. In August 1998 the Company agreed to an Option
Agreement, to assign all of its rights for Camarillo Creek to an unrelated third
party in exchange for reimbursement of all of its costs plus $50,000.
In October, 1997 the Company completed its acquisition of Classic Golf
Management and purchased the assets of Classic Golf Shops. Prior to November
1997 the Company's primary income was from rental properties. The Company
divested itself of all of those properties by April 1, 1998 in order to focus on
its golf management business.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED July 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED July 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The majority of the increase in total revenues for the third quarter
from $29,000 in 1997 to $331,000 in 1998, was generated from revenues related to
the acquisition of Classic Golf Management. The unusual severity of the weather
in the Atlanta, Georgia area, related to "El Nino", impacted and reduced the
expected revenues from Classic Golf Management.
The Company's expenses were $390,000 in the third quarter of 1998, up
from $0 in 1997. Most of the increase was attributable to the recently acquired
operations of Classic Golf Management. Operating expenses were $0 in 1997 and
$390,000 in 1998.
The resulting net profit for the three-month period was down from $8,000 in 1997
to a loss of ($59,000) in 1998.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1998 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The primary increase in revenues, for the first nine months of 1998
from the first nine months in 1997, was generated from the acquisition of
Classic Golf Management and the sale of two rental properties. The revenues in
1998 were $1,148,000 and $94,000 in 1997. The revenues in 1998 were lower than
expected by approximately $120,000 because of the severe weather in the Atlanta,
Ga. area caused by "El Nino".
The Company's expenses for the first nine months of 1998 were
$1,203,000, up from $92,000 in 1997. Most of this increase was attributed to the
acquisition of Classic Golf Management.
The resulting loss in 1998 increased to ($75,000) from a profit of
$2,000 in 1997.
CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY RESOURCES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Historically the Company has been undercapitalized. The Company has
financed itself from the cash flow of operations, the sales of two of its
properties and loans from the principal stockholder. The Company anticipates,
based on current plans and assumptions relating to its operations, that the
proceeds of the privately raised capital, together with the Company's existing
business and cash generated from operations, should be sufficient to satisfy the
Company's contemplated cash requirements for at least 18 months. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company will not require additional cash during or
after such 18-month period.
An anticipated positive cash flow from Classic Golf Management of
approximately $200,000 in 1998 should eliminate the need to further borrow from
the principal stockholder. The long-term debt of $767,000 incurred from the two
rental properties was eliminated by their sale in the second fiscal quarter of
1998. Additionally, the company raised net proceeds of $841,114 pursuant to a
private placement of its securities completed in May 1998.
The Company estimates that it will incur additional capital
expenditures of approximately $4,200,000 during the next fifteen months in
connection with the acquisition and construction of a golf course. $4,000,000 is
to be provided by construction loans from third party lenders, of which none
have yet been obtained. In connection with the raising of this needed capital
the Company entered into a financial consulting agreement with Equisource, Inc.
formerly known as PJM Trading Company to provide financial, management and
consulting services to the Company for a period of five years. Pursuant to that
agreement the Company previously issued 312,500 shares and will issue an
additional 312,500 shares of its common stock as payment for the services to be
rendered.
<PAGE>
SEASONALITY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The golf industry is seasonal in nature because of weather. This is the reason
the Company has thus far concentrated on those parts of the country that do not
experience a severe winter. The continuation of play through the winter months
allows for continuity in financial performance. Unfortunately, the "El Nino"
storms produced unusual weather conditions in 1997 and 1998 in the Atlanta,
Georgia area, which resulted in, estimated lost net income of approximately
$150,000.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The forward-looking statements herein are based on current expectations that
involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are
based on assumptions that the Company will have adequate financial resources to
fund the development and operation of its business, and there will be no
material adverse change in the Company's operations or business. The foregoing
assumptions are based on judgments with respect to, among other things,
information available to the Company, future economic, competitive and market
conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or
impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the Company's
control. Accordingly, although the Company believes that the assumptions
underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any such assumption
could prove to be inaccurate and therefore there can be no assurance that the
results contemplated in the forward-looking statements will be realized. There
are a number of other risks presented by the Company's business and operations
which could cause the Company's financial performance to vary markedly from
prior results or results contemplated by the forward-looking statements.
Management decisions, including budgeting, are subjective in many respects and
periodic revisions must be made to reflect actual conditions and business
developments, the impact of which may cause the Company to alter its capital
investment and other expenditures, which may also adversely affect the Company's
results of operations. In light of significant uncertainties inherent in
forward-looking information included in this quarterly Report on Form 10QSB, the
inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the
Company or any person that the Company's objectives or plans will be achieved.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
---------------------------
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.
- ------- ------------------------------------------
(a) On or about May 30, 1998, the Company sold 502,500
units. Each unit consisted of two shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock, $.90 par value and One
Five Year Warrant to Purchase One Share of Common
Stock.
(b) The units were sold to 12 Accredited Investors.
(c) The units were sold for $2 per unit. The aggregate
offering price received was $1,005,000. Commissions
of $80,400 were paid in connection with the sale.
(d) The securities sold were exempt under Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act in that they were sold to 12
Accredited Investors each of whom represented they
were purchasing for their own account, for investment
only and not with a view toward the resale or
distribution thereof.
(e) The units sold consisted of the following convertible
securities:
PREFERRED STOCK. Each share of Preferred Stock sold receives a five percent (5%)
dividend, is entitled to one-half vote with the Common Stock on any matters
submitted to the stockholders generally; is redeemable after the third
anniversary of its issuance at one dollar per share plus any accrued and unpaid
dividends, has a liquidation preference of one dollar per share; is convertible
at the option of the holder of such shares into Common Stock on the basis of
each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible into that number of shares of
Common Stock as shall equal an amount equal to $1.00 divided by 75% of the
average bid price for the Common Stock in the public market in which it trades
for the three (3) days prior to the date of conversion (but in no event less
than 0.625 per share of Common Stock) (the "Conversion Price"), subject to
certain adjustments. No more than 400,000 shares of Preferred Stock (i.e. one
dollar per Preferred Share) may be converted in any one-week period (on a first
come, first served basis). In the event the underlying Common Stock has not been
registered with the SEC by December 30, 1998, then the Company will issue an
additional ten percent (10%) of shares of Common Stock to each then holder of
the Preferred Stock, or if previously converted, to the holder of the underlying
Common Stock.
WARRANTS. Each Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase from the
Company one Common Share of the Company at $3.125 per share for a period of five
years from May 30, 1998.
The exercise price and the number of Common Shares or other securities
purchasable upon exercise of any Warrants and the number of Warrants are subject
to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including the issuance of
Common Stock for a consideration of less than the Market Price (as defined in
the Warrant Agreement) of the shares of Common Stock or as a dividend to the
holders of all outstanding Common Stock; or subdivide, combine, the Common
Stock. No adjustment in the exercise price will be required to be made with
respect to the Warrants until cumulative adjustments amount to $0.01 or more;
however, any such adjustment not required to be made will be carried forward and
taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
<PAGE>
In the event of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or other similar
change of outstanding Common Stock, any consolidation or merger involving the
Company (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result in any
reclassification, capital reorganization or other similar change in the
outstanding Common Stock), or a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company, as or substantially as, an entirety, each Warrant will
thereupon become exercisable only for the kind and number of shares of stock or
other securities, assets, or cash to which a holder of the number of shares
Common Stock purchasable (at the time of such reclassification, reorganization,
consolidation, merger or sale) upon exercise of such Warrant would have been
entitled upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger or
sale. In the case of a cash merger of the Company into another corporation or
any other cash transaction of the type mentioned above, the effect of these
provisions would be in that the holder of a Warrant would thereafter be limited
to exercising such Warrant at the exercise price in effect at such time for the
amount of cash per share that a Warrant holder would have received had such
holder exercised such Warrant and received Common Stock immediately prior to the
effective date of such cash merger or transaction. Depending upon the terms of
such cash merger or transaction, the aggregate amount of cash so received could
be more or less than the exercise price of the Warrant.
The Warrant Agreement contains provisions permitting the Company without the
consent of any Warrant holder to supplement the Warrant Agreement in order to
cure any ambiguity, to correct any provision contained therein which may be
defective or inconsistent with any other provisions therein, or to make any
other provisions which the Company may deem necessary or desirable and which
does not adversely affect the interests of the Warrant holders.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock
and Warrants will be convertible or exercisable have certain registration rights
under the Securities Act. The Company has agreed to promptly take steps to
register the Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock offered hereby is
convertible and the Warrant Shares are exercisable. All such shares of Common
Stock will be included in the registration at no cost, except standard broker
commissions or discounts. In the event said registration is not effective within
six (6) months of the date hereof then the Company will issue to each then
holder of the Preferred Stock, or if previously converted, to the holder of the
underlying Common Stock acquired hereby an additional ten percent of shares of
Common Stock.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
- ------- -----------------
The Company elected to assign its option to enter into a forty (40) year lease
with the County of Ventura, California for construction and operation of an
18-hole golf course in Camarillo, California known as Camarillo Creek. The golf
course construction has been delayed for a substantial period and continues to
be delayed as a result of litigation filed by environmental organizations
wishing to keep the property in a natural state. While the Company believes that
the golf course will ultimately be constructed it does not wish to continue to
tie its funds up in a project with an uncertain beginning. As a result, the
Company assigned its option to an unrelated party in exchange for reimbursement
of all of the Company's outstanding expenses paid with respect to the project
(approximately $155,000) as well as an agreement to pay an additional $50,000
(which was deposited into an escrow) at such time as a grading permit for the
project from the County has issued, provided it issues before December 31, 2000.
If the permit does not issue by that date the $50,000 will be returned to the
option assignee. The option assignee also retains the right to a return of the
$50,000 if it determines in good faith that the grading permit can not be
obtained. Upon a return of the $50,000 to the option assignee the Company has
the right to reacquire the option if it elects to pay the amount of the expense
reimbursement (approximately $155,000) to the option assignee.
