NATIONAL GOLF PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
-----------------------------------------------------------
National Golf Properties, Inc. (the "Company") owns all of the golf courses
through its general partner interest in National Golf Operating
Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), pursuant to its 64.2%
ownership of the common units of partnership interest in the Operating
Partnership ("Common Units"). The Operating Partnership has an 89% general
partner interest in Royal Golf, L.P. II ("Royal Golf"). Unless the context
otherwise requires, all references to the Company's business and properties
include the business and properties of the Operating Partnership and Royal
Golf.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company,
the Operating Partnership and Royal Golf. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These financial statements
have not been audited by independent public accountants, but include all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. However,
these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other
interim period or for the full year. The accompanying consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited financial
statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
Management believes that the disclosures included in the accompanying
interim financial statements and footnotes are adequate to make the
information not misleading, but should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
The computation of basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during
the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the
weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period and
the incremental shares, using the treasury stock method, from stock options
and unvested restricted stock. The incremental shares for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 were 292,939 and 64,291, respectively.
(2) Property Acquisitions and Sales
-------------------------------
During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company purchased two
golf courses, described below, for an initial investment of approximately
$10.9 million. The acquisitions have been accounted for utilizing the
purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the acquired assets are
included in
6
<PAGE>
the statement of operations from the date of acquisition. Initial
investment amount includes purchase price, closing costs and other direct
costs associated with the purchase. The aforementioned golf courses are
leased to American Golf Corporation ("AGC"), a related party, pursuant to
long-term triple net leases.

Total Initial Investment $ 10,949
===========
In February 2000, the Company sold Lake Houston Golf Club and Woodlake
Country Club for a total amount of approximately $3.2 million. The Company
recognized a gain of approximately $707,000.
(3) Cobblestone Acquisition
-----------------------
On March 31, 1999, the Company purchased fee interests in 15 golf courses,
long-term leasehold interests in two golf courses and leasehold rights in
three golf courses and made a participating mortgage loan collateralized by
an additional golf course (collectively, the "Acquired Cobblestone
Courses"). As part of the Acquired Cobblestone Courses the Company made a
participating mortgage loan of approximately $12.6 million, which is
collateralized by El Camino Country Club (the "El Camino Mortgage"). During
the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company finalized the fair value
allocation of purchase price among the Acquired Cobblestone Courses. As a
result, the El Camino Mortgage was reduced from approximately $12.6 million
to approximately $5.9 million. The difference of $6.7 million was allocated
among the Acquired Cobblestone Courses. In addition, there were
reclassifications among the components of property.
(4) Stock Repurchase Plan
---------------------
In September 1999, the Board of Directors authorized, subject to certain
business and market conditions, the purchase of up to $20 million of the
Company's common stock. At March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the number
of shares purchased under this authorization was 444,800 for a total cost
of approximately $9.1 million. The shares repurchased are considered
"authorized but unissued."
(5) Lease Rental Agreements
-----------------------
For the leases of the Acquired Cobblestone Courses, the base rent generates
an initial return on the Operating Partnership's investment of 8.75% and
will step-up on a sequential basis each year to 9.25%, 9.75%, 10.25%,
7
<PAGE>
10.75%, 11.25%, and finally to 11.75% in 2005. GAAP requires, for leases
with fixed increases in rent, the total rent revenue over the lease period
be straight-lined. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the straight-
lining of rent resulted in additional rent revenue of approximately
$887,000.
(6) Pro Forma Financial Information
-------------------------------
The pro forma financial information set forth below is presented as if the
2000 acquisitions (Note 2) had been consummated as of January 1, 1999.
The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what
actual results of operations of the Company would have been assuming the
acquisitions had been consummated as of January 1, 1999, nor does it
purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

On March 14, 2000, a limited partner exchanged all of its 1,250,000
Common Units for 1,250,000 shares of common stock.
Non-cash transactions for the three months ended March 31, 1999 include
approximately $5.6 million of assumed notes as partial consideration for
the Acquired Cobblestone Courses and approximately $7.4 million in costs
accrued but not paid related to the Acquired Cobblestone Courses and the
new credit facility.
(8) Other Data
----------
AGC is the lessee of all but four of the golf courses in the Company's
portfolio at March 31, 2000. David G. Price, the Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the Company, owns approximately 2.6% of the Company's
outstanding common stock and approximately 16% of the Common Units of the
Operating Partnership and a controlling interest in AGC. AGC is a golf
course management company that operates a diverse portfolio of golf courses
for a variety of golf course owners including municipalities, counties and
others. AGC does not own any golf courses, but rather manages and operates
golf courses either as a lessee under leases, generally triple net, or
pursuant to management agreements. AGC derives revenues from the operation
of golf courses principally through receipt of green fees, membership
8
<PAGE>
initiation fees, membership dues, golf cart rentals, driving range charges
and sales of food, beverages and merchandise.
The following table sets forth certain condensed unaudited financial

Total revenues from golf course operations and management agreements for
AGC increased by $21.4 million, or 17.3%, to $144.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $123.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable
to the addition of 18 leased courses.
Net loss increased by $6 million to $11.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 compared to $5.1 million for the corresponding three
months of 1999. The increase in net loss was primarily due to lower
operating margins on a same course basis as a result of unfavorable weather
conditions in the southwest and eastern United States. In addition, while
the new leases described above contributed favorably to revenue, such
properties historically operate at lower margins in the first year of
operation.
(9) Subsequent Event
----------------
On April 18, 2000, the Board of Directors declared a distribution of $0.45
per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 to stockholders of record on
April 28, 2000, which distribution will be paid on May 15, 2000.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
- --------
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto. The forward-looking
statements included in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") relating to certain matters involve
risks and uncertainties, including anticipated financial performance, business
prospects, anticipated capital expenditures and other similar matters, which
reflect management's best judgement based on factors currently known. Actual
results and experience could differ materially from the anticipated results or
other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements as a
result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed in
MD&A.
The discussion of the results of operations compares the three months ended
March 31, 2000 with the three months ended March 31, 1999.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2000 to the three months ended
March 31, 1999
Net income decreased by $722,000 to $2,192,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2000 compared to $2,914,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The
decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in rent revenue of
approximately $6,655,000, which was offset by: (i) an increase in depreciation
and amortization expense of approximately $3,289,000; and (ii) an increase in
interest expense of approximately $4,146,000.
The increase in rent revenue was primarily attributable to: (i) the acquisition
of five golf course properties subsequent to March 31, 1999, which accounted for
approximately $522,000 of the increase; and (ii) a full three months of rent on
17 golf course properties, two long-term leasehold interests and three leasehold
rights acquired in the first quarter of 1999, which accounted for approximately
$5,911,000 of the increase; and (iii) the increase in base rents under the
leases with respect to the golf course properties owned at December 31, 1998,
which accounted for approximately $222,000 of the increase.
The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was due to an increase in
depreciation expense of approximately $2,760,000 and an increase in amortization
expense of approximately $529,000. The increase in depreciation expense was
primarily due to (i) the acquisition of five golf course properties subsequent
to March 31, 1999, which accounted for approximately $204,000 of the increase;
and (ii) a full three months of depreciation expense on 19 golf course
properties acquired in the first quarter of 1999, which accounted for
approximately $2,682,000 of the increase. The increase in amortization expense
was primarily due to the acquisition of two long-term leasehold interests and
three leasehold rights, which accounted for approximately $660,000 of the
increase.
The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the increase in
outstanding advances and LIBOR rate margin under the Company's credit facility.
On March 31, 1999, the Company's $100 million credit facility was terminated and
replaced with a $300 million credit facility. On July 30, 1999, the Company
amended its $300 million credit facility. The amended credit facility split the
$300 million
10
<PAGE>
revolving credit facility into (i) a $200 million revolver and (ii) a $100
million term note.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
At March 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $3.9 million in cash and
investments, mortgage notes receivable of approximately $21.5 million, mortgage
indebtedness of approximately $30.8 million and unsecured indebtedness of
approximately $429.4 million. The $460.2 million principal amount of mortgage
and unsecured indebtedness bears interest at a weighted average rate of 8.31%.
Of the $460.2 million of debt, $195.9 million is fixed rate debt and is payable
either monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually and matures between 2000
and 2008.
In order to maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust
("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the
Company is required to make substantial distributions to its stockholders. The
following factors, among others, will affect funds from operations and will
influence the decisions of the Board of Directors regarding distributions: (i)
increase in debt service resulting from additional indebtedness; (ii) scheduled
increases in base rent under the leases with respect to the golf courses; (iii)
any payment to the Company of percentage rent under the leases with respect to
the golf courses; and (iv) increase in preferred distributions resulting from
the issuance of cumulative redeemable preferred units, representing a limited
partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. Although the Company receives
most of its rental payments on a monthly basis, it has and intends to continue
to pay distributions quarterly.
The Company anticipates that its cash from operations and its bank line of
credit will provide adequate liquidity to conduct its operations, fund
administrative and operating costs, interest payments, capital improvements and
acquisitions and allow distributions to the Company's stockholders in accordance
with the Code's requirements for qualification as a REIT and to avoid any
corporate level federal income or excise tax. Capital improvements for which the
Company is responsible are limited to projects that the Company agreed to fund
at the time a property was acquired or projects subsequently identified by the
Company or its operators that enhance the revenue potential and long-term value
of a property. For golf courses acquired through May 5, 2000, the Company is
required under the leases to pay for various remaining capital improvements
totaling approximately $20.3 million, of which approximately $19.9 million will
be paid during the next two years. The Company believes these improvements will
add value to the golf courses and bring the quality of the golf courses up to
the Company's expected standards in order to enhance revenue growth. Upon the
Company's funding of the capital improvements, the base rent payable under the
leases with respect to these golf courses will be adjusted to reflect, over the
term of the leases, the Company's investment in such improvements.
Future acquisitions will be made subject to the Company's investment objectives
and policies established to maximize both current income and long-term growth in
income. The Company's liquidity requirements with respect to future acquisitions
may be reduced to the extent the Company uses common stock or Common Units as
consideration for such purchases.
On March 31, 2000, the Independent Directors waived the requirement that AGC
post and maintain an irrevocable letter of credit in an amount equal to
approximately $13.6 million, representing six months of base rent under the
leases at the time of the initial public offering in 1993.
11
<PAGE>
For the period January 1, 2000 through May 5, 2000, the Company purchased
interests in two golf courses for an aggregate initial investment of
approximately $10.9 million, which investments were financed by $1.5 million of
cash from operations, $4.7 million of advances under the Company's credit
facility, and $4.7 million of proceeds from sale of properties.
In September 1999, the Board of Directors authorized, subject to certain
business and market conditions, the purchase of up to $20 million of the
Company's common stock. At May 5, 2000 and March 31, 2000, the number of shares
purchased under this authorization was 444,800 for a total cost of approximately
$9.1 million. The shares repurchased are considered "authorized but unissued."
The limited partners of the Operating Partnership have the right, in each
twelve-month period ending on August 18, to sell up to one-third of their Common
Units or exchange up to the greater of 75,000 Common Units or one-third of their
Common Units to the Company. If the Common Units are sold for cash, the Company
will have the option to pay for such Common Units with available cash, borrowed
funds or from the proceeds of an offering of common stock. If the Common Units
are exchanged for shares of common stock, the limited partner will receive one
share of common stock for each Common Unit exchanged. In addition, a certain
limited partner was required within a specific period of time to exchange all
its Common Units into common stock. On March 14, 2000, such limited partner
exchanged all of its 1,250,000 Common Units for 1,250,000 shares of common
stock.
Other Data
- ----------
The Company believes that to facilitate a clear understanding of the historical
consolidated operating results, funds from operations should be examined in
conjunction with net income as presented in the Consolidated Financial
Statements. Funds from operations is considered by management as an appropriate
measure of the performance of an equity REIT because it is predicated on cash
flow analyses, which management believes is more reflective of the value of real
estate companies such as the Company rather than a measure predicated on GAAP
which gives effect to non-cash expenditures such as depreciation. Funds from
operations is generally defined as net income (loss) plus certain non-cash
items, primarily depreciation and amortization. Funds from operations should not
be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's
performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
The funds from operations presented may not be comparable to funds from
operations for other REITs. The following table summarizes the Company's funds
from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes, the Company is required to make distributions to its stockholders. The
Company's distributions to stockholders have been less than the total funds from
operations because the Company is obligated to make certain payments with
respect to principal debt and capital improvements. Management believes that to
continue the Company's growth, funds in excess of distributions, principal
reductions and capital improvement expenditures should be invested in assets
expected to generate returns on investment to the Company commensurate with the
Company's investment objectives and policies.
Inflation
- ---------
All the leases of the golf courses provide for base and participating rent
features. All of such leases are triple net leases requiring the lessees to pay
for all maintenance and repair, insurance, utilities and services, and, subject
to certain limited exceptions, all real estate taxes, thereby minimizing the
Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from
inflation.

Item 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The
Company has and will continue to manage interest rate risk by (1) maintaining a
conservative ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt to total debt such that
variable-rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level, (2) using interest rate
fixing strategies where appropriate to fix rates on anticipated debt
transactions, and (3) taking advantage of favorable market conditions for
long-term debt and/or equity.
The following table sets forth the Company's long-term debt obligations,
principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, and weighted average interest rates
at March 31, 2000 (dollars in thousands):

In addition, the Company has assessed the market risk for its variable-rate
debt and believes that a 1% increase in interest rates would have an approximate
$2.6 million increase in interest expense based on approximately $264.3 million
outstanding at March 31, 2000.
