AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 (Unaudited) 1. The information furnished reflects all adjustments of a recurring nature which management believes are necessary to a fair statement of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. 2. Due to the seasonal fluctuations of the bowling and golf club shaft manufacturing operations, the financial results for the interim periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, are not necessarily indicative of operations for the entire year. 3. Investments: (a) Investments consist of the following: September 30, June 30, 2002 2002 ----------- ----------- Vail Ranch Limited Partnership (equity method) ..............................$ 432,657 $ 423,657 =========== =========== Investment in UCV, L.P. classified as liability- Distributions received in excess of basis in investment ..............$18,226,081 $18,008,401 =========== =========== The following is a summary of the equity in income (loss) of the investments accounted for by the equity method: 2002 2001 -------- -------- UCV, L.P. .................... $ 37,675 $ 19,699 Vail Ranch Limited Partnership 9,000 (53,000) -------- -------- $ 46,675 $(33,301) ======== ======== The following is a summary of distributions received from investees: 2002 2001 -------- -------- UCV, L.P. .................... $242,000 $145,500 Vail Ranch Limited Partnership -- -- -------- -------- $242,000 $145,500 ======== ======== (b) Investment in UCV, L.P. The operating results of this investment are included in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of operations based upon the partnership's fiscal year (March 31). Summarized information from UCV, L.P.'s (UCV) unaudited statements of income for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are as follows: 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- Revenues ..................... $1,376,000 $1,329,000 Operating and general and administrative costs ....... 461,000 418,000 Depreciation ................. 3,000 3,000 Interest expense ............. 836,000 868,000 Net income ................... 76,000 40,000 4. Contingencies: The Company is involved in various routine litigation and disputes incident to its business. In management's opinion, based in part on the advice of legal counsel, none of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. 5 5. Business segment information: The Company operates principally in four business segments: bowling centers, commercial real estate rental, real estate development, and golf club shaft manufacturing. Other revenues, which are not part of an identified segment, consist of property management and development fees (earned from both a property 50 percent owned by the Company and a property in which the Company has no ownership) and commercial brokerage. The following is summarized information about the Company's operations by business segment. Real Estate Real Estate Unallocated Bowling Rental Development Golf And Other Totals ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002: -------------------------------------- Revenues ....................... $ 357,603 $ 17,976 $ -- $ 635,074 $ 90,052 $ 1,100,705 Depreciation and amortization... 6,099 13,355 -- 41,757 4,608 65,819 Interest expense ............... -- -- -- -- 33,648 33,648 Equity in income of investees .. -- 37,675 9,000 -- -- 46,675 Segment profit (loss) ..........

Impact of Adopting SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company does not have goodwill or intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives recorded on the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets. The Company only maintains intangible assets that have finite useful lives which are amortized over their useful lives. 7. Liquidity The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses, has a working capital deficiency, and is forecasting negative cash flows for the next twelve months. These items raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on either refinancing or selling certain real estate assets, obtaining additional investors in its subsidiary, Penley Sports, or increases in the sales volume of Penley Sports. The consolidated condensed financial statements do not contain adjustments, if any, including diminished recovery of asset carrying amounts, that could arise from forced dispositions and other insolvency costs. 6 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL ---------------------------------------------------------- CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: ----------------------------------- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ------------------------------- The independent auditors' report dated September 23, 2002 included in our June 30, 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K contained the following explanatory paragraph: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses, has a working capital deficiency and shareholders' deficit, and is forecasting negative cash flows from operating activities for the next twelve months. These items raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 14. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management estimates negative cash flow of $500,000 to $700,000 in total for the remaining three quarters of the year ending June 30, 2003 from operating activities after deducting capital expenditures and principal payments on notes payable and adding estimated distributions from UCV. The short-term loan from the Company's partner in UCV is due on demand. The Company is exploring selling its partner a portion of the Company's interest in UCV in satisfaction of the remaining loan obligations. At this point management is unable to assess the likelihood a transaction will be consummated. Vail Ranch Limited Partners is negotiating the sale of its partnership interest in Temecula Creek Partners to its other partner in Temecula Creek. The Company estimates that its share of the proceeds from this sale to be approximately $550,0000 to $650,000. The Company is obligated to pay approximately one-half of these proceeds to its minority partner. Management expects continuing cash flow deficits until Penley Sports develops sufficient sales volume to become profitable. Although, there can be no assurances that Penley Sports will ever achieve profitable operations, management estimates that a combination of continued increases in the sales of Penley Sports and reduction of its operating costs will result in Penley Sports and the Company achieving a breakeven level of operations at the end of the next two quarters. Management is currently evaluating other sources of working capital including the sale of assets or obtaining additional investors in Penley Sports. Management has not assessed the likelihood of any other sources of long-term or short-term liquidity. If the Company is not successful in obtaining other sources of working capital this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. However, management believes it will be able to meet its financial obligations for the next twelve months. The Company has a working capital deficit of $929,848 at September 30, 2002, which is a $244,552 increase from the working capital deficit of $685,296 at June 30, 2002. The increase in working capital deficit is primarily attributable to the cash used by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The following is a schedule of the cash provided (used) before changes in assets and liabilities, segregated by business segments: 2002 2001 Change ---------- ---------- ---------- Bowling ................... $ (68,000) $ (51,000) $ (17,000) Rental ....................

(500,000) (604,000) 104,000 ========== ========== ========== Distributions received from investees ............... 242,000 146,000 96,000 ========== ========== ========== 7 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES ---------------------------- In response to the SEC's release No. 33-8040, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies", the Company has identified its most critical accounting policy as that related to the carrying value of its long-lived assets. Any event or circumstance that indicates to the Company an impairment of the fair value of any asset is recorded in the period in which such event or circumstance becomes known to the Company. During the quarter ended September 30, 2002 no such event or circumstance occurred that would, in the opinion of management, signify the need for a material reduction in the carrying value of any of the Company's assets. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ----------------------------- In June of 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. This statement will only have an effect on the Company's financial statements to the extent future exit or disposal activities relevant to SFAS No. 146 occur. "SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 ---------------------------------------------------- With the exception of historical information (information relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations at historical dates or for historical periods), the matters discussed in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are forward- looking statements that necessarily are based on certain assumptions and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based on management's expectations as of the date hereof, and the Company does not undertake any responsibility to update any of these statements in the future. Actual future performance and results could differ from that contained in or suggested by these forward-looking statements as a result of the factors set forth in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- The following is a summary of the changes in the results of operations of the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 to the same period in 2001 and a discussion of the significant changes: Rental Real Estate Unallocated Bowling Operation Development Golf And Other Totals --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Revenues ........................ $ (26,218) $ (40,883) $ -- $ 190,851 $ 5,844 129,594 Costs ........................... (4,154) (40,010) -- 147,192 -- 103,028 SG&A-direct ..................... (3,515) -- -- (49,706) (22,789) (76,010) SG&A-allocated ..................

(20,949) 17,577 67,000 93,382 22,720 179,730 Investment income ............... 492 Net loss ....................... 180,222 BOWLING OPERATIONS: ------------------- Bowl revenues decreased by 7% primarily due to a 14% decrease in the number of games bowled. This decrease was almost identical for both open and league play. This decrease was offset by a 9% increase in the average price of games bowled. 8 RENTAL OPERATIONS: ------------------ This segment includes the equity in income of the operation of a 542 unit apartment project (UCV), a subleasehold interest in land underlying a condominium project (PS Sublease) (which was sold in March 2002), and the sublease of a portion of the Penley factory. The following is a summary of the changes in operations: 2002 vs. 2001 -------------------------------------- PS Sublease Other Combined ---------- ---------- ---------- Revenues .................. $ (41,459) $ 576 $ (40,883) Costs ..................... (40,710) 700 (40,010) SG&A-allocated ............ -- -- -- Depreciation and amortization ........... (474) -- (474) Interest expense .......... -- -- -- Equity in income of UCV ... -- 17,976 17,976 Segment profit (loss) ..... (275) 17,852 17,577 The primary reason for the decline in rental revenues and costs related to the sale of the PS Sublease in March 2002. The equity in income of UCV increased by $18,000 in 2002 primarily due to a decrease in interest expense related to the lower interest rate applicable to the refinancing in March 2002. The following is a summary of the changes in the operations of UCV, LP in 2002 compared to the prior period: Revenues .............................. $ 47,000 Costs ................................. 43,000 Depreciation .......................... -- Interest and amortization of loan costs (32,000) Net income ............................ 36,000 Rental income of UCV increased primarily due to a 6% increase in the average rental rate. This increase was partially offset by an increase in the vacancy for the period from 1.4 percent to 2.9 percent. REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT OPERATIONS: ----------------------------------- The increase in the equity in income of Vail Ranch Limited Partners (VRLP), relates to the increase in the income from the operation of the partially completed shopping center for which the first store commenced operations in July 2000 and is now reaching a level of stabilzed operations after being leased up. GOLF OPERATIONS: ---------------- Golf revenues increased in 2002 due to increases in sales to small golf club manufacturers and golf equipment distributors. The following is a breakdown of the percentage of sales by customer category: 2002 2001 ---- ---- Golf equipment distributors . 35% 23% Small golf club manufacturers 28% 16% Golf shops .................. 29% 48% Other ....................... 8% 13% 9 Operating expenses of the golf segment consisted of the following in 2002 and 2001: 2002 2001 Decrease ---------- ---------- ---------- Costs of sales and manufacturing overhead . $ 598,000 $ 440,000 $ 158,000 Research and development .. 48,000 59,000 (11,000) ---------- ---------- ---------- Total golf costs ....... 646,000 499,000 147,000 ========== ========== ========== Marketing and promotion ... 178,000 266,000 (88,000) Administrative costs- direct 79,000 41,000 38,000 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total SG&A-direct ....... 257,000 307,000 (50,000) ========== ========== ========== Total golf costs increased in 2002 primarily due to the cost of goods sold and other manufacturing overhead (primarily payroll) associated with increased sales. Marketing and promotion expenses decreased primarily due to the Company not renewing the contract with its marketing consultant in May 2002 ($43,000 decrease). Marketing and promotion otherwise decreased due to a decrease in the tour program expenses that resulted from staffing the program with one person instead of two. Administrative expenses increased primarily due to $23,000 increase in bad debt expense. ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK ------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company is exposed to market risk primarily due to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company utilizes both fixed rate and variable rate debt. The following table presents principal maturities and related weighted average interest rates of the Company's long-term fixed rate and variable rate debt for the fiscal years ended June 30. 2003 2004 Total Fair Value ---------- ------- ---------- ---------- (1) Fixed rate debt .. $ 5,000 $ 6,000 $ 11,000 $ 11,000 Weighted average interest rate . 13.6% 13.6% 13.6% Variable rate debt $ 726,000 -- $ 726,000 $ 726,000 Weighted average interest rate . 5.8% -- 5.8% The amounts for 2003 relate to the nine months ending June 30, 2003. (1)The fair value of fixed-rate debt and variable-rate debt were estimated based on the current rates offered for fixed-rate debt and variable-rate debt with similar risks and maturities. The variable rate debt includes a $726,000 short term note payable that is due on demand, which for purposes of this calculation has been treated as though paid during the year ending June 30, 2003. The Company's unconsolidated subsidiary, UCV, has two notes payable which mature April 1, 2003 as a result of a refinancing in March 2002. The first loan is variable rate debt of $36,000,000 for which the interest rate was 5.4 percent as of June 30, 2002. However, there is a floor of 5.4% established by the lender and a cap purchased by UCV which effectively caps the maximum rate on this loan at 7%. The scheduled principal payments for UCV's fiscal years ending March 31 2003 is $36,000,000. The estimated fair value of this debt is $36,000,000 based on the current rates offered for this type of loan with similar risks and maturities. The second loan of $2,000,000 is fixed rate debt at 12.5%. The scheduled principal payments for UCV's fiscal years ending March 31 2003 is $2,000,000. The estimated fair value of this debt is $2,000,000 based on the current rates offered for this type of loan with similar risks and maturities. The Company does not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative or trading purposes. 10 ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES ------------------------------- We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-4(c)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures, Within 90 days prior to the date of this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Changes in Internal Controls: There have not been any significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore no corrective actions were taken. PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
