PART I


This Form 10-K contains certain “forward-looking statements,” including statements regarding, among other items, the Company’s growth strategy, industry and demographic trends, the Company’s ability to finance its operations and anticipated trends in its business.  Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the Company’s need for additional financing, intense competition in various aspects of its business, its dependence on key personnel, general economic conditions, government and regulatory actions, the impact of our announcement of our voluntary filing under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and of subsequent announcements related to the proceedings, the ability to continue as a going concern, the ability to obtain court approval of our motions in the Chapter 11 proceedings, the ability to develop, pursue, confirm and consummate one or more plans or joint plans of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 case, the ability to complete a sale of most of our assets to a third party, our ability to obtain and maintain normal terms with vendors and service providers and other factors discussed in this document and in the Company’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements and no assurances can be given that such statements will be achieved.  The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any of the forward-looking statements contained herein.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filings

On March 2, 2009 (the “Petition Date”), ILX Resorts Incorporated (“ILX” or the “Company”) and fifteen of its subsidiaries and limited liability companies (“the Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“the Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona (“the Bankruptcy Court”).  The cases are being jointly administered under Case Number 2:09-BK-03594-RTB.  The Company cannot provide any assurance as to what values, if any, will be ascribed in the bankruptcy proceedings to various pre-petition liabilities, common stock and other securities. Accordingly, caution should be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in any of these liabilities or securities. Trading of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE AMEX exchange was suspended on March 2, 2009 and the stock was subsequently delisted on March 13, 2009.

Reporting Requirements

As a result of its bankruptcy filing, the Company is periodically required to file various documents with and provide certain information to, the Bankruptcy Court, including statements of financial affairs, schedules of assets and liabilities and monthly operating reports in forms prescribed by federal bankruptcy law, as well as certain financial information on an unconsolidated basis. Such materials are prepared according to requirements of federal bankruptcy law.  While they accurately provide then-current information required under federal bankruptcy law, they are nonetheless unconsolidated, unaudited and are prepared in a format different from that used in the Company’s consolidated financial statements filed under the securities laws.  Accordingly, the Company believes that the substance and format do not allow meaningful comparison with its regular publicly disclosed consolidated financial statements.  Moreover, the materials filed with the Bankruptcy Court are not prepared for the purpose of providing a basis for an investment decision relating to the Company’s securities, or for comparison with other financial information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Reasons for Bankruptcy

The Debtor’s Chapter 11 filings were due to prevailing economic conditions and unanticipated reductions in credit facilities caused by instability in the credit markets.

Motions

The Bankruptcy Court has approved various motions for relief designed to allow the Company to continue normal operations.  The Bankruptcy Court’s orders authorize the Debtors, among other things, in their discretion to: a) pay certain pre-petition and post-petition employee wages, salaries and benefits and other employee obligations, b) pay vendors in the ordinary course for goods and services received from and after the Petition Date, c) continue maintenance of existing bank accounts and existing cash management systems, and d) use certain cash collateral.

Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company may assume or reject certain unexpired leases subject to the Bankruptcy Court’s approval and certain other conditions.  As of the filing date of this report, the Debtors have filed motions to reject seven operating leases; all of which have been granted.  Various other filings have been made with respect to utilities, third party servicing firms, professional firm engagements and contract approvals.

Notifications

Shortly after the Petition Date, the Debtors began notifying all known current or potential creditors of the Chapter 11 filing.  The Debtors’ Chapter 11 filing automatically enjoined, or stayed, the continuation of any judicial or administrative proceeding or other actions against the Debtors or their property to recover on, collect or secure a claim arising prior to the Petition Date.  Vendors are being paid for goods and services provided after the Petition Date in the ordinary course of business.  The deadline for the filing of proofs of claims against the Debtors was September 15, 2009.

Proofs of Claim

As permitted under the bankruptcy process, certain of the Debtors’ creditors filed proofs of claim with the Bankruptcy Court.  The total amount of the claims that were filed far exceed the Company’s estimate of ultimate liability.  The Debtors believe some of these claims are invalid because they are duplicative, have been amended or superseded by later filed claims, are based on contingencies that have not occurred, or are inaccurate or not valid.  Differences in amounts between claims filed by creditors and liabilities shown in our records are being investigated and will be resolved in connection with our claims resolution process.  There can be no assurances at this time that the Company will not continue to record adjustments related to the ultimate amount of claims allowed.

Executory Contracts and Determination of Allowed Claims

Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases.  Claims may arise as a result of rejecting any executory contract or unexpired lease.  As mentioned above, the Debtors have rejected seven operating leases.  The consolidated financial statements do not include the effects of any claims from the rejection of these as the Company cannot estimate the amount that will be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court.

Plan of Reorganization

The Debtors had the exclusive right for 120 days after the Petition Date to file a plan of reorganization and an additional 60 days to obtain necessary acceptances of the plan. Due to ongoing discussions with the Company’s primary lender, a motion to extend exclusivity for an additional 45 days was filed and approved in June 2009.  A second motion to extend exclusivity was granted, the Debtors filed a plan of reorganization and disclosure statement on August 28, 2009 and in September the Court extended the Debtors exclusive right to obtain necessary acceptances of the plan to December 1, 2009. The Debtor filed an Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (“the Plan”) and First Amended Joint Disclosure Statement (“the Disclosure Statement”) on October 2, 2009.  Also on October 2, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered its order approving the Disclosure Statement and establishing the solicitation and voting procedures for the Debtors’ Plan.  The creditors and equity holders’ votes for or against, and any objections to the Debtors’ Plan were required to be filed on or before November 2, 2009.  The confirmation hearing on the Debtors’ Plan was scheduled for November 10 and 12, 2009.  The Company’s primary lender filed a Motion for Relief From Automatic Stay Regarding Debtors’ Real and Personal Property on August 15, 2009.  The hearing on this motion was scheduled to be held in conjunction with the Plan confirmation hearing on November 10 and 12, 2009.  The Debtors and their primary lender asked for an extension on November 12, 2009 until January 7, 2010 in order to work together on a mutually acceptable plan of reorganization.  In January 2010, the Debtors and their primary lender reached an agreement, stipulated to the terms of the agreement in the bankruptcy court, and are now working together on a Joint Plan of Reorganization (“Joint Plan”) in which most of the Debtors assets will be sold to a third party.

A plan of reorganization will be deemed accepted by holders of claims against and equity interests in the Debtors if (1) at least one-half in number and two-thirds in dollar amount of claims actually voting in each impaired class of claims have voted to accept the plan and (2) at least two-thirds in amount of equity interests actually voting in each impaired class of equity interests has voted to accept the plan.

Under the priority classification established by the Bankruptcy Code, unless creditors agree otherwise, pre and post petition liabilities must be satisfied in full before stockholders are entitled to receive any distribution under a plan of reorganization.  While the Joint Plan anticipates some payment to all creditors and payment by the primary lender to holders of outstanding common stock of ILX Resort Incorporated, the ultimate treatment of creditors and stockholders will not be determined until confirmation of a plan of reorganization.  No assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be ascribed in the Chapter 11 cases to each of these groups or what types or amounts of distributions, if any, they would receive.  A plan of reorganization could result in holders of the Debtors’ liabilities and/or securities, including common stock, receiving no distribution on account of their interests and cancellation of their holdings.

There can be no assurance at this time that the Company will be able to sell most of its assets to a third party or that it can restructure as a going concern, that the Joint Plan or Plan will be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, or that any plan will be implemented successfully.

Reorganization Costs

The Debtors have incurred and will continue to incur significant costs associated with their reorganization.  The amount of these costs, which are being expensed as incurred, have affected and are expected to continue to significantly affect the Debtors’ liquidity and results of operations.  See Note 3 “Reorganization Items” for additional information.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Debtors’ proposed Joint Plan contemplates a sale of most assets to a third party and does not contemplate that the Company will continue as a going concern.  If the proposed sale does not occur, the ability of the Company, both during and after the Chapter 11 case, to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, a) the ability of the Company to successfully achieve required cost savings to complete its restructuring; b) the ability of the Company to maintain adequate liquidity; c) the ability of the Company to generate cash from operations; d) the ability of the Company to collect customer note balances; e) the ability of the Company to confirm a plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code and f) the Company’s ability to achieve and maintain profitability.  Uncertainty as to the outcome of these factors raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  A confirmed plan could materially change the amounts currently disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

Item 1.  Business

The Company

ILX is one of the leading developers, marketers and operators of timeshare resorts in the western United States.  The Company’s principal operations consist of (i) acquiring, developing and operating timeshare resorts, marketed by the Company as vacation ownership resorts, (ii) marketing and selling vacation ownership interests in the timeshare resorts, which typically have entitled the buyers thereof to ownership of a fully-furnished unit for a one-week period on either an annual or an alternate year (i.e., biennial) basis (“Vacation Ownership Interests”), and (iii) providing purchase money financing to the buyers of Vacation Ownership Interests at its resorts.  In addition, the Company receives revenues from the rental of the unused or unsold inventory of units at its vacation ownership resorts, from the operating portion of homeowner dues from owners of Vacation Ownership Interests and from the sale of food, beverages and other services at such resorts.  The Company’s current portfolio of resorts consists of seven resorts in Arizona, one in Indiana, one in Colorado, one in San Carlos, Mexico, and land in Puerto Peñasco (“Rocky Point”), Mexico and Sedona, Arizona (collectively, the “ILX resorts”).  The Company also has interests in 2,241 weeks at the Carriage House in Las Vegas, Nevada, 176 weeks at the Scottsdale Camelback Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona and 194 weeks in the Roundhouse Resort in Pinetop, Arizona.

At December 31, 2009, the ILX resorts represented an aggregate of 591 units and 33,273 sold and unsold one-week Vacation Ownership Interests, including the following which have been annexed into Premiere Vacation Club: 1,500 one-week 25-year right-to-use Sea of Cortez Premiere Vacation Club Vacation Ownership Interests in San Carlos, Mexico, 194 weeks in the Roundhouse Resort in Pinetop/Lakeside, Arizona, 2,233 weeks in the Carriage House in Las Vegas, Nevada, and 174 weeks at the Scottsdale Camelback Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona.  The Company also holds additional interests, which consisted, at December 31, 2009, of an aggregate of approximately 10 Vacation Ownership Interests in destination resorts owned by others and located in Arizona and Nevada (collectively, the “Additional Interests”), including 8 in the Carriage House and 2 in Scottsdale Camelback Resort which have not yet been annexed to Premiere Vacation Club.

The Company was founded in 1986 and commenced implementation of its current operating and growth strategies in the fourth quarter of 1991.  During the period from December 31, 1991 through December 31, 2009, the Company increased the number of ILX resorts from two to ten (excluding the Roundhouse Resort, the Carriage House and Scottsdale Camelback Resort), and increased its total inventory of sold and unsold Vacation Ownership Interests from 9,915 weeks to 33,283 weeks (including the Sea of Cortez Premiere Vacation Club, the Roundhouse Resort, the Carriage House and the Scottsdale Camelback Resort Vacation Ownership Interests).  The Company’s total revenues, excluding estimated uncollectible revenue, increased from $6.1 million in 1991 to $33.6 million in 2009. During this period, the Company’s growth was fueled principally by the acquisition, redevelopment and expansion of certain ILX resorts and the marketing, sale and financing of Vacation Ownership Interests in these resorts.  The Company believes it was able to purchase the ILX resorts and the Additional Interests at relatively attractive prices and/or terms because of its skill in locating, identifying and acquiring distressed or underdeveloped resorts and undervalued Vacation Ownership Interests. The Company successfully utilized this strategy in connection with the acquisition of the Los Abrigados Resort & Spa in Sedona, Arizona (186 units including the adjacent Celebrity House and the Winner’s Circle suites), the Kohl’s Ranch Lodge in Payson, Arizona (66 units), the Premiere Vacation Club at Bell Rock in the Village of Oak Creek near Sedona, Arizona (85 units), Rancho Mañana Resort in Cave Creek, Arizona (14 units), Premiere Vacation Club at the Roundhouse Resort in Pinetop/Lakeside, Arizona (21 units), the 1,500 Vacation Ownership Interests in San Carlos, Mexico, the 2,241 Vacation Ownership Interests at the Carriage House in Las Vegas, Nevada, the 194 Vacation Ownership Interests at the Roundhouse Resort in Pinetop/Lakeside, Arizona and the 176 weeks at the Scottsdale Camelback Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Utilizing management’s development expertise, the Company developed and implemented the Varsity Clubs concept.  This concept entails ground-up development of urban vacation ownership properties strategically situated in destinations that are accessible to major population centers near prominent colleges and universities.  The first Varsity Clubs, VCA–South Bend, consisting of 86 units, is located approximately three miles from the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.  The second Varsity Clubs, VCA–Tucson, consisting of 60 units, is located approximately three miles from the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona.  The scope of the Company’s activities since 1991 have enabled the Company’s management team, which has significant experience in the vacation ownership resort and real estate development industries, to establish substantial in-house capabilities in areas critical to the Company’s operating and growth strategies, including property identification and acquisition, property development and rehabilitation, operation of resort properties and Vacation Ownership Interest sales and marketing.

The Company’s primary operating strategy focuses on marketing Vacation Ownership Interests in the Company’s convenient access resorts (“CARs”) and, in addition, affinity marketing of its Varsity Clubs.  CARs are typically high-quality vacation ownership resorts situated in settings of natural beauty or other special locations and within convenient and inexpensive traveling distance from major population centers (currently Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas and Denver).  In a 2008 study developed for Interval International (“II”), from data collected for the Ypartnership/Yankelovich, Inc. 2008 National Leisure Travel MONITOR, prospective timeshare buyers preferred their personal or rental automobile with 84% using their personal or rental automobile on vacation in the past year.  The Company’s CARs are intended to facilitate more frequent “short-stay” getaways, which the Company believes is an increasingly popular vacation trend.  This belief is confirmed in the previously noted II study that indicates 72% of prospective timeshare buyers took a weekend trip in the last 12 months. To the extent Varsity Clubs resorts are located proximate to major population centers, such resorts may also be CARs.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company operated ten resorts consisting of 577 units and held 8,135.5 unsold Vacation Ownership Interests in those resorts, inclusive of unsold interests in Premiere Vacation Club and exclusive of certain interests recovered through the write off of certain notes receivable.  Third parties operate the Rancho Mañana Resort, the Roundhouse Resort, the Carriage House and Scottsdale Camelback Resort.  The Company’s inventory of CARs has been marketed primarily by ILX employees at the Company’s on-site sales offices located at selected ILX resorts.

Historically the Company had primarily marketed Vacation Ownership Interests in individual ILX resorts.  Commencing in June 1998, the Company began marketing much of its inventory of CARs through membership interests in its proprietary branded Premiere Vacation Club. Premiere Vacation Club offers purchasers a deeded one-week membership interest that may be used at any time between certain specified dates at any one of the destinations included in Premiere Vacation Club, or may be split into multiple stays of shorter duration at any combination of such resorts.  Vacation Ownership Interests in individual ILX resorts and in Premiere Vacation Club may be exchanged for stays at other resorts through the major national exchange networks in which ILX owners may participate, such as II and Resort Condominiums International (“RCI”).  Due to the resort amenities and attractive seasons, the Company’s inventory of Vacation Ownership Interests trade well in such exchange networks.  The Company designed Premiere Vacation Club to respond to customer preferences for flexible use options (e.g., floating days, two-day uses and the ability to split a purchased membership interest), locations within convenient driving distances from major metropolitan areas and other features (e.g., high quality amenities, natural beauty and food and beverage discounts at participating ILX resorts).

In addition to marketing through Premiere Vacation Club, the Company holds the right to expand its proprietary branded Varsity Clubs concept.  Such expansion would focus on development of additional Varsity Clubs in areas with a significant base of existing tourism and access to major population centers, which are located near prominent colleges and universities in the western United States.  The Company presently has two Varsity Clubs, its prototype Varsity Clubs property, VCASouth Bend, located near the University of Notre Dame and its second Varsity Clubs, VCA–Tucson, located near the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona.  Future Varsity Clubs would be developed at attractive locations for visiting tourists who may rent accommodations or purchase a Vacation Ownership Interest from the Company.  In connection with the purchase of a Vacation Ownership Interest, Varsity Clubs offer area residents an urban “city club” experience with unlimited day-use privileges, as well as the opportunity to participate in the II Vacation Ownership Interest exchange network.  The Company believes that Varsity Clubs offer features common to a “city club,” including a fitness center, swimming pool, bar, restaurant/lounge, billiards and large sitting/welcome room.  In addition, the Varsity Clubs concept enables the Company to enlarge the Company’s target list of potential purchasers by utilizing an identification with the local university to market Vacation Ownership Interests to alumni, sports season ticket holders, parents of university students and corporate sponsors of university events, among others, who attend the sporting, academic and cultural events regularly hosted by various universities.  The Company believes that direct marketing to a large target base of potential purchasers with university affiliations may enable the Company to achieve premium pricing with respect to those portions of its inventory which coincide with high demand for accommodations at prominent university-sponsored events.  The Company also believes that its success in gaining access to alumni and other targeted potential purchasers with relationships to the University of Notre Dame or the University of Arizona may facilitate similar arrangements with other universities in the areas in which future Varsity Clubs could be developed.

During 2009, the Company sold 1,003 annual and biennial Vacation Ownership Interests at the ILX resorts, compared to 1,342 during 2008.  The average sales price for a Vacation Ownership Interest (excluding sales of Upgrades) was $12,541 for an annual interest and $8,567 for a biennial interest, resulting in a weighted average price of $14,459 (each biennial interest is treated as one-half of an annual interest) during the year ended December 31, 2009 and $15,606 for an annual interest and $8,935 for a biennial interest, resulting in a weighted average price of $16,895 during the year ended December 31, 2008.  Upgrades are sales to existing owners of Vacation Ownership Interests in the ILX resorts and may consist of the exchange of their Vacation Ownership Interest for a higher demand season; a larger unit; or for Premiere Vacation Club; for which the customer pays an additional fee.  At December 31, 2009, the Company had an existing inventory of 8,135.5 unsold Vacation Ownership Interests (including Additional Interests and the unsold interests in Premiere Vacation Club but excluding certain interests recovered through the write off of certain notes receivable).

At December 31, 2009, 7,464 of the 25,700 Premiere Vacation Club Vacation Ownership Interests were available for sale.  Premiere Vacation Club is affiliated with II and memberships in Premiere Vacation Club are offered for sale at each of the Company’s sales offices.  If the Joint Plan is confirmed, the Company would sell its rights with respect to interests in Premiere Vacation Club.

Land

In June 2005, the Company acquired approximately 2.1 acres of land in Puerto Peñasco (“Rocky Point”), Mexico.  The Company intends to sell this land as part of the Joint Plan.

The Company, together with James Bruno Enterprises LLC (“Bruno”), formed ILX-Bruno in August 2005 to purchase and develop three parcels approximating 22 acres of land in Sedona, Arizona.  The Company holds an 85% interest in ILX–Bruno.  In October 2005, ILX–Bruno completed the acquisition of two parcels of the land and acquired the third parcel in June 2006.  The Company would surrender this land to lenders as part of the Joint Plan and Plan.

Operating Strategies

The Company’s operating strategy seeks to emphasize the following characteristics, which management believes provide ILX with certain competitive advantages within the vacation ownership industry.

Flexible Vacation Ownership Interest Purchase Options.  The Company believes the flexibility associated with its inventory of Vacation Ownership Interests provides a uniquely appealing opportunity for ILX owners.  Substantially all of the Company’s inventory of Vacation Ownership Interests at the ILX resorts are intended to be used on dates specified from time to time by the ILX owner within a broad range of available dates and not fixed at the time of purchase.  Purchasers of a Vacation Ownership Interest in the Company’s proprietary branded Premiere Vacation Club are entitled to use their Vacation Ownership Interest at a single resort in Premiere Vacation Club or may split up their Vacation Ownership Interest according to the owner’s needs and preferences at one or more of any number of participating resorts, as well as thousands of other resorts through the domestic and international exchange programs in which ILX owners participate.  In addition, Vacation Ownership Interests at Varsity Clubs may be purchased for highly desirable single-day uses, a collection of single days (such as designated days during an entire football or other sports season) or other packages suited to meet each ILX owner’s preferences.

Customer Satisfaction.  The Company believes that its inventory of highly desirable resorts with extensive amenities, combined with flexible purchase options have resulted in a high level of customer satisfaction.  Each of the ILX resorts is located in an area with unique tourist attractions and most offer food, beverage and other amenities comparable to full-service commercial lodging facilities, with discounted prices extended to ILX owners at the facilities it operates.  As a result, the Company believes ILX owners generally have a high level of satisfaction, resulting in additional purchases and increased goodwill.  The Company capitalizes upon this by directing a portion of its marketing efforts towards sales of Vacation Ownership Interests to existing ILX owners.

Enhanced Amenities.  Each of the ILX resorts (except the Premiere Vacation Club at the Roundhouse Resort and the Premiere Vacation Club at Bell Rock) has at least one full-service restaurant and other food and beverage facilities in addition to a range of other amenities typically found at high quality resorts.  Many resorts offering Vacation Ownership Interests have none or only limited restaurant and other food and beverage facilities.  As a result, management believes ILX owners appreciate the ability to enjoy traditional full-service commercial hotel amenities and also maintain the option to use more economical in-room facilities.  See “The Resorts.”

Demonstrated Ability to Acquire and Develop Properties.  The Company has historically been successful at acquiring resorts in settings of natural beauty at relatively low costs.  The Company’s acquisition strategy is to identify underutilized or distressed properties in locations with high tourist appeal and access to major metropolitan centers.  Thereafter, the Company’s redevelopment efforts are primarily targeted at improving the amenities and appointments of such properties.  The Company has successfully developed its prototype Varsity Clubs of America resort, VCA–South Bend, and a second Varsity Clubs facility, VCA–Tucson.  The Company believes that its acquisition and development strategies have resulted in a portfolio of desirable properties with a relatively low cost of product as a percentage of sales.

Convenient Access Resorts.  The Company’s CARs are located within a two-hour drive of many ILX owners’ principal residences, which accommodates a demand for more frequent and convenient “short-stay” vacations without the costs and difficulties of air travel.  This proximity also facilitates marketing of the Company’s Premiere Vacation Club, which permits members to divide their Vacation Ownership Interest into shorter stays at the various properties included in Premiere Vacation Club (including Varsity Clubs) or exchange their entire interest during any year through an exchange network.  In addition to the use of their Vacation Ownership Interest, owners who have purchased from ILX are also entitled to day-use of the offered amenities and discounted food, beverage and other services at their individual ILX resort or, in the case of Premiere Vacation Club members, at ILX resorts included in Premiere Vacation Club, with some exceptions, thereby facilitating use and enhancing the benefits of ownership by ILX owners.

Standard Design, Lower Construction and Operating Costs of Varsity Clubs.  The Company’s Varsity Clubs concept is based upon its VCA–South Bend prototype.  While each Varsity Club may have aspects uniquely tailored to its targeted customer base, the Company believes that its standard architectural and interior designs for Varsity Clubs will significantly reduce associated development and construction costs.  Standardization will also allow the Company to develop new Varsity Clubs and integrate new resorts in response to demand.  The Company anticipates that new Varsity Clubs, where entitlements are in place, can be constructed within one year from acquisition of the underlying real property.

Premium Locations.  The Company believes that the variety and natural beauty of the surroundings for its CARs enhance their attraction to customers.  Substantially all of the ILX resorts are located in the western United States, in part because of the numerous locations in that region which are attractive to tourists and convenient to major metropolitan areas.  Due to the resort amenities and attractive seasons, the Company’s inventory of Vacation Ownership Interests trade well in exchange networks such as II and RCI.

Integrated In-House Operations.  Substantially all of the Company’s marketing, sales, development, property management, and financing operations are conducted internally, except certain minimal marketing functions and processing of customer payments and certain collection activities related to promissory notes given by ILX owners as partial payment for a Vacation Ownership Interest (“Customer Notes”).  In addition, the Company operates all of the ILX resorts on a centralized basis, with operating and maintenance costs paid from ILX owners’ dues as well as hotel rental revenues.  The Company believes that its internal capabilities result in greater control and consistency of all phases of its operations that may result in lower overall costs and/or customer satisfaction than generally associated with outsourcing such operations.  Such integration also facilitates the Company’s Premiere Vacation Club and the ILX resorts’ qualification in the II and RCI exchange networks, among others.

Directed Marketing.  The Company’s marketing strategy with respect to its Premiere Vacation Club is to target potential customers who have a demonstrated interest in the location of its ILX resorts or a likelihood of frequent travel.  The Company’s marketing activities primarily offer travel-related inducements (such as discounted or complimentary vacations at nearby ILX resorts or at non-affiliated hotels in popular destinations or discounted or complimentary area activities to visitors to its resort destinations).  By offering travel-related inducements, the Company believes it is better able to identify customers who like to travel, which results in a higher percentage of sales per contact than other promotions.  In addition, the Company developed its proprietary Varsity Clubs of America concept to capitalize upon affinity marketing strategies.  The Company believes that a high-quality “city club” experience combined with the traditional benefits associated with Vacation Ownership Interests, such as the opportunity to participate in exchange networks, will appeal to consumers in the local markets of each Varsity Club.  Further, the Varsity Clubs concept is intended to take advantage of a marketing base of alumni, sports enthusiasts, parents of students, corporate sponsors and others affiliated with each university next to which a Varsity Clubs will be developed.  The Company believes that these marketing strategies permit it to take advantage of existing affinities, resulting in a positive impact on closings per customer contacts.

    Premiere Vacation Club

Sales of Vacation Ownership Interests in Premiere Vacation Club commenced in June 1998.  Purchasers are offered deeded membership interests that provide rights to accommodations which may be used each use year in their entirety at one time or may be divided into shorter stays at one or a variety of the Company’s resorts or may be exchanged through a participating exchange network.  The Company’s Premiere Vacation Club emphasizes CARs (i) that facilitate short-stay vacations with relatively low cost and time associated with travel to the ILX resort, (ii) located near settings of natural beauty, (iii) with high quality amenities and resort services and (iv) that facilitate flexible use options.  The Company also markets membership interests in its Premiere Vacation Club to existing ILX owners, thereby expanding its sales volume without increasing its sales and marketing costs in the same proportion as generally associated with sales to first-time buyers.

Initially, the Company’s Premiere Vacation Club inventory consisted of Vacation Ownership Interests in the ILX resorts.  New resorts could be added through the Company’s pursuit of selected acquisition opportunities, as occurred with the addition of the 1,500 one-week 25-year right-to-use Vacation Ownership Interests in Sea of Cortez Premiere Vacation Club in San Carlos, Mexico, the 717 Vacation Ownership Interests in Rancho Mañana Resort, 2,233 Vacation Ownership Interests in the Carriage House in Las Vegas and 174 Vacation Ownership Interests in Scottsdale Camelback Resort.  By marketing its inventory of Vacation Ownership Interests through Premiere Vacation Club, the Company believes it has greater flexibility with respect to potential acquisition opportunities than generally associated with the sale of Vacation Ownership Interests in a single vacation resort, to the extent that small or remote resorts which may be inefficient to market as a single location resort may enhance the consumer appeal of a membership interest in Premiere Vacation Club.  With its existing resorts in Arizona, Nevada and Mexico, the Company has built a critical mass of CARs within driving distance of the Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan markets.  Further capitalizing on the flexibility of Premiere Vacation Club, the Company has an agreement with Scottsdale Camelback Resort whereby Premiere Vacation Club members may utilize the resort’s facilities on a day-use basis, thereby enhancing the benefits of ownership in Premiere Vacation Club, particularly to members residing in metropolitan Phoenix.

Sales and Marketing

Marketing is the process by which the Company attracts potential customers to visit and tour an ILX resort or attend a sales presentation.  Sales is the process by which the Company seeks to sell a Vacation Ownership Interest to a potential customer once he or she arrives for a tour at an ILX resort or attends a sales presentation.  The Company believes it has the marketing and sales infrastructure necessary to sell Vacation Ownership Interests on a competitive basis.  All of the Company’s sales and the majority of the Company’s marketing functions are currently performed in-house and the Company invests significant resources in attracting, training and seeking to retain its sales and marketing employees.  The Company believes this strategy provides it with greater control over these critical functions, resulting in greater consistency of customer relations and improved customer satisfaction.  In addition, management believes that its practice of hiring employees to staff the majority of its sales and marketing functions, as opposed to using independent contractors as has been often used in the industry, results in a higher retention rate among its sales force and provides a pool of experienced staff from which to draw upon.  The Company expends substantial resources identifying, attracting and training its sales and marketing personnel and offers a package of employment benefits to its sales and marketing personnel.  Management believes that consistency and high quality in its sales and marketing operations is crucial to its success.  The Company believes that the package of benefits offered to its sales and marketing employees helps it to attract high quality personnel and provides an incentive for their performance.

Marketing.  The Company’s marketing activities are devoted primarily toward (i) hotel guests at the ILX resorts, (ii) II and RCI exchange program participants staying at the ILX resorts, (iii) off-premise contacts with visitors to the local surroundings of the ILX resorts and in the metropolitan areas within driving distances of the ILX resorts (iv) inbound telemarketing, direct mail, electronic and other contact with residents of metropolitan areas within driving distance of the ILX resorts (v) its existing customer base and (vi) referrals from existing owners.  The Company’s marketing strategy seeks to target prospective buyers who respond favorably to travel-related inducements because the Company believes such consumers are more likely to travel and therefore have a greater likelihood of purchasing a Vacation Ownership Interest.  The Company identifies potential purchasers through internally developed marketing techniques, and presently sells Vacation Ownership Interests through sales offices located at two ILX resorts.  For its sales offices, the Company primarily targets customers who live within driving distance of the ILX resort or who are vacationing at or near the ILX resort.  This practice allows the Company to invite potential purchasers to experience the ILX resorts and avoid the more expensive marketing costs of subsidized airfare and lodging which have been associated with the vacation ownership industry.  In addition, the Company believes that its marketing strategy results in a higher percentage of sales per prospective customer contacts than other approaches because its targeted customer base has a demonstrated interest in the locale of an ILX resort and/or a greater likelihood to take vacations.  The Company also targets local residents to its VCA-Tucson sales office by offering these prospective customers travel incentives and other premiums in exchange for their attendance at the sales presentation.  The Company believes that prospective customers who respond to such travel offers have stronger sales potential because of the attractiveness of the convenient access of the ILX resorts to their homes, and because of their interest in travel.  The Company also directs its marketing efforts to current ILX owners.  Marketing costs to existing owners are generally lower than costs associated with first time buyers.

Similar to branding techniques utilized by some of its competitors, the Company also seeks to capitalize upon affinity marketing concepts in attracting prospective buyers to its Varsity Clubs concept by seeking to develop a branded “city club” experience for flexible use by local residents.  In addition, marketing of Varsity Clubs may focus on alumni, parents of university students and other persons or entities who have a preexisting affiliation with or other attraction to the local university.  All of the Company’s marketing activities emphasize the convenience of the ILX resorts, coupled with the opportunity to participate in exchange networks, as well as the quality and breadth of amenities available at each of the ILX resorts.

Sales.  The Company actively sells its inventory of Vacation Ownership Interests primarily through a sales staff of approximately 80 employees at December 31, 2009, including approximately 40 sales agents at ILX’s sales offices.  Prospective first-time purchasers at sales offices located at an ILX resort participate in a tour of the facilities as well as its related amenities, guided by a salesperson.  At the conclusion of the tour, the terms of making a purchase, including financing alternatives, are explained to the customer.  Approximately 20% of the Company’s sales have historically been made on a cash basis with the percentage of cash sales increasing to approximately 35% in the past two years.  For those customers seeking financing, the Company conducts credit pre-approval research.  The Company’s point-of-sale credit pre-approval process typically includes a review of the customer’s credit history, and may include verification of employment.  The Company waits until expiration of the applicable statutory waiting period, generally from three to seven days, prior to recognizing a sale as complete.

In addition to generating sales to first-time buyers, the Company’s sales force seeks to generate sales of additional Vacation Ownership Interests or Upgrades to ILX owners.  Sales to ILX owners generally have lower marketing costs associated with them as these buyers tend to be more familiar with the nature of purchasing a Vacation Ownership Interest and the amenities offered at the ILX resorts.  Sales to ILX owners accounted for 20.9% of Vacation Ownership Interest sales by the Company during 2009.  During 2008, sales to ILX owners accounted for 24.7% of the Company’s total sales.

Prior to June 1998, the Company’s inventory of Vacation Ownership Interests had historically consisted of a one-week interval that could be used on an annual or an alternate-year basis in a specified ILX resort during a specified range of dates.  ILX owners could also participate in exchange networks such as II and RCI.  Commencing in June 1998, the Company began offering deeded membership interests in its Premiere Vacation Club, which permit a member to stay at one or more of the participating ILX resorts for up to one week on an annual or alternate-year basis. Premiere Vacation Club members may divide their stays into shorter vacations at any time between a specified period of time, enjoy unlimited day-use and discounted goods and services at certain ILX resorts, as well as a variety of other benefits.  The Company believes that the variety and flexibility of use options associated with its inventory of Vacation Ownership Interests are uniquely attractive to customers.

Customer Financing

The Company currently provides financing for approximately 65% of its Vacation Ownership Interest sales.  On financed sales, the Company receives at least 10% of the aggregate sales price of Vacation Ownership Interests plus the cost of any incentives given at the time of sale as a down payment.  The Company typically makes financing for the remainder available to the buyer for a term of seven years at a fixed rate of interest, which is currently approximately 11.9% to 17.9% per annum.  The Company also offers reduced rates of interest on shorter financing terms and with larger down payment requirements.  At December 31, 2009, the Company had a portfolio of retained Customer Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million, of which $17.5 million were serviced by one outside vendor and had a weighted average yield of 15.5% per annum, which compared favorably to the Company’s weighted average cost of borrowings for such Customer Notes of 4.7% per annum.

The Company believes that providing available financing is essential to the successful sales and marketing of its Vacation Ownership Interest inventory.  However, the Company seeks to minimize the risks associated with its financing activities by emphasizing the credit pre-approval process.  In addition, the Company expends significant resources negotiating alternative repayment programs for past due accounts, so as to minimize its actual losses.  Collection activities with respect to Customer Notes that the Company has hypothecated are managed internally and serviced by a third party on behalf of the lenders and the Company.  In addition, the Company utilizes third party collection agencies for difficult accounts.

Although the terms of each Customer Note vary, typically such notes are deemed past due when a scheduled payment is 30 days or more past due.  In addition, a delinquency occurs when an account becomes more than 90 days past due.  The Company seeks to avoid defaults by working closely with the lender and its collection agent with respect to ILX owners who become delinquent.  The first collection contact typically occurs within 16 to 30 days of a payment’s due date.

The Company’s agreement with a financial institution for a commitment of $30.0 million, under which the Company sold certain of its Customer Notes expired in June 2008.  The agreement provided for sales on a recourse basis with a purchase rate of prime plus 2.75%.  Customer Notes were sold at discounts or premiums to the principal amount in order to yield the purchase rate, with the premium held back by the financial institution as additional collateral.  The Company also had a financing commitment in the aggregate amount of $20.0 million, pursuant to which the Company hypothecated Customer Notes that were pledged to the lender as collateral.  This borrowing bears interest at prime plus 1.5%, had a draw period through December 2009, and a maturity date of 2013.  The Company did not borrow on this facility after its March 2009 filing under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  The Company currently reserves approximately 5.8% of gross sales (including cash sales) as an allowance for doubtful accounts. At December 31, 2008 and 2009, the aggregate amount of these reserves was $2.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively.  During the third quarter 2008, the Company recorded an increase in its estimated uncollectible revenue of $14.5 million and a reduction in cost of Vacation Ownership Interests sold in the amount of $3.3 million to record the reduction in its expectation of collectibility of both past due and currently performing Customer Notes and consumer notes sold with recourse and the recovered Vacation Ownership Interests as a result.  In conjunction with these entries the Company wrote off Customer Notes in excess of 90 days delinquent in the amount of $16.4 million.  The reduction in expectation of collectibility was based upon recent economic, financial and credit conditions.  In December 2009, estimated uncollectible revenue was increased by  $2.3 million for current and anticipated delinquencies to reflect in part the Company’s inability to send accounts becoming delinquent after the bankruptcy to third party collections.  In 2009, the Company’s allowance for uncollectible notes exceeded actual write-offs by approximately $2.7 million.  The Company generally writes off receivables only at such time as it accepts back a deed to the underlying property and determines the remainder uncollectible or as beneficial for income tax purposes.  To the extent that the Company’s losses as a result of bad debt exceed its corresponding reserves, its financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Other Operations

Resort Operations.  The Company also receives revenues from (i) the rental of unsold or unused inventory of units at the ILX resorts, (ii) the sale of food, beverages and other amenities at such resorts and (iii) the management and operation of the ILX resorts and for the operating portion of homeowners’ dues paid by owners of Vacation Ownership Interests.  During 2009, the Company received $19.2 million in net revenues from these operations, consisting of $14.8 million in room rental and vacation interval owner dues revenue, $2.9 million in food and beverage revenue and $1.5 million in other revenue.  Of these amounts, Los Abrigados contributed $8.6 million, or 44.9% of the Company’s total resort operations revenues in 2009.  See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Sedona Spa.  The Company’s operations include the sale of personal care products.  The personal care products are marketed under its proprietary brand name “Sedona Spa.”  Sedona Spa products have, and continue to be, utilized at the ILX resorts as in-room amenities and are also offered for retail sale in the resort gift shops and at the Sedona Spa at Los Abrigados.  The Company uses electronic mail to market Sedona Spa products to resort customers and others who have previously used the products and on a limited basis engages in other marketing and sales efforts.  The Company anticipates continuing to utilize Sedona Spa products for in-room amenities, and in its retail outlets, as well as continuing to maintain marketing efforts outside the Company.

Land Sales.  Since l993, the Company has also received revenues from the sale of primarily unimproved real property.  These operations originated as a result of the Company’s acquisition of its wholly owned subsidiary, Genesis Investment Group, Inc. (“Genesis”), in November 1993.  The sale of real property is not a core business function for the Company and, as such, the Company has not historically and does not intend in the future to devote a material portion of its resources to these operations.  Typically, the Company has sold these assets as subdivided lots or large unimproved parcels.  The Company intends to sell the remaining assets as soon as reasonably practical.  Following the sale of these assets, management does not expect to regularly engage in the sale of real property.

Participation in Exchange Networks

The Company believes that consumers are more likely to purchase Vacation Ownership Interests as a result of the Company’s participation in one of the Vacation Ownership Interest leading exchange networks which are operated by II and RCI.  ILX currently enrolls new purchasers in the II exchange network.  Membership in II or RCI allows ILX owners to exchange in a particular year their occupancy right in the unit in which they own a Vacation Ownership Interest for an occupancy right at the same time or a different time in another participating resort, based upon availability and the payment of a variable exchange fee.  A participating ILX owner may exchange his or her Vacation Ownership Interest for an occupancy right in another participating resort by listing the Vacation Ownership Interest as available with the exchange network operator and by requesting occupancy at another participating resort, indicating the particular resort or geographic area to which the owner desires to travel, the size of the unit desired and the period during which occupancy is desired.  The exchange network assigns a rating to each listed Vacation Ownership Interest, based upon a number of factors, including the location and size of the unit, the quality of the resort and the period of the year during which the Vacation Ownership Interest is available, and attempts to satisfy the exchange request by providing an occupancy right in another Vacation Ownership Interest with a similar rating.  The high rating of, and demand for, the ILX resorts enhance the exchange opportunities available to ILX owners.  If the exchange network is unable to meet the member’s initial request, the network operator may suggest alternative resorts, based on availability.  ILX also offers purchasers enrollment in a cruise exchange program in which the customer may exchange his or her Vacation Ownership Interest for or receive discounts on cruises worldwide.  Exchanges and discounts through this program are offered on a variety of cruise lines to a broad selection of destinations.  In addition, ILX’s Centralized Owner Services Department has established arrangements with additional resorts and smaller exchange networks through which it offers exchange opportunities and discounted vacation getaways to ILX owners.  The Company believes that its direct participation in the exchange process, coupled with these additional services, provides ILX with a competitive advantage and tends to increase customer satisfaction.

Competition

ILX’s Vacation Ownership Interest plans compete both with other Vacation Ownership Interest plans as well as hotels, motels, condominium developments and second homes.  ILX considers the direct competitors of individual resorts to also include alternative accommodations, including hotels, motels, bed-and-breakfasts and small vacation ownership operators located within the immediate geographic vicinity of such resort.  This is particularly true with respect to its CARs that tend to attract purchasers whose decision to buy a Vacation Ownership Interest is likely to be influenced by the convenience of the resort to their principal residence.

The vacation ownership industry consists of local and regional resort developers and operators as well as some of the world’s most widely-recognized lodging, hospitality and entertainment companies which sell Vacation Ownership Interests under their brand names, including Marriott Ownership Resorts, The Walt Disney Company, Hilton Hotels Corporation, Hyatt Corporation, Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., Wyndham Worldwide Corporation, and their subsidiaries and affiliates.  In addition, Diamond Resorts Corporation and other non publicly traded companies currently compete or may compete in the future with the Company.  Furthermore, significant competition exists in other markets in which the Company currently operates.  Many entities with which the Company competes have significantly greater access to financial, sales and marketing and other resources than those of the Company and may be able to grow at a more rapid rate or more profitably as a result.  In recent years there has been significant consolidation in the industry and in addition several entities have encountered challenges, resulting in their attempt to reorganize through either consolidation or bankruptcy.  Management anticipates strong competition in the future as a result of consolidation in the vacation ownership industry.  If the Company does not sell the majority of its assets to a third party, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully compete with such companies.

Governmental Regulation

General.  The Company’s marketing and sales activities and other resort operations are subject to extensive regulation by the federal government and the states in which the Company’s resorts are located and in which its Vacation Ownership Interests are marketed and sold.  Federal legislation to which the Company is or may be subject includes the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act, the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act and the Civil Rights Acts of 1964, 1968 and 1991.  Many states have adopted legislation as well as specific laws and regulations regarding the sale of Vacation Ownership Interests.  The laws of most states, including Arizona, require a designated state authority to approve a detailed offering statement describing the Company and all material aspects of the resort and sale of Vacation Ownership Interests at such resort.  In addition, the laws of Arizona where the Company sells Vacation Ownership Interests grant the purchaser of a Vacation Ownership Interest the right to rescind a contract of purchase at any time within a statutory rescission period.  Furthermore, most states have other laws which regulate the Company’s activities, such as real estate licensure laws, travel sales licensure laws, anti-fraud laws, consumer protection laws, telemarketing laws, prize, gift and sweepstakes laws, and labor laws.  The Company believes that it is in material compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations to which it is currently subject.

Environmental Matters.  Under applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate, remediate and remove hazardous or toxic substances at such property, and may be held liable for property damage and for investigation, remediation and removal costs incurred by such parties in connection with the contamination.  Such laws typically impose such liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the presence of the contaminants, and the liability under such laws has been interpreted to be joint and several unless the harm is divisible and there is a reasonable basis for allocation of responsibility.  The costs associated with compliance with such regulations may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate the contamination on such property, may adversely affect the owner’s or operator’s ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow against such property as collateral.  Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances at a disposal or treatment facility also may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of a release of hazardous or toxic substances at such disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such facility is owned or operated by such person.  In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with the contamination.  Finally, the owner or operator of a site may be subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from a site.  In connection with its ownership and operation of its properties, the Company may be potentially liable for such costs.

The Company does not always conduct environmental assessments at the ILX resorts, properties under development and properties subject to acquisition.  Because many of the Company’s resorts are typically found in remote locations, it does not consider the risks of environmental liabilities significant enough to warrant the performance of assessments at such locations.  Failure to obtain such reports may result in the Company acquiring or developing unusable property or assuming certain liabilities which could have been avoided if the Company had the information typically discovered in an environmental report.  However, when appropriate, the Company has in the past and will in the future obtain environmental reports.  To date, the Company has obtained environmental reports with respect to four of the ILX resorts.  In addition, the Company does conduct significant in-house due diligence prior to the acquisition of any real property interests.  To date, the Company’s investigations of its properties have not revealed any environmental liability that the Company believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company, its business, assets, financial condition or results of operations, nor is the Company aware of any such material environmental liability.
 
The Company believes that its properties are in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances.  The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority or any third party, and is not otherwise aware, of any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products in connection with any of its present properties.
 
 
17

 

Other Regulations.  Under various state and federal laws governing housing and places of public accommodation, the Company is required to meet certain requirements related to access and use by disabled persons.  Although management believes that the Company’s resorts are substantially in compliance with present requirements of such laws, the Company may incur additional costs of compliance in connection with the conversion or renovation of ILX resorts.  Future legislation may impose additional requirements on owners with respect to access by disabled persons.  The aggregate costs associated with compliance with such regulations are not currently known, and, while such costs are not expected to have a material effect on the Company, such costs could be substantial.  Limitations or restrictions on the completion of certain renovations may limit opportunity for growth in certain instances or reduce profit margins on the Company’s operations.
 
Employees
 
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had approximately 520 employees, of which approximately 360 were employed on a full-time basis.  The Company believes relations with its employees are good and none of its employees are represented by labor unions.
 
Insurance
 
The Company carries comprehensive liability, business interruption, title, fire and storm insurance with respect to the ILX resorts, with policy specifications, insured limits and deductibles customarily carried for similar properties, which the Company believes are adequate.  There are, however, certain types of losses (such as losses caused by floods, acts of terrorism, or acts of war) that are not generally insured because they are either uninsurable or not economically insurable.  Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, the Company could lose its capital invested in a resort, as well as the anticipated future revenues from such resort and would continue to be obligated on any mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the property.  Any such loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
Corporate Headquarters
 
The Company leases 8,437 square feet for its corporate offices in Phoenix, Arizona, under a lease that expires on January 31, 2011.
 
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
 
As discussed earlier, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and limited liability companies are debtors in possession in the Chapter 11 case.

Other litigation has arisen in the normal course of the Company’s business, none of which is deemed to be material.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

The following discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations includes certain forward-looking statements.  When used in this Form 10-K, the words “estimate,” “projection,” “intend,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “may,” “should” and similar terms are intended to identify forward-looking statements that relate to the Company’s future performance.  Such statements are subject to substantial uncertainty.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements set forth below.  The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any of the forward-looking statements contained herein.

Executive Overview

ILX Resorts Incorporated was formed in 1986 to enter the Vacation Ownership Interest business.  The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale and financing of Vacation Ownership Interests.  The Company also generates revenue from the rental of the unused or unsold inventory of units at the ILX resorts, from the operating portion of homeowners’ association dues from owners of Vacation Ownership Interests, and from the sale of food, beverages or other services at such resorts.  The Company currently owns seven resorts in Arizona, one resort in Indiana, one resort in Colorado, holds interests in 1,500 Vacation Ownership Interests in a resort in San Carlos, Mexico, in 194 weeks at a resort in Pinetop, Arizona, in 2,241 Vacation Ownership Interests in a resort in Las Vegas, Nevada and in 176 weeks at a resort in Scottsdale, Arizona.  On March 2, 2009, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and limited liability companies filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona as discussed under Chapter 11 Filings and Chapter 11 Bankruptcy process earlier in this Report on Form 10-K.  The Company anticipates filing a Joint Plan with its primary lender whereby most of its assets would be sold to a third party.

Significant Accounting Policies

The following discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based on the accompanying consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.  A detailed explanation of significant accounting policies is contained in the consolidated financial statements.  The preparation of which requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the related disclosure of commitments and contingencies.  The Company evaluates its estimates, including those that relate to its allowance for possible credit losses and the estimate of contingent liabilities on an ongoing basis.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current economic factors and legal guidance, the result of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009

In the third quarter 2008, the Company recorded an increase in its estimated uncollectible revenue of $14,549,432 and a reduction in cost of Vacation Ownership Interests owned in the amount of $3,281,615, the “allowance adjustment,” to record the reduction in its expectation of collectibility of both past due and currently performing Customer Notes and consumer notes sold with recourse and the recovered Vacation Ownership Interests as a result.  In conjunction with these entries the Company wrote off Customer Notes in excess of 90 days delinquent in the amount of $16,420,471, increased resort property held for sale by $3,281,615 and recognized an income tax benefit of $4,507,127.  The reduction in expectation of collectibility was based upon recent economic, financial and credit conditions.

Sales of Vacation Ownership Interests exclusive of the allowance adjustment discussed above decreased 33.0% or $6.2 million in 2009 to $12.6 million from $18.8 million in 2008.  The decrease reflects a reduction in scale of sales operations.  As part of a comprehensive expense reduction program, the Company closed three of its sales offices in January 2009, and continues to operate two sales offices in Sedona and Tucson at a reduced scale.  The decreased revenue is the result of the closures, a reduction in tours to the Sedona and Tucson sales offices during the Chapter 11 proceedings, as well as decreased average sales prices discussed below and lower closing rates at the Tucson sales office due to general economic conditions and the impact of the Chapter 11 filing by the Company.  Upgrade revenue decreased 42.9% to $2.7 million in 2009 from $4.7 million in 2008.  The decrease reflects decreased marketing efforts to existing owners in Sedona and Tucson.  The average sales price per Vacation Ownership Interest sold (excluding Upgrades) decreased 14.4% to $14,459 in 2009 compared to $16,895 in 2008 due to a change in the product mix sold and special promotional pricing following the Company’s Chapter 11 filing.  The average sales price per Vacation Ownership Interest sold including Upgrades decreased 18.5% to $18,288 in 2009 from $22,444 in 2008 due to the decrease in average sales price per Vacation Ownership Interest sold (excluding upgrades) described above together with the reduction in upgrade revenue.
 
 
20

 

The number of Vacation Ownership Interests sold decreased 17.2% to 708 in 2009 from 855 in 2008.  Sales of Vacation Ownership Interests in 2009 included 591 biennial Vacation Ownership Interests (counted as 295.5 annual Vacation Ownership Interests) and 412 annual Vacation Ownership Interests compared to 974 biennial Vacation Ownership Interests (counted as 489 annual Vacation Ownership Interests) and 368 annual Vacation Ownership Interests in 2008.  The decrease is due to the closure of the three sales offices and decreases at the Sedona and Tucson sales offices discussed above.

Resort operating revenues decreased 6.2% from $20.4 million in 2008 to $19.2 million in 2009, reflecting the closure of the Los Abrigados Lodge, decreased occupancy at the Company’s resorts and decreased average daily rate at certain of the Company’s Arizona and South Bend resorts.  The cost of resort operations decreased 18.5% to $14.6 million in 2009 from $17.9 million in 2008.  Cost of resort operations as a percentage of resort operating revenue decreased to 76.0% in 2009 from 87.5% in 2008.  These decreases reflect expense reduction measures put in place in the first quarter 2009 as well as the closure of Los Abrigados Lodge in March 2009.  The Los Abrigados Lodge operated under a long term lease agreement that was rejected as part of the Chapter 11 proceedings and was mainly used to house tour guests and had minimal revenue from other sources.  Further, both resort operating revenue and cost of resort operations were negatively impacted in 2009 by the effects of natural disasters and calamity at several of the Company’s resorts including flooding, a hurricane and a gas leak.

Interest and finance income decreased 29.6% to $1.9 million in 2009 from $2.7 million in 2008 reflecting decreased Customer Note balances, a reduction in notes sold at a premium due to the expiration of the agreement in June 2008 with a financial institution to sell Customer Notes, a greater portion of Customer Notes being a lower overall portfolio weighted average maturity and special interest rates on certain products following the Chapter 11 filing.

Cost of Vacation Ownership Interests recovered of $3,281,615 was recorded in 2008 in conjunction with the write off of consumer notes receivable discussed above. Cost of Vacation Ownership Interests sold exclusive of the Vacation Ownership Interest recovered as a percentage of Vacation Ownership Interest sales was consistent at 13.3% in 2009 and 13.8% in 2008.

Sales and marketing as a percentage of sales of Vacation Ownership Interests decreased to 66.8% in 2009 compared to 78.6% in 2008 reflecting lower marketing costs per tour and reduced sales office expenses, mostly related to the rejection of leases for less effective marketing venues and other cost cutting strategies.

General and administrative expenses decreased 23.8% to $4.8 million in 2009 from $6.3 million in 2008.  General and administrative expenses decreased between years as a percentage of total revenues from 15.1% in 2008 to 14.3% in 2009.  The decreases reflect reductions in professional fees related to the Greens of Las Vegas lawsuit settled in 2008 and employee benefit plans, a decrease in salaries and related benefits as a result of a reduction in force and comprehensive salary reductions in January 2009 as well as a decrease in rent and other expenses resulting from the rejection of a lease as part of the Bankruptcy filing discussed in Note 1.

Income from land and other, net for 2008 includes a net gain of $100,990 on the sale of Vacation Ownership Interests to Premiere Vacation Club.

Interest expense increased 7.2% from $2.6 million in 2008 to $2.8 million in 2009, reflecting reductions in rate on variable rate borrowings and lower outstanding balances, net of reduced capitalized interest.

Reorganization items include loss on disposal of facilities and other and professional fees and include items of income, expense, gain or loss that are realized or incurred by the Company because it is in reorganization.  The loss on disposal of facilities and other includes estimated uncollectible revenue, the write-off of lease acquisition costs, deposits, leasehold improvements and other items related to the rejection of seven unexpired leases, loss on extinguishment of HOA receivables and trustee fees.  Professional fees are expenses for legal and expert counsel.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Cash

The Company requires funds to make capital improvements and support current operations.  Cash provided by operating activities was $3.9 million in 2009 and $1.3 million in 2008.  The increase in cash provided by operations from 2008 to 2009 reflects a reduction in net loss, inclusive of reorganization items, and the resultant smaller income tax benefit, a net decrease in resort property under development and resort property held for Vacation Ownership Interest sales due to greater additions in 2008 for the expansion of Premiere Vacation Club at Bell Rock and the Winner’s Circle suites at Los Abrigados, and an increase in accounts payable due to non payment of pre-petition amounts.  These are offset by a reduction in estimated uncollectible revenue due to the 2008 increased allowance and write-off of uncollectible Customer Notes receivable, an increase in other assets for a cash reserve retained by the Company’s credit card processor, and a decrease in accrued and other liabilities due to a timing difference in payroll and payroll related accruals.

 
21

 

The Company generates cash primarily from the sale of Vacation Ownership Interests (including Upgrades), the financing of Customer Notes from such sales and resort operations.  Because the Company uses significant amounts of cash in the development and marketing of Vacation Ownership Interests, but collects the cash on the Customer Notes receivable over a long period of time, borrowing against and/or selling receivables is necessary to provide sufficient cash to fund its normal operations.  As discussed earlier, the Company’s credit facility expired in December 2009.  The Company was unable to borrow under its facility after its Chapter 11 filing, but does have the use of cash collateral generated by customer payments under a motion granted by the Bankruptcy Court.
 
 
For regular Federal income tax purposes, the Company reports substantially all of its non-factored financed Vacation Ownership Interest sales under the installment method.  Under the installment method, the Company recognizes income on sales of Vacation Ownership Interests only when the Company receives cash either in the form of a down payment, as an installment payment or from proceeds from the sale of the Customer Note.  The deferral of income tax liability conserves cash resources on a current basis.  Interest may be imposed, however, on the amount of tax attributable to the installment payments for the period beginning on the date of sale and ending on the date the related tax is paid.  If the Company is otherwise not subject to tax in a particular year, no interest is imposed since the interest is based on the amount of tax paid in that year.  The consolidated financial statements do not contain an accrual for any interest expense that would be paid on the deferred taxes related to the installment method, as the interest expense is not estimable.

Uses of Cash

Investing activities typically reflect a net use of cash because of capital additions.  Net cash used in investing activities in 2008 and 2009 was $2.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively.  The decrease in net cash used in investing activities is due to reduced ILX-Bruno capital expenditures for projects in Sedona.

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.6 million in 2008 and $2.0 million in 2009.  The increase in cash used in financing activities in 2009 is due to the post petition discontinuation of advances against new consumer notes, net of the repayment in 2008 of a note payable to affiliates and the post petition use of cash collateral for operations rather than for debt service.

Customer defaults typically have a significant impact on cash available to the Company from financing Customer Notes receivables, in that notes which are more than 60 to 90 days past due are not eligible as collateral.  As a result, the Company in effect must repay borrowings against such notes or buy back such notes if they were sold with recourse.  However, under the stay discussed in Part I, the Company is not currently repaying borrowings against such notes.

Credit Facilities and Capital

The Company’s agreement with a financial institution for a commitment of $30.0 million under which the Company sold certain of its Customer Notes expired in June 2008.  The agreement provided for sales on a recourse basis with a purchase rate of prime plus 2.75%.  Customer Notes were sold at discounts or premiums to the principal amount in order to yield the purchase rate, with the premium held back by the financial institution as additional collateral.

The Company also had a financing commitment for $20.0 million whereby the Company could borrow against notes receivable pledged as collateral.  The Company was unable to borrow under this commitment after its Chapter 11 filing in March 2009.  These borrowings bear interest at a rate of prime plus 1.5%, had a draw period through December 2009 and a maturity date of 2013.

In January 2008, the Company amended an existing note payable due March 1, 2008 with a principal balance of $214,350 to extend the maturity date to March 1, 2010.  All other terms remain unchanged.

In February 2008, the Company amended an existing construction loan to provide for an additional $1.9 million in financing, increase the interest rate by 1.0% to 10.0% and extend the maturity date to February 2013.  All other terms remained the same.

In October 2008, the Company amended an existing line of credit with a borrowing limit of $1,750,000 to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2009, and in January 2009 reduced the borrowing limit to $750,000 and changed the interest rate to libor plus 3.84%, but not less than 4.25%, from prime plus 1%.  The outstanding balance of this line of credit is currently stayed due to the Company’s Chapter 11 filing.

In December 2008, the Company amended an existing $1.0 million line of credit to extend the maturity date to May 31, 2009.  The outstanding balance of this line of credit is currently stayed due to the Company’s Chapter 11 filing.

In July 2007, the Company sold land and a building in Sedona, Arizona for approximately $0.9 million.  The note payable secured by the property with a balance of $257,344 was paid in full as part of the transaction.  The Company is leasing the property back under a five year lease agreement at $6,667 per month and had an option to and had agreed to repurchase the property for $1.1 million at the end of the lease term.  As consideration for the option, the Company would pay $20,000 each year beginning August 1, 2007 for five years, all of which would apply to the purchase price.  In April 2008, the Company paid an advance deposit of $200,000 in satisfaction of the remaining option payments and the repurchase price was reduced to $800,000.

In October 2007, ILX-Bruno entered into a promissory note to borrow $2.0 million for working capital including planning, development and carrying costs of the 22 acres of land in Sedona.  The note bears interest at prime plus 1.5% with a minimum interest rate of 8.0% payable monthly.  The principal balance on the note was due October 4, 2009.  In conjunction with this promissory note, the Company entered into a guaranty agreement with the lender under which the Company guarantees performance of the terms of the promissory note. The outstanding balance of this line of credit is currently stayed due to the Company’s Chapter 11 filing.

On March 1, 2009, a Loan and Security Agreement in the original amount of $5.0 million with Textron Financial Corporation (the “Lender”) was terminated.  The loan’s original maturity date was December 31, 2008 but was extended to February 28, 2009 by two separate letter agreements.  The outstanding principal balance on the loan was $4,577,874 as of March 1, 2009.  The Company and the Lender were unable to reach a mutually acceptable longer term extension of the loan.  The loan is secured by an assignment of a Promissory Note to the Company and a Deed of Trust from ILX-Bruno securing approximately 14 acres of land in Sedona, Arizona.

The Company is not in compliance with certain of its loan covenants which include Debt Service Coverage Ratios and a Tangible Net Worth ratio.  In addition, the March 2009 Chapter 11 filing constitutes an event of default under the Company’s loan agreements.

Under the contemplated Joint Plan, material additional credit facilities are not anticipated to be required.  Under the Plan or otherwise, as part of its reorganization, the Company may negotiate additional credit facilities, including leases, issue corporate debt, issue equity securities, or any combination of the above.  Any debt incurred or issued by the Company may be secured or unsecured, may bear interest at fixed or variable rates of interest, and may be subject to such terms as management and the Bankruptcy Court deems prudent.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional corporate debt or equity at or beyond current levels or that the Company will be able to maintain its current level of debt.

The Company continues to assess its liquidity position due to its reorganization status, the scarcity of capital and uncertainty of the credit markets, current economic conditions, sales challenges as a result of the foregoing and the expenses associated with the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceedings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In April 2008, the Sedona Vacation Club Incorporated homeowners’ association (“SVC”) and the Premiere Vacation Club homeowners’ association (“PVC”) entered into loan agreements to borrow up to $350,000 and $900,000, respectively, at an interest rate of 6.15% to finance renovations and the purchase of certain equipment for resort operations.  The borrowings have a maturity date of March 31, 2011.  The Company has guaranteed the borrowings, including interest, for both SVC and PVC and has entered into a Guarantee Fee Agreement with SVC and PVC under which it received a guarantee fee of 1.0% of the maximum principal amount under the loan agreements.  The amounts outstanding under the loan agreements as of December 31, 2009 were $833,333.

Seasonality

The Company’s revenues are moderately seasonal with the volume of ILX owners, hotel guests and Vacation Ownership Interest exchange participants typically greatest in the second and third fiscal quarters.  As the Company expands into new markets and geographic locations it may experience increased or additional seasonality dynamics which may cause the Company’s operating results to fluctuate.

Inflation

Inflation and changing prices have not had a material impact on the Company’s revenues, operating income and net income during any of the Company’s two most recent fiscal years.  However, to the extent inflationary trends affect short-term interest rates, a portion of the Company’s debt service costs may be affected as well as the rates the Company charges on its Customer Notes.
 
 
23

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company typically derives a portion of income from the spread between the interest rates charged to customers and the interest rates at which it borrows against customer notes or at which it sold customer notes.  The Company’s indebtedness bears interest at variable rates while the retained customer notes bear interest at fixed rates.  As a result, increases in interest rates could cause interest expense to exceed interest income on the Company’s portfolio of retained customer notes.  The Company does not currently engage in interest rate hedging transactions.  Therefore, any change in the prime interest rate could have a material effect on results of operations, liquidity and financial position.  If there were a one-percentage point change in the prevailing prime rate at December 31, 2009, then based on the $17.6 million balance of variable rate debt at December 31, 2009, interest expense would increase or decrease by approximately $176,000 (before income taxes) per annum.

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to the officers who certify the Company’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's (“SEC”) rules and forms. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009 was completed based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are functioning effectively.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and, even when determined to be effective, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate as a result of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance.

At December 31, 2009, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on COSO framework.  Based on the assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009 and provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

This annual report on internal control over financial reporting (“Annual Report”) does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
 
 
24

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Under the securities laws of the United States, the Company’s directors, its executive officers, and any persons holding more than ten percent of the Company’s Common Stock are required to report their initial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock and any subsequent changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Based solely upon the written representations of the Company’s directors, executive officers and ten percent holders and review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 and amendments thereto furnished to the Company, the Company is not aware of any late filing for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Item 11.  Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

We rely on our executives’ judgment, initiative and effort in order to operate successfully.  Therefore, we strive to compensate our executives in order to align their interests with our long-term interests and those of our shareholders.   Our compensation plan is designed to attract and retain qualified senior executives and reward them for their contribution to our leadership, growth and profitability.  The Chief Executive Officer and President provide input to the members of the Compensation Committee to set compensation programs.  Our compensation components include a mix of base salary, discretionary bonuses, discretionary equity based grants and retirement programs for all executives and, for certain executives who oversee our sales operations, compensation may also include commission as a percentage of vacation ownership interest sales.

The base salary component, as noted in column (c) of the Summary Compensation Table, is the principal component of all executive compensation except for certain executives who oversee our sales operations.   We consider each executive’s position compared to other executives, their areas of responsibility, their performance and achievement of past performance objectives.  We also informally gather salary information from our peer group or similar companies.  In 2008, the base salary component remained equal at $200,000 for all Executive Vice Presidents, except for certain executives whose primary responsibility is the sale of vacation ownership interests, in order to foster a teamwork atmosphere and communicate that we are all equally responsible for the success of our objectives.  In addition, the President’s base salary remained at $125,000 more than that of the Executive Vice Presidents’ as compensation for her additional leadership and responsibility.  In January 2008, the Chief Executive Officer voluntarily reduced his salary from $450,000 to $325,000.  In response to the continued difficult economic climate and its impact on our business, in January 2009 all Executive Vice Presidents’ currently payable base salaries (except for those executives whose primary responsibility is the sale of vacation ownership interests) were reduced to $150,000, the President’s currently payable base salary was reduced to $225,000 and the Chief Executive Officer’s currently payable base salary was reduced to $150,000, with the difference between their prior salaries and the currently paid portion being deferred compensation covered under the Executive Retention Deferred Compensation Plan (“Retention Plan”).  The Retention Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee and was designed to retain senior executives through challenging economic times.  Senior executives covered by the Retention Plan shall vest in their deferred compensation at a schedule established by the Compensation Committee.  Confirmation of the Plan or Joint Plan shall result in full vesting for senior executives employed at the date of confirmation.  The Compensation Committee may also grant cash bonuses in an amount to cover the payroll taxes on the payment of deferred compensation.  The Compensation Committee has approved the grant of such payroll taxes in an amount not to exceed $48,000 to the Chief Financial Officer.  The Summary Compensation Table indicates only the salary portion paid in cash and excludes the deferred salary and reflects additional compensation as there was one additional pay period in 2009 due to our third party payroll processor’s inability to process payroll on January 1, 2010.

The Executive Vice President’s whose primary responsibility is the sale of vacation ownership interests are principally compensated on commissions as a percentage of vacation ownership interest sales.  The commission component is indicated in column (d) of the Summary Compensation Table.  The percentage is confidential and could result in competitive harm if disclosed.  We determine the percentage by analyzing profit margins of sales of vacation ownership interests.

We adopted the Stock Bonus Plan, after shareholder approval, in 2005.  The Stock Bonus Plan encourages and enables executives and certain other employees to acquire and retain common stock ownership, aids in retention and compensates them for contributions to our growth and profits.  We evaluate the Company’s overall results as well as each executive’s annual performance in December and typically issue shares under the Stock Bonus Plan in January.  The shares normally vest in three years and require the recipient to be employed on the vesting date in order to encourage longevity.  We did not issue any shares to Executive Officers in 2008 or 2009.  The breakdown of the value of shares issued to each named executive officer is noted in column (e) of the Summary Compensation Table.  The value is determined as 80% of our stock price on the date of issuance.  The expense is deferred and recognized pro-rata over the vesting period.  The unrecognized portion for shares issued in 2007 is in deferred compensation on our balance sheet.  Each named executive’s number and value of unvested shares issued under the Stock Bonus Plan in 2007 are listed in the Outstanding Equity Awards At Fiscal Year-End table under the Stock Awards columns.  The value of each executive’s stock will be added to their taxable earnings in the year in which their shares are fully vested.

We had an Employee Stock Ownership Plan for the benefit of all employees, including executives which was terminated in December 2009.  We previously determined total contributions to the Plan based on overall profitability and allocations to individuals were based on participant earnings and formulas defined in the Plan that comply with Internal Revenue Service regulations.  No contribution was made to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan for the years ended December 31, 2008 or December 31, 2009.

We have no employment contracts with any of our executives.  However, certain senior executives are covered by the Retention Plan as previously described.  In addition, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have approved the payment of $200,000 severance to the President payable upon confirmation of the Joint Plan.  In addition, the Compensation Committee has approved payment to the CFO of $5,000 per month for nine months payable commencing on the closing date of the Joint Plan in exchange for her continued employment through such period as the Company requires to wind up its business affairs.

We comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Tax Code”).  The Tax Code limits the corporate deduction for aggregate compensation paid to Named Executive Officers to $1,000,000 per year, unless certain requirements are met.  We have reviewed the impact of the Tax Code provision on the current compensation package for the Named Executive Officers and none of the Named Executive Officers will exceed the applicable limit.  We will continue to review the impact of this Tax Code Section and make appropriate recommendations to shareholders in the future.

Stock Bonus Plan

The Company’s Stock Bonus Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee which selects the persons to whom stock is granted and determines the terms and conditions of each grant.

The purpose of the Stock Bonus Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its shareholders, by encouraging and enabling selected officers, directors, consultants and key employees upon whose judgment, initiative and effort the Company is largely dependent for the successful conduct of its business, to acquire and retain a proprietary interest in the Company by ownership of its stock, to keep personnel of experience and ability in the employ of the Company and to compensate them for their contributions to the growth and profits of the Company and thereby induce them to continue to make such contributions in the future.

The Stock Bonus Plan provided for establishment of a Bonus Share Reserve to which 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were credited, 250,000 of which to be authorized and unissued shares of the Company's common stock or treasury stock, and 350,000 of which to be purchased by the Company on the open market or from affiliates of the Company, including from MEI, an entity controlled by Joseph P. Martori.  Through December 31, 2009, 216,685 remain in the authorized and unissued shares of the Company or treasury stock and 266,000 shares remain available to purchase on the open market or from affiliates.  All purchases by the Company on the open market or from affiliates are approved by a majority of the Company's independent directors. The price of shares acquired from affiliates is determined by a majority of the Company's independent directors, but may not exceed the fair market value of such shares at the time of purchase, and, if such shares are then listed on the NYSE AMEX Exchange or other recognized exchange or Nasdaq, the fair market value of such shares is the average of the mean between the opening and closing price as reported by such exchange or Nasdaq for each trading day over the 30 day period ending on the date of such purchase (“Agreement Date”).  Pursuant to Section 16 under the Exchange Act of 1934, the affiliate may not acquire shares of the Company's common stock, except pursuant to a transaction exempt from Section 16(b), within the six-month period preceding or following the Agreement Date.  Any Bonus Shares forfeited by Recipients are credited back to the Bonus Share Reserve.  There were no shares issued to Named Executive Officers for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009.

Payments Upon Termination Or Change In Control

The Company has no employment contracts and with any of our executives.  However, the Compensation Committee has approved the reductions in salary taken commencing January 2009 as deferred compensation and such deferrals are payable upon Joint Plan confirmation provided the executive is employed at that date.  In addition, payroll taxes on deferred compensation up to $48,000 shall be payable to the Chief Financial Officer, severance in the amount of $200,000 shall be payable to the President and severance of $5,000 per month for nine months in exchange for continued employment shall be payable to the Chief Financial Officer upon Joint Plan confirmation.  Unvested shares issued under the Stock Bonus Plan before or during 2007 will vest immediately upon change in control.

Payments Made Upon Termination Or Retirement

 Regardless of the manner in which a named executive officer’s employment terminates, they are entitled to receive amounts earned during employment.  These payments are not caused or precipitated by termination or change in control, and are payable or due to any employee of the Company regardless of whether or not the employee was terminated or a change in control has occurred.  Such amounts include:

·  
vested amounts under the ILX Resorts Incorporated Employee Stock Ownership Plan;
·  
earned but unpaid compensation; and
·  
unused vacation pay (if termination is voluntary and adequate notice is given).

Director Compensation

The Company’s policy is to pay a fee for each Board of Directors’ meeting attended by directors who are not employees of the Company, and reimburse all directors for actual expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of the Board of Directors.  The fee for each Board of Directors’ meeting attended by a non-employee director is $1,000.  Previously, all non-employee directors also received a grant of options to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock following their election to the Board of Directors.  The options were fully exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant.   In addition, all non-employee directors received a grant of options to purchase an additional 5,000 shares of Common Stock in December 2004.  The options were also fully exercisable on the first anniversary date of grant and expired in December 2009.  Directors are also entitled to complimentary accommodations at ILX resorts and are eligible for grants of stock under the Stock Bonus Plan.  The table below illustrates Director Compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The following is a summary of certain agreements or transactions between and among the Company and certain related parties in which the amount involved since January 1, 2009 exceeded $120,000.  It is the Company’s policy to enter into transactions with related parties on terms that, on the whole, are no less favorable than those that would be available from unaffiliated parties.  Management reviews the transactions as they occur and monitors them for compliance with the Code of Ethics, internal procedures, accounting procedures and applicable legal requirements.  Management or the Board of Directors approves such transactions.

Joseph P. Martori, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is also the Chairman of the Board of MEI, which owned 16.8% of the Common Stock outstanding as of February 28, 2010.  The voting stock of MEI is controlled by Mr. Martori.

During 2003 through 2009, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Genesis, recorded the sale of Vacation Ownership Interests to Premiere Vacation Club homeowners’ association, an Arizona nonprofit corporation (“PVC”).  PVC purchased the intervals at $2,415 per interval, the same price at which it has historically acquired intervals in arms-length negotiations with unaffiliated third parties.  PVC is owned by the holders of its vacation ownership interests, including the Company.  PVC paid cash of $237,937 on notes payable to Genesis in 2009.  In anticipation of the reorganization, the indebtedness was exchanged for the Vacation Ownership Interests in December 2009.

In 2005, the Company, together with James Bruno Enterprises LLC (“Bruno”), formed ILX-Bruno LLC (“ILX-Bruno”) to purchase and develop three parcels approximating 22 acres of land in Sedona, Arizona.  The Company holds an outstanding promissory note from ILX-Bruno in the amount of $5,000,000 plus accrued interest of $862,500, a portion of which is eliminated in consolidation, which is in default to the Company.  In October 2007, ILX-Bruno entered into a promissory note to borrow $2.0 million for working capital including planning, development and carrying costs of the 22 acres of land.  In conjunction with the promissory note, the Company entered into a guaranty agreement with the lender under which the Company guarantees performance of the terms of the promissory note.

In April 2008, Sedona Vacation Club Incorporated homeowners’ association (“SVC”) and PVC entered into loan agreements to borrow up to $350,000 and $900,000, respectively at an interest rate of 6.15% to finance renovations and the purchase of certain equipment.  The borrowings have a maturity date of March 2011.  The Company has guaranteed the borrowings including interest, for both SVC and PVC and has entered into a Guarantee Fee Agreement under which it received in 2008, cash of 1.0% of the maximum principal amount under the loan agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of ILX Resorts Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ILX Resorts Incorporated and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of ILX Resorts Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company filed petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code), and that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan concerning this matter is also discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new guidance on the accounting for non-controlling interests.

ILX Resorts Incorporated
(Debtor and Debtor-In-Possession as of March 2, 2009)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Chapter 11 Reorganization

On March 2, 2009 (the “Petition Date”), ILX Resorts Incorporated (“ILX” or the “Company”) and fifteen of its subsidiaries and limited liability companies (“the Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“the Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona (“the Bankruptcy Court”).  The cases are being jointly administered under Case Number 2:09-BK-03594-RTB.  The Company cannot provide any assurance as to what values, if any, will be ascribed in the bankruptcy proceedings to various pre-petition liabilities, common stock and other securities. Accordingly, caution should be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in any of these liabilities or securities. Trading of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE AMEX exchange was suspended on March 2, 2009 and the stock was subsequently delisted on March 13, 2009.

Reporting Requirements

As a result of its bankruptcy filing, the Company is periodically required to file various documents with and provide certain information to, the Bankruptcy Court, including statements of financial affairs, schedules of assets and liabilities and monthly operating reports in forms prescribed by federal bankruptcy law, as well as certain financial information on an unconsolidated basis. Such materials are prepared according to requirements of federal bankruptcy law.  While they accurately provide then-current information required under federal bankruptcy law, they are nonetheless unconsolidated, unaudited and are prepared in a format different from that used in the Company’s consolidated financial statements filed under the securities laws.  Accordingly, the Company believes that the substance and format do not allow meaningful comparison with its regular publicly-disclosed consolidated financial statements.  Moreover, the materials filed with the Bankruptcy Court are not prepared for the purpose of providing a basis for an investment decision relating to the Company’s securities, or for comparison with other financial information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Reasons for Bankruptcy

The Debtor’s Chapter 11 filings were due to prevailing economic conditions and unanticipated reductions in credit facilities caused by instability in the credit markets.

Motions

The Bankruptcy Court has approved various motions for relief designed to allow the Company to continue normal operations.  The Bankruptcy Court’s orders authorize the Debtors, among other things, in their discretion to: a) pay certain pre-petition and post-petition employee wages, salaries and benefits and other employee obligations, b) pay vendors in the ordinary course for goods and services received from and after the Petition Date, c) continue maintenance of existing bank accounts and existing cash management systems, and d) use certain cash collateral.

Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company may assume or reject certain unexpired leases subject to the Bankruptcy Court’s approval and certain other conditions.  As of the filing date of this report, the Debtors have filed motions to reject seven operating leases; all of which have been granted.  Various other filings have been made with respect to utilities, third party servicing firms, professional firm engagements and contract approvals.

Notifications

Shortly after the Petition Date, the Debtors began notifying all known current or potential creditors of the Chapter 11 filing.  The Debtors’ Chapter 11 filing automatically enjoined, or stayed, the continuation of any judicial or administrative proceeding or other actions against the Debtors or their property to recover on, collect or secure a claim arising prior to the Petition Date.  Vendors are being paid for goods and services provided after the Petition Date in the ordinary course of business.  The deadline for the filing of proofs of claims against the Debtors was September 15, 2009.

Proofs of Claim

As permitted under the bankruptcy process, certain of the Debtors’ creditors filed proofs of claim with the Bankruptcy Court.  The total amount of the claims that were filed far exceed the Company’s estimate of ultimate liability.  The Debtors believe some of these claims are invalid because they are duplicative, have been amended or superseded by later filed claims, are based on contingencies that have not occurred, or are inaccurate or not valid.  Differences in amounts between claims filed by creditors and liabilities shown in the Company’s records are being investigated and will be resolved in connection with the Company’s claims resolution process.  There can be no assurances at this time that the Company will not continue to record adjustments related to the ultimate amount of claims allowed.

(Debtor and Debtor-In-Possession as of March 2, 2009)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Executory Contracts and Determination of Allowed Claims

Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases.  Claims may arise as a result of rejecting any executory contract or unexpired lease.  As mentioned above, the Debtors have rejected seven operating leases.  The consolidated financial statements do not include the effects of any claims from the rejection of these as the Company cannot estimate the amount that will be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court.

Plan of Reorganization

The Debtors had the exclusive right for 120 days after the Petition Date to file a plan of reorganization and an additional 60 days to obtain necessary acceptances of the plan. Due to ongoing discussions with the Company’s primary lender, a motion to extend exclusivity for an additional 45 days was filed and approved in June 2009.  A second motion to extend exclusivity was granted, the Debtors filed a plan of reorganization and disclosure statement on August 28, 2009 and in September the Court extended the Debtors exclusive right to obtain necessary acceptances of the plan to December 1, 2009. The Debtor filed an Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (“the Plan”) and First Amended Joint Disclosure Statement (“the Disclosure Statement”) on October 2, 2009.  Also on October 2, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered its order approving the Disclosure Statement and establishing the solicitation and voting procedures for the Debtors’ Plan.  The creditors and equity holders’ votes for or against, and any objections to the Debtors’ Plan were required to be filed on or before November 2, 2009.  The confirmation hearing on the Debtors’ Plan was scheduled for November 10 and 12, 2009.  The Company’s primary lender filed a Motion for Relief From Automatic Stay Regarding Debtors’ Real and Personal Property on August 15, 2009.  The hearing on this motion was scheduled to be held in conjunction with the Plan confirmation hearing on November 10 and 12, 2009.  The Debtors and their primary lender asked for an extension on November 12, 2009 until January 7, 2010 in order to work together on a mutually acceptable plan of reorganization.  In January 2010, the Debtors and their primary lender reached an agreement and are now working together on a Joint Plan of Reorganization (“Joint Plan”) in which most of the Debtors assets will be sold to a third party.

A plan of reorganization will be deemed accepted by holders of claims against and equity interests in the Debtors if (1) at least one-half in number and two-thirds in dollar amount of claims actually voting in each impaired class of claims have voted to accept the plan and (2) at least two-thirds in amount of equity interests actually voting in each impaired class of equity interests has voted to accept the plan.

Under the priority classification established by the Bankruptcy Code, unless creditors agree otherwise, pre and post petition liabilities must be satisfied in full before stockholders are entitled to receive any distribution under a plan of reorganization.  The ultimate treatment of creditors and stockholders will not be determined until confirmation of a plan of reorganization.  No assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be ascribed in the Chapter 11 cases to each of these groups or what types or amounts of distributions, if any, they would receive.  While the Joint Plan anticipates some payment to all creditors and payment by the primary lender to holders of outstanding common stock of ILX Resorts Incorporated, a plan of reorganization could result in holders of the Debtors’ liabilities and/or securities, including common stock, receiving no distribution on account of their interests and cancellation of their holdings.

There can be no assurance at this time that the Company will be able to sell most of its assets to a third party or that it can restructure as a going concern, that the Joint Plan or Plan will be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, or that any plan will be implemented successfully.

Reorganization Costs

The Debtors have incurred and will continue to incur significant costs associated with their reorganization.  The amount of these costs, which are being expensed as incurred, have affected and are expected to continue to significantly affect the Debtors’ liquidity and results of operations.  See Note 3. “Reorganization Items” for additional information.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Debtors’ proposed Joint Plan contemplates a sale of most assets to a third party and does not contemplate that the Company will continue as a going concern.  If the proposed sale does not occur, the ability of the Company, both during and after the Chapter 11 case, to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, a) the ability of the Company to successfully achieve required cost savings to complete its restructuring; b) the ability of the Company to maintain adequate liquidity; c) the ability of the Company to generate cash from operations; d) the ability of the Company to collect customer note balances; e) the ability of the Company to confirm a plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code and f) the Company’s ability to achieve and maintain profitability.  Uncertainty as to the outcome of these factors raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  A confirmed plan could materially change the amounts currently disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Business Activities

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ILX, and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  As is required by FASB ASC 810, the Company clearly presents ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the Company in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity separate from the Company’s equity.  The Company also presents the amount of consolidated net loss attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest separately on the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company’s significant business activities include developing, operating, marketing and financing ownership interests (“Vacation Ownership Interests”) in resort properties located in Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Indiana and Mexico.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

FASB Accounting Standards Codification

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which establishes the FASB ASC as the sole source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles.  Pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 105, the Company has updated references to generally accepted accounting principles in its financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2009.  The adoption of FASB ASC 105 did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Resort Property Held for Vacation Ownership Interest Sales

Resort property held for Vacation Ownership Interest sales is recorded at the lower of historical cost less amounts charged to cost of Vacation Ownership Interests sold or market.  Under FASB ASC 978, the Company uses the relative sales value method to determine the cost of sales to be amortized upon the sale of a Vacation Ownership Interest.  Under the relative sales value method, cost of sales is calculated as a percentage of net sales. The percentage is recalculated quarterly and is the ratio of total estimated costs to total estimated revenue from the sales of Vacation Ownership Interests.  Total estimated costs include the carrying value of the property plus estimated future additional costs related to remodeling and construction.  Total estimated revenue includes the effect of estimated and actual uncollectible revenue as well as changes in sales prices or product mix.
 
Revenue Recognition

Revenue from sales of Vacation Ownership Interests is recognized in accordance with FASB ASC 978, Real Estate – Time-Sharing Activities. No sales are recognized until such time as a minimum of 10% of the purchase price and any incentives given at the time of sale has been received in cash, the statutory rescission period has expired, the buyer is committed to continued payments of the remaining purchase price and the Company has been released of all future obligations for the Vacation Ownership Interest. Resort operating revenue represents daily room rentals (inclusive of homeowner’s dues) and revenues from food and other resort services. Such revenues are recorded as the rooms are rented or the services are performed.

ILX Resorts Incorporated
(Debtor and Debtor-In-Possession as of March 2, 2009)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Allowance for Uncollectible Notes

The estimate for uncollectible receivables is based on historical experience of the Company’s customer notes receivable.  In addition, current economic conditions are evaluated to determine comparability to historical conditions.

Land Held for Sale

Land held for sale is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell, consistent with the Company’s intention to liquidate these properties.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated on the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 40 years.  Property and equipment under capitalized leases are stated at the lesser of fair value or the present value of future minimum lease payments as of the date placed in service, and amortized on the straight-line method over the term of the lease.  Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are depreciated over the term of the lease.  Depreciation expense was $976,920 and $871,871 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including intangibles, property and equipment, and resort property held for Vacation Ownership Interest sales, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.  The Company evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment.  The Company uses an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows from the related asset or group of assets over their remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company does not consider any of its long-lived assets to be impaired.

Income Tax Interest and Penalties

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes.  FASB ASC 740 requires recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements.  The Company recognizes interest and penalties on the underpayment of income taxes as income tax expense.  At any one time, our tax returns for many tax years are subject to examination by U.S. Federal, state and non-U.S. taxing jurisdictions.

Segment Reporting

The Company has a single segment in the timeshare resort industry.  Revenue from products and services are reflected on the income statement under Sales of Vacation Ownership Interests and Resort Operating Revenue.

Net Income Per Share

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding.  Diluted income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental dilution of potentially dilutive securities (Note 7).

Stock Based Compensation

The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718.  FASB ASC 718 addresses the accounting for share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options.  Under the standard, the Company is required to account for such transactions using a fair-value method and recognize the expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

Cash equivalents are liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.  At December 31, 2008 and 2009, the Company had cash in excess of federally insured limits.  The following summarizes interest paid (excluding capitalized interest), income taxes paid and interest capitalized:
 
   
Year Ended December 31,

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued a new standard which requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired.  The FASB also issued a second new standard which seeks to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  These two new standards were effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of these standards did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued a new standard which defines collaborative arrangements and establishes reporting requirements for transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement and between participants in the arrangement and third parties. The new standard also establishes the appropriate income statement presentation and classification for joint operating activities and payments between participants, as well as the sufficiency of the disclosures related to these arrangements. The new standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2008, the FASB issued a new staff position requiring an initial transfer of a financial asset and a repurchase financing that was entered into contemporaneously or in contemplation of the initial transfer to be evaluated as a linked transaction unless certain criteria are met, including that the transferred asset must be readily obtainable in the marketplace. The staff position was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and was to be applied to new transactions entered into after the date of adoption.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued a new standard requiring enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities.  The new standard was effective for fiscal years beginning on or after November 15, 2008.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In June 2008, the FASB issued a new standard which provides guidance for accounting for nonrefundable maintenance deposits. It also provides revenue recognition accounting guidance for the lessor.  The new standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In June 2008, the FASB issued a new staff position clarifying that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Awards of this nature are considered participating securities and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share must be applied. The new staff position was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of this staff position did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2008, the FASB issued a new staff position and interpretation to require public entities to provide additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets and their involvement with variable interest entities. The new staff position and interpretation were effective for the first interim or annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of these standards did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued a new staff position, to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information.  The staff position also amends a previous accounting standard to require those disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods.  Under the new staff position, the Company will be required to include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues financial information for interim reporting periods.  In addition, the Company will be required to disclose in the body or in the accompanying notes of its summarized financial information for interim reporting periods and in its financial statements for annual reporting periods, the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position.  The staff position was effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In May 2009, the FASB issued a new standard which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  The new standard was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued a new standard which was adopted to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009.  Earlier adoption is prohibited.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Reclassification

The financial statements for the prior period have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period financial statement presentation.  The reclassification had no effect on net income.

Note 3. Reorganization Items

FASB ASC 852 requires separate disclosure of reorganization items on both the statement of operations and the statement of cash flows.  The Debtors’ reorganization items on the consolidated statements of operations consist of the following:

   
Year Ended December 31,
 
   
2008
   
2009
 
             
Estimated uncollectible revenue
  $ -     $ 2,273,216  
Loss on disposal of facilities
    -       391,433  
Loss on extinguishment HOA receivables
    -       219,363  
Trustee and other fees
    -       65,038  
Professional fees
    -       565,977  
                 
    $ -     $ 3,515,027  
                 
 
Estimated uncollectible revenue was increased for current and anticipated delinquencies to reflect in part the Company’s inability to send accounts becoming delinquent after the Chapter 11 filing to third party collections.  The loss on disposal of facilities includes the write-off of lease acquisition costs, deposits, leasehold improvements and other items related to the rejection of seven unexpired leases as discussed in Note 1.  Professional fees related to the reorganization are fees paid to legal and expert counsel and are estimated by the Debtors and will be reconciled when actual invoices are received.

The Debtors’ reorganization items on the consolidated statements of cash flows consist of the following:

   
Year Ended December 31,
 
   
2008
   
2009
 
             
Estimate uncollectible revenue
  $ -     $ 2,273,216  
Loss on disposal of facilities and other
            675,834  
Professional fees
    -       565,977  
Change in accounts payable
    -       3,787,175  
Change in accrued expenses & other liabilities
    -       772,554  
Notes payable
    -       1,412,789  
                 
 
The Company uses significant amounts of cash in the development and marketing of Vacation Ownership Interests, but collects the cash on the Customer Notes receivable over a long period of time.  Historically, the Company borrowed against and/or sold receivables to provide sufficient cash to fund its operations.  The Company is currently unable to borrow under any facility, but does have the use of cash collateral generated by customer payments under a motion granted by the Bankruptcy Court (see Note 1). Cash collateral received during the year ended December 31, 2009 was $5,386,080 and, in exchange the Company has pledged all new Customer Notes during that period.

Note 4. Liabilities Subject to Compromise
 
Liabilities subject to compromise (“LSTC”) refer to both secured and unsecured obligations that will likely be accounted for under a confirmed plan of reorganization.  Actions to enforce or effect payment of pre-petition liabilities are stayed.  FASB ASC 852 requires pre-petition liabilities that are subject to compromise to be reported at amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts.  These liabilities represent the estimated amount expected to be allowed on known or potential claims to be resolved through the Chapter 11 proceedings and remain subject to future adjustments arising from negotiated settlements, actions of the Bankruptcy Court, rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases, the determination as to the value of collateral, proofs of claim, or other events.  LSTC also includes certain items that may be assumed under the confirmed plan of reorganization and as such may be subsequently reclassified to liabilities not subject to compromise.  The Company has not included secured debt that is fully secured as LSTC nor any post petition obligations for rejected leases, but these obligations could be transferred or added to LSTC based on treatment in the final approved plan of reorganization.  All post petition interest on notes payable is accrued at contract rate without regard to default or other rate payable in the event of delinquency and included in accounts payable and notes payable LSTC.  The determination of how liabilities will be treated cannot be made until the Bankruptcy Court approves a plan of reorganization.  Liabilities subject to compromise consist of the following:

Note 5. Notes Receivable, Net

        Notes receivable consist of the following:

2009
 
Vacation Ownership Interest notes receivable
  $ 18,531,817     $ 20,041,212  
Holdbacks by financial institutions
    1,986,094       1,328,244  
Other receivables (Note 18)
    1,546,048       -  
Allowance for uncollectible notes
    (2,766,951 )     (5,740,554 )
    $ 19,297,008     $ 15,628,902  
                 
 
Notes generated from the sale of Vacation Ownership Interests generally bear interest at annual rates ranging from 11.9% to 17.9% and have terms of seven to ten years.  The Company also offers reduced rates of interest on shorter financing terms and with larger downpayment requirements.  The notes are collateralized by deeds of trust on the Vacation Ownership Interests sold.

The Company’s agreement with a financial institution for a commitment of $30 million, under which the Company sold certain of its Customer Notes expired in June 2008. The agreement provided for sales on a recourse basis with a purchase rate of prime plus 2.75%.  Customer Notes were sold at discounts or premiums to the principal amount in order to yield the purchase rate, with the premium held back by the financial institution as additional collateral.

The Company accounted for these notes sold with recourse as sales under FASB ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, since the Company received consideration other than the beneficial interests in the transferred assets and met the conditions of surrendering control.  As noted in the table above, the holdback portion is included in notes receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, the Company sold with recourse approximately $1 million of notes receivable generated from sales of Vacation Ownership Interests.

At December 31, 2008 and 2009, the Company had approximately $6.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively, in outstanding current notes receivable sold on a recourse basis.  Portions of the notes receivable are secured by customer deeds of trust on Varsity Clubs of America–Tucson (“VCA–Tucson”).

The Company also had a financing commitment for $20.0 million whereby the Company could borrow against notes receivable pledged as collateral.  The Company was unable to borrow under this commitment after its Chapter 11 filing in March 2009.  These borrowings bear interest at prime plus 1.5% (4.75% at December 31, 2009).  The $20 million commitment had a borrowing period which expired in December 2009 and the contractual maturity is in 2013 (see Note 12).
 
The following summarizes activity in the allowance for uncollectible notes:
 
   
Year Ended December 31,
 
   
2008
   
2009
 
Beginning balance
  $ 3,801,902     $ 2,766,951  
Estimated uncollectible revenue
    15,463,222       3,022,402  
Recoveries of amounts written off
    134,692       303,462  
Amounts written off
    (16,632,865 )     (352,261 )
Ending balance
  $ 2,766,951     $ 5,740,554  
                 


The Company considers all notes receivable past due in excess of 90 days to be delinquent.  Typically, uncollectible accounts are not written off until the underlying inventory is recovered via acceptance of a deed back or foreclosure, the timing of which is determined by the Company or as beneficial for income tax purposes.  During the third quarter 2008, the Company recorded an increase in its estimated uncollectible revenue of $14,549,432 and a reduction in cost of Vacation Ownership Interests sold in the amount of $3,281,615, the “allowance adjustment,” to record the reduction in its expectation of collectibility of both past due and currently performing Customer Notes and consumer notes sold with recourse and the recovered Vacation Ownership Interests as a result.  In conjunction with these entries the Company wrote off Customer Notes in excess of 90 days delinquent in the amount of $16,420,471, increased resort property held for sale by $3,281,615 and recognized an income tax benefit of $4,507,127.  The reduction in expectation of collectibility was based upon recent economic, financial and credit conditions.  In December 2009, the estimated uncollectible revenue was increased by $2.3 million to reflect increased current and anticipated delinquencies in part due to the Company’s inability to send accounts becoming delinquent after the bankruptcy to third party collections.  At December 31, 2009, $5.8 million in principal or $4.4 million net of the historical costs of the underlying property that would be recovered in the event of noncollectibility, or 22.6% and 17.2%, respectively, of the retained notes and notes previously sold, which are recourse to the Company, were more than 90 days past due.

Note 6. Resort Property Held For Vacation Ownership Interest Sales

Resort property held for Vacation Ownership Interest sales was $24.0 million and $23.8 million for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

In January 1998, the Company recorded in Maricopa County, Arizona its proprietary Premiere Vacation Club Membership Plan and in May 1998 annexed a total of 5,000 Vacation Ownership Interests into the Club and received Department of Real Estate approval in the State of Arizona to commence selling Vacation Ownership Interests in Premiere Vacation Club.  The Company has since annexed additional units and as of December 31, 2009, Premiere Vacation Club included a total of 25,700 Vacation Ownership Interests.  The 25,700 Vacation Ownership Interests annexed into the Club consisted of 4,884.5 Vacation Ownership Interests in Los Abrigados (including the Celebrity House and the Winner’s Circle suites), 340.5 Vacation Ownership Interests in the Inn at Los Abrigados, 2,998 Vacation Ownership Interests in Kohl’s Ranch Lodge, 1,212 Vacation Ownership Interests in the Golden Eagle Resort, 1,500 Vacation Ownership Interests in the Sea of Cortez Premiere Vacation Club (consisting of 25-year right-to-use Vacation Ownership Interests in San Carlos, Mexico), 3,028.5 Vacation Ownership Interests in VCASouth Bend, 2,906.5 Vacation Ownership Interests in VCATucson, 1,092 Vacation Ownership Interests in Premiere Vacation Club at the Roundhouse Resort, 194 Vacation Ownership Interests in the Roundhouse Resort, 2,233 Vacation Ownership Interests in the Carriage House, 4,420 Vacation Ownership Interests in the Premiere Vacation Club at Bell Rock, 717 Vacation Ownership Interests in the Rancho Mañana Resort, and 174 Vacation Ownership Interests in the Scottsdale Camelback Resort.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company reports substantially all Vacation Ownership Interest sales that it finances on the installment method for Federal income tax purposes.  Under the installment method, the Company does not recognize income on the financed portion of sales of Vacation Ownership Interests until the installment payments on customer receivables are received by the Company or the customer receivables are sold by the Company.

In November 2009, The Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009 (“the Act”) was enacted effective for periods ending on or after the date of the enactment.  The Act provides for the recovery of prior period federal income taxes paid resulting from the carryback of current year net operating losses for an extended five-year carryback period.  The increased carryback period allowed the Company to apply for tax recovery benefits from its 2008 net operating loss through carryback to 2006 and 2007.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had a federal NOL carryforward of approximately $5.2 million and a state NOL carryforward of approximately $12.0 million.  These NOL carryforwards expire through 2028.

Since its March 2009 Chapter 11 filing, the Company has use of cash collateral generated by customer payments on its hypothecation line.  The cash collateral is remitted by the lender based on collections and a monthly budget.  The Company has accounted for customer payments in excess of the amount received as cash collateral as a reduction in the principal balance of the loan.

At December 31, 2009, approximately $11.5 million of the Company’s notes payable are dependent on the amount of mortgage notes receivable pledged as collateral, all of which are included below based on their scheduled repayment terms and maturities.  The amounts below include amounts scheduled to be due and collected directly from customer payments on the notes receivable used as collateral.  The schedule below is based on contract terms which are currently stayed due to the Company’s Chapter 11 filing (See Note 1).  Since no Joint Plan or Plan has been confirmed, amounts due prior to 2010 have been included in 2010.
 
Future contractual maturities of notes payable at December 31, 2009 are as follows:
 
2010
  $ 12,711,379  
2011
    4,935,213

The Company is not in compliance with certain of its loan covenants which include Debt Service Coverage Ratios and Tangible Net Worth ratios.  In addition, the March 2009 Chapter 11 filing constitutes an event of default under the Company’s loan agreements.

 
Note 13.  Note Payable to Affiliate

At December 31, 2007, a note payable to former First Piggy LLC members in the principal amount of $600,000 (bearing interest at 8.0%) was outstanding, together with interest payable in the amount of $4,077.  The note provided for principal payments of $300,000 in each of 2008 and 2009.  In February 2008, $300,000 of the note payable was satisfied through the issuance of 100,002 shares of the Company’s common stock, and the remaining $300,000 principal plus accrued interest was paid in cash.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

        Operating leases are used to lease office space and equipment.  Future minimum lease payments on non-cancelable operating leases at December 31, 2009 are as follows:
 
2010
  $ 406,000  
2011
    70,000  
    $ 476,000  
         
 
A portion of the above amounts could become LSTC if the anticipated Joint Plan is approved.  Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009 was approximately $2,338,000 and $949,000, respectively.  Seven leases were rejected in 2009 as part of the Company’s Bankruptcy proceedings (See Note 1).

Legal Proceedings

As discussed in Note 1, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and limited liability companies are debtors in possession in the Chapter 11 case.

Other litigation has arisen in the normal course of the Company’s business, none of which is deemed to be material.

Other

The Company’s Genesis subsidiary has a potential obligation for future payment to holders of fund certificates, which arose from the reorganization of Genesis.  The holders of the certificates are entitled to receive 50% of the proceeds net of costs from the sale of certain Genesis properties.  A liability of $505,702 at December 31, 2009 has been recorded for the possible future payment based on estimated net realizable values of the properties.  These potential obligations as well as amounts due fund certificate holders for sales of properties are included in LSTC.

The Company, through Premiere Vacation Club, has acquired 1,500 one-week 25-year right-to-use Vacation Ownership Interests in 30 studio, one-and two-bedroom units in the Sea of Cortez Premiere Vacation Club.  The Company has the option to extend the right-to-use period for an additional 25-year period provided it is not in default under the right-to-use agreement.  The option is exercisable by the Company during the last five years of the initial term, at terms to be negotiated by the parties at that date.  The Company has accrued a liability of $100,356 at December 31, 2009 to provide for replacement of these weeks if necessary.

In October 2007, ILX-Bruno entered into a promissory note to borrow $2.0 million for working capital including planning, development and carrying costs of the 22 acres of land in Sedona.  The note bears interest at prime plus 1.5% with a minimum interest rate of 8.0% payable monthly (8.0% at December 31, 2009).  The principal balance on the note was due October 4, 2009.  In conjunction with this promissory note, the Company entered into a guaranty agreement with the lender under which the Company guarantees performance of the terms of the promissory note.

In April 2008, Sedona Vacation Club Incorporated homeowners’ association (“SVC”) and PVC entered into loan agreements to borrow up to $350,000 and $900,000, respectively, at an interest rate of 6.15% to finance renovations and the purchase of certain equipment.  The borrowings have a maturity date of March 31, 2011.  ILX Resorts Incorporated has guaranteed the borrowings, including interest, for both SVC and PVC and has entered into a Guarantee Fee Agreement with SVC and PVC under which it received a guarantee fee of 1% of the maximum principal amount under the loan agreements. The amounts outstanding under the loan agreements as of December 31, 2009 are $833,333 and all payments are current.

Preferred Stock

At December 31, 2008 and 2009, preferred stock includes 58,485 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock carried at $584,850.  The Series A Preferred Stock has a par value and liquidation preference of $10 per share and, commencing July 1, 1996, is entitled to annual dividend payments of $0.80 per share.  Dividends of $46,788 were paid in 2008.  As a result of the March 2009 Chapter 11 filing, discussed in Note 1, the Company did not pay the dividends in 2009.  Commencing January 1, 1993, on a quarterly basis, the Company must contribute $100 per Vacation Ownership Interest sold in Sedona Vacation Club to a mandatory dividend sinking fund.  At December 31, 2009, there are no notes receivable designated for the sinking fund.  Dividends on the Company’s common stock are subordinated to the Series A dividends and to the contributions required by the sinking fund.

The Series A preferred stock may, at the holder’s election and subject to any bankruptcy law, be exchanged for Vacation Ownership Interests in SVC at the rate of 1,000 shares of stock plus $2,100 cash per Vacation Ownership Interest.

At December 31, 2008 and 2009, preferred stock also includes 59,237 shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock carried at $161,815.  The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock has a $10 par value and liquidation value.   The Series C Preferred Stock no longer has any conversion or future dividend rights.  ILX may redeem the Series C Preferred Stock commencing November 1, 1996, at $10 per share plus payment of all declared but unpaid dividends.

Common Stock

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued 6,000 shares of common stock, valued at $17,376 to employees under the Stock Bonus Plan.  These shares have voting rights and therefore are included in shares outstanding.  The 6,000 shares are contingent upon the recipients being employed by the Company on January 15, 2011.  The $17,376 deferred expense is being amortized pro-rata over the vesting period and the unrecognized portion is included in deferred compensation on the consolidated balance sheet.  Deferred compensation of $13,328, representing 3,000 shares issued in January 2007 and 2008 was reversed in the year ended December 31, 2008 due to the termination of Stock Bonus Plan participants prior to vesting in the shares.  The Company also issued 100,002 restricted common shares valued at the fair value of $300,000 to six former members of First Piggy LLC as partial repayment of a $600,000 note payable to affiliates (see Note 13).  During the year ended December 31, 2009, deferred compensation of $42,128, representing 6,000 shares issued in prior years was reversed due to the termination of Stock Bonus Plan participants prior to vesting in the shares.

During 2008, the Company purchased 16,886 shares of its common stock for $32,658.

Note 16. Employee Stock Ownership Plan

On April 9, 1999 (effective January 1, 1999), the Company formed the ILX Resorts Incorporated Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (the “ESOP”).  The intent of the ESOP was to provide a retirement program for all eligible employees which aligned their interests with those of the Company.  Generally, all employees who completed one year of service, attained the age of 21 and completed 1,000 hours of service during the plan year were eligible to participate in the ESOP.  No contribution was made for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009.  At December 31, 2009, the ESOP held 474,099 shares and $4,153 in cash.  The Board of Directors voted to terminate the ESOP effective December 31, 2009.

Note 17. Share Based Compensation

Employee Stock Options

The Company had Stock Option Plans pursuant to which options (which term as used herein includes both incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options) could have been granted through 2005 to key employees, including officers, whether or not they are directors, and non-employee directors and consultants, who are determined by the Board of Directors to have contributed in the past to the success of the Company.  The exercise price of the options granted pursuant to the Plans could not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant.  All outstanding stock options required the holder to have been a director or employee of the Company for at least one year before exercising the option.  Incentive stock options are exercisable over a five-year period from date of grant if the optionee was a ten-percent or more shareholder immediately prior to the granting of the option and over a ten-year period if the optionee was not a ten-percent shareholder.  Non-statutory stock options are exercisable over a term determined by the Board of Directors.  No further grants may be made under the Plans.

Stock option transactions are summarized as follows:

The Company’s common stock price was $0.59 for December 31, 2008, thus there was no intrinsic value for options outstanding and exercisable.  All outstanding options expired in 2009.

Stock Bonus Plan

The Company’s Stock Bonus Plan was created to advance the interests of the Company and its shareholders, by encouraging and enabling selected officers, directors, consultants and key employees upon whose judgment, initiative and effort the Company is largely dependent for the successful conduct of its business to acquire and retain a proprietary interest in the Company by ownership of its stock.  In 2007 the Board of Directors resolved that all shares then issued under the plan would immediately vest upon a change in control.

Note 18. Related Party Transactions

In addition to the related party transactions described elsewhere in the financial statements, the Company had the following related party transactions:

During 2008 the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Genesis Investment Group, Inc. (“Genesis”), recorded the sale of 106 Vacation Ownership Interests to Premiere Vacation Club homeowners’ association, an Arizona nonprofit corporation (“PVCO”).  PVCO purchased the intervals at $2,415 per interval, the same price at which it has historically acquired intervals in arms-length negotiations with unaffiliated third parties.  A gain of $100,990 for the year ended December 31, 2008 was recorded on the sale and is included in “Income from land and other, net.”  At December 31, 2008, deeds of trust for 678 of the Vacation Ownership Interests secured outstanding indebtedness from PVCO to Genesis of $1,546,048 which was included in notes receivable.  The notes bore interest at 8.0% and were payable through 2018.  In December 2009, the notes receivable and related accrued interest were exchanged for the Vacation Ownership Interests.  A gain of $81,195 was recorded on this transaction and is included in “Reorganization Items: Loss on disposal of facilities and other” on the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company, together with James Bruno Enterprises LLC (“Bruno”), formed ILX-Bruno in August 2005 to purchase and develop three parcels approximating 22 acres of land in Sedona, Arizona from the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture.  The Company entered into an Operating Agreement with Bruno, as a member of ILX-Bruno, in which the Company was named as the manager of ILX-Bruno.  The agreement became effective upon the purchase of the property in October 2005.  The Operating Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to a Form 8-K filed on October 4, 2005 and is incorporated herein by reference.  The Company holds an outstanding promissory note from ILX-Bruno in the amount of $5,000,000 plus accrued interest of $862,500, a portion of which is eliminated in consolidation, which is in default to the Company.  In October 2007, ILX-Bruno entered into a promissory note to borrow $2.0 million for working capital including planning, development and carrying costs of the 22 acres of land in Sedona.  The note payable bears interest at prime plus 1.5% with a minimum interest rate of 8.0% payable monthly.  The principal balance on the note was due October 4, 2009.  In conjunction with this promissory note, the Company entered into a guaranty agreement with the lender under which the Company guarantees performance of the terms of the promissory note.  The Company holds an 85.0% interest in ILX-Bruno as of December 31, 2009.  ILX-Bruno is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2009 with Bruno’s capital contributions net of operating losses included as noncontrolling interest in subsidiary on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  ILX-Bruno is one of the entities that filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

In July 2007, the Company sold land and a building in Sedona, Arizona for approximately $0.9 million to Indian Wells Partners (“Indian Wells”).  Indian Wells is controlled by the father of a director.  The Company is leasing the property back under a five year lease agreement at $6,667 per month and had an option to and had agreed to repurchase the property for $1.1 million at the end of the lease term.  As consideration for the option, the Company agreed to pay $20,000 each year beginning August 1, 2007 for five years, all of which shall apply to the purchase price.  The Company accounted for the sale under the financing method and therefore no gain was recorded on the sale, the net cash received of $632,209 and the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the sales value, totaling approximately $794,277 at December 31, 2009, is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009.  In April 2008, the Company paid an advance deposit of $200,000 in satisfaction of the remaining option payments and the repurchase price was reduced to $800,000.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
In September 2007, First Piggy LLC was formed to further the promotion of the “First Piggy” concept.  First Piggy LLC entered into an Asset Purchase agreement with the Company and FPB Holdings Incorporated (a subsidiary of the Company) to purchase all intellectual and tangible personal property in connection with the First Piggy concept.  The purchase price was $130,000 in cash, a promissory note payable to the Company for $700,000 and a 20% interest in First Piggy LLC.  Certain executive officers and directors of the Company and others owned 48% of First Piggy LLC.  First Piggy LLC was capitalized with $600,000 from the 48% First Piggy LLC members (discussed above).  In November 2007, the Company entered into an Assignment of Membership Interest Agreement with the 48% First Piggy LLC members to purchase their collective 48% ownership interest for a $600,000 note payable.  In connection with this transaction, the Company assumed all assets and liabilities of First Piggy LLC and forgave the $700,000 note receivable from First Piggy LLC.  The difference between the note receivable balance and the net book value of the assets and liabilities assumed of $133,054 was treated as an equity distribution to the First Piggy LLC members.  In February 2008, $300,000 of the $600,000 note payable was satisfied through the issuance of 100,002 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The remaining $300,000 of the note payable plus accrued interest was paid in cash in February 2008.

In April 2008, Sedona Vacation Club Incorporated homeowners’ association (“SVC”) and PVC entered into loan agreements to borrow up to $350,000 and $900,000, respectively, at an interest rate of 6.15% to finance renovations and the purchase of certain equipment.  The borrowings have a maturity date of March 31, 2011.  ILX Resorts Incorporated has guaranteed the borrowings, including interest, for both SVC and PVC and has entered into a Guarantee Fee Agreement with SVC and PVC under which it received a guarantee fee of 1% of the maximum principal amount under the loan agreements. The amounts outstanding under the loan agreements as of December 31, 2009 are $833,333 and all payments are current.

In November 2008, the Company purchased the Sedona Station (the Sedona sales office building) from Martori Enterprises Incorporated for $846,739.  The purchase price consisted of $200,000 in cash and the assumption of an existing mortgage payable in the amount of $646,739.

Note 19.  Capital Leases

Leased assets included in property and equipment totaled $180,175 (net of accumulated amortization of $226,030) at December 31, 2009.  The lease expires in 2012.  Future minimum lease payments at December 31, 2009 are as follows:

ILX Resorts Incorporated
(Debtor and Debtor-In-Possession as of March 2, 2009)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

        The Company offers financing to the buyers of Vacation Ownership Interests at the Company’s resorts.  These buyers make a down payment of at least 10% of the purchase price plus the cost of any incentives given at the time of purchase and deliver a promissory note to the Company for the balance; the promissory notes generally bear interest at a fixed rate, are payable over a seven to ten-year period and are collateralized by a first mortgage on the Vacation Ownership Interest.  The Company bears the risk of defaults on these promissory notes.  The Company performs credit evaluations prior to Vacation Ownership Interest sales and the Vacation Ownership Interest deed of trust serves as collateral on the note receivable.  If a buyer of a Vacation Ownership Interest defaults, the Company generally recovers the Vacation Ownership Interest by receiving a deed back from the owner or through foreclosure.  The Company may resell the Vacation Ownership Interest; however, marketing, selling and administrative costs from the original sale are not recovered; and such costs must be incurred again to resell the Vacation Ownership Interest.

Interest Rate Risk

Because the Company’s indebtedness bears interest at variable rates and the Company’s customer receivables bear interest at fixed rates, increases in interest rates could cause the rate on the Company’s borrowings to exceed the rate at which the Company provides financing to its customers.  The Company does not engage in interest rate hedging transactions.  Therefore, any increase in interest rates, particularly if sustained, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Availability of Funding Sources

Prior to its March 2009 Chapter 11 filing, the Company funded substantially all of the notes receivable, resort property held for Vacation Ownership Interest sales and land inventory which it originated or purchased with sales of consumer notes, borrowings through its financing facilities and internally generated funds.  Borrowings were in turn repaid with the proceeds received by the Company from sales of notes receivable or from repayments by consumers of such notes receivable.  The current economic climate and the Company’s filing under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code provide additional challenges in securing financing facilities. To the extent that the Company is not successful in maintaining or replacing existing financings, it would have to curtail its operations or sell assets, thereby having a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Geographic Concentration

The Company’s notes receivable have been primarily originated in Arizona.  The risk inherent in such concentrations is dependent upon regional and general economic stability that affects property values and the financial stability of the borrowers.  The Company’s resort property held for Vacation Ownership Interest sales is also concentrated in Arizona.  The risk inherent in such concentration is in the continued popularity of the resort destinations, which affects the marketability of the Company’s products and the collection of notes receivable.

Note 21. Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value for financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Notes receivable

The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for notes receivable approximates its fair value because the interest rates on the portfolio of notes receivable approximate current interest rates to be received on similar current notes receivable.

Notes payable and capital leases

The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for notes payable and capital leases approximates its fair value because the interest rates on these instruments approximate current interest rates charged on similar current borrowings.
