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.
3
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.
4
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, VCA–South 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).

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.
12
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.
13
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.
14
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.
15
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.
16
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.

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.
22
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.

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.

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

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.
29
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.
COMPENSATION
COMMITTEE REPORT
The Compensation Committee has reviewed
and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b)
of Regulation S-K with management and has recommended to the Board of Directors

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.

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.
F-7
ILX
Resorts Incorporated
(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.

(Debtor

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

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.

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

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
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.

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

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

notes:

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Note 15. Shareholders’
Equity
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.

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

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

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.

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,

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.

20. Concentrations of Risk
Credit
Risk
The
Company is exposed to on-balance sheet credit risk related to its notes
receivable. The Company is exposed to off-balance sheet credit risk
related to loans sold under recourse provisions.
F-24
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.

22. Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated all events
subsequent to December 31, 2009 through March 30, 2010, the issuance date of the
Form 10-K, and concluded that there were no significant or material transactions
to be reported for the period except as disclosed below.
In
January 2010, the Debtors and their primary lender reached an agreement,
stipulated to the terms of the agreement in bankruptcy court, and are now
working on a Joint Plan in which most of the Debtor’s assets will be sold to a
third party.
