ITEM 1. BUSINESS (a) Business Development Lookaway Partners (the "Partnership") is a Pennsylvania limited partnership organized in November 1995 to pursue the development of a premier 18 hole, limited membership golf course and related facilities (the "Club"). As of February 2, 1998, the Partnership had a total of 218 Limited Partners, as compared to the anticipated maximum of 229 Limited Partners. No assurances can be given that the Partnership will not determine to increase its membership beyond 229 Limited Partners. The 25 Founders are also the shareholders in the corporation (the "General Partner" or alternatively the "Corporation") that is the general partner of the Partnership. The directors and officers of the General Partner are 14 of the persons known as the Series 1 Founders. Since the formation of the Partnership as a Pennsylvania limited partnership on November 17, 1995, the Corporation has served as the General Partner of the Partnership and is responsible for managing all aspects of the Partnership's business. (b) Business of Issuer Between November and December 1995, the Corporation executed five agreements to acquire the 217 acres referred to herein as the Buckingham Properties that include the site of the Club. Initial funding of $675,000 came from the purchase of securities by the 25 Founders, and thereafter, between February 1996 and March 1997, the Partnership sold an aggregate of 111 Partnership Interests in an offering of securities known as the Backers Offering, the principal purpose for which was to raise the funds to acquire the Buckingham Properties. In February and March 1997, the Partnership acquired for cash fee simple title to approximately 203 acres and entered into 99 year ground leases for the approximately 16 acres that in the aggregate constitute the Buckingham Properties and in connection therewith issued three Partnership Interests to certain sellers of the Buckingham Properties. While conducting the Backers Offering, the Partnership also began to pursue obtaining the necessary land use approvals and permits needed for the development of the Project. In February 1997, the Partnership received conditional final subdivision and land development plan approval from Buckingham Township. Initial construction of the golf course, consisting of timber clearing, began in March 1997. In October 1997, the Partnership received final subdivision and land development plan approval from Buckingham Township. As of February 2, 1998, it was anticipated that all 18 holes proposed for the golf course will be suitable for limited playing by the autumn of 1998, although 10 holes of the golf course may be suitable for playing prior to such date. However, no assurances can be given that the construction will be completed, or that the opening of the Club will occur or will not be delayed. The Partnership's sources of cash are (i) the sale of Partnership Interests expected to be approximately $9.6 million; (ii) anticipated proceeds in the amount of $1.2 million from the sale of six (6) lots (the "Re-Sale Lots") acquired as part of one of the Buckingham Properties known as the King Property, although no assurances can be given in this regard; and (iii) interest income in the amount of approximately $75,000. The Partnership's sources of cash are expected to be about $1.75 million less than the projected budget for the opening of the Club. The Partnership anticipates making up this shortfall by borrowing. The budget for the entire project from inception to the opening of the Club is anticipated to be approximately $12.65 million. No assurances can be given that the Partnership has not materially underestimated the amount of funds needed to open the Club. The projected budget as of February 2, 1998 is as follows: Land: Golf Course $2,990,000 Lots (6) 830,000 Closing Costs 68,266 $3,888,266 ------------- Engineering Fees: 400,000 Legal Fees 180,000 Architectural Fees: Golf Course 405,000 Clubhouse 95,000 500,000 -------------- Golf Course Construction 4,070,161

Clubhouse Renovations 1,950,000 Maintenance Building 210,000 Course Equipment 370,000 Membership/Marketing 300,000 Furniture/Fixtures 250,000 Interest Expense 65,000 Operating and Miscellaneous Expenses 417,500 Contingency 51,073 ---------- Projected Budget: $12,652,000 Construction Plan The Partnership has secured the services of Rees Jones, a prominent golf course architect, to develop the layout of the Club and to design a golf course which is intended to be comparable to renowned golf courses. In October 1997, the Partnership received final subdivision and land development plan approval for the construction of the golf course from Buckingham Township. The final approval provides that the land development plans are legended with reference to the Partnership's authorization to remove trees over and above the Township's ordinance limiting tree removal to a certain standard. The legend shall provide that in the event that the property is ever put to any other use other than a golf course, the base site area calculation shall be reduced by double the amount of tree removal in excess of this standard. In addition, the steep slope zoning requirement relief granted to the Partnership by the Zoning Hearing Board in its decision of September 16, 1996 applies only for so long as the property is being used as a golf course. The final approval also provides that the clubhouse is to be considered an accessory building and that it shall not be open to the public for purposes of a restaurant or similar facility but is limited to members and their guests. The final approval also provides that, prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, the parties are to develop a set of restrictions covering the use of the clubhouse and grounds that limit the use of the property for wedding receptions and other such events that would attract large numbers of people. In connection with obtaining this final approval, the Partnership agreed to accept certain treated waste water from the Township to irrigate the golf course. It is presently anticipated that all 18 holes proposed for the golf course will be suitable for playing in the autumn of 1998, although 10 holes of the golf course may be suitable for playing prior to such date. The Partnership believes that these dates are attainable, but these dates are dependent upon many factors beyond control of the Partnership including the reliability and schedules of contractors and subcontractors, as well as weather conditions. These dates are also subject to the availability of construction financing, the sale of the remaining Units in the Partnership's offering of Partnership Interests, and the sale of the Re-Sale Lots. No assurances can be given that the construction will be completed, or that the opening of the Club will occur or will not be delayed. The clubhouse renovations that are presently contemplated include a restoration and expansion of the farmhouse on Lookaway Farm to add a dining area to seat 50-60 people, a lounge area and men's and women's locker rooms. No assurances can be given that the Partnership has budgeted sufficient funds for this construction activity or that all or any of such proposed construction and renovations will be commenced or completed. Construction of the golf course and clubhouse renovations and improvements is being overseen and directed for the Partnership by a Construction Committee. The chairman of the Construction Committee is Robert Jeter. Other members of the Construction Committee include Bill Bierlin, Bill Black, Harry Ferguson, Larry Mann, Norm Kulujian and Steve Neidhart. 2
10KSB5th Page of 44TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
Construction Financing The Partnership has received a loan committment from First Union National Bank (the "Bank") for a $3 million construction loan (the "Construction Loan"). The construction period shall terminate on the earlier from twelve (12) months from closing or the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Up to $1.75 million of the Construction Loan may be converted into a term loan with a term of five (5) years, inclusive of the construction period. Up to $500,000 of the Construction Loan may be in the form of a letter of credit, the term of which shall be for twelve (12) months. This letter of credit would be used to replace the existing letter of credit on behalf of the Partnership with Buckingham Township. The amount of the Construction Loan shall not exceed seventy percent (70%) of the market value "as is" for the Partnership's land, buildings and improvements. The Construction Loan is to be used to finance the completion of the golf course and construction of a new clubhouse. The interest rate during the construction period shall be prime less 1/2% or LIBOR market index rate plus 2.25 %. During the term loan period, the interest rate shall be the same as the foregoing or the Partnership shall have the option to do a forward fixed rate hedge until the commencement of the term loan. The Partnership will be required to hedge all of the term loan floating interest expense by entering into an interest rate swap acceptable to the Bank contemporaneously with the closing of the term loan, pursuant to which the Partnership shall receive the amount necessary to pay the interest expense due under the term loan (exclusive of any default interest, any reserves or other adjustments provided for the loan documents) and shall pay the amount that would be equal to the interest rate that would accrue on the loan at a fixed rate. The Bank is willing to provide a forward swap to the Partnership upon mutually agreeable terms. The default rate of interest is 3% higher than the interest rate during the non-default period. The facility may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without pre-payment penalty or premium. As collateral, the Bank will take a first priority mortgage lien on the Partnership's real estate and improvements as well as all licenses, permits and approvals. The loan is subject to obtaining an appraisal indicating a value satisfactory to the Bank. The loan is also subject to an environmental assessment and a number of other conditions. The Bank is to receive one hundred percent (100%) of the proceeds from the Resale Lots. The loan agreement will be evidenced by loan documents. No assurances can be given that a loan agreement with the Bank will be executed, on these or any other terms. Agreement with Rees Jones, Inc. The Corporation entered into an agreement (the "Course Agreement") dated March 17, 1995 with Rees Jones, Inc., Montclair, New Jersey (the "Designer"), a corporation controlled by Rees Jones, a renowned golf course architect, providing for the design and inspection of the construction of the Club. The Course Agreement was assigned to the Partnership at settlement under the Lookaway Agreement. Certain of the duties of the Designer under the Course Agreement are summarized under "Business - Construction Plan", to which reference is made. The Partnership expects that the Designer's work will be completed by September 30, 1998. All plans, working drawings, specifications and sketches remain the property of the Designer whether or not the work for which they are made is executed. The Designer's performance under the Course Agreement shall be considered complete when and if the golf course area has been seeded or planted. The Corporation and Partnership have agreed to hold the Designer harmless against any liability arising out of the maintenance, operation or use of the Club. Agreement with Van Cleef Engineering The Corporation accepted the Fee Proposal of Van Cleef Engineering Associates (the "Engineers") dated July 12, 1995 and revised October 30, 1995 (the "Fee Proposal") and has entered into an agreement with such firm for professional engineering, land surveying and environmental services. Such agreement was assigned to the Partnership at settlement under the Lookaway Agreement. At present, the Engineers are working on a per diem basis. 3
10KSB6th Page of 44TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 6th
Agreement with Sandra Palmer The Partnership has engaged Sandra Palmer to be the Club's golf professional in a salaried position at a guaranteed annual compensation of not less than $100,000 plus additional compensation through the collection of fees for lessons and clinics. The agreement is terminable by either party upon 90 days notice. Operation of the Facilities Upon completion of construction of the golf course and related practice and maintenance facilities and completion of the initial renovations of the clubhouse, the Corporation intends to operate the Club on behalf of the Partnership. Each Limited Partner will be required to exercise his or her Membership Warrant and become a member of the Club, and to pay annual membership dues and to abide by the By-laws and other rules and regulations of the Club. All such By-laws and other rules and regulations will be subject to change from time to time. The 1998 annual dues are $4,500 per Limited Partner, payable in two (2) installments. The Partnership has not determined the amount of annual dues which each person using the Club will be obligated to pay after 1998. The Partnership projects that aggregate dues payments, guest fees, transfer fees, operating income and other fees will be sufficient to defray substantially all maintenance and operating expenses for the Club, although no assurances that these projections are accurate can be given. The Partnership has the right to assess members in the event of a capital need, and membership privileges and Partnership Interests can be lost in the event of a failure to pay such assessments. The Partnership intends no less frequently than annually to determine the amount to be paid for annual dues based on its estimates of actual and projected maintenance and general operating expenses and operating revenues, including guest fees, and the number of members. Employees The General Partner is responsible for hiring all personnel which it determines to be necessary to support the operation of the Club. Such personnel will include, but will not be limited to, a general manager, golf professional, head greenskeeper, assistant manager for golf operations and their respective support staff. The General Partner estimates that operation of the Club will initially entail the employment of six (6) full time persons year round, plus up to twenty (20) full time seasonal persons. Competition There are an abundance of private clubs with golf facilities in the Southeastern Pennsylvania region encompassing Lancaster, Lebanon, Berks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Lehigh, Bucks and Philadelphia Counties, from which the Corporation anticipates drawing the majority of its members. Many of these clubs offer more extensive facilities than those which the Partnership will offer and, in many cases, at a lower price. The Partnership believes that the quality of the golf course design, the limitation on the number of members, the absence of athletic facilities unrelated to golf, and the emphasis on golf under uncrowded conditions distinguishes the Club from most other golf or country clubs in Southeastern Pennsylvania. RISK FACTORS AN INVESTMENT IN THE UNITS IS SUBJECT TO A RISK AND IS SUITABLE ONLY FOR PERSONS OF SUBSTANTIAL FINANCIAL MEANS WHO HAVE NO NEED FOR LIQUIDITY IN THEIR INVESTMENT. THE PURCHASE OF A UNIT SHOULD ONLY BE MADE BY PERSONS WHO CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. THE PARTNERSHIP IS SUBJECT TO ALL OF THE RISKS INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LARGE REAL ESTATE PROJECT AND IS SPECIFICALLY SUBJECT TO ALL OF THE RISKS INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF A GOLF COURSE. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS, AMONG OTHERS. 1. Limited Construction Financing; Risk of Foreclosure Upon Real Estate. The primary sources of funds to pay for the construction of the Club are (i) the sale of the Partnership interests; (ii) to a lesser extent, the sale of the Re-Sale Lots; and (iii) an anticipated loan in the amount of $3,000,000, of which the Partnership expects to 4
10KSB7th Page of 44TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
borrow approximately $1,750,000, predicated upon the sale of the Re-Sale Lots for $1,200,000, as to which there can be no assurances. The Partnership has received a commitment letter from First Union National Bank for $3 million of borrowing. See "Business--Construction Financing." However, no assurances can be given that such borrowings will be consumated. In the event that the Partnership is unable to borrow the funds needed, the construction of the golf course and club house would be halted or delayed. If the Partnership is able to borrow the needed funds, it anticipates that such funds would be repaid initially on the basis of a twenty year amortization, over a five year term, at which time the balance would be refinanced, or paid off through the sale of new memberships, or through other steps. Partners will be required to make payments on account of this indebtedness. If the anticipated Partnership bank borrowings are not repaid, it is anticipated that the lender would have the right to foreclose upon the Partnership property. 2. Uncertainties as to Construction Costs; Uncertainty as to Permits. No assurances can be given that the projected construction and renovation budget will prove to be accurate. Although the Partnership believes that it has obtained all permits needed for the construction of the golf course, no assurances can be given that additional permitting will not be required. No assurances can be given that all permits required for the operation of the club will be obtained. 3. Risks of Delays and Unanticipated Expenses. It is not anticipated that any part of the golf course would be playable before August 1998, and the completion of all of the 18 holes proposed for the golf course and related facilities is not anticipated prior to the autumn of 1998. No assurances can be given that unanticipated problems will not arise or that there will not be significant delays. No assurances can be given that the golf course will ever be completed or that the Club will ever open. See "Business - Construction Plan." Apart from the risks associated with funding the development of the Project, completion of the construction of the golf course and related practice facilities are also subject to factors which may be beyond the control of the Partnership, including delays, increases in the cost or the unavailability of goods, materials or services, unforeseen problems which require capital expenditures to resolve or environmental considerations. Such factors may result in increased costs, delays and the corresponding reduction in the Partnership's working capital. 4. Uncertainty as to Amount of Proceeds From The Spin-off of Certain Acreage. The Partnership plans to sell six (6) approximately 1.8 acre development lots consisting of an aggregate of up to approximately eleven (11) acres. No assurances can be given as to the date that the Re-Sale Lots will be available for re-sale by the Partnership. No assurances can be given that the Partnership will be able to find buyers for the Re-Sale Lots at prices that will yield the net proceeds of $1.2 million that has been used for budgeting purposes. 5. Restrictions on Transferability. An investment in the Units is a long-term investment. There are a variety of restrictions upon the transferability of the Units: (i) The Partnership's Agreement of Limited Partnership provides that no Limited Partner may transfer a Unit without the consent of the Corporation as the General Partner of the Partnership, which consent may be arbitrarily withheld. Absent extenuating circumstances, the Partnership does not anticipate consenting to any transfer of a Unit by sale before 229 Memberships are sold. Other restrictions are set forth in the form of Agreement of Limited Partnership. (ii) The Partnership Agreement limits the right of a Partner to designate another as having the rights, privileges and obligations of Club Membership. (iii) It is anticipated that, once the Club is operating, the Partnership Interests (and underlying Membership) will be transferable to persons approved by the Club's Membership Committee who are on the waiting list. A transfer fee, in the amount of 10% of the selling price, or such amount then provided for by the By-laws, will be assessed on the seller. The Partnership Agreement imposes restrictions on the manner in which a Partnership Interest may be sold. No assurances can be given as to the existence of a resale market. An investor may not be able to find a buyer for his Partnership Interest. Nor is it likely that the Partnership Interests are acceptable collateral to be pledged to secure a loan. 6. Lack of Public Market. The investment represented by a purchase of the Units is illiquid and will remain illiquid. There is no public market for the Partnership Units or the Partnership Interests, nor is there any expectation that one will develop. The Partnership does anticipate establishing a mechanism to facilitate and govern the re-sale of 5
10KSB8th Page of 44TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
Partnership Interests. An investor in the Units may not be able to sell his or her Units readily, if at all, and therefore must be able to bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time. Although the Partnership Interests are transferable under conditions elsewhere described (see "Risk Factors - Restrictions on Transferability"), no assurances can be given as to the extent, if any, of demand for the Partnership Interests on a resale basis. 7. Uncertainty As to Amount of Annual Dues. Dues for 1998 are $4,500 per Limited Partner. The Partnership has not determined the amount of annual dues which each person using the Club will be obligated to pay beyond 1998. 8. Possibility of Assessments. After the opening of the Club, the Partnership may, once the General Partner reasonably determines the Partnership requires additional capital to maintain or improve the Club, require additional capital from the Limited Partners after the prior written consent of Limited Partners holding at least a majority of the outstanding Partnership Interests (other than the General Partner and any of its Affiliates, if any of them is a Limited Partner). In such event, the Corporation shall notify all Limited Partners of their obligation to pay additional funds to the Partnership pro rata on the basis of their respective Partnership Interest (an "Assessment"). If any Limited Partner fails to contribute such additional funds as may be required, the other Limited Partners shall have the right, but not the obligation, to loan to the Partnership the additional funds required. In the absence of any such loan, under the terms of the Partnership Agreement a Limited Partner's Interest may be sold as collateral for the obligation to satisfy the Assessment. No assurances can be given that Assessments will not be imposed. 9. Dependence on Key Persons; Lack of Management Experience in Golf Course Development. The Project is materially dependent upon the personal efforts and abilities of Bruce McKissock, the Corporation's President, as well as Harry Ferguson, William Waldman and Martin Woldow. The loss or unavailability of any of the foregoing could adversely effect the Project. However, none of the officers or directors of the General Partner has any experience in developing a golf course, although the Partnership believes that such persons have significant relevant experience. No assurances can be given that management's lack of experience in developing a golf course will not adversely affect the Project. 10. Limited Operating Revenues. The Partnership will have limited operating revenues after completion of the Project. The Partnership's sources of income will be primarily from membership dues and guest fees, and to a lesser extent, from membership transfer fees, sale and rental of equipment, and the sale of food and beverages. No assurances can be given these sources will generate sufficient operating revenues. The Partnership has the right to assess members for capital needs. 11. Limitation on Limited Partner Role. The Limited Partners, as such, are restricted from taking part in the management of the Partnership's business, which will be vested exclusively in the Corporation as the General Partner. Under the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, the Limited Partners will have very restricted rights to vote upon many important matters affecting the Partnership, including (a) the termination and liquidation of the Partnership, and (b) certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement (provided that such amendments may not affect the allocation of profits and losses among, or cash distributions to, the partners without approval of all the Limited Partners). 12. Tax Status of the Partnership. There is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") will determine that, under current law, the Partnership should be classified as a partnership and not as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, because the Partnership has not received and does not intend to request a ruling from the IRS on this issue. The General Partner has the right in its discretion to elect to have the Partnership treated as an association taxable as a corporation. If the Partnership should be held or elect to be an association taxable as a corporation, the tax treatment to the Partnership and the Partners might be materially adversely affected. 13. Conflicts of Interest; Contracts Between the Partnership and the General Partner and Between the Partnership and Limited Partners. The interests of the Corporation as the General Partner of the Partnership may not always be consistent with the interests of the holders of the Partnership Interests in their capacity as limited partners of the Partnership (the "Limited Partners"). Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the General Partner renounced its right to receive five (5) General Partners warrants as compensation for services rendered to the Partnership. The General Partner in the future may seek compensation for services provided to the Partnership. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Corporation as General Partner, and its officers, directors, shareholders and their affiliates may receive compensation for services performed on behalf of the Partnership, provided that such 6
10KSB9th Page of 44TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
compensation is on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than the terms on which such services would be available from independent third parties. The Partnership Agreement provides that a majority of the Limited Partners must approve agreements between the Partnership and any Partner, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership has determined that all proposed contracts between the Partnership and any Limited Partner also must be on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than the terms on which such services would be available from independent third parties, determined on a competitive bid process. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. In February and March 1997, the Partnership acquired for cash fee simple title to approximately 203 acres (consisting of Lookaway Farm, the King Property and the Murphree Property) and entered into 99 year ground leases for approximately 16 acres (consisting of the Montgomery Property and the Swanson Property) collectively referred to as the Buckingham Properties that are intended to be developed into and to include the Club. The 217 acre site includes the approximate 11 acres that the Partnership expects to subdivide as the six (6) Re-Sale Lots. Description of the Real Estate Agreements 1. Lookaway Farm. The following is a summary of the Agreement of Sale that was executed for the purchase of Lookaway Farm, one of the properties comprising the Buckingham Properties. This property was acquired on February 24, 1997. This description is expressly qualified by the exact terms of such agreement as amended. The General Partner executed an agreement dated June 28, 1995, as amended (the "Lookaway Agreement") with Carl A. Swanson, Jr., Rodney E. Montgomery, and Thomas E. Murphree, co-executors and co-trustees under Will of Theodore Sterling, deceased, and Carl A. Swanson, Jr., executor of the Estate of Marion P. Sterling, deceased (collectively, the "Lookaway Seller"), for the purchase of approximately 113 acres of land together with the buildings and improvements erected thereon located on Upper Mountain Road, Buckingham, Bucks County, known as "Lookaway Farm" ("Lookaway Farm"). The improvements to Lookaway Farm include a three (3) story stone 18th century farmhouse and three other smaller houses and one garage/studio structure. The aggregate consideration paid to the sellers of Lookaway Farm was $1,775,000. In addition, the Partnership paid settlement charges of approximately $28,000, consisting primarily of title insurance, transfer taxes and local real estate taxes. In addition, the Partnership is liable to pay any Act 319 or 515 roll-back taxes that may arise. Under the terms of the Lookaway Agreement, certain restrictive covenants limiting the future use of Lookaway Farm to that of a golf course or other similar non-residential, non-commercial open space were filed of record. Such restrictive covenants are subordinate to any acquisition and/or construction mortgage entered into by the Partnership that pertains to the acquisition or development of the Club. These same restrictive covenants are to take effect immediately upon pay-off of any such mortgage. In the event of foreclosure or other default proceedings against the Partnership, the restrictive covenants are dischargeable. The Partnership has further agreed that it shall not initiate or cause to be initiated any change in the character of the zoning district in which Lookaway Farm is located. 2. The King Property. The following is a summary of the Agreement for the Sale of Real Estate for the purchase of the King Property. This property was acquired on March 17, 1997. This description is expressly qualified by the exact terms of such agreement. The General Partner and Scott L. King ( "Mr. King") executed an agreement dated October 10, 1995 for the purchase of approximately 71 acres constituting the second parcel comprising part of the Buckingham Properties known as the "King Property." The aggregate consideration paid to or escrowed for the account of Mr. King was approximately $1,614,000. This sum includes an escrowing of $300,000 to cover verified capital gains taxes that may be incurred by Mr. King from the sale of his property. In addition, the Partnership paid settlement charges of approximately $19,000, consisting primarily of title insurance, transfer taxes, and local real estate taxes. In addition, the Partnership is liable to pay any Partnership Act 319 rollback taxes that may arise. In addition, as part of the transaction with Mr. King, Mr. King has leased a guest house located on Lookaway Farm on a month-to-month basis for up to 24 months for $100 per month plus all costs associated with his possession.

the terms of the King Agreement, at settlement Mr. King was issued a fully transferrable Partnership Interest with a non-transferable lifetime personal exemption from payment of the annual membership fees appurtenant to Club membership. 3. The Murphree Agreement. The following is a summary of an Agreement of Sale for the purchase of the Murphree Property. This property was acquired on February 24, 1997. This description is expressly qualified by the exact terms of such agreement. The Corporation executed an agreement dated November 1, 1995 (the "Murphree Agreement") with Janet S. Murphree for the purchase of approximately 16 acres ("the Murphree Property"). The purchase price paid by the Partnership to Mrs. Murphree was $350,000. This amount consisted (i) the base consideration of $105,000, (ii) $45,000 paid on account of Mrs. Murphree's election not to take title to a Partnership Interest and (iii) $200,000 paid on account of Mrs. Murphree's election not to take title to a Re-Sale Lot. In addition, the Partnership paid closing costs of approximately $5,700, consisting primarily of title insurance and transfer taxes. In addition, the Partnership has agreed to pay any Act 319 or 515 roll-back taxes that may arise from this conveyance or as a result of a change in the use of the Murphree Property. 4. 99 Year Ground Lease with the Montgomerys. On February 24, 1997, the Partnership entered into a 99 year ground lease (the "Montgomery Lease") with Rodney E. and Helen S. Montgomery for approximately 8.9 acres (the "Montgomery Property") of undeveloped real property contiguous to Lookaway Farm. The following summary of the lease is expressly qualified by the exact terms of the lease, which are incorporated herein by reference. The Montgomery Property is subject to an agreement relating to a rural residence exemption dated July 30, 1994 with the Bucks County Department of Health which provides inter alia that part of the Montgomery Property shall lose its status as being exempt from otherwise applicable requirements for an on-lot septic system if such parcel were to be subdivided. Because a conveyance of fee simple title from the Montgomerys to the Partnership would constitute such a subdivision, the Partnership and the Montgomerys terminated a prior agreement providing for the outright purchase of the Montgomery Property and instead entered into the Montgomery Lease. The Partnership has agreed to compensate the Montgomerys for all expenses in the event that the Bucks County Board of Health should determine that such rural residence exemption has been lost as a result of the execution of the Montgomery Lease or in the event of the exercise by the Partnership of its purchase option (as hereafter described). The expenses that the Partnership has agreed to cover include the cost of installing a septic system on the remaining property of the Montgomerys. No assurances can be given that the Partnership will not be required to incur the expenses associated with the loss of rural residence exemption. The term of the Montgomery Lease shall automatically earlier terminate if and when the Partnership terminates its use of the Montgomery Property as part of an 18 hole golf course. In the Montgomery Lease, the Montgomerys reserved the option to deed the Montgomery Property to the Partnership in fee simple. The amount of rent called for by the Montgomery Lease is $1. In addition, the Partnership conveyed to the Montgomerys one (1) joint and survivor Partnership Interest inclusive of a Club membership, inheritable by an heir of the survivor, together with a non-transferable joint personal lifetime exemption from the payment of annual Club membership fees. Such Partnership Interest was valued by the parties at $45,000. In addition, the Partnership made a $30,000 donation to Trinity Church, Solebury, Pennsylvania, and agreed to make additional $30,000 donations on January 1, 1998 and January 1, 1999. The Montgomerys reserved the right to direct that the donations to be made in 1998 an 1999 shall be paid to themselves in lieu of Trinity Church. Any right to take a charitable deduction for such donations is reserved to the Montgomerys. The Partnership has the right at its sole expense to construct on the Montgomery Property any and all improvements as it may determine are necessary for the development of an 18 hole golf course and related facilities. The Partnership is solely responsible for obtaining all permits and approvals and for paying all expenses and costs associated with any such improvements. The Partnership may only use the Montgomery Property as part of an 18 hole golf course and related facilities. The Partnership is responsible for all taxes on the Montgomery Property as if it were the fee simple owner of such property. In addition, if other property owned by the Montgomerys that is contiguous to the Montgomery Property is reassessed as a result of the Partnership's construction of the golf course and related facilities, all increases in the assessment of such contiguous property are the responsibility of the Partnership. The Montgomery Lease provides that 8
10KSB11th Page of 44TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
in the event of a condemnation, to the extent not prohibited by law there shall be separate awards to the Montgomerys and to the Partnership as their interests may appear. The Partnership has the obligation under the Montgomery Lease to obtain specified amounts of personal injury and property damage insurance, naming the Montgomerys as an additional insured. Both parties retain the right to assign the Montgomery Lease upon written notice. The Montgomery Lease provides for various events of default including a failure to pay rent or taxes or to obtain insurance or to pay an insurance premium. The Montgomery Lease also provides for a limited right to cure a default after written notice of same. The Partnership has retained the right to purchase fee simple title to the Montgomery Property for the sum of $1 provided that the Partnership pays any and all costs arising from the transaction including real estate transfer taxes, Act 319 or Act 515 rollback taxes and rural residency covenant expenses. As a precondition to the Montgomerys' obligation to convey fee simple title, the Partnership is obligated to execute and deliver a use restriction for the Montgomery Property restricting the future use of such property to a golf course or other similar non-residential, non-commercial open space. Such restriction, however, shall be subordinate in lien, payment and all other respects to any initial acquisition and/or construction mortgage related to purchasing, developing or refinancing part of a golf course and related facilities subject to certain provisions including that such restriction shall be void and extinguished automatically in the event of the delivery of a deed in mortgage foreclosure or deed in lieu of mortgage foreclosure of any such mortgage. 5. 99 Year Ground Lease with the Swansons On February 24, 1997, the Partnership entered into a 99 year ground lease (the "Swanson Lease") with Carl A. Swanson, Jr., and Sarah S. Swanson for approximately 4 acres (the "Swanson Property") of undeveloped realty contiguous to Lookaway Farm. The following summary of the lease is expressly qualified by the exact terms of the lease, which are incorporated herein by reference. As in the case of the Montgomerys, the Partnership terminated an agreement of sale to acquire the Swanson Property and entered into the Swanson Lease on account of the rural residence exemption that applies to the Swanson Property, which exemption would have been lost in the event of an outright purchase by the Partnership of the Swanson Property. No assurances can be given that this exemption will nonetheless not be lost, with resulting expenses to the Partnership. The amount of rent to be paid under the Swanson Lease is $1. In addition, the Partnership conveyed to the Swansons a joint and survivor membership, inheritable by an heir of the survivor, together with a non-transferable joint lifetime exemption from the payment of annual Club membership fees. Such Partnership Interest was valued by the parties at $45,000. The terms and conditions of the Swanson Lease are substantially similar to the Montgomery Lease except that the Swansons did not reserve the right to deed the Swanson Property to the Partnership in fee simple. The Partnership does not have the right to construct permanent above-ground structures, other than a pavilion or weather shelter, on the Swanson Property. If the Swansons find that construction of the 18 hole golf course creates objectionable views, the Partnership has agreed to provides appropriate screening, provided that the Swansons request same prior to completion of such construction. The parties to the Swanson Lease waived trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by any party against the other (except for personal injury or property damage) on any matter arising out of the ground lease. The Swansons granted the Partnership a limited first right to purchase the property of which the Swanson Property forms a part in the event that they should elect to sell same. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Neither the Partnership nor the Corporation is at this time involved in any litigation, nor, to the knowledge of the General Partner, is any litigation threatened against the Partnership or the Corporation which might materially affect the Partnership or the Corporation. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. Not applicable. ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. 9

(a) Market Information. There is no public trading market for the Partnership Interests. As of February 2 , 1998, the Partnership was offering to sell Series E Partnership Interests at a price of $60,000 per unit, and $100,000 for a Corporate Gold Partnership Interest. The Partnership is not aware of any private resale of Partnership Interests to third parties, and the Partnership has the right to disapprove of any transfer of a Partnership Interest until the Partnership shall have sold all Partnership Interests. There are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Units and its sub-parts. The Partnership Agreement provides further that no Limited Partner may transfer a Partnership Interest or any right or privilege of membership in the Club without the consent of the Corporation, as General Partner, which consent may be arbitrarily withheld. Absent extenuating circumstances, the Corporation does not anticipate consenting to any transfer of a Partnership Interest by sale before the Partnership issues an aggregate of 229 Partnership Interests. Certain intra-family transfer shall be permitted and the transfer to a spouse of a Limited Partner who acquired his interest as a Founder shall not result in the loss of the Initial Founders Dues Preference until the subsequent transfer, inter vivos, testamentary or intestate of the Interest by the initial transferee spouse. (b) Holders. As of February 2, 1998, the Partnership had 218 Limited Partners, including three Limited Partners who were issued Partnership Interests in connection with the Real Estate Agreements. (c) Dividends. The Partnership does not expect to pay dividends. (d) Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. (i) Between November 1995 and January 1996, the General Partner sold 25 Founders Units to the Founders for aggregate consideration of $625,000. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid or deducted from this sum. Each Founder's Unit consisted of (A) a warrant to acquire a Founders Partnership Interest in the Partnership, inclusive of a warrant for golf membership, and (B) a Trailing Warrant to acquire a Partnership Interest. These securities were sold under the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 504 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. (ii) Between January 1996 and June 1996, the Partnership sold an aggregate of 36 Partnership Interests inclusive of a warrant for golf membership for aggregate consideration of $1,356,000. These securities were sold under the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. (iii) Between June 1996 and May 1997, the Partnership sold an aggregate of 75 Partnership Interests inclusive of a warrant for golf membership for aggregate consideration of $3,357,000. These securities were sold pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933. (e) Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities. The Partnership's Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File no. 333-6454) was declared effective on April 22, 1997, upon which date the Partnership commenced the offering of securities registered thereby, which offering is still ongoing as of February 2, 1998. An aggregate of 90 Partnership Units were registered for sale at a maximum price of $5,349,005, inclusive of $825,000 to be received by Founders in connection with their sale of Trailing Warrants sold in connection with such offering. Through February 2, 1998, the Partnership had sold an aggregate of 79 Partnership Units inclusive of the sale by certain Founders of the Trailing Warrants, resulting in gross proceeds received and/or due to the Partnership and the Founders of $3,889,200 and $579,800, respectively. The Partnership incurred no underwriting discounts or commissions or finder's fees in connection with this offering. No payments were made to officers, directors or shareholders of the General Partner or to limited partners of the Partnership except for payments for services rendered to Eastburn & Gray, a law firm which John Vanluvanee, a limited partner and a director and shareholder of the General Partner, is a shareholder; Antheil Nicholas Maslow & MacMinn, a law firm in which Jeffrey Nicholas, a limited partner and a shareholder of the General Partner, was a partner; and to A.H. Cornell & Co., a construction firm owned by or affiliated with Stanley Cornell, a limited partner and a shareholder of the General Partner. 10
10KSB13th Page of 44TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
Through December 31, 1997, the Partnership had collected approximately $3.7 million from the sale of Partnership Interests in this offering. Such proceeds were expended approximately as follows: golf course related engineering fees, $150,000; legal fees, $125,000; golf course and club house architectural fees, $200,000; golf course equipment, $50,000; membership expenses, $175,000; miscellaneous operating expenses, $215,000; golf course construction, $2.2 million; and investments in short term interest bearing securities, $585,000. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION Plan of Operation During the next twelve (12) months, the activities of the Partnership are expected to consist of the completion of the construction of the golf course, the commencement and completion of clubhouse construction and rennovations, and the opening of the Club. In addition, the Partnership anticipates completing the sale of Partnership Units in its SB-2 offering. The Partnership also expects that it will market the Re-Sale Lots during the next twelve months, with a goal of selling some or all of the Re-Sale Lots. The Partnership also anticipates entering into a loan agreement with First Union National Bank for the borrowing of funds needed for the completion of construction and opening of the club. In addition, the Partnership also expects to engage in other organizational development activities. No assurances can be given that the Partnership will be successful in any of the aforementioned activities.

LOOKAWAY PARTNERS ----------------- (A Development Stage Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a. Organization and Nature of Business Lookaway Partners (the Partnership) was formed as a limited partnership under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in November, 1995. The Partnership owns, is developing, and will operate a golf facility located in Central Bucks County, Pennsylvania. In March, 1997, the General Partner completed the purchase of a 216-acre site for the golf facility. Simultaneously with the closings, the General Partner assigned its rights and obligations under the real estate agreements to the Partnership. b. Use of Estimates The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. c. Partnership Matters The Limited Partners are restricted from taking part in the management of the Partnership's business, which will be vested exclusively in the General Partner, Paunnacussing Founders, Inc. Under the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, the Limited Partners have restricted rights to vote upon certain important matters affecting the Partnership, including (a) the termination and liquidation of the Partnership, and (b) certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement. The interests of the General Partner of the Partnership may not always be consistent with the interests of the holders of the Partnership Interests in their capacity as Limited Partners of the Partnership. The General Partner is entitled to certain compensation from the Partnership and reimbursement of certain costs incurred by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership. The Limited Partners may not remove the General Partner prior to January 1, 2003. Thereafter, the Limited Partners may remove the General Partner with the prior written consent of Limited Partners holding 66-2/3% or more of the outstanding Partnership interests (other than the General Partner or any of its affiliates, as defined, if any of them is a Limited Partner).

LOOKAWAY PARTNERS ----------------- (A Development Stage Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) e. Income Taxes Income taxes are not payable by, or provided for, the Partnership. All tax effects of the Partnership's income or losses are passed through to the partners individually. There is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will determine that, under current law, the Partnership should be classified as a partnership and not as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, because the Partnership has not received and does not intend to request a ruling from the IRS on this issue. In addition, the General Partner has the right at its discretion to elect to have the Partnership treated as an association taxable as a corporation. If the Partnership should be held or elect to be an association taxable as a corporation, income taxes would become the responsibility of the Partnership and not of the partners. f. Reclassifications Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform to current account classifications. 2. PARTNERS' EQUITY a.

LOOKAWAY PARTNERS ----------------- (A Development Stage Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- 2. PARTNERS' EQUITY (Continued) d. Small Business Offering (SB-2) (Continued) The holders of the Trailing Partnership Warrants (the Founders) (see Note 2-a) intend to offer these warrants under the SB-2 offering. Each warrant will be exercisable for one Series E Unit. The Founders will be obliged in sequence to either exercise the warrant for their own account or for the account of a permitted transferee, or to sell the warrant to a purchaser in the SB-2 offering for $60,000, inclusive of the warrant exercise price. The sale of all of the Trailing Partnership Warrants would result in proceeds to the Founders of $825,000 (net of $675,000 which would be paid to the Partnership for the exercise of the warrants). Through December 31, 1997, one founder exercised the warrant for his own account, and 14 warrants were sold. An administrative fee of $600 is charged to each founder who sells their warrants. At December 31, 1997, the amount due to Founders represents the net proceeds from the sale of these warrants. This offering is being conducted on a "best efforts" basis, meaning that there is no minimum number of Units that must be sold before the Partnership will have access to the proceeds. The proceeds received from the sale of certain of the Units are to be held in escrow until specific conditions are met.

LOOKAWAY PARTNERS ----------------- (A Development Stage Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Through March 17, 1997 (the date the land purchases were completed), the General Partner expended approximately $547,000 (including accrued but unpaid expenses) consisting of engineering, architectural expenses, legal fees, other expenditures and certain operating expenses. Upon closing under the land purchases (see Note 1-a), the General Partner assigned and transferred these expenses, including related rights and interests, to the Partnership. Costs aggregating $116,743 during 1996, incurred by the General Partner in connection with the Confidential Private Offering and Regulation A Offering, including $98,409 paid to a company in which a Limited Partner has an interest, were transferred to the Partnership during 1996 and charged to partners' equity as a reduction of the proceeds received. Costs incurred by the General Partner in connection with the SB-2 Offering aggregating $44,850 during 1997, were transferred to the Partnership and charged to partners' equity as a reduction of the proceeds received. In connection with the above costs, upon closing under one of the land purchase agreements, the Partnership delivered to the General Partner a subordinated negotiable note bearing interest at 5.81%, payable on demand to the General Partner, in the amount of $118,000, representing approximately 1% of the anticipated total capitalization of the Partnership, for reimbursement of deferred development costs incurred by the General Partner. The cost of the golf facility under construction and offering costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 1997, include $637,859 and $40,233, respectively, paid to companies in which certain Limited Partners have an interest. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1997, and cumulative during development stage, include $192,726 incurred by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, and $822 paid to a company in which a Limited Partner has an interest. 4.

LOOKAWAY PARTNERS ----------------- (A Development Stage Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- 4. COMMITMENTS (Continued) b. Design and Inspection Agreement The Partnership is committed under an agreement for the design and inspection of the construction of the golf facility. The agreement provides for total fees of $400,000, however, the Partnership has the right to defer or abandon any of the work provided the designer is paid in full for all services previously rendered. The fees will increase 6% annually, since construction was not begin prior to December 31, 1996. The General Partner assigned its rights under this agreement to the Partnership simultaneously with the land purchases (see Note 1-a). c. Construction of Golf Facility At December 31, 1997, the total estimated cost to complete construction of the golf facility is approximately $4,000,000; the Partnership is committed for approximately $500,000 of this amount. 5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of estimated fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The carrying amount of cash and the amount due to Founders approximates their fair value because of their short maturity. It was not deemed practicable to estimate the fair value of the amount of the demand note payable - General Partner, since this financial instrument is not readily marketable. 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In January, 1998, the Partnership filed a notice of termination of registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission to terminate the Partnership's duty to file reports required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for periods after December 31, 1997. In connection with the land purchases (see Note 1-a), the General Partner was to receive five warrants for Partnership interests each exercisable at $1.00 upon the sale of 195 Units of the Partnership. In March, 1998, the General Partner rescinded its right to receive these warrants. F-15

A director of the Corporation stands in a fiduciary relation to the Corporation and shall perform his duties as a director, including his duties as a member of any committee of the Board upon which he may serve, in good faith, in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the Corporation, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, skill and diligence, as a person of ordinary prudence would use under similar circumstances. Absent breach of fiduciary duty, lack of good faith or self-dealing, actions taken as a director or any failure to take any action shall be presumed to be in the best interest of the Corporation. Liability of Directors. Under certain circumstances, a director will be personally liable for failing to perform his duties as a director. Pursuant to the by-laws of the Corporation, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable for monetary damages as such for any action taken, or any failure to take any action, unless he has both (i) breached or failed to perform the duties of his office pursuant to such by-laws or in accordance with the standards set forth in certain specified provisions of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988 relating to the performance of a directors duties and (ii) such breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. Other provisions not addressed herein apply to the responsibility of a director pursuant to any criminal statute or to the liability of a director for the payment of taxes pursuant to local, state or federal law. Limitation of Director Liability; Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The personal liability of the General Partner's directors is limited to the fullest extent permitted by Pennsylvania law. Under the General Partner's by-laws and Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law ("PBCL"), a director shall not be personally liable for monetary damages for his or her actions as a director unless: (1) the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of his office under subchapter 17B of PBCL; and (2) the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. Pennsylvania law further provides that this limitation is not available with respect to the responsibility or liability of a director pursuant to any criminal statute or the liability of a director for the payment of taxes pursuant to Federal, state or local law. Pursuant to the by-laws of the Corporation, each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding (a "proceeding"), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including without limitation, an action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent and manner authorized or permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys fees) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators. The foregoing right to indemnification is limited where the proceeding was initiated by the person seeking the indemnification. Under the by-laws of the Corporation, the indemnification shall be made by the Corporation unless a determination is reasonably and promptly made that indemnification of a director or officer is not proper in the circumstances because of the existence of grounds for denying indemnification under such by-laws or under applicable law. Such a determination 14
10KSB41st Page of 44TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 41st
may be made only by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such proceeding, by the shareholders, or under other specified circumstances. The by-laws of the Corporation provide that the Corporation may maintain insurance to protect itself and any director and officer against any such expense, liability or loss. The Corporation does not at this time maintain any such insurance, nor is it anticipated that any such insurance will be obtained. Section 16(a) Compliance Not applicable. ITEM 10. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. No compensation was awarded to any officer or director of the General Partner in 1997, except to the extent to which the sale of the Trailing Warrants, which were acquired by all Founders as part of their purchase of their Founders' Interests, might be considered as such. Nor was any compensation paid to the General Partner in 1997, except to the extent to which the reimbursement by the Partnership of $118,000 of expenses incurred by the General Partner in connection with the project might be considered as such. ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT. Each of the officers and directors of the General Partner is the holder of one Partnership Interest except for one person, who is the holder of two Partnership Interests as a result of his exercise of his Trailing Warrant. As of February 2, 1998, 13 of the Founders had sold their Trailing Warrants in the SB-2 Offering, and the balance of the Founders were expected to sell their Trailing Warrants in such offering prior to December 31, 1998. ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS. The 25 Founders are expected to receive a life-time preferential reduction in annual membership dues upon becoming a member of the Club (the "Founders Dues Preference"). It is anticipated that the Founders Dues Preference will be the lowest rate charged in the dues structure. If the Founders Partnership Interest is jointly owned with a spouse or transferred to a spouse upon the death of a Founder, the benefits and privileges of the Founders Dues Preference shall continue to the death of the survivor. Upon the death of such survivor or upon any earlier sale of the Founders Partnership Interest, the Founders Dues Preference shall lapse and be extinguished. The Founders and the Corporation are each party to the Founders Agreement pursuant to which the Founders acquired their Founders Units including their interests in the Partnership and the Trailing Warrants sold in the Builders Offering. The sale of all of the Trailing Warrants is executed to result in proceeds to the Founders of $825,000. The Founders Agreement also provides for certain terms relating to the governance of the Corporation, as described elsewhere. Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, in consideration General Partner the Corporation's services on behalf of the Project through settlement under the Real Estate Agreements, the General Partner was entitled at settlement on the Lookaway Agreement to five (5) warrants for Partnership Interests that are referred to herein as the General Partner's Warrants. After December 31, 1997, the General Partner amended the Partnership Agreement ab initio to eliminate the right to receive these warrants . Also at the closing under the Lookaway Agreement, the Partnership reimbursed the Corporation the sum of $118,000, representing part of the expenses incurred by the Corporation on behalf of the Partnership for the Project, by delivery of the Partnership's negotiable promissory note, payable on demand. Such note bears interest at the minimum rate required so as to avoid the imputation of interest under the applicable internal revenue laws of the United States with respect to annual payments of interest thereunder. Said note may be recorded but shall be subordinated to any financing required by the Partnership to complete the Project or operate the Club. Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Corporation, as General Partner, and its officers, directors and shareholders and their affiliates may receive additional compensation from the Partnership for services performed on the 15

Partnership's behalf, provided that such compensation is on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than the terms on which such services would be available from independent third parties. Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, upon a vote of a majority of the directors, a Founder may make a loan to the Corporation or the Partnership. Such loans shall be upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the lender shall agree, but all Founders shall be entitled to interest at no more than the then prevailing prime rate of interest plus one percent (1%) and shall be entitled to receive collateral for any loans made, including the granting of a mortgage on any of the Buckingham Properties. If any such mortgage is granted, however, the Founder shall subordinate such mortgage to any institutional financing that is later secured. Any such mortgage shall further restrict the lender from declaring a default in the repayment of the note. No Founder shall be required to cross-guaranty any loan made by any other Founder. ITEM 13.
