ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

GENERAL

  Cobblestone Holdings, Inc. ("Cobblestone" or the "Company") is one of the
leading golf course owners and operators in the United States, with a current
portfolio of twenty-four golf properties including both private country clubs
and daily fee (or public) courses. The Company's courses are concentrated in
clusters near metropolitan areas primarily in the Sunbelt states (including
Arizona, California, Georgia, Florida, Texas and Virginia) which have large
golfing populations and attractive climates. This clustering strategy enables
the Company to efficiently manage its portfolio of courses and improve the
profitability of its courses by sharing many administrative functions and
capitalizing on joint marketing opportunities and economies of scale.

  The Company's business consists primarily of operating golf courses and
related facilities, with revenue generated from initiation fees and dues, at
private country clubs and semi-private courses, greens fees, food and beverage
concessions, golf cart rentals, retail merchandise sales, driving range fees and
lodging fees. The Company owns eighteen courses, leases four courses (subject to
long-term leases in excess of twenty years, including extension options), leases
one driving range and pro shop facility and manages one additional course. The
Company's portfolio includes ten private country clubs, nine daily fee
facilities and five semi-private facilities.

  According to the National Golf Foundation ("NGF"), there are approximately
15,700 golf courses in the United States, which generate approximately $15
billion in annual revenue. The operation of golf courses in the United States is
highly fragmented, with less than 5% of golf courses operated by the largest
fifteen multi-course management companies. The Company believes that the
majority of golf course operators, including real estate developers and
municipalities, are generally involved in golf course management because the
golf course is an important component of their development or community, but
such operators often do not have professional golf course management experience.
As a result, owners are often interested in selling the golf facilities to
third-party operators such as the Company. These owners frequently place
significant emphasis on experience and reputation for quality management in
selecting an owner/operator, and the Company believes that its reputation in
these areas has provided it with a steady supply of attractive acquisition
opportunities.

CORPORATE BACKGROUND

  The Company was incorporated on January 18, 1994, by shareholders of
Cobblestone Golf Group, Inc. ("CGGI"). On January 31, 1994, the Company issued
shares of its common and preferred stock in exchange for all of the shares of
CGGI. CGGI was formed in 1992 by Brentwood Golf Partners, L.P. (the
"Partnership"), a partnership organized by Brentwood Associates
("Brentwood"), and James A. Husband. In its five years of operation, CGGI has
become one of the leading golf course management companies in the United States.
Mr. Husband, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, has more than
20 years experience in the golf industry, and prior to joining the Company, had
been Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GolfCorp. (a subsidiary of Club
Corporation International), which he founded and built into one of the largest
public-course management companies in the United States.

The Company is incorporated in Delaware; its executive offices are located at
3702 Via de la Valle, Suite 202, Del Mar, California, 92014; and its telephone
number is (619) 794-2602.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

  There are three general types of golf courses: daily fee or public courses,
private country clubs and resort courses. Approximately 70% of the courses in
the United States are daily fee, or public, courses, and approximately 30% are
private country club or resort courses. Daily fee courses derive revenue
primarily from greens fees, golf cart rentals, retail (pro shop) sales and food
and beverage sales. Because the majority of golf course operating costs are
fixed, revenue and operating profit are generally maximized at daily fee courses
by generating the maximum number of golf rounds played. Private courses derive
revenue primarily from initiation fees, monthly membership dues, guest greens
fees and food and beverage sales. Revenue and operating profit are maximized at
private courses by maximizing the number of membership sales and the associated
monthly dues revenue. In addition, certain semi-private courses offer limited
access to the golf facilities to the public in order to maximize revenue.

  The Company believes that, despite recent golf course construction in some of
its markets, golf course construction in its markets generally has been
constrained as a result of several factors, including the lack of capital
available for real estate development, the significant land required to build a
golf course and related facilities (approximately 150 acres) and increasing
environmental regulation, particularly with regard to the availability of water
in Arizona and California, two of the Company's primary markets.


BUSINESS STRATEGY

  The Company's strategy is to grow its revenue and cash flow by (i) improving
operations and financial performance of its existing portfolio golf courses by
increasing revenue, controlling operating costs and selectively upgrading the
facilities and (ii) identifying and acquiring courses which will benefit from
the Company's management expertise. Key elements of the Company's operating
strategy include:


 INCREASE REVENUE

  Attracting New Members.   The Company aggressively markets its courses within
the local community in order to increase memberships at its private clubs. The
Company positions the golf course and related facilities as an integral social
center of the surrounding community by hosting social, educational and
recreational events, in order to attract non-golfing members. In order to
attract these "social" members, the Company often provides facilities for
community events and charitable organizations, as well as swimming, tennis and
fitness facilities, particularly at those courses that are part of a real estate
development. The Company also tailors the membership program to the facility,
including offering multiple types of memberships (e.g., senior, junior, weekday
golf only, tennis, swimming, social, etc.).

  Maximizing Tee Time Utilization.   The Company seeks to increase revenue by
expanding the capacity of its daily fee facilities. The Company frequently
implements several simple measures, such as opening seven days a week, opening
earlier in the morning or starting golfers on both the first and tenth holes
simultaneously. The Company also attempts to schedule tournament play into less
popular tee times; provide incentives for members of semi-private courses to
play on weekdays, thereby opening up prime weekend time for fully-priced public
play; and charge premium prices for prime tee times while discounting prices for
less utilized times (e.g., twilight play).

  Market Positioning.   The Company undertakes a comprehensive review of local
competition, identifying market rates for initiation fees and membership dues,
greens fees, guest and cart fees, private cart policies, and other key revenue
generators. In many cases, the Company is able to increase revenue merely by
raising prices to reflect market conditions and the course improvements
implemented by the Company's management.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
  Appeal to Core Golfing Population.   The Company targets core golfers in its
markets (defined by the NGF to be golfers who play more than eight rounds per
year). These golfers represent approximately 46% of the golfers in the United
States but play approximately 87% of the rounds. The Company believes that core
golfers represent a stable demand for golf and are generally more willing to
make a significant investment in a golf club membership and pay higher greens
fees than the golfing population as a whole. These golfers also tend to spend
more time at a golf facility and therefore generate higher ancillary revenues.

  Facilities Upgrades.   Following its acquisition of a golf course, the Company
generally upgrades or improves the facility in order to significantly improve
its appeal to customers and members. Where appropriate, the Company adds
additional courses (including nine hole additions) to existing facilities to
increase course capacity and invests in major clubhouse renovations to support
increased dues and fees. These expenditures are generally non-recurring.

  Focus on Non-Golf Operations.   The Company also focuses significant effort on
non-golf operations. The Company offers non-golf memberships where additional
facilities (such as swimming, tennis or fitness facilities) are available,
promotes merchandise sales, provides on-course concessions to boost food and
beverage sales, and offers catering and meeting and banquet facilities for
members.

 REDUCE OPERATING COSTS

  Reducing Administrative Overhead.   The Company continually seeks
opportunities to improve its margins by consolidating administrative functions
and eliminating duplicative personnel at its courses in order to reduce
operating costs.

  Economies of Scale.   As a multi-course operator, the Company is able to
achieve overhead and operating savings not available to owners of individual
properties. For example, the Company employs regional marketing staffs to serve
the courses in a cluster group, and is often able to eliminate an accounting
position at the course level by substituting a corporate controller who has
responsibility for multiple courses. In addition, insurance policies for many
properties, particularly those that are part of a geographical cluster, can be
consolidated under a master insurance policy. The Company's volume purchasing
ability also enables it to achieve savings not available to smaller buyers in
the purchase of almost all retail merchandise and maintenance equipment.

  Facilities Upgrades.   In addition to implementing facilities improvements in
order to generate increased revenues, the Company also makes capital versus
operating expense decisions based on known economic trade-offs. The Company
attempts to identify strategic opportunities to invest relatively small amounts
of capital in maintenance equipment in order to improve the facility and
simultaneously reduce labor or other operating expenses.

  Managing Water Costs.   At many of its courses, water is a significant
component of operating costs. The Company typically has two or more alternative
sources of water at each course.  The Company continually explores alternative
sources of water. For example, where possible, the Company uses treated effluent
water or constructs wells, rather than utilize more expensive municipal water
for course irrigation.


 ACQUISITIONS

  The Company is continually involved in the investigation and evaluation of
potential golf course acquisitions and at any time may be discussing possible
transactions, conducting due diligence investigations or otherwise pursuing
acquisition opportunities. The Company's growth strategy is partly driven by its
ability to expand its portfolio of courses.

  The Company conducts extensive due diligence when considering acquisition
candidates in order to evaluate the potential financial performance of a given
golf course. The principal criteria considered in the evaluation include course
location, the population size and demographics of the surrounding area, the
number of tourists visiting a market per year and the number of rounds of golf
played by these tourists, course condition, reputation among customers and/or
members, current operating efficiency and local competition.

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
  During the evaluation of a potential acquisition, the Company considers
carefully the ease of access to the course, the conditions and appeal of the
immediately surrounding land, the proximity of the competition and the climatic
conditions which affect both potential revenue as well as the cost of
maintaining the course. The population base of the surrounding metropolitan area
must be large enough to support both the potential acquisition as well as its
competition. If the acquisition candidate is a resort-oriented course, the
Company also evaluates the size of and trends in the tourist population. The
demographic make-up of the population must be such that a sufficient number and
density of golfers are present. In its evaluation of the operating potential of
a course, the Company looks for correctable operational deficiencies, potential
facility improvements which can be made with a moderate amount of capital
investment and which have a high likelihood of enhancing revenue and reducing
costs, as well as deficiencies in the course's position and reputation. The
competition is evaluated by examining the condition and appeal of the local
courses, the position and reputation in the local market, the likely potential
clientele, and finally, the price points at which the competition operates. In
addition, prior to acquiring a given course, the Company meets with private club
members or forms daily fee course focus groups to discuss the potential
acquisition and major anticipated changes in order to ensure a smooth transition
in ownership.

  In addition to the criteria outlined above, the Company incorporates specific
analyses which are dependent upon whether the course is private or daily fee. At
a private course, the set of considerations revolves around the type of members
the course targets, and the potential to increase dues or offer valuable
additional facilities such as banquet rooms, meeting rooms, tennis, fitness
facilities and child-care in order to expand membership. At a daily fee course,
a course may be significantly improved by adjusting greens fees to market level,
by adding or upgrading amenities such as golf cart rental facilities, improving
the pro shop, implementing marketing programs or by promoting tournament play.

  The following summarizes the primary components of the Company's acquisition
strategy:

  Clustering of Courses.   The Company seeks to acquire courses in its existing
geographic clusters, or to form new clusters near densely populated metropolitan
markets. The clustering strategy is designed to facilitate management and
marketing and improve the profitability of each course because of the ability to
share administrative and operating expenses. In addition, clustering allows the
Company to operate facilities with fewer on-site management personnel by
consolidating several course-level management jobs or eliminating them
altogether in favor of a single regional or headquarters position. A cluster
also provides cross-marketing opportunities such as exchanging play privileges,
advertising multiple properties in a single campaign and promoting tournament
play at a course within the cluster.

  Focus on Private Country Clubs and High-End Daily Fee Courses.   The Company
focuses on acquiring private country clubs and high-end daily fee courses which
attract core golfers in middle and upper-income brackets who are less price
sensitive than the typical public course player. Revenue and cash flows of
private country clubs are generally more stable and predictable than those of
public courses because the receipt of membership dues is independent of the
level of course utilization. In addition, private courses have an easily
identifiable target population which enables a targeted and efficient marketing
effort, particularly if the course is part of a larger residential development.
The typical Cobblestone daily fee course commands higher greens fees than the
average municipal course in its market.

  Reputation with Real Estate Developers.   Cobblestone has focused on acquiring
courses from real estate developers who have built golf courses primarily as an
enhancement to their residential real estate developments. The Company believes
that its experience and reputation for quality management provide it with a
steady supply of attractive acquisition opportunities from developers seeking
third party owner/operators to professionally manage the facilities.

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
  Focus on Favorable Golf Markets.   The Company targets golf courses in markets
with characteristics which it believes are favorable to golf course ownership
and management. For example, the Company concentrates on acquiring courses
convenient to metropolitan areas with dense populations but relatively few golf
courses in relation to the size of the golfing population. In addition, the
Company focuses on markets with a high number of playable days per year,
enabling the Company to maximize revenue and course utilization and thereby
capitalize on the operating leverage inherent in golf course management.

  To date, the Company primarily has targeted acquisitions in the Sunbelt
markets. Maximizing revenue is an important component of profitability due to
the high fixed cost nature of golf course operation, and these markets typically
have minimal weather risks and a high number of playable days per year (i.e.
high capacity). For instance, the number of playable days in Southern California
averages approximately 350, as compared to approximately 200 in the upper
Midwest. Thus, average rounds played per course in the Arizona and California
markets are substantially greater than the national average of approximately
33,000 rounds. Additionally, greens fee pricing in these markets tends to be
higher than the national average because of shortages of supply relative to
demand and the impact of tourists on pricing. Seasonal tourists have fairly
inelastic demand because greens fees represent only a relatively small portion
of overall vacation expenses. 


RECENTLY COMPLETED ACQUISITIONS

  The Company recently completed two acquisitions as a part of its ongoing
acquisition activities. In February, 1997, the Company acquired Eastlake
Woodlands Country Club ("Eastlake") located near Tampa, Florida. Eastlake is a
private country club with a 36-hole VonHagge/Devlin-designed course, as well as
a clubhouse, food and beverage facilities, pro shop and tennis courts.

  In addition, in April, 1997, the Company acquired The Champions Club of
Gwinnett ("The Champions Club") located near Atlanta, Georgia. The Champions
Club is a daily fee golf facility with an 18-hole Steve Melnyck-designed course,
as well as a clubhouse, food and beverage facilities and pro shop.

  In November, 1997, subsequent to the Company's fiscal year end, it acquired
Remington Golf Club ("Remington") located near Orlando, Florida. Remington is a
daily fee golf facility with an 18-hole Lloyd Clifton-designed course, as well
as a clubhouse, food and beverage facilities and pro shop.


DEBT OFFERINGS AND CREDIT FACILITY

  On June 4, 1996, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, CGGI, completed
two contemporaneous debt offerings (the "Offerings") totaling approximately $100
million. CGGI offered $70 million aggregate principal amount of 11 1/2% senior
notes ("Senior Notes") due 2003. The Company offered 86,000 Units (the "Unit
Offering"), each consisting of $1,000 principal amount at maturity of 13 1/2%
senior zero-coupon notes due 2004 and one share of common stock, par $.01 per
share, of Holdings.  The net proceeds of the Unit Offering was approximately
$28.1 million and was contributed as additional paid-in capital to CGGI.

  The primary use of proceeds of the Offerings was to repay existing bank debt
and accrued interest of $83.9 million, capital leases of $4.2 million, other
long term debt of $2.4 million, financing fees and closing costs of $6.0
million, and the remainder was used to partially finance the acquisition of
Eagle Crest Golf Club purchased in June, 1996. In addition, the Company obtained
a new $50 million bank facility (the "New Credit Facility") consisting of a $45
million revolver for future acquisitions and capital projects and a $5 million
working capital facility.

  In October, 1996, the Company exchanged the debt issued in June, 1996
("Private Notes") for notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Exchange Notes").

                                       5

COMPETITION

  The Company competes for members and players with existing golf courses. Where
the Company's courses are membership courses which are part of a housing
development project, competition is often limited. At those courses where there
is significant competition from other golf courses, the Company believes that it
competes less on the basis of price than on the overall quality of its
facilities, which is a function of customer service, the quality and the state
of maintenance of the facilities as well as available amenities.

  The Company believes it and its management enjoy a favorable reputation in the
industry. The Company principally competes for the acquisition of golf courses
on a national level with a small number of national golf course management
companies, which include National Golf Properties, Inc. (a publicly-traded real
estate investment trust) and Club Corporation International and for the lease
and/or management of golf courses on a national level with American Golf
Corporation and Club Corporation International. The Company also competes on a
local level with several smaller, regional companies.


EMPLOYEES

  As of September 30, 1997, the Company employed approximately 1,977 persons.
The Company believes that its employee relations are good. None of the Company's
employees are represented by a labor union.


GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION

  Environmental Matters.   Operations at the Company's golf courses involve the
use and storage of various hazardous materials such as herbicides, pesticides,
fertilizers, motor oil and gasoline. Under various federal, state and local
laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real property may
become liable for the costs of removing such hazardous substances that are
released on or in its property and for remediation of its property. Such laws
often impose liability regardless of whether a property owner or operator knew
of, or was responsible for, the release of hazardous materials. In addition, the
presence of such hazardous substances, or the failure to remediate the
surrounding soil when such substances are released, may adversely affect the
ability of a property owner to sell such real estate or to pledge such property
as collateral for a loan. Prior to acquiring golf courses, it is the Company's
practice to commission preliminary environmental assessments ("Phase I
assessments") to evaluate the environmental condition of, and potential
environmental liabilities associated with, such properties. Phase I assessments
generally consist of an investigation of environmental conditions at the subject
property (not including soil or groundwater sampling or analysis), as well as a
review of available information regarding the site and conditions at other sites
in the vicinity. The Phase I assessments have not revealed any environmental
liability that the Company's management believes would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, assets or results of operation, and the
Company believes that it is in material compliance with all environmental laws,
ordinances and regulations applicable to its properties and operations. No
assurance, however, can be given that the Phase I assessments reveal all
potential environmental liabilities or that such environmental liabilities,
whether or not material, may not arise in the future.

  General. The Company is subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act and various
state laws governing such matters as minimum wage requirements, overtime and
other working conditions and citizenship requirements. A significant number of
the Company's golf course personnel receive the federal minimum wage, and
increases in the minimum wage would increase the Company's labor costs. In
November 1996, an initiative passed to raise the minimum wage in California to
$5.00 per hour effective March 1, 1997, and to $5.75 per hour effective March 1,
1998. Also, the Federal minimum wage increased from $4.25 per hour to $4.75 per
hour on October 1, 1996, and again to $5.15 per hour on September 1, 1997.
Employers must pay the higher of the Federal or State minimum wage. The Company
will attempt to offset increases in the minimum wage through pricing and other
cost control efforts; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to pass such additional costs on to its customers and members. In
addition, the Company is subject to certain state "dram-shop" laws, which
provide a person injured by an intoxicated individual the right to recover
damages from an establishment that wrongfully served alcoholic beverages to the
intoxicated individual. The Company is also subject to the Americans with

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
Disabilities Act of 1990, which, among other things, may require certain minor
renovations to various clubhouses at the Company's properties to meet federally
mandated access and use requirements. The cost of these renovations is not
expected to be material to the Company. The Company believes it is operating in
substantial compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing its
operations.

    fiscal 1993. The Company also entered into a management contract to operate
    one course in fiscal 1996. The Company's results of operations include the
    results of acquired courses from their dates of acquisition and not for any
    periods prior to acquisition. As a result, the Company's historical results
    of operations for any particular period do not generally represent the full
    revenue and cash flow generating capability of its golf course portfolio as
    of the end of such period. The Company's results of operations for the year

    it is a widely accepted financial indicator of a company's ability to
    service and/or incur indebtedness. However, EBITDA should not be considered
    as an alternative to net income as a measure of the Company's operating
    results or to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. See

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

  The Company's business consists primarily of operating golf courses and
related facilities, with revenue generated from initiation fees, membership
dues, green fees, food and beverage concessions, golf cart rentals, retail
merchandise sales, driving range fees and lodging fees.  The Company owns and
operates eighteen courses, leases four courses (subject to long-term leases in
excess of twenty years, including extension options), leases one driving range
and pro shop facility and manages one additional facility.  The Company's
portfolio includes ten private country clubs, nine public facilities and five
semi-private facilities.

SEASONALITY

  Seasonal weather conditions reduce the playing season at certain of the
Company's golf courses.  As a result, the second half of the Company's fiscal
year tends to account for a greater portion of the Company's operating revenue
and EBITDA than does the first half.  This seasonal pattern, as well as the
timing of new course purchases or leases, may cause the Company's results of
operations to vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

PRIVATE MEMBERSHIP CLUBS; ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF INITIATION FEES

  The Company's private clubs generate revenues from initiation fees, monthly
membership dues and ancillary services such as golf carts, driving range, food
and beverage and lessons. As a club increases its membership base, the monthly
membership dues stream represents a significant percentage of its revenues.
During periods in which a club is substantially increasing its members,
initiation fees will represent a greater percentage of revenues and may cause
fluctuations in prior year period comparisons.

  The Company has designed its membership programs to maximize the long-term
profitability of its clubs. A key component of this strategy is structuring the
initiation fee to have a club's members make a meaningful investment in the
club. As a result, at certain of the Company's private clubs, the Company has
designed a program under which a new member generally will make an initial
deposit of 50% of the initiation fee upon joining a club, with the remaining
balance to be paid in equal monthly installments generally over a period of
three to five years pursuant to a note secured by the membership.

  The Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the deposit plus the amount of
the note, less a provision for doubtful accounts at the time the membership is
sold. These promissory notes generally do not bear market interest rates and are
recorded at net present value using the effective interest method. The Company
periodically reviews the collectibility of these receivables and provides an
appropriate allowance for credit losses. As a result, as of September 30, 1997,
the Company has estimated a reserve of $0.8 million for possible future bad
debts. For fiscal 1997, non-cash initiation fees constituted approximately $0.5 
million 0.6% of revenues.

                                       12

SOURCES OF REVENUE

  The following summarizes the primary components of the Company's revenue:

 GOLF REVENUES

  Membership Dues. The Company's private country clubs generate a significant
percentage of their revenue from the collection of monthly membership dues from
the members. These monthly membership dues (which vary by facility) generally
represent a stable and predictable source of income because they are independent
of golf course (or other facilities) utilization, do not vary seasonally and are
derived from a loyal customer base. The Company typically offers several
different memberships, including golf and non-golf programs. For fiscal 1997,
the Company had $23.3 million in revenue from membership dues, representing
approximately 28% of total fiscal 1997 revenue.

  Initiation Fees. The Company also generates a significant percentage of its
revenue from initiation fees received from new members. For fiscal 1997, the

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended September
30, 1996

  Operating Revenue.  Operating revenue increased to $81.9 million in fiscal
1997 from $62.1 million in fiscal 1996, an increase of $19.8 million or 31.9%.
Of this increase, $4.7 million is attributable to operating revenue for the two
courses acquired by the Company in fiscal 1997.  Operating revenue attributable
to courses acquired in fiscal 1996 but owned for all of fiscal 1997 accounted
for  $10.3 million of this increase. The remaining $4.8 million is attributable
to increased revenue from the Company's other facilities.

  Course-level Operating Expenses. Course-level operating expenses, which
include costs of golf course operations (e.g., salaries, taxes and utilities),
costs of food and beverage sales and costs of pro shop sales increased to $58.8
million in fiscal 1997 from $43.4 million in fiscal 1996, an increase of $15.4
million or 35.5%. Of this increase, $1.1 million is attributable to additional 
operating lease expense related to Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club and 
Sweetwater Country Club. Of the remainder, $3.5 million is attributable to
course-level operating expenses from courses acquired by the Company in fiscal
1997 and course-level operating expenses (before operating lease expense)
attributable to courses acquired in fiscal 1996 but owned for all of fiscal 1997
accounted for $6.9 million of this increase. The remaining $3.9 million is
attributable to increased operating expenses at the Company's other facilities.

  General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
primarily consist of corporate salaries and related expenses and legal and
accounting fees. General and administrative expenses increased to $4.0 million
in fiscal 1997 from $3.4 million in fiscal 1996, an increase of $0.6 million or
16.8%.  The increase in expense was related to expanded membership marketing 
efforts and additional overhead to support the Company's expanded operations.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of operating revenue was
4.9% in fiscal 1997, a decrease from 5.6% in fiscal 1996.

  Depreciation and Amortization Expense.  Depreciation and amortization expense
increased to $8.9 million in fiscal 1997 from $7.5 million in fiscal 1996, an
increase of $1.4 million or 18.3%. Of this increase, $0.5 million is
attributable to depreciation and amortization expense from courses acquired by
the Company in fiscal 1997 and depreciation and amortization expense
attributable to courses acquired in fiscal 1996 but owned for all of fiscal 1997
accounted for $0.5 million of this increase. The remainder is due to
depreciation and amortization expense on various capital projects completed
during fiscal 1997.

  Income from Operations. Income from operations increased to $10.2 million in
fiscal 1997 from $7.7 million in fiscal 1996, primarily due to the factors
described above. Income from operations as a percentage of operating revenue was
12.5% in fiscal 1997 and 1996. 

  Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, increased to $15.3 million in
fiscal 1997 from $11.7 million in fiscal 1996, an increase of $3.6 million or
30.6%, due to the additional debt incurred as a result of the Offerings and to
the increase in the level of outstanding debt incurred to finance additional
acquisitions.

  Provision for Income Taxes. The Company recorded a $49,000 provision for
income taxes, which reflects the fact that certain subsidiaries generate taxable
income in individual states and localities notwithstanding the Company's
consolidated loss for financial reporting purposes.

  Net loss. Net loss decreased to $5.1 million in fiscal 1997 from $6.9 million
in fiscal 1996. In addition to the factors discussed above, in fiscal 1996, the
Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $3.5 million from the write-off of
previously deferred debt issuance costs related to the debt that was paid off in
June, 1996.

 FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1995

  Operating Revenue.  Operating revenue increased to $62.1 million in fiscal
1996 from $49.9 million in fiscal 1995, an increase of $12.3 million or 24.6%.
Of this increase, $3.0 million is attributable to operating revenue for the two
courses acquired by the Company in fiscal 1996.  Operating revenue attributable
to courses acquired in fiscal 1995 but owned for all of fiscal 1996 accounted
for  $3.9 million of this increase. The remaining $5.4 million is attributable
to increased revenue from the Company's other facilities.

  Course-level Operating Expenses. Course-level operating expenses, which
include costs of golf course operations (e.g., salaries, taxes and utilities),
costs of food and beverage sales and costs of pro shop sales increased to $43.4
million in fiscal 1996 from $34.4 million in fiscal 1995, an increase of $9.0
million or 26.1%. Of this increase, $0.6 million is attributable to additional
operating lease expense related to Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club and
Sweetwater Country Club. Of the remainder, $1.9 million is attributable to
course-level operating expenses (before operating lease expense) from courses
acquired by the Company in fiscal 1996 and course-level operating expenses
attributable to courses acquired in fiscal 1995 but owned for all of fiscal 1996
accounted for $4.0 million of this increase. The remaining $2.5 million is
attributable to increased operating expenses at the Company's other facilities.

  General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
primarily consist of corporate salaries and related expenses and legal and
accounting fees. General and administrative expenses increased to $3.4 million
in fiscal 1996 from $2.5 million in fiscal 1995, an increase of $0.9 million or
37.0%.  The increase in expense was related to additional overhead to support
the Company's expanded operations.  General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of operating revenue was 5.6% in fiscal 1996, an increase from 5.0%
in fiscal 1995.

  Depreciation and Amortization Expense.  Depreciation and amortization expense
increased to $7.5 million in fiscal 1996 from $6.1 million in fiscal 1995, an
increase of $1.4 million or 22.6%. Of this increase, approximately $1.0 million
is attributable to the inclusion of the seven courses acquired during fiscal
1995 for a full year.

  Income from Operations. Income from operations increased to $7.7 million in
fiscal 1996 from $6.8 million in fiscal 1995, primarily due to the factors
described above. Income from operations as a percentage of operating revenue was
12.5% in fiscal 1996, a decrease from 13.6% in fiscal 1995. This decrease is
primarily attributable to additional operating lease expense related to Carmel
Mountain Ranch Country Club and Sweetwater Country Club totaling over $0.6
million.

  Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, increased to $11.7 million in
fiscal 1996 from $8.0 million in fiscal 1995, an increase of $3.7 million or
45.8%, due to the additional debt assumed as a result of the Offerings and to
the increase in the level of outstanding debt resulting from a full year of
interest charges on debt incurred to finance acquisitions during fiscal 1995.

  Provision for Income Taxes. The Company recorded a $0.2 million provision for
income taxes, which reflects the fact that certain subsidiaries generate taxable
income in individual states and localities notwithstanding the Company's
consolidated loss for financial reporting purposes.

  Net loss. Net loss increased to $6.9 million in fiscal 1996 from $0.7 million
in fiscal 1995, primarily due to an extraordinary loss of $3.5 million from the
write-off of previously deferred debt issuance costs related to the debt that
was paid off in June of 1996 and to increased interest expense, net, as
described above. In fiscal 1996, the Company finalized its insurance claim
associated with a fire at Pecan Grove C.C., which occurred during fiscal 1995,
and recognized a $0.7 million gain on insurance settlement.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  The Company's primary uses of cash are to fund debt service and maintenance
capital expenditures at its existing facilities (such as landscaping and
purchasing golf cart fleets). The Company also implements one-time upgrade and
renovation capital expenditures at its existing facilities in order to enhance
its appeal to customers and members and to generate additional revenues and cash
flow. Examples of these expenditures are the addition of courses (including nine
hole additions) to existing facilities to increase capacity and clubhouse
renovations to support increased dues and fees. These expenditures are generally
of a non-recurring nature. In addition, the Company implements strategic capital
expenditure programs which enable it to reduce course level operating costs and
improve the efficiency of operations, such as improving the irrigation system,
acquiring more efficient maintenance equipment and other programs which enhance
the marketability and/or reduce the operating expenses of existing facilities.
As part of its business strategy, the Company will require cash to continue to
acquire, lease or manage additional golf courses and the related facilities and
to complete any targeted renovations. The Company expended $15.0 million and
$8.3 million on acquisitions and capital improvements, respectively, during the
year ended September 30, 1997. As of September 30, 1997, the Company had
approximately $3.6 million of long-term commitments for one-time capital
expenditures with respect to a golf facility.

  Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated growth, the Company
believes that cash flow from operations, together with available borrowings
under the New Credit Facility and other sources of liquidity, will be adequate
to meet the Company's anticipated future requirements for working capital,
capital expenditures and scheduled payments of principal and interest on its
indebtedness. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company's business
will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future working
capital borrowings will be available in an amount sufficient to enable the
Company to service its indebtedness or make necessary capital expenditures.

  The Company intends to fund these expenditures primarily with operating cash
flow and borrowings under the New Credit Facility. The New Credit Facility
provides for borrowings of up to $50.0 million, of which $45.0 million is
available to fund future acquisitions of golf courses and capital expenditures
at such courses and certain capital improvements at existing courses, and $5.0
million of which is available for general working capital purposes. The total
borrowing availability under the $45.0 million portion of the New Credit
Facility will decrease over the term of the facility beginning September 30,
1998. The New Credit Facility provides that the Company may not make any
acquisitions or upgrade capital expenditures when Funded Debt plus certain
projected upgrade capital expenditures is greater than 6.5x of Adjusted EBITDA
(each as defined in the New Credit Facility), with certain adjustments for notes
receivable, reducing over time. The maximum Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio
was 5.75x at September 30, 1997. The New Credit Facility also imposes other
limitations on the ability of the Company with respect to borrowings. As of
September 30, 1997, the Company had $14.7 million outstanding under the New
Credit Facility related to acquisitions of golf course facilities. In addition,
as of September 30, 1997, the Company had $3.5 million of cash on hand to meet
its working capital and other needs.

  Historically, the Company has financed its operations through borrowings under
bank credit facilities and equity contributions by its stockholders. As of
September 30, 1997, the Company's stockholders have invested a total of $47.6
million to fund the expansion of the Company and its golf course portfolio.

  The Company generated $6.9 million, $7.3 million and $2.3 million of cash from
operations in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. In fiscal 1997, the
largest non-cash charges were depreciation and amortization and interest expense
on zero-coupon notes. In addition, decreases in accounts payable, accrued
liabilities and deferred revenue resulted in a $1.6 million use of cash from
operating activities in fiscal 1997. In fiscal 1996, the largest non-cash
charges were depreciation and amortization and the loss on the Company's early
retirement of debt obligations. In addition, changes in notes and accounts
receivable resulted in a $1.8 million use of funds and increases in accounts
payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue contributed $4.3 million to
cash provided by operations in fiscal 1996. During fiscal 1995, changes in notes
receivable and accounts receivable resulted in a $5.2 million use of funds.
Approximately $4.2 million was attributable to increases in notes receivable,
and the remainder was due to increases in accounts receivable.

  During the year ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, net cash used in
investing activities was $23.3 million, $13.4 million and $57.0 million,
respectively. During fiscal 1997, the Company had $15.0 million in acquisition
expenditures related to the acquisition of Eastlake Woodlands C. C. and The
Champions Club at Gwinnett C. C. During fiscal 1996, the Company had $6.4
million in acquisition expenditures primarily related to Eagle Crest Golf Club.
The acquisition was primarily funded with proceeds from the Offerings. In fiscal
1995, the Company expended $41.2 million on the acquisition of seven facilities.
In addition, the Company expended $8.3 million, $8.2 million and $17.7 million
in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, primarily for one-time upgrades at
courses designed to generate increased revenues and cash flows.

  During the year ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, net cash provided by
financing activities was $13.4 million, $11.9 million and $54.2 million,
respectively. During fiscal 1997, the Company made draws totaling $20.7 million
and repayments of $6.0 million on the New Credit Facility. During fiscal 1996,
the Company used $96.2 million of the $108.6 million in proceeds from long term
debt and equity investments primarily to pay-off its bank revolver and pay
financing fees associated with the New Credit Facility and the Offerings. The
Company relied upon bank borrowings of $37.6 million to finance its expansion in
fiscal 1995. A private placement of equity securities in March 1995 contributed
$8.6 million in proceeds in fiscal 1995. The Company also relies upon capital
leases when consistent with its financing objectives.

TRANSACTIONS WITH JAMES A. HUSBAND

  In connection with the formation of the Company in September 1992, Balboa Park
Management Co., Inc. ("Balboa"), a corporation owned by James A. Husband,
contributed to the Company the lease of the Balboa Park facility, associated
leasehold improvements and other assets, including driving range equipment, golf
carts, golf shop inventory and accounts receivable in exchange for (i) 25,292
shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Holdings and (ii) $235,270 in cash. The
consideration paid to Balboa in exchange for the lease of the Balboa Park
facility and the associated assets acquired from Balboa was determined by the
Company and Balboa to represent the fair market value of such lease and assets.
The lease of the Balboa facility originally was acquired by Balboa in January
1988 at no initial cost. However, rent is currently payable based upon specified
percentages of gross revenue, subject to a minimum rental floor.

  In addition, in connection with the formation of the Company, Mr. Husband
contributed shares of stock representing his 50% interest in Escondido
Consulting, Inc. ("Escondido"), a corporation that held the lease of the
Escondido facility, associated contract rights, permits and other assets in
exchange for 29,813 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Holdings.
Simultaneously, Escondido redeemed a portion of Mr. Husband's shares by issuing
him a subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000, upon
which interest accrues at a rate of 5% per annum and is payable in arrears on
the last date of each calendar quarter commencing December 31, 1992 and
continuing through October 19, 1999. The Company also acquired the remaining
shares of Escondido from the other shareholder for $400,000 cash. In all cases,
the consideration paid for shares of Escondido stock was determined by the
Company, Mr. Husband and Escondido's other shareholder to represent the fair
market value of such stock. Escondido was formed in 1990 by Mr. Husband and a
partner. The lease of the Escondido facility was acquired by Escondido in August
1990 at no initial cost. However, rent is currently payable based upon specified
percentages of gross revenue, subject to a minimum rental floor.

  In connection with the formation of the Company, Mr. Husband also agreed to
bring to the Company all future opportunities to acquire golf facilities of
which he became aware, including his then-existing options to acquire a portion
of the entity which owned the Foothills Country Club and to acquire the
leasehold interest in the Saticoy Regional Golf Club, as well as his opportunity
to acquire all or a portion of the entity which owned both El Camino Country
Club and an interest in Morgan Run Resort and Club. Mr. Husband subsequently
assigned all of such rights to the Company for no additional consideration, and
the Company completed such acquisitions.

               REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors
Cobblestone Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cobblestone
Holdings, Inc. as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended September 30, 1997.  Our audits also included
the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 14(a).  These
financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedules based on our audits.
          
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
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 Cobblestone
Holdings, Inc. at September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended September 30, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 Description of Business

  Cobblestone Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, was
incorporated on January 18, 1994. The Company, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Cobblestone Golf Group, Inc. (CGGI), owns and operates golf courses
in the United States, with a current portfolio of 24 golf properties including
private country clubs, semi-private clubs and public (or daily fee) courses. The
Company's courses are concentrated in clusters near metropolitan areas primarily
in the Sunbelt states (including Arizona, California, Georgia, Florida, Texas
and Virginia) which have large golfing populations and attractive climates.

  The Company's business consists primarily of operating golf courses and
related facilities, with revenue generated from membership fees and dues at
private country clubs, greens fees, food and beverage services, golf cart
rentals, retail merchandise sales, driving range fees and lodging fees. The
Company owns eighteen courses, leases four courses (subject to long-term leases
in excess of twenty years, including extension options), leases one driving
range and pro shop facility and manages one additional course. The Company's
portfolio includes ten private country clubs, nine public facilities and five
semi-private facilities.


 Principles of Consolidation

  The Company has acquired certain golf facilities through its wholly-owned and
majority-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and such subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.


 Cash and Cash Equivalents

  Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and time deposits with original
maturities of less than 90 days.


 Concentration of Credit Risk

  Management places the Company's cash investments with what they consider to be
high credit-quality financial institutions and routinely assesses the financial
strength of these institutions. Management believes no significant concentration
of credit risk exists with respect to these cash investments.

                                       34

                           COBBLESTONE HOLDINGS, INC.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

  Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited
due to the geographic dispersion of golf courses and the large number of golf
course members and others from whom the receivables are to be collected.

 Inventories

  Inventories are carried at lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

 Property, Equipment and Leasehold Interests

  Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets
which are generally as follows:
 
     Depreciable land improvements  ......      20 years
     Buildings and improvements  .........      30 years
     Equipment, furniture and fixtures.... 3 to 10 years

  Leasehold improvements, equipment recorded under capital leases and property
and equipment related to leased facilities are depreciated and amortized using
the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated
useful lives of the related assets. Costs associated with the acquisition of
leasehold interests in golf facilities have been capitalized and are amortized
over the remaining life of the related lease (4 to 35 years).

  Golf course facility construction in progress is carried at cost. All costs
associated with, or allocable to golf course facility construction in progress
are capitalized until construction is completed.


 Intangible Assets

  Costs in excess of net assets of businesses acquired are amortized over 20
years which is consistent with the depreciation of land improvements. Other
intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives (5 to 14
years).

 Debt Issuance Cost

  Costs associated with the issuance of long-term debt are capitalized and
amortized over the term of the related debt using the interest method. Such
costs and related accumulated amortization included in other assets totaled
$6,627,881 and $1,069,071, respectively, at September 30, 1997 and $6,627,881
and $300,971, respectively, at September 30, 1996.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

  To meet the reporting requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments, the Company calculates the fair value of financial instruments and
includes this additional information in the notes to financial statements when
the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial
instruments. When the fair value reasonably approximates the carrying value, no
additional disclosure is made. The Company uses quoted market prices and
management's estimates to calculate these fair values.


 Revenue and Deferred Revenue

  Operating revenue is recognized when received except for dues and fees paid in
advance which are recognized over the period which the dues and fees allow the
members access to the facilities. The Company recognizes revenue on initiation
fees for the amount of the deposit and the amount of the note receivable, less
the provision for doubtful accounts and imputed interest, at the time the
membership is sold.

  Long-term deferred revenue relates to the Company's obligation to provide
memberships to residential developers of properties adjacent to the golf
facility and is recognized when individual homeowners apply for membership.

  Seasonal weather conditions as well as the timing of new course purchases or
leases may cause the Company's results of operations to vary from quarter to
quarter. The second half (April through September) of the Company's fiscal year
tends to account for a greater portion of the Company's operating revenue and
operating income than does the first half.

 Reliance on Estimates

     The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and have required management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.


 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

  Effective October 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of
("SFAS 121"), which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived
assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than
the assets' carrying amount. SFAS 121 also addresses the accounting for long-
lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The adoption of SFAS 121 did
not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

 Stock-Based Compensation

  Effective October 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"). SFAS 123 allows companies to either
account for stock-based compensation under the new provisions of SFAS 123 or
under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25"), but requires pro forma disclosure in
the footnotes to the financial statements as if the measurement provisions of
SFAS 123 had been adopted. The Company has continued accounting for its stock-
based compensation in accordance with the provisions of APB 25.


2. ACQUISITIONS

  Since inception, the Company has acquired the property and equipment or
leasehold interest in twenty-three golf course facilities in transactions that
have been recorded under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the
acquired facilities have been reported in the consolidated financial statements
of the Company since the date of the respective acquisitions.

  The 1997 acquisitions include: Eastlake Woodlands Country Club acquired in
February 1997, and The Champions Club of Gwinnett acquired in April 1997.

  The 1996 acquisitions include:  Eagle Crest Golf Club acquired in June, 1996,
and Sweetwater Country Club acquired in July 1996.  In addition, the Company
entered into a management agreement for the Red Hawk Golf Club in October 1996.

  The 1995 acquisitions include: The Ranch Country Club and Stonebridge Country
Club acquired in December 1994, Red Mountain Ranch Country Club acquired in
January 1995, and The Hills of Lakeway, Live Oak Golf Course, Yaupon Golf Course
and Brandermill Country Club acquired in March 1995.

  In conjunction with the purchase of The Hills of Lakeway, the Company is
required to pay a deferred purchase price equal to the greater of $4,150 per
membership or 25% of Initiation Fees, as defined, collected for the first three
hundred memberships sold. The outstanding balance of the deferred purchase price
of $743,150 is scheduled to be paid in monthly installments through fiscal 2001.

  A summary of the aggregate acquisition costs and allocation of the purchase
price to the assets and liabilities assumed is as follows:

3. NOTES RECEIVABLE

  Notes receivable consists of promissory notes made by golf club members for
the payment of initiation fees. The notes carry below market or no interest
rates, amortize monthly or annually and generally have a term of three to five
years. Management periodically analyzes the collectability of the notes
receivable and reserves for the portion that is doubtful of being collected. The
notes are secured by the underlying golf club membership and the Company has
full recourse against the member. The Company's notes receivable balance was
composed of the following:

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
                                                                   
  On June 4, 1996, the Company and CGGI completed two contemporaneous high yield
bond offerings (the "Offerings") totaling approximately $100 million. CGGI 
offered $70 million aggregate principal amount 11 1/2% senior notes due 2003
(the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes are senior unsecured general obligations
of CGGI and rank pari passu in right of payment to all other senior indebtedness
of CGGI. The Company offered 86,000 Units (the "Unit Offering"), each consisting
of $1,000 principal amount at maturity of 13 1/2% senior zero-coupon notes due
2004 and one share of common stock, par $.01 per share, of the Company. The
Zero-Coupon Notes are senior unsecured general obligations of the Company and
rank pari passu in right of payment to all other senior indebtedness of the
Company. The net proceeds of the Unit Offering were $28.1 million and were
contributed as equity to CGGI.

  Concurrent with the Offerings, the Company repaid a bank term loan and a bank
revolving credit agreement of $77.4 million and $4.6 million, respectively, and
repaid obligations under capital leases totaling $4.2 million. The Company also
paid a promissory note related to the acquisition of two adjacent golf course
facilities which had a balance of $2.8 million at June 4, 1996, which resulted
in a gain on early retirement of debt of $0.4 million. This gain and a $3.9
million write-off of unamortized loan fees related to the bank term loan and
bank revolving credit agreement have been recorded as extraordinary items in the
consolidated statement of operations.

  In addition, on June 4, 1996, the Company and CGGI obtained a new $50 million
bank facility (the "New Credit Facility"), consisting of a $45 million bank
revolver for future acquisitions and capital projects and a six year $5 million
working capital facility to fund short term operating needs. At September 30,
1997, availability under the acquisition revolver and working capital facility
was $30,274,000 and $5,000,000, respectively. The New Credit Facility is secured
by substantially all of CGGI's assets, including the capital stock of CGGI and
its existing and future subsidiaries, and is guaranteed by the Company.

  The New Credit Facility provides that borrowings bear interest, which is
payable quarterly, at the Eurodollar rate or a Floating Rate, as defined, plus a
fluctuating percentage based upon certain financial ratios (7.962% at September
30, 1997) and requires a non-use fee on the unused portion equal to 1/2% per
annum. The bank revolver provides that borrowings are payable based on certain
specified percentages in quarterly installments commencing September, 1998 and
ending March 2002. At the end of six years, the working capital facility expires
and any outstanding unpaid principal is payable in full.

  The New Credit Facility requires mandatory reductions or prepayments of
principal as a result of certain events, provides for voluntary prepayments and
contains numerous covenants which, among other things, require the Company to
maintain defined leverage and interest coverage ratios, and limits the
incurrence of debt, capital expenditures and payment of dividends.  At September
30, 1997, the Company was in compliance with such covenants.

  Maturities of long-term debt (exclusive of capital lease obligations) for each
of the five years in the period ending September 30, 2002, are as follows: 1998-
-$146,807; 1999--$2,381,023; 2000--$3,581,115; 2001--$2,556,426; 2002--
$7,219,428; thereafter--$161,032,000.

6.   REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

  The preferred stock has priority upon liquidation over the Company's common
stock, and is also entitled to vote along with the common stock on the basis of
one vote per share of preferred stock. Shares of the preferred stock are
redeemable by the Company at any time, at the discretion of the Board of
Directors, for the purchase price of approximately $8 per share. Upon the sale,
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, the
sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, or the sale or
exchange of stock representing at least 80% of the voting power of stock of the
Company, the Company must redeem all remaining outstanding shares of preferred
stock at the redemption price as defined above. During Fiscal 1995, the Company 
issued 1,055,957 shares of preferred stock for proceeds totalling $8,629,824. As
of September 30, 1997, there have been no other issuances of preferred stock.


7. INCOME TAXES

  Income taxes are provided for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, the Company recognizes
deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax effects of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets
and liabilities, as well as operating loss carryforwards.

  Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities
are shown below.  A valuation allowance for $6,724,000, of which $2,742,000 is
related to 1997, has been recognized to offset the deferred tax assets as
realization of such assets is uncertain.

  At September 30, 1997, the Company has federal and state tax net operating
loss carryforwards of approximately $17,069,000 and $4,356,000, respectively.
The difference between the federal and state tax loss carryforwards is primarily
attributable to the fifty-percent limitation on California loss carryforwards.
The federal and state tax loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2011 and
2001, respectively, unless previously utilized.

     Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, annual use of the
Company's net operating loss and credit carryforwards may be limited if a
cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% occurs within any three year
period.

8. COMMITMENTS 

  In March 1995, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback transaction for
one of its golf course facilities. The Company received proceeds of
approximately $7.4 million and entered into a lease for fifteen years with two
five year renewal options. Minimum rent was $64,523 per month at September 30,
1997, and is subject to annual increases based upon changes in the Consumer
Price Index. The deferred gain on the sale and leaseback transaction of $499,000
is being amortized over the term of the lease.

  The Company also leases four other golf facilities. The leases expire in the
years 1998 to 2029. The Company recorded an aggregate of approximately
$1,700,000, $1,346,000 and $639,000 in rent expense related to leased golf
course facilities for the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

  The Company leases certain golf carts and maintenance equipment under capital
leases with terms of two to five years. Included in equipment, furniture and
fixtures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets is equipment under
capital leases totaling $5,141,790 and $3,269,314 at September 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively. Accumulated amortization of equipment under capital leases
totaled $1,286,734 and $391,893 at September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

  In accordance with certain purchase agreements, the Company is required to
maintain the respective golf courses in good condition and make various capital
improvements. As of September 30, 1997, the Company had a commitment to build an
additional nine holes at a facility with an estimated aggregate cost of
approximately $3.6 million.


9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

  In connection with the formation of the Company, an officer of the Company
contributed his interests in the leases of two golf course facilities in
exchange for 55,105 shares of preferred stock, $235,270 cash and a $250,000 note
due in 1999. The officer also contributed his options to acquire certain other
golf course facilities at no cost to the Company.

  An affiliate of the majority stockholder of Holdings provides investment
banking and consulting services to the Company. The Company is obligated to pay
a service fee to the affiliate semi-annually in advance in an amount equal to 1%
per annum of the affiliate's debt and equity investment in the Company and to
reimburse the reasonable fees and costs incurred by the affiliate in providing
services to the Company. The Company paid $588,031, $436,741 and $1,076,416 in
fees to the affiliate pursuant to these obligations during the years ended
September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.


10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

  The Company has an employee savings plan (the "Plan") that qualifies as a
deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Under the Plan, which covers employees of the Company who have met certain
eligibility requirements, participating employees may defer up to 17% of their
pretax earnings, up to $9,500.  The Company matches up to 20% of the employee's
contributions, up to a maximum of 4% of the employee's earnings.  The Company's
matching contribution to the Plan, which vests equally over three years,
amounted to approximately $49,000, $35,000 and $8,000 for the years ended
September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

11. STOCK OPTION PLAN

  The Company has a stock option plan whereby options to purchase 250,000 of the
Company's common stock may be granted.  Options granted have a 5 year term and
generally vest over 2 to 5 years from the date of grant.

  Pro forma information regarding net loss is required by SFAS 123, and has been
determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under
the fair value method of SFAS 123.  The fair value of these options was
estimated at the date of grant using the Minimum Value Method option pricing
model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1997 and 1996:  risk-
free interest rate of 6.1%; dividend yield of 0%; and weighted-average life of
the options of 3.3 years.

  The Minimum Value Method option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of nonpublic entities.  In addition, option valuation
models require the input of highly subjective assumptions.  Because the
Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different
from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input
assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in managements'
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

  For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the option's vesting period. The Company's pro
forma net loss for the years ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are $5,208,089
and $6,969,125, respectively.

                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               September 30, 1997

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  Cobblestone Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, was
incorporated on January 18, 1994 by shareholders of Cobblestone Golf Group, Inc.
("CGGI"). On January 31, 1994, the Company issued shares of its common and
preferred stock in exchange for all of the shares of CGGI. The transaction has
been accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of
interests and, accordingly, had no effect on the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.

  The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary CGGI, owns and operates golf
courses in the United States, with a current portfolio of 24 golf properties
including private country clubs, semi-private clubs and public (or daily fee)
courses. The Company's courses are concentrated in clusters near metropolitan
areas in the Sunbelt states (including Arizona, California and Texas) which have
large golfing populations and attractive climates.

  The Company's business consists primarily of operating golf courses and
related facilities, with revenue generated from membership fees and dues at
private country clubs, greens fees, food and beverage services, golf cart
rentals, retail merchandise sales, driving range fees and lodging fees. The
Company owns 18 courses, leases four courses (subject to long-term leases in
excess of 20 years, including extension options), leases one driving range and
pro shop facility and manages one additional course. The Company's portfolio
includes ten private country clubs, nine public facilities and five semi-private
facilities.


2. GUARANTEE

  The wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, CGGI, has a credit facility with a
bank and has borrowings of $14,726,000 under the facility outstanding at
September 30, 1997. Under the terms of the credit facility agreement, the
Company has guaranteed the payment of all principal and interest.
