Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The following report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange
Act. Forward-looking statements are statements that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. All of our projections in this Annual Report are
forward-looking statements. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words "believe," "expect," "will," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "project,"
"assume" or other similar expressions. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to known (and unknown) risks, uncertainties
and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our forward-looking statements are based on the limited information currently available to our company and speak only as of the
date on which this report was filed with the Securities Exchange Commission, or SEC. Our continued internet posting or subsequent distribution of this dated Annual Report does not imply continued
affirmation of the forward-looking statements included in it. We undertake no obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to issue any updates to our forward-looking statements, even if
subsequent events cause our expectations to change regarding the matters discussed in those statements. Future events are inherently uncertain. Moreover, it is particularly difficult to predict when
we will complete an acquisition and the ultimate impact on the Company thereof. Accordingly, our projections in this Annual Report are subject to uncertainty. Our projections should not be regarded as
legal promises, representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever. Over time, our actual results, performance or achievements will likely differ from the anticipated results, performance or
achievements that are expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, and such difference might be significant and harmful to our stockholders' interests. Many important factors that could
cause such a difference are described under the caption "Risk Factors," in Item 1A of this Annual Report, which you should review carefully.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Significant Events since the filing of our last Quarterly Report

Significant events occurring since November 7, 2007 (the filing date of our Form 10Q for the third quarter of 2007) include:

General Description of our Business

We were originally formed to capitalize upon consolidation opportunities in the ownership of upscale golf courses throughout the United States. Golf Trust of
America, Inc., referenced in this report as GTA, was incorporated in Maryland on November 8, 1996. We were structured as an "UPREIT," which is a structure in which a public REIT acts as
general partner of an operating

2

---



partnership.
Since 2002 we no longer qualify as a REIT. Our interests in our golf courses are held through Golf Trust of America, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership that we control, and, in
one instance, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Golf Trust of America, L.P. We refer to this partnership and its subsidiaries as our operating partnership. In this Annual Report, the term
"company," "we" or "us" generally includes GTA, the operating partnership and all of our subsidiaries.

From
1997 through 1999, we acquired interests in 47 golf courses, including a security interest in the four golf courses at the Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club (the "Resort"), which is
located near Tampa, Florida.

On
February 25, 2001, our board of directors adopted, and on May 22, 2001 the holders of our common and preferred stock approved, a plan of liquidation, or
"POL" for our company. The POL contemplated the sale of all of our assets and the payment of, or provision for, our liabilities and expenses, and authorized us to establish a reserve to
fund our contingent liabilities. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we adopted the liquidation basis of accounting for all accounting periods beginning on or after
May 22, 2001. Subsequently, the Company sold 45 of the 47 (18-hole equivalent) golf courses in which the Company once held interests pursuant to the POL.

Following
the sale of the Resort and the redemption of the Company's Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock on July 16, 2007, the Board, believing that
the termination of the POL affords the Company flexibility in maximizing value for its stockholders, adopted a resolution declaring it advisable to terminate the POL. On November 8, 2007, the
Company's stockholders approved the proposal to terminate the POL. Therefore, financial statements subsequent to this date are presented under the going concern basis as an operating company rather
than under the liquidation basis of accounting.

Operating
the Company as a going concern allows the Company to pursue alternative business strategies, including a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other growth
initiative. The Board is still permitted to pursue the sale of the Company's final property and/or consider the liquidation of the Company in the event that it is unable to identify and effect a
viable alternative, but it would no longer be required to do so by the terms of the POL.

Our
executive offices are located at 10 North Adger's Wharf, Charleston, South Carolina 29401 and our telephone number is (843) 723-GOLF (4653).

The Operating Partnership and our Subsidiaries

We originally acquired a number of golf courses as contributions to our operating partnership in exchange for partnership equity in the form of units of limited
partnership interests, called operating partnership, or OP, units. In those cases, prior owners of those golf courses became limited partners in our operating partnership. Our operating partnership,
through its subsidiaries, is the legal owner of our remaining golf courses. GTA GP, Inc. is the sole general partner of the operating partnership and GTA LP, Inc. is a
limited partner of the operating partnership.

GTA
has two wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries, GTA GP, Inc. and GTA LP, Inc., each of which is a Maryland corporation. These subsidiaries exist to hold
GTA's general and limited partnership interests in our operating partnership. We also have a number of wholly-owned subsidiaries, typically limited liability companies, which were established to
manage the operations of the golf courses after termination of the lessees' leasehold interest therein, most of which are currently inactive.

Employees

At March 25, 2008, our corporate office had four full-time employees (including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer)
and one part-time staff accountant. Further staff downsizing steps have been implemented as part of the cost reduction initiatives related to the

3

---



Company's
corporate overhead. In addition, as of March 25, 2008, Stonehenge had approximately 43 full-time employees and 48 part-time employees, some of which are
seasonal in nature. We are the co-employer of both the staff at the corporate office and the employees at Stonehenge as we lease their services from an independent employee leasing
company.

Environmental Matters

Operations at our golf courses involve the use and storage of various hazardous materials such as herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, motor oils 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 removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances
released on or in its property. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release of hazardous substances. The presence of
these substances, or the failure to remediate these substances properly when released, may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell the real estate or to borrow using the real estate as
collateral.

We
currently have not been notified by any governmental authority of any material non-compliance, liability or other claim in connection with Stonehenge. At the time of our
various acquisitions, all of our golf courses were subjected to Phase I environmental audits (which do not involve invasive procedures, such as soil sampling or ground water analysis) by an
independent environmental consultant.

Government Regulation

Our golf courses, like most public businesses, are subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or the ADA. The ADA has separate compliance
requirements for "public accommodations" and "commercial facilities," but generally requires public facilities such as clubhouses and recreation areas to be accessible to people with disabilities.
Compliance with the ADA requirements could require removal of access barriers and the construction of capital improvements at our golf courses. Noncompliance could result in imposition of fines or an
award of damages to private litigants. We are responsible for related costs incurred at the golf properties to comply with ADA requirements.

Competition

Stonehenge is subject to competition for players and members from golf courses owned by others and located in the same geographic area. Despite this competition,
Stonehenge has been able to maintain a stable membership base.

Seasonality

See Item 1A in this Annual Report for a discussion of golf course seasonality.

Foreign Operations

We do not engage in any foreign operations or derive any revenue directly from foreign sources.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer and our principal accounting officer, as well as to all of our directors and our
other officers and employees. Our Code of Ethics is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 14.1 to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Any waivers of the Code
of Ethics for directors or executive officers must be approved by our board of directors and disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC within five days of the waiver. No such
waivers have been requested or granted.

Web Site Access to our Periodic SEC Reports

Our primary Internet address is www.golftrust.com. We make our periodic SEC Reports (Forms 10-Q and Forms 10-K), current
reports (Form 8-K) and our directors and officers beneficial ownership reports (Forms 3, 4 and 5) available free of charge through our Web site (by hyperlink to the
SEC's Web site) as soon as reasonably practicable after they are filed electronically with the SEC. We may from time to time provide important disclosures to investors by posting them in the news
releases section of our Web site, as allowed by SEC rules. These disclosures may include amendments to and waivers of our Code of Ethics.

Materials
we file with the SEC may be read and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. Information on the operation of the Public
Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains an Internet Web site at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and
information statements, and other information regarding our company that we file electronically with the SEC.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks Associated with the Termination of the Plan of Liquidation and the Pursuit of Alternative Growth Strategies

As described in Part II, Item 7,Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, a proposal to terminate the plan of liquidation was approved at the special meeting on November 8, 2007. There are significant risks associated with
terminating the plan of liquidation and pursuing alternative growth strategies. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

The Company will be confronted by significant challenges as it attempts to grow its operations.

The
Company seeks to grow within areas of historical expertise and areas that management considers to be of logical interest, but will also pursue acquisitions and other business
combinations. While we believe that there are numerous potential target businesses that we could evaluate and pursue, our ability to consummate a transaction may be limited by our available financial
resources. We may be unable to obtain additional financing, if required, to complete a business combination or to fund the operations and growth of the target business, which could compel us to
restructure or abandon a particular business combination.

The
Company may also issue shares of common stock, preferred stock or debt securities to complete a business combination. We may issue options or other equity awards to our new
management or the management of a target business in a business combination, both of which would reduce the equity interest of our current stockholders and could cause a change in control.

Our
ability to successfully effect a business combination or otherwise expand our business will be dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel, all of whom joined us following the
termination of the plan of liquidation, or those who would prospectively join in conjunction with a business combination.

5

---



Finally,
our financial resources may initially dictate that we will only be able to complete one business combination or growth initiative, which will cause us to be increasingly
dependent on a single business and its products or services. In this case, we may not be able to satisfactorily diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting
of losses, unlike other entities, which may have the resources to complete several business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single industry.

Our ability to utilize NOLs to offset future taxable income could be reduced significantly, or eliminated, by our strategic plans following the
termination of the Plan of Liquidation or events outside of our control.

The
Company currently has approximately $82 million in federal income tax net operating losses (NOLs). Our ability to preserve these NOLs for future use by us or the surviving
corporation in a business combination is dependent on numerous rules and regulations. It is possible that the ownership shift that would accompany some of the business combination opportunities the
Company could pursue following the termination of the plan of liquidation would result in a substantial reduction in available NOLs. The available NOLs could also be reduced substantially if some or
all of our significant stockholders increase their proportional ownership in the Company through open market purchases of common stock. However, the amount of available NOLs resulting from a change in
ownership depends on factors such as the market price of our common stock, market capitalization, changes in ownership over time, prevailing interest rates and the nature and structure of any business
combinations. Changes in any of these variables between the date of our illustration and any future change in ownership could decrease the available NOLs to an amount substantially below
$13 million. In addition, if the sale of our remaining golf course assets occurs within two years of a change of ownership, our available NOLs could be eliminated.

The market price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile.

The
average daily trading volume of our common stock has historically been relatively low and is likely to continue to be low. As a result of this relatively low trading volume, our
stock price can be highly volatile. Any large sales could have a negative effect on our stock price and its volatility.

If we fail to meet American Stock Exchange listing standards in the future, the American Stock Exchange could delist our securities from quotation on
its exchange, which could limit investors' ability to complete transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

The
Company's common stock is listed on the American Stock Exchange. The delisting of our common stock from trading on the Exchange could have adverse consequences, including a limited
availability of market quotations for our common stock, a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for the Company, a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing
in the future and reduced attractiveness as a business combination partner.

If we are unable to retain certain key executives and staff members to conduct normal business operations, financial results may be negatively impacted,
as well as our ability to remain a timely filer.

Our
ability to continuously maintain operations will depend to a large extent on the experience and ability of our chairman, president and chief executive officer, Michael C. Pearce, and
his experience and familiarity with our assets, counter-parties and the market for related assets. We believe that a loss of Mr. Pearce's services could materially harm our ability to maximize
existing assets and develop avenues for expansion.

We
are highly dependent on the services of Tracy S. Clifford, our chief financial officer. If Ms. Clifford were to resign, we would likely seek to hire a replacement for her, the
cost of which would

6

---



depend
on our determination of the experience and skills that must be possessed by her replacement in light of our financial condition, our assets, and the complexity of any issues bearing on us at
that time.

If
we are unable to retain certain key executives and staff members, ordinary business operations and regulatory compliance timeliness may be jeopardized.

Risk Factors Relating to Stonehenge

Risks related to the ongoing ownership and operation of Stonehenge include:

We face competition to acquire additional members to Stonehenge and maintain existing memberships.

Membership
to Stonehenge is affected by competition from comparable courses in the surrounding areas, including courses that have opened, reopened or been significantly upgraded in
recent years. Additional memberships, if attained, will result in increased net operating revenues. However, preferences regarding location, aesthetics and other factors affecting the desirability or
marketability of membership to private courses can, and often do, change from time to time. Accordingly, we cannot predict with any certainty whether or not Stonehenge will undergo
short-term or long-term growth in desirability for prospective members. Failure to maintain sufficient membership growth could adversely affect the future financial performance
of Stonehenge.

The operations of Stonehenge are subject to risks that could have an adverse affect on their financial performance.

The
operations of Stonehenge are subject to operating risks such as adverse weather conditions (including heavy prolonged rains and hurricanes), employee-related issues (including labor
shortages and disruptions), blight or other diseases affecting grass or other vegetation and costs of merchandise, equipment and supplies. If the operations of Stonehenge are impeded by any such
factors beyond our control, the financial performance of Stonehenge could be adversely affected.

Ownership of Stonehenge could result in potential environmental liability.

As owner of Stonehenge, we are subject to potential liability under federal and state environmental laws for contamination that might exist on the property,
regardless of whether we caused or were otherwise responsible for the contamination. Accordingly, not only could substantial legal fees be required to defend against government or private party
action, but we could also incur significant remediation costs and the value of Stonehenge could be substantially reduced. That increase in costs and decrease in value would have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In
addition, we cannot predict future changes in the interpretation and administration of current environmental law and the enactment of new environmental legislation or regulations.
Compliance with new or more stringent laws and the more strict interpretation of existing laws may require material expenditures by us to ensure that the Stonehenge golf courses comply with those
laws. Those increased costs would also have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

As of March 25, 2008, our only remaining golf course property is Stonehenge which is a private country club that includes two 18-hole golf
courses, tennis facilities, a full-service restaurant and other amenities operating under one club structure. The Country Club at Woodcreek Farms was recognized

7

---



by
Golf Digest in 2000 in its listing of "Best Courses By State". It was 19th in South Carolina. Stonehenge derives revenues principally from membership dues, initiation fees, transfer fees,
golf cart rentals, guest fees, food and beverage operations and merchandise sales. Initiation fees and membership dues at private country clubs are determined according to the particular market
segment in which the club operates. Revenue and cash flows of private country clubs generally are more stable and predictable than those of public courses because the receipt of membership dues
generally is independent of the level of course utilization.

As
of March 25, 2008, the Stonehenge golf courses are pledged as collateral under our credit line with Textron Financial Corporation.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are currently involved in, or prior to the filing of this Annual Report we have concluded, the following legal proceedings:

Young Complaints

On March 22, 2004, a lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina, Florence Division, by one of our prior directors,
Larry D. Young (together with Danny L. Young, Kyle N. Young, the Young Family Irrevocable Trust and The Legends Group, Ltd.) (collectively "the Youngs"), against our independent auditors, BDO
Seidman, LLP, and three former BDO partners (the "BDO Defendants"), and the Company and our executive officers (the "GTA Defendants").

The
complaint alleged that the BDO Defendants engaged in professional malpractice, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty and fraud by counseling plaintiffs to participate in a type
of tax shelter transaction allegedly held illegal by the Internal Revenue Service, and that the GTA Defendants conspired with the BDO Defendants to convince Mr. Young that he would realize a
large projected tax gain in order to induce Mr. Young (and the other plaintiffs) to enter into the failed tax shelter transaction. The plaintiffs sought damages of at least $3.7 million,
together with legal expenses and other costs. On February 1, 2008, the Company and the Youngs filed with the court an agreement to settle all disputes. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the
plaintiffs have paid the Company $500,000 in the form of an installment note and transfer title to certain land in Charleston County, South Carolina to the Company. The court found that the parties
had settled this dispute and declared the post-trial motions moot on February 19, 2008. The Youngs and BDO Seidman, LLP and its partners had previously resolved their
differences. The case is now closed. The Settlement Agreement, Confession of Judgment and Promissory Note executed in this settlement were filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively,
to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 4, 2008.

Stonehenge (Country Club at Wildewood and Country Club at Woodcreek Farms)

On April 22, 2002, we filed an action entitledGolf Trust of America, L.P. and GTA Stonehenge, LLC v. Lyndell Lewis
Young and Stonehenge Golf Development, LLCin the Court of Common Pleas for Richland County. We asserted causes of action against the defendant for breach of contract,
fraud and unfair trade practices. We were seeking damages of approximately $172,000, which represents prepaid dues that were not disclosed by the defendants. A counterclaim for payment under a
consulting agreement, along with claims for payment of operating/maintenance and insurance expenses was filed by the defendant against us on June 20, 2002. The Court dismissed the case on
May 28, 2003. On March 15, 2005, we took action to restore the case. The Court of Common Pleas for Richland County had ordered the case restored to the roster. On March 17, 2008,
the parties entered in to a settlement agreement whereby, upon payment by us of $22,500 to Lyndell Lewis Young, the parties executed a dismissal with prejudice of this case, including all claims and
counterclaims that have been alleged, or could have been brought in that suit. The case is now closed.

Land Use Lawsuits

On March 10, 2005, the Company filed a Motion to Intervene in the suit titledInnisbrook Condominium Association, Inc., C.
Frank Wreath, Meredith P. Sauer, and Mark Banning, Plaintiffs vs. Pinellas County, Florida, Golf Host Resorts, Inc. and Innisbrook F LLC, Defendants, Case
No. 043388CI-15. This motion was filed in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit, in and for Pinellas County, Florida, Civil Division and was granted by the Circuit Court.
In this report, the Company refers to this matter as the "Initial Land Use Lawsuit". The plaintiffs in the Initial Land Use Lawsuit have filed a multi-count complaint seeking injunctive and
declaratory relief with respect to the land use and development rights of Parcel F, which is owned by Golf Host Resorts, Inc., or GHR, the former owner of the Resort. The Company filed the
Motion to Intervene as a defendant in the Initial Land Use Lawsuit in order to protect its property and its land use and development rights with respect to Parcel F. On April 26, 2005, Joseph
E. Colwell, Marcia G. Colwell, Kirk E. Covert, Deborah A. Covert and the Autumn Woods Homeowner's Association, Inc. moved to intervene in the Initial Land Use Lawsuit, which the Court
subsequently allowed. On April 8, 2005, a separate suit was filed by James M. and Mary H. Luckey, and Andrew J. and Aphrodite B. McAdams, against Pinellas County, GHR and Bayfair
Innisbrook, LLC seeking injunctive and declaratory relief relating to the land use and development rights of Parcel F. This suit was consolidated with the Initial Land Use Lawsuit. In this
report, the Company refers to this matter as the "Subsequent Land Use Lawsuit" and to the Initial Land Use Lawsuit and the Subsequent Land Use Lawsuit as the "Land Use Lawsuits".

From
December 19 through December 23, 2005, the Court tried these consolidated cases in a non-jury trial. On March 8, 2006, the Court ruled in favor of
the defendants on all counts and denied all claims asserted by the plaintiffs in both Land Use Lawsuits. On March 31, 2006, the plaintiffs in the consolidated cases filed a notice of appeal to
the Second District Court of Appeal. The Appeal Court affirmed per curium the Circuit Court judgment in favor of the defendants on February 28, 2007 and denied the plaintiffs-appellants' motion
for attorney fees. On March 13, 2007, the plaintiffs filed a motion for the Appeal Court to rehear their claims. On June 12, 2007, the Second District Court of Appeal denied the
plaintiffs motion for rehearing. On September 11, 2007, Plaintiffs/Petitioners James M. Luckey, Mary Luckey, Marc Banning, Andrew McAdams, Aphrodite McAdams, Kirk Covert, Deborah Covert, Marcia
Colwell and Joseph Colwell filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari in the Supreme Court of the United States. On September 19, 2007, all of the respondents, including
GTA-IB, LLC, the wholly owned subsidiary of our operating partnership that owned the Resort, filed a Waiver with the Supreme Court of the United States informing the Court that the
respondents did not intend to file a response to the Petition for Writ of Certiorari unless one is requested by the Court. The respondents' decision to file a waiver was based on the
collective judgment of all defense counsel of record that the Petitioners' Petition for Writ of Certiorari is meritless and has virtually no chance of success in their collective opinion. A further
reason was the fact that if the Supreme Court of the United States does indicate that it may entertain the Petition, it will request a response at which time GTA-IB, LLC and the
other respondents would have an opportunity to file our responses. On October 8, 2007 the United Sates Supreme Court denied the Petitioners' (Luckey, et al) Petition For Writ Of Certiorari.
That denial concluded this litigation and left intact the decision of the Florida Second District Court of Appeal's in favor of the Defendants in that case which includes
GTA-IB, LLC. This case is now closed.

Wall Springs Conservatory, Inc. Complaint

On July 13, 2006, Wall Springs filed suit against GTA-IB, as successor in interest to GHR, in the circuit court of Pinellas County for
declaratory relief regarding the allocation of certain full golf memberships at the Resort. On July 14, 2006, Wall Springs also filed suit against us in the small claims division of the
Pinellas County Court in connection with an easement agreement. We answered both claims, also asserting affirmative defenses and counterclaims in each action. We then filed a motion to

transfer
the small claims matter to Circuit Court, which was granted on September 27, 2006. We then moved to consolidate these two cases. Our motion to consolidate was granted by the Circuit
Court on March 1, 2007. On February 15, 2008, we paid $5,000 which was an agreed upon amount for an easement and the parties have verbally agreed to dismiss this litigation. This case is
now considered closed.

Property Tax Lawsuit

We filed lawsuits against the property appraiser of Pinellas County, Florida to challenge the 2004, 2005 and 2006 real estate assessment on the Resort property.
Pinellas County filed a motion to dismiss, which was denied by the court. The entire Pinellas County assessment was fully accrued at June 30, 2007 and was paid concurrent with the sale of the
Resort on July 16, 2007. In January 2008, we settled the lawsuits with the Pinellas County Property Appraiser and Tax Collector for all years. As a result of the settlement, we received
reductions in the 2004 and 2005 assessments and agreed to dismiss the 2006 lawsuit. Based on the reductions in the assessed value, the Company expects to receive a total refund of approximately
$170,000 (of which $117,000 was received on or about February 25, 2008). The case is now considered closed.

Lake Ozark Industries, Inc. ("LOCI") and Everett Holding Company, Inc. v. Golf Trust of America, et al.

The
titled action was brought in the Circuit Court of Miller County, Missouri by LOCI, and its asserted assignee of lien and account rights, Everett Holding Company, Inc., in the
fall of 1999 against numerous defendants, including the Operating Partnership. Plaintiffs assert LOCI performed construction services on, or that benefited, the property of various defendants,
including the Operating Partnership. With respect to the Operating Partnership, plaintiffs seek to foreclose a mechanic's lien upon property formerly owned by the Operating Partnership. The lien is
for the principal amount of approximately $1,276,000, plus interest at 10% per annum and attorney fees. Plaintiffs calculate interest to May 20, 1999, just prior to the lien filing, to be
approximately $151,000 and interest thereafter to be $354 per day. The Court entered a written order granting the Operating Partnership's Motion for Summary
Judgment in April 2002 and a final judgment in November 2003. Plaintiffs appealed the ruling to the Missouri Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals on April 5, 2005 reversed the Circuit Court
judgment in favor of us and remanded the case to the Circuit Court for further proceedings. On May 31, 2005, the Court of Appeals filed a modified Opinion, which again reversed the Circuit
Court judgment in favor of us and remanded the case to the Circuit Court for further proceedings. On March 12, 2008, a case management conference was held. The presiding judge set
September 30, 2008, as deadline for completing discovery and scheduled another conference for October 8, 2008, at which time it is anticipated that the case will be set for trial. At
this time, the Company is unable to assess the likely outcome of this litigation.

Routine Litigation

Owners and operators of golf courses are subject to a variety of legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of operating a golf course, including
proceedings relating to personal injury and property damage. We have in the past been, and expect to continue in the future to be, subject to proceedings relating to personal injury and property
damage. Such proceedings are generally brought against the operator of a golf course, but may also be brought against the owner of the golf course. Since we are now the owner and operator of our
remaining golf courses, we maintain insurance to defend against the above reference type of actions.

Stockholder Information

On March 25, 2008, we had 7,317,163 shares of common stock outstanding. As of March 25, 2008, those shares were held of record by 68 registered
holders and by an estimated 1,183 beneficial owners.

Dividends

We did not make any distributions for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Under our operating partnership agreement, each of the limited partners (other than GTA LP, Inc.), generally had the right to tender OP units for
redemption by the operating partnership. In that case, we have the option of either exchanging OP units for shares of our common stock, on a one-for-one basis, or of buying
back the OP units for an equivalent amount of cash, based on the then-current market price of our common stock. The OP units of the last limited partner were redeemed on August 23,
2006; therefore, we no longer have any limited partners.

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

The following description of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated
Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.

The following report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange
Act. Forward-looking statements are statements that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. All of our forecasts in this Annual Report are
forward-looking statements. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words "believe," "expect," "will," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "project,"
"assume" or other similar expressions. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to known (and unknown) risks, uncertainties
and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our forward-looking statements are based on the limited information currently available to our company and speak only as of the
date on which this report was filed with the Securities Exchange Commission, or SEC. Our continued internet posting or subsequent distribution of this dated Annual Report does not imply continued
affirmation of the forward-looking statements included in it. We undertake no obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to issue any updates to our forward-looking statements, even if
subsequent events cause our expectations to change regarding the matters discussed in those statements. Future events are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, our forecasts in this Annual Report, are
subject to uncertainty. Our forecasts should not be regarded as legal promises, representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever. Over time, our actual results, performance or achievements will
likely differ from the anticipated results, performance or achievements that are expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, and such difference might be significant and harmful to our
stockholders' interests. Many important factors that could cause such a difference are described under the caption "Risk Factors," in Item 1A of this Annual Report, which you should review
carefully.

Termination of the Plan of Liquidation

The Board adopted a resolution declaring the termination of the Plan of Liquidation, or the "POL", advisable and the Company's stockholders
approved such proposal to terminate the POL on November 8, 2007. Therefore, financial statements subsequent to this date are presented under the going concern basis as an operating company
rather than under the liquidation basis of accounting.

On
February 25, 2001, the Board had adopted, and on May 22, 2001, our common and preferred stockholders had approved, the POL. The POL contemplated the sale of all of the
Company's assets and the payment of, or provision for, the Company's liabilities and expenses, and authorized the Company to establish a reserve to fund any contingent liabilities. The Board's
decision to adopt the POL followed a lengthy process in which the Board and management reviewed different strategic alternatives with the goal of maximizing stockholder value. Subsequently, the
Company sold 45 of the 47 (18-hole equivalent) golf courses in which the Company once held interests pursuant to the POL.

Following
the previously announced sale of the Innisbrook Golf Club and Resort (the "Resort") and the redemption of the Company's Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable
Preferred Stock on July 16, 2007, the Company's remaining assets include (i) cash, (ii) certain escrowed funds related to the sale of the Resort, (iii) two private golf
courses located in Columbia, South Carolina, known collectively as "Stonehenge" and (iv) certain land and note payable acquired in the settlement of a lawsuit.

The
Board believes that the termination of the POL affords the Company flexibility in maximizing value for its stockholders. Operating the Company as a going concern outside of the POL
allows the Company to pursue alternative business strategies, including a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other growth initiative. The Board is still permitted to pursue the sale
of the Company's

13

---



final
property and/or consider the liquidation of the Company in the event that it is unable to identify and affect a viable alternative, but it would no longer be required to do so by the terms of
the POL.

Subsequent
to the termination of the POL, we have continued to own and operate Stonehenge which has approximately 960 members. Concurrently, we have placed renewed emphasis on
initiatives to resume corporate growth in an effort to create value for shareholders. We are seeking to grow within areas of historical expertise and areas that management considers to be of logical
interest, but will also evaluate acquisitions or business combinations in unallied industries.

There
can be no assurance that the Company will successfully consummate a viable alternative growth strategy. The Company has limited financial and management capacity, will be competing
with organizations possessing far greater resources, and is subject to specific industry and macro economic factors, many of which may prove outside of the Company's control or sphere of influence.

Overview of Liquidation Basis of Accounting

We adopted the liquidation basis of accounting for all periods subsequent to May 22, 2001, the date on which our stockholders approved our plan of
liquidation. Accordingly, on May 22, 2001, our assets were adjusted to their estimated fair value and our liabilities, including estimated costs associated with implementing the plan of
liquidation, were adjusted to their estimated settlement amounts. The minority interest in our operating partnership was reclassified to net assets because the holders of common limited partnership
units, which we call OP units, do not have preferential distribution rights over the common stockholders. However, the only remaining outstanding common limited partnership units were redeemed in the
satisfaction of a note receivable on August 24, 2006; therefore, we currently do not have any common limited partnership units outstanding.

Real
estate held for sale at December 31, 2006 included the Resort, and two additional golf courses (commonly known as Stonehenge) that we continue to own and manage.

Significant events that had a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations

On July 16, 2007, we completed the sale of the Resort and all of our equity interest in Golf Host Securities, Inc. to Salamander Innisbrook
Securities, LLC, Salamander Innisbrook Condominium, LLC and Salamander Innisbrook, LLC (collectively, "Salamander"), pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 25,
2007. The purchase price received by the Company was approximately $35,000,000 in cash less a working capital purchase price adjustment of $2,221,000 plus (a) $4,000,000 to be used to settle
certain obligations, (b) $844,000 for reimbursement of certain rental pool payments discussed in more detail below, (c) $317,000 for reimbursement of certain agreed upon capital
expenditures, (d) $25,000 for reimbursement of expenses related to Parcel G and (e) the assumption of certain liabilities. In addition to reimbursement by Salamander of the Resort rental
pool obligations since January 1, 2007 in the amount of approximately $844,000, Salamander assumed all other obligations under the rental pool agreements upon the closing of the sale of the
Resort. As part of the closing of the sale, the Company had recorded a receivable of $1,387,000 for the post-closing working capital settlement, pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase
Agreement, which was settled and paid to us by Salamander on November 29, 2007 in the amount of approximately $1,305,000; however, additional amounts collected related to the sale of the Resort
such as miscellaneous vendor refunds and other reimbursements collected reduced the shortfall in the receivable to approximately $7,000 which was expensed in the fourth quarter.

Contemporaneously
with the closing of the sale of the Resort, (a) the Company exercised the option pursuant to the Option Agreement, previously filed as Exhibit 10.2 to our
company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed June 26, 2007, and repurchased the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock at the Exercise Price of $17,500,000; (b) all
outstanding accrued and unpaid amounts were paid to Pinellas County for property taxes, in the approximate amount of $343,000; (c) a termination fee of $5,403,000 was paid to Westin;
(d) the supplemental fee and management fees totaling $977,000 were paid to

14

Troon;
and (e) the Patriot Bank loan was repaid and cancelled. With regard to the property taxes, the Company continued to pursue the respective lawsuits, entered into settlement with Pinellas
County, and expects to recover approximately $170,000 of the amount paid (of which $117,000 was received on or about February 29, 2008).

Subsequent
to the closing of the sale of the Resort, the Company paid outstanding accrued and unpaid (a) legal fees totaling approximately $3,261,000; (b) Board fees and
expenses totaling approximately $263,000; and (c) milestone payments due to our current/former executive officers totaling approximately $1,317,000 plus accrued interest.

As
a result of the sale of the Resort, the Company's liquidity improved significantly. Net cash proceeds from the sale after all the payouts required at closing were approximately
$10,501,000, subject to an escrow for the Company's indemnification liability of approximately $2,000,000 that will be held,
pursuant to its terms, until March 31, 2008 and the final post-closing working capital adjustment settlement of approximately $1,387,000 as discussed above.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Re-adoption of Going Concern Basis

The Company re-adopted the going concern basis of accounting upon stockholder approval of the termination of the Company's POL on November 8,
2007. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the carrying value of the Company's
remaining operating asset, Stonehenge, was adjusted to the lower of the depreciated historical cost and the fair value by asset category or group. Management's estimate of the fair value of the
Stonehenge property at November 8, 2007 (after consideration of the refundable initiation fees) was $5,400,000. Management's estimate considered, among other factors, an independent appraisal
from J. Richard Marlow, MAI, SGA, a certified real estate appraiser and consultant and recent property tax assessments. However, such estimates are developed from expectations of future operating
results which are inherently subjective in nature. Actual results may differ significantly. We continue to analyze the operating results, and will test for impairment annually and as changes in
circumstances may require.

The
valuation adjustment also considered the obligation from certain memberships previously sold at Stonehenge that have initiation fees totaling approximately $1,326,000 that are
refundable based on specific conditions over the thirty-year required membership term, as defined in the Club Membership Manual. These refundable initiation fees may be refundable prior to
the expiration of the thirty-year term under specific membership replacement conditions. The estimated present value of these potential refunds is $342,000, which is recorded as an accrued
liability at December 31, 2007 and accretes over the members' remaining average contractual term using an interest rate of approximately 10.5%. The accretion is included in interest expense.
Our estimates of the present value of this obligation may require revisions if the timing of the refund payments differs significantly from our expectations.

The
majority of our membership fees are not refundable and the amount is deferred and recognized over the average expected life of an active membership. Nonrefundable membership
initiation fees are deferred and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the average expected life of an active membership, which based on historical information is deemed to
be nine years. However, our estimates of the average expected life may change.

Revenues
from golf operations, food and beverage and merchandise sales are recognized at the time of sale or when the service is provided. Revenues from membership dues are billed
monthly and recognized in the period earned. The monthly dues are expected to cover the cost of providing future membership services. Prepaid dues are recognized as income over the prepayment period.

15

---



Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets or liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the
enacted tax rates. Income tax expense will increase or decrease in the same period in which a change in tax rates is enacted. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when
the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized at its initially recorded value; however, there is a high degree of subjectivity
in these estimates which are subject to change based on expectations in the future.

Liquidation BasisJanuary 1November 8, 2007 and 2006

The Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting upon the stockholder approval of its POL on May 22, 2001. From that date forward through and until
November 8, 2007, all assets and liabilities had been stated at their estimated fair value and estimated settlement amounts. The estimated fair value had been determined using available market
information and valuation methodologies deemed appropriate; therefore, these estimates were subject to revision with changes in market values. The Company was required to estimate and accrue the costs
associated with implementing and completing the plan of liquidation. These amounts varied significantly due to, among other things, the timing and realized proceeds from golf course sales, the costs
of retaining personnel and others to oversee the liquidation, including the costs of insurance, the timing and amounts associated with discharging known and contingent liabilities, transaction costs
related to any sales and the costs associated with cessation of the Company's operations.

The
change in the carrying value of our remaining golf course assets and in our reserve for estimated liquidation costs for the period ended November 8, 2007 is presented in
Consolidated Financial Statements referred to in Item 8 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During February 2007, the FASB Board issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS 159"). This
statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. The adoption of this standard had no effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

During
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS 160"). This
statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries and for the deconsolidation of subsidiaries and clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement also requires expanded disclosures that
clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on
or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this standard is expected to have no effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

During
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141 (Revised 2007)"). While this statement retains the fundamental
requirement of SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations, SFAS 141 (Revised 2007) now
establishes the principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination: recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities
assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or the gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what
information should be disclosed in the financial statements to enable the users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. For the Company,
SFAS 141 (Revised 2007) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is after December 31, 2008.

16

---





In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157,Fair Value Measurements("SFAS 157"),
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP, and expends disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting
pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008, is not expected to
have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Note:
We operated under the liquidation basis of accounting for the period January 1, 2006November 8, 2007; therefore, depreciation expense of approximately
$86,000 for the period November 9, 2007December 31, 2007 was excluded from the analysis above for comparability purposes.

2007 Compared to 2006

For the year ended December 31, 2007, operating revenue increased by $253,000 and operating expenses increased by $602,000 resulting in a decrease in net
operating income of $349,000 over 2006. The revenue increase was primarily in food and beverage revenue which increased by approximately $354,000 as a result of the opening of a new clubhouse and
restaurant. A less substantial increase occurred in membership dues and initiation fees which increased by $74,000 due primarily to a 10% increase in dues that was implemented in August 2007 and the
implementation of a food minimum as part of the dues in October 2006. Golf revenue decreased approximately $100,000 due to significantly lower green fees as compared to 2006 which was a result of
fewer corporate tournament rounds played throughout the year at both courses. The loss of tournament rounds was primarily due to (i) an issue with course conditions at one of the golf courses
and (ii) an initiative to ensure that tournament play was scheduled on regular course closure days so that membership play was not disrupted. Other revenue decreased by $80,000 due to the loss
of developer fees which ceased after the new clubhouse
was completed in late 2006. Other miscellaneous departments had combined increased revenue of approximately $5,000.

Golf
course operating expenses increased approximately $523,000 over prior year. The expense increase was primarily in the maintenance department which increased approximately $256,000.
The increase in maintenance expense was primarily for new equipment leases that replaced five-year old used equipment with a new equipment fleet, as well as additional overhead consisting
of chemicals, fertilizers, landscaping and fuel costs. These additional expenses were required by our revitalization

plan
to improve the condition of the golf courses. We are beginning to see course conditions improve and as a result of these efforts expect that it will facilitate our membership retention and growth
plan. Food and beverage expenses increased by $299,000 and general and administrative (G&A) expenses increased by $53,000 due to the opening of the new restaurant in late 2006. The increase in G&A
resulted from the utilities, payroll overhead and health insurance, among other expenses from the increased number of employees for the new restaurant and clubhouse. Other departments had a combined
decrease in operating expenses of approximately $32,000. Property taxes increased approximately $26,000 over 2006.

Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation

The changes in Net Assets in Liquidation for Golf Trust of America are discussed below. Consistent with the presentation of the liquidation basis financial
statements through November 8, 2007 in Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we provide a discussion of changes in net assets rather than a discussion of our
operating results. The results of operations for Stonehenge are discussed separately above. Given that the Resort, a significant majority of our operations, was sold at the beginning of the third
quarter, results of operations and cash flow comparisons with prior periods are not meaningful and, thus, are not provided. The following discussion of changes in net assets in liquidation should be
read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

January 1, 2007 to November 8, 2007

For the period ended November 8, 2007, prior to the re-adoption of the going concern basis of accounting, net assets in liquidation decreased
by approximately $2,731,000. This decrease was a result of (a) a decrease of approximately $1,134,000 in the forecast of the Company's cumulative net operating results, which included the
Resort and golf course assets, the Resort condominium sales operations and the overhead and interest expense of the Company's corporate operations, (b) an increase of $81,000 in the accrual for
capital expenditures at Stonehenge, (c) an increase of $180,000 for other incurred liquidation expenses, (d) an increase of $334,000 in the accrual for legal fees primarily
for fees incurred in preparation for, and during the trial related to, the Young complaints and in preparation for the Special Shareholder Meeting, (e) an increase of $33,000 in the accrual for
professional fees for accounting services, (f) a decrease in the carrying value of the debt to our preferred stockholder of $2,500,000, (g) a decrease of $3,062,000 in the carrying value
of the business of the Resort based on the net loss from the sale transaction, (h) a loss of $400,000 on the net proceeds received from the company's interest in Parcel F, and certain other
miscellaneous adjustments of $7,000. Also, approximately $97,000 was reallocated from the accrual for financial advisor fees to (i) a $50,000 increase in the accrual for legal fees and
(ii) a $47,000 increase in the accrual for other liquidation expenses. When the Company was under the liquidation basis of accounting, the forecast of the Company's cumulative net operating
results was impacted by, among other things, changes in the anticipated sale date of Stonehenge, the final results of the post-closing settlement of the working capital adjustment for the
Resort and the estimated time and expense required to wind-down the operations of the Company. The net assets at November 8, 2007, prior to the re-adoption of the going
concern basis of accounting, were approximately $11,134,000.

January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006

For the year ended December 31, 2006, net assets in liquidation decreased by approximately $83,000. This decrease resulted from (a) an increase in
the carrying value of Tierra Del Sol to reflect the estimated gain on the sale of Tierra Del Sol of approximately $340,000 plus (b) the additional gain realized upon the actual closing of the
sale of Tierra Del Sol of approximately $34,000, (c) the increase in the carrying value of our interest in Parcel F of approximately $1,410,000 to reflect the estimated

18

financial
benefit to us of a contract amendment executed between GHR and the purchaser of Parcel F, (d) the decrease in the estimated settlement amount of the Westin termination fee liability
of approximately $79,000, (e) the discount realized in the assignment and termination of the Elk Funding note payable of approximately $122,000, (f) the reversal of the accrual for
financial advisor fees of approximately $600,000 due to the expiration of the tail period and related fee obligations of the Houlihan Lokey engagement offset by (g) the redemption of the 35,794
operating partnership units for approximately $18,000, and an increase in the provision for (h) capital expenditures of approximately $69,000, (i) accounting and tax fees of
approximately $285,000, (j) corporate operating costs of approximately $625,000, (k) directors and officers insurance premiums of approximately $240,000, and (l) legal fees of
approximately $1,265,000 to be incurred in (A) the negotiation of an asset purchase agreement and contemplated consummation of the sale of the Resort, (B) litigating the proceedings to
which we are currently a party and (C) the administrative conclusion of our plan of liquidation.

Inflation

Inflation has not had a significant impact on us. As operating costs and expenses increase, we generally attempt to offset the adverse effects of increased costs
by increasing prices in line with industry
standards. However, we are subject to the risks that our costs of operations will increase and we will be unable to offset those increases through increased dues and fees without adversely affecting
demand. In addition to inflation, factors that could cause operating costs to rise include, among other things, increased labor costs, lease payments at our leased facilities, energy costs and
property taxes.

Seasonality

Since Stonehenge is a private membership club, the monthly member dues are the same throughout the year; however, swim and tennis revenues and expenses are higher
in the summer months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Currently, our only source of cash flow is from the operations of Stonehenge. GTA Stonehenge, LLC has a $4,200,000 revolving credit line with Textron
Financial Corporation ("Textron"), which matures on March 18, 2009. This loan is collateralized by a security interest in Stonehenge. The interest rate is the prime rate plus 1.75% per annum
paid monthly. This loan requires that the operations at Stonehenge for the immediately preceding twelve month period be sufficient to meet a debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the mortgage, of
at least 1.20, as measured monthly. At December 31, 2007, the Company did not meet the debt service coverage ratio (in part due to increased efforts to improve the playing quality of the golf
courses by investing significantly in additional beautification, repair and maintenance projects, as well as attendant labor costs, related to the golf courses, but which do not qualify for
capitalization accounting treatment). In light of the fact that the Company has consistently met its financial obligations throughout the term of the loan, Textron waived said covenant violation
subject to re-evaluation at December 31, 2008.

At
December 31, 2007, our cash balance is approximately $7,572,000. We are also expecting our liquidity to be improved in the near term through several means as described herein.
The escrowed funds from the Resort sale in the amount of $2,000,000, subject to any valid claims against the escrow pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement, are expected to be released
by March 31, 2008. Additionally, the promissory note that was executed in the settlement of the Young Complaints has scheduled payments to begin on May 1, 2008 as follows:
(a) $100,000 principal due on May 31, 2008; (b) $133,334 principal due on January 1, 2009; (c) $133,333 principal due on January 1, 2010; (d) $133,333
principal due on January 1, 2011. In the event these installments are not received timely, the note provides for an additional installment of $3,376,856 principal, plus interest. Also, the
Board is currently assessing future plans for the land that we obtained title to in the settlement of the Young

Complaints
(approximately 116 acres of undeveloped land in Charleston County, South Carolina), which could provide additional liquidity.

Stonehenge
has historically possessed sufficient liquidity to cover its operations. Stonehenge has also covered the Textron debt service for the first quarter of 2008 and is expected to
cover the Textron debt service for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Management is focused on several membership initiatives to grow the membership at Stonehenge, which it anticipates
will increase revenues and enhance cash flow. Management is currently anticipating capital expenditures in 2008 at Stonehenge of approximately $100,000 which will be funded by cash flow from
Stonehenge operations. The technological infrastructure at the Company's corporate office is currently being updated at a cost of approximately $12,000 which is being funded from existing cash
balances. We currently intend to pay corporate overhead in 2008 from current cash balances. Several cost reduction initiatives have been implemented at corporate headquarters to reduce operating
expense including reduction of professional fees which are expected to decrease as we are no longer under the POL, reduction of Board fees, consolidation of office space, reduction of staff, and
elimination of certain services. However, the corporate overhead expense for 2008 may be impacted if we are successful in completing an acquisition or other growth initiative. Corporate overhead was
provided for in the liquidation accrual through November 8, 2007 under liquidation basis (see discussion above regarding changes in net assets in liquidation for further discussion).

The
Company believes that it possesses adequate liquidity and capital resources to conduct its operations. In the event that the Company pursues an acquisition or other strategic
alternative requiring significant capital investment, it is anticipated that funding will be provided by cash on hand, equity issuance, debt issuance, commercial credit facilities, or a combination of
the aforementioned.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2007, we have no unconsolidated subsidiaries.

We
do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or unconsolidated financial partnerships of the type often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities,
i.e., unconsolidated entities established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, we have not
guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities nor do we have any commitment or intent to provide additional funding to any such entities. Accordingly, we believe we are not materially exposed
to any market, credit, liquidity or financing risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at December 31, 2007, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and
cash flow (or upon our successors in interest under the applicable contracts, if the contracts are not terminated) in future periods:

Each
type of contractual obligation listed in the table is discussed in more detail below. Interest is reflected, as applicable, in the commitments and obligations listed above.

Employment Security Agreements.Severance obligations to our employees will be paid out by
July 31, 2008, pursuant to the terms of the individual employment security agreements.

Textron Revolving Line of Credit.On March 18, 2004, GTA Stonehenge LLC entered into a
loan agreement and related mortgage with Textron Financial for a revolving line of credit. On August 4, 2005, GTA Stonehenge LLC executed loan documents with Textron to amend the
existing revolving loan with Textron. Pursuant to this amendment, the maximum permissible outstanding loan amount was increased from $2,100,000 to $4,200,000, and the term of the loan was extended
from March 18, 2006 until March 18, 2009. This loan is collateralized by a security interest in our golf courses collectively known as Stonehenge. In certain instances, the loan may be
assumed by a buyer of Stonehenge pursuant to assumption provisions in this loan amendment. The interest rate under the revolving loan is prime rate (7.25% at December 31, 2007) plus 1.75% per
annum, paid monthly.

Long-term debt obligations.In the normal course of operating Stonehenge, we and/or our
subsidiaries have entered into financing and/or loan agreements to finance certain equipment purchases and facility improvements. The terms of these agreements range from forty-six to
sixty months.

Capital and Operating Lease Agreements.In the normal course of operating Stonehenge, we and/or our
subsidiaries have entered into lease agreements to lease golf course maintenance equipment, golf course vehicles, golf carts, and office equipment. The terms of these leases range from twelve to sixty
months. At the Corporate office, we have lease agreements for our office space and certain office equipment. We occupied our space on a month-to-month basis at
December 31, 2007. On March 25, 2008, we executed a one-year lease for reduced square footage that includes a 90-day termination provision without penalty for
either party.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The financial statements and supplementary data required by Regulation S-X are included in this annual report commencing on page 55.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Based on the evaluation required by 17 C.F.R. Section 240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b) of the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in 17 C.F.R. Sections 240.13a-15(e) or 240.15d-15(e), the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that such
controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, were effective.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act
Rule 13a-15(f). A system of internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Under
the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, the Company's management has evaluated the
effectiveness

21

---



of
its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 based on the criteria established in a report entitled "Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission" and the interpretive guidance issued by the Commission in Release No. 34-55929. Based on this evaluation, the
Company's management has evaluated and concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.

This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting because
management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to
provide only management's report in this annual report.

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

PART III

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Role of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors, which is elected by the stockholders, is the ultimate decision-making body of the Company, except with respect to those matters reserved
to the stockholders. It selects the senior management team, which is charged with the conduct of the Company's business. Having selected the senior management team, the Board acts as an advisor and
counselor to senior management and ultimately monitors its performance. See "Executive Officers" below for more information about the senior management team.

Composition of the Board of Directors



At
present, the Board of Directors consists of seven seats. Following the Special Meeting of Stockholders, two were filled by Messrs. Loeb and Pearce, who were
re-elected at the 2007 Annual Meeting. Messrs. Toor and Wax who held two of the other Board seats did not stand for re-election at the 2007 Annual Meeting. Three new
directors (Messrs. Couchman, Gottlieb and Vlahos) were elected by the stockholders at the 2007 Annual Meeting. Two seats will remain vacant, to be filled by the Board of Directors in accordance
with our bylaws.

Independent Directors

As required by Rule 802 of the rules of the American Stock Exchange, the Board of Directors consists of a majority of independent directors (as defined in
American Stock Exchange Rule 121(A)). Periodically, and at least annually in connection with its annual recommendation to the Board of Directors of a slate of nominees, the Nominating Committee
of the Board of Directors reviews the independence of current members of the Board of Directors (and director nominees who are not current members) and reports its findings to the full Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors then
considers all relevant facts and circumstances in making an independence determination, including an analysis from the standpoint of the director and from that of persons or organizations with which
the director has an affiliation.

The
Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that four of our five current directors (Messrs. Loeb, Couchman, Gottlieb and Vlahos) are independent as defined in American
Stock Exchange Rule 121(A). We refer to these four directors as our independent directors. Mr. Pearce is the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, and therefore is not an
independent director.

Attendance of Directors at Board of Directors, Committee and Stockholders Meetings

The Board of Directors met 25 times in fiscal year 2007. The Audit, Nominating and Compensation Committees met six, two and two times, respectively, in fiscal
year 2007. All members of the Board of Directors during fiscal year 2007 either attended or participated by telephone in at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of
the committees of the Board of Directors of which he was a member. All members of the Board of Directors attended the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders telephonically, except for Mr. Pearce,
who was present.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee reviews the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the
financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls.

In
this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management regarding the assessment of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting. The Audit
Committee has also met and held discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm regarding the fair and complete presentation of the Company's results. The Audit
Committee has discussed significant accounting policies applied by Golf Trust in its financial statements, as well as alternative treatments. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the
Company's consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting
firm. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61.

In
addition, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the auditor's independence from Golf Trust and its management. As part of
that review, the Audit Committee received the written disclosures and letter required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and by
all relevant professional and regulatory standards relating to the independent registered public accounting firm's independence from the Company. The Audit Committee also has considered whether the
independent registered public accounting firm's provision of non-audit services to Golf Trust is

with the auditor's independence. The Audit Committee has concluded that the independent registered public accounting firm is independent from the Company and its management.

The
Audit Committee reviewed and discussed Company policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The Audit Committee discussed with the Company's internal auditor and
independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for their respective audits.

Audit Committee meets with the internal auditor and independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations,
and the overall quality of the Company's financial reporting.

In
reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors has approved, that the audited
financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Related Person Transactions Approval Policy

The Board of Directors has adopted a written Related Person Transaction Approval Policy (referred to in this Proxy Statement as the Related Person Policy) that is
administered by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Related Person Policy applies to any transaction or series of transactions in which the Company or a subsidiary is a participant, the
amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a "related person" as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (Item 404 of Regulation S-K) has a direct or indirect material
interest.

31

---



Under the Related Person Policy, the facts and circumstances of the proposed transaction will be provided to senior management, which will determine whether the proposed transaction is a
related person transaction that requires further review. Transactions that fall within the definition will be submitted to the Audit Committee for approval, ratification or other action at the next
Audit Committee meeting or, in those instances in which senior management determines that it is not practicable or desirable to wait until the next Audit Committee meeting, to the Chairman of the
Audit Committee. The Audit Committee or the Chairman, as applicable, may approve, based on good faith consideration of all the relevant facts and circumstances, only those related person transactions
that are in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

In
addition, senior management will review quarterly reports of amounts paid or payable to, or received or receivable from, any related person and determine if there are any related
person transactions that were not previously approved or ratified under the Related Person Policy. The Audit Committee will evaluate all options available, including, but not limited to, ratification,
amendment, termination or rescission and, where appropriate, take disciplinary action. The Audit Committee will request that senior management evaluate the Company's controls to ascertain the reason
the transaction was not submitted to the Audit Committee for prior approval.

The
Company is not a party to any related person transactions, as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (Item 404 of Regulation S-K), at this time.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Objectives.The objective of our pre-Plan Termination compensation program was to:



Elements of Compensation.Each of the following elements of the Company's pre-Plan Termination compensation
program was designed to reward different performance goals, and all components of the compensation program worked together to satisfy the ultimate goal of enhancing stockholder value in the context of
the Plan of Liquidation.

Base Salary.Under Mr. Blair's amended and restated employment agreement, based on the assumption that a reduction in
his duties would occur as the Plan of Liquidation progressed, effective April 1, 2004, Mr. Blair's base salary was reduced by 25%, and effective January 1, 2005, his base salary
was reduced by an additional 25%. Subsequent to that date, the only change in Mr. Blair's base salary was an inflationary adjustment on January 1, 2006, based on the consumer price
index, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement.

Cash Bonuses.Pursuant to their amended and restated employment agreements, Messrs. Blair's and Peters's right to
performance bonuses and stock based awards terminated upon stockholder approval of the Plan of Liquidation. Instead, their employment agreements provided for a retention bonus, which was paid when the
Board of Directors adopted the Plan of Liquidation, and two performance milestones to be paid if and when the remaining milestones were met. As described below, both milestones were met in
mid-2003. The performance milestones were as follows:



Both
milestone bonus payments became payable on June 19, 2003, the date on which all of our bank debt was repaid, and all milestone payments have been paid as of the date of this
Proxy Statement.

See
"Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table" below regarding specific employment agreements and arrangements with members of our senior management.

Pearce Employment Agreement.After the resignation of Mr. Blair on November 8, 2007, the Board of Directors
appointed Mr. Pearce the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company.



Mr. Pearce
had previously been advising the Company on matters pertaining to corporate development initiatives for a fee of $12,000 per month. In connection with the appointment,
on November 9, 2007, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Pearce and the consulting agreement was mutually terminated by both parties. The following is a summary of

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

The employment agreements of Messrs. Blair and Peters, as amended through September 30, 2006, included the following provisions:

Salary.Mr. Blair's amended employment agreement previously provided for an annual base salary of $360,000, with
automatic annual cost of living increases based on the increase, if any, in the consumer price index. In anticipation of the reduction of our asset base, the conclusion of settlement negotiations in
connection with the Resort, our assumption of the ownership of the Resort and the assumption that there would be a corresponding reduction in demands on Mr. Blair's time, the compensation
committee negotiated a reduced time commitment and a reduced salary arrangement with Mr. Blair. Accordingly, a further amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Blair was
executed on March 22, 2004. Under this amended and restated employment agreement, Mr. Blair was expected to devote a reduced number of hours per calendar quarter to Golf Trust.
Correspondingly, we agreed to pay him an annual salary (plus an annual inflationary adjustment based on the consumer price index) of $190,827 for 2005 and $190,827 for each subsequent year.

Following
the June 2003 disposition of our Sandpiper Golf Course, located in Santa Barbara, California, and the corresponding reduction in demands on Mr. Peters's time, the
compensation committee and Mr. Peters agreed upon a reduced time commitment and a reduced salary arrangement. Accordingly, a further amended and restated employment agreement with
Mr. Peters was executed on August 29, 2003. Under this amended and restated employment agreement, Mr. Peters was expected to devote a substantially reduced number of hours per
calendar quarter to Golf Trust. Correspondingly, we paid him a salary of $12,000 per quarter plus additional compensation at a rate of $150 per hour for hours worked in excess of 80 hours per
quarter. This arrangement was extended by mutual agreement until April 30, 2007; however, Mr. Peters resigned prior to its termination effective February 5, 2007 due to his
commitments to another employer.

Ms. Clifford's
base salary of $110,233 was not adjusted upon her appointment as our Principal Accounting Officer nor upon her appointment as our Chief Financial Officer.

Bonuses.Under their employment agreements, as amended in 2001, the eligibility of Messrs. Blair and Peters for normal
performance bonuses and stock based awards terminated upon the approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our stockholders. Upon such approval of the Plan of Liquidation, the applicable amended employment
contracts provided for (a) retention bonuses and forgiveness of indebtedness, and (b) performance milestone bonuses, each as described below:

August 27, 2004, (e) $191,794 to Mr. Peters on September 27, 2004, and (f) $104,927 to Mr. Peters on September 29, 2006. The amounts remaining of
$1,233,907, plus accrued interest, to Mr. Blair and $82,615, plus accrued interest, to Mr. Peters were paid following the sale of the Resort.

Extension of Non-Recourse Tax Loans Secured by Stock.Upon each non-cash benefit payment
(i.e., debt forgiveness and stock award acceleration) occurring concurrently with the adoption by the Board of Directors of the Plan of Liquidation,
Messrs. Blair and Peters incurred tax liability, but were unable to fund such liability by selling our common stock because of federal securities law restrictions and other concerns. Pursuant
to the terms of their amended and restated employment agreements dated as of February 25, 2001, we made non-recourse loans to Messrs. Blair and Peters of $1,595,000
($1,150,000 to Mr. Blair and $445,000 to Mr. Peters) for the payment of such tax liability. These loans were evidenced by promissory notes from Messrs. Blair and Peters and
secured by their total holdings at that

time
of 199,415 shares of our common stock (143,790 of which were owned by Mr. Blair and 55,625 of which were owned by Mr. Peters) valued at $8 per share at the time of the issuance of
these loans. The outstanding balance of these loans at June 30, 2002, principal and interest, was $1,655,000. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, we recorded an allowance for
doubtful accounts against this receivable in the aggregate amounts of $112,000 and $497,000, respectively, which approximated the difference in the pledged value of $8 per share and the computed value
based on the net assets in liquidation at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

As
a result of the letter agreement that we entered into with Mr. Blair on March 22, 2004, Mr. Blair agreed to, among other things, irrevocably assign to us the
shares of our common stock, which secured the above-mentioned $1,150,000 non-recourse loan previously made to Mr. Blair, in exchange for our agreement to cancel such loan.

As
a result of the letter agreement that we entered into with Mr. Peters on March 30, 2005, Mr. Peters agreed to, among other things, irrevocably assign to us the
shares of our common stock, which secured the above-mentioned $445,000 non-recourse loan previously made to Mr. Peters, in exchange for our agreement to cancel such loan.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End

The following table sets forth information concerning the outstanding equity awards of each of the named executive officers as of December 31, 2007. The
value of unexercised in-the-money options at December 31, 2007 (the last business day of the year) is based on a value of $1.98 per share, the prior closing price of our
common stock on the American Stock Exchange on December 31, 2007.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

Severance.On February 9, 2001, in connection with the Plan of Liquidation, we entered into a "stay" arrangement with
Tracy S. Clifford, which provided for 15 months of severance equivalent to her then annual salary and health benefits upon a change of control created by the adoption by the Board of
Directors of the Plan of Liquidation. This arrangement was amended on January 1, 2005 to extend the severance term from 15 to 18 months. On November 7, 2007, the Company and
Ms. Clifford entered into a Severance and Consulting Agreement that replaced her existing severance arrangement.

See
"Tracy S. Clifford" in the "Compensation Agreement Changes Since the End of Fiscal Year 2006" section above for a summary of the material terms of the agreement.

We
entered into a stay arrangement with R. Keith Wilt on March 31, 2006 in connection with the Plan of Liquidation. This stay arrangement provides for a severance payment to
Mr. Wilt equivalent to nine months of his current annual salary upon the termination of his employment following a sale of the Resort.

Covenants Not to Compete.Under Mr. Blair's amended and restated employment agreement as in effect upon his
resignation, until November 8, 2008 (one year after his resignation), Mr. Blair may not:

Notwithstanding the above limitations, Mr. Blair can invest at any time, at his discretion, in certain specified enterprises.

Under
Mr. Peters's amended and restated employment agreement as in effect upon his resignation, until February 5, 2008 (one year after his resignation), Mr. Peters
may not:



Notwithstanding
the above limitations, Mr. Peters may be employed by a business that competes with us so long as he does not have direct or indirect responsibility for any
interaction with, or analysis of, Golf Trust and is wholly screened off from such interaction and analysis by the competitive business.

Change of Control.Mr. Blair's amended and restated employment agreement provided that he would have "good cause" to
resign upon a change of control and, in that case, all of his stock options and restricted stock would vest in full and he would be entitled to severance payments, minus the previously paid retention
bonus and any milestone payments in connection with the Plan of Liquidation. The amended and restated employment agreements of both Messrs. Blair and Peters provided that if any payment by or
on behalf of Golf Trust or our operating partnership to either executive qualified as an excess parachute payment under the Code, we would make additional payments in cash to the executive (so called
gross-up payments) so that the executive would be put in the same after-tax position as he would have been had no excise tax been imposed by the Code. These provisions are no
longer applicable as both Blair and Peters resigned before any change of control and no parachute payments have been nor will they be paid to the executives.

Compensation of Directors

We pay our independent directors fees for their services as directors. Independent directors during 2007 received annual compensation of $10,000, plus a fee of
$1,000 for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors (whether in person or telephonically), and $500 for attending each committee meeting. We reimburse directors for their reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket travel expenses. Under our non-employee directors' stock option plan, at the time of our initial public offering and on the first four
anniversaries of our initial public offering, our three independent directors received automatic annual grants of options to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock at the stock's fair market value
on the date of grant. All grants to our independent directors were fully vested on the grant date and expire ten years from the date of grant. Upon the February 2001 grant, the shares available under
our non-employee directors' stock option plan were exhausted and no options have been granted to our independent directors since that time. On January 18, 2008, the Compensation
Committee modified the Board compensation structure for 2008 as further described below.

Our
Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed for us by BDO Seidman, LLP in order to assure that the provision
of such services does not impair BDO Seidman, LLP's independence. Prior to the beginning of our fiscal year, our Audit Committee typically pre-approves certain general audit and
non-audit services up to specified cost levels. Any audit or non-audit services that are not generally pre-approved in this manner, require specific
pre-approval by our Audit Committee. While our Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members, the member or members to whom such authority
is delegated must report any pre-approval decisions to our Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. Our Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to
pre-approve services performed by BDO Seidman, LLP to management.

All
of the services described in "Audit-Related Fees," "Tax Fees" and "All Other Fees" in the table above were approved by the Audit Committee as required by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (in Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, paragraph c(7)(i)(C)).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board
of Directors and Stockholders
Golf Trust of America, Inc.

We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Golf Trust of America, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 (going concern basis), the consolidated
statement of net assets as of December 31, 2006 (liquidation basis), the consolidated statement of operations for the period from November 9, 2007 to December 31, 2007 (going
concern basis), the consolidated statements of changes in net assets in liquidation for the period from January 1, 2007 to November 8, 2007 and for the year ended December 31,
2006 (liquidation basis), the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for the for the period from November 9, 2007 to December 31, 2007 (going concern basis), and the consolidated
statements of cash flows for the period from November 9, 2007 to December 31, 2007 (going concern basis), for the period from January 1, 2007 to November 8, 2007 and for
the year ended December 31, 2006 (liquidation basis). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

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

As
discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the stockholders of the Company approved a Plan of Liquidation (POL) in May 2001. Accordingly, the Company had
used the liquidation basis of accounting since that date. As further discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, on November 8, 2007, the stockholders approved a
proposal by the Board of Directors to terminate the POL. As a result, the Company changed its basis of accounting from the liquidation basis to the going concern basis effective November 9,
2007.

In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Golf Trust of America, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 (going concern basis) and the net assets as of December 31, 2006 (liquidation basis); and their results of operations and cash flows for the period
from November 9, 2007 to December 31, 2007 (going concern basis) and the changes in their net assets and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2007 to November 8, 2007
and the year ended December 31, 2006 (liquidation basis) in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

GOLF TRUST OF AMERICA, INC.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    Organization, Termination of the Plan of Liquidation and Alternative Business Strategies

Organization

Golf Trust of America, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Maryland on November 8, 1996 as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). During the
subsequent years leading up to 2000, the Company acquired or held interests in 47 golf courses (18-hole equivalent). In May 2001, after consideration of different strategic alternatives
our common and preferred stockholders approved a Plan of Liquidation, the POL. As a result, the Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting. The POL contemplated the sale of all of the
Company's assets and the payment of, or provision for, the Company's liabilities and expenses, and authorized the Company to establish a reserve to fund any contingent liabilities. In 2002, the
Company lost its REIT status. Subsequent to adoption of the POL, the Company sold 45 of the 47 golf courses. The last 4 golf courses sold, which occurred on July 16, 2007, consisted of the
Innisbrook Golf Club and Resort (the "Resort"). In contemplation of the sale, the Company entered into a separate agreement to redeem the Company's $20 million Series A Cumulative
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock for $17.5 million.

Title
to the Company's golf courses is generally held by Golf Trust of America, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. The Company refers to Golf Trust of America, L.P. as
the "Operating Partnership", and the Company refers to the Operating Partnership and itself (together with all subsidiaries) collectively as "we", "us" or the "Company". The title to the Resort, prior
to its sale, was held by GTA-IB, a wholly owned subsidiary of GTA-IB Golf Resort, LLC, which in turn is 100% owned by the Operating Partnership. Through its wholly owned
subsidiaries
GTA GP, Inc. and GTA LP, Inc., the Company holds 100 percent of the interest in the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2007. GTA GP, Inc. is
the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owns a 0.2 percent interest therein. GTA LP, Inc. is the sole limited partner in the Operating Partnership and owns a
99.8 percent interest therein.

At
December 31, 2007, the Company's only remaining real estate asset is the Country Clubs of Wildewood and Woodcreek Farms, or Stonehenge, which represents two private golf
courses operating under one club structure located in South Carolina. Stonehenge is owned and managed by the Company and is presently held in fee simple. The title to Stonehenge is held by Golf Trust
of America, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the Company's operating partnership.

Termination of the Plan of Liquidation

After consideration of its current strategic alternatives, the Board adopted a resolution declaring the termination of the POL, advisable and the Company's
stockholders approved such proposal to terminate the POL on November 8, 2007. Therefore, financial statements subsequent to this date are presented under the going concern basis as an operating
company rather than under the liquidation basis of accounting.

The
Board believes that the termination of the POL affords the Company flexibility in maximizing value for its stockholders. Operating the Company as a going concern outside of the POL
allows the Company to pursue alternative business strategies, including a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other growth initiative. The Board is still permitted to pursue the sale
of the Company's final property and/or consider the liquidation of the Company in the event that it is unable to identify and effect a viable alternative, but it would no longer be required to do so
by the terms of the POL.

Alternative Business Strategies

The Board has not limited the types of alternative growth strategies it intends to consider. Emphasis is to be placed on areas of historical Company expertise, as
well as that of our management and board of directors.

The
Company currently has approximately $85 million of federal income tax net operation loss carryforwards (NOLs), which may be utilized to offset taxable income generated in
future years. It is possible that some or all of these NOLs could be utilized by the surviving corporation in a business combination and could make the Company a more attractive potential business
partner. However, the use of NOLs is subject to numerous rules and regulations, including limitations resulting from a more than 50% change in ownership or the sale of the remaining golf courses,
which can substantially reduce the amount of NOLs that are ultimately available to offset income in subsequent years. The Company cannot provide a firm estimate of the potential future NOL reduction
at this time due to the variability of several important analytical factors. In addition, should an ownership change of control be deemed to have occurred, the Company may be limited by industry or
line of business in its ability to successfully utilize existing NOLs.

To
date, the Company has not entered into a definitive agreement with another company regarding growth initiatives or a business combination.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GTA GP, Inc., GTA LP, Inc., the Operating
Partnership and their wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Accounting

The Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting upon the stockholder approval of its POL on May 22, 2001. From that date forward through and until
November 8, 2007, all assets and liabilities had been stated at their estimated fair value and estimated settlement amounts. The estimated fair value had been determined using available market
information and valuation methodologies deemed appropriate. However, considerable best-efforts judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value.

In
connection with its re-adoption of the going concern basis of accounting effective November 9, 2007, the Company recorded a valuation adjustment for Stonehenge of
approximately
$2,856,000 to return its carrying amount to depreciated cost which was offset by (i) approximately $328,000 in reversals of previously accrued liquidation costs and (ii) approximately
$60,000 from the establishment of prepaid Directors and Officers insurance that had previously been expensed under liquidation basis. Additionally, approximately $390,000 of accrued severance included
in the liquidation accrual was reclassified to accrued payroll. These adjustments were made as of November 8, 2007.

Reserve for Estimated Costs During the Period of Liquidation

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company was required to estimate and accrue the costs associated with implementing and completing the plan of
liquidation. These amounts varied significantly due to, among other things, the timing and realized proceeds from golf course sales, the costs of retaining personnel and others to oversee the
liquidation, including the costs of insurance, the timing and amounts associated with discharging known and contingent liabilities, transaction costs related to any sales and the costs associated with
cessation of the Company's operations. The Company had accrued estimated costs and operating results, including corporate overhead and specific liquidation

Included
in the paid severance amounts above are performance milestone payments to the Company's executives on July 16, 2007 following the closing of the sale of the Resort. The
remaining balance of accrued severance represents the severance liability to the four remaining corporate employees who were non-executive staff at the time of the approval of the POL,
which will be paid by July 31, 2008. The adjustment to the other liquidation reserve of approximately $1,408,000 is the provision for the Company's past cumulative net operating results and
future forecasts, which included the Resort and its condominium sales operations (until the closing of the sale of these assets on July 16,
2007), certain incurred but unbilled liquidation expenses, and an estimate of the overhead and interest expense of the Company's corporate operations through the date of the stockholder vote on the
termination of the plan of liquidation.

Re-adoption of Going Concern Basis

The Company re-adopted the going concern basis of accounting upon the stockholder termination of the Company's POL on November 8, 2007. As a
result, the carrying value of the Company's remaining operating asset, Stonehenge, was adjusted to the lower of the depreciated historical cost and the appraised value. Management's estimate of the
fair value of the Stonehenge property at November 8, 2007 (after consideration of the refundable initiation fees) was $5,400,000. Management's estimate considered, among other factors, an
independent appraisal from J. Richard Marlow, MAI, SGA, a certified real estate appraiser and consultant.

Pursuant
to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company is required to adjust
the carrying value to the lower of historical cost or the appraised value by asset group or category. The historical cost in each category was lower than the allocation of the appraised value,
requiring an adjustment of approximately $2,856,000 that was recorded as of November 8, 2007 resulting in a carrying value of Stonehenge of approximately $4,467,000. The adjusted carrying value
is not indicative of the price at which the Company would be willing to sell Stonehenge should the Board decide at a later date that it is in the shareholders' best interest to do so.

In
addition, upon re-adoption of the going concern basis of accounting, the Company reversed the remaining Reserve for Estimated Costs During the Period of Liquidation of
approximately $328,000, as discussed above.

Cash Risk Concentration

We have cash and cash equivalents in a financial institution which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, for amounts up to $100,000.
At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had amounts in excess of FDIC limits. The Company mitigates its risk by depositing cash and cash equivalents in a money center bank with superior
agency credit ratings.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company invests the
majority of its available cash in short-term certificates of deposit with maturities of 30-35 days. At December 31, 2007, $5,800,000 was in a 35-day
certificate of deposit, or CD, at Wachovia Bank, N.A. bearing interest at 4.1% per annum which matured on January 22, 2008. Upon maturity, the principal amount of the CD is adjusted based on
projections of cash requirements and rolled in to a new CD. The Company's remaining available cash balances are in interest bearing money market accounts at Wachovia Bank N.A. from which funds are
transferred to the operating bank accounts as needed to cover operational expenses.

Property and Equipment

From May 22, 2001 through November 8, 2007, all of our long-lived assets had been deemed to be held for sale and, therefore,
depreciation expense had not been recorded since September 30, 2000. Subsequent to November 8, 2007, as previously discussed, property and equipment is carried at the lower of cost or
net realizable value. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the original estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Golf course improvements

15 yearsBuildings and improvements

30 yearsFurniture, fixtures and equipment

38 years


Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily represents amounts due from Stonehenge members and is net of allowances of approximately $16,000 and $10,000 for doubtful accounts
at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Management
reviews accounts receivable quarterly to determine if any receivables are uncollectible. Any receivable considered to be uncollectible is included in the allowance for
doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect the receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.

Inventories

The inventory for food and beverage, golf merchandise and maintenance supplies at Stonehenge is recorded at the lower of cost or market.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from golf operations, food and beverage and merchandise sales are recognized at the time of sale or when the service is provided. Revenues from
membership dues are billed monthly and recognized in the period earned. The monthly dues are expected to cover the cost of providing future membership services. Prepaid dues are recognized as income
over the prepayment period.

---



Membership Initiation Fees

Certain memberships previously sold at Stonehenge have initiation fees totaling approximately $1,326,000 that are refundable (without interest) based on specific
conditions generally upon conclusion of a thirty-year required membership term, as defined in the Club Membership Manual. These refundable initiation fees may be refundable prior to the
expiration of the
thirty-year term under specific membership replacement conditions. The estimated present value of these potential refunds is $342,000, which is recorded as an accrued liability at
December 31, 2007 and accretes over the members' remaining average contractual term using an interest rate of approximately 10.5%.            The accretion is included in interest
expense.

An
initiation fee is required to be paid on all memberships at Stonehenge. The majority of our membership fees are not refundable and are deferred and recognized over the average
expected life of an active membership. Membership initiation fees are deferred and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the average expected life of an active membership,
which based on historical information is deemed to be an average nine years for the all membership categories.

Leases

Leases which transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of property are classified as capital leases. Assets and liabilities are recorded
at amounts equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term. Interest expense relating to the lease liabilities is recorded to affect constant rates of
interest over the terms of the leases.

Leases
which do not transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of property are classified as operating leases, and the related rentals are charged to expense as
incurred.

Income Taxes

During July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109" ("FIN 48"), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold
and measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The provisions of FIN 48 were effective for the Company as of
January 1, 2007 and required application of FIN 48 to all existing tax positions upon initial adoption. Income tax related interest and penalties will be recorded as a component of the
income tax provision. The adoption of the standard had no material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

The
Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets or liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the enacted tax rates.
Income tax expense will increase or decrease in the same period in which a change in tax rates is enacted. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when the weight of
available evidence
indicates it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized at its initially recorded value.

Stock based compensation

Compensation expense is determined by reference to the fair market value of an award on the date of grant and is amortized on a straight-line basis
over the vesting period. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123(R),Share-Based Payment, which
was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity
exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services.

59

---



Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per common share are presented under two formats: basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share. Earnings per share are computed
by dividing net income (after deducting dividends on preferred stock) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by
dividing net income (after deducting dividends on preferred stock) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, plus the impact of those common stock equivalents
(i.e., stock options) that are dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During February 2007, the FASB Board issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS 159"). This
statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. The adoption of this standard had no effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

During
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS 160"). This
statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries and for the deconsolidation of subsidiaries and clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement also requires expanded disclosures that
clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on
or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this standard is expected to have no effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

During
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141 (Revised 2007)"). While this statement retains the fundamental
requirement of SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations, SFAS 141 (Revised 2007) now
establishes the principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination: recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities
assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or the gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what
information should be disclosed in the financial statements to enable the users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. For the Company,
SFAS 141 (Revised 2007) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is after December 31, 2008.

In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure financial
assets and liabilities. This statement clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. SFAS
No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to

60

unobservable
data. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. This statement is effective in fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. The adoption of this standard has not had an effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Revolving Line of Credit

GTA Stonehenge LLC has a $4,200,000 revolving credit line with Textron Financial Corporation ("Textron"), which matures on March 18, 2009. This loan
is collateralized by a security interest in Stonehenge. The interest rate is the prime rate in effect on the first business day of the month plus 1.75% per annum paid monthly resulting in an effective
rate of 9.25% at December 31, 2007. The related security agreement contains events of default provisions that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees,
violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, termination, dissolution or liquidation of Stonehenge LLC or the
Operating Partnership, failure to cure the loss of certain licenses, permits or contracts, curtailment of utilities or services at Stonehenge and material judgments. In the event of the occurrence of
an event of default, Textron is entitled to, among other things, accelerate all obligations of the Borrower under the aforesaid loan documents and sell certain of the Borrower's assets, namely
Stonehenge and related assets, to satisfy the Borrower's obligations. This loan requires that the operations at Stonehenge for the immediately preceding twelve month period be sufficient to meet a
debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the mortgage, of at least 1.20, as measured monthly. At December 31, 2007, the Company did not meet the debt service coverage ratio (in part due to
increased efforts to improve the playing quality of the golf courses by investing significantly in additional beautification, repair and maintenance projects, as well as attendant labor costs, related
to the golf courses, but which do not qualify for capitalization accounting treatment). In light of the fact that the Company has consistently met its financial obligations throughout the term of the
loan, Textron waived said covenant violation as of December 31, 2007 subject to re-evaluation at December 31, 2008.

The Company entered in to various other loan and capital lease obligations that have payment terms ranging from approximately $200 to $2,000 per month and

7.    Preferred Stock

Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock

On April 2, 1999, the Company completed a $20,000,000 registered offering of 800,000 shares of the Company's 9.25% Series A Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $25.00 per share. All shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were sold to AEW Targeted Securities Fund, L.P. ("AEW").

On
June 25, 2007, the Company and AEW entered into the AEW Option Agreement, which, among other things:



The
Company exercised the Option and redeemed the Series A Preferred Stock for the Exercise Price in connection with the closing of the sale of the Resort.

8.    Stock Options and Awards

Employee Stock Options and Awards

The compensation committee of the board of directors determines compensation, including stock options and awards. Options are generally awarded with the exercise
price equal to the market price at the date of grant and became exercisable in three to five years. The Company has several stock option/award plans as listed below.

The
Company's 2007 Stock Option Plan, which is shareholder approved, permits the grant of share options and shares to its employees for up to 700,000 shares of common stock. The Company
believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the
Company's stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest ratably over three years and have three to five

Stock Option Plan Transactions

On December 17, 2007, 275,000 option shares were granted from the 2007 Stock Option Plan to the Company's new CEO, Michael C. Pearce. The estimated
grant-date fair value of these options was $1.00 per share. The exercise price is $2.10, the closing American Stock Exchange price on December 14, 2007, as specified in Mr. Pearce's
employment agreement. Stock option expense of approximately $4,300 was recorded related to these issued options. No option shares were granted to employees or exercised in 2006. All other outstanding
options, which were granted prior to approval of the POL in May 2001, and vesting of these options were accelerated pursuant to the adoption of the POL.

The
fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Sholes option valuation model. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the
Company's stock and was estimated at 57.05%. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury bill rate in effect at the time of grant
which was approximately 4%. The expected term in years is an average of four years. The Company did not grant any shares in 2006 and other than the 275,000 options described herein there were no
outstanding unvested options. At December 31, 2007, there was approximately $271,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested-share-based compensation arrangements
granted under the 2007 Stock Option Plan that will be amortized over the next four years.

Pursuant
to the respective option plans, except the 1997 Non-Employee Director's Plan, any options issued to employees who are subsequently terminated expire ninety days
following his/her termination if not exercised. The options issued under the 1997 Non-Employee Director's Plan are exercisable until their original expiration date.

At
December 31, 2007, these options had no intrinsic value.

9.    Income Taxes

The Company initially qualified as a real estate investment trust, commonly called a REIT. The Company no longer qualified as a REIT as of 2002. Under the tax
code, once REIT status is lost, it generally may not be regained for the following four years. Accordingly, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on any net taxable income it earns (or net
taxable gain it realizes).

During
2007 and 2006, the Company's operations resulted in a net operating loss for income tax purposes. Therefore, no income tax will be due on its 2007 and 2006 operating revenues or
its proceeds from 2007 and 2006 property sales. Deferred income tax assets (liabilities) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

operating losses expire at various dates beginning with the 2021 tax year and ending with the 2026 tax year.

Also
included in deferred tax assets above is a capital loss carryover of $44,568,000, which expires in 2009.

The
provision for federal and state income taxes for the periods January 1, 2007 to November 8, 2007 (liquidation basis) and November 9, 2007 to December 31,
2007 (going concern basis) and for the year ended December 31, 2006 is made up of the following components:

Utilization
of the deferred tax asset of $47,497,000 is dependent on future taxable income. Based on the Company's historical operating results and its current estimates of future
operating income, we do not anticipate generating future profits from which to benefit from the calculated deferred tax asset; accordingly, a valuation allowance for the entire amount has been
recorded.

The
effective income tax rate is different from the federal statutory rate for the periods January 1, 2007 to November 8, 2007 (liquidation basis) and November 9,
2007 to December 31, 2007 (going concern basis) and for the year ended December 31, 2006 for the following reasons:

The
statutory rate reconciling percentages for 2006 are initiated primarily as a result of the nominal amount of pretax income to which the reconciling items are being compared. The
state income tax expense for 2006 is higher than in prior years due to an adjustment of state net operating loss carryovers. The "Other" reconciling amount for 2006 is the result of an adjustment to
the net fixed asset tax basis that did not have a corresponding impact on the net operating loss carryover. The primary reconciling item for 2007 is the permanent difference related to the financial
statement recognition of income for the discount on repayment of preferred stock that is not includible in taxable income.

In
June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109". The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements
in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and prescribes a minimum recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon
examination that a tax position must meet before being recognized in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be
recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not
be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, FIN 48 also provide guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure and transition.

The
adoption of FIN 48 has not resulted in a decrease in the deferred tax assets for the unrecognized tax benefits to tax positions taken in prior periods. The Company did not
recognize any adjustment to reserves for uncertain tax positions as a result of the related implementation of FIN 48.

The
Company's policy is to include interest and penalties recognized in accordance with FIN 48 in the financial statements as a component of income tax expense. However, since
there were no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007 there have been no interest or penalties recorded to date by the Company.

The
following table summarizes the changes to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007:

The
Company files U.S. Federal, South Carolina and Florida income tax returns. Since the Company has incurred net operating losses since 2001, all tax years from 2001 through 2007
remain subject to examination by the IRS for U.S. federal tax purposes as do our state tax returns by the appropriate state taxing authorities. The 2001 through 2003 tax years may only be adjusted to
eliminate or reduce the utilization of net operating losses claimed in future years, while our 2004 through 2007 returns remain subject in their entirety to examination by the appropriate tax
authorities.

10.    Sale of the Resort

On July 16, 2007, the Company and its affiliates completed the sale of the Business of the Resort and all of GTA-IB Golf Resort, LLC's
equity interest in Golf Host Securities, Inc. to Salamander pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. The purchase price received by the Company was approximately $35,000,000 in cash less a
working capital purchase price adjustment of $2,221,000 plus (a) $4,000,000 to be used to settle certain obligations, (b) $844,000 for reimbursement of certain rental pool payments
discussed in more detail below, (c) $317,000 for reimbursement of certain agreed upon capital expenditures, (d) $25,000 for reimbursement of expenses related to Parcel G and
(e) the assumption of certain liabilities. The final post-closing working capital settlement amount, as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, was settled and paid in the amount
of approximately $1,305,000 on November 29, 2007 which along with other vendor refunds and reimbursements approximated the

recorded at September 30, 2007. The Asset Purchase Agreement provides for a $2,000,000 escrow for GTA-IB's and the Company's indemnification liabilities to be held,
pursuant to its terms, until at least March 31, 2008.

Certain
condensed balance sheet information of the Resort as of December 31, 2006 adjusted for the liquidation basis of accounting, is provided below.

Master Lease Refurbishment Obligation

In connection with the Company taking control of the Resort from its unaffiliated borrower effective July 16, 2004, the Company recorded a liability to
recognize its obligations under the Master Lease Agreement, or MLA, refurbishment program. This program entitles condominium owners who participate in the Rental Pool to 50% reimbursement of the
refurbishment costs of their unit subject to the terms and conditions of the MLA. Interest on this liability is accrued at a rate of 5% and is paid quarterly. Principal payments began in the first
quarter of 2005 and will be paid quarterly through the fourth quarter of 2009. In addition, the Company's subsidiary, GTA IB, LLC, agreed to provide refurbishment reimbursement for units placed
into the rental pool during 2005 at a level of 25% of the applicable condominium owner's investment in the refurbishment. The Company refers to this program as Phase 5. Interest on the
Phase 5 liability is accrued at a rate of 2.5% per annum and paid quarterly. Principal payments for Phase 5 begin in the first quarter of 2008 and will be paid quarterly through the
fourth quarter of 2012. As of December 31, 2006, the Company estimated the settlement value of this liability upon sale of the Resort to be $4,254,000. This liability was transferred with the
sale of the Resort.

Westin Termination Fee

The Management Agreement that the Company executed with Westin on July 15, 2004 provided that the Company shall pay to Westin, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in that agreement, a termination fee of not less than $5,500,000. The estimated settlement value of this liability upon sale

of
the Resort was approximately $5,594,000 as of December 31, 2006. The termination fee was paid in concurrence with the sale of the Resort.

Troon Supplemental Fee

The facility management agreement that Westin executed with Troon was effective as of July 15, 2004. That agreement provides that the Company shall pay to
Troon, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in that agreement, a supplemental fee of $800,000 for outstanding management fees originally payable to Troon prior to July 15, 2004. The
supplemental fee was paid in concurrence with the closing.

11.    Commitments and Contingencies and Subsequent Events

Operating Leases

The Company leases certain equipment under operating leases. Its corporate office lease at December 31, 2007 was month-to-month.

Schooner Shares

The 85,000 shares of common stock were pledged to the Company as security for the payment and performance of the obligations and liabilities of the pledgor under
a common stock redemption agreement executed concurrently with a 2001 asset sale. This redemption agreement provides in part that these shares will be tendered to us if and when the total amount of
liquidating distributions paid to the holders of common stock pursuant to the plan of liquidation is less than $10.74 per share. Pursuant to a definitive agreement reached December 27, 2007,
the Company received remuneration in the amount of $60,000 and the shares were released to Schooner Capital.

Legal Proceedings

Lake Ozark Industries, Inc. and Everett Holding Company, Inc. v. Golf Trust of America, et al.

The titled action was brought in the Circuit Court of Miller County, Missouri, by a contractor, Lake Ozark Construction Industries, Inc. ("LOCI") and its
asserted assignee of lien and account rights, Everett Holding Company, Inc., in the fall of 1999 against numerous defendants, including the Operating Partnership. Plaintiffs assert LOCI
performed construction services on, or that LOCI benefited, the property of various defendants, including the Operating Partnership. With respect to the Operating Partnership, plaintiffs seek to
foreclose a mechanic's lien upon property formerly owned by it. The lien is for the principal amount of approximately $1,276,000, plus interest at 10% per annum and attorney fees. Plaintiffs calculate
interest to May 20, 1999, just prior to the lien filing, to be approximately $151,000 and interest thereafter to be $354 per day. The Court entered a written order granting the Operating
Partnership's Motion for Summary Judgment in April 2002 and a final judgment in November 2003. Plaintiffs appealed the ruling to the Missouri Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals on April 5,
2005 reversed the Circuit Court judgment in favor of us and remanded the case to

69

---



the
Circuit Court for further proceedings. On May 31, 2005, the Court of Appeals filed a modified Opinion, which again reversed the Circuit Court judgment in favor of us and remanded the case
to the Circuit Court for further proceedings. On March 12, 2008, a case management conference was held. The presiding judge set September 30, 2008, as deadline for completing discovery
and scheduled another conference for October 8, 2008, at which time it is anticipated that the case will be set for trial. At this time, the Company is unable to assess the likely outcome of
this litigation.

Young Complaints

On March 22, 2004, a lawsuit was filed by one of our prior directors, Larry D. Young (together with Danny L. Young, Kyle N. Young, the Young Family
Irrevocable Trust and The Legends Group, Ltd.) (collectively "the Youngs"), against our independent registered public accounting firm, BDO Seidman, LLP, and three former BDO partners
(the "BDO Defendants"), the Company and our executive officers (the "GTA Defendants").

On
February 1, 2008, the Company and the Youngs entered into a settlement agreement requiring the plaintiffs to pay the Company $500,000 and transfer title to certain land in
Charleston County, South Carolina to the Company. BDO Seidman, LLP, its partners and the Youngs had previously resolved their differences. The case is now closed.

Property Tax Lawsuit

GTA-IB had filed lawsuits against the property appraiser of Pinellas County, Florida to challenge the 2004, 2005 and 2006 real estate assessment on
the Resort property. Pinellas County filed a motion to dismiss, which was denied by the court. In January 2008, the Company settled the lawsuits with the Pinellas County Property Appraiser and Tax
Collector for all years. As a result of the settlement, the Company received reductions in the 2004 and 2005 assessments and agreed to dismiss its 2006 lawsuit. Based on the reductions in assessed
value, the Company expects to receive a total refund of approximately $170,000 of which $117,000 was received on or about February 25, 2008. The case is now closed.

Ordinary Course Litigation

Owners and operators of golf courses are subject to a variety of legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of operating a golf course, including
proceedings relating to personal injury and property damage. The Company maintains insurance for these purposes, subject to deductibles and exclusions deemed reasonable by the Company. The Company is
not currently subject to any material claims of this type.

Other

On January 18, 2008, the Company's CFO was awarded 50,000 stock options at an exercise price of $1.90. Upon full Board of Directors approval on
January 25,2008, each of the four independent members of the Company's Board of Directors was awarded 40,000 stock options at an exercise price of $1.82 all of which vest ratably over three
years and have a contractual term of three years from the vesting date. The vesting of these options accelerate upon change of control and the Board's options also accelerate upon the resignation or
removal of a director upon completion of his elected term.
