CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, (i) the degree to which the pandemic ("COVID-19" or "coronavirus") may cause governmental restrictions on our operations, effect demand for leisure and entertainment services, impact our business relative to other businesses that compete with us and increase the costs of, and time to, open new venues, (ii) the adequacy of our cash flows from operations and available cash to meet our liquidity needs, including in the event of a prolonged re-closure of our venues, (iii) our ability to obtain additional financing and (iv) changes in our labor markets during the recovery period from the pandemic. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “endeavor,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “overestimate,” “underestimate,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “forecast,” “predict,” “continue” or other similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe future plans and strategies, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other forward-looking information. Our ability to predict results or the actual outcome of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted results. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

•our ability to avoid future closures of our venues;

•factors impacting attendance, such as local conditions, contagious diseases, including COVID-19, and the availability of an effective vaccine, or the perceived threat of contagious diseases, disturbances, natural disasters, and terrorist activities;

•regulations and guidance of federal, state and local governments and health officials regarding the response to the ongoing pandemic, including with respect to business operations, safety protocols and public gatherings;

•our financial liquidity and ability to access capital;

•the ability to retain and attract members and guests to our properties;

•changes in global, national and local economic conditions, including, but not limited to, increases in unemployment levels, changes in consumer spending patterns, a prolonged economic slowdown and a downturn in the real estate market;

•effects of unusual weather patterns and extreme weather events, geographical concentrations with respect to our operations and seasonality of our business;

•competition within the industries in which we operate or may pursue additional investments, including competition for sites for our Entertainment Golf venues;

•material increases in our expenses, including, but not limited to, unanticipated labor issues, rent or costs with respect to our workforce, and costs of goods, utilities and supplies;

•our inability to sell or exit certain properties, and unforeseen changes to our ability to develop, redevelop or renovate certain properties;

•our ability to further invest in our business and implement our strategies;

•difficulty monetizing our real estate debt investments;

•liabilities with respect to inadequate insurance coverage, accidents or injuries on our properties, adverse litigation judgments or settlements, or membership deposits;

•changes to and failure to comply with relevant regulations and legislation, including in order to maintain certain licenses and permits, and environmental regulations in connection with our operations;

•inability to execute on our growth and development strategy by successfully developing, opening and operating new venues;

•impacts of any failures of our information technology and cybersecurity systems;

•the impact of any current or further legal proceedings and regulatory investigations and inquiries; and

•other risks detailed from time to time, particularly under the heading “Risk Factors” in this report, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. The factors noted above could cause our actual results to differ significantly from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s views only as of the date of this report. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results.

This segment also includes the Company's newest entertainment golf brand currently under development, Puttery. The first Puttery venue, which is located north of Dallas in The Colony, Texas, is expected to open in late August 2021 and its second venue located in Charlotte, North Carolina is expected to open in Q4 2021. The Company has announced three additional Puttery venues located in Washington DC, Miami, Florida and Houston, Texas; all of which are currently in development. Two additional locations are currently in or nearing lease execution.

The Company’s Traditional Golf segment is one of the largest operators of traditional golf properties in the United States. As of June 30, 2021, the Company owned, leased or managed 56 traditional golf properties across nine states.

In March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”). In response to the rapid spread of COVID-19, authorities around the world implemented numerous measures to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, "stay-at-home" or "shelter-in-place" orders and business shutdowns. Many jurisdictions in which we operate required mandatory store closures or imposed capacity limitations and other restrictions affecting our operations. As a result, during March 2020, we temporarily closed all of our Entertainment Golf venues and substantially all of our Traditional Golf courses and furloughed a substantial majority of our employees. In response to the uncertainty caused by the pandemic, we took several actions after we suspended operations to preserve our liquidity position and prepare for multiple contingencies.

Following the temporary closure of our venues in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, three of our four Drive Shack Entertainment Golf venues and all of our Traditional Golf properties were reopened by the end of the second quarter, subject to locally mandated capacity limitations and operational restrictions. Our Entertainment Golf venue in Orlando, Florida re-opened in December 2020. Restrictions on large group gatherings were in effect in the majority of the jurisdictions in which we operate, which resulted in the postponement or cancellation of events, banquets, and other large group gatherings. By April of this year the CDC lifted restrictions on group events and our business began to return to normal.

These developments had a material adverse impact on Company revenues, results of operations and cash flows in historical periods, and the Company believes that the risk of further negative effects is not insignificant, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, subject to the degree to which the pandemic subsides, intensifies or maintains the current status quo.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2021. Capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise defined, are defined in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

JUNE 30, 2021

(dollars in tables in thousands, except share data)

significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

The Company’s significant accounting policies for these financial statements as of June 30, 2021 are summarized below and should be read in conjunction with the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Use of Estimates – Our estimates are based on information available to management at the time of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the result of historical analysis, our understanding and experience of the Company’s operations, our knowledge of the industry and market-participant data available to us. Actual results have historically been in line with management’s estimates and judgments used in applying each of the accounting policies and management periodically re-evaluates accounting estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from these estimates and materially impact our Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the Company does not expect our assessments and assumptions to materially change in the future.

Real Estate, Held-for-Sale — Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, which meet certain criteria, are reclassified to real estate held-for-sale and measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company suspends depreciation and amortization for assets held-for-sale. Subsequent changes to the estimated fair value less costs to sell could impact the measurement of assets held-for-sale. Decreases below carrying value are recognized as an impairment loss and recorded in "(Gain) Loss on lease terminations and impairment" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. To the extent the fair value increases, any previously reported impairment is reversed to the extent of the impairment taken.

On March 7, 2018, the Company announced it was actively pursuing the sale of 26 owned Traditional Golf properties in order to generate capital for reinvestment in the Entertainment Golf business. On October 16, 2020, the Company completed the sale of that remaining held-for-sale Traditional Golf property for a sale price of $34.5 million and received net cash proceeds of approximately $33.6 million. As of June 30, 2021, the Company does not have any properties classified as held-for-sale.

Leasing Arrangements — The Company evaluates at lease inception whether an arrangement is or contains a lease by providing the Company with the right to control an asset. Operating leases are accounted for on balance sheet with the Right of Use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities recognized in "Operating lease right-of-use assets," "Other current liabilities" and "Operating lease liabilities - noncurrent" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance lease ROU assets, current lease liabilities and noncurrent lease liabilities are recognized in "Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation," and "Obligations under finance leases" and "Credit facilities and obligations under finance leases - noncurrent" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

All lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the associated payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that the Company would pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments for a similar term and in a similar economic environment on a collateralized basis. ROU assets, for both operating and finance leases, are initially measured based on the lease liability, adjusted for initial direct costs, prepaid rent, and lease incentives received. Operating leases are subsequently amortized into lease cost on a straight-line basis. Depreciation of the finance lease ROU assets is subsequently calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the expected lease terms and recorded in "Depreciation and amortization" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In addition to the fixed minimum payments required under the lease arrangements, certain leases require variable lease payments, which are payment of the excess of various percentages of gross revenue or net operating income over the minimum rental payments as well as payment of taxes assessed against the leased property. The leases generally also require the payment for the cost of insurance and maintenance. Variable lease payments are recognized when the associated activity occurs and contingency is resolved.

The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all lease contracts.

Other Investments — The Company owns an approximately 22% economic interest in a limited liability company which owns preferred equity in a commercial real estate project. The Company accounts for this investment as an equity method investment. The Company evaluates its equity method investment for other-than-temporary impairment whenever events or changes in

DRIVE SHACK INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

JUNE 30, 2021

(dollars in tables in thousands, except share data)

circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable. The evaluation of recoverability is based on management’s assessment of the financial condition and near-term prospects of the commercial real estate project, the length of time and the extent to which the market value of the investment has been less than cost, availability and cost of financing, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating results. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its recoverability analyses may not be realized, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future. As the fair value inputs utilized are unobservable, the Company determined that the significant inputs used to value this real estate investment fall within Level 3 for fair value reporting.

The operations and ongoing construction at the commercial real estate project halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-March 2020 and the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $24.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The other-than-temporary impairment charge was recorded in "Other income (loss), net" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The property reopened to the public with additional entertainment venues and retail shops in October 2020 while following COVID-19 related operational restrictions and capacity limitations, and implementing social distancing measures. However, the ability of the commercial real estate project to obtain additional funding to complete the construction and attain the financial results needed to recover any of our investment remains highly uncertain. The carrying value of the investment was zero as of both June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets — The Company periodically reviews the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets, including real estate held-for-use and held-for-sale, as well as finite-lived intangible assets and right-of-use assets, to determine whether current events or circumstances indicate that such carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The assessment of recoverability is based on management’s estimates by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows generated by the underlying asset, or other appropriate grouping of assets, to its carrying value to determine whether an impairment existed at its lowest level of identifiable cash flows. If the carrying amount is greater than the expected undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired and an impairment is recognized to the extent the carrying value of such asset exceeds its fair value. The Company generally measures fair value by considering sale prices for similar assets or by discounting estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash — The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Substantially all amounts on deposit with major financial institutions exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in the accounts and believe that the Company is

not exposed to significant credit risk because the accounts are at major financial institutions. Restricted cash is required primarily for construction in progress, letters of credit, and credit card processing.

The following table summarizes the Company's Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash, noncurrent:


	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020		June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019

Total Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash and Restricted cash, noncurrent	$	85,445	$	50,833	$	15,879	$	31,964

Accounts Receivable, Net — Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.8 million and $0.9 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon several factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, historical payment trends, current economic factors, and our expectations of future events that affect collectability. Collateral is generally not required.

3. REVENUES

The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time of sale to customers at the Company’s Entertainment Golf venues and Traditional Golf properties, including green fees, cart rentals, bay play, events and sales of food, beverages and merchandise. Revenue from membership dues is recognized in the month earned. Membership dues received in advance are included in deferred revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the appropriate period, which is generally twelve months or less for private club members and the following month for The Players Club members.

Private country club members in our Traditional Golf business generally pay an advance initiation fee deposit upon their acceptance as members to their respective country clubs. Initiation fee deposits are refundable 30 years after the date of acceptance as a member. The difference between the initiation fee deposit paid by the member and the present value of the refund obligation is deferred and recognized into Golf operations revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the expected life of an active membership, which is estimated to be seven years. See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Membership Deposit Liabilities.

10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Summary Table

The following table summarizes the carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2021:


	June 30, 2021					December 31, 2020
	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Fair Value Method (A)	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
Assets
Real estate securities, available-for-sale	$	3,341	$	3,341	Pricing models - Level 3	$	3,223	$	3,223
Cash and cash equivalents	81,428		81,428			47,786		47,786
Restricted cash, current and noncurrent	4,017		4,017			3,047		3,047
Liabilities
Junior subordinated notes payable	$	51,179	$	25,465	Pricing models - Level 3	$	51,182	$	18,591

(A)Pricing models are used for (i) real estate securities that are not traded in an active market, and, therefore, have little or no price transparency, and for which significant unobservable inputs must be used in estimating fair value, or (ii) debt obligations which are private and not traded.

Fair Value Measurements

Valuation Hierarchy

The fair value of financial instruments is categorized based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique and categorized into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company follows this hierarchy for its financial instruments measured at fair value.

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

Level 2 - Valuations based principally on observable market parameters, including

•quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets,

•inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, implied volatilities and credit spreads), and

•market corroborated inputs (derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data).

Level 3 - Valuations determined using unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, and that are significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The Company’s real estate securities and debt obligations are currently not traded in active markets and therefore have little or no price transparency. As a result, the Company has estimated the fair value of these illiquid instruments based on internal pricing models subject to the Company’s controls described below.

The Company has various processes and controls in place to ensure that fair value measurements are reasonably estimated. With respect to broker and pricing service quotations, and in order to ensure these quotes represent a reasonable estimate of fair value, the Company’s quarterly procedures include a comparison of such quotations to quotations from different sources, outputs generated from its internal pricing models and transactions completed, as well as on its knowledge and experience of these markets. With respect to fair value estimates generated based on the Company’s internal pricing models, the Company’s management validates the inputs and outputs of the internal pricing models by comparing them to available independent third-party market parameters and models, where available, for reasonableness. The Company believes its valuation methods and the assumptions used are appropriate and consistent with other market participants.

Fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 are sensitive to changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to determine fair value and such changes could result in a significant increase or decrease in the fair value. For the Company’s

DRIVE SHACK INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

JUNE 30, 2021

(dollars in tables in thousands, except share data)

investments in real estate securities categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the significant unobservable inputs include the discount rates, assumptions relating to prepayments, default rates and loss severities.

Significant Unobservable Inputs

The following table provides quantitative information regarding the significant unobservable inputs used by the Company for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021:


					Significant Inputs
Asset Type	Amortized Cost Basis		Fair Value		Discount Rate		Prepayment Speed		Cumulative Default Rate		Loss Severity
ABS - Non-Agency RMBS	$	2,014	$	3,341	10.0	%	7.5	%	2.7	%	65.0	%

All of the inputs used have some degree of market observability, based on the Company’s knowledge of the market, relationships with market participants, and use of common market data sources. Collateral prepayment, default and loss severity projections are in the form of “curves” or “vectors” that vary for each monthly collateral cash flow projection. Methods used to develop these projections vary by asset class but conform to industry conventions. The Company uses assumptions that generate its best estimate of future cash flows of each respective security.

Real estate securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs changed during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as follows:


	ABS - Non-Agency RMBS
Balance at December 31, 2020	$	3,223
Total gains (losses) (A)
Included in other comprehensive income (loss)	(142)
Amortization included in interest income	272
Purchases, sales and repayments (A)
Proceeds	(12)
Balance at June 30, 2021	$	3,341

(A) There were no purchases, sales or transfers into or out of Level 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Liabilities for Which Fair Value is Only Disclosed

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Contingencies - The Company is and may become, from time to time, involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of business, including governmental and administrative investigations, inquiries and proceedings concerning employment, labor, environmental, personal injury and other claims. Although management is unable to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any legal action, management believes the ultimate liability arising from such actions, individually and in the aggregate, which existed at June 30, 2021, will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flow. Given the inherent unpredictability of these types of proceedings, however, it is possible that future adverse outcomes could have a material effect on our financial results.

Commitments - As of June 30, 2021, the Company had future payments for additional operating leases that had not yet commenced of $19.0 million. The leases are expected to commence over the next 12 - 24 months with lease terms of approximately 10 to 15 years. These leases are primarily commercial leases for future Puttery venues and the recognition of these leases on our balance sheet generally occurs when the Company takes possession of the underlying property.

Preferred Dividends in Arrears - As of June 30, 2021, $5.6 million of dividends on the Company's cumulative preferred stock were unpaid and in arrears.

14. INCOME TAXES

The Company's income tax provision (benefit) for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company's annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period.

The Company's income tax provision was $0.5 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and $0.5 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible.

The Company maintained a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2021 as management does not believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company and its subsidiaries file United States federal and state income tax returns in various jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2021, the Company is not subject to examination by the IRS for the years prior to 2017 and is currently under examination in Idaho for open tax years 2017 and later.

At December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021, the Company reported a total liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $1.2 million. The Company does not anticipate any significant increases or decreases to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months.

On March 11, 2021 the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was signed into law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The new law contains certain tax credits for businesses and changes to tax rules for the allocation of interest expense. The legislation does not have a material impact on the Company's tax positions.

15. (GAIN) LOSS ON LEASE TERMINATIONS AND IMPAIRMENT

The following table summarizes the amounts the Company recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
(Gain) Loss on lease terminations	$	(655)	$	(3,125)	$	(655)	$	(3,125)

Other losses	94		—		—		—
Total (Gain) Loss on lease terminations and impairment	$	(561)	$	(3,125)	$	2,648	$	(2,333)

(Gain) Loss on lease terminations -

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a gain of $0.7 million on the termination of one traditional golf course lease. The gain related to the derecognition of long-lived, intangible, and ROU assets and membership deposit liability balances.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a gain of $3.1 million on the termination of two traditional golf course leases. The gains related to the derecognition of long-lived, intangible, and ROU assets and membership deposit liability balances.

Held-for-use impairment -

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded impairment charges of $3.3 million related to right-of-use and other lease related assets of our former headquarters office in New York given the relocation of the Company’s headquarters to Dallas, TX. This includes impairment of leasehold improvements of $0.1 million, furniture fixtures, and equipment of $0.6 million, and ROU assets of $2.3 million. The Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of these assets using the income approach based on future assumptions of cash flows. The development of discounted cash flow models used to estimate the fair value of the asset groups required the application of significant judgement in determining market participant assumptions, including the projected sublease income over the remaining lease terms, expected downtime prior to the commencement of future subleases, expected lease incentives offered to future tenants, and discount rates that reflected the level of risk associated with these future cash flows. As the fair value inputs utilized are unobservable, the Company determined that the significant inputs used to value these properties fall within Level 3 for fair value reporting.

Other losses -

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded other losses totaling $0.1 million on retirement of other traditional golf assets.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 12, 2021, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement among the Company and Symphony Ventures, a partnership organized under the laws of Ireland, pursuant to which Symphony Ventures committed to invest $10.0 million in Puttery. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement, the Company will sell to Symphony Ventures 10% of the partnership interests in each of the wholly owned subsidiary limited partnerships, which we refer to as “SLPs”, formed by the Company to hold each of the Company’s Puttery venues, in exchange for an amount in cash equal to 10% of the total cost to build the Puttery venue owned by such SLP. Symphony Ventures’ purchase price in each such SLP will be applied to satisfy the commitment. In connection with each investment in an SLP, Symphony Ventures will receive the option to purchase partnership interests representing an additional 10% of the partnership interests in such SLP, at a purchase price equal to the original purchase price, exercisable within the first year following each investment. The Commitment expires

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Drive Shack Inc., which is referred to, together with its subsidiaries as Drive Shack Inc. or the Company. The following should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto and with Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this report and Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

GENERAL

Business Overview

Drive Shack Inc. a Maryland corporation, was formed in 2002 and its common stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “DS.” The Company owns and operates golf-related leisure and social entertainment venues and courses focused on bringing people together through competitive socializing, by combining sports and entertainment with elevated F&B offerings.

The Company conducts its business through an integrated portfolio spanning three brands, Drive Shack, American Golf, and Puttery. Drive Shack, which launched in 2018, owns and operates four entertainment golf venues featuring tech-enabled hitting bays with in-bay dining, full-service restaurants, bars, and event spaces. American Golf, the longest-running business in our portfolio, owns, leases, and manages 56 traditional golf properties spanning nine states throughout the United States. Puttery, the Company's newest competitive socializing and entertainment platform, is a smaller venue format featuring indoor technology-enabled indoor putting courses, F&B offerings, multiple bars, lounges, and VIP spaces. The Company expects to launch its first Puttery venue in summer 2021.

Operating Segments

•Entertainment Golf | Drive Shack and Puttery

Drive Shack offers competitive, social entertainment through its golf-related leisure and large-format entertainment venues with gaming and premier golf technology, a chef-inspired menu, craft cocktails, and engaging social events throughout the year. Each Drive Shack venue features expansive, climate-controlled, suite style bays with lounge seating; augmented-reality golf games and virtual course play; a restaurant and multiple bars; an outdoor patio with lawn games; and arcade games.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company operated four Drive Shack venues located in Orlando, Florida; West Palm Beach, Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina; and Richmond, Virginia. Additionally, the Company is committed to leases in New Orleans, Louisiana and in Manhattan (Randall’s Island), New York for Drive Shack venues. Drive Shack venues are freestanding, 60,000 square feet, open-air venues built on approximately 12 acres.

This segment also includes the Company's newest entertainment golf brand, Puttery, which is currently under development with the first venue in Dallas, TX expected to debut in summer 2021, and its second venue in Charlotte, NC expected to open in Q4 2021. Refer to New Venue Development and Growth section for additional information on Puttery.

•Traditional Golf | American Golf

American Golf, acquired by the Company in December 2013, is one of the largest operators of golf properties in the United States. As an owner, lessee, and manager of golf courses and country clubs for over 45 years, we believe American Golf is one of the most experienced operators in the traditional golf industry. As of June 30, 2021, we owned, leased or managed 56 properties across nine states. American Golf is focused on delivering lasting experiences for our guests, with over 35,000 members and over 1.2 million rounds played at our properties during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Our traditional golf operations are organized into three principal categories due to the nature of the revenue streams generated by the following properties: (1) public properties (all leased), (2) private properties (leased and owned) and (3) managed properties (public and private).

Public Properties. Our 30 leased public properties generate revenues principally through daily green fees, golf cart rentals and food, beverage and merchandise sales. Amenities at these properties generally include practice facilities, pro shops and F&B facilities. In some locations, our public properties have larger clubhouses with extensive banquet

facilities. In addition, The Players Club is a fee-based, monthly membership program offered at most of our public properties, with membership benefits ranging from daily range access and off-peak course access to the ability to participate in golf clinics.

Private Properties. On May 5, 2021, the SeaCliff Country Club lease expired, reducing the total number of private leased or owned courses from 5 to 4. Our 4 leased or owned private properties, which are open to members and their guests, generate revenues principally through initiation fees, membership dues, food, beverage and merchandise sales, and guest fees. Amenities at these properties typically include practice facilities, full-service clubhouses with a pro shop, locker room facilities and multiple F&B outlets, including grills, restaurants and banquet facilities.

Managed Properties. Following the close of business on March 31, 2021, management agreements expired for the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club, Tustin Ranch Golf Club, and Yorba Linda Country Club, reducing the total number of courses managed in our traditional golf business from 25 to 22. Our 22 managed properties are operated by American Golf pursuant to management agreements with the owners of each property. We recognize revenue from each of these properties in an amount equal to a management fee and the reimbursements of certain operating costs.

New Venue Development and Growth | Puttery

We believe Drive Shack Inc. is the only company comprised of a truly integrated portfolio of both Entertainment and Traditional Golf businesses, which provides us with a unique opportunity to unlock top site locations by leveraging the operational experiences and municipal relationships developed by our traditional golf business. The Company strives to forward innovate and revolutionize next generation experiences. In 2021, the Company expects to launch its newest competitive indoor socializing and entertainment platform called "Puttery."

Puttery is expected to expand our business by diversifying our experiential offerings with a modern spin on indoor putting through auto-scoring technology that presents digital scores to guests in real-time. Each location will feature a series of tech-enabled putting courses anchored by bars and other social spaces that will serve to create engaging and fun experiences for our guests.

Our Puttery venues require much less space, approximately 15,000 - 20,000 sq.ft. of indoor new or existing retail space. The new indoor venue format expands store potential by hundreds of markets due to the vast availability of real estate, shorter development timelines, less capital risk and higher development yields. Advanced data and demographic analytics will allow us to strategically evaluate and develop a robust pipeline of target sites in prioritized markets across the United States. As we look to further grow our Puttery brand, the smaller format offers us the opportunity to improve investment returns and take advantage of the vast availability of retail space at a potential discount.

The Company is committed to seven Puttery venues open, in development or in leasing by the end of 2021. The Company has announced its first five venues in Dallas, Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina; Washington DC; Miami, Florida and Houston, Texas. Dallas is expected to open in August 2021 and Charlotte is projected to open in Q4 2021. Washington DC is projected to open in Q1 2022; Miami and Houston are projected to open in Q3 of 2023. Two additional locations are currently in or nearing lease execution.

Notable Operational Results

Mandatory business closures and "stay-at-home orders” have pushed us to reimagine the way we operate across critical aspects of our business. We remain focused on our core fundamentals, seeking opportunities to drive operational efficiencies and continuous improvement while providing an outstanding guest experience.

During the second quarter, our Drive Shack venues generated total revenue of $11.6 million, while operating under capacity limitations at our hitting bays and limited bar service. Our traditional golf properties generated revenue of $62.3 million, while subject to some lingering operational restrictions.

Golf continues to emerge as one of the top outdoor activities naturally conducive to social distancing practices. Our traditional golf properties produced strong results during the six months ended June 30, 2021, highlighting the unwavering demand for the sport. Restrictions on large gatherings are no longer in effect in the primary jurisdictions in which we operate. As such we are experiencing the return of events, banquets and other large gatherings which has led to increased sales of food and beverages.

COVID-19 Update

In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic declared by the World Health Organization in March 2020, many states and localities in which we operate issued “stay at home” or “shelter in place” orders and other social distancing measures, in addition to mandatory store closures, capacity limitations and other restrictions affecting our operations. As a result, during March 2020, we temporarily closed all of our entertainment golf venues and substantially all of our traditional golf properties.

Subsequent to our closures, the gradual easing of restrictions has permitted us to safely and responsibly resume operations at both our entertainment golf venues and our traditional golf properties. Subject to locally mandated COVID-19 capacity and other limitations, all of our traditional golf properties and three of our four Drive Shack venues were safely and responsibly reopened by the end of the second quarter 2020. The fourth Drive Shack venue was reopened at the end of the fourth quarter of 2020. As of June 30, 2021, all of our entertainment golf venues and traditional golf properties were fully open and operating.

Our top priority remains protecting the health and safety of our employees and guests while continuing to provide a safe, fun and comfortable setting for our guests to socialize and engage in physical activities. Our entertainment golf venues and traditional golf properties are currently operating with restrictive and precautionary measures in place, including enhanced cleaning and sanitization protocols, capacity limitations in our suite style hitting bays (varying by location), social distancing measures and certain restrictions on bar and dining services (also varying by location). As an additional protective measure, the Company installed new protective dividers in between the suite style hitting bays at its entertainment golf venues. Restrictions on large group gatherings were placed in effect in the majority of the jurisdictions in which we operate, which resulted in the postponement or cancellation of a substantial number of tournaments, banquets and other large gatherings. Although the Company continues to take necessary precautions, as of June 30, 2021 coronavirus related restrictions have been lifted in all of the states in which we operate.

As government lockdown orders have eased, we believe many Americans have been eagerly seeking a return to a sense of normalcy, and craving activities and socialization that can be enjoyed safely. Golf has emerged as one of the top activities that meet these criteria and that can offer valuable physical and mental respite during these unprecedented times. This has been evident by the continued demand for tee times at our traditional golf properties since reopening, with utilization of tee time inventory up over the prior year. Engagement in golf has strengthened across an expanded base of participants ranging from the core golfers, to lapsed golfers making their return, and families and new participants of all ages.

The Company provides two different avenues for our guests to get outdoors and safely engage in the sport of golf with our entertainment golf venues and traditional golf properties. The outdoor open-air layout of our entertainment golf venues, with defined suite style hitting bays (partitioned by new protective dividers), and the outdoor wide-open nature of our traditional golf courses provide the ideal setting for guests to connect with friends while enjoying physical activity and maintaining social distancing. Both offerings naturally limit guest overlap and, combined with enhanced safety protocols, provide a safe and comfortable setting for guests to socialize. We believe these factors to be key differentiators that will provide the Company with a competitive advantage within the leisure and entertainment industry for years to come.

We have experienced strong demand for golf at both our traditional golf courses and entertainment golf venues, and now our food, beverage and event sales, which were more severely impacted by the coronavirus related restrictions is also experiencing greater demand and returning to pre-pandemic levels . We continue to seek opportunities to drive operational efficiencies and implement aggressive cost reduction and cash preservations measures to maintain and protect the financial health of the Company.

Given the continuing dynamic nature and fluidity of the pandemic, we cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future. The extent of the ultimate impact will depend on the future developments that are uncertain and unpredictable, including actions to contain or mitigate its impact, the timing of economic recovery, and consumer behaviors, preferences and discretionary spending, among others.

CARES Act

On March 27, 2020, Congress enacted the CARES Act to provide certain relief in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures. Among the various provisions in the CARES Act, the Company is utilizing the payroll tax deferrals offered as it continues to evaluate the applicability of other benefits.

Revenues from Golf Operations

Revenues from Golf Operations comprise principally: (1) daily green fees, golf cart rentals, and The Player's Club membership dues at American Golf’s public properties, (2) initiation fees, membership dues and guest fees at American Golf’s private properties, (3) management fees and reimbursed operating expenses at American Golf’s managed courses and (4) bay play at Drive Shack locations.

Given the discretionary nature of our products, trends in consumer spending will impact our revenue from Golf Operations on a quarter-by-quarter basis and, particularly in traditional golf as an outdoor activity, and seasonal weather patterns have a significant impact.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources and Uses of Capital

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents on hand which resulted primarily from our February 2021 equity offering and the October 2020 sale of one our Traditional Golf properties. The Company raised net proceeds of $54.6 million, after the underwriters discount of $2.9 million, through a common equity offering that closed in February 2021. Other expenses related to the offering totaled $0.6 million. In October 2020 we closed on the sale of our Rancho San Joaquin property resulting in net cash proceeds of $33.6 million. The proceeds generated by these transactions are being reinvested in our Entertainment Golf business and used to pay overhead expenses.

As of June 30, 2021, we had $81.4 million of cash and cash equivalents.

Our primary cash needs are capital expenditures for opening new Drive Shack and Puttery venues and for general corporate purposes.

The Company’s growth strategy is capital intensive and our ability to execute is dependent upon many factors, including the current and future operating performance of our Entertainment Golf venues and Traditional Golf properties, the pace of expansion, real estate markets, site locations, our ability to raise financing and the nature of the arrangements negotiated with landlords. Based upon current levels of operations and anticipated growth, we expect that cash flows from operations, combined with other financing alternatives in place or available, and further combined with the asset sales, as discussed below, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future.

As of June 30, 2021, we are actively exploring the capital markets to meet our medium and long-term liquidity requirements to fund planned growth, including new venue development and construction, product innovation and general corporate needs. Our financial objectives include diversifying our financing sources, optimizing the mix and maturity of new debt financings, public or private equity issuances and strategically monetizing our remaining real estate securities and other investments. We continually monitor market conditions for these financing and capital opportunities and, at any given time, may enter into or pursue one or more of the transactions described above. However, we cannot ensure that capital will be available on reasonable terms, if at all.

For a further discussion of risks that could affect our liquidity, access to capital resources and our capital obligations, see Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this document.

Summary of Cash Flows

The following table and discussion summarize our key cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:

Financing activities	50,283		(2,771)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash, noncurrent	$	34,612	$	(16,085)

Operating Activities

Cash flows used in operating activities consist primarily of net losses adjusted for certain items including depreciation and amortization of assets, amortization of prepaid golf member dues, impairment losses, other gains and losses from the sale of assets, stock-based compensation expense, and the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Changes in operating cash flow activities are described below:

•Operating cash flows increased due to the following:

◦$8.6 million in net operating cash flows generated from the Entertainment Golf venues;

◦$1.3 million in net operating cash flows generated from Traditional Golf operations;

◦$0.8 million reduction in corporate payroll primarily due to reductions in headcount;

◦$0.4 million reduction in interest payments associated with the junior subordinated notes due to a lower coupon rate.

•Operating cash flows decreased due to the following:

◦$3.6 million primarily due to additional general and administrative payments;

◦$2.7 million in payment of annual bonuses in 2021 that were earned in 2020.

Investing Activities

Cash flows provided by investing activities primarily relate to proceeds from the sales of traditional golf properties, and cash flows used in investing activities primarily consist of capital expenditures for the construction and development of Entertainment Golf venues and renovations of existing facilities.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in or provided by financing activities consist primarily of cash from the borrowing or repayment of debt obligations, deposits received on golf memberships, payment of preferred dividends, and the issuance of common stock.

Financing activities provided $50.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and used $2.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to $53.9 million of net proceeds from our equity raise that was completed on February 2, 2021.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, credit spreads, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. We substantially exited our real estate related debt positions, which significantly reduced our market risk exposure related to interest rate risk, credit spread risk and credit risk. We are also exposed to inflationary factors in our business.

There have been no material changes to our exposure to market risks as described in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
