NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

MARCH 31, 2022

(Dollars in tables in thousands, except share data)

Note 1. ORGANIZATION

Drive Shack Inc., which is referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as Drive Shack or the Company, is an owner and operator of golf-related leisure and entertainment venues focused on bringing people together through competitive socializing. The Company, a Maryland corporation, was formed in 2002, and its common stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “DS.”

The Company conducts its business through the following segments: (i) entertainment golf, (ii) traditional golf and (iii) corporate. For a further discussion of the reportable segments, see Note 4.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company's entertainment golf segment was comprised of six owned or leased entertainment golf venues across four states with locations in Orlando, Florida; West Palm Beach, Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina; Richmond, Virginia; The Colony, Texas; and Charlotte, North Carolina.

The Company’s traditional golf segment is one of the largest operators of traditional golf properties in the United States. As of March 31, 2022, the Company owned, leased or managed fifty-five (55) traditional golf properties across nine states.

The corporate segment consists primarily of securities and other investments and executive management.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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”).

Many jurisdictions in which we operate have previously imposed capacity limitations and other restrictions affecting our operations. The extended length of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related government response may continue to cause prolonged periods of various operational restrictions and capacity limitations impacting future business operations. In addition, the duration and intensity of the pandemic may result in changes in customer behaviors or preferences. These may lead to increased asset recovery and valuation risks, such as impairment of long-lived and other assets. The extent to which COVID-19 continues to impact our business will depend on future developments, which remain highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including additional actions taken by various governmental bodies and private enterprises to contain COVID-19 or mitigate its impact, among others.

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The portions of equity in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented as noncontrolling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. 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, 2021 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 18, 2022. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

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.

Seasonality – Seasonality can affect our results of operations. Our traditional golf business is subject to seasonal fluctuations as colder temperatures and shorter days reduce the demand for outdoor activities. As a result, the traditional golf business

DRIVE SHACK INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

MARCH 31, 2022

(Dollars in tables in thousands, except share data)

generates a disproportionate share of its annual revenue in the second and third quarters of each year. In addition, our Drive Shack and Puttery venues could be significantly impacted on a season-to-season basis, based on corporate event and social gathering volumes during holiday seasons and school vacation schedules. For this reason, a quarter-to-quarter comparison may not be a good indicator of our current and/or future performance.

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 the balance sheet with the Right of Use (“ROU”) assets in "Operating lease right-of-use assets" and lease liabilities are recognized in "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 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.

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.

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

Restricted cash, noncurrent	216		798
Total Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash and Restricted cash, noncurrent	$	48,269	$	62,564

Accounts Receivable, Net — Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.9 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 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.

Membership Deposit Liabilities - Initiation fees are non-refundable and recorded as revenue over the expected seven year life of an active membership. Until 2021, private country club members generally paid an advance initiation deposit upon their acceptance as a member to the respective country club that is refundable 30 years after the date of acceptance as a member. The difference between the initiation 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. The present value of the refund obligation is recorded as a membership deposit liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and accretes over a 30-year nonrefundable term using the effective interest method. This accretion is recorded as interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In 2002 American Golf Corporation ("AGC"), when it was owned by a previous owner, entered into a Restated Membership Deposit Assumption Agreement, with two trusts established by a previous owner of AGC (the “Trusts”) under which the Trusts agreed to unconditionally assume the obligations of AGC to refund certain membership deposit liabilities ("MDLs") in exchange for shares in AGC. The MDLs assumed were refundable 30 years from the date of acceptance of the member with the first liabilities assumed by the Trusts becoming refundable in 2020. The total redemption value of membership deposit liabilities assumed by the Trusts was $181.9 million. No asset was recorded at the time of our acquisition of AGC in recognition of this assumption agreement for the $181.9 million of liabilities assumed by the Trusts for the following reasons. 1) the substantial time period between the assumption of the liabilities and the first liabilities becoming refundable; 2) the inability of AGC to verify and monitor the assets of the Trusts to ensure the ability to perform under the terms of the assumption agreements; 3) the fact that the Trusts are not required to maintain any assets that would support such performance; 4) the Trust settlors were not required contractually to fund the Trusts; and 5) The Company does not have the ability to determine the likelihood that the Trusts will meet their obligations. In the event the Trusts are not able to fulfill their obligations, the Company would be responsible for refunding the outstanding balance of the MDL and therefore, recognizes these MDLs on its balance sheet. Though the Trusts initially assumed $181.9 million of MDLs the balance of related MDLs carried on the books of AGC, as of March 31, 2022, has been reduced to an undiscounted nominal value of $115 million through various assignments to third parties and partial membership refunds due to membership transfers. To-date, the Trust has met all of their obligations that have come due for which the Trust assumed responsibility under the Restated Membership Deposit Assumption Agreement. As of March 31, 2022 the Trusts had refunded a total of approximately $0.3 million of MDLs, all of which they were obligated to pay under the terms of the assumption agreements.

Note 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.

Note 4. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company currently has three reportable segments: (i) entertainment golf, (ii) traditional golf and (iii) corporate. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for each segment is the chief executive officer and president, who reviews discrete financial information for each reportable segment to manage the Company, including resource allocation and performance assessment.

The Company's entertainment golf segment, launched in 2018, is comprised of Drive Shack venues that feature tech-enabled hitting bays with in-bay dining, full-service restaurants, bars, and event spaces and Puttery venues that feature indoor putting courses anchored by bars and other social spaces as well as a full-service kitchen that serve to create engaging and fun experiences for guests. As of March 31, 2022, the Company owned or leased four Drive Shack venues across three states which are located in Orlando, Florida; West Palm Beach, Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina; and Richmond, Virginia, and leased two Puttery venues located in The Colony, Texas and Charlotte, North Carolina.

The Company's traditional golf segment is one of the largest operators of golf courses and country clubs in the United States. As of March 31, 2022, the Company owned, leased or managed 55 traditional golf properties across nine states.

The corporate segment consists primarily of investments in loans and securities, interest income on short-term investments, general and administrative expenses as a public company, interest expense on the junior subordinated notes payable (Note 8) and income tax expense (Note 14).

Note 6. LEASES

The Company's commitments under lease arrangements are primarily leases for entertainment golf venues and traditional golf properties and related facilities, office leases and leases for golf carts and equipment.

Note 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 March 31, 2022:


	March 31, 2022					December 31, 2021
	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Fair Value Method (A)	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
Assets
Real estate securities, available-for-sale	$	3,655	$	3,655	Pricing models - Level 3	$	3,486	$	3,486
Cash and cash equivalents	44,068		44,068			58,286		58,286
Restricted cash, current and noncurrent	4,201		4,201			4,278		4,278
Liabilities
Junior subordinated notes payable	$	51,172	$	29,956	Pricing models - Level 3	51,174		$	27,625

(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

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.

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 those of 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 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 March 31, 2022:


					Weighted Average Significant Input
Asset Type	Amortized Cost Basis		Fair Value		Discount Rate		Prepayment Speed		Cumulative Default Rate		Loss Severity
ABS - Non-Agency RMBS	$	2,492	$	3,655	11.0	%	7.5	%	2.6	%	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 three months ended March 31, 2022 as follows:


	ABS - Non-Agency RMBS
Balance at December 31, 2021	$	3,486
Total gains (losses) (A)	—

Amortization included in interest income	174

Proceeds	(5)
Balance at March 31, 2022	$	3,655

(A)None of the gains (losses) recorded in earnings during the period is attributable to the change in unrealized gains (losses) relating to Level 3 assets still held at the reporting date. There were no purchases or sales during the three months ended March 31, 2022. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Liabilities for Which Fair Value is Only Disclosed

Note 11. EQUITY AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per Share

The Company is required to present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). The following table shows the amounts used in computing basic and diluted EPS:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share:
Loss from continuing operations after preferred dividends	$	(20,361)	$	(12,299)

Denominator for basic earnings per share - weighted average shares	92,254,084		82,558,881
Effect of dilutive securities
Options	—		—
RSUs	—		—
Denominator for diluted earnings per share - adjusted weighted average shares	92,254,084		82,558,881

Basic earnings per share:
Loss from continuing operations per share of common stock after preferred dividends	$	(0.22)	$	(0.15)
Loss Applicable to Common Stock, per share	$	(0.22)	$	(0.15)

Diluted earnings per share:
Loss from continuing operations per share of common stock after preferred dividends	$	(0.22)	$	(0.15)
Loss Applicable to Common Stock, per share	$	(0.22)	$	(0.15)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the additional dilutive effect of dilutive securities during each period. The Company’s dilutive securities are its options and RSUs. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, based on the treasury stock method, the Company had 50,724 and 881,911 potentially dilutive securities, respectively, which were excluded due to the Company's loss position. Net loss applicable to common stockholders is equal to net loss less preferred dividends.

Noncontrolling Interest

On July 12, 2021, the Company entered into an investment agreement among the Company and Symphony Ventures, which we refer to as Symphony, a company organized under the laws of Ireland, in which the Company agreed to sell to Symphony 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’s purchase price in each such SLP will be fully committed on the date the certificate of occupancy for the Puttery venue is received, up to a total commitment of $10 million. We control through a wholly owned subsidiary all general partnership interests and 90% of the limited partnership interests in the SLP, thus retaining all rights, powers and authority that govern the partnership and, as a result, we consolidate the financial results of this SLP, and report the noncontrolling interest representing the economic interest in the SLP held by Symphony. Currently the Company and Symphony are party to two SLPs, for the Puttery location in The Colony, Texas and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Note 15. IMPAIRMENT

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


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
Loss on lease terminations	$	35	$	—
Impairment on corporate office assets (held-for-use)	—		3,209

Impairment on entertainment golf properties	12,854		—

Other gains	(18)		—
Total loss on impairment	$	12,871	$	3,209

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded impairment charges of $11.3 million related to construction in progress assets for its Drive Shack New Orleans venue. The assets consist primarily of a partially constructed, unfinished building and parking lot. The Company has determined that it will not restart construction of the venue and will seek to either terminate the underlying ground lease or seek a subtenant for the site. 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded impairment charges of $1.6 million related to certain assets acquired for our Puttery venues in Charlotte, North Carolina; Miami, Florida; and Washington, DC. The assets consisted of gameplay tracking cameras and supporting hardware and software for our venues. The Company has determined that it will not utilize the devices and they will therefore not be installed. The Company is unable to recover the cost of the devices and the impairment charge represents the full value of the equipment.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded impairment charges of $3.2 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 included impairment of leasehold improvements of $0.3 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.

Note 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

GENERAL

Business Overview

The Company is an owner and operator of golf-related leisure and entertainment venues focused on bringing people together through competitive socializing.

The Company conducts its business through two primary operating segments:

•Entertainment golf | Drive Shack and Puttery

Our entertainment golf business is primarily focused on competitive socializing within the leisure and social entertainment industry, combining chef-inspired food and beverage offerings, with innovative technology modernizing ways to experience golf as a sport and form of entertainment that appeals to a broad range of audiences and competitive appetites.

We opened our first Drive Shack venue in Orlando, Florida in April 2018, which largely served as our research and development and testing venue. During the second half of 2019, we opened three Generation 2.0 Drive Shack venues in Raleigh, North Carolina; Richmond, Virginia and West Palm Beach, Florida.

Additionally, the Company is committed to a lease in Manhattan (Randall’s Island), New York for a Drive Shack entertainment golf venues.

The Company launched its first Puttery venue in September 2021 in The Colony, Texas and its second venue in Charlotte, North Carolina in mid-December 2021 and as of March 31, 2022, the Company operated these two leased Puttery venues. The Company is committed to eight additional Puttery leases for venues in Washington, DC, Miami, Houston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Pittsburgh, New York City (Manhattan), and Kansas City. Puttery venues are indoor venues typically located in urban and suburban dining and entertainment districts.

•Traditional golf | American Golf

nine states with over 37,000 members and over 780,694 rounds played at our properties during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Growth Strategy

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 September 2021, the Company launched Puttery, its newest competitive indoor socializing and entertainment platform.

We expect Puttery to expand our business by diversifying our experiential offerings with an adult-focused modern spin on putting through innovative technology featuring a series of indoor 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 than a Drive Shack venue at approximately 15,000 - 20,000 square feet of indoor new or existing retail space. Puttery 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. We believe that 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 favorable rates.

As we build our brand through the existing operation of Drive Shack locations and new Puttery locations, we continue to strengthen our position in this growing industry. We believe there is significant opportunity to capture market share given the industry disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic and the structural decline of dated businesses, coupled with the rising demand for social and interactive entertainment options. We have strategically aligned our Drive Shack and Puttery businesses to provide competitive, social and interactive experiences to capitalize on this unique and timely opportunity, as we feel other entertainment concepts in our industry have failed to address the shift in consumer preferences. There are a variety of consumers who seek out active socializing options. We will use data and testing to understand unique drivers, test consumer behaviors, and understand spending habits, seeking to optimize the most effective way to target, acquire, and retain consumers.

In addition to our first two Puttery locations in The Colony and Charlotte, we currently have executed lease agreements with landlords to develop additional locations in Washington, DC, Miami, Chicago, Houston, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York City (Manhattan), and Kansas City. We continuously analyze the performance of our first two locations and adjustments will be made, if necessary, to further refine our operational and financial models as we expand our Puttery national footprint. We plan to open seven locations during 2022 and expect to end the year with a total of nine Puttery venues in operation.

Notable Operational Results

During the first quarter, our traditional golf properties generated revenue of $55.1 million, our Drive Shack venues generated revenue of $9.8 million, and our newest brand, Puttery, generated revenue of $4.4 million.

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 and game play at Drive Shack and Puttery 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.


	Three Months Ended						Increase (Decrease)
(dollar amounts in thousands)	March 31, 2022			March 31, 2021			Amount		%
Golf operations	$	55,284		$	53,161		$	2,123	4.0	%
Percentage of total revenue	80.1		%	87.0		%

Revenues from golf operations increased by $2.1 million primarily due to a $3.2 million increase in entertainment venues and a decrease of $1.0 million as compared to the prior period. Increased event and bay play at our entertainment venues and the full operation during the quarter of our Puttery locations in The Colony, Texas and Charlotte, North Carolina. Traditional golf decreased during the same period due to less venues as compared to prior period.

Sales of Food and Beverages


	Three Months Ended						Increase (Decrease)
(dollar amounts in thousands)	March 31, 2022			March 31, 2021			Amount		%
Sales of food and beverages	$	13,698		$	7,930		$	5,768	72.7	%
Percentage of total revenue	19.9		%	13.0		%

Sales of food and beverages increased by $5.8 million, due to a $2.8 million increase in traditional golf, and a $2.9 million increase in entertainment golf. The increase in traditional golf was primarily due to the return of tournament and large group event-related revenues as COVID-19 related restrictions were lifted. Entertainment golf increased due primarily to the recent opening of Puttery locations in The Colony, Texas and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist of course and venue level payroll and payroll-related (including hourly and salary wages, bonuses and commissions, health benefits, and payroll taxes), occupancy (including rent, property tax, and common area maintenance), and other course and venue level operating expenses (including utilities, repair and maintenance, and marketing), excluding pre-opening costs, which are recorded separately. Operating expenses also include course level operating costs for our traditional golf managed courses, for which we are reimbursed.

Operating expenses	$	55,139		$	48,870		$	6,269	12.8	%
Percentage of total revenue	79.9		%	80.0		%

Operating expenses increased by $6.3 million, primarily due to a $3.9 million increase in traditional golf, and a $3.1 million increase in entertainment golf. The increase was primarily due to increases in payroll and payroll related expenses as venues and events continue to ramp up this year with COVID-19 restrictions lifting as compared to the prior period.

Cost of Sales - Food and Beverages


	Three Months Ended						Increase (Decrease)
(dollar amounts in thousands)	March 31, 2022			March 31, 2021			Amount		%

Percentage of total revenue	4.9		%	3.4		%

Cost of sales - food and beverages increased by $1.3 million directionally in-line with corresponding increase in food and beverage sales in traditional golf and entertainment golf. This increase was mainly driven by higher traffic at our venues due to lifted COVID restrictions as compared to the prior period.

General and Administrative Expense (including Acquisition and Transaction Expense)

General and administrative expense consists of costs associated with our corporate support and administrative functions that support development and operations and includes stock-based compensation.


	Three Months Ended						Increase (Decrease)

General and administrative expense	$	9,063		$	7,982		$	1,081	13.5	%
Percentage of total revenue	13.1		%	13.1		%

General and administrative expense increased by $1.1 million consisting of a $0.3 million decrease in traditional golf resulting from a reduction of payroll expenses, a $1.3 million increase in entertainment golf, and a $0.7 million decrease at corporate. The increases are due primarily to higher payroll and payroll-related expenses compared to reduced headcounts during the pandemic, while the decrease at corporate is primarily driven by a reversal of $0.9 million in stock compensation expense.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization consists of depreciation on property and equipment and financing lease assets, as well as amortization of intangible assets.

(dollar amounts in thousands)	March 31, 2022			March 31, 2021			Amount		%

Percentage of total revenue	9.0		%	10.2		%

Depreciation and amortization decreased by $(0.1) million primarily due to the disposition of the SeaCliff golf club in May 2021 and Tilden golf club in December 2021 while offsetting with an increase due to the additions in the Puttery locations in The Colony, Texas and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Pre-Opening Costs

Pre-opening costs consist primarily of venue-related lease expenses, employee payroll, marketing expenses, travel and related expenses, training costs, food, beverage and other operating expenses incurred prior to opening an entertainment golf venue.

Total revenues

The increase in total entertainment golf revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was due to the addition of two Puttery venues in the The Colony, Texas and Charlotte, North Carolina and the return of events and customers as the venues reopened following pandemic closures.

Operating loss

The increase in operating loss during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was mainly due to impairment charges of $11.3 million related to construction in progress assets for the Drive Shack New Orleans venue and $1.6 million of impairment charges related to Puttery equipment.

Operating loss

The decrease in operating loss during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to the $3.3 million impairment of corporate assets located at our New York, NY office.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity are our current balances of cash and cash equivalents.

As of March 31, 2022, we had $44.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, including $18.5 million of cash from the traditional golf business.

Our primary cash needs are capital expenditures for opening new Drive Shack and Puttery entertainment golf 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 March 31, 2022, we continue to actively explore the capital markets to meet our medium-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 and debt 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.

Summary of Cash Flows

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


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
Net cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	(2,462)	$	(7,556)
Investing activities	(8,183)		(6,542)
Financing activities	(3,650)		52,848
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash, noncurrent	$	(14,295)	$	38,750

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 $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Changes in operating cash flow activities are described below:

•Operating cash flows increased due to the following:

◦$8.0 million in net operating cash flows generated from traditional golf operations;

◦$1.5 million in net operating cash flows generated from the entertainment golf venues;

•Operating cash flows decreased due to the following:

◦$1.6 million increase in corporate payroll primarily due to increases in headcount;

◦$2.7 million primarily due to additional general and administrative payments;

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.

Investing activities used $8.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $6.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Capital Expenditures. Our capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $8.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

We expect our capital expenditures over the next 12 months to range between $70 and $80 million, depending on the Company's ability to obtain additional financing, which includes developing new Drive Shack and Puttery venues and remodeling and maintaining 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 $3.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and used $52.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 . The decrease was primarily due to $53.9 million of net proceeds from our equity raise that was completed on February 2, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There have been no significant changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had all of the material contractual obligations referred to in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $21.6 million and $21.4 million, respectively related to these two leases are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

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”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses.

Actual results could differ from these estimates and materially impact our Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. See Note 2 in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” for additional information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There were no recent accounting pronouncements that had an impact during the current period.

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, 2021.
