NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

SEPTEMBER 30, 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 September 30, 2022, the Company's entertainment golf segment was comprised of eight owned or leased entertainment golf venues across four states and the District of Columbia with locations in Orlando, Florida; West Palm Beach, Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina; Richmond, Virginia; The Colony, Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina; Washington, D.C; and Houston, Texas.

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.

Going Concern — The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

However, our business is dependent upon obtaining substantial funding from various sources. We generated a net loss in the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, and, as previously disclosed, in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, and the first and second fiscal quarters of 2022. We do not anticipate that our operational and development cash requirements will be met through current liquidity and internally generated cash flows. Although we have historically depended on external financing sources at this stage in our growth plan, a variety of recent factors, including macroeconomic and geopolitical events such as inflation, rising interest rates and violent conflict in Ukraine, caused financing conditions in the United States to deteriorate in the second quarter and we believe this deterioration accelerated in the third quarter as rates rose. Relatedly, worsening macro-economic conditions make it less likely that the Company will succeed in any effort to sell, finance or otherwise monetize assets at a sufficient value to generate liquidity, since potential buyers may be cash constrained, face increased costs due to supply chain issues and face difficulty in pursuing financing sources. In light of our liquidity position and these recently worsening financial conditions in the United States, management has concluded that there is a substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern over the next 12 months.

Specifically, the Company’s current liquidity, including primarily cash and cash equivalents, is not sufficient to fund operations without additional sources of liquidity over the next 12 months. Therefore, the ability of the Company to continue operations is dependent on the degree of success of management’s plans to manage existing cash balances and to obtain additional financing to fund its short-term liquidity requirements. In order to manage existing cash balances, management intends to continue to reduce expenditures broadly across all aspects of its business.

it will need to obtain external financing sources notwithstanding the negative conditions afflicting debt markets and other sources of potential liquidity.

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/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 18, 2022. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A 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 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 believes that it 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:

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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2022 the Trusts had refunded a total of approximately $0.5 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.

The Company’s revenue is primarily generated within the entertainment golf and traditional golf segments. The following tables disaggregate revenue by category: entertainment golf venues, public golf properties, private golf properties (owned and leased), managed golf properties, and Corporate other income.

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 September 30, 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 four Puttery venues located in The Colony, Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina; Washington, D.C.; and Houston, Texas.

The Company's traditional golf segment is one of the largest operators of golf courses and country clubs in the United States. As of September 30, 2022, the Company owned, leased or managed 53 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 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 September 30, 2022:


	September 30, 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	$	2,041	$	2,041	Pricing models - Level 3	$	3,486	$	3,486
Cash and cash equivalents	11,655		11,655			58,286		58,286
Restricted cash, current and noncurrent	4,564		4,564			4,278		4,278
Liabilities
Junior subordinated notes payable	$	51,169	$	35,307	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 September 30, 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	$	2,875	$	2,041	12.0	%	7.5	%	2.6	%	55.0	%

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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 as follows:


	ABS - Non-Agency RMBS
Balance at December 31, 2021	$	3,486
Total gains (losses) (A)
Included in other comprehensive income (loss)	(1,997)
Amortization included in interest income	566
Purchases, sales and repayments (A)	(14)

Balance at September 30, 2022	$	2,041

(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 nine months ended September 30, 2022. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Liabilities for Which Fair Value is Only Disclosed

The following table summarizes the level of the fair value hierarchy, valuation techniques and inputs used for estimating each class of liabilities not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which fair value is 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 September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Denominator for diluted earnings per share - adjusted weighted average shares	92,385,019		92,085,846		92,339,823		88,938,344

Basic earnings per share:
Loss from continuing operations per share of common stock after preferred dividends	$	(0.09)	$	(0.11)	$	(0.43)	$	(0.29)
Loss Applicable to Common Stock, per share	$	(0.09)	$	(0.11)	$	(0.43)	$	(0.29)

Diluted earnings per share:
Loss from continuing operations per share of common stock after preferred dividends	$	(0.09)	$	(0.11)	$	(0.43)	$	(0.29)
Loss Applicable to Common Stock, per share	$	(0.09)	$	(0.11)	$	(0.43)	$	(0.29)

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. Based on the treasury stock method, the Company had 96,172 and 82,685 potentially dilutive securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and 329,724 and 584,360 potentially dilutive securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, 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 four SLPs, for the Puttery locations in The Colony, Texas, Charlotte, North Carolina, Washington, D.C., and Houston, Texas.

Tax Benefits Preservation Plan

On May 17, 2022, Drive Shack Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan (the “Plan”) with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent (the “Rights Agent”), and the disinterested members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company declared a dividend distribution of one right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 27, 2022 (the “Record Date”). Each Right is governed by the terms of the Plan and entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one one-thousandth of a share (a “Unit”) of Series E Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series E Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $7.50 per Unit, subject to adjustment (the “Purchase Price”). The Plan is intended to help protect the Company’s ability to use its tax net operating losses and certain other tax assets (“Tax Benefits”) by deterring an “ownership change” as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (the “Code”).

At September 30, 2022, the former Manager, through its affiliates, and principals of the former Manager, owned 9.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock and had options relating to an additional 3.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock (Note 11).

Note 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation - 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 September 30, 2022, 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.

Environmental Costs — As a commercial real estate owner, the Company is subject to potential environmental costs. At September 30, 2022, management of the Company is not aware of any environmental concerns that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Surety Bonds — The Company is required to maintain bonds under certain third-party agreements, as requested by certain utility providers, and under the rules and regulations of licensing authorities and other governmental agencies. The Company had bonds outstanding of approximately $0.3 million as of September 30, 2022.

Month-to-Month Leases — The traditional golf segment has four month-to-month property leases which are cancellable by the parties with 30 days written notice. The traditional golf segment also has various month-to-month operating leases for carts and equipment. Lease expense is recorded in short-term lease cost as disclosed in Note 6.

Membership Deposit Liability — In the traditional golf business, until 2021 private country club members generally paid an advance initiation deposit upon their acceptance as a member to the respective country club. Initiation deposits are refundable 30 years after the date of acceptance as a member. As of September 30, 2022, the total nominal value of initiation fee deposits was approximately $248.1 million with annual maturities through 2051.

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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2022 the Trusts had refunded a total of approximately $0.5 million of MDLs under the terms of the assumption agreements.

Note 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 $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively and $0.6 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

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 recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022 as management does not believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Note 15. IMPAIRMENT

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


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
(Gain) loss on lease terminations	10		324		2,205		(652)
Loss on corporate office assets (held-for-use)	—		—		—		3,303
Impairment on traditional golf properties (held-for-sale)	—		—		—		—
Impairment on traditional golf properties (held-for-use)	985		—		967		—
Impairment on entertainment golf properties	323		—		13,178		—

Other (gains) loss	—		—		—		321
Total loss on impairment	$	1,318	$	324	$	16,350	$	2,972

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded impairment charges of $11.3 million related to construction in progress assets for its Drive Shack New Orleans venue as the Company determined that it will not restart construction of the venue. The assets consist primarily of a partially constructed, unfinished building and parking lot. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a termination agreement to terminate the underlying ground lease for the site and recorded a $2.2 million loss on lease terminations. The Company also recorded impairment charges of $0.3 million related to assets for its Puttery location in Philadelphia during the third quarter. 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. In addition, the Company also recorded impairment charges of $1.0 million related to one of its traditional golf courses, Dyker Beach during the third quarter. The Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of these assets using the income approach based on future assumptions of 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. .

During the nine months ended September 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 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.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded impairment charges of $0.3 million related to assets for its Puttery location in Philadelphia. In addition, the Company also recorded impairment charges of $1.0 million related to one of its traditional golf courses, Dyker Beach.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded other losses totaling $0.3 million on retirement of

other traditional golf assets.

Note 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Lease Termination - In October, the Company entered into a termination agreement with the landlord of the Puttery location in Philadelphia, PA. Pursuant to this agreement, the lease to which the Company was committed to, will be terminated without any penalty or termination fees owed to the landlord.

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 venue.

The Company launched its first Puttery venue in September 2021 in The Colony, Texas, its second venue in Charlotte, North Carolina in mid-December 2021, its third location in Washington D.C. in June 2022, and its fourth location in Houston, Texas in September 2022 and as of September 30, 2022, the Company operated these four leased Puttery venues. The Company is committed to seven additional Puttery leases for venues in Miami, Chicago, Pittsburgh, New York City (Manhattan), Kansas City, Philadelphia, and Minneapolis. Puttery venues are indoor venues typically located in urban and suburban dining and entertainment districts. On November 4, 2022, we opened our fifth Puttery location, in Chicago.

•Traditional golf | American Golf

The Company’s traditional golf segment is one of the largest operators of traditional golf properties in the United States. As of September 30, 2022, the Company owned, leased or managed fifty-three (53) traditional golf properties across nine states with over 42,215 members and over 2,574,683 rounds played at our properties during the nine months ended September 30, 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 confirm support 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 four Puttery locations in The Colony, Charlotte, Washington D.C., and Houston, we currently have executed lease agreements with landlords to develop additional locations in Miami, Chicago, Pittsburgh, New York City (Manhattan), and Kansas City. We continuously analyze the performance of our first four locations and adjustments will be made, if necessary, to further refine our operational and financial models as we expand our Puttery national footprint. We have opened three Puttery locations during 2022 and expect to end the year with a total of five Puttery venues in operation.

Notable Operational Results

During the third quarter, our traditional golf properties generated revenue of $71.8 million, our Drive Shack venues generated revenue of $10.1 million, and our newest brand, Puttery, generated revenue of $6.6 million.

Revenues from Golf Operations

Revenues from golf operations comprise principally of: (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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

As of September 30, 2022, we had $11.7 million of cash and cash equivalents. Our primary cash needs are capital expenditures for opening new Drive Shack and Puttery entertainment golf venues, preferred dividends, capital lease obligations and for general corporate purposes.

The Company’s current liquidity, including primarily cash and cash equivalents, is not sufficient to fund operations without additional sources of liquidity over the next 12 months. The ability of the Company to continue operations is dependent on the degree of success of management's plans to manage existing cash balances and to obtain additional financing to fund its short-term liquidity requirements. In order to manage existing cash balances, management intends to continue to reduce expenditures broadly across all aspects of its business. However, external sources of liquidity, including through debt financing, asset sales or alternative measures, would be requisite to mitigating the going concern, since even if the Company is able to appropriately manage its cash balances, its existing liquidity would not be sufficient to maintain ongoing operations for the next 12 months. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such additional funds will be available on acceptable 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” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We could be subject to a shortfall in liquidity in the future, and this shortfall may occur rapidly and with little or no notice, which would limit our ability to address the shortfall on a timely basis.

The Company’s growth strategy to develop future entertainment golf venues, including new Puttery venues and Drive Shack Manhattan/Randall's Island, is capital intensive, and ability to execute and fund planned growth 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.

As of September 30, 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, strategically monetizing our remaining real estate securities and the potential for asset sales. 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.

Summary of Cash Flows

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


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021
Net cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	11,911	$	(7,870)
Investing activities	(47,936)		(22,251)
Financing activities	(10,320)		47,306
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash, noncurrent	$	(46,345)	$	17,185

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 $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Changes in operating cash flow activities are described below:

•Operating cash flows increased due to the following:

◦$18.1 million in net operating cash flows generated from traditional golf operations;

◦$0.2 million in net operating cash flows used in the entertainment golf venues.

•Operating cash flows decreased due to the following:

◦$3.2 million decrease in corporate payroll primarily due to decreases in headcount;

◦$3.5 million primarily due to less general and administrative payments.

Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities primarily relate to insurance proceeds for property loss, 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.

Net cash used in investing activities was $47.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and $22.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Capital Expenditures. Our capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $51.0 million and $22.3 million, respectively.

We expect our capital expenditures over the next 12 months to range between $50 and $60 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 used $10.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and provided $47.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. 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 nine months ended September 30, 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. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company commenced two new leases for entertainment golf venues. Right-of-use assets of $5.4 million and lease liabilities of $5.5 million related to the leases are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company commenced five new leases for entertainment golf venues. Right-of-use assets of $30.8 million and lease liabilities of $32.0 million related to these leases are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 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 Management's Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations of 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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and completely. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2022, because the material weakness discussed below under “Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” that existed as of December 31, 2021, had not been remediated by the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and the Company’s remediation efforts are described below. Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this filing present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2022. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).

Based on our assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting included a material weakness related to the design and operating effectiveness of the Company's internal controls associated with the identification of impairment indicators and the evaluation of properties identified as potentially subject to impairments. This material weakness had not been fully remediated by the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company's internal controls did not:

a.Detect the lack of inclusion of right-of-use assets or management contracts (intangible assets) in the carrying value of courses for which an impairment indicator was identified.

b.Consider the remaining lease term of each course when assessing the sufficiency of projected future undiscounted cash flows to recover the course’s net asset value.

c.Appropriately review budgetary information by course for use in evaluating the potential presence of impairment indicators.

Remediation Considerations Related to Material Weakness

With respect to the material weakness related to the design and operating effectiveness of the Company's internal controls associated with long-lived asset impairments, management plans to take a number of actions, including, but not limited to, implementing additional controls over the identification of potential impairment indicators, the determination of the appropriate

carrying values for assets subject to impairment, and over the evaluation of the assumptions used in determining any potential long-lived asset impairments.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information required by this Item is incorporated by reference to Part I, Item 1, Note 15: Commitments and Contingencies-Legal Contingencies.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following discussion supplements the discussion of risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Our financial statements contain a statement regarding a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, were prepared on the assumption that we would continue as a going concern. Management has determined that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months. We do not anticipate that our operational and development cash requirements will be met through current liquidity and internally generated cash flows. Although we have historically depended on external financing sources at this stage in our growth plan, a variety of recent factors, including macroeconomic and geopolitical events such as inflation, rising interest rates and violent conflict in Ukraine, caused financing conditions in the United States to deteriorate in the second quarter and we believe this deterioration accelerated in the third quarter as rates rose. Relatedly, worsening financial conditions make it less likely that the Company will be successful in any effort to sell, finance or otherwise monetize assets to generate liquidity, since potential buyers may be cash constrained, face increased costs due to supply chain issues and face difficulty in pursuing financing sources.

The Company’s current liquidity, including primarily cash and cash equivalents, is not sufficient to fund operations without additional sources of liquidity over the next 12 months. Therefore, the ability of the Company to continue operations is dependent on the degree of success of management’s plans to manage existing cash balances and to obtain additional financing to fund its short-term liquidity requirements. In order to manage existing cash balances, management intends to continue to reduce expenditures broadly across all aspects of its business. In order to mitigate the going concern, management expects that it will need to obtain external financing sources notwithstanding the negative conditions afflicting debt markets and other sources of potential liquidity. There can be no assurances that such liquidity can be obtained on favorable terms or at all.

We are not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, and, as a result, shares of our common stock may be delisted from the NYSE.

On October 5, 2022, we received written notification from the NYSE that we are not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the average closing price of our common stock was less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. Pursuant to Section 802.01C, we can regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement if, on the last trading-day of any calendar month, our common stock has a closing share price, and a 30 trading-day average closing share price, of at least $1.00. If we do not regain compliance by April 5, 2023, NYSE may commence suspension and delisting procedures with respect to our common stock. If shares of our common stock are delisted from the NYSE, there may be no public market for our common shares. Any over-the-counter or other public market that does develop would likely be characterized by decreased liquidity and greater volatility, which may materially and adversely affect the value of our common shares. We notified NYSE on October 19, 2022, that we intend to cure the continued listing standard deficiency and to return to compliance with Section 802.01C. However, our common stock share price may not meet the applicable requirements during the cure period ending on April 5, 2023 and there can be no assurances that further options to cure the deficiency considered that we may consider can or will be effectuated as an alternative to proceeding to delisting.

We have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and our inability to remediate this weakness or otherwise implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, or the inability of our independent registered public accounting firm to provide an unqualified report thereon, could have a material adverse effect on us.

As a public company, we are required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which require management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of controls over financial reporting.

The annual assessment for fiscal year 2021 resulted in the identification of a material weakness that existed as of December 31, 2021, regarding controls over our long-lived asset impairment analysis.

This material weakness could, among other things, adversely impact our ability to provide timely and accurate financial information or result in a misstatement of the account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. The material weakness is described in greater detail in “Item 9A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures.”

A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We cannot assure you that we will adequately remediate the material weakness or that additional material weaknesses in our internal controls will not be identified in the future. Any failure to maintain or implement required new or improved controls or any difficulties we encounter in their implementation could result in additional material weaknesses or could result in material misstatements in our financial statements.

We are in the process of remediating the identified material weakness in our internal controls, but we are unable at this time to estimate when the remediation effort will be completed. During the course of implementing additional processes and controls or testing the operating effectiveness of that control, we may identify additional control deficiencies, which could give rise to other material weaknesses, in addition to the material weakness described above. As we continue to evaluate and improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may need to take additional measures to address material weaknesses or to modify certain of the remediation measures. It may be difficult or costly to remediate the material weaknesses, and we may be required to add new personnel with tailored skill sets. If we fail to remediate our material weaknesses, there will continue to be an increased risk that our future financial statements could contain errors that will be undetected. The existence of a material weakness could result in errors in our financial statements which could require a restatement of financial statements, cause us to fail to timely meet our reporting obligations, lead to a loss of investor confidence, have a negative impact on the trading price of our common stock, or cause us to incur substantial incremental costs.

Our Tax Benefits Preservation Plan could inhibit a change in our control that may otherwise be favorable to our stockholders.

In May 2022, our board of directors adopted a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan in an effort to protect against a possible limitation on our ability to use our net operating losses and net capital loss carryforwards by discouraging investors from acquiring ownership of our common stock in a manner that could trigger an “ownership change” for purposes of Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Under the terms of the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan, in general, if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock without prior approval of our board of directors or without meeting certain exceptions (an “Acquiring Person”), the rights would become exercisable and our stockholders (other than the Acquiring Person) will have the right to purchase securities from us at a discount to such securities’ fair market value, thus causing substantial dilution to the Acquiring Person. As a result, the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan may reduce the volume of trading in our stock because it limits the ability of persons or entities from acquiring a significant percentage of our outstanding stock, have the effect of inhibiting or impeding a change in control not approved by our board of directors and, notwithstanding its purpose, could adversely affect our stockholders’ ability to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price for our common stock in connection with such a transaction. In addition, because our board of directors may consent to certain transactions, the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan gives our board of directors significant discretion over whether a potential acquirer’s efforts to acquire a large interest in us will be successful. There can be no assurance that the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan will prevent an “ownership change” within the meaning of Sections 382 and 383 of the Code, in which case we may lose all or most of the anticipated tax benefits associated with our prior losses.
