EXPERIENCE

     Paradigm's principal team members have worked together for the past 12 years, developing, acquiring, marketing and managing successful golf facilities throughout the United States.

     The company's proven track record, experience and performance in all aspects of financial feasibility analysis, property acquisition and subsequent installation of its operations management, marketing systems and training procedures provide it with the ingredients necessary to produce significant returns to the company's investment partners.

     Over the past 10 years, Paradigm's principals have developed a template for efficient and accurate feasibility analysis of real property and related business operations. The Paradigm management team's reputation for timely acquisition and exit accomplishments is well known in the golf industry and it enjoys broad networking capability derived from recognition as an industry leader. This is augmented by relationships with owner operators, major financial institutions, golf industry professionals, trade and service suppliers, specialty brokers, engineers, land planners, appraisers, attorneys and national accounting firms.

Paradigm's in-depth experience with both large upscale and small neighborhood golf facilities, including complex property acquisitions and financing transactions, enables it to quickly recognize, evaluate, and capitalize on opportunities in the marketplace.

The following is a listing of the company's successful golf acquisitions and management completions:

• Cimarron Golf Resort
• Western Skies Golf Club
• Woodhaven Country Club
• Ridgemark Golf & Country Club
• Palm Beach National Golf& Country Club
  

     The company has owned and/or operated these full service golf facilities since 2004. The purchased clubs were all acquired in seller-distressed transactions including Trustee Sales and direct purchases from underlying lenders at below market basis. After purchase of these golf facilities, the Company completed approximately $3.8 million of well-placed, strategic capital improvements and enhancements. The properties currently enjoy pristine conditions and are absent any significant deferred asset or maintenance issues. Year-to-year stabilized operations are efficiently and successfully managed and marketed by the company's Paradigm Golf Management affiliate (“PGM”).

     Currently, PGM managed operations generate annual net operating income of $2.9 million. In the year prior to Paradigm's purchase or management, these clubs produced a combined $900,000 of operating losses. The clubs will collectively continue to produce net operating income growth of 6 – 10% as they achieve full stabilization.  In addition, Paradigm maintains a thriving consulting business throughout the United States where it is retained by third-party owners to troubleshoot marketing and operational deficiencies and to design, implement and execute tailored strategies resulting in financial growth and overall success.
