INDEPENDENT AUDITORS'REPORT
Board of Directors
Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation
City of Palm Desert, California
We have audited the component unit financial statements of the Palm Desert Recreational Facilities
Corporation, a component unit of the City of Palm Desert, California, as of and for the year ended June
30, 2005, as listed in the accompanying table of contents. These component unit financial statements are
the responsibility of the Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these component unit financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the component unit financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the component unit financial statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
The component unit financial statements referred to above include only the financial activities of the
Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation. Financial activities of other component units that form
the reporting entity are not included.
The management's discussion and analysis is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is
supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied
certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods
of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit
the information and express no opinion on it.
In our opinion, the component unit financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation as of June 30,
2005, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REPORTING THE COMPONENT UNIT AS A WHOLE
The Balance Sheet and the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets:
Our analysis of the Palm Desert Facilities Corporation as a whole begins on page 8. The Corporation
plays a vital role in completing the overall project known as Desert Willow Golf Resort (a municipal golf
course owned by the City of Palm Desert). The Corporation's main function is providing the Food and
Beverage operations at the Desert Willow Clubhouse. The restaurant operation within the environment of
the golf industry is a necessary complement to a round of golf. The main focus of our analysis of the
Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation's operations is the profitability of the food and beverage
activities and tailoring the restaurant to meet the expectation of all golf enthusiasts alike.
What is the outcome for the food & beverage operations for this fiscal year? The Balance Sheet and the
Statement of Revenues, and the Expenses and Changes in Net Assets report information about the
Component Unit as a whole and about its activities. This report along with the financial highlights, noted
above, illustrates the operations and the profitability of the food and beverage activities. These
statements include all assets and liabilities of the Corporation using the accrual basis of accounting.
With the accrual basis of accounting, all of the current year's revenues are recognized when earned
instead of received, and all expenses are recorded when incurred instead of when paid.
These two statements report the Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation's net assets and
changes in net assets. Net assets are the difference between assets and liabilities, which is one way to
measure the Corporation's financial health, or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in
the Corporation's net assets are an indication of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating.
To determine the profitability of the Corporation, consideration should also be given to other non-
financial factors such as the changes in consumer spending as a direct result of the overall economic
indicators, as well as changes in the significant industry factors such as price per golf round and level of
tourism.
THE COMPONENT UNIT AS A WHOLE
The Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation's combined net assets deficit increased by $5,840
from $401,860 to $407,700. For the first three years of operations (1997-2000), the corporation operated
out of a temporary facility; beginning in April 2000 the corporation moved into and began operating from
its permanent restaurant located within the Desert Willow Golf Course Clubhouse. Although the
corporation has continued to recognize a deficit net asset, our analysis indicates an upturn in operations
and predicts a complete turnaround within a few years. Our analysis below focuses on the net assets
(Table 1) and changes in net assets (Table 2) of the Corporation.

The fiscal year end loss of $5,840 increased the deficit in net assets by 1%. The major factor in
contributing to the fiscal year end loss is the rental rate increase of $7,000 per month. The rent was
adjusted by the lessee and approved by the PDRFC Board of Directors effectively July 1, 2004; the
current monthly rent is $15,000. Although the corporation continues to experience a deficit in net assets,
we expect the corporation will began to recognize net profit which will eventually eliminate the deficit;
resulting in a positive net assets.

Component Activities
Total revenue increased from $1,730,533 to $1,902,398, a 10% increase. The main factor involved with
this increase is the fact that Palm Desert Recreation Facilities has continually become more efficient with
operations. This fiscal year was the fifth full year of operations at the Desert Willow Clubhouse. During
this fiscal year the corporation was able to market their banquets and outings based on the previous
years' history. Factors that contributed to the increase are as follows:
• Efficiency in marketing and attracting new business.
• Continued patronage of customers and corporate groups.
• Increased Banquet operations.
0 Consistency in golf rounds played.
As Table 2 above indicates, total expenses increased from $1,660,844 to $1,908,238, a 15% increase.
The major factor in the increase in expenditures was the increased rental rate for the restaurant at the
Desert Willow Clubhouse, which represented $84,000 (33%) of the $247,394 expense increase. The
remaining increase was a normal response to the additional business activities recognized during the
fiscal year. The Gross Profit Margin and the Selling and Administrative Expense Percentage were
consistent with previous years, indicating that the increase in overall expenses correlate with the
increase in business.
CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets/Debt Administration
The Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation does not own or lease any capital assets;
subsequently, there is no debt related to capital assets presented on their financial statement. More
detail is presented in the notes to the Financial Statements.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS
In preparing the budget for 2006, management looked at the following economic factors:
Energy and fuel cost: Although California appears to be past the energy crisis, the repercussions
of increased energy and fuel costs remain. The Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation
has taken measures to reduce energy usage in the high peak period without impacting the
quantity or quality of service.
Prices: The prices for goods and services in the golf industry have remained constant for the last
two years. Many public golf facilities have maintained their marketing strategies and held prices
constant in response to consumer choices. Unlike previous years where the consumer paid the
established prices, with the introduction of several new golf courses and the refurbishing of older
ones, the consumer has many choices. At this point, it appears that the pricing for golf and
amenities has met the current demand; hence, prices are held constant. Nonetheless, the Palm
Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation continues to aggressively market and advertise to
secure their market share in the local golf industry.
National Economy: The golf and hospitality industries rely heavily on a strong national and local
economy. With a strong national economy, the market demand for leisure activities such as golf
and dining is increased; however, in an economic downturn or a slowing of the economy, the
typical trend is for the consumer to reduce their consumption of leisure activities. The current
increases in fuel costs will increase the cost of food and beverage inventory, causing upward
pressure on the prices at the restaurant, resulting in a reduction in sales. The Palm Desert
Recreational Facilities Corporation does not know the extent of the impact that the rising fuel
costs would have on tourism to the Coachella Valley, but since the golf industry relies heavily on
the local tourism industry for their revenue, a downturn in tourism would affect the corporation's
revenue.
The high worker's compensation costs to employers throughout the State of California will
continue to place upward pressure on the cost of providing services and supplies. Although the
corporation recognized a reduction in the overall costs of worker's compensation, it still
represents over 15% of the total payroll costs. There is still some uncertainty on the State's
administrative impact on the overall costs of worker's compensation and how it would affect the
overall costs of services and supplies. The Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation will
continue to observe the effects on their costs and will adjust prices accordingly, if appropriate.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2005
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. General
The Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation (the Corporation) is a Corporation
that provides food and beverage services exclusively to the Desert Willow Golf Resort
(the Golf Resort). The Corporation is a discrete component unit of the City of Palm
Desert (the City) and is reported as an Enterprise Fund in the City's basic financial
statements. The Corporation was incorporated on February 25, 1997.
b. Basis of Accounting
On July 1, 2000, the Corporation adopted the provisions of GASB Statement No. 34
("Statement 34") of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, Basic Financial
Statements - and Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local
Governments. Statement 34 established standards for external financial reporting for all
state and local government entities, which includes a balance sheet, a statement of
revenues, expenses and changes in net assets and a statement of cash flows. It requires
the classification of net assets into three components - invested in capital assets, net of
related debt; restricted; and unrestricted. These classifications are defined as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt - This component of net assets
consists of capital assets, including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated
depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages,
notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or
improvement of those assets. If there are significant unspent related debt
proceeds at year-end, the portion of the debt attributable to the unspent
proceeds are not included in the calculation of invested in capital assets, net of
related debt. Rather, that portion of the debt is included in the same net assets
component as the unspent proceeds.
Restricted - This component of net assets consists of constraints placed on net
asset used through external constraints imposed by creditors (such as through
debt covenants), grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other
governments or constraints imposed by law through constitutional provisions or
enabling legislation.
Unrestricted net assets - This component of net assets consists of net assets that
do not meet the definition of "restricted" or "invested in capital assets, net of
related debt".
The adoption of Statement No. 34 had no effect on the basic financial statements except
for the classification of net assets in accordance with the statement and the reflection of
capital contributions as a change in net assets.

Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The Corporation reports its activities as an enterprise fund, which is used to account for
operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to a private business
enterprise, where the intent of the Corporation is that the costs (including depreciation) of
providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or
recovered primarily through user charges. Revenues and expenses are recognized on
the accrual basis. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they are
earned and expenses are recognized in the period incurred, regardless of when the
related cash flow takes place.
Operating revenues, such as food and beverage sales, result from exchange
transactions associated with the principal activity of the Corporation. Exchange
transactions are those in which each party receiving and gives up essentially equal
values.
The Corporation has elected under GASB Statement No. 20, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other Governmental Activities that Use
Proprietary Fund Accounting, to apply all GASB pronouncements as well as any
applicable pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the
Accounting Principals Board (APB), or any Accounting Research Bulletins (ARB) issued
on or before November 30, 1989, unless they contradict or conflict with GASB
pronouncements.
c. Capital Assets and Depreciation
Capital assets are defined by the Corporation as assets with an initial cost of more than
$500 and an estimated life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical
cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are
recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Machinery and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Machinery and equipment 3-7
As of June 30, 2005, the Corporation did not have any capital assets or related
depreciation expense.
d. Budgets
Kemper Sports Management, Inc., is required to submit to the City an operating budget
containing estimates of all the Corporation expenses for the next operating year,
including expenditures for: a) property operation and maintenance, b) repairs,
replacements and alterations which do not constitute capital improvements, c)
furnishings and equipment and operating inventory, and d) advertising, sale and
business promotion. The budget is required to be reviewed and approved by the City
prior to July 1 of each year.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
e. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Credit Risk
For purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Corporation considers all unrestricted
highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. The carrying value was $294,975 and the deposit value was $289,450.
The City has implemented GASB Statement No. 40, Deposit and Investment Risk
Disclosures. This pronouncement is an amendment to GASB Statement No. 3. GASB
No. 40 establishes and modifies disclosure requirements related to deposit and
investment risks. The information required by GASB Statement No. 40 related to
authorized investments, credit risk, etc., is available in the annual report of the City.
f. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower cost or market (no adjustments were made to reduce
inventory below cost) with cost determined using the Weighted Average Cost Method. At
June 30, 2005, inventory consisted of $26,296 in merchandise for sales of food and
beverages.
g. Leases
Leases, which in substance transfer all of the benefits and risks equivalent to ownership
of the property are classified as capital leases. The related assets and liabilities are
recorded at amounts equal to the lesser of the present value of the minimum lease
payments or the fair value of the leased property at the beginning of the respective
leased terms. Generally, such assets are amortized over their economic lives. Interest
expense relating to the lease liabilities is recorded to effect constant rates of interest
over the terms of the leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases and
related rentals are charged to expense as incurred.
h. Income Tax Status
The Corporation went through the process of obtaining exemption from federal income
and state franchise taxes. Required applications to obtain exempt status from the
Internal Revenue Service and Franchise Board were filed. The application filed with the
Internal Revenue Service was not approved.
i. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principals
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Total revenue increased from $1,730,533 to $1,902,398, a 10% increase. The main factor involved with this
increase is the fact that Palm Desert Recreation Facilities has continually become more efficient with operations.
This fiscal year was the fifth full year of operations at the Desert Willow Clubhouse. During this fiscal year the
corporation was able to market their banquets and outings based on the previous years' history. Factors that
contributed to the increase are as follows:
• Efficiency in marketing and attracting new business.
• Continued patronage of customers and corporate groups.
• Increased Banquet operations.
0 Consistency in golf rounds played.
As Table 2 above indicates, total expenses increased from $1,660,844 to $1,908,238, a 15% increase. The
major factor in the increase in expenditures was the increased rental rate for the restaurant at the Desert Willow
Clubhouse, which represented $84,000 (33%) of the $247,394 expense increase. The remaining increase was a
normal response to the additional business activities recognized during the fiscal year. The Gross Profit Margin
and the Selling and Administrative Expense Percentage were consistent with previous years, indicating that the
increase in overall expenses correlate with the increase in business.
CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION

In preparing the budget for 2006, management looked at the following economic factors:
Energy and fuel cost: Although California appears to be past the energy crisis, the repercussions of
increased energy and fuel costs remain. The Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation has taken
measures to reduce energy usage in the high peak period without impacting the quantity or quality of
service.
Prices: The prices for goods and services in the golf industry have remained constant for the last two
years. Many public golf facilities have maintained their marketing strategies and held prices constant in
response to consumer choices. Unlike previous years where the consumer paid the established prices,
with the introduction of several new golf courses and the refurbishing of older ones, the consumer has
many choices. At this point, it appears that the pricing for golf and amenities has met the current
demand; hence, prices are held constant. Nonetheless, the Palm Desert Recreational Facilities
Corporation continues to aggressively market and advertise to secure their market share in the local golf
industry.
National Economy: The golf and hospitality industries rely heavily on a strong national and local
economy. With a strong national economy, the market demand for leisure activities such as golf and
dining is increased; however, in an economic downturn or a slowing of the economy, the typical trend is
for the consumer to reduce their consumption of leisure activities. The current increases in fuel costs will
increase the cost of food and beverage inventory, causing upward pressure on the prices at the
restaurant, resulting in a reduction in sales. The Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation does
not know the extent of the impact that the rising fuel costs would have on tourism to the Coachella
Valley, but since the golf industry relies heavily on the local tourism industry for their revenue, a
downturn in tourism would affect the corporation's revenue.
The high worker's compensation costs to employers throughout the State of California will continue to
place upward pressure on the cost of providing services and supplies. Although the corporation
recognized a reduction in the overall costs of worker's compensation, it still represents over 15% of the
total payroll costs. There is still some uncertainty on the State's administrative impact on the overall
costs of worker's compensation and how it would affect the overall costs of services and supplies. The
Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation will continue to observe the effects on their costs and
will adjust prices accordingly, if appropriate.
