ote 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant accounting policies followed by New Berlin Hills Golf Course (the “Division”) are listed below:
(a) Green Golf Partners, LLC (the “Company”) is a diversified golf management company with its home
office located in Chicago, Illinois. The New Berlin Golf Course division of Green Golf Partners, LLC
represents the leased operations of the 18-hole public golf course known as New Berlin Hills Golf
Course in the city of New Berlin, Wisconsin. The Division is engaged primarily in the operation of
the golf course with additional facilities for banquets and events that the Division may provide
food and beverage services as well.
(b) Troon acquired Green Golf Partners, LLC on April 30, 2019. Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona,
Troon is the world’s largest golf management company providing services at over 940 locations
around the globe, including managing over 600 golf courses. In addition to golf, Troon specializes in
homeowner association management, private residence clubs, estate management and associated
hospitality venues. Troon’s award-winning food and beverage division operates and manages over
600 restaurants located at golf resorts, private clubs, daily fee golf courses and recreational
facilities.
(c) The Division follows Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842” ) and all subsequent lease related ASUs. This standard
modifies the guidance used by lessors and lessees to account for leasing transactions. The Division
adopted ASU 2016-02 using the optional transition method, which allows for prospective
application of the standard. In addition, the Division elected practical expedients permitted under
the transition guidance permitting the Division to not assess historical lease classification, prior
conclusions related to indirect costs, and whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain
leases. See Note 6 and 7 for additional information regarding the effect on finance leases and
operating leases, respectively.
The Division follows FASB ASU 2014-05 (Topic “853”). This standard specifies that an operating
entity should not account for a service concession agreement as a lease in accordance with Topic
842. See Note 2 for information regarding the agreement that falls within this accounting policy
election.
(d) The Division follows FASB ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all
subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, “Topic 606”). This standard creates a single
framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within the scope of the
standard. The Division’s revenues come from sales to customers for event space, food and
beverage related to events, and other event revenues. The Division enters into contracts initiated
by customers to provide these services under fixed-unit price contracts. The Division’s
performance obligations are generally satisfied upon completion of the event. At that time,
revenues from the contract and deposits are recognized as revenue. It is not typical for contracts
to require significant judgment to determine the transaction price.

N
ote 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(e) Assets and liabilities and income and expense are recognized in these financial statements on the
accrual basis of accounting.
(f) The Division follows FASB ASU 2016-13, Financial instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326):
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . This standard amends the guidance on the
impairment of financial instruments by requiring measurement and recognition of expected credit
losses for financial assets held. The standard did not materially impact net income or cash flows.
Accounts receivable are customer obligations primarily from banquets and event services rendered
in the normal course of business. Management carries its accounts receivable at the amount
expected to be collected.
The Division reviews accounts receivable on a periodic basis to determine if any receivables will
potentially be uncollectible. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are
determined to be uncollectible in an allowance. After all attempts to collect the receivable have
failed, the receivable is written-off against the allowance. Based on the information available, the
Division believes an allowance as of December 31, 2025 is not necessary as historical write-offs
have been immaterial. There were no write-offs or allowance recorded during the year ended
December 31, 2025. In accordance with FASB ASC 606-10-50-11, opening and closing balances of
accounts receivable was $3,112 at January 1, 2025 and $9,521 at December 31, 2025.
(g) All items of assets are shown at net realized value. Additionally, inventory is stated at cost based on
the specific identification method and consists of golf supplies, apparel, food, and beverages.
(h) Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost. The Division capitalizes additions of
property and equipment in excess of $1,000. Depreciation and amortization of property and
equipment is computed using the straight-line method and based upon the estimated useful lives of
the assets. Expenditures for property and equipment and for renewals or betterments which
extend the originally estimated economic life of the assets are capitalized. Expenditures for
maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. When an asset is retired or otherwise disposed
of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is
included in the results of operations.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $65,458 for the year ended December 31, 2025.
(i) For purposes of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
(j) At certain times during the year, Troon maintains cash balances with financial institutions which
may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $250,000.
(k) The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts
and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
(l) Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $1,434 for the year ended
December 31, 2025.

statements were available to be issued.
Note 2: SERVICE CONCESSION AGREEMENT
