      -  Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, amortization and
       other of $12,015,000 increased 37.9% from $8,715,000 in 2000.

      -  Golf Club operating revenue of $28,207,000 increased 14.0% from

       to $9,139,000 from $7,675,000 in 2000. On a same Golf Club
       basis, ClubLink realized a 6.0% increase in operating revenue
       and a 11.8% increase in club contribution from its Member
       Clubs. On its Daily Fee Clubs, ClubLink realized a 14.1%
       increase in operating revenue and a 25.1% increase in club
       contribution. Both Member and Daily Fee Clubs benefited from a
       reduction in same club labour of 1.2% and 1.1% respectively,
       offset by significant property tax increases of 182.0% and
       87.3% respectively.

      -  Resort Operations recorded a $210,000 loss compared to loss of
       $160,000 in 2000.

      -  Corporate and unallocated costs were $4,430,000 loss compared
       to $4,453,000 in 2000.

Management Discussion and Analysis for the 6 months ended July 1,
2001

      -  ClubLink has two reportable segments: Golf Club operations
       (including the Muskoka Golf Clubs) and Resort operations. The
       Golf Club operations segment represents all aspects of
       operating golf courses including annual dues, guest, green and
       cart fees, merchandise and food and beverage revenue (except
       food and beverage at Golf Clubs in Muskoka). On January 8,
       2001, Delta Hotels and Resorts Limited assumed operating
       management of the non-golf aspects of ClubLink's resort
       operations. The Resort operations segment represents all
       aspects of operating Delta Muskoka Resorts, including rooms,
       food and beverage and nature programs (but exclude golf). All
       other operations, including membership fees, marketing and
       membership sales, general and administrative, corporate
       amortization and taxes are included under Corporate &
       Unallocated.

Review of Golf Club Operations

      -  Golf Club operating revenue of $33,309,000 increased 14.1% from
       $29,203,000 in 2000. Net income from Golf Clubs increased 22.7%
       to $7,895,000 from $6,433,000 in 2000. This increase was
       primarily generated by annual dues from active golf members who
       joined since July 2, 2000 and the addition of Rocky Crest,
       King's Riding and Greenhills at the beginning of the 2000
       season. On a same Golf Club basis, ClubLink realized a 6.6%
       increase in operating revenue and a 22.0% increase in club
       contribution from its Member Clubs. On its Daily Fee Clubs,
       ClubLink realized a 10.0% increase in operating revenue and a
       30.3% increase in club contribution. Both Member and Daily Fee
       Clubs benefited from a reduction in same club labour of 3.3%
       and 5.5% respectively, offset by significant property tax
       increases of 44.3% and 35.4% respectively.

      -  Operating expenses include 6 months of costs at Rocky Crest and
       King's Riding Golf Clubs, which opened for play on May 31, 2000
       and Greenhills Golf Club, acquired in the first quarter of
       2000.

      -  Amortization of capital assets increased 19.8% to $3,427,000
       from $2,861,000 for the same period in 2000 principally due to
       a full period of amortization for Rocky Crest, King's Riding,
       and Greenhills Golf Clubs.

      -  Commencing July 2, 2001, operating income will include The Mark
       O Meara Course at Grandview in Muskoka, Ontario, Le Maitre at
       Mont Tremblant, Quebec, and a second 18-hole golf course at Les
       Quatres Domaines in Montreal, Quebec, which opened for play
       during June, 2001.

      -  The existing ClubLink Membership structure was designed eight
       years ago to accommodate only four Golf Clubs in Southern
       Ontario. Due to the greatly expanded range, variety and
       geographic locations of the Golf Clubs, ClubLink redesigned the
       structure to accommodate the existing portfolio of Member Clubs
       as well as planned future growth. The new structure has four
       categories consisting of Prestige, Platinum, Golf and Silver.
       Member Clubs have been grouped into each category on July 9,
       2001 as follows:

Prestige: King Valley and Greystone
Platinum: Emerald Hills, Grandview, Kanata, King's Riding, The Lake
          Joseph Club, Le Maitre, Rocky Crest and Rattlesnake Point
Gold:     Blue Springs, Cherry Downs, DiamondBack and Heron Point
Silver:   Caledon Woods, Greenhills, Predator at GreyHawk and
          Cedarbrook

      -  ClubLink's 27-hole Daily Fee Bolton Golf Club will close at the
       end of the 2001 golf season and is being redesigned by golf
       course architect Paul Takahashi into an 18-hole Member Club.
       This new course will be named Caledon Woods Golf Club. Caledon
       Woods will be a championship layout with bent grass tees,
       greens and fairways. The course routing takes full advantage of
       the natural features of the site including the picturesque
       valley holes, which traverse the Humber River as well as the
       rolling terrain and mature forest of Caledon Hills. ClubLink's
       newest Member Club will also boast a brand new clubhouse, which
       will be sited atop the highest point on the property providing
       stunning views of the area. Caledon Woods is scheduled to open
       June 1, 2003. Memberships were initially priced at $7,500 and
       increased to $8,500 on July 30, 2001. From July 9, 2001, the
       date of the announcement through August 8, 2001, ClubLink has
       sold 493 Caledon Woods memberships representing committed
       membership fees of $3,762,000.

Review of Resort Operations

      -  Operating revenue includes room rental, food and beverage and
       services such as nature programs and recreational activities.
       Resort operations exclude golf operations and include all areas
       covered under Delta's management contract. Operating revenue
       declined 14.3% to $4,315,000 from $5,033,000 in 2000. Net loss
       from Resorts increased to $1,569,000 from $1,067,000 in 2000.

      -  Operating costs have decreased 5.7% to $5,364,000 from
       $5,688,000 through management's efforts to control costs.

      -  Amortization of capital assets increased 26.2% to $520,000 from
       $412,000 primarily due to increased amortization arising from
       Rocky Crest renovations during January to April 2001.

Corporate Revenue and Unallocated Costs
    Membership Revenue

      -  During the 6 months ended July 1, 2001, ClubLink sold 474 new
       memberships with committed membership fees of $9,173,000,
       compared to 360 new memberships and $7,939,000 in 2000. These
       membership sales, net of resignations and category transfers
       increased ClubLink's total active golf Members to 5,285 from
       4,944 at December 31, 2000 and 4,191 at July 2, 2000.

      -  ClubLink recognizes membership fees as revenue upon receipt of
       cash. Membership fee revenue recognized in 2001 increased 17.3%
       to $7,271,000 from $6,200,000 in 2000.

Marketing and Membership Sales

      -  Marketing and membership sales costs decreased 12.7% to
       $2,088,000 from $2,393,000 in 2000. These costs declined to
       4.7% of total revenue for the 6 months ended July 1, 2001
       compared to 5.9% in 2000. Marketing and membership sales costs
       are recorded as incurred, notwithstanding that the benefit of
       certain programs will not be fully realized until subsequent
       periods.

General and Administrative Costs

      -  Gross general and administrative expenses decreased 15.6% to
       $4,235,000 from $5,019,000 in 2000 and capitalized general and
       administrative expenses declined 42.5% to $471,000 from
       $819,000 in 2000. The reduction in gross general and
       administrative expenses is due to management s ongoing program
       to reduce corporate general and administrative costs.

Amortization of deferred charges

      -  Amortization of deferred charges decreased 38.5% to $345,000
       from $561,000 in 2000. The decrease is primarily due to
       deferred Daily Fee golf marketing costs being fully amortized
       in 2000.

Interest Expense

      -  Gross interest expense increased 6.2% to $6,030,000 from
       $5,676,000 in 2000 as a result of higher floating rates on a
       year over year basis. Interest capitalized to development
       projects has declined 24.9% to $1,977,000 from $2,633,000 in
       2000.

Interest Income

      -  Interest income declined 59.5% to $781,000 from $1,929,000.
       This decline results primarily from the repayment of
       approximately Cdn $32,500,000 of GolfSouth loans at the end of
       the first quarter of 2000.

Asset Disposition Program

      -  On May 7, 2001, ClubLink completed the sale of the Delta Glen
       Abbey Conference Centre site for consideration of $7,500,000.
       ClubLink has received $7,250,000 in cash and the remaining
       $250,000 will be received as the remaining contract obligations
       are fulfilled. The Delta Glen Abbey Conference Centre will
       commence construction in September 2001 and is projected to be
       open in May 2003. On June 29, 2001, ClubLink closed the sale of
       the Glen Abbey residential site for $2,169,000. Clublink has
       received $434,000 in cash and taken back a mortgage for
       $1,735,000. The mortgage will be repaid as homes are sold to
       home owners, or on December 31, 2003. Sale proceeds have
       reduced ClubLink's investment in the Glen Abbey Golf Club as
       these sales were contemplated at time of acquisition. All costs
       related to these sales have been capitalized.

      -  On June 29, 2001, ClubLink closed the sale of the Georgetown
       residential site for consideration of $900,000. Clublink has
       received $180,000 in cash and taken back a mortgage for
       $720,000, the mortgage will be repaid as homes are sold to
       homeowners or on June 29, 2006. Sale proceeds from this sale
       has reduced ClubLink's investment in the Georgetown Golf Club
       as it was contemplated at time of acquisition, in addition, all
       costs related to this sale have been capitalized.

      -  On May 31, 2001, ClubLink closed the sale of a Lake Joseph
       Resort Villa. The sale has been recorded at break even.
       ClubLink continues to own 11 Lake Joseph Resort Villas.

      -  ClubLink has executed agreements of purchase and sale for its
       Ferndale and King Haven properties and three Lake Joseph Resort
       Villas. These sales are expected to close during the third and
       fourth quarters of 2001 and the second quarter of 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      -  ClubLink finished the quarter in a strong financial position
       with working capital excluding prepaid annual dues and deposits
       of $12,646,000 plus unutilized lines of credit exceeding
       $20,000,000.

      -  ClubLink's costs to complete properties under construction as
       of July 1, 2001 amounted to $17,382,000. These properties will
       become operational in June 2002 and June 2003. ClubLink's
       capital expenditures for its operating capital assets is
       projected to be $3,400,000 for the remainder of 2001. Capital
       expenditures are expected to be funded by way of cash flow from
       operations, proceeds from the sale of capital assets held for
       sale, capital lease lines of credit and, as necessary,
       $20,000,000 in undrawn credit facilities.

      -  On July 9, 2001 Canada Customs and Revenue Agency ( CCRA ) has
       issued notices of reassessment in respect of the 4 years ended
       December 31, 1997. In dispute is the timing of the recognition
       of initiation fees as revenue for income tax purposes. In
       accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting
       principles, ClubLink recognizes initiation fees as revenue when
       such fees are received and reports its taxable income for
       initiation fees on the same basis. CCRA's position is that
       initiation fees must be recognized as revenue in the year in
       which the membership agreement is entered into on the basis
       that all services have been rendered in respect of the
       membership at that time. ClubLink and its advisors disagree
       with the reassessments and ClubLink intends to file notices of
       objection.

         ClubLink estimates that the aggregate amount payable for the
       period ended December 31, 1997 in respect of taxes that would
       have been paid in future years may be up to $8,700,000 for both
       federal and provincial income taxes. This would require a
       payment to the relevant taxing authorities of not less than
       $4,350,000 on or before October 5, 2001. Pending appeal, this
       amount will be paid from cash on hand. This payment will not
       affect planned capital expenditures. ClubLink has concluded
       that the reassessments will not adversely affect earnings in
       the current year.

      -  ClubLink's objective is to ensure capital resources are readily
       available to meet its committed capital expenditure program and
       to take advantage of favourable acquisition opportunities as
       they arise. The Company's capital availability and demonstrated
       ability to execute transactions gives it a competitive
       advantage in corporate development negotiations. Funds will be
       used during the year to continue the acquisition and
       development of Golf Club projects, capital expenditures at
       operating Golf Clubs and Resorts, to purchase additional
       securities pursuant to its normal course issuer bids and to
       fund ongoing growth in the normal course of business to enhance
       long-term shareholder value.

Investing activities

      -  Cash flow spent on capital assets declined to $27,484,000 from
       $38,758,000 in 2000. This decrease is primarily related to the
       acquisition of Greenhills Golf Club in the first quarter of
       2000 and a reduced golf course development program. During the
       6 months ended July 1, 2001 ClubLink closed the sale of surplus
       assets valued at $11,087,000 compared to $2,125,000 in 2000.

      -  During the 6 months ended July 1, 2001, capital expenditures on
       properties under construction amounted to $17,178,000. These
       expenditures primarily related to Grandview and Le Maitre Golf
       Clubs, which opened for play on in June, 2001, the new 13,600
       square foot DiamondBack Clubhouse, The Predator at GreyHawk
       golf course scheduled to open in June, 2002, and Caledon Woods
       Golf Club, scheduled to open for play in June, 2003. A further
       $8,723,000 was spent on capital expenditures for operating Golf
       Clubs and Resorts and $1,580,000 spent on properties under
       development and held for future development.

      -  Collections of the GolfSouth and other loans receivable
       generated $32,858,000 million during the first quarter of 2000
       which contributed to a 59.5% reduction in interest income on a
       year over year basis.

Seasonality

      -  Due to the seasonal nature of the golf and resort business in
       the markets the Company currently operates, the second and
       third quarters of the fiscal year account for, and are expected
       in the future to account for, a greater portion of the
       Company's revenue and net income than do the first and fourth
       quarters of each fiscal year. This seasonal pattern, as well as
       the timing of new Golf Club openings and acquisitions, may
       cause the Company's revenue and net income to vary
       significantly from quarter to quarter.

 (b) Normal course issuer bid

      During 2000, ClubLink undertook two normal course issuer bids.
Pursuant to the first issuer bid, which expired September 29, 2000,
ClubLink purchased 1,066,820 common shares for a total purchase price
of $6,756,000 or $6.33 per common share. Pursuant to the second issuer
bid, which expires on October 4, 2001, ClubLink purchased 446,575
common shares for a total purchase price of $2,858,000 or $6.40 per
common share in 2000. During the 6 months ended July 1, 2001, pursuant
to the second issuer bid ClubLink purchased a further 403,135 common
shares for a total purchase price of $2,338,000 or $5.80 per common
share.

8. SEGMENTED OPERATIONS

      ClubLink has two reportable segments: Golf Club operations
(including the Muskoka Golf Clubs) and Resort operations. ClubLink's
reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different
services and/or products. They are managed separately because each
segment requires different strategies and involves different aspects
of management expertise.

      The Golf Club operations segment represents all aspects of
operating golf courses including annual dues, guest, green and cart
fees, merchandise and food and beverage revenue (except food and
beverage at Golf Clubs in Muskoka).

      On January 8, 2001, Delta Hotels and Resorts Limited assumed
operating management of the non-golf aspects of ClubLink s resort
operations. The Resort operations segment represents all aspects of
operating Delta Muskoka Resorts, including rooms, food and beverage
and nature programs (but exclude golf).

      All other operations, including membership fees, marketing and
membership sales, general and administrative, corporate amortization,
interest and income taxes are included under Corporate & Unallocated.

      The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Any
inter-segment transfers are recorded at cost.
