Golf Trust of America, Inc. (the “Company”) is in the process of seeking to sell the Westin Innisbrook Golf Resort (the “Resort”) and the Company’s other remaining golf assets in connection with its shareholder-approved Plan of Liquidation.  As a result of the difficulty involved in assembling the relevant financial data to include in the Company’s financial statements and uncertainty regarding certain contractual obligations of the Company and their impact on the Company’s net assets available in liquidation, the Company is unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 prior to its deadline without unreasonable effort or expense.
