Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors

Apple Nine Hospitality, Inc.

Richmond, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the Beaumont, Texas—Residence Inn by Marriott Hotel (the Hotel), as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, partners’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of the Hotel. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Hotel as of December 31, 2007, 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.

BEAUMONT, TEXAS - RESIDENCE INN BY MARRIOTT HOTEL

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements present the financial information of the Beaumont, Texas—Residence Inn by Marriott Hotel property (the Hotel) as of December 31, 2007 and for the year then ended. The Hotel, which is located at 5380 Clearwater Court in Beaumont, Texas, was owned by R. I. Beaumont Property, L. P, a Texas limited partnership throughout the period presented. The partnership entity was formed during 2007. The partnership acquired the Hotel land and began construction on the 133 room Hotel during 2007.

The Hotel was being developed by W. I. Realty I, L. P., an affiliate. At December 31, 2007, the Hotel was under construction and, accordingly, had not opened for business. Hotel construction was completed and the Hotel opened for business on August 21, 2008.

Residence Inn by Marriott Hotels specialize in providing extended stay lodging for business or leisure travelers. While customers may rent rooms for a night, terms of up to a month or longer are available. Economic conditions in the Hotel locality will impact the Hotel’s future revenues and the ability to collect accounts receivable.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Hotel considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity date of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents. At times during the year, the Hotel maintains balances in banks which exceed the federally insured limit. These balances fluctuate during the year and the uninsured portion can vary greatly. Management monitors regularly the financial condition of the banking institutions, along with their balances of cash and cash equivalents and tries to keep the risk to a minimum. At December 31, 2007, the owner had $848,461 in cash in excess of FDIC-insured limits in a single financial institution.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007

 

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (Continued)

 

Investment in Hotel Property—Land and construction in progress are stated at the Owner’s cost. Costs of improvements including interest, financing costs and real estate taxes during the construction period are capitalized. Costs of normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is included in income.

Construction in progress consists of costs incurred to develop the site and construct the Hotel to the time the Hotel is placed in operation.

No depreciation has been recorded to date, since the Hotel has not been placed in operation.

Asset Impairment—Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment based on undiscounted future cash flows, and, if impaired, are carried at fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. No impairment losses have been recorded to date.

Loan Costs—Construction loan costs are capitalized to investment in Hotel property and are depreciated in accordance with the Hotel’s normal depreciation policies. Permanent loan costs are separately classified and amortized straight-line over the term of the permanent financing. At December 31, 2007, permanent financing had not been obtained.

Income Taxes—The Hotel property was owned by a limited partnership throughout the financial statement period. Income and losses of a limited partnership are passed through to the partners and taxed on their individual income tax returns. Accordingly, this financial statement does not reflect an income tax provision.

NOTE 3—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On August 9, 2007, the Owner entered into a 20 year franchise agreement effective as of August 21, 2008, with Marriott International, Inc. to operate as a Residence Inn by Marriott Hotel. The agreement requires the Owner to pay the franchisor monthly royalty and marketing fees totaling five percent and two and one half percent of the Hotel’s gross room revenue, respectively.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007

 

NOTE 3—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS, (Continued)

 

Franchise fees included in the Hotel balance sheet represent a $50,000 payment to a nonaffiliated entity to relinquish their right to operate a Marriott brand Hotel in the area. Marriott International, Inc. waived their customary initial franchise fee.

The Owner agreed to pay development fees of $500,000 to W. I. Realty I, L. P. in connection with development of the Hotel property. Through December 31, 2007, $230,000 was earned and has been included in construction in progress. The balance of $270,000 was earned in 2008.

The balance due to affiliate represents advances from W. I. Realty I, L. P. to fund Hotel property costs. The advances bear interest at ten percent per annum. Through December 31, 2007, $12,728 of interest has been charged on the affiliate advances and is capitalized to investment in Hotel property.

NOTE 4—MORTGAGE LOAN PAYABLE

The Hotel property is encumbered by a $11,029,600 construction loan with Coppermark Bank dated August 31, 2007. Through December 31, 2007, no portion of the loan had been advanced. The loan requires interest only payments at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 1.85% through August 31, 2010. If the Owner chooses to extend the maturity date of the loan through August 31, 2012, monthly payments for the final 24 months will be in an amount sufficient to amortize the loan balance over 300 months with a final balloon payment of the outstanding loan amount due on August 31, 2012.

The loan is secured by a deed of trust to the Hotel real property as well as Hotel personal property and assignment of Hotel rents and leases and by the guarantee of W. I. Realty I, L. P.

NOTE 5—SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On September 1, 2008, the Owner of the Hotel property entered into a contract to sell the Hotel property to an affiliate of Apple Nine Hospitality, Inc for $16,900,000. The sale is anticipated to close in the fall of 2008.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors

Apple Nine Hospitality Ownership, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Santa Clarita Hotels Portfolio, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related combined statements of income and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Hotels’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Santa Clarita Hotels Portfolio, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 8, the investment in the hotels is being sold.

DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006

 

 

 

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

The accompanying combined financial statements present the financial information of the following Hotel properties (the Hotels):

RT Clarita, L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership which was formed on April 24, 2001 for the purpose of acquiring a Residence Inn and a Fairfield Inn by Marriott and operating the hotel under a management agreement with Dimension Development Company, Inc. (the Manager). The hotels are located in Santa Clarita, California.

RT Clarita Two, L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership which was formed on April 24, 2001 for the purpose of acquiring a Hampton Inn by Marriott and operating the hotel under a management agreement with Dimension Development Company, Inc. (the Manager). The hotel is located in Santa Clarita, California.

Personal Assets and Liabilities and Members’ Salaries

In accordance with the generally accepted method of presenting limited liability company and partnership financial statements, the combined financial statements do not include the personal assets and liabilities of the members, including their obligation for income taxes on their distributive shares of the net income of the limited liability company or partnership nor any provision for income tax expense.

The expenses shown in the combined statements of income do not include any salaries to the members.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Hotels consider all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Principles of Combination

The accompanying financial statements of Santa Clarita Hotels Portfolio include the accounts of Hampton Inn, Fairfield Inn and Residence Inn (collectively the Hotels). The Hotels are separate legal entities that share management and common ownership. All significant related balances and transactions have been eliminated in combination.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Hotels maintain their cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Hotels have not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Hotels believe they are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Restricted Funds

The Hotels are required to fund the mortgage holders with sufficient funds to cover property taxes, property insurance and the cost of replacements and renewals to the hotel’s property and improvements. The mortgagor holds these funds in escrow in short-term money market securities on behalf of the hotels until the funds are spent on property taxes, property insurance and capital improvements.

Accounts Receivable

The Hotels report trade receivables at gross amounts due from customers. Because historical losses related to these receivables have been insignificant, management uses the direct write-off method to account for bad debts. On a continuing basis, management analyzes delinquent receivables and, once these receivables are determined to be uncollectible, they are written off through a charge against operations.

Investment in Hotels

The investment in hotels is stated at cost. Interest and property taxes incurred during the construction of the facilities were capitalized and depreciated over the life of the asset. Costs of improvements are capitalized. Costs of normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is included in operations.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives of assets are 40 years for buildings, 20 years for improvements and 5 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

The Hotels account for the valuation of long-lived assets under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the long-lived asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reportable at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. No impairment losses have been recorded to date.

Franchise Fees

Franchise fees are amortized on a straight-line basis which approximates the effective interest method over the term of the agreement commencing on the hotel opening dates.

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Loan Origination Costs

Permanent loan costs are amortized using straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of the respective mortgages.

Income Taxes

No federal or state income taxes are payable by the Hotels, and therefore, no tax provision has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The members are required to include their respective share of the Hotels profits or losses in their individual tax returns. The tax returns, the status of the Hotels as such for tax purposes, and the amount of allocable Hotels income or loss, are subject to examinations by the Internal Revenue Service. If such examinations result in changes with respect to the Hotels status, or in changes to allowable Hotels income or loss, the tax liability of the members would be changed accordingly.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized as earned, which is generally defined as the date upon which a guest occupies a room or consummation of purchases of other hotel services.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing costs are expensed when incurred. These costs represent the expense for franchise advertising and reservation systems under the terms of the hotel management agreement and general and administrative expenses that are directly attributable to advertising and promotion. Sales and marketing expenses totaled $527,064 and $508,866 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Lodging and Sales Taxes

The Hotels collect various taxes from customers and remits these amounts to applicable taxing authorities. The Hotels’ accounting policy is to exclude these taxes from revenues and cost of sales.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2007 and 2006

 

1. General

SCI Allen Hotel, Ltd. (the “Partnership”), a Texas limited partnership, was formed in February 2001 to own and operate a hotel under the franchise of Hilton Hotel. The 150-room Hilton Garden Inn Hotel, (the “Hotel”) located in Allen, Texas, began operations in August 2002.

On August 1, 2008, Apple Nine Hospitality Ownership, Inc., a Virginia corporation, entered into a contract with SCI Allen Hotel, Ltd. to acquire the Hotel.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared for the purpose of enabling Apple Nine Hospitality Ownership, Inc. to comply with certain requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

2. Summary of significant accounting policies and nature of operations

Accounting method

The Partnership prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable represents unbilled hotel guest charges for guests staying at the hotel as of the end of the year and corporate account customer charges from various times throughout the year. The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical activity. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $7,226 and $5,045, respectively.

Advertising costs

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, was $44,459 and $36,597, respectively, which is included in marketing and advertising expense in the accompanying statements of operations.

Allocation

Income, loss and cash flows are allocated in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition.

Concentration of credit risk

The Partnership deposits its cash in financial institutions. At times, the account balances may exceed the institution’s federally insured limits. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies and nature of operations (continued)

 

Deferred charges

Capitalized loan costs are amortized on the straight-line method over the life of the mortgage. The license fee is amortized over the life of the agreement. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, was $24,064 and $24,064, respectively.

Deferred charges, net

   $ 171,845     $ 195,909  
                

Economic concentrations

The Partnership operates one hotel in Allen, Texas. Future operations could be affected by changes in economic or other conditions in that geographical area or by changes in the travel and tourism industry.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Partnership reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in the circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future net undiscounted cash flow expected to be generated and any estimated proceeds from the eventual disposition. If the long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured at the amount the asset exceeds the fair value as determined from an appraisal, discounted cash flows analysis, or other valuation technique. There were no impairment losses recognized during 2007 and 2006.

Income taxes

The Partnership is not taxed directly on its income, rather the respective items of income or expense are reported by the partners on their individual returns; therefore, no provision for income taxes is provided for in these financial statements.

Organizational and start-up costs

Organizational and start-up costs are expensed in the year incurred.

Revenue recognition

For financial reporting, the Partnership recognizes income on the accrual method of accounting. Under this method, revenue is recognized when services are performed. Revenue from advance deposits are deferred and included in income when the services to which they relate are delivered.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Owners

Brothers Hospitality Development, LLC:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Hampton Inn and Suites located in Pueblo, Colorado, owned by Brothers Hospitality Development, LLC (the Hotel), as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of income, owner’s equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Hotel’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Hotel as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

HAMPTON INN AND SUITES, PUEBLO, COLORADO

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2007 and 2006

 

(1) Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

  (a) Nature of Business

Hampton Inn and Suites (the Hotel) is a limited service hotel located in Pueblo, Colorado. The Hotel is owned by Brothers Hospitality Development, LLC (Brothers) and began operations in August 2000.

On October 31, 2008, Brothers sold the Hotel for approximately $8,025,000 to Apple Nine Hospitality Ownership, Inc. (Apple) (see note 6).

 

  (b) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash held in financial institutions, and other highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.

 

  (c) Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Hotel maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Hotel has not experienced any losses in such accounts and the Hotel believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

 

  (d) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are comprised primarily of trade receivables due from hotel guests. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.

 

  (e) Hotel Property and Equipment

Hotel property and equipment is stated at cost. Interest and property taxes incurred during the construction of the facilities are capitalized and are depreciated over the life of the hotel property. Costs of improvements are capitalized. Costs of normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is included in operations.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives of assets are 39 years for buildings, 15 years for improvements and 5 to 7 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment.

 

  (f) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount of fair value less costs to sell.

HAMPTON INN AND SUITES, PUEBLO, COLORADO

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2007 and 2006

 

  (g) Due to Affiliate

Due to affiliate includes advances received by the Hotel from an affiliate of the limited liability company that owned the Hotel. The advances are non-interest bearing and were settled in connection with the sale of the Hotel to Apple on October 31, 2008 (see Notes 5 and 6).

 

  (h) Franchise Fees

Initial franchise fees are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective franchise agreement commencing on the hotel opening date. Amortization expense totaled $3,000 for 2007 and for 2006. Deferred franchise fees, net, amounted to $26,000 and $23,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

  (i) Income Taxes

No federal or state income taxes are payable directly by the Hotel and, therefore, no tax provision has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Hotel’s owner is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. The members of the owner are required to include their respective share of the owner’s profits or losses in their individual tax returns. The tax returns, the status of the owner for tax purposes, and the amount of allocable income or loss from the Hotel, are subject to examinations by the Internal Revenue Service and if examinations result in changes with respect to the owner’s tax status, or in changes to allowable income or loss from the Hotel, the tax liability of the owner’s or the hotel could be changed accordingly.

 

  (j) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized as earned, which is generally defined as the date upon which a guest occupies a room or consummation of purchases of other hotel services. Additionally, the Hotel collect sales, use, occupancy and similar taxes from guests, which are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues), on the statements of income.

 

  (k) Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing costs are expensed when incurred. These costs represent the expense for franchise advertising and reservation systems under the terms of the hotel management agreement and general and administrative expenses that are directly attributable to advertising and promotion.

 

  (l) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The presentation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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.

(3) Mortgage Payable

During 1999 Brothers Hospitality Development, LLC began construction on the Hampton Inn and Suites. At this time Brothers Hospitality entered into a note agreement in the amount of $5.1 million to finance the construction costs. The note was subsequently modified in September 2003 to combine the Hampton Inn note and a note payable with a related party into one note agreement. In accordance with the arrangement, 90% of the total outstanding debt is allocated to Hampton Inn and Suites. The note is secured by land, building and improvements of the hotel and is due on October 1, 2011 at a fixed interest rate of 6.5%. At December 31, 2007 and 2006 the estimated value of long-term debt approximates fair value.

The consolidated balance of the mortgage payable at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $3,781,480 and $3,974,246, respectively. At December 31, 2007 and 2006 the allocated balance to the hotel was $3,424,661 and $3,593,116. In connection with the sale of the Hotel to Apple in November 2008, the balance of the mortgage payable was settled (see Note 6).

 

(4) Franchise Agreement

The Hotel is subject to a franchise agreement with Promus Hotels, Inc., a subsidiary of Hilton Hotels Corporation, under which the Hotel agrees to use the franchisor’s trademark, standards of service (cleanliness, management, and advertising) and construction quality and design. The agreement, dated July 10, 1998, covers an initial term of 15 years with varying renewal terms. The agreement provides for payment of base royalty fees, marketing fees, and reservation system fees, which is calculated monthly as 8% of gross rental revenues. Franchise royalty fees of $166,529 and $121,433 were incurred in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

(5) Related Parties

The Hotel has various transactions with another hotel that shares common management. At December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively the Hotel had a payable balance with the other hotel in the amount of $117,279 and $391,991.

Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (unaudited):

 

(A) Represents results of operations for the hotels on a pro forma basis as if the hotels were owned by the Company at January 1, 2007 for the respective period prior to acquisition by the Company. The Company was initially formed on November 9, 2007, and had no operations prior to that date. Additionally, four properties began operations subsequent to January 1, 2007 and had limited historical operational activity prior to their opening. These properties are as follows: Santa Clarita, California Courtyard opened in May 2007, Lewisville, Texas Hilton Garden Inn opened in August 2007, Tucson, Arizona Hilton Garden Inn opened in March 2008, and Beaumont, Texas Residence Inn opened August 2008.
(B) Represents adjustments to level of administrative and other costs associated with being a public company and owning additional properties, including the advisory fee, accounting and legal expenses, net of cost savings derived from owning multiple operating properties.
(C) Represents elimination of historical depreciation and amortization expense of the acquired properties.
(D) Represents the depreciation on the hotels acquired based on the purchase price allocation to depreciable property and the dates the hotels began operation. The weighted average lives of the depreciable assets are 39 years for building and seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E). These estimated useful lives are based on management’s knowledge of the properties and the hotel industry in general.
(E) Interest expense and gain on debt cancellation related to prior owner’s debt which was not assumed has been eliminated. Interest income has been adjusted for funds used to acquire properties as of January 1, 2007, or the dates the hotels began operations.
(F) Represents the weighted average number of shares required to be issued to generate the purchase price of each hotel, net of any debt assumed. The calculation assumes all properties were acquired on the latter of January 1, 2007, or the dates the hotels began operations.
(G) Estimated income tax expense of our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiaries is zero based on the contractual agreement put in place between the Company and our lessees, based on a combined tax rate of 40% of taxable income. Based on the terms of the lease agreements, our taxable subsidiaries would have incurred a loss during these periods. No operating loss benefit has been recorded as realization is not certain.
