Scottsdale Princess Partnership
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003
On August 5, 1998, Canadian Pacific Hotels and Resorts, Inc. since renamed FHR Holdings Inc., which is a subsidiary of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Inc., purchased all of the assets of the Scottsdale Princess Partnership (the “Partnership”). The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method (the “Purchase Transaction”) and the assets and liabilities incurred were restated to reflect the fair values as of the purchase date.
CPH has incorporated in the U.S. two wholly owned subsidiaries to own 75% and 25% of the Partnership. The Partnership owns and operates a luxury resort in Scottsdale, Arizona.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Cash Equivalents
The Partnership’s policy is to invest excess cash in high-grade income producing short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Restricted Cash
The balance in the escrow deposits are considered restricted cash in accordance with the debt agreements. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents in the financial statements.
Inventories
Inventories, which consist primarily of food, beverage and retail merchandise, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Costs are determined on a first-in, first-out basis for food and beverage and specific identification for retail merchandise.
Escrow Deposits
Escrow deposits at December 31, 2005 and 2004 consist of deposits for real estate taxes of $690,410 and $737,963, respectively, and deposits for the replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment of $1,613,433 and $1,590,993, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment acquired as of August 5, 1998 are stated at fair value. All subsequent purchases, improvements, renewals, and extraordinary repairs that extend the life of the property and equipment are stated at cost. Gains and losses on dispositions or retirements are recorded in the period incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method based upon the following useful lives: buildings and improvements, 10-40 years; and furniture, fixtures, and equipment, 3-10 years. Depreciation expense for 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $8,855,886, $9,343,709 and $8,884,703, respectively.
Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposal is less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses are
6
Scottsdale Princess Partnership
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003
calculated as the difference between the asset’s costs basis and its estimated fair value. Any write-down in basis would represent the new cost. As an impairment analysis is based on estimated amounts, these estimates are subject to change. There was no impairment charge recognized for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquired business over the fair market value of the acquired net assets. Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer amortized and instead is tested for impairment on an annual basis. The Partnership’s annual impairment test for 2005 indicated no impairment exists.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (the “Statement”), that incorporates the amendments contained in SFAS No. 137,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 and SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of Statement 133. The Statement, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and are recognized in the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings. For all nonhedging derivatives, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. The Company uses interest rate cap agreements to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. At December 31, 2005, the Company recorded an asset of $47,700 related to the fair value of the interest rate cap. The impact on the income statement was immaterial due to the proximity of year end to the transaction.
Revenue Recognition
Room revenue is recognized when services have been rendered. Revenue from the sale of food and beverages is recognized when the items have been delivered.
Income Taxes
Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, a partnership is generally not subject to income taxes. Profit or loss and available investment tax credits are includable in the income tax returns of the individual partners; accordingly, no provision is made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, escrow deposits, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and advanced deposits approximate fair value based on the short maturity of these instruments. The Partnership’s long-term debt is estimated to be recorded at fair value, as described in Note 5.

Scottsdale Princess Partnership
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Partnership’s management to make estimates and assumption 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.” Interpretation No. 47 clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. Interpretation No. 47 is effective at the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The adoption of Interpretation No. 47 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial statements.
In May 2005, FASB issued SFAS No. 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements for changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle as well as to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 further requires a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets to be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. Corrections of errors in the application of accounting principles will continue to be reported by retroactively restating the affected financial statements. The provisions of this Statement are effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect this Statement will have a material impact on its financial reporting and disclosures.
In September 2005, FASB ratified the consensus reached by EITF on Issue No. 04-13,Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty. The consensus concluded that two or more legally separate exchange transactions with the same counterparty should be combined and considered as a single arrangement for accounting purposes, if they are entered into “in contemplation” of one another. The EITF also reached a consensus that nonmonetary exchanges of inventory within the same business should be recognized at fair value. The consensus reached on EITF Issue No. 04-13 is effective for new arrangements entered into, or modifications or renewals of existing arrangements, in reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006. The Company does not expect this Issue will have a material impact on its financial reporting and disclosures.

In November 2005, FASB issued FSP FAS 115-1/FAS 124-1,The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments (“FSP 115-1/124-1”). FSP 115-1/124-1 provides guidance on determining when investments in certain debt and equity securities are considered impaired, whether that impairment is other-than-temporary, and on measuring such impairment loss. FSP 115-1/124-1 also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. This FSP is required to be applied to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect this FSP will have a material impact on its financial reporting and disclosures.
3. | Concentrations of Credit Risk |

The Partnership has recorded the fair value of the notes payable assumed by discounting the future estimated cash flows, at the Partnership’s incremental borrowing rate at the time of the Purchase Transaction, including the prepayment penalty. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Partnership for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of long-term debt is $53,967,543 and $57,175,475 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
(b) | The notes payable, due in 2009 consist of three mortgage notes. The principal amounts are due in full at maturity on January 1, 2009. The interest rate is floating and is based on LIBOR plus 1.95%. Monthly interest payments are payable through maturity. The Company has entered into an interest rate contract to cap the LIBOR rate at 7.5% until January 1, 2009. The term of the mortgage is extendible up to two years subject to meeting certain conditions. The fair value of these mortgage notes approximates the carrying value due to the interest rate index based on LIBOR. |
The aggregate maturities of the notes payable for each of the years subsequent to December 31, 2005 are as follows: 2006, $2,598,160; 2007, $3,084,139; 2008, $3,368,100; 2009, $78,678,204; 2010, $4,016,860 and thereafter, $30,837,231.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, therefore, do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Partnership and its results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The Partnership believes the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s financial statements as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and for the each of the three years ended December 31, 2005 and notes thereto which are included elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of the 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 reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Partnership considers all cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2006, escrow deposits include $1,629,000 that will be used for property and equipment replacement in accordance with the hotel management agreement.
