REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Partners
Hyatt Summerfield Suites Hotel Partnerships
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Hyatt Summerfield Suites Hotel Partnerships (see Note A1 to the financial statements) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related combined statements of earnings, partners’ capital and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnerships’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America as established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. 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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Hyatt Summerfield Suites Hotel Partnerships as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the combined results of their operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ended December 31, 2006.
| 3. | Concentration of credit risk |
The Partnerships’ financial instruments exposed to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, replacement funds, debt service escrows, tax escrows and accounts receivable. The Partnerships place their funds into high credit quality financial institutions and at times, the funds may be in excess of the federal depository insurance limit.
Replacement funds are maintained by the Partnerships for the primary purpose of funding the repair and replacement of, and additions to, furniture, fixtures, equipment and other capital assets. Amounts ranging from 3% to 4% of the gross revenues, as defined, of the Partnerships are required by the Partnerships’ management agreements and loan agreements to be deposited into the replacement funds on an annual basis.

NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Debt service escrows are required to be maintained by the Partnerships as required by the mortgages payable.
Accounts receivable represent amounts due from current guests and certain corporate accounts and are not collateralized. Accounts past due 90 days or more and determined not to be collectible by management are charged off to general and administrative expense. Charge offs, net of recoveries, were $37,410, $68,728, $144,393 and $111,400 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, and net recoveries were $52,193 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Accounts receivable at December 31, 2004 and 2005 and September 30, 2006 are considered to be fully collectible.
Depreciation is computed using both straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Useful lives are as follows:
Buildings and components | 39 years |
Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 3-15 years |
Normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred; betterments and replacements are capitalized.
Loan fees, closing and other costs incurred in obtaining mortgage financing have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the mortgages payable. Accumulated amortization on deferred loan costs was $400,440, $506,630, and $586,267 at December 31, 2004 and 2005, and September 30, 2006, respectively.
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004, and 2005 and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 were $49,571, $64,482, $59,853, $26,432 and $37,105, respectively.
The accompanying financial statements do not include a provision for income taxes because the Partnerships are not taxpaying entities. Each partner includes their proportionate share of the Partnerships’ taxable income or loss in their individual tax returns. Differences between income or loss reported for financial reporting and income tax purposes primarily result from certain costs capitalized for reporting purposes and expensed for tax purposes and certain costs capitalized for both reporting and tax purposes, but amortized using different methods and useful lives.

NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Partnerships consider cash and cash equivalents to include currency on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents do not include the replacement funds, debt service escrows, or tax escrows consisting primarily of interest-bearing money market accounts since these funds are restricted as to their use.
| 13. | Impairment of long-lived assets |
The Partnerships periodically review the carrying value of their property and equipment to determine if events and circumstances exist indicating that the assets might be impaired. If facts or circumstances support the possibility of impairment, the Partnerships prepare projections of undiscounted cash flows, without interest charges, of the hotel property to determine if the amounts estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. If impairment is indicated, an adjustment is made to the carrying amount based on the difference between the sum of the expected future discounted net cash flows and the carrying amount of the asset. No impairment losses have been recorded by the Partnerships.
| 14. | Transfers of partnership interest |
BHA, GHA, HHA, PHLP and PHA have made a Section 754 election under the Internal Revenue Code. This election provides that when there is a partnership interest transferred between partners, the new partner’s capital account is equal to the amount the new partner paid for the interest. The Partnerships, therefore, adjust the capital account corresponding to the transferred interest, with a corresponding step up or step down to the carrying value of the partnership’s assets. The step up or step down is allocated to the specific partner and amortized over the lives of the assets.

| 6. | Note payable to limited partners |
Certain partnerships had revolving promissory notes payable to limited partners of which $30,000, $-0- and $-0- was outstanding as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and September 30, 2006, respectively. The largest balance outstanding was $255,000, $455,000, $455,000 and $460,000 during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

| 7. | Transfers of partnership interests |
Limited partners have sold and repurchased limited partnership interests with parties related and unrelated to the limited partners. Those parties became partners with the full rights and obligations of a limited partner. The fair value of the limited partnership interests was determined using a valuation method whereby adjusted net cash flows were capitalized at an 8% rate in 2004 and a 10% rate in 2005. The sales resulted in partnership assets being stepped up $5,409,436 in 2004 and stepped down $136,764 in 2005 with a corresponding increase and decrease in the partners’ capital accounts. See Note A14 for the applicable accounting policy.

NOTE D - DISTRIBUTION TO PARTNERS
Each partnership’s net available cash, as defined, will be distributed from time to time, generally in the following manner:
• | First, among the partners of each individual partnership pari passu in proportion to, and to the extent of, each partner’s unpaid return on capital, until each partner’s unpaid return on capital has been reduced to zero |
• | next, among the partners of each individual partnership pari passu in proportion to their respective additional capital, in repayment of such additional capital, until each partner’s additional capital has been repaid in full and |
• | next, equally between (i) incentive management fees and (ii) the partners of each individual partnership pari passu in proportion to their respective percentage interests. |
To make distributions to partners, the partnerships must generally maintain specified debt service ratios and minimum debt service escrow balances.
BHA, GHA, HHA, PHA and SHA have Class B limited partners and PHLP has Class C limited partners, which contributed no capital to the partnerships. They, therefore, receive no distributions until all partners have received distributions equal to their unpaid return on capital and any additional capital contribution.
In the event of a sale, refinancing or liquidation of the Hotels, the distributions are the same as previously described, after the capital contributions are returned before payment of incentive management fees.
At December 31, 2004 and 2005, and September 30, 2006, unpaid and unaccrued minimum returns totaled $8,123,376, $9,445,577 and $8,081,705, respectively.
NOTE E - ALLOCATION OF NET EARNINGS OR LOSS
Net earnings or loss is allocated among the partners of each partnership in accordance with the provisions of the individual partnership agreements. In general, net earnings or loss is allocated based on the respective residual percentage interests of the partners. However, Class B and C limited partners generally are allocated net earnings only to the extent of cash distributions made to them. Limited partners’ capital accounts can be allocated losses and taken to a deficit balance only to the extent of their share of the partnerships’ minimum gain, as defined by Internal Revenue Service statutes. Losses in excess of the minimum gain computation are allocated to the general partner. Depreciation associated with the step ups in basis is allocated to the specific partner.

NOTE G - LOAN GUARANTEES
BHA, GHA, PHA and another partnership related through common ownership, but not included in these accompanying combined financial statements, have a combined credit facility collateralized by the contract rights and assets of all four partnerships as described in the mortgage payable to German American Capital Corporation in Note C. The total principal balance of the other related loan not included in the accompanying combined financial statement at December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006 was $12,981,538 and $12,751,550, respectively. Should any of the partnerships default on their loan agreements, the lender could look to the partnerships and the assets collateralizing the partnerships’ loans for repayment of the related partnerships’ loans. In connection with the sale of the hotel assets of the Partnerships subsequent to September 30, 2006, the mortgages payable of BHA, GHA, and PHA were paid in full.

NOTE H - FORWARD CONTRACTS
At times, certain partnerships enter into forward contracts for the purchase of electricity and natural gas. The contracts are generally for a period of two years or less with fixed or variable prices and quantities based on anticipated consumption. The partnerships are not subject to penalties if the usage varies. The contracts are not considered derivatives because they are forward contracts which meet the normal purchase exception in that the partnerships expect to use the electricity and natural gas in the normal course of business. Utilities expense is recorded as incurred.
NOTE I - OCCUPANCY TAX REBATE
As an inducement to PHLP, the City of Pleasant Hill agreed to rebate the first $650,000 of occupancy tax received and fifty percent of amounts subsequently received to a maximum of $500,000 (additional rebate). The additional rebate will be reduced if actual room rents, as defined, exceed $6,500,000 for the preceding twelve months computed on a quarterly basis. PHLP has received cumulative occupancy tax rebates totaling $778,905 and $919,445 as of December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006, respectively.
NOTE J - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Effective December 31, 2006, the hotel assets of the Partnerships were sold for approximately $169 million. In connection with the sale, the mortgages payable were paid in full. Based upon the selling price, incentive management fees of $453,013 on CHA will never be paid and have therefore been written off. The write off of the incentive management fees is reflected in the statement of earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
