|
| | Description of Business |
|
| | Whitehall Street Global Real Estate Limited Partnership 2001 (“Whitehall Street”), Whitehall Parallel Global Real Estate Limited Partnership 2001 (“Whitehall Parallel”), Whitehall Street Global Employee Fund 2001, L.P. (“Whitehall Employee”), and Oxford Lodging SF, LLC (“Oxford Lodging”) (collectively, the “Equity Members”) formed W2001 PAC Realty, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Property Owner”), on August 1, 2003. On December 29, 2003, the Equity Members assigned 100% of their membership interest in the Property Owner to W2001 PAC Realty Mezzanine, LLC (the “Company”). |
|
| | The Property Owner, which is consolidated into the Company, is the owner of real property located at 500 Post Street, San Francisco, CA 94102, commonly known as the Pan Pacific Hotel San Francisco (the “Hotel”), together with all buildings and improvements situated thereon and all related personal property, fixtures, and equipment (collectively, the “Property”). |
|
| | The Company was formed solely to (i) acquire, own, finance, manage, maintain, operate, improve, develop, lease, market, refinance, and sell the Hotel and (ii) engage in any and all activities necessary or incidental to the foregoing. |
|
| | Basis of Accounting |
|
| | The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Such estimates’ and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
| | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
| | The Company considers all liquid, temporary cash investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. |
|
| | Restricted Cash |
|
| | In accordance with the management agreement with the Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts of America Inc. (the “Management Company”), the Company is required to maintain a replacement reserve fund for the purpose of replacements to, and additions of, property improvements, adjacent grounds, furniture, fixtures, and equipment. The replacement reserve fund is funded with an amount equal to 4% of Gross Revenues, as defined, on a monthly basis. The balance in the replacement reserve fund at December 31, 2005 was $1,265,618. |
|
| | In accordance with mezzanine loan agreement with LSIF Funding (“LSIF”), the Company is required to set funds aside in a reserve account (the “Renovation Reserve”) in order to ensure that funds will be available to cover the costs of: the conversion of a penthouse suite into a meeting room, the conversion of the gift shop into a business center, and an increase in the number of rooms in the hotel. The balance in the Renovation Reserve fund at December 31, 2005 was $200,017 (Note 2). |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005
| | Property and Equipment |
|
| | Building and improvements, fixtures, furniture, and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of additions, alterations, and improvements is capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. |
|
| | Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: |
| | | | |
Building and improvements | | 39 years |
Furniture and equipment | | 5 years |
Fixtures | | 7 years |
| | Construction in progress totaling $228,134 is included in building and improvements. Construction in progress represents renovations to the Hotel and is capitalized as the costs are incurred. |
|
| | Renovation projects are generally less than six months in duration, and the Hotel remains fully operational while renovations occur. Upon completion of the renovations, the assets are depreciated according to the Company’s policy. |
|
| | The seller has guaranteed certain operations of the Hotel for ten years. The Company considers any amounts received or receivable under this agreement as refunds of contingent consideration and presents such amounts as a reduction in the purchase price as earned. |
|
| | Deferred Financing Costs |
|
| | Financing costs incurred in connection with the issuance of notes payable are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the contractual lives of the related notes payable, which approximates the effective-interest method. Amortization expense related to the deferred financing costs was $303,966 for the year ended December 31, 2005. |
|
| | Other Assets |
|
| | Other assets consist primarily of Hotel liquor license and inventories and are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using first-in, first out method. |
|
| | Revenue Recognition |
|
| | Room revenues are recognized when the services have been rendered. Revenue from the sale of food and beverage is recognized when the items have been delivered. |
|
| | Accounts Receivable |
|
| | Accounts receivable, which primarily represent amounts due from hotel guests, are presented net of allowances, which were not material at December 31, 2005. The Company regularly reviews the collectibility of its accounts receivable and adjusts allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly, generally ranging from 25%, 50% or 100% for balances over 91 to 180 days outstanding. |
|
| | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
|
| | In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a 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 by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No such impairment losses have been recognized to date. |

|
| | Marketing and Advertising Expenses |
|
| | Marketing and advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred marketing and advertising costs of $1,649,624 for the year ended December 31, 2005. |
|
| | 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
| | Income Taxes |
|
| | The Company has elected to be taxed as a partnership, and accordingly, records no income taxes. The members are individually responsible for reporting their shares of the Company’s taxable income or loss on their income tax returns. |
|
| | Certain transactions of the Company may be subject to accounting methods for income tax purposes that differ from the accounting methods used in preparing these financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the net income or loss of the Company and the resulting balances in the members’ capital accounts reported for income tax purposes may differ from the balances reported for those same items in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. |
|
| | New Accounting Pronouncement |
|
| | In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations– an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement 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. Thus, the timing and (or) method of settlement may be conditional on a future event. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. The adoption of FIN 47 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
|
2. | | Notes Payable |
|
| | On December 29, 2003, the Company entered into a debt agreement (“Senior Loan”) with Société Générale for $25,000,000. The Senior Loan bears interest at the Adjusted Base Rate or LIBOR plus 250 basis points at the Company’s discretion. The Adjusted Base Rate is equal to the greater of a rate publicly announced by Société Générale or the U.S. Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points. The Company has elected the LIBOR option, bearing interest at 5.95% as of December 31, 2005. The Senior Loan requires monthly payments of interest only. The Senior Loan matures on December 31, 2006, and is extendable for two separate 12-month periods if certain qualifications are met. The Senior Loan is collateralized by the Hotel. |

December 31, 2005
| | On December 29, 2003, the Company entered into a loan agreement with LSIF Funding LTD, (“LSIF”) for $12,500,000. The LSIF note bears interest of 10% plus the greater of 2.5% or LIBOR. As of December 31, 2005, the LSIF note bore interest at 13.45% . The LSIF note requires monthly payments of interest only until maturity on December 29, 2006 at which time all outstanding principal and accrued interest are due. The loan may be repaid without penalty beginning on June 30, 2006. The LSIF note may be extended for two additional one-year periods upon payment of an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding loan balance and is collateralized by capital of the members in the Company. The loan can be repaid without penalty beginning on June 30, 2006. |
|
| | Both notes were paid in full when the Property was sold and closed escrow on April 19, 2006 (Note 7). |
|
3. | | Ground Lease |
|
| | The Company leases land under a noncancelable operating lease, which extends through 2083. Every five years since the commencement date of the lease (January 15, 1984), the minimum base rent is increased using a factor of the consumer price index (“CPI”). The CPI increase is calculated by dividing the October CPI immediately preceding the January rate change by the CPI five years prior. This CPI factor is multiplied by the previous minimum base rent to arrive at the new minimum base rent. The most recent minimum base rent adjustment occurred in January 2004 to an annual rent of $1,340,500. The next rent increase will occur on January 2009. |
|
| | Minimum future rental commitments under the Company’s noncancelable ground lease for the next five years and thereafter as of December 31, 2005, are as follows: |
| | | | |
Year ending December 31 | | | | |
2006 | | $ | 1,340,500 | |
2007 | | | 1,340,500 | |
2008 | | | 1,340,500 | |
2009 | | | 1,340,500 | |
2010 | | | 1,340,500 | |
Thereafter | | | 97,856,500 | |
| | In addition to the minimum base rent, the lease agreement also requires an annual payment equal to 3.25% of the net operating income (“NOI”) plus shortfalls from the guaranteed NOI as designated in the management agreement, if any, achieved by the Hotel. As of December 31, 2005, the Company accrued rent expense in connection with the guaranteed NOI of $146,250 in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. |

5. | | Management Agreement With Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts of America Inc. |
|
| | The Company acquired the Hotel from Tokyu Corporation, a Japanese corporation, and San Francisco 109, Inc., a California corporation and a subsidiary of Tokyu Corporation (collectively, the “Seller”) effective August 1, 2003. As a condition of the acquisition, the Company entered into a management agreement with Pan Pacific Hotels & Resorts America Inc., (the “Management Company” or the “Manager”), which is an indirect subsidiary of Tokyu Corporation, for the operation, management, maintenance, and marketing of the Hotel. The term of the management agreement is 10 years (ending December 31, 2012). Under the agreement, the Management Company manages the Hotel for a management fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the gross operating profit, as defined, and charges a marketing fee equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the gross room revenue, as defined. During the first two years, one-half of the marketing fees was dedicated to the exclusive marketing of the Hotel. |
|
| | Under the agreement, the Management Company is required to fund the shortfall between the minimum required net operating income and actual net operating income, both as defined by the management agreement, for the first five years of the management agreement. For the remaining five years of the management agreement, the Management Company is only required to fund the shortfall to the extent of their management and marketing fees. The shortfall totaled $785,878 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Management Company instructed the Company to draw from their $3 million Letter of Credit (“LOC”) to fund the 2005 NOI shortfall amount. This triggered a clause in the management which entitled the Company to draw down on the remaining balance of the LOC, which it did in March 2006. |
|
| | Also under the Management Agreement, the Company has the right to terminate such agreement if the Management Company instructs the Company to draw on a letter of credit to fund any shortfalls and such shortfall exceeds 10% of the Minimum Required NOI, as defined. These conditions existed in 2005 and, accordingly, the Company exercised its right to terminate the Management Agreement, effective February 13, 2006. The portion of the draw on the letter of credit which relates to this contract termination provision of $2,214,122 is reflected as a further reduction in property and equipment in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. |
|
6. | | Related-Party Transactions |
|
| | The Company has retained Oxford Lodging Advisory & Investment Group, LLC (“Oxford LLC”), an affiliate of Oxford Lodging, to perform asset management and development services for a fee equal to 1.5% of gross revenues as defined in the agreement. The Company incurred asset management fees of $355,872 to Oxford LLC for the year ended December 31, 2005, which are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Owner has also retained the Manager to perform various development services in connection with the renovation project and was paid a development fee in the amount of 4% of the renovation project cost for the development period not to exceed $110,000. |
|
7. | | Subsequent Events |

March 31, 2006 and 2005
1. | | Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
| | Description of Business |
|
| | Whitehall Street Global Real Estate Limited Partnership 2001 (“Whitehall Street”), Whitehall Parallel Global Real Estate Limited Partnership 2001 (“Whitehall Parallel”), Whitehall Street Global Employee Fund 2001, L.P. (“Whitehall Employee”), and Oxford Lodging SF, LLC (“Oxford Lodging”) (collectively, the “Equity Members”) formed W2001 PAC Realty, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Property Owner”), on August 1, 2003. On December 29, 2003, the Equity Members assigned 100% of their membership interest in the Property Owner to W2001 PAC Realty Mezzanine, LLC (the “Company”). |
|
| | The Property Owner, which is consolidated into the Company, is the owner of real property located at 500 Post Street, San Francisco, CA 94102, commonly known as the Pan Pacific Hotel San Francisco (the “Hotel”), together with all buildings and improvements situated thereon and all related personal property, fixtures, and equipment (collectively, the “Property”). |
|
| | The Company was formed solely to (i) acquire, own, finance, manage, maintain, operate, improve, develop, lease, market, refinance, and sell the Hotel and (ii) engage in any and all activities necessary or incidental to the foregoing. |
|
2. | | Basis of Accounting |
|
| | The consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include certain information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements and as described in the Company’s 2005 consolidated financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial statements which appear in that report. |
|
3. | | Significant Accounting Policies Summary |
|
| | Principles of Consolidation |
|
| | The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions among the consolidated entities have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements. |
|
| | Restricted Cash |
|
| | In accordance with the management agreement with the Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts of America Inc. (the “Management Company”), the Company is required to maintain a replacement reserve fund for the purpose of replacements to, and additions of, property improvements, adjacent grounds, furniture, fixtures, and equipment. The replacement reserve fund is funded with an amount equal to 4% of Gross Revenues, as defined, on a monthly basis. |

W2001 PAC Realty Mezzanine, LLC
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2006 and 2005
| | In accordance with mezzanine loan agreement with LSIF Funding (“LSIF”), the Company is required to set funds aside in a reserve account (the “Renovation Reserve”) in order to ensure that funds will be available to cover the costs of: the conversion of a penthouse suite into a meeting room, the conversion of the gift shop into a business center, and an increase in the number of rooms in the hotel. |
|
| | These funds have been refunded back to the Company subsequently due to the sale of the Hotel (Note 6). |
|
| | Property and Equipment |
|
| | Building and improvements, fixtures, furniture, and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of additions, alterations, and improvements is capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. |
| | Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: |
| | | | |
Building and improvements | | 39 years |
Furniture and equipment | | 5 years |
Fixtures | | 7 years |
| | Deferred Financing Costs |
|
| | Financing costs incurred in connection with the issuance of notes payable are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the contractual lives of the related notes payable, which approximates the effective-interest method. |
|
| | Revenue Recognition |
|
| | Room revenues are recognized when the services have been rendered. Revenue from the sale of food and beverage is recognized when the items have been delivered. |
|
| | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
|
| | Accounts receivables, which primarily represent amounts due from hotel guests, are presented net of allowances. The Company regularly reviews the collectibility of its accounts receivable and adjusts allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly, generally ranging from 25%, 50% and 100% for balances over 91 to 180 days outstanding. |
|
| | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
|
| | In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a 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 by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No such impairment losses have been recognized to date. |
|
| | Discontinued Operations |
|
| | The Company reports real estate dispositions as discontinued operations separately as prescribed under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Beginning in 2006, the Company reported operating results attributable to discontinued operations and the applicable gain or loss on |
23
W2001 PAC Realty Mezzanine, LLC
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2006 and 2005
| | dispositions of real estate separately. Property held for sale is stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less costs to sell and income or loss attributable to these properties is included in discontinued operations. |
|
| | Marketing and Advertising Expenses |
|
| | Marketing and advertising costs are expensed as incurred. |
|
| | 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
| | Income Taxes |
|
| | The Company is not a taxpaying entity, and accordingly, records no income taxes. The members are individually responsible for reporting their shares of the Company’s taxable income or loss on their income tax returns. |
|
| | Certain transactions of the Company may be subject to accounting methods for income tax purposes that differ from the accounting methods used in preparing these financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the net income or loss of the Company and the resulting balances in the members’ capital accounts reported for income tax purposes may differ from the balances reported for those same items in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. |
|
4. | | Notes Payable |
|
| | On December 29, 2003, the Company entered into a debt agreement (“Senior Loan”) with Société Générale for $25,000,000. The Senior Loan bears interest at the Adjusted Base Rate or LIBOR plus 250 basis points at the Company’s discretion. The Adjusted Base Rate is equal to the greater of a rate publicly announced by Société Générale or the U.S. Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points. The Company has elected the LIBOR option, bearing interest at 7.30% and 5.95% as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The Senior Loan requires monthly payments of interest only. The Senior Loan matures on December 31, 2006, and is extendable for two separate 12-month periods if certain qualifications are met. The Senior Loan is collateralized by the Hotel. |
|
| | On December 29, 2003, the Company entered into a loan agreement with LSIF Funding LTD, (“LSIF”) for $12,500,000. The LSIF note bears interest of 10% plus the greater of 2.5% or LIBOR. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the LSIF note bore interest at 14.63% and 13.45%, respectively. The LSIF note requires monthly payments of interest only until maturity on December 29, 2006 at which time all outstanding principal and accrued interest are due. The loan may be repaid without penalty beginning on June 30, 2006. The LSIF note may be extended for two additional one-year periods upon payment of an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding loan balance and is collateralized by capital of the members in the Company. The loan can be repaid without penalty beginning on June 30, 2006. |

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2006 and 2005
| | Both notes were paid in full when the Property was sold and closed escrow on April 19, 2006 (Note 6). In conjunction with this transaction, a prepayment penalty of $443,295 was incurred and paid. |
|
5. | | Management Agreement With Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts of America Inc. |
|
| | The Company acquired the Hotel from Tokyu Corporation, a Japanese corporation, and San Francisco 109, Inc., a California corporation and a subsidiary of Tokyu Corporation (collectively, the “Seller”) effective August 1, 2003. As a condition of the acquisition, the Company entered into a management agreement with Pan Pacific Hotels & Resorts America Inc., (the “Management Company” or the “Manager”), which is an indirect subsidiary of Tokyu Corporation, for the operation, management, maintenance, and marketing of the Hotel. The term of the management agreement is 10 years (ending December 31, 2012). Under the agreement, the Management Company manages the Hotel for a management fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the gross operating profit, as defined, and charges a marketing fee equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the gross room revenue, as defined. During the first two years, one-half of the marketing fees was dedicated to the exclusive marketing of the Hotel. |
|
| | Under the agreement, the Management Company is required to fund the shortfall between the minimum required net operating income and actual net operating income, both as defined by the management agreement, for the first five years of the management agreement. For the remaining five years of the management agreement, the Management Company is only required to fund the shortfall to the extent of their management and marketing fees. The shortfall totaled $785,878 and for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Management Company instructed the Company to draw from their $3 million Letter of Credit (“LOC”) to fund the 2005 NOI shortfall amount. This triggered a clause in the management which entitled the Company to draw down on the remaining balance of the LOC, which it did in March 2006. |
|
| | Also under the Management Agreement, the Company has the right to terminate such agreement if the Management Company instructs the Company to draw on a letter of credit to fund any shortfalls and such shortfall exceeds 10% of the Minimum Required NOI, as defined. These conditions existed in 2005 and, accordingly, the Company exercised its right to terminate the Management Agreement, effective February 13, 2006; however, the Company requested the Manager continue to operate the Hotel in accordance with the Management Agreement during the Transition Period, as defined (Note 6). The Company considers any amounts received or receivable under the guarantee or termination provisions of the management contract as refunds of contingent consideration and presents such amounts as a reduction in the purchase price. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, $2,689,421 was received from the seller under the guarantee provisions which reduced long-lived assets accordingly. |
|
6. | | Subsequent Events |
|
| | On April 19, 2006, the Company sold the Hotel to Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. for cash proceeds of $95,000,000, which subsequently closed escrow on April 19, 2006. |

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of W2001 PAC Realty Mezzanine, LLC (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ capital, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2004, and for the period from August 1, 2003 (inception), through December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included 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 Company’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, and 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 consolidated financial position of W2001 PAC Realty Mezzanine, LLC as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2004, and for the period from August 1, 2003 (inception), through December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Description of Business
Whitehall Street Global Real Estate Limited Partnership 2001 (“Whitehall Street”), Whitehall Parallel Global Real Estate Limited Partnership 2001 (“Whitehall Parallel”), Whitehall Street Global Employee Fund 2001, L.P. (“Whitehall Employee”), and Oxford Lodging SF, LLC (“Oxford Lodging”) (collectively, the “Equity Members”) became members of W2001 PAC Realty, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Property Owner”), on August 1, 2003, the inception of the Property Owner. On December 29, 2003, the Equity Members assigned 100% of their membership interest in the Property Owner to W2001 PAC Realty Mezzanine (the “Company”).
The Property Owner, which is consolidated into the Company, is the owner of real property located at 500 Post Street, San Francisco, CA 94102, commonly known as the Pan Pacific Hotel San Francisco (the “Hotel”), together with all buildings and improvements situated thereon and all related personal property, fixtures, and equipment (collectively, the “Property”).
The Company was formed solely to (i) acquire, own, finance, manage, maintain, operate, improve, develop, lease, market, refinance, and sell the Hotel and (ii) engage in any and all activities necessary or incidental to the foregoing.
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid temporary cash investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash
In accordance with the management agreement with the Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts of America Inc. (the “Management Company”), the Company is required to maintain a replacement reserve fund for the purpose of replacements to, and additions of, property improvements, adjacent grounds, furniture, fixtures, and equipment. The replacement reserve fund is funded with an amount equal to 4% of Gross Revenues, as defined, on a monthly basis. The balance in the replacement reserve fund at December 31, 2004 and 2003, was $709,785 and $245,122, respectively.
In accordance with mezzanine loan agreement with LSIF Funding LTD (“LSIF”), the Company is required to set aside a reserve account (the “Renovation Reserve”) in the amount of $3,500,000 in order to ensure that funds will be available to cover the costs of the renovation. The balance in the Renovation Reserve fund at December 31, 2004 and 2003, was $405,000 and $3,500,000, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Building and improvements, fixtures, furniture, and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
| | | | |
Building and improvements | | 39 years |
Furniture and equipment | | 5 years |
Fixtures | | 7 years |
The cost of additions, alterations, and improvements is capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Construction in progress totaling $85,669 is included in building and improvements. Construction in progress represents renovations to the Hotel and is capitalized as the costs are incurred. Renovation projects are generally less than six months in duration, and the Hotel remains fully operational while renovations occur. Upon completion of the renovations, the assets are depreciated according to the Company’s policy.

Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the issuance of notes payable are amortized using the straight-line method over the contractual lives of the related notes payable, which approximates the effective-interest method. Amortization expense related to the deferred financing costs was $303,966 and zero for the year ended December 31, 2004, and for the period from August 1, 2003, through December 31, 2003, respectively.
Other Assets
Other assets consist primarily of inventories and the Hotel liquor license.
Revenue Recognition
Room revenues are recognized when the services have been rendered; these are, therefore, recognized on a day-to-day basis.
Revenue from the sale of food and beverage is recognized when the items have been delivered.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable primarily represent amounts due from Hotel guests, net of allowances, which were not material at December 31, 2004.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a 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 by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No such impairment losses have been recognized to date.

Marketing and Advertising Expenses
Marketing and advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred marketing and advertising costs of $1,764,125 and $529,716 for the year ended December 31, 2004, and for the period from August 1, 2003, through December 31, 2003, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company is not a taxpaying entity and, accordingly, records no income taxes. The members are individually responsible for reporting their shares of the Company’s taxable income or loss on their income tax returns.
Certain transactions of the Company may be subject to accounting methods for income tax purposes that differ from the accounting methods used in preparing these financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the net income or loss of the Company and the resulting balances in the members’ capital accounts reported for income tax purposes may differ from the balances reported for those same items in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
2. Notes Payable
On August 1, 2003, the Property Owner obtained a bridge loan from Whitehall Parallel, Whitehall Street, and Whitehall Employee under one loan agreement for $37,500,000 to acquire the Hotel.

On December 29, 2003, the Company entered into debt agreements (“Senior Loan”) with Société Générale for $25,000,000. The Senior Loan bears interest at the Adjusted Base Rate or LIBOR plus 250 basis points at the borrower’s discretion. The Adjusted Base Rate is equal to a rate publicly announced by Société Générale or the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points. The Senior Loan used the Adjusted Base Rate option, bearing 4.8% and 4.5% of interest as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Senior Loan requires monthly payments of interest only. The Senior Loan matures on December 31, 2006, and is extendable for two separate 12-month periods if certain qualifications are met. The Senior Loan is collateralized by the Hotel.

2. Notes Payable (continued)
On December 29, 2003, the Company entered into a loan agreement with LSIF Funding LTD, (“LSIF”) for $12,500,000. The LSIF note bears interest of 10% plus the greater of 2.5% or LIBOR.

The LSIF note may be extended for two additional one-year periods upon payment of an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding loan balance and is collateralized by capital of the members in the Company.
3. Ground Lease
The Company leases land under a noncancelable operating lease, which extends through 2083. Every five years since the commencement date of the lease (January 15, 1984), the minimum base rent is increased using a factor of the consumer price index (“CPI”). The CPI increase is calculated by dividing the October CPI immediately preceding the January rate change by the CPI five years prior. This CPI factor is multiplied by the previous minimum base rent to arrive at the new minimum base rent. The most recent minimum base rent adjustment occurred in January 2004 to an annual rent of $1,340,500. The next rent increase will occur on January 2009.
Minimum future rental commitments under the Company’s noncancelable operating lease for the next five years as of December 31, 2004, are as follows:
| | | | |
Year ending December 31, | | | | |
2005 | | $ | 1,340,500 | |
2006 | | | 1,340,500 | |
2007 | | | 1,340,500 | |
2008 | | | 1,340,500 | |
2009 | | | 1,340,500 | |
In addition to the minimum base rent, the lease agreement also requires an annual payment equal to 3.25% of the net operating income (“NOI”) plus shortfalls from the guaranteed NOI as designated in the management agreement, if any, achieved by the Hotel. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company accrued rent expense in connection with the guaranteed NOI of $113,750 and $29,971, respectively, in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

4. The LLC Agreement
Capital Contributions
The capital contribution funded to the Property Owner prior to the formation of the Company will for all purposes be deemed to have been funded to the Company on such date.
Any capital calls shall be made by written notice sent to all of the Equity Members, shall provide not less than twenty (20) days’ advance notice before the additional capital contributions requested thereby are due and payable, and shall be apportioned pro rata among the Equity Members in accordance with each Equity Member’s percentage interest.

Equity Member capital contributions totaling $2,250,000 were made during March and April of 2004. These were made primarily due to the renovation funds that ownership was required to expend prior to release of those amounts from the Renovation Reserve account. Some funds were also required for working capital during the renovation period.
Distributions of Available Cash
Whitehall Parallel, on behalf of the Company, as stated below, shall make distributions of available cash to the Equity Members within sixty (60) days after the end of each quarter of each fiscal year. Any Company loan shall be repaid in full prior to any distributions of available cash.
Available cash shall be distributed to the Equity Members in the following order of priority:
| (a) | | First, to the Equity Members, in accordance with their relative percentage interests, until each member has received, on a cumulative basis, a fifteen percent (15%) internal rate of return on its capital contributions; |

Under the agreement, the Management Company manages the Hotel for a management fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the gross operating profit, as defined, and charges a marketing fee equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the gross room revenue, as defined. During the first two years, one-half of the marketing fees shall be dedicated to the exclusive marketing of the Hotel. Under the agreement, the Management Company is required to fund the shortfall between the minimum required net operating income and actual net operating income, as defined by the management agreement, for the first five years of the management agreement. For the remaining five years of the management agreement, the Management Company is only required to fund the shortfall between the minimum required net operating income and the actual net operating income to the extent of their management and marketing fees. The shortfall totaled $2,010,577 and $174,511 for the year ended December 31, 2004, and for the period from August 1, 2003, through December 31, 2003, respectively. The shortfall in any calendar year for the first five years of the management agreement will be treated as a purchase price adjustment to the basis of the Hotel. The net operating income guarantee by the Management Company represents a contingent consideration, which is required to be considered as an element of the cost of the acquired asset. As of December 31, 2004, the total accumulated shortfall of $2,185,088 was treated as a reduction in the basis of the Hotel.
Management fees totaled $573,103 and $240,955 for the year ended December 31, 2004, and for the period from August 1, 2003, through December 31, 2003, respectively, and are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Total compensation amounting to $115,867 for the property controller for 2004 was paid for by the Management Company and was excluded from the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
7. Real Estate Tax Issues
During 2004, the Company was billed for property taxes by the County of San Francisco (the “County”) based upon an assessed value significantly in excess of the amount paid by the Company for the purchase of the Property. The County failed to process the Change in Ownership submittal to establish a new base value by the January 1, 2005, assessment date. In the opinion of the asset manager and legal counsel, the County arbitrarily rolled back the property value to the prior owner’s original purchase price. The asset manager immediately objected to the assessment with the County, and in December 2004, was successful in obtaining a partial reduction in the assessed value of the Property, but not to an amount consistent with the Company’s purchase price of the Property. In order to avoid penalties and defaulting on its loan covenants, the Company paid the installment of property taxes that was due in December 2004 based on the revised bill, but intends to seek a reduction from the County for this overpayment through the second installment payment due on April 10, 2005. The asset manager, its tax consultant, and outside legal counsel believe that the Company will be successful in further lowering the assessed value of the Property and, accordingly, lowering the amount of property taxes, and believe the Company will receive a refund of a portion of the taxes paid in December 2004. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States, the Company will record any refunds related to property taxes in the period in which such amounts are realized.

ASHFORD HOSPITALITY TRUST, INC.
CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management prepared the following pro forma financial statements, which are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) and adjusted to give effect to several acquisitions completed after December 31, 2004 and the related debt and equity offerings to fund those acquisitions, as discussed below, as if such transactions occurred at the beginning of the periods presented regarding the consolidated pro forma statements of operations and as of the balance sheet date regarding the consolidated pro forma balance sheet.
On March 16, 2005, the Company acquired 21 hotel properties and an office building from selling entities controlled by affiliates of Fisher Brothers, Gordon Getty Trust, and George Soros, which collectively owned approximately 78% of the acquired properties, and certain members of the Company’s senior management, whom collectively owned approximately 22% of the acquired properties, for approximately $250.0 million. The $250.0 million purchase price consisted of approximately $35.0 million in cash, approximately $164.7 million in assumed mortgage debt, and approximately $50.3 million worth of limited partnership units, which equates to 4,994,150 units based on $10.07 per share, which represents the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the 20-day period ending five business days before signing a definitive agreement to acquire these properties on December 23, 2004. Company management received their net consideration for the acquisition in the form of limited partnership units, whereas the third parties received 50% of their consideration in limited partnership units and 50% in cash. The Company used proceeds from its sale of Series B cumulative convertible redeemable preferred stock on December 30, 2004, from its follow-on public offering on January 20, 2005, and from a $15.0 million draw on its $60.0 million credit facility on March 16, 2005 to fund the acquisition of these properties.

On June 17, 2005, the Company acquired a 30-property hotel portfolio from CNL Hotels and Resorts, Inc. for approximately $465.0 million in cash. To fund this acquisition, the Company used proceeds from several sources, including: its $370.0 million mortgage loan executed on June 17, 2005, approximately $65.0 million from the issuance of 6,454,816 shares of Series B convertible redeemable preferred stock to a financial institution on June 15, 2005, and cash remaining from its follow-on public offering on April 5, 2005.
On October 28, 2005, the Company acquired the Hyatt Dulles hotel property in Herndon, Virginia, from Dulles Airport, LLC for approximately $72.5 million in cash. The Company used proceeds from borrowings to fund this acquisition, including a portion of its $210.8 million mortgage loan executed on October 13, 2005 and its $45.0 million mortgage loan executed on October 28, 2005.
On January 25, 2006, in a follow-on public offering, the Company issued 12,107,623 shares of its common stock at $11.15 per share, which generated gross proceeds of approximately $135.0 million. However, the aggregate proceeds to the Company, net of underwriters’ discount and offering costs, was approximately $128.6 million. The 12,107,623 shares issued include 1,507,623 shares sold pursuant to an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. The net proceeds were used for a $60.0 million pay-down on the Company’s $100.0 million credit facility, due August 17, 2008, on January 31, 2006, a $45.0 million pay-down on the Company’s $45.0 million mortgage loan, due October 10, 2007, on February 9, 2006, and the acquisition of the Marriott at Research Triangle Park hotel property on February 24, 2006 for $28.0 million, as discussed below.
On February 24, 2006, the Company acquired the Marriott at Research Triangle Park hotel property in Durham, North Carolina, from Host Marriott Corporation for approximately $28.0 million in cash. The Company used proceeds from its sale of two hotels on January 17, 2006 and its follow-on public offering on January 25, 2006 to fund this acquisition.
On April 19, 2006, the Company acquired the Pan Pacific San Francisco Hotel in San Francisco, California, for approximately $95.0 million in cash. Such acquisition generated the requirement for this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. The Company used proceeds from two credit facility draws of approximately $88.9 million and $15.0 million to fund this acquisition. The effects of these draws are included as pro forma adjustments on the following pro forma financial statements.
The following consolidated pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 24, 2006, which announced the completion of the acquisition of the Pan Pacific San Francisco Hotel, the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2005, which are incorporated by reference in the Company’s Form 10-K, filed March 14, 2006, and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto related to W2001 Pac Realty Mezzanine, L.L.C. included elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A.
