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 of these statements 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010 AND 2009
NOTE A — NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
800 Canal Street Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) was formed on August 13, 1991 for the purpose of leasing, developing and operating the building known as the D. H. Holmes building at 800 Iberville Street, New Orleans, Louisiana (the “Building”). The Building was developed into a hotel comprised of 251 units with 8,500 square feet of meeting space, and approximately 22,000 square feet of commercial retail space located on real property leased by the Partnership from Canal Street Development Corporation (“CSDC”), wholly owned by the Office of the Mayor of the City of New Orleans. The hotel began operations in April 1995.
The Investor Limited Partner is Chevron U.S.A., Inc. (“CUSA”) and the General Partner is Historic Restoration, Inc. (“HRI”).
NOTE B — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents represent unrestricted deposits in financial institutions. The Partnership considers all unrestricted investment instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no cash equivalents.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification No. 360-10-05-4,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company reviews its investment in real estate for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such property may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the real estate to the future net undiscounted cash flow expected to be generated by the rental property including the low income housing tax credits and any estimated proceeds from the eventual disposition of the real estate. If the real estate is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured at the amount by which the carrying amount of the real estate exceeds the fair value of such property. There were no impairment losses recognized in 2010.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while items which do not extend the useful lives of the assets are expensed currently. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated service lives range from 7 to 39 years.
Rental Income
Rental income is recognized as rentals become due. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned. All leases between the Partnership and tenants of the property are operating leases.
Income Taxes
No provision or benefit for income taxes has been included in these financial statements. Taxable income or loss passes through to, and is reportable by, the partners individually.
Amortization of Deferred Loan Costs
Refinancing costs incurred in 1999 and 2000 are being amortized over a period of ten years on a straight-line basis.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets
Prepaid expenses include prepaid insurance, prepaid licenses, and other prepaid expenses. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, prepaid expenses totaled $183,175 and $89,088, respectively.

800 CANAL STREET LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010 AND 2009
NOTE D — USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Investor Limited Partner made capital contributions totaling $5,000,000 of which $600,000 was paid on the admission date and $2,000,000 was paid on the date of project completion (April 1995).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010 AND 2009
NOTE G — LONG TERM LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
On October 23, 2007, the Partnership and MONY entered into a loan modification agreement pursuant to which the interest rate was reduced from 9.14% to 8.50% effective October 23, 2007 and the monthly payments beginning November 1, 2007 through August 1, 2010 would be interest only. The maturity date remained September 1, 2010, but MONY agreed that the Partnership had the right to prepay the loan without penalty.
On October 1, 2009, the Partnership and MONY entered into an additional loan modification agreement pursuant to which the pay rate on the loan was reduced from 8.50% to the greater of (i) 4.50%, interest only, or (ii) excess cash flow for the period October 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010. The original maturity date of September 1, 2010. was further extended to September 1, 2011.
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the principal balance amounted to $13,022,374 and $13,022,374, respectively. The accrued interest balance as of the same dates amounted to $91,317 and $177,430, respectively.
Note Payable to Sonesta Louisiana Hotels Corporation
In connection with the restructuring of the MONY loan, the Partnership and Sonesta Louisiana Hotels Corporation (“Sonesta”) terminated the hotel management agreement dated May 6, 1993 and the garage management agreement dated the same date. On October 23, 2007, the Partnership paid to Sonesta the sum of $1,500,000 in satisfaction of all liabilities of the Partnership to Sonesta and its affiliates.
In connection with the termination of the hotel management agreement, the Partnership also executed a promissory note in the amount of $1,600,000 payable to Sonesta. The interest rate is eight percent per annum compounded annually and payment is subordinate to the MONY loan. The Partnership is obligated to make payments to the extent of available excess cash flow, as defined in the hotel management agreement between the Partnership and HRIL dated October 23, 2007. The Partnership also agreed to make a payment to Sonesta in the amount of $300,000 in the event that the Partnership sold the hotel for a purchase price in excess of $25,000,000. No payments were made in 2010 or 2009.
Per the terms of the note agreement, principal and accrued interest were due on September 1, 2010. Shortly after the due date, Sonesta contacted the Partnership, demanding payment of the outstanding balance. The Partnership asserted that the note had not matured due to its subordination to the MONY loan which had been extended to September 1, 2011. Prior to year end Sonesta filed a lawsuit against the Partnership for payment of all amounts due including interest from the original maturity date through year end at the default interest rate. The Partnership is vigorously defending its position and as such has recorded interest payable through year end at the rate of eight percent. Accrued interest as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $495,405 and $294,464, respectively.

Under the Hotel Lease, CSDC and the Partnership agreed to modify the rent structure on a temporary basis as follows:
| 1. | | The term “Temporary Adjustment Period” shall mean the period from October 23, 2007 through the earlier to occur of: (a) December 31, 2014, or (b) the date on which the interest of the Partnership under the hotel lease is sold or otherwise transferred to a third party that is not an affiliate of HRI. The term “Deferred Rent” shall mean the difference between the actual rent paid under the hotel lease during the Temporary Adjustment Period, and the amount of rent that would have been due if the temporary reductions had not occurred, plus interest at a rate equal to six percent per annum beginning in the year 2014; |
|
| 2. | | For the Temporary Adjustment Period, the Fixed Rent shall be as follows: (a) commencing on October 23, 2007 the Fixed Rent was reduced by $124,000 per year (the amounts the Partnership pays for Air Rights Rent and under the Corner Lot Lease and the Bilten Lease), which will result in a new Fixed Rent equal to $218,000, and (b) on January 1 of each year from 2009 through 2014, the Fixed Rent shall be increased by the lesser of (i) the product of multiplying the Fixed Rent by two and one half percent or (ii) the CPI adjustment as described in the hotel lease. After the Temporary Adjustment Period, the Fixed Rent will be restored to the amount that it would have been if the temporary reductions had not occurred; |
|
| 3. | | In lieu of the appraisal adjustments as set forth in the hotel lease, the adjustments required by that section shall be made pursuant to the following procedure. On each adjustment date, the average of the total Fixed Rent and Percentage Rent paid by the Partnership over the three year period prior to the adjustment date will be calculated. The Fixed Rent commencing on the adjustment date will be eighty percent of that average, and the Percentage Rent Threshold Level shall be recalculated as of the adjustment date dividing the new Fixed Rent by six percent; |
|
| 4. | | During the Temporary Adjustment Period, (a) the percentage used to calculate Percentage Rent shall be changed from six percent to five percent, (b) the Percentage Rent Threshold Level will be calculated on an annual basis by dividing the sum of $124,000 plus the Fixed Rent in effect for such year, by five percent, and (c) for purposes of calculating Percentage Rent, gross income shall include net revenues from telephone, but shall not include parking or garage related revenues and rent paid by the subtenants of the commercial space. After the Temporary Adjustment Period, the current Percentage Rent provisions of the hotel lease shall again apply, with the sole exception that the Percentage Rent Threshold Level shall be increased from $6,500,000 to $8,000.000; |
|
| 5. | | During the Temporary Adjustment Period only, the rent structure of the Hotel Lease does not include Revenue Sharing Rental; |

|
| 7. | | The sale participation option, whereby CSDC may share in any net proceeds of a sale or refinancing, is deleted; |
|

If the hotel and garage are sold by the Partnership for net proceeds of less than $25,000,000, in a bona fide, arms length transaction with an unaffiliated third party, then the obligation to pay the Deferred Rent shall terminate; and |

If, in any quarterly period before the Deferred Rent is repaid in full, there is insufficient net cash flow to make any portion of the Quarterly Deferred Rent Payment, then the portion of the Quarterly Deferred Rent Payment that the Partnership does not make shall be added to the Deferred Rent and a new amortization schedule for the remaining Quarterly Deferred Rent Payments shall be calculated based upon the number of payment periods remaining in the fifteen-year amortization as of that period. |
Parking Lease
On September 15, 1993, HRI and CSDC entered into a lease agreement for 150 parking spaces located in the Holmes Garage, adjacent to the hotel.

Under the hotel parking lease, the Partnership is required to pay fixed minimum rent and percentage rent and contribute to a capital improvements fund. The annual fixed minimum rent is $250,000, plus increases in the rent and taxes which CSDC must pay to MRIC under the ground lease between MRIC and CSDC. The annual percentage rent shall be 80% of the difference between (i) net garage revenue and (ii) the sum of the MRCI increases described above and $774,451, which amount will increase by 2.50% per year. Net garage revenue is essentially revenues from operation of the garage less taxes. The monthly deposit to the capital improvements fund is the lesser of (i) the difference between the net garage revenue less the sum of operating expenses and monthly fixed minimum rent or (ii) $2,000.
For the period from October 23, 2007 through the earlier of December 31, 2014, or the date on which the Partnership assigns its interest (the “Temporary Adjustment Period”) the CSDC fixed minimum rent will be reduced from $20,833 monthly to $17,464 monthly, plus the amount of any MRCI increases. After the Temporary Adjustment Period, the CSDC fixed minimum rent will be restored to the amount that it would have been if the temporary reductions had not occurred. The term “Deferred Rent” shall mean the difference between the actual rent paid under the hotel parking lease during the Temporary Adjustment Period, and the amount of rent that would have been due if the temporary reductions had not occurred, plus interest at a rate equal to 6% per annum beginning in the year 2014.
During the Temporary Adjustment Period, percentage rent will be calculated as follows: 50% multiplied by the difference between (i) gross garage revenue and (ii) the sum of operating costs, operating expenses, insurance premiums paid by the Partnership, real estate taxes, the monthly capital improvement fund deposit, fixed minimum rent and a base management fee of $24,000 (escalated 2.5% per year).
All unpaid Deferred Rent will become due and payable upon the sale of the hotel and garage by the Partnership; provided, however that such unpaid Deferred Rent will be paid only to the extent that the net proceeds of such sale (gross proceeds minus transaction expenses of not more than 5%) exceed $25,000,000. If the hotel and garage are sold by the Partnership for net proceeds of less than $25,000,000, in a bona fide, arms length transaction with an unaffiliated third party, then the obligation to pay the Deferred Rent shall terminate.
In the event that the Partnership has not sold the hotel and garage by the year 2028, all interest on the Deferred Rent that has accrued from 2014 to 2028 will be added to the Deferred Rent, and the recalculated Deferred Rent will become due and payable as follows: the Partnership will pay the Deferred Rent plus interest at the rate of 6% per annum, in equal quarterly payments of principal and interest, over fifteen years, from the net cash flow that the Partnership would have otherwise collected. If, in any period before the Deferred Rent is repaid in full, there is insufficient net cash flow to make any portion of the quarterly deferred rent payment, then the portion of the quarterly deferred rent payment that the Partnership does not make shall be added to the deferred rent and a new amortization schedule for the remaining quarterly deferred rent payments will be calculated based upon the number of payment periods remaining in the 15-year amortization as of that period.
