Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Members of CWI‑HRI French Quarter Hotel Property, LLC and Subsidiary

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CWI‑HRI French Quarter Hotel Property, LLC and Subsidiary (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, of capital and of cash flows for the periods ending December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America as established by the Auditing Standards Board (United States) and in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. CWI‑HRI French Quarter Hotel Property, LLC and Subsidiary is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CWI‑HRI French Quarter Hotel Property, LLC and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization and Business

CWI‑HRI French Quarter Hotel Property, LLC (the “Company”) was formed on July 27, 2011 for the purpose of owning the property and operating, managing, financing, leasing, renovating, and improving the structures, buildings and improvements on the land located at 800 Iberville Street, New Orleans, Louisiana.

The members of the Company are CWI New Orleans Hotel, LLC (“CWI Member”), and Guitar Partners, LLC (“800 Canal Member”) (collectively, the “Members”). In September 2011, the Members contributed cash and assets to the Company (the “Transaction”) and their participation percentages are 80.39% and 19.61%, respectively. The building is a hotel comprised of 254 units with 10,000 square feet of meeting space, and approximately 22,000 square feet of commercial retail space located on real property leased by the Company from Canal Street Development Corporation (“CSDC”). French Quarter Hotel Operator, Inc. (the “Operator”) is a taxable REIT subsidiary that is wholly owned by the Company.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

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 years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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.

Basis of Consolidation

The financial statements of the Company are presented and consolidated with the financial statements of the Operator, a wholly owned subsidiary that the Company controls. The Company is deemed to control another company either by ownership of a majority voting interest in the other company’s equity or by incurring a contractual obligation to provide additional financial support to the other company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.

Investment in Hotel

Investment in the hotel is reported inclusive of building, improvements, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment which was $46,821,288 less accumulated depreciation of $3,852,334 at December 31, 2013 and $45,983,300 less accumulated depreciation of $1,827,159 at December 31, 2012. Major additions and improvements are capitalized at cost, 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 of the building, improvements, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment are 30 years, 11 years, and 5 years, respectively.

CWI‑HRI FRENCH QUARTER HOTEL PROPERTY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 real estate 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 2013 or 2012.

Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs

Costs related to the mortgage financing are amortized over the loan term on a straight‑line basis which is not materially different from the results that would have been obtained from using the effective interest rate method. Costs related to the Canyon Loan were being amortized over the three year loan term, and costs related to the Wells Fargo Loan are being amortized over the five year loan term.

Other Assets

Included in Other assets are prepaid expenses, deposits, inventory, and prepaid franchise fees. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, Prepaid expenses totaled $140,263 and $165,317, respectively. Deposits totaled $76,215 and $65,775 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Inventory totaled $57,366 and $54,388 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and consisted of food, beverage and supplies. Inventories are stated at lower of cost (first‑in, first‑out) or market. At both December 31, 2013 and 2012, prepaid franchise fees net of amortization totaled $75,067 and $78,267, respectively. Amortization of the franchise fees began at the start of the franchise term in May 2012.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets relate to in place leases, which amounted to $188,626 and $188,626 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are amortized over the remaining life of the respective leases. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $25,599 and $16,644, respectively. Based on the intangible asset recorded at December 31, 2013, scheduled annual net amortization of intangibles for each of the next five years is scheduled to be $7,278.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company uses an interest rate swap agreement to mitigate the economic impact of changes in interest rates. The interest rate swap agreement meets the definition of a derivative instrument under Accounting Standards Codification 815‑10‑05‑4, Derivative Instruments and Hedge Accounting. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized as a gain or loss.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue consists of hotel revenues received in advance and key money received from the franchisor, Hyatt‑Franchising, L.L.C. (“Hyatt”). The key money received from Hyatt will be recognized over the franchise term and included in Other revenue on the consolidated statements of operations.

Rental Income

Rental income is recognized as rentals become due. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned. All leases between the Company and tenants of the property are operating leases.

CWI‑HRI FRENCH QUARTER HOTEL PROPERTY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions of the Operator reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus a deferred tax benefit related to the difference between the timing of revenue recognition of the key money for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax asset represents the future tax return consequences of the difference. Changes in the deferred tax asset are included in Income tax benefit (expense) on the Consolidated statements of operations.

No provision or benefit for income taxes for the Company has been included in these financial statements. Taxable income or loss passes through to, and is reportable by, the members individually.

FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes addresses the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized by an entity’s financial statements and prescribes a threshold for recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We continually evaluate expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings.

Reclassifications

Certain accounts in the prior‑year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current‑year financial statements.

Note 3. Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash balances in banks located in California and Louisiana. The deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per bank. As of December 31, 2013, the uninsured cash balances amounted to $1,684,624. As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s cash balances were fully insured.

Note 4. Members’ Capital Contributions

During 2011, CWI Member made a cash capital contribution totaling $12,300,000 in exchange for an 80.39% participation percentage. During 2011, 800 Canal Member made a capital contribution of property to the Company with a deemed value of $3,000,000 in exchange for a 19.61% participation percentage.

Note 5. Hyatt Hotel Franchise Agreement

The Operator entered into a franchise agreement with Hyatt on September 2, 2011 for the establishment and operation of a franchise system hotel. As the franchisee, the Company accepts the non‑exclusive right and obligation to convert and operate the hotel in accordance with the agreement’s terms and agrees to comply strictly with the hotel system’s details. The agreement expires 25 years from the opening date, which was May 15, 2012.

Application Fee

The Company paid Hyatt a non‑refundable application fee of $100,000. If additional guest rooms are added to the hotel during the franchise term, the Company must pay Hyatt an additional application fee equal to $300 per additional guest room.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Key Money

Hyatt has contributed to the Company a total of $4,000,000 (“Key Money”), subject to the terms of repayment indicated in the franchise agreement. If the franchise agreement terminates for any reason before 25 years from the opening date, then the Company shall pay to Hyatt any unamortized Key Money. Upon the commencement of the hotel being operated as a Hyatt hotel in May 2012, the Company began amortizing the Key Money received. The Key Money is included net of amortization in Deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets.

Centralized Service Costs

The Company will be charged monthly for its equitably allocable share of centralized services costs attributable to the centralized services in which the hotel participates. Centralized service costs are included in Marketing expenses and Rooms expense on the Consolidated statements of operations.

Note 6. Wyndham Hotel Franchise Agreement

As a result of the Transaction, the Company entered into a new franchise agreement with the then‑existing franchisor, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, LLC (“Wyndham”), on September 3, 2011 for the continuous operation of an upscale and luxury full‑service and select service hotel. As the franchisee, the Company was licensed and obligated to maintain and operate the hotel as a Wyndham hotel in a manner compliant with the agreement. The agreement was scheduled to expire on September 3, 2026, however, the franchise agreement was terminated in May 2012 when the hotel completed its renovation and began operating under the Hyatt franchise agreement. Upon termination of the Wyndham franchise agreement in May 2012, the Company paid a termination fee of $1,597,835. This was included in the purchase price allocation as an assumed liability as anticipated at the time of acquisition.

Note 7. Intangible Liability

Intangible liability is comprised of a rent intangible resulting from the ground lease with CSDC, which is being amortized over the lease term of 99 years. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the rent intangible amounted to $5,727,160 and $5,786,392, respectively, and is recorded net of accumulated amortization of $136,778 and $77,546, respectively.

Based on the intangible liability recorded at December 31, 2013, scheduled annual net amortization of intangibles for each of the next five years is scheduled to be $59,232.

Note 9. Income Taxes

The Operator is a taxable REIT subsidiary which is subject to corporate federal income taxes in accordance with current authoritative guidance. During 2013, 2012, and the period ending December 31, 2011, the Company recognized federal income tax expense of $96,965, $326,082, and $171,881, respectively, and state income tax expense (benefit) of $(16,769), $70,627, and $43,934, respectively.

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Operator recorded a deferred tax asset of $1,473,522 and $1,558,376, respectively, resulting from the Key Money received. The deferred tax asset was calculated for 2013 and 2012 using an effective tax rate of 39.4% and 40.0%, respectively. No valuation allowance was recorded against its deferred income tax asset at December 31, 2013 or 2012 because it is more likely than not to be realized in future periods. In evaluating the Operator’s ability to realize its deferred income tax assets, the Operator considers all available positive and negative evidence, including operating results, ongoing tax planning, and forecasts of future taxable income on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. The deferred tax expense (benefit) during 2013, 2012, and the period ending December 31, 2011 as a result of the change in the deferred tax asset was $84,854, $(1,155,001), and $(403,375), respectively.

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. that is designated to hedge the risk of changes in interest payments under the Wells Fargo Loan caused by changes in LIBOR. The swaps were issued at market terms so that they had no fair value at their inception. Under the swap agreement, the Company receives interest at LIBOR and pays interest at a fixed rate of 1.767% on a notional amount that equals the outstanding amount of principal outstanding on the Wells Fargo Loan. The carrying amounts of the swap has been adjusted to its fair value, which because of changes in forecasted levels of LIBOR, resulted in reporting a liability at the end of 2013 in the amount of $389,039.
