ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain matters disclosed herein may be forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including the facilities
utilization, costs associated with maintaining the operations, liquidity
issues, and other risks. You can identify these statements by such
forward-looking words as "may," "will," "expect," "plan" and similar
words. Actual strategies and results in the future
may differ materially from those management currently expects.
Forward-looking statements represent management's judgment as of the
current date. The Company disclaims, however, any intent or obligation
to update any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q.
RESULTS OF OPERATION
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 AND 2002
The Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites room revenues increased 13.7% in the
three months ended March 31, 2003 relative to the comparable period in
2002 (not taking into consideration the room revenue generated by the
Travelodge property). The Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites' average occupancy
percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was 78.4%, an
increase of 9.13% relative to the comparable period in 2002. This
increase is due largely in part to the booking of a consulting group which
started staying in the Huntington area in December, 2002. This group is
renting approximately 300 room nights per month. This group will be in
Huntington for several months, but the number of rooms they will rent
cannot be determined due to the changing of their consulting engagement.
The 22.3% decrease in food and beverage revenues in the quarter ended
March 31, 2003 relative to the comparable period in 2002, is largely due
to the complimentary meals provided to hotel guests as an incentive to
stay at the property.
Total cost and expenses have decreased 14.4% primarily due to taxes
and depreciation attributed to the Travelodge property, which was sold in
July, 2002. In addition, an overall decrease in expenses is related to
the closing and sale of the Travelodge property.
The gain on sale of assets for $363,963 (included in discontinued
operation amount) was generated from the sale of the majority of rental
properties owned by Uptowner Inns, Inc. The remaining rental activity of
the company are not material to the financial statements. Rental assets
are less than 10% of total assets, rental revenues are less than 10% of
total revenue, rental expenses are less than 10% of total expenses, and
net rental income is less than 10% of net income.
- 9 -
RESULTS OF OPERATION, CON'T.
No provision for income tax expense for the three months ended March
31, 2003 is reflected due to the large amount of net operating loss
carryforward ($ 1,770,809) to be applied to taxable income, which has been
provided for in previous periods and included in deferred tax assets.
NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 AND 2002
Room revenues have decreased by 5.2% in the nine months ended
March 31, 2003 relative to the comparable period in 2002. Food and
Beverage revenues have decreased by 31.7% in the nine months ended
March 31, 2003 relative to the comparable period in 2002. These
differences, as well as the variances in expenses, are due to the
explanations above for the three month period ending March 31, 2003.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity, as measured by current assets divided by current
liabilities, has decreased from 2.83 at June 30, 2002 to 2.40 at March 31,
2003. This decline is a result of selling the Travelodge property in July
2002. On June 30, 2002, this property was being classified as Property
Held for Sale in the current asset section of the balance sheet. Existing
loans with balances totaling $1,633,521 as of June 30, 2002 were paid off
upon closing.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The company's cash has increased 29.5% for the nine months ended
March 31, 2003. The increase is due to the sale of the majority of the
company's rental property. There is also a reduction in liabilities due
to the debt that was retired upon selling the majority of rental
properties.
A Letter of Intent between Uptowner Inns, Inc. and Huntington Area
Development Corporation was signed on November 16, 2001, for the purchase
of 2.2 acres of land. The company planned on constructing a hotel on the
site. The company made a $10,000 deposit on the property. The Purchaser
had the right and option for a period of 45 days commencing on August 19,
2002, to enter the property to conduct physical inspections. At the
expiration of the inspection period, the company paid the sum of $50,000
as an additional deposit. The projected operational date was set at July,
2004, before problems were found with the land fill at the construction
site. In February, 2003, Uptowner Inns, Inc. pulled out of the project.
In addition to the $60,000 deposit, Uptowner Inns, Inc. had incurred other
expenses related to the property for approximately $99,0000, and also lost
the $50,000 they paid to Holiday Inn for the franchise agreement. On
February 19, 2003, Uptowner Inns, Inc. received notice from the Huntington
Municipal Development Authority that a law suit had been filed. See
"Contingency" in notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information on the law suit.
- 10 -
CAPITAL RESOURCES, CON'T.
In February, 2003, the company spent $200,000 acquiring .688 acre &
a 10' easement for additional expansion. There is no current commitments
or obligations that exist for this property.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the company
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of the company's management, including the company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of the company's disclosure controls and procedures
pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the
Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely
alerting them to material information relating to the company (including
its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the company's
periodic SEC filings.
- 11 -
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On February 19, 2003, the Huntington Municipal Development Authority
instituted a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cabell County, West Virginia
against the company alleging breach of contract-failure to purchase,
breach of contract-confidentiality, bad faith, and intentional
interference with business relations. The Huntington Municipal
Development Authority is seeking judgment against the company for general,
compensatory, incidental and consequential damages caused by breach of
contract enumerated above, in an approximate amount of $5,560,000 together
with pre-judgment interest. The company filed its answer and counterclaim
on March 11, 2003, denying the allegations contained in the complaint. In
its counterclaim, the company admits that, based upon express
representations made by or on behalf of the Plaintiff, the parties entered
into the agreement. However the company alleges Plaintiff breached its
obligations contained in the agreement and further negligently and/or
fraudulently misrepresented material facts and concealed information from
Uptowner for the express purpose of inducing Uptowner to enter into the
agreement, and therefore, the language contained in the agreement is not
controlling. The company seeks damages in the amount of $2,500,000 or an
amount that will fully and fairly compensate Uptowner Inns, Inc. as a
result of the acts and omission of the Plaintiff. A pre-trial conference
is scheduled for September 14, 2004 and a trial date is scheduled for
September 21, 2004.
