SUPER 8 MOTELS TEXAS, LTD. 	NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows. Depreciation Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives by the straight-line method. Accelerated methods of depreciation are used for tax purposes. Federal Income Taxes Federal income taxes (benefits) are not reflected in the financial statements as the partners individually report their distributive shares of the taxable income or loss of the Partnership. Fiscal Year The Partnership's fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest December 31. Fiscal years 1998 and 1997 are comprised of fifty-two and fifty-three week periods, respectively. NOTE B - PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT The Partnership was formed under the laws of the State of Texas in September 1979. The Partnership was organized to develop and operate nonspecified "budget" hotels in Texas. Allocation of cash distributions and income (losses) are 99% and 1%, respectively, to limited partners and general partners. The general partners have an option which expires in 1999 to purchase a special 20% limited partner interest for $500,000. Franchise Fees Effective June 30, 1994, the partnership received approval from Ramada Franchise Systems, Inc. to operate the facility as a Ramada Limited hotel for a term of fifteen years subject to Ramada having the right to terminate the license without cause effective on the fifth anniversary of the license. Prior to June 30, 1994, the Partnership paid to Super 8 Motels, Inc. monthly fees equal to 4% of its gross room revenue and contributed an additional 1% of its gross room revenues to an advertising fund administered by the franchisor. Effective June 30, 1994, the Partnership will pay to Ramada Franchise Systems, Inc. monthly fees equal to 3.5% of its gross room revenue for the first twelve months from the effective date of the Ramada license and 4% of its gross room revenue beginning in the thirteenth month through the balance of the license term. In addition, the partnership must contribute 4.5% of its gross room revenue to Ramada Inter-National Association for marketing, reservation systems and other assessments. Franchise fees were $34,740 and $33,135 for the three months ended April 3, 1998 and March 28, 1997, respectively. NOTE C - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Management Fees An affiliate of one of the former General Partners managed the hotel for the Partnership until May 31, 1989. The fee for this service was 5% of gross operating revenues from Partnership operations. This management fee was payable monthly; however, three-fifths of the management fee was deferred until receipt by the Limited Partners of a cumulative 10% per annum pre-tax return on their adjusted capital contributions. During 1994 this obligation was written off because it was determined that it was unlikely to require payment in the future. On June 1, 1989, an affiliate of one of the current General Partners assumed management of the hotel. For its services, the management company receives a base management fee equal to the greater of three percent (3%) of the Gross Revenues of the hotel or $36,000 per year. In addition to the base management fee, the management company receives an incentive management fee equal to ten percent (10%) of Gross Operating Profit. For the three months ended April 3, 1998 and March 28, 1997, management fees were $23,603 and $22,974, respectively. Additionally, accounting service fees paid to another affiliate of a general partner were $9,750 and $7,000 for the three months ended April 3, 1998 and March 28, 1997, respectively. Expense reimbursements to a general partner for expenses incurred were $3,350 and $5,442 for the three months ended April 3, 1998 and March 28, 1997, respectively. NOTE D - SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER The Partnership's revenues for the three months ended April 3, 1998 and March 28, 1997 include amounts from a single customer of approximately $40,230 and $62,199, respectively. NOTE E - MORTGAGE PAYABLE In April 1994, the partnership entered into a mortgage note agreement to borrow $450,000 from a financial institution. The proceeds of this loan were used to complete the renovation of the facility to comply with the Ramada license requirements. Under terms of the agreement, the partnership is required to make monthly principal installments of $3,750 and interest on the outstanding principal balance at 2% above the financial institution?s prime lending rate. The mortgage note is collateralized by the hotel's property and equipment. As of April 3, 1998, the outstanding principal balance was $235,199, with a current portion of $45,000. All unpaid principal is due in 2004. The payee may demand payment of the outstanding balance of the note on the six year, seven year, eight year and nine year anniversary dates of the note. 	SUPER 8 MOTELS TEXAS, LTD. Item 2.MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Opinion of Management In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of April 3, 1998 and March 28, 1997, and the results of operation and its cash flows for the periods then ended. Liquidity The General Partners believe that the Partnership's liquidity, defined as its ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its cash needs, is satisfactory. The Partnership's primary source of liquidity is its revenue from operations, the cash provided from the sale of its restaurant in 1990 and the proceeds of the mortgage note incurred to finance the renovation of the hotel. The Partnership actively negotiated with the lessee of the restaurant building to sell the building to such lessee. Such sale took place on September 14, 1990. The contract sale price was $500,000. This sale provided a cash infusion to the property of $445,000 which was used to pay off delinquent taxes of $137,605, current taxes on the restaurant through September 14, 1990 of $14,160 and a $22,000 bank loan secured by the lease. As of April 3, 1998, the Partnership had cash and other current assets in the amount of $418,754 compared to $168,760 at March 28, 1997. Current liabilities were $190,199 at April 3, 1998, compared to $172,860 at March 28, 1997. Capital Resources The partnership spent approximately $24,719, $62,636 and $6,606 in capital improvements to the hotel's facilities in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The partnership has spent $8,856 in capital improvements for the hotel during the first three months of 1998. The partnership expects to spend an additional $175,000 in capital expenditures during the balance of this year if cash flow is available to fund the expenditures. The hotel is now operating in full compliance with the Ramada Limited standards. Results of Operations The Partnership's hotel average occupancy rate for the three month period ended April 3, 1998, was 87.7% compared to 87.9% for the three month period ended March 28, 1997. The average daily room rate for the three month period ended April 3, 1998, was $40.53 compared to $38.24 for the three month period ended March 28,1997. Room Revenue for the three month period ended April 3, 1998 was $407,410 compared to $385,279 for the three month period ended March 28, 1997. The airline employee and airline related lodging resulted in daily room rentals of approximately 50.2% of the hotel's 126 rooms for the three month period ended April 3, 1998, compared to 54.0% for the three month period ended March 28, 1997.
