PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS
--------
General Development of Business
- -------------------------------
Super 8 Motels II, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership which
was organized under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of
California on May 7, 1979. The Managing General Partner of the Partnership is
Grotewohl Management Services, Inc., a California corporation wholly-owned by
Philip B. Grotewohl. The Associate General Partner of the Partnership is
Robert J. Dana. The Associate General Partner does not have general
responsibility in connection with the management of the business affairs of the
Partnership. The Managing General Partner and the Associate General Partner
are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "General Partners."
Through two intrastate offerings of units of limited partnership interest
in the Partnership (the "Units"), the Partnership sold 7,000 Units at a price
of $1,000 per Unit.
The net proceeds of the two offerings were expended for the acquisition and
development of two properties located in Santa Rosa, California, and Ontario,
California. A fee interest was acquired in the Ontario property and a
leasehold interest was acquired in the Santa Rosa property. Motel operations
commenced on November 12, 1980 at the Santa Rosa property, and on May 29, 1981
at the Ontario property. The Ontario property was sold on February 14, 1990.
There is hereby incorporated by reference herein the information regarding
the Partnership's Santa Rosa property contained in Part I, Item 2 of this
report under the caption "Properties."
Narrative Description of Business
- ---------------------------------
The Partnership's business is to operate its motel property and to engage
in any and all general business activities related or incidental thereto. The
Partnership's motel is operated pursuant to a franchise originally acquired
from Super 8 Motels, Inc. through Super 8 Management Corporation as a
subfranchisor, under the name "Super 8 Motel." The current subfranchisor is
Brown & Grotewohl.
Super 8 Motels, Inc. is a South Dakota corporation which was organized in
1972. Its first franchised motel commenced operation in 1974 and, as of October
31, 1996, a total of 1,464 franchised motels having an aggregate of 88,965
guest rooms were in operation. On April 30, 1993, Super 8 Motels, Inc. became
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hospitality Franchise Systems, Inc. ("HFS"). In
addition to Super 8 Motels, HFS is also the franchisor of hospitality
properties under the Howard Johnson, Ramada and Days Inn tradenames.
- 2 -
Motels franchised by Super 8 Motels, Inc. are budget motels in that they
offer room rates near the lower end of the room rate scale in each area in
which they are located. Such lower rates are made possible by the elimination
of certain features present in many higher-priced facilities, such as meeting
rooms and large lobbies; by not operating restaurants or cocktail lounges in
connection with the motels; and by utilizing uniform construction methods
(adapted only slightly to fit specific locales) which have been developed by
Super 8 Motels, Inc., and a standardized design which facilitates maintenance
and minimizes overhead expense.
Super 8 Motels offer accommodations at the upper end, in terms of
facilities and prices, of the budget segment of the lodging industry.
Generally, Super 8 Motels offer larger rooms and higher quality furniture and
furnishings than motels franchised under the tradenames Motel 6, Regal 8 and
E-Z 8. Rates in the Super 8 Motels tend to exceed those offered by the chains
mentioned above.
By terms of the franchise agreement with Super 8 Motels, Inc., the
Partnership pays monthly franchise fees equal to 4% of its gross room revenues
and contributes an additional 1% of its gross room revenues to a fund
administered by Super 8 Motels, Inc. to finance the national advertising
program. The Partnership has no equity or other interest in Super 8 Motels,
Inc.
Brown & Grotewohl (the "Manager"), a California general partnership which
is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, directs the operation of the
Partnership's motel. The Manager supervises and directs the Partnership's
employees having direct responsibility for the operation of the motel,
establishes room rates, and directs the promotional activities of the
Partnership's employees. It directs the purchase of replacement equipment and
supplies, maintenance activity and the engagement or selection of all vendors,
suppliers and independent contractors. The motel staff, under the supervision
of the Manager, is responsible for, among other things, performing all service,
administrative and bookkeeping duties in connection with the motel, including
all collections and all disbursements to be paid out of funds generated by such
operations or otherwise supplied by the Partnership.
The Partnership employs (on a part-time basis) one secretarial employee,
four Partnership and motel administrative employees, one marketing employee,
and five accounting employees at its Sacramento, California office. Included
in the above list is David P. Grotewohl, son of Philip Grotewohl, whom the
Partnership employs as Director of Operations and as an attorney. Mark
Grotewohl, son of Philip Grotewohl, is employed as Director of Marketing. Julie
Grotewohl, daughter of Philip Grotewohl, was employed as the Regional Director
of Sales through August.
Santa Rosa, California

The motel located in Santa Rosa, California, which consists of 100 guest
rooms, commenced operations on November 12, 1980. The average monthly

The Partnership employs (on a full-time or part-time basis) one manager,
five desk clerks, ten laundry and housekeeping employees, and one maintenance
worker at the Santa Rosa motel.
The Santa Rosa motel draws its business from a variety of sources,
including corporate travelers, vacationers and tourists, convention attendees
and sports teams. The Santa Rosa motel has no single customer the loss of
which would have a materially adverse effect on the motel's operations.
Item 2. PROPERTIES
----------
On January 8, 1980, the Partnership acquired by long-term lease a parcel of
approximately three acres of unimproved land located at 2632 N. Cleveland
Avenue, Santa Rosa, California, adjacent to U.S. Highway 101. Effective May 1,
1981, the lease was amended to delete an area comprising approximately 32,600
square feet from the lease. A restaurant facility was subsequently built on
this deleted portion.
The term of the lease extends until August 31, 2015, with a possible
extension of the term for up to an additional 15 years through exercise by the
Partnership of three five-year renewal options. Base rental payments are
subject to adjustment at three-year intervals to reflect changes in the
Consumer Price Index. Effective September 1, 1994 through August 31, 1997, the
base rent is $7,783 per month. Such rent is net to the lessor of property
taxes and assessments, utilities and other expenses relating to the land.
In April 1980, construction of the Partnership's 100-room motel was
commenced on the site. The motel opened for operations immediately after
construction was completed on November 12, 1980.

The Units are not freely transferable and no public market for the Units
has developed or is expected to develop.
Holders
- -------
As of December 12, 1996, a total of 1,112 investors ("Limited Partners")
held Units in the Partnership.
Distributions
- -------------
Cash distributions are made on a quarterly basis from Cash Available for
Distribution, defined in the Partnership's Certificate and Agreement of Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") as Cash Flow, less adequate cash
reserves for obligations of the Partnership for which there is no provision.
Cash Flow means cash funds provided from operations of the Partnership, without
deduction for depreciation, but after deducting cash funds used to pay or
provide for the payment of debt service, capital improvements and replacements
and the operating expenses of the Partnership's property. See Item 11 hereof
for a discription of the manner in which such distributions are allocated
between the General Partners as a group and the Limited Partners as a group.
In addition, the Partnership will promptly distribute net proceeds of the
sale and refinancing of its motel properties to the General Partners and the
Limited Partners, to the extent such proceeds are not reinvested in the
acquisition of additional properties. See Item 11 hereof for a discription of
the manner in which such distributions are allocated between the General
Partners as a group and the Limited Partners as a group.
The following distribution to the Limited Partners was the only
distribution made during the two fiscal years October 1, 1994 to September 30,
1996.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
------------------------------------------------------------
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- -------------------------
Liquidity
- ---------
The Managing General Partner believes that the Partnership's liquidity,
defined as its ability to generate sufficient amounts of cash to satisfy its
cash needs, is adequate. Current assets of $645,390 exceed current liabilities
of $99,153 by $ 546,237 as of September 30, 1996 as compared with $414,651 for
the same date in the previous fiscal year. And as reflected in its Statement
of Cash Flows, the Partnership's cash and temporary investments have increased
in each of the last three fiscal years. After the second quarter of the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1992, the Managing General Partner suspended the
Limited Partners' quarterly distributions to preserve cash. In August 1996,
the Managing General Partner authorized the resumption of distributions at a
modest $3 per Unit per fiscal quarter.
The General Partners have a reserve target equal to 5% of "Adjusted Capital
Contributions," or $174,716 (5% of $3,494,317). "Adjusted Capital
Contributions" is computed as the original amount raised ($7,000,000) less the
$259,154 returned to the Limited Partners in 1982 from the sale of excess
Ontario land, and less the $3,246,529 returned to the Limited Partners from the
1990 Ontario motel sale. The $546,237 excess of current assets over current
liabilities exceeds the General Partners' reserve target. The General Partners
have decided to maintain the higher operating reserve pending improvement in
the Santa Rosa lodging market.
The Partnership's primary source of liquidity is its gross revenues from
operations. As noted below, the Partnership has a positive cash flow from
motel operations. In addition, the Partnership's equity in its Santa Rosa
motel, which is presently unencumbered, would provide a potential source of
liquidity through financing in the event the Partnership's liquidity were
impaired. There can be no assurance, however, that the Partnership could
borrow against such equity on favorable terms should additional liquidity be
required.
Capital Resources
- -----------------
The Partnership owns and operates one motel property, a 100-room lodging
facility located on leased land in Santa Rosa, California.
The Partnership currently has no material commitments for capital
expenditures. Its motel property is in full operation, and no further property
acquisitions or extraordinary capital improvements are contemplated. Except as
described below, the General Partners are aware of no material trends or
changes with respect to the mix or relative cost of the Partnership's capital
resources.
Working capital is expected to be generated by revenues from operations.
- 9 -
During the fiscal year covered by this report, the Partnership capitalized
$36,983 of the $57,971 spent on the refurbishment of its motel and furnishings.
Included in the capitalized items were $11,148 for a replacement central office
computer, $8,149 for a replacement washing machine, $6,817 for new backflow
devices required by the City of Santa Rosa under the EPA's administration of
the Clean Water Act, $6,088 for replacement room carpets, $2,577 for a
replacement clothes dryer and $2,205 for replacement television sets. The
non-capitalized renovations of $20,987 included expenditures for lamps and
light fixtures, drapes, air-conditioning units, mattresses, chairs, outside
building trim repairs and landscaping. The General Partners anticipate that
approximately 3% of gross room revenues will be spent on replacement and
renovation during the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997. The Managing
General Partner intends that all of these expenditure will be made from cash
flow from operations or, if such cash flow is insufficient, from the
Partnership's cash reserves.
New Accounting Standards
- ------------------------
SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, requires the Partnership to disclose
information about potential impairment to the value of long-lived assets. The
Partnership is not required to adopt and does not currently plan to adopt SFAS
No. 121 until its fiscal year ending September 30, 1997. The Partnership does
not expect to make any disclosures about impairment of long-lived assets under
SFAS No. 121.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Partnership's Combined Financial Results
- ----------------------------------------
During the year covered by this report as compared to the previous fiscal
year, the Partnership achieved a $38,502 (or 4.5%) increase in total income,
due primarily to a $26,920 (or 3.2%) increase in guest room revenue. The
increase in guest room revenue is discussed under the Santa Rosa Motel caption
below.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the previous
fiscal year, the Partnership achieved a $23,219 (or 2.8%) increase in total
income, due primarily to a $20,821 (or 2.6%) increase in guest room revenue.
This increase in guest room revenue is discussed below.
During the year covered by this report as compared to the previous fiscal
year, the Partnership achieved a $31,839 (or 3.9%) reduction in total expenses,
due primarily to the $25,548 (or 3.7%) reduction in motel operating expenses.
This decrease in motel operating expenses is discussed below.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the previous
fiscal year, the Partnership achieved a $39,434 (or 4.6%) reduction in total
expenses, due primarily to the $36,685 (or 5.1%) reduction in motel operating
expenses. This decrease in motel operating expenses is discussed below.

in the financial statements, this amount is the best indicator of the annual
change in the amount, if any, available for distribution to the Limited
Partners. This calculation is reconciled to the financial statements in the
following table.
Reconciliation of Partnership Cash Flow (included in the chart above) to
Net Income as shown on the Statements of Operations (in the financial
statements) is as follows:

Net Income $(31,564) $31,089 $101,430
======== ======== ========
During the fiscal year covered by this report as compared to the previous
fiscal year, the Partnership's Santa Rosa motel achieved an increase in its
guest room revenue through an increase in its average daily room rate. This
increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in overall room demand.
This result was achieved by selling more rooms to the higher-priced leisure
market segment and fewer rooms to the corporate, government, group and
discount-market segments.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the previous
fiscal year, the Partnership's Santa Rosa motel achieved an increase in its
guest room revenue by achieving an increase in the average daily room rate,
which was slightly offset by a decrease in the occupancy rate. The higher room
rate was achieved through increased leisure guest rooms sold while all other
market segments declined slightly.
- 11 -
During the fiscal year covered by this report as compared to the previous
fiscal year, the Partnership's Santa Rosa motel achieved a 2.6% reduction in
total expenditures and debt service while the average occupancy declined 2.0%.
The Partnership's Santa Rosa motel achieved a $4,866 reduction in expenditures
for renovations and additions to fixed assets and $5,241 in front desk wages &
salaries, which was partially offset by a $7,264 increase in utility costs.
Property taxes were reduced by $17,079 due to the favorable resolution of an
assessment appeal for the years 1994 through 1996. The Partnership received a
refund of $15,893 for prior tax years and a reduced assessment for current and
future tax years.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the previous
fiscal year, the Partnership's Santa Rosa motel achieved a 2.6% reduction in
total expenditures and debt service while the average occupancy declined 2.7%.
In accordance with the cost-cutting program instituted by the Managing General
Partner, the property was able to achieve comparative savings of $19,341 in
housekeeping wages and $6,620 in maintenance wages. A non-recurring decline in
comparative phone system costs of $7,263 was offset by an $18,091 increase in
additions to fixed assets.
Future Trends
- -------------
The Managing General Partner believes that the adverse conditions in the
Santa Rosa lodging market, while somewhat eased in the last year, will
continue to have a negative impact on the Partnership's profitability in the
near term. Although there can be no assurance in this regard, analysis of
economic growth trends and planned hotel and motel construction leads the
Managing General Partner to believe that the Santa Rosa economy will eventually
absorb the existing supply of motel rooms.
The Managing General Partner expects the Partnership's occupancy
percentages (and thus revenues and profitability) to benefit from a continued
economic recovery in the local and California economies. The Managing General
Partner anticipates lower occupancy rates and perhaps lower room rates in the
event of an economic downturn. The Managing General Partner believes that
competitive conditions in the Santa Rosa market are such as to restrict the
Partnership's ability, in the short run, to increase its room rates to
compensate for inflation. The cost-cutting program instituted in the first
part of the 1994 calendar year will continue to be enforced, but in the future
will result in lower savings on a comparative basis as cost inflation and
replacement requirements raise future costs.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners
Super 8 Motels II, Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Super 8 Motels II, Ltd., a
California limited partnership, as of September 30, 1996 and 1995 and the
related statements of operations, partners' equity and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended September 30, 1996. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as 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 financial position of Super 8 Motels II, Ltd. as of
September 30, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1996, in

SUPER 8 MOTELS II, LTD.
(A California Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - THE PARTNERSHIP
- ------------------------
Super 8 Motels II, Ltd., is a limited partnership organized under California
law on May 7, 1979, to acquire and operate motel properties in Santa Rosa and
Ontario, California. The Santa Rosa Motel was opened in November, 1980, and
the Ontario Motel was opened in May, 1981. The Ontario Motel property was sold
in February, 1990. The Partnership grants credit to customers, substantially
all of which are local businesses in Santa Rosa.
The Managing General Partner of the Partnership is Grotewohl Management
Services, Inc., the sole shareholder and officer of which is Philip B.
Grotewohl. The Associate General Partner of the Partnership is Robert J. Dana.
The net income or net loss of the Partnership is allocated 1% to the General
Partners and 99% to the Limited Partners. Net income and distributions per
partnership unit are based upon 7,000 units outstanding. All partnership units
are owned by the Limited Partners.
The Partnership agreement requires that the Partnership maintain reserves for
normal repairs, replacements, working capital and contingencies in an amount of
at least 5% of adjusted capital contributions ($174,716 at September 30, 1996).
As of September 30, 1996, the Partnership had a combined balance in cash and
temporary investments of $614,405.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------------
Items of Partnership income are passed through to the individual partners for
income tax purposes, along with any income tax credits. Therefore, no federal
or California income taxes are provided for in the financial statements of the
Partnership. Since the Partnership has a fiscal year-end other than the
majority of the partners, the Partnership is required annually to make a
payment to the Internal Revenue Service based on the prior year's income.
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
computed using the following estimated useful lives and methods:
DESCRIPTION METHODS USEFUL LIVES
Capital improvements 200% declining balance 7-20 years
and straight-line
Buildings 150% declining balance 10-25 years
and straight-line
Furniture and equipment 200% declining balance 5-7 years
and straight-line
Costs incurred in connection with maintenance and repair are charged to
expense. Major renewals and betterments that materially prolong the life of
assets are capitalized.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual
results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 - CASH AND TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS
- ---------------------------------------
Cash and temporary investments as of September 30, 1996 and 1995 consist of the
following:
1996 1995
---------- ----------
Cash in bank, non-interest bearing $ 35,070 $ 36,869
Money market accounts 479,335 316,970
Certificates of deposit 100,000 100,000
---------- ----------
Total Cash and Temporary Investments $614,405 $453,839
========== ==========
Temporary investments are recorded at cost, which approximates market value.
The Partnership considers temporary investments with original maturities of six
months or less to be cash equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash
flows.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
- -----------------------------------
FRANCHISE FEES
Super 8 Motels, Inc., now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hospitality Franchise
Systems, Inc., is franchisor of all Super 8 Motels. The Partnership pays to
the franchisor monthly fees equal to 4% of the gross room revenues of the motel
and contributes an additional 1% of its gross room revenues to an advertising
fund administered by the franchisor. In return the franchisor provides the
right to use the name "Super 8," a national institutional advertising program,
an advance room reservation system, and inspection services. These costs
($42,812 in 1996, $41,466 in 1995 and $40,308 in 1994) are included in motel
operations expense in the accompanying statements of operations. The
Partnership operates its motel property as a franchisee of Super 8 Motels, Inc.
through a sub-franchise agreement with Brown & Grotewohl, a California general
partnership, of which Grotewohl Management Services, Inc., (see Note 1) is a
50% owner. Under the sub-franchise agreement, Brown & Grotewohl earned 40% of
the above franchise fees, which amounted to $17,125, $16,587, and $16,123 in
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FEES
The General Partners or their affiliates handle the management of the motel
property of the Partnership. The fee for this service is 5% of the gross
revenues from Partnership operations, as defined in the Partnership agreement,
not including income from the sale, exchange or refinancing of such properties.
This fee is payable only out of the cash available for distribution of the
Partnership, defined as the total cash receipts from Partnership operations
during a given period of time less cash used during the same period to pay debt
service, capital improvements and replacements, operating expenses and
reserves. It is subordinated to prior receipt by the Limited Partners of a
cumulative 10% per annum pre-tax return on their adjusted capital contributions
for each year of the Partnership's existence. At September 30, 1996 the
Limited Partners had not received the 10% cumulative return, and as no property
management fees are payable, they are not reflected in these financial
statements. Management believes it is not likely that these fees will become
payable in the future.

SUPER 8 MOTELS II, LTD.
(A California Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)
- -----------------------------------------------
SUBORDINATED PARTNERSHIP MANAGEMENT FEES
During the Partnership's operational stage, the General Partners are to receive
9% of cash available for distribution for Partnership management services,
along with an additional 1% of cash available for distribution on account of
their interest in the income and losses, subordinated, however, to receipt by
the Limited Partners of a cumulative 10% per annum pre-tax return on their
adjusted capital contributions and to payment of the property management fees
referred to above. Since the Limited Partners had not received the 10%
cumulative return and the property management fees had not been paid, no
partnership management fees are presently payable and therefore are not
reflected in these financial statements. Management expects these fees will
never be paid. This fee is payable only from cash funds provided from
operations of the Partnership, and may not be paid from the proceeds of sale or
refinancing.
SUBORDINATED INCENTIVE DISTRIBUTIONS
Under the terms of the Partnership agreement, the net proceeds of the sale of
any of the Partnership's motel properties and of any financing or refinancing
of any of the Partnership's motel properties, to the extent that such proceeds
are not to be reinvested in the acquisition of additional properties, shall
promptly be distributed to the General Partners and Limited Partners. Until
the Limited Partners have received distributions from all sources equal to
their capital contributions plus a cumulative 10% per annum pre-tax return on
their adjusted capital contributions, all of such proceeds shall be distributed
to the Limited Partners. Thereafter, 15% of the remainder of such proceeds
shall be distributed to the General Partners as cash incentive distributions
and the balance shall be distributed to the Limited Partners.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES SHARED BY THE PARTNERSHIP AND ITS AFFILIATES
There are certain administrative expenses allocated between the Partnership and
affiliated Super 8 partnerships. These expenses, which are allocated based on
usage, are telephone, data processing, rent of the administrative office, and
administrative salaries. The administrative expenses allocated to the
Partnership were approximately $113,000 in 1996, $110,000 in 1995 and $107,000
in 1994 and are included in motel operations expenses and general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. Included
in administrative salaries are allocated amounts paid to three employees who
are related to Philip B. Grotewohl, the sole shareholder of Grotewohl
Management Services, Inc., a General Partner of the Partnership.
NOTE 5 - LEASE COMMITMENT
- -------------------------
The Partnership has a long-term operating lease commitment on approximately
three acres of land in Santa Rosa, California, the site of the Santa Rosa
motel. The term of the lease runs through August 31, 2015, with an option to
extend the lease for three consecutive periods of five years each. The base
monthly rent is subject to adjustment at three year intervals to reflect
changes in the Consumer Price Index. The Partnership will pay all property
taxes, assessments and utilities. Rent expenses for the fiscal years ending
September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $101,354 , $101,679, and $95,140,
respectively.

PART III
Item 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT
--------------------------------------------------
The original general partners of the Partnership were Dennis A. Brown,
Philip B. Grotewohl and Robert J. Dana. Upon Mr. Brown's death on February 25,
1988, Mr. Grotewohl and Mr. Dana elected to continue the Partnership. During
March 1988, Mr. Grotewohl appointed Grotewohl Management Services, Inc., a
California corporation wholly-owned by Mr. Grotewohl, his successor as Managing
General Partner of the Partnership. Mr. Dana continues to be a General Partner
of the Partnership.
The Managing General Partner was organized in 1981 to serve as a general
partner of limited partnerships to be formed for the purpose of investing in
Super 8 Motels.
Mr. Grotewohl, age 78, was an attorney-at-law and was engaged in the
private practice of law in San Mateo County, California, between 1967 and 1978.
Since 1978, Mr. Grotewohl's principal occupation has been as a promoter and
general partner of Super 8 Motel limited partnerships.
Mr. Dana, age 68, was a registered representative of Brown, Brosche
Securities, Inc. between 1982 and his retirement in 1988. Between 1976 and
1982 he served as a registered representative of several other stock and
investment brokers. Mr. Dana has also served as marketing consultant for
various real estate limited partnerships and other direct participation
investment programs.
Item 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
----------------------
The following discussion contains certain information regarding aggregate
direct or indirect compensation paid by the Partnership during the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1996 or payable to the General Partners and the Estate of
Dennis A. Brown as a group. Although Mr. Brown ceased to be a general partner
of the Partnership upon his death, his estate shares in certain compensation
otherwise payable to the General Partners and their affiliates.
Property Management Fees
- ------------------------
The Manager is managing and will manage the Partnership's motel pursuant to
an agreement between the Partnership and Super 8 Management Corporation, a
corporation which was wholly-owned by Dennis A. Brown and Philip B. Grotewohl.
In March 1988 the management contract between the Partnership and Super 8
Management Corporation was assigned to the Manager, which is a California
- 14 -
general partnership between the Estate of Dennis A Brown and the Managing
General Partner. The fee for this service is 5% of the gross proceeds from the
operations of the motel. This fee is payable only out of the operational cash
flow of the Partnership, and is subordinated to the prior receipt by the
Limited Partners of a cumulative 10% per annum return on their Adjusted Capital
Contributions. This compensation is in addition to the cost of goods and
services acquired for the Partnership from independent contractors.
As a result of the sale of the Ontario motel in February 1990, the General
Partners waived their claim to accrued management fees as the receipt thereof
became extremely remote. No property management fees have been accrued since
the Ontario motel sale due to the unlikelihood that they would ever be paid to
the General Partners. Before the General Partners can receive any property
management fees, the Limited Partners must receive preferential distributions
of $3,304,493 to meet the subordination requirement calculated through
September 30,1996, plus $349,432 per each year thereafter.
Franchise Fees and Advertising Fees
- -----------------------------------
Super 8 Motels, Inc. is the franchisor of all Super 8 Motels. The
Partnership operates its motel as a franchisee of Super 8 Motels, Inc., through
a sub-franchise obtained from Super 8 Management Corporation. The original
sub-franchise agreement by Super 8 Management Corporation was transferred to
the Manager in March 1988. The Partnership, as franchisee, pays to the
franchisor monthly franchise fees equal to 4% of its gross room revenue and
contributes 1% of its gross room revenue to an advertising fund administered by
the franchisor to finance institutional advertising. The Manager is entitled
to one-half of the franchise fees.
The total of franchise fees accrued during the fiscal year covered by this
report was $34,250 (of which $17,125 accrued to the Manager). All of the
above sums have been paid.
General Partners' Interest in Cash Available for Distribution
- -------------------------------------------------------------
At quarterly intervals, the total amount of the Partnership's Cash
Available for Distribution is determined at the discretion of the General
Partners. (See Item 5 above.) Distributions therefrom are made as follows:
(1) 90% of such distributions is paid to the Limited Partners; (2) 9% thereof
is paid to the General Partners as Partnership management fees; and (3) 1%
thereof is paid to the General Partners in accordance with their interest in
the income and losses of the Partnership.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, distributions of Cash Available for
Distribution to the General Partners are deferred and paid only after payment
to the Limited Partners of distributions of Cash Available for Distribution in
an amount equal to 10% per annum cumulative on their Adjusted Capital
Contributions. During the fiscal year covered by this report $2,333 was
deferred for the General Partners' share of distributions of Cash Available for
Distribution. A total of $672,147 has been deferred since commencement of the
Partnership. As discussed in the section captioned "Property Management Fees"
above, the payment of these fees is unlikely due to the large preferential
distribution unpaid to the Limited Partners.
- 15 -
General Partners' Interest in Net Proceeds of Sales and Financing of
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Partnership Properties
- ----------------------
Net proceeds of the sale of the Partnership's motel property and of any
financing or refinancing thereof (to the extent that the proceeds of any such
financing or refinancing are not to be reinvested in the acquisition of
additional properties) will be promptly distributed. Such distributions will be
paid as follows: (1) until the Limited Partners have received distributions
from all sources equal to 100% of their capital contributions plus 10% per
annum cumulative on their Adjusted Capital Contributions, all of such proceeds
will be distributed to the Limited Partners; (2) thereafter, 15% of the balance
of such proceeds will be distributed to the General Partners as cash incentive
distributions and the remaining 85% thereof will be distributed to the Limited
Partners. No distributions have been paid to or accrued for the benefit of the
General Partners.
Allocation of Compensation
- --------------------------
Compensation to the General Partners and their affiliates is allocated as
follows:
(1) Mr. Dana receives annual amounts from the General Partners' compensation
from the Partnership so that his cumulative additional compensation from year
to year is equal to the greater of 25% of the General Partners' cumulative
share of Cash Available for Distribution and sale or refinancing proceeds or
25% of the cumulative property management fees received by the General Partners
(reduced by all Partnership-related business expenses of the General Partners).
(2) All compensation to the General Partners which is not allocated to Mr.
Dana is divided equally between Mr. Grotewohl and the Estate of Dennis A.
Brown.
Item 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners
- -----------------------------------------------
No person is known by the Partnership to be the beneficial owner of more
than 5% of the Units.
Security Ownership of Management
- --------------------------------
The General Partners do not beneficially own any Units.
Changes in Control
- ------------------
With the consent of all other General Partners and Limited Partners holding
more than 50% of the Units, a General Partner may designate a successor or
additional general partner, in each case with such participation in such
General Partner's interest as such General Partner and successor or additional
general partner may agree upon, provided that the interests of the Limited
Partners are not affected thereby.
- 16 -
A General Partner may withdraw from the Partnership at any time upon 60
days' prior written notice to the Limited Partners and any other General
Partners, or may transfer his interest to an entity controlled by him;
provided, however, that in either such event, if it is determined that the
Partnership business is to be continued rather than dissolved and liquidated
upon the happening thereof, the withdrawal or transfer will be effective only
after receipt by the Partnership of an opinion of counsel to the effect that
such withdrawal or transfer will not cause the Partnership to be classified as
an association taxable as a corporation rather than as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes.
The Limited Partners shall take no part in the management of the
Partnership's business; however, a majority in interest of the Limited
Partners, without the concurrence of the General Partners, shall have the right
to amend the Partnership Agreement, dissolve the Partnership, remove a General
Partner or any successor general partner, elect a new general partner or
general partners upon the removal, retirement, death, insanity, insolvency or
bankruptcy of a General Partner, and approve or disapprove the sale, exchange
or pledge in a single transaction of all or substantially all of the properties
acquired by the Partnership.
Item 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
----------------------------------------------
Administrative Expenses Shared by the Partnership and its Affiliates
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
There are certain administrative expenses allocated between the Partnership
and affiliated Super 8 partnerships. These expenses, which are allocated based
on usage, are telephone, data processing, rent of administrative offices and
administrative salaries. The administrative expenses allocated to the
Partnership were approximately $113,000 in fiscal year ended September 30, 1996
and are included in general and administrative expenses and motel operations
expenses in the Partnership's financial statements. Included in administrative
salaries are allocated amounts paid to three employees who are related to
Philip B. Grotewohl, the sole shareholder of the Managing General Partner.
