The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Courtyard By Marriott II Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from the accompanying statements. The Partnership believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. In the opinion of the Partnership, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Partnership as of September 6, 1996, and the results of operations for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 1996 and September 8, 1995. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year performance because of seasonal and short-term variations. For financial reporting purposes, the net income of the Partnership is allocated 95% to the Limited Partners and 5% to CBM Two Corporation (the "General Partner"). Significant differences exist between the net income for financial reporting purposes and the net income reported for Federal income tax purposes. These differences are due primarily to the use for income tax purposes of accelerated depreciation methods, shorter depreciable lives for the assets, differences in the timing of the recognition of certain fees and straight-line rent adjustments. 2. Revenues represent house profit which is hotel sales less hotel-level expenses, excluding certain operating costs and expenses such as depreciation, base, Courtyard and incentive management fees, real and personal property taxes, ground and equipment rent, insurance and certain other costs. Revenues consist of the following for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended (in thousands): Twelve Weeks Ended Thirty-Six Weeks Ended September 6, September 8, September 6, September 8, 1996 1995 1996 1995 -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- HOTEL SALES Rooms........................................$ 56,164 $ 52,604 $ 163,859 $ 153,771 Food and beverage............................ 4,084 4,067 12,613 12,244 Other........................................ 2,391 2,207 6,893 6,379 -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- 62,639 58,878 183,365 172,394 -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- HOTEL EXPENSES Departmental direct costs Rooms..................................... 11,778 11,610 34,782 33,457 Food and beverage......................... 3,755 3,453 11,082 10,296 Other........................................ 15,251 14,338 44,607 42,202 -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- 30,784 29,401 90,471 85,955 -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- REVENUES.........................................$ 31,855 $ 29,477 $ 92,894 $ 86,439 ============== ============== ============== ============== 4 3. Mortgage Debt Refinancing Partnership Structure On January 24, 1996, the Partnership completed a refinancing of the Partnership's existing debt through the private placements of $127.4 million of senior secured notes (the "Senior Notes") and $410.2 million of multi-class commercial mortgage pass-through certificates (the "Certificates"), as described more fully below. In connection with the refinancing, the limited partners approved certain amendments to the partnership agreement and the management agreement ("Management Agreement") whereby Courtyard Management Corporation (the "Manager") manages the Partnership's 70 hotels (the "Hotels"). The partnership agreement amendment, among other things, allowed the formation of certain subsidiaries of the Partnership, including Courtyard II Finance Company ("Finance"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, which along with the Partnership is the co- issuer of the Senior Notes. Additionally, the Partnership formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Courtyard II Associates Management Corporation ("Managing General Partner"). Managing General Partner was formed to be the managing general partner with a 1% general partner interest in Courtyard II Associates, L.P. ("Associates"), a Delaware limited partnership. The Partnership owns a 1% general partner interest and a 98% limited partner interest in Associates. On January 24, 1996, the Partnership contributed 69 Hotels and their related assets to Associates. Formation of Associates resulted in the Partnership's primary assets being its direct and indirect interest in Associates. Additionally, substantially all of Associates' net equity will be restricted to dividends, loans or advances to the Partnership. Associates holds a 99% membership interest in CBM Associates II LLC ("Associates II") and Managing General Partner holds the remaining 1% membership interest. On January 24, 1996, the Partnership contributed the Hotel located in Deerfield, IL (the "Deerfield Hotel") and its related assets to Associates II. Each of the Managing General Partner, Associates and Associates II was formed as a single-purpose bankruptcy- remote entity to facilitate the refinancing. CBM Funding Corporation ("CBM Funding"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Associates, also was formed to make a mortgage loan (the "Mortgage Loan") to Associates from the proceeds of the sale of the Certificates. Debt Refinancing - Overview On January 24, 1996, net proceeds from the placement of the Senior Notes and the Certificates and existing Partnership cash were used to (i) repay bank mortgage indebtedness of $275 million related to 36 Hotels and $230.5 million related to 29 Hotels, (ii) repay $25.6 million of industrial revenue bond indebtedness ("IRB Debt"), (iii) repay $6.5 million owed to Host Marriott Corporation ("Host Marriott") in connection with advances related to the IRB Debt and (iv) pay certain costs of structuring and issuing the Senior Notes and the Certificates. Upon repayment of the bank mortgage indebtedness, Host Marriott was released from its obligations under (i) the mortgage debt service guarantees, (ii) the foreclosure guarantee and (iii) the ground rent facility. Debt Refinancing - Senior Notes The Senior Notes of $127.4 million were issued by the Partnership and Finance. The Senior Notes bear interest at 10 3/4%, require semi-annual payments of interest and require no payments of principal until maturity on February 1, 2008. The Senior Notes are secured by a first priority pledge by the Partnership of (i) its 99% partnership interest (consisting of 98% limited partner interest and a 1% general partner interest) in Associates and 5 (ii) its 100% equity interest in the Managing General Partner. Finance has nominal assets, does not conduct any operations and does not provide any additional security for the Senior Notes. The terms of the Senior Notes include requirements of the Partnership to establish and fund a debt service reserve account in an amount equal to one six-month interest payment on the Senior Notes ($6,848,000) and to maintain certain levels of excess cash flow, as defined. The debt service reserve is included in restricted cash on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. In the event the Partnership fails to maintain the required level of excess cash flow, the Partnership will be required to (i) suspend distribution to its partners and other restricted payments, as defined, (ii) to fund a separate supplemental debt service reserve account (the "Supplemental Debt Service Reserve") in an amount up to two six-month interest payments on the Senior Notes and (iii) if such failure were to continue, to offer to purchase a portion of the Senior Notes at par. The Partnership is dependent on distribution of excess cash flow from Associates to pay debt service on the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are not redeemable prior to February 1, 2001. Thereafter, the Senior Notes may be redeemed, at the option of the Partnership, at a premium declining to par in 2004. The Senior Notes are non-recourse to the Partnership and its partners. Debt Refinancing - Certificates The Certificates in an initial principal amount of $410.2 million were issued by CBM Funding. Proceeds from the sale of the Certificates were utilized by CBM Funding to provide a Mortgage Loan to Associates. The Certificates/Mortgage Loan require monthly payments of principal and interest based on a 17-year amortization schedule. The Mortgage Loan matures on January 28, 2008. However, the maturity date of the Certificates/Mortgage Loan may be extended until January 28, 2013 with the consent of 66 2/3% of the holders of the outstanding Certificates affected thereby. The Certificates were issued in the following classes and pass- through rates of interest. Initial Certificate Pass-Through Class Balance Rate --------------- ---------------------- ------------- Class A-1 $ 45,500,000 7.550% Class A-2 $ 50,000,000 6.880% Class A-3P & I $ 129,500,000 7.080% Class A-3IO Not Applicable 0.933% Class B $ 75,000,000 7.480% Class C $ 100,000,000 7.860% Class D $ 10,200,000 8.645% The Class A-3IO Certificates receive payments of interest only based on a notional balance equal to the Class A-3P & I Certificate. The Certificates/Mortgage Loan maturities are as follows (in thousands): 1996 $ 10,283 1997 13,216 1998 14,242 1999 15,347 2000 16,539 Thereafter 340,573 ----------- $ 410,200 =========== 6 The Mortgage Loan is secured primarily by 69 cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized mortgages representing first priority mortgage liens on (i) the fee or leasehold interest in the 69 Hotels, related furniture, fixtures and equipment and the property improvement fund, (ii) the fee interest in the land leased from MII or its affiliates on which 53 Hotels are located, (iii) a pledge of Associates' membership interest in and the related right to receive distributions from Associates II which owns the Deerfield Hotel and (iv) an assignment of the Restated Management Agreement, as defined below. The Mortgage Loan is non-recourse to Associates, the Partnership and its partners. Operating profit from the Hotels in excess of debt service on the Mortgage Loan is available to be distributed to the Partnership. Amounts distributed to the Partnership are used for the following, in order of priority: (i) for debt service on the Senior Notes, (ii) to fund the Supplemental Debt Service Reserve, if necessary, (iii) to offer to purchase a portion of the Senior Notes at par, if necessary, (iv) for working capital as discussed later in this note and (v) for distributions to the partners of the Partnership. Marriott International, Inc. Ground Leases In connection with the refinancing, the Partnership, as lessee, transferred its rights and obligations pursuant to the 53 ground leases with Marriott International, Inc. ("MII") and affiliates to Associates. Additionally, MII and affiliates agreed to defer receipt of their ground lease payments to the extent that the Partnership or Associates has insufficient funds for debt service payments on the Senior Notes and the Mortgage Loan. Restated Management Agreement To facilitate the refinancing, effective December 30, 1995, the original Management Agreement was restated into two separate management agreements. Associates entered into a management agreement with the Manager for the 69 Hotels which Associates directly owns and Associates II entered into a management agreement for the Deerfield Hotel which Associates II owns, (collectively, the "Restated Management Agreement"). The Restated Management Agreement contains provisions which differ from the original Management Agreement. The primary new provisions are as follows: - The initial term expires in 2013. The Manager may renew the terms, as to one or more of the Hotels, at its option, for up to three successive terms of 10-years each and one final term of five years. - One percent of the Courtyard management fee will be deferred through maturity of the Senior Notes and the Mortgage Loan to the extent that the Partnership or Associates has insufficient funds for debt service payments on the Senior Notes and the Mortgage Loan. This change eliminated the previous deferral of the total Courtyard management fee to debt service through December 31, 1997. - The priority return to the Partnership, as defined, was reduced from 10% of invested capital to 7% in 1996, 8% in 1997, 9% in 1998 and then returning to 10% for 1999 and thereafter. Operating profit from the Hotels (which reflects the deduction of the base and Courtyard management fees and MII ground rent) will be used to pay the following, in order of priority: (i) debt service on the Senior Notes and Mortgage Loan, (ii) to repay working capital loans to the Manager, (iii) to repay deferred ground rent to MII and their affiliates, (iv) to repay ground lease advances to MII and its affiliates, (v) the priority return to the Partnership which is 7% of invested capital for 1996, (vi) eighty percent of the remaining operating profit is applied to the payment of current incentive management fees, (vii) to repay advances to the Partnership, (viii) to repay foreclosure avoidance advances to the Manager and (ix) fifty percent of the remaining operating profit to repay deferred management fees to the Manager and fifty percent of remaining operating profit is paid to the Partnership. 7 - The property improvement fund contribution equals 5% of gross Hotel sales for all Partnership Hotels and may be increased, at the option of the Manager, to 6% of gross Hotel sales in 2001. Working Capital Agreement Associates and Associates II are required to provide the Manager with working capital to meet the operating needs of the Hotels. The refinancing required certain enhancements to the cash management system of the Manager as well as a change in the timing of when the Manager remits net Hotel operating results to the Partnership such that additional working capital may be required for the operation of the Hotels. Therefore, on January 24, 1996, the Partnership, Associates and the Manager entered into a working capital maintenance agreement (the "Working Capital Agreement") and deposited $2.5 million as additional working capital for the operation of the Hotels. Prior to December 31, 1996, Associates and the Manager will determine the amount of working capital for the operation of the Hotels. Associates has agreed to provide up to another $2.5 million, if necessary. In addition, the Working Capital Agreement provides that the Partnership and Associates, collectively, reserve $2 million by February 1, 1997 and additional amounts such that the total balance is $5 million by February 1, 1998 (the "Working Capital Reserve"). The Working Capital Reserve will be available for payment of Hotel operating expenses in the event that there is a downgrade in the long-term senior unsecured debt of MII to below a certain level, as described in the Mortgage Loan. The obligation to fund the amounts required by the Working Capital Agreement is subordinate to debt service on the Senior Notes and the Mortgage Loan. 4. Exchange Offers Senior Notes On June 4, 1996, Courtyard by Marriott II Limited Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiary, Courtyard II Finance Company, completed an exchange offer of its unregistered 10 3/4% Series B Senior Secured Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $127.4 million ("Old Notes") due 2008 for an equal amount of registered notes ("New Notes"). The form and terms of the New Notes are substantially identical to the form and terms of the Old Notes, except that the New Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and will not have any restrictions for transfer. Multiclass Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates On June 30, 1996, CBM Funding Corporation, a subsidiary of the Partnership, completed an exchange offer of its Multiclass Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1996-1A with a principal balance of $406.2 million at that time, ("Old Certificates") for an equal amount of Multiclass Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1996- 1B ("New Certificates"). The form and terms of the New Certificates are substantially identical to the form and terms of the Old Certificates, except that the New Certificates are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and their transfers are not restricted. 5. In the first quarter of 1996, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have an effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements. 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY Principal Sources and Uses of Cash The Partnership's principal source of cash is cash from operations. Its principal uses of cash are to make debt service payments, fund the property improvement fund and to make distributions to the limited partners. Cash provided by operations for the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 1996, and September 8, 1995, was $21.5 million and $22.1 million, respectively. During the thirty-six weeks ended September 8, 1995, the Partnership paid $29.9 million in interest as compared to $32.2 million during the same period in 1996. Debt Refinancing On January 24, 1996, the Partnership completed a refinancing of the Partnership's existing debt through the private placements of $127.4 million of senior secured notes ("Senior Notes") and $410.2 million of multi-class commercial mortgage pass-through certificates (the "Certificates"). The $537.6 million of proceeds from the refinancing was used to (i) repay bank mortgage indebtedness of $275 million related to 36 Hotels and $230.5 million related to 29 Hotels, (ii) repay $25.6 million of industrial revenue bond indebtedness ("IRB Debt"), (iii) repay $6.5 million owed to Host Marriott in connection with advances related to the IRB Debt and (iv) pay certain costs of structuring and issuing the Senior Notes and the Certificates. The General Partner believes that cash from hotel operations combined with the ability to defer certain management fees to the Manager and ground rent payments to Marriott International, Inc. and affiliates will provide adequate funds in the short term and long term for the operational and capital needs of the Partnership. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues (hotel sales less direct hotel operating costs and expenses) increased by $2.4 million and $6.5 million, respectively, for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 1996. This represents an 8.1% and a 7.5% increase, respectively, for the quarter and year-to-date when compared to the comparable periods in 1995. The increase in revenues was achieved primarily through an increase in hotel sales offset by an increase in hotel operating costs and expenses. For the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 1996, hotel sales increased $3.8 million and $11 million, respectively. This represents a 6.4% increase for both the quarter and year-to-date as compared to the comparable periods in 1995. The increase in sales was achieved primarily through an increase in the combined average room rate. The combined average room rate increased $6.01 to $77.37 for the quarter and $5.07 to $76.87 year-to-date as compared to the comparable periods in 1995. The increase in average room rates was due to the elimination of lower room rated business. Combined average occupancy for the third quarter 1996 decreased by 1.1 percentage points to 83.6% while the combined average occupancy for the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 1996 remained stable at 82%. For the thirty-six weeks ended on September 6, 1996, 48 of the Partnership's 70 Hotels posted occupancy rates exceeding 80%. REVPAR, or revenue per available room, represents the combination of the combined average daily room rate charged and the combined average occupancy achieved. REVPAR for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 1996, was $64.68 and $62.88, respectively. REVPAR for the third quarter 1996 increased 7.0% as compared to the third quarter 1995 while year-to-date 1996 REVPAR increased 6.5% as compared to the comparable period in 1995. 9 Direct hotel operating costs and expenses increased from $86 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 8, 1995 to $90.5 million for the comparable period in 1996. For the third quarter 1996, these expenses increased $1.4 million as compared to third quarter 1995. As a percentage of total hotel sales, these costs and expenses decreased slightly to 49.3% for the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 1996 as compared to 49.9% for the comparable period in 1995. Interest expense increased by 25.2% to $32.1 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 1996, from $25.6 million for the comparable period in 1995. For the third quarter 1996, interest expense increased $2.4 million as compared to the third quarter 1995. The increase is due to the refinancing of the Partnership's debt at fixed rates which are higher than the prior year's variable interest rates. The weighted average interest rate for thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 1996 was 8.4% as compared to 6.8% for thirty-six weeks ended September 8, 1995. Ground rent, taxes and other increased 7.3% primarily due to an increase in equipment rent during the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 1996. The increase in base and Courtyard management fees of 6.4%, from $10.3 million for the period ended September 8, 1995 to $11 million for the same period in 1996 is due to the improved combined hotel sales for the 70 Hotels. During the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 1996, $8.4 million of incentive management fees were earned by the Manager as compared to $7.5 million earned during the comparable period in 1995. The increase in incentive management fees earned was the result of improved combined hotel operating results. For the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 1996, the Partnership had net income of $7.2 million, a decrease of $2.6 million, from net income of $9.8 million for the same period in 1995. This decrease was primarily due to higher interest expense offset by higher revenues. 10 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Certain Limited Partners of the Partnership have filed a lawsuit in Texas state court against the General Partner, the Manager and certain of their respective affiliates, officers and directors. These partners have alleged that the General Partner and the Manager have improperly operated the business affairs of the Partnership and its hotels. The General Partner believes that all of these claims are without foundation and that the litigation will be vigorously contested. The Partnership and the Partnership Hotels are involved in routine litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are expected to be covered by liability insurance and which collectively are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial conditions or results of operations of the Partnership. ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION Earla L. Stowe was appointed to Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of CBM Two Corporation on October 8, 1996.
