DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION: -------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS The Holiday Inn Minneapolis West (the Hotel) is owned and operated by Crowne West Limited Partnership (the Partnership). The Partnership was organized on March 18, 1992, to acquire and operate the 196-room Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Hotel was acquired July 1, 1992, the date the Partnership began operation. The Partnership is controlled by Minnesota Hotel Corporation (MHC), the Managing General Partner. The Partnership has entered into a management agreement with MHC for day to day operation of the hotel. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and include the accounts of the Hotel using historical cost basis. The accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 1997, and the statements of income, owner's equity and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1997 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results of these interim periods. The results of the six month period ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: ------------------------------------------- CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash, certificates of deposit, money market funds, and other highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less. INVENTORIES Inventories consist primarily of food and beverages and are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined by the first-in, first-out method. INVESTMENT IN HOTEL PROPERTY The hotel property is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based upon the following estimated useful lives: Buildings and improvements 10-30 years Furniture and equipment 3-10 years 8 -2- The management of the Hotel reviews the hotel property for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the hotel property may not be recoverable. When such conditions exist, management estimates the future cash flows from operations and disposition of the hotel property. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to the related estimated fair market value would be recorded and an impairment loss would be recognized. No such impairment losses have been recognized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a fixed asset, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the gain or loss is included in the determination of net income. DEFERRED EXPENSES Organizational costs have been capitalized and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over five years. Costs incurred in connection with obtaining the mortgage financing discussed in Note 4 are capitalized and amortized over the seven-year term of the mortgage note. Accumulated amortization of organization costs and deferred financing costs was $23,000 and $21,000, respectively, at December 31, 1996, and $24,000 and $23,000 at June 30, 1997, respectively. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized as earned. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed and an allowance for potential credit losses is provided against the portion of accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectable. Such losses have been within management's expectations. INCOME TAXES Under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Partnership owes no federal income tax. The Partners will owe tax on their allocable share of Partnership taxable income. MANAGEMENT'S USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3. ACQUISITION BY BOYSTAR VENTURES, L.P.: -------------------------------------- In July 1997, Boykin Hotel Properties, L.P. and CapStar Hotel Company (CapStar) formed a joint venture, BoyStar Ventures, L.P., (BoyStar). BoyStar acquired the Holiday Inn Minneapolis West in July 1997 from the Partnership in exchange for aggregate cash consideration of $12,300,000 and leased it to CapStar. In connection with the sale transaction, the mortgage debt of the Partnership was retired. 9 -3- 4. MORTGAGE NOTE PAYABLE: ---------------------- The mortgage note payable is collateralized by a first mortgage on the Hotel's land, building and furnishings and an assignment of revenue. In addition, certain partners in the Partnership have guaranteed a portion of the principal of the note (up to $525,500). The note is non-recourse to the other partners and for amounts in excess of the amount guaranteed. The note agreement also provides for the establishment of a replacement reserve of up to $300,000 to be funded monthly based on 3% of gross revenue, and taxes and insurance are required to be escrowed with the lender. The note agreement restricts future borrowing except with the consent of the lender. As indicated in Note 3, in connection with the sale of the Hotel to BoyStar, the outstanding balance of the mortgage note was retired. 5. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN: ---------------------- The Hotel contributes specified percentages of qualifying wages of eligible employees to a defined contribution plan. Contributions provided pursuant to the Plan were $30,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 and $21,000 and $22,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. 6. COMMITMENTS: ------------ FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS The Hotel is operated as a Holiday Inn pursuant to the terms of a hotel franchise agreement expiring in 2002. The franchise agreement requires payments for franchisor royalties, reservation fees and marketing contributions that are computed at 7.5% of gross room revenue. The franchise agreements contain provisions whereby the franchisor would be entitled to additional payments in the event the franchisee would terminate the franchise agreement prior to maturity. 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS: --------------------------- MHC receives a fee of 3.5% of revenues for managing the Hotel pursuant to the terms of a management agreement. The initial term of the management agreement expires in 2002. MHC received management fees of approximately $186,000, $90,000 and $84,000 in the year ended December 31, 1996 and the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. 8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: ------------------------------------ Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure about fair value for all financial instruments, whether or not recognized for financial statement purposes. Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1997. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts which could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. 10 -4- MORTGAGE NOTE PAYABLE Management estimates that the fair value of the mortgage note payable approximates carrying value based upon the Hotel's effective borrowing rate for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
