ITEM 1 BUSINESS
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
Red Lion Inns Limited Partnership and its subsidiary limited partnership,
Red Lion Inns Operating L.P. (the "Partnership" and the "Operating Partnership",
respectively; collectively, the "MLP"), were formed in 1987 under the Delaware
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the purpose of owning, through the
Operating Partnership, ten Red Lion hotels (the "Hotels" or individually, a
"Hotel"). The Hotels had been previously owned by Red Lion, a California Limited
Partnership ("Historical Red Lion").
On April 14, 1987, the Partnership completed an initial public offering of
units representing limited partnership interests ("Unit" or "Units"), the
proceeds from which were $98.8 million. These proceeds, accompanied by a $105.9
million mortgage loan, were used to acquire the Hotels, through the Operating
Partnership, from Historical Red Lion for $195.0 million. Since the completion
of this acquisition, the MLP's limited partners have had an effective 98.01%
ownership interest in the Hotels, with the general partner retaining the
remaining 1.99 % ownership interest. From April 14, 1987 through December 31,
1997, the day-to-day management of the Hotels was conducted pursuant to a
management agreement ("Old Management Agreement") between the Operating
Partnership and Historical Red Lion or its successor. Since January 1, 1998 the
day-to-day management of the Hotels has been conducted pursuant to the New
Management Agreement (as defined below), which contains substantially similar
economic terms to those set forth in the Old Management Agreement (see the
description of the New Management Agreement under "Recent Developments" in Part
I of this report).
Red Lion Hotels, Inc. ("Red Lion") was incorporated in Delaware in March
1994. On August 1, 1995 (the "Formation Date"), Historical Red Lion contributed
substantially all of its assets (excluding 17 hotels, certain minority joint
venture interests and certain current assets) and certain liabilities to Red
Lion. In connection with this transaction, Historical Red Lion assigned the Old
Management Agreement to Red Lion. The general partner of the Partnership and
Operating Partnership is Red Lion Properties, Inc. (the "General Partner"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Red Lion.
On November 8, 1996, Red Lion became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Doubletree Corporation pursuant to a merger transaction. In June 1997, all of
the Hotels were converted to the Doubletree Brand. Through its ownership of Red
Lion, Doubletree Corporation provides the same management services to the Hotels
that it renders to the other Doubletree lodging facilities, including a
centralized reservation system, purchasing, training, marketing, sales,
advertising, administration, maintenance, accounting and planning programs.
Doubletree Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Red Lion, are
collectively referred to herein as "Doubletree."
Prior to December 19, 1997, Doubletree filed reports and other information
with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. On December 19, 1997, Doubletree became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Promus Hotel Corporation ("Promus") pursuant to a merger
transaction in which all of the outstanding shares of Doubletree common stock
were converted into shares of Promus common stock. Promus files reports and
other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The Partnership, as a Grandfathered Partnership (as defined below), has
been treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes and,
as such, has not been required to pay federal taxes on its income. The Revenue
Reconciliation Act of 1987 (the "Revenue Act of 1987") provided, among other
things, that beginning in 1988 publicly traded partnerships would be taxed as
corporations. The Revenue Act of 1987 provides certain exceptions to this rule,
including an exception for partnerships that meet certain gross income
limitations. These limitations include a requirement that the partnership derive
at least 90% of its gross income from certain "qualifying" sources, including
"real property rents" for all tax years beginning with the
4
first taxable year in which the partnership (or its "predecessor") was a
publicly traded partnership ("PTP"). Income from the operation of a hotel is not
"qualifying" income for this purpose, while income from a lease of the same
property would qualify.
In addition to the "passive income" exception described above, the Revenue
Act of 1987 provided that, under certain circumstances, PTPs in existence prior
to the enactment of the Revenue Act of 1987 ("Grandfathered Partnerships") could
continue to be taxed as partnerships until December 31, 1997, without regard to
whether the passive income requirements had been satisfied. Because the
Partnership was publicly traded prior to the effective date of the Revenue Act
of 1987, it qualified for this transitional relief. As previously disclosed,
this transitional relief enabled the Partnership to continue to enjoy
partnership status (and not be treated as a corporation) through December 31,
1997.
The 1997 Relief Act, enacted in August 1997, extended the transitional
relief afforded by the Revenue Act of 1987 for an "electing 1987 partnership."
An "electing 1987 partnership" is exempt from the application of the PTP rules
and therefore will continue to be taxed as a partnership and not as a
corporation. An "electing 1987 partnership" is, however, subject to a 3.5%
excise tax on its annual gross income from the active conduct of a trade or
business beginning with its 1998 tax year. A Grandfathered Partnership, which
does not become an "electing 1987 partnership," will be taxed as a corporation
beginning in 1998 unless the partnership meets the "passive income" requirements
beginning with its 1998 tax year.
Therefore, to avoid taxation as a corporation in 1998, (i) the Partnership
would be required to make an election to be subject to the 3.5% excise tax
beginning with its 1998 tax year or (ii) the Partnership would have to
restructure its operations by entering into a lease of the Hotels to a third
party lessee in order to satisfy the "passive income" requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
If the Partnership were taxed as a corporation, the Partnership would have
to pay federal income taxes at regular corporate rates on its taxable income and
any distributions to the Unitholders would be taxable to the Unitholders as
dividends in the year received, to the extent of the current or accumulated
earnings and profits of the Partnership. In addition, the Partnership would also
be required to pay corporate tax on the gain recognized on a sale of any or all
of the Hotels.
If the Partnership were subject to the excise tax, it would be liable for
the federal excise tax at a rate of 3.5% on most or all of its gross income. The
Partnership would also be required to pay a federal excise tax equal to 3.5% of
the gain recognized on a sale of the Hotels.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Partnership filed its election with the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") to be taxed as a Partnership and pay a federal
excise tax. In addition, effective January 1, 1998, the Partnership entered into
a lease of the Hotels to a third party lessee in order to satisfy the "passive
income" requirements of the Code. The Partnership does not expect to be subject
to the excise tax for 1998 and, after that, so long as the Hotels are leased.
Being taxed as a corporation or paying the excise tax would reduce the
funds available to the Partnership and, in the absence of increased borrowings,
would reduce the funds available to the Partnership for capital expenditures,
payment of outstanding indebtedness, payment of distributions to its partners
and other purposes. Management of the General Partner believes that this change
in the Partnership's tax status, with the resulting reduction in the funds
available to it, could have made the Partnership unable to continue paying
distributions to its partners at current levels.
In May 1997, the Board of Directors of the General Partner, in its capacity
as the General Partner, created a special committee to evaluate strategic
alternatives in light of the tax law changes discussed above. In July 1997, the
special committee recommended a sale of the MLP and was authorized to pursue a
sale.
In December 1997, the special committee and the Board of Directors of the
General Partner both unanimously approved, and resolved to recommend that the
Unitholders approve (i) the Merger Agreement (as defined below) whereby Boykin
Lodging Company ("Boykin") agreed to acquire the Partnership and Operating
Partnership and (ii) the Assignment Agreement (as defined below) whereby the
General Partner
2
5
will assign its general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership to
West Doughboy LLC, an affiliate of Boykin ("West Doughboy").
The Merger. On December 30, 1997, Boykin agreed to acquire the Partnership
and the Operating Partnership pursuant to (i) an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the "Merger Agreement") among the Partnership, the Operating Partnership, the
General Partner, Boykin Hotel Properties, L.P., an Ohio limited partnership
("Boykin Operating Partnership"), Boykin, Boykin Acquisition Corporation I,
Inc., an Ohio corporation, Boykin Acquisition Corporation II, Inc., an Ohio
corporation and Boykin Acquisition Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub
will be merged with and into the Partnership (the "Merger") on the terms and
conditions contained in the Merger Agreement and (ii) the Partnership Interest
Assignment Agreement (the "Assignment Agreement") dated as of December 30, 1997
among the General Partner, Boykin, Boykin Operating Partnership and West
Doughboy, pursuant to which, among other things, the General Partner will assign
its general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership to West Doughboy.
Under the Merger Agreement and the Assignment Agreement, Boykin will pay to
the holders of Units (the "Unitholders") and the General Partner, in its
capacity as the general partner of the Partnership and the Operating
Partnership, aggregate cash consideration of approximately $35.3 million and
3,110,048 Boykin common shares. In exchange for their Units, each Unitholder
will receive a pro rata portion of the cash and Boykin common shares. The
General Partner will receive one percent of the total consideration to be paid
by Boykin, minus deferred capital contributions to the Operating Partnership of
$987,901, for its general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The
remaining 99% plus such capital contributions will be allocated to the
Unitholders and the General Partner pursuant to the Allocation Schedule as
defined in Schedule I to the Merger Agreement. The Allocation Schedule is
derived from the formula contained in the partnership agreement of the
Partnership, as amended and restated, for a liquidation of the Partnership.
Because the number of Boykin common shares to be issued is fixed, the
actual value that the Unitholders will receive will depend on the closing price
of the Boykin common shares on the last trading day before the effective time of
the Merger (the "Effective Time").
The Merger Agreement also provides for the assumption of liabilities. In
connection with the assumption of liabilities, the Operating Partnership, as an
affiliate of Boykin, will pay off the MLP's long-term debt, long-term payable to
affiliates and the MLP's costs related to the Merger.
In addition, the Partnership will declare a special distribution
immediately before the Effective Time payable to Unitholders of record at the
Effective Time. The special distribution plus the pre-Merger portion of the
dividend on the Boykin common shares to be received by the Unitholders (but only
if they continue to hold the Boykin shares through the record date for the
Boykin dividend) for the fiscal quarter in which the Merger occurs will
approximate a quarterly distribution at the Partnership's existing distribution
rate prorated to the Effective Time. The General Partner will also receive a
special distribution in accordance with the Merger Agreement.
The Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, the approval of the
Unitholders and Boykin's stockholders and, if approved, is expected to close in
the second quarter of 1998.
The Percentage Lease. On January 1, 1998, the Operating Partnership
entered into the Percentage Lease Agreement with Westboy LLC (the "Percentage
Lease"), an Ohio limited liability company and an affiliate of Boykin
("Westboy"), under which, among other things, the Operating Partnership leased
all of the Hotels to Westboy. The Percentage Lease has an initial term of five
years, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain events of
default and as provided below. If the Percentage Lease is not terminated,
Westboy has the right to extend the term of the Percentage Lease for twelve
additional five-year periods.
If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement have not been
consummated by December 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership has the right to
direct Westboy to assign the Percentage Lease to a person designated by the
Operating Partnership, effective on the close of business on December 31, 1998.
If the Operating Partnership does not deliver notice to Westboy that the
Operating Partnership desires Westboy to assign the Percentage Lease on or
before November 1, 1998, or if the Operating Partnership has delivered
3
6
the notice but the assignment does not close on December 31, 1998, Westboy has
the right to terminate the Percentage Lease effective on the close of business
on December 31, 1998.
As a result of the Percentage Lease, the lease income earned under the
Percentage Lease and related operating costs (property taxes, property insurance
and depreciation) will be reported in the MLP's consolidated financial
statements. The operating results of the Hotels after December 31, 1997 will not
be included in the MLP's consolidated financial statements.
Rental payments under the Percentage Lease consist of a fixed monthly base
rent regardless of the performance of the Hotels, and a variable percentage rent
based on a percentage of room revenues and certain other revenues, payable
quarterly. The base rent for the Hotels is $20,400,000 per year. The percentage
rent for a fiscal year will be equal to the amount, if any, by which the sum of
(a) 31.5% of Room Revenues (as defined in the Percentage Lease) between
$13,166,000 and $45,044,000, (b) 67% of Room Revenues between $45,044,001 and
$62,367,000, (c) 55% of Room Revenues in excess of $62,367,000, (d) 30% of Other
Revenues (as defined in the Percentage Lease) and (e) 10% of Food and Beverage
Revenues (as defined in the Percentage Lease) up to $3,900,000, exceeds base
rent for that fiscal year.
The New Management Agreement. Concurrently with the execution of the
Percentage Lease, the Old Management Agreement was terminated and Westboy and
Red Lion entered into a new management agreement dated as of January 1, 1998
(the "New Management Agreement") under which Red Lion continues to manage the
Hotels on substantially similar economic terms to those set forth in the Old
Management Agreement, which prohibited the transfer of the Red Lion Hotels
without simultaneous execution of a management agreement substantially similar
to that of the Old Management Agreement. The New Management Agreement will
remain in place following completion of the Merger. The New Management Agreement
requires Westboy to pay an annual minimum management fee ("Base Fee") to Red
Lion equal to three percent (3%) of annual Gross Revenue (as defined in the New
Management Agreement). In addition, Westboy must pay to Red Lion an annual
incentive management fee ("Incentive Fee") equal to fifteen percent (15%) of
Adjusted Gross Operating Profit, as defined in the New Management Agreement
(generally, Gross Revenue less operating expenses less the Base Fee), up to
$36,000,000 and twenty-five percent (25%) of Adjusted Gross Operating Profit in
excess of $36,000,000. However, if Cash Flow Available for Incentive Fee, as
defined in the New Management Agreement (generally, Adjusted Gross Operating
Profit less taxes, insurance, lease expense, the Base FFE Reserve (as defined
below), one-half of one percent of Gross Revenues, and the Current Priority
Amount (which is $21,948,636, plus an amount equal to the 3/8ths percent
(0.375%) of Gross Revenue per annum)) is insufficient to pay the entire
Incentive Fee, the unpaid fee accrues without interest up to a maximum accrual
of $6,000,000. "Base FFE Reserve" means three percent (3%) of Gross Revenue,
which shall, in part, fund Capital Improvements (as defined in the New
Management Agreement). The accrued Incentive Fees are payable from twenty-five
percent (25%) of future Cash Flow Available for Incentive Fee (after payment of
the current Incentive Fee). Red Lion may elect to receive currently Incentive
Fee payments that would otherwise accrue as described above and to pay interest
to Westboy on the amounts paid to the extent and so long as the amounts paid
would have accrued as provided above but for such election. Accrued Incentive
Fees are payable upon the sale or refinancing of any of the Hotels.
The New Management Agreement has an initial term expiring April 5, 2012.
Red Lion has the right to extend the term for up to ten consecutive additional
terms of five years each. The New Management Agreement will automatically
terminate and the Old Management Agreement will be automatically reinstated as
of December 31, 1998 if the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement
have not been consummated by that date.
Red Lion has the right to assign its obligations under the New Management
Agreement to an affiliate or any successor or assignee that acquires the
business of Red Lion. Westboy has the right to assign, transfer or convey its
interest in the Hotels so long as the assignee agrees to be bound by the New
Management Agreement. Westboy also has the right to convey its interest in the
Hotels located in Spokane, Yakima and Bellevue, Washington, and Springfield,
Oregon, not subject to the New Management Agreement, if a lessee of
4
7
a substitute full service hotel enters into a management agreement with Red Lion
providing at least the same economic benefit to Red Lion.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Through its ownership of Red Lion, Doubletree manages the Hotels as part of
Doubletree's chain of 169 Doubletree brand hotels with over 44,000 rooms
throughout the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean. The combined operations
of Doubletree and Promus include over 1,199 leased, managed, franchised and
owned hotels with approximately 179,000 rooms. The lodging facilities are
designed to provide guests with a full range of high-quality hotel
accommodations in convenient locations at competitive prices.
In June 1997, all of the Hotels were converted to the Doubletree brand.
Since this conversion, the Hotels have participated in the marketing and sales
programs provided to other Doubletree brand hotels.
The Hotels are located in western and mid-western states and compete
primarily in the upscale sector of the hospitality market. The Hotels are
located near airports or major traffic arteries and are convenient to commercial
centers or tourist destinations. The Hotels vary in size, ranging from 208 rooms
to 476 rooms.
Currently, the marketing and sales programs for the Hotels are coordinated
through a centralized national marketing team operating through sales offices in
Atlanta, Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix, Philadelphia,
Mexico City, Chicago, Washington, D.C. and Vancouver, Washington, and trained
sales and catering managers located at individual properties. Property sales
personnel participate in local and regional trade shows, design local
promotional and advertising campaigns and use direct solicitation to increase
room and catering sales to national and local groups and associations.
All of the Hotels offer full-service accommodations. In addition to
restaurants, lounges and banquet and meeting space, most of the Hotels offer
oversized rooms with oversized beds, premium television channel and movie
availability, free parking, swimming pools, room service and valet services.
Their guest amenities may include health and fitness facilities, gift shops,
concierge services, complimentary airport shuttle service and business centers.
Advertising, public relations, market research and training programs are
provided by Doubletree for a fee. Other programs and services include technical
training and assistance for areas such as front office operations, reservations,
housekeeping, property maintenance, energy management, laundry, valet services,
telephone systems, guest services, accounting and cash management, risk
management, credit and collection, tax compliance, legal, computer and point of
sale systems support and internal audit. The food and beverage division of
Doubletree establishes quality levels, monitors performance, provides culinary
training and assists in menu design, pricing, accounting and cost controls.
Doubletree makes available to the Hotels the same services that it renders
to its other lodging facilities, including a centralized reservation system,
purchasing, training, advertising, administration, maintenance, accounting and
planning programs. A toll free centralized reservation system is available to
customers throughout the United States and Canada. The reservation system is
accessible by all major airline systems and over 115,000 travel agencies
worldwide.
The MLP has no employees. Hotel and administrative personnel are employed
by Doubletree and its affiliates. The MLP is not responsible for the payment of
executive compensation to the officers of the General Partner. Through December
31, 1997 the MLP reimbursed Doubletree for the cost of providing such services
at the Hotel level and reimbursed the General Partner for MLP-related
administrative costs. For further discussion of reimbursements to the General
Partner and executive compensation, see Items 11 and 13 of this report.

(1) At December 31st.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The hotel industry is subject to numerous federal, state and local
government regulations, including those relating to the preparation and sale of
food and beverages (such as health and liquor license laws) and building and
zoning requirements. The failure to obtain or retain liquor licenses could
adversely affect the MLP. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the
"ADA"), all public accommodations are required to meet certain federal
requirements related to access and use by disabled persons, however, a
determination that such hotels are not in compliance with the ADA could result
in the imposition of fines, an award of damages to private litigants or
significant expense to the MLP in bringing these hotels into compliance. These
and other initiatives could adversely affect the MLP as well as the hotel
industry in general.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Under various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be
liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances
on, under or in such property. Such laws often impose liability whether or not
the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such
hazardous or toxic substances. For example, liability may arise as a result of
the historical use of a site or from the migration of contamination from
adjacent or nearby properties. Any such contamination or liability may also
reduce the value of the property. In addition, certain environmental laws and
common law principles could be used to impose liability for release of
asbestos-containing materials ("ACMs") into the air, and third parties may seek
recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury
associated with exposure to released ACMs. Environmental laws also may impose
restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be
operated, and these restrictions may require expenditures. In connection with
the ownership or operation of hotels, the MLP may be potentially liable for any
such costs; there can be no assurance that there are no environmental
liabilities or claims of which the MLP is unaware or that the current condition
of the MLP's properties have not been or will not be affected by the historical
or current uses of such properties or the activities in the vicinity of such
properties or that liability resulting from non-compliance or other claims
relating to environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
MLP.
COMPETITION
The Hotels are in competition for guests with a wide range of lodging
facilities offering full-service, limited-service and all-suite lodging options
to the public. Competitive factors in the lodging industry include room rates,
quality of accommodations, name recognition, service levels and convenience of
location. There can be no assurance that new or existing competitors will not
significantly expand or improve facilities in a market in which the Hotels
compete, thereby adversely affecting the MLP's operations.

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
During 1987, Congress passed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act which
mandates that the MLP become subject to corporate taxes on its income beginning
January 1, 1998. If the MLP were taxed as a corporation, the MLP would have to
pay federal income taxes at regular corporate rates on its taxable income,
including any gain recognized on a sale of any or all of the Hotels. Any
distributions to the Unitholders would be taxable to the Unitholders as
dividends in the year received, to the extent of the current or accumulated
earnings and profits of the Partnership.
In August 1997, Congress passed the 1997 Relief Act that extended the
transitional relief afforded by the Revenue Act of 1987 for an "electing 1987
partnership." An "electing 1987 partnership" is exempt from the application of
the PTP rules and therefore will continue to be taxed as a partnership and not
as a corporation. An "electing 1987 partnership" is, however, subject to a 3.5%
excise tax on its annual gross income from the active conduct of a trade or
business beginning with its 1998 tax year. A Grandfathered Partnership, which
does not become an "electing 1987 partnership," will be taxed as a corporation
beginning in 1998 unless the partnership meets the "passive income" requirements
beginning with its 1998 tax year.
Therefore, to avoid taxation as a corporation in 1998, (i) the Partnership
would be required to make an election to be subject to the 3.5% excise tax
beginning with its 1998 tax year or (ii) the MLP would have to restructure its
operations by entering into a lease of the Hotels to a third party lessee in
order to satisfy the "passive income" requirements of the Code.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Partnership filed its election with the IRS
to be taxed as a partnership and pay a federal excise tax. In addition,
effective January 1, 1998, the MLP entered into a lease of the Hotels to a third
party lessee in order to satisfy the "passive income" requirements of the Code.
The MLP does not expect to be subject to the excise tax for 1998 and, after
that, so long as the Hotels are leased.
Being taxed as a corporation or paying the excise tax would reduce the
funds available to the MLP and, in the absence of increased borrowings, would
reduce the funds available to the MLP for capital expenditures, payment of
outstanding indebtedness, payment of distributions to its partners and other
purposes. Management of the General Partner believes that this change in the
MLP's tax status, with the resulting reduction in the funds available to it,
could have made the MLP unable to continue paying distributions to its partners
at current levels.
In May 1997, the Board of Directors of the General Partner, in its capacity
as the General Partner, created a special committee to evaluate strategic
alternatives in light of the changes in the tax law discussed above. In July
1997, the special committee recommended a sale of the MLP and was authorized to
pursue a sale.
In December 1997, the special committee and the Board of Directors of the
General Partner both unanimously approved, and resolved to recommend that the
Unitholders approve (i) the Merger Agreement whereby Boykin agreed to acquire
the Partnership and Operating Partnership and (ii) the Assignment Agreement
whereby the General Partner will assign its general partnership interest in the
Operating Partnership to West Doughboy.
The Merger Agreement. On December 30, 1997, the MLP agreed to the Merger
with Boykin for an aggregate cash consideration of approximately $35.3 million,
3,110,048 common shares of Boykin and assumption of liabilities. The proceeds
will be allocated to the Unitholders and the General Partner pursuant to the
Allocation Schedule that is derived from the formula contained in the
Partnership Agreement for a liquidation of the Partnership. In connection with
the assumption of liabilities, the Operating Partnership, as an affiliate of
Boykin, will pay off the MLP's long-term debt, long-term payable to affiliates
and the MLP's costs related to the Merger (approximately $827,000 at December
31, 1997).
Because the number of Boykin common shares to be issued is fixed, the
actual value that the Unitholders will receive will depend on the closing price
of the Boykin common shares on the last trading day before the Effective Time.
9
12
In addition, the Partnership will declare a special distribution
immediately before the Effective Time payable to Unitholders of record at the
Effective Time. The special distribution plus the pre-Merger portion of the
dividend on the Boykin common shares to be received by the Unitholders (but only
if they continue to hold the Boykin shares through the record date for the
Boykin dividend) for the fiscal quarter in which the Merger occurs will
approximate a quarterly distribution at the Partnership's existing distribution
rate prorated to the Effective Time. The General Partner will also receive a
special distribution in accordance with the Merger Agreement.
The Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, the approval of the
Unitholders and Boykin's stockholders and, if approved, is expected to close in
the second quarter of 1998.
The Percentage Lease. On January 1, 1998, the Operating Partnership leased
all of the Hotels to Westboy under the Percentage Lease. The Percentage Lease
has an initial term of five years with twelve five-year renewal options at
Westboy's option. If the Merger Agreement has not been consummated by December
31, 1998, the Operating Partnership has the right to direct Westboy to assign
the Percentage Lease to a person designated by the Operating Partnership,
effective on the close of business on December 31, 1998. If the Operating
Partnership does not deliver notice to Westboy that the Operating Partnership
desires Westboy to assign the Percentage Lease on or before November 1, 1998, or
if the Operating Partnership has delivered the notice but the assignment does
not close on December 31, 1998, Westboy has the right to terminate the
Percentage Lease effective on the close of business on December 31, 1998.
Rental payments under the Percentage Lease consist of a fixed monthly base
rent of $1.7 million, and a variable percentage rent based on a percentage of
room revenues and certain other revenues, payable quarterly. The percentage rent
for a fiscal year will be equal to the amount, if any, by which the sum of (a)
31.5% of Room Revenues (as defined in the Percentage Lease) between $13,166,000
and $45,044,000, (b) 67% of Room Revenues between $45,044,001 and $62,367,000,
(c) 55% of Room Revenues in excess of $62,367,000, (d) 30% of Other Revenues (as
defined in the Percentage Lease) and (e) 10% of Food and Beverage Revenues (as
defined in the Percentage Lease) up to $3,900,000, exceeds base rent for that
fiscal year.
The New Management Agreement. Concurrently with the execution of the
Percentage Lease, the Old Management Agreement was terminated and Westboy and
Red Lion entered into the New Management Agreement under which Red Lion
continues to manage the Hotels on substantially similar economic terms to those
set forth in the Old Management Agreement, which prohibited the transfer of the
Red Lion Hotels without simultaneous execution of a management agreement
substantially similar to that of the Old Management Agreement. The New
Management Agreement has an initial term expiring April 5, 2012 with ten
five-year renewal terms and will remain in place following completion of the
Merger. If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement have not been
consummated by December 31, 1998, the New Management Agreement will
automatically terminate and the Old Management Agreement will be automatically
reinstated.
Red Lion has the right to assign its obligations under the New Management
Agreement to an affiliate or any successor or assignee that acquires the
business of the Red Lion. Westboy has the right to assign, transfer or convey
its interest in the Hotels so long as the assignee agrees to be bound by the New
Management Agreement. Westboy also has the right to convey its interest in the
Hotels located in Spokane, Yakima and Bellevue, Washington, and Springfield,
Oregon, not subject to the New Management Agreement, if a lessee of a substitute
full service hotel enters into a management agreement with Red Lion providing at
least the same economic benefit to Red Lion.
PRO FORMA RESULTS
The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the consolidated results
of operations and related cash available for distribution to Unitholders
("Distributable Cash") of the MLP as if (i) the Percentage Lease had been
entered into effective January 1, 1996 and no corporate or excise tax is
payable; and (ii) the MLP had made the excise tax election effective January 1,
1996 and did not enter into the Percentage Lease. The pro forma results have
been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative
of

As discussed above, the Partnership has elected to pay a 3.5% tax on its
gross income from the active conduct of a trade or business, effective January
1, 1998. However, the Partnership (through the Red Lion Operating Partnership)
leased the Hotels to Westboy, an affiliate of Boykin, as of January 1, 1998 and,
therefore, its lease income from the Hotels should be treated as passive rent
rather than income from the active conduct of a trade or business. If the Merger
is not completed for any reason, the Partnership may require Westboy to assign
the lease to a Partnership designee. If no such assignment is made, Westboy may
terminate the lease effective December 31, 1998. If the lease is terminated, the
Partnership will be required to pay a 3.5% excise tax beginning January 1, 1999
on its annual gross income. This excise tax may impair the Partnership's ability
to maintain its current level of distributions. The Partnership may also be
required to pay a 3.5% excise tax on any gain from the future sale of all or a
part of the Hotels sold after termination of the lease.

A summary of occupancy and room rates for the Hotels follows:
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
--------------------------
1997 1996 1995
------ ------ ------
Occupancy percentage..................................... 70.3% 71.9% 73.5%
Average room rate........................................ $83.90 $80.97 $74.79
REVPAR................................................... $58.97 $58.25 $55.01
Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 1996
Rooms profit increased approximately $0.7 million or 1% to $49.6 million
for the year ended December 31, 1997 compared to $48.9 million for the year
ended December 31, 1996. This increase is the result of an increase in the
average room rate, offset by a decrease in occupancy.
Food and beverage profit decreased approximately $1.1 million or 16% to
$5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 compared to 1996. The annual
profit margin also declined from 20.5% of 1996 food and beverage revenues to
17.9% of 1997 food and beverage revenues. This decrease is due in part to higher
margin group banquet revenue realized in the first half of 1996 by two Hotels
located in Northwestern Oregon which benefited from additional catering and
group banquet business as a result of the flooding in the Pacific Northwest
during 1996.
Hotel indirect expenses increased by approximately $0.8 million or 3% in
the year ended December 31, 1997 compared to the year ended December 31, 1996.
This increase is due primarily to an increase in sales, promotion and
advertising expenses attributable to the conversion from the "Red Lion" brand to
the
12
15
"Doubletree" brand on June 9, 1997, as well as an increase in repairs and
maintenance expense, offset by reductions in utilities and administrative and
general expenses. The Hotels incurred approximately $0.7 million in conversion
costs including one-time charges for advertising, public relations, in-house
promotions and miscellaneous conversion costs. Excluding these one-time charges,
sales, promotion and advertising expense increased approximately $0.1 million or
2% in 1997.
Operating income decreased from $16.5 million for the year ended December
31, 1996 to $15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, a decrease of
4%. As a percentage of gross operating profit of Hotels, operating income
totaled 39% and 40% for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The decrease in operating income is primarily the result of higher
property taxes and depreciation expense due to assets placed in service in late
1996 and early 1997, after significant renovations at four Hotels, offset by a
reduction in other expenses and management fees. Other expenses are lower as a
result of the lower cost of insurance provided by Doubletree compared to the
costs charged by Red Lion and a loss on disposal of fixed assets recorded by one
Hotel in 1996. Management fees are lower due to the reduced revenues and gross
operating profit of the Hotels.
The MLP recognized $5.6 million and $5.8 million in each of the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, of incentive management fees payable
to Doubletree. Incentive management fees are payable only to the extent there is
sufficient Cash Flow, as defined, available for its payment. Based on 1997 Cash
Flow, the payment of approximately $926,000 of incentive fees has been deferred.
Interest expense increased $315,000 to $12.4 million in the year ended
December 31, 1997 as compared to $12.0 million for the year ended December 31,
1996. The additional expense is due primarily to higher average debt levels
during 1997 combined with interest rate swap adjustments.
In anticipation of the tax law changing, the MLP provided for deferred
income taxes of approximately $377,000 in 1996. During the year ended December
31, 1997, no deferred income tax provision was necessary. Deferred income tax
arises primarily from differences in depreciation for financial accounting and
tax purposes that were expected to exist at January 1, 1998.
During the year ended December 31, 1997, net income was $3.4 million ($0.81
per Unit) compared to $4.0 million ($0.96 per Unit) for the year ended December
31, 1996. Cash Flow for the year ended December 31, 1997 was approximately $4.6
million ($3.30 per Unit) compared to $6.1 million ($3.65 per Unit) during the
comparable prior period. The MLP's net income and Cash Flow was adversely
affected by the one-time conversion costs discussed above, the impact of
increased competition in certain markets and higher debt service payments.
Year Ended December 31, 1996 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 1995
Rooms profit increased approximately $2.6 million or 6% to $48.9 million
for the year ended December 31, 1996 compared to $46.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 1995. This increase is the result of an increase in the
average room rate, offset by a decrease in occupancy due in part to the effects
of renovation work at various Hotels.
Food and beverage profit decreased approximately $0.5 million or 7% to $6.9
million for the year ended December 31, 1996 compared to 1995. The annual profit
margin also declined from 22% of 1995 food and beverage revenues to 21% of 1996
food and beverage revenues.
Other profit increased by nearly $0.9 million or 13.7% to $7.4 million for
the year ended December 31, 1996 compared to 1995. This increase is due
principally to increased banquet room rentals and ancillary banquet services.
Hotel indirect expenses increased by approximately $1.2 million or 6% in
the year ended December 31, 1996 compared to the year ended December 31, 1995.
As a percentage of Hotel revenues, Hotel indirect expenses remained constant at
20%.
Operating income increased from $16.1 million for the year ended December
31, 1995 to $16.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, an increase of
2%. As a percentage of gross operating profit of Hotels,
13
16
operating income totaled 40% and 41% for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively. The increase is primarily due to higher base and incentive
management fees as a result of increased Hotel revenues and higher property
taxes and insurance costs.
The MLP recognized $5.8 million and $5.4 million in each of the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, of incentive management fees payable
to Doubletree. Incentive management fees are payable only to the extent there is
sufficient Cash Flow, as defined, available for its payment. Based on 1996 Cash
Flow, all of the incentive management fees were paid.
Interest expense increased approximately $740,000 to $12.0 million in the
year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $11.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995. The additional expense is due primarily to higher average
debt levels during 1996 combined with interest rate swap adjustments.
In anticipation of the tax law change, the MLP provided for deferred income
taxes of approximately $377,000 and $272,000, respectively in 1996 and 1995.
Deferred income tax arises primarily from differences in depreciation for
financial accounting and tax purposes that were expected to exist at January 1,
1998.
During the year ended December 31, 1996, net income was $4.0 million ($0.96
per limited partner unit) compared to $4.5 million ($1.07 per Unit) for the year
ended December 31, 1995. Cash Flow for the year ended December 31, 1996
decreased to $15.4 million ($3.65 per limited partner unit) from $16.1 million
($3.81 per Unit) during the comparable prior period. The reduction in the MLP's
Cash Flow is due to lower net income combined with higher debt service payments.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The MLP's principal source of cash is from Hotel operations. During the
year ended December 31, 1997, the Hotels generated sufficient cash from
operations to cover operating needs. The MLP generated $13.5 million of cash
flow from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to
$14.8 million generated in 1996. If the Merger is not consummated, it is
expected that 1998 cash provided by operations and borrowings, if any, from
available credit facilities or from the General Partner will be sufficient to
meet anticipated cash requirements.
During 1996, the MLP entered into a three-year $125 million credit
facility. The credit facility includes a $120 million term loan and a $5 million
revolving credit line. The proceeds of the term loan were used to repay all
amounts owed under the prior mortgage note and revolving credit facility, a
portion of the payable to affiliate related to deferred incentive management
fees and loan fees. The facility is secured by all of the assets of the Hotels.
Borrowings under the term loan and the revolving credit line bear interest, at
the MLP's election, at either LIBOR plus 2.25% or the prime rate plus 1.25%. At
December 31, 1997 both the term loan and the revolving credit line bear interest
at LIBOR plus 2.25% (8.0%). Remaining principal payments on the three-year term
loan amount to $3.2 million for 1998 with a lump-sum payment of $112.9 million
due on March 31, 1999. Borrowings under the revolving credit line total $4.5
million at December 31, 1997 and are due and payable in March 1999.
At December 31, 1997, the Partnership had four interest rate swap
agreements outstanding which have substantially converted $100 million of debt
from floating LIBOR based rates to fixed rates ranging from 6.17% to 6.23%. The
agreements expire from December 1998 to March 1999. The swap agreements contain
a credit risk that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the
agreements. The General Partner minimizes this risk by evaluating the
creditworthiness of its counterparties, which are limited to major banks and
financial institutions, and does not anticipate nonperformance by the
counterparties.
Long-term payables to affiliates include advances from the General Partner,
the General Partner Credit Facility (as defined below) and deferred incentive
management fees. Long-term payables to affiliates are recorded net of the
working capital of the Hotels. Since Doubletree has operating responsibilities
associated with the Hotels working capital items are excluded from the
consolidated financial statements and are assumed to be liquidated into cash and
used to pay down the liability. During 1997, the MLP repaid $36,000, net of
advances and changes in working capital of the Hotels, to affiliates.
14
17
Advances from the General Partner consist primarily of advances for capital
improvements in excess of the FF&E reserve (equal to 3% of revenues required by
the provisions of the Old Management Agreement). At December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, advances from the General Partner also include current trade
payables totaling $3.1 million primarily for accrued compensation and other
amounts that are funded by the General Partner and reimbursed by the MLP. With
the exception of trade payables, amounts advanced bear interest at the prime
rate plus 0.5% (9.0% at December 31, 1997).
During the first 36 months of operation, which ended April 30, 1990, the
General Partner advanced, on a non-interest basis (the "General Partner Credit
Facility"), amounts to fund distributions of the Priority Return. The General
Partner Credit Facility will be repaid out of either (i) cash flow after payment
of the Priority Return and incentive management fees, or (ii) sale or
refinancing proceeds prior to any distribution to limited partners.
Deferred incentive management fees are non-interest bearing and are payable
from either (i) 25% of cash flow in excess of the Priority Return and the
current incentive management fee or (ii) sale or refinancing proceeds.
Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Operating Partnership, as an
affiliate of Boykin, shall pay all obligations payable by the Operating
Partnership under the Old Management Agreement, including long-term payables to
affiliates, any indebtedness outstanding under the MLP's credit facility
together with any unpaid interest thereon and any prepayment or other costs
associated with the repayment of amounts under or in connection with the
termination of such credit facility.
On January 21, 1998, the General Partner declared a quarterly cash
distribution of $0.55 per Unit ($2.20 annualized) for the fourth quarter of
1997, paid on February 13, 1998 to the Unitholders of record on January 30,
1998. This distribution has been accrued in the accompanying financial
statements.
During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Partnership made capital
improvements of approximately $2.4 million. Major improvements included guest
room renovations and common area refurbishments at two Hotels. These capital
expenditures were funded from the current year's reserve of approximately $3.3
million. Pursuant to provisions of the Old Management Agreement, 3% of gross
revenues was required to be set aside annually for capital improvements.
Under the New Management Agreement and Percentage Lease capital
expenditures are funded by the Operating Partnership with amounts accumulated in
a reserve fund equal to 3% of annual gross revenue of the Hotels ("the Base FFE
Reserve"). Amounts in the Base FFE Reserve are expended at the discretion of
Doubletree, the Manager. An additional unfunded FFE Reserve equal to one percent
(1%) of gross revenue of the Hotels ("Additional FFE Reserve") also accumulates
amounts to fund capital improvements. Amounts in the Additional FFE Reserve are
expended at the discretion of Westboy, except that amount in the Additional FFE
Reserve in excess of $5,000,000 (subject to CPI adjustment) may be expended at
the discretion of Doubletree. In addition to the Base FFE Reserve and the
Additional FFE Reserve, Westboy has agreed to spend $10,000,000 before June 30,
2000 on capital improvements at the Hotels.
Seasonality. Operations of the Hotels are affected by seasonality.
Revenues are typically higher in summer periods than in winter periods.
Inflation. The effects of inflation, as measured by fluctuations in the
Consumer Price Index, have not had a material impact on the MLP's revenues or
net income during the last three years.

and assumptions. The future results may differ materially from those expressed
in these forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine
these results and values are beyond the MLP's ability to control or predict. The
following factors are among those that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements: national or local economic
conditions affecting the supply and demand for hotel space, competition in hotel
operations, including additional or improved services or facilities of
competitors, price pressures, continuing availability of capital to fund growth
and improvements and the impact of legislation. The forward-looking statements
should be considered in light of these factors, and the reader is cautioned not

RED LION INNS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Red Lion Inns Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership") and its subsidiary limited partnership, Red Lion Inns Operating
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership;" collectively,
the "MLP"). The MLP was organized on April 14, 1987 for the purpose of acquiring
and owning, through the Operating Partnership, ten Red Lion hotels (the "Hotels"
or, individually, a "Hotel"), which are managed under a long-term management
agreement with Red Lion Hotels, Inc. ("Red Lion"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Doubletree Corporation pursuant to the November 8, 1996 merger in which
Doubletree Corporation acquired Red Lion. Doubletree Corporation and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Red Lion, are collectively referred to herein as
"Doubletree." The general partner of the MLP is Red Lion Properties, Inc. (the
"General Partner"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Doubletree
Corporation. As of December 31, 1997, all of the Hotels have been rebranded
"Doubletree." All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been
eliminated.
On December 19, 1997, Doubletree Corporation became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Promus Hotel Corporation ("Promus") pursuant to a merger
transaction in which all of the outstanding shares of Doubletree Corporation
common stock were converted into shares of Promus common stock.
On December 30, 1997, the MLP entered into a merger agreement with Boykin
Lodging Company ("Boykin"), an unrelated third party whereby Boykin agreed to
acquire the Partnership and the Operating Partnership. The merger agreement is
subject to the approval of the Unitholders and Boykin's shareholders and is
expected to close in the second quarter of 1998. Effective January 1, 1998, the
Hotels were leased to an affiliate of Boykin. See Note 2 for additional details.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the General Partner to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
While the General Partner endeavors to make accurate estimates, actual results
could differ from estimates.
Cash Equivalents
All short-term, highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents for
purposes of the statements of cash flows.
Gross Operating Profit of Hotels
The gross operating profit of the Hotels reported in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations represents the revenues net of the
operating expenses of the Hotels. Operating revenues and expenses and the
current assets and current liabilities of the Hotels are excluded from the
accompanying consolidated financial statements of the MLP because Doubletree, as
manager, not the MLP, has operating responsibility for the Hotels.
Management Fees
Through December 31, 1997, the Hotels were managed by Doubletree pursuant
to a long-term management agreement (the "Old Management Agreement"). The Old
Management Agreement expires in 2012 and can be extended for an additional ten
five-year periods.
In accordance with the Old Management Agreement, the MLP pays base and
incentive management fees to Doubletree. Base management fees payable are equal
to 3% of the annual gross revenues of the Hotels.
23
26
RED LION INNS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Incentive management fees payable are equal to the sum of 15% of annual adjusted
gross operating profit up to $36 million (operating profit target) and 25% of
annual adjusted gross operating profit in excess of the operating profit target.
Adjusted gross operating profit is calculated by subtracting the base management
fee expense from the gross operating profit of Hotels as shown in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. The MLP may defer payment of the
incentive fees to Doubletree to the extent that the calculation of Cash Flow for
Incentive Fees, as defined in the Old Management Agreement, on an annual basis,
does not exceed $2.20 per unit ("Priority Return"). For the year ended December
31, 1997, the MLP deferred the payment of $926,000 of incentive fees due to
insufficient Cash Flow for Incentive Fees. No such deferral was made in 1996 or
1995.
In connection with the leasing of the Hotels to an affiliate of Boykin,
effective January 1, 1998 the MLP entered into a new management agreement with
Doubletree (the "New Management Agreement") with substantially similar terms as
the Old Management Agreement (see Note 2).
Property and Equipment
The MLP recorded the April 14, 1987 acquisition of property and equipment
on the basis of an allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired.
Subsequent additions and improvements have been capitalized at their cost.
Normal repairs and maintenance are charged to Hotel operating costs and
expensed as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the
cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective
accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is included in income.
Base stock (linens, china, silverware and glassware) for the Hotels has
been depreciated to 50 percent of its initial cost on a straight-line basis over
a three-year period and subsequent replacements are expensed when purchased in
accordance with industry practice. The carrying value of base stock is included
in furnishings and equipment in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis using the following
estimated useful lives:
Buildings and improvements.................................. 5 to 35 years
Furnishings and equipment................................... 3 to 15 years
The MLP adopted the provisions of 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, on January 1, 1996. This Statement
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets
are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by
the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of
the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying
amount or fair value less costs to sell. Adoption of this Statement did not have
a material impact on the MLP's financial position, results of operations or
liquidity.
Deferred Loan Costs
Deferred loan costs consist of financing fees paid in connection with
obtaining the MLP's credit facility, and are amortized over the three-year term
of the credit facility. These costs total $546,000 (net of accumulated
amortization of $437,000) at December 31, 1997 and are included in other assets
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
24
27
RED LION INNS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
No current provision for federal or state income taxes has been provided by
the MLP in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The MLP is not
currently a taxable entity and any income taxes are the responsibility of the
partners and not the MLP. Beginning January 1, 1998, federal tax law mandates
that the MLP become subject to corporate taxes on its income or elect to pay a
3.5% gross revenues tax. Therefore, deferred income taxes have been provided for
the projected differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of
property and equipment at January 1, 1998 (see Note 3).
Cash Distributions
The MLP declares each quarterly distribution in the month following the end
of the quarter to which it applies. Fourth quarter distributions are accrued in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for both of the years presented.
Recent Pronouncements
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income and SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information, which are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components within the
financial statements. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way public
companies report information about operating segments within the financial
statements. The MLP will adopt both SFAS No. 130 and SFAS No. 131 in 1998. The
adoption of these statements is not expected to have a material effect on the
MLP's consolidated financial statements.
2. ORGANIZATION
Organizational History
The Partnership was formed on January 16, 1987, under the Delaware Revised
Uniform Limited Partnership Act and will continue until December 31, 2062,
unless sooner terminated under the provisions of the Partnership's Amended and
Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"). The
Partnership was formed to acquire, own and operate the Hotels through its
interest in the Operating Partnership. The MLP's limited partners
("Unitholders") have an effective 98.01% ownership interest in the Hotels with
the General Partner retaining the remaining 1.99% ownership interest.
The allocation of the Partnership's profits and losses is based on the
relative ownership interests in accordance with the terms of the Partnership
Agreement. Cash flow available for distribution, as defined in the Partnership
Agreement, is generally distributed to the partners in proportion to their
respective ownership interests. Such distributions occur until certain
preferential distributions are achieved and then cash flow is allocated to both
the general and limited partners depending on factors related to the source of
the net cash flow and cash distributions as specified in the Partnership
Agreement.
Recent Developments
During 1987, Congress passed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (the
"Revenue Act of 1987") which mandates that the MLP become subject to corporate
taxes on its income beginning January 1, 1998. If the MLP were taxed as a
corporation, the MLP would have to pay federal income taxes at regular corporate
rates on its taxable income, including any gain recognized on a sale of any or
all of the Hotels. Any distributions to the Unitholders would be taxable to the
Unitholders as dividends in the year received, to the extent of the current or
accumulated earnings and profits of the Partnership.
25
28
RED LION INNS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
In August 1997, Congress passed the 1997 Relief Act that extended the
transitional relief afforded by the Revenue Act of 1987 for an "electing 1987
partnership." An "electing 1987 partnership" is exempt from the application of
the publicly traded partnership ("PTP") rules and therefore will continue to be
taxed as a partnership and not as a corporation. An "electing 1987 partnership"
is, however, subject to a 3.5% excise tax on its annual gross income from the
active conduct of a trade or business beginning with its 1998 tax year. A PTP in
existence prior to the Revenue Act of 1987, which does not become an "electing
1987 partnership," will be taxed as a corporation beginning in 1998 unless the
partnership meets the "passive income" requirements beginning with its 1998 tax
year.
Therefore, to avoid taxation as a corporation in 1998, (i) the Partnership
would be required to make an election to be subject to the 3.5% excise tax
beginning with its 1998 tax year or (ii) the MLP would have to restructure its
operations by entering into a lease of the Hotels to a third party lessee in
order to satisfy the "passive income" requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
Effective January 1, 1998, the Partnership filed its election with the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") to be taxed as a partnership and pay a federal
excise tax. In addition, effective January 1, 1998, the MLP entered into a lease
of the Hotels to a third party lessee in order to satisfy the "passive income"
requirements of the Code. The MLP does not expect to be subject to the excise
tax for 1998 and, after that, so long as the Hotels are leased.
Being taxed as a corporation or paying the excise tax would reduce the
funds available to the MLP and, in the absence of increased borrowings, would
reduce the funds available to the MLP for capital expenditures, payment of
outstanding indebtedness, payment of distributions to its partners and other
purposes. Management of the General Partner believes that this change in the
MLP's tax status, with the resulting reduction in the funds available to it,
could have made the MLP unable to continue paying distributions to its partners
at current levels.
In May 1997, the Board of Directors of the General Partner, in its capacity
as the General Partner, created a special committee to evaluate strategic
alternatives in light of the changes in the tax law which became effective on
January 1, 1998. In July 1997, the special committee recommended a sale of the
MLP and was authorized to pursue a sale.
In December 1997, the special committee and the Board of Directors of the
General Partner both unanimously approved, and resolved to recommend that the
Unitholders approve, (i) an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement") whereby Boykin Lodging Company, an Ohio Corporation ("Boykin"),
agreed to acquire the Partnership and Operating Partnership and (ii) the
Partnership Interest Assignment Agreement (the "Assignment Agreement") whereby
the General Partner will assign its general partnership interest in the
Operating Partnership to West Doughboy LLC, an Ohio limited liability company
and an affiliate of Boykin ("West Doughboy"). The transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement and the Assignment Agreement are referred to herein as the
"Merger."
The Merger Agreement. On December 30, 1997, the MLP agreed to the Merger
with Boykin for an aggregate cash consideration of approximately $35.3 million,
3,110,048 common shares of Boykin and assumption of liabilities. The proceeds
will be allocated to the Unitholders and the General Partner pursuant to the
allocation schedule that is derived from the formula contained in the
Partnership Agreement for a liquidation of the Partnership. In connection with
the assumption of liabilities, the Operating Partnership, as an affiliate of
Boykin, will pay off the MLP's long-term debt, long-term payable to affiliates
and the MLP's costs related to the Merger (approximately $827,000 at December
31, 1997). The MLP's costs related to the Merger are included in other assets in
the accompanying 1997 consolidated balance sheet.
Because the number of Boykin common shares to be issued is fixed, the
actual value that the Unitholders will receive will depend on the closing price
of the Boykin common shares on the last trading day before the effective time of
the Merger (the "Effective Time").

In addition, the Partnership will declare a special distribution
immediately before the Effective Time payable to the Unitholders of record at
the Effective Time. The special distribution plus the pre-Merger portion of the
dividend on the Boykin common shares to be received by the Unitholders (but only
if they continue to hold the Boykin shares through the record date for the
Boykin dividend) for the fiscal quarter in which the Merger occurs will
approximate a quarterly distribution at the Partnership's existing distribution
rate prorated to the Effective Time. The General Partner will also receive a
special distribution in accordance with the Merger Agreement.
The Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, the approval of the
Unitholders and Boykin's stockholders and, if approved, is expected to close in
the second quarter of 1998.
The Percentage Lease. On January 1, 1998, the Operating Partnership leased
all of the Hotels to Westboy under a percentage lease agreement (the "Percentage
Lease"). The Percentage Lease has an initial term of five years with twelve
five-year renewal options at Westboy's option. If the Merger Agreement has not
been consummated by December 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership has the right
to direct Westboy to assign the Percentage Lease to a person designated by the
Operating Partnership, effective on the close of business on December 31, 1998.
If the Operating Partnership does not deliver notice to Westboy that the
Operating Partnership desires Westboy to assign the Percentage Lease on or
before November 1, 1998, or if the Operating Partnership has delivered the
notice but the assignment does not close on December 31, 1998, Westboy has the
right to terminate the Percentage Lease effective on the close of business on
December 31, 1998.
Rental payments under the Percentage Lease consist of a fixed monthly base
rent of $1.7 million, and a variable percentage rent based on a percentage of
room revenues and certain other revenues, payable quarterly. The percentage rent
for a fiscal year will be equal to the amount, if any, by which the sum of (a)
31.5% of Room Revenues (as defined in the Percentage Lease) between $13,166,000
and $45,044,000, (b) 67% of Room Revenues between $45,044,001 and $62,367,000,
(c) 55% of Room Revenues in excess of $62,367,000, (d) 30% of Other Revenues (as
defined in the Percentage Lease) and (e) 10% of Food and Beverage Revenues (as
defined in the Percentage Lease) up to $3,900,000, exceeds base rent for that
fiscal year.
The New Management Agreement. Concurrently with the execution of the
Percentage Lease, the Old Management Agreement was terminated and Westboy and
Red Lion entered into the New Management Agreement under which Red Lion
continues to manage the Hotels on substantially similar economic terms to those
set forth in the Old Management Agreement, which prohibited the transfer of the
Red Lion Hotels without simultaneous execution of a Management Agreement
substantially similar to that of the Old Management Agreement. The New
Management Agreement has an initial term expiring April 5, 2012 with ten
five-year renewal terms and will remain in place following completion of the
Merger. If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement have not been
consummated by December 31, 1998, the New Management Agreement will
automatically terminate and the Old Management Agreement will be automatically
reinstated.
Red Lion has the right to assign its obligations under the New Management
Agreement to an affiliate or any successor or assignee that acquires the
business of the Red Lion. Westboy has the right to assign, transfer or convey
its interest in the Hotels so long as the assignee agrees to be bound by the New
Management Agreement. Westboy also has the right to convey its interest in the
Hotels located in Spokane, Yakima and Bellevue, Washington, and Springfield,
Oregon, not subject to the New Management Agreement, if a lessee of a substitute
full service hotel enters into a management agreement with Red Lion providing at
least the same economic benefit to Red Lion.

3. INCOME TAXES
Through December 31, 1997 the MLP was not a taxable entity and any income
taxes were the responsibility of the partners. Accordingly, no current provision
for federal or state income taxes has been provided in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, deferred
income taxes have been provided for the projected book and tax depreciation
differences on property and equipment at January 1, 1998 (in thousands):

----- ------ ------
Deferred Federal............................................ $-- $320 $231
Deferred State.............................................. -- 57 41
--- ---- ----

=== ==== ====
The effective tax rate of 40% utilized in the calculation of the deferred
tax provision differs from the federal statutory rate of 34% primarily due to
the impact of state taxes, net of federal benefit.
4. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
A cash reserve for capital improvements has been established in accordance
with the provisions of the Old Management Agreement. Funding of 3% of gross
revenues is to be used for renovations, refurbishments and other capital
expenditures. During the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, $3.3
million, $3.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively, were accumulated in this
reserve to fund capital improvements. Capital improvements totaled $2.4 million,
$8.9 million and $10.3 million for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively. Those capital improvements in excess of the 3% reserve were
funded primarily by advances from the General Partner.
5. LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt consists of the following (in thousands):
DECEMBER 31,
--------------------
1997 1996
-------- --------
Term loan, payable in varying installments through March 31,
1999...................................................... $116,126 $118,500

Less current portion........................................ (3,268) (2,375)
-------- --------
$117,746 $121,043
======== ========
During 1996, the MLP entered into a three-year $125 million credit
facility. The credit facility includes a $120 million term loan and a $5 million
revolving credit line. The proceeds of the term loan were used to repay all
amounts owed under the prior mortgage note and revolving credit facility, a
portion of the payable to affiliate (related to deferred incentive management
fees) and loan fees incurred to consummate the financing. The facility is
secured by all of the assets of the Hotels. Borrowings under the term-loan and
the revolving credit line bear interest at the MLP's election, at either LIBOR
plus 2.25% or the prime rate plus 1.25%. At December 31, 1997 the interest rate
on the term loan and the revolving credit line was at LIBOR plus 2.25% (8%). At
December 31, 1997, remaining principal payments due on the three-year term loan
total $3.2 million for 1998, with a lump-sum payment of $112.9 million due on
March 31, 1999.
28
31
RED LION INNS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Other long-term obligations are liabilities for special tax assessments
that the MLP has elected to pay over a 20-year period. These long-term
obligations bear interest ranging from 6.76% to 8.25% with varying maturity
dates through June 2016.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
The Partnership enters into interest rate swap agreements in order to
reduce its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The agreements have
effectively converted floating rate debt, which is tied to LIBOR, to fixed
rates. Accordingly, the net interest received or paid on the interest rate swap
is recorded as an adjustment to interest expense.
At December 31, 1997, the Partnership had four interest rate swap
agreements outstanding which have substantially converted $100 million of debt
from floating LIBOR based rates to fixed rates ranging from 6.17% to 6.23%. The
agreements expire from December 1998 to March 1999. Interest expense incurred by
the Partnership relating to interest rate swap agreements for the year ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, was approximately $496,000 and $470,000,
respectively, and is included as an adjustment to interest expense.
The swap agreements contain a credit risk that the counterparties may be
unable to meet the terms of the agreements. The General Partner minimizes this
risk by evaluating the creditworthiness of its counterparties, which are limited
to major banks and financial institutions, and does not anticipate
nonperformance by the counterparties.
6. MANAGEMENT FEES
In accordance with the Old Management Agreement, the MLP paid base and
incentive management fees to Red Lion. Base management fees payable equalled 3%
of the annual gross revenues of the Hotels. Incentive management fees payable
equalled the sum of 15% of annual adjusted gross operating profit up to $36
million (operating profit target) and 25% of annual adjusted gross operating
profit in excess of the operating profit target. Adjusted gross operating profit
was calculated by subtracting the base management fee expense from the Gross
Operating Profit of Hotels as shown in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. The MLP may defer payment of the incentive fees to Red Lion to the
extent that the calculation of Cash Flow for Incentive Fees, as defined in the
Old Management Agreement, on an annual basis, does not exceed $2.20 per unit
("Priority Return"). The deferred incentive management fees are non-interest
bearing up to a maximum of $6 million. The deferred amount is to be paid out of
either (i) 25% of cash flow in excess of the Priority Return and the current
incentive management fee or (ii) sale or refinancing proceeds prior to any
distribution to the limited partners. For the year ended December 31, 1997, the
MLP deferred the payment of $926,000 of incentive fees due to insufficient cash
flow. During 1996 and 1995, there was sufficient cash flow to reduce the
deferred incentive fee balance by $81,000 and $350,000, respectively.
7. CASH DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTNERS
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, cash distributions to
partners may be made from Cash Flow Available for Distribution, as defined. The
incentive management fee is payable only to the extent that cash flow available
after payment of the cash distributions to partners exceeds the Priority Return.
The following table calculates Cash Flow Available for Distribution and
Incentive Management Fees ("Cash Flow") for the years ended December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995. Cash Flow is defined as pre-tax

The Partnership declared cash distributions of $9.3 million in each of the
years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995. On a per Unit basis, cash
distributions declared were $2.20 in the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995.
Effective January 1, 1998, the MLP entered into the Percentage Lease.
Although the MLP has historically distributed the Priority Return to its limited
partners, there is no assurance this will continue after December 31, 1997. In
addition, the Priority Return can be used to repay certain indebtedness owed to
Doubletree or to fund capital improvements, reducing cash flow available for
distribution to limited partners.
8. LEASES
Two of the Hotels hold leases on all or a portion of their land. The leases
contain rental provisions which are based on increases in the Consumer Price
Index. The terms of the leases expire through July 2067. The Partnership leases
certain equipment under operating leases. Total land and equipment rent expense
for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was approximately $277,000,
$277,000 and $132,000, respectively.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The General Partner is responsible for the management and administration of
the Partnership. In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership
reimburses the General Partner for related administrative costs. Under the Old
Management Agreement and the New Management Agreement, the MLP pays base and
incentive management fees to Red Lion.
The Hotels, in accordance with the Old Management Agreement and New
Management Agreement, are charged by Doubletree for their pro rata share of
support services such as computer, advertising, public relations, promotional
and sales and central reservation services.
All MLP personnel are employees of Doubletree or its affiliates. All costs
for services of such employees are reimbursed by the Operating Partnership.
These costs include salaries, wages, payroll taxes and other employee benefits.
Additionally, auxiliary enterprises owned by Doubletree or its affiliates sell
operating supplies, furnishings and equipment to the Hotels.
The aggregate amounts, excluding personnel related expenses, charged by
Doubletree, through its ownership of Red Lion, to the Partnership under the
arrangements described above are as follows (in thousands):

Advances from General Partner consist primarily of advances for capital
improvements in excess of the FF&E reserve (equal to 3% of revenues required by
the provisions of the Old Management Agreement). At December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, advances from General Partner also include current trade payables
totaling $3.1 million primarily for accrued compensation and other amounts that
are funded by the General Partner and reimbursed by the MLP. With the exception
of trade payables, amounts advanced bear interest at the prime rate plus 0.5%
(9.0% at December 31, 1997). The Hotel working capital consists of the current
assets and current liabilities of the Hotels, including cash held in Hotel
accounts, accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, Hotel accounts
payable and certain taxes other than property, income and payroll taxes. As
Doubletree has operating responsibilities associated with the Hotels, these
current asset and current liability items are excluded from the accompanying
consolidated financial statements and are assumed to be liquidated into cash and
used to pay down the payable to affiliate from $28.8 million to $25.3 million at
December 31, 1997.
During the first 36 months of operation, which ended April 30, 1990, the
General Partner advanced, on a non-interest basis, amounts ("the General Partner
Credit Facility") to fund distributions of the Priority Return. This amount is
to be repaid out of either (i) cash flow after payment of the Priority Return
and incentive management fees, or (ii) sale or refinancing proceeds prior to any
distribution to limited partners. Accordingly, the credit facility is classified
as long-term.
Deferred incentive management fees are non-interest bearing and are payable
from either (i) 25% of cash flow in excess of the Priority Return and the
current incentive management fee or (ii) sale or refinancing proceeds. At
December 31, 1997, all of this balance is classified as long-term.
The following schedules reflect the operating revenues and expenses and

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Under the New Management Agreement and Percentage Lease, capital
expenditures are funded by the Operating Partnership with amounts accumulated in
a reserve fund equal to 3% of annual gross revenue of the Hotels ("the Base FFE
Reserve"). Amounts in the Base FFE Reserve are expended at the discretion of
Doubletree, the Manager. An additional unfunded FFE Reserve equal to one percent
(1%) of gross revenue of the Hotels ("Additional FFE Reserve") also accumulates
amounts to fund capital improvements. Amounts in the Additional FFE Reserve are
expended at the discretion of Westboy, except that the amount in the Additional
FFE Reserve in excess of $5,000,000 (subject to CPI adjustment) may be expended
at the discretion of Doubletree. In addition to the Base FFE Reserve and the
Additional FFE Reserve, Westboy has agreed to spend $10,000,000 before June 30,
2000 on capital improvements at the Hotels.
The MLP is subject to litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of the General Partner, these actions will not have a
material adverse effect, if any, on the financial position or results of
operations or liquidity of the MLP.
11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The estimated fair values of the MLP's financial instruments, and the
methods and assumptions used to estimate such fair values are as follows (in
thousands):

The fair values of the MLP's financial instruments, except for long-term
payable to affiliates and long-term debt, approximate their carrying values due
to the short-term nature of such financial instruments.
The fair value of long-term debt was determined using estimated rates for
similar notes, based on anticipated repayment dates. Based on the terms of the
long-term payable to affiliates, it is impractical to determine its fair value.

The fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the MLP
would pay to terminate the swap agreements at December 31, 1997 and 1996, taking
into account current interest rates and the current credit worthiness of the
swap counterparties.

ITEM 11 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Partnership has no directors, officers or employees. Under the
Partnership Agreement, the General Partner is responsible for the management and
administration of the Partnership. As discussed in Item 13 below, the General
Partner is reimbursed for certain management and administrative costs but
receives no fees for providing these services to the Partnership and the
Partnership is not responsible for the payment of compensation to the officers
of the General Partner. Through December 31, 1997, the Hotels were operated by
Red Lion in accordance with the Old Management Agreement. Effective January 1,
1998, the Hotels are
36
39
operated by Red Lion in accordance with the New Management Agreement. (See Item
1, "Recent Developments -- the New Management Agreement" and see Item 13).
ITEM 12 SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
At March 16, 1998, the following owner beneficially owned more than five
percent of the total number of outstanding Units:

- ---------------
(1) The information relating to FMR Corp. ("FMR") is based solely on a Schedule
13G/A dated February 14, 1998 filed by FMR with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the Partnership accepts no responsibility for its accuracy.
(2) As of March 16, 1998, directors and officers of the General Partner did not
own any Units.
ITEM 13 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Certain of the directors and principal officers of the General Partner are
directors or officers of Doubletree and, in some cases, Promus. The General
Partner is responsible for the management and administration of the Partnership.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership reimburses the
General Partner for administrative costs.
Under the Old Management Agreement, the Partnership paid base and incentive
management fees to Red Lion. Base management fees payable equalled 3% of the
annual gross revenues of the Hotels. The incentive management fee payable
equalled the sum of 15% of annual adjusted gross operating profit up to $36
million (operating profit target) and 25% of annual adjusted gross operating
profit in excess of the operating profit target. Adjusted gross operating profit
is Gross Operating Profit of Hotels as reported in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements less base management fees (3% of gross revenues of the
Hotels).
The MLP may defer payment of the incentive management fees to Red Lion to
the extent that Cash Flow for Incentive Fees, as defined in the Old Management
Agreement, on an annual basis does not exceed $2.20 per Unit (the Priority
Return). Incentive management fees earned but not paid, on an annual basis,
because of the Cash Flow for Incentive Fees limitation, are deferred without
interest up to a maximum amount of $6 million and are repaid out of either (i)
25% of cash flow in excess of the Priority Return and the current incentive
management fee, or (ii) sale or refinancing proceeds prior to any distribution
to limited partners. For the year ended December 31, 1997, the MLP deferred
payment of $926,000 of incentive fees due to insufficient cash flow. SEE ITEM 1
UNDER "RECENT DEVELOPMENTS -- THE NEW MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT" REGARDING THE
TERMINATION OF THE OLD MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS OF THE NEW MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENT.
For the first 36 full months of operations which ended April 30, 1990, the
General Partner agreed to make available to the Partnership a $4 million
non-interest bearing revolving credit facility which was to be used in the event
that Cash Flow was insufficient to distribute the Priority Return to limited
partners. During the 36-month period, the General Partner was required to fund
$3.7 million from the facility. This amount will be repaid out of either (i)
cash flow after payment of the Priority Return and incentive management fees, or
(ii) sale or refinancing proceeds prior to any distribution to limited partners.
Advances from General Partner of $23.6 million and $23.1 million consist
primarily of funds advanced for capital improvements in excess of the FF&E
reserve (equal to 3% of revenues required by the provisions of the Old
Management Agreement). At December 31, 1997, Advances from General Partner also
includes current
37
40
trade payables totaling $3.1 million primarily for accrued compensation and
other amounts that are funded by the General Partner and reimbursed by the MLP.
With the exception of trade payables, amounts advanced bear interest at the
prime rate plus 0.5% (9.0% at December 31, 1997).
The Hotels, in accordance with the Old Management Agreement and New
Management Agreement, are charged by Doubletree for their pro rata share of
support services such as computer, advertising, public relations, promotional
and sales and central reservation services.
All MLP personnel are employees of Doubletree or its affiliates. All costs
of services of such employees are reimbursed by the Operating Partnership. These
costs include salaries, wages, payroll taxes and other employee benefits.
Additionally, auxiliary enterprises owned by Doubletree sell operating supplies
and furnishings and equipment to the Hotels.
For further discussion of related party transactions, see the notes to the
consolidated financial statements.
