LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. General
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lodgian, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries and four joint ventures in which Lodgian has a controlling financial interest (owns at least 50% of the voting interest) and exercises control (collectively Lodgian or the Company). Lodgian believes it has control of the joint ventures when the Company is the general partner and has control of the joint ventures assets and operations. One unconsolidated entity (the Unconsolidated Entity) which owns one hotel is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accounting policies followed for quarterly financial reporting are disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K (Form 10-K) for the year ended December 31, 2002, this Quarterly Report and the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2003.
As previously indicated in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries which owned hotel properties filed for voluntary reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on December 20, 2001, in the Southern District of New York. The Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Companys First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the Joint Plan of Reorganization) on November 5, 2002, and on November 25, 2002, the Company and entities owning 78 hotels officially emerged from Chapter 11. Pursuant to the terms of the Joint Plan of Reorganization, an additional eight wholly-owned hotels were returned to the lender in January 2003 in satisfaction of outstanding debt obligations and one wholly-owned hotel was returned to the lessor of a capital lease.
Of the Companys 97 hotel portfolio, eighteen hotels, previously owned by two subsidiaries (Impac Hotels II, L.L.C. and Impac Hotels III, L.L.C.), were not part of the Joint Plan of Reorganization. On April 24, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the plan of reorganization relating to these eighteen hotels (the Impac Plan of Reorganization). These eighteen hotels remained in Chapter 11 until May 22, 2003, the date on which the Company, through eighteen newly-formed subsidiaries (one for each hotel), finalized an $80 million financing with Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (the Lehman Financing). The Lehman Financing was primarily used to settle the remaining amount due to the secured lender of these hotels (See Note 7 to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The Impac Plan of Reorganization also provided for a pool of funds of approximately $0.3 million to be paid to the general unsecured creditors of the eighteen hotels.
The effects of the Joint Plan of Reorganization were recorded in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code, effective November 22, 2002. SOP 90-7 required the application of Fresh Start Accounting. As a result, the Consolidated Financial Statements subsequent to the Companys emergence from Chapter 11 are those of a new reporting entity (the Successor) and are not comparable with the financial statements of the Company prior to the effective date of the Joint Plan of Reorganization (the Predecessor).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2003, the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 (Successor) and 2002 (Predecessor) and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2003 (Successor) and 2002 (Predecessor). The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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.

(UNAUDITED)
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current periods presentation.
2. Discontinued operations
As previously indicated, pursuant to the terms of the Joint Plan of Reorganization, eight wholly-owned hotels were returned to the lender in January 2003 in satisfaction of outstanding debt obligations and one wholly-owned hotel was returned to the lessor of a capital lease. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of these nine hotels are reported in Discontinued Operations as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Due primarily to the application of fresh start accounting in November 2002, in which these and other assets were adjusted to their respective fair values, there was no gain or loss on this transaction.
The following combined condensed table summarizes the assets and liabilities of these nine hotels as of December 31, 2002:

In addition, in June 2003, the Company embarked on a plan to sell 14 hotels, 3 land parcels and an office building. The strategy to sell these assets is part of managements plans to:
| pay down the Lehman Financing by at least $20 million to minimize interest costs (See Note 7 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements); |
| provide additional funding for the Companys capital expenditure program to comply with franchisor requirements and improve brand quality; and |
| dispose of certain hotels which are performing below the standard set by management for the entire portfolio. |
In connection with this strategy, where the carrying values of the assets
exceeded the estimated fair values, net of selling costs, the carrying values
were reduced and impairment charges were recorded. Fair value is determined
using quoted market prices, when available, or other accepted valuation
techniques. The impairment charges recorded related to 4 hotels and 2 land
parcels and approximated $3.4 million. Where the estimated selling prices, net
of selling costs, exceeded the carrying values, no adjustments were made.
Management plans to dispose of these assets within the next year. While the
6
LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES completion of these dispositions is probable, there can be no assurance
that the Company will finalize the sale of any or all of these assets within
the next year, if at all. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the results of
operations of all assets identified as held for sale (including the related
impairment charges) are reported in Discontinued Operations for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The assets held for sale and the
liabilities related to these assets are separately disclosed on the face of the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2003.
The following combined condensed table summarizes the assets and
liabilities relating to the properties identified as held for sale as of June
30, 2003:
The condensed combined results of operations included in Discontinued
Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were as
follows:
7
LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 3. Cash, restricted
Restricted cash as of June 30, 2003 consists of amounts reserved for
letter of credit collateral and cash reserved pursuant to certain loan
agreements (includes reserves for debt service, taxes, insurance and other
lender-restricted cash balances).
4. Property and equipment, net
As previously disclosed, pursuant to the terms of the Joint Plan of
Reorganization, eight wholly-owned hotels were returned to the lender in
January 2003 in satisfaction of outstanding debt obligations and one
wholly-owned hotel was returned to the lessor of a capital lease. In
addition, during the second quarter of 2003, the Company embarked on a plan to
sell 14 hotels, 3 land parcels and an office building (See Note 2 of these
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
5. Earnings per share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted
earnings (loss) per share:
The computation of diluted loss per share for the Successor periods ended
June 30, 2003, as calculated above, did not include shares associated with the
assumed conversion of the A and B warrants because their inclusion would have
been antidilutive. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the
Predecessor periods ended June 30, 2002, as calculated above, did not include
shares associated with the assumed conversion of the CRESTS (8,169,935 shares)
or stock options because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
8
LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 6. Other accrued liabilities
At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, other accrued liabilities
consisted of the following:
7. Long-term debt
As previously discussed, on May 22, 2003, the Company completed an $80
million financing underwritten by Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. which was
primarily utilized to settle debts secured by the eighteen hotels previously
owned by Impac Hotels II, L.L.C. and Impac Hotels III, L.L.C. (both Lodgian
subsidiaries). The Lehman Financing, provided to eighteen newly-formed
subsidiaries (one for each hotel), is a two-year term loan with an optional
one-year extension and bears interest at the higher of 7.25% or LIBOR plus
5.25%. The one-year extension is only available if, at the time of electing to
extend and at the initial maturity date, there are no events of default. If
the Company opts for the one-year extension, an extension fee of $3.0 million
is payable. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, additional interest of
$4.4 million is also payable prior to the initial maturity date (May 22, 2005).
If, however, the Company makes one or more prepayments totaling at least $20
million in aggregate on or before March 1, 2004, the additional interest
payable will reduce to $3.6 million. Payments of principal and interest on the
Lehman Facility are due monthly. If an event of default occurs, default
interest, which equates to an additional 3.25%, is payable for the period of
the default.
On November 25, 2002, the effective date of the Joint Plan of
Reorganization, loans approximating $83.5 million, secured by 20 hotel
properties, were substantially reinstated on their original terms, except for
the extension of certain maturities. The terms of one loan, in the amount of
$2.5 million and secured by one hotel, were amended to provide for a new
interest rate as well as a new maturity date.
On emergence from Chapter 11 on November 25, 2002, the Company also
received exit financing of $309 million with and through Merrill Lynch Mortgage
Lending, Inc. (Merrill), secured by 57 hotel properties. The exit financing
was initially comprised of three separate components as follows:
9
LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES In March 2003, as permitted by the terms of the Senior and Mezzanine debt
agreements, Merrill exercised the right to resize the Senior and Mezzanine
debt amounts, prior to the securitization of the mortgage loan. As a result,
the principal amount of the Senior Debt was decreased from $223.5 million
(initially $224.0 less $0.5 million of principal payments) to $218.1 million,
and the initial principal amount of the Mezzanine Debt was increased from $78.7
million to $84.1 million. Though the blended interest rate on the Merrill debt
remained at LIBOR plus 4% at the date of the resizing, the interest rate on the
Senior debt was modified to LIBOR plus 2.36% and the interest rate on the
Mezzanine debt was modified to LIBOR plus 8.2546%.
The Senior and Mezzanine debts mature in November 2004. There are,
however, three one-year options to renew which could extend the facility for an
additional three years. The first option to extend the maturity date of the
Senior and Mezzanine debts by up to one year (i.e. to November 2005) is
available only if no events of default occur in respect of the payment of
principal, interest and other required payments. The second and third
extension terms are available only if no events of default (as defined by the
agreement) exist and are subject to minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio and
Debt Yield requirements (as defined). Payments of principal and interest on
all three portions of the facility are due monthly; however, the principal
payments on the Senior and Mezzanine debts may be deferred during the first
twelve months of the agreement.
The Senior and Mezzanine debt agreements provide that when either the Debt
Yield (as defined) for the trailing 12-month period is below 12.75% during the
first year of the loan ending November 2003 (13.25% during the second year) or
the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined) is below 1.20, excess cash flows
(after payment of operating expenses, management fees, required reserves,
principal and interest) produced by the 56 properties must be deposited in a
special deposit account. These funds cannot be transferred to the parent
company, but can be used for capital expenditures on these properties with
lenders approval, or for principal and interest payments. Funds placed into
the special deposit account are released to the borrowers when the Debt Yield
and the Debt Service Coverage Ratio are sustained above the minimum
requirements for three consecutive months. As of March 31, 2003, the Debt
Yield for the 56 properties was below the 12.75% threshold and, therefore, the
excess cash produced by the 56 properties is being retained in the special
deposit account until the Debt Yield increases above the minimum requirements.
As of June 30, 2003, the Debt Yield remained below the minimum requirements.
The Company through its wholly owned subsidiaries owes approximately $10.9
million under Industrial Revenue Bonds (IRBs) issued on the Holiday Inn
Lawrence, Kansas and Holiday Inn Manhattan, Kansas properties. The IRBs
require a minimum debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) (as defined), calculated
as of the end of each calendar year. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the
cash flows of the two properties were insufficient to meet the minimum DSCR
requirements due in part to renovations that were being performed at the
properties during 2002. The trustee of the IRBs may give notice of default,
at which time the Company could remedy the default by depositing with the
trustee an amount currently estimated at approximately $1 million. In the
event a default is declared and not cured, the properties could be subject to
foreclosure and the Company would be obligated pursuant to a partial guaranty
of approximately $1.0 million. The total revenues for these two hotels
approximated $2.2 million and $2.0 million for the Second Quarter 2003 and
2002, respectively, and $3.9 million and $3.5 million for the 2003 Period and
the 2002 Period, respectively.
On
September 30, 2003, first mortgage debt of approximately $7.2 million
of Macon Hotel Associates, L.L.C. (MHA) will become due. MHAs sole asset is
the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Macon Georgia. The Company is in discussions with
the lender to extend the term of this debt to December 31, 2003 while the
Company explores alternative financing opportunities. However there can be no
assurance that the lender will grant the extension or that the Company will
complete a refinancing on or before the due date. If the lender does not grant
the extension and the Company is not able to refinance the debt, the property
could be subject to foreclosure. Total revenues for the Crowne Plaza Hotel in
Macon, Georgia were approximately $1.5 million each for the three months ended
June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $2.9 million and $3.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Companys net
investment in MHA as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 was $2.4 million
and $2.6
10
LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES million, respectively. The debt of
approximately $7.2 million is included
in the current portion of long-term debt in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet.
Substantially all of the Companys property and equipment are pledged as
collateral for long-term obligations. Certain of the mortgage notes are
subject to a prepayment penalty if repaid prior to their maturity.
The Company is subject to certain property maintenance and quality
standard compliance requirements under its franchise agreements. The Company
periodically receives notifications from its franchisors of events of
non-compliance with such agreements. In the past, management has cured most
cases of non-compliance within the applicable cure periods and the events of
non-compliance did not result in events of default under the respective loan
agreements. However, in selected situations and based on economic evaluations,
management may elect to not comply with the franchisor requirements. In such
situations, the Company will either select an alternative franchisor or operate
the property independent of any franchisor (See Note 9 to these Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements).
8. Income taxes
The Company recorded income tax provisions of $0.1 million and $0.2
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. The
provisions for the Predecessor three and six months ended June 30, 2002 were
also $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Both related primarily to
provisions for state income taxes.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
As of August 11, 2003, the Company had received termination notices from
franchisors with respect to 3 properties (this does not include one hotel for
which the Company has met all of the requirements to cure but has not yet
received the cure letter from the franchisor). Also, the Company was not in
strict compliance with the terms of one other franchise agreement. The notices
from the franchisors resulted from physical conditions being below brand
standards. The Company is working with the franchisors to cure the default
conditions and has a capital improvement program to address the capital
improvements required by the franchisors, the re-branding of several hotels and
general renovation projects intended to ultimately improve the operations of
the hotels. During the two years ending December 2004, the Company expects to
spend approximately $76.0 million in aggregate on all 97 hotels, with
approximately $15.4 million currently escrowed for such improvements.
While it is the Companys belief that it will cure all defaults under the
franchise agreements before the applicable termination dates, there can be no
assurance that it will be able to do so or be able to obtain additional time in
which to cure the defaults. The license agreements are subject to cancellation
in the event of a default, including the failure to operate the hotel in
accordance with the quality standards and specification of the licensors. In
the event of a franchise termination, management may seek to license the hotel
with another nationally-recognized brand. The Company believes that the loss
of a license for any individual hotel would not have a material adverse effect
on the Companys financial condition and results of operations, since the
Company would either select an alternative franchisor or operate the hotel
independent of a franchisor.
As part of the Impac Plan of Reorganization, the Company elected to reject
its license agreement relating to its hotel in Cincinnati, Ohio and ceased
operating this hotel as a Holiday Inn on May 23, 2003; the hotel is currently
being operated as an independent hotel. In addition, the Company made the
following franchise changes during the second quarter of 2003:
11
LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES The Company is contingently liable with respect to three irrevocable
letters of credit totaling $4.9 million issued as guarantees to Zurich American
Insurance Company, Donlen Fleet Management Services and U.S. Food Services. The
letters of credit expire in November 2003 but may require renewal beyond those
dates.
The Company is self insured up to certain limits (deductibles) with
respect to employee medical, employee dental, property insurance, general
liability insurance, personal injury claims, workers compensation and auto
liability. The Company establishes liabilities for these self-insured
obligations annually, based on actuarial valuations and the Companys history
of claims. Should unanticipated events cause these claims to escalate beyond
normal expectations, the Companys financial condition and results of
operations could be adversely affected. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had
approximately $7.6 million accrued for such liabilities.
The Company was a party in litigation with Hospitality Restoration and
Builders, Inc. (HRB), a general contractor hired to perform work on six of
the Companys hotels. The litigation involved hotels in Texas (filed in the
District Court of Harris County in October 1999), Illinois (in the United
States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division in
February 2000) and New York (filed in the Supreme Court, New York County in
July 1999). In general, HRB claimed that the Company breached contracts to
renovate the hotels by not paying for work performed. The Company contended
that it was over-billed by HRB and that a significant portion of the completed
work was defective. In July 2001, the parties agreed to settle the litigation
pending in Texas and Illinois. In exchange for mutual dismissals and full
releases, the Company paid HRB $750,000. With respect to the matter pending in
the state of New York, HRB claimed that it was owed $10.7 million. The Company
asserted a counterclaim of $7 million. In February 2003, the Company and HRB
agreed to settle the litigation pending in the state of New York. In exchange
for mutual dismissals and full releases, the Company paid HRB $625,000. The
Company provided fully for this liability in its Consolidated Financial
Statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 (was reflected in general,
administrative and other expenses in the Statement of Operations).
The Company is party to other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of business, the impact of which would not, either individually or in
the aggregate, in managements opinion, have a material adverse effect on its
financial position or results of operations. Certain of these claims are
limited to the amounts available under the Companys disputed claims reserve.
10. New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements
for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN
45) which elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its
financial statements. It also requires a guarantor to recognize a liability
for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee at the
inception of a guarantee. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 were effective
for the Company as of December 31, 2002. The recognition provisions of FIN 45
will be applied on a prospective basis to guarantees issued after December 31,
2002. The requirements of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the
Companys financial position and results of operations.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46). FIN 46 addresses consolidation by a
business of variable interest entities in which it is the primary beneficiary.
FIN 46 is effective immediately for certain disclosure requirements for
variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and effective for
periods beginning after June 15, 2003 for existing variable interest entities.
At June 30, 2003, the Company had no variable interest entities and therefore
the Company does not expect the effects of FIN 46 to have a material impact on
its financial position and results of operations.
12
LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES On April 30, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement
133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities which amends and
clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities under SFAS No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No.
149 requires that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for
similarly. In particular, SFAS No. 149 clarifies the circumstances under which
a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristics of a
derivative as discussed in SFAS No. 133. In addition, SFAS No. 149 clarifies
when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special
reporting in the statement of cash flows. SFAS No. 149 amends certain other
existing pronouncements, resulting in more consistent reporting of contracts
that are derivatives in their entirety or that contain embedded derivatives
that warrant separate accounting. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts
entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships
designated after June 30, 2003. The Company adopted SFAS No. 149 on July 1,
2003. The adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position
and results of operations.
On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity
which aims to eliminate diversity in practice by requiring that certain types
of freestanding instruments be reported as liabilities by their issuers
including mandatorily redeemable instruments issued in the form of shares which
unconditionally obligate the issuer to redeem the shares for cash or by
transferring other assets. Until now, these types of instruments have been
presented in various ways, as part of liabilities, as part of equity, or
between the liabilities and equity sections (sometimes referred to as
mezzanine reporting). The provisions of SFAS No. 150, which also include a
number of new disclosure requirements, are effective for instruments entered
into or modified after May 31, 2003. For pre-existing instruments, SFAS No.
150 is effective as of the beginning of the first interim period which
commences after June 15, 2003 (July 1, 2003 for the Company). The Company
adopted SFAS No. 150 in the third quarter of 2003. The adoption impacted the
treatment of the Companys Mandatorily Redeemable 12.25% Cumulative Preferred
Stock (Preferred Stock), presented in these Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements between total liabilities and stockholders equity. For periods
subsequent to June 30, 2003, the Preferred Stock will be reported as a
liability and the related dividends will be included in interest expense.
Prior periods will be restated for comparability.
11. Related party transactions
Richard Cartoon, the Companys Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, is a principal in a business that the Company retained in
October 2001 to provide Richard Cartoons services as Chief Financial Officer
and other restructuring support and services. In addition to amounts paid for
Richard Cartoons services, the Company was billed $69,000 and $122,000,
including expenses, for other support and services provided by associates of
Richard Cartoon, LLC for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003,
respectively.
12. Subsequent event
In August 2003, management committed to a plan to sell one additional
hotel. Management expects to dispose of this hotel within the next year.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will finalize the sale of
this asset within the next year, if at all. This hotel is included in the
accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as an asset held for
use. The net carrying value of the property, plant and equipment of this hotel
as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 was $1.9 million and $2.0 million,
respectively; related long-term debt approximated $1.8 million as of June 30,
2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. Total revenues were $0.7 million
for each of the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and
$0.9 million and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Chapter 11 proceedings
As previously discussed in the Notes to the unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q, the Company and
substantially all of its subsidiaries which owned hotel properties filed for
voluntary reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on December
20, 2001, in the Southern District of New York. The Bankruptcy Court confirmed
the Companys First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the Joint Plan of
Reorganization) on November 5, 2002 and on November 25, 2002, the Company and
entities owning 78 hotels officially emerged from Chapter 11. Pursuant to the
terms of the Joint Plan of Reorganization, eight wholly-owned hotels were
returned to the lender in January 2003 in satisfaction of outstanding debt
obligations and one wholly-owned hotel was returned to the lessor of a capital
lease.
Of the Companys 97 hotel portfolio, eighteen hotels, previously owned by
two subsidiaries (Impac Hotels II, L.L.C. and Impac Hotels III, L.L.C.), were
not part of the Joint Plan of Reorganization. On April 24, 2003, the
Bankruptcy Court confirmed the plan of reorganization relating to these
eighteen hotels (the Impac Plan of Reorganization). These eighteen hotels
remained in Chapter 11 until May 22, 2003, the date on which the Company,
through eighteen newly-formed subsidiaries (one for each hotel), finalized an
$80 million financing with Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (the Lehman
Financing). The Lehman Financing was primarily used to settle the remaining
amount due to the secured lender of these hotels. The Impac Plan of
Reorganization also provided for a pool of funds of approximately $0.3 million
to be paid to the general unsecured creditors of the eighteen hotels.
The effects of the Joint Plan of Reorganization were recorded in
accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
Statement of Position (SOP) 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code, effective November 22, 2002. SOP
90-7 required the application of Fresh Start Accounting. As a result, the
Consolidated Financial Statements subsequent to the Companys emergence from
Chapter 11 are those of a new reporting entity (the Successor) and are not
comparable with the financial statements of the Company prior to the effective
date of the Joint Plan of Reorganization (the Predecessor).
Discontinued operations
Pursuant to the terms of the Joint Plan of Reorganization, eight
wholly-owned hotels were returned to the lender in January 2003 in satisfaction
of outstanding debt obligations and one wholly-owned hotel was returned to the
lessor of a capital lease. The assets, liabilities and results of operations
of these nine hotels are reported in Discontinued Operations as of and for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Due primarily to the
application of fresh start accounting in November 2002, in which these and
other assets were adjusted to their respective fair values, there was no gain
or loss on this transaction.
In addition, in June 2003, the Company embarked on a plan to sell 14
hotels, 3 land parcels and an office building. The strategy to sell these
assets is part of managements plans to:
In connection with this strategy, where the carrying values of the assets
exceeded the estimated fair values, net of selling costs, the carrying values
were reduced and impairment charges were recorded. The impairment charges
recorded related to 4 hotels and 2 land parcels and approximated $3.4 million.
Fair value is determined using quoted market prices, when available, or other
accepted valuation
14
techniques. Where the estimated selling prices, net of selling costs,
exceeded the carrying values, no adjustments were made. Management plans to
dispose of these assets within the next year. While the completion of these
dispositions is probable, there can be no assurance that the Company will
finalize the sale of any or all of these assets within the next year, if at
all. The results of operations of all assets identified as held for sale
(including the related impairment charges) are reported in Discontinued
Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The
assets held for sale and the liabilities related to these assets are separately
disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2003.
In August 2003, management committed to a plan to sell one additional
hotel. Management expects to dispose of this hotel within the next year.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will finalize the sale of
this asset within the next year, if at all. This hotel is included in the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, presented elsewhere in this
report, as an asset held for use. The net carrying value of the property, plant
and equipment of this hotel as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 was $1.9
million and $2.0 million, respectively; related long-term debt approximated
$1.8 million as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. Total
revenues were $0.7 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2003 and
2002, respectively, and $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Forward-looking statements/risk factors
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Companys
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included
elsewhere herein.
The discussion below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q includes statements
that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These include
managements expectations, statements that describe anticipated revenues,
capital expenditures, other financial items, the Companys business plans and
objectives, the expected impact of competition, government regulation,
litigation and other factors on the Companys future financial condition and
results of operations. The words may, should, expect, believe,
anticipate, project, estimate, plan, and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties,
any one of which may cause actual results to differ materially from those
described in the forward-looking statements, include or relate to, among other
things:
15
Many of these factors are not within the Companys control and readers are
cautioned not to put undue reliance on these forward looking statements.
General Overview
Management believes that the results of operations in the hotel industry
are best explained by three key performance measures: occupancy, average daily
rate (ADR) and revenue per available room (RevPAR) levels. These measures
are influenced by a variety of factors including national, regional and local
economic conditions, the degree of competition with other hotels in the area
and changes in travel patterns. The demand for accommodations is also affected
by normally recurring seasonal patterns since most of the Companys hotels
experience lower occupancy levels in the fall and winter months (November
through February) which may result in lower revenues, lower net income and less
cash flow during these months. RevPAR is derived by dividing room revenues by
the number of available room nights for a given period or, alternatively, by
multiplying the occupancy by the ADR.
The following table shows room data, occupancy, average daily rate and RevPAR
by category of hotel for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002
(shown for those hotels owned and managed as of June 30, 2003,
including a minority-owned hotel which the Company manages):
In accordance with the Smith Travel Research Chain Scales, the categories include the following brands:
Upper Upscale: Hilton and Marriott
Upscale: Courtyard by Marriott, Crowne Plaza, Radisson and Residence Inn
Midscale with Food & Beverage: Clarion, Doubletree Club, Four Points, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Select,
Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort and Quality Inn
Midscale without Food & Beverage: Fairfield Inn, Hampton Inn and Holiday Inn Express
16
The following table shows room data, occupancy, average daily rate and
RevPAR by geographic region for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003
and 2002 (shown for those hotels owned and managed as of
June 30, 2003, including a minority-owned hotel which the
Company manages):
The regions are defined as follows:
Northeast: Canada, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Vermont, West Virginia
Southeast: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee
Midwest: Arkansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas
West: Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico
Revenues. Revenues are comprised of room, food and beverage and other
revenues. Room revenues are derived from guest room rentals, whereas food and
beverage revenues primarily include sales from hotel restaurants, room service,
hotel catering and meeting room rentals. Other revenues include charges for
guests long-distance telephone service, laundry and parking. Approximately
73% of total revenues are derived from guest room rentals, primarily from
transient demand (approximately 70%). Group demand makes up approximately 24%
with contract demand comprising the remaining 6%.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses are comprised of direct expenses;
general, administrative and other expenses; and depreciation and amortization.
Direct expenses, including rooms, food and beverage and other operations,
reflect expenses directly related to hotel operations. These expenses are
variable with available rooms and occupancy, but contain fixed components.
General, administrative and other expenses primarily represent property level
expenses related to general operations such as marketing, utilities, repairs
and maintenance and other property administrative costs. General,
administrative and other expenses also include corporate overhead (such as
accounting services, legal and professional fees, information technology and
executive management) which are generally fixed. Also included in general,
administrative and other expenses for the three and six months ended June 30,
2003 are expenses relating to the post-emergence reorganization activities.

Results of Operations
The discussion of results of operations, income taxes, liquidity and
capital resources that follows is derived from the Companys unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Item I. Financial
Statements included in this Form 10-Q (the Consolidated Financial
Statements) and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements
and notes thereto.
At June 30, 2003, the Company managed a portfolio of 97 hotels. Of the 97
hotels, 92 were wholly-owned, four were owned in joint venture partnerships in
which the Company had a 50% or greater financial interest and one was owned in
a joint venture partnership in which the Company had a minority equity
interest.
At June 30, 2002, the Company managed a portfolio of 106 hotels. Of the
106 hotels, 101 were wholly-owned, four were owned in joint venture
partnerships in which the Company had a 50% or greater financial interest and
one was owned in a joint venture partnership in which the Company had a
minority equity interest.
Except for the hotel in which the Company had a minority equity interest
(which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting), the assets,
liabilities and results of operations of all the hotels are included in the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Reported in Continuing Operations for the three and six months ended June
30, 2003, are 82 of the 97 hotels; 14 hotels are included in Discontinued
Operations along with 3 land parcels and one office building; one hotel is not
consolidated.
Reported in Continuing Operations for the three and six months ended June
30, 2002, are 82 of the 106 hotels; 23 hotels are included in Discontinued
Operations along with 3 land parcels and one office building; one hotel is not
consolidated. The reduction in hotels from 106 to 97 is a result of the return
of eight hotels to the lender and one hotel to the lessor of a capital lease in
January 2003.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 (Second Quarter 2003) Compared to the Three
Months Ended June 30, 2002 (Second Quarter 2002) and Six Months Ended June
30, 2003 (2003 Period) Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 (2002
Period)
Continuing Operations -
Revenues
Second Quarter 2003 compared to Second Quarter 2002
Revenues for the 82 hotels reported in Continuing Operations were $87.1
million for the Second Quarter 2003, a 7.7% decrease from revenues of $94.3
million for the Second Quarter 2002. RevPAR for these hotels declined 7.0%
from the Second Quarter 2002 due to both declines in occupancy (declined by
5.1%) and ADR (declined by 1.9%). Revenues and RevPAR for the Second Quarter
2003 were adversely affected by business declines related to the softening of
the U.S. economy as well as to large scale renovations being performed at some
of the Companys hotels, including all three Hilton hotels, which severely
impacted the Companys performance in the Upper Upscale category.
2003 Period compared to 2002 Period
The factors described above also affected revenues for the 82 hotels
reported in Continuing Operations for the 2003 Period. Revenues for these
hotels for the 2003 Period were $162.7 million, a 6.0% decrease from revenues
of $173.0 million for the 2002 Period. RevPAR for these hotels declined 5.6%
from the 2002 Period due to both declines in occupancy (declined by 4.4%) and
ADR (declined by 1.2%).
18
Direct Operating Expenses
Second Quarter 2003 compared to Second Quarter 2002
Direct operating expenses for the 82 hotels reported in Continuing
Operations were $32.8 million (37.7% of direct revenues) for the Second Quarter
2003 and $35.5 million (37.6% of direct revenues) for the Second Quarter 2002.
The $2.7 million decrease was primarily driven by the reduction in variable
expenses related to the reduction in revenues.
2003 Period compared to 2002 Period
Also primarily driven by the reduction in revenues, direct operating
expenses for the 2003 Period for the 82 hotels reported in Continuing
Operations decreased by $3.3 million (5.0%), from $66.5 million (38.4% of
direct revenues) in the 2002 Period to $63.2 million (38.8% of direct revenues)
in the 2003 Period.
General, administrative and other expenses
Second Quarter 2003 compared to Second Quarter 2002
General, administrative and other expenses were $37.2 million for the
Second Quarter 2003 and $35.3 million for the Second Quarter 2002.
Contributing to this increase of $1.9 million were insurance ($0.8 million),
utilities ($0.4 million), property and other taxes ($0.3 million) and severance
payments of $0.8 million. Post-emergence expenses of $1.0 million related to
the Chapter 11 filing for the 78 hotels that emerged from Chapter 11 in
November 2002 and the nine properties that were disposed of in early January
2003 also contributed to the increase in general, administrative and other
expenses. Post-emergence expenses include legal and professional fees related
to the claims reconciliation process as well as fees payable to the United
States Trustee of the Department of Justice, which are required as part of the
reorganization process. These expenses were reported as reorganization items
for the Second Quarter 2002. These increases were partially offset by other
factors, particularly certain property level expenses which decreased primarily
as a result of the decline in revenues (property level general and
administrative expenses, advertising and promotion, franchise fees and
equipment rentals decreased $1.4 million in aggregate).
2003 Period compared to 2002 Period
General, administrative and other expenses were $73.8 million for the 2003
Period, an increase of $4.4 million over the 2002 Period ($69.4 million). As
in the Second Quarter 2003, there were increases in certain general and
administrative expenses which were partially offset by reductions in property
level expenses, primarily as a result of reductions in revenues. Corporate
overhead also decreased as a result of certain cost reduction initiatives at
the corporate office, including reduction in office space and staff costs.
Insurance, utilities, ground rent and severance payments accounted for
increases of $1.4 million, $1.0 million, $0.3 million and $0.8 million,
respectively. In addition, post-emergence expenses of $3.2 million contributed
to the increase in general, administrative and other expenses. These increases
were partially offset by reduced property level expenses, primarily related to
the decline in revenues; property level general and administrative expenses,
franchise fees and equipment rentals decreased $1.4 million in aggregate. The
remaining reduction is primarily a result of the reductions in corporate
overhead discussed above.
Depreciation and amortization expense
As a result of the write-down of fixed assets recorded on the
implementation of fresh start reporting on November 22, 2002, depreciation for
both the Second Quarter 2003 and the 2003 Period were lower than the equivalent
periods in 2002.
Second Quarter 2003 compared to Second Quarter 2002 - Depreciation and
amortization expense was $7.9 million in the Second Quarter 2003 and $12.0
million in the Second Quarter 2002.
2003 Period compared to 2002 Period Depreciation and amortization
expense was $15.6 million in the 2003 Period and $23.7 million in the 2002
Period.
19
Interest expense
Second Quarter 2003 compared to Second Quarter 2002 Interest expense was
$7.1 million in the Second Quarter 2003 (including amortization of financing
fees of $0.8 million) and $7.6 million in the Second Quarter 2002 (amortization
of financing fees were nil). The reduction in interest expense was primarily
attributable to a reduction in the cost of debt. The Companys variable rate
debt as of June 30, 2003, excluding the new Lehman Financing (which was
completed on May 22, 2003), was approximately $308.8 million. Average LIBOR
was 1.35% and 1.84% for the Second Quarter 2003 and Second Quarter 2002,
respectively. Also, the interest spread on the Companys variable rate debt
was approximately 2% less than it was during 2002. The reduction in interest
expense due to reductions in interest rates was offset by an increase of
approximately $0.4 million of interest expense related to the Lehman Financing
which replaced debt on which the Company paid no interest between December 20,
2001 and May 22, 2003 (as a result of its reorganization proceedings and with
the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Company ceased paying interest on
certain of its debts).
2003 Period compared to 2002 Period Interest expense was $13.5 million
in the 2003 Period (including amortization of financing fees of $1.4 million)
and $16.0 million in the 2002 Period (amortization of financing fees were de
minimus). The reduction in interest expense was primarily attributable to a
reduction in the cost of debt. Average LIBOR was 1.38% and 1.87% for the 2003
Period and the 2002 Period, respectively. Also, the interest spread on the
Companys variable rate debt was approximately 2% less than it was during the
2002 Period. In addition, capitalized interest costs for the 2003 period
increased $0.3 million over the 2002 Period. The reduction in interest expense
due to reductions in interest rates and increases in capitalized interest costs
were offset by an increase of approximately $0.4 million of interest expense
related to the Lehman Financing which replaced debt on which the Company paid
no interest between December 20, 2001 and May 22, 2003 (as a result of its
reorganization proceedings and with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the
Company ceased paying interest on certain of its debts).
Other income (expenses)
Other income (expenses) for the Second Quarter 2002 and the 2002 Period
consisted primarily of gain on extinguishment of debt of $4.4 million. This
gain related to a discharge of indebtedness (principal plus accrued interest)
in respect of Macon Hotel Associates (a subsidiary of the Company) as a result
of a Satisfaction and Release Agreement between Macon Hotel Associates and one
of its lenders.
Reorganization items
For the Second Quarter 2003 and the 2003 Period, reorganization items
included only those Chapter 11 legal and professional costs directly
attributable to the Impac Debtors, as well as extension fees paid to the
secured lender of the Impac Debtors pursuant to the settlement agreement. For
the Second Quarter 2002 and the 2002 Period, the Company recorded all costs
incurred as a result of the Chapter 11 filing (mainly legal and professional
fees) as reorganization items.
Second Quarter 2003 compared to Second Quarter 2002 Reorganization items
were $0.8 million for the Second Quarter 2003 compared to $2.2 million for the
Second Quarter 2002.
2003 Period compared to 2002 Period Reorganization items were $2.0 million
for the 2003 Period compared to $8.0 million for the 2002 Period.
Minority interests
Minority interests relate to the minority share of income or loss of
certain joint venture partnerships and are therefore directly related to the
operating results of the respective hotels. The reduction in minority
interests in the Second Quarter 2003 over the Second Quarter 2002 and also the
reduction for the 2003 Period over the 2002 Period are due to lower operating
results of the respective hotels as well as to a reduced equity ownership for
the minority partners in one hotel (50% in the Second Quarter 2002 and the 2002
Period was reduced to 18% in November 2002).
Second Quarter 2003 compared to Second Quarter 2002 Minority interests were
$69,000 and $0.9 million for the Second Quarter 2003 and the Second Quarter
2002, respectively.
20
2003 Period compared to 2002 Period Minority interests were $0.2 million and
$1.3 million for the 2003 Period and the 2002 Period.
Discontinued Operations
The loss from Discontinued Operations for the Second Quarter 2003 was $3.7
million and $2.1 million for the Second Quarter 2002. For the 2003 Period and
2002 Period, the loss was $5.8 million and $3.8 million, respectively. The
Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the properties classified in
Discontinued Operations is presented below along with a discussion of the
changes between the periods.
21
Income Taxes
As of December 31, 2002, Lodgian had net operating loss carry-forwards of
approximately $206 million for federal income tax purposes, which expire in
2004 through 2021. Under the Joint Plan of Reorganization, substantial amounts
of net operating losses were utilized to offset income from debt cancellations.
The Companys ability to use the remaining net operating loss carry-forwards to
offset future income is subject to limitations which could increase over time.
Due to these limitations, a portion or all of these net operating loss
carry-forwards could expire unused. In addition, the Company recorded an
income tax provision of $0.1 million for the Second Quarter 2003 and $0.2
million for the 2003 Period which related primarily to provisions for state
income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As more fully discussed above, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the
Companys Joint Plan of Reorganization on November 5, 2002 and on November 25,
2002, the Company and entities owning 78 hotels officially emerged from Chapter
11.
Pursuant to the terms of the Joint Plan of Reorganization, eight other
wholly-owned hotels were returned to the lender in January 2003 in satisfaction
of outstanding debt obligations and one wholly-owned hotel was returned to the
lessor of a capital lease. As a result of the surrender of these nine hotels,
long-term debt approximating $15.9 million was extinguished. The results of
operations for these nine hotels have been presented as Discontinued Operations
in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Eighteen hotels, previously owned by two subsidiaries (Impac Hotels II,
L.L.C. and Impac Hotels III, L.L.C.), were not part of the Joint Plan of
Reorganization. On April 24, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Impac
Plan of Reorganization which related to these eighteen hotels. These eighteen
hotels remained in Chapter 11 until May 22, 2003, the date on which the
Company, through eighteen newly-formed subsidiaries (one for each hotel),
finalized an $80 million financing with Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (the
Lehman Financing). The Lehman Financing was primarily used to settle the
remaining amount due to the secured lender of these hotels. The Impac plan of
reorganization also provided for a pool of funds (approximately $0.3 million)
to be paid to the general unsecured creditors of the eighteen hotels.
The Lehman Financing is a two-year term loan with an optional one-year
extension and bears interest at the higher of 7.25% or LIBOR plus 5.25%. The
one-year extension is only available if, at the time of electing to extend and
at the initial maturity date, there are no events of default. If the Company
opts for the one-year extension, an extension fee of $3.0 million is payable.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, additional interest of $4.4 million is
also payable prior to the initial maturity date (May 22, 2005). If, however,
the Company makes one or more prepayments totaling at least $20 million in
aggregate on or before March 1, 2004, the additional interest payable will
reduce to $3.6 million. Payments of principal and interest on the Lehman
Facility are due monthly. If an event of default occurs, default interest,
which equates to an additional 3.25%, is payable for the period of the default.
In addition to the Lehman Financing, long-term debt includes loans
approximating $83.5 million which were substantially reinstated on their
original terms (except for the extension of certain maturities), on November
25, 2002, the effective date of the Joint Plan of Reorganization. These loans
are secured by 20 hotel properties. On the same date, the terms of one loan,
in the amount of $2.5 million and secured by one hotel were amended to provide
for a new interest rate as well as a new maturity date.
The other major component of the Companys long-term debt is the exit
financing of $309 million which it received through Merrill Lynch Mortgage
Lending, Inc. (Merrill), secured by 57 hotel properties. Also received on
the date of emergence from Chapter 11, the exit financing was initially
comprised of three separate components as follows:
22
In March 2003, as permitted by the terms of the Senior and Mezzanine debt
agreements, Merrill exercised the right to resize the Senior and Mezzanine
debt amounts, prior to the securitization of the mortgage loan. As a result,
the principal amount of the Senior Debt was decreased from $223.5 million
(initially $224.0 less $0.5 million of principal payments) to $218.1 million,
and the initial principal amount of the Mezzanine Debt was increased from $78.7
million to $84.1 million. Though the blended interest rate on the Merrill debt
remained at LIBOR plus 4% at the date of the resizing, the interest rate on the
Senior debt was modified to LIBOR plus 2.36% and the interest rate on the
Mezzanine debt was modified to LIBOR plus 8.2546%.
The Senior and Mezzanine debts mature in November 2004. There are,
however, three one-year options to renew which could extend the facility for an
additional three years. The first option to extend the maturity date of the
Senior and Mezzanine debts by up to one year (i.e. to November 2005) is
available only if no events of default occur in respect of the payment of
principal, interest and other required payments. The second and third
extension terms are available only if no events of default (as defined by the
agreement) exist and are subject to minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio and
Debt Yield requirements. Payments of principal and interest on all three
portions of the facility are due monthly; however, the principal payments on
the Senior and Mezzanine debts may be deferred during the first twelve months
of the agreement.
The Senior and Mezzanine debt agreements provide that when either the Debt
Yield (as defined) for the trailing 12-month period is below 12.75% during the
first year of the loan ending November 2003 (13.25% during the second year) or
the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined) is below 1.20, excess cash flows
(after payment of operating expenses, management fees, required reserves,
principal and interest) produced by the 56 properties must be deposited in a
special deposit account. These funds cannot be transferred to the parent
company, but can be used for capital expenditures on these properties with
lenders approval, or for principal and interest payments. Funds placed into
the special deposit account are released to the borrowers when the Debt Yield
and the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined) are sustained above the
minimum requirements for three consecutive months. As of March 31, 2003, the
Debt Yield for the 56 properties was below the 12.75% threshold and, therefore,
the excess cash produced by the 56 properties is being retained in the special
deposit account until the Debt Yield increases above the minimum requirements.
As of June 30, 2003, the Debt Yield remained below the minimum requirements.
The Company through its wholly owned subsidiaries owes approximately $10.9
million under Industrial Revenue Bonds (IRBs) issued on the Holiday Inn
Lawrence, Kansas and Holiday Inn Manhattan, Kansas properties. The IRBs
require a minimum debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) (as defined), calculated
as of the end of each calendar year. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the
cash flows of the two properties were insufficient to meet the minimum DSCR
requirements due in part to renovations that were being performed at the
properties during 2002. The trustee of the IRBs may give notice of default,
at which time the Company could remedy the default by depositing with the
trustee an amount currently estimated at approximately $1 million. In the
event a default is declared and not cured, the properties could be subject to
foreclosure and the Company would be obligated pursuant to a partial guaranty
of approximately $1.0 million. The total revenues for these two hotels
approximated $2.2 million and $2.0 million for the Second Quarter 2003 and
2002, respectively and $3.9 million and $3.5 million for the 2003 Period and
the 2002 Period, respectively.
On
September 30, 2003, first mortgage debt of approximately $7.2 million
of Macon Hotel Associates, L.L.C. (MHA) will become due. MHAs sole asset is
the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Macon Georgia. The Company is in discussions with
the lender to extend the term of this debt to December 31, 2003 while the
Company explores alternative financing opportunities. However there can be no
assurance
23
that the lender will grant the extension or that the Company will complete
a refinancing on or before the due date. If the lender does not grant the
extension and the Company is not able to refinance the debt, the property could
be subject to foreclosure. Total revenues for the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Macon,
Georgia were approximately $1.5 million each for the three months ended June
30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $2.9 million and $3.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Companys net
investment in MHA as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 was $2.4 million
and $2.6 million, respectively. The debt of approximately $7.2 million is
included in the current portion of long-term debt in the condensed consolidated
balance sheet included elsewhere in this report.
Property, plant and equipment which are encumbered by the long-term
obligations discussed above are summarized, by lender pool, in the table below:
As of June 30, 2003, the Company was also contingently liable with respect
to three irrevocable letters of credit totaling $4.9 million issued as
guarantees to Zurich American Insurance Company, Donlen Fleet Management
Services and U.S. Food Services. The letters of credit expire in November 2003
but may require renewal beyond those dates.
The Company is self insured up to certain limits (deductibles) with
respect to employee medical, employee dental, property insurance, general
liability insurance, personal injury claims, workers compensation and auto
liability. The Company establishes liabilities for these self-insured
obligations annually, based on actuarial valuations and the Companys history
of claims. Should unanticipated events cause these claims to escalate beyond
normal expectations, the Companys financial condition and results of
operations could be adversely affected. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had
approximately $7.6 million accrued for such liabilities.
The Companys ability to make scheduled principal payments, to pay
interest, or to refinance its indebtedness depends on its future performance
and financial results, which, to a certain extent, are subject to general
conditions in or affecting the hotel and vacation industry and to the general
economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory
environment. These factors, including the severity and duration of the current
economic downturn, are beyond the Companys control.
The Companys franchise, occupancy and liquor licenses are material to its
business operations.
Franchise licenses these are generally granted for periods of between 10
to 20 years and are renewable at the expiration dates, subject to the
achievement of certain quality and guest satisfaction standards. As of August
11, 2003, the Company had received termination notices from franchisors with
respect to 3 properties (this does not include one hotel for which the Company
has met all of the requirements to cure but has not yet received the cure
letter from the franchisor). Also, the Company was not in strict compliance
with the terms of one other franchise agreement. The notices from the
franchisors resulted from physical conditions being below brand standards. The
Company is working with the franchisors to cure the default conditions and has
a capital improvement program to address the capital improvements required by
the franchisors, the re-branding of several hotels and general renovation
projects intended to ultimately improve the operations of the hotels. During
the two years ending December 2004,
24
the Company expects to spend
approximately $76.0 million in aggregate on
all 97 hotels, with approximately $15.4 million currently escrowed for such
improvements.
While it is the Companys belief that it will cure all defaults under the
franchise agreements before the applicable termination dates, there can be no
assurance that it will be able to do so or be able to obtain additional time in
which to cure the defaults. The license agreements are subject to cancellation
in the event of a default, including the failure to operate the hotel in
accordance with the quality standards and specification of the licensors. In
the event of a franchise termination, management may seek to license the hotel
with another nationally-recognized brand. The Company believes that the loss
of a license for any individual hotel would not have a material adverse effect
on the Companys financial condition and results of operations, since the
Company would either select an alternative franchisor or operate the hotel
independent of a franchisor.
As part of the Impac Plan of Reorganization, the Company elected to reject
its license agreement relating to its hotel in Cincinnati, Ohio and ceased
operating this hotel as a Holiday Inn on May 23, 2003; the hotel is currently
being operated as an independent hotel. In addition, the Company made the
following franchise changes during the second quarter of 2003:
Occupancy licenses these are obtained prior to the opening of a hotel
and require renewal if there has been a major renovation. The loss of the
occupancy license for an individual hotel could have a material adverse effect
on the Companys financial condition and results of operations if this relates
to one of the larger hotels.
Liquor licenses these licenses are required for the hotels to be able to
serve alcoholic beverages and are renewable annually. The loss of a liquor
license for an individual hotel would not have a material adverse effect on the
Companys financial condition and results of operations.
Lodgian utilizes its cash flows for operating expenses, capital
expenditures and debt service. Currently, the Companys principal sources of
liquidity consist of existing cash balances and cash flow from operations.
Cash flow from operations could, however, suffer from a reduction in demand for
lodging as well as large scale renovations being performed at the Companys
hotels. Whereas a downturn in the airline industry could affect demand for
travel, such a decline would not be expected to materially impact liquidity.
The Company has identified for sale 14 hotels, 3 land parcels and an office
building. Though there can be no assurances, management plans to dispose of
these assets within the next year and expects that the aggregate sale of these
assets will provide additional cash to pay down the Lehman debt and fund a
portion of its capital expenditures.
The Company intends to continue to use its cash for ongoing operations,
debt service and capital expenditures and, therefore, does not anticipate
paying dividends on the new common stock in the near future. The dividends on
the preferred stock due November 25, 2003 will be paid via the issuance of
additional shares of preferred stock. For the Second Quarter 2003 and the 2003
Period, the Company accrued $3.8 million and $7.6 million, respectively, of the
total preferred stock dividends due November 25, 2003. Also, until the claims
distribution process is complete and the remaining entities exit Chapter 11,
the Company will continue to make payments in respect of cash claims,
bankruptcy court fees and professional fees relating to the distribution of
shares.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the 2003 Period totaled $9.6
million compared to $21.2 million for the 2002 Period.
For the 2003 Period, cash flows used in investing activities approximated
$9.6 million compared to $9.4 million for the 2002 Period. Investing
activities for both periods consisted primarily of capital
25
expenditures on the Companys properties ($16.1 million and $ 7.8 million
for the 2003 Period and the 2002 Period, respectively). The investment in
capital expenditures for the 2003 Period was partially offset by net
withdrawals from capital expenditure escrows of $7.3 million, while the
investing activities for the 2002 Period were increased by net additions to
capital expenditure escrows of $1.6 million. Other investing activities for
the 2003 period ($0.9 million) consisted of other deposits and payments of
franchise application fees net of refunds.
Cash flows used in financing activities were $3.1 million for the 2003
Period and $1.0 million for the 2002 Period. Financing activities for the 2003
Period consisted primarily of proceeds of long-term obligations of $80.0
million relating to the Lehman Financing, offset by repayment of long-term
obligations of $78.8 million (primarily relating to the repayment of the
secured lender of the eighteen hotels which emerged from Chapter 11 on May 22,
2003). For the 2003 Period, financing activities also consisted of payments of
deferred loan fees of $3.0 million and other financing activities both
primarily related to the Lehman Financing. For the 2002 period, financing
activities consisted of repayment of long-term obligations of $1.0 million.
At June 30, 2003, after classifying assets held for sale as current
liabilities and liabilities related to the assets held for sale as current
liabilities, the Company had a working capital deficit of $62,000 compared with
$9.1 million at December 31, 2002.
There can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient liquidity
to be able to meet its capital expenditure or other requirements, and the
Company could lose the right to operate certain hotels under nationally
recognized brand names. Furthermore, the termination of one or more franchise
agreements could trigger a default under certain loan agreements as well as
obligations to pay liquidated damages under the franchise agreements.
However, management believes that the combination of its current cash
position, cash flows from operations, capital expenditure escrows and asset
sales will be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs in the short-term. The
Companys ability to meet its long-term obligations and to make payments of
preferred dividends is dependent on the recovery of the economy, improved
operating results and the Companys ability to obtain financing. In the
short-term, the Company continues to monitor its costs and has already reduced
corporate overhead including costs for office space (management negotiated
reduced costs for office space at the corporate office, effective July 1,
2003). Any projections of future financial needs and sources of working capital
are however, subject to uncertainty. See Results of Operations and
Forward-Looking Statements for further discussion of conditions that could
adversely affect managements estimates of future financial needs and sources
of working capital.
Corporate governance and senior executive management changes
On May 23, 2003, David E. Hawthorne, the Companys former President and
Chief Executive Officer, resigned. In accordance with his employment
agreement, Mr. Hawthorne was paid severance of $0.8 million (included in
general, administrative and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Operations, included elsewhere in this report).
Concurrently with Mr. Hawthornes resignation, the board of directors
named W. Thomas Parrington as the Companys Interim President and Chief
Executive Officer. On July 15, 2003, Mr. Parrington was appointed President
and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Parrington has been involved in the
hospitality industry for over 30 years. He was President and Chief Executive
Officer of Interstate Hotels Company (Interstate) until he retired in
December 1998. Interstate was a publicly traded company until it merged with
Wyndam Hotels in June 1998. During his 17-year tenure with Interstate, Mr.
Parrington also served as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer.
Upon leaving Interstate, Mr. Parrington focused on real estate investments
(primarily hotels) and consultancy as well as the management of his personal
investments.
Mr. Parrington was appointed to the Lodgian Board of Directors on the
Companys emergence from Chapter 11 on November 25, 2002. While on the Board,
Mr. Parrington served as member of the executive committee, the compensation
committee and was the Chairman of the audit committee. Upon his appointment as
Chief Executive Officer, he resigned from the audit and compensation committees
and continues to serve as director and member of the executive committee.
26
The Board of Directors has named Stephen Grathwohl as the new Chairman of
the audit committee, effective June 5, 2003. Mr. Grathwohl has been a director
since the Companys emergence from Chapter 11 on November 25, 2002. He is a
member of the executive committee of the Board of Directors and has been a
Principal at Burr Street Equities, LLC (a boutique real estate advisory
company) since 1997. Mr. Grathwohl is also director of Shorebank, a commercial
bank chartered by the State of Illinois, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois,
Shorebank Development Corporation, a Chicago real estate development and
management company, and Shorebank Advisory Services, an international financial
research and consulting company.
Inflation
The Company cannot determine the precise impact of inflation. However,
the Company believes that the rate of inflation has not had a material effect
on its revenues or expenses in recent years. It is difficult to predict
whether inflation will have a material effect on the Companys results in the
long-term.
Changes in Accounting Standards
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements
for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN
45) which elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its
financial statements. It also requires a guarantor to recognize a liability
for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee at the
inception of a guarantee. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 were effective
for the Company as of December 31, 2002. The recognition provisions of FIN 45
will be applied on a prospective basis to guarantees issued after December 31,
2002. The requirements of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the
Companys financial position and results of operations.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46). FIN 46 addresses consolidation by a
business of variable interest entities in which it is the primary beneficiary.
FIN 46 is effective immediately for certain disclosure requirements for
variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and effective for
periods beginning after June 15, 2003 for existing variable interest entities.
At June 30, 2003, the Company had no variable interest entities and therefore
the Company does not expect the effects of FIN 46 to have a material impact on
its financial position and results of operations.
On April 30, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement
133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities which amends and
clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities under SFAS No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No.
149 requires that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for
similarly. In particular, SFAS No. 149 clarifies the circumstances under which
a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristics of a
derivative as discussed in SFAS No. 133. In addition, SFAS No. 149 clarifies
when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special
reporting in the statement of cash flows. SFAS No. 149 amends certain other
existing pronouncements, resulting in more consistent reporting of contracts
that are derivatives in their entirety or that contain embedded derivatives
that warrant separate accounting. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts
entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships
designated after June 30, 2003. The Company adopted SFAS No. 149 on July 1,
2003. The adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position
and results of operations.
On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity
which aims to eliminate diversity in practice by requiring that certain types
of freestanding instruments be reported as liabilities by their issuers
including mandatorily redeemable instruments issued in the form of shares which
unconditionally obligate the issuer to redeem the shares for cash or by
transferring other assets. Until now, these types of instruments have been
presented in various ways, as part of liabilities, as part of equity, or
between the liabilities and equity sections (sometimes referred to as
mezzanine reporting). The provisions of SFAS No. 150, which also include a
number of new disclosure requirements, are effective for instruments entered
into or modified after May 31, 2003. For pre-existing instruments, SFAS No.
150 is effective as of the beginning of the first interim period which
commences after June 15, 2003 (July 1, 2003 for the Company). The Company
adopted SFAS No. 150 in the third quarter of 2003. The adoption impacted the
treatment of the
27
Companys Mandatorily Redeemable 12.25% Cumulative Preferred Stock
(Preferred Stock), presented in these Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements between total liabilities and stockholders equity. For periods
subsequent to June 30, 2003, the Preferred Stock will be reported as a
liability and the related dividends will be included in interest expense.
Prior periods will be restated for comparability.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Companys financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP). The accounting policies followed for quarterly reporting are the same
as those disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. The
preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ
from these estimates. The Company believes the following to be its critical
accounting policies:
Capitalization and depreciable lives of assets
Capital improvements are capitalized when they extend the useful lives of
the related asset. Management estimates the depreciable lives of the Companys
fixed assets. All items considered to be repair and maintenance items are
expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets (buildings and improvements 10-40
years; furnishings and equipment 3-10 years). Property under capital leases is
amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated
useful lives of the assets or the lease term.
Revenue recognition
Revenues are recognized when the services are rendered. Revenues are
comprised of rooms, food and beverage and other revenues. Room revenues are
derived from guest room rentals, whereas food and beverage revenues primarily
include sales from hotel restaurants, room service, hotel catering and meeting
room rentals. Other revenues include charges for guests long-distance
telephone service, laundry and parking.
Asset impairment evaluation
Under GAAP, real estate assets are stated at the lower of depreciated cost
or fair value, if deemed impaired. As required by GAAP, the Company
periodically evaluates its real estate assets to determine if there has been
any impairment in carrying value and records impairment losses if there are
indicators of impairment and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amounts. In
connection with the Companys emergence from Chapter 11, and the application of
fresh start reporting, the Company recorded a net write-down of $222.1 million.
Self insured obligations
The Company is self insured up to certain limits (deductibles) with
respect to employee medical, employee dental, property insurance, general
liability insurance, personal injury claims, workers compensation and auto
liability. The Company establishes liabilities for these self-insured
obligations annually, based on actuarial valuations and the Companys history
of claims. Should unanticipated events cause these claims to escalate beyond
normal expectations, the Companys financial condition and results of
operations could be adversely affected. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had
approximately $7.6 million accrued for such liabilities.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) 109 Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires
the use of the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. As a
result of the Companys history of losses, the Company has provided a full
28
valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset as it is more likely
than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The list of critical accounting policies above is not intended to be a
comprehensive list of all of the Companys accounting policies. In many cases,
the treatment of a particular transaction is specifically determined by
generally accepted accounting principles with no need for managements judgment
in selecting from alternatives which would provide different results.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to interest rate risks on its variable rate debt.
At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2003, the Company had outstanding variable
rate debt of approximately $388.8 million and $310.2, respectively.
In order to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates with its
exit financing ($301.6 million and $302.7 million at June 30, 2003 and December
31, 2002, respectively), the Company entered into two interest rate cap
agreements, which allowed it to obtain exit financing at floating rates and
effectively cap them at LIBOR of 6.4375% plus the spread (See the Liquidity and
Capital Resources section). When LIBOR exceeds 6.4375%, the contracts require
settlement of net interest receivable at specified intervals, which generally
coincide with the dates on which interest is payable on the underlying debt.
When LIBOR is below 6.4375%, there is no settlement from the interest rate
caps. The Company is exposed to interest rate risks on the exit financing debt
for increases in LIBOR up to 6.4375%. The one-month LIBOR as of June 30, 2003
was 1.12%. The notional principal amount of the interest rate caps outstanding
was $302.8 million at June 30, 2003 and at December 31, 2002.
On May 22, 2003, the Company finalized an $80 million financing with
Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (the Lehman Financing). The Lehman Financing
is a two-year term loan with an optional one-year extension and bears interest
at the higher of 7.25% or LIBOR plus 5.25%. In order to manage its exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates with the Lehman Financing, the Company entered
into an interest rate cap agreement, which allowed it to obtain this financing
at a partial floating rate and effectively caps the interest rate at LIBOR of
5.00% plus 5.25%. When LIBOR exceeds 5%, the contracts require settlement of
net interest receivable at specified intervals, which generally coincide with
the dates on which interest is payable on the underlying debt. When LIBOR is
below 5.00%, there is no settlement from the interest rate cap. The Company is
exposed to interest rate risks on the Lehman Financing for LIBOR of between 2%
and 5%. The notional principal amount of the interest rate cap outstanding was
$80.0 million at June 30, 2003.
With respect to the fair market value of the three interest rate caps,
(the two related to the exit financing and the one related to the Lehman
Financing), the Company believes that its interest rate risk at June 30, 2003
and December 31, 2003 was minimal. The impact on annual results of operations
of a hypothetical one-point interest rate reduction on the interest rate caps
as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 would be a reduction in net income of
approximately $0.1 million and $14,000, respectively . These derivative
financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and are entered into
for hedging purposes only. The Company does not use derivative financial
instruments for trading or speculative purposes. However, the Company has not
elected the hedging requirements of SFAS 133.
The fair value of the three interest rate caps as of June 30, 2003 and the
two interest rate caps at December 31, 2002 were approximately $15,000 and $0.1
million, respectively The fair values of the interest rate caps were
recognized on the balance sheet in other assets. Adjustments to the carrying
values of the interest rate caps are reflected in interest expense.
The nature of Lodgians fixed rate obligations does not expose the Company
to fluctuations in interest payments. The impact on the fair value of
Lodgians fixed rate obligations of a hypothetical one-point interest rate
increase on the outstanding fixed-rate debt as of June 30, 2003 and December
31, 2002 would be approximately $2.9 and $3.1 million, respectively.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As previously indicated in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2002, the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries which
owned hotel properties filed for voluntary reorganization under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code on December 20, 2001 in the Southern District of New York.
The Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Companys First Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization (the Joint Plan of Reorganization) on November 5, 2002, and on
November 25, 2002, the Company and entities owning 78 hotels officially emerged
from Chapter 11. Pursuant to the terms of the Joint Plan of Reorganization,
eight wholly-owned hotels were returned to the lender in January 2003 in
satisfaction of outstanding debt obligations and one wholly-owned hotel was
returned to the lessor of a capital lease.
Of the Companys 97 hotel portfolio, eighteen hotels, previously owned by
two subsidiaries (Impac Hotels II, L.L.C. and Impac Hotels III, L.L.C.), were
not part of the Joint Plan of Reorganization. On April 24, 2003, the
Bankruptcy Court confirmed the plan of reorganization relating to these
eighteen hotels (the Impac Plan of Reorganization). These eighteen hotels
remained in Chapter 11 until May 22, 2003, the date on which the Company,
through eighteen newly-formed subsidiaries (one for each hotel), finalized an
$80 million financing with Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (the Lehman
Financing). The Lehman Financing was used, primarily, to settle the remaining
amount due to the secured lender of these hotels. The Impac Plan of
Reorganization also provided for a pool of funds of approximately $0.3 million
to be paid to the general unsecured creditors of the eighteen hotels.
The Company was a party in litigation with Hospitality Restoration and
Builders, Inc. (HRB), a general contractor hired to perform work on six of
the Companys hotels. The litigation involved hotels in Texas (filed in the
District Court of Harris County in October 1999), Illinois (in the United
States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division in
February 2000) and New York (filed in the Supreme Court, New York County in
July 1999). In general, HRB claimed that the Company breached contracts to
renovate the hotels by not paying for work performed. The Company contended
that it was over-billed by HRB and that a significant portion of the completed
work was defective. In July 2001, the parties agreed to settle the litigation
pending in Texas and Illinois. In exchange for mutual dismissals and full
releases, the Company paid HRB $750,000. With respect to the matter pending in
the state of New York, HRB claimed that it was owed $10.7 million. The Company
asserted a counterclaim of $7 million. In February 2003, the Company and HRB
agreed to settle the litigation pending in the state of New York. In exchange
for mutual dismissals and full releases, the Company paid HRB $625,000. The
Company provided fully for this liability in its Consolidated Financial
Statements for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The Company is party to other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of business, the impact of which would not, either individually or in
the aggregate, in managements opinion, have a material adverse effect on its
financial position or results of operations. Certain of these claims are
limited to the amounts available under the Companys disputed claims reserve.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES
The Company intends to use its cash for ongoing operations, debt service
and capital expenditures and does not anticipate paying dividends on the new
common stock in the near future. The dividends on the preferred stock due
November 25, 2003 will be paid via the issuance of additional shares of
preferred stock.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
The Company held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on June 5, 2003. The
stockholders voted on (1) the election of directors to serve until the Annual
Meeting of Stockholders of the Company in 2004 and until their successors have
been appointed and (2) to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP
31
as independent public accountants of the Company. The votes cast on each
of the above matters were as follows:

The reduction in revenues was due primarily to the return of 8
properties to the lenders and one property to the lessor of a capital lease in
January 2003. Total revenues for these 9 properties were $6.6 million for the
Second Quarter 2002 and $11.5 million for the 2002 Period (revenues for these
properties were immaterial during 2003). The remaining reduction in revenues
($0.7 million between the Second Quarter 2003 and the Second Quarter 2002 and
$1.8 million between the 2003 Period and the 2002 Period) was due to the same
factors discussed above for Continuing Operations (revenue section).
(2)
The reduction in direct operating expenses was primarily related to the
reduction in revenues.
(3)
Of the reduction in general, administrative and
other of $4.7 million for the Second Quarter 2003 over the Second Quarter 2002,
$3.4 million was due to the elimination of the 9 properties from the portfolio.
The remaining reductions are due to the similar factors discussed above for
Continuing Operations.
(4)
Depreciation and amortization for the Second Quarter 2003 decreased $1.5
million compared to the Second Quarter 2002. For the 2003 period, depreciation
and amortization decreased $3.0 million compared with the 2002 Period. Of these
reductions, the elimination of the 9 properties from the portfolio accounted
for $0.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The remaining reductions were
due to the reduction in the carrying values of fixed assets which occurred on
the implementation of fresh start accounting on November 22, 2002.
(5)
The impairment of long-lived assets of $3.4 million for the Second
Quarter 2003 and the 2003 Period was recorded to reduce the carrying values of
4 hotels and 2 land parcels to their estimated selling prices less estimated
costs to sell. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, where the estimated selling
prices exceeded the carrying values, no gains were recorded.
(6)
Interest expense for the Second Quarter 2003 increased $0.5 million
compared to the Second Quarter 2002. For the 2003 Period, interest expense
increased by $0.7 million compared with the 2002 Period. For the Second
Quarter 2003 and the 2003 period, the increase was primarily due to interest on
the Lehman Financing of $0.2 million and to amortization of deferred financing
fees in 2003 which were de minimus

for the Second Quarter of 2002 and the 2002
Period. The Lehman Financing replaced debt on which the
Company paid no interest in the Second Quarter 2002 and the 2002 Period as a
result of its reorganization proceedings.
